using ports or gems (easy_install)
Hi everybody, I would like to known how you manage your gem (ruby) or easyinstall (python). Do you use ports ? or directly gems or easyinstall ? or both ? For exemple when you want install some software with lots of dependances you can use (if the software use easy_install) just one easy_install and everything is installed, you can use ports for some packages but sometime not every packages are in the ports so you should need to installed it through easy_install. After that same question about updating So what you do ? And why ? Regards.

I see three possibility : 1/ write the ports (unfortunately not for me) 2/ wait until someone does (many time it's impossible) 3/ use easy_install or gem But I am using mostly Perl and CPAN is very well integrated in FreeBSD ports.

Re: ZFS install on a partition
Le 17/05/2013 ? 20:03:30-0400, Paul Kraus a écrit ZFS is stable, it is NOT as tuned as UFS just due to age. UFS in all of it's various incarnations has been tuned far more than any filesystem has any right to be. I spent many years managing Solaris system and I was truly amazed at how tuned the Solaris version of UFS was. I have been running a number of 9.0 and 9.1 servers in production, all running ZFS for both OS and data, with no FS related issues. Have you ever try to update a ZFS Pool on 9.0 to 9.1 ? I've a server with a big zpool in 9.0 I'm wonder if it's good idea to upgrade to 9.1. If I lost the data I'm close to dead person. If I thinking to upgrade to 9.1 it's because I got small issue about NFSD, LACP. Regards.

Yes, this RAID is good, but unless you use SSD disks to boost performance and a lot of RAM the hardware raid should be more reliable and mush faster. Why will the hardware raid be more reliable ? While hardware raid is susceptible to uncorrectable errors from the physical drives (hardware raid controllers rely on the drives to report bad reads and writes), and the uncorrectable error rate for modern drives is such that with high capacity drives (1TB and over) you are almost certain to run into a couple over the operational life of the drive. 10^-14 for cheap drives and 10^-15 for better drives, very occasionally I see a drive rated for 10^-16. Run the math and see how many TB worth of data you have to write and read (remember these failures are generally read failures with NO indication that a failure occurred, bad data is just returned to the system). In terms of performance HW raid is faster, generally due to the cache RAM built into the HW raid controller. ZFS makes good use of system, Before I'm installing my server under 9.0 + ZFS I do some benchmarks with ionice to compare FreeBSD 9.0+ ZFS + 12 disk SATA 7200 rpm vs CentOS + H700 + 12 disk SAS 15krpm (Both are same Dell poweredge). And the ZFS+12 disk sata goes much faster than CentOS+H700+ext4 almost everywhere. Only for small file AND small record size the ZFS is slower than CentOS. The server don't have SSD.

Strange behavior of NFS/ZFS on 9.0
Hi all, I've a server under FreeBSD 9.0 with a large ZFS pool (~ 150To) This server is use mainly for backup and NFS server, he also have 4 Gb/s interface bound with LACP. If the nfs client is close to the server (physical distance) everything is fine. When the client is far away (NFS over tcp of course) from the client side everything work (it's slow but it's working), the strange thing is when the client do some « heavy » acces to the server through NFS, we cannot ping the server during 10-30 sec and the ping come back, and some time later ( ~10-15 min) again we cannot ping the server. When I quote « heavy » it's because the traffic is ~ 40 Mbit/s. I'm sure of the relation between client acces through NFS and lost ping. Anyone have a idea.

How many disk in one pool
Hi all, I'm actually running ZFS under FreeBSD. I've a question about how many disks I «can» have in one pool. At this moment I'm running with one server (FreeBSD 9.0) with 4 MD1200 (Dell) meaning 48 disks. I've configure with 4 raidz2 in the pool (one on each MD1200) On what I understand I can add more more MD1200. But if I loose one MD1200 for any reason I lost the entire pool.

