Is there some reliable way to identify a serial device on freebsd?

this device likes to bounce between /dev/ttyU0 and /dev/ttyU1

tk: I don't quite know how to do this, but you need something that notices events on the usb port, takes the vendor and product ID and from that assigns the correct ttyUX

on OpenBSD hotplugd would help

hello folks

anyone here?

hi

thedaemon: hi I have a feature proposal to discuss. would you mind that we do it in PM?

hard pass. lol

is it a yes or no?

I've been unable to find both sane and technically qualified individuals for such a discussion.

I'm sane, but doubt I'm technically qualified for anything.

I am a user of the OS

Discuss here

is anybody here aware of a feature by microsoft called "native boot"?

there isn't a way to set zfs max arc by %?

scottpedia, I know just enough about Microsoft Native Boot to know it appears to be a way for MS users to multi-boot between Windows 10 and Windows 11 on the same system. I have always advocated against multi-boot systems myself. You will always be booted into the other OS when you want the other one. Better to set up a virtual machine system so that you have access to both more easily.

Probably need #microsoft or something to find people knowledgeable about it.

Macer, I am often seeing people asking how to limit the ZFS ARC size but I have never needed to do this myself. ARC size is dynamic. On my system if I run something that consumes userland memory and the kernel then the kernel will reduce the size of the ARC dynamically. This works for me. Does it not work for you?

Remember that if you see memory that is listed as free memory then that is memory that is being useless at that time and not doing anything. The kernel will put it to work being file system buffer cache. This is a good thing. It speeds up the system by caching disk reads. But if that RAM is needed for other purposes then it will be dynamically reassigned to those other things.

Seeing a lot of free memory means the system is going to be running slower than it could be if that memory were put to work doing something useful.
