Hello Pieter, I guess you are looking for apache's SetEnv directive: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_env.html#setenv (I use apache 2.2.11) 1. I noticed that when I do a # apachectl graceful from within a root shell, then the PATH env. var. for Apache Environment as reported by phpinfo() is equal to the PATH setting of my root user. (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin) Probably when rebooting the machine, PATH will be set to a very limited /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin (where does this come from?) Now I see from reading the apache start-up script /usr/local/sbin/apachectl that one can create a file with instructions to be executed at startup of Apache: any file in /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d is sourced into the start up environment of apache. This directory was empty for the moment. So I could put in there a file, /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d/mysettings PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH # apachectl graceful however this did not change the phpinfo() reported PATH, it remained the same as my root path 2. I also tried, as you suggested # vi /etc/httpd.conf ... SetEnv TEST_ENV_VARfoo-foo SetEnv PATH/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin (the first SetEnv is just to see if it indeed sets Env. vars.) # apachectl graceful The TEST_ENV_VAR foo-foo is reported But again PATH remains the same as my root path. Does this mean when executing # apachectl graceful from within a root shell PATH will ALWAYS be overridden by the value of PATH of the root shell? I don't see what rules of precedence acutally apply ... Anyone can explain me? And will SetEnv in /etc/httpd.conf also work at boot ??? Or will only /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d/mysettings work at boot ?? Or will none of these work at boot ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

freebsd-update questions
Ch 24 updating and upgrading freebsd in the handbook says: The freebsd-update utility can automatically update a GENERIC kernel only. If a custom kernel is in use, it will have to be rebuilt and reinstalled. However, freebsd-update will detect and update the GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC (if it exists) It is a good idea to always keep a copy of the GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC. How is this to be understood? 1. e.g. you have a generic kernel in /boot/kernel and you make a safety copy in /boot/GENERIC # cd /boot/kernel; tar cf - . | (cd /boot/GENERIC; tar xpf -) when running freebsd-update install, will this update BOTH /boot/kernel and /boot/GENERIC or only /boot/kernel ? 2. if you have a modified kernel in /boot/kernel (e.g. for disk quota enabling) and you run freebsd-update install, then it will not make any changes in /boot/kernel. Right ? How does freebsd-update actually detect that there is not a generic kernel in /boot/kernel? If after freebsd-update install, you would do a shutdown -r now (before building a new custom kernel, will this be desastreous? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That's the standard X Windows security stopping other users opening windows
on your screen. In this case, something like:
% xhost +LOCAL:
% su
# {...whatever you need to do to install your app...}
# exit
% xhost -LOCAL:
However be aware of the risks: xhost +LOCAL: means that any other user
of the same machine can access your display and potentially capture any
input including (for instance) the root password.
Hmmm... Actually, a more secure means of doing the same thing, that only
grants access to your display by the local root user would be:
% xauth extract - $DISPLAY ~/authtoken
% su -
# echo $HOME
(This should return /root -- this is important so that the correct
.Xauthority
file gets updated.)
# xauth merge /home/your-uid/authtoken
# rm /home/your-uid/authtoken
# setenv DISPLAY :0.0
# {...whatever you need to do to install your app...}
Now any X programs run by root will open on your display. To revoke this
permission you can simply remove /root/.Xauthority or for finer grained
control you can use
# xauth remove $DISPLAY

Matthew

(A DNS server is active on the network and can succesfully be queried from a FreeBSD bash command (nslookup or host) to see the hostname associated with the IP-address) Hostname is not one of the parameters usually requested from a DHCP server by a Unix machine. In fact, it's normally the other way round: the client tells the DHCP server what it's hostname is and the DHCP server can then inject an A record into the DNS dynamically. So, the normal way is that you have an entry hostname=somename.somedomain in /etc/rc.conf ? I can't remember the details of the install of this FreeBSD7 system, set up as a DHCPclient, but is during the installation the name of the host you want this machine to have and its domainname something that is asked for? (and then recorded in /etc/rc.conf) However it is possible to operate in the way you want. To tell the dhcp server to look up names from the DNS based on the address supplied to a host, search for the description of the 'get-lease-hostnames' flag in the dhcpd.conf(5) man page. To tell dhcp clients to fetch their hostname from DHCP, you need to add it to a 'request' or 'require' block in dhclient.conf -- see dhclient.conf(5). It's been a long time since I ran a setup anything like that, so I cannot recall if that was all that was required, or if it was also necessary to write a small dhclient-script(8) to actually set the hostname. Another alternative is to use a dhclient-script to take the IP number allocated by the DHCP server, look up the corresponding address and then set that as the hostname. The bash HOSTNAME environment variable will be set from the output of the hostname(1) command, which is usually set from the hostname variable in /etc/rc.conf or from the output of '/bin/kenv dhcp.host-name' if that is set. Otherwise it uses a default hostname of 'amnesiac'.

