Three simple questions: - Is there driver support for the Intel Wireless 4965? Including WPA support? - Is there something like hdparm, so that I can disable a today's laptop's drive's annoying power management? - How stable is ZFS in 7.0? Actually, I'd like Solaris on my laptop, but the inability to control a drive's power management, which is slowly killing my drive, I guess I have to resort to the next best cousin (though I'm running Ubuntu on it for now, since yesterday). I guess NVidia still doesn't do x64 drivers, either, huh?

That lovely Philips router of mine doesn't do WPA2, so I wouldn't be helped, anyway.

^^^ Thanks.whetu posted:Apparently FBSD ZFS is equivilent to Solaris ZFS v2, whereas Solaris ZFS is up to v7. However, FBSD ZFS has been said by many early adopters to be definately production quality - and now that there's a solid foundation, porting extra features across from Solaris and building on it will be a lot faster. By 7.1 I expect a lot of catching up will be done, maybe by 7.2 FBSD will be doing the innovating... I'm still running build 76 (like almost half a year old). Here's my pool features: code:

HTT is hyperthreading? Might be that. The scheduler is probably assuming four discrete CPUs.

More like the other way around. You slice regular partitions. At least I think.

Is there a reason why there's still no 64bit NVidia driver?

How well does the Linuxulator work in FreeBSD 8/CURRENT? For getting things like Google Earth to work. And how up-to-date are the ports?

Since this is the obscure *nix thread and there's apparent code sharing between BSD and illumos, I was wondering, what's the deal on illumos these days? I'm suffering from OS-dysphoria again and was looking around. Doesn't seem like the build number of the kernel was bumped that much, but ostensibly there's been tons of changes. Did it improve much over the last OpenSolaris release?

Anyone here has practical experience in running a virtual ZFS fileserver with FreeBSD? How stable is it and how are the transfer speeds over the virtual network adapter (using SMB I guess)? I'm interested in doing something like that. The platform of choice will be likely Hyper-V, since it's built into my host OS (Windows 8). Interestingly, there's a patchset to add Hyper-V support to FreeBSD.

Yeah, I guess that figures. I stumbled into freebsd-virtualization, and the guys responsible for the drivers wanted clarification just last week about some things before moving their stuff into -CURRENT. I guess I'll be holding that project off a while longer (VMware would be an option, but I'd like the virtual server to start at boot before the login screen).

Well, gently caress me. A quick test under Hyper-V got me a sustained network peak of around 30MB/s over the emulated network adapter using samba36. I was expecting way worse. I wonder how it'll perform once the Hyper-V drivers are in the kernel.

When I suspend my computer, e.g. over night, the FreeBSD VM of mine gets frozen. When I wake it up, FreeBSD continues counting time from when it was frozen. ntpd then gets a poo poo fit because the clock usually drifted more than 1000 seconds. I've put ntpd_flags="-g" in rc.conf, but the -g flag does really only seem to work when I run ntpd manually. Any idea how to make this work the proper way (i.e. not a cron job, ironically)?

When suspending the host, HyperV stops scheduling the VMs. They aren't even aware about it. --edit: natd works fine! Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Feb 7, 2013 |

Hrm, UFS2 sure seems to be some sensible snowflake. I've had a test VM running here for two weeks in a row, essentially just serving files on a ZFS pool. The system itself is on an UFS2 partition, and apart from writes to logs, there probably shouldn't have been anything much in IO these two weeks. I had to reset my box earlier because a session of 3dsmax went haywire and sent my system swapping like gently caress. The UFS2 partition is pretty much FUBAR. What could have caused this? Files that have been created and last accessed these same two weeks ago are broken. --edit: After forcing fsck over it, it'S completely hosed. I hope ZFS root will prove more stable to unexpected reboots/power outages. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Feb 24, 2013 |

The hypervisor is Hyper-V. The disk devices are all emulated. At this point, I believe the dynamically expanding VHDX file took a poo poo on all of it.

The "important" files are on a ZFS pool, and that one survived everything just peachy, despite magnitudes more IO than on the UFS2 partition. It was only the OS that got fubared. As far as flushing and write barriers go, files that were last touched a fortnight ago were affected, too (like the ports I've compiled, pretty much most files corrupted). I'd assume that they and their metadata would have hit the disk by the time the failure happened. Now that it is mentioned that FreeBSD doesn't like expanding VHDXs, I guess it makes sense to assume that failure happened there either way, the metadata about block layout getting corrupted. I'm rerunning the setup with a fixed size VHDX and a ZFS rool pool. We'll see how that goes. It's only a test setup right now, to find out about issues like these. (As far as the swapping goes, 3dsmax going crazy and allocating a lot more than the 10-12 gigabytes of free remaining memory was kind of completely unexpected. Actually in the case of buggy piece of crap 3dsmax, this should be expected.)
