OpenWrt Notes:


how to build a SRSS 4

mgroup from wlan0 group 239.255.255.250
mgroup from br-lan group 239.255.255.250


Quick and dirty about how to get a Sun Ray server up and running for a proof of concept. Please note that while this will get things up and running, there are many items outside of the scope of this document that need to be taken into consideration for a full production enterprise deployment.

== Proxmox ==
The first step is to have an available server to install on. You will need a Solaris 10, Redhat or SUSE server. The directions here will be for installing on Solaris 10. Next you will need to download the software.

Turn on LAN connections:
WAV file
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -L on
Sampling frequency 44.1 kHz
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c
Bit rate 8, 16, 24 bits


At this point you have a basic Sun Ray server up and running. Any Sun Rays on the network should be displaying the Solaris log in and you should be able to log into your Solaris server through a Sun Ray.
MP3 file
Sampling frequency 44.1 kHz
Bit rate 64 kbps - –320 kbps


Windows Terminal Server:
afconvert -d LEI16 -f 'WAVE' file.mp3
One of the powerful things about the Sun Ray solution is how flexible it is. One of the things the Sun Ray solutions is really good at is displaying Windows Desktops. The following steps address how to modify your existing Sun Ray server to display windows desktops.


Install Windows connector:
ffmpeg -i file.mp3 -ar 44100 file.wav


Extract the Zip:
for i in *.mp3; do baseFilename=`basename "${i}" .mp3` && afconvert -f WAVE -d LEI16@44100 "${i}" "${baseFilename}.wav"; don
#unzip srwc_2.0_solaris.zip


Install the Connector:
https://github.com/ritiek/spotify-downloader
NOTE: There is a version mismatch if you are installing on Nevada instead of Solaris 10. ONLY TAKE THE FOLLOWING 2 STEPS IF YOU are ON Nevada:

At this point you will have a kiosk mode defined and then you will need to tell the server when to use it. I personally run my demo’s with the window connector enabled for card sessions and the Solaris session displayed for non card users. This is accomplished by using the the System Policy to turn Kiosk Mode on for card users. Click on the System Policy Sub Tab on the Advanced Menu and then click on the enabled check box for Kiosk Mode under card users. Then click on the save button.

Using different Kiosk Sessions for different tokens
== Abel / Noah Projects ==
By JörgB on Jun 26, 2009
http://www.instructables.com/id/Thomas-Train-Bed/


Original Sun Ray Kiosk Mode or its predecessor CAM only allowed one Kiosk configuration that applied to all kiosk sessions on a server. Since SRSS 4.1 there is a little known feature that allows adding additional kiosk configurations and selecting one them based on the token.
== Lego ==
http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-ultimate-collector-s-millennium-falcon-set-10179
https://rebrickable.com/home
http://lego.brickinstructions.com/


Unfortunately configuring this feature currently requires using the utkiosk and utkioskoverride tools on the command line. This probably is the main reason why add-on solutions to do the same, like Daniel Cifuentes's Meta-Kiosk are still popular.
== Log Cabins ==


For those not afraid of the command line, here is a short how-to

    Create a kiosk session configuration.
http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/110712-install-fail2ban-on-64-bit-ubuntu-14-04-lts
http://www.wordpress.lonbil.co.uk/2013/08/installing-dnsmasq-on-freenas-9-1/


    You first need to create a file (named UserSession.conf here, but you can freely choose a name) containing your kiosk session configuration. Of course you can simply create it as a text file, after reading the session.conf(4) man page. But if you prefer to use the SRSS Web Admin GUI for this step, you can do it as follows:
== New Freenas Server
        Configure the session settings on the Edit Kiosk Session page
        If you are using the JDS desktop session, add the applications you want to see in the menu.
        Save your changes
        Get a root shell on one of the servers and use it to save the configuration to a file:


