Also if something goes wrong with the filesystem what are the tools to
check the drive and repair errors as in Linux I use e2fsck followed by
device ID.
Example after a dirty shutdown:
fsck -y
FreeBSD 7 and up is able to do a lot of this on the background: fsck -yB
Adding the line 'fsck_y_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf will run fsck -y
if the initial preen fails
Many thanks guys for all the advice!!!! :-)
It is really appreciated!
Sorry haven't snipped more stuff into this mail but things are a bit
hectic here but what I will say is this; in a few hours once the BSD 8
DVD ISO comes in I will attempt an install and have a look at what's what.
The server will be constructed first and then I will look at the GUI
environment with Vbox.
I reckon the proposed disk usage spec from the FreeBSD hand book should
suffice though shouldn't it??
With a larger HD I would normally do something like 15 - 25GB / (root)
partition and the rest for /home with round 1.5 - 3GB for swap.
Now my HD is round 40GB so I will do a minimal install and try to
maximize the /home slice! As result only services I will run are DNS,
NTP, SAMBA and NFS.
I suppose I could get away with something like 2GB for / which would
then contain /tmp, /etc, /root, /boot etc.....
Only 2 machines will be connected, my uncles Win XP box and my
Linux/Solaris system.
