#320 Embedded 11.0.0.4 witout SWAP has SWAP

Post by goguelnikov »

When trying to install embedded version of 11.0.0.4 without SWAP, SWAP is still active and installed on my mirror disk...
I need to enter the following lines to make it work :
swapoff /dev/ada0p3 (ada0 is initially in my zfs pool nammed Mirror
zpool online Mirror ada0

Hello goguelnikov, I'm unable to reproduce your issue about swap being still present/created after installing with the following Embedded options:
Option #3) Install 'Embedded' OS/GPT without SWAP/DATA (For Expert)
Option #4) Install 'Embedded' OS/MBR without SWAP/DATA (For Expert)
Note that disabling the default SWAP is NOT recommended unless you know what you are doing, however if you still having issues, you could reguister at NAS4Free Forum if you like to discuss this regarding your setup, and/or find the cause for your issue.

I tried to install with option 3 twice and I got the same result twice...
did you try with a mirrored ZFS pool installed ?
I do not need swap, I used nas4free for 5 years now without it.
Is there a way to modify the setup without have to enter postinit commands ?

reply :
Hello, tried and tested with simple ZFS mirror and raidz2, I can confirm that ZFS pools and/or UFS mountpoints has nothing to do with the NAS4Free Swapless(not recommended) Embedded installation proccess, unless swap settings overriden under "System > Advanced > Swap"/(config.xml), or explicitly placed under "/etc/fstab", please check carefully your NAS4Free configuration again, though feel free to create a thread on the NAS4Free forum with relevant information and screenshots about your issue for better support.

what do you think ? does anybody have the same problem ?