        # cd # Make sure your are in a reasonable directory to store your configurations
  Supermicro X9SCL-F -> http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/motherboard/Xeon/C202_C204/X9SCL-F.cfm
        # PATH=${PATH}:/opt/SUNWut/sbin    # Save yourself (and me) some typing
Intel Xeon E3-1240 3.30GHz 8M Socket LGA1155 SR00K Quad Core CPU
        # utkiosk -e session -s > UserSession.conf
DDR3-10600, PC3-1333MHz CL9 240pin ECC unbuffered -> http://www.mrmemory.co.uk/all-products/8gb-240-pin-ddr3-pc3-10600-1333mhz-ecc-unbuffered


        If you have configured applications, also save the application list to a file:
== VMware ==


        # utkiosk -e session -a > UserSessionApps.list
http://ipxe.org/howto/vmware


    Store your kiosk session configuration in the Sun Ray data store.
== Linux ==

https://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2011/12/migrating-an-ubuntu-installation-from-bios-to-uefi/


    You now need to store your configuration in SRDS, so it can be used for Sun Ray kiosk sessions. You can store each configuration under a name you choose. This example will use UserSession. Use a name that starts with a capital letter - all-lowercase names are reserved.

    If you don't need an application list, you can simply upload your UserSession.conf file like this:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-puppet-to-manage-your-server-infrastructure#install-puppet-agent
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-foreman-to-manage-puppet-nodes-on-ubuntu-14-04


    # utkiosk -i UserSession -f UserSession.conf

http://www.potato-people.com/code/zoneminder/zm_arc2video.phps


    If you did create an application list, the command looks like this:
== VPN ==


    # utkiosk -i UserSession -f UserSession.conf -A UserSessionApps.list
https://www.vpnvip.com/setup-l2tp-vpn-in-windows-7.html
https://torguard.net/blog/how-to-configure-vpn-ubuntu/


    Configure individual tokens to use this kiosk session configuration.
== Schools ==


    You now need to assign this configuration to selected tokens. I'll show this here for the imaginary CleverCard.0123456789 card token. You can assign kiosk setting to selected DTUs (when used without a smart card) in the same way.
http://locrating.com/
        In order to apply special kiosk setting to the token, it needs to be registered (even if you don't use a "registered" access policy). If the token isn't registered yet, you can do this now without leaving the command line:


        # utuser -a "CleverCard.0123456789,localhost,0,John Doe,"
== Freenas Stuff ==


        Now you can assign the UserSession configuration to the token:
=== Freenas 10 ===
https://github.com/freenas/vm-templates


        # utkioskoverride -r CleverCard.0123456789 -s kiosk -c UserSession

Point and Shoot VDI
=== Workaround for [[https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4987][Bug #4987]] ===
By bhlackey on Mar 16, 2008


Certainly the most feature rich method to deliver VDI is through the use of a "broker" like the Sun Virtual Desktop Connector. This broker is then connected to VMWare Virtual Center and the combination of the two gives the environment all sorts of features like Pooling, VM Lifecycle management, one-to-one mapping, Dynamic Resource Scheduling, and VMotion.
add 149.255.37.14  cdn.freenas.org in /etc/hosts
mount -uw /
add to /base/conf/etc/hosts (otherwise it'll disappear on reboot


Not all VDI environments need to have all of these features. Maybe the VM's aren't even hosted in VMWare, or maybe they're not even VM's at all as in the case with blade based PC's. Maybe there is no need for Pooling, just a one-to-one relationship. No need to manage the VM's they're already provisioned through another process.
=== VirtualBox in FreeNAS (now included in 9.2.1.6)


I like to call this the "Point and Shoot" VDI architecture. It should be dead simple and easy to set up. It doesn't matter where the OS images are, just that they exist on the network and that we are going to assign one VM to one user. Here are the steps to do Point and Shoot VDI using Sun Rays.

I had good luck with ZFS recovery with the following approach:


    Place the VMs DNS name in the Location Field.
1) Use zdb to identify a TXG for which the data structures are intact


2) Select recovery mode by loading the ZFS KLD with "vfs.zfs.recover=1"
  set in /boot/loader.conf

Meta Kiosk: How to run multiple different types of kiosk modes on a Sun Ray Server/FOG
The zdb commands to use are:
By vdiozguy on Feb 06, 2009


"One Kiosk to Rule Them All"...
# zdb -AAA -L -t <TXG> -bcdmu <POOL>


One of the coolest features of the Sun Ray platform is "Kiosk Mode". Sadly, it typically only gets associated with running a "Library" type locked down session with a web browser, or when a Windows deployment takes advantage of it to deliver Windows based sessions, be it from Terminal Services or VDI.
(Both -AAA and -L reduce the amount of consistency checking performed.
A pool (at TXG) that needs these options to allow zdb to succeed is
damaged, but may still allow recovery of most or all files. Be sure
to only import that pool R/O, or your data will probably be lost!)


