Upgraded to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE
My small FreeBSD based droplet which I run in DigitalOcean is certainly unrepresentative but nevertheless I was very pleased with the smoothness of my recent upgrade to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. Just a single reboot and here I am running the latest version of FreeBSD: [freebsd@flagword ~]$ freebsd-version 13.0-RELEASE

Another FreeBSD drop into the Digital Ocean
After several happy years with FreeBSD running in AWS I finally have switched to Digital Ocean. That happened a few days ago and was driven mainly by the lack of the console support which “aws ec2 get-console-output”, in my opinion, is certainly not.

AWS FreeBSD instance won’t come up. Screams for manual fsck.
This is a short write up if after a reset or a reboot your FreeBSD (or Linux) instance doesn’t come online, stalls and “aws ec2 get-console-output” returns something like that among its lines: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. Just power-off the faulty instance either from Web interface or using cli: aws ec2 stop-instances –instance your_instance_id […]
Videos from EuroBSDCon 2014
In the last episode of BSDNow podcast a link to the videos from EuroBSDCon 2014 has been published – https://va.ludost.net/files/eurobsdcon/2014/Vitosha/ The one I enjoyed most was a presentation made by Kirk McKusik about the implementation of ZFS. Worth watching indeed.
