best cross platform file system to use for external drives between windows and freebsd? Will freeBSD mount FAT32 without fuse?
XS
exfat ?

As @xsuuu mentions, exfat is widely compatible. As for the second question, I guess you can mount FAT32 using mount_msdosfs
Kueppo
Now I think of it, EFI partition must be in fat32 which might be a clear proof of it compatibility with diff OSs.

Thanks

I spend trying to solve this issue whole night. For someone on telegram. Here is my conclusion - You have a drilling machine?
Jackie
of course not😂
Jackie
just a very old laptop is all
Suraj

Its time for a new one then.

I am typing on the new one right now talking to you. Only it's running Debian Linux. I use the old laptop just for web browsing and movie stuff.
Jackie
Nvidia legacy driver was not as stable as I expected so I thought I could give BSD a try.
Jackie
Your HDD is dead. dude just get the point.
If you read my meg you'll know it's not.
Suraj
or try this.

My bad in our case it was dead.
Jackie
I am using it with no error on my Linux box now, should I still run ntfsfix? don't get the point
Jackie
thanks. will try that tonight when I get home.
Jackie
doesn't seem to be working

My best guess is to extract all the data in another machine and trying to format it again, maybe directly from FreeBSD in the format you want (ntfs, exfat...)
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Then you can try again to mount it, and thus verify if it's the disk or the tooling causing the issue
Jackie
unfortunately I don't have another 4T disk to hold all data
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Ouch >.<
Kueppo
If you can find any windows OS, then try to fix it with chkdsk, ntfsfix doesn't really work that fine as compare to chkdsk. Also this input/error error is somehow scary, usually happens when the drive is BAD.
Kueppo
ntfsfix should be renamed to ntfschk, it doesn't always work when I try to use it.
Jackie
Thanks, will try

Any solution to the slow download speeds of pkg?

Pkg always gets stuck here.. what to do?
Denis
Check if you have disk i/o errors in dmesg
Denis
Change pkg's source site

Still doesn't work

Use ktrace to check what pkg is doing at the time

man ktrace

Use a pastebin like tool for that ie: https://t.me/FreeBSD1/17664

Don't have a web browser till now. And can't install until pkg works😐

Oh, but do you have internet connection? In such case You can also use ix.io or paste.rs like: $ <command to print output> |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io $ <command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs
Denis
This is a parent process, not the one you see.
Denis
Looks like pkg forking out a clone which do the job
Denis
Use -f flag to follow a child

Denis
well, it is working it seems
Denis
:)
Denis
at least, reading/writing data
Denis
give it some time, maybe it is just slow
Denis
use ctrl-t to check at what syscall it is in at the moment
Denis
or, if pkg supports SIGINFO, you will see some more informative info
