How much HDD space does FreeBSD need?

My HDD has 10G space for FreeBSD and I installed onto that space. The FreeBSD installation was of no problem. However, once I tried to upgrade Gnome 2.8 to 2.10, I've faced up a warning message at some point that I am running out of HDD space. (I just executed the recommend upgrade shell script from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gonme/) Is 10G HDD space is not good enough?

Re: Mucking with other drive
I am currently stuck running Windows Me on a Dell Desktop Pentium 3 1ghrtz with 512mb ram. I recently dusted off a old hard drive that contains a whole 2 gigs of hard drive space. I have installed the hard disk drive and am wanting to install FreeBsd on it. Before I go about mucking things up, I just wanted to make sure that when I go to install FreeBsd it will not mess up the existing hard drive. I have business and payroll progs on it. I am also wondering if when installing there is an actual question asked by the installation prog for destination. Sorry to be asking a stupid question, and I swear I read through your installation info until my eyes dried out and couldn't find the answers, so that is why I am bothering you. I did try to find the answer first. Anyways any help would be cool as I would really like to start relearning another operating system. If you do the install on the new old drive, it will not muck with the MS drive other than to write the MBR to make it know how to boot the FreeBSd drive. Now, of course, you could squeeze the MS junk down and install FreeBSD in a separate slice on the same drive as the MS junk.

I read the man for boot0cfg, but I can't make heads or tails of ti!!! how do I configure/install the boo0 to show the second disk ni the boot menu? I generally use fdisk and not boot0cfg, but I think it is basically the same for what you are trying to do here. Something like: boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 -o packet ad2 You might want to add -f some_file_name if you want it to save whatever was in the sector0 before the command. You can put it back if you need. You may also need -m 0x1 or -m 0x3 or -m 0x7 or -m 0xf depending on if you have 1, 2, 3 or 4 slices actively bootable. I think it is supposed to figure it out, but if it doesn't, then try those. You migh also want to include the -v flag to make it print out more stuff when it runs. You might also want to do the exactly the same or the same fdisk to ad0 as well. I got that part :P What I didn't understand is how the hell I'm I suppose to let him know about the other disk :) By the way, what happened to ad1? (I don't muck with IDE - I have SCSI so, I am not up on its device naming schemes) Good luck, jerry BIOS names disks as hdN, and bsd as adN (as you already know). The main difference is that BIOS just increments N for the next disk (example: pri/master=hd0, pri/slave=cdrom, sec/master=hd1) and fbsd decides N by IDE position (example: pri/master=ad0, pri/slave=acd0, sec/master=ad2) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kylix or libborqt
Hey, folks! At long last, I have found an Open Source data modelling tool! It is DBDesigner by fabFORCE.net (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) and it is pretty nice. I was able to connect to my MySQL database and suck in the entire schema! It didn't do the full E-R diagram because there wasn't enough information in the DD/DL, but it was a HUGE start. Unfortunately, I know that from running it under Windoze My problem is that, of course, it is only compiled for MS-Windows and Linux. That's OK, I have Linux compatibility installed so that I can run acroread. What makes matters worse is that it was built using something called Kylix by Borland (http://www.borland.com/kylix/). As such, it depends on a library called libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so. I'm pretty much a newbie to Linux applications on FreeBSD. I got acroread running because the packages did everything for me. So... 1) Do I need a Linux libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so, or a FreeBSD one? 2) Should I forget trying to run the darn thing in Linux mode and try to port it to FreeBSD, since it is open source? The biggest problem with porting it would probably be Kylix itself, which, while GPL, I haven't found the source. It must be quit extensive, because the download is 90.7 Mb and includes two high-performance C++ compilers. The Windows version came with whatever DLLs it needed, so I suspect you don't really have to go THAT far. I could use some advice, here. My goal is to get my database application up and running with some new features, and it has grown to the point that having a data modelling tool would be a tremendous help. On the other hand, I HATE having to use Windows to do it, and the irony of using a Windows application to develop a MySQl application is not lost on me. I would also like to see as many native FreeBSD ports as possible. I am standing at a fork in the road, but this fork has MANY tines. Anyone who can help me eliminate some of the choices, or even CLARIFY some of the choices, would be doing me a great service.

