Thanks a lot. However it would be quite nice to see the titles of the talks instead of the presenters name and some cut off title word.

First, I didn't want to imply the Atom is much better than the E-350, just that it makes a very nice non-ZFS NAS. If you want to run a ZFS file server, more than 4GB of ECC RAM (on a 64-bit system) is recommended. That leaves as low end options:the lower end AMD CPUs that support ECC RAM, I...

E3 is a very nice platform, but is IMHO best used in a system which takes advantage of lots of ECC-RAM and other server-grade features. I build a ~2000$ file server with it a few month ago and I'm happy about the choice. What you seem to want is a low to mid-size NAS, for that an Intel Atom...

I tend to go for the atmosphere first and meeting people second - not much of a people-person myself. Too many talks in sequence tire and overload me. But I often watch videos of recommended or interesting sounding talks afterwards. About the "atmosphere" thing: on many events there are a lot...

I recently build a very similar system and did some research and asked around. As for the board, supermicro has a very good reputation and the X9SCM-iiF specifically has the advantage of having 2 Intel server grade chips (82754L) on it, which are well supported under FreeBSD. As for the...

How about pkgng, are there any usable packages already? I did not find anything by nosing around on pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org I get e.g. pkg install subversion pkg: Package 'subversion' was not found in the repositories

oops Oops, I forgot: this is 9.1R and I properly enabled zfs (I tested that).

Hi all I'd like to set up a server with 8 3TB disks as a zfs storage pool. Currently I am testing the setup in VMware, as the hardware is not finished yet. I'd like to use GPT labeled partitions for the zpool. First I initialized the storage disks with GPT (da0 contains the OS partitions)...

I don't know about Mac Pro's or multiple disks, but 2 years ago I set up my MacBook Pro to triple boot via "rEFIt", an EFI based boot loader that supports all the Mac specialties including some very nice graphical boot images. Since on a Mac, you want to boot with some style of course ;-) My...

64bit usually refers to the size of the registers in the CPU and thus the common low level data types such as 64bit integer numbers. It also refers to the width of the data bus, although there are exceptions. There is little or no connection to the size of executable code since that is mostly...

I first tried FreeBSD because of zfs and several recommendations that it is an fairly easy to administer zfs-server. I then discovered that it is also more unified and easier to understand than e.g. Linux or Solaris. Well, for an old fart like me anyway... Thus I'm currently building a server...
