I keep gettin shit like this trying to populate my src directory error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining

hello, i dont know freebsd really, i installed it once but i really dont know anything but i need to "clearn" a 128G msata sdd for opnsense installation, it is already installed there but it says it has errors that i cannot fix and i would like to wipe the disk so i can install opnsense again in it

meh, I just used the github mirror

how can i wipe all the information and partitions from the disk?

like, securely or just at all

poddo: i just need it to be "clean" so opnsense could be installed again because when i try to install on it, it says that rootfs partition has problems and that i have to run fsck

i tried to delete all the partitions and regreate gpt with linux/gparted but it doesnt work, it says gpt have a problem and that there is still 7 blocks available, it gives the option to fix it but it does not fix anything and the ufs partitions are still there

poddo: how can i wipe the partitions?

from freebsd?

i dont know if it has to be done with freebsd or is it possible to do it with linux

I'd try fdisk personally

i only have opnsense usb installer to do it

i mean, formatting a drive is formatting a drive, you could do it from windows for all the drive cares

i already tried fdisk, it seems that it is done correctly but if i run fdisk /dev/sda again it still shows the partitions

certain os may have different partitioning schemes or file systems, but you just want to blank it, probably gpt which every os pretty much supports

hmmm

are you accepting your changes at the end of fdisk

i tried to create an empty gpt with fdisk and that didnt work

yes

at the end i write it to the disk, it shows no errors

but if i run fdisk again, it still shows the partitions

you have to quit with 'w'

thats why i came here, i dont know about freebsd or ufs

yeah did you use w to write your changes

babz: yes i know, write it

sure

i dont know freebsd but i have used linux for 20 or so years, im not an expert but i know some things

Your disk is probably faulty

try windows honestly

you cant really mess it up and youll have a better guess at if your disk is faulty

or any gui partitioner like gparted

mac file formatter etc

poddo: i ran gparted too from a live rescue usb, and it just says that gpt is bad and there are 7 blocks availabe, if i want to fix it, i say yes delete partitions, recreate gpt, it keep on saying the 7 blocks available, no error on the deletion of partitions nor any other error

but the partitions are still there :|

i dont have windows, well i have it on a vm inside proxmox that i cant access because my fw/router is death ja

and i have a small mac but the thing is that it is a msata drive, i dont have an adapter to connect to the mac

i already bought another disc from amazon, it will be here in 2 days, but i would like to know if the disk is death, i ran smartctl but i dont know what to look for to see if it is death

sounds fucked ngl

good news is 128g is like 3$ nowadays

i think the quality of that disk is very shitty

i bought this small comp with 4 nics and i use it as firewall

I'm trying to follow this guid in order to attach USB drives to my VirtualBox VMs but I'm running into an error.

When I try to restart devfs, I get these two following errors:

uh, hold on, it doesn't like the starting slash

"/etc/rc.d/devfs: WARNING: devfs_set_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset number"

and

"/etc/rc.d/devfs: WARNING: devfs_apply_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset"

usb devices, not just drives.

is there any more in the logs from devfs

Uh, logs in messages just say the same thing.

Let me see if there's anything else.

Nothing in dmesg

Yeah, only other stuff is in messages.

This is my devfs.conf file related to what I added:

# User added below:

own vboxnetctl root:vboxusers

perm vboxnetctl 0660

[system=10]

add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator

is there an ELI5 for the files in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf

like, what the differences are, other than guessing by the names

or is that just read it

man config I guess

Haha, figured it out. I needed the [system=10]... stuff in /etc/devfs.rules

id like to setup a linux thing but not debian/centos and saw theres dnf and pacman in the repos. what does a jailed linux distro require beyond that devs/procfs nonsense for me to chroot and just pacman -S base ?

(rtfming to a link would be a very appropriate answer)

anyone know how to get subwoofer working on the mainboard sub port?

im getting no soundcards found when i run aplay -l, but when i got to launch audio file i get speaker left/right only

can anyone help me not give up on freebsd? man...i dont know what to say other than it is sooo broken

useless: what is your usecase?

