I would rather trust the in-kernel ext2fs than the fuse exFAT. Not to speak of performance.

I really like #1. In theory, ext2fs can read ext4 drives, but I have always been nervous about using an operating system to to read (and even worse, to write) another operating system's filesystem. Yes, they say ext2fs can access ext4 filesystems (actually, the man page says "It currently...

You asked VladiBG but let me answer it: You can do 1:1 copies of drives and partitions with dd. I did it several times myself, and it works. BUT: You may save any drive to any other, as long as it's equally large, or larger. But with GPT partition scheme the copy will only work (being not...

No. As I said, the efi partition is not the MBR. But don't bother about the MBR too much. As an ex-Windows user I feel the need with you to be able to save and restore the MBR. Too many times I have also seen the MBR was killed by wrong bootloader installations, and above all Windows itself...

You are right about techniques how to gain popularity, how to grow customers. And we don't need to argue about that more users are better. No question. But just growing - raise the number of users, only - alone will not do good. Especially not, if the growth is too fast. You need to grow...

You didn't make any mistake by choosing the UFS. In fact it's much it's preferred file system when you have hardware raid controller or when you use a single disk or virtual machine. Anyway here's a little guide how to create a full back of the UFS using dump on locally attached dedicated hard...

You can wrap it in (...) and redirect to a file. Of course that requires a read-write mounted filesystem. Maybe it is easiest to use a USB stick and mount it right there in the script. Don't forget about the -x option, which might come in handy here.

Yeah I forgot about filesystem mount and remount ordering. dmesg only shows kernel printed messages. Userland startup is not captured.

I did as you suggested but nothing appeared. Maybe there was no write permission. I'll try something else just to make sure. Just trying again noticed that a message about 'read only file system' so rc.initdiskless is actually being executed. For some reason the message does not show up when...

I do that with the dd command. 1 disadvantage may be that it breaks on any failure. dd if=<input device/partition> of=<output file> bs=100M Make sure to read "man dd" and test a backup recovery procedure. You can also recover specific content inside a backup file by loading it with mdconfig and...

I finally figured how to format a USB thumb drive with UFS, I've been able to copy some of my important system directories to that USB, but now I'm wondering if a fresh installation of FreeBSD will have permission to even read it? So, my plan is to test my backup strategy by doing a fresh...

Success! Here is my working setup script (to be run as root). Q32 is the name of my bluetooth headphones. service bluetooth stop ubt0 service bluetooth start ubt0 hccontrol -n ubt0hci create_connection Q32 hccontrol -n ubt0hci write_authentication_enable 1 virtual_oss -B -S -C 2 -c 2 -r 44100...

I don't see how different custom NFSROOTDIR rc.conf of the same PXE root file system can be used by different clients. The documentation of diskless and /etc/rc.initdiskless doesn't mention such an option. You can find that script here. The script creates a partial clone of the host system in a...

This manpage says: but no such file exists on my installation of 15.0. Where could I get it from?

toddg Unfortunately, no. All my Ansible-related files are private. I recommend that you consult the documentation for the specific module that solves your problem, but I also think you should read up on the basics, such as variables, templates, files, playbooks, tasks, plays, etc. The good...

Use caution with rsync -a. If used by a normal user, it doesn't get permissions quite right. Having spent quite a while trying to get rsync to do everything exactly the way I want, here are my options for its use. I'm just showing the options I use here, not providing a complete script: #...

Having read etcupdate and looked at the source in /usr/sbin/etcupdate makes me asking for help. Confusion is about a bunch of named directories and being unsure what to use as I fail to succeed. The task is restoring /etc from backup and merge it with the untouched new /etc in a fresh...

Well, the process of using rsync -a to back up certain directories seemed to go very well, but I had to make a minor adjustment for my home directory. See below. mkdir -p /backup/boot mkdir -p /backup/usr/local mkdir -p /backup/home (New line) rsync -a /boot/loader.conf /backup/boot rsync -a...

When I am using a program and I am unsure of the options available I use the built in help facilities. dnsmasq --help Usage: dnsmasq [options] Valid options are: -a, --listen-address=<ipaddr> Specify local address(es) to listen on. -A, --address=/<domain>/<ipaddr>...

According to diskless:- I don't have anything in this directory /usr/share/examples/diskless/ I'm running FreeBSD 15.0. Should I expect to have something in this directory?
