I have a file created from a ufs2 volume with dd and if I run file(1) against it, it reports:

home.img: new-fs dump file (ufs2, little endian), This dump Sat Mar 21 14:26:16 2020, Previous dump Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970, Volume 1, Level zero, type: tape header, Label none, Filesystem /home, Device /dev/da0p7, Host skorpion.citadel.trioptimum.com

How do I mount it?

When I try, it tells me "block device required"

When I specify 't ufs' it prints the usage info.

CrtxReavr: that looks like a file created with dump, not created with dd. in which case i think the tool you need for that is restore

if it were created with dd, you would be able to mount it by making a device out of it with mdconfig -f and then mounting

hmm

jmnbtslsQE, would 'mdconfig -f' create a copy of the file?

it would just expose the file in a device node under dev, as if it were a disk, so then you can do things that you can do with disks such as mounting

and then it tells you the device name, such as md0. so you'd operate on /dev/md0 for example. but i don't think that will work in this case, because your file is not a filesystem (it's the output from the dump command)

so I ran 'sudo mdconfig -f home.img' and it printed 'md0'

Now I've tried 'sudo mount /dev/md0 /mnt' and 'sudo mount -t ufs /dev/md0 /mnt'

Both report mount: /dev/md0: Invalid fstype: Invalid argument

I was created with dd, not dump.

it's not a file system, so you won't be able to mount it. the file(1) string you provided is consistent with the output from dump

i haven't used dump/restore much, but it looks like you can do something like: restore -rf home.img , and it will copy the contents it into your current directory

I really think it's consistent with what I'd get if I ran 'file -s' against a partion.

i invite you to try it on an actual ufs filesystem in one of your partitions and compare

heh

well yes, that md0 is created from that file, so they will be identical

if you've got a ufs filesystem on a partition somewhere, if you run file -s you will get some different output.

Well, I do see the difference in output. . . though there is a lot of overlap.

I don't have the disk space on that box to try a restore.

Thanks though.

OK

Hello, I have raidz on a pool and I'll like to make a backup to an external hard drive. Do I need to create an snapshot first or is it enough to `zfs send -R internal_pool | zfs recv -F external_hdd` ?

i think you must send a snapshot

rtprio: ok, thanks

Anyone up for trolubeshooting sound issues ?

im losing my mind over here.. usb audio works perfect i would like internal speakers and mic working.. i think my speakers/mic are intergrated into my graphics card dunno

have you identified your non-usb sound device?

On boot, I have to wait until dhcp6c configures my internal intefaces via DHCPv6-PD before I can start bind.

What's the best way to delay bind's start?

Greetings

won't bind redectect the interfaces?

Why did gpart add an extra 1M after my UFS partition? bin.morante.net/?90750382c1863a1b#E…jUd43WbXGcZmSSzxTsBTiNGrgvSjYcHWvak

CrtxReavr, Normally the various dhcp daemons will bind to the wildcard * address when binding to a port. Normally even if the main network interfaces are down the loopback interface is up allowing this to happen. Then later when the main interface comes online everything continues to work.

CrtxReavr, Is the dhcp6c daemon binding to specified addresses? Is that the problem?

tuaris, That link gave me "PrivateBin requires a modern browser to work. Firefox, Opera, Chrome..." while using Firefox on FreeBSD.

lol, weird

It appears to be blocking FreeBSD user agents. That's unfriendly.

It's privatebin from the ports, hmm

rwp: no, i got the same with Firefox on Windows. it suggested using https, but the site's certificate issuer isn't trusted by Firefox

I tried it in emacs-eww (my irc client) and got this message "JavaScript is required for PrivateBin to work. Sorry for the inconvenience."

tuaris, I don't really need to look as I will guess it must do so to satify alignment. It's pretty normal to require 1 megabyte alignment.

I see, must be a new thing on 14?

Hmm... TIL that FreeBSD pkgs firefox has changed the User-Agent to be "Linux" rather than the prvious "FreeBSD" which I used to have to override in order to be able log into chase.com. I guess either a failed customization or a choice to go with the masses I don't know.

Crtxeavr - I remember experimenting with a USB ethernet and RC has amechanism for delaying certain parts of the network startup... maybe something like THAT?

check out netwait_enable and named_wait

CrtxReavr I mean - stupid keyboard xcannot type/spell

tuaris: what the shit is up with that pastebin

complains there's no ssl, then doesn't present a valid certificate

probably pooched their letsencrypt updates

nope, they made up a CA

and expired

yeah I've done that but not for public things

made it up? like self-signing it?

yeah, it's self-signed
