Two or more exports files, is it feasible?

2019-10-28 Thread Thomas Mueller
Is is possible to have two or more /etc/exports files, using different names of course? One possible scenario is having one exports file for NFS 4 and one for NFS3, for clients that don't support NFS 4? NetBSD, for instance, does not support NFS 4, though they are slowly working on it. Tom

Umounting an NFS-mounted share after connection is lost?

2019-10-28 Thread Thomas Mueller
How do you umount a file system that has been mounted with mount_nfs when the connection is lost? Server can crash, cable modem could quit and not hold power, or a change in cable modem or router could change 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 . Running umount hangs the terminal session. Is there a wa

Can Ethernet and wi-fi be used concurrently?

2019-06-22 Thread Thomas Mueller
I would like to know if it is possible to have both Ethernet and wi-fi running concurrently? Purpose would be, if the cable service is down, meaning no internet access but intranet OK, to continue to have intranet access while using wi-fi with a mobile phone as hotspot to aceess the internet.

Working around unsupported Ethernet card with PXE or UEFI?

2019-06-20 Thread Thomas Mueller
Is it possible to build and install FreeBSD so as to be bootable and access the internet with an Ethernet card that doesn't work in FreeBSD? Could Ethernet support be obtained through UEFI? Or could FreeBSD be installed on another computer or on a NAS NFS share? NAS would probably not have TFT

--- Comment #1 from Mark Linimon --- Is this problem also in FreeBSD 10? This problem was in FreeBSD 10 but was fixed somewhere around the time of 10.2. As for possible relapse, I can't say, because I no longer have 10.x-STABLE on hard drive: updated to 11.0-STABLE. Tom __
