extended/logical slices

Even when there is no user activity, a Unix system normally is still running a number of daemons such as syslogd which regularly write to the filesystem. Beyond that, the syncer mechanism tries to reduce the number of dirty memory buffers every thirty seconds or so. I guess that some daemons are causing disk access. But it must be not only syslogd. Is the syncer causing the disk to spin up even if there is nothing to flush? [...] Instead you probably will need to mount filesystems read-only and create RAM disks in a fashion similar to booting off limited-write media like My idea is to transfer those files that are written also when the user is idle to a RAM disk (some from /var/log and dhclient.leases). But I don't want to mount the filesystems read-only. Compact Flash. Either that, or simply shutdown the system or run zzz to suspend the system via APM/APCI.

Re: FreeBSD 5, chroot and /dev
On Aug 11 at 17:33, Henrik W Lund spoke: I may be wrong here, but I think that in the 5.x system, /dev is populated at boottime, courtesy of the GEOM layer and the devfs filesystem.

Greetings! ok, I have shown the short paths as of the mounted harddisk. They should all be prefixed with /mnt/ufs.1/. So when a filesystem usually containing /dev is mounted the /dev directory becomes /mnt/ufs.1/dev. So this directory had no entries. A had then tried to create a few entries by hand which are then visible after `chroot /mnt/ufs.1'. So, messing with device nodes in a chrooted 5.x system is not possible (someone correct me here, if I'm wrong). What happens when you try to boot it normally?

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but it should help you
work around your problem.
After booting the CD, look in the /boot directory on the HDD. If you
move the contents of /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel, you'll have
restored your previous kernel, and can then reboot off the HDD to
attempt to build a working kernel again.
Ok. Thanks.
I have now created /mnt/ufs.1/dev/fd/[012] by mknod and the links
/mnt/ufs.1/dev/std{err,in,out}.
Another build is now in progress which has come further than the
first one.
If this fails too I'll move /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel.
Thanks.

Hello Adam Seniuk,
first you need to adjust the entries in /etc/fstab. Boot a rescue CD
(FreeBSD CD #2) and mount /dev/ad2s1a (or ad2s{2,3,4}a) on /mnt and
edit /mnt/etc/fstab.
If there are no disks ad0 and ad1 you must tell the BIOS to boot
drive E.
If there are disks ad0 and ad1 you might install the boot manager on
ad0 and ad1 with boot0cfg. This allows you to jump via ad0 and ad1
to ad2 during boot. But depending what the MBRs of ad0 and ad1
already contain (other boot managers?) this may not be what you
want.

Unfortunately it is set off by default. There are two (or more) possibilities to recover. 1. install the FreeBSD bootmanager into MBR and Lilo/Grub into the Linux partition (/dev/hda2). In order to install the FreeBSD bootmanager with the packet option you should boot the FreeBSD recovery disk. This is the second disk. And then choose Fixit from the install menu. After you have the root prompt issue the following command: boot0cfg -vB -o packet /dev/ad0 (This assumes you have a IDE disk.) 2. launch the Linux recovery CD/floppy and setup Lilo or Grub accordingly.

i18n with foreign package
Hello, I'm trying to install a foreign package with i18n with a specific prefix. The package is icewm-1.2.8pre2 and the prefix is /usr/opt/icewm-1.2.8pre2. So the locale directory becomes /usr/opt/icewm-1.2.8pre2/share/locale . Here are several language directories. Their names are be.po, ca.po, cs.po and so forth. Below there is de.po/LC_MESSAGES/icewm.mo for example. But starting this icewm with LANG=de_DE has no effect. LANG=C is used. How can I run this icewm with the German local without copying the icewm.mo into the public place /usr/share/locale/... ? -Hanspeter ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

blank_sever doesn't reset from stanby
Hello, for the text consoles I have setup blank_saver but for X DPMS.

But when I switch to a text console it is like in standby mode and can't be woken up again even though I have only blank_saver running. Thereafter I can't switch back to the X session on console 9. On the console 9 there is gdm running. Sometimes I have a secondary X session on console 10 launched by startx. The X sessions will be terminated by xautolock.
