| [diablo] | Good evening #ubuntu-server .. | 17:24 |
|---|---|---|
| [diablo] | guys a friend of mine is about to clean install an old server he has. He's going to install 18.04 server... Is ZFS fully supported please? | 17:25 |
| [diablo] | for a mirror of two drives ... will hold data, pictures, movies, music etc | 17:26 |
| [diablo] | not ZFS for the OS | 17:26 |

| mason | [diablo]: Yeah, that's easy enough to do. Do your installation using up 30G or so of each drive, standard MD-RAID1/LUKS/LVM, and you can have a big partition at the end of each disk for LUKS->ZFS or straight ZFS, mirrored either way. | 19:19 |
| mason | [diablo]: Something I like to do with LUKS is use two key slots, so I can have one key in the (encrypted) root, say, /etc/keys or something, and one keyslot dedicated to a passphrase I can type should I somehow lose access to the keys. | 19:19 |
| [diablo] | hi mason sorry I did Google and found it's fully supported | 19:20 |
| mason | Yep. | 19:20 |
| [diablo] | :) | 19:20 |
| [diablo] | for this no encryption will be required | 19:20 |
| mason | [diablo]: The trick is that the installer doesn't help you with it, so you'll probably end up doing a dual-stage install. | 19:20 |
| [diablo] | I use ZFS on FreebSD... | 19:20 |
| [diablo] | so I wanted to embrace it for my mates box.. | 19:20 |
| mason | Good idea. | 19:20 |
| [diablo] | cheers for replying tho | 19:21 |
| mason | FreeBSD and Ubuntu are very similar in terms of how they support ZFS, with the caveat that GRUB can't easily deal with all of it without a ton of handholding. | 19:21 |
| [diablo] | enjoy your weekend | 19:21 |
| mason | Already on that. | 19:21 |
| [diablo] | his install for OS is regular EXT4 and LVM... | 19:22 |
| mason | On MD-RAID1? | 19:22 |
| [diablo] | just the RAID mirror I wanna put on ZFS | 19:22 |
| [diablo] | OS is just 1 x SSD | 19:22 |
| mason | You're not going to run ZFS on the MD-RAID are you? | 19:22 |
| mason | ah | 19:22 |
| [diablo] | no no... the old spinning rust drives will be vaped to ZFS and mirrored | 19:22 |
| mason | kk | 19:23 |
| [diablo] | :) | 19:23 |
| mason | FWIW, I also like using GPT and specifying vdevs using GPT labels. Very, very easy, consistent, trouble-free. | 19:23 |
| mason | Consistent between FreeBSD and Ubuntu even. | 19:23 |
| mason | My last gushing recommendation will be thinking about using the Linux EFI stub loader, because then you can do away with GRUB entirely. I keep copies of my kernels and initrds in my ESP and boot Linux directly, no bootloader, with mirrored/native-encrypted (or LUKS for older Ubuntu) ZFS root. Good stuff. | 19:24 |
| mason | Of course, if you do that you're moving away from what the shipped installer can handle, but, eh. | 19:25 |
| mason | Anyway, on to the weekend-enjoyment phase. You have a good one too. | 19:25 |
| [diablo] | mason cheers, I might do that | 19:35 |
| [diablo] | all the best | 19:35 |
| ChmEarl | trying to boot `eoan-live-server-amd64.iso` in qemu with kvm.. I get a frozen window and the language menu never appears, while the disco ISO instantly gives this | 20:55 |
| ChmEarl | using qemu-4.1 on Debian buster | 20:55 |
| compdoc | do you use virt-manager? | 21:19 |
| ChmEarl | compdoc, no, I use cmdline | 21:26 |
| ChmEarl | compdoc, it seems that qemu-4.2 has this fixed with a new kconfig for CONFIG_LZ4 | 21:27 |

| mybalzitch | stupid bugs | 21:39 |
| ChmEarl | looked over the qemu-4.2* tree and there is nothing new for lz4 in ./configure | 22:00 |
| ChmEarl | only the u-boot: roms/u-boot/lib/lz4.c | 22:01 |
