Hi all, Success — thanks to all! $ zpool status system pool: system state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 1h21m with 0 errors on Sun Mar 11 12:02:32 2018 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM system ONLINE 0 0 0...

Great tips, guys, thanks a bunch!

Hi all, I'm seeking advice on how to safely replace a disk that's currently part of a ZFS array. In particular, I don't recall exactly how I installed things in the first place (it was a while ago), so help reconstructing necessary gpart and zfs steps would be greatly appreciated. As I...

I am also confused about the new Python flavors approach. Is it still possible to install the same port for two different Python versions, for example, 2.7 and 3.6? When I try this kind of parallel installation using portmaster with a port such as graphics/py-pillow, whichever flavor of the...

I can corroborate what EnioRM reported — my Samba 4.3.9 performance rebounded when I set "use sendfiles=no" instead of "yes". 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #0 r297264: Fri Mar 25 02:10:02 UTC 2016

Hi Vermaden, great guide! Any chance of an update for 9.0? Much appreciated!

Updates for 8.2? Hi Vermaden, I've got a system running 8.1 now, but I'm thinking of installing 8.2 from scratch using your method. Will there be any changes to the installation procedure for the new STABLE release? Thanks!

These are both good tips; thanks! In the end, I should have obeyed my first rule of *NIX troubleshooting, i.e., "It's probably a permissions problem." Changing /etc/devfs.rules to set the cups group for a couple of additional devices made all the difference, and now I'm happily printing from...

Hi all, I'm having a devil of a time getting my printer to work with CUPS. It's an HP LaserJet P1006, and although I think that I've got all of the appropriate drivers installed (foo2xqx from print/foo2zjs), CUPS can't print a test page. I can upload the appropriate firmware and the...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. No ccache here, so I don't think that's the issue. It's really odd because the command just sits there indefinitely. Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade my 8.1-PRERELEASE box to 8-STABLE, but when I run make buildworld (or more specifically, sudo make buildworld) nothing happens. top shows no activity, and the console just sits there. The system is otherwise available, seems to be running fine, and I can...

Thanks for the reply, DD! It turns out that my problem was self-inflicted; my pf.conf file was blocking packets from all private networks on the outward-facing interface, resulting in no DNS service from the DSL modem's integrated router. Everything works after adjusting my pf configuration...

Hi folks, I just switched ISPs, and my new DSL modem has a built-in router. Previously, I'd been using my FreeBSD box as a router hooked up to a single-purpose cable modem, and I liked the way it worked. Now, however, the new router and my FreeBSD router aren't playing nice. Ideally...

OK, took a while, but the issue has come up again. I took a look at iftop's output, and while it confirms how slow things are, it doesn't provide any more specific insight into the cause of the problem. dmesg is clean except for the failure of a "conftest" process, and I have no idea whether...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'm embarrassed to report that posting on this forum seems to have cured the problem without any further action on my part, but if the system starts acting up again I'll definitely refer to your advice. Much appreciated!

Hi all, I've got a persistent problem with network slowdown that I haven't been able to diagnose. Immediately after a (re)boot, everything seems fine, but the longer my homebrew, all-in-one router/server stays on, the slower things get on both my wired and wireless LANs. Transfer...

This worked almost exactly as advertised! I ended up with 4x500GB HDDs with a 4-way mirrored base system, 4 GB swap spread across the disks, and ~1.3TB ZFS. My only hiccup was the "zpool import -D" bit, which for some reason didn't want to play nice. However, "zpool import basefs" did the...

Very cool, I'll get that process underway. I'll probably generate some par2 data for those split tar files as well, just in case. Thanks!

Couple of questions about implementation and migration First off, thanks to Vermaden for posting this! It's a very slick way to take advantage of the best filesystems that FreeBSD offers. I'm considering migrating a home server to 8.0, and this seems like a great setup for me. I've got a...
