    Very offtopic. Did you know that ...

    I've read an article about OSX Lion here: http://www.infoworld.com/d/networking/why-it-wont-mac-os-x-lion-server-167787 "Why IT won't like Mac OS X Lion Server" And I was thinking that PF might help. They could also add/use ports system from FreeBSD :D. Hmm, it would be weird to administrate a...

    @SirDice right, same reason for me too! :D But if you REALLY want a MacBookPro, wait few more months. Newer models will appear with MacBook Air technology.

    Very offtopic. Did you know that ...

    I knew about IPFW but did not knew about PF. I thought they only take that they like, and all tutorials about activating OSX's firewall were about IPFW. Even big magazines wrote at that time that OSX comes with IPFW firewall, but nobody talked about PF.

    ... OpenBSD's PF - Packet Filter is included in OSX Lion? Or I am last person that finds out? $ uname -a Darwin wanna.local 11.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.0.0: Sat Jun 18 12:57:44 PDT 2011; root:xnu/RELEASE_I386 i386 $ sudo pfctl -vvsr No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions...

    ipfw quick question regarding dummynet queues and layer2 filtering

    Thank you! Yes that was the problem. Also it is easier if we split traffic outgoing and incoming using skipto rule.

    Power consumption of freeBSD vs other OS

    How did you measure power consumption? If there was no hard drive you did a netboot? 28W is too low for such config. An moatherboard with atom will eat 35W.

    ipfw quick question regarding dummynet queues and layer2 filtering

    Hi, I want to achieve dynamic traffic shaping, routing with NAT using ipfw and also to block IP-s by MAC address. Here is my rule: #!/bin/sh cmd="/sbin/ipfw -q" # external interface wan_if="em0" # internal interface lan_if="em1" b_down="512Kbit/s" b_up="256Kbit/s" conn_limit="limit...

    Load Balancing Single Session Different IPS

    I am looking for a smarter solution, rather than a script that ping both ISPs and then do failover.

    What happens if you unplug line from one of the routers? Do you have some kind of failover?

    Apparently I cannot use FreeBSD because Plesk does not support it..

    try DirectAdmin (commercial) Plesk is slow and some versions were buggy on some supported OSes (antivirus crashing mail server), but that is just what I've heard. If you want to know for sure about Plesk issues, do some research. DirectAdmin is simpler but has all basic features. And it's...

    I found this interesting and useful

    http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/linux-nas-raid.html "Our double failure rate is about 5 orders of magnitude worse than that - the majority of single drive failures are followed by a second drive failure before redundancy is established."

    Virtualbox bridging with vlans

    If you try something at layer2 in VirtualBox and you are sure the setup is correct, then try your settings on a real machine and not in VirtualBox. I had lots of problems trying to simulate a bridge of two virtual box FreeBSD guests (on an Apple OSX Host). The configuration worked ok in real...

    Quick question regarding gpart

    Plain installation on MacBook Pro section uses sysinstall: There's also a section to install using ZFS but I don't need ZFS. My main question is what partition ID is used for the command: gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptboot -i 1 da2 Is it the freebsd-boot partition or the...

    Quick question regarding gpart

    Thank you for that link. I've read that but it handles the case where FreeBSD is installed directly on the MacBook from sysinstall. In my case I install it on a FreeBSD machine/live system, on a regular PC, and then I move the drive to the MacBook. Still that page is useful for configuring...

    Quick question regarding gpart

    I want to install FreeBSD on a MacBook and I've removed the hard drive and I've installed it in my BSD laptop. I will manually install FreeBSD using the ./install.sh script from a FreeBSD USB live system. For now on the MacBook hard drive I have the following partitions (I've previously...

    Problem with bridge in VirtualBox

    I have a VirtualBox installed on a Mac (asa OSX host) and there I have two FreeBSD machines, one as a bridge and the other simulates a workstation behind that bridge. The bridge from virtual FreeBSD is not working. Just out of curiosity I've configured the same layout and configurations on a...

    Simple question regarding routes order

    Thank You! Problem Solved. I configured like in your link. The example for /etc/rc.conf was useful. Using that example I've figured out that I must set no IPs on both interfaces and then set the IP on lagg. I had a problem with WIFI. Both network interfaces must have same MAC but WIFI MAC...
