for poudriere jails, when an upgrade (e.g., 14.0 to 14.1) occurs, is it best to create a new jail and rebuild everything, or ok to just upgrade the existing jail and incrementally build?

I always just recreate the jail

markmcb: Maybe a good opportunity to use Ansible or similar.

markmcb, In theory the result should be the same. If one were to experiment and upgrade copy A and create new B and then compared the files in them I expect any differences to be unintended differences.

thanks!

does anyone know if ROCm (AMD's Linux GPGPU API) works on FreeBSD? or if it could be ported (is it open source)?

i found a few old forum threads but not real details

Hello. Can someone tell me about MTK7601?

Mediatek

1. Can I host AP with it?

2. Does FreeBSD at all support it good?

^these are the most crucial for the moment

i don't know the answer but my suggestion would be to boot from the installer image and see whether the card works

that'll give you a definitive answer, i suppose

it doesn't work yet, but it is being worked on

you can follow/contribute to the discussion at bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264300

FreeBSD 14 bootonly iso can't boot to rescue mode? I had to use FreeBSD 13 boot iso.

concussious: but there are nothing about MTK7601?

ugen1.3: <MediaTek802.11 n WLAN1.0 802.11 n WLAN> at usbus1

Doesn't this mean that the thing will work fine?

ugen is a generic USB device, it means the device won't work at all unless a more specific driver attaches

V-T60, I don't know but I might guess that wifibox would have it working. github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox

V-T60: that's why you should help him. his driver is called mt76. I'm sure he wants it tested on mt7601.

V-T60: everyone currently helping him has other chips in mt76 family

how do I get the git hash for whatever is checked out in my /usr/src?

crb: cd /usr/src; git log; the first entry is your git hash

thank you

concussious: ok, i will join, if it is about me being vital there

V-T60: wow, so it turns out, bz is porting the mt76 driver from linux, where they have a mt76 driver for everything the mtk76?? family *except* mtk7601, which has it's own driver

oh, what does it mean for me?

that wifi is not the one

oh, sad

>USB wireless adapters are not supported.

Plus my CPU isn't supported by bhyve...

to see what usb network options are available you can use "apropos usb | grep network"

concussious: I can't find there anything about MTK7601

So I will not able to run this Mediatek without bhyve/the device being not USB?

sorry, i meant, to see what supported usb networking hardware you could use, try "apropos usb|grep network"

as in, im saying, we have some options you can probably find for <$10, but mtk7601 is not nor is likely to become one of them.

these are all options for FreeBSd on my platform, right?

yeah, "apropos usb|grep network" on a freebsd console shows what usb network drivers are currently available on that system

okay, sad that my device isn't in the list

brace yourselves, kubernetes on freebsd is coming!

ly2en: ugh terrible news

for freebsd? Or k8s?

kinda both but mostly for freebsd

i hoped we'd avoid that crap

how can I show the last snapshot on a zfs filesystem?

or the dates of snapshots?

i don't think zfs records the date of snapshots

if you use something like sanoid it names the snapshots after the current date/time though

just use date+time in names of snapshots ^^

that will solve your problem of "whats last snapshot" too

I do that most of the time but there are a few times where I didn't and when doing a send/recieve zfs reports and issue with not the last snapshot (I think)

there is the creation property in a snapshot

that will solve your problem of "whats last snapshot" too

not the last snapshot or that files where modified and snapshot is not "current data"?

missclick with up arrow ;p

zfs list -t snapshot -o name,creation

crb: even if you branch snapshots in a tree (instead of single line) you shouldnt have problems with send/recv as long as you -I @ from shared snapshot to anything newer than what you have

so if you have @20240601, @test, @20240602 it would be fine if you do -I @20240601 name@20240602

as it will copy the snapshots in beetween anyway

(and dont forget you can always do fresh snapshot if you dont know whats latest)

fun part starts when you have "too much" snapshots, and it wont allow you to send/recv it all at once

thanks

what, why won't "it" allow you to send all at once?

rtprio: i'm snapshoting like every 15min on production systems

that's... sounds excessive. but also doesn't answer my question

cannot receive incremental stream: most recent snapshot of rz2_pool does not

match incremental source

if i need to send/recv whole volume i have to limit myself to about 15000-20000 snapshots at once

that's why I wanted to list the creation dates of snapshot if they didn't have a date in the name

rtprio: if you want to copy too much at a time it copies first X snapshots and dies with some dumb error

its problem if you try to recursive send volumes

as it will copy X snapshots from first one, and other ones will still be at the original one

crb: did you independently snap on source and destination?

crb: try deleting latest snapshot on destination maybe?

torindel and there in lies the problem how do you determine the latest snapshot if you didn't use the date in the name

but I think I fixed it using the -F flap

but I think I fixed it using the -F flag

sidenote if anyone is interested: there arent any slowdowns/hickups during work/snapshoting when you have excessive ammount of snapshots, only downside is that it gets a WHILE to get list of all snapshots (esp if filesystem system is under higer i/o), althroo if you know snapshot name cd .zfs/snapshot/name is fine
