I suspect it will work with acceleration as it is in fact a rebranded 6000 series GPU... http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon ... 632.0.html

Hi, just wanted to check that you realise you don't need to remove the cirrus graphics config from KVM to allow serial console access. In fact it is quite useful as a fall back if for any reason your serial console isn't working you can fire up a console using virt-viewer over an Ssh tunnel...

Hi, I have used ZFS with a Maildir based server (running Exim and Dovecot) with 1000+ users and not had any stability issues ever. I would also consider the possibility that the issue is not related to ZFS as this is very stable and has been for some time. It's true that Maildir systems may...

Hi, I have been using scripts for a few years to send snapshots in this way, as the systems are servers they are always on so I never have to worry about the snapshot not being done or sent the day before. On the odd occasion when there has been a system outage I manually correct the issue...

Hi, Yes, ZFS mirror is ZFS RAID1, with 4 or more disks ZFS will stripe data across mirrored pairs of disks to maximise performance. Normally on a server you don't need to put the OS on an SSD drive as there shouldn't be much I/O on a server OS disk. Exceptions might be were you expect swap to...

Hi, perhaps I don't understand your requirements well but I think you are missing the obvious solution when dealing with ZFS. For arguements sake, let's say you take a snapshot once a day on your live ZFS data. This you can send to another ZFS pool via ZFS send/receive. If you do the receive...

It would certainly seem unlikely to be software related to me, given how basic a function checksum is to ZFS and that there is a large user base of ZFS who are not seeing this issue. But anything is possible ;) Is the data in the pool important? If yes have you got a backup yet? Can you do...

Hi, you will often get an option between multiple RAID cards in server systems, if you can post which RAID card you expect to use then we can give a specific yes or no to that item. Or you can try identifying it yourself on the hardware compatibility list, although this isn't always...

Hi, from your first post it seems errors are being detected on multiple disks, so that would imply the issue is with some common component. The most obvious culprit would seem to be the disk controller HBA, but I guess it could equally be serveral other components such as PSU or...

Hi, You should be good with the steps you propose. If you want to have the backup pool/datasets compressed when they are not compressed on the originals I think you'll need to enable this after starting the receive command, as I believe doing a full (as opposed to incremental) receive will set...

Ok, thanks @wblock@, that's interesting to know. I had in mind info from the handbook and other source, "be careful when labelling to avoid data loss" type things that really turned me off the idea. Plus I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to these things, I'm really happy with device names...

Thanks for the reply. I personally don't like labelling as it seems unclean in the implementation to me that it allows for accidental corruption of actual data on the drive. That and old habits. I also don't like the device.hints option for the resons mentioned, it would appear that if for...

Hi, I've recently built a system with a LSI SAS 9201-16i (LSISAS2116 chipset). Today I replaced two of the drives and I see something I didn't expect. From the LSI setup screen (prior to booting the OS) I see all the drives numbered from 0 upwards as they are physically connected to the...

You should be able to build or buy a cheap PC based on any Intel or AMD x86 CPU, a 64bit CPU would be recomendable. You should find support for almost any onboard SATA controllers and network cards, a full list can be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/hardware.html The...

Hi, Some more information for you, guest process information: /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.0 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name mail1 -uuid 17def3f2-4535-3f6b-c6d6-fcd2bbb5eb6e -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev...

Hi, very quick reply. Just to let you know I've been running FreeBSD amd64 guests with multiple virtual CPUs on Ubuntu Linux for over a year and never had an issue, so it does work. Didn't do anything special to make it work either. That is with Ubuntu 11.x and 12.04. Thanks, Andy.

Ok, iostat provides all the CPU info I was after so I'll use that...

Hi forum, Does anyone know of any Nagios plugins for giving CPU info such as I/O wait etc.? There are many about for other Unixes and Linux but the only one I came across for FreeBSD relies upon the now defunct bsdsar. Or how can I get this from the command line in order to create my own...

I would guess you need to have a Kerberos realm for ever domain you require email for. As this is Dovecot specific I'd ask on the Dovecot mailing lists... Andy.

Hi, It may be best to ask this on the freebsd-net mailing list. I had a similar issue a few years ago and received assistance from one of the developers on this list, Thanks, Andy.