Judging from this, you have a hostname set in /etc/rc.conf on freebsd 7 client
and/or dhcpd isn't configured to send one as it receives one from the client
and perhaps you have dynamic DNS configured?
There is no hostname= declaration in /etc/rc.conf in that FreeBSD7 dhcp client.
My dhcpd.conf contains mostly statically defined addresses (over a 100)
e.g.
host somehostname { hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff; fixed-address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD; }
and one set of 6 dynamically assigned addresses.
We want regular users to always get the same IP address based on the MAC
address of their system, the pool of 6 is for visitors for one or a few
days that we do allow not to register their MAC address.
The freebsd7 client is one of the 100+ statically assigned ones, but
I might have done a try for the dynamic assignment with this PC (by taking
it temporarily out of /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf, restart dhcpd, try,
then put it back in, restart dhcpd.
In fact in /var/db/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf I see I do have an entry
lease AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD {
starts 4 2009/05/07 12:49:13;
ends 4 2009/05/07 13:19:16;
tstp 4 2009/05/07 13:19:16;
binding state free;
hardware ethernet aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff;
uid \001\000\013\333S\025;
}
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD being one of the pool of 6 and the ethernet adddress that
of the freebsd client.
I see that's free'd already (max lease time is 12 hours) and I tried back
with that entry again as a statically defined one. Or does this dhcpd.lease
entry still have an impact ???
The man of dhcpd.leases says In order to prevent the lease database
from growing without bound, the file is rewritten from time to time.
Can one do such a rewrite oneself, how ? would that help?
On the other hand the AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD IP address does have a hostname
specified in the DNS server (somewhere in our campus) (and that DNS
server can be queried from the freebsd client via nslookup or host
command and it returns the correct hostname). So even in dynamic assignment,
shouldn't HOSTNAME been set with that hostname from DNS?
If that's not the case, then you should add some debugging to /sbin/dhclient-
script in the check_hostname function.

imap on freebsd7
I want to access a mailbox on a FreeBSD7 server via IMAP from Outlook 2003. I had a setup for accessing a mailbox on a Solaris server via IMAP from the same Outlook 2003. In the FreeSBD7 system, outcommented in /etc/inetd.conf the line imap4 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd and did # /etc/rc.d/inetd reload Then set up a new mailaccount in Outlook 2003 for this FreeSBD7 mailbox in EXACTLY the same way in the way I did for the Solaris server. From Outlook 2003 I can login to the FreeBSD server with username:password and get connected, but the Inbox shows nothing.. I probably am missing some step here.

UID/GID in anon.ftp directory
I set up an anonymous ftp directory on FreeBSD system and copied (via a tarball) the anon.ftp directory (pub) from our old ftp server to the new FreeBSD server. In the new server users get same loginnames, but UIDs are different from UID at old server, so I manually did the necessary chown -R username:groupname on all the directories and files in the anon. ftp directory.

FreeBSD and UPS

port / portupgrade hangs
Sometimes (not often) when installing ports from the ports collection or upgrading ports (via portupgrade -R) when fetching some needed tar.gz file, the fetch hangs, just like now: = rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. = Attempting to fetch from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/rdiff-backup/. fetch: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz: Moved Temporarily = Attempting to fetch from http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/. rdiff-backup-1.2.6.tar.gz 43% of 191 kB 107 kBps This is now immobile for over an hour ... Up to now when such a hang occured, I just waited and waited and eventually it would continue and finish the job. But, is there a safe way to do a retry? I dare not just do a Ctrl-C and issue # portupgrade -R rdiff-backup again, since I have no no clue what could go wrong if one does that ...

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap update
# portupgrade -R libdrm
this did: Upgrading 'libdrm-2.3.1' to 'libdrm-2.4.5' (graphics/libdrm)
How do I continue now with the master rebuild which was aborted this
night?
Is it OK to just doing the same thing as yesterday:
# cd /usr/ports
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
Or what else?

