I couldn't agree more. My point was that there is nothing magical about Cisco OS. It is the sillicone that makes all the difference. I would dare to say that for sustained speeds of 1Gigabit/s OpenBSD is Ok FreeBSD perhaps upto 10Gigabit/s. Anything beyond that you are looking at Cisco or...

I have being sarcastic but in all seriousness anybody who is using hardware or software RAID on Linux doesn't truly care about file integrity. You would be surprised how many people fall into that group. I like really like Hardware RAID as a volume manager but the real question is what you...

This looks like a troll post to me. RAID 5 (neither hardware nor software RAIDZ1 included) should not be used in production period. On the top of it RAID is typically in industry used for high availability. Note that RAID is not a backup. High availability is not typically needed for home...

Do you have more than 100 snapshots?

In three words no and yes. For the explanation read this wonderful post of Jim Thompson of pFsense fame. https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/6upchy/can_a_bsd_system_replicate_the_performance_of/ what Jim fails to mention is that JunoOS Juniper networks OS is essentially highly...

Is the ZFS pool more than 80% filled with data? If it is resilvering can take more than a month. I know it is ridiculous but this is one of those things which make you want use hardware RAID and HAMMER.

That is expected. Don't you have the documentation with HDD UUIDs which belong to the specific ZFS pool? Each HDD is carefully recorded in my spreadsheets before it goes to server (drive Bay, zpool Name, Type, Disk size, Manufacturer, Model Number, Serial Number as well as current device label...

You should use host pkg management system to install appropriate Python version 2.7.14 or 3.6.2. (they should be able to coexist) py27-virtualenv or py36-virtualenv and py27-pip or py36-pip. The rest of the stack could be added by pip and you can adjust installation path so that no root...

Let me make sure that I understand your question correctly. You want us to explain you how to build a FreeBSD virtualization cluster by running Xen Dom0 on FreeBSD (Xen Dom0 is not ported to FreeBSD) and utilizing Oracle's proprietary OCFS2 (which runs only on Linux) on FreeBSD? Unfortunately I...

What "GUI"? R doesn't come with "GUI". If you are thinking something like "open source" RStudio IDE https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download I am not aware that that thing compiles on FreeBSD. You can always try to create your own port from the source...

You are looking for an answer to a very specific question which applies for the narrow user case scenario (or maybe not so narrow considering how many FreeBSD developers use OS X as their desktop:D). I can assure you that many of serious users frequently this forum use FreeBSD as a file server...

getopt For people who know how to edit jail.conf and are managing few jails no tool is needed. In particular if you are not going to take advantage of ZFS for Jail https://clinta.github.io/freebsd-jails-the-hard-way/ masteroman Michael was contemplating to write a book about FreeBSD jails...

Well, there is a FreeBSD journal just like OpenBSD journal but guess what? It is not free and most importantly IIRC you need a proprietary OS to download articles from it. I guess it is commensurate with the wide spread use of OS X among FreeBSD developers. BSD magazine is free and very FreeBSD...

Listen as somebody who grow up in Eastern Europe like you I understand your confusion but here in U.S. the corporations exist for one purpose only to make money. If SPARC, Solaris or anything was making money Sun would be still alive. Anyone remembers SGI and Irix? In early to mid 90s Irix was...

John when do you expect DragonFly BSD to switch completely to Ravenports? I have seen few e-mails of yours on DF mailing list but nothing that will indicate that ravenports will replace D-Ports in 5.0 release which seems to be immanent (first one to feature HAMMER2 along sides of HAMMER1). How...

ZFS is 128-bit file system and it should not be used on 32-bit machine/OS. Your personal experience is irrelevant. This is a public forum and we all should refrain from posting bad advises.

Dude you really need to work on your grammar.

I could maintain few ports or write a chapter of the Handbook and get the freebsd.org e-mail but that doesn't make me a developer. Developers in the definition above are people who are actually hacking on the kernel. I have no problem with number 409 of people involved in FreeBSD project just...

FreeBSD doesn't have 100 developers. OpenBSD has 30 or so kernel hackers, FreeBSD fewer than that number. Matt Dillon committed over 85% of all DragonFly kernel code https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=150209625814539&w=2

I was testing FreeBSD last year on AWS. I don't recall any problems. In my understanding Colin Percival is the sole developer of FreeBSD AWM image due to the needs of his own company (Tarsnap). He paid for all the development out of his pocket. Many XEN drivers are still being ported from...
