tuaris: yeah, should be fine;

even without ids, in my experience

cool. Something else I just noticed... unless I am missing something, but it looks like having lz4_compress turned on recovers most of the space lost when using raidz1 or raidz2. Unless these online ZFS calculators are wrong?

The calculator says I would only get 6 TB out of 4 3TB discs, but in practice I am seeing the virtual device with 11 TB

Compression is hard to predict, though.

Strange. Total: 11.95TB | Allocated: 7.84TB | Free: 4.1TB

The files on that are already heavily compressed h.264/h.265 video files

you can see the compression factor in zfs:

zfs list -p -r -t filesystem -o space,dedup,compression,compressratio

 

pertho, I have used it; makes some difference. What we need is a methodological method to measure how much power saving is there?

s/?//

What iso image do I download to to put it on USB stick?

sn00p, the memstick one

how do you burn .img

from linux or bsd 'dd'

from windows rufus or .. there is another one

betty aesther or something

ah that was it balena.io/etcher

Title: balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives

mac I THINK would also have access to dd

Is there a way to apply encrypted swap settings (people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/handbook/swap-encrypting.html) by restarting a service or something, anything other than rebooting?

oh, there's actually a swap service.

can also do swapon $DEVICE.eli and it will know because of .eli

ah you said the settings..i think it will use the settings you specified in /etc/fstab if you do it with swapon, but not sure

hmm, actually doesn't seem to

might work with swapon -aF /etc/fstab

i think -F is optional unless your fstab moved

cool, thanks!

does FreeBSD know when headphones are plugged in to switch to them? Seems like it doesn't with snd_hda

do I have to mess with that pindump nonsense?

seems like an awful lot of faffing about just to get something basic as plugging in headphones and switching from unit '1' to unit '0' :/

pertho: most desktop environments keep track of that for you

but I have no idea how they do it

you have to mess with pindump nonsense, yes

what is pindump?

hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config="as=1 seq=1 device=Line-out" (pasting example from snd_hda(4))

oh

if it seemed out of context, i was replying to a 3 hour old message above :D

no, i see it all, just haven't had to fuck around with that

yuripv: seems to me, you could maybe do that they devd

Title: devd.conf(5)

(then again, there's lots of things i keep thinking devd should be capable of, and much of the time, it disappoints me)

yuripv: FreeBSD could do with a decent guide on translating pindumps to device hints in the proper way

in the end I ended up needing to set dev.hdac.0.polling=1 in sysctl.conf, and adding hint.hdaa.1.nid20.config="as=2 seq=0 device=Speaker conn=Fixed ctype=Analog loc=Internal" and hint.hdaa.0.nid21.config="as=2 seq=15 device=Headphones conn=Jack" to device.hints

so many knobs and dials.

ah, right, you're switching your system to jack

meena: no, not jack the sound subsystem

just switching output based on plugging in headphones (or unplugging)

ah, must be someone else in here

I think the restic package in quarterly for FreeBSD 13.1 (0.14.0_2) is broken badly.. all the operations were broken and even running a check on a repo didn't work. I downloaded the release off the github for freebsd_amd64 and it works fine.

ah never mind.. something else is happening.. restic really doesn't like running on freebsd for some reason

I suspect it was some sysctl knob/dial.. I removed, rebooted.. and one of them must have made the sftp connect bork itself. Interesting.

So PEBCAK?

possibly :D Need to figure out which one borked it :)

What is the attraction of restic?

deduplication of backups.. and runs faster than borgbackup

but I suspect some kind of issue with the wireless driver now.. as during a period of time the machine was sending a lot of data, it suddenly just dropped off the network (still had an IP but couldn't connect anywhere)

had to run service netif restart to get it back

github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/sys/mount.h#L792 As you can see here freebsd has a function vget which gets a vnode by asking the file system driver but it identifies it via an inode number but when I was looking at the vnode struct I saw no ino_t

but it has a void* to private data where the file system can save private data for the vnode, is the ino_t in there?

I tried looking for it in a filesystem driver if they put a ino_t in that void* struct, but I was not able to find it.

This way or else they have a map there the inode number is the key and the vnode itself the value, but in every case the file system driver has to keep track of which inode number belongs to which vnode, right?