Re: Performance and mouse problems
Le 29/04/2012 ? 00:58:01+0200, Jerome Herman a écrit I've got two very strange problem I'm running 9-stable on a Dell Laptop E4200. Since this morning when I put a USB mouse (I've try three mouses to be sure) it's not working. The kernel and HAL see the mouse but Xorg don't seem do anything. The second point is the load of the system is alway more than 1 (~1.5-2) event I do nothing. I kill all services, daemon, software and the load never drop. I've stop : hald dbus powerd etc... and ps don't show any process eating some ressource. But the load is high (and the laptop is very hot). I make a csup of world and build new userland, and news kernel. And nothing change http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html Well I don't see why this can be from a misconfiguration, the usb mouse work well before I update hald and world. But I read you link and I don't have those option in my configuration of xorg. Any other idea ? But thanks. For the problem about performance I submit this problem on stable mailing list. Regards JAS I was afraid this would happen. And I fear it is just the begining. I assume you did not create any custom hald rule. Did you ? The first thing to do is to add Option AutoAddDevices Off In your ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. Then restart X and try to plug a mouse again. It may result in your mouse not working in X, but at least it should stop your computer from using all it's CPU trying to map the mouse. If indeed the CPU load does not reach skyhigh levels when you plug a USB mouse, we will be able to conclude that there is a DBus/hald problem. After some time, and read new messages ont this mailing list, I find a solution. Deactivate hald deactivate dbus Option AutoAddDevices Off put moused_enable=On in /etc/rc.conf and reboot and everything work fine again. I don't known why by using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus stop /etc/rc.d/moused start it's not working Thank all those help.

We have (very briefly) discussed the possibility of using FreeBSD pizza boxes as a storage heads direct attached to external JBOD arrays with ZFS. In perusing the list, I haven't stumbled across indications of people actually doing this. External JBODs would be running 24 to 48TB each, roughly. There would be a couple of units. The pizza boxes would be used for computational tasks, and nominally would have 8 cores and 96G+ RAM.

Ok here is what happens,
In your system you have your touchpad declared both in a static way in
your xorg config, and probed by HAL.
What happens is that when xorg starts it first install the touchpad as
required by the config file, and then tries to install it again via
autodetection. Of course the second installation of the same device
doesn't work as the device is already busy with xorg, and xorg stops to
try to auto-install devices.
When you plug another mouse, xorg is notified that there are new
devices, but starts by trying to reinstall the touchpad, fails again for
the same reason as above and stops trying.
In order to solve your problem you can try the following :
a) remove the touchpad lines from your xorg config. This way the
touchpad should be installed by auto detection. (simply comment it as
you might be needing it back soon)
b) forbid hal from probing the touchpad. If solution a fails, I would
explain to you how to do this if solution a) fails.
I try this.
I do a hal-device find the unique udi to have /dev/psm0 in input.device,
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0'
freebsd.driver = 'psm' (string)
freebsd.unit = 0 (0x0) (int)
platform.id = 'psm.0' (string)
freebsd.device_file = '/dev/psm0' (string)
info.capabilities = { 'input', 'input.mouse' } (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/psm0' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'mouse' (string)
info.addons = { 'hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse' } (string list)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbdc_0' (string)
info.product = 'PS/2 Mouse' (string)
info.subsystem = 'platform' (string)
and add a new file in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/ with
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
deviceinfo version=0.2
device
match key=info.product string=PS/2 Mouse
merge key=info.ignore type=booltrue/merge
/match
/device
/deviceinfo
restart hald, reboot and...nothing :-(
I've try also with something like

deviceinfo version=0.2
device
match key=freebsd.driver string=psm
match key=info.product string=PS/2 Mouse
merge key=info.ignore type=booltrue/merge
/match
/match
/device
/deviceinfo
but same result.
The touchpad still working and most important the mouse still NOT working.
Any help ?

Short answer : I am a proud member of the HAL and DBus are evil group. Middle answer : HAL and DBus were made, maintained and tuned with pretty much nothing but Linux in mind. As a result they hardly play well with other OS, and will tend to play worse as the time goes by. In fact general opinion is that HAL never truly worked under Linux either, it is now officially deprecated. OK. I'm just a basic user.

For one reason or another, xorg is not catching/processing the info. Can you send the Xorg log ? Just wait until X is up and then plug the mouse. I am curious to see what happens inside xorg.

