I remember umount being unresponsive and not willing to terminate. Also firefox while it was somehow running an internal routine that prevents it from getting killed until it's finished. It's not arbitrary, I think. Zombie processes and such can...

"man kill" kill sends a signal to the process; I think default is SIGTERM. If a process is not in position to actually accept and process signals (no signal handler, blocked somewhere) the default does not work. "kill -9" as superuser is "KILL...

I totally agree with you on every single statement you've made. Thank you for writing this post! Yes, please, it has really become a problem...

It appears the OP somehow believes the licence propagates throughout the supply chain, which of course it doesn't. He seems to think because I received the code under the BSD licence I am also distributing it with the BSD licence, which I'm not...

I think I could do with an alias such as pkgx which would result in pkg install -y <pkg_to_install> | tee <file_to_save> but not sure how to specify it. Anyone?

It could be a science experiment: a FreeBSD port of a multiplayer dungeon game with AI-generated game mechanics and world but all detaiis can be changed by a person with priority. It's probably going to be psychedelic like those generated videos...

I disagree, AI has helped me out numerous times. It doesn't always give me the correcr solution but often points me in the correct direction.

I'm talking about a temporary boot solution. With something like Ventoy, I can boot FreeBSD from an ISO and once booted I can create a new (small) partition on the available free space left after installing and can install FreeBSD on it by...

rtl8211f phy is a popular a gigabit ethernet phy used in arm sbcs it supports both rgmii and rgmii_id variants (full tx rx) when the gmac node uses it in rgmii mode and the gmac driver sets the delays it works when the gmac node declares the phy...

we replaced LPRng in that role with CUPS as a college sysadmin in the early 2000s. CUPS can absolutely do this. We even added in page accounting that queried the printer for its pagecount register between jobs. :)

You don't actually need fstab to boot. You will end up with mountroot prompt where you can manually enter something like ufs:/dev/da1p2 or somesuch. I always select GPT as the partitioning because I can never remember BSD slices. You just need...

Secure boot is only supported for Windows 8 and up, and some Linux distributions. FreeBSD doesn't support it yet. If you're a beginner I recommend getting more familiar with the system and using packages for now.

Those Dells frequently had power supplies you have to change often. And they don't take ATX PSUs.

My first introduction to ToN was Black Sabbath, a cover of... well, Black Sabbath (I know, shocker!)... from the Nativity in Black tribute album. The first album I bought was Slow, Deep and Hard. And I fell in love with the band. They have such a...

Not doing anything else for years. I have no rolled out FreeBSD system installation. In my opinion this mountroot prompt is only the result of incomplete boot-configuation. It's an unforseen situation, but a PC already has a device order set. If...

I see this message when booting up the server, right before the "boot:" prompt. The system boots successfully, and operates like normal, but this worries me that if something happens maybe it will bite me in the behind. Any idea what does it...

It makes me think the /etc/fstab is incorrect. If you (UFS) install from memstick 1 to memstick 2 as supposed harddrive, it uses the current device number. Next boot without the install memstick makes it device 1. You have to manually change it...

ECC memory can still fail. Are you looking at the syslog? Not to mention CPU or chipset failure. It's also SIGBUS, not SIGSEGV.

You didn't make clear that the actual NFS mount is read-write. If you re-read your header and first post you crealy waffle on about a readonly NFS volume. In any case, it is an unusual situation to have one mount that is partially a readonly...

Wow, that is high. As fernandel is in the US, it's around $780. The one I linked is AMD, 32 G RAM, (but 4 of that, by default, for GPU) 500G NVME--whereas the one I bought was 1TB, but I think drives are also getting more expensive.

Gotta add one more Gintama excerpt which made me laugh. It's a bit over 40 seconds. https://srobb.net/kunren.mp4

The price when I bought them was in the low or mid $300 range, I think. Or maybe $379? Sorry, I really don't remember. When I look at my orders, they only show the current price. The one that I bought is now showing on Amazon for $479...

Not knowing that one does not know is knowledge. Ignorance is knowledge. Double negation. What is problem?

You folks need to read the OP carefully.

"cp .zfs/snapshot/zar.20531/Thiere.txt ." Obviously the target is the ZFS filesystem, otherwise it would not have .zfs in it. You say the ZFS filesystem is mounted readonly. So why do you expect this would work. mv(1) has confusing error...

There's no problem installing on a thumb drive. I have done so many times, and it is very useful to have a backup system if/when needed.

Thank you for the extensive testing. You had gone through some kind of work to test this. I'm just evaluating if my case was important enough and feel thankful. What can I say. Is this important enough? To me it looks like that you had used a...

In addition to potential memory problems, I wouldn't rule out disk problems. I'd keep reliable, up to date backups if I were you and run a few S.M.A.R.T. tests and keep an eye for any sudden CAM status errors/failure messages (tail -f...

Heh I was thinking about that show earlier after reading a post about managing bulk files; I hand-renamed like 200 eps for TVDB scraping with a lot of F2, arrow keys, and pastes :p
