Note that since the canmount property of zroot/usr was set to off, that dataset will not have been mounted at reboot.

I agree with Argentum that the most likely explanation is that one of your ZFS datasets is being mounted over the the top of a directory that contains data, which exists on another ZFS dataset. Since the files you are missing reside in /usr/local, possible datasets containing your missing files...

Hmmmm... Assuming that you already tried switching off the secure boot option and no more options magically appeared, it is looking like your Asus Vivobook only supports UEFI booting. You could confirm by finding the user manual for your precise model.

Hi, christhegeek, it sounds like you have a range of issues there. If you want some help solving the issues with your boot console and/or x11/xorg then it might be best to start a new thread. I'd suggest beginning with the boot console issues, though it would be helpful if you could provide...

I similarly dislike JavaScript, finding myself in agreement with Microsoft, who disliked it enough to wrap it in their own language, TypeScript. Unfortunately, however much I think it sucks, it is the way of the tech world at the moment. Having been hands-off web development for a few years I...

From poudriere-bulk you can manually remove all or selected previously built packages. Since you want to remove and force a rebuild of packages that depend on PostgreSQL 11, I suggest you remove just the packages you built for databases/postgresql11-client and databases/postgresql11-server and...

Before switching to other GNU/Linux distributions and subsequently to FreeBSD I spent years using Fedora with every software update resulting in time spent trying to get my desktop machine working properly again. I expect it has matured since then but I see no shame at all in running a...

It might be possible to configure your BIOS to load boot1.efi or loader.efi from the EFI partition, which would allow you to select it as a boot option on startup (probably by pressing a function key during startup) without installing a separate boot manager. However, on my machine, although...

Hi nix1, I very recently set up on my main machine to dual boot Windows 10 (1809) and FreeBSD 12.1, though using the rEFInd boot manager (rEFInd documents are here) to choose my operating system at boot rather than efibootmgr. It is working well, though without secure boot enabled and with a bit...

I'm sorry you feel that way, frijsdijk. My experience of the forums has been that there is much to be gained from the collective knowledge of people here, the vast majority of whom are trying only to help fellow FreeBSD users.

Thanks, Elazar, I wasn't aware of the ability to detach a kernel driver from a USB device. It would be interesting to know if that is how VirtualBox handles USB passthrough on other operating systems. For example, on a Windows VirtualBox host, is the USB device invisible to the host OS once...

You have my sympathy for needing to gain physical server access to resolve an issue! I would expect the /var/empty directory to have the schg (immutable) flag set on a default FreeBSD installation to prevent even root from removing it by mistake. The flags can be seen using the command ls -lod...

Looking at the SuperMicro X7DBU user manual, page 4-4 (page 60 of the PDF), I believe you should adjust the BIOS settings. I would recommend: Set Parallel ATA to disabled Check Serial ATA is set to enabled (this is the default) Set SATA Controller Mode to Enhanced Set SATA AHCI to enabled...

After the guest locked up, are there any errors on the host console (check by running dmesg)? What about in the guest Windows Event Log? Is there anything running on your host system that might automatically mount the USB disk (check whether it has been mounted somewhere by running mount |...

An afterthought: to save your sanity, it might be worth tracking down your motherboard's manual in case it specifies particular requirements for disk controller connections.

It is interesting that the BIOS lists "IDE:HDDx". PATA (IDE) drives needed the master/slave explicitly set to work correctly and some of the first SATA drives also had a master/slave jumper. However, given their size, I expect your drives are modern and do not have a master/slave jumper. Have...

Before you fully commit to writing a device driver, with umass in the 12.1 kernel and a recent version of emulators/virtualbox-ose what errors are you experiencing?

How far does the boot process get when it fails? What messages can you see? Are you using UEFI boot? If so do you have multiple EFI system partitions? If not have you installed boot code on all disks?

Since the mail/dovecot port doesn't delete /var/empty as part of the package removal, I don't think this can be considered a bug. The man page for rmuser suggests that it will ask for confirmation before deleting a home directory. Did you answer yes? Or invoke it as rmuser -y dovecot so that...

Welcome to the forums, ssw01. What symptoms are you seeing? Are both your host and guest systems running FreeBSD?
