The new gateway configuration
Today I created the new gateway machine. It is a ZFS-only system with 3x3TB drives in a mirror configuration. The hardware was my old ZFS workhorse, now replaced by something with more storage. I had a moment of panic, thinking this server had just one NIC, but I was wrong. em0 will be the local

Using Bacula in a jail
I use FreeBSD. I’ve used it since 1998. For me, it does good stuff, reliably, and predictably. The community is very supportive and helpful. That goes a long way when choosing your open source operating system. Included within FreeBSD, since FreeBSD 4.0 in March 2000, is a great tool for separating out services and to

Moving Bacula Volumes from one Storage to Another
A few weeks ago, I moved some Bacula Volumes from one Storage Daemon to another. In fact, I was decommissioning the old bacula-sd and creating a new one. I copied all the Volumes over. Backups have been running smoothly ever since. However. Today I tried a restore. It failed. Without any useful diagnostic information. Here

nagios check for Bacula Pool volumes
I’m thinking about a Nagios check to let me know the status of various Bacula pools. As in, how many volumes are left, versus the maximum number of volumes permitted in this pool. Here is the bconsole command I would use: And here’s the command line bit which might work: I’ll ponder this a bit

Strict Standards: Declaration of Suffusion_MM_Walker::start_el() should be compatible with Walker::start_el
If you’re using Suffusion and you just upgraded to WordPress 3.6, you may have to fix something manually. In my case, I’m on Suffusion 4.4.6. I’m sure suffusion will be upgraded soon, and I’ll direct them to this post just as soon as I get it out. If, after upgrading to WordPress 3.6, you see
ezjail-admin: moving a jail between hosts with archive
I’m in the process of moving a system from one server to another. Today, I’m going to try moving a jail using ezjail-admin archive. The two systems I am copying jails between these two systems: source: FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE destination: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p4 I really am interested to see if this works.

sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?
Tonight I created a new jail, and later installed sudo into that jail. Then I tried to run sudo: $ sudo make install clean sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root? What? It is setuid: $ ls -l `which sudo` -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 117112 Jul 26 17:08 /usr/local/bin/sudo I had
