见了一群湾区的committer
今天M. Warner Losh (imp@,core)路过湾区,于是Cisco的Randall Stewart(rrs@)就发信说要来个湾区committer小聚,地点离我住的地方不远,于是就去了。

前一阵子一直无法在 FreeBSD/amd64 上面利用 engimail-thunderbird 来进行 PGP 签名。简单说来,一开始是注册控件的时候 signal 11,留下怪怪的backtrace,到后来索性没反应了。
发信到 engimail 的邮件列表,结果他们也觉得很奇怪。
3年前 FreeBSDChina.org 在上海的年会上,我们讨论了使用 wiki 来进行翻译组织的可能性,不过一直都没有实现。前天终于架了一个实验性的系统,无论如何,better late than never。
With several production environment installations, I am now very confident with RELENG_7’s stability and performance. After some discussion with alu@ we have reached the consensus that we should upgrade the system to RELENG_7.
Previously, www.FreeBSDChina.org runs a version used to call as “delphijfork”, which adds several stability improvements, performance enhancements from newer FreeBSD development branches. With RELENG_7, we are able to get rid of almost all these local hacks.
This article describes how to install FreeBSD on ZFS from installation CD-ROM, with ZFS as root partition.
PREPARATION
You need to prepare a ‘disc1’ of FreeBSD, as well as a ‘LiveFS’ disc. Also, you should be familiar with daily operation of FreeBSD system administration.
In order to use ZFS on FreeBSD, one has to use FreeBSD 7.0 or better. For better stability and performance, you should have at least 1GB of RAM, and preferably running on a CPU which is capable to run FreeBSD/amd64, fortunately, most modern CPUs does support this.
因为我用的网卡多数都是em(4),所以在最近的升级中也就利用了它提供的TSO功能。TSO是一项减少服务器负载的技术,其原理是将TCP相关的一部分计算交给网卡去做。
被Grim Reaper嚷了40多次,其实有时候觉得这个机制也有它的一些不足。
今天看到了 Murray 和 Nik 两位老大。Paul Saab有一些私人的事情没来,所以没有看到。在 Sunnyvale 举办了这次 GSoC mentor 的 party(游泳池不错!),来了很多以前听说过的神仙(有个老印还给大家吹一种类似萨克斯的乐器,据说他去年就这么做过一次,不知道是哪个项目的神仙),比如 moinmoin 和 pidgin 的作者等等,与此相比,FreeBSD的人反而显得单薄了一些(算上我3个),看来明年我们还是有很多需要改进的地方的。
Complains about can not reach www.freebsd.org was popped up on FreeBSD mailing list. This is believed to be caused by hardware issue, as reported by Simon Nielson recently.
