Hi, could anyone give recommendations (or share experience) regarding using ZFS: - FreeBSD 7-Stable (amd64 with 8GB RAM) + special tuning necessary (apart from increasing kernel memory to 1 or more GB for ZFS) - Samba 3.2 + ACLs possible directly under ZFS? + recommended compile options? - NFS - email (imap) - jails (I have seen some problems exist with using snaphots within

I successfully did my first FreeBSD upgrade yesterday after looking at the manual, and cross referencing with Googling and getting help from our network engineer here at CWU. Before the upgrade, running df showed: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 507630 77662 389358 17% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/da0s1e

These are new boxes. http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015B-MT.cfm core 2 Q6600 CPU 8Gb 667 RAM Boxes were memtested from Fri-Mon okay. 6.3-RELEASE (amd64) installs fine. Build cycle okay. Running (no load) for a week or so. However, when I try to configure gmirror they hang on boot. After some fiddling it appears issuing #kldload geom_mirror hangs the boxes very hard.

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

Howyd all? Seems that I have been routed. Possibly by a physical B&E, but who knows? Probably some of you do.... anyways, some politically sensitive email was deleted from a user account and the line low -tr & inserted into my .xinitrc . Duncan (Dhu) Campbell

Hello again :) With POLLING enabled I experience about 10%-25% performance drop when copying files over network. Tested with both SAMBA and NFS. Is it normal?

...(Oct 31 2006) according to <http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html> If 5.4 is expected to be an extended-life branch, I would consider moving them up to 5.4 instead, to get a leap on current technology.

Howdy list, Sorry if this is a frequently discussed topic, or an off-topic question, but I couldn't find much info about my question by performing quick searches in the archives, and my question is pretty tightly related to security... Background: =========== I have a number of FreeBSD machines. Most are 4.x, but a few are 5.x (mainly the testing/devel machines). I also have a single Red
