  • (Quote) As an old school hacker, you should know very well that 4am is very productive time!
  • In case anybody has been trying to set up FreeBSD as a VPN server and has been struggling with somewhat lackluster network performance with virtio drivers (e1000 actually work very well in KVM), keep on reading. Despite @linveo having excellent net…
  • (Quote) May I ask what was your experience with them? What made you go back to Slack?
  • (Quote) "Sold out servers will be automatically removed from the sale list."
  • The handbook should have everything needed: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#kernelconfig-building https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#ports-using https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#ports-poudr…
  • Thank you everybody involved to put this together! I'll definitely try this out .
  • (Quote) This is the problem with x86_64 image. Regular x86 works fine.
  • (Quote) Since everything "just works" every day and night, there's not much to report but 100% uptime across the board! FreeBSD 14.2 is going to arrive in early December, so that'll bring some new excitement and bunch of work to get all t…
  • (Quote) Not sure, but it might be just scanning all the possible hardware upon the initial boot. Since you only see two errors in the next boot, it might have marked most of them 'not found' or something like that so it wouldn't keep trying. (Quote…
  • (Quote) Thank you for the offer! Since it sounds like everybody else has already gone to AMD, I think it is better for me to stay on Intel for now so we can test both of the platforms out and make sure we have a solid solution going forward.
  • Accidental double post.
  • (Quote) I went through all FreeBSD templates on my Intel instance and they all got installed and worked fine. 13.3 did take some extra time bringing the network interface up, but eventually it started as well. When it comes to FreeBSD, virtio networ…
  • (Quote) I tried it out with my Intel instance and I still see the kernel crash/reboot cycle like before. Please check how it works on AMD.
  • (Quote) If you want to setup another VM with those settings, I can give it a try too.
  • (Quote) It seems to be no-go. Powered the VM off and it doesn't even boot anymore. Control panel just says FAILED after trying for 49 seconds.
  • (Quote) Yes please change my VM's settings, let's give it a try!
  • Does VirtFusion have CPU topology settings hidden somewhere? When I look at the server creation API (https://docs.virtfusion.com/api/#api-Servers-Build), it mentions cpuCores in the hypervisor section, but I don't see API to manipulate them. "…
  • Excellent discovery @cmeerw ! Looking at the kernel code at https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/x86/x86/cpu_topology.c lp_max means the maximum logical processors and core_max obviously maximum cores per package that it de…
  • (Quote) I tried this out since I was curious about its implementation. By default it is trying to access /proc/meminfo which works fine in Linux but doesn't exist in *BSD out of the box. It actually uses freecolor for the memory information on FreeB…
  • I noticed Linveo VirtFusion panel had changed its appearance, so I was wondering if a newer version was installed with potentially better support, but booting NetBSD and OpenBSD ISOs failed the same old way.
  • I have had one VirMach VM since 2018 and with mixed feelings I have to say that it has one of the highest uptimes I have ever had. Based on everything I have read over here it shouldn't be possible, but it is.
  • (Quote) Sorry I forgot to reply to this earlier. It should be past the initial kernel loading as it shows the progress and ends at 18482656+671680+1425472 [871029+1254864+897200]=0x16e2aa0. I believe after the core kernel loading it should start l…
  • FreeBSD works great on the Linveo instance and I'm very happy with its performance. Network is snappy and the node doesn't feel like it is crowded at all. Disk I/O is superfast. With both Root-on-ZFS and swap encryptions there's no noticeable perfor…
  • @Not_Oles Just saying as a friend, you might find more peacefulness for example by going fishing. Perhaps it would be time for you to take a day or two off instead of trying to deep deeper meaning in file listings.
  • I was able to get a screenshot of 9.4 just before the reboot and it was showing WARNING: couldn't open /var/db/entropy-file Loading /stand/amd64/9.4/modules/cd9660/cd9660.kmod just before it crashes. Perhaps the kernel is not able to load the modu…
  • (Quote) Interesting, that made it work! It has worked well elsewhere for me just by using rc.conf and without any manual route setting, so it didn't even cross my mind. I was automatically expecting something to be wrong in the environment. Thanks f…
  • (Quote) It is the same thing in TX, /64 doesn't work even though the panel tells you that. 48 will make the default router pingable, but traffic doesn't seem to go further than that though.
  • OpenBSD 7.2 i386 - boots OpenBSD 7.3 i386 - boots OpenBSD 7.4 i386 - boots OpenBSD 7.5 i386 - boots OpenBSD 7.2 amd64 - boot hangs late OpenBSD 7.3 amd64 - boot hangs late OpenBSD 7.4 amd64 - boot hangs late OpenBSD 7.5 amd64 - boot hangs late OpenB…
  • OpenBSD 7.2 i386 actually did boot. Let me do some more testing here.
  • (Quote) Interesting...I tried booting OpenBSD with netboot.xyz and it hangs when scanning the scsibus (or after it). The behavior is the same when using a regular ISO boot. My VM is in TX and I believe yours is in AZ, correct? I'm wondering whether …
  • (Quote) FreeBSD just works.
  • (Quote) Get that BSD rockin'!
  • I went through the latest OpenBSD and NetBSD ISOs and i just couldn't get them booting up despite of whatever boot options I used, so it is a big bummer. Hopefully VF support can give some pointers on how to get this stuff working. I'd really like t…
  • FreeBSD 14.1 ISO installation worked well too. i need to spend some more time with NetBSD and OpenBSD templates and ISOs over the weekend. Hopefully we'll get everything working.
  • (Quote) Yes I see the same problem myself and OpenBSD is also failing to boot after fresh installation from the template. It is stuck at "Switching console to com0" @linveo you might want to check these out. FreeBSD templates do seem to w…
  • You could setup X and things to create a nice remote desktop for you.
  • (Quote) PM sent, thank you for your offer!
  • (Quote) I'm second in line!
  • It is very nice to see a lot of comments already on this thread! Thank you @FrankCastle and @Not_Oles for putting such a strong effort into this and making the thread happen! I personally started with FreeBSD many years ago when I had issues gettin…
