up_the_irons: Webhostbudd: roger that, no problem. more servers left for me to play with... ;) Webhostbudd: =p
i wouldn't mind doing a template install of a freebsd zfs box though
even if i never used it
although the directions are dead simple to follow up_the_irons: Webhostbudd: i keep wanting to do that myself actually... what are the best directions now? i have an old link i think Webhostbudd: pretty simple

that is my favorite one up_the_irons: oh wow, even optimized for 4K drives Webhostbudd: always up_the_irons: now, if you just have a "regular" drive, not 4K optimized, will the 4K alignment have any negative effect, or will it just not matter? Webhostbudd: nope
it just means that the smallest filesize will be in 4k increments
so it could take up a little more space
setting up the zfs volume is tedious, but could easily be scripted up_the_irons: yeah mercutio: up_the_irons: you're meant to align to 1mb now days
up_the_irons: for partitioning. as some ssd's have bigger than 4k, and storage is a lot bigger than it was.
oh that was ages ago :) up_the_irons: mercutio: ah ok. so that is why i see ubuntu 10.04 and debian 6 root fs starting at 1MB instead of 32kB mercutio: yeh up_the_irons: that screwed up my scripts for a bit until i figured it out... ;) mercutio: it's a pita if you delet a partition table and recreate
but if you use the dos compatibility mode you can work around that up_the_irons: yep, i learned that the hard way... ;) mercutio: it took me at least an hour to figure it out i think
after tryin cfdisk, sfdisk etc etc up_the_irons: fortunately, parted, instead of fdisk, makes it pretty easy to work with that mercutio: yeh parted wants to handle resizing on it's own etc though i think
which reminds me i still haven't done anything with the extra space on my vps :) ***: sako has joined #arpnetworks
