A couple of days ago, few hours before leaving home for a four days trip I decide to upgrade one of my home servers to FreeBSD 15.1. Nothing difficult.
After upgrade the machine start rebooting in a loop. I pick up my serial cable and see the boot process crash when mounting ZFS
panic: zfs(panic): zfs: rt={spa=zroot vdev_guid=546977716602668702 ms_id=9 ms_freed}: adding segment (offset=2431c0000 size=1000) overlapping with existing one (offset=2431c0000 size=1000)
😬 that's terrible.
I relay on this machine to access my nextcloud where all my trip tickets are stored.
Hopefully ZFS saves my day!
I was able to boot back to the previous snapshot, and smoothly restore the service, but I probably need to start thinking in a replacement for this machine....

I've used pkgbasify for the first time, and then immediately thereafter, I upgraded a FreeBSD 15 box to 15.1 with pkg. This is really dramatically faster than freebsd-update. I think I'm hooked on pkgbase now.

📰 Where Unix Runs Today — Vivian Voss
｢ The PS4's Orbis OS is derived from FreeBSD 9 (2013 vintage). The PS5's Orbis 2.0 is derived from FreeBSD 11.0 (__FreeBSD_version 1100122, for the curious). Sony publishes the modified FreeBSD kernel source on its open-source page, as the BSD licence permits and good citizenship encourages.
Over 200 million PlayStation units have shipped since the PS3 (which already carried BSD lineage in a different form) ｣

hw.usb.no_shutdown_wait=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf made no difference it still hung. I have a switcheable 8 port USB 3 hub that is connected to my ThinkPad via USB C. I have patiently powered up and shutdown turning the Logitech camera off first then my Focusrite 2i2 DAC, Next my trackball until I found my homebuilt TKL keyboard that is powered by a Pi Pico running QMK is causing #FreeBSD to hang after a while after geli is unmounted and it starts detaching USB devices. This has always worked and never caused an issue since FreeBSD 14.1. So something in FreeBSD 15.0-15.1 must have changed as the keyboard still works perfectly ?????
New on BSD Now: Episode 669 – "Poudriere Speed Run"
BSD Now is a weekly podcast covering the latest BSD news, technical topics, tutorials, and interviews from across the BSD community.
In Episode 669, the hosts discuss:
• Native inotify in FreeBSD
• How changes to poudriere.conf affect build time
• Migrating mail servers from Exim to OpenSMTPD
• And more

doas poweroff or doas shutdown -p now or even doas reboot or doas shutdown -r now it will do as expected. But if I leave my laptop for say 10-30 minutes without any screen lockers it will start to reboot or poweroff and unmount geli then start detaching devices like USB and it then hangs indefinitely.It used to work in 15 I'm sure it did as I always poweroff at night. I have submitted a bug but I can for the life of me figure this out as it doesn't make sense ????
What difference would leaving the laptop running for an hour make to a shutdown or reboot command? I'm using efi too and everything seems fine I think??
Any suggestions glady accepted.
Link to bug report
dmesg output and found 3 warnings. Two I have rectified but one I'm not sure about ?WARNING: Device "psm" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 16.0.
UPDATE It seems to be psm(4) PS/2 mice which obviously doesn't exist on my system so nothing to worry about then.

So plugging in USB3 memory sticks worked OK but then I started with my sandisk usb2 devices and one by one they all started to work again!!?? Now I'm confused.
Strange issue writing to my USB memory sticks which used to work but since going over to pkgbase I cannot dd to any of them. I get dd: /dev/da0: Operation not supported yet I'm running as root using doas dd if=bios.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1M and I've done this before on this laptop as it's how I update my ThinkPad's BIOS. HELP!??
dmesg shows the same errors onall of my 20 odd memory sticks.

/dev/da0 in the /dev directory either when there used to be ????The USB ports work as my external keyboard works and USB sound device. I cannot get my USB HD to work either and it did for sure. Seems like the pkgbase conversion has done something as the usb and usbmass modules are loaded as part of the kernel.

Judging from this tutorial, installing ZFSBootMenu is simply downloading premade EFI binary and copy to ESP partition, would it be possible to dual boot a #FreeBSD and Void #Linux that are both Root-On-ZFS? Of source FreeBSD pools won't boot directly through ZFSBootMenu but
efibootmgr will still be able to configure boot priority.doas pkg upgrade I just noticed that qutebrowser was uninstalled and the qt6 version for amd64 still isn't available for #FreeBSD 15 Latest.qxl video driver issue with #FreeBSD #QEMU VM appeared more interesting than I thought: in another boot environment #BE where I installed #Xlibre instead of #Xorg, using #qxl driver and startx in a #TTY brought up a bare X session with a #Xterm. Quitting the xterm instance successfully terminated X session and brought back TTY session, while on #Xorg quitting the session resulted in a full black screen, no tty. Switching ttys from with QEMU's sendkey failed to get any tty bacl either. If a window manager like #CWM was launched by startx, however, both Xlibre and Xorg failed with a #SegmentFault error. 2/nxf86-video-qxl and use a #Xorg conf file like:Section "Device"it should work. But today when I was firing up a FreeBSD 15.1 VM the Xorg session instantly crashed with a segment fault and returned back to tty, changing the
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "qxl"
EndSection
qxl driver to scfb worked flawlessly though. Am I missing something? 1/nThis is what I put in my

sysrc utiity last weekend, and today mixer. They are there in the manual pages, in source code, but no easy way to find out where they end up in FreeBSD-xxx packages. Luckily when I used enough keywords Google Gemini actually was capable to point me to the FreeBSD-sound package.