If you are using Privilege Separation, then an sshd process will chroot itself into /var/empty before performing authentication. /var/empty is itself usually empty. One thing you can do is to make the dir /var/empty/etc and then drop a copy of your /etc/hosts file into the newly created /var/empty/etc/ directory. You might want to make sure that the hosts file contains a mapping to the LAN machines which you want to ssh from. Keep in mind that /var/empty has the schg flag set, so you won't be able to copy anything to it without disabling this first. See more at `man chflags`. Try something like this: # chflags -R noschg /var/empty # mkdir /var/empty/etc # cp /etc/hosts /var/empty/etc # chflags -R schg /var/empty This will likely clear up your problem. Nathan Thank you, Nathan. Can I put soft link into /var/empty/etc (this is crossdevice link, and I can't put hard link in it)? And does I realy need -R key in last command which you recomended? This mean that directory /var/empty/etc has schg flag too. Is it nessesery? From `man sshd`: /var/empty chroot(2) directory used by sshd during privilege separation in the pre-authentication phase. The directory should not contain any files and must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. I assume you can follow these rules. The noschg flags may be something that the FreeBSD developers decided to do for added security, and I don't see any practical reason to alter it. Regarding soft/hard links in the chrooted dir, I don't know if that would work. I suspect no, as it would somewhat defeat the purpose of the chroot. Cross-device link error: hard links will only work within a single filesystem, not across multiple filesystems. Nathan pgpnWYTvgo7zb.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: Mucking with other drive
Jerry, Well, of course it's going to muck with the other drive what do you think writing the MBR does? Do you want to risk the MS system not booting? 95% of the time it will work OK but what if her system is in that 5% of the time that it doesen't? You going to go over to her house and fix it? What if she's got some nutty drive program on there like diskmanager that neither of you know about that is already on the mbr? Carrie, PC bioses only let you boot off of drive C. If you install this other drive as drive D then during the installation FreeBSD is going to have to write a boot loader onto C so that when the PC boots it will load the boot loader, which will then load the FreeBSD system off drive D. You need to leave well enough alone. You can pick up older PC's for a song these days. If you have critical data on your Dell then don't screw with it. Find some other PC that someone's going to throw away and load FreeBSD on that. You don't even need a monitor for it, you can telnet/ssh into it from your Dell system easily.

