I like your approach but at the same time I don't fully understand it. How many pools do you create out of how many vdevs (and of which configuration each, mirror / RAIDZ2)?

And how would you replicate only a part of the data from POOLA to POOLB? How about having to split collections across pools? That's not very practical for when it has to be retrieved in a directory-like structure.

Not much difference IMHO (~ 30 MB/s faster write in RAID-Z2). Therefore 2 x (RAID-Z2 dev made each of four HDDs) may provide very good performances (about twice as one single RAID-Z3 pool). I only plan on backing up very important data either using rsync or zfs send (still haven't tried it) to...

I already saw that webpage but unfortunately RAID-Z2 using eight HDDs wasn't tested. For the eight HDDs in a single vdev? Thank you very much for your help.

I'm planning on upgrading my home NAS. I was wondering which would the best configuration for my DATA zpool. I'm not looking at ultrahigh performance. I'd be satisfied with let's say 300 MB/s read and writes. I'm not looking for >500 MB/s performances, although I wouldn't want less than 200 MB/s...

I've been running FreeBSD 9.1 for some months now and it works as expected for the most part. My setup: boot in 2 x mirror (encrypted using GELI, containing the main system) and, when required, unlock a 6 x RAID-Z2 (always encrypted using GELI) which contains the "real" data. Problem is: I'm...

Small update. I got Samba 4 working but somehow wasn't really satisfied. Active Directory may be nice, but I should set it up on a 24/7 server rather than an ad-hoc powered one. I couldn't really understand how to get the standalone configuration to work. Therefore I went back to Samba 3.6...

I managed to install FreeBSD on my NAS (finally ...). I installed the main system in ZFS (ZFS on root plus encryption) where the zpool should've been created using GPT references: zpool create zroot mirror /dev/gpt/disk0_main.eli /dev/gpt/disk1_main.eli Strangely enough even the non-encrypted...

Thank you for your reply, acheron. Could you please post your smb4.conf file so that I might find what other differences exist? Beside smb4.conf, krb5.conf and resolv.conf, are there other file that should've been edited? Any special command you had to run? These Samba error messages don't...

Are you running AD with DC? I think I don't need domain controller (I can't connect my Windows 7 Premium laptop to a domain anyway). For a home network, I just need a way to (with ACL support if possible) authenticate my users for the file shares. Maybe Active Directory with ACL permissions...

Thank you. This fixes a part of the problem. However another one appeared: $ cat /var/log/samba4/log.samba [2013/05/06 18:53:34, 0] ../source4/smbd/server.c:369(binary_smbd_main) samba version 4.0.4 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2012 [2013/05/06 18:53:34, 0]...

I'm not using virt-manager but there may be some additional configuration needed on the CentOS host side. Some tips: Can you ping the host from FreeBSD? Can you check the host using nmap? If not, check IPTables configuration on the CentOS side. Are you sure the TCP/UDP port to connect to...

Not sure if I understood your question correctly. Maybe this will help you set up a limited-directory login for SSH login (basically limited to /home/<username> but this could be changed). See http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 for instance (based on Debian GNU/Linux, still...

I installed FreeBSD 9.1 with ZFS on root on my NAS and I updated all packages and ports via the portupgrade utility. I just installed Samba4 via ports (Samba 4.0.4_1) but I'm getting a weird error when trying to set it up. ACLs should have been enabled on / since $ zfs get aclmode zroot NAME...

I spoke all day long with a Cyberpower representative (the same that provided information about FreeBSD compatibility). He suggested that the Freestanding unit was a better price / performance ratio. Since I have some free place left on the floor and the advanced features of the rackmount...

Thank you all for your replies. I also found the "PR1500ELCD" (the freestanding equivalent of the "PR1500ELCDRT2U" as I understood it) for 100$ less (550$ instead of 650$). It seems to offer something less than the rackmount unit (mainly phone/DSL protection which is already provided by a...

Good to know, thank you. So you think if I install all Linux required libraries by the application, the Powerpanel should work correctly?

Yeah I knew that. I was just asking for other (more memory hungry) applications. Thanks. Thank you to have tested this. But installing all Linux libraries (on top of the FreeBSD ones) won't make a mess out of my system? I mean ... are Linux compatibility mode libraries installed in a reserved...

I don't think so since the unit was labeled "Reverse engineered" in the NUT compatibility list. At least they provide a software version for GNU/Linux which they claim to be compatible with FreeBSD. Switzerland. Are there plans for 64-bit compatibility mode in FreeBSD? The Powerpanel...

True. It's only a "grade" on which NUT categorized the compatible hardware on their site. Rather than "Excellent/Good/Average/Mediocre compatibility" they decided to categorize them as "Excellent/Good/Average/No collaboration given by hardware manufacturer" I can agree that the grade NUT gives...
