    This morning I converted two setups from "jail in jail" back to jail on VM. They worked well enough, but the advantages probably didn’t justify the changes needed to upgrade to FreeBSD 15.0, so for now they’re back in VMs. Still, I’m keeping everything ready and I’m not ruling anything out. In the end, it’s just a matter of a ZFS send and receive.#RunBSD #FreeBSD #ZFS

    #BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc! People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!Infos about how to connect by IRC to Libera IRC:- https://libera.chat/guides/connect#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #MidnightBSD #OpenSolaris #Debian #FreeVPS #VPS #FreeVM #VirtualMachines #OpenSource #BSD #RUNBSD

    @0xh4 NetBSD is great, and running fine on those old, low power devices makes it clear that it's well designed

Then did the above and it all seems ok as per folk on the web and OpenBSD docs but newfs_extfs just sits there doing nothing.Anyone help or have a simple idiot sheet of what to do from wiping the USB memory stick to setting up an ext2 partition and formatting it. Mounting it will be the easy part.
