Right. Perhaps the first caveat is that I trimmed down the installation
(without DE etc and only leaving standard utilites) by purging as much
as I thought sensible.
Other than that, I made vdev installation as per README, then:
a) changed /etc/vdev/vdevd.conf to in particular have
logfile=/run/vdev/vdev.log
(the /var directory is ro when it starts)
b) add missing /etc/vdev/acl directory, and copied in the file
00-whitelist-root.acl from the example directory
(the acl directory was missing and it just looked like a good idea
to include that file; not sure why)
c) [also for testing] fixed the paths in example/vdevd.conf for acls,
actions, ifnames and hwdb, which pointed wrong. The hwdb in particular
needs to be right for making the initramfs.
I believe that's all. I'm planning to retry this on a DE installation
shortly.
regards,
Ralph.
