Not sure, I haven't had a need for that yet. At this moment each jail is living in a single VLAN so it can just be attached to a single bridge that is part of that VLAN, and I let my UniFi gateway route between VLANs where ncessary.

Allright, it is working now and I feel a little stupid. I failed to mention I also have an untagged bridge0 with em1 itself as a member, assuming this would bridge only the untagged traffic coming in from em1, leaving the tagged traffic for the other bridges. It turns out this bridge with the...

Since my removal of the VLAN interfaces from the jails they do have a default gateway, situation is now: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire default 192.168.6.1 UGS epair61 127.0.0.1 link#1 UH lo0...

I can see the ARP requests leaving on the network because other devices (such as my UniFi gateway) receive them on their correct VLAN interfaces (so they get tagged correctly by FreeBSD and then get forwarded correctly by the switch) and send out replies on the same VLAN when I tcpdump at their...

Allright, because I do not intend to have a jail in multiple VLANs I was able to simplify things a bit by not using VLAN interfaces inside the jails. Between the jails and the host everything stays untagged, and jails on different VLANs are still isolated because they are on different bridges...

I have worked with FreeBSD and/or VLANs for quite a while now, but now I have something I cannot figure out. Hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to set up a FreeBSD box with VNET enabled jails where I can put each jail into a specific VLAN, all accessible via a single...

GEOM in general. It's awesome.

Apparently it uses already installed files like atalk/globals.h instead of the ones in the package because system includes are used for the atalk header files instead of local includes. I see that OPTION_DBUS_AFPSTATS is defined in this file in 3.0.3 but not in 3.0.2 and lower. Uninstalling...

I would not worry about the longevity of HDD's spinning all the time. In fact, in a server, I would rather let my drives just spin all the time instead of having its moving parts and temperature fluctuate, even if that only happens infrequently. Power consumption can be a good argument though...

Just hope that absolutely nothing goes wrong with all other drives during the rebuild phase, I tend to be scared of single-redundancy schemes because of that, especially with larger drives... rebuilding a 3 TB drive in a RAID-Z2 gives me a bit more peace of mind ;)

I've used a 3Ware SATA RAID card with BBU with ZFS quite successfully in the past by exporting six drives as Single Disk units and creating a pool with those. With a functioning BBU, the on-card cache RAM can be considered "safe storage" when disk cache flush commands are concerned so even...

Theoretically, also a foreground fsck might not be able to fix all damage resulting from this. Disabling disk caches will completely kill performance, so IMO ZFS is the only option for modern drives that use things like NCQ, because it actually enforces a write order by use of BIO_FLUSH.

OpenMediaVault is not based on FreeBSD, so I doubt many people have definite answers here. However, normally it is safe to use a storage device as soon as the OS makes it available to you, even if it still does things with it behind your back (e.g. verifying RAID parity or whatnot). Maybe the...

I rather have a few seconds extra boot time than an administrative nightmare. Just create your pool on the spindle drive and put two GPT partitions on the SSD: one for the gptzfsboot loader and perhaps another for a nice L2ARC to speed things up during the time you're actually working on your...

I'm looking into creating a highly available SAN setup with HAST and ZFS, and I'm trying to find a solution for the following scenario: secondary HAST node dies --> primary starts to accumulate dirty writes primary HAST node dies as well before secondary comes back up --> SAN is highly...

AFAIK 6 disks is better with raidz2 instead of 7 anyway because of the inability to have evenly divided stripes using a 7-disk (5-data, 2-parity) configuration.

First make sure the base userland is really not upgraded by doing a freebsd-update IDS and see if that gives wrong checksums. If that one checks out you probably confused the base userland with the ports userland which do not need to be upgraded when doing a minor release upgrade. If only the...

Also, when performing a major version upgrade with freebsd-update, it leaves the old shared libraries on your system as long as you do not invoke a third freebsd-update install, which removes them. So you can rebuild your ports at your own pace before you do that. I'm not sure if there will...

Looks like one of your USB drives lost power, you sure it can handle multiple drives on USB power? It's by itself a low power machine anyway.

Apparently you can flash the thing to the well-known LSI 9211-8i firmware: http://www.servethehome.com/ibm-serveraid-m1015-part-4/ I know the mps driver does not support IR mode, but I'm not sure whether that means that the entire driver won't load when using IR firmware, or that it will simply...
