Building NetBSD-current on a Linveo 2 vCore 2 GB RAM VPS Reference: https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html Wondering about whether the VPS has enough memory. Wondering about the effect of the inode issue mentioned above. Wondering ho…

I made a tar archive of the newly checked out /src so it's easy to revert if / when the build fails or for any other reason. (Spoiler)

Haha, since it wasn't running inside tmux, I borked the above checkout by shutting my Chromebook when I wanted to go to sleep. Probably all that was necessary was to rerun the checkout command, which I did, and the results seemed okay. For the…

We have options to download tarballs of the sources, but, even though it is slower, let's try CVS as specified at https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-cvs-netbsd-current Switching to tom, checking the environment var…

Setting the CVS environment variables as instructed in https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-cvs (Spoiler)

(Quote) Now we have the directory for the sources. Reference: https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-dirs (Spoiler)

(Quote) Finally getting around to trying this. :) The above linked guide says to make an unprivileged user account to use for building. Documentation for how to make a user account is in Part III, Section 5.6 of the NetBSD Guide. I followed the a…

(Quote) This is why MetalVPS got the 256 GB RAM dedis.

(Quote) Yes! "-F" provides additional helpful information concisely expressed. I wish "-F" were the default. But maybe there is a disadvantage to making "-F" the default for ls?

(Quote) Hi @caasify! When I first saw your comment, my initial thought was, "I don't remember ever seeing any dot files in /etc." Then I ranls -laand was reminded of the Posix dot files which always seem present, I guess, in everyls…

Hello! October 8, 2024 has arrived, so E3 Crunchy now has one month to go before expiration on November 8. Of course, as E3 Crunchy's final month progresses, we doubtless will hear details from @crunchbits about when and how E3 Crunchy will be…

@cmeerw I still have to study up, but here is the output of the df -ml / command you suggested showing results as you predicted: linveo# dateMon Oct 7 23:27:04 UTC 2024linveo# df -mi /Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail %Cap iUsed …

(Quote) With your two new images and with the NetBSD PRs that you mentioned, it looks like both you and NetBSD itself successfully have moved beyond the inodes issue. Normally I would try to read up on the issue before asking a question, but, maybe…

Looks like the info on how to build NetBSD from source is in Part VI of the NetBSD Guide.

Hello! Ubuntu's been wanting to update cloud-init for a few days, so I ran the update: Unpacking cloud-init (24.3.1-0ubuntu0~22.04.1) over (24.2-0ubuntu1~22.04.1) ... Please let me know about any issues. Thanks! Thanks to @crunchbits for be…

Next up for me might be reading about how to compile all of NetBSD from source, getting the sources (probably with CVS) and trying the compile. I am thinking of trying with my present install based on @cmeerw's previous image. I think it'…

(Quote) Haha! I didn't get that far. I was thinking of putting the about-to-be-posted content into a file and running something like sed -i 's/^/>! /g' file and then copy/pasting the result. Your suggestion is a lot easier! So, tha…

Rerunning the command which produced the ptyfsoldnodes failure seems to succeed after the reboot. (Spoiler)

Seems to reboot okay! (Spoiler)

@AlwaysSkint You said "wrap." * Does every line need to start with ">!", or * is it enough to have the first and last lines start with ">!", or * maybe have ">!" above and below the first and last li…

Thanks for asking for spoiler tags! I had been thinking about doing that! It is a lot of output. :)

Here is the output from running sysupgrade auto. Probably I should run the fix given at the end for the failed postinstall checks. What about the lines that say "[1] Bad system call (core dumped) /usr/sbin/etcupdate -a -l ${sflags}" …

(Quote) Suppose I try following @cmeerw's kind instructions for running sysupgrade on my presently installed VM -- in other words, not yet the newly updated @cmeerw image which he just mentioned above. * Start by installing sysupgrade: linveo…

(Quote) Thanks @cmeerw! This is great because it permits Linux users everywhere to have easy access to NetBSD. Plus also, NetBSD fans easily can run NetBSD in lots of inexpensive cloud environments, as long as providers like Linveo are kind enough t…
