    Newbie maintainer question on PR workflow

    What you did is correct. The maintainer-approval+ on the approved patch shows the PR is ready. When it either gets looked at by a committer or marked as maintainer approved it will show up in the pool of ready to go PRs. I just committed it. Unfortunately there is 1927 open PRs as of closing...

    ELK in a jail

    If you plan to use textproc/elasticsearch2 I found that would not start without a loopback device. So I switched my testing jail to a VIMAGE jail. There may be a configuration option that prevents the need for this if VIMAGE is an issue since it's not available by default. However, in my...

    Is there any plan to support GRO

    The same question recently came up on the freebsd-net mailing list (see https://lists.FreeBSD.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2016-January/044272.html). The end was patches to implement the feature are welcome.

    Solved Kernel panic when copying from ext4 partition to UFS

    I noticed reading the daily commit message that another ext4 related read panic got fixed today in 205938. I CC'd that committer to see if he can offer any extra insight.

    ZFS ZFS scrub as disk burn-in tool

    Yes. Do keep in mind what phoenix mentioned. In my example this is my desktop with a new 1/3 full pool and I mainly cared about a stress test for damaged disks while shipping. Enough for me. Not enough if you are putting your company's bottom line on the line.

    Solved PF permission for table file

    Yes. Fail2ban uses /var/db/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3 by default to store which IP addresses should be banned and just calls pfctl to ban each address.

    rc.d daemon not processing command flags

    Hello. An output of what the failure is would be helpful. When it comes to shell scripting the -x flag (see sh) can be very helpful if not a bit noisy at first look. So sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<yourscript> start will give some clues at what the issue is. Also, I notice you are rolling some...

    ZFS ZFS scrub as disk burn-in tool

    I've done several repeated scrubs after moving data from older disks on my desktop to newer disks. Between the re-sliver to writes to each new disk as I replaced one by one and 2 or 3 scrubs afterwards I was satisfied I didn't see any early symptoms of disk failure. There's probably a more...

    Debian mourns the passing of Ian Murdock

    https://bits.debian.org/2015/12/mourning-ian-murdock.html A worthwhile mention here for our brothers and sisters in the wider open source community. Debian's founder has recently passed away.

    Solved Can I change default options with pkg?

    The general rule of thumb is if the option doesn't introduce any extra dependencies and/or is useful to most of its end users than the option should be on. It's worth asking the maintainer.

    Solved How can I know which applications was installed by Packages and Ports?

    The information is stored in the annotations for the package. You can see it with pkg info <packagename>. The pkg-query can be used to get it for all packages. Something like pkg query 'Package %n-%v installed from %R' would do.

    Solved Can I change default options with pkg?

    No, the options are compiled in during the build process so they cannot be changed through the package manager.

    sonewconn: pcb 0xff...: Listen queue overflow: ... already in queue awaiting acceptance

    A netstat -n -p tcp and netstat -s -p tcp could be helpful here when you next see the error. A pfctl -si would also add some context when this happens.

    Raspberry Pi 2 and jails

    From /usr/src/Makefile (https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/base/head/Makefile?view=markup#l59) It would take a while, days not hours. This is probably the territory to just crossbuild on a faster amd64 host and mount it's /usr/obj from the Raspberry. I haven't looked into the syntax on that but it...

    Please help the noob (virtualbox guest additions question)

    Correct. The +MANIFEST is one of the files included in a package that is installed via pkg install <package>. This has nothing to do with the source code of the FreeBSD base system that belongs in /usr/src. Remove all the files in /usr/src and follow the steps above to get the system source code.

    Please help the noob (virtualbox guest additions question)

    There is no +MANIFEST in /usr/src. If you didn't select the src option to extract the src.txz during the installation you can either get it now from http://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/10.2-RELEASE/. Alternately, you can get it via Subversion via svnlite checkout...

    Has anyone got cad/pcb to work correctly?

    It looks like the version we have in ports is the most current one. See if you can file a bug at http://pcb.geda-project.org/bugs.html to get the issue fixed. If it's fixed without a new upstream release we can potentially apply the patch to the port until a new release comes out.

    Solved pkg not very robust?

    PC-BSD uses pkg quite differently and uses boot environments and does updates as a full download/reinstall of all packages. The best source of information is going to be through PC-BSD forums on this topic.

    FreeBSD is susceptible to common exploits

    The jailbreak referenced in the article was a kernel issue. I would advise reading the series of articles regarding the issue. http://cturt.github.io/ps4.html http://cturt.github.io/ps4-2.html http://cturt.github.io/ps4-3.html It was resolved months ago in SA-15:21...
