"Since when are you an Avenger?!"

‘Since I impressed them with my awesome goblin boarding skills.” Finn bragged. “I think it was that, or my many attacks on Stark got annoying so this might be a ploy to monitor me more closely...”

Rpool drabble

 Deadpool had barely registered the girl sleeping beside him, her body inches away from his. Had she not moved to brush the dust off the side of her face he wouldn’t have noticed her. Wade pulled the blanket over her ear, trying his hardest not to wake her up.

  It had been almost a year since the Merc had saved six year old Finn from her abusive father. The google wearing child had broke in and had never left, not that Deadpool would have wanted her too anyway. Looking past her obsession with knives, stabbing things, and zoo animals, He’d begun to fall in love with the child; even if she did have a crazy cat.

  As the suited man stared at her from his side of the bed he smiled under his mask. While he objected to her being in his bed, Wade liked it when Finn was asleep; She couldn’t stab him, she wasn’t likely to kill him, and she didn’t hog the blankets. As another flurry of plaster came down Finn opened her eyes slowly and fought back a yawn.

“Neighbors?” Deadpool lifted his arm so she could get closer.  The Merc with the Mouth waited as she scooted against him. He thought about removing his mask but decided against it,  he had a job first thing in the morning and wouldn’t have the time to figure out where the cat had hidden it.

“They’re so loud….” Finn whimpered, rubbing her eye. Another puff of plaster fell from the ceiling, this time landing in her red hair. She shook her head sending pieces in different directions. The child wrapped her arms around the others chest. “And the sky keeps falling…”

“Then let’s be louder.” Deadpool grabbed the revolver on his nightstand. “Cover your ears, kid.” He waited for her to do so before aiming the gun at the ceiling, and firing two bullets. The apartment fell silent as the duo looked up at the newly formed hole.  

  "Did you just….“ Finn started as she put her hands down. Sure she had wanted them to quiet down, but she didn’t want them dead! ‘Would they be charged for murder? Would they go to prison with Will? Would Bandanna go to Cat Jail? ’  Her green eyes began to water as she feared the worse.

"Probably.” He put the revolver back on the nightstand before glancing back at the child, who was staring at him with a shocked expression on her face. “ I don’t have X-ray vision Finn, I can’t see through floors!”

The sounds of screams and a door slamming above them calmed Finn’s nerves. She snuggled back under the blankets, grinning at her guardian. Though Deadpool lacked in hygiene, was extremely dangerous, and confused her to no end; he made life more fun.

“Hey, Dad?” Finn asked after a few silent moments.

“Yeah Finn?” Deadpool turned his head to face her. He had a feeling he knew what she was going to say, 3 little words he loved to hear. Whether it was the actual 3 words or some variation he enjoyed hearing her say it, it made him feel special.

“I’m sorry for the knife.”

“I love you t-! The knife?” He looked at her confused, what was she talking about? Why was she apologizing for a knife? Deadpool suddenly became aware of a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down he realized there was a knife penetrating through his suit covered chest. Blood seeped through the wound and onto his bed. Pushing her away he screamed, “OH MY- FINN!”

Wade pulled the knife out. It was a jagged 4 inch blade, Finns favorite kind, and coated in a warm layer of his blood. She, for whatever reason, had stabbed him while he was asleep and chose to remain in the bed with him.  Deadpool let out a long chain of curses and profane expressions as the stab healed itself. When it was healed he looked up and saw Finn still lying there, a neutral expression on her face.

“Finn.” He locked eyes with her.

“Yes?”

“Get the Fuck out my bed.”

“A'ight.” Finn got off the bed and walked to the door. “Dad.”

“The Hell do you want?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too kid, but you’re still kicked off the bed.”

“I take it back then.” Finn walked out the room, allowing the cat entry when she opened the door.

“YOU STABBED ME IN THE CHEST AND EXPECT ME TO LET YOU STAY IN HERE?” Deadpool watched as the cat jumped on his bed, taking its normal spot on the pillow beside him.

“Goodnight~” Finns door closed as she walked in her room.

Deadpool listened as she got back into her own bed. Then with a smile, he set the knife on his nightstand and rolled over. He came face-to-face with the cat. “At least I still have you…”

The old Tabby hissed, slapping Deadpool’s nose with a small paw. The man, sensing a scratching in his future, pushed the cat and its pillow to the far side of the bed.  This action exposed a small picture that had been hidden by the cat. It was of Finn and Will, but with the latter cut out. Wade hadn’t seen it since he use it to locate Will last year, after he ripped the man out the picture. The cat, who enjoyed hiding things around the apartment, had shoved it in the pillowcase.

