Pass

A successful run generates a bit of noise due to killing the child process. I'm not sure, what, if anything to do about that.

Snapshot Space Requirements

Snapshot space accounting is tricky. This document demonstrates that.

Space required to take a snapshot

If there is not enough available space to meet the snapshot's space requirements, zfs snapshot [-r] <dataset>@<snapname> will fail with ENSOPC. Simple, right? Not so much.

Current implementation

The current vmm trace ring buffer implementation is in vmm_sol_dev.c. There is one global ring buffer with a maximum size of 1 MB. Each message in the ring buffer is 280 bytes, allowing 3744 messages in the buffer.

Redirect Ubuntu Console to First Serial Port

The cloud images that Canonical provides has the grub and linux console on the VGA port. This doesn't work so well for bhyve, where the graphical console only works with uefi. This document describes how to fix that using SmartOS.

Select a source image

The source image needs to include cloud-init 18.3 or later. Any Ubuntu 16.04 or later image produced by Canonical starting in July, 2018 should fit this criteria. The image in this example is described as Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (20180808 64-bit). Certified Ubuntu Server Cloud Image from Canonical..
