Hi Colin, could you share your config to automatically generate the ZFS-based AMI? I have an existing setup using Packer and bsdinstall, used on several staging systems. For an official AMI, I wouldn't expect anything but the default bsdinstall ZFS-on-root setup. Here's an example (does some more stuff, see repo's purpose): https://github.com/AndiDog/zfs-lockup/blob/master/http/installerconfig_zfs Cheers, Andreas On 2018-12-28 13:00, freebsd-fs-request@freebsd.org wrote: > Message: 4 > Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 01:43:45 +0000 > From: Colin Percival <cperciva@tarsnap.com> > To: Ben Woods <woodsb02@gmail.com>, freebsd-cloud@freebsd.org, > "freebsd-fs@freebsd.org" <freebsd-fs@freebsd.org> > Subject: Re: Any plans for EC2 AMIs with RootOnZFS? > Message-ID: > <01000167f27b4bf2-d7bb71e2-70f4-4b20-9848-4aa7fdafccc9-000000@email.amazonses.com> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > [Adding freebsd-fs in the hope of finding more ZFS people.] > > On 12/23/18 3:51 PM, Colin Percival wrote: >> On 12/23/18 7:12 AM, Ben Woods wrote: >>> Is there any plans to provide official FreeBSD AMIs in the AWS Marketplace >>> which use RootOnZFS out of the box? >> >> Nothing concrete yet, but it's on my radar.
