I have no need to… I have a NAS if I need to share files… or scp… or rsync… I haven’t tried ResilioSync on GhostBSD yet - annoyingly - the vendor of ResilioSync have stopped releasing binaries for BSD - fortunately the 2.x BSD client binary still works / syncs to/from other clients running version 3.x… i.e. I run it manually in my FreeBSD shell in my NAS…
I’ve seen other sync utils, that won’t sync if a minor revision on one machine is slightly different - that was a util called “unison”… Stopped using it 'cause of that…
I NEVER dual boot… it shouldn’t ever be an issue for me… No need to read ext4… Ran into snags in the past trying to read ext2/3/4 USB drives (e.g. on MacOS) - gave up - use Fat32 or ExFat…
Note also - I accept the default of using ZFS on both GhostBSD installs…
Hmmm - just mounted my NAS share onto GhostBSD VM - so it’s mounted - but - what’s the BSD equivalent of /etc/mtab? On Solaris it was /etc/mnttab…
Hmmm - it doesn’t have anything like that?
I’m lazy - if I manually mount something on Linux - I verify it’s the last line of /etc/mtab, make a backup of /etc/fstab, then append the last line of /etc/mtab to /etc/fstab
e.g.
cp /etc/fsttab /etc/fstab.$(date '+%Y%m%d')
tail -1 /etc/mtab
tail -1 /etc/mtab >> /etc/fstab
Note : above is VERY dangerous - if I were to accidentally use a single “>” - I’d have hosed my /etc/fstab - hence the previous step to make a backup just in case…
I guess on FreeBSD I need to edit fstab - but it looks weird - i.e. even weirder than /etc/vfstab on Solaris :
x@x-ghostbsd ~> sudo cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass
/dev/label/swap0 none swap sw 0 0
procfs /proc procfs rw 0 0
linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777 0 0
linsysfs /compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw 0 0
fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0
Added this line - and it worked :
baphomet.local:/mnt/BARGEARSE /mnt/BARGEARSE nfs rw 0 0
(note: I have an entry in /etc/hosts for baphomet.local)
I can unmount and mount and it will try to mount it on boot…
