Ok merci Alain, I got it and it work. I change the include-system-site-packages = true in pyenv.cfg and now everything work! Serge

I installed the port but I don't know how to mix the virtual environment and the local package.

Hi, I'm trying to install matplotlib to use it with jupyter notebook. I'm using pip in a virtual environment to install it. Jupyter install fine but I'm getting an error trying to install matplotlib. pip complain about building FreeType 2. I have freetype 2 install on my system but an older...

Well, the answer is: yes, we should still keep zfs_enable="YES" in our /etc/rc.conf. It starts the ZFS daemon that takes care of our ZFS drive!

I still wonder ifzfs_enable="YES" is required in /etc/rc.conf? I just installed without it and everything seems to work fine.

Wait! @J65nko is right, we should avoid getting rid of zpool.cache for now. I just tried to create another boot environment with beadm and discover that beadm uses the zpool.cache file. If you have an install without the zpool.cache file just issue the following command to generate it: zpool set...

The most elegant way I found so far is this way: zpool create zroot /dev/gpt/disk0 zfs set mountpoint=none zroot zfs create zroot/ROOT zfs create -o mountpoint=/mnt zroot/ROOT/default zpool set bootfs=zroot/ROOT/default zroot This way the system is ready for beadm. Everything works but there...

@ShelLuser, I saw your post but since I was getting an error when I was trying to create the zpool your way, I thought you made an error in your post. No offence!

The problem when I issue that command is that instead of mounting it on /mnt it mounts it on /mnt/tank? With an error message "can't mount..." I don't get it.

In the install process when I exit to the shell to create my zpool I have trouble finding an elegant way to mount it on /mnt. I succeeded with trial and error and export/import. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails.

After testing I confirm that the install works without the use of zpool.cache and the use of vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot" in /boot/loader.conf. I still need to find an elegant way of creating the zpool.

I'm still testing the install on 9.2. The following line isn't required anymore in /boot/loader.conf for 9.2: vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot" zpool.cache also is not required anymore. I don't think the following error message is a problem since we export and import back the zpool. # zpool create...

Thanks for this post! I didn't try to install FreeBSD 9.2 this way so far!

I don't use that way anymore. I use PC-BSD install, it's easy and does a very clean install of all the folders the right way. It also structures the folders for Beadm. You just have to choose FreeBSD install instead of PC-BSD. But your additions are very good. PC-BSD just does them without...

Since I start this thread, I'm very happy with my decision! It change vocation 2 times from a time machine backup server to a VPN server. I bought a Time capsule! Was less expensive than upgrading my server! Today I had a APC UPS to it, took less than 10 minutes to configure. Hope to upgrade...

It work when I use my FreeBSD for time machine but I didn't suceded using Time Capsule. I will need to try again!

Rolf, I was trying to avoid using IP because I think for time machine it will be a different drive and I will loose my actual backup. Adding IP/name in /etc/hosts look to be the best solution so far. But even if I see the Time Capsule and Time Machine detect it, It as not been able to connect...

Rolf, Thanks for this great How-to! I still have one small issue. Even if I'm able to see and connect on all machine on my remote network. I can't connect to those machine using their name. I need to connect to them using the IP adress. So time machine doesn't recognize 192.168.2.23 as is...

Well, so far my FreeBSD ZFS serveur is running like a charm! Uptime is now close to 3 days! With my Ubuntu server, I was having connection problem with AFP from time to time... Never happen so far with FreeBSD. I'm using it mostly as a time machine. What I expect also with FreeBSD is less...

csup is going to be deprecated! Should I follow RELENG or STABLE? I'm not quite sure
