The Linux swap partition uses a 4096-byte header that holds the label & UUID. You can see the structure here. FreeBSD doesn't use a header at all. The problem is thus how to prevent FreeBSD from overwriting the header. It turns out there's a neat way to do just that with GEOM using the...

With the release 14.0, I plan to switch to FreeBSD as my main OS. Unfortunately, some of the programs I use work only on Linux, so I will still have to boot to Linux from time to time. I am wondering how to structure my storage. In my notebook, I can place 4 disks in total, 3 SSDs (2 NVMe M.2 +...

Red Hat moved today to change / restrict access to RHEL sources. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36420259 Certainly off topic, but perhaps of interest to / point of discussion for FreeBSD users.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share an article that I recently wrote about migrating from Proxmox to FreeBSD's bhyve hypervisor. The article covers the process of migrating virtual machines, storage, and networking from Proxmox to bhyve, and includes tips and tricks that I learned along the way...
