Had a busy few days. I had to 1. Build a temporary mail/web server (old desktop), freebsd 8.3 2. Rebuild my file server (via epia fanless) because it was booting from my sandisk CF. It seems just as happy with a Lexar CF card instead. 3. Install freebsd 8.3 onto 4G sandisk CF and get net5501 to boot from it. 4. reconfigure bind, dhcpd, pf etc to made everything else work
So my net5501 now has a 4G sandisk CF master and 40G laptop drive slave, currently empty. Next job is to do any final optimisation and migrate the mail/web jails back onto the net5501. Should be easy enough I think. Before I do that, some questions. 1. I get these complaints in dmesg ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=10<NID_NOT_FOUND> LBA=7813119 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=10<NID_NOT_FOUND> LBA=7813119 but other than that it seems fine I have this in /boot/device.hints hint.ata.0.mode="UDMA33" on advice from http://wiki.soekris.info/Installing_FreeBSD I changed UDMA66 to UDMA33 as it said UDMA33 when I built the OS on the epia PC is this a problem? 2. Thinking about flash drive wearout, I set option "rw,noatime" in fstab as my understanding is that this is a good idea with solid state drives. Presumably I should disable swap on the CF and put a swap partition on the laptop drive? Should I mount /var on the laptop drive as well? what about other partitions? the jails will be on there. I would like to be able to survive a hard drive failure without the whole thing failing (there will be scripts to back up the jails elsewhere). 3. Last question, but a long one :-) are there any problems with my kernel config below. Maybe it will be useful to someone else. I figured that it might be useful to be able to attach a usb drive or cdrom but I'm not interested in much else. thanks, Philip #cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU #cpu I686_CPU #ident GENERIC ident NET5501 options CPU_SOEKRIS options CPU_GEODE # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints #hints "GENERIC.hints" # Default places to look for devices. # Use the following to compile in values accessible to the kernel # through getenv() (or kenv(1) in userland).
