That's an offer I can't refuse. So please, by all means :)

I would like to do the following on my FreeBSD 9.1 server: The host's re0 interface is connected to a managed switch and configured as a trunk port. The host itself should be in VLAN 10 and get its IP address from a DHCP server. Then I have a couple of jails. Those should be in VLAN 20...

Okay, got it. This shows how new I am to this side of FreeBSD...

Thanks for that doc. My own consideration falls in line with this citation: In my case there are 6 1TB discs = approximately 4TB. So, the plan, for now, is to use 500G without encryption = 125G per disc. Did I overlook and/or do I need to consider anything else? (Note to self: read that ZFS...

Yes, I do have data that needs to be stored with encryption. I realise. What I'm saying is that I don't see the need to encrypt the entire system, I'd be OK with only encrypting what needs to be encrypted rather than the entire system. Let's say I only want to encrypt /home. Can this only...

I searched through the forums and the Internet and found many valuable clues, but I need your advice on just a few more things before I'm ready to start working on this project. I'm about to play with a machine with an Intel Q6600 (quad core) CPU, 7G RAM (DDR2) and six hard discs. The CPU has...

Despite the topic's age I think this is a very interesting question. I want to learn about this subject because FreeBSD's maturity has fully won me over. I didn't have to deal with these settings on my Linux servers although I'll admit this is only an assumption. Yes, I know of which things...

Thanks, then we can get back on topic. My own main concerns with any new init system is that I can also choose from a hundred other, more important tasks to work on. I'd prefer to be free in this without having to worry about this new init system beast coming my way and eating my routines at an...

HRM, it's becoming a cliché: I found the answer shortly after asking the question. :) So there you have it. Aside question for the mods: I had to use {code} tags because it seems that {cmd} tags do not work within {quote} tags. Is this correct and ok for me to do?

I'm wondering about the same thing: I'd like to know the commands to enable/disable: * advanced power management; * automatic acoustic management. Much obliged.

Here here. I fully agree. I also don't understand why people try to bring so much irrelevant arguments to the table: It's also none of your concern. This isn't a therapy session and apart from the fact that your remark is rudely judgemental, it's also highly irrelevant. The fundamental...

Good luck to the people who are re-compiling the packages, I appreciate the effort!

Thanks. Sorry, I re-posted my question in a different thread because I was talking about pkgng.

pkg.conf suggests that http://pkg.freebsd.org/ could be used. And it did work for a while. But not anymore, it doesn't even have an A record, is something wrong? And is there any place that still hosts packages or am I screwed now that I switched to pkgng?

Let's just keep FreeBSD's init system as it currently is, except for small changes. Nothing made me more sad than the sudden maniacal switch to systemd of distributions that used to work fine. Look at Arch Linux, one day this was very close to a FreeBSDish style. I liked it. But then I got...

Where are they listed? It seems that http://pkg.freebsd.org/ has no A record in the DNS and http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/ seems to be almost entirely empty...

I am also very glad of this, I was afraid to be warned but I'm glad my comments were tolerated. It's good to have these meta discussions every now and then, especially when the people who comment refrain from becoming (too) personal in their comments / attacks.

Look at the typo: device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qwmu-dm' Would that be the problem?

Ok. You and the others convinced me. I won't be annoyed anymore and withdraw my prior statement your honor! :r

Hi Ondra. I agree that this forum does have a high quality and I come here often, too. I understand that many (or even few) spelling errors and/or incorrectly used forum codes can be very detrimental for the forum's quality. However, when someone writes for example the following: And it gets...
