Just wondering if it has been considered to not auto select dos for the disk if the disk is detected to be over 2TB? GPT works but it'd be nice to have it just work automatically?

Hello all, Finding myself at a crossroad. Need to transfer my home files to a new zpool with bigger drives but not sure if I should get smaller but more cost-effective HDD and wait for SSD prices to drop in the next 5 years or so, OR should I get bigger and costlier HDD for future-proofing...

Howdy :) If I understood correctly, bsdinstall recommends to turn off SUJ for SSD but what is recommended for HDD?

I setup this HDD with zfs but no swap, now even with 32GB of ram I am running into issues related to swap. I created a swap file but I've been told that's a bad idea and can lead to deadlocks. My goal is to eventually debug the programs that I am using to see how to lower their memory usage but...
