BSDNow Episode 42: Devious Methods
This week on BSDNow the BSD communities' podcast, features an interview with Bryce Chidester on running a BSD-based shell provider, a video tutorial 'Chaining SSH connections', and other highlights:
- Chaining SSH Connections tutorial
- PIE and ASLR in FreeBSD
- ZFS stripe width
- FreeBSD Foundation BSDCan trip report by Li-Wen Hsu
- BSD Router Project 1.51
- FreeBSD Disk Partitioning
- pfSense News
- and more, totaling almost an hour and a half BSD-related news, tutorials and updates!
The next delight I had was when it dawned on me that I could extemporaneously "zfs create" separate "sub" file systems within each of those storage pools; again, essentially an instantaneous operation, and the disk space apportioning is automatic and dynamic. You don't have to set size limits for those "sub" file systems.
After that I just kept discovering new wonders. The use of snapshots for live archiving without consuming much storage space is a warm glow.
