FreeBSD 10.1 /etc/fstab error for swap in a KVM VM

J65nko · #1 **(View Single Post)** 15th November 2014

I just installed FreeBSD 10.1 in a KVM virtual machine under Linux Mint 17 and noticed that the configured swap was not enabled because of an device naming issue in /etc/fstab.

The error message on the console:

Code:

swapon: /dev/ada0p2: No such file or directory

A quick check showed no swap was listed:

Code:

# swapctl -l
Device:       1024-blocks     Used:

# cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/ada0p2             none    swap    sw              0       0

#  ls -l /dev/ada0p2
ls: /dev/ada0p2: No such file or directory

Checking with gpart:

Code:

#  gpart show -lp
=>      34  41942973    diskid/DISK-QM00001  GPT  (20G)
        34      1024  diskid/DISK-QM00001p1  gptboot0  (512K)
      1058   4194304  diskid/DISK-QM00001p2  swap0  (2.0G)
   4195362  37747645  diskid/DISK-QM00001p3  zfs0  (18G)

Testing to add swap with this device or diskid:

Code:

# swapctl -a /dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2
swapctl: adding /dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2 as swap device

# swapctl -l
Device:       1024-blocks     Used:
/dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2   2097152         0

After editing /etc/fstab:

Code:

# cat /etc/fstab
# Device                        Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
#/dev/ada0p2                    none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2      none            swap    sw              0       0

Disabling and enabling swap using /etc/fstab:

Code:

# swapoff -a
swapoff: removing /dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2 as swap device

# swapon -a
swapon: adding /dev/diskid/DISK-QM00001p2 as swap device

After a reboot I had swap

I configured the NIC as a vtnet0 as described in the virtio(4) man page:

Code:

# ifconfig
vtnet0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=6c03bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>

        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

I picked the default ZFS layout that the installer offered:

Code:
