That's what I was missing! Thank you, T-Daemon!!!

I'm running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3 with ZFS as VM guest and just increased its HDD size by 20GB and the zpool is not auto-expanding even though it's set to. I tried expanding it manually and that's not working either. What am I doing wrong? #gpart show => 40 146800560 da0 GPT...

Is there no other way?

For comparison (diskinfo -ctv): da0 (SSD based): /dev/da0 512 # sectorsize 53687091200 # mediasize in bytes (50G) 104857600 # mediasize in sectors 0 # stripesize 0 # stripeoffset 6527 # Cylinders according to...

That's a good thought! But compiling to a RAM disk didn't make much of a difference in terms of performance: real 11m19.541s user 445m7.060s sys 26m35.989s

I just tested 13.0-RELEASE-p10 build on a VM with 64 CPU cores. Here is the result: >>> World build completed on Fri Apr 1 15:53:24 EDT 2022 >>> World built in 689 seconds, ncpu: 64, make -j112 -------------------------------------------------------------- real 11m29.304s user...

I need to be able to log SFTP activity for multiple chrooted users (potentially 20+). I've been adding syslogd_flags for each user to /etc/rc.conf as follows: syslogd_flags="-s -l /ftproot/user1/dev/log -l /ftproot/user2/dev/log"... It's not particularly pretty and if I remember correctly...

Unfortunately that's not a possible option for me at this point.

I'm running into an issue where SSH sessions stall/freeze after upgrading a VMWare guest from FreeBSD 11.3 to 12.1. The issue surfaces while trying to run the ls command in a directory containing lots of files, for example. It's also pretty apparent when executing the following script...

Thanks! I re-blacklisted i915kms again and added the following to rc.conf but it didn't work: i915kms_load="YES" so instead, I used: kld_list="${kld_list} i915kms" That loads the module at startup. I still would like to know if there is a way to change the resolution to something higher...

I've been messing with this for a bit and I finally have a thin console font by setting: hw.vga.textmode=0 ...in /boot/loader.conf Unfortunately the console resolution is still 640x480. Setting the following does not help: i915kms_load="YES" kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768" Initially...

Thanks for the info! Does anyone know what driver to use with the following virtual display adapter? vgapci0@pci0:0:8:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x53531414 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Microsoft Corporation' device = 'Hyper-V virtual VGA' class = display...

What's the trick to making it work in 12.0 VM guest (Hyper-V / Windows Server 2012 R2 host)? It looks like the hyper-v modules are built by default but this command displays no available options: vidcontrol -i mode I want to configure a thin console font like this: Thanks!

I guess I'm ignorant about how WHOIS queries work. I thought they used authoritative servers - similar to how DNS works. I don't see how idiots registering ns entries with their registrar would cause the problem. You can't add authoritative NS servers for any other domain but your own with the...

What's the default WHOIS server that gets queried when running the whois command? I'm getting rather "interesting" results (profanity) when doing: whois microsoft.com I tried the same command on an Ubuntu system and it works fine. I'm guessing Ubuntu uses a different WHOIS server. Thanks!

It looks like my current zpool is on /dev/da0p3: # zpool status pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 da0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0 Swap is on /dev/da0p2. I'm not sure what /dev/da0p1 is used for. I any case, I added...

I decided to go with ZFS afterall. Is there a way to change the block size after the system is up and running. If needed, I could add a second/mirror drive to the ZFS pool, then take one off the drives offline and do what needs to be done to it. Thanks!

In any case, I would like to know how to specify sector size when installing FreeBSD. What's the magic to do that? Thanks!

Good question. I was planning to set it up on UFS but now I'm thinking that ZFS is the way to go.

8K is the optimal sector size for the hyper-converge platform our VMWare cluster uses. I want to set-up a new FreeBSD 10.2 VM on it. What's the best way to configure sector size while installing the OS? Thanks!