Re: 7.4 - 8.2
Le 22/12/2011 à 14:59:29+0100, Damien Fleuriot a écrit The question is why do you even bother running jails with different userlands ? Keep a shared userland for all your jails, just ensure your /etc and /usr/local are private only to said jails. This way you only need to rebuild the world once, although you'll still have to run mergemaster on each jail. Well that's is very easy and very fast. I just need to run a for do done. What's take time is to rebuild apache/subversion/neon/etc... with differents options in each jail.

And I would like to known if durring this time the jail going to work «normally». So I answer to myself. Some body tell me it's like My gut reaction was Are you familiar with the game of Russian Roulette?. Wellit's work...almost. Here what I do : Upgrade kernel and userland from 7.4 to 8.2 on the host. Upgrade all userland of my all jail to 8.2 Until now everything work fine. Delete old libs/files/man and...apache stop working. After do a portupgrade -fR apache everything work again. Be careful the portupgrade -f apache is not enough. I don't known which ports have some problem but I got a SSL error. So first I just update apache. It's not good. Then apr, etc...finally I upgrade with «-fR» and everything work again. For subversion you need to force upgrade neon too. and for who want to ask me : NO I don't play Russian roulette.

Re: 7.4 - 8.2
Le 22/12/2011 à 14:24:26+0100, Polytropon a écrit For subversion you need to force upgrade neon too. You should basically be able to run v7 programs in a partially installed v8 environment as long as the COMPAT_FREEBSD7 functionality is enabled and the compat7x-i386-7.3.703000.201008_1 port or package has been installed. However, kernel and world should match each other. After an upgrade from one major version to the next one, it's the best solution to update _all_ installed ports. The man portmaster manpage contains a nice example for this situation. It should be similarly easy to achieve with portupgrade. Yes I known. Thanks for the tips. My problem is with almost 15 jails on each server (I got 3) that's take long time, event during this time I don't do many thing some service isn't up. So my message is to find the minimal thing to do and make it's working until all package is rebuild. Regards.

I'll would like to use FreeBSD with ZFS on some Dell server with some MD1200 (classique DAS). When we buy a MD1200 we need a RAID PERC H800 card on the server so we have two options : 1/ create a LV on the PERC H800 so the server see one volume and put the zpool on this unique volume and let the hardware manage the raid. 2/ create 12 LV on the perc H800 (so without raid) and let FreeBSD and ZFS manage the raid. which one is the best solution ? Neither. The best solution is to find a controller which can pass the disk as JBOD (not encapsulated as virtual disk). Failing that, I'd go with (1) (though others might disagree). Thanks. That's going to be very complicate...but I'm going to try. Any advise about the RAM I need on the server (actually one MD1200 so 12x2To disk) The more the better :) Well, my employer is not so rich. It's first time I'm going to use ZFS on FreeBSD on production (I use on my laptop but that's mean nothing), so what's in your opinion the minimum ram I need ? Is something like 48 Go is enough ?

Perhaps the H800 has the same? (If not, can you get the machine configured with a H200?) I'm not sure what you mean when you say «H200 flashed with IT firmware» ? If that's not an option, I think Option 2 will work. My first ZFS server ran on a PERC 5/i, and I was forced to make 8 single-drive RAID 0s in the PERC Option ROM, but Solaris did not seem to mind that. OK. I don't have choice (too complexe to explain and it's meanless here) but I can only buy at Dell at this moment.

Le 03/11/2009 à 16:39:25-0800, Matt Szubrycht a écrit Hello List, I cannot find any fresh information on compatibility of Dell PowerEdge R900 and FreeBSD after googling for several hours, so I decided to ask here. If this is not the right place, please redirect me to. All of our servers run FreeBSD with one exception - a CentOS machine, which adds to the overall maintenance workload and keeping up to date. Back in the day, after getting the R900 (without prior OS compatibility research), the word was that FreeBSD will not run on this hardware and we ended up installing CentOS. That was well over a year ago and I am wondering if anyone could share some insight into the current compatibility status, installation/operation pitfalls and any other tips that would allow me to get away from Linux on this R900 box and create a homogeneous server-space environment with FreeBSD 7.x. Can you specify what don't work ? What's the problem.

ion windows manager on FreeBSD
Hi all I'm trying to compile http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/download.html on my FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 and didn't success I would like to known if anyone can help me make ion work ? Maybe someone have the patch file for the system.mk ? Long time ago ion ports was kick off from the ports system because the will of the developper (please don't troll). I just saw the license just change maybe now it's possible to put again ion in the ports system ? I would like to help for the ports but as you can see I unable to build for myself.

