Re: Is ZFS production ready?
On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 4:44 PM, Wojciech Puchar woj...@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl wrote: One interesting feature of ZFS if it's block checksum: all reads and writes include block checksum, so it can easily detect situations where, for example, data is quietly corrupted by RAM. you may be shocked but you are sometimes wrong. i already demostrated it and checksumming doesn't get any errors, and do write wrong data with right checksums :) it's quite easy to explain if one understand hardware details. Checksumming will protect you from - failed SATA/SAS port, on-disk controller that returns bad data as good. This is actually really rare case. i never seen that, but maybe it happens. - some types of DRAM failure - but not all. Actually just a small fraction because DRAM failure like that would bring your system to crash so quickly that you are unlikely to get big data corruption. Common case with DRAM memory is that after you write to it, keeps right data some time and RARELY flips some bit later in spite of refresh. With this type you may run your machine for hours, even days or longer. And ZFS would calculate proper checksum of wrong data and will write it to disk. This is the reason i keep few failed DIMMs - for testing how different software behaves on broken machine. UFS resulted in few corrupted files after half a day of heavy work and 4 crashes. fsck always recovered things well (of course unexpected softupdate inconsistency) ZFS survived 2 crashes. After third it panicked on startup. Of course - no zfs_fsck. And no possibility of making really good zfs_fsck because of data layout, at least not easy. This feature is very important for databases. is data integrity not important for the rest? :) Still - disks itself perform quite heavy ECC and both SATA and SAS ports. While I don't dispute you're test's findings I would like to point out that you are SPECIFICALLY testing for something that the original designers of ZFS (SUN now Oracle) point out VERY clearly as being an issue that you should avoid in you're deployed environments. The filesystem is designed to protect the ON DISK data and being a highly memory intensive filesystem should ALWAYS be deployed on hardware with memory error correction build in (aka ECC RAM deployed across multiple banks). The filesystem comes from an hardware/OS environment that is HEAVILY BIASED towards self healing as they put it and as a result things like memory module issues would: 1) Either be corrected by the ECC modules 2) Be reported to the administrator of said system as soon as they occur (well on a system where you have such reporting setup correctly) As a result you're argument is mootwhilst you're findings are indeed still valid. UFS2 being MUCH lighter on RAM requirements is, well frankly, quite possibly not even interacting with the damaged sections of the memory modules in you're test and I am almost certain that if we were to ask around on this mailing list enough examples of UFS/UFS2 corruption due to faulty RAM are VERY VERY likely to come up. No filesystem (or other code for that matter) would be able to detect RAM content corruption (as this is NOT a filesystem's job) and correct it for you as frankly the kernel wouldn't know if the data in the buffers is correct or not without the application storing said data being coded to check for these conditions (I know of a patch to the Linux kernel that does indeed look for faulty RAM segments and works around them but I am *mostly*positive that no general purpose OS in current deployment does so as I have noticed that this behavior was VERY CPU intensive). Also (debate encouraged here) due to the COW nature of ZFS a zfs_fsck command is basically entirely unnecessary as 1) The last successfully completed write to the file will be intact and 2) Scrubbing the on disk content performs a much better filesystem maintenance than an fsck does and this can also be done online without impacting uptimes of you're systems/data availability. On my systems I specifically trigger a scrub (via the ZFS init script) whenever my systems are uncleanly shut down as I am willing to tolerate a slightly slower but available system in such conditions. While UFS2 is indeed an wonderfully reliable filesystem it (as with all things) is not suited to all tasks, there are many instances where I can see the features of ZFS far outweighing the detractions (as do I see the same for the converse state of affairs). While all the above is purely based on my understanding of ZFS (and I am one of the people working on a port to GNU/Linux - admittedly not directly but I spend a LOT of my time reading/cleaning up the code fork that I do use) and SUN's (now Oracle's) design/deployment documents,...it is still my opinion and I would encourage a debate on these opinions. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list
Re: freebsd server limits question

Re: OT: dead box
The easiest way to check if its the power switch is detach the PWR switch connector from the mobo and briefly short the two pins. If the machine turns on its ure switch, however that is probably unlikely - Ive never seen it before at least. Check ure mobo for popped caps,... remove ure ram and cpu and clean all relevant connectors with compressed air. Disconnect everything not needed for the mobo to power up while ure at it.

Re: Training Courses.
I would suggest contacting various IT training facilities in you're area and inquiring there. Unfortunately FreeBSD isn't a corporation like Microsoft so certified training facilities don't exist. However the FreeBSD Handbook is a VERY good example of how a manual should look: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Generally though a good foundation course on you're choice of proprietary UNIX platform along with the FreeBSD handbook would probably do what you're looking for.

Netgraph VLan support
Hi there all
I've trying to setup nested VLans using netgraph and most of my
googling suggests that this can be done.

Re: MT4
As a general rule of thumb you can't run software designed for a proprietary
operating system on another operating system.
The proprietary vendor's tend to make sure developers only develop only
for their platform, or as few other platforms as possible. Through the use
of highly platform integrated development tools IE: MS-Visual
{C,C++,C#,Basic,etc etc.}.
You *COULD *theoretically run some Windows software on the Win32 emulator
Wine,... BUT its pretty hit and miss.
While some games run flawlessly, more complex things like business
software with DB backends (Usually MS-SQL :( here in South Africa) are just
not worth trying to get onto another platform.

Please see above commentary,... you will not end up with Leopard you will land up with a Leopard-like Darwin. I do not think this is ilegal, and I am not playing warez. Perfectly legal so long as you're not hacking/compiling a cracked/stolent Aqua user interface onto you're Darwin.

Would save you a LOT of work. I needed it because my clients needs internet and with it a good imfamious flash player... that, in FreeBSD is not available with the stability I have on solaris... in fact, it is much more stable than the linux version besides the virtual (virtualbox, xen, zones) is far more stable on solaris there are places (in the corporate world...) that the SUN brand counts... and counts a lot... None of this makes ANY sense,... I use many different Unices professionally and see no real stability differences with Flash (maybe I just set it up differently???) As for the virtualization VirtualBox and Xen are cross platform so I don't know where you're going there? Solaris Zones are cool, but essentially replacable with BSD jails of Linux virtual servers (not virtualized servers mind). I think also that a person jump from the microsoft cage to the apple cage he still is in the cage... Users, nowadays (even the naive ones) soon realize that they need freedom.

Re: TCP congestion avoidance
Hi there Chuck Many thanks for you're reply that does indeed help! Two questions though, Where can I find more documentation on these types of settings in FreeBSD and How can I choose between more than just TCP_NewReno, specifically I will be making use of TCP_Westwood / TCP_Westwood+ and TCP_Illinois ??? Also a purely optional nicety would be does anyone know of a ported version of Compound_TCP to FreeBSD? Yes I know its a MS designed algorythm but Windows Vista+ use it by default and it would be nice to speak their congestion algorythm natively. Sorry for all the questions. But I kinda need to make a reccomendation to the client as to viability of the project. Many thanks! PS: Should I get the contract,... does FreeBSD have a hardware requests page?
