Is the NFS mounted filesystem NFS? I've found NFS mounted ZFS has several pathologies like this when there is no SSD cache and/or log vdevs attached. On Wed, Oct 6, 2021 at 10:18 PM Felix Palmen wrote: > Hi all, > > I use a -CURRENT bhyve vm for testing port builds with poudriere. As > this vm

AMD RAID support?

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

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
