Having trouble starting named from dns/bind99 automatically? Here’s how I solved it!
I tried to convince named from dns/bind99, as of r333563, to start automatically at (re)boot on stable/10 and head. My /etc/rc.conf file contains lines like these: named_enable=”YES” named_program=”/usr/local/sbin/named” named_wait=”YES” named_wait_host=”localhost” named_auto_forward=”YES” named_auto_forward_only=”YES” Eventually, I resolved the matter using the following patch: The tabs are missing, so you better apply this patch by hand. It’s not […]

If you receive such an error message from Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014, you might need to reinstall the VBA 7 modules. See http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item/print?siteID=123112&id=21910314&linkID=9242018 for more details. The short story is to shut down Inventor and reinstall the VBA 7 modules using either 3rdParty\x64\VBA\Vba7.MSI or 3rdParty\x86\VBA\Vba7.MSI from the installation media or from C:\Autodesk.

I came across this post comparing ZFS to Btrfs. The post is undated and that makes it a bit hard to verify the claims against Btrfs. Although I’m partial towards ZFS, I hope Btrfs catches up. Meanwhile, maybe I should check out Btrfs for myself. Update 2013-12-05: Someone named “sasfater” wrote me an email today […]

I updated my FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT virtual machine today. It reached r255120 and it’s running with vtnet as its virtual network interface under VirtualBox 4.2.16. I noticed the vtnet0 interface gained 10 Gbit/s virtual wire speed. Previously the interface ran with only 1 Gbit/s virtual wire speed. The actual wire speed depends largely on the physical limitations of […]