...wont load fusef module at boot no matter what. randomly pukes my sdcard filesystem and says its not configured

:(

i just want to mount an exfat filesystem and use it

*fusefs module

i can view the files just fine, then i start my daemon (minidlnad) and it dies...then when i try to read my files the device is "not configured"

so many conflicting tutorials about loading modules at boot.....but none of them owrk

also, mounting exfat from fstab does not work

my line: /dev/da0s1 /media/flash exfat late,mountprog=/usr/local/sbin/mount.exfat 0 0

ls: flash/: Device not configured

if i umount/mount it...its fine, but then it reverts to not configured

too early/late around here?

dmesg ?

fstab: /etc/fstab:4: Inappropriate file type or format

mount: /media/flash: unknown special file or file system

thats for the mount command...but theres nothing idicating the filesystem has puked

cannot read `01 - Save Us.mp3' (Input/output error)

the files get corrupted too

i've already removed/recrated/verified them...then it happened again

has anyone used exfat succesfully on bsd?

i'm either foced to use zfs on linux (sucks) or exfat on bsd (sucksssssss)

current zfs is not supported on 6.6.0

*currently

and exfat is far more portable....and as i understand it, a widely adopted open standard

but in bsdland....no can do

broken cluster chain. truncate to 524288 bytes at 0x5bb9400080.

thats what bsd did to my files

. /dev/sdd1: files corrupted 1188, files fixed 0

sdd1: corrupted. directories 5930, files 64568

mind you, linux can still read them.

why does bsd exist?

not being facetious.....just wondering

it seems no one is keeping it up

and yet, here you are

useless: is the question, why doesn't your fusefs module corrupting the filesystem or just vent how linux can work with it?

not that it isn't a valid question, similar to the validity of "why do strange edge cases exist"

is the /media/flash a hard drive or a flashdrive? i am inferring by the name.. it is a flash media, likst a thumb drive.

i am frustrated, i apologize...been at it for days....i would love to fix this.

the flassh drive is an sd card in the sdcard slot of my firewall appliance

is there an option, to copy off the data, too said linux box, then format it in something other than exfat?

no space

okay

oh, yes i can use a different filesystem, sorry...just not on the firewall

i was previously using zfs

i am not trying to NOT fix the issue.. just trying to minimize your data corruption, while we evaluate the exfat issues.

but i also keep my linux distro up to date, and right now that doesnt allow zfs

that is a different issue, agree? the non-connecting zfs.

exfat should be widely supported i would think

i'd rather not use zfs on linux anymore

i would agree also but we got the edge case dkeav referred to

i'll admit it..this is an edge case due to my installation of ports on opnsense

so you're not even asking for freebsd help so much as opnsense help?

its freebsd

it's freebsd "based"

FreeBSD gw.localdomain 13.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3 stable/23.7-n254818-f155405f505 SMP amd64

we are in a gray area here

that is like saying a bmw is a car so why isn't my toyota acting like my bmw because it is both based on a car

opnsense is an application

i disagree

but we got some more information, opensense was installed, you installed from /usr/ports and not a pkg

right?

yes

my tongue in cheek comment was not warranted, my bad

i do not have experience with opensense but troubleshooting should follow a process, what compile options did you use for opensense?

do i need to install fusefs-ntfs?

opnsense handles the kernel, sorry

i installed fusefs-exfat

can you moutn any other exfat related filesystems? or have any other ones available?

this one mounts fine. its the only one i have

mounting works great, until you try to access something.

but then it corrupts itself, even when mounted ro

yes

well, i can access things initially

and file says they look good

okay, thanks for the patience of explainging this. We have a opensense application, compiled by ports, that is trying to access a exfat filesystem, this filesystem can mount and upon trying to connect to this mount on a freebsd client it corrupts?

is this a correct summary?

but then....i start my dlna daemon which tries to index the files and it only gets so far before the device becomes 'not configured'

voy4g3r2, sorry, no

only fusefs-exfat is compiled from ports

opnsense is not involved other than the fact that they configured/built the kernel

okay, so opensense is not the root cause (that we know of) but the dlna (another application) that is accessing a partition from a ports install of exfat

yes, that is what i am seeing myself.

this sounds accurate

dlna is a pkg install or ports install?

pkg

okay one last summary... (i have NO experience with dlna or opensense and may have to bow out) We have an opensense firewall that has a compact flash drive (formatted as exfat/ntfs) we are accessing this file system through a /usr/ports install of fusefs. We can mount the filesystem on the opensense applicance/application. When i try to introduce another application, dlna, the filesystem is "corrupted"

(dlna is pkg isntalled)

yes...this even happens when the fs is mounted ro

okay, how does the linux comment play into this scenario?

jsut want to close that out, if possible.

i put the sdcard in my linux box to populate the files

i've also done this over the network with scp

to the same end....starts off looking fine. gets corrupted.

could the media be bad?

brand new sandisk

do we REALLY need to have exfat ? maybe ext4?

