    (EE) RADEON(0): [pci] Out of memory (-12)

    I have had a problem related to this for a long time (makes sense since its an unfixed bug). Sometimes my desktop would start without acceleration and i could not work out why. A reboot would fix it and it would be fine for a while. I see now why it appears to be a random occurrence, thanks...

    Question about zfs raidz and geli

    my geli threads end up giving a similar load as fgordon, never above ~10%. So 40% seems odd, and the fact only one device has the higher load. I wonder if a hardware issue with that disk or that SATA channel could cause it.

    Question about zfs raidz and geli

    The top -S comment was meant for CrazyEmperor really so he could see where his load was, sorry. I certainly don't get that behaviour, my system runs fine under load and over long usage periods. Its more an annoyance for me that my user land processes nailed because of high the system load...

    Xorg bugs using QT apps and radeon drivers

    I have also noticed some small issues running QT on xorg 7.4/7.5 with a Radeon HD 2400 PRO. Currently i only have one QT application that i use (sqliteman), and i often get areas of the application where it is not redrawn correctly and areas of corruption when switching tabs or scrolling. This...

    Question about zfs raidz and geli

    Im running a mirrored pool and a raidz pool with geli encrypted devices and get about 25-30mb/sec write in "real world" tests i did. My system is setup with default settings pretty much. I believe the patch above patch is to reduce the priority that geli threads run at, so "user land"...

    Why do I get no responses?

    It has a lot to do with how hard the question is to answer, which makes sense really, because its easy to bash out a reply to when/why you should use FreeBSD over Linux. But diagnosing esoteric network problems requires a deeper knowledge. One that could probably be found on the mailing lists...

    Auto-importing a zfs pool

    Hi all, I have a "root" pool and a "data" pool setup in my zfs system. mylo# zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT zdata 4.06T 645G 3.43T 15% ONLINE - zroot 149G 6.86G 142G 4% ONLINE - The "zroot/root" file system is mounted at boot from...

    FreeBSD LiveCD - Frenzy 1.2 - reincarnation - is released!

    Hey, thanks for posting this. I found Frenzy one of the best lightweight live cds for system recovery, certainly the best BSD based one. Nice to see it has some active developers again.

    ZFS benchmark on geli encrypted providers

    I'll be copying some bigger files around soon (not quite 100G tho), so i'll see how it behaves. I would like to upgrade my RAM to 4GB, as it's a cheap upgrade. That would also enable Prefetch because it is off by default with less than 4GB RAM, i'll see what effect it has when i do. One thing...

    ZFS benchmark on geli encrypted providers

    These are some benchmarks from my geli encrypted setup running ZFS. My system is pretty average so maybe these will help someone else out thinking about a similar setup. I'm curious to know if the performance seems reasonable, so any opinions welcome. I have a root file system mirrored pool...

    The Failure of the GPL

    There should always be a full spectrum of opinions in any society, the Liberals keep check on the Conservatives, and vice-versa. Most people lie in the middle somewhere (where i guess i do too), but i thank the nut jobs at each end of the spectrum for for a sane middle ground. Now i'm not...

    Using LiveFS for a manual base install

    Just in case anyone is interested in this as well. The DVD image does provide a LiveFS "fixit" environment on the disc with no swapping. I guess there were space issues with the CD since 6.1.

    Using LiveFS for a manual base install

    I would like to install a base system manually from "/dist/7.2-RELEASE/" on the cd. Its a setup using some GEOM providers, so i drop into the "live filesystem" under "fixit" to mount up the stuff i need first. But to get the LiveFS it tells me i must take out the normal cd and use the...

    gmirror metadata and slices

    Hi all, I would like to create a setup where gmirror mirrors the whole disk for me, and on that disk there are two slices. I think the correct procedure would be to label the drive with gmirror, then create the slices with fdisk. But im a little confused whether i should be worried about...
