I have a couple of sandisk usb cruzers (32 GB) that are acting as zroot. One has gone bad in the mirror set and I need to replace it ASAP. It may or may not be due to excessive writing ( I have no idea is all ). Update: FreeBSD 11.1. What I would like to do is two-fold. First, I want to what I...

Background: I am on FreeNAS (9.3, latest at the time of this writing), and I am having an unusually hard time determining if the jails I am creating through it are providing SMP access for threaded processes. Question: Concurrently (no pun intended), I am trying to find any document on the...

gcc is not part of base as of 9.x, clang is.; to use gcc on newer systems you must install it from Ports. "open gcc.exe" is nonesense. Do a "which gcc".

Well done!

Surely there is, I just don't know what knobs to hit.

Ceph is certainly interesting and compelling, however be aware of a few things: 1. the fs support must be abled to do anything that closely resembles traditional cli back up methods (ceph stores files in blocks that are placed all over) 2. ceph is not meant if your SAN is anything but 100%...

Are you upgrading from 9.x to 10?

FreeNAS will be your friend here.

If from the internal (192.168.1.x) machine you ping an external server (www.google.com e.g.) and you get a response back, then it should be working.

What are the contents of /var/tmp/usr/ports/www/apache22/work/httpd-2.2.25/config.log ?

For any machine from which I export NFS, I almost always go with FreeNAS these days. Dead simple.

Thank you! I was thinking along these lines, and if I have to go that route it seems like a fair enough solution. Anyway I slice it, I will either have to write a custom script. ++ for understanding what I was asking, too. Cheers, Update: This worked like a charm. I just copied over...

I want to start up at least 2 different instances of Sphinx (each with distinct config files, listening port, processes, etc). It is unclear if this is possible via rc.conf. For 1 user instance it is easy: sphinxsearch_enable="YES" sphinxsearch_conffile="/home/user1/sphinx.conf"...

Well, there you have it. Thanks!

I see collectd and collectd5, but are there any plugins (e.g., collectd-mysql, collectd-apache, etc) in there? I can't seem to locate them. If not, what canonical sources are used by those needing them in FreeBSDland? Thank you, Brett:stud

I am interested in ceph on FreeBSD, and it's important to realize that there are basically three ways to interface the storage cluster. The POSIX compliance is for the CephFS (ls, cd, etc). There is however a HTTP interface that talks both Amazon S3 and OpenStack Swift. The third is for a...

I would recommend anything related to SMP or many-core machines, particularly the schedulers and utilities like cpuset.

I would recommend a jail for more efficient use and coordination of hw resources through the OS. Depending on your security model, you may end up having several jails. I don't know anything about FreeNAS, though. Brett

I was thinking it was the interaction before I dumped ZFS. I tried gmirror, then striped, then back to gmirror. Both approaches cause the slowdown, though I have not monitored system resource statistics. I was using zfs-status when ZFS was employed; I suppose I can use the same to mine out the...

Thank you, both. I'll investigate both avenues. I thought that a more hierarchical approach would work better, which is why I switched. But I think I went from one extreme to another - from all files in a single directory to a maximally high tree of directories containing one file each. Brett
