(Quote) Thanks so much! <3 Debian is great, of course, and Debian also is very widely adopted. That's why, originally, I asked @Hosteroid <3 for Debian, since I thought Debian would be the most appreciated OS by the majority here at LES. Howe…

(Quote) Sounds great! No rush. :star: As I said, I'm working on the filesystem stuff on another server, for a little while. To be clear, my main concern is staying fair with Hosteroid. If at least somebody has an upcoming use for the Community Ser…

Hello! I got another server temporarily so that I can mess with LVM without risk of causing disruption here. More on LVM in a little while. If I understand right, @quangthang wants to try running Nix on ARM architecture, and our server is Intel. @…

Already found a mistake! :) I needed to run postinstall. In the output of the successful install, it says: (Spoiler) And here's what happened when I ran the suggested fix: (Spoiler)

I installed all the newly compiled userland binaries, and then rebooted again. It seems to have worked. I'm cautiously optimistic! Install (Spoiler) Reboot (Spoiler) Now we seem to be running NetBSD-current on our newly updated and self-compiled…

In case anyone is interested, there is more information related to this post in the LES BSD thread.

Here is a page about the Neoverse N-1 CPU used in the Netcup G11 VPS: https://developer.arm.com/Processors/Neoverse%20N1 Quoting from the linked page, it seems like this CPU includes some 8.3+ extensions, but apparently not all the extensions need…

(Quote) I had a 258 line discussion with Google Gemini on the basis of which I think I might have received a few helpful hints about the answers to the questions I asked above. Here it is, in case anybody might be interested: (Spoiler)

(Quote) I've been trying to understand. It's complicated. For example, how should I understand "really added"? At https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102142/0100/Nested-virtualization it says, "Before the release of Armv8.3-A, it…

Welp, what do you think? Did the reboot work? Rebuilding and updating NetBSD-current seems more suspense-filled than I remember from the old days. . . . Here is moving the new kernel into place: (Spoiler) And here is . . . what . . . happened . .…

(Quote) @cmeerw Excellent! Thanks for letting us know!

(Quote) When I installed bashvm I wasn't sure where to put it. I wanted everybody to be able to read it, but I didn't want to change the root $PATH or the user $PATH. What I did was put bashvm in /usr/local. root@hlcs:~/.ssh# cd /usr/localroot@hlc…

If it's okay with @cmeerw, maybe @quangthang might like to try installing NixOS on the entire bare metal server? The server has an HTML5 IPMI available. We could then keep going with NixOS or change back to Debian or to something else later. Whateve…

Well . . . I did build the kernel again. . . . I'm not sure whether having the "-x" flag in the kernel build changes anything. But it might. Tomorrow, maybe we will see if the VPS reboots with the newly updated and recompiled kernel. Th…

Okay, done with the X Window System enabled distribution build. I think I wouldn't have to rebuild the kernel again, right? ===> Successful make distribution===> build.sh ended: Fri Jan 10 04:18:03 UTC 2025===> Summary of results: …

(Quote) build.sh command: ./build.sh -j 2 -O ../obj -r -T ../tools -U distribution Nope! :) I forgot the -x flag to add X Windows! So, probably, something like build.sh command: ./build.sh -j 2 -O ../obj -r -T ../tools -U -x distribution …

Here is the Summary of the kernel rebuild. ===> Summary of results: build.sh command: ./build.sh -j 2 -O ../obj -T ../tools -U kernel=GENERIC build.sh started: Fri Jan 10 01:06:48 UTC 2025 NetBSD version: 10.99…

Hi again @quangthang! I got a chance to read your posts and to look up a few things. I've never used NixOS, so I don't have anything to add to what you and @cmeerw already have said. I hope you go ahead on the server and have a lot of fun! Best! &…

Hi @quangthang! I've seen your posts above but I haven't had a chance to read them carefully. Luckily @cmeerw was here and kindly responded! I'm glad you got in to the server! Yaaay! :star:

(Quote) Hi @hobofl! Sorry about my delayed response to your comment. I wanted to wait until I had a chance to look at the SFConservancy link you provided. I really appreciate your comment for at least four reasons. * First, your comment concisely…

(Quote) Hi @quangthang! Thanks for your request, which makes me happy! Of course, I definitely do remember you from previous servers, and so I am very delighted to have you joining hlcs! :star: I sent you login info. You are sharing root with me a…

I hear from Google Gemini that the contents of the fs directory includes: * The Virtual File System Layer (VFS) -- abstracts common operations across various file systems to enable presenting a unified interface to user applications, * Specific …

I heard the the filesystem code lives in the fs directory. So I took a look. Hey! We can see ext4 in there! And xfs! And btrfs! If I understand right, the ZFS code is not present, but needs to be added via a kernel module. root@manassas:/usr/local…

Hello! I wanted to glance at the Linux kernel filesystem code before installing more filesystems. In order to be 100% sure I wouldn't mess up our Community Server (Thanks @Hosteroid!) I cloned the kernel code with git on a VPS elsewhere. Since the…
