New comment by vermaden in "FreeCORE TrueNAS Core – Continued"

vermaden — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 10:48:56 +0000

Seems that zVault 'did not make it' - https://zvault.io/ - even the page is gone now.

Lets hope FreeCORE will make it longer.

Some comparison between Linux based TrueNAS SCALE and FreeBSD based TrueNAS CORE here:

New comment by vermaden in "Move FreeBSD System Between ZFS Disks"

vermaden — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:39:01 +0000

Its both actually.

This is strictly the FreeBSD part:

    freebsd # gpart backup ada1 | gpart restore nda0
    
    freebsd # gpart backup ada1 | gpart restore nda1

The ZFS part comes later :)

New comment by vermaden in "How to Increase OpenBSDs Resilience to Power Outages"

The same article for FreeBSD:

- Install FreeBSD in defaults with Auto (ZFS) option.

- Do not thing more.

- You are resilient for power outages.

Cold migration.

Stop machine, transfer VM to other host, start machine.

New comment by vermaden in "NextBSD project revived: macOS userland tools on FreeBSD kernel"

> macOS userland tools on FreeBSD kernel

I do not have anything against NextBSD - but that 'macOS userland tools on FreeBSD kernel' term sounds as stupid as it can - knowing that Apple pulled FreeBSD userland as part of creating Mac OS X :D

Which generally means: 'FreeBSD userland tools on FreeBSD kernel' ...
