JdeBPThe PC-BSD challenge was, as you can see from the roadmap, not only doing the FreeBSD part but doing the various add-ons that PC-BSD/TrueOS had, as well.

#GhostBSD seems to be the spritual successor to that. So as long as it has ZFS on root, and no bloody GRUB, I'm going to attempt it.
In an ironic twist, in 1.41 several of the PC-BSD services are now disabled, for security reasons.
JdeBPReading this doco on #Debian with ZFS for the root and even part of the boot filesystem …
… I am struck by two things:
1. PC-BSD 10 back in 2016 was doing doing all of these manual steps automatically in the installer. All of those separate filesystems and special options for /usr and the like were just installer defaults in PC-BSD. It even had GRUB configured so that it did the right things, *and* worked with beadm.
2. The IXsystems people, who did PC-BSD and later TrueOS, switched to Linux years ago. Why hasn't their demonstrable expertise in making installers and GRUB do all this with ZFS been harnessed?
Stefano MarinelliFun Fact: At the end of 2008 / beginning of 2009, I bought a mini laptop — an Acer Aspire One, on sale because no one wanted them. Windows didn’t run on it for even a minute, but every other OS did. Including a version of "Hackintosh", which actually led me to get a MacBook Pro a few months later (which my parents are still using). It ran quite well.
But the OS that worked best and longest on that little guy was PC-BSD. I truly did everything with it. When I was flying around Europe during the most hectic years of my life, it was my trusty companion - always ready, always in my backpack. I have a special memory tied to it that will always make it dear to me, but it’s a private one 😃
Oh, I almost forgot the Fun Fact: its hostname was always "acerone" - from Acer (Aspire) One, of course. But in Italian, "acerone" sounds like "big Acer", and considering its micro size (9 inches), it was truly ironic.

BSD est une autre famille de systèmes d'exploitation sous licence(s) libre(s) :
#OpenBSD
#FreeBSD
#NetBSD
#DragonflyBSD
#PCBSD
etc.
Laquelle a le pouvoir de servir ? 😈
Graham Perrin@scottjenson I read the page, then boosted, without knowing who you are. Then checked your profile. Oh, my.
I was a huge fan of Macs, the HIG in particular, for more than twenty years.
Thank you. Thank you.
Apple's lie about Yosemite – no, the title bar of Safari (my favourite software) did NOT present the title – was the thin end of what I perceived to be unacceptable degradation of the Guidelines. Driven, I suspect, by management, not by the human end users.
When the audiences at and after WWDC simply smiled, applauded, and lacked the bravery to call out the spoken lie – a URL falsely described as a title, whilst the new Safari was on-screen – I knew that the slide downhill would be irreversible.
Fandom ended. Mavericks was the end of the line, for me. I switched to PC-BSD.

vermaden#TrueNAS is dead [1].
Long live #XigmaNAS [2].
After @iXsystems disappointments with #PCBSD or #TrueOS they now plan to do the same with #FreeNAS successor #TrueNAS. Being #FreeBSD based was ONLY reason I recommended it.

Other service managers also supply service definitions that run these services. Mark Heily's relaunchd does, for example:
There are no doubt others, that I am not aware of.
I recommend that you disable these services whatever service management system you use.

PC-BSD/TrueOS runs these things out of the box, itself, of course.
These services are enabled/disabled with settings in /etc/rc.conf.pcbsd which you will need to adjust if you are using that, or override in /etc/rc.conf.local:
syscache_enable="NO"
appcafe_enable="NO"
I have ensured that the external configuration import system in the nosh toolkit also ignores these settings, in the forthcoming service fix. Set them to "NO" anyway.
