EFA Hyper-V 3.0 (Windows 2012/8)

Post by Rickk »

Good afternoon community!
After searching the internet for a good and free anti-spam appliance I ended up here :)
When I convert the VMDK files to VHD I cannot use them to boot up a virtual machine, always says invalid boot media.
I noticed there WAS a Hyper-V image for EFA 0.2, but I cannot locate it for EFA 0.3
Can you please provide it? :)

Thanks!

There were some problems with the NIC assignment in the Hyper-V 0.2 version.

Next week I will try to fix these issues and then create a new Hyper-V image.
so stay tuned.

Hi Rickk,

I decided to skip to a 0.4 version :)

Debian 6.x with hyper-v gave some issues so I moved to debian 7.0.

I already have an working RC release which has a few minor issues, will try to fix these somewhere in the next week (but it is finally summer here so might take a little longer as I spend more time outside when I am not at work.. (the beach, chilling etc... :mrgreen: )).

Any chance to join your testing? :)
I migrated to Hyper-V 2012 R2 in the meantime, manually setup Debian 6.x with EFA 0.3, which is working like a charm so far ;) (after some minor troubleshooting)

That is possible,

Hyper-V image can be dlded at: http://dl.efa-project.org/EFA-04-RC-HYPERV.zip

known bugs:
- after initial config the system will not always reboot, forced shutdown is necessary.
- geoip cron update fails.

Thanks, running it now. I notice there's greylisting in EFA-Configure, does it apply to all except whitelisted mails or is it "intelligent"?

If you are already running the 0.4RC version here a small fix for the GeoIP DB that was not updated correctly:

Login as root on the EFA 0.4 RC machine and then copy/past the following:

Code: Select all

#fixgeoip cron
# 0.4 rc fix geoip cron issue..
cd /etc/cron.daily
wget http://www.efa-project.org/build/0.4/etc/cron.daily/EFA-Daily-cron
chmod 700 EFA-Daily-cron
cd /usr/local/sbin
wget http://www.efa-project.org/build/0.4/usr/local/sbin/EFA-GeoIP-Update
chmod 700 EFA-GeoIP-Update

sed -i '/geoip/d' /etc/cron.daily/baruwa
