How to Install Java 64-bit

[nello]

CrashPlan decided to upgrade my Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from 1.7 to 7.

I think that it installed the 32-bit version, based on these log entries:

Code:

Java Installed.
Unpacking remaining upgrade files
currentDir=/usr/pbi/crashplan-amd64/share/crashplan/upgrade/1435813200470_344.1468472873812
120511 blocks
Removing existing app files...
Adding updated files...
32 bit version detected, using 32 bit electron.

How can I tell whether I have a 32- or 64-bit JRE?

If I have a 32-bit JRE, how do I upgrade it to 64-bit?

Thank you.

Code:

pkg info

Should give you a list of all installed packages. You will just have to research which package is installed with a little google fu to tell what version it is.

With that said however if it's working as intended I wouldn't go trying to change from a 32bit version to a 64bit version. It may just end up breaking things and causing who knows what to happen. If you REALLY have to change it then I would suggest creating a new jail and doing a test run before making changes on something that is working just fine as it is.

@nello I'm just noticing you multiple threads and it looks like you are fighting with crashplan again. I wanted to mention that I stopped using the Jail version of crashplan about a year ago because of all the headaches. I now run a linux vm on my desktop and mount my freenas server and backup from there. I don't want to discourage you from solving your problems but thought I should mention that I have given up running it on freebsd.

Thanks for looking in on me. :)

I now run a linux vm on my desktop and mount my freenas server and backup from there.

I used to do something like that; I ran CrashPlan on my iMac and used FreeNAS (mounted via AFP) as the destination. There were two reasons that I moved CrashPlan off my iMac and onto FreeNAS.

1. This configuration requires two computers; if either is unavailable then the backups won't run.
2. I want to run backups from my laptops when they are connected to the internet and outside of my LAN; I didn't like the idea of my iMac being accessible from the internet and potentially at risk if a CrashPlan exploit were discovered.

So, I'm really trying to make FreeNAS work as a standalone CrashPlan server and Destination.

I've read about people dumping CrashPlan altogether and moving to another backup solution. I'd like to stick with a CrashPlan solution because I share my CrashPlan server as a Destination available to members of my family; I'd rather not change the client on their computers.

I've read about people running CrashPlan in a VM in a regular--not plugin--Jail. My understanding is that this will be simpler to implement with FreeNAS 10 because it will include bhyve.

Does it make sense to run CrashPlan in Jail VM on FreeNAS 10?

Thank you for this reminder. WHAT was I thinking?!? You are correct; I don't want to tempt fate.

If you're on 9.10, bhyve is already available to you. Just set-up a Ubuntu VM in bhyve, install CrashPlan and away you go :)

Were you ever able to figure out how to upgrade crashplan to 64 bit?
