Anyone wrote a LOT of data to a Linux ZFS array, and then hooked it up to a FreeBSD machine and imported that pool?

I am confused, what am I doing wrong? I get "dtrace: failed to control pid 37689: process exited with status 1" when doing dtrace -l -n 'pid$target:::entry' -c 'myprogram'

SponiX I have yes, why? around 40TB.

antranigv: Is it pretty straight forward? Just make the ZFS Filesystem on Linux, put data on it, export it, and then hook the drives up to the FreeBSD machine and import the pool = Profit?

Hey guys, using "TARGET=amd64" in "make buildworld" just build that target?

yes, it doesn't build codes specific for other architecures (than amd64) then

la_mettrie: cheers mate

SponiX: Can you expound? It should Just Work, as long as the feature flags are supported on the Linux in question.

How do we rebuild the kernel modules? I have an issue with dmesg saying "It can't load i915kms becos of unsupported file type"

(cd /usr/src && make -s kernel)

luser: cheers, give it a go

If it still errors you might need to (cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod && make install clean clean-depends)

 

wokko: "pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods" will fix the issue

we need this command in topic: "pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods" will fix i915kms issues after upgrade to 14.3-R

mzar: I downloaded to drm-66-kmod in ports and magically fixed the issue :)

OK

is drm-66-kmod working in 14.3?

It's for >15

yeah that's what I thought

thedaemon: not supported on older than 1500031, no kernel support

just still having drm-61 system freezes :(

drm-kmod has been working for a long time until today after an upgrade

thedaemon: is it amd ?

amd 6750xt

upgrade to 14.3, it's fixed

I am on 14.3

:(

Mine is still not fixed.

so you need new pkg

I understand, I am not a newbie :) I built from updated port just to be safe

upgrade: pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods"

thedaemon: OK, so your issue hasn't been fixed, but problem with memory fragmentation on amdgpu is fixed in 14.3

that's great!

Do you know if any fixes have happened 61 vs 66 ?

I don't know, I am using 66 on old radeon GPU and it just works

okay :)

I'm running this version drm-61-kmod 6.1.128.1403000_4

looks like 1403 means it's built for 14.3

My bug report

ha.. old one

yeah it plagues me

thedaemon: you get your shit together yet?

haha no

I keep on falling in and out, of love, with drm.

chances are you just need to pull the latest version of /usr/ports and then go to graphics/drm-61-kmod and build it from source

it should WORK then

I know there is a kmod repo now, but I've yet to use that. So not 100% sure how reliable it is

SponiX: I did that :P

it hates my particular gpu I think

I blame Microsoft

thedaemon: did you make sure to have xf86-video-amdgpu installed also?

If not, do that and try again

but why? lol

I have navi22

How do I get route metric. netstat -rn doesn't show it

ifconfig has it for each interface

Hello all, I have a question: does running the Linux Compatibility mode after installing linux_base-c7 use up a lot of resources? I want to be able to use Visual Studio Code to edit files on my FreeBSD server, and cannot do that unless I get this compatibility layer in, however, the machine is not quite a beefy machine. So am worried if this would

have a significant impact on RAM.

Linkoid01: the only resources used (other than some kernel bookkeeping data) are the resources used by the Linux program(s) that are running. that includes glibc and any other libraries it needs. also, i think there's a native version of VS Code in ports

I see. I am on a windows machine; I am aware that there is VS Code in ports but it does not help me connect to FreeBSD machines via VS Code

would I need to enable the same compatibility mode in each jail that I run in order to get VS Code to work on each jail?

burie: `route -n get $route` . ifconfig metric is something else

Linkoid01 I think there's VSCode in ports.

Last Update: 2025-06-14 06:20:19

Linkoid01 you can do `pkg install vscode`

I'm on a windows machine, how does VS Code help me in ports?

All I want to do is ssh to the machine like a regular linux machine and be able to edit my files that way

Linkoid01 I think I misunderstood your question :-) I thought you wanted VSCode ON FreeBSD.

okay, no worries

Ohhh. that's the VSCode SSH Agent thingie, right?

yes, Remote - SSH

it's a wonderful tool

do you know what vscode actually does? i.e., is it trying to upload and run a Linux executable?

Yeah. VSCode is kind of stupid when it comes to remote edits. It checks the remote OS and determines whether or not it's supported.

Linkoid01: gaelanlloyd.com/blog/how-to-connect…sual-studio-code-to-freebsd-servers

maybe sshfs (or whatever the Windows equivalent is) would be an easier solution, or at least less fragile

ek: perhaps the new RL9 packages would fix that particular issue

ivy: It looks like it requires Linux's BASH to run (again, kinda stupid).

I'd imagine any linux compat would work.

yes, I am aware. My first question is: Does running the linux compatibility take up a lot of resources? this is a 16GB memory machine with a very low powered CPU.

Linkoid01: Nope. You won't even notice it at all.

And do I need to enable the same for each jail?

Ok, great to hear that ek

For anything you'd be connecting to with VSCode, it'll need access to that compat bash. So, you can either mount that compat area to each jail, or install the compat on each jail. I'd think the first would be quickest, easiest, and smallest footprint.

At least, I'd think that should work. I've very rarely used linux_compat and never used VSCode.

Linkoid01: If you use RL9 linux compat, this looks interesting: github.com/morganwdavis/vscode-server-freebsd

hey Linkoid01 , did you find a solution?

I am getting: KLD i915kms.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch ; any tips?

I'm on 15-CURRENT

and drm-kmod compiled from ports
