ZFS provides the RAID6 protection (actually RAIDz2) which allows for 2 physical disk failures as you want. Snapshot is a file system feature that allows you to see your file system at many points of time historically but without requiring space to store all the data as you would need to have...

Unless I am missunderstanding the OP it is here: /dev/da1s1e 97496006 87295930 2400396 97% /data/algemeen

Well, you can start by checking the subfolder sizes on the server under /data/algemeen, ie: du -sh /data/algemeen/* and then check if that looks like what you'd expect. You could also shutdown samba and while samba is down check if any processes have files open under /data/algemeen, ie...

Hi, well your question is missing a bit of detail, such as how does windows explorer communicate with FreeBSD? I guess you are using Samba. Have you checked the basic stuff, like are the files and folders you are moving actually removed from the server? Perhaps you don't have the...

Can show us all the rc.conf lines relating to jails, I gues that something is wrong in there. If other jails are working then possibly the config file jail_list doesn't include dhcp? As for the rules, the main thing is to make sure there is a ruleset defined in /etc/devfs.rules. cheers Andy.

No, it definately works. But 0.0.0.0 and :: are not valid IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, what are you trying to achieve? If you set these to valid addresses I'm sure it will work... thanks Andy. PS ok, in theory :: is all IPv6. But what happens if you don't comment this out? As I have done.... PPS...

Hi Johan, For SAN I read something like a fibrechannel connected replacement for an EMC array, for NAS I read an Ethernet connected replacement for a NetApp array. SAN doesn't seem to be something well supported on FreeBSD, relative to Linux or Solaris for example. At different levels...

Hi, sorry, can't help on the problem. But for what its worth I can recommend rsyslog as an alternative. I have had this running with MySQL well for a few years. Perhaps it would also be a fit for your requirement.... thanks Andy.

The thing with glabel is that it writes data to the last sector on the disk, so I take that to mean it can overwrite data on your file system. I've never had that 100% clear tho, so if anyone with more experience or knowledge of the source code wants to chip in please do! I've steered clear of...

Check out the Dovecot wiki for info on Dovecot http://wiki2.dovecot.org It contains useful tips like: Andy.

The only alignment issues you need to worry about are if you are using Advanced Format drives (because they lie to the OS about their sector size). But it's a totally different issue than your original question, just thought I'd chip in in case you were getting the two confused... ta Andy.

Hi, the simplest way to re-read the exports file is to run: # pkill -HUP mountd It´s the mountd daemon that needs to re-read the config... thanks Andy.

Possibly its using StartTLS, which would mean it would connect to the non-SSL port for both encrypted and unencrypted connections. ie see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STARTTLS Other than that I can't say, I use ejabberd (also from ports) and it works well for me... Andy.

You can spam scan outbound mail. To automate a blacklist, not sure of any method other than parsing your Postfix logs with a custom script and adding any over active IPs to the blacklist. Andy.

I don't use Postfix, but you mean something like: http://nixcraft.com/mail-servers/3288-postfix-blacklist.html ? Andy.

Hi, it's really impossible to tell you what to buy. If you already had these systems running on non-virtualised servers and could provide some info on load patterns etc then someone could have a stab at saying what might be appropriate for a virtualised server. Without any info on load its...

Hi, never used Zimbra, but you didn't say if you'd checked that it is actually listening on port 80, ie via netstat or lsof. Also, if you shutdown Zimbra, and have Apache listen on port 80 can you connect to Apache? if yes this its just a Zimbra issue... ta Andy.

There are the LSI SAS2008 based cards, ie: http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS9210-8i.aspx But you need to run FreeBSD 8 STABLE or FreeBSD 9 (beta) as the driver isn't in the current RELEASE (8.2 or 7.4). Andy. PS the driver will be in 8.3-RELEASE and 9.0-RELEASE if...

ZFS is fairly stable on i386 now, so you should be ok regarding that. You should follow the guides for setting up ZFS as if it was an i386 machine with 4GB RAM I think, then your other programs can take advantage of PAE and the extra RAM. As I said, the link I posted mentions some other...

It's right here, for FreeBSD 8.2: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/hardware.html#MISC-NETWORK You need to look for the controller chip, which is listed as supported by the igb(4) driver, Andy.