I am not exactly clear from your description, but... I would expect that when you hit F5, you would be presented with a new menu that included the ad2 disk.Maybe that disk does not really have an MBR, but only a boot block (the second part of the disk boot process [or third if you count BIOS]). I believe each disk that has bootable slices (which have boot blocks/sectors) also needs to have an MBR for it to work right. If you are brave, try using fdisk to write the MBR to ad2 as well. I don't think that would mess up anything and might be what is missing. Something like: fdisk -BI -b /boot/boot0 ad2 I don't know if FreeBSD 5.3 still keeps its MBR in /boot/boot0. You may have to check that. jerry That's what I thought. F5 should move on to the next disk, or more precise the next disk's mbr. But it does not. Anyways, the second disk has a MBR on it. As I said, when I unplug the fist dis and boot the box with the old disk (second disk) only, I get a normal boot menu from Widows XP (which has it's own boot loader = WinXP and Win2k Pro). So the problem is not that the second disk has bad or no MBR, rather that FreeBSD's boot manager boot0 doesn't give me a chance to boot from the second disk. I thought about overwriting the mbr on the second disk (ad2), but I don't feel very brave :P I think that will most defenetly remove WinXP boot manager and probably remove some partitioning info, thus I'll loose the data. And since I'm not familiar with WinXP boot process, and don't know if FreeBSD's boot manager will pick up where WinXP/MBR left off, I rather not do that without any assurance. I think it would be OK. I don't think it will change the slicing info unless you tell it to. On any multi boot installs I have done, it has been smart enough to only change what it needed. But, it's your machine - doesn't harm me if it screws up, so... so it is up to you.Ted M seems to think there are some situations in which rewriting the MBR can screw things up. I haven't run in to one yet, but probably he knows of more such situations that I do. I read the man for boot0cfg, but I can't make heads or tails of ti!!! how do I configure/install the boo0 to show the second disk ni the boot menu? I generally use fdisk and not boot0cfg, but I think it is basically the same for what you are trying to do here. Something like: boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 -o packet ad2 You might want to add -f some_file_name if you want it to save whatever was in the sector0 before the command. You can put it back if you need. You may also need -m 0x1 or -m 0x3 or -m 0x7 or -m 0xf depending on if you have 1, 2, 3 or 4 slices actively bootable. I think it is supposed to figure it out, but if it doesn't, then try those. You migh also want to include the -v flag to make it print out more stuff when it runs. You might also want to do the exactly the same or the same fdisk to ad0 as well. I got that part :P What I didn't understand is how the hell I'm I suppose to let him know about the other disk :) I think it is supposed to figure it out itself by looking at which slices are marked active - eg bootable. The -m 0x3 etc marks them active. You can also tell it which is the default one or the active slices to boot from. If you have the -o packet option set, then it will automatically set the default to whatever you select and the next time that will be it if you don't select anything else in the time allowed (set by -t ticks). By the way, what happened to ad1? (I don't muck with IDE - I have SCSI so, I am not up on its device naming schemes) Good luck, jerry BIOS names disks as hdN, and bsd as adN (as you already know). The main difference is that BIOS just increments N for the next disk (example: pri/master=hd0, pri/slave=cdrom, sec/master=hd1) and fbsd decides N by IDE position (example: pri/master=ad0, pri/slave=acd0, sec/master=ad2) Sort of what I guessed. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To be more serious I know ports has hebrew fonts, for example /usr/ports/hebrew/elmar-fonts/pkg-descr and /usr/ports/hebrew/culmus/pkg-descr. There are arabic fonts in /usr/ports/arabic/ About arabtex I just looked at http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ifi/bs/research/arab_e.html which refers you to ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/ for download. Maybe this is a good project for some Arabic speaking person to take on? Making a port of arabtex I mean, if anyone does, be warned ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/ seems as slow as molasses. (is that phrase offensive these days?

Data Recovery
Are there any ways to recover files from rm -rf dirname after a few days, assuming there have been few if any writes to the filesystem since? I've been playing with tools like foremost and jpegrescue a bit... and running tests on other filesystems, but it doesn't appear that I'm getting full images back from the disk. Looking at an octal dump of a disk image (dd if=/dev/blah of=/some/file), I can find the file header... and about 20k of the file, generally... and then there's garbage. Presumably the file's been broken into blocks and there's inode table data to consider... The tests Im running are trying to find jpeg files that HAVEN'T been deleted from the filesystem.

strange behaviour : grep -i --colour

I would urge the FreeBSD community to stick to their guns and take a stand for religious freedom for everyone. You have a right to your logo. It's been your logo for 20 years and no bunch of religious bigots should be able to make you change it. I'm not saying that they have to agree with you, but they don't have the right to force you to change. Hi Jimi, First, if yuor a FreeBSD user it's YOUR logo too, not just mine. Second, I agree with the sentiments - which is why I do not intend to participate in the rediculous contest for a new logo which was announced here last month. I urge everyone else not to participate also. The core developers who want to change Beastie are not graphic artists, they know they aren't graphic artists, and they have never been able to come up with anything to replace beastie that looks a tenth as good. They know this which is why the put together the contest. If nobody participates in the contest then they will be back where they started from and will not have gained anything in the attempt to change beastie. If that happens not only will beastie stay but the malcontents will have gotten such a significantly embarassing and bloody nose over the affair that they will then hopefully drop this stupid and misguided campaign. Remember - these religious right politically correct types draw strength in numbers. They know they are a minority in the userbase, and so the only hope they have of winning is the following: 1) is getting a sufficient number of FreeBSD users converted over to the way they think. 2) Hiding behind the existing FreeBSD core team and making the rest of us think that the entire core team is united in wanting to toss Beastie. So far, numbers 1 and 2 aren't true, and unless the userbase starts thinking that they are, this effort will die a quiet death.

