ufs

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...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to expand my root partition but can't do it, I tried gpart, I also tried deleting the swap partition and adding more space, here is the result : root@appserver:~ # gpart show => 63 83886017 ada0 MBR (40G) 63 1 - free - (512B) 64...

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...

sysutils/lsof Background – and so on. Now Good news. Significant improvements ahead: https://github.com/lsof-org/lsof/pull/184 Related FreeBSD bugs include: 253553 – sysutils/lsof: no zfs support on 13 260235 – sysutils/lsof: filenames missing on FreeBSD >= 13, due to namecache field...

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.

Hello! I have two gmirrors on my machine. Both are showing up as degraded. These are brand new drives that I just installed (so I don't mind blowing up the configuration and re-doing things). I followed this guide to get going as I have no experience with gmirror...

So I made a blunder today. I was working on the tensorflow 2.x port and I was clearing up getting ready to commit it to git. During the clearing up, I went to rm some test files I had, but during my impatience, I tab completed the name which complete to files/ and deleted all my patches for...

Hello everyone, I have an extra hard drive and I would like to use it for small backups, How can I format it in UFS and add it in fstab?

I was planning to use a second hard disk as a backup for documents and files. I'm not sure what format to use ext4 / ntfs / ufs to be able to access it from FreeBSD and Win10 since I have dual boot. When I was using Linux I used a program from Windows to access ext4., But with ufs I don't know...

Why not ZFS by default? Images are compressed before distribution. I assume that compression is very effective for: non-used space (free, never used) in file systems non-used swap space. Why is there so little free space in the file system for the base OS? Why is so little of the disk given...
