Hi, I'm trying to upgrade apache22 on a system I've just moved to PKGNG. Current system: # pkg info | grep apache22 apache22-2.2.27_2 Version 2.2.x of Apache web server with prefork MPM. Attempt to upgrade: # pkg install -f apache22 Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

The idea with the ARC is that if you have programs that need the memory it will be freed from the ARC, where there is unused memory it will logically be used by the ARC to improve system performance. Only if you are sure that this isn't working as you would like/expect should you start hard...

Re: NFSen in jail broken after upgrade Ok, fixed it :) I had in sysctl.conf already: security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1 However it seems I now need to include this config in the ezjail jail config: export jail_example_parameters="allow.sysvipc=1" thanks, Andy.

Hi all, I'm trying to work out what's happened to my NFSen jail as it's now broken. I started on FreeBSD 9.0 with NFSen 1.3.5_3 and NFDump 1.6.6_2. I've just upgraded the OS to 9.2-RELEASE on the host server and for the jail and upgraded NFSen to 1.3.6p1_3 and NFDump to 1.6.9. Now when I try...

Hi Freddie, given the info from user23 and also given the fact that it is possible to set L2ARC to metadata only that would seem to say to me that an SSD is a valid solution for speeding up metadata related actions on a large pool, ie ls, checking file dates etc. The reason I posted this...

Thanks for the info user23, your setup is pretty close to mine so interesting to hear. So what utilisation are you seeing on your 2x 80GB SSDs? Does that pretty much all get used despite being set to metadata only? thanks, Andy.

Hi SirDice, I'm almost not bothered at all about caching data, although I haven't set metadata caching only I have allowed the metadata max to be equal to ARC max. So on that basis my RAM requirements are going to be more related to number of files than quantity of storage. Not sure if there...

Hi, just wanted to ask if anyone has any first hand experience with improving slow ZFS performance with large pools with directories with many thousands of files. Specifically I have a 30TB pool on which I'd like to improve the general performance for directories containing large numbers of...

Hi, the issue is you are trying to deliver mail without having the domains configured in DNS, which is not a normal configuration for any SMTP server. The suggestion I made addresses this issue but apparently isn't all that is required if you are still having issues. Given the issue is a Postfix...

Seems you need to force postfix to check the hosts file, try googling smtp_host_lookup = native,dns

Re: How can I do RDP / VNC / TS type connections to an X11 h Hmm that's pretty unfortunate. It's a significant improvement over straight X11 or VNC. Anyone any ideas if the Linux version would be likely to work with Linux compatibility on FreeBSD? I've not had to use Linux compatibility so...

Hi, why don't you try the driver available for FreeBSD 9.0 from Adaptec? https://www.adaptec.com/en-us/speed/rai ... 42_tgz.htm Assuming there isn't a more recent driver included in FreeBSD 9.0, thanks, Andy.

Re: How can I do RDP / VNC / TS type connections to an X11 h Hi, I haven't actually used this on FreeBSD, only on Linux, but the best solution as far as I'm aware is NoMachine net/freenx. It's strong points are it runs over SSH so is secure and it's very fast, thanks, Andy.

Hi, I'd just like to confirm that the end user has confrimed that mails are no longer display with an incorrect date after removing the locale config completely from the system (ie system is now using the default locale).

Hi Ralph, yes thanks, just by changing the settings to UTF-8 in Putty the date will display correctly. The original issue I had was end users reporting that mails recieved from the system showed odd dates, ie like 1970, I'm not even 100% its due to this issue but as I didn't understand it...

Hi Ralph, thanks for your reply. I'm using Putty for testing the shell, the same corrupt date output can be seen in Sendmail emails. I've really not sure wether Sendmail etc should work with 8-bit encoding so your suggestion about changing users .profile is probably a very good one. I have...

Hi, does anyone have any idea why date outputs corrupt words when I have my locale set to UTF-8 Spanish? I've set in /etc/profile: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 MM_CHARSET=UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 export LANG MM_CHARSET LC_COLLATE LC_TIME And the output is wrong when any word contains a...

Hi, what about simply commenting out the LUN you are restoring in the ctl.conf and running a kill -HUP against the ctld process?

It is, its replication of a file system and snapshots, but it addresses the issue you raised about recovering accidentally deleted files. I manage systems with snapshots which are maintained for years, its not a problem in my case so may work for the original poster. For example I have systems...

That's when you have to make use of snapshots, in ZFS you can maintain snapshots on both live and backup systems to provide you with point in time copies of data. If you don't have any tape or any other offline backups then this is a must and should be factored into your total available storage...
