Good morning all,
I have an old 2009 Mac Pro that I use for a home server. It boots El Capitan from a USB stick and the four internal drives are configured into a RAIDz.
On the RAIDz I have some VirtualBox virtual machines, and everything works great when the Mac is up and running. One of the VMs I run I use as a server providing various other services, and this should start during boot (via launchd as described in the VirtualBox manual). However, because the ZFS volumes don’t seem to be discovered until a user logs in the VM does not start when the Mac Pro is rebooted.
Auto-login is already being used for a separate user (for iTunes Home Sharing), and I’m pretty sure I can’t have multiple users auto-login…?
Is there a way, perhaps as part of the launchd service that starts my VM, to discover and mount ZFS volumes during boot?
Many thanks,
Ben
