    Minimizing open ports

    For mysql you can also use this: mysql_args="--skip-networking" It'll only create a UNIX domain socket in /tmp with the above.

    First Look: FreeBSD 9.0 On Intel Sandy Bridge

    Different hardware? Where? The textual differences in the hardware table are most likely artifacts of their benchmark collecting hardware information from completely different kernels.

    Socks proxy

    You could ask the same question on a Linux forum and the suggestions would probably work the same on FreeBSD. 3rd party software isn't really specific or unique on FreeBSD, and there's far too much of it for the FreeBSD community to know all of it in as much depth as you're asking. With that...

    nanobsd g_vfs_write md1 error, /var memory exhaust

    I've filled my /var occasionally, but I've never run into those kernel errors you're seeing. On NanoBSD, /var should be a malloc backed md device. Can't imagine how filesystem errors could occur there...

    SD card automount

    Sadly, devd doesn't handle these cases for some reason. What you need to do is poll the device with camcontrol, issuing a Test Unit Ready (tur) command to see the media state of the device. You can take a look at volman if you want to see how I handle it there.

    Why doesn't evilvte work?

    This problem seems to be VTE related, but latest evilvte versions work around it. I've just submitted a port update @ ports/163071. The bug was discussed here.

    I use geli with a vnode backed md device.

    network switches - which one do u guys prefer

    I've always gone for 3Com in most cases (now HP) as they seem to offer the best functionality and reliability for what you pay. If a project has deep pockets, I'd probably choose Extreme.

    Which laptop

    Dell is my favourite. You're probably asking with FreeBSD support in mind, in which case I highly recommend creating a bootable USB stick to test in whatever you choose, before you buy it.

    pf not reading proper IP address

    Create a /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks or /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script that updates PF's rules when the IP address is renewed. See dhclient-script.

    First Look: FreeBSD 9.0 On Intel Sandy Bridge

    I don't understand how benchmarking an operating system in a state that it would never normally be used is of any relevance. Why do we care how operating systems perform in single user mode?

    After S3 resume, USB mouse doesn't always work

    man cmd unknown to you too? ;) Try this: usbconfig -d ugen3.2 reset Or perhaps: usbconfig -u 3 -a 2 power_off usbconfig -d ugen3.2 power_on

    Why we use vBulletin?

    No no, that statement is an indication of some people's inability to embrace and understand open source for what it is. It's not a top down system of foundations calling the shots and funding/motivating/enslaving others to do their bidding. It's upto ordinary people to see what they want...

    volman: an experimental FreeBSD volume manager

    Correct. Volman doesn't consider what bus storage devices are attached to, so even hotplug SATA disks should get picked up by it. The only reason your fixed disks don't appear in its volume listing is because there's also no attachment event for them.

    volman: an experimental FreeBSD volume manager

    Added to my todo list. :) I need to nitpick and say that no auto mounting is taking place. It's all manual. The only difference is that it's abstracted away into a highly simplified command. But I agree there might be room for loss of security. I don't know if I will implement...

    label of removable media

    Do you have GEOM's label module enabled? Does your USB stick's label appear in the output of: glabel status

    say goodbye to /bin, /usr/local/* , ...

    I wonder how long until everything is in /etc? Linux root filesystem in 2015: /Moviez /Gamez /pr0n /etc :p

    Redirect outbound IP traffic

    Use natd's -redirect_address parameter. All the options are documented in natd.