I had a similar problem. You not gonna love it, but according to

20090216:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delp...@freebsd.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.14, which requires a shared
library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all
ports depending on it. Run something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client

Ports Options
At the first install of a package via the ports collection (cd /usr/ports/../..; make install clean), if the package provides configuration options, you can check these on a menu screen, or accept all the defaults.

portsnap and portupgrade

Yes If so, if you have did create a /usr/ports from sysinstall, then only a portsnap fetch has to be done, and no portsnap extract but only a portsnap update when you need updating a program you installed previously from the ports tree ? Portsnap doesn't know about anything in the ports tree that it didn't put there itself. For that reason it needs to bring the tree to an initial known-state by replacing all port directories and other files. For the same reason you shouldn't mix portsnap and c[v]sup. So, do you confirm my statement that only a portsnap update is OK? But is it then not better to do a portsnap upgrade immmediatly after that first portsnap fetch, since fetch will only get compressed .gz files (not decompressed to /usr/ports), so /usr/ports will still be of the date of the release of the 7.0 (febr. 2008) ? The extract will bring the tree up-to-date with the fetched snapshot. You could use extract instead of update all the time, except that it's slower and deletes user generated files in the ports directories (e.g. README.html). So since it's faster and doesn't delete user generated files, upgrade is always to be preferred over extract, right? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
omshell how to use
To use omshell for changing dhcpd.conf, one needs to use a TSIG key.
Did the following:
# dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 512 -n HOST omapi_key
responded with:
Komapi_key.+157+18443
and created the files:
-rw--- 1 root admin118 Dec 10 15:42 Komapi_key.+157+18443.key
-rw--- 1 root admin156 Dec 10 15:42 Komapi_key.+157+18443.private
# cat Komapi_key.+157+18443.private
Private-key-format: v1.2
Algorithm: 157 (HMAC_MD5)
Key:

Bits: AAA=
# vi /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
and added the statements
key omapi_key {

};
omapi-key omapi_key;
Then I started dhcpd, but it immediatly complains :

What exactly does one have to specify on the 'secret' line ??
The manual for omshell or dnssec-keygen don't have examples...
Please a real life example with all the relevant information ...
The command-line tool you're looking for is omshell. If you want
something different, then you're looking at implementing a wrapper
script or program of your own design.
Never had the need to use omshell, but the following random Google

add/change/delete dhcpd.conf entries
In a DHCP server managing fixed IP addresses, one needs to make changes often: new people need their Mac address given a IP addres, people leaving need to be deleted, people changing an old for a new computer need a Mac address change for the same IP, etc... All this information is recorded in the /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf file. I know, there is the omapi command shell (/usr/local/bin/omshell) but as far as I can see, you can only use it interactively. Or am I wrong? I would love to have a simple command line tool that allows you to make changes to your dhcpd.conf file without needing to use an editor or omapi. e.g. for a new entry, something like: # dhcpdmgr -A 175.134.34.128 -c John.Adams PC -i 00:34:1A:23:4A:0F 175.134.34 which would add IP 175.134.34.128 in subnet 175.134.3 for mac address 00:34:1A:23:4A:0F with a comment John.Adams PC and with other options for delete (-D), make changes to comment, IP or Mac, etc... Does anyone have such a command line tool? With that command line tool one can easily make a wrapper script, presenting you with a menu of frequent operations, and with extensive checking of your input data. I use such a wrapper script, making use of Solaris pntadm (DHCP network table management utility) command line tool. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
newinstall and GPT
If one would use GPT (GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) Partition Table right from the start of an installation of a new system, how must one proceed ? During install from a DVD, first you are asked to do a DOS-style (fdisk) partitioning (slice making in FreeBSD parlance), which would be responded with A=Use Entire Disk. What if you have, say 8 TB disk space (in RAID6, presenting itself as a single unused space), will fdisk be able to deal with that ? Has fdisk a limit as to the number of sectors (2^31- 1 = 2TB) ? If fdisk can't deal with that, what then ??? Bsdlabel, the next tool coming up after fdisk, uses 32-bit integers can't be used for 8 TB available space. Then GPT would have to be used (uses 64-bit integers). How to proceed ? Should your first during initial go for bsdlabel, and only use maximum 2TB, continue with the rest of the install and then, after install, use GPT to change the FreeBSD existing partitions?

