    ZFS Did my new install just waste half the space on my unequal sized zfs mirror root drives?

    Would be useful to see the zpool status and gpart show {nvme device} output to confirm. But yes, if the installer has created a single partition for the OS on each disk and mirrored them, you will only get the space of the smaller disk. You should be able to use zpool detach {pool} {device} to...

    Static IP address assignment practice

    Most ISPs providing large scale Internet access have never needed their customers to manually configure a static address unless it's a dedicated business/enterprise style service (traditionally called a leased line in the UK). You just get assigned the same address each time you connect...

    Sendmail. Copy letters to the email address of a third-party mail server.

    One of the fundamental issues with SPF. We've had this numerous times where our own emails that have SPF enabled have come back because a recipient has had a forward set up but not rewritten the address. I find it a bit messy, but the supposed "correct" solution to this is SRS (sender rewrite...

    Solved Postfixadmin and FreeBSD 13.2 Issue with common.php

    my.cnf is for MySQL, configuration for PHP will be in /usr/local/etc/php.ini. You get a development & production sample file by default and usually have to create the actual php.ini file. Can't remember whether auto_start is on by default if you don't create one but you can find out - Create a...

    Solved Postfixadmin and FreeBSD 13.2 Issue with common.php

    Sounds like session.auto_start is enabled in the PHP configuration and postfixadmin is designed to work with auto_start disabled.

    SATA drives show in BIOS but won't show in /dev

    As far as I can see that device isn't currently supported. The current (as in git head) ahci driver source code shows AMD devices up to 0x43b6, but doesn't cover 0x43f6 and shouldn't be attaching to it. {0x43b61022, 0x00, "AMD X399", 0}, {0x43b51022, 0x00, "AMD 300 Series"...

    ZFS Access data stored inside a Windows formatted iscsi volume

    Sorry, ignore me I'm being dumb. I compared it to a FreeBSD created GPT disk and the GPT header format was exactly the same and in the same place on the disk so there was no reason for gpart to not pick it up. Eventually I realised that nothing else can access the disk when the kernel ctl...

    ZFS Access data stored inside a Windows formatted iscsi volume

    I'm currently testing out using ctld to export some ZFS volumes to Windows clients. It appears fairly straight forward to export the volume via ctld and partition/format the disk on Windows. Just using my Windows 10 machine as a test I initialised a 1TB disk using GPT and created a single NTFS...

    ntpd_enable="YES" is in /etc/rc.conf, but clock is still wrong

    ntpd will exit if the time is too far out. Set the date to something close first. When ntpd is running you can use ntpq -pn to check it is syncing. The actively used server will have a * next to it.

    Unifi7

    You're not logging on from a browser on a Linux machine are you? If I enable the "new" interface (I'm desperately trying to cling on to the legacy one), the dashboard has pretty much nothing on it other than "Version x | Windows 10", and a Windows logo. God knows why they thought it necessary to...

    ZFS ZFS tank mounted as a dataset?

    Yes there a a difference, and everyone else is getting more and more confused by statements such as this: You have a pool with the given name, as listed/managed with the zpool command. This is not mounted anywhere. It is nonsense to suggest a pool can be mounted or written to directly. You...

    ZFS ZFS tank mounted as a dataset?

    Just to make this clear, the pool is called tank, but as a user you do not store any data directly on the pool. There used to be a mistake in the FreeBSD documentation that suggested otherwise, that "/tank" was somehow the pool itself and that you weren't making use of ZFS features without...

    Configure Postfix to reject emails from Spam domains.

    I personally found that greylisting caused too many problems. There are many situations where people are expecting an email such as signing up to a website or waiting for an email whilst talking to the sender on the phone, and the delay just caused issues. There's a couple of blacklists I don't...

    Configure Postfix to reject emails from Spam domains.

    Just to add, it looks like your sender_restrictions entry in postfix config is probably wrong. This is supposed to be a list of restrictions, some of which may take a file as an argument. For example, my client_restrictions (different setting but same format) looks a bit like this -...

    Configure Postfix to reject emails from Spam domains.

    The fact that the emails are still coming through, and apparently pass SPF suggests that - while the "From" text in the email itself says yahoo/msn - this more than likely isn't the address they are providing as the envelope sender during SMTP. What do the postfix logs show for one of these...

    What is sendmail doing?

    Sorry but I absolutely disagree. The solution is to finally remove sendmail from base, a decade after it was first discussed, and get something small and simple that provides the basic requirements of local delivery and smtp forwarding and can be set up with a couple of simple config lines...

    What is sendmail doing?

    Yes I'm sure I looked into this years ago and it had effectively become closed software with maybe the odd fix here and there for the open source version.

    What is sendmail doing?

    Yeah, brilliant start. You need additional packages because the first change made by the average user isn't supported by default, and then you have to recompile part of base. This just backs up my point that configuring a basic feature that many people need is way more awkward than it should be...

    What are the freebsd O.S. things you don't understand ?

    Never really got that or ldap auth (although I only really tried briefly once or twice) Often amazes me that some things, such as centralised auth for a group of systems, has always been so massively confusing and over complicated. Central auth is basically assumed in commercial windows...

    What is sendmail doing?

    People don't condemn sendmail because of its functionality, that makes no sense. They condemn it because it's barely supported, difficult for anyone other than bearded sysadmins to use, and is complete nonsense to be part of base considering the mail functionality required in a standard system...