Re: Information on Setting up a Jailed Webserver
Le 26/08/2009 à 22:59:34-0400, APseudoUtopia a écrit Hello, I have a small site which runs PostgreSQL, Nginx, and PHP. I'm looking into running nginx inside a jailed host on my server for security reasons (eg, if there is a hole in a php script). The website root is actually a working copy of my subversion repository. I have svnserve running through OpenVPN. My plan would be to have svnserve and OpenVPN running on the main system, and nginx/php running inside a jail. I was wondering if it would be somehow possible to run a command on the main system that updates the svn working copy inside the jail for nginx to serve. Would I need to do the svn up over tcp/ip from the jail to the main system? Or can I somehow update it via file://path/to/main/repo? I've never used or setup a jail before, so IMHO that's bad idea. Someday you maybe want to put your website in other machine, maybe you want to have two server to duplicate your website (just need rsync). If you want update you svn repository you can put in your subversion server in the hook-scripts something like wget http://your_website/some_where/update_repo /dev/null and in your web serveur (jail or not) you create some script update_repo with cd /your_web_site_dir svn up You can add some deny in your apache conf to authorized only your svn serveur to make the wget Also, how memory-intensive is a jail? I'm willing to run postgresql in If you have only 32Mo you can have some problem ;-) I run almost ~20 jail server on one physical server without any problem.

Re: Experience with DELL PowerEdge 2900
Le 18/01/2009 à 18:59:02+0100, Tobias Daub a écrit Hi There, I'm pretty new to UNIX/FreeBSD and I'm going to install and administrate FreeBSD on a DELL PowerEdge 2900. Does anybody have experience with that machine, or are there any known problems, for example: - Perc RAID Controller - attaching an APC to the machine and configuring the corresponding software - ACPI I've many 2900 running with FreeBSD 7.1 -- Perc Raid Controller works fine, you got many information in the syslog, for example when the patrol (something the Perc does to check the status) is launch you got Jan 17 03:00:06 xxx kernel: mfi0: 7535 (285476400s/0x0020/info) - Patrol Read started Jan 17 09:42:11 xxx kernel: mfi0: 7624 (285500525s/0x0020/info) - Patrol Read complete of course you have all information about the status of your raid. With some little script like zgrep mfi /var/log/message in your crontab you can known when one disk is in failure. Perhaps you going to have some problem when you installing the raid volume because the FreeBSD installer (in 7.0) cannot make a primary partition on the raid volume. So you just need to make the newfs directly on the all volume For example : /dev/mfid0s1a 507630220220 246800 47%/ /dev/mfid0s1e 16244334 4091194 10853594 27% /usr /dev/mfid0s1d 507630 9194 457826 2%/tmp /dev/mfid0s1f9135182 916088312760 1%/var /dev/mfid0s1g 32493962784484 29109962 3% /share /dev/mfid13545005696 399709368 2861695874 12% /databases is the only problem I found. But it's not big problem. -- APC it's very easy to use cd /usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd make install and configure the apcupsd that's all. -- ACPI : well what's you want to known ?

