Hi Jose,
with the freebsd-update method you don't need to pass through the "make
installworld" as it's a binary patch/upgrade system.
Using "freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RELEASE" for example allows you to
get your system patched directly without recompiling the kernel and the

Hi,

Hi,
I'm trying to hack the code of tbancontrol, a linux tool used to control
t-balancer fan controllers that use FTDI FT232BL chips. It seems to be
working fine on linux, but when I try to use it on FreeBSD, I noticed
that read calls fail with "Interruted system call". It seems there is

I still consider myself to be a newbie (see my various posts for

I've been hoping to have something useful to contribute back, and I

Hello list
I followed instructions for ZFS on
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSQuickStartGuide, substituting ad6 and ad10
(two new SATA3 1TB disks) for da0 da1 and da2 in the instructions. I
was surprised to see only 993GB in /tank/. Is this expected, or is it
user error? Also, these disks are completel

Greetings from newbie land.
I have what I hope is a simple question about using packages offline, with
particular reference to XFCE if that matters. I am not so much asking "how
do I do this?" as I am "Do I understand this correctly?"
I have read the appropriate sect

Kind of old now. I don't know specifically of any reason that would
matter, but for several reasons I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Hello. I come across device.hints manual which says I can set irq for
each device there. I am using 6.1.
The settings I made in devices.hints never worked. e.g.
hint.uhci.0.at="pci"
