I managed to solve it. The zvols on my system (FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE) is created using sysutils/vm-bhyve. This procedure sets volmode=dev which results in partitions being hidden from the OS. It's further explained in zfsprops volmode=default|full|geom|dev|none This property...

Sorry for waking up an old thread, but I have a similar problem where I need to access files in filesystems contained in zvols, so I thought expanding this thread would be better than creating a new one. I have autoboot_delay=-1 set in /boot/loader.conf which seems to prevent me from making...

usdmatt: You might just be right. Too bad if that's the case. I want to use it in a similar way as with nullfs in jails. https://bsdfund.org/projects/ mentions "FreeBSD 9p client improvements as needed" as a future project. It implies that there's a client somewhere?

The examples on how to mount the filesystem in a guest seems to be Linux centric in most cases I've seen, is there a particular reason for this? -- I'm using vm-bhyve to manage guests. Configuration excerpt: ... bhyve_options="-s 15,virtio-9p,sharename=/test" vm-bhyve.log excerpt: ... Apr...

Duly noted. I've looked around in the documentation. /boot/boot1.efifat is still mentioned in some places both in wiki and man pages, gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot .. is also something mentioned in the man page. UEFI article on the FreeBSD wiki states the same as you did, that is copying...

I'm getting a bit confused. From my understanding what gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efifat -i 1 ada0 does is essentially the same as mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0p1 /mnt && cp /boot/loader.efifat /mnt/efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi? However, according to the statement VladiBG posted a link to it seems like...

Argentum: From the uefi manual it seems that boot1.efifat is for use with bsdinstall. Is this really the one I want to use? ... /boot/boot1.efi First stage UEFI bootstrap /boot/boot1.efifat msdosfs(5) FAT file system image containing boot1.efi...

Answering my own question: VirtFS support is being included in 13.0-RELEASE with commit 100353cfbf8 🎉

I'm happy to see that VirtFS/9p support will be included in the FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE! https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/relnotes/

Hi all, I'm not trusting my judgement today. With help from you I hope to regain it :) I upgraded my system zpool and need to update the boot code. Zpool upgrade # zpool upgrade system This system supports ZFS pool feature flags. Enabled the following features on 'system'...

I'm wondering if anyone knows about the status of VirtFS/9p and its usability on FreeBSD. I cannot seem to find any clear information about it and few seem to have tried it or currently using it. According to this there was an implementation 3 years ago stable enough for upstreaming. However...

Thank you very much for taking your time to answer! I haven't made any progress with this project. Mostly because I've been busy with other stuff. I did play around a bit with building custom images. It works pretty well. It goes something like this: cd /usr/src make buildworld make...

Hi! This is an open discussion and I'm mostly curious about your general ideas and thoughts about the subject and a few struggles I'm having on my way. It's going to be a bit wall-of-texty. Sorry about that, I'll try to make it as easily digested as possible :) It's about using small static VM...

So what zfs send | zfs receive does is actually transfer a completly independed copy? Meaning the copy can be fully accessible even though the source is removed? I was thinking this as a way of temporarly storing data on a secondary disk. Something like this: zfs snapshot myPool/usr/local@snap...

As far as I understand it zfs send | zfs receive works in the same manner as snapshots, that is storing the differences from the origin dataset in the snapshot (or in this case as a browsable dataset). So if I completely remove the disk from the pool I'm zfs sending from, will the disk pool I...

gstat shows the drives to be quite stalled actually. Switching rsync compression off did change it to around 20% though. I'll give multiple instances of rsync a try. Thanks

I'm backing up files from a broken down system using a memstick and an additional harddrive. - Three disks in a ZFS raidz pool which I've. - One disk with a fresh UFS filesystem used for backing up files. I'm using rsync -avz on a FreeBSD live CD for copying files to the UFS filesystem, but...

Now I'm able to mount all datasets under one single 'altroot' making it possible for me to chroot into the system. zpool import couldn't handle legacy mount points, so I had to set one by zfs set mountpoint=/ tank. I was also thinking maybe some features were missing on my pool making FreeBSD...

I did a binary upgrade with freebsd-update. It went something like this: # freebsd-update -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade # freebsd-update install Installing updates...chflags: ///var/empty: Read-only file system # shutdown -r now I didn't really mind the error and just rebooted the system when...
