    Other How to mount NetBSD FFS filesystem under FreeBSD

    Hello folks, I need to mount a NetBSD FFS disk but through XFCE4 I can mount it only in read mode. I was convinced that Unix filesystems were compatible across all the BSD families. I wonder if I can mount it with: # mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/$PARTITION /mnt/netbsd Hint found...

    Share your NetBSD experience (for FreeBSD users)

Including, if you've used NetBSD for complementary use with FreeBSD, such as needing hardware support for access. Keep in mind: why-is-freebsd-not-more-like.66591.

    FreeBSD kernel change to NetBSD kernel

    As stated in the title, I would like to change the kernel of my Unix build from FreeBSD to NetBSD, as I prefer the philosophy of the rump kernel to that of a monolithic, but prefer the lexicography and semantics of FreeBSD's system applications. The current build is FreeBSD, with only sudo...

    UFS Is there a generic driver to use Raid cards as regular SATA cards?

    Is there a way to use a RocketRaid or any Raid card as a regular SATA interface on FreeBSD? I'm hoping that there's a generic driver that treats about any PCI card with a SATA interface as a regular SATA interface, regardless of whether it uses any RAID or other features. It's a RocketRaid...

    One NetBSD user's perspective on using FreeBSD

    I came across the following article online: https://washbear.neocities.org/freebsd-netbsd-user.html It's interesting, for sure, but I'm curious how accurate it is. Among other items, the author claims FreeBSD's init system is derived from NetBSD's and that pkg comes from NetBSD's pkgsrc. I...

    Hello, I've just setup a NAS running NFS on NetBSD. I can automatically mount the directory over NFS with the fstab entry: x.x.x.:/samsMegaStorage /mnt/storage nfs rw 0 0 (where x.x.x.x is the Ip address of the server) However when I mount it using sudo mount -a the owner of...

    FreeBSD RC vs NetBSD RC?

    Are they compatible? And compatible to which extent? Could I reuse RC scripts of a pkgsrc port for my FreeBSD port? Thanks.

    Should FreeBSD port NetBSD's NVMM?

    No problem with Bhyve, just to have more option. Dragonfly doesn't have any hypervisor, so it's more important to them. But I think no thing prevents NVMM on FreeBSD other than the developers' lack of interest. https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2020/08/31/24900.html

    An unexpected contender: NetBSD

    IMHO, the current state of NetBSD now is very similar to FreeBSD 9. It has working ZFS support but not yet able to do root on ZFS. It has two hypervisors: HAXM (via qemu-haxm) and NVMM (via qemu-nvmm). Within a few releases, I think it could catch up with FreeBSD. NetBSD now is not just for...
