Caps DDT size to help protect the ARC from memory pressure and maintain more predictable OpenZFS performance as your storage grows. #OpenZFS #ZFS

ZFS 2.4 introduced zfs rewrite, a clean way to reapply dataset settings to existing data. Rewrite a file or directory in place, and ZFS treats it like the data was rewritten with itself. Perfect for applying new compression settings without moving data around. Watch here: na3.hubs.ly/y0xXd80

Hardware RAID was built for a different era. Learn how ZFS protects data with end-to-end checksums, self-healing capabilities, copy-on-write, and filesystem-aware rebuilds that reduce risk and improve reliability. Read more: na3.hubs.ly/y0xXg-0 #OpenZFS #Storage #SysAdmin

Managing multiple FreeBSD jails? Skip the SSH session. Run commands directly inside a jail from the host with jexec—ideal for Ansible playbooks, cron jobs, and day-to-day administration. #FreeBSD #OpenSource #SysAdmin

In our upcoming webinar, Allan Jude and Gordon Tetlow of the FreeBSD Security Team discuss FreeBSD's security architecture and the processes behind investigating vulnerabilities. Save your spot: klarasystems.com/webinars/fre... #FreeBSD #OpenSource

Use this FreeBSD built-in tool for downloading files instead of installing curl or wget. You can use fetch to retrieve files over HTTP or HTTPS, making it a simple choice for scripts, automation, and systems where you want to avoid unnecessary dependencies. #FreeBSD #KlaraSystems #OpenSource

One of the most interesting conversations at BSDCan wasn't about a new feature—it was about where FreeBSD could go next. For @allanjude.com, it was the conversations around FreeBSD jails and ongoing work to improve namespacing. Watch more: na3.hubs.ly/y0xGnP0 #FreeBSD #BSDCan

FreeBSD After Hours AMA: Post-BSDCan Recap - Klara Systems

Join Klara for the BSDCan 2026 FreeBSD AMA and hear the biggest BSDCan takeaways, FreeBSD updates, OpenZFS discussions, and production-focused insights from Allan Jude and Kyle Evans.

If your monthly ZFS scrub slows production, the scrub isn't the problem—your pool design is. Learn why ZFS scrub performance reveals storage bottlenecks and how special VDEVs can reduce maintenance impact while improving resiliency. Read more: na3.hubs.ly/y0ypQ00

If Scrubs Hurt, Your ZFS Design Is Broken - Klara Systems

ZFS scrubs performance issues often point to storage design problems—not the scrub itself. Learn how pool design, and special VDEVs improve performance.

“How should I set up my pool with what I have?” “What drives should I buy?” It’s not about disks—it’s about VDEV design. We break down mirrors, RAIDz1/2/3, dRAID, LOG, CACHE (L2ARC), SPECIAL, and SPARE, and the tradeoffs behind each. 👉 na3.hubs.ly/y0xX8N0

OpenZFS - Understanding ZFS vdev Types - Klara Systems

Understand ZFS vdev types and how they impact performance, redundancy, and storage efficiency to optimize your OpenZFS setup.

Are your FreeBSD packages up to date? Run sudo pkg audit -F to update the vulnerability database and check installed software for known security vulnerabilities and CVEs. Regular audits help catch vulnerable packages early.

How does AnyRAID allocate data? It supports mirrors of any depth plus RAIDZ1, RAIDZ2, and RAIDZ3, intelligently placing data on disks with the most free space while keeping future expansion in mind. Watch the recording: na3.hubs.ly/y0y6Dy0 #OpenZFS #AnyRAID

Don’t skip this one if you use Dedup. "zpool prefetch -t ddt tank" This preloads the deduplication table into ARC after reboot, reducing cold-start latency and improving early workload consistency. Without it, dedup starts cold after reboot. #OpenZFS #Klarasystems #dedup

Data corruption isn't always obvious. ZFS scrubs verify every allocated block in a pool, using checksums and redundancy to detect and repair issues before they become data loss. Learn more: na3.hubs.ly/y0w-8-0 #OpenZFS #ZFS

Understanding ZFS Scrubs and Data Integrity - Klara Systems
