That's to do with your CPU, check your BIOS settings.

Yup, 11/11/11

More than likely an ncmpcpp issue then, I recall it occasionally not reporting vol% on some Linux's. Re: Music folder, How are you sharing the music folder between FreeBSD and Archlinux? Any particular filesystem?

No, only put it in /boot/loader.conf, it's an override file so one doesn't mess with the defaults. I'm not sure if it's essential but best to not use spaces, snd_hda_load="YES"

No reason to use that crappy alsa x( Just set it up to use OSS audio_output { type "oss" name "OSS" } Obviously you'll need to load the sound driver at boot time, ie I have snd_hda_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

Loads for me, what does pinging opera return? ping -c 3 www.opera.com The output of the following will help ifconfig -a netstat -rn Do you have a nameserver set in /etc/resolv.conf?

You could also use ZFS on a single disk and set copies={2,3} where needed.

You never need a seatbelt until you have a crash either. ;) To my mind its not a case of whether you need backups (as you got the data back), it's the ease of getting it back in the first place.

Not a Gnome user but have you tried this method? http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#full-gnome Specify your keyboard layout in ~/.xinitrc providing you have x11/setxkbmap installed and using the above method. setxkbmap -layout gb & setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp & exec...

Yes it is, I run an Asus M4A88TD-V EVO as desktop motherboard with no issues.

x11/nvidia-driver is the one you want.

Both 4K and head parking are known problems with the Caviar Green range, there are workarounds for them which would be very beneficial before you put loads of data on the pool. Your low write speed mentioned in another thread is very likely related to WD's crappy 4K implementation, gnop...

You'll have to re-make the pool. Couple of questions it may be worth looking into before building the RAIDZ2. What is the state of play regarding WD Green's 4K reporting to the OS? Does the head parking time need to be altered?

Jailed services would certainly be a benefit. Consider a zfs mirror setup to allow for jail cloning, compression, dedup, snapshotting etc. Scripts should be fine providing portability was taken into account ;) Check here for any programs...

I did a scrub after the original rsync of 534GB to the pool, just tried a zfs send | zfs recv with no errors I'm relieved to say :)

Just installed a Seagate Green SATA-III 2TB these are 4K and use SmartAlign. A standard zpool on a single disk and no messing with ashift etc. Transfers of a 10GB .mkv gives read 132MB/s write 115MB/s Not bad at all for a 5900 rpm drive.

Yes, it would mean make one small alteration, /usr/src/UPDATING would be worth checking though.

Can someone clarify what similarities Arch and FreeBSD share?

It could also be argued that the enlightened (Unix) users tend to get their information from more reputable sources while the less advanced of the human race get their info from Wikipedia. :)
