For years now, I've been setting up my FreeBSD servers with GELI encrypting nearly the entire disk (except for boot stuff). Long ago I did this manually, but in recent years I've been letting the standard FreeBSD installer process do it for me. When the machine powers up, it boots as far as...

I have two separate jails that are not visible to each other. There is no sharing of tun* interfaces in the devfs.rules. However, when I create the tun0 interface in Jail 1, I encounter difficulties creating the same interface, tun0, in Jail 2. Upon attempting, I receive a message indicating...

Hello dear FreeBSD gurus. Not sure this topic fits in here, feel free to move the topic if it's not correct. What i'm trying to do is to install Caprover (caprover.com) on a guest os on my FreeBSD host machine. I'm doing virtualization with bhyve. This is not the relevant part though ;) So...

Is there a way to get the full line speed of the NIC in a jail or bhyve ? I have a server with a mlx5en(4) NIC, a Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx 2x25G. I would like to setup it as a router and provide a wan for the internal vms /jails and others machines. Unfortunately there is an issue using SRV-IO...
