Every day is a school day :) I've been using the setting and expecting devd to be running and it has been so never thought to check the defaults!

Hmmm... so in that case it is probably being processed as a GELI entry but not a memory disk entry. Perhaps try putting the following in /etc/rc.conf: mdconfig_md99="-t vnode -f /usr/swap/swap" For the entry in /etc/fstab use md99.eli but remove the file option, so it is treated as a GELI entry...

protocelt Interesting. When did the change come in? There is still a mention of devd_enable in the rc.conf man page for 10.1-RELEASE.

What happens if you specify md99.eli in fstab? Does the entry get processed twice, once as an mdX entry and once as a X.eli entry, which should do what you want?

Further to wblock@'s guidance, have a look at section 22.2.4 in the FreeBSD handbook for required changes to rc.conf. The page is slightly out of date as Virtual Box uses devd now rather than hald so instead of hald_enable, put devd_enable.

The executable is located at /usr/local/bin/thunderbird. From a terminal you can just type thunderbird. Depending on your X window manager a shortcut may already be in the menu.

Thanks very much, obsigna, I'm happily proven wrong. Using ping with the RECORD_ROUTE option does indeed capture the public IP address on the inbound leg. I found that I needed to ping a host inside my ISP's network though as it appears that my ISP is filtering out such packets before they...

I am happy to be proven wrong, but I don't believe it is possible to retrieve a NAT router's public IP using traceroute or ping. Although NAT routers decrement the TTL, I would expect a "Time to live exceeded" reply from the private interface, not the public one. Accepting that you don't want...

Hi ugaki. Welcome to the forums. You don't say what you have already tried or what specifically your issue is. Could you provide more information? The FreeBSD handbook has instructions on how to install software using pre-compiled packages or compiling it on your machine using the ports...

If you're keen to learn, have a look at your working system. gpart is the utility for manipulating partitions. You can see your partitions by running gpart show. If you installed FreeBSD using the UFS filesystem, then you can look at /etc/fstab to see how those partitions are configured. For...

Hi robergto. Welcome to FreeBSD and the forums :) Can you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file? You can get it by booting to the FreeBSD installation media and selecting "Live CD", then logging in as root with no password. You will need to mount your root (/) partition with something...

Unfortunately, the UEFI boot loader on FreeBSD 10.1 doesn't play nicely with the proprietary Nvidia driver, x11/nvidia-driver. When I try to load it in loader.conf, I experience a kernel panic. The workaround is to remove the entry from /boot/loader.conf and instead load the driver in rc.conf...

Welcome to the forums, Eli. You say you can access the Internet using IPv6, from your Windows 7 machine, and also that you can connect to the Internet via IPv4 from another machine, so routing doesn't seem to be your issue. I had a quick look at the PDF you linked to and saw that it doesn't...

kpa I agree a USB network adapter wouldn't be my first choice either, but neither the wired or wireless network cards on my main laptop are currently supported by FreeBSD. Though I've taken some steps in the direction, I'm yet to make time to try porting or writing drivers. I've been happily...

I just spotted that was your first post, s4va. Welcome to FreeBSD and the forums :) Applying patches that aren't official and recompiling FreeBSD probably isn't the best introduction to the operating system. Instead, you could use a USB network adapter such as the Plugable USB 2.0 10/100...

Unfortunately, you are not alone. From the Problem Report database: 197887 197002 189404 186872 A patch was posted to the freebsd-stable mailing list that may fix the issue.

You could use nullfs to mount the data directories under the user's home directory in addition to where they are normally mounted; see the mount_nullfs man page. You would need to do this from outside the chroot environment. However, I suspect this is not really what you need, since I imagine...

Prepare for FreeBSD installation We need to put all our filesystems in the appropriate place under /mnt for bsdinstall to do its thing. Our zroot pool is already there. Create a permanent mountpoint for our UFS filesystem: mkdir /mnt/ufsboot Remount our UFS filesystem there: umount...

Configuring the EFI partition Create the FAT16 filesystem for the EFI partition, with a label of FreeBSD_EFI: newfs_msdos -F 16 -L FreeBSD_EFI /dev/ada0p1 Create a temporary mountpoint for the new FAT filesystem: mkdir /tmp/efi Mount it: mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0p1 /tmp/efi Create the...
