12.2 AMI Maker Issue
Colin, I have given the new ARM 12.2 AMI maker a spin, and I can see an issue with insufficient storage space on /mnt to do even a basic pkg install run: pkg: Not enough space in /mnt/var/cache/pkg, needed 313 MiB available 90 MiB and: root@freebsd:/home/ec2-user # df -h Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md042M 36M2.8M93%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/md1 9.7G3.6G5.3G41%/bits /dev/nvd0p33.8G3.4G 90M97%/mnt devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/mnt/dev devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/mnt/dev devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/mnt/dev It looks like /mnt is now on /dev/nvd0p3 and seems limited to just over 3G. I then created a new memory disk md2 and mounted it in place of cache/pkg just to get past this issue, but I soon run out of space again while doing pkg install into /mnt. Is there a way to allocate a larger amount of space to /mnt so that I can install everything? Is it parametrisable, or do you need to do that when you are preparing the AMI maker?

If this is not the way to do it, let me know. In the meantime, I will continue testing. Many thanks.

No EC2 screenshot for 12.2 ARM AMI Maker
Colin, I have realised that I have only tested the 12.2 x64 AMI maker on c5 and not the ARM one…facepalm… Just tried again with ami-03ff07383e4897dd4 on c6gd and a t4g. There is no instance screenshot available. The log fills, and eventually I can connect to the machines—much sooner than on the AMD ones. Perhaps I am connecting too early? I have no easy way to figure out if the install has finished, as I have normally used the screenshot. Is there a way to check if the install of FreeBSD to /mnt has been completed? The welcome message seems to suggest it is so, but perhaps that is hardcoded. Or would I be unable to ssh until the process has completed? Many thanks for your pointers.

The disk image installed on nvd0 is *exactly* the same as the release image -- it's less than 10 GB in case someone wants to launch onto a disk of less than 10 GB. If you're adding more packages to it, wanting to expand the filesystem is not at all surprising. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid ___ freebsd-cloud@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-cloud To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-cloud-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You won't be able to SSH in until the disk image has been extracted. I think the ARM instances are faster (in part because the disk image is smaller). -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid ___ freebsd-cloud@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-cloud To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-cloud-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
