Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Boot environments blow away configsettings on reboot

Yeah. That's what I get for getting rusty on OpenSolaris for a year. That said, the boot environment behavior is really a killer when you're running a deployment system like Chef or Puppet. Packages like svr4 creating a boot environment early in a Chef run means when you reboot, the changes made la

By limiting which packages I install and adding the "--deny-new-be" flag to the "pkg install" runs I seem to have prevented new boot environments from being created. However, files like /etc/nsswitch.conf seem to revert to their original installed version after I reboot. Very confused by that given

Hi Guys, I'm having an issue where if I do the following steps, the result of step 2 disappears after a reboot: 1.) pkg install 2.) Install LDAP config files into /var/ldap 3.) pkg install The issue appears to be that two new boot environments are created in steps 1 and 2. After doing steps 1-

But on the bright side - once you've created a RAIDZ instead of a RAID5 and need to move it to another OpenIndiana install down the line, you literally have to just: zpool export poolname, and then move the disks to the new machine and do: zpool import poolname, and data is checksummed so you know
