Your Telefonica modem is configured as a bridge?

Big companies will go for (cheaper) x86 platforms with BSD or Linux so I don't see Solaris and Sun's hardware succeeding in the future. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2013/06/07/ibm_hit_hard_in_uk_server_market_bloodbath/

Any idea how to use dtrace to debug a C++ object oriented application?

Any idea how to write a dtrace inline command (or a simple script) that display TCP send packets by remote address?

I understand Sun had a lot of good stuff, lots of qualified engineers, but they did not know to may money out of their products. And Larry Ellison knows to do that (make money) so Oracle wants to get most of money out of Sun and they are also upset because they could not win over Google on Java...

http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/06/08/051235/oracle-discontinues-free-java-time-zone-updates "So, the interesting part is that Oracle has now decided to only release these updates if you have a Java SE support contract." There's a FreeBSD package that is needed in order to install Java...

Thank you! I think that's my case and yes, I have 9.1-RELEASE. I thought it's a feature not being able to overwrite pool/volume that is mounted as root.

@vermaden, A quick question: on your tutorial at section Road Warrior Laptop, you run the following commands: zpool create -f -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache sys /dev/gpt/sys0 zpool create -f -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache local /dev/gpt/local0.eli cp /tmp/zpool.cache /mnt/boot/zfs/ At the end...

I've used @vermaden's tutorial to install FreeBSD on my work machine. Then I wanted to move my work machine to a VirtualBOX Guest FreeBSD (on a Mac). I've used the same installation tutorial on a VirtualBox machine to get a very basic installation of FreeBSD (where I wanted to put my work...

I had 1.5 TB of data on the pool with dedup(in fact it was 3.5TB real data), mostly source code, small files. When I copied (write) to that pool I got 2-3 MB/s transfer rate, on a 8GB RAM machine. And since I did not have ssd at that time I've tried to use ZFS L2ARC on a USB flash drive but did...

@vermaden: Thank you! I've asked about RAM because I've tried dedup and worked bad for me (of course I've tested only with 8G RAM but then the pool was not big) and I've also read this: http://constantin.glez.de/blog/2011/07/zfs-dedupe-or-not-dedupe "For every TB of pool data, you should...

I've read that in order to use dedup you need lots of memory. I've used it for 1.5TB (dedup was x3) with only 8GB of RAM and it worked very slow. In my case I've read I would need 24GB of RAM for 1.5 TB of data with high dedup ratio. So 110 TB of physical data how much memory do you have?

@phoenix: What is the amount of RAM memory installed in that backup server?

Hi, I wonder when will be Gimp 2.8 available with FreeBSD's ports. (Version 2.8 for Linux&Windows was released in May) If you have any info on that please share.

I also had the same issues, RAM was my problem too. If your system crashes when compiling kernel and world run a test on RAM, althought some apps that test memory might not found defective memory, better replace the RAM and try to recompile. Regarding your hard drive issue I wonder if in your...

Thanks @gkontos ! From now on I'll use the following workflow: 1. Install FreeBSD base with a script (similar with Vermaden's script from FreeBSD Madness tutorial) 2. Get ports using portsnap: portsnap fetch portsnap extract 3. Compile and install Subversion from FreeBSD's Ports 4. Get...

I like to install very basic FreeBSD first and then get sources and recompile everything. I've used csup then I've moved to subversion. My current workflow is: 1. Install FreeBSD base with a script (similar with Vermaden's script from FreeBSD Madness tutorial) 2. CVSup sources and...

I know that it is mostly used for 3D but I know people that use it as a CAD program: it's called Blender.
