I was doing an upgrade of vboxsvc on one of my machines and I noticed the zvolrights smf: http://sourceforge.net/p/vboxsvc/code/HEAD/tree/usr/share/doc/vboxsvc/README-zvolrights.txt Are people using that successfully to be able to run VirtualBox VMs under a non-root level user? Right now I use iscsi targets to expose my zvols, but being able to access them directly would be a lot easier to manage.
Well, I did run it in testing (but use more portable files or dual-booted raw partitions for "production"), and I believe Edward Ned Harvey used his (different) script to set rights and he used zvols a lot more, though with a different solution to maintain the access rights. So far nobody reported use of this script/service for their non-root VMs, so I can't say how well it works outside of my greenhouse lab testing. Feel free to be the first reporter :) But Ned's example may prove that generally such usage exists. //Jim _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
