An iSCSI disk device when connected to an iSCSI client system behaves just like a direct attached disk. So anything you can do with a physical disk attached to VMware, you can do with an iSCSI disk in terms of connecting to other systems. I haven't tried moutning a VMFS volume on any other OS if...

I've read that istgt with ZFS provides better performance with ESXi than NFS, have you looked into that/discounted that for any reason? cheers Andy.

Hi, if it is your intention to send subsequent snapshots as incrementals then this menthod will work fine, except from the initial send as you have found out. In that instance simply do the first non-incrememental send as root, thanks Andy.

With respect to the link, I would guess disabling NFS flushing will likely cause data corruption of the VMware file system in the event of a powerloss of the NFS server. The article said that this hack had been in use for some time without issues but didn't specify if they had actually tested...

If you are totally new to the UNIX world (including Linux) then it would be good to know: Unlike Windows, a UNIX server doesn't have to be listening on many OS related ports (this is great for security). For example, if you want to have a web server, you can have it only listening on port 80...

Not sure, but I would recommend VirtualBox instead. Its free, it supports many OS's and 9.0-RC3 works with it (I am running 9.0-RC3 amd64 on Windows 7 64bit), thanks Andy.

Hi, Dell don't officially support FreeBSD so AFAIK you cannot install OMSA on FreeBSD (even with Linux binary support). On FreeBSD the only Dell hardware monitoring I do is of the hardware RAID, I use a custom script. For Nagios you could look at this...

You can also just check: sysctl dev.mpt.0.nonoptimal_volumes Rebuild will normally happen automatically, thanks Andy.

Ok thanks for that, I had a check and it's in 8.2-RELEASE too, so no worries for me. cheers Andy.

Hi, ok thanks for the info, hopefully I can assume the c202 will work, looking on the Intel specs they both seem to be essentially the same product. Can you tell me what driver supports the c204 on your system? The c202 or c204 don't seem to be listed on the hardware compatibility for...

I've used this method to dual boot previously Windows and Linux, I guess it should also work for FreeBSD and triple booting: http://www.mastincrosbie.com/mark/linux-ob6k/win2k.html thanks Andy. PS sorry, actually not sure about the impact of UEFI.

Hi, just wanted to double check as it's not listed in the hardware compatibility list, anyone know if the intel C202 SATA chipset is supported in FreeBSD 8 or 9? As in the controller in this Fujitsu server: https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/docs/public/ds-py-tx140-s1.pdf thanks Andy.

Hi, It sounds like you have overwritten the OS X boot loader, so I'd guess you will have to find an OS X CD to recover from this. Did you follow any particular guide when doing the dual boot install? Also another idea, if you just want to be able to play with FreeBSD or any other OS you...

No, I was suggesting running the recieve at the time of backup on the backup server (I was assuming it would be an option to have a backup server that supports ZFS). If you are unable to load the incremental data each time it is sent or at least regularly it would seem best to think about...

Hi, you can use a shell "while" loop to achieve this quite easily. However wouldn't it be better to read in the snapshots as they are created? If there is any problem with the recieve action its better to know before rather than later. thanks Andy.

As I said, Im not really understanding you, are you using google translation? Also as I said, I agree with the wiki so why would I modify it?

Well yes, yes you can compare them. Anyway, I was trying to respond to your question, but as I suspected I don't seem to have understood it. If you can put it more clearly maybe I can answer it, but you are jumping around alot and not being specific in what you write in your posts... My...

Well I'm still not sure I understand you, are you referring to: vs Sebulon and my assertion that on any RAID, RAID10 will always be faster? The point is ZFS isn't just a file system, its a RAID system, volume manager and file system rolled into one. A file system that doesn't provide RAID...

Sorry I don't understand your question/statement. The wiki supports what Sebulon said, RAID10 (or 1+0 however you want to write it) is best for IO for ZFS and as a general rule for any RAID system. thanks Andy.

I've had Alfresco running with diablo-jdk for years, its not really used any more but it still works and has never given me any problems... thanks Andy.
