I like to have a single monitoring tool for all my needs: to monitor I/O, interface bandwidth, virtual memory usage, ip statistics and so on.
Fortunately, there is such tool in FreeBSD: systat:
# systat
/0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10
Load Average ||
/0% /10 /20 /30 /40 /50 /60 /70 /80 /90 /100

FreeBSD monitoring tool

I've just read that ZFS v15 was commited to FreeBSD-HEAD with 2 months before MFC to 8-STABLE (http://ivoras.sharanet.org/blog/tree/2010-07-13.all-welcome-zfs-v15-in-freebsd.html). It's really good news: we'll have faster, more stable ZFS version and it will support user quotas (lack of quotas was one of the things that prevented us from deploying it on our file server)... Great thanks to Martin for his work!

Moving data to FreeBSD
Posted on July 7th, 2010 by "alp" from "alp's notes"
Now I decided to move from OpenSolaris to FreeBSD.
Just for now I emulate this procedure in VirtualBox, later I'll do it on real hardware...
1) Installed OpenSolaris 09.06 and updated it to b134, updated zfs pool to version 19, added mirror disk to pool. So, I have configuration identical to my workstation.
2) Splitted pool (used zpool split for

Leaving sinking ship
Posted on July 5th, 2010 by "alp" from "alp's notes"
We could be very optimistic, but bad things really happen. So, after waiting for half a year after Sun end, I decided to migrate my home workstation from OpenSolaris to some other solid OS.
The choice is not evident. Solaris is good in several things:
- It supports commercial soft. And I need Adobe Flash, Oracle DBMS, recent Java version.
