FreeBSD—the powerful, flexible, and free Unix-like
operating system—is the preferred server for many
enterprises. But it can be even trickier to use than
either Unix or Linux, and harder still to master.
In this completely revised and updated third edition
of Absolute FreeBSD, FreeBSD committer Michael W.
Lucas covers the newest features and teaches you how
to manage FreeBSD systems. You’ll dive deep into
server
management, learning both how things work
and why they work the way they do. New to this edition
is coverage of modern disks and redesigned jail and
packaging systems, as well as FreeBSD transformative
features designed for cloud-based management, like
libxo and UCL.
You’ll also learn how to:
• Choose the right filesystem for your environment
• Back up and restore critical data
• Tweak the kernel—and when not to
• Configure your network, including how to activate
interfaces and select cong
estion control algorithms
• Manage UFS, ZFS, and other critical filesystems
• Work with advanced security features like blacklistd
and packet filtering
• Implement container-style virtualization with jails
• Perform panic management and bug reporting
Whether you’re a beginner simply in need of a
complete introduction to FreeBSD or an experienced
sysadmin or devops person looking to expand your
skills, Absolute FreeBSD will show you how to take
your FreeBSD system from “ju
st working” to “working
well.” Don’t leave your cubicle without it.
