Consulting google, chatgpt, forum, I was very worried about losing 1TB of data that I cannot lose. All I want to do is bring the data from a Linux ext4 partition to another disk on FreeBSD UFS. I read in several places that I should use fusefs-ext4fuse, So I prepare myself, I try to understand...

I have a Sabrent 4 disk dock with spinning disks and ssds for game storage on my system. When I have the dock turned on at boot the boot fails. I initially, per the handbook, had all drives in fstab. I have since removed them and created a mount script to load after boot. Is there a way that I...

Hello there, long time lurker, but haven't posted. seems I've found what I needed to survive for 15 years until this day. I have an interesting situation that I've trying to resolve.... I have a hard drive (4Tb) that has a lot of important content on it I was using on a FreeNAS (NAS4free)...

Introduction: This is a guide on how to dual boot windows 11 and FreeBSD 14. I recently received a fantastic laptop that happens to be surprisingly compatible with FreeBSD, so I highly recommend it, and no, I am not sponsored by MSI; I have merely fought enough laptops to recognize a keeper when...

I'm sure you are going to say "YES" but please not so fast. 1. When installing FreeBSD 14.0, I am offered the choice between ZFS and UFS. If I select ZFS, the option to encrypt is there, very clear, impossible to miss. If I select UFS though, encryption is never mentioned at all. Does FreeBSD...

I have a 300gb external HDD that I am trying to partition entirely for FreeBSD, then format with UFS filesystem. I am using newfs -j option to enable Soft Updates + Journal, but getting the warning message "Journal file fragmented" after the format is complete. # gpart show /dev/da0 =>...

I have a situation where a user accidentally deleted all of the photos in a directory and its sub-directories, ironically to save some space in preparation for a backup. (Helpful hint: Wise Duplicate File Remover apparently removes the originals along with the duplicates). The photos in question...

I've been happily using 13.2-RELEASE for a while, with ufs filesystem Now planning to setup a fresh14.0 system on some old~ish hardwares, likely a combination of modest SSD and a single spinning drive. 14.0 system will just be used for a simple desktop, and various small projects. Most likely I...

I've been facing a problem for a while. My system sometimes suddenly reboots by itself. I thought my surge protector was ruined and bought another one. But finally I found out that FreeBSD file system is corrupted. This happened to me so many times and it was really annoying. I (almost) solved...

Hey! I have a newbie question. I have a USB enclosure with a 1TB SATA 2.5" Spinning disk. I have followed this guide, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/ but I don't want the disk in fstab as it's detachable. I have mounted the disk with 'mount /dev/da0 /media/da0' which works...

I'm attempting to share a home partition between my WSL2 (Debian) and FreeBSD (dual-boot). wsl cannot mount the partition containing the home filesystem since it is on the same disk as the C: drive. Same output for `ufs2' The partition number is correct EDIT: This is salient...

I'm new to FreeBSD, and right now I'm practicing installing and setting it up in VirtualBox on a Linux machine. What are the disadvantages e.g. by using UFS. So far I have used Clonezilla for Bcakup of my computers. Clonezilla cannot backup ZFS. What do I do if I choose ZFS file system. I have...

Do you anybody script how to create memstick for sdcard with UFS ? I have script only for create zfs memstick. Thank you

I have one SSD where FreeBSD is installed. I also have a spinning HDD where I keep my data. This spinning HDD is EXT4 since I was using Linux before. FreeBSD's support for EXT4 is very nice. I don't feel I am using a non native filesystem. Everything is working smoothly. My question is if I...

With UFS: how best to write zeros (or whatever) into free space? In this case: to allow better compaction of the underlying virtual disk. (Above: 73 G, compacted, for a system that uses only 12 G.)

I finally have created an experimental BSD Project called CultBSD it uses uzip compressed with zstd level 19 compression its pretty fast.
