ZFS over RAID6
hi, having made a considerable amount of pre-research am now asking your mind about my goal. enviroment : a FreeBSD (ranging from 6.x to 8.1) web-farm (a couple of links and a dozen of devices/servers) goal : share (in R/W) some dirs between various hosts via NFS; such dirs must be in something that is error-proof. considerations : at lower level feel RAID6 meet my requirements (i love something that can face a double hw fault) while at upper level ZFS looks very nice so am looking for such a combination. status : as now had found some ADPTEC, ARECA and 3WARE adapters that look reasonable but controller is not all; i need also 8 (+ 2 spare) HDs and a case where to keep them. so had extended research to 8HD cases with RAID6 capabilities. again a few manufacturer seem to have suitable boxes as **MGBurly8VRe ( http://www.burlystorage.com/ccp0-prodshow/MGBurly8VRe.html ) and ARC-5040 ( http://www.areca.com.tw/products/esatafirewire800iscsiaoeusb.htm ) questions : a) do you feel that combination NFS over ZFS over RAID6 a good choice or just a complicated exercise leading nowhere? b) do you feel suitable the listed hw ? [ one | both | none ] c) do you know something better that lead to an overall expense not bigger than 2.5 K euro? (had seen some ADAPTEC over 4K euro that seem nice but expensive for a test) thank you Alessandro ___ 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

Hi, almost all of you remark how FreeBSD is more-secure-than-others-OS, will add nothing to varius comments. but i look in syslogs of some FreeBSD internet server and there is a great evidence that some botnets are (again) tryng simple combination of uid/pwd. starting from Dec 8 01:00:34 (CET) hundreds of zombies are looking for a valid username. it mean that most of the matter is our; the FreeBSD users. we are the only ones that will (or will not) patch the systems; i love the FreeBSD security while it is MOSTLY based on KNOWLEDGE of users than on a PERFECT code. cheers Alessandro -- If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened.

IPv6-only host and portupgrade
Hi, have done a best effort to avoid useless question, am posting after various faq-research and tests. having an IPv6-ONLY (FreeBSD 7.0) host that needs to perform a portsnap fetch there is NO LIST of portsnap-IPv6-capable servers. maybe they don't exists or i am too blind to find them; is there anybody that can post hostnames or links to souch kind of servers? obviously i can workaround using an IPv4--IPv6 intermediate-host, but the goal is a pure IPv6 FreeBSD farm. regards Alessandro ___ 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