Re: Data Recovery
I hope that you have remounted this filesystem read-only .. or else you might not be able to recover anything. That might be one of the problems you are running into. Sleuthkit allows you to search inodes and fragment ranges of a device for particular file and directory names.. then images that inode or fragment range into a single image file elsewhere on the system. Foremost will then open that image file and extract files based on their header and footer information, but.. if you do not include footer information you might get truncated file recovery. Also.. as stated before.. if there have been multiple writes to the file system.. you probably wont get the file back at all. Hope this helps..

Re: Stupid ASCII loader prompt
We live in a day and age where it is politically incorrect to take pride in anything, and it shows. Well, by now we are gleefully off topic for this list, so... No, not at all. The right-wingers take lots of pride in successfully being able to destroy ANWR for example. More accurately, the United States has a political system that is suceptable to control by minorities, and every once in a while the right-wingers who are a minority in the country, manage to seize control until cooler heads prevail. We are in one of these times. The USA system attempts/purports to _protect_ the minorities. This exists because supposedly the system tries to protect everyone, not specifically the minorities. It is only an artifact that sometimes minorities find themselves able to use the system to influence some outcome. They do not seize control. They wield whatever poser/influence they can muster, but they do not seize control. Don't forget the same thing happened with Prohibition. You and I wern't alive then, but the ultraconservative christians managed to take control then also, and the result of that failed attempt was the Mafia. First, that wasn't such a minority or untraconservative outcome as you might think.It had next to nothing to do with Christianity although some churches and church people got in to the fray. It was mostly more an unholy alliance of women activists and those who were discovering the concept of social engineering. It initially enjoyed widespread support -- as well as widespread grumbling. Most who apposed it, presumed they could just ignore it which is what they did. Next, it was not exactly a failure. The use of alcohol went down very significantly. Finally, it was not the Mafia that gained power, but the Chicago, Detroit and Galveston based bootlegger gangs. They weren't Mafia related for the most part and probably actually cut in to Mafia power during their brief reign. I am afraid that a political system where the minority never gets a chance of control is much worse than a political system where the minority gets control every once in a while. So enduring these periods of time is I am afraid, one of the payments that we must make. It is more that we need to discipline ourselves to protect everyone and when we begin to fail in that, some corrective events begin to happen. Some of those corrective events can actually be disastrous.

That's best; there are other incompatibilities that are there when you have old (compiled on 5.2) versions of a library and you try and compile new software against them on 5.3. OK. But just to make sure I understand it right - does this mean that if I upgrade to 5.3, then those ports that depend on some incompatible library or are written in C++ do not work until they are recompiled? I'm aware that some of the library upgrades can be overcome with /etc/libmap.conf, but apparently this doesn't get it all. Correct on both counts. I guess I was lucky in that all my important ports: postfix, amavisd-new, cyrus-imapd, mod_php, mysql40-server and apache2 survived the OS upgrade without the need to re-compile them. I *am* still planning to re-compile them anyway, I'm just glad I didn't *have* to do it all in one night.

The file system being read-only has nothing to do with your login problem. I do not recognize what is going on with your login problem, and cannot help you there, but I can advise you on the read-only status. You can issue a mount command to remount (or initially mount) the filesystems you need to try to solve your problem. I won't try to tell you which filesytems you need or want, but many people will use a mount -a after single-user boot to do system maintenance. -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How much HDD space does FreeBSD need?
Well, I have just formatted the portion that FreeBSD is placed. And I have just been reinstalling the whole system again. I found that the disk shortage does not come from gnome but from OpenOffice 1.1 installation. Then, would OpenOffice require a large HDD space? (If it does, how much large?) For your reference, I have partitioned (and labeled) the disk by using Auto Allocation(?) option in FreeBSD disk labeler. Thank you.

The FreeBSD installation was of no problem. However, once I tried to upgrade Gnome 2.8 to 2.10, I've faced up a warning message at some point that I am running out of HDD space.

Actually, if the compile crashes out at different points, that's almost a sure sign of a hardware issue, most probably overheating. If you were just running the system as a network router before, that involves so little load that you wouldn't stress anything, but building world is a good stress test and marginal cooling will show symptoms like what you've described. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
