Earlier today, I noticed the following output from a Bacula job: 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Start Backup JobId 38548, Job=latens_home.2010-09-24_14.12.38_31 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Using Device “MegaFile-latens” 24-Sep 14:09 latens-fd JobId 38548: DIR and FD clocks differ by -307 seconds, FD automatically compensating. That’s 5 minutes. It shouldn’t be varying by that much.

Quite some time ago, FreshPorts and The FreeBSD Diary both moved from clear text passwords to password hashes. As such, you are no longer able to recover your password. You had to email me. This is extra work for everyone. Let us automate this. The first, step, is a table: create table user_password_reset( user_id int

Oh… Apparently this afflicted 7.3-RELEASE for a short while, then was corrected in 7.3-STABLE. So I’m not sure what problem I was encountering below. The consensus now is I was hitting MAXCPU. But I should have hit that on 7.2. I upgraded a VM to FreeBSD 7.3 from 7.2 and now it won’t boot. It

I recently upgraded xorg on my workstation at the office. Immediately I started seeing problems with one of the monitors. It would go empty/blank/black for three seconds, then resume normal operation. Then it would go blank again when I interacted with the screen. In short, that one monitor was completely useless.

I am impressed…. my gmirror array continued to work even after the drives were renamed from da20 and da24 to ada0 and ada1. This happened when I tried out the ahci(4) for my SATA drives. It’s the type of thing I’m striving for soon in my ZFS array. All this started when I wanted to