It is very common in demo environments and even in many production environments to have the need of presenting multiple different types of Kiosks served from the same infrastructure, which can be easily achieved by associating the token presented to the Sun Ray to the particular context required for the token. For example, you may want a number of users to get a session from a Windows Terminal Server, some others to get a Linux desktop, some users to leverage a VDI desktop, some Sun Rays in public areas to present a controlled desktop with a web browser for leasurely access and a Sun Ray in the foyer permanently running a presentation to a large LCD display. And of course, the administrator may want access to his Windows Vista desktop on a casual basis without having to rely on the Sun VDI broker. All of this from the Sun Ray Server or FOG.
A list of TXGs to try can be retrieved with "zdb -hh <POOL>".


In my experience, it has been mighty useful to have a fixed framework I can use at PoCs and demos for a variety of things. The piece of work presented here is an aggregation of some of the work that grew from a requirement at a large PoC in South Australia when Sun VDi wasn't around and also from the current demo environment shown to customers at the Sydney Sun Solution Centre.  There is a WOW factor that still grips the imagination of most people when they see the Sun Ray platform in full action. I mean, who's ever seen a handful of different desktops presented on the same screen in less than 10 seconds???
You may need to add "-e" to the list of zdb options, since the port is
exported / not currently mounted).


The purpose of this "Meta Kiosk" (or Kiosk Broker) is to provide multiple kiosk capabilities to the Sun Ray platform, which is typically constrained by the use of a single kiosk mode across the board. One day, Engineering may give me a pull down in the Token Administration GUI for me to choose what the token is supposed to do, but for now, this is the next best thing.
== Useful Links ==


So, how does this "Meta Kiosk" come together? Meta Kiosk leverages the "Other Info" field of any token (a smartcard ora  pseudo token of a Sun Ray) by letting you specify a string to identify what type of session that token is entitled to, for example UTTSC, JDSKIOSK, VDA, VDANOCARD, VNC, etc. Additionally, you can specify a default kiosk mode for non-registered tokens, by changing  the UNREG_TOKEN_ACTION variable in the script. After the script decides what Kiosk the token is entitled to, it actually instantiates that particular kiosk mode, as if it had been called naturally by the Sun Ray kiosk framework. Should the first string in the "Other Info" field not be recognised, the action indicated by the variable DEFAULT_ACTION will be undertaken (which can also modify. DEFAULT_ACTION for registered tokens in the script is to use VDA, which is convenient as the VDA script also makes use of this field as the placeholder for the poolname the token owner is entitled to from the available SOE pools.

https://bitnami.com/stacks
http://www.cv-library.co.uk/


The only caveat to this is that typically, the arguments passed to the kiosk session are defined in the Sun Ray Admin GUI setup for the system-wide kiosk mode you choose, but since Meta Kiosk calls upon a large number of kiosks itself, this is no longer useful. To work around this, the script assumes that the parameteres you want for a specific kiosk mode are actually contained in the relevant "kiosk.conf file for that particular kiosk, typically found in /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions. For example, if I wanted to enable Full Screen to all the uttsc kiosk sessions, I would simply edit /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc.conf and type something like KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS="-t 1800 -- -m mywindowsterminalserver".

