Hi all,
After using FreeBSD on the server for many years, I've made my first excursion into FreeBSD on the desktop. I've got it running now on a second-hand Lenovo x220. I installed v12 RC3 following the instructions of vermaden here:
One minor issue:
Copying large files from a remote host, file transfer stalls after around 100MB. No error message, the transfer speed just drops to 0. I don't see this copying lots of small files, only with large ones, like 1GB. This only happens when using an encrypted session, ssh or scp. Using wget or copying via from NFS share, I don't see it. For this reason, I don't think it is the WiFi connection. A search turns up some hits, but mostly indicating a network issue, like MTU, which doesn't seem to be the issue here, since using unencrypted file transfer I hit the full speed of the connection. It seems rather that ssh "chokes" on large files
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've got the mate DE installed and so far so good.Now (in FreeBSD 12.x) it is possible to install FreeBSD on GELI encrypted root on ZFS pool without any additional partitions or filesystems. No longer separate UFS or ZFS boot pool /boot filesystem is needed. And what is even more appealing such setup is supported both on UEFI and BIOS (also refereed as Legacy or CSW) systems. [...]
