bsdinstall distextract and manual installation

Hello, I prefer manual installations so I was always going to fixit mode and doing something like: cd /dist/8.2-RELEASE/base install.sh Now there is no install.sh script in 9.0-RC2 anymore. Am I right thinking that "bsdinstall distextract" should do the same thing? If yes then what is the

Installing ZFS on 9.0-RC2

I'm planning to upgrade to 9.0 soon and thought this might be a good opportunity to switch over to ZFS so I'm currently experimenting on a spare drive with the 9.0-RC2 DVD. I started off following the procedure in http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot but hit a problem in that the the

Diagnosing packet loss

Dear All, I am stuck with a machine that shows serious packet loss (about 1% of all traffic is dropped). I tried the obvious (new network cable, different switch port, different ethernet interface on the machine), but the problems remain. Another machine that sits in the same rack and is hooked

Well, 1% is not good but I've seen worse for sure! Sounds like you tried the obvious. I would recommend a different IP to rule out a dupe ip; else it must be NIC related - either hardware or driver. Also, perhaps swap cables and ports with a working machine and see if the problem follows or s

Re: Diagnosing packet loss

Dear Gary, Thank you for your reply. Your comment about dupe IP triggered something that I failed to mention: the interface is aliased. It has two IP addresses. IP address a and it has an alias IP address b. I just tested binding mtr to each of these interfaces separately to measure packet loss
