markmcb: if you're really curious you could have a look at the commits from 14.0 but that's rather a lot of reading :-) cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=range&q=releng%2F14.0..stable%2F14

Any idea if I move some FreeBSD jails on FreeBSD 10.x to a machine that runs FreeBSD 14, it will run without having to upgrade the jail instances ?

meandrain, the kernel contains modules for compatibility with various earlier freebsds

i think this will work

options COMPAT_FREEBSD10 # Compatible with FreeBSD10

in GENERIC

Unlike many other operating systems, backward compatibility is a real thing here in FreeBSD.

Not saying others ain't good, but I've had to struggle a lot with backward compatibility (and I still do) but almost never had an issue when running FreeBSD.

i'm trying to get a grafana plugin (github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit-datasource) to build on freebsd. i tried mage -v but it only built for other platforms, not freebsd. can anyone help pls?

Is it possible to get this error when importing a newer zfs pool on an older freebsd system (because of zfs version mismatch) ? cannot import 'sys': one or more devices is currently unavailable

meandrain: what tool are you using to import hte newer zfs pool?

zfs import

I mean zpool import

meandrain, "zpool import" (which confusingly lists what could be imported rather than doing an import) lists what it finds. Did it list any devices? Or was it simply missing devices? Can you paste the output?

Otherwise it sounds like missing devices rather than version problems.

I solved the problem by recreating the pool that has that problem

about a week into using poudriere. i noticed an update to a port that many other ports depend on will create a cascade of rebuilds. last night 87 packages were rebuilt. but when i "pkg upgrade" on the systems using this repos, there will be only a handful of updates, e.g., 6. is that expected? i.e., why rebuild all those packages if they're not also deployed?

Hey hi! Is there any chance that I can get my freebsd v12.2 upgraded to the latest version?

We ordered an machine at a hosting compnay and we were unable to get openbsd working, so we installed freebsd, but it seems it is on v12.2 and it seems to be EOL, so I cannot install any packages

Please help me out, since I really want to be able to use this machine

MiniontobyPI: you have two optins, can upgrade or do a fresh install. are you able to get to "console" of this device? freebsd.org/where

Title: Get FreeBSD | The FreeBSD Project

pick your version based on the cpu arch. and enjoy :)

my recommendation would also to get the network inforamtion BEFORE you do the install... if dhcp vs static and such

MiniontobyPI, If it were me I would upgrade from 12 to 13 following all of the release note items. I vaguely recall one must update the boot loader at that step but that might be wrong. That's an easy step and then you have security support.

Then upgrade from 13 to 14 at your leisure (I am still on 13 myself for another month or so).

Remember that FreeBSD "base" is a cohesive entity that upgrades all together, making it very reliable for doing system upgrades. Then as a separate step upgrade the pkg ports.

voy4g3r2: I personally only have assh

The provider only supplies you with freebsd 12.2 img, but there is an option to upload your own img, however, as we have seen with openbsd, there is no assurance that it works

But my friend does have an console, I believe

I guess downloading a new one is the best, I guess

rwp: the machine is a fresh machine, just 2 days old. So there is no benefit in upgrading by using relaese notes, since there is nothing on the machine atm, since I wasn't able to get sudo and nano

I am trying to use this script to clean zero size zfs snapshots: github.com/fracai/zfs-rollup/blob/master/clearempty.py but running it in test mode says it has no snapshots to remove. Any idea why ?

Title: zfs-rollup/clearempty.py at master · fracai/zfs-rollup · GitHub

MiniontobyPI, The advantage would be that you would have a FreeBSD 13 machine then. If the provider does not provide you with a 13 installer then you can upgrade and the result will be the same.

oke, but how would I do it?

Using 'drill any some.domain' I should be able to get the A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and any other records of some.domain, yes?

In the manpage, the example usage shows "drill mx miek.nl"

I'm just replacing 'mx' with 'any'

Not many DNS servers will answer your any

Hi. I'm using pkg pgbackrest but I've a trouble: when I run it from shell it works fine, while then it's executed from cron it fails to read config file even if there is --config=/usr/local/etc/pgbackrest/conf.d/mydb.conf option in the crontab line.

How could it be fixed?

ferz: do you have the exact error message?

any Go coders around?

i had a bhyve startup cmd that worked fine but when i changed -m 1G to 2G now i get Unable to setup memory (22) error but sudo top says 50GB free

So I know OpenBSD is strongly against GPL and copyleft... but does FreeBSD believe in a similar idea? or does FreeBSD not care.

I notice the default cc is clang on FreeBSD...

lw: ah there is a doc for it

oops

apologies for missing it, and thanks for the link :)

and yes, part of the justification for replacing gcc with llvm was the license
