I spent my lunch, and most of my mortgage payment, on 4 x 4TB Blue 4TB SSD 3D NAND (WDS400T2B0A). In this post: FreeBSd 13.1 smartctl output partition creation zpool creation In they go This is them, being inserted into the system: I am concerned by that 150.000MB/s transfers smartctl Let’s look at the smartctl output, just in cases there are returns.

Today I noticed that all the drives in the R730 host had 150MB/s speeds mentioned in the boot messages. They are all SSDs on an SAS bus. They should be at 600.000MB/s. The HBA in question is a AVAGO MegaRAID SAS FreeBSD (aka PERC H730P Mini). It can use either the mfi driver (default) or the mrsas driver (by setting hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=”1″ in /boot/loader.conf This is an SSD in a PCIe slot: This is

Over the past few days, I’ve posted a lot about transferring jails from two hosts into one host. One of the steps involves using zfs send | zfs recv to send the files from one host to another. I’m using syncoide for that transfer. A new fileystem’s recordsize defaults to 128K. In my case, that is usually OK, except for some specific datasets. For example: * video * backups * distfiles (tarballs) Here

I’ve started merging these two hosts: r710-01 slocum into this one host: r740-01 The goal is to then retire those first two hosts. This post covers the initial bulk copy of all the data from two hosts into the one. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 Each jail runs on its own zfs filesystem Not covered by this post Creating jails Creating snapshost Detailed usage of syncoid hosts not using zfs The overall process

While I was moving jails from one host to another, I decided to start using /etc/jail.conf.d/. The idea is each jail gets its own configuration file in that directory, instead of using /etc/jail.conf. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 But first, you should know Let’s get some things out in the open before you jump into the change. The main advantage of /etc/jail.conf.d/ is each jail gets its own configuration file. Easy to find.

After moving the poudriere jail (pkg01) to the new host (r730-01), I noticed this message from Nagios: That “email found in . /var/mail/dan” message is significant. In general mail on my hosts/jails is not delivered locally. It all goes off-host. That’s why I have this Nagios check. When mail like that is found, it’s either a configuration error or something local has gone wrong. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 poudriere-3.3.7_1 NOTE: This is

This is a quick post about the steps I’m using to move my jails from one host to another. This is bing done as I merge two hosts into one. I have not attempted to automate this, apart from the initial syncoid copying of data. This post is base roughly upon my Mastodon post from yesterday.

NOTE: If you’re looking for a jail configuration for poudriere, please refer to Configuration for running poudriere in a jail on FreeBSD 14. I recently moved the pkg01 jail from one host to another. I’m having trouble getting it to build packages.

After booting, my vms are not started by sysutils/vm-bhyve. Why? Perhaps it’s because I did not set vm_list. Here is me starting them today up after booting the host yesterday. NOTE: I already have a not to myself to add VM monitoring to Nagios.
