Fixing the system/bootenv/default/usr to be mounted

My goal is to make an easy way to upgrade with beadm by using the idea found in this post. I had a problem with my first attempt which I solved with the details in this post.

boot mfsBSD

This tool has very quickly become one of my favorites. I like how easy it is to pop in a USB drive and boot a live version of FreeBSD to do stuff.

The import

I imported my zpool without mounting it.

zpool import -N system

What I found (slightly redacted for brevity):

The rename & copy

Rename the dataset first:

# zfs rename system/bootenv/default/usr system/zzz.DELETE.ME.bootenv.default.usr

Create my new one:

# zfs create system/bootenv/default/usr

Create a mount point & mount it:

# mkdir /NEWUSER

# mount -t zfs system/bootenv/default/usr /NEWUSER/
mount: system/bootenv/default/usr: Device busy

What?

# zfs mount
system/bootenv/default          /mnt
system/bootenv/default/usr      /usr

Oh. When I created, it auto-mounted. I could have avoided that by specifying zfs create -u.

# zfs umount system/bootenv/default/usr

# mount -t zfs system/bootenv/default/usr /NEWUSER/

How much data will I be copying over?

# du -ch -d 1 /mnt/usr/
306K	/mnt/usr/libdata
 93M	/mnt/usr/bin
 18M	/mnt/usr/libexec
627K	/mnt/usr/jails
 17K	/mnt/usr/src
 17K	/mnt/usr/ports
 17K	/mnt/usr/obj
 17K	/mnt/usr/games
 79M	/mnt/usr/lib
 37M	/mnt/usr/sbin
 93M	/mnt/usr/share
 99K	/mnt/usr/local
 36M	/mnt/usr/include
176K	/mnt/usr/home
 66K	/mnt/usr/lib32
357M	/mnt/usr/
357M	total

Seems reasonable.

But first, let’s snapshot:

root@mfsbsd:~ # zfs snapshot -r system@BeforeTarOfUsr

Really, I should have done this at the start of this post.

The copy

This copies from /mnt/usr to /NEWUSER and is superior to cp because it caters for all types of files.

root@mfsbsd:~ # tar clf - -C /mnt/usr . | tar xpvf - -C /NEWUSER
x ./
x ./libdata/
x ./bin/
x ./libexec/
x ./jails/
x ./src/
x ./ports/
x ./obj/
x ./games/
...
...
x ./libdata/ldscripts/elf_x86_64_fbsd.xu
x ./libdata/ldscripts/elf_x86_64_fbsd.x
x ./libdata/ldscripts/elf_x86_64_fbsd.xr

Check what we copied

Now, diff it:

root@mfsbsd:~ # diff -ruN /mnt/usr /NEWUSER
diff: /mnt/usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory
diff: /NEWUSER/bin/perl: No such file or directory
diff: /mnt/usr/bin/perl5: No such file or directory
diff: /NEWUSER/bin/perl5: No such file or directory
diff: /mnt/usr/lib/libcrypto.so: No such file or directory
diff: /NEWUSER/lib/libcrypto.so: No such file or directory
diff: /mnt/usr/lib/libkvm.so: No such file or directory
diff: /NEWUSER/lib/libkvm.so: No such file or directory
diff: /mnt/usr/lib/libmd.so: No such file or directory
diff: /NEWUSER/lib/libmd.so: No such file or directory

That’s OK. They are in pairs, and are symlinks elsewhere:

root@mfsbsd:~ # ls -l /mnt/usr/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  25 Dec 27 20:35 /mnt/usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl5.16.3

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15 Dec  4  2012 /mnt/usr/lib/libmd.so -> /lib/libmd.so.5

And…

One more look:

Look over that carefully, and see if you can anticipate the problem I encountered after rebooting.

After rebooting

After rebooting, I ssh’d in and found this:

$ bash
bash: not found

OK, I have no /usr/local. Well, I do, but it is not complete:

$ ls -l /usr/local

What’s here?

Ahhh, there, mounted in the wrong place, because they took their names from their parent. OK, I will move those back.

I have no idea why that won’t run now. So….

Let’s reboot.

And I did.

All good then.

HTH

Hope this helps. I posted this mostly for recording what I did.

HEADS UP: I think I have to do the same thing for /var now:

# beadm create 10.1-RELEASE
Created successfully
# beadm mount 10.1-RELEASE /mnt
Mounted successfully on '/mnt'
# mount -t devfs devfs /mnt/dev
# chroot /mnt
# chroot /mnt
root@slocum:/ # bash
Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "bash"

OK, so bash still doesn’t work in the chroot but that is not my biggest issue:

root@slocum:/ # freebsd-update -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/freebsd-update
root@slocum:/ # cd /var
root@slocum:/var # ls -l
total 66
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel    4 Nov  8  2013 audit
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel    2 Apr 14  2014 empty
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  149 Mar 12 14:00 log
drwxrwxrwt  6 root  wheel    6 Jan 16 22:07 tmp

Perhaps I need to do to /var what I just did for /usr. But that will be for another night.

See that list above? See how closely it matches this list?

$ zfs list -r system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var
NAME                                    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var         304K  6.13T   352K  /var
system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var/audit  16.0K  6.13T   320K  /var/audit
system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var/empty  16.0K  6.13T   288K  /var/empty
system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var/log    16.0K  6.13T  7.80M  /var/log
system/bootenv/10.1-RELEASE/var/tmp    16.0K  6.13T  1.57M  /var/tmp

That’s not a coincidence. I’m moving it all over to the parent. I know why those directories are separate; it’s what pjd did.