Deadpool flipped the photograph over expecting some sort of explanation, but found none. He turned it back around and stared down at it. Finn was holding a 'Best Dad Ever’ card he assumed had been for Will. Now it looked like she was holding it out to Wade who smiled, at the girl in the photo. He slid the picture under his pillow and lied back down. “At least I have you…” @theamazing-deadpoolio

Upgrading an OpenIndiana 151 rpool to a larger drive.

I've been running out of space on my rpool for a LOONG time.  It's all been running on a 16GB drive I had lying around when I started...which was fine for 2-3 years, but now means that image-updates don't happen (even after promoting boot environments!).

So this morning, without thinking, I accidentally image-updated a zone without first updating the global zone because, of course, no space = no global zone update.

So today was the time to fix that.

I found a 160GB SSD lying around this time, so that's going in as root.

First was to shut down the system and all zones and add the 160GB drive onto the SAS controller - this was actually a mistake, as I wanted it to boot from the native controller on the motherboard, but that's not a big concern in my case (as this is a home file/zone server).  

This is something to remember when you plan your pool upgrade though.

Next, once the system came back up, I had to figure out the drive's name - that's simple with format:

$ format < /dev/null Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: ... 7. c16t50015179591E5BFEd0 <ATA-INTEL SSDSA2M160-02HD-149.05GB> /scsi_vhci/disk@g50015179591e5bfe ... 9. c26t1d0 <ATA-TS16GSSD25S-S-216 cyl 2490 alt 2 hd 224 sec 56> /pci@0,0/pci1458,b005@1f,2/disk@1,0 Specify disk (enter its number):

$ 

Number 7 is the drive I added.  Number 9 is the drive I'll be replacing.

I can't attach it to the rpool as a mirror without matching drive label and geometry, so it's time to do that.

A dd clears the first 8kB:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0 count=16

Then, fdisk sets up the drive as "100% Solaris":

$ fdisk /dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0 No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is:

a 100% "SOLARIS System" partition

Type "y" to accept the default partition, otherwise type "n" to edit the partition table. y

$

Then, really just to be safe more than anything, label the disk:

$ format -e c16t50015179591E5BFEd0 selecting c16t50015179591E5BFEd0 [disk formatted]

format> label [0] SMI Label [1] EFI Label Specify Label type[0]: 0 Ready to label disk, continue? y

$

At this point, the drive needs to be set up to match the partition map of the previous disk.  prtvtoc | fmthard can do this, but since the new drive is larger, fmthard will warn (and rightly so) that partition 2 specifies the full disk and is not equal to the full size of the disk.

When I did that, I had unallocated space.  I did not want that in the final configuration, so I did this instead.

This is the prtvtoc of the disk after I did the prtvtoc|fmthard that many HOWTO's recommend (and mentioned didn't seem to work).  Note that we're printing s0 of the device and note the last sector:

$ prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0s0 * /dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0s0 partition map * * Dimensions: * 512 bytes/sector * 56 sectors/track * 224 tracks/cylinder * 12544 sectors/cylinder * 24917 cylinders * 24915 accessible cylinders * * Flags: * 1: unmountable * 10: read-only * * Unallocated space: * First Sector Last * Sector Count Sector * 0 12544 12543 * 31247104 281286656 312533759 * * First Sector Last * Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory 0 2 00 12544 31222016 31234559 2 5 01 0 31234560 31234559 8 1 01 0 12544 12543

That will need to be the last sector of the new configuration, so let's do quick maths (saved in ~/new_root_config ):

* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory 0 2 00 12544 312521216 312533759 2 5 01 0 312533760 312533759 8 1 01 0 12544 12543

Then, use fmthard to write the new partition table:

$ fmthard -s new_root_partition /dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0s0 fmthard:  New volume table of contents now in place. $ 

And, to attach to the root pool:

$ zpool attach -f rpool c26t1d0s0 c16t50015179591E5BFEd0s0

Make sure to wait until resilver is done before rebooting. $ 

Now watch zpool status until the resilver is done and install grub:

$ installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c16t50015179591E5BFEd0s0

stage2 written to partition 0, 277 sectors starting at 50 (abs 12594) stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 12544) $ 

Sync, poweroff and remove the old drive.

On boot, make sure that the new drive is in the boot list and you should get to (and past) grub.  Remember from earlier: don't move the drive!

On this first boot from the new drive, the rpool will not be happy.  Help it to forget it's other half with a quick detach:

$ zpool detach rpool c26t1d0s0

After one more reboot, the rpool shows the right size!:

$ zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT rpool 149G 13.5G 135G - 9% 1.00x ONLINE -

Following this, the image-update was successful and now I can also upgrade my zpools!  WIN!