What options can I enter in the "Other Info" field of a Sun Ray token?
http://nalle.wordpress.com/using-gmail-as-a-spam-filter/
Below are the different options available "out of the box" with the present release of Meta Kiosk, along with some of the features, that you can specify in the "Other Info" field of your tokens - and don't forget you can add any of your own easily by editing the script at /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/meta-kiosk/meta-kiosk-session (and if you do and you consider it useful, please share it with me!):


JDSKIOSK: for the traditional Solaris based locked down Sun Ray kiosk mode
search MediaWiki:Sidebar
"Other Info" field specs: JDSKIOSK


UTTSC: to make a call upon a specified Windows (or RDP capable) system, whether it is a physical PC, a VM, a WTS or a session directory server or the console of a VirtualBox VM with VRDP...
http://paulgu.com/wiki/How_do_I_allow_only_authorized_users_to_edit_pages
"Other Info" field specs: UTTSC [username [target system]]
UTTSC can leverage the main system name passed in the uttsc.conf file, presented as the last field of KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS. If username is present, then this name will appear in the login box (where possible). If "target system" is specified this field will be stripped from the uttsc.conf definition and replaced by that found at "Other Info". Note that when you configure the uttsc kiosk mode, it is expected that you enter a system name at the end of the string. As such, Meta Kiosk expects this too.


VDA: In case you need or want to register it. Note that the script will treat this as the default mode for any \*registered\* token anyway.
http://www.nettiesexpressions.com/2012/06/02/walk-a-little-slower-daddy-free-printable/
"Other Info" field specs: VDA
the VDA kiosk script will later re-read and interpret this field as a pool name, so typing  any parameters would be useless! If this is used with VDA, then a default pool called VDA can be setup, unless you have already assigned the username a permanent virtual machine.


VDANOCARD: In case you need or want to register an existing token or  pseudo-token to use Dirk Grobler's "Non Card VDI for Sun Ray".
http://www.iflicksapp.com
"Other Info" field specs: VDANOCARD


VDM: In case you want to use VMware's broker in your environment separately. You will need to download the Sun Ray connector for VMware Virtual Desktop Manager and install it (guess what - it's a kiosk mode too!)
Dataguard -> http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/data-guard-setup-11gr2.php#standby_server_setup_man
"Other Info" field specs: VDM


The next options are not not defined typically as kiosks. Their code is contained within the Meta Kiosk script itself:
http://confoundedtech.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/logitech-squeezebox-touch-ubuntu-1204.html


VNC: Experimental at this point, useful mostly for MACs (not that you couldn't use with Solaris/Linux or even Windows), by way of leveraging  a VNC server or similar (the builtin ARD server does NOT work with standard VMC clients)
http://www.seatweavingsupplies.co.uk/other%20seating%20cords%20price%20list.htm
"Other Info" field specs: VNC [system-name [password]]
Both parameters are optional, although you can't specify password if you don't  specify a system name. Password will get written to a file and then the argument  passed through, and although this is not dramatically secure, it allows for a  quick demo of a MAC on a Sun Ray. A good VNC server to use is Vine. You may need to pass the port to the VNC service on the server as part of the system name, e.g. mymac:5901 


APPLICATION: Let's you run a specified Solaris app, but take heed, there will be no Window manager for it. Otherwise, simply use JDSKIOSK and specify the app there.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3474831104/nm0648164
"Other Info" field specs: APPLICATION command-name <parameters>
For example, you could run a full screen presentation on a dedicated Sun Ray like this, like we do at the foyer of the Sydney Sun Solution Centre:
APPLICATION /usr/bin/staroffice -invisible - nologo -show /presentations/sunray-presso.od


UTSWITCH: Need a token to get redirected without AMHG? This is it!
  * shower stuff -> http://www.showerdoc.co.uk/forum/phpBB3/
"Other Info" field specs: UTSWITCH sunray-server-hostname
  * extending wireless network -> http://www.unix.ms/netgear/
Beware that the Sun Ray will remain attached to that other Sun Ray server when you pull the smartcard or disconnect the session, so it's important to remember to STOP-A the Sun Ray at the end of the session.
  * veggie box recipes -> http://www.vegbox-recipes.co.uk


X11: An Xsession. This will run Xnest within the Sun Ray X session canvas.
Chilli oil recipe -> http://www.thechilliking.com/chilli-oil-recipe/
"Other Info" field specs: X11 servername [geometry]
NOTE: On your Sun Ray server, you may have to execute this: chmod 04755 /usr/openwin/bin/Xnest ulness Xephyr is available.


