Reinhilde: sorry, i didn't know that channel existed

Reinhilde: maybe it could be added to the topic?

I'm not an op

You'd need to ask someone with power to add the channel to the topic.

FreeBSD 15's new buildworld from source is awesome. Much faster.

I have an issue with iSCSI - both the server and client are FreeBSD. The server with the zvol to be served is still FreeBSD 14.3, the client is 15.1. Now my issue is that it sometimes irreversibly locks up all I/O on the client. Sometimes it already happens when formatting the block device, sometimes it locks up when mounting, and sometimes when trying to write. What could cause that?

zilti: I've never used iSCSI but as a thought, are you able to produce a tcpdump of the traffic to identify what is happening on the link when the issue occurs?

luser: I have no clue about tcpdump, but if all else fails I'll keep that in mind and will dig into learning about it

zilti: run 'tcpdump -i <interface> -w </path/to/file.pcap>' and then try trigger the event. Once the event has happened, load the pcap into wireshark and review the TCP/IP stream to try identify the cause.

The pcap may be very large depending on how long it take for the issue to happen, so ensure you have enough storage for it.

Well, "mount" just hangs indefinitely, so I suppose it doesn't make sense to run tcpdump for longer than about five seconds until the iscsi timeout

Don't save the pcap to iSCSI storage. lol ;)

heh :)

Give it a go, might help.

Hey, I'm trying to install ports, but there are already a heap of files in `/usr/ports`, but it is not a git directory either, so I'm unable to update it. Should it be OK to delete the content of /usr/ports so I can then clone the git repo? paste.rs/pBicj.txt

hag: yes. Perfectly fine.

Awesome! Thank you!

Sorry, what's the current quarterly branch?

I use main, personally.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I fixed it by chance. Seems like the mistake was to use IPv6. Switched to IPv4, works like a charm now.

Good to hear. Well done.

any thunderbird users ardoun?

jbo: Present

dnp1, do you use a microsoft office365 / whatever account with it?

according to thunderbird/mozzila docs there should be an OAuth selection when adding a new account, but I don't have that

"Authentication Method" doesn't show anything OAuth for me

I'm about to reinstall FreeBSD. How stable is "Packages" approach to installing the base system so far? Have you encountered problems with it? I plan to use jails, if that can affect the decision of choosing between packages and distribution sets...

jbo: Unfortunatley I am not using o365.

I'm assuming that you are using an enterprise account?

correct

dnp1, could you check if you have the option in the dropdown?

I dnon't have an enterprise account, but I will see what I can replicate. Just trying to add the mail account, correct?

andreas303: quite stable for me. I'm also heavily utilizing jails in my setup (though my jails are designed to be easily recreated from scratch at any time; I'm using AppJail for more or less deterministic rebuilds).

ianthetechie: I see. I'll try out the Packages approach then.

dnp1: I did get the oauth popup and was able to authenticate with a non-enterprise account.

dnp1, hmm, thanks

I wonder why I don't have the oauth option in the dropdown :<

dnp1, do you h ave any plugins installed or just www/thunderbird?

It wasn't a drop down for me, based on the email address I provided, the oauth page popped up and prompted me.

No plugins, just the build from port.

Proably not the most current release.

alright, thank you. I'll try again later tonight

While poking around my system, I just got to thinking that since I've converted to pkgbase, I should be able to remove sendmail from base, just leave dma, yes? Not that I am using mail yet.

Is that a correct assessment?

mns: Yep. That's fine.

this might give you some slight headaches on upgrade, but if that was a 14.x pkgbase system still you won't notice those headaches anyways

in 15.x you would have a 'set' installed and removing a pkg that's in the set breaks the set, iirc. it's not the end-goal, which is something more like a group that you can subscribe to and remove some bits without losing the ability to pick up new pkgs on upgrades

kevans: yeah I'm on 14.4p7

FreeBSD for the longest time had issues with large git repos and slow(er) disks when it had to read uncached data. Was the fixed in 14 or 15+?

Well sendmail shouldn't be part of any sets should it since DMA has replaced it in base?

IPSEC in a VNET jail, possible?

spork_css, Yes, it's possible
