Migrating from Qjail to ezjail
I was using qjail on my freebsd system but I’m migrating to ezjail.
The reason for this is that the port is marked as RESTRICTED. Since it seems to be a fork from ezjail without respecting the copyright and license https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2013-March/002149.html.
Read more...CGIpaf uploaded to github
I finally converted the cgipaf cvs repository to github.
I used cvs2git It took a bit longer than expected.
My first attempt didn’t had the release tags right.
Adding --retain-conflicting-attic-files to cvs2git resolved this issue.
You’ll find how I did it it below.

I’m adding more services to my freebsd system
I’m coming from the solaris world where it’s a common practice to run services in separated containers for security reasons.
On FreeBSD there are jails to isolate services and improve security.
At first I didn’t like jails the way the freebsd handbook describes it requires a buildworld which takes a long time on my system with a AMD C-60 CPU.
Lucky Qjail makes the deployment a lot easier.

As my file and backup system pluto died i’m building a new one.
This system will run Freebsd mainly for the ZFS filesystem.
The motherbord will be a Asus C60M1-I. The cpu may not have not enough horsepower for deplucation at full speed but it has 6 sata ports which is not common on a mini ITX motherbord. I will reuse my old harddrives and add or replace them when I need more storage.
The freebsd 9.0 installation with ZFS root went well but the network adapter a Realtek 8111F isn’t supported by Freebsd 9.0. After checking google I found this on the freebsd-net mailinglist.
The realtek f8111F is supported in the latest driver code, after rebuilding my kernel the network adapter works fine. Very useful on a NAS ;-)
