This is quite solid advice. Very informative as well. Thank you! In actuality it is one specific application that I was wanting to call these tools. According to what you have pointed out, it makes better since to find a way to have that specific application call lbzip2 rather than rewiring the...

Hi! I am wanting to make use of parallel bzip2 compression using lbzip2 as the default option on an 8 core FreeBSD 10.3 machine. My question is if I do the following: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /usr/bin/lbzip2 bzip2 ln -s /usr/bin/lbzip2 bunzip2 ln -s /usr/bin/lbzip2 bzcat Will all...

Very interesting discussion. Does anyone know of NetBSD's NPF is possibly being given consideration for porting in the future? It seems to have been written from the ground up to be an multi-thread aware packet filter.

Hi! Thanks! I also found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/352837/how-to-add-file-extensions-based-on-file-type-on-linux-unix which is exactly my use case and might be of use for someone else with the same scenario. There are several examples as well in that link. I essentially used...

I have a peculiar problem that I can't quite figure out how to solve. I have around 500 folders, each of which contain 2,000 files each. Each file is of a different document type, i.e. .rtf, pdf and .doc mainly. The issue is that none of the files have an extension present in the file name...

You might want to try PC-BSD if you are looking for an out of the box desktop. FreeBSD is a wonderful toolkit that does what it does very well but it may not be for everyone.

Hopefully this makes it to BSD Now, there is very wide use for this.

Hmm. I imagine there aren't many people using this in this particular way, but does anyone have any clues as to what might have gone wrong?

I thought I would reinvigorate this thread because I am trying to do something largely similar using www/apache24 and www/mod_wsgi 4-4.4.22. In summary I would like to use the python web user interface for the document indexer deskutils/recoll. I have taken the below described steps to install...

There is some ongoing discussion about the possibility of porting HAMMERfs to FreeBSD. Do you all think this would be a welcome addition to FreeBSD or is ZFS enough for now? More can be read on the Dragonfly digest which references a mailing list discussion here...

Yeah, I've been told the same around 200 US or so for this board. Pretty affordable for Supermicro quality, a quad Intel NIC port and 7 watts. Not to mention fanless. I guess it woul'nt be all that useful for those who like to do transcoding but for a stable professional system with a dedicated...

April 8th is supposed to be the launch date. Looking forward to picking up a couple of these.

Has anyone seen these new Supermicro boards in the wild? http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Atom/X10/A1SRi-2358F.cfm Looks like they would make a great perimeter firewall system or even a low power NAS. It has a quad port Intel NIC and IPMI.

Very beautiful! I hope it all goes well.

Every time I read a forum post where someone has had an issue with ZFS (can't import pool, pool corruption etc.), I tremble just a little bit. For such a highly resilient file system, there sure are a lot of use cases where POOF, you can just loose everything. While I agree that the features and...

Is HBSD a drop in replacement for FreeBSD for most purposes? I've tried it a few times in a VM and it seems pretty close.

The hosts seemed to have had a good laugh, taking pot shots at OpenBSD and all.

This was very informative. Sorry to continue with the off topic bits, but I wonder if it might be the case that adding a separate log device during the initial pool creation might mitigate this to some extent? I've read elsewhere that it seems to be the meta-data that gets bounced around a lot...

Hmm. Oko is going to love this one!

Could the new autofs(5) be a temporary workaround?
