Well, at least I think I solved this… Â there may be a better way, but on my system this worked. I am running PCBSD 9.1 still, just an FYI. Checkout the original CrashPlan installation post here: How to install Crashplan on FreeBSD Ok, so here’s the main problem: CrashPlan installed […]
Recently I ran into a problem booting my root ZFS mirror. Couldn’t get it to load, and only saw blinking cursor or blank screens. Grub could see the FS though! Â I suspect I had a corrupted or out-of-sync zpool.cache file. Don’t ask me how that can happen, because the whole […]
Error showed: dsi_getsess: Connection refused. Was actually a simple fix. Â (FYI, I am running Netatalk 2.2.4 on FreeBSD/PCBSD 9.1) Open /etc/hosts.allow Add lines for afpd for your network/hosts. Change to match your environment, of course. afpd: [ fe80:ca2a:%nfe0 ] : allow afpd: .1stbyte.lan : allow afpd: 192.168.0.0/24 : allow […]

This assumes you’ve installed CrashPlan in the default directory, which requires the “/compat/linux/bin/bash” environment. 1. Create a startup script in /etc/rc.d called “crashplan”. Put the […]
This took a while to solve, its not exactly user-friendly. Â I have a FreeBSD server running VirtualBox virtual machines in headless mode, and I need to do everything using VBoxManage command line. (CLI) Â In one case I wanted to remove the attached DVD ISO image from my machine. They don’t […]
I finally did some reading, and found that setting my vfs.zfs.arc_max to about one-half my RAM, minus 512MB, and setting vm.kmem_size to 1.5x my RAM, it would stop giving me the kmem_map panic.
How to install Crashplan on FreeBSD!

Here’s my notes for ZFS root installation with FreeBSD 8.1. (amd64 on my system) Boot up the FreeBSD install disk, you’ll need one with the Fixit system. In the examples listed, I had 2 disks, ad4 and ad6. Yours may be different, replace as necessary. 1. Add the modules on […]
Tried to manually setup my disks in order to install root FreeBSD on a ZFS mirror, but following the how-to’s available, I couldn’t get pass the first command. gpart create -s gpt ad0 geom ‘ad0’: File exists I tried deleting the partitions/slices, even doing a “dd of=/dev/null†on my […]
