@feld there was a firmware upgrade about 18 months ago that definitely helped https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update I see there’s a newer one on Samsung site now
@feld I’ve had this issue on 3 systems, from low load proxy and firewall, to high periodic load desktop/poudriere, and constant medium load server. In all cases a full power cycle is required to recover.
@feld yep same ones. I’m going to see if I can send them back and get some €€CASH$$. What I see is repeater controller disconnects on every system I have them in. Did yours actually fail completely?
@jpaskaruk running it in production here without issues for around 9 months. I’m one of the FreeBSD podman maintainers and I have a big pile of doc updates to push this weekend. In the interim https://whiskey.skunkwerks.at/en/books/handbook/containers/ is where it’s at, when that disappears they’ll be on the usual handbook. AMA. @david_chisnall
@feld @pertho I still have not tried its new ACME cert renewal. It looks more cumbersome than caddy, but HAProxy has to cater for a significantly larger scale.
I have used haproxy for so many things, like dog-legging iSCSI implementations in a cloud env to be able to get pcaps while boxes are booting, it's my favourite unix tool, followed closely by curl.
@pertho www/h2o but everything is smeared with haproxy-lua in front.
#FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE is out!
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/relnotes/
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/announce/
There are too many people to thank individually here but big shout-outs go to:
Colin Percival, Release Engineer Extraordinaire and Professional Cat Herder. You wrangle the zoo like you were born to it.
The security team who rightly shoveled as many fixes from upstream projects and internal ones into this release so we don't have to patch it. Your efforts are substantial and gratefully appreciated.
srcmgr team who diagnosed and whipped up a fix for some of the weirdest boot loader issues I've seen in a long time.
ports team who had their bits in place for the release weeks ago, and we could use and test them all through the release cycle.
The docs team who made the release notes better than ever before, updated the website, tweaked the links, and finagled the manpages. The handbook never looked so good!
The clusteradm team who make pushing "the bits" out all over the world look like it was instant.
To the hundreds of committers and contributors who put time, energy, and love into this release, as always.
Sponsors from Fastly.com and Amazon.com who fund a lot of the speedy package updates and downloads we now enjoy, and the many sites around the world running donated hardware and network facilities, all over the globe.
A special thanks to contributors @markmcb and @thismarkp who worked for many months on the website redesign. Everybody who worked on the announcement is riffing off your work. It was a long time fermenting from within the system, and I'm very grateful for your patience.
And finally, to our RC testers who persevered through a longer-than-expected cycle, to give us another fine and well-polished release. We couldn't do this without you.
@jana I have no problems on FreeBSD with this. I use keychain from funtoo, and resident keys, without issue. I have a short function to run at login to load the key via pin, and then after that it’s touch and go each time. I can dig out some notes if you need it.
@brnrd and yet not all port maintainers do this @distrowatch @grahamperrin @kaidenshi
@brnrd if you have a suggestion for the upstream sources I can write a thing to simplify it. flua or perl probably.
@dexter what's missing? I would probably want to fix that.
@dexter so in the podman world we have a FreeBSD-toolchain container. This is supposed to be sufficient to build most programs, and also FreeBSD itself.
This list of packages is https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/release/tools/ and is recursive:
with a dash of grep this ends up as:
FreeBSD-base
FreeBSD-bmake
FreeBSD-certctl **
FreeBSD-clibs
FreeBSD-dma **
FreeBSD-fetch **
FreeBSD-inetd **
FreeBSD-ipf **
FreeBSD-ipfw **
FreeBSD-kerberos-lib
FreeBSD-libarchive
FreeBSD-libexecinfo
FreeBSD-libucl
FreeBSD-mtree
FreeBSD-natd **
FreeBSD-netmap **
FreeBSD-openssl-lib
FreeBSD-pf **
FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap
FreeBSD-rc
FreeBSD-runtime
FreeBSD-set-devel
FreeBSD-set-minimal-jail
FreeBSD-ssh **
FreeBSD-telnet **
FreeBSD-xz
FreeBSD-zfs **
FreeBSD-zoneinfo
** indicates we needed it for jail stuff but not strictly toolchain.
I've started this now & will report back!
@mwl you can probably run pkg clean -a and get a bunch more free too from /var/cache/pkg.
Nobody can afford to waste or buy storage these days.
@AFresh1 wrt smart, actually I did this a few years ago on a customer project if nobody else knows better that's probably sufficient. I'm not up on smartmon tooling, YMMV. I just wait for the zpool scrubs to get angry.