Re: Disenchanted with ZFS; alternatives?
Le 01/12/2008 à 09:59:15-0600, Kirk Strauser a écrit I have ZFS on my 7.1-PRERELEASE system, and while it does some spiffy things, in general I'm a bit underwhelmed. PROS: Adding new filesystems on a whim is really nice. It has a lot of really cool other features that I will probably never need. CONS: I have nearly 3GB of wired RAM, but it doesn't seem to be all that fast. For example, starting an Amanda backup on a UFS2 filesystem would get through the estimate phase almost instantly on a system that had been up for several days because of cached filesystem data. On ZFS, it still limps along even if I just finished the last backup a few minutes earlier. Other than saying I'm using ZFS, I don't seem to have much to show for it. WTF: Raidz and top-level vdevs cannot be removed from a pool. At this point, I'm almost ready to go back to good ol' UFS2, but I'd hate to give up that easy addition of new filesystems. I *could* have a single 700GB root FS but that just doesn't seem right. Are there any good, tested GEOM- based ways of getting that functionality, perhaps along the lines of using something like gvirstor and growfs as needed? Maybe my message is little in the wrong mailing-list I'm have choosing ZFSunder Solaris because for some special purpose I need a big space (~30To). So I've two Sun X4500 with Solaris x86-64 After one year I can say ZFS is fantastic file system for (IMHO) those reason : Don't have fsck (for 30To is very very useful) Snapshots is instantly make. You can put any number files in on directory (of course depend you context but it's useful for me) Very very rock solid. For the last item, I can say that because they are «big» bug in the kernel of Solaris when I start to using it. The effect is the server ... reboot when it's heavy load on SATA controller. So I've many reboot (~30) in very short time. Event that I never lost any bits of information on my FS. To come back to FreeBSD, I'm using FreeBSD since 10 years, UFS is very slow, and when UFS2 is release I'm very happy to switch to UFS2. Now FreeBSD have ZFS, and I'm using it inmy scracth because I don't really need ZFS on my server when they are ~ 100-1024Go disk. I'm using ZFS only on my personnal computer (more because to make test and send bug reports than because I'm really use ZFS) Of course when ZFS is fully integrated and very solid under FreeBSD, I'm going to very happy and use it. But at this moment for production and for «small» FS I'm not really need ZFS. I think ZFS become indispensable when the FS continue to growing ... a fsck on 4 To is very very long. When ZFS is stable ZFS UFS2 ext3 UFS1 at this moment UFS2 ZFS ext3 UFS1 Regards. -- Albert SHIH SIO batiment 15 Observatoire de Paris Meudon 5 Place Jules Janssen 92195 Meudon Cedex Téléphone : 01 45 07 76 26 Heure local/Local time: Mar 2 déc 2008 22:25:20 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Wifi Card for laptop
Le 21/11/2008 à 09:48:17+0200, Giorgos Keramidas a écrit Hi, Hmmm, that's a bit bad. Is `Fn+F2' the key that turns wireless OFF/ON for this laptop? Maybe the driver is crashing because the device detaches and re-attaches while the driver is stuck somewhere :( If you think you can grab a kernel dump from this, maybe it's going to be useful to debug the problem. OK I find the problem (and solve-it ;-). In the bios there some (very strange for me) configuration for the wifi card, it seem it's same card to handle wifi and bluetooth. And when I pres Fn+F2 he switch to bluetooth and my laptop crash... So because I don't have any bluetooth device I don't use it. After disabling bluetooth in the bios everything work fine. No driver (and of course not working) NetXtreme BCM5756ME Gigabit Ethernet PCIe I don't see `BCM5756' or `5756' anywhere in the manpages or the source of the kernel in of 8.0-CURRENT either. I think this is not supported :( So that answer my question about change to current... usable memory = 4278091776 (4079 MB) avail memory = 4124418048 (3933 MB) Heh, nice. I see you are running an amd64 build of FreeBSD, and there are *lots* of memory on this laptop :) Yes I known ;-) One of the tests you can run, to find out what is broken in wpi(4), is to build a kernel with DDB/KDB support, and grab a kernel dump when the wpi(4) interface stops working. The ``Developer's Handbook'' can help you build a debugging kernel: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html Using DDB to trace through the `live' kernel while it is stuck is a bit tricky, but if you manage to grab some of the DDB output (i.e. with a serial console or even just a photograph with a camera), then we can mail the developers of wpi(4) and ask them for more help :) OK. When I've some time I going to do this. Best Regards.

Can the FreeBSD install CD do that ? If he can't what's your advice for some software to do that ?

