As part of the Jenkins setup, &a.rodrigc; encountered problems - with running Java on &os; 9.2 and &os; 10.0. Both - problems stemmed from changes to the &os; Virtual Memory (VM) - subsystem. On &os; 9.2-RELEASE, running Jenkins under Java - would cause the kernel to panic. This was a known problem, and - fixed in 9.2.-RELEASE-p3. On &os; 10.0-RELEASE, Java processes - would randomly crash. Disabling the - vm.pmap.pcid_enabled sysctl(3) variable seemed - to fix the problem. In kern/187238, Henrik Gulbrandsen - submitted fixes to the &os; VM to address this problem. &a.kib; - committed the fixes to head, where they are being - tested now.

-A vanilla
ZFSguru installation comes with only Samba and
- a web-interface setup, but can be extended easily by installing
- addons called services
to add functionality as desired.
- This prevents users from running programs they do not need and
- do not want. Advanced users can still use ZFSguru as they would
- a normal &os; installation with a 100% ZFS setup
- (Root-on-ZFS
). ZFSguru does not strip away anything, and
- uses a GENERIC-like kernel with only some additional
- settings added like InfiniBand networking, Device Polling and
- AltQ. This means you can use a ZFSguru installation as you
- would use a &os; installation.
In the first month of 2014, ZFSguru has released beta9 version - of the web interface. This release brings vastly improved support - for Samba and NFS configuration. In particular, it adds a - convenient drag-and-drop interface for Samba permissions. This - allows novice users to configure access to shares in various - configurations. It allows both control and usability, with no - manual being necessary in order to operate it. This is the - ZFSguru-style.
