― for FreeBSD on slow storage.
Pictured: a 2828-step forced reinstallation of 1534 packages – 568 FreeBSD-base, 966 FreeBSD-ports – with root-on-ZFS, 8 G swap, and less than 1 GB memory.
FreeBSD 15.0-PRERELEASE on AMD64 with KDE Plasma and applications, SDDM, and a few other things from the ports collection.
ZFS is not tuned in any way.

Autobranche: Stellenabbau bei ZFs Antriebssparte

In case you were wondering: no, it is NOT safe to do an unconstrained zfs send of the root filesystem to a vmhgfs-mounted filesystem.

@… if I'm not mistaken, my Kubuntu with root-on-ZFS uses OpenZFS native encryption.
In particular, these two commands, which I ran with 25.10 in live mode (booted from a USB memory stick) as part of a routine to access the encrypted 25.04 system on the internal SSD:
sudo cat /media/kubuntu/keystore-rpool/system.key | sudo zfs load-k…

Although the upgrade from beta1 to beta2 was very smooth, I'm still learning on the availability of certain ports in various stages of beta-ism. Sometimes they are there and sometimes not yet?
But perhaps the whole backbone is changing, so a ports collection needs to be moved over as well.
So, all is there, except for river, wideriver and deluge.When you do a River spin the first two are quite essential 🥳 Patient is the careful adventurer.
Gotta say though that with zfs…

NVMe RAID controllers… I'm skeptical
The selling points here appear to be:
- Each device still has its own channel so you're not trying to hang 4 NVMe off one slot
- The processor on the card can still do the parity
Personally I'm not that interested in parity RAID on NVMe. Either it's mirrors or I'm wanting to use something more advanced like ZFS or Ceph or whatever which pretty much requires JBOD.
Personally I'm more concerned about havin…

Personal virt host fell over in the middle of the night. Took out the ZFS pool for my main vm. Rebuilding from backups. Ugh.

@… myth:
– if something feels wrong, tuning the ZFS ARC will make it right.
