In order to do this, you have to fire up a bit of terminal. If you are not familiar with the underlines of UNIX, you should document yourself more before proceeding.

So, I have a partition which I do not want to be automatically mounted on reboot because it is used by one virtualbox machine.
1. List the partitions with diskutil command:
mini:~ osx$ diskutil list

For this example I will user md5 but in similar way you can use whatever you want in order to create a hash version of your text password.
As a security note, I do not recommend using md5 to generate hash passwords because today it is very easily broken. This is jut a proof of concept.

I got this SMF forum for my wife and is working very well. I am very satisfied with SMF.
However, sometimes you get into trouble with it and the worst part is you do not have much logs to work with. Also, apache logs won't help much either.

So, below you will find things I encountered.

AIO subsystems in 6.1 and later are loaded by default and not activated. It is implemented as kernel service instead of using special device aio0 as in previous AIX versions. The kernel module tuning (maxservers, minservers, etc.) is implemented via ioo command.
In order to check the available aio tunables, you must use the following command:
# ioo -L | grep aio

The moment application initiates the AIO I/O requests, the subsystems are automatically started.

Your zfs was working properly but you have upgraded your system, including the kernel, and your zfs is no more available.
This is normal because zfs was compiled for the other one.
So all you will have to do is to execute the following commands (do not forget of course to install/put in place the needed linux source or headers before that):
dpkg-reconfigure spl-dkms
dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms

I got this message today while trying to run sa-update command:

Most common place to get this error is when you try to compile something in cygwin environment because the configuration script is not able to detect properly the system type due to missing important information in config.guess. Therefore, in order to make it work, you need to replace the file with the one available in your system, providing you have installed already automake package.

TCP offload engine or TOE is a technology used in network interface cards (NIC) to offload processing of the entire TCP/IP stack to the network controller. It is primarily used with high-speed network interfaces, such as gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, where processing overhead of the network stack becomes significant.

In below example, we are attaching an ISCSI disk to VM via VirtalBox.
Of course, you can also attach it directly from the VM if the OS supports it but this is not covered here.

How to find out the original MAC address from a network adapter with manually modified MAC address:

root@core:~# ethtool -P eth3
Permanent address: 10:a2:bc:86:22:16

How to disable ipv6 for a specific network adapter:

root@core:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/iscsi/disable_ipv6

How to manually change the network adapter MAC address:

root@core:~# ifconfig eth3 | grep HWaddr
eth3      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr c3:de:c3:65:g3:4t
