Stupid question about integer sizes

2013-02-19 Thread Borja Marcos
Hello, I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question, but as far as I know, u_int64_t defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h should *always* be a 64 bit unsigned integer, right? Seems there's a bug (or I need more and stronger coffee). Compiling a program on a 64 bit system with -m32 gets the 64

Chicken and egg, encrypted root FS on remote server

Hi, I've been trying to find a solution for this chicken and egg problem, how to have an encrypted root filesystem on a remote server. Geli can ask for a root password at the console to unlock the root fs but that of course won't work for a remote server. Ideally I'd like the server to start, do

As you may notice, I go way readonly freebsd, the upgrade is simply replace disk A with disk B, and all stays working. In my home setup there's no Vm, but SD card with base system, also in RO mode. This setup succesfully survived two upgrade-by-replace. And you always can keep old Os as backup. Re
