I've been using 12.1-RELEASE-p1 on my desktop machine for awhile now with encrypted root on ZFS. Today I decided to switch the pkg config from quarterly to latest (maybe not the best choice). The pkg upgrades went smooth, but after rebooting I was presented with a "mountroot>" prompt. I took a...

Hello. I've bought a new server for my shop. Dell T130 with just 1 2TB hdd just for hosting bhyve vms. I installed zfs as root dir. Is it possible that zfs slows a mere file move? I moved an ISO from my home dir to cbsd src iso directory and I took longer than I expected. To make things certain...

Hey guys, We still have couple of servers with FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE because of [1], unfortunately this is not fixed in FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE and I'm not able to find a release schedule for FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE. Obviously I can go with 11-STABLE but will add lot of management to our team and...

I have read the release schedule info on FreeBSD-12, but just when is a good time to install or upgrade? Could be on the early BETA release side, or just wait until after the official release. Comments and criticism are welcome.

Hi. Many posts on this forum have helped me get started . I am using the TP-Link WN 725N usb adapter on my FreeBSD 11.2 (a standard adapter for which a driver is available). The adapter is detected, but is not able to connect to my Wi-Fi network. Strangely, it also detects all my neighbouring...

Hi all, I'm seeking advice on how to safely replace a disk that's currently part of a ZFS array. In particular, I don't recall exactly how I installed things in the first place (it was a while ago), so help reconstructing necessary gpart and zfs steps would be greatly appreciated. As I...

I do not understand why gpart thinks that 4k alignment means starting first partition at sector 41, instead of usual 40. Sector size is 512, so 4k alignment should result in starting 40. [root@cyan ~]# gpart create -s GPT ada0 ada0 created [root@cyan ~]# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 1024 ada0...

I am currently playing with some various ARM boards. And I ask myself: is there a way to identify a board in userland? For example, on nanopi neo, the kernel seems to know what board it is: Eg. the presence of led device (/dev/led/nanopi*). sysctl -a return nothing signifiant except processor...

Firstly, hello everyone, I'm new around here. So this weekend I had some spare time so I decided to try FreeBSD out. Install went smoothly. I installed xfce4 and xdm. Upon booting up, I get directed to the login screen after about a minute. Here is the problem though. I type in my user's name...
