FreeBSD Appliance Questions

2013-06-28 Thread Tim Daneliuk

I am working on an NAS appliance built on FreeSBD.  Several questions:

- The vendor has rebranded everything so uname isn't helping me determine
  what exact branch of FreeBSD they used.  Is there another canonical way
  to figure this out?

- For any reasonably recent version of FBSD, is it likely that the
  Linux emulation will work correctly or are there certain versions of
  FreeBSD that do this better than others?

Thanks,

Oh one more thing - does anyone have experience - good or bad - with
installing and running the Tivoli TSM Client software under the FreeBSD
Linux emulation?

It is an EMC/Isolon but I'm not sure which model.  Still looking into it.

Hi.  Have some experience with isilon NL and ssd iseries.  Onefs 6.5 .
Dont go mucking around like you are on a normal bsd system.  It doesnt work
that way.  They have a system which is similar to cfengine which overwrites
changes so you need to do things their way not the bsd way.  Their support
is crap since emc purchase.  Threw some avere cacheing in front of our
silos but still no plans on upgrading..
