Bacula 7.x is now deprecated on FreeBSD. Please migrate to 9.x :
https://www.freshports.org/commit.php?category=sysutils&port=bacula-server&files=yes&message_id=201811081916.wA8JGQs8007577@repo.freebsd.org
It's been a pretty steady 850 Mb/s from bacula-sd-10 to the R710 (bacula-sd-02) and onto the two LTO-4 tape drives.
That's about 100MB/s which is well below the capacity of an LTO-4 which is 120MB/s per drive. That's why I usually write to only one drive at a time, instead of 2.
I was able to repair the Dell TL4000 tape library. The robotic picker would not move vertically. It was a split gear. The photos of that process are here: https://imgur.com/a/OJ8U91s
I started copying the monthly full backups to tape this afternoon.

I'm having drive issues, and now I suspect it's the drive bay. Here is the drive activity from the 'zpool replace', the drive failing, the power off, and the 'zpool replace' automagically resuming after power on: https://twitter.com/DLangille/status/1059507516562915329
Using smartd to schedule self tests on your drives. I wish I'd done this decades ago.

In OSX http://terminal.app , CMD-UP-ARROW takes you to the previous command you typed in the windows. This isn't shell-level command history, it's scrolling back in the window.
I find it useful to go back to the start of the poudriere testport and grab the URL.

/me puts Admin Hat on.
Hi everybody!
The bsd.network instance has a new Code Of Conduct, viewable at https://bsd.network/terms or via the "Terms and Conditions" link that is sprinkled around a few places.
The TL;DR is "be cool unto others". However, since society at large has demonstrated they can't be cool, we had to write out a bunch of things.
Your local Admins are @phessler and @aag. We're also blessed to have @pamela as a Moderator.
That long-standing recurring but intermittent problem finally degraded my zpool last night.
I fixed it, then it broke again. I ignored it overnight and slept well.
This morning I replaced a cable. Let's see what happens next.
MeetBSD cake for FreeBSD 25th anniversary
This is my task list for the flights home after MeetBSD 2018
* vulnerable ports RSS feed: https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/40
* caching of commits: https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/40
* needs_refresh signal: https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/58
The issue is: avoiding working on that until I fly.

PostgreSQL 11 released http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/116590
MeetBSD 2018
There are worse things to do while waiting for a connecting flight.
Photo is unrelated to the hurricane. That's my current view as I type this.
I’m on leave until Monday. This morning, I’m in Wilmington NC playing with some @ansible scripts to adjust log reporting on the new @FreshPorts @postgresql 10.5 database server.
Much Hurricane Florence damage is visible, but mostly downed trees.

Do you know how?
The xhyve blog post. https://dan.langille.org/2018/10/02/running-freebsd-on-osx-using-xhyve-a-port-of-bhyve/
Those of you who are already using xhyve, please let me know where this needs to be corrected. I am not convinced I have correctly described the script parameters.
Cheers
