In this power, the server is running FreeBSD 10.3. I am completely and unreasonably biased: ZFS is the best filesystem out there. Do not take my word for it. Ask around. Today, I started a process I’ve been waiting to do for a while. I am replacing the 3TB drives in a 10-drive raidz2 array […]

While in Ottawa for BSDCan 2015 and PGCon 2015, I obtained a 4TB external USB HDD. It now contains copies of the videos back to 2012 for BSDCan and PGCon. This is for backup. All these videos exist elsewhere (e.g. Youtube) and I have these just for backup. NOTE: the videos for BSDCan 2015 and
Just a note for myself. I had this kind of thing in /etc/fstab so I could share one installation of plugins and themes for WordPress. /usr/local/wordress/plugins /usr/jails/freebsddiary.org/usr/local/www/wordpress/plugins nullfs ro,nosuid,noexec,late 0 0 /usr/local/wordress/themes /usr/jails/freebsddiary.org/usr/local/www/wordpress/themes nullfs ro,nosuid,noexec,late 0 0 /usr/local/wordress/plugins /usr/jails/news.freshports.org/usr/local/www/wordpress/plugins nullfs ro,nosuid,noexec,late 0 0 /usr/local/wordress/themes /usr/jails/news.freshports.org/usr/local/www/wordpress/themes nullfs ro,nosuid,noexec,late 0 0 Then I moved them to their

For future reference. This server formed the backbone of just about everything I did. It hosted about 13 domains. Sadly, it was i386 and would not do for ZFS.

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.