(no subject)
If one has a system with 7 500Gb SATA disks in a hardware RAID6 (Areca Raid Controller), then (according to mail J.Chadwick 7 Nov 2008) they will show up as da (following naming convention for scsi disks although they are not). RAID6 will allow about 2,5 Tb for the 'user' (roughly 1 Tb will be consumed by the parity information of RAID6). How will this 2,5 Tb space present itself at the time of initial install of FreeBSD? Will this be a single 'disk' ad0 ? .. correct or not (then what)? If FreeBSD is to put on the system as only operating system (Fdisk: A = Use Entire disk), then will the BSD-partitions will show up as ad0a (/), ad0b (swap), ad0d (/var) etc... correct or not (then what)? Page 427 of the FreeBSD handbook states that due to the use of 32-bit integers to store the number of sectors is limited to 2^32 -1 sectors/disk = 2 TB. A layout could be a / 1Gb, b swap, d /root 20 Gb, (a /root partition is from an example of someone who claims that at boot FreeBSD checks the partions in background except for the / partition, by keeping / as small as possible, the time to boot can be mimimized .. correct? but will /root ever be something big ??) e /tmp 20 Gb, f /var 20 Gb, g /usr 20 Gb this leaves 2420 Gb which is more than 2 Tb, so you can't put all that in 1 filesystem h /home, you will need to split that in 2 BSD-paritions, but since you can't have more that 8 BSD-partitions (highest BSD-partition letter is h), you need to give up at least one of d, e, f, g. ... correct or not (then what)?

No no, / refers to the root partition. One way of setting up partitions is just to have one partition (one root parttion) and put everything on it, including /tmp, /var, /usr and /home. I know / is the root partition, but /root is the home-directory of the user root (/etc/passwd: root:*:0:0:Charlie :/root:/bin/csh). I doubt this will ever be needed to be large? If its not large fsck neither will spend much time in it. So I guess it's just safe not to make this a separate BSD-partiton ? Another philosophy is to create partitions designated to their further use, just as I mentioned it above. Yes, but it's hard to find out what is best...

In KDE menu / Settings / peripherals / Display / the only choice for Screen Size remains 1024x768 without alternatives (as before) ... How to remedy? I'd suggest to do something similar like with the keyboard: Put it explicitely into xorg.conf; I mean, autodetect is all fine, but in some cases, just crap comes out. :-) I had a similar problem here: X would only run 1024x768 or 1152x864, but not 1400x1050 as I would have liked it on a 21 CRT. So I did this: First, modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 Monitor Monitor0 Option Accel DefaultDepth24 SubSection Display Depth 24 Visual TrueColor Modes 1152x864 EndSubSection EndSection This starts X in 1152x864. You'll see that there's not the usual bunch of depths and modes, just the one I want. Then, I put this into ~/.xinitrc: xrandr --size 1400x1050 xrandr --fb 1400x1050 Put it before any other program starts, and it leads to the desired screen dimension of 1400x1050. I'm sure you can play a bit with xrandr from within KDE in order to adjust the screen dimensions, and when you found it working, put it into your ~/.xinitrc so it will take effect after login. But NB that xdm / kdm won't be affected - it will run as xorg.conf specifies. You can check with xrandr's information options (refer to man xrandr) and xvidtune. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD and USBmemorystick
I installed (pkg_ad -r) desktopbsd-tools following instructions from http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:desktopbsd_tools_in_freebsd I did: # chgrp wheel /dev/da0 # chmod g+w /dev/da0s1 (I believe USB key is /dev/da0) # chgrp wheel /dev/ad0 # chmod g+w /dev/ad0s1 (anyway, did that too) # sysctl vfs.usermount=1 # chmod 1775 /media # ls -la / | grep media drwxrwxr-t root wheel /media # sysctl vfs.usermount=1 started $ /usr/local/bin/dbsd-traymounter inserted an USB memory key In Konqueror still nothing to see in /media what's wrong??