If you're using mod_perl2, then Apache will default to setting up the
environment perl sees as if perl was running as a separate CGI script.
See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_SetupEnv_
(defaults to 'On')
You can modify the perl environment from httpd.conf using PerlSetEnv
or PerlPassEnv. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlSetEnv_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPassEnv_
Assuming you do mean $PATH -- the executable search path -- that should
be sufficient to fix your problem. If you're really after $PERL5INC --
the path to search for perl modules -- while you can use PerlSetEnv to
set that, it's special-cased not to be passed through when running in
taint-checking mode. It's generally cleaner to have a startup.pl
script you require from the Apache conf, and that can have a BEGIN { }
block where you modify @INC before loading modules. See
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlConfigRequire_
or (preferably):
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPostConfigRequire_
which does much the same thing as a perl 'require' statement -- the
difference between the two being that PerlPostConfigRequire happens
somewhat later in the configuration process.
YE.
It's working.
Lots of thanks.

Of course I can hack the portsnap to make he don't try to see if it's fork by cron or not. But it's not a good idea IMHO, what's happen if all person do that ? I think you misread what i was saying. Inside your cron job use portsnap fetch instead of portsnap cron. that way it will fetch exactly when you run the cron job, without the randomized delay. most likely a shell script that would have the following: 1)open pf 2)portsnap fetch 3)portsnap update (- you were missing this important step also) 4)portupgrade --fetch-only --all 5)close pf Yes I known ;-) and I understand what you saying. But what I'm saying is if the developper of portsnap think it's useful to put some randomized delay I'm going to follow this. Because if I make what you say how can I known after 1 or 2 years there no other enough users to do same thing and make the portsnap server overload ? Event I make some «randomize» time in the crontab it's only when I make the crontab, that's mean every day the portsnap is launch in the same moment. The best solution is to make some «hook_script» in the portsnap and after the randomize delay is over just before the fetch is launch to run a hook-script So now portsnap cron = sleep random_time; portsnap fetch what I think is portsnap cron -h hook-script = sleep random_time; sh hook-script; portsnap fetch regards. -- Albert SHIH SIO batiment 15 Observatoire de Paris Meudon 5 Place Jules Janssen 92195 Meudon Cedex Heure local/Local time: Ven 5 sep 2008 17:53:37 CEST ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's not the to cron to do that. You must put in your script some flags. For example if you using rsnapshot (in the ports) he put a lock file in /var/run (or what's ever you want) and don't start if the script find this file. When the script is end the file is erase.

Backup you mysql config (if you change anything from standard) search the exact version pkg_info|grep mysql use pkg_delete mysql-exact_version regards. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Heure local/Local time: Lun 11 fév 2008 17:36:28 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to use two interface with jail
Le 05/02/2008 à 17:37:25+0100, Kurt Jaeger a écrit Hi! How can I make all traffic from the server/for the server pass through the first interface all traffic from the jail /for the jail pass through the second interface. In fact : How can make two «default router» on for the server, another for all jail. Assuming you can use ipfw, here's an example: - Interfaces: if1: 192.168.1.1, gateway 192.168.1.254 if2: 192.168.2.1, gateway 192.168.2.254 - system uses 192.168.1.254 as its default gateway. - IP-ranges for jails are in the 192.168.2.0/24 range. - Then add the following ipfw rule: /sbin/ipfw add 1000 fwd 192.168.2.254 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any out via if2 Give it a try. Thanks for your help. It's working. I'm using pf (old habit) and with this single ligne pass out route-to (bce1 router_address) from jail to ! network_CIDR it's working. Thanks.

ZFS for production.
Hi all. I would like to known if the ZFS can be use in production ? Are there here anyone to use ZFS in production server ? Lots of thanks. Regards. NB: I'm going to use 7.0 in production, but for the FS it's more complexe, if I lost some connexion because the 7.0 freeze is very different if I lost all data. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Téléphone : 01 45 07 76 26 Heure local/Local time: Lun 21 jan 2008 17:12:24 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How manu swap ?
Hi all I known it's classic question. Long time ago when I install a FreeBSD x86 32 bits when I have N Go of Ram the installer take 2xN Go for the swap partition. Now I just install two machine with FreeBSD amd64 version with 8Go of Ram and FreeBSD installer take 4 Go of swap. Is a bug in the installer or now FreeBSD don't need 2xRam of swap ? Regards. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Heure local/Local time: Mer 16 jan 2008 16:03:16 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I doubt that it is a bug per se. I wonder if there is a maximum size for swap compiled in somewhere. Is your system set up correctly to actually access all 8GB of ram? Yes...
