CCFL_Man: all sas shelves that i've seen work for sata drives

yuripv: ahh, ok

i guess 6Gbps is the "standard" now for the low end?

it's sas2 (or sata3), and I don't think any spinning rust can achieve that speed if we are talking about directly connected drives (i.e. 1 lane)

OTOH, if we are talking about using expanders (e.g. with external disk shelf), you can multiply that rate by number of lanes, and see if it's enough for the number of disks you are planning to use

actually i see some hdds being advertised as 600MB/s (which is just about the rate of 1 lane with encoding), so i can be completely wrong about spinning rust :)

yuripv: i can get a hitachi sas disk shelf for cheap, but it's limited to 3mbps. that should be ok for a home nas?

CCFL_Man: If you don't need hot swapping, then find any case with adequate cooling that will hold the requisite number of drives. Then get yourself an IT mode HBA (See youtuber ArtOfTheServer for tons of info, and he sells good ones reaosnably priced on enay).

That guy has videos about all the different sorts of cards and why you would want one over the other.

He has a video on a good way to test all your drives before putting them into service as well.

Offers a concurrent badblocks script bht I think it is called.

You can use it if you buy used enterprise drives for instance... which are about half the price.

Even older HBA cards have 8 lanes

I built a spare parts nas with one of these ebay.com/itm/162834659601

Title: Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA w/ LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID | eBay

YOu need 10Gig ethernet too, of course, or this is all moot

A single drive can basically saturate 1Gig

oh thanks! i built a small 1U server that i plan on getting an HBA card

Watch that guy's videos to learn all about them.

A lot of variables, and a lot of stuff that is overkill.

LIke he will explain when or if you need 12Gbit cards

And about SAS expanders, etc.

All kinds of interesting stuff

Oh, I can vouch for that fellow. He's helpful.

I have bought a couple of cards from him, and he was crazy helpful with tech support in that regard

Be sure to get cables with the built in molex power connectors in you do an HBA. Otherwise the card may not be able to provide enough power.

(Those can be had cheaply on ebay)

I used these from this seller. No affiliation, but they came on time and worked: ebay.com/itm/284618234227

Title: Internal Mini SAS to SAS w/ Molex Power Cable SFF-8087 to 4x SFF-8482 1M | eBay

Of course with 1U its probbaly all custom $$ stuff. That's why I prefer 4U cases for most things... commidity parts, real power supplies, etc.

Erhard: i wanted to use an hba with an external sas port with a disk shelf

I see.

Might work well too. I would still check out that guy's videos. He has some on using externals.

CCFL_Man: yes (ZFS mobile hard disk drive on USB) and FYI, <old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/xw1a7e/-> (I need to add a comment there, and update the linked gist).

V_PauAmma_V: I merged grahamperrin's pull request against mine, does that also address (all?) of your suggestions?

:D

meena, going to have a look later today.

rennj: thanks

Remilia: yeah I have bectl but not beadm. thanks for the pointer

grahamperrin: oh nice.

Plugged in Ralink usb wifi device, dmesg shows it as run0. yet ifconfig does not. The if_run is loaded as this is GENERIC

you need to create wlan interface on top of it, please check the handbook

ahh thanks for the pointer

layers ftw

hellooo :) Anyone here still running FreeBSD on Intel's Pentium 2 silicon or older?

I think they ran the architecture that was demoted from full support in FreeBSD 13, but I'm attempting to revive an old laptop for basic internet use.

(email, standard definition online video etc. etc. Who needs 4K when you can have 480p?)

freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/hardware says everything starting with i486 is supported

Title: FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE Hardware Notes | The FreeBSD Project

ah, so that makes Pentium 2 a later 32-bit architecture right?

correct, amd64 (emt64) came later

that page seems to have unexpanded link though, "Perusal of the archives of the link:{freebsd-smp} may yield some clues."

nice! I'm banking on FreeBSD having good enough hardware support for my basic usage, but if not expect me back here for some beginner driver-writing advice ;)

anyone have recommendations for a maildir format to support large inboxes? i guess the answer is dovecot's mdbox, but i really don't want multiple messages per file. i guess hashing the message and storing it in aa/bb/message or something isn't workable, since no one seems to have done it

seabass: it might still work ok, just give it a lash

Hi folks, investigating a deadlock and I need the debugging symbols for libthr3.. how do I get that pulled down locally? thanks

*nod* I was aware of that, but last I looked it wasn't restricted to draft pull requests. Did that change?

(that was for grahamperrin)

JoBbZ, if you installed with base-dbg, they're already installed in a location that IIRC depends on your FreeBSD version but that I annoyingly can't remember, so check release notes. If not installed, fetch base-dbg from download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/13.1-RELEASE (using your architecture and version instead), unpack it in a staging directory, and mv or cp it to the appropriate

Title: Index of /ftp/releases/amd64/13.1-RELEASE/

directory/ies.

got it, tyvm (I followed comment #9 here forums.freebsd.org/threads/libc-with-symbols.74008 and updated for my arch/release)

Title: Solved - libc with symbols | The FreeBSD Forums

be nice if you could install it after the fact

JoBbZ: PkgBase has dbg packages

maybe if you install download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/13.1-RELEASE base-dbg you'd get them too

Title: Index of /releases/amd64/13.1-RELEASE/

well, not maybe, most likely

the problem is, that it would be useless without a freebsd-update, so PkgBase wins this round :P

grahamperrin: the project isn't going to move to GitHub

Unless I misunderstood something, it seems like you want to use github?

And I mean, that's fine for your own personal thing, just so long as you aren't expecting the project to move.

FreeBSD has always had a self-hosted repo of record, it's something we set quite a lot of pride in :)

what distro do u recommend for a linux user to start using *bsd? freebsd/openbsd/netbsd etc.. ?

kenobi: here in this channel we might be biased.

kenobi: over in #netbsd they might be biased too…

lol

kenobi: and over in #openbsd they might be biased, also…

kenobi: go with the one most of your friends are using

or go with the one most of your friends aren't using. Don't just think different, _be_ different ;)

that means win11, right?

:(

not like that lol

TempleOS. *srs nod*

there was probably some windows somewhere in between there, but, tbf, it was not voluntary…

V_PauAmma_V: yes! yess!!

yuripv i was thinking the same lol

(or Haiku)

anyway, that's enough "fun" for me… off to bed o/~
