Hello, list! I've googled around a little and did not find an answer to the question. I want to create ubuntu mirror using freebsd, but not the 'global' one with all the architectures and releases, the 8.04-i386+amd64 only. Any tool in ports for achieving that? -- Old mercenaries never die

gmirror of zfs mirror

2010-08-10 Thread Dick Hoogendijk
I'm convinced that ZFS mirroring is far better than gmirroring, but the latter uses much less memory (I think). My server has 3Gb and is solely used as server (web, files/nfs/samba, dns, mail). The data is serves does not change much, so I would think the data integrity checks of ZFS although
