What version of FreeBSD does include the snd_hdspe driver? Do I have to download and burn a version > 9.0? Since the issue to get the needed slice/partition with the needed file system is solved by installing PC-BSD 8.2 instead of FreeBSD 9.0, I could backup the current install and then delete all files (but keep the slice and fs) and try to install FreeBSD again. If it shouldn't work, I still could restore PC-BSD from the backup. Since I want to test audio and MIDI, I wonder if 64 bit is the right choice. Is there something I should know about advantages and drawbacks of 32 bit and 64 bit architecture for audio? When I backuped BSD yesterday, I noticed that PC-BSD 8.2 couldn't mount all my Linux partitions. I'm not sure, but I suspect I could mount ext3, but not ext4, at least the backup is on an ext3 partition. Is there something, perhaps a kernel version, I should prefer to use FreeBSD on my Linux machine? For audio on FreeBSD is there something to know about real-time, before I install another BSD? First I'll subscribe and ask on http://lists.pcbsd.org/mailman/listinfo/support, if I can fix issues for the current install, but perhaps it's wiser to make a new install. Again the question regarding to a backup I made yesterday. My fstab: /dev/label/rootfs0 / ufs rw,noatime 1 1 /dev/label/swap0 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/label/var0 /var ufs rw,noatime 1 1 /dev/label/usr0 /usr ufs rw,noatime 1 1 procfs /proc procfs rw 0 0 linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 That's how I backuped: # dump -0Launf - /dev/label/rootfs0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/rootfs0-2012-12-14.dump # dump -0Launf - /dev/label/var0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/var0-2012-12-14.dump # dump -0Launf - /dev/label/usr0 | bzip2 > /media/unused8/usr0-2012-12-14.dump IIUC I can backup BSD, while running the BSD I backup and the commands above did backup everything. I could delete all files and restore it from this backup. Is this correct? Regards, Ralf
