Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer. </p><p>As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.</p><p>No further explanation given </p><p>Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.</p><p>Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?</p><p>🖋️ <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/boxyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boxyBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/zsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zsh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/csh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>csh</span></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/netBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>netBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AskFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFediverse</span></a></p>

I'm not seeing the code in the latest version of unixODBC even though the driver is listed at their site. However, much older versions of unixODBC had a txt subdirectory under Drivers with the code. Wonder if anyone's using this driver and how hard it would be to get it built and working. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AskFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFediverse</span></a></p>
