OS X Lion time machine => (afpd|iSCSI) => ZFS question

2011-07-21 Thread Bakul Shah
I am in no hurry to upgrade my MBP to OS X Lion but given Lion time machine and netatalk issues, I got wondering if iSCSI on FreeBSD is stable enough for time machine use. How much duct tape and baling wire are needed to make it work?! Thanks. ___ freebs

FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4-amd64 boot problem under qemu

2007-12-10 Thread Bakul Shah
The amd64 version of -BETA4 doesn't completely boot under qemu-system-x86_64 -- it hangs while trying to mound md0 as root. The i386 version of -BETA4 does work under qemu-system-x86_64. Note that if you want to try this, use the -no-kqemu switch as kqemu with the 64 bit qemu crashes the system.
