zfs send on FreeBSD over ssh using mbuffer

2 Comments / FreeBSD, ZFS / By /

I have two ZFS servers which have several TB of space. One of the great ZFS features is the ability to send one filesystem to another filesystem, on the current or another server. I will do this over ssh. One of my servers has a lot of spare space, so I figure I will duplicate my backups there. The source This server contains a Bacula Storage Daemon with access to about 27TB, with

Here is a list of the jails on the two main hosts I use at home: knew I used to have a host called kraken. I created a server server, kraken-new, or knew. knew performs many tasks: runs Bacula regressions tests against various database versions hosts the backups for my Bacula server runs my home mail server on a daily basis, performs a restore of each database backup into a database to make

Installing packages from a custom FreeBSD repository

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, pkgng, poudriere / By /

One of the great things about FreeBSD is the poudriere tool. With it, you can create your own set of customized packages for installation on your server. Today, I will be installing packages in a FreeBSD 9.2 jail. Although I am installing in a jail, the same steps apply to any FreeBSD 9.2 host. In this post, I will cover how to deliver the packages produced by poudriere. I have already written about

Using poudriere to create a custom FreeBSD repository for package installation

1 Comment / ezjail, FreeBSD, Jails, pkgng, poudriere / By /

I just showed you how I installed ezjail 3.3 on FreeBSD 9.2 and how it uses ZFS for each jail. Today I’m writing about using poudriere to create custom packages for use by pkng. In this post, I will be creating packages on a FreeBSD 9.2 server. Those packages are for running Bacula on FreeBSD 9.2. To accomplish this, we will need: A list of ports to install for running Bacula. In poudriere

Backup speed

Leave a Comment / Backups / By /

It’s little things like this which improve the copying of backups to tape. Speed. Each of those Volumes are 5GB in size. The tape drive takes about about 2-4 minutes per 5GB to write it to tape. Between the end of IncrAuto-4150 and the end of IncrAuto-1455, the tape drive wrote 20GB in about 9 minutes. That’s roughly 2GB/minute or about 37MB/s.

Using the Compaq Storage Works MSL5026 Library

Leave a Comment / Backups, Bacula, FreeBSD, Open Source / By /

I am fortunate to receive donations. In the early days, it was a 386 desktop. Later, it was SCSI drives. Recently, it’s been tape libraries. A Bacula user in Europe donated an Overland DLT-8000 tape library in 2012 and paid for shipping to me. At BSDCan 2013, I was fortunate to pick up an Compaq StorageWorks MSL5026 SDLT tape library and it has sat unused. It’s dead Jim A few weeks back, the

Accessing FreeBSD Jails over OpenVPN

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Jails, OpenVPN / By /

With this new server, I am taking a new approach. Each jail will have at least three IP addresses: The public IP4 address, used by internet facing services (e.g. http or https) The public IPv6 address, similar to the above A VPN address, used for system administration and private services (e.g. nrpe) In this article, I will assume you are familiar with ezjail, FreeBSD jails, basic networking, OpenVPN, and ZFS. That is, this

Ansible versus Salt

3 Comments / ansible, FreeBSD, Open Source, salt / By /

Over the past few weeks, I worked with two different configuration tools: Salt and Ansible. I started working with Salt. I quickly created a setup for a Salt server and for a Salt minion. The modules I saw looked great. However, I had consistently had trouble converting from the documentation to a practical usage. The examples provided always seemed to be CLI. Taking that and converting it to a SLS file caused me

Routing with jails

Leave a Comment / ezjail, FreeBSD, Jails, Networks / By /

Tonight I asked a question in the OpenVPN IRC channel on FreeNode. me: I’m getting ready to set up a new server, running an OpenVPN client. It will be running several virtual machines (FreeBSD Jails). Each VM will have both a public IP address and a non-routable IP address. I’m hoping to access all those VMs from within the VPN. Am I making sense with my objective here? reply: “clientlan” is (#1) for
