    Issue with NFS share auto-remount after NFS server restart

    The problem is that when the Windows NFS server restarts, the file handles your FreeBSD client holds become stale. The client has an open mount but the server has forgotten the export state. The mount hangs rather than automatically recovering because that is default NFSv3 hard mount behavior...

    ZFS How to install a ZFS based system using an existing system

    So this script assumes that partitioning has already been done? It would worth amending this script or creating another one to be run beforehand. Exactly what would need to be in place before running the script you have provided?

    ZFS How to install a ZFS based system using an existing system

    First do "mount -o -u rw / " , everything becomes writable. this is ufs from installer. About default zpool imports & mounts , i dont know really.

    ZFS How to install a ZFS based system using an existing system

    That won't work from a installer media. The installers file system is read-only (by design DVD, CD, or in case of a .img, fstab mounted ro). That means no /BLABLA mount point can be created. The only file system read-write on the installer media are tmpfs /tmp and /var.

    ZFS How to install a ZFS based system using an existing system

    @balanga said Yes, you can. The ZFS pool is mounted by the zpool-create altroot property on /mnt, but the root dataset won't be mounted (see "-m none" in the script). It's not possible, the installer media is a read-only file system, no mount point can be created. You don't need to extract...

    Why FreeBSD, if I may..

    It's the only major BSD OS with an official forum. A few minor BSD's have a forum on their website, thus making theirs official for theirs. I stopped trying to see it as official, when a BSD doesn't have a hosted forum. The German and French language forums are an asset. Can't read their...

    Other How would you build your own NAS?

    I think this is very true. I've tinkered with NAS a bit. I've one older Intel atom box that's raid-z1 mirrored ZIL and read cache ssd and another somewhat newer but now five year old AMD Ryzen box which is without ZIL or SLOG drives in a mirrored configuration. While the newer cpu is faster the...

    ZFS GPT labels for GELI encrypted root

    I still don't understand your exact setup. Is the system you have problems with in the immediate vicinity or on a remote location? To the issue: apparently the zpool storing /boot is not imported fast enough to be read the geli .key file from (beastie-sysroot) /etc/rc.conf. I haven't tried if...

    Musings of a noob as I migrate from Windows to FreeBSD in my homelab

    Service deployment update: OpenLDAP + Kerberos backup services are running WOW. That was way harder than I thought it'd be After muddling my way through the installation and configuration of my primary LDAP + KDC setup, I'll admit it, I got cocky. I thought getting the read-only LDAP + KDC...

    Motherboard does not boot after hard power off

    That happens when I disconnect the cable. In my case, I get a blank screen, even if the computer is off. Interesting. Does that work without graphics? I read there something like: 1. Turn on the system. 2. Insert flash drive containing BIOS Named with M4A88TDV.ROM 3. The utility check...

    Which version of VI (vi, nvi, nvi2, vim, nvim) are you using and why?

    Any of them but only by force because there's nothing else and the file is too big to echo all the text to it. I don't understand why people appeal to a text-editor with specific invisible rules and status. Like the effect of backspace in vi. Must read man page. Really? Not my time going in that.

    attn cpp coders

    johnjohn - My comment wasn't directed at you specifically. And Yes! You need to learn memory management. C and C++ both can leak memory, so it's something that all programmers should learn and should handle in their code. For Valgrind take a look at the "--leak-check" argument to the command...

    Migrate from TrueNAS Core to vanilla FreeBSD

    I wrote: "snapshot the ROOT/default dataset and then you wipe out it's contents with rm -fr /" No, a snapshot is read-only forever. It can never be set set r/w, but you clone it to produce a writable dataset. IMHO you should choose the menu entry "open a shell" to create the datasets (is that...

    Server layout: rootfs on USB flash drive or NVMe?

    See, You wrote "You don't want CoW/CoW" several times (3? 4?), but not WHY. Thatŝ the POI. Why should I (or anyone else) blindly follow your advise, when it doesn't include at least a link where I can read an explanation or you give a short outline of the reasoning yourself, even a few...

    C Programming Project Testing - getting better at

    Recap of my current testing frame work: I have assembled 15 test cases which I run with a shell script (that calls my program and diff(1) against a known correct file). Here is my current list of tests. Testing is run upon the "make" command and this seems the most useful to me because when I...

    Server layout: rootfs on USB flash drive or NVMe?

    ZFS offers a lot of things that you don't get from LVM. Proximity to hardware using "support" (log, special, cache) VDEVs is one of them. At it's most basic, the building block for a VDEV is a hardware device of fixed size. Support VDEVs need to be close to the hardware to get the required...

    Server layout: rootfs on USB flash drive or NVMe?

    WRITE AMPLIFICATION!!! Ya ya ya now I remember! But only the term... the words.... Ok thx a lot I'll quickly find good explanations and likely I only have to read only halfway (the 1st few paragraphs of pages) and then I can reconstruct the rest.

    Server layout: rootfs on USB flash drive or NVMe?

    You didn't tell WHY in your comments above. I understand that my OS wants a fixed-size swap device, and i give it. I understand that for some use cases (DB stuff and VMs) it will be better to use a geom device with no ZFS between geom and the physical storage device, so I'll create two geoms...

    Server layout: rootfs on USB flash drive or NVMe?

    Reasoning: We want to minimize the amount of writes to NV RAM, because it wears out, and consumer-grade NV RAM -- which I have, even worse, they're already used -- wears out very quickly. So I'll have 2 extra swap partitions on the rotating devices, whether these are mirrored or not is another...
