    libserf builds against base despite settings?

    I have the same problem. Building Serf against MIT does solve the problem, but results in conflicts down the road. Update: Building Serf against Heimdal Base seems to solve my issue.

    Solved What are good practices when building my own packages?

    Hmm, I wanted to put my buildserver into a jail. But since the buildserver has to be updated first, that's going to be tricky. Is it possible to do this with Bhyve? In other words, can Bhyve run a newer FreeBSD version that the host?

    Solved What are good practices when building my own packages?

    Ok, I'll look into it. Maybe this sounds stupid, but what do I do between major and minor FreeBSD upgrades? Upgrade de buildserver, rebuild the packages, upgrade the client and update the packages?

    Solved What are good practices when building my own packages?

    This sounds like a good solution for me. Do you recommend any documentation on how to do this?

    Solved What are good practices when building my own packages?

    Hi, I want to migrate my mailserver to a new one. So I'm in the process of installing and building a new mailserver. However, the Postfix package doesn't come with PostgreSQL support build-in, which I happen to need. I know it's bad practice to throw both packages and ports into the mix. And...

    Solved IPv6 gateway?

    Hi Latwe, Your answer is in my original post. Depending on your setup, one of your NIC's is connected to the internet and the other to your LAN. With that in mind, you can change rc.conf accordingly.

    Invisible and disappearing files on Samba

    Hi, I'm experiencing a strange and frustrating problem on our Samba-server. People complain that files are not on the server (anymore). However, the files are in fact there, when I check via SSH/CLI. Samba just doesn't show them. I found that simply copying an invisible directory with cp -a...

    Solved Server won't boot after replacing zroot disks

    I booted the server with a livecd and used dd to copy the freebsd-boot partition from one of the original HDD's, to the two new HDD's. After this the server booted without errors and everything seems to work fine. You guys have been most helpfull :)

    Solved Server won't boot after replacing zroot disks

    Aha! The -i 1 daX part, should have been -i 2 daX, right? Well, at least now I know what went wrong. Followup question. I simply used dd to write the original efi partition to the new efi partition. Is this the right way to do it? Or at least a valid way? If not, how should I do it properly?

    Solved Server won't boot after replacing zroot disks

    Hi, I just replaced both disks of a zroot mirror (da2 and da10). As far as I can tell I did everything right. But evidently something went wrong, since the server won't boot. All I get is a black screen, with a blinking cursor. On the bright side, this is an old decommissioned server, I'm just...

    Installer hangs during boot (11.1 on AMD)

    I had the same issue when I tried to install FreeBSD 11.2 RELEASE AMD64 on an older server I retired (it's going to get a nice second life at home :)). This server has a TYAN S7045 motherboard (S7045GM4NR) and was running a V1.01 BIOS. After updating the BIOS to V1.06, the issue was resolved and...

    My problems with FreeBSD

    Well, thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt :) You are correct that upgrading between LTS-releases is much more messier. Which is why I don't do it. 5 years is a long time to run a server. So I usually use this as an opportunity to decommission a server entirely and start from...

    My problems with FreeBSD

    Hi, Lately I've developed some frustration towards FreeBSD. Mainly how it handles upgrades and updates. So, I want to give my two cents. This is by no means intended as an anry rant or anything. The FreeBSD community has always been kind to me and I don't mean to offend anyone. I just want to...

    Restoring ezjail-admin snapshots

    It is true that every jail resides on its own ZFS filesystem. But if I let ezjail-admin handle making the snapshots. I rather let ezjail-admin handle te rollbacks too. If only I knew how to do that properly... :confused:

    Restoring ezjail-admin snapshots

    Hi, There is plenty of information on how to make snapshots with ezjail-admin. But nowhere can I find any information on how to rollback those snapshots? So the question is, how do I rollback snapshots, taken with ezjail-admin? Thanks! :)

    Multiple Gateways

    I'm not sure where you got this, but I'm not using multiple nics for the same subnet. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding? My FreeBSD-server handles routing/firewalling for multiple subnets. And each subnet is connected to the FreeBSD-server on it's own nic. Two of these subnets are connected to our...

    Multiple Gateways

    First of all, apologies for the late response. I had to put this project on hold for a while. But yesterday I finally had the time to pick it up again. I managed to get accessing the server over both lines working, thanks to the examples Bobi B. provided. I can now SSH to my server, using both...

    Multiple Gateways

    Hi, I have a bit of a luxury problem on my hands. Since last week we got antoher fiber connection to the internet. That's right. We have not one, but two fiber lines :cool: However, this presents me with a problem I didn't anticipate. After activating the connection and testing it, everything...

    Solved Samba character encoding

    Well, of course it was going to create problems. It resulted in files in all the other shares becoming invisible. Basically flipping the problem around. Why keeps stuff like this biting us in he ass? The silver lining is that at least I knew where the problem was. And eventually I managed to...
