00:55:36 wavefunction: yeah, i was hoping to avoid wasting 10% of the disk on this :-) 01:29:49 so to gpt partition and zpool my external usb drives, i got the commands: gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel0 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel1 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , zpool create mirror mylabel0 mylabel1 ; i was running that by #zfs and a guy said the labels need to be 01:29:49 gpt/mylabel0, not mylabel0. that right? i never put "gpt/" on a label before so im confused 01:35:44 he said "fbsd puts gpt labeled devices in /dev/gpt" 01:51:24 demido: the label itself should be "foo", the device node is /dev/gpt/foo, you usually include "gpt/" when using the device (e.g. to create a zpool) 01:52:01 although if it works without "gpt/" then it's fine, zfs doesn't care about the path you used to create the pool when importing it 01:52:11 OH! maybe that's what he meant. so: gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel0 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel1 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , zpool create mirror gpt/mylabel0 gpt/mylabel1 ; right? 01:52:16 ah hm 01:52:39 that's how i would do it, yes 01:53:03 (well, i think maybe it saves the /dev/gpt path in the cache, but if the cache is missing it'll scan all disks to find the pool, it's not like you won't be able to import it if the path changes) 01:54:27 oh dang i left out part of my zpool create command! gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel0 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , gpart create -s GPT , gpart add -l mylabel1 -t freebsd-zfs -a 1M , zpool create mylabel mirror gpt/mylabel0 gpt/mylabel1 ; zpool import mylabel 01:55:05 basic idea is use gpt label with 0+ disk number, then use label without 0+ for the zfs pool name 01:56:31 i mean, if it works, then it's fine 01:56:51 is there anything better i can do to it before i test? 01:56:55 zfs uses its own internal ids to identify pools and disks, so you don't need to fret too much about what the OS calls the disks 01:57:38 you might want to make sure ashift is set correctly for 4K sectors, or put that in the zpool create command 01:57:53 how do i figure out if i should do that or not? 01:58:24 you should always do it, there's no harm if the disk doesn't actually have 4k sectors, but you can't change it later if you need to replace a disk 01:58:40 how do i set it? 01:58:42 in sysctl: vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift=12 01:59:10 ah ya i got 12 02:00:02 ty 12:53:26 goog morning 13:53:48 good 14:09:37 gm 14:29:10 "fetching metadata signature for 14.3-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... failed." how to fix it? 14:30:27 al1r4d: wait ~10 days for 14.3 to be released, i imagine 14:30:38 ah okay, thank you! 16:45:45 good day, currently writing a port of tree-sitter-cli and am currently dealing with an issue related to the virtual manifest in the root of the repository. my intention is to try and cd into the cli directory to cargo install from there. any ideas? 16:46:03 give me a bit to get my current makefile 16:46:29 https://0x0.st/8YzR.txt 16:48:00 feel free to use the opportunities to provide hints about any mistakes i should treak if i were to ever try and upstream said port (that's what i'm planning to do right now, actually.) 17:34:17 amadaluzia: I'd suggest hopping into the #FreeBSD-Ports channel and presenting there. Some pretty darn smart folks in there that can help with just about anything. 17:36:41 ek: thanks for letting me know 17:36:45 i'll join there 17:37:20 Sure thing. 19:30:00 amadaluzia: porters handbook cargo/rust section or some post-install: magic 19:56:04 27 19:56:07 ugh 19:56:24 irssi fail detected! 20:21:52 'sup leah2 o/ 21:35:38 hello Hecate 22:08:48 This is a little funny. FreeBSD 14.2's freebsd-update will suggest that a release is unsupported if there's no network connection. 22:11:19 No supporters can be reached 22:11:33 True. 22:13:39 I've been going over this with students lately. "Have your error messages say what you actually mean or want." 22:15:21 Error messages with useful information sure are nice. 23:43:52 hello, currently trying to get my microphone working but i have come empty handed(realtek alc256, msi katana gf76 12ue iirc, freebsd 14.2 latest) 23:44:36 tsoome #zfs guy said i don't need to set -s to ensure partition ends on a clean 4096 boundary because zfs won't use it anyway. opinion? 23:46:35 i thought it was my webcam that needed to be enabled and i guess the webcam worked (https://0x0.st/8Y8I.png) but my mic still doesn't work
