I'm using various Optanes in M.2 format with no problems.

sysutils/zfstools takes as arguments the label you want and how many to keep. So something like */4 * * * * /usr/local/bin/zfs-auto-snapshot extra 360 would take snapshots every four minutes and save them for a day. In my experience, every 15...

My error in missing the change to `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` that disabled X11Forwarding by default. ``` < #X11Forwarding yes --- > #X11Forwarding no 108c108 < #VersionAddendum FreeBSD-20240104 --- > #VersionAddendum FreeBSD-20240806 ``` Closing as...

I don't think so. Other than that, here is the obligatory xkcd.

XFCE 4.20 under Wayland. As you can see, only one screen gets captured no matter what I do, the QT apps are not themed and (but you cannot see here) also the "Save as..." screenshooter dialog box is not themed.

XFCE 4.20 under X11.

Happy new year!

I just upgraded my XFCE installation to 4.20. Good job as usual by the devs and kudos to the FreeBSD Maintainer Guido (I don't know his handle here, sorry) and to olivierd for their amazing work. As expected the standard X11 implementation runs...

Thanks, at some point I'll get to her studio. She has a workaround so it's not a rush.

FWIW, the 16 GB Optane drives sell for $5 on Ebay.

I don't think so.

My last for today. Labwc with xfce4-panel, liking it very much so far.

You may be in need of a Qlogic firmware update. However, when using the "old" firmware as is, there has been a change in behaviour for isp, please read and compare the updated man page; especially relevant for 14.2R seems: BOOT OPTIONS...

I wanted to find out "for free" so as not to do it myself :). But thank you for your time and your answers.

I don't know how much slower dynamically expandable disks are, but it should be really easy to test: - make two new disks for the VM - one expandable - one not - do a write benchmark (be careful that the benchmark has an fsync(2) at the end)

Yes. The VM has a disk. The disk can be permanent or dynamically expandable. As mentioned, a constant disk size increases the performance of the guest system. However, if the disk is an SSD, then accessing it is fast enough. For this reason, does...

Oh you are talking about the disk image files for virtual machines.

FreeBSD Friends, I have this computer running 14.0-RELEASE. Its FC HBA has been working well for many moons. MakeSupermicro ModelX10SLL-F Motherboard BIOS3.4 QLogic modelQLE2694 QLogic BIOS3.39 I'd like to install FreeBSD...

Same problem again on 14.2. Debian is still running wireshark with qt5. I don't recall logging a bug. Edit: just logged https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283524

Yes.

Yes.

Hello. I have old dellserver (Xeon 1230 V.3, 32 Gb, 256 SSD Samsung EVO) for database/application server on guest Ubuntu. There is one VirtualBox whose performance I want to increase. I have 4 core. Can I all four core set to guest system?

nmxer works best here. Comes with mp3blaster

I think I have to roll my own. I want sub-5-minute snapshots for a day in case I fatfinger a git tree or something. That would lead to a serious flood if the script loses track. There might be trust issues about something this important.

Fixed-size of hhd P.S. As I understood, disks are fixed-size and dynamically expandable size. Sorry my English. P.P.S. I read and I know that fixes-size hdd increase performance for guest system, but how much?

Not sure what kind of "fixed" you mean. Where do you see a setting for "fixed"?

Seriously, fuck them and fuck that. Remixing other people’s intellectual property without even giving any credits is available “for free” now. Ah well. I never was a violent person, but I’d love to see their server farm engulfed in flames...

XFCE 4.20 under X11.

It is fine to ask questions - this is one of the purposes of the forum. But please - stop with the polls already. IMNSHO, polls do not add value to the conversations / questions in this forum - nobody is here in the role of marketing.

Not more so than other filesystems.

A ZFS hang would still have the machine answer to ping. A network hardware problem is more likely.

Isn't ELF already that and even way more? Frankly the description you shared is something you'd pitch to a sales manager.

I don't think so. Other than that, here is the obligatory xkcd.

shepper, the Mac is new. I even called Apple support eventually getting to a supervisor who said that the latest Macs no longer had support for that printer. I don't remember the model of the printer, but it is around 12-15 years old.

Try installing a ttf font as well?; pkg install noto-basic brings in sans, serif and mono fonts.

With regards to "random" messages, check /etc/syslog.conf, specifically the first line: *.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console You can disable this if you want.

Check your disks. Any weird DMA errors for example in /var/log/messages? Use sysutils/smartmontools on the disk(s) too. When disks are on their last legs they often give lots of time-outs, that can certainly cause apparent freezes.
