cant seem to get my freebsd secondary nic to assign a link local address

^ a portion of my rc.conf
mnathani: because you're overriding ipv6_network_interface as set on line 3 with the value on line 4. The end value is simply vtnet0
mnathani: make sure the interface is "up" (might sound obvious, but it's bit me before)
I think it's a space-separated list, ipv6_network_interface="vtnet1 vtnet0"
and that ;)
(I could be off, FreeBSD's rc.conf settings change drastically from one release to the next, infuriating.)
     ipv6_network_interfaces
is freebsd 11 out yet?
                 (str) This is the IPv6 equivalent of network_interfaces.
                 Normally manual configuration of this variable is not needed.
(From https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rc.conf&sektion=)
hmm seems freebsd 11 is running late
probably a good thing
I don't seem to have any modern hardware
while looking for an SD card I found a 5 1/4 inch floppy
haha
then I found an SD card, but it's only 128 MB
i only hav microsd cards
which admittedly is much larger than the 500 "Kb" on the floppy
I wonder if that's bits or bytes
i really am not sure if it's be bits or bytes
pc floppies went 360k/1.2mb
so i assume it's not pc
i'd guess kbit
either that or it's unformated capacity
the oldest storage format I recall using is 3.5-inch floppy disks

ok, i think it's unformated capacity :)
amiga had 880k on 3.5" and pc had 720k

seems you found the same thing i did brycec :)
it's definitely PC
the formating for higher capacity on pc was terrible
gave errors too easy and you couldn't get enough gains
it contains, if it still does, the billing software for a small pest control company
1.44MB variant, which according to wikipedia started shipping in 1986
what i wish was more common back then is raid5 type systems for floppies
as you'd end up with one floppy that didn't work rihgt
sometimes trying again like 30x could work though
Insert floppy 25/26. Error: Disk error. Insert floppy 25/26.
which was only worth trying if it was going to take a long time to get another floppy
oh the itnernet makes things so much easier
mkb: lol been there, too many times
;)
heh i had a disk failure with installing os/2 from floppies
and it actually just had one bad dll or something
and i downloaded the dll on the internet through irc ;)
dcc
os/2 was a bitch to get on the internet
yeh dcc
I remember years ago wishing I knew enough to get dcc to work
(I was behind NAT and had no idea what NAT was)
dcc was easy on dialup
now I could do it but have no need
yeah i don't use dcc anymore
I do keep identd running just for old times sake
That's what she said!!
people used to share mp3s etc that way
before napster
Limewire was how I first got music
you used to be able to do web search for "last modified" and mp3 etc
I loved OS/2
damn you still can
well, Warp... 4.0 was kinda shitty
i liked os/2 2.1 best
it went down hill from there
hah
but os/2 warp 3 connect made it easy to get on internet
seriously os/2 2.1 was best

and there were heaps of fixpacks even
interface should be up, shows in ifconfig
i used tshell though
which was text mode replacement task switched
http://www.edm2.com/index.php/The_Shell_Game_-_Alternative_Shells_for_OS/2#TShell:_A_Text_Shell_For_OS.2F2
was so fast
up_the_irons: guess you were right, as soon as I issued: "ifconfig vtnet1 up" the link local appeared
:)
mnathani: can you ping the backup box?
havent tried as yet
16 bytes from fe80::21b:21ff:fe93:3e09%vtnet1, icmp_seq=3 hlim=64 time=0.409 ms
ping works
mnathani: are you liking zfs?
up_the_irons, do frankfurt vpses exist yet?
right now its just another filesystem to me. Havent played with any features yet
ahh
mkb: there is an option to chose location on the order form, so I assume they do exit
s/exit/exist
<mnathani> mkb: there is an option to chose location on the order form, so I assume they do exist
ah!
if I end up doing it I'll email support@ so I didn't think of looking at the order form
mkb: yes we've been selling VMs in fra
mnathani: nice :)
up_the_irons, ok thanks
sure
BryceBot: no
Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'I do keep identd running just for old times sake'
oh yeah I forgot about teaching BryceBot
