Hi all, I started an EC2 Instance on AWS using this AMI: FreeBSD 13.1 AMI But what I get is a FreeBSD with freebsd-ufs and not with zfs. Has anyone experience or an idea how to get the latest FreeBSD with ZFS running on Amazon EC2 ? kind regards, Martin

Hello guys, I have some conceptual questions. First of all, on average servers, would swap really be necessary? Or does FreeBSD already handle memory pressure so well that it doesn't need to be swapped? I don't know why, but FreeBSD Server Instances on Amazon EC2 have no swap. On NAS devices...

Hello all, I have a FreeBSD 13 on AWS EC2. I will install the Matrix homeserver (synapse), but for security reasons, I will do it in a Jail. And I plan to have another Jail for other service as well (like IRC Server). What is the best Jail Management Tool in your opinion? Iocage? The second...

I am running a FreeBSD EC2 instance with a single jail. In a regular homebrew setup, I would create a jail in "shared IP" (iocage) mode, and configure my router to forward various ports to the jail. In EC2, I am not sure whether to share the public IP or assign a new one. I created a new...

I modified the volume size for a partition on AWS Console and it does not show up in gpart show. It does show up after the reboot. Am I missing any steps here or is reboot required for FreeBSD 11.0 instances in this case? Can we do a service restart or something that can avoid reboot? Before...

Hi All, I have been facing a strange problem on AWS, where I created a large FreeBSD NFS server, with the below configuration. My throughput to writing a file is 600-800 Mbps and reading files are much higher. I have no issues with throughput, but the problem is with while accessing a folder...

As a relative newcomer to FreeBSD, but something of a lapsed veteran of the Unix/System V era, I am curious about returning to my Unix roots by running FreeBSD in the Amazon and/or Azure clouds. My company online training business will be upgrading soon, and we have an option, one that arises...

Hi! I have a few machines running on Amazon cloud (EC2) and I was going to update them to 11.1 today. But all of them hangs in the loader after the upgrade. (If I install a new machine with 11.0 and then updates it works just fine. But my old machines hangs). I noticed this problem already in...

Hello, all! I've been playing around with netmap successfully on various local machines but am having difficulties on EC2, specifically with FreeBSD 11. Using Collin Percival's 10.3 AMI, I'm able to add the netmap device, rebuild the kernel, and run netmap samples liked "bridge.c" However...

I’ve never been in a server room from which I could not steal a random hard drive without getting caught, if I wanted. I have been in server hosting companies’ rooms in more than one countries. Should I find one that employs guards with machine guns, still there is a point from which it isn’t...

Is it possible to have a Amazon EC2 instance attach to multiple VPC interfaces? I currently have 3 VPC interfaces with public ip address attached to a FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE instance. The configuration looks good and appears to be quite flexible. However I can only ping the public address of the...

Hi Everyone I'm currently trying to setup Jails via EzJail on a couple of AWS EC2 instances. One is running 10.1 and the other is 10.2 (both running RELEASE). When I try to start a Jail I get the following error on both machines: ezjail-admin start db Starting jails: cannot start jail...

I have installed a FreeBSD10 instance on Amazon EC2. By using pkg I have also installed nodejs, npm. I have put a simple HTTP server code in my directory: /usr/ec2-user/app1/index.js with code: var koa = require('koa');// is an http app framework var app = koa(); app.use(function * () {...