or ufs?

not that it couldnt,b ut i doubt that

exfat is portable

lets me transport my music collection and use it elsewhere

okay, we can tackle that later

i think the first is to see if we can test that drive

yes, this is frustrating, but we will get there

i'm willing to reformat it

okay, doing a quick duckduckgo.com search , i search for badblocks.. it is a utility on linux that can check, media. wiki.archlinux.org/title/Badblocks

Title: badblocks - ArchWiki

would you be able to give this a shot, i am not aware of a freebsd based one.. hld up

Title: badblocks check | The FreeBSD Forums

i try to keep my linux distro gentoo-only

this looks (just scanned, did not test)

you are a compiling rebel.. haven't used that distribution since university days in 2000s

omg man

it is the best thing since linux

we can go down that rabbit hole at another time, could you try that freebsd post instruction?

one hyphenated word: dependency-resolution

no one can touch gentoo on that one

i will try it. one sec.

thanks!

i like getting worked done, not compiling all day, so i buy macs :)

thats never an issue. my machine is 10 years old and compiles in a snap!

ooops might need to reboot

lol

that was my question 1 hour ago

anyway to reinitialize without reboot?

i would default to babz response :)

this just happened because i removed the card

sort of need the card to do the formatting.. it is pre-requisite

yeah its broken. brb

well that was interesting

how'd i get in before without registering?

<useless_> i dont think a flash card has any s.m.a.r.t. features

<useless_> smartclt cant find the device

<useless_> lets step back a moment... i'm using a partition (da0s1) ...most tutorials are using the raw device. am i wrong?

welcome back

thx :)

that i do not know the answer to.. but maybe a reformat of the drive? see if we can replicate the corruption?

. /dev/da0s1: Unable to detect device type

okay. there's no mkfs.exfat on freebsd tho

that is correct, you have to leverage the fusefs module to do that

and theres no exfat-utils in ports

ok, not sure how that's done

Title: Solved - mounting exFAT usb with freebsd | The FreeBSD Forums

i've read that page _so_ many tmies

it must be obsolete, cuz none of that works

i cant get the fusefs module to load at boot at all

the stars are aligning and God is saying.. DON'T use exfat :)

:(

but we are getting somewhere

so full circle.. why are we doing exfat again?

if you are plugging into bsd/linux boxes.. and sharing with dlna.. who cares ?

well, the reason was usb3.0 transfer of 1tb files onto the card from my linux box

but i suppose i could just switch to rsync/ssh

okay. screw exfat :)

i also thought it would be nice to use the collection in my vehicle, or elsewhere

but freebsd has dashed all my hopes :(

do i use a slice or raw device for the zfs fs?

slice it is

oh..ufs or zfs?

ufs would work

it is what i use for my raspberrypi install

i have no exposure/experience with zfs yet

i dont have ufs

i like zpool

i would have to bow out, maybe ext4

argh. it created a da0s1a....whats the a??

this is where opnsense becomes an issue...theres no ext4 either

ill brb i have a meeting

Title: unix - Should I create ZFS zpools with whole disks or partitions? - Server Fault

that is outside my wheelhouse, i would find a format that opnsense can read and go with that

maybe ext3?

voy4g3r2, i'm just reverting to zfs....not really a fix is it?

can you help with something else...i wanna clean up the mess left behind by my experimenting

pkg autoremove does nothing...i'm trying to find a util call portsclean....

the only place is see it is on github under portsuils, but thats 11 years old...

portsutils

i dont have it in pkg or ports..

shared-mime-info-2.2_1 ? orphaned: misc/shared-mime-info

i wanna get rid of stuff like that

usemore: what are you trying to do i dont get it

clean up my mess

i want to remove all orphaned dependencies, and stuff that i installed from ports and dont need

i guess its in portupgrade

which is in ports

try this pkg update -f

pkg upgrade

pkg autoremove

*** Error code 1

pkg autoremove

Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)

Nothing to do.

oh boy

then manually remove orphaned packages

pkg delete shaderc-2023.7

yeah thats lame

then pkg info | grep .... | ....

these are ports builds not packages

strongly suggest to move towards poudriere

solves 99.9% of all my issues

you know what they are pkgs

i've heard of it...havent wrapped my head aroun dit

ok...if i'm using minidlna how is shaderc orphaned?

remove package then recompile the port

with clean dependency

how can i get portsclean?

WHY ?

to automate this

i truly dont get freebsd. i'm a mess.

why have such an effed'up convoluted os....why?/

to give windows some competition?
