Hello, after many mid-steps and some experiments, I have finished upgrade of ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org for some time now (hopefully :o). Is there anybody running an official FreeBSD mirror, who would like to switch from ftp-master.FreeBSD.org, or any other mirror, to ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org? Location of this server is in Brno, Czech Republic, connected to european academic lines. IPv6 is especially welcomed and I would be happy to add any new IPv6 addresses even for current ftp-master.eu.FreeBSD.org users. Hardware is 2 x Xeon Pentium 4, 3.06 GHz, 5 GB RAM, 3.2 TB RAID-5 UFS (3ware 9550SX-12 RAID controller with 8 disks x 500 GB). ZFS was unfortunately terribly slow, atleast trying raidtest and sequential reads and writes. For interest, I extended 2.7 TB RAID-5 using 7 disks to 3.2 TB RAID-5 using 8 disks almost online, and it seems that it was successful ;o) If there is anybody else, who would like to grow GPT partition and/or >2TB UFS, I fixed patches downloaded somewhere from the net (I'm not their author!) for 8.0-STABLE dated 2010/04/22. Patches could be downloaded from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.cz/pub/FreeBSD-local/gpt-growfs-8.x/patch-gpart.txt ftp://ftp.freebsd.cz/pub/FreeBSD-local/gpt-growfs-8.x/patch-growfs.txt Regards and happy downloading ;o) Btw, if there is anybody from ftpadm team, I have sent a request to ftpadm@FreeBSD.org, if it is possible to get a ssh access for me to ftp-master.FreeBSD.org, and without response. Would it be possible? Thank you. -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic
