I’ve been building up a new server lately. Now I’m ready to move the tape library from the old host to thew new host. As I opened the new server to insert the existing SCSI card, I discovered that I needed a new SCSI card. It just would not fit. This is the card I […]

Today it finished. That ZFS send I started on Monday finally finished. Recap The original command was: # zfs send storage/compressed/bacula@2013.07.22:06:33 | mbuffer | ssh -t dan@10.5.0.20 ‘zfs receive system/usr/local/bacula/FromKraken’ That’s was the initial send of the filesystem.
