If it is possible to attach both SSDs to the system, you could temporarily create a mirrored zpool by using zpool attach <pool> <olddev> <newdev> Wait for resilvering to complete, and then zpool detach <pool> <olddev>. I did this once to upgrade the only drive in machine (with only two drive...

Actually, it is possible to have more than one zpool on a disk (or disks), but it is strongly not recommended. ZFS performance is based on it having the whole disk, and managing all the I/O requests. The two zpools would not know about each other I/O demands, and result in poor performance. I...

I know that the second hex is the inode, the first hex is probably the dataset. Though usually it is capable of identifying it by name, though perhaps that info is lost. If you can figure out the dataset, you could do a find <path> -inum ## -delete to make the corrupt file go away. I found...

One difference I noticed for FreeBSD has a wcommitsize parameter, set to 16MB. This sets the maximum amount of data that the client will cache writes before sending it to the server. Linux doesn't have this parameter, seems its normal behavior is delay sending writes until memory pressure...

From what I've read, most laptop bios's will freeze drives before hand off to the OS, so if you want the drive unlocked then the only time you can do it is when the bios prompts for it (before it get's frozen.) To thaw a drive, requires power cycling or hardware reset. The Dreamer.

I think swap on SSD is a strong candidate for being the issue. I don't have any Crucial SSDs, but I know that my system would often hang when I was using a Corsair SSD for swap. Though I haven't had issues doing swap on SanDisk SSDs. Though those SSDs are only doing SATA-II, while I have the...

What an interesting old thread to have stumbled upon.... I use SATA disks in 5 bay port multiplier, using both a Sil3124 and a Sil3132 controller. (I have 10 drives connected to my Sil3132, and 5 new drives on the Sil3124.) I was working on migrating from a 6 disk zpool that had been done on...

if only the pkg upgrade, had moved things when REPLACE_BASE suddenly vanished on me and left me scrambling to get services back up. Though cleaning up from mess caused by upgrading to 9.9.7-P1, is something I still haven't gotten around to resolving. But actual disruption was due to unrelated...

I realize this is an old thread...but I came across this thread in looking to see how to do pretty much the same thing.... This seems to be normal, set named_program in /etc/rc.conf to point to the port's named, and update named_conf, if needed. Since I had previously installed bind on base...

Well, I'm stuck on FreeBSD 9.3, while I don't have to be, its just easier to support just the one release. Plus it would be a lot of work to change our current configuration management system to support two releases of FreeBSD. Another admin had been working on adding Solaris 11, which proved...

I have two SFF servers, using Atom D2700, so the maximum memory I can have is 4GB. Only have a 120G SSD in each, but I'm doing ZFS and they've been working great. Though they mainly run tedious apps like: ntp, dns/bind99, net/freeradius2 (for auth onto my home wifi network)...

This can be fine, if you're using their domain, or using a domain that doesn't have a restrictive SPF or doesn't have an SPF at all. OTOH, if you are using domains that have restrictive SPF (and possibly other measures), then your messages might end up in spam folder or rejected. Or what...

I had toyed with making a patch to have a DEFAULT_VERSION= nvidia=340 setting, because my home computer's card stopped at 340, and my work computer's card stopped at 304. And, then have the port do USES=nvidia to have frame add the dependency. But, lost track of everything and abandoned it...

Hopefully soon...my chromium-40.0.2214.115_1 is starting to feel dated. But, that's the last version I have that works. What ever is spinning at 100% seems to preventing it from syncing with google, and contact with most of the world. (of saying its wait on an extension, which in its state...

Speaking of the sqlite database, is there anything to deal with corruption or other issues? When I converted one machine to pkg, feels like something went wrong, because pkg operations are much slower than they were pkg_* operations. I recall that I tried an 'optimize' (dump and reload), but...

With my ports-mgmt/poudriere, I currently have WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=YES in all my make.conf's. I made a hack so that it will abort if any port tries to depend on security/openssl. Just as I used to block if any port tried to depend on security/gnutls3, because it had a dependency for...

I suspect, that the filesystem layout on the appliances remains constant over its lifetime. There are plenty of systems that can happily run for years without need to change their layout or storage. Just as there are systems with volume management that have been run for years with change --...

Which GSSAPI option are you using for ftp/curl ? I would suspect one of the versions from ports would be needed, and that version would need to have been built using openssl from ports. It's on my todo list to go through all the options for my installed ports to straighten out some of the...

I recall reading about FreeBSD on ARM based Chromebooks, but I find the specs so low that I've questioned how usable it would be. They're barely tolerable in their native state. Though I did get a newer Chromebook recently, so it is something I might consider doing in the future...except that...

I had made a donation back when dyndns was free, so now that, IIRC, become a $40/year service, I have it free for life. I also use dns/ddclient to handle updates. I expose a variety of services on a FreeBSD server setup on the DMZ IP behind my router (which was necessary as I had run out of...
