News
FreeBSD for High Density Servers
In this session we will talk about how to install FreeBSD to
MicroModularServer and how to manage and control those servers. To
install FreeBSD to High Density Servers including NEC MicroModularServer
or HP Moonshot, you need another skill compared to install to common
PCs and rack mount servers. This kind of servers (low energy
consumption, low computing power and high space efficient) are good for
too many edge servers/web servers at limited rack space, for example, as
an alternative system for Blade servers or many cores servers like Sun
Fire T1000/T2000.
The NetBSD Core Team
After a number of years on the NetBSD core team, Alan Barrett (apb@)
has decided to step down for personal reasons. I'm sure we'd all like
to thank Alan for his contributions, including some late night
meetings for him, due to the geographical locations of all the core
team members. Thanks, Alan!
Please join me in welcoming Martin Husemann (martin@) to the core
team. Martin is a long-time NetBSD developer who has played his part
on the NetBSD Foundation board of directors, but now brings his
considerable skills to the core team, the technical management for the
project; helping us define where we want to take NetBSD over the next
2 years and beyond. His background in portmastering the mac68k and
sparc64 ports, as well as his participation in the release engineering
team, means that he is well-placed to help us with this.
The current core team now looks like:
Alistair Crooks (agc@)
Christos Zoulas (christos@)
Chuck Silvers (chs@)
Martin Husemann (martin@)
Matt Green (mrg@)
Matt Thomas (matt@)
Yamamoto Takashi (yamt@)
Congratulations, Martin!
With best wishes,
Alistair Crooks
The
FreeBSD and ZFS
ZFS has been making headlines lately, so it seems
like the right time to talk about the longstanding relationship between
FreeBSD and ZFS.
For
nearly seven years, FreeBSD has included a production quality ZFS
implementation, making it one of the key features of the FreeBSD
operating system. ZFS is a combined file system and volume manager.
Decoupling physical media from logical volumes allows free space to be
efficiently shared between all of the file systems. ZFS introduced
unprecedented data integrity and reliability guarantees to storage on
FreeBSD. ZFS supports varying levels of redundancy for tolerance of
hardware failures and includes cryptographic checksums on all data to
guard against corruption.
Allan
Jude, VP of Operations at ScaleEngine and coauthor of FreeBSD Mastery:
ZFS, said “We started using ZFS in 2011 because we needed to safely
store a huge quantity of video for our customers. FreeBSD was, and still
is, the best platform for deploying ZFS in production. We now store
more than a petabyte of video using ZFS, and use ZFS Boot Environments
on all of our servers.”
So
why does FreeBSD include ZFS and contribute to its continued
development? FreeBSD community members understand the need for continued
development work as technologies evolve. OpenZFS is the truly open
source successor to the ZFS project and the FreeBSD Project has
participated in OpenZFS since its founding in 2013. FreeBSD developers
and those from Delphix, Nexenta, Joyent, the ZFS on Linux project, and
the Illumos project work together to continue improving OpenZFS.
FreeBSD’s
unique open source infrastructure, copyfree license, and engaged
community support the integration of a variety of free software
components, including OpenZFS. FreeBSD makes an excellent operating
system for servers and end users, and it provides a foundation for many
open source projects and commercial products.
We're happy that ZFS is available in FreeBSD as a fully integrated, first class file system and wish to thank all of those who have contributed to it over the years.
DragonFly default shells and library changes
I see this bite people irregularly over the years: if your
default shell on login can’t run, what do you do? I’ve seen it happen
because of a missing /usr/lib, and it can happen with out-of-date library references, too. There’s several different ways to deal with it:
- Run a shell that can’t have this problem, like /bin/tcsh (the root default).
- Or, rebuild in single-user mode from the console.
- Or, perform the bullet-proof upgrade.
Linux Emulation goes to the great bitbucket of the sky
It's been a long time coming, but Linux Emulation is going away.
naddy@ also sent in a patch that fully removes COMPAT_LINUX from the tree, which is expected to land soon.

Store all the Things | BSD Now 130
Allan is back from the Storage Summit in Silicon Valley! We are
going to get his thoughts on how the conference went, plus bring you the
latest ZFS info discussed. That plus the usual BSD news is headed your
way right now!