On the same laptop in the SuSE 10.1 partition, the same USB stick appears in Konqueror under Storage Media and is ready to use) In FreeBSD, Konqueror shows nothing under Storage Media. Is this normal? This requires HAL-support with KDE and the KDE MEdia Manager enabled in the system services. It's fragile to get working and often requires extensive knowledge of HAL, dbus and policykit. This is where PC-BSD can be seen as SuSE for linux, as it has configured all these things to work out of the box, that normally a FreeBSD system administrator would set up. Alternatively, one can use the desktopbsd-tools from the ports to add some GUI system tray apps, among which a removable media manager. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
root /etc/csh
FreeBSD 7.0 comes with the user root with start up shell /bin/csh As normal user I use bash (/usr/local/bin/bash installed) I would prefer to have bash also when working as root (su). Of course I can do # bash [root ~]# or I could change the startup shell in /etc/passwd, but would that be a wise thing to do or not? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
non-US keyboard and KDM
I installed KDE and the KDM display manager in FreeBSD. On my portable I have a non-US keyboard (a european country layout), in KDE I can set it to the appropriate keyboard layout. KDM login window is still in US qwerty keyboard, which makes me have to enter my password with different keystrokes :-) How to set an appropriate keyboard in KDM? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD network ISP provider
I installed FreeBSD 7.0 already on a system at my office (from CDs) and set up internet connection while installing using the office LAN (and its DHCP service). I installed FreeBSD also on my laptop at home (with no network connection). (with X windows; startx gives me twm ..) I want to install KDE3 from /usr/ports/x11/kde3 Tried as described: # cd /usr:ports/x11:kde3; make install clean I had hoped everything necessary would be found in the disk. But not: It returns errors because it tried to fetch packages from ftp sites ... an soon stops.. So I still need Internet connection? At home, I have an Internet connection via a Broadband Modem and an account at an Internet Service Provider. This was set up in WindowsXP succesfully (with IP 10.0.0.something, netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway, 2 DNS server IP addresses provided by the ISP). When making the connection to my ISP I have to enter my username at the ISP provider ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and my password) But how do I set up that in FreeBSD ?? In the Post-installation section during Setup, at the question 'Would you like to configure any Ethernet or SLIP/PPP network devides?) answering Yes shows the correct on-board netwerk interface (Broadcom BCM570xx PCI Gigabit ethernet card) I tried DHCP, but no success (which was to expect) Then I get the screen to fill in Host, Domain, Gateway, Name server IPv4 address, netmask ... What do I have to enter (Name server, netmask I can guess) for IP?, host?, domain? and where will come in my username/password for my ISP connection Thanks for hints. Is there any document describing such a connection? pieter ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RAID5 or RAID6 (sorry, typing error) If you want to extend your disk space by plugging in an extra disk, the hardware RAID controller will probably detect it and add it in his management, but will it be seen by FreeBSD? FreeBSD will see larger drive. With what command can you see that FreeBSD had 'seen' it ? Or is the the bsdlabel command? Is bsdlabel a partition management program (such as GParted, Partition Magic)? you then have to fix partition table (use bsdlabel -e) fix c partition to be actually sized of whole drive, and then a) add new partition(s) for new space b) extend the size of last partition and use growfs I guess here you mean 2 alternatives: a) using the new space for new partition(s) leaving the existing as they are or b) create no new partitions but extend the last partition to include the new space, by using the growfs command ? How can you make the added disk-space available for FreeBSD. Can this be done without shutting down the system? How?? i don't think FreeBSD can be told to reget device info from controller when partitions of that device are mounted. but i may be wrong Hmm, man growfs says: Currently growfs CAN ONLY ENLARGE UNMOUNTED FILE SYSTEMS. DO NOT TRY ENLARGING A MOUNTED FILE SYSTEM, YOUR SYSTEM WILL PANIC AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE FILE SYSTEM ANY LONGER. If your FreeDSB only has swap and a / file system (with all users inside /usr/home) or you set up FreeBSD with a swap, /, /var and /usr filesystems (with users in /usr/home) and you want to grow a file system (e.g. /usr to give the extra space to users) (scenario b)) then, I guess, you will need to go into single-user mode and boot from CD with a FreeBSD in RAM to be able extend the (unmounted) file system /usr Can scenario a) (making new file system for new space) be done in multi-user mode, or only in single-user mode, will it need a reboot ?? Is there any document (besides the manual pages bsdlabel, growfs, ..) that describes step-by-step what to do to grow an existing file system of to add a new file system on newly added disk space ?

raid tool ZFS RAID-Z2 (RAID6)
raidz is available for Freebsd through the file system format ZFS and is similar to RAID-5. Is that in FreeBSD 7.0 Production release? But there is also RAID-Z2 which uses two forms of parity to achieve results similar to RAID6: the ability to sustain up to two drive failures without losing data..
