I think a brief look at the `sysrc(8)` code is/may be interesting (to some). If you start reading the source for `sysrc`, you'd essentially want (read: start paying attention to) this part from the source. # If `-f file' was passed, set $rc_conf_files to an # explicit value, modifying the...

I have read the documentation over and over. I have set up jails using IOCAGE on three different systems, started the jails and logged in, but for some (so far) unfathomable reason jails don't start due to a DHCP failure Here are the properties for one jail:- CONFIG_VERSION:33...

System logs are stored under /var/logs on the installer media (a tmpfs mounted file system). The developer is most likely interested in /var/log/messages, if it's not that log, ask him which log he wants. Perhaps he wants also the wifi devices technical specifications, best is to ask. If an...

I forgot to look at the ports patch file. It is not large or hard to read. I do wonder what part fixed Baytrail/Vallview problems. Maybe all of it. /usr/ports/grraphics/drm-510-kmod/files --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_os_freebsd.c.bak 2022-11-05 15:37:52.826643000 -0400 +++...

The FreeBSD installer media has a read-only file system, the /zroot mount point for the file system can not be created at the file systems root ( / ). You can create a mount point under /tmp (which is a tmpfs) and import the pool with the -R option, e.g.: zpool import -R /tmp/zfs zroot

By default, the system provides a set of Terminus fonts in /boot/fonts [1], applicable from /boot/loader.conf with the screen.font="6x12" variable. Have you tried those? Once the font set in /boot/loader.conf, it shouldn't effect the size when a drm-kmod driver is loaded. Also, unlike...

FreeBSD 15 Release. I am slowly learning about FreeBSD and ZFS (very slowly:rude:) and decided to switch our entertainment NUC and ditch the last Linux install in the house. So I had boot to autologin to Openbox setup and wanted to try and get resolution on the HDMI feed to HDTV over scan...

Your last post crossed this composition, so I see that you are tracking better, but I'll post this anyway, and respond to your specific questions later. Because state changes on network interfaces happen asynchronously there have to be mechanisms to deal with these asynchronously. On FreeBSD...

What happens if I type service ntpd onestart? I know where ntpd is, what it needs and what it's part of and I can see it running including the fulll command but I don't care. Just want to see the commands that will be executed by rc.d

Seems like you are a new unix user? Typically you can do "which cmd" to see which file contains cmd. Next you can do "file $(which cmd)" to see whether it is a script or a compiled program. If a script you can read it. If a compiled command, you can invoke it under ktrace or truss to see what...

fsck_msdosfs /dev/md0 And now it works! Thanks very much covacat

I was aware of this release, but seems there is some interest on the forum to see the state of version 1.0 of our OS :) Instead of trying to run it "natively", this is an archaic OS used on very old PCs. Many of the peripherals this OS run worked in 16 bit mode. An PC emulator sounds like the...

The chapter about jails in the handbook have been rewritten in 2024 (before that explanations and examples were mostly for ezjail which is now outdated), so following the handbook instructions in 2026 should cover most of your needs. If you want, here are posts I've made about some blog posts...

When I made FuryBSD to a short time after PCBSD ended it was exactly the opposite. Stock FreeBSD. The problems were lack of automatic graphics detection for certain setups. The nvidia drivers or maybe it was Intel drm kmod breaking when 13.1 would release because the packages were still built...

VMS...! If I recall correctly, it has default filesystem having versioning and needed `purge` (or `pur`) to purge unneeded old versions. But accessing to its filesystem via Fortran (!) was quite a huge pain.

Exactly. The user/group mechanism is very simple, and covers 90% or 95% of all use cases. In that sense it is genius, and typical Unix: a quick hack that gives us an MVP (minimum viable product). Other minicomputer operating systems of the same vintage had somewhat more complex user/group...

Hey all, just here to say that for me a FreeBSDnix is highly desired. Perhaps FreeBSD devs can find a better way to implement the most important part of NixOS. As a daily user of NixOS for probably a year and a half I think having a programming language to evaluate in such a way as to configure...

Awe, that's a bit unfair. My turn: so, who do you trust now? No retort from me. I however wanted to post some discussion points (as quickly and brief as I can because I'm running out of time) in case you do find enough time to continue. I am finding this more and more interesting and would...

The reasons why I asked for the add: The existing logic is flawed. It's not out of the possibility for an end-user to place comments or comment out 'optional' vars. The existing logic seems like it could be omitted (reading each line) by a simple sourcing. If this one aspect is wrong than...
