    Solved First time porting - setting up Poudriere-devel and it's slow

    Hi, for a start - works with ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel - add -b latest to the poudriere bulk ... command. If that does not work - try ports-mgmt/poudriere-dsh2dsh instead - its a modified Poudriere that uses packages more when its not needed to rebuild them with custom options. Regards, vermaden

    Migrate from TrueNAS Core to vanilla FreeBSD

    I did not yet had time to try Sylve on my hosts ... but with ZFS features such as 'zfs set mountpoint=(...)' or 'zfs rename ...' to move dataset into other place - I do not see any issues here.

    Migrate from TrueNAS Core to vanilla FreeBSD

    As vault.io seems to take longer for its next update/release - you may as well migrate to SYLVE - https://github.com/AlchemillaHQ/Sylve - nice web interface and ZFS pool management.

    FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE - issues, strange issues.

    Yep - I got mine in 2025 - up till then I was happy with W520 :) ... and I still keep many X220 or W520 or T520 (with 4C/8T CPU) machines :] There was time when original T25 was available in my city for $1100 - in NEW condition - back then (in 2018) I thought it was 'too expensive' ... time...
