Well actually it wasn't dark or stormy then, but it is both tonight as I write this, so it almost fits. Get BSD Stuff We debated a lot about whether to go to BSDCan. Daemon News and BSDMall spend a lot of money each year attending various Unix conferences trying to promote and advocate BSD. There was no question this conference was focused on BSD, but were we wasting time and money by preaching to the choir? However I really wanted to go and show support for Dan Langille and all the work he put in to this, so I finally decided that I would just have to pack up the whole family and go no matter what the final outcome. The two day drive from Illinois through Michigan and Toronto was pretty uneventful. We called Michael Lucas on our way through Michigan to get his opinion on where to stop along the way since our journey took us almost past his front door step. He had been scheduled to speak at BSDCan, but had to bow out in favor of caring for his wife after surgery. I have always regarded Michael very highly and his decisions to keep his family his top priority only served to strengthen that opinion.

    OPENBSD HARDWARE SENSORS FRAMEWORK A unified and ready-to-use system for hassle-ee hardware monitoring. Constantine A. Murenin and Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo AsiaBSDCon 2009 — 12–15 March 2009 — Tokyo, Japan Abstract In this paper, we will discuss the origin, history, design guidelines, API and the device drivers of the hardware sensors framework available in OpenBSD. The framework spans multiple utilities in the base system and the ports tree, is utilised by over 70 drivers, and is considered to be a distinctive and ready-to-use feature that sets OpenBSD apart from many other operating systems, and in its root is inseparable from the OpenBSD experience. 1.

    FreeNAS - Feature #1974 VirtualBox can't be installed inside a Jail due to kernel module dependency 12/29/2012 04:30 PM - Marcus Ahlberg Status: Resolved Estimated time: 0.00 hour Priority: Nice to have Assignee: John Hixson Category: Target version: 9.2.1.6-RELEASE Severity: New Needs Merging: Yes Reason for Closing: Needs Automation: No Reason for Blocked: Support Suite Ticket: n/a Needs QA: Yes Hardware Configuration: Needs Doc: Yes Description I have been trying to find a solution on how to install [[VirtualBox]] on a [[FreeNAS]] host. With memory so cheap, the power of a [[FreeNAS]] box should be enough for a couple of virtual servers. The problem I have come across is the fact that [[FreeBSD]] jails share the kernel with the host and Virtualbox needs to load a module into the kernel. I have found a possible solution for installing the kernel module on the host and then installing virtualbox inside a jail. This solution however assumes a full [[FreeBSD]] host where the ports tree can be used. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=21897 I quickly tried to install virtualbox-ose-kmod-legacy using pkg_add on the host, but I couldn't load it due to "KLD vboxnetflt.ko: depends on netgraph - not available or version missmatch". I haven't dug any deeper into this problem. What I call for is support for software add-ons that require kernel modules to be loaded on the host. History #1 - 12/29/2012 04:57 PM - Josh Paetzel The first stopper you are hitting here is the lack of the netgraph kernel module on [[FreeNAS]].
