ivy, I didn't know docker was a client-server application before.

scottpedia, but not vice versa

ant-x: yes. I prefer freebsd's simplicity.

linux is evolving fast, discarding a lot of the old utilities

that is truly I think an unnecessary act

Hmmm. I have installed Podman, but it fails because it tries to access /dev/zfs, which I have not. Does Podman require ZFS on FreeBSD?

OK, that can be fixed in storage.conf .

does freebsd support bridging a wifi client interface? I found wds mode, but it reads like this is only for APs

satanist: no, bridging requires WDS (this is a general limitation of wifi, not specific to freebsd). but you should be able to configure the wifi card to connect in WDS mode

I know the greneral wifi limitation (fuckup with 2-4 mac-addresses), I just don't find documentation on general support in freebsd and if my wifi-nic supports this and how to set up

a test with setting wifimode to wds and bridge it to a vm resulted in no network on the vm

you may find the "dwds" ifconfig(8) option useful, although i don't know what cards and/or APs support this off hand

will check thanks

Is there any way to issue UMAP (e.g. TRIM) on USB devices from FreeBSD? From what I understand, it is a part of the UAS (usb-attached scsi) protocol.

Ltning: freebsd doesn't support UAS, so if that's required, then no. otherwise i don't know

Yea that's what I thought. I tried virtualbox with usb pass-through, but the emulated controller doesn't support streaming mode so that was no go

Had to boot a linux stick

I have a framework 13" with one nvme stick and one usb storage module, which I'm zfs-mirroring (for redundancy, not performance obviously..). But I regularly need to trim the entire USB disk from some other OS to keep it performing acceptably.

Lately it has been giving me 20-30MB/s transfer speeds, or less. Now that it has been trimmed it is back at ~3-400MB/s peak.

i believe UAS requires changes to the USB stack itself (the xhci driver), so you might need to pass through the entire usb controller (the pci device) for that to work

UAS?

ah

Reinhilde: a really cool standard, murdered at birth by corporate rent seeking (patents)

oh no

although i guess some people are actually implementing it now

intefucktual propertate

How did the linux world implement it then, in kernel 2.6.37 or so? If licensing/patents is a problem?

i believe the issue is around hardware implementation, rather than the drivers
