I stand corrected! Thierry Leloup, you don't need to destroy the partition on the external hard disk. Just change its type with gpart modify -i 1 -t linux-data /dev/da1p1 :) Edit: Corrected from "configure" to "modify" for the command before tobik can point it out. I'm obviously having a bad...

I was busy replying to the original version of your post last post... which I now see you have edited: So, with a quick U-turn... I believe that the issue is what I suggested in my first post; that the FreeBSD UEFI bootloader finds the UFS partition on the external disk first and tries...

What happens when you try to boot with the /backup entry removed from /etc/fstab but the external disk connected?

Can you provide some more information? What version of FreeBSD are you using? Are you trying to boot with the external disk plugged in? Or without it plugged in? What happens when the computer does not boot? What error message(s), if any, can you see? When does the computer boot...

Two potentials I can think of: Were you trying to boot without the disk plugged in? Unless you intend to leave the disk connected for every boot, you need to adjust your /etc/fstab entry to include the noauto option (see the fstab man page) and then mount it manually. Will the server boot at...

Some information on the FreeBSD IPsec implementation is available in the IPv6 chapter of the Developer's Handbook. You may be able to find information about the KAME stack, on which the FreeBSD implementation was based, on the old KAME project website. Whether any of this is relevant to...

If you haven't already it would be worth reporting the issue to Intel, since running a UEFI boot loader should not be able to break a BIOS's ability to boot. From the Intel DX79TO motherboard documentation (page 53-54, figure 24 and table 14) I see there is a jumper on the motherboard that can...

wblock@, my mistake, I was thinking about VirtualBox running on a FreeBSD host, which used to need sysutils/hal for guest access to host devices but now doesn't. As far as I'm aware, the other configuration details in the Handbook are still relevant for providing full functionality in the guest...

Every day is a school day :) I've been using the setting and expecting devd to be running and it has been so never thought to check the defaults!

Hmmm... so in that case it is probably being processed as a GELI entry but not a memory disk entry. Perhaps try putting the following in /etc/rc.conf: mdconfig_md99="-t vnode -f /usr/swap/swap" For the entry in /etc/fstab use md99.eli but remove the file option, so it is treated as a GELI entry...

protocelt Interesting. When did the change come in? There is still a mention of devd_enable in the rc.conf man page for 10.1-RELEASE.

What happens if you specify md99.eli in fstab? Does the entry get processed twice, once as an mdX entry and once as a X.eli entry, which should do what you want?

Further to wblock@'s guidance, have a look at section 22.2.4 in the FreeBSD handbook for required changes to rc.conf. The page is slightly out of date as Virtual Box uses devd now rather than hald so instead of hald_enable, put devd_enable.

The executable is located at /usr/local/bin/thunderbird. From a terminal you can just type thunderbird. Depending on your X window manager a shortcut may already be in the menu.

Thanks very much, obsigna, I'm happily proven wrong. Using ping with the RECORD_ROUTE option does indeed capture the public IP address on the inbound leg. I found that I needed to ping a host inside my ISP's network though as it appears that my ISP is filtering out such packets before they...

I am happy to be proven wrong, but I don't believe it is possible to retrieve a NAT router's public IP using traceroute or ping. Although NAT routers decrement the TTL, I would expect a "Time to live exceeded" reply from the private interface, not the public one. Accepting that you don't want...

Hi ugaki. Welcome to the forums. You don't say what you have already tried or what specifically your issue is. Could you provide more information? The FreeBSD handbook has instructions on how to install software using pre-compiled packages or compiling it on your machine using the ports...

If you're keen to learn, have a look at your working system. gpart is the utility for manipulating partitions. You can see your partitions by running gpart show. If you installed FreeBSD using the UFS filesystem, then you can look at /etc/fstab to see how those partitions are configured. For...

Hi robergto. Welcome to FreeBSD and the forums :) Can you post the contents of your /etc/fstab file? You can get it by booting to the FreeBSD installation media and selecting "Live CD", then logging in as root with no password. You will need to mount your root (/) partition with something...

Unfortunately, the UEFI boot loader on FreeBSD 10.1 doesn't play nicely with the proprietary Nvidia driver, x11/nvidia-driver. When I try to load it in loader.conf, I experience a kernel panic. The workaround is to remove the entry from /boot/loader.conf and instead load the driver in rc.conf...
