Boot process stalls at "dm_target_zero: Successfully initialized"

2018-03-01 Thread M. L. Wilson
Hello All, I did a fresh install of 5.0.2 with disk encryption which was then immediately upgraded to the latest master on a Thinkpad X230. The filesystem being used is HAMMER2. The entire setup was done via the installer, minus boot blocks because there is only one disk in the machine. My is

Zotero on DragonFly

2018-03-02 Thread M. L. Wilson
Hello! If there is anyone else on DragonFly using Zotero with firefox-esr 52, it seems as though on May 8th firefox-esr 52 becomes depricated in favor of firefox-esr 60. The new versions of Firefox beginning with 57 break compatibility with a number of useful plugins. The Zotero developers ha

Daniel, I had a similar issue some weeks ago. I could not really track down the real culprit but your description and dmesg output were similar to mine. Somehow, a full world/kernel rebuild solved the issue as I have not seen it again. Michael On 03/20/2018 10:04 AM, Daniel Bilik wrote: On

+1 H1's "mirror-stream" is a killer feature, low overhead and just works. In my case, compression and live deduplication were enough for me to make the switch wholesale from H1 to H2. The vast majority of my data are highly compressible and often replicated throughout thousands of directory h

Is a master-to-multiple-slave setup functionally the same as "device ganging" per the H2 design document? Would such a setup mean that a failed drive could be rebuilt by adding a new block device, designating it as either a master or slave and the data would be rebuilt on that drive? Or said in

Hi, The Threadripper discussion has been very interesting. Will these adjustments to NUMA for Threadripper's topography also apply to Epyc also? Or will more nuanced work need to be done once an Epyc system becomes available? M On 08/20/2018 09:05 AM, Matthew Dillon wrote: It will depend on

How time flies, I have been a DragonFly user since about 2013. Certainly not as long as many of you but I got a very good introduction to *nix administration from the senior fellows around here and on IRC. DragonFly is a wonderful OS and has a very dedicated community that has built up around it. F

Interesting that this happens to you. Quite often after having been ssh'ed into my DragonFly box, my ssh sessions hang on exit and have to be killed manually also. On 12/4/19 11:08 AM, Pierre Abbat wrote: > I just added some text to the DocBook file of PerfectTIN, which is compiled > by > pandoc
