NetBSD NAS software setup

Once boot process was solved, I needed to setup ZFS for my hard drives and several services like NFS and Samba, setup network bonding using the new dedicated lagg(4) interface with LACP protocol, which in turn would complete the major NAS functionality.

ZFS setup

Initial ZFS setup was pretty easy. Luckily, configuring ZFS modules (solaris, zfs) in modules.conf(5) file was enough to make it work, even if configuration file was located in chrooted root partition. I mainly followed the Creating ZFS pools on NetBSD article from the UnitedBSD , or more exactly the “Create a ZFS pool” section by creating a ZFS pool and datasets with the mount points. After that, adding “zfs=YES” line in rc.conf(5) file does the final trick in order to mount ZFS partitions in their intended locations. I also enabled de-duplication and gzip compression features. The main mistake followed after adding a second hard drive to the zpool, which was intended to be a mirrored drive, for which attach command should have been used. NetBSD’s zpool command doesn’t allow removal of the drive without proper redundancy and doesn’t support forced removal, thus I need to recreate the pool, which was a bit of painful setback. According to recommendations I scheduled once a month zpool scrub operation, but still need to setup scheduled snapshots in the nearest future.

Link aggregation

As mentioned previously QNAP TVS-675 system contains two expansion card slots using PCIe Gen3 x4 interface. Thanks to the cut at the back of the port, cards with x8 physical slot can also fit into the port (longer cards may not fit though without modifications, metal frame can block the insertion). The challenge in doing so that it was a very short distance between PSU and a slot bracket, which made it very difficult to unscrew it without removing the PSU first. Once the network card was physically in place, the major problem occurred while setting up the lagg(4) interface using link aggregation control protocol (LACP). It appeared that mcx(4) driver wasn’t setting up full-duplex data transmission required by the protocol. Fortunately, the fix was relatively easy and made it into NetBSD 10 release by enforcing full-duplex in the driver. Additionally, missing lagg parameters were documented in ifconfig(8) man page. After the fix, network bonding setup was pretty straightforward by creating /etc/ifconfig.lagg0 file:

create
laggproto lacp laggport mcx0 laggport mcx1
up

I also created ifconfig.mcx0 and ifconfig.mcx1 with only up command and added net_interfaces=”mcx0,mcx1,lagg0″ line to /etc/rc.conf to control initialization order and ensure that mcx interfaces are up before lagg0 interface is created and initialized. For dhcpcd I added dhcpcd_flags=”-qM lagg0″ flags. After reboot my switch was happy to accept link aggregation with my NAS system.

Samba setup

Next step was to install and enable samba(8). The small issue was the missing xbase set required by the samba installation, since I was not aware of this requirement. I simply downloaded the required set and extracted it manually. Other than that I could mainly reuse configuration file from Linux system by only adjusting required paths and placing it in /usr/pkg/etc/samba/smb.conf location. Of course I needed to create a samba user (smbpasswd). Also worth to note that smbd, nmbd and winbindd services should be enabled instead of samba service, contrary to typical Linux experience.

NFS setup

NFS configuration was not compatible with the Linux one on the other hand and I needed to rewrite it from scratch. NetBSD “how to set up nfs and nis” and UnitedBSD NFS on NetBSD: server and client side wiki articles were a great guidance. To enable NFS properly I needed to add these line to /etc/rc.conf:

# NFS server
rpcbind=YES
nfs_server=YES
nfsd_flags=’-n8′
mountd=${nfs_server}
lockd=${nfs_server}
statd=${nfs_server}

And configure /etc/exports according to examples from the articles above. From client side I just needed to adjust /etc/fstab to the new NFS path.

Other notes

I also installed rtorrent as my torrent service and utilized cron to enable it after boot by adding this line to crontab configuration:

@reboot /usr/bin/tmux new-session -d '/usr/pkg/bin/rtorrent -D -I -n -o import=$
PWD/.rtorrent.rc'

.rtorrent.rc file just need to point to the session path, otherwise I kept it standard. After that tmux attach -d -t 0 command can be used to attach to the rtorrent session and CTRL+B D to detach from it.

In order to monitor HDD and its temperature I installed smartmontools utility. Current temperature can be retrieved using sudo smartctl -a /dev/rwd1|grep -i temp command (raw device should be used, thus rwd1 instead of wd1).

Finally I created the patch for the CPU temperature which didn’t make it to NetBSD 10 release, but hopefully will be available with NetBSD 10.1 through envstat(8) command. For time being I am using the patched kernel.

Overall my experience is quite positive with the new setup. There are still few improvements required, mainly for the data redundancy and potentially better power management and improved CPU support. The NAS device doesn’t like enclosed environments without proper airflow and my become extremely noisy in such case, however it works pretty silently be default. Actually the main noise was coming from 10-Gbit ethernet card, which has an active fan. Hard drives are also pretty audible unfortunately, thus SSDs would be preferred if silence is the priority.

pkgsrc-2022Q1 quarterly release

Time is moving fast and pkgsrc released three quarterly releases since my last update. The last one, 2022Q1 release was announced few days ago. It marks 74th quarterly release with 321 new packages added, 56 removed, and 1762 updates to 1209 unique packages since last update. You can read more details in the release annoucement. As usual, pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a archived file. Installation and usage instructions can be found here or in the project page.

pkgsrc-2021Q1 quarterly release

Last week pkgsrc announced the 70th quarterly release. Since this release default Go version is 1.16. Compared to the last release, over 2000 packages were updated, 381 added and 61 removed. There is also a note stating that some packages with difficult dependencies like Firefox may not compile on NetBSD 8, it is advised to upgrade to NetBSD 9. As usual, pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a tar file. Instructions can be found here.

