    C Error: undefined symbol: ftime Why?

    you only have to append -lcompat to the Makefile. . Maybe: LIBS += -lcompat Or ask the developers to stop using this deprecated function.

    The Case for Rust (in the base system)

    Untrue. One will easily leak memory by creating reference cycles. And, most of the time, developers will be trapped by following the borrower 's advices. By enabling Clangs' C sanitizers, software will crash in the same way as with Rust when an over-bound is hit. Rust is not that «safe». Rust...

    In depth Device Tree Questions

    That is not exactly the case, @unit address acts as an id. It's an address within the device tree. The common way to define a register address is to setup the reg property in the device node. However, as one usually do, @unit address follows the register address.

    Cloning a live FreeBSD system for easy disaster recovery

    Oracle ZFS has already turned into closed source. OpenZFS lives now independently so that the both versions are no longer compatible. Like others, I may point out that running FreeBSD on top of ZFS makes administrations tasks, i.e. regular backups, easier.

    Solved Question about /etc/freebsd-update.conf file

    No, I do not see anything related to the freebsd-update configuration file in bsdinstall. This file came with base.txz, and should be the same for each install. To avoid the warning you may only have to remove the src components. If not, freebsd-update will check for the availability of...

    Trouble compiling with gcc (mariadb/mysql)

    Have a look to shelLuser' answer. That means that /usr/local/include is somehow defined as a default path for include files, within the toolchain you are using. This is not the case by default on a fresh installed FreeBSD, however (clang). You should start using a MakeFile; see the porters...

    I do not understood clearly how you can tell the system that you are away or not; btw: Defines the suitable mountpoints as noauto in fstab, so that they will not be mounted automatically at boot time. Then, write a rc script that will mount these manually. Call this script when you are at home...
