Oh sorry , missed it.

Well no one mentioned FC, and yes it would be best, but we werent talking about that now or enterprise SAN were we? Didnt think so.
I still maintain that NFS > iSCSI.
With iSCSI you have some limitations. Single Disk IO,VMFS vs RDMs, Zones, identical LUN Ids across ESX servers, you cant resize LUNs on the fly.
With NFS all of this goes away. VMDK thin provisioning by default, You can expand/decrease the NFS volume on the fly and realize the effect of the operation on the ESX server with the click of the refresh button., no vmfs or rdm decisions, no zones, HBAs, LUN ids. No single disk I/O queue, so your performance is strictly dependent upon the size of the pipe and the disk array.
You can have a Single mount point across multiple IP addesses and you can use link aggregation IEEE 802.3ad to increase the size of your pipe whereas with iSCSI you are restricted to 1gbps unless you have a 10gbps network (which most people dont).

Manual installation is not very well supported, and the documents describing it are out of date.Anyways, I followed the manual install for 0.1.7, installed lighttpd, php5,php5-sessions, and fast-cgi and all that, some things were different with the lighttpd and fastcgi config files, but I got it working (or maybe not? lol).
Those are not really errors; just notices. You can safely ignore them, 0.1.8 final shouldn't yield such messages but it shouldn't be the cause of any problem.I've got it so it starts and runs, and I can access it through the web interface, but I've had some weird issues where I keep seeing errors in the logs about undefined indexes

There is no password mailer yet for my site; will come sometime you're not the only one with registering problems.

The best way to test the 0.1.8 preview is just to use the 0.1.7 livecd and then update to 0.1.8 using the command line instructions posted in this thread recently. By using the livecd, you will be using a known system image release with a known checksum.
On a manual installation, your distribution type will be unknown; and it won't know a checksum as well. This would disable some abilities, though i consider the memory tuning thing a bug; that should work even for an unknown system image or distribution type. I'll fix that in 0.1.8 final.

The only real problem i see is that by using the Manual installation method your distribution type is 'unknown'; that causes the memory tuning to fail because it needs to select between Root-on-ZFS loader.conf and Embedded/LiveCD loader.conf. That check fails, instead i should probably use Root-on-ZFS for unknown distributions, while performing tuning.

I use iSCSI at work with LACP as well as formatting the LUN as vmfs with no issues. Yes you cannot expand on the fly. How is iSCSI limited to 1Gbps even with LACP?
I will make (at least) two torrent clients:What are you going to use for the built in torrent client?
That is a QT4-based graphical torrent client. You need a graphical environment for that and that's a huge package. I will do X11 package sometime but not soon.I have tried a bunch of different clients and have found qbittorent to be the best.
I will make (at least) two torrent clients:
- one internal for system disk downloads and extension pack downloads; zfsguru-internal torrent client. i probably will use rtorrent for this.
- one user-operated torrent client available as extension; including webgui and running in FreeBSD Jail (for security reasons)
So the torrent client i need for ZFSguru would be something that is always installed when using my LiveCD or system images (Root-on-ZFS) but the torrent you use for downloading your own personal torrents would be separate as extension and thus not preinstalled.
I probably will do the torrent client after VirtualBox, as second major extension package. But before that i would want to make the internal rtorrent client working so i can begin working on integrating this all into the web-interface. Then you can access all GUIs from the Services page, which i think would be great!

Instead, i will look for a torrent that runs as daemon (background service/process) and has a web-interface or remote interface to communicate with. That could be rtorrent but i think the best is transmission-daemon. Then you can use any Transmission client and connect to the remote server and manage your torrents with a Windows (or Linux) frontend application.
The addition of virtualbox is awesome, and what Ive really wanted to do with a zfs server for a while..
So I can run zfsguru as a storage backend.. then whs 2011 in virtualbox for my pc backups..

And now, over to the enemy:
Here is some pictures from FreeNAS 8.0 RC2:
Yes. The LiveCD would ship with only basic (required) extensions and thus wouldn't have iSCSI installed by default and many other things as well.And one other thing...will these features (rtorrent, Virtualbox, etc) be available as packages? So that, if I don't want them, I can not have them installed (in order to save resources, increase security, and so on)?
Yes, there is a new updated driver committed to 8-STABLE. I tried porting it, should appear in next 8.2-002 system image release, in under a week i think. Not sure what the changes are, but this driver coming to 8-STABLE is generally a good sign!Any update on SAS2008 compatibility since I last described the timeout issue?
