New To Ghost

Post by SamuelMac »

I just installed GhostBSD at first glance it is really good!
I run 3 OS's on my machine W10, Fedora, and now Ghost BSD.
The reality is I was attempting to run FreeBSD but getting X to run was consuming more time than I have to spare, Ghost is BSD, I'm very impressed with Mate it works so smooth.

I thought someone might want to have the list of hardware I installed on.
ASUS X570-Plus TUF Gaming WiFi AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard
Ryzen 7 5700X Vermeer 3.4GHz 8-Core AM4
Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Air Cooler
Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL16 Dual Channel
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Dual V2 Overclocked Dual-Fan 12GB
WD Black SN850X 1TB 112L 3D TLC NAND Flash PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2

Thank you fine Sir. Impressive List of items in your computer. Can you share in straight text format your operational files /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf in a reply for other new users? I assume they would copy from your post and paste into their copy of the file on their Ghostbsd setup.

Can you share your partition setup with the following commands? How did you setup the ability to boot three different operating systems? Did rEFInd provide that ability?

Code: Select all

camcontrol devlist
geom disk list
gpart status
gpart show -lp
From linux, a svg or png picture of gparted display of your disks. How it is
From Windows a display of partitions showing that windows does not see Linux ext4 and freebsd zfs partitions.

How well is your high end system running these 3 O/S on those NVMe sticks and those Crucial 500gb SATA SSDs.? Must be super fast! Do you have suggestions to enabling and using NVMe with GhostBSD or the other systems? Sharing URLs to other web pages is good. See you over at telegram t.me/ghostbsd
