What memory counters are increasing? Is it possible that you are touching new pages, increasing the address mapped space, rather that just using more memory?

If Valgrind is happy it is more likely a memory fragmentation issue.

Well, hello, systemd for FreeBSD.

Colors become a clown car blur. For errors just give me gray or bold or red or yellow and that's all one needs if they need it at all

Can anyone help with what parameters are required here?

I was very pleasantly surprised when I logged on to see a lot of very constructive and thoughtful comments. Thank you all for that! 🏞️🤩 Yesterday I was avoiding logging on at all because I was dreading having to potentially deal with some kind...

Doesn't a jail need a different IP address to the host?

It's still relevant, I haven't done it before, so I don't know if it's right.

I recommend you attempt to experience FreeBSD from a serial terminal. You will realise that colors and special escape characters make the experience much, much worse for new and experienced users. The use of serial in the casual consumer space is...

I'm always struggling with reading poudriere build logs of ports that use colorized outputs in editors to determine actual errors.:eek: With this (a plenty of) experiences, my opinion is to output without colorization and prepare log readers...

I disagree. Aesthetic is important and is not only a GUI thing. Due to readability. Linux dmesg, in opposite to *BSD dmesg, are difficult to read for me. Colors and ornaments may make them more unreadable, due to distraction. All is the question...

Using user/pass for banking account should be prohibited via regulation. It is akin to a clerk checking the name and numbers on ID card but not bothering to look at the picture and the person. I was after-hours in a largeish (for this market)...

As I read the monsterous OP my blood pressure started boiling: another who wants to convert a professional expert system OS into consumer drivvel...so after reading all the responses I'm somewhat calmed by those who are attempting to talk OP off...

FreeBSD supports serial console, so colorizing outputs could cause boots to slowing down (even if video console is fast enough, kernel / init and following rc scripts need to wait for output to serial console to finish) if serial console is...

You might consider focusing on this for the time being. Understand it well, experience its pain points so that you are better informed and can explain clearly how a new method will improve things. Even better, build a prototype and present some...

I am still trying to understand how this would make the init system better... 🤔

Adding moving parts to a system for aesthetic reasons is not the most attractive proposal I've ever seen. Improvements are always welcome, but aesthetics aren't exactly a factor for a system that is more often than not managed remotely over SSH...

balanga Of course. It's all software. The hardware doesn't matter.

Is it possible to create a jail on a VPS?

I still believe ME is a bogeyman. The situation that arose is due to everlasting waterfall of server-chip features into consumer chips. But server motherboards are far more expensive. Only the lowest of them had a single 1 GB interface back then...

pkg search mysql and then grep for anything in that but I don't see anything called mysql-community-server

The best thing about BSD is that it doesn't really change drastically in a decade. So not only did they bump the thread, but they will also be disappointed.

Bumping an almost 10 years old thread? really?

Depending upon your systems, it should be fairly easy to make a bhyve install, using uefi as loader, for both. A very old article by Greg Lehey, once summed it up well. He wrote to look at their slogans. OpenBSD's slogan at the time was something...

A computer wasn't able to see a USB with cp'd Win10 ISO at all Legacy or UEFI (tried a few mins ago); on Linux it appeared as UDF in GNOME Disk Utility and files looked ok on mount

Easiest board yet 😁 Was looking around the board on a random Dell 2-in-1; I've only heard rumors of a jumper 😆

You could use pico if you don't want it to be like GNU.

For me the downloadable ISO did boot but got hung up in something later. Details escape me now.

As I posted before: google has proved to be unreliable in this, and many other, matters. I avoided using dd because google told me not to. That may have been one of many mistakes I made. I put this into google: freebsd dd might not work for...

wget2 for simultaneous download. Accepts the same options as wget.

It looks like plain file copy to FAT32/NTFS and readable by UEFI (no Legacy/CSM/MBR support); afaik that's the trickiest part to a Windows USB and I don't like command-line partition management :p (usually use WoeUSB from Linux LiveUSB or Rufus...

.

Just a word of warning. Last time I had to reinstall Windows 10 the downloadable iso files did not actually work. I had to download their iso file maker program and run that on an existing windows machine to make a usb stick.

I've never seen a Windows ISO boot after dd to USB, but not sure on specifics If the computer being installed to is UEFI, you can likely copy the ISO contents to a FAT32 USB and select it from boot loader (my Dell also supports NTFS for large...

Write iso to the first USB drive da0 in blocks of 100MB: dd if=file.iso of=/dev/da0 bs=100m While writing, press ctrl-t to see any progress per block. Process end without error means succesful. Check the result: gpart show da0 or fdisk /dev/da0...

I second this. That's exactly what I said with: Development has to be efficient and effective. IMHO it is not efficient to solve an edge use case at all costs. Great, if someone prepares a solution in their spare time. Call me old-fashioned...

They found a toaster it does not run on.

On a shell from tmux: cu -l /dev/ttyxxx -s 115200 And by the way, you can also run a program on a tmux window or pane directly, not calling first a shell.

Not actually the answer for your question itself, but topics about NetBSD (and any other OS'es) are not at all off-topic if the question is about running NetBSD on FreeBSD via Bhyve as one of guest OS'es, and posted in Emulation and...

With screen /dev/ttyxxx 115200 I get a fully functional serial console. I'm not sure what kind of task separation you are asking about. What specific functionality of cu?

I have samba installed and working, but i need to change the location of samba logs from default /var/log/samba4/ to /var/log/, so i did change log file to my own path: After restart (testparm did not complain) samba created expected files in...

Hi. Am I doing this correctly? After upgrading my system from FreeBSD 14.3 to 14.4, I do the following: What about the jail environment, updating outdated system files in jail? Right?

You can replace 595.58.03 in the link to any "actually released" version you want, at least for several recent ones per branch (580, 590, 595, 610, ...). Yes, it would be me, in whichever Nvidia thread or NVIDIA GTX 1080i support how? thread. 😁

See this for pointers. But the review for it is now abandoned for large reworks.
