Hello. I'm looking to install FreeBSD (Hopefully with KDE) onto my Thinkpad X1Carbon Gen 6. (Samsung 980 SSD/16 GB ram) I'm mostly familiar with linux in general and have tried different distros. I currently run Arch (With KDE and btrfs / not encrypted) and it definitely runs great on my laptop...

Hi People, using freebsd you can encrypt the system pool zroot. But then you have to enter the passphrase on each boot-up. Please, excuse that I do not know that much about geli and the boot up mechanisms in freebsd. I am still learning. As far as I know you can use key files to attach a geli...

Usb and sd cards won't mount, followed other forums posted and wouldn't work, I put usbd_enable="YES" in rc.conf and now it tells me with xconsole if it's plugged in or not.

Ok so here's the thing.: I'm trying to purify/wipe cellphones and tablets in a safe and secure manner by using any app/program/port made for wiping HDDs and SSDs. Right now, I've tried using BCwipe to wipe the device "ugen0.2" (which is the phone I want to wipe) but it keeps resulting in an I/O...

Hello fellow FreeBSD users, I try to mount a USB stick to recover a geli key. This stick has a full install and I used to boot on it and run FreeBSD (version 7 or 8). When I created it I did not use slices and make it dedicated (I forgot why). The server hardware is broken and I can't boot on an...

I have a Toshiba 4TB external USB hard disk that I'm trying to use with FreeBSD. I can read from and write to the disk just after the system boots (or just after I plug it in). However, if I leave the disk unused for ~5 minutes, any subsequent reads or writes hang the system (to the extent that...

Hello, I've read many things about automounting USB drives on FreeBSD, and I wished I could use sysutils/automount to do that on my XFCE desktop. But it fails and I've no clue why. I'm running FreeBSD 12 RELEASE and the latest sysutils/automount pkg. I've installed and loaded FUSE, set...

I have recently setup FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE on my HP Pavilion 15-p051us. Most of the hardware works correctly, however one major exception is USB, most specifically with mass storage devices. When I connect a mass storage device to my laptop (on either one of the two USB 3.0 ports or on the USB...

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi B (not 2 or 3, the old one). I prepared an SD card with the FreeBSD 11.2 image from download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/ and booted the Pi with it. This seems to work fine. Then I added a USB pendrive, and used gpart to make a...

I am running FreeBSD 11 on a Raspberrypi B+. I have added an externally powered USB drive and formatted it with ufs from the Raspberrypi itself. The drive is new: I bought it today and I performed a complete surface check before using it. So, after formatting it on the rpi I could mount it. I...

I use FreeNAS to back up all my home PCs, virtuals, etc on FreeNAS. I'm trying to find a way to copy an entire volume for transporting the state of my backup on a 2TB drive to an offsite location. I created a USB 2TB drive formatted as FAT32 and got it mounted. By running df -h I can see it...
