Can you tell me what is the maximum stable amount of RAM and number of Symmetric CPUs, not individual cores can FreeBSD 8 and FreBSD 7.2 Support even if it needs kernel modification. I could not find that information on the net.

I am excited to try out the new Jail for FreeBSD8.0, I believe it has improve a lot compare to version 7.2, especially VIMAGE, which can you separate network stack.

@kubrick

In my FreeBSD-8.0-RELEASE system, I have 4 SATA drives; each has a small (64KB) freebsd-boot partition, a 4GB freebsd-swap partition, and the remainder of the space (275GB) is allocated to freebsd-zfs partitions that are brought together in a single raidz-1 pool (1.01TB). Using gptzfsboot, I boot/root from filesystems in that zfs pool.

With this new release, is it possible to install a complete FreeBSD system using ZFS filesystem ?
Thanks!

Cheers!

@Troy,

Yes Jails+ZFS+Viimage = Solaris Zones (almost). However, code is new so it is considered as an experimental feature.

So with the new jails structure does that bring FreeBSD 8.0 jails to the same level as OpenSolaris Zones?
