It is pedigreed process written on manpages. manmancurrdevloaddev The UEFI firmware gets BOOTX64.EFI up in EFI system partition. Next it runs the boot1.efi, then the loader.efi is lunched, and finally the kernel boots up. Actually the process is supposed to move ahead as BOOTX64.EFI text/html 2022-01-06T13:04:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nofu.jp/wiki/en/blog/2021/2021-01-09?rev=1641441888 How to boot a FreeBSD system in any partitions with loader.efi In about FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, loader.efi has been used as UEFI bootloader instead of prior boot.efi. Both loaders can boot a FreeBSD system from ZFS or UFS file system. The loader.efi only looks for the boot file system from the disk which the loader is loaded from, though the boot1.efi does it from its disk and also another disks. Briefly speaking, current loader.efi can't boot the system from other disks. Well, it can do it if w… text/html 2021-12-06T11:05:57+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nofu.jp/wiki/en/blog/2021/2021-01-16?rev=1638756357 ConnectX-3 VF finally works in Windows guest on PVE!

It's a long story, I imported a RAIDZ pool which consisted of 4 HDDs and was created by FreeBSD to a ZoL environment as a degraded pool consisted of 3 HDDs. Although scrub was automatically running, I cancelled it and exported it, then tried to import the entire 4 HDDs on the BSD system, but it couldn't. text/html 2021-06-01T08:54:39+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nofu.jp/wiki/en/blog/2021/2021-05-02?rev=1622505279 VirtIO RNG may cause high CPU utilization by rand_harvestq in FreeBSD 13 VM I found my home server suddenly got increased power consumption. Its difference was up to 30W, so it's not obviously error. It was caused by powering up FreeBSD VM on ProxmoxVE, but I had no reasonable reasons.

The SSD is read and written 1520465GB = 1.5PB, so it's a slightly fishy stuff, but the price is quite low as PCIe Gen4 2TB NVMe SSD. Its endurance is promoted as 1 DWPD which is equivalent to 3540 TBW for enterprise. This means its lifetime still remains more than half according to the
