T.I.L. about "ipv4_addrs_<if>" in /etc/rc.conf, a much better way to add a lot of IP addresses. e.g. ipv4_addrs_nfe0="10.0.0.1-10/24 Jails (public and private IPs) and SSL vhosts.

I seem to have an issue with adding more than 241 IPv4 addresses on a single interface, anything over that and the network just won't come up. Is there a hard-coded limit or a sysctl that controls the maximum amount of IP addresses? FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64, nfe driver.

You should be able to use max-src-conn, what rule did you come up with? Something like this might work... pass in on $ext_if proto icmp all keep state (max-src-conn 100, max-src-conn-rate 5/5, overload <some_table> flush) some_table being a table of hosts that you block/drop connections from...

There's a few threads here around here about it, this might be of help. I'm still in the process of setting it up on my dev box, so I can't be too much help yet. I know you need the vimage option in your kernel config and the tools installed.

What version of FreeBSD are you running? 8.0 introduced vimage (network stack virtualization, not sure if it is in the 7 branch at all), so you could have you pf rules for each jail, in the jail, loaded from the jail. You could have your cron script check the rule sets before actually loading...

That would depend on the amount of time required to compile. If there was a good solution to resource limiting (CPU/RAM specifically) in jails, I'd definitely give it thought. I averaged about 12-13 Mbps, however it did cut out a few times. Well, not everyone is going to download all the...

That looks fine, I would have added in a lock file and a test expression for that, the downside there is if the script terminates abnormally and doesn't delete the lock in the end, your cron wouldn't run (afterthought, guess you could append a timestamp on the end of the lockfile name or...

The default user interface is the console, however you can opt for installing Gnome or KDE during the install. Gnome: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html KDE: http://freebsd.kde.org/ http://freebsd.kde.org/instructions.php

Well like they say, any publicity is good publicity. Could it have been better? Sure. Was it so awful that it should never have seen the light of day? Nah. You could write a 20 page essay on what you've learned about a new OS, and your experiences with it, but not a lot of people are going to...

Nice, concise review. I was just going to mention that.

There is no multithreading in rsync that I am aware of. I remember researching it awhile back while creating a backup solution for my servers. Something about it would require major changes to the protocol. If the file has been changed from one run of the cron job to the next, whether it be...

Personally I would say that it is very stable now. Ever since ZFS v13 made it into 7-STABLE, I have had no issues that weren't directly caused by myself (even then it was relatively minor). I also have my dev machine running 8.0-RELEASE-p1 on ZFS root/boot, with a freshly created three drive...

Here's my mirror: Dallas, TX, US: http://216.245.220.114/OOo/ Just finished installing FreeBSD 8.0 on the server, so the location may or may not be permanent. I may move it after I get everything setup again.

Means the member is on your friends list, iirc.

That particular option is to use 64 bit integers on i386, not compile a 64 bit binary of perl.

I'm not sure how zpool displays sizes on (Open)Solaris, but on all my FreeBSD machines it shows the entire capacity of the pool, including parity. This is from a FreeBSD system with 12x500 GB drives (3 vdevs of 4 drives in RAIDZ). amnesiac# zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP...

Edit the shebang?

You have to manually fetch the sources and recompile on STABLE, but it does hold advantages. You can customize your make flags in /etc/make.conf specific for your machine, which can yield performance increases; See make.conf. Likewise, you can use /etc/src.conf to exclude parts of the OS that...

Yes, you can install both. I have Python 2.5 and 2.6 installed from ports. The default 'python' in /usr/local/bin is 2.6, and I have a 'python2.5' and 'python2.6' binary. # ls -a | grep python python python-config python-shared python-shared-config python-shared2.5 python-shared2.5-config...