GNOME 3 is finally available on NetBSD

With a some overdue compared to other BSDs, GNOME 3 desktop environment meta package was recently added to pkgsrc. Successful installations were reported by some NetBSD users including screenshots! Thus, I am also planning to give a try soon, since it is my default desktop environment in Linux systems. Currently, it can be build from sources only using latest pkgsrc branch. Likely, binary package will be available with the pkgsrc-2020Q4 release next year.

pkgsrc-2020Q3, NetBSD 9.1 were released

In October two major releases were announced. A bit over a week ago, the day on 9 of October, 2020 was marked by 68th quarterly release of pkgsrc project. pkgsrc2020-Q3 is a third one this year and included 241 new packages, removed 115 of them, and committed 1713 (to 1273 unique packages) updates to existing packages since last release. More information can be found in the release announcement itself.

Just 9 days later, on 18 of October NetBSD tagged 9.1 release and the official announcement is available starting today. This is the first feature update to NetBSD 9 release branch and includes lots of fixes for security and stability reasons as well as new drivers, third party software updates and enhancements. The full list of changes since 9.0 can be found here. Personally, inclusion of aq(4) driver was important to my setup since I am using Aquantia AQC100 based Asus XG-C100F SFP+ 10Gbit network adapter. The CTWM window manager is already default starting this release. As usual, the release can be downloaded from CDN service or any other project mirrors.

pkgsrc

pkgsrc-2020Q2 released

The time is moving fast and next quarterly release of pkgsrc is ready. Today the pkgsrc developers officially announced 67th the cross-platform packaging system release. It includes 440 new packages, let go of 111 packages, and performed 2844 package updates (for 2146 unique packages). All release announcement can be found here. pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a tar file. Instructions can be found here.

pkgsrc-2020Q1 released and more

Today the pkgsrc developers announced the 66th quarterly release. In total 335 packages were added, 163 were removed and 2323 package updates performed (to 1762 unique packages) since last release. Please read release announcement for the highlights of the release. pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a tar file. Instructions can be found here.

In general, I am using pkgsrc extensively and recently I had a very positive experience on one of my secondary computers for the first time after 2 years. I was pleasantly surprised with the very smooth process with only wine package failing (which is quite expected for NetBSD as a target, it was patched manually before as well). Personally, I usually use current branch, but the pkgsrc-2020Q1 release should guarantee stability of packages if that matters to your setup. Binary packages will be also based on this release (installed by pkgin). Recently, I started to contribute to pkgsrc through pkgsrc WIP which makes it easier to contribute fore newcomers. Thank to this, I also contributed to 1 package update in this release :).

Addionally, I also missed NetBSD 9.0 based irBSD 15.03.2020 v9 release. It can be downloaded from here. For the reminder, it is a digital forensic suite for cryptography, penetration testing, data recovery, reverse engineering, privacy and other security tasks with pkgin package manager and ratpoison as default window manager. Give it a try!

The last but not the least, there is an interesting project going on to run RISC OS and NetBSD at the same time on RK3399 SoC. You can read about the project here or follow Michael Grunditz tweeter account.

pkgsrc-2019Q3 released

On 3 of October 64rd quarterly release of pkgsrc was announced. pkgsrc-2019Q3 had 301 packages added and 114 packages removed, 1280 packages were updated (1682 package updates in total). Besides notable additions mentioned in the release announcement, it was the first release with contribution from myself! Due to time constraints I don’t believe that I will become regular contributor but I plan to work on few selected packages in the future too.

Codelite building issues from pkgsrc

Recently I am trying to build my own desktop environment on NetBSD which is based on current branch and using current pkgsrc for packages. I successfully built up to date MATE 1.22.1 desktop environment but got stuck on pretty outaded CodeLite IDE (9.1.0 in pkgsrc compared to 13.0.0 being the latest at the time of writing). The first error I hit by was:

/usr/pkgsrc/editors/codelite/work/codelite-9.1/LiteEditor/clangpch_cache.h:35:10: fatal error: clang-c/Index.h: No such file or directory

Since I was quite sure that I should have it, I quickly looked around and I found that header exists in /usr/pkg/include/clang-c/Index.h. So quick workaround was quite obvious by setting CFLAGS environment variable to point to pkg include folder. Since I checked that this variable didn’t have any value, I just simply did:

export CFLAGS=/usr/pkg/include

It helped me to finish the build successfully but linking failed with “ld: cannot find -lclang” error… So yet another environment variable was needed:

export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib

After that linking went successfully but it wasn’t the end of the story yet. Package PLIST file contained 5 files which were not available after the build. Apparently spell checker was not part of the build for some reason and lib/codelite/SpellCheck.so and all files in share/codelite/dics/ folder (including folder itself) were missing. Because of this pkg_create was failing to assemble the installation package. You would see messages like “pkg_create: can’t stat <filename>”. I just decided remove those files from PLIST file:

fossil diff --unified PLIST

Unfortunately there is one caveat that after changing this file I needed to make a clean build again (make clean before make install). Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to rebuild CodeLite on modern CPU, especially if all cores are utilized. Finally, after all the struggles CodeLite IDE started successfully (even if it’s a relatively old version).

CodeLite 9.1.0 on NetBSD amd64 8.99.50

Update: Actually I managed to build the latest CodeLite (13.0.1) too straight from github source code. The most applied patches were the same as pkgsrc package has (actually seems even less is needed now). Manually I needed to add /usr/pkg/libexec/wx-3.0 to PATH since build script need wx-config and I also needed to change libssh.so path to from /usr/lib/libssh.so to /usr/pkg/lib/libssh.so (libssh-0.87) in CMakeFiles/<module>.dir/link.txt files which were linking against it. Probably updating pkgsrc package should not be difficult too considering my relatively easy success , so I guess package is not actively maintained anymore. Will see if I can prepare a patch.
