Problem occurs while downloading a game.

The downloads seems to stall. After it happens it shows the same progess in the following lines and then it breaks.

Having the same problem "FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3 (FREENAS.amd64)" "linux_base-f10"

It's probably some missing syscall in FreeBSDs Linix compatibility layer: https://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel

After looking at dmesg I saw that.
It appears that epoll was removed http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=255675
It looks like it is getting put back in to FreeBSD 10 http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/linux-epoll-syscall-on-10-0-RC4-td5873782.html

This does not help me yet, the system I'm using is 9.2 and I do not have one for 10

I use FreeBSD 10.0 at the moment and I can assure you that srcds still has the same problem. Either epoll is not in yet or it is some other syscall missing.

Quick update on this: I could successfully install and run a csgo dedicated server on FreeBSD 11.1.

It still can't find the ssl certs (I guess it looks in a fixed place, the paths on FreeBSD differ slightly) and there is a constant spam of "Assertion Failed: Unable to set default socket options, error 22". Due to this the connections (to steam when starting the server, not the client connections) take a while to establish but it works!

Nothing extracted yet.