XTERM: An X term (xterm) on the Sun Ray server. Good for testing!

[[Setting up iscsi on MacOSX]]


    If you want to assign a kiosk mode to a Sun Ray without using  a smartcard, simply register the pseudo token of the Sun Ray through the Web Admin GUI. The token is always "pseudo.<MAC address>" of the Sun Ray you need. This is often done under VDA to present the same Windows VM to the same person at the same desk all the time (much like ... your PC.)

Windows connector and Grub-like menu for Sun Rays
[[Installating HandBrakeCLI on Ubuntu]]


I recently investigated setting up Sun Rays using kiosk mode using the Windows Sun Ray connector. Using the connector from Solaris is pretty easy as the client program utssc is basically an RDP client.  Actually, rdesktop could also be used from Solaris in the same way.  However, I had to set up kiosk mode so the Sun Ray would go directly to a Windows server.  I followed the docs on setting up kiosk mode (utconfig -k, it kept failing until I ran it under truss then it succeeded…).  Most of the docs talk about using a GUI, which I do not use and setting up kiosk for smart cards or non smart card users, etc.  What I need to do was set up one specific Sun Ray to use kiosk mode, which was a little harder to find.  To do that I ran the following:
Ubuntu 11.10 webserver - choose OpenSSH + LAMP and then install webalizer + awstats + phpmyadmin


/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utkioskoverride -s kiosk -r pseudo.TOKEN -c uttsc
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.10-ispconfig-3-p6


Where TOKEN is the mac address for the specific Sun Ray.  I also had to run ‘utkiosk -i uttsc -f uttsc.conf’  In uttsc.conf I had to add KIOSK_SESSION=uttsc and of course change KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS to set the Windows server to connect to.  This took me a little while to get used to, but it worked well.  I found this web site useful.
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-media-server-ubuntu-11.10-sabnzbd-sickbeard-couch-potato-headphones-serviio-p3


Then I was tasked to come up with a grub-like menu so users could select Solaris (or Linux) or Windows. This was a bit more work. Most of the solutions seem to talk about using the GUI and having the Sun Ray admin put things in to change what the Sun Ray does for different tokens.  I ended up taking ideas from two implementations to come up with a solution that provides a grub-like menu for Sun Rays.
http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/10/30/best-applications-and-tweaks-for-ubuntu-11-10/


One site that is recommended is http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/entry/meta_kiosk_how_to_run on “Meta Kiosk”  which I looked at and it gave me the idea of using Xephyr.  I also found http://blogs.sun.com/mplona/entry/customized_sun_ray_kiosk_sessions which gave me the idea of using zenity and gave some code to follow (I looked at menu2).  Neither solution did what I wanted so I wrote my own kiosk session script.  My proof-of-concept so far is much smaller than those solutions, but seems to work for me.  Here is my script:
Creating audio from mkv:


#!/bin/sh
First we need to create a WAV with mplayer.
# install this as /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/menu/menu


# Add a line to set the background image, then display the menu
mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav video.mkv
choice=`/usr/bin/zenity  --width=200 --height=200 --list --column  "Select  Operating System" "Solaris" "Windows"`


case "${choice}" in
If you find that mplayer is taking its sweet time in outputting the WAV you may have to append the fast option like so:
    "Solaris")
    # This part was inspired by meta-kiosk-session's run-X11-session
    # set servername of course
    display=0
    while [ $display -ne 256 ]
    do
      display=`expr $display + 1`
      /usr/X11/bin/Xephyr :${display} -once -query ${servername} -fullscreen
      if [ $? -ne 1 ]
      then
        exit
      fi
    done
    ;;
    "Windows")
    # Need KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS set correctly for server to connect to
    . /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc/uttsc
    exit
    ;;
esac


This can be used to connect to any Solaris or Linux system that would accept the X11 connection. So instead of listing Operating systems maybe you would want to list several hosts for example.
mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav,fast video.mkv


I called this the menu config and then changed the Sun Ray from using uttsc to menu with  utkioskoverride.  The script goes in  /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/menu/ and the following goes in /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/menu.conf
Then we create an MP3 from the WAV.


