Note that the discussed implemenation is abandoned for now for large reworks. Stay tuned!

Ouch. That's quite the chunk of code to do over.

Not anymore. I once put raid1 and raid0 Linux md support into CCD, but it never made it into GEOM. `file -s /dev/<partition` is the way to find out which filesystem is on a partition. I don't know whether it knows about md raid and LVM.

This is a good reason for *you* but there is no need to generalize. If anything we need more people who can donate their time to improving FreeBSD. Being curious is a good first step. Initially everyone flails about, trying to figure things out...

I was able to build i386 wine-devel-11.10,1.pkg with poudriere 14.4i386 jail. The base system is FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p6 GENERIC amd64. My /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf contains OPTIONS_UNSET+=WAYLAND WITHOUT_WAYLAND+=true

Played with bsdinstall & mfsBSD, and here's what I just made: https://gitlab.com/btrgk-lab/freebsd/autobsd Give it a try and let me hear your feedback :)

TBH, if it were me, I'd load up a live Linux USB drive to do filesystem checks and verify the details of the disk. If you've got a large enough spare disk, it's probably easier to just copy the files to that on a disk that's formatted in a way...

What does fstyp tell you?

I would run some default linux in Qemu and add a physical disk as 2nd virtual drive and try to mount it. Linux won't notice. But it's unclear what those disks are. Is it even bootable?

No they aren't bootable.

The best way to access Linux drives on Freebsd Is dont mount them, plug them into a Linux machine and then use syncthing to transfer the files You will have a lot less hassle and faster transfer speeds

Oh crap I completely forgot about LVM stuff. That can be a pain to mount on a foreign system or at least has been in the past when I've tried to recover "work" systems

What does fstyp tell you?

fstyp is giving me ext2.

Was it LVM? You might want to have a look with geom_linux_lvm.

I don't think so, geom doesn't give me any output on the screen.

for ext2/3/4 you can just use # mount -t ext2fs /dev/<device> /mount/path Though if you used md arrays or similar I don't know if that will work. XFS will require the xfs fuse package. But if you go with what mer said about mounting just one...

True, I'm not sure why I put 4 in the command.

Ok. Mirror means "one should be good enough", so I would try unplug one of them, say ada1, then try and mount /dev/ada0s1. If that works, you can poke around, see what's there then swap them: unplug ada0, plug in ada1 (names may change) then...

I guess I could try that. I was too fast, I should at least have broken the mirror before replacing Linux Mint.

What does fstyp tell you?

This is what I have been using: # mkdir -p /tmp/jail/usr/share /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos # echo "FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf # echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" >>...

Was it LVM? You might want to have a look with geom_linux_lvm.

Perhaps that /dev/ada0 is the entire disk and you really only need to mount the linux partition? What does "ls -ltr /dev/ada*" tell you? I'm assuming you should something like /dev/ada0s1 or /dev/ada0p1 which would be the actual Linux...

Yes you're probably right, and they're probably software mirrored too, this is what I get: # ls -ltr /dev/ada* crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x8c Jul 2 15:51 /dev/ada1s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x83 Jul 2 15:51 /dev/ada1 crw-r----- 1 root...

enjoy drowning in slop i guess, none of these things have been worth a single moment of our time and every piece of software that adopts them immediately gets worse. going to continue writing software like normal here

Hello, and welcome. FreeBSD is differently structured than Linux and it has a different boot process, there is no need for separate /boot partition. Unless you run specific server software that uses /var hierarchy there is no need to separate...

Sure. But why? In my opinion there are very few reasons for partitioning. Also depends on whether you will do ZFS or not.

Non wine-devel/normal wine runs 32 bit Windows apps correctly, at least on 14.4-Release

The dirty comes from git and means changes that are not commited. Seems like someone or the build script just applied the patch against the git revision for 15.1 and then compiles, without doing a git commit. It's harmless but feels... dirty...

There's a "tiny" flavor of devel/git. A lot less dependencies. pkg install git-tiny

It turned out that the config that I obtained from Hiddify is not quite suitable for security/xray-core format: it is a one for net/sing-box. So I first had to translate it into security/xray-core format...

No. -STABLE is more or less a beta of the next minor release. -STABLE is a development version.

Are you using any of the jail management tools?

You don't need to use lithium for energy storage. You need that when you have weight to factor in. You can use natrium as well, but the battery is heavier for the same charge. You can also use rubble for storage, as one test project showed. One...

The man page for freebsd-update shows the -j option for specifying a jail name. I have had success using this option -- the procedure is otherwise the same.
