I tried to be as precise as possible but here it is again: L2ARC on NV (non-volatile) storage: 1-3% of what it caches = 2 x 40-120 GB on 2 NV (fast, NVMe) SSDs to cache 2 x 4 TB zpools (MIRROR and SCRATCH) on 2 rotating HDDs (6 TB each) => the...

FreeBSD, as any unix, offer a lot of possibilities for building something like a NAS, special in FreeBSD is ZFS with its zpool scrub. You can boot with pxeboot, mount with nfs, or send files with rsync, etc. But the biggest problem I always...

Status to satisfy Alain De Vos Storage: 2 x SATA III rotating HDD 6 TB (datacenter quality), used, 1 arrived a minute ago, one still missing because crazy <censored> bid moon-prices for used hardware 2 x NVMe 1.3 M.2 SSD 256 GB (poor to medium...

Hm, does work for me. I'm using (I do like to have access to monitor for handful of reaons): qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test.qcow2 \ -m 2048 \ -nographic \ -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:10101,server,nowait I'm not sure what's FreeBSD checking during...

You're so young. ;) In the beginning there was init. Berkeley (BSD) tweaked it a little while AT&T created SYSV's init. Sun came out with an init that worked with their SMF (services) daemon. But init was still there and could be used in SYSV...

Yes, mission creep and the ratchet effect are mere figments of our own imagination.

I've been interested in trying Void for musl: https://voidlinux.org/ although Alpine might be interesting too (it's the base for postmarketOS and I could run the same OS desktop, server, and phone :cool:) Is there a concise reason why systemd...

Instead of building the dependencies from ports one can install them as packages with the install-missing-packages ports target. Afterwards, remove them with pkg-autoremove. Before confirming the deletion process, check if there is a package...

https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/24/foss_age_verification/?td=rt-3a The direction of travel for systemd could be good news for systemd-free Arch variant Artix Linux, and indeed for other systemd-free distros from Adélie to Alpine to antiX. ®

That's normal behavior. They are never removed and there are no Periodic script or cron job that cleans them up. They are preserved in case you need to do a system rollback. Once you've tested that everything is running smoothly, you can remove...

What is the disadvantage of providing a ZVOL to a non-COW fs VM? I'd like to have it all on ZFS if at all possible, so that zpool and geom do not interfere. Unfortunately we should not swap to a zvol, although this is explicitely handled in one...

johnjohn You could throw half those books away and not be worse for it. Don't get bogged down by them. You've collected too many trees for your forest.

Speaking of different collection classes, here is a psychological test whether you are "compatible" with C++: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p0447r21.html This introduces a new collection class. It does clever things...

Better to file a PR so that the bug is properly tracked. Also, once the right assignee is picked in the PR it will be forwarded to freebsd-fs@.

Good guess: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy21/build.html?mastername=150amd64-quarterly&build=05fed70d47d6 . "Reason: Blacklisted" See also...

If you entered the root password multiple times you did build dependencies as well. Even if your desired port is not available as a package most or all build dependencies will be. Install them as packages before building the main port. And you...

You might want to provision storage to a VM which is not ZFS on the server side, e.g. using a mirror'd UFS file system. See my comments re COW client file systems provisioned on COW server file systems above. ZFS terminology can get intense. I...

Have a nice day. See you later. Me now in the process of putting a NVME zpool special device , single point of failure onto a mirrored special device on SSD.

Again a WW2 'fantasy'. The dreadnought battleship type was crown of WW1-era developments, it had thorough fat armor protection throughout. But it was heavy and slow. Designers realized they could strip armour from various parts of the ship...

The most stupid is starfleet academy. They are attacked in front. The commander orders on bridge "move all shields forward". How more stupid can it get.

Thanks. Still a bit rocky. The serial console loses keyboard input when userland starts. The curses console has rendering errors, in particular the last line on screen is not drawn at all which makes editing challenging. What I really want is...

Some hour after midnight around 2 or 3am in the US, not sure if there's certain days of the week (perhaps not on weekends when a lot of people are up), they're allowed to play a lot of uncensored content on the radio. Many radio stations don't...

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not a ipfw user so never looked for one. But the general gist is to query the contents of the table (sort the results), then use drill -Q mysite.example.com (sort those results too), and compare both outputs...

Ah, thank you. That's the word I wanted.

This is a problem with building ports in-place in general. And why package builders like poudriere and Synth build in a "clean-room" environment. You also have the problem with various ./configure scripts enabling options/dependencies even if...

Use a table. Add/remove IP addresses to/from the table, not rewrite an entire rule. Also makes it easier to compare.

Thanks for that. It looks like my update to /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf wasn't done properly. I've changed it, restarted and it exists now.

Yes the socket is created when the php-fpm is started. ssl_module is for https when you have valid SSL certificate socache_shmcb_module is shared cache provider if you don't plan to use it don't enable it.

As -nographic sets the console to stdio you need to have serial console enabled to see it. On FreeBSD that means console=comconsole in /boot/loader.conf. Not sure if multicons was supported in those early versions. If you have qemu compiled with...

This may be the third time I mentioned it here but I believe the internet will eventually be licensed and regulated in the same way or fashion that radio and TV airwaves are regulated. The internet today is like the wild west of radio back when...

Ah! No problem. The code is commented.

It was the tentacles, yes?

Sure, see below. Just to be clear: I am running several Windows 11 guests with graphics enabled and using RDP to actually interact with the client. I am doing this on different hosts with different hardware ranging from an i7-1185 laptop all the...

I'm on 14.3 and I was about to do a pkg upgrade and also saw that it wanted to remove kde. Have had stuff like this happen before, which is no fun, so I watch for it now and didn't proceed. Not sure if I still just need to wait, or maybe just...

So, now that I've tried Vbox and found it's performance lacking, I've got a lot of feedback that I should try BHYVE. However, I'm finding a lot 'half' instructional documents. I'd like to get BHYVE running on FreeBSD14 HOST and Windows 11...

It works. Thank you everybody, especially Martin. The final obstacle was a QEMU issue that has been nagging me forever. The window it opens when you don't use -nographics doesn't work for remote displays (probably using SDL for something). But...

Fortunately, C code is usually clean, clear, readable and understandable. For example, it should be obvious that the following (valid) C program ... define _ -F<00||--F-OO--; int F=00,OO=00; main(){F_OO();printf("%1.3f\n",4.*-F/OO/OO);}F_OO() {...

I believe so. I may be mistaken about what specifically was under these and similar terms.

Alan, I'm still waiting for the 1st 6 TB HDD to arrive, and ATM I have the 1st NVMe but the 2nd comes tomorrow or thursday or friday. Ok? And I still have to "shoot" a 2nd SATA HDD with 6 TB, which is not so easy because some nerds are paying...

Ok. So my naive plan to have 2 x 64 = 128 GB L2ARC cache (50/50 for the mirror and the scratch) is nonsense, because this would need 2 x 6.4 = 13 GB of RAM. And I have only 16 GB total. So either I cut down the size of the cache drastically or...

Well, here you at least get the proper output and not the error. Your original issue from newish loader was an error. As we don't know what you're unpacking with that tar image it's hard to say.
