radius# uptime 11:01PM up 553 days, 13:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 very good result, but thinking that way is quite a nonsense. you have to shut down, then just shut down! if you want to talk about how well your server works, how stable it is and how good admin are you, then

1. Monthly sponsoring of around 50 to 100 USD add two zeroes to this values then maybe FreeBSD core team will be interested. of course i can't speak of them, but i think so. if they would mention companies for 50$ then www.freebsd.org would be unreadable completely as there will be 5

ZFS is thoroughly 64-bit and uses 64-bit math pervasively. That means you have to emulate all those operations with 2 32-bit values, and on the register-starved x86 platform you end up with absolutely horrible performance. no this difference isn't that great. it doesn't use much less CPU on the

You can make ZFS work on i386, but it requires very careful tuning and is not going to work brilliantly well for particularly large or high-throughput filesystems. you mean "high transfer" like reading/writing huge files. anyway not faster than properly configured UFS+maybe gstripe/gmirror. f

- Filesystem sizes are dynamic. They all grow and shrink inside the same pool, so you don't have to worry about making one too large or too small. there are actually almost no filesystems, just one filesystem with many "upper descriptors" and separate per filesystem quota. just to make happ

content does get stored in main memory only. So it can happen that content gets stored in the swap partition or in a local swap file in the main file system (as a file or part of a file). Temporarily, of course, and splitted. You know what I mean. :-) of course, i meant virtual memory saying mem
