FreeBSD-specific stuff that's required: - smb.ko must be loaded (either via kldload or via "device smb" in your kernel configuration) - System must be running RELENG_6 or RELENG_7. I'm willing to try CURRENT as well, but have only been testing on 6/7 so far. - Must be i386 or amd64. - You must have root access to the box, obviously. :-) Details I need from you: - Exact server or motherboard model; please don't guess! - Output from "kenv | grep smbios" - Output from your BIOS's "Hardware Monitoring" screen. A photo of the screen is fine, but even better would be if you have Serial Redirection enabled in the BIOS so you can remotely manage BIOS settings. This will, of course, require a system reboot. The process works like this: Once I get the above data, I'll get in contact with Supermicro to obtain necessary technical documentation, which can take a couple of weeks. They're forthcoming with details, but slow to provide it. I wish I had some real engineering contacts over there... I'll then write the necessary code, and send you a tarball as a MIME attachment. You'll need to run "make", and run the compiled binary. Naturally I'll need need the output. :-) They should also be compared to that of what the BIOS reports (there may be some variance, especially in regards to temperatures; this is normal). Other odds-and-ends: The program at this stage is alpha. I still have much to do, such as adding decent comments to the code, writing proper READMEs and code details for those who want to help, a manpage, etc... The code is not as well-written as I'd like, but it's not a bunch of hackery either. I treat compiler warnings *very* seriously, for example. That said -- I haven't had a single incident of this program causing a kernel panic or resulting in odd system behaviour. I've had one other user testing it so far, and he hasn't reported anything either. I've been testing the code on both our development and production boxes with no issues. Feature requests are highly encouraged, but but my main focus right now is getting good hardware support. And yes, there are a couple of Intel and Tyan boards listed on the site, but right now I'm focusing predominantly on Supermicro hardware.

You should take a look at the commands dump and restore (for UFS)- or zfs send/ receive for ZFS. Howto use: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/backup-basics.html It is a little bit problematic with HW-Raid. You have to setup HW-Raid on the destination machine and clone to this raidset.

If so, install a second controller in your working box, attach 4 hard drives to it, configure the RAID 5, boot up, use 'dump' to do a level 0 dump of the working filesystem to the new drives, take the drives and controller out, and put it in the new system. Boot up the new system and it should be the same as the other one! If you can't put two LSI 1068 controllers in one box this probably will not work. In this case, you may be able to boot the second box from a live CD, and set up netcat or something to stream a dump from the working box over to the hard drives on the second box via the network. -Mark C.