KIOSK_SESSION=menu
lame -h -b128 output.wav output.mp3


KIOSK_SESSION_LIMIT_VMSIZE=2000000
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutofsLDAP


KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS=-t 1800 -- -r sound:low SERVERNAME
https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html
 
KIOSK_SESSION_EXEC=$KIOSK_SESSION_DIR/menu
 
I also loaded that file with ‘utkiosk -i menu -f menu.conf’.  And it works.  It presents a little menu where you can select and then what is put in the case statement runs.  I then specified some other Sun Rays to run in kiosk mode using this session config and they are being tested.  One bug found so far is that sound doesn’t work.  Also, USB devices do not really work using this approach.  For example, plugging in a USB key drive the drive gets mounted by the random untrusted kiosk user and the user that logs on through Xephyr doesn’t have permission to it (maybe a work around exists for that?).  But if those things are not important and you and have the need for a grub-like menu to select the OS on a Sun Ray it seems to do the job.
 
I tested this on a Sun Ray server runing SXCE b111 with version 4.1 of the SunRay server software and version 2.1 of the windows connector (SRWC).

There is a bug in the latest SVN source as you end up with an error like this:
 
gcc -MD -MP -Wundef -Wall -Wno-switch -Wno-parentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign  -Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99 -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -O4 -march=native -mtune=native -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-tree-vectorize  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -Ilibdvdread4 -I. -Iffmpeg  -I/usr/X11/include  -I/usr/include/freetype2  -c -o libao2/ao_sun.o libao2/ao_sun.c
libao2/ao_sun.c: In function 'realtime_samplecounter_available':
libao2/ao_sun.c:161:35: error: 'MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed' undeclared (first use in this function)
libao2/ao_sun.c:161:35: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
gmake: *** [libao2/ao_sun.o] Error 1
 
Essentially MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed hasn't been defined...... so let's find in out of an older release and add the following to help_mp.h:
 
#define MSGTR_AO_SUN_RtscWriteFailed "[AO SUN] rtsc: write failed.\n"
 
Mplayer doesn't like the default video out mode (I suspect due to my Nvidia card) but seems to work ok for -vo gl2. I've therefore added the following to my .mplayer/config:
 
hippy@monkey:~$ more .mplayer/config
# Write your default config options here!
vo=gl2

Getting crashplan to work on freeness

Enabled TCP Forwarding in SSH settings in FreeNAS
Enabled Forwarding in the sshd_config file in the jail
Enabled Root Login in the jail
Created a crashplan user inside the jail and added them to "wheel"
Restarted SEVERAL TIMES, finally getting all java working and expected results in sockstat -4, and netstat.
Created SSH Tunnel from port 4200 to 10.10.1.87:4243 (the jail IP) using Putty, then connected Putty to 10.10.1.87 (jail IP, not the freenas box IP)
Modified ui.properties file inside Crashplan conf folder so that servicePort=4200 and was uncommented(no # in front of it).
killed all crashplan processes and services, restarted the service (on my PC with the UI) and then restarted the desktop app.

I had good luck with ZFS recovery with the following approach:

1) Use zdb to identify a TXG for which the data structures are intact

2) Select recovery mode by loading the ZFS KLD with "vfs.zfs.recover=1" 

  set in /boot/loader.conf

3) Import the pool with the above -T option referring to a suitable TXG 

  found with the help zdb.

The zdb commands to use are:

  1. zdb -AAA -L -t <TXG> -bcdmu <POOL>

(Both -AAA and -L reduce the amount of consistency checking performed. A pool (at TXG) that needs these options to allow zdb to succeed is damaged, but may still allow recovery of most or all files. Be sure to only import that pool R/O, or your data will probably be lost!)

A list of TXGs to try can be retrieved with "zdb -hh <POOL>".

You may need to add "-e" to the list of zdb options, since the port is exported / not currently mounted).

Creating audio from mkv:

First we need to create a WAV with mplayer.

mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav video.mkv

If you find that mplayer is taking its sweet time in outputting the WAV you may have to append the fast option like so:

mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=output.wav,fast video.mkv

Then we create an MP3 from the WAV.

lame -h -b128 output.wav output.mp3
