    Broadcom WiFi

    I’m not yet sure if this is good or bad news. I mean – what do we gain? A Linux driver, no free documentation. Broadcom will sit back and see no requirement for any further action. After all, we got a Linux driver! I don’t think this will have any impact on Broadcom WLAN support in...

    Qutecom

    There are few Jabber clients who support Jingle (real Jingle, not only GTalk), let alone encryption via SRTP. :/

    SD card support

    Use /dev/da0s1 (both for fscking and mounting). /dev/dap1 is a GPT partition. Fdisk only creates traditional MBR schemes.

    Qutecom

    Qutecom is a very fine VoIP client running on Windows/Mac/Linux already. It’s the official successor of Wengophone. Has anyone gotten around to trying to port it already? Unfortunately, I don’t know enough of C++ to do it myself. :/

    csup 8.1 security patches

    See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html Of course, following RELENG_8_1 doesn’t make a difference when there are no security patches yet. ;)

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    Ok, this is strange: Group permissions work fine if I omit the -network and -mask options in /etc/exports. This should have no effect at all on permissions, right? :/

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    Doesn’t work for me unfortunately. Which release are you using?

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    Of course it’s readable if you map root from the client to root on the server. What you were testing is a 1:1 mapping of UIDs/GIDs. The problem is however the server not allowing a client mapped to a GID which should be able to read a file (and is indeed able to do so locally) to read that...

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    From exports(5): So that’s not true? EDIT: It also works perfectly the other way around, i.e. exporting a filesystem on the Debian client, mapping everybody to nobody:1000 and mounting it as root on FreeBSD. I really think this is the FreeBSD NFS Server which is granting access rights...

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    Even as root on the client the problem persists. It’s definitely the server not allowing me to access files that are readable for the group, but not for everyone.

    NFSD ignores group permissions

    Ok, scenario is as follows: I want to export several ZFS filesystems via NFS. The permissions on these folders are 750, with a few files 700. I’d like to set up an unprivileged user who is able to access these folders with group privileges, so that I can map all UIDs to this user without...

    Broadcom WiFi

    Update the whole source tree to 8-STABLE and recompile kernel _and_ world. It’s important to keep these in sync.

    Question about zfs raidz and geli

    I’m pretty sure ZFS+geli is _not_ the bottleneck here. To test ‘real’ I/O performance (and not network performance), use dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/place/on/your/raidz/test bs=512 count=10000 or something similar. However, your CPU usage seems troubling. Neither 50 nor 100% is anywhere...

    Broadcom WiFi

    @unsobill: Umm, nope. That’s actually no longer the way to do it. Instead, just csup a recent 8-STABLE and recompile kernel and world.

    Broadcom WiFi

    FYI, bwn(4) has been MFC’d to 8-STABLE (and is working nicely with WPA2 over here :) ). No more need for NDIS.

    boot2 issue with "/" on partition other than "a"

    Are you absolutely sure that writing 0:ad(1,b)/boot/loader into /boot.config (on the »a« partition!) will not work? I have a similar setup working (although with GPT partitions), and I’m not only booting off a different slice, but off a different disk.

    Configuration for pmbr?

    Okay, I was stupid. It seems /boot.config is indeed respected, I just placed it on the USB key instead of the hard drive boot partition. >.<

    FreeBSD 64

    Gnash is currently working natively with Firefox on amd64 for flash 10 videos (Youtube), so I’d rather use that than linux emulation + proprietary flash plugin.

    Configuration for pmbr?

    Okay, guys. I’ve set up an encrypted (keyfile + passphrase) root partition on ZFS, using GPT as partitioner: => 34 625142381 ad4 GPT (298G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K) 162 1024000 2 freebsd-ufs (500M) 1024162 8388608 3 freebsd-swap...
