titou: yo, you around? can you point me to where the dlib issue has been previously documented?

titou: ah, disregard; finally found the right bits

After how much is it 'too much' RAM for ZFS (meaning, it's just wasteful). I have a system with 156 GB of RAM. Is it pointless to add more? The use case is a data store for VMware.

is it possible to have UFS alongside ZFS in the same disk ?

hernan604: yes, generally, you can create partitions and make them members of a zpool just as you can entire disks

As for installation... My guess would be just open a shell and hack away, I don't think bsdinstall supports mixing UFS and ZFS

post-install though it's pretty trivial to add a partition to an existing zpool

fonks: ok thanks

Just curious. Is there a way to print the current transaction number for a zpool?

zBeeble: zdb -u poolname

morning, I was wondering (I run freebsd on qemu) is this a freebsd error ?

ahcich0: Timeout on slot 29 port 0

ahcich0: is 00000000 cs 00000000 ss ffffffff rs ffffffff tfd 50 serr 00000000 cmd 0000c017

Would it improve performance to have "native" freebsd graphics drivers instead of using LinuxKPI?

The drivers as far as I know are "native", only ported code, is this true? No linuxelator necessary for drivers, right?

svragv: the ported Linux code relies on a translation layer, i don't remember if DRM uses the existing LinuxKPI or its own layer, but either way it's emulating the Linux APIs. but unlike the linux emulator, it's compiled as native code, there's no ABI translation

i have no idea if removing that would improve performance, but it's worth noting that some network drivers for 10G/40G/100G NICs also rely on LinuxKPI and i haven't heard performance complaints about those

40G? like QSFP?

I have a QSFP+ network card that came with my proliant g9 but i don't think freebsd recognized it

i assume those would be QSFP, yes

it is indeed QSFP yeah

Let's see if I can get the model hold on

HSTNS BN80

svragv: probably, it would slightly improve performance. but probably a lot less than the improvement from just continuing to update the ports to more recent linux versions

especially for things like intel gpus where there's been a lot of changes to the drivers over the last few years

Is there a way to make ls group directories first?

runxiyu: that is a gnu flag, which afaik there is no alternative to, you would need to ls -la and then grep for the D (for directory) and then ls -la and only list the files

something you can probably script :P

although I just thought of one way, in almost all cases a directory is smaller then any file, so just ls -rS

I have a disk running a (root-on-zfs) FreeBSD, where I reserved a separate partition during install. Is it possible to do a new FreeBSD installation onto this free partition, and then mount the current root-on-zfs as a separate pool?

after several days of trying random combinations based on forum notes, i got a Decisio DEC2700 to boot with hw.uart.console="mm:0xfedc9000,rs:2" ... I don't see much in the docs on what exactly this does. Anyone familiar with it? Or know a doc that explains it?

To clarify, I know what uart and the console are, but I don't know how to interpret those values or why the loader worked but the kernel couldn't figure them out without me informing it.

markmcb: check the uart man page and look at the flags section

markmcb: im assuming the second field is flags

zi: I did. I see no mention of these values.

markmcb: oh, my bad. it might be the iomem address (0xfedc9000). do a grep uart /var/run/dmesg

you might see something lie this

ns8250: UART FCR is brokene FIFO> iomem 0xfedc9000-0xfedc9fff,0xfedc7000-0xfedc7fff irq 3 on acpi0

here's an explanation: bsdimp.blogspot.com/2018/07/how-to-…t-memory-mapped-serial-console.html

zi: yes, i see exactly that. ah, thanks for the link. this helps.

welcome

any reason why Firefox keeps crashing on my with input/output error when launching it

This happened in parallels and utm on a Mac m1 ?

Running freebsd 14.2 aarch64

oxbar: no idea.. but does not crash in bare metal bsd. but, try to open it from the console to get some output

may be helpful
