(Quote) And now that I have figured out the exact commands of how to do it, I could probably even integrate that into the resize_root script.
-
(Quote) This should work: * reboot into single user mode * tunefs -l 0 /dev/dk2 * mount -ruo reload /dev/dk2 / * reboot (this should then resize the filesystem, and trigger another reboot) in between these commands you can check with dumpfs -s / t…

(Quote) So the main issue is that resize_ffs doesn't really handle the filesystem log, so resizing such a filesystem is disabled in my boot scripts. In some cases you could run into data corruption (although that would be with an out-of-filesys…

(Quote) Thanks, I'll try to mainly work on it from around 16:00 UTC on Saturday to 23:00 UTC (but will hopefully be a lot shorter).
-
(Quote) well... (Quote) sounds a bit like there will always be some reason to kick users out. What if I feel offended by your repeated questions about CPU usage policies?
-
(Quote) Such a shame.
-
(Quote) Aehh, what does that mean then?
-
(Quote) that's a lot but what is VSwap anyway? we are talking about KVM, aren't we?
-
Absolutely fine for me to reboot now @Hosteroid
-
(Quote) I am actually quite curious to try IPMI, but will likely wait for the weekend (or at least not today), so I have enough time to fix it again in case I completely mess it up. I think the plan is still to first just try and shrink the ext4 fi…
-
@Not_Oles what would you think about using btrfs or xfs for /home partition (or another partition)? As Haiku says in their dev documentation there are reasons not to use ext4: (Quote) Maybe this could be a good opportunity to learn something new a…

Installed a few more dev packages: sudo apt-get install nasm texinfo gawk unzip zip libzstd-dev xorriso gcc-multilib ohh... and jed (can't have a machine without jed) sudo apt-get install jed

Thanks so much. Just did some basic setup tasks to add a user account and generate a few more locales, i.e. adduser cmeerwadduser cmeerw sudodpkg-reconfigure locales and selected these additional locales: de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8en_GB.…

Seems pretty quiet around here... so maybe there is a chance for me to get an account on this fine server? While I do currently have sufficient VPS capacity for most stuff, I don't really like to run long compile jobs on one of these VPSes - a…

BTW, a coworker was just wondering whether big endian ARM was just a hypothetical architecture or something real. Well, it's properly supported by NetBSD 10.0 and works out of the box on a Raspberry Pi 3; it's even mentioned in the release…
-
(Quote) I have updated my NetBSD images to now use such an additional host route for the gateway instead of widening the subnet mask: NetBSD 10.0 and NetBSD 9.4 @linveo could you update the templates when you get some time (and I believe to NetBSD…
-
BTW, is there any IPv6 support?
-
(Quote) Very generous of you to sponsor the prize :p

(Quote) Great, what did I actually win? =)

(Quote) Oh, thought we have multi-core systems, so this could be done in parallel... Anyway, then I go for 3 - E

(Quote) @Dewlance ?

(Quote) I would usually use the boot.iso from https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/amd64/installation/cdrom/ (checksum is in SHA256 in the same directory) as it's smaller and would then download the installation packages from the Inter…
-
(Quote) Nowadays that doesn't really mean much any more. Chances are that Outlook will block you, and as I found out, mxroute has adopted a similar preemptive blocking approach now (surprisingly, I am not seeing much outright blocking fro Googl…
-
Just noticed that a VPS I bought on Friday to replace my InceptionHosting VPSes also has this weird CPU configuration that makes NetBSD crash (interestingly, it's based on Virtualizor)
-
(Quote) No. (Quote) ACPI is sufficient for that, and clicking the "Stop" button on the panel does actually do a clean shutdown.
-
(Quote) The average customer won't know what your agreement with PayPal (or any payment processor says), so it will be a surprise to them. The other thing to keep in mind is that these refunds could also be covered by distance selling regulati…

(Quote) Is that like a hosting plan, except that it is hosed?
-
(Quote) I don't think "simply won the chess game" is entirely accurate
-
(Quote) NetBSD's gcc should actually be able to compile the Linux kernel itself, but the build scripts will probably expect a GNU userland instead of the NetBSD tools. Compiling a kernel doesn't need that much disk space or RAM (I am comp…
-
(Quote) If you are only debugging NDP, wouldn't tcpdump be entirely adequate for that? If you have to transfer files between machines you'll likely get confused as you don't see what's happening in real time.
-
And on NetBSD the command to add that out-of-subnet host route would be: route add -inet6 -net 2607:5300:1234:12ff:ff:ff:ff:ff/128 -connected -link -iface vioif0 EDIT: also need -connected
-
(Quote) I think Linux only gets around this by letting you add a "random" host route on the network interface that you can then use for your default gateway. On thing you could do on the BSDs is to use the link-local address of the gatewa…
-
(Quote) Are you assigned both 1234::1 and 12ff::1? If not, what happens if other VMs on that node use the same 12ff::1? Shouldn't that be at least an address that is guaranteed to be unique?
-
(Quote) How about getting a provider tag first, before posting offers here?
-
(Quote) Yes... but first you need to get root access to the host machine. And to do that you need to use the IPMI vulnerability, but the host also needs to have a completely insecure boot manager that lets you boot into something like init=/bin/bash…
-
Could someone explain the attack vector here. As far as I understand, they got access to IPMI. Is that essentially allowing access to the console? So they would then reboot the server and then boot into something like init=/bin/bash to get root acce…
-
(Quote) That's not very low-end as the maximum allowed here is $7 per month. How come others can offer so much cheaper packages?
-
(Quote) Not much really, just noticed a small glitch in the network setup in my NetBSD 10 image. But it's probably really just cosmetic - it adds "alias" flags to the addresses when it shouldn't. Just something to keep in mind fo…
-
(Quote) Will they even have a provider tag by Black Friday? And to continue the list: Do you allow setting RDNS records for both IPv4 and IPv6? Do you block any ports (25)? Do you have clean IP space? Do you allow sending spam? Do you allow port s…
-
Also got it now. I think this is important: (Quote) Thanks for that!
-
(Quote) But what's the conclusion here? Has anything been done to avoid a repeat of this situation? Will @crunchbits act on such a report in the future again? Has the reporter been warned not to blindly send abuse reports where the source IP ad…
