I think the "no longer recommended" claim really just amounts to Michael W. Lewis's advice/editorial in FreeBSD Mastery: Storage Essentials. I cannot help but wonder if he has since changed his recommendation, given that at the time he wrote the book, I also thought SU+J was the best choice...

Also, I've noticed a trend with SU+J in the case where the filesystem uses the journal correctly, it marks the file system as clean, but all too often when followed with a forced non-journaled fsck also in single user mode, it finds many filesystem errors. It should not mark the filesystem as...

I used to be a big fan of SU+J, but after running into a lot of problems with it at home and at work, I would strongly recommend sticking with gjournal or ZFS for large filesystems. The journal in SU+J I believe only covers filesystem metadata, as wblock@ noted. In practice, it almost never...

I think that SDL joystick support is broken for version 1.2.15 of devel/sdl12 on 9.0-RELEASE, on two of my computers. I was unable to use any joystick in any SDL applications on both of my 9.0-RELEASE boxes, so I tried reverting to the cvs revision of 2012-01-15 of the port, and all of my SDL...

Wow, I didn't even know that FreeBSD supported PS3 controllers. :) I'll test it with my PS3 controller tonight. Does it work properly with regular SDL games like emulators/zsnes or something else SDL based? Also, presuming that it does work, you will need to adjust the profile to add the...

I'd recommend using awk for this purpose. You can use it as a more powerful sed by issuing a command such as: diff -u files ... | awk '{gsub("^--- ", "Index: Name of file\n=====\n--- "); print $0}' In this case I am searching for "--- " line in diff output, then replacing it with "Index: Name...

Cool, well if you try it out and run into problems, don't hesitate to contact me.

I can confirm that PS3MediaServer definitely works on FreeBSD, as I've used it in the past. Just download pms-generic-linux-unix-X.Y.Z.tgz, and run PMS.sh to execute it. I haven't used it recently, though. I use net/ushare now, since I no longer need transcoding, which uses tons of CPU and...

Hi everyone, Last July, I wrote a program called Joytran, which translates joystick events to keyboard and mouse events. It has been available in the ports tree (emulators/joytran) since 2011 October, but it occurred to me that my target audience of *BSD users (specifically FreeBSD) are likely...

I suspect that it may be a firewall/port or dns issue, I looked at the source code last weekend and wasn't able to pinpoint the problem, but see if it works with all firewalls turned off.

I have the same problem with pianobar as well, I don't have the time right now to try to fix it, but if I do, I will submit a problem report or notify people of my workaround.
