Configuring and assigning an IP address to an APC 7900
When you first get your APC 7900, you won’t be able to talk to it. Here is how I configured mine. Assign an IP adress to the APC 7900 To assign an IP address to an APC 7900: # arp -s 10.0.0.128 00:C0:B7:78:8A:7E # ping -s 113 10.0.0.128 PING 10.0.0.128 (10.0.0.128): 113 data bytes 121 bytes from 10.0.0.128: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=91.755 ms 121 bytes from 10.0.0.128: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=4.165 ms 121 bytes from

NOTE TO SELF
Name based virtual hosts are quite possible with SSL if you use SNI. A fairly recent version of OpenSSL is required for that, >= 0.9.8.
ZFS – how much space do I have?
According to this, I have 5.41T available. $ zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT storage 12.7T 7.28T 5.41T 57% ONLINE – According to this, I have 3.7T available: $ df -h | grep stora storage 3.7T 1.7G 3.7T 0% /storage storage/Retored 3.7T 39K 3.7T 0% /storage/Retored storage/bacula 8.0T 4.3T 3.7T 54% /storage/bacula storage/pgsql 3.7T 5.5G 3.7T 0% /storage/pgsql Which is correct?

ZFS & gmirror & drive renumbering
I am impressed…. my gmirror array continued to work even after the drives were renamed from da20 and da24 to ada0 and ada1. This happened when I tried out the ahci(4) for my SATA drives. It’s the type of thing I’m striving for soon in my ZFS array. All this started when I wanted to find out about making my ZFS array more resilient. See http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=663685+0+current/freebsd-stable (which is the top level post of

Exporting a Google Map
It was 2008 when I first created a Google Map for BSDCan and for PGCon. That year, I create one map, for each conference. In 2009, I needed two different maps because the venues were different. Each conference was at University of Ottawa, but in different buildings. It was then that I first learned, with some effort, how to export and import a Google Map. This process is must like File-Save-As, but not
