For one user you don't need CUPS print spooler and scheduler. Just edit /etc/printcap for example mine

Linux is probably doing async writes and XFS can't do COW and checksum anyway. No question that it is faster. The real question is how much do you care for safety of your data. If the answer is I care but I could live with very low probability of data loss go with Linux. if you truly care about...
The write up is motivated by an article in the most recent BSD Magazine in which guy is trying to sell HAMMER1 as better LVM. I just told to myself: "That makes no sense as he is comparing completely different things a logical volume manager and a file system". I had to draw a diagram just to...
Has nothing to do with AWS, NFS, file system you are using, or FreeBSD for that mater. It has everything to do with the fact that you have hundreds of thousands of small files. I am surprised that you didn't run our of inodes. My friend you have so much metadata that you are bringing the system...
I could care less about his choice if he was not a member of a core team which is suppose to manage FreeBSD project. If you are member of the core I would expect that you have best interests of FreeBSD in mind (not Open or OS X) or God forbid random economic interests of certain groups/companies...
Here is the infamous member of core Mr. Sato showing of his true alliance (scroll to the last three posts)

For younger folks this is the same gentleman who was porting TeX Live over 12 years to FreeBSD driving scores of desktop users and developers...
A lighthearted security compassion

I can't locate another post where the guy explained how the Chrome is designed ground up with security (if not privacy) consideration (finally Nell Provost works for Google) while FF is just a pile of...
Former OpenBSD (at least when it come to storage) guy. Well me to (OpenBSD user for over 12 years) except that I use at home HAMMER and at work ZFS to store data:) Don't tell me that you are putting ZFS on the top of hardware RAID :) We teach kids in this country not to do that :) I used to...
That is a super useful info. I work in academic setting not in the data center so my budget might not allow me to go with more expensive drives than what I currently use.
Again very useful info. Our university (Carnegie Mellon) has a contract with Dell but I typically buy Supermicro from a...
This is the first time I hear anybody referring to WD Reds or Seagate IronWolfs as consumer-grade hard disks (I prefer WD Reds for the record). My estimate is really on the low side but last time I checked Amazon 2TB Reds were going for about $80 and IronWolfs $10 cheaper. So yes I was a bit...
I would think it is OK. Use gpart to crate slices of identical sizes on each drive and crate zfs out of those slices. Alternatively you could also theoretically create just a single dangerously dedicated slice on each drive and then use disklabel to create bsd partitons of same sizes to be...
Some people consider Bhyve production stable some people like me don't. If you want to use ZFS as a storage you can use Alpine Linux Xen Dom0. ZFS these days works pretty good on Linux although as a third party kernel module. Xen Hypervisor is about as mature technology as it comes. I don't have...
Hardware problems. I had a similar problem with one of Supermicro Atom servers (less than 2 years old) last week which I use to host bunch of Jails. After trying every bloody gimmick and spending hours with my vendor technical support they just decided to send me a new server. We figured out...
