Hello, I run FreeBSD 4-STABLE (Sun Feb 10 14:58:04 CET 2002) since that date with NULLFS, from which I do an average of 500-600 GB daily traffic (FTP site, with the built in FTP daemon). Previously I have had problems with this setup, because I had to remove the sendfile() support from all of the running daemons (or else I got corrupt files), which use NULLFS as the spool and after this when the server had busier days than the others, I got random reboots. Now, after one month I can say, that NULLFS is much more usable and stable than before. I got no reboots and it works with sendfile() too. I did about 18 TB traffic from those directories without any problems in the previous month. The only thing, which seems to be changed that the NULLFS mount isn't recursive anymore. If I have: /stuff /stuff/.1 /stuff/.2 ... (.* are directories, each one there is another partition mounted in) and I mount /stuff to somewhere else with mount_null, I see only /stuff, and empty .* directories. So I have to do: mount_null /stuff /other_dir/stuff mount_null /stuff/.1 /other_dir/stuff/.1, etc. BTW, this is only a minor issue. Congratulations to anyone, who did this work! --------[ Free Software ISOs - ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/ ]------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415 (194) cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
