      @scottalanmiller said in Allowing Root Password Login via SSH to Dragonfly BSD:

      Dragonfly is tough by default because unless you use something like Salt, you can't connect to it to get keys to it in the first place. You can curl keys to it, of course. But you need totally different processes than you would typically use with any other OS to get it set up.

      That means it's not even Ansible friendly. Pretty much agent-based tools like Puppet, Salt, etc... is the way to go.

      Yup, unless you have some way to push the Ansible key ahead of time, like in a curl. So back to the beginning there 🙂

      @scottalanmiller said in Errors Installing SaltStack on NetBSD 7.1.1:

      Got it, it was a packaging versioning issue. I had accidentally set the verison to 8.0 when it was 7.1.1. I got a clean install and set the package version correctly and now it works fine.

      If you want to know how to set the version accurately automatically, try this that I just made...

      export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/`uname -m`/`uname -r`/All/"

      That's exactly what I was thinking but didn't say anything. I wanted to see what you'd do.

      I would check if there are any DNS errors trying to get the Repos or sites then look at this:

      The Linux world is complex enough for normal users. BSD just pushed them that much farther over the edge.

      @matteo-nunziati said in DragonFly BSD 4.8 Released:

      for curiosity sake: who is actually using dragonfly bsd and why?

      I've deployed it a bit in labs. I'm always watching it closely because Hammer is very important.

      Hammer?

      One of the world's most advanced fileystems. Dragonfly is important as a kernel alternative ecosystem to FreeBSD, from which it split (in many ways Dragonfly is the real FreeBSD and FreeBSD is the "new" product that split from it) but its real relevance is as a filesystem research platform. The kernel maintainer there writes a totally unique filesystem, called Hammer, just for Dragonfly.

      I have a copy of SCO Unix. Very niche. Full box and license. Found it when i was clearing out the IT attic at work. I havent seen a Solaris box since 2010.

      @scottalanmiller

      Thanks - I will proceed without using ZFS - I prefer hardware RAID.

      Tim

      ZFS is perfectly fine with hardware RAID, if you like ZFS' features otherwise (like zsend is nice) then there's no reason to avoid it. If you don't plan to use any unique features, then XFS is my "go to" choice by default. Very fast, very stable.
