Tried to upgrade my FreeBSD system to 9.0-RC2, pending 9.0-RELEASE, but stumped upon this error.
The update metadata is correctly signed, but failed an integrity check. Cowardly refusing to proceed any further.

Yep, fall hits and it’s easier to find links.
DragonFly morphology. The insect, not the operating system, though that would make an interesting diagram.
Stick your pinkie in the corner of your mouth, Dr. Evil style, and say, “One MEEELion TCP connections on BSD!“. (via several retweets)

removed and replaced by resp [...]

Stumble across this port while doing some research. Go ahead and install it :
cd /usr/ports/games/sl
make install clean
Now, suppose we\'re gonna type \"ls\" for listing directory contains, but fat fingers make us type \"sl\" instead. After installing the port, try typing \"sl\" to list in the commandline and interesting stuff happens !

Adding vdev to raidz pool
There is one fundamental flaw in raidz ZFS pools: you can\'t add devices to raidz (as opposed to usual raid5). So, could we do anything to expand our pool without full rebuilding? Yes, if we are ready to sacrifice one more disk. From zpool man page: A pool can have any number of virtual devices at the top of the (Read more...)
