Trying to read linux-lvm on 11.0-RC2 using geom, bhyve, fail.

I'm converting some Xen/Debian/Windows domain servers to FreeBSD/Bhyve/Samba domain servers. Windows is still required for a couple of applications, but I've recently had enough success with Samba4 to try this. Not the problem. The machines have two disks (was RAID-1 before, will be RAID-1

As I said I would, I put the contents of /boot onto the FAT-formated EFI partition. This is suboptimal. The default is to use "kernel.old" ... etc ... which cannot be done on a FAT partition... at least not with our filesystem driver ... ... but with all of /boot on the EFI partition, simply

If you're thinking on it, you should know that the DVD version works. The difference, AFAICT, is that it simply calls loader.efi directly. Ie: bootx64.efi is loader.efi, not boot1.efi. Loader.efi doesn't seem to change the screen mode when it starts. When the kernel starts afterwards, this

AMD RAID support?

2018-10-04 Thread Zaphod Beeblebrox
Are there any plans to support AMD RAID? AMD RAID is _like_ Intel RAID, but has a number of differences. One is that it requires UEFI (without UEFI it does not boot, at least). It comes on/with AMD motherboards for Zen and Threadripper processors. It also only supports RAID 0/1/10, that is: no

As someone who controls both ends of the link (runs the ISP, has service from the ISP), so far (a bit out of laziness) I have the following solution... Now... of note is that we statically assign addresses. This is not just being nice, but being practical. We deal out IPv4 addresses vi IPCP,
