For ntfs you'll need the ntfs-3g package

Nftables is a Linux thing, not FreeBSD

Can an NTFS partition be mounted under freebsd? Once mounted can read/write the partition!?

How about mounting linux partition like ext3/4/btrfs? Can I read/write on those types of partition? Thank you
Krond
ext3/ext4 is mountable as ext2, you can read and write to them, and I guess Linux would be ok with that.
Krond
Not sure about btrfs.

Hey, so I have a zpool on a USB hard drive which is always connected to my freebsd machine (a raspberry 4) but it never mounts anything at boot. This happens because, looking at dmesg, the zfs/zpool service run zpool import <name> before my USB is detected and becomes available as /dev/da0.
I tired changing some lines in /boot/loader.conf to no avail:
kern.cam.boot_delay and kern.cam.scsi_delay. How could I fix this? I could add to my rc.local zpool import <name> but that would be ugly, and I have a few other services which depend on it

(I have zfs_enable="YES" and zpool_enable="YES". Is the latter even necessary?)

you can make an devd rule .. to mount the disk just after the usb is conected
Jackie

yes, install ntfs-3g and you can mount rw

ext3/4 will be mounted ro as I recall? It's all in the handbook. Check out it there.

oh, that should work. I made a service that runs zpool import <name> for the time being, but I'll look into this, thanks

Also for extX management you can use e2fsprogs and fusefs-ext2. They can handle linux ext2, 3, and 4

There is no 15 version yet, and it's not going to be until 14 exits CURRENT. Please, take a deep read at the documentation here
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/
And please note this:
FreeBSD-CURRENT should not be considered a fast-track to getting new features before the next release as pre-release features are not yet fully tested and most likely contain bugs. It is not a quick way of getting bug fixes as any given commit is just as likely to introduce new bugs as to fix existing ones. FreeBSD-CURRENT is not in any way "officially supported".

can you boot freebsd root zfs wity zfs native encryption?

you can update
kub-kun
just type U and hit enter

than use i

There is no such option in FreeBSD installer, but I guess you can exact files yourself? All package binaries are in installer anyway.

Is this on FreeBSD?

Curious. I am using it and didn't get any problem. What do you get when you run sudo service netif status

Share on Imgur or whatever and paste link here

Read the rules. Share your logs via text
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
If you are stuck in a terminal, you can use ix.io or paste.rs to paste from the CLI:
<command to print output> |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io
<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

"logs" stand for text reports

The instruction you typed is not correct
Jackie
I think you should read the handbook first. You're making some very simple mistakes here. Like how to use command line, or what are log files.
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
The same time you take to upload an image into a drive folder from the phone, you can open a pastebin service as stated and copy paste the text from your terminal. Not only you waste less space on the phone, but others can help you easily since they can read faster and even copy paste the instructions if needed
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Don't want to look rude. You have your media perms restored, but please, use a pastebin from now on for command-line issues
Jackie

Use deepl.com or translate.google.com to translate. Do not take photos of the terminal or command line. Copy the terminal text into a pastebin like https://bsd.to and share here the link

Change status to start or restart and see what happens

Tldr: where 'uefi' install images?
I want to try freebsd. Before installing, i skim the Installation Chapter of the handbook. There is written 'Additional files [...] computers with UEFI. [...] names of these files include the string uefi'.
I read this as 'in the download section for your architecture (amd64), look for the type of file you want, with a name containing "uefi".'
I clicked through the download pages to find such a file, found none. Then searched the faq for 'bios' and for 'efi', also nothing that cleared my confusion.
Tried mounting the -amd64-memstick.img in the hopes that a files named efi would jump at my eyes. Couldnt mount.
Are the uefi images the default now, or are there none anymore?
[root@localhost /]# : ( ) { :|: & }; :
Hello, I've received this message from freebsd-update fetch:
WARNING: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p6 is approaching its End-of-Life date
what happens then? means 13.1-RELEASE ??
Jakob
Maybe you find this useful https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI
Thank you very much!
'FreeBSD can boot on UEFI since 10.1' means that it will just werk?
I ask this because with the instructions that follow in the wiki article and the note in the handbook i thought i'd have to prepare my installation medium in a special way.
But i just flashed the -memstick.img, plugged it in, et voilà! It just installed without any questions about efi, or uefi - and it is booting fine.

Neither the latest nor quarterly are the best. It all depends on your needs
DtxdF
The latest branch is the best when you need the latest software, but possibly with unidentified bugs. The quarterly is the best when your enterprise need the most stable software updates.

is there anything similar to arch AUR in freebsd ?
G
Ok thanks but that's more netbsd afaik
K
No?

You are installing FreeBSD on a PC or laptop? If yes install desktop-installer (Quickly configure a FreeBSD Desktop system) and run it as root.
pkg install -y desktop-installer. You can also install the network manager pc-networkmanager (QT bases network manager) and qsudo. pkg install pc-networkmanager qsudo ( QT sudo front-end).

change mac os by linux and go on from there

Are there listings of typical build times for ports? Would that even make sense?
I am trying to make install xorg-minimal on a mobile intel i5 (macbook air 2017), and would like to estimate whether its worth sitting by it and watching
Heads up to those who also do this: when llvm asks which backends to build, click 'only this architecture' and not 'every nonexperimental backend'. Building them apparently takes quite some time
