Hi List, et. al, I'd like to share a FreeBSD package containing a new rc.d script that I've = written for make managing VIMAGE jails. http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/vimage-1.1.tbz The FreeBSD package installs the contents of this patch: http://druidbsd.sf.net/download/vimage_rc.20110831135736.patch If you feel like participating in the discussion about said-patch, here's t= he thread link: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-rc/2011-September/002422.html However, this thread is for the discussion of the package and getting some = people to test the new script before it gets approved for HEAD. First, a primer: You'll need to ideally be running FreeBSD-8.1 or higher. Next, at a minimum, you'll need a kernel with the: options VIMAGE line added to the kernel configuration. NOTE: You should also add "nooptions SCTP" (without quotes) if "include'ing= " GENERIC, or if working on a copy of GENERIC, simply find the "options SCT= P" line and comment it out as VIMAGE does not yet support SCTP. Last, you'll need to do one of the following three things, either: 1. Add the following lines to your kernel configuration: options NETGRAPH options NETGRAPH_BRIDGE options NETGRAPH_EIFACE options NETGRAPH_ETHER options NETGRAPH_SOCKET NOTE: Kernel will always support bridging. 2. or, instead, add the following lines to your /boot/loader.conf file: ng_bridge_load=3D"YES" ng_eiface_load=3D"YES" ng_ether_loader=3D"YES" ng_socket_load=3D"YES" NOTE: Kernel will rely on modules loaded at boot time to support bridging. 3. or, instead, execute the following commands kldload ng_bridge kldload ng_eiface kldload ng_ether kldload ng_socket NOTE: Must be executed each/every time you reboot. Once that has been accomplished, you should verify that you can see your Et= hernet devices by executing: ngctl list On a system with both a bge0 and an fxp0 interface, the above command produ= ces the following output: There are 3 total nodes: Name: bge0 Type: ether ID: 00000001 Num hooks: 0 Name: ngctl4173 Type: socket ID: 0000002e Num hooks: 0 Name: fxp0 Type: ether ID: 00000002 Num hooks: 0 Once you've got that all set up, now you're ready to start making Vimages. If you're familiar with managing jails, it's not much different. However, a= s a refresher, I recommend checking out /etc/rc.conf.d/vimage after install= ing the package. It will show you which options should be set to enable eac= h feature for each vimage. --=20 Cheers, Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
