The main purpose of DOS FDISK is to create partitions, ms-sys cannot do that. There are other free tools for that like Linux fdisk, cfdisk parted or gparted. However, ms-sys is capable of doing the equivalent of DOS "FDISK /mbr", that is writing master boot records. The master boot record consists of the first 512 bytes of a device and only part of those 512 bytes are the code to boot, in the MBR you also have the DOS partition table. Ms-sys does not alter or create the partition table. The fact...

No, I do not have any contact with the people who has contributed code. Most contributors have only added some single feature that they needed for themselves. It is not like we would be some group that continues to work together.

Sorry, ms-sys is not enough to create a bootable USB stick. To become bootable, you will need to install some kind of operating system on that USB stick. Whatever operating system that you choose will most likely provide you with all tools needed to make it bootable. Ms-sys is only a tool to identify and fix boot records. Once booted, boot records will need something to chain to. The master boot record might need to pass on to a partition boot record (so far ms-sys will be able to provide both for...

What options you need to use completely depends upon what you are going to boot and what you are going to use to boot it. First of all, ms-sys in itself is not capable of creating a "bootable disk", you will need some kind of operating system to boot. Next, ms-sys is only capable of writing the kind of boot records usable by legacy BIOS computers, if your system has UEFI boot only, ms-sys will not be to any use for you. The initial and still main intention of ms-sys is to be a Linux tool to make...

Sorry, I have no experience from FreeBSD myself. Others have contributed all the code for OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

Thanks for not giving up and finally being able to verify that it works as expected! Even though it has not yet been tested with an older version of nvidia-smi the changes to the code are so trivial that I expect to release version 1.3 later today. Thanks again!

Interesting! And the snmp daemon has been restarted since nvgpu-snmp.so was installed as you rebooted. However, you wrote something about uininstalling and reinstalling net-snmp, could it be that the running snmpd is using modules from some other directory than /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/snmp/dlmod ? In what way did the compilation of nvgpu-snmp interfer with your snmp installation? During compilation, netsnmp-config is used to figure out where to install nvgpu-snmp.so, maybe that directory changes if...
