Hello FreeBSD, I have problems with diskless install when kernel doesn't have tmpfs and random device takes long time to unlock.
Looks like newfs used to create in-memory /etc (on /dev/md0) silently fail to create FS. I've added '-XL' options to mdmfs and it looks like this: da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE> arc4random: no preloaded entropy cache arc4random: no preloaded entropy cache *** Figure out our NFS root path *** *** handle_remount /conf *** *** templates are base default *** *** handle_remount /conf/base/etc *** *** handle_remount /conf/base/var *** *** handle_remount /conf/default/etc *** *** handle_remount /conf/default/var *** *** create_md etc with size 20480 *** DEBUG: running: /sbin/mdconfig -a -t swap -s 10485760B DEBUG: running: /sbin/newfs -U /dev/md0 random: read_random_uio unblock wait random: read_random_uio unblock wait random: unblocking device. DEBUG: running: /sbin/mount /dev/md0 /etc mount: /dev/md0: No such file or directory mdmfs: mount exited with error code 1 "/dev/md0" is here, but it is empty, without any FS. I could run "/sbin/newfs -U /dev/md0" later by hands and it works. -- Best regards, Lev mailto:l...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
