(Quote) Yes, your image will be affected, a quick way to tell is to run df -mi / In the iAvail column it will likely show something like 20 million inodes (instead of maybe 3 million), but in the 1M-blocks column you'll likely only see around 20000…

Made another update to the NetBSD 10.0 image to use more useful parameters during filesystem creation (only realised over the weekend that the scripts I based my image creation on used some rather questionable filesystem settings that result in an a…
-
(Quote) How much more expensive are they, or did you get a special deal and they are price-matching Hetzner?
-
(Quote) BTW, did you check IPv6 setup? Had another quick look into FreeBSD land, and I don't think IPv6 was set up for me there.
-
(Quote) 99.99 % sounds interesting (that's like 5 minutes per month?) - what HA infrastructure do you have in place to make that guarantee?
-
(Quote) Thanks, it did install with the new image now.
-
(Quote) It still seems to be rebuilding from the old image (for me on kvmtx12). I can see that you have downloaded the updated image (netbsd-10.0-v3.qcow2).
-
(Quote) Ahh, yes... Guess upgrading the kernel first, rebooting and then updating userland would have been the safer option :o So maybe: sysupgrade fetch, sysupgrade kernel, reboot, sysupgrade auto
-
(Quote) I am installing "base etc kern-GENERIC man modules rescue" now. (Quote) I don't think it would make a lot of sense as the image would be quite large and as NetBSD-current changes daily, the image would need to change very frequent…
-
I have created a new NetBSD 10.0 image with these changes: * certificates are now set up correctly out of the box (thanks @Not_Oles for pointing that out) * use "log" option on the root filesystem * pre-install "modules" and &qu…

(Quote) There is an A record and an SMTP server listening: 220 dweb.five-host.com ESMTP Exim 4.98 Wed, 02 Oct 2024 14:23:18 +0300

(Quote) Unless you really want to rebuild everything from source, you can just use sysupgrade (from pkgsrc) and point it to the latest HEAD build.
-
(Quote) I don't think you need to do any bootstrapping on NetBSD, just cd to the package you want to build and type make there. (Quote)
-
(Quote) but only from providers with a provider tag. :p
-
I think you can install the compiler by just doing: ftp -o - https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/amd64/binary/sets/comp.tar.xz | progress -z tar xpf - -C / Alternatively, you could use sysinst to install additional packages (but need to …
-
(Quote) I think a certctl rehash is missing (I need to add that to the image creation). PKG_PATH is already set in /etc/pkg_install.conf for that image, so with a fresh install you can currently do: NetBSD 10.0 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Mar 28 08:33:33 UTC…
-
(Quote) Not sure, I guess it's just the kernel probing what devices are available. I haven't really figured out what it is complaining about, the only thing I have found was the vmware and vmt0 errors. (Quote) On the first boot it resizes the parti…
-
(Quote) Yes, that's expected as I used the unpatched NetBSD kernel for that image. I can probably build another image with a patched kernel, now that the basics seem to be working.
-
(Quote) At least for me, everything seems to be working as expected. It did set up the network correctly (both IPv4 and IPv6) and also added the SSH key to the root user.
-
I have put together another NetBSD 10.0 image. With some luck that should now even apply the network configuration and add SSH keys (if the configuration information is provided by VirtFusion). @linveo could we give that image a try?
-
(Quote) Seems to work today. Yesterday, only the FreeBSD 13.2 one worked (the others failed at the "Creating configuration." stage when rebuilding the server on VirtFusion).
-
(Quote) BTW, the script to build the image is here: https://bitbucket.org/cmeerw/netbsd-cloud-image/src/main/
-
@linveo Just having a quick look around the installation options on the VM dashboard. From the FreeBSDs only FreeBSD 13.2 seems to install (but only shows a single CPU core), with the other FreeBSDs I get an error at the "Creating configuration…
-
(Quote) I wonder if it could be an old qemu or Linux kernel version running at linveo that could be responsible for the inconsistent cpuid information provided in their Intel VMs?
-
I have put together a first NetBSD 10.0 image (somewhat based on the script from bsd-cloud-image.org, but without any cloud-init so far, so will need manual network configuration via VNC). @linveo do you want to add that as an installation image (it…
-
@linveo have the cloud-init settings changed on the VM with the move to AMD? I used to see a small hard disk with the VM meta data on the Intel VM: Sep 24 15:51:37 linveo /netbsd: [ 2.2808864] sd0 at scsibus3 target 0 lun 2: <QEMU, QEMU HARDD…
-
(Quote) Haiku does actually work in the VM, I think I was just a bit too impatient last time as it needs quite a bit time to boot from the ISO image (as I believe VirtFusion is streaming the image data on demand via HTTP from the remote server).
-
(Quote) Thanks so much. So looking at the CPU information on AMD, the CPUs show up as: [ 1.000004] cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 0 [ 1.000004] cpu0: Use mfence to serialize rdtsc [ 1.000004] cpu0: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor …

(Quote) This one? Bark Bark Ltd? That's the @webmash guy (nowadays WebUK Ltd)
-
(Quote) Could you maybe switch me over to AMD as well? I have now created a bug report for the Intel issue https://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=58693 so it doesn't get lost, but not sure when/if that might get applied to the k…
-
(Quote) As I said here earlier (Quote) but NetBSD should probably be able to handle this situation better (by continuing with sensible settings instead of asserting), particularly if it's a somewhat common issue in virtualised environments (and oth…
-
(Quote) Yes: https://edge.cmeerw.net/netbsd-10.0-vm.gz BTW, a relatively easy way to then install NetBSD is to put that (gunzipped) kernel file into a (relatively small) separate partition on the VM (not sure which filesystems the NetBSD loader sup…
-
(Quote) BTW, as far as I understand the code, it also only affects Intel CPUs (AMD should be fine). Ideally, NetBSD should be able to handle this case more gracefully, so I have brought it up on their tech-kern mailing list yesterday.
-
(Quote) That's what I have been talking about here all the time: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/186288/#Comment_186288 and https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/186301/#Comment_186301 You'll need to compile the kernel with the ch…

What's the expected performance and uptime on these plans? Are there minimum performance/uptime guarantees?
-
Running cpuid in a Linux VM on that machine I get: $ cpuid -1l1 | fgrep hyper-threading hyper-threading / multi-core supported = false So lp_max = 1 $ cpuid -1l4 | fgrep "in pkg" maximum IDs for cores in pkg = 0xf (15) and core_m…
-
(Quote) The "obvious fix" of just adding: (Quote) seems to work and I have now managed to install NetBSD 10.0 with such a modified kernel. But it looks like something is not being reported correctly (by the CPU/virtualised CPU) here.
-
I think I managed to extract the NetBSD kernel panic now. This is possible by using grub2 to read the memory where NetBSD formats the panic string. Essentially, what you need to do is look at either the netbsd.map file or the output of nm netbsd and…
