How to fix a mono CS0589 Internal compiler error during parsingSystem.FormatException error on the RaspberryPi

Posted on by Daniel Kirstenpfad

When you want to compile some C# code using MONO on Linux on your RaspberryPi and you encounter this strange error message:

error CS0589: Internal compiler error during parsingSystem.FormatException

You need to do:

  1. Update your Debian by running:

    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get update

  2. Upgrade your RaspberryPi firmware:

    sudo rpi-update

  3. Reboot your RaspberryPi
  4. Retry compiling – should work now.

The reason for Mono to crap out like above: Previous Mono versions and RaspberryPi firmwares where not compatible due to one side using HardFP and the other not.

ZFS Tutorial

“ZFS is really the final word in filesystems. With a feature set longer than this tutorial, it can take a while to master. You can set many more options per dataset, enable disk usage quotes and much more. Once you’ve used it and seen the benefits, you’ll probably never want to use anything else. Hopefully this has been helpful to get you on your way to becoming a FreeBSD ZFS master.”
