Hey all, I just installed freebsd14 and in the installer, the wifi works, but on boot, it doesn't. I'm seeing "iwlwifi0: ERROR: lkpi_ic_scan_start: hw_scan returned -5" on the tty

kindrobot: i recognize wifi troubles when first installning, but do not remember the exact error message. are you able to get it working if going through the steps of docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/network/#network-wireless manually?

i sometimes run gameservers in a linux compatibility system

I chroot into that, but then I'm root, and I don't want to run the game servers as root

but I don't have my regular users in there, do I have to create new users in the linux chroot?

yourfate, I think so.

ooooh I just found out about unprivileged chroot

that would be nice

so I could just chroot from an unprivileged user

and not have to recreate them in linux

it says its enabled by `security.bsd.unprivileged_chroot`, how does that work?

sysctl --help

oops

found it

its done with sysctl

ok, I also copied the user entry to the passwd file in ubuntu, so it has a name for the ID

now my valheim server runs as an unprivileged user in linux compantibility, which is nice.

Hi, I am trying to setupa Linux thin jail following the handbook, but when I try to start the jail, after setting up the template and then the base container, I am getting: jail: mount.devfs: /usr/local/jails/linux/dev: No such file or directory

it seems the mounts are not set up right

did you set up the mounts in fstab, and run `mount -a`?

ah, and start the linux service

yourfate: yes I setup linux on the host and ran the service. The handbook says to not perform any jail configuration, and it gives a long cli command to run to start initially.

hmm then you probably need someonw that knows about jails

I only use the compat layer without jails

np, I will see if I can figure it out

hello

Well this camera wasn't what I wanted

crap

hello F0ma

hey mzar

need advice

have problem with disk, when try download file to my mounted additional disk disk unmounts and couldn't be mounted then run fsck and could mount it back again. does it looks like file access issue?

i use transmission for file download

what's the filesystem on this disk ?

ufs

it is

that's supported FS, no advice from my side, but perhaps someone else will give you better advice

no problem, thanks

perhaps the system panics frequently during this file transfer and after reboot disk is not in consistent state ?

restar shoul work too i think

F0ma: OK, if you don't want dirty filesystem after panic, use ZFS

ok I think about that thanks

I have just thought about it, FSF has pretty strong opinions on free meaning freedom not free as in free beer... what does the "free" in FreeBSD mean?

FreedomBSD or FreeBSD (as in free beer)

(thanks fsf for causing so much confusion when free is used in naming)

Title: Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD | FreeBSD Documentation Portal

dammit I forgot to RTFM again

also hi deimosBSD

that might not fully answer your question though

tldr: bsdi charged for BSD OS, freebsd didn't

the far longer answer is klarasystems.com/articles/history-of-freebsd-unix-and-bsd

Title: History of FreeBSD – Part 1: Unix and BSD | Klara Inc

it was originally 386bsd, etc

which also what netbsd forked

and the netbsd was forked into openbsd

due to deraadt controversy and being kicked out

I am struggling to find two things I need, 1. some guide/article on separate partitions and mount options, the handbook touches on it, and OpenBSD has a good explanation on useful mountflags to increase security, but I am wondering if there is something for FreeBSD on this topic

and 2. multiple FDE pools/disks

will GELI always prompt for decryption of anything in the fstab?

I know it prompts for the boot disk... but what about additional storage mountpoints?

if someone could provide good articles on both of these, it would be highly appreciated,

polarian: /etc/rc.conf can have geli_devices="...."

saper: that variable is waht prompts you for decryption on boot?

checked rc.conf(5), it is thanks :)

easier than I thought, what about 1 though :)

polarian: no

the bootloader ask for the boot device, and then the userland, once it is running

hmmm right ok

so it will be decrypted in the userspace after init?

some time during the processing of rc scripts

(I actually had a problem recently - the bootloader did not open both of my ZFS mirrors, only one device, so I had to geli attach another disk manually and "zpool oneline pool anothervdev" to sync the mirrors again ('resilver')

yikes now that is scaring me

don't worry

if you are booting from the ZFS mirror you will know what you are doing for sure :)

I really like that our third stage loader can do stuff like decryption and ZFS. No need for initrd or such stuff.

and that /boot/pmbr fakes GPT support \/

I know nothing about the FreeBSD boot cycle :P

I believe its in the handbook though...

im sure there is a ton of books you can buy about *BSD boot process

ah, I forgot that 14.1 will be officially announced tomorrow, sweet.

|cos|: All 14.x releases use the same ABI, so no rebuilds necessary

Same with every major release

thanks. makes sense. i hope someone is a bit amused of how persistant i was in getting that unnecessary action done. :)

|cos|: some time ago my pkg database got corrupted. still finding some ancient stuff in /usr/local/bin that has never been updated since, as those files no longer belong to anything.

hey, I've got a zfs volume here that's acting as a device node for a linux vm virtual disk

i've just expanded the zvol, but what's the easiest way to resize the linux partition?

is there something easier than fdisk?

as far as I know, I can't used gpart for this?

ah, had to set the devmode to full

Using "u-boot", is there anything to be done in the case of: XHCI timeout on event type 33 ?

I've tried adding the offending device to usb_ignorelist, but that makes no difference in this case.
