Running Crashplan in an LX zone headless with UI on Mac OS X

History

Originally I installed Crashplan 3.7 in an LX zone. The data to be backed up was from my home NAS (a fileserver zone with netatalk and samba running) that was lofs mounted into the crashplan zone. Eventually I moved the data for the NAS into the globalzone and mounted it into both the "fileserver" zone and crashplan zone using lofs. This eliminated problems with boot order of the zones. I recently updated Crashplan from 3.7 to 4.3. I followed the Linux instructions on the Crashplan website---seemingly without issue.

Environment

  • platform: joyent_20150813T164025Z
  • lx image UUID: c8d68a9e-4682-11e5-9450-4f4fadd0936d (Ubuntu 14.04)
  • lofs mount into lx zone using of data to be backup (using the ro option just in case something goes haywire with Crashplan):
