zpool upgrade to get lz4_compress

2 Comments / ZFS / By /

FreeBSD now has zl4 compression for ZFS. But you must upgrade your pools to get it. If you try before upgrading, you’ll get: # zfs create -o recordsize=8k -o primarycache=metadata -o compress=lz4 system/usr/home/dan/pgsqlsql cannot create ‘system/usr/home/dan/pgsql’: pool must be upgraded to set this property or value So, let’s upgrade: # zpool upgrade -a This system

mounting the FreshPorts chroot within a jail

Leave a Comment / ezjail, FreeBSD, FreshPorts, Jails, Open Source / By /

Even this method can be fraught with difficulty. In an attempt to get the fairest information possible, FreshPorts uses a chroot solution, first
