Thank you for the detailed reply! How would you know if your mirrored drive has the necessary boot blocks so you know, with confidence, you could boot from it if you wanted to? Wouldn't it, by default, be a "carbon-copy" in every detail of the other drive that it was/is mirroring? Ed

There are many options to back up your zroot zpool. You may read about zfs send to send a backup to a file to another zpool or zfs dataset but these are only good for off machine or offsite storage. You can use zfs snapshots. The best approach would be to use snapshot using boot environments...

To be more clarified... Read book about localization and internationalization. There generic information about configuring locales, languages and, for your topic, keyboard layouts and keys to switch between them. Than about available Desktop environments (of course after installing Xorg). That...

I do not get deep enough into how ttys, console works. But reading the source of xconsole it should be noted, that after opening /dev/console for read/write (that is for the change of access rights needed), it then tries to redirect output from to pty, and fails there, obviously because of...

Comparing the the machine that is working, I'm wondering if my /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf should read FreeBSD-base: { url: "pkg+https://pkgbase.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_0", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints...

Yes maybe I will just write a C program to do that but the test will also be upstreamed along with the fix, it needs to live in /tests/sys/fs/fusefs/read.cc and write.cc and use the existing gtest framework.

First of all, thanks to everyone for taking the time to help, and I'm sorry I have not had the time to reply before now. bakul, thank you for your suggestion. I had been thinking along those lines, but I hadn't found a way to actually block the module, the best I could do was to disable...

Oddly even after dding the image again on to USB key and completing configuration via the UI it fails to boot. With the same panic message. I was able to complete boot in to the desktop env a few times before. Laptop works perfectly under macOS so it should not be hw failure. Also in single...

Hello, I am normally a Linux user, but I have an old Acer Aspire One which is an i386 and I found among the few OS that still supports it FreeBSD so I gave it a go. I was able to make a dual boot FreeBSD/Windows XP. I am currently running FeeBSD 13.5 with IceWM. Basically everything runs fine...

restore -t will list dumped file/dir names. It will complain if the dump is damaged. Do read its manpage.

If I run as root but do not reference the config file location, it starts, and says it's running as user "mosquitto": # mosquitto 1771811568: Info: running mosquitto as user: mosquitto. 1771811568: mosquitto version 2.1.2 starting 1771811568: Using default config. 1771811568: Bridge support...

AIDE doesn't work correctly on my new install and I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried with a working config and I've also tried with the default config that comes with it. In both cases, it looks unable to parse the root directory. This is super strange because I'm running aide --init as...

The best starting point would be reading different but similar ports as you want to port and see what they do. And read Porter's Handbook with Mk/bsd.port.mk for anything you cannot understand what's done.

Alpine/Pine/Mutt and external viewers. The way email should be, although I do use claws-mail.

I used many years the BSD 'mail', read attachments with 'metamail'. You are right that now one gets links, attachments with images, so that GUI is inevitable. But I would never use a GUI program for mail, the idea is an horror. I use apline. Indeed, that is why I use X11 (with twm). If an...

Usually static pages are not served from disk but from cache. So trying to read the modification time either causes unnecessary polling of the file on disk or returns bogus values for the cached data (e.g. last cache access) - either way, you shouldn't do that as you already discovered.

Hi, I am new to FreeBSD. I made a fresh installation of FreeBSD 15 on a desktop, installed Xorg and xfce. One of my problems is that both mouse that I have are not working. My preferred mouse is an old ps2 mouse Logitech model M-SBF83 with a scroll wheel that works a middle button as well. The...
