    Partition and file system creation on NVMe based SSD

    Sorry to revive this long dead thread, but for the next person searching for the answer: The /dev/nvme0 and /dev/nvme0ns1 devices are only control devices, you do not use them as block devices. The block device will be /dev/nvd0 etc, for each namespace you create, and those are what you should...

    bhyve + crazy idea: virtual device drivers possible?

    This has already been done. Shawn Webb uses a linux vm to run his Intel wireless nic that doesn't yet have a freebsd driver: http://0xfeedface.org/2014/12/11/FreeBSD-Intel-wifi-via-bhyve.html

    Added XDM - now stuck in a 'loop'

    Normally it should be the same /boot/loader.conf, but something odd must be going on this this particular install. I'd love to see the output of zpool list, zfs list, and ls -al /boot to try to debug it

    Added XDM - now stuck in a 'loop'

    You shouldn't have this problem, but, the unencrypted pool where /boot lives in called bootpool, try zfs list to find it. It was set up with /boot as a symlink to /bootpool/boot. It turns out freebsd-update eats this.

    Unable to boot Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 64 bit on bhyve

    Yes, those are the commands that were stopping the VM before, being safely ignored.

    Unable to boot Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 64 bit on bhyve

    This problem (specific to Ubuntu 14.04) was fixed with the new -w flag in bhyve. However this was not introduced until after 10.0-RELEASE. You'll have to upgrade to 10-STABLE, or grab one of the 10.1-PRERELEASE snapshots from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snaps ... AGES/10.1/.

    Cannot decrypt ZFS bootpool after hardware change

    The devices are named based on the port number, but if you have device 3 and 4 plugged in, they will be ada0 and ada1. If you then plug in device 0 and 1, those will be ada0 and 1, and 3/4 become ada2/ada3.

    Cannot decrypt ZFS bootpool after hardware change

    You likely will need to update your /boot/loader.conf (on the unencrypted bootpool) to identify the location of the new drives. geli_%s_keyfile0_load geli_%s_keyfile0_type geli_%s_keyfile0_name where %s is the partition (ada0p3). I am not sure if this happens before or after any label...

    Converting remote server from gmirror to ZFS

    The /etc/fstab on the ZFS side should have just your swap, everything else comes from ZFS automatically (make sure you have zfs_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf so it mounts everything not just /). Also you can remove the vfs.root.mountfrom line from loader.conf once you've finished the conversion...

    Error when compiling devel/gettext in jail

    You probably want to do: ezjail-admin update -up The -p updates the ports tree in the jails as well, via portsnap.

    Accidentally deleted lib files for pkg-ng

    Restore the file from the backup you did before you started the upgrade The easiest way around it is to copy that lib from another machine with the same version of FreeBSD or start a jail and compile the port in there and copy the lib from that.

    Understanding zpool iostat output

    In that case, it might be ZFS reading metadata, which it might not count towards the 'bandwidth' which is actual file data. But, I am just guessing

    problem in the ports tree

    It appears to be a work-in-progress for the new build target. For now, I've manually reverted Mk/bsd.port.mk from CVS: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk?rev=1.742;content-type=text%2Fplain

    apache, fastcgi, PHP - cpu limits not working

    Have you put the user that the FastCGI runs as in the login class that has the limit? You will need to restart the FastCGI process to make that take effect. I am not sure that suexec() actually applies the login class, so you might need to apply the restriction to the actual UID, not the...

    Installation of FreeBSD onto a Logical Partition

    You'll want to do newfs -U /dev/ad0s1s3d to enable soft-updates, -S is to specify sector size, and will give you an error if you do not provide it the expected size parameter.

    Jails and resource limits

    You can somewhat limit a jail by adjusting it's cpuset, by only allowing each jail to use a specific subset of your cpus/cores, you can prevent any one jail from dominating 100% of your system. for more on Jail Resource Limits, see the google SoC page http://wiki.freebsd.org/JailResourceLimits
