All environment variables mentioned in the documentation for the fetch(3) library are supported. A number of these are quite important to the proper operation of fetch; you are strongly encouraged to read fetch(3) as well. Ah, here is it: - ENVIRONMENT FETCH_BIND_ADDRESS Specifies a hostname or IP address to which sockets used for outgoing connections will be bound. FTP_LOGIN Default FTP login if none was provided in the URL. FTP_PASSIVE_MODEIf set to anything but `no', forces the FTP code to use passive mode. FTP_PASSWORDDefault FTP password if the remote server requests one and none was provided in the URL. FTP_PROXY URL of the proxy to use for FTP requests. The docu- ment part is ignored. FTP and HTTP proxies are sup- ported; if no scheme is specified, FTP is assumed. If the proxy is an FTP proxy, libfetch will send [EMAIL PROTECTED]' as user name to the proxy, where `user' is the real user name, and `host' is the name of the FTP server. If this variable is set to an empty string, no proxy will be used for FTP requests, even if the HTTP_PROXY variable is set. ftp_proxy Same as FTP_PROXY, for compatibility. HTTP_AUTH Specifies HTTP authorization parameters as a colon- separated list of items. The first and second item are the authorization scheme and realm respectively; further items are scheme-dependent. Currently, only basic authorization is supported. Basic authorization requires two parameters: the user name and password, in that order. This variable is only used if the server requires authorization and no user name or password was speci- fied in the URL. HTTP_PROXY URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests. The docu- ment part is ignored. Only HTTP proxies are sup- ported for HTTP requests. If no port number is spec- ified, the default is 3128. Note that this proxy will also be used for FTP docu- ments, unless the FTP_PROXY variable is set. http_proxy Same as HTTP_PROXY, for compatibility. HTTP_PROXY_AUTH Specifies authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy in the same format as the HTTP_AUTH variable. This variable is used if and only if connected to an HTTP proxy, and is ignored if a user and/or a pass- word were specified in the proxy URL. HTTP_REFERERSpecifies the referrer URL to use for HTTP requests. If set to ``auto'', the document URL will be used as referrer URL. HTTP_USER_AGENT Specifies the User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests. This can be useful when working with HTTP origin or proxy servers that differentiate between user agents. NETRC Specifies a file to use instead of ~/.netrc to look up login names and passwords for FTP sites. See ftp(1) for a description of the file format. This feature is experimental. EXAMPLES To access a proxy server on proxy.example.com port 8080, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable in a manner similar to this: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080 If the proxy server requires authentication, there are two options avail- able for passing the authentication data. The first method is by using the proxy URL: HTTP_PROXY=http://user:pwd@proxy.example.com:8080 The second method is by using the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH environment variable: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080 HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:user:pwd - Particularly, I am interested in two environmental variables: FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY. I may use it as: #env FTP_PROXY=hostnme:port make install clean

using 5-STABLE packages with 5.4 RELEASE
Hey all.. I have a sort of question regarding FreeBSD and its port system. Please do bear with me, since I'm a newbie in the whole *nix world, especially with BSD like systems. My question is... Is it possible to use the latest Samba package with the 5.4-RELEASE? Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade the RELEASE distibution to -STABLE for that to work? Is using a package from the STABLE ports tree with the RELEASE system an insane thing to do? A quote from the FreeBSD HandBook: pkg_add(1) will download the latest version of your application if you are using FreeBSD-CURRENT or FreeBSD-STABLE. If you run a -RELEASE version, it will grab the version of the package that was built with your release. It is possible to change this behavior by overriding the PACKAGESITE environment variable So, my guess is it can be done or am I wrong? I wanna use release version for my production servers, but in the same time I would like to use the latest available Samba package for FreeBSD. Is this doable?? Thanks for your time...

disappeared options dialog when installing ports
Hi, I have a (simple) question about installing from the ports coll. The 1st time I issued `make install`in /usr/ports/www/firefox it showed a configuration menu where I could select things like xfs.

I even tried to delete the firefox ports directory and did a cvsup - but that dialog didn't show up. How can I set these installation options once I already installed a port. Where are these options saved on the harddrive? Will I have to run the configure script by hand?

As you suggested, I compared these with diff, ignoring the gratuitous spacing modification using diff -b. In the end, I don't think I can consider even one of your changes to be an improvement. The closest you came to a useful change was the capitalisation of Real memory, but that's hardly necessary, and the accompanying change to the next line upsets the formatting. Ofcourse it doesn't improve the functionality. And I get the feeling that's what you're all about. Indeed, you understand correctly. Functionality is exactly what the BSD family of OSs is all about. Most kernel developers are busy with activities like improving system performance on multi-CPU systems, increasing OS reliability with SATA drives, and other activities of a deep and essential nature. I don't generally tell the kernel developers what to do, because I know that they know their own knowledge domain far better than I do. [...] In short, I think you should find some other way to pretty up your FreeBSD boot. As suggested earlier, try man splash. Again, I want it to look correct. The appearance is a matter of personal taste, and de gustibus non disputandum. Your claim that your personal preference is correct does not cause other people to prefer it. It should be clear by now that you are getting nowhere trying to persuade others to implement this for you, so your only course is to implement it yourself. If these changes matter a great deal to you, I suggest you invest the sweat to change it on your own system. You have all the sources, you have the power. If you don't know how yet, you have the opportunity to learn. If you succeed and post public patches to do it, then others can share the changes if they wish, and you will get some smidgen of positive recognition and credibility. If this matters so much to you, it should be worth your effort. If you are incapable of making these changes, then your preferences will get some smidgin less weight, as there will be that much less evidence that your opinions should be valued. The open source world is largely a meritocracy and technocracy; this is not to say that politics and opinions play no part, but generally speaking working code wins. Mostly people in the OSS world take it for granted that others understand this, which may be why nobody has told you this in so many words before now. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiki Technologies Lead Programmer/Software Architect I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green And whip-smart as the English Channel's wide... -- 'Whip-Smart', Liz Phair -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf -- ___ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade the RELEASE distibution to -STABLE for that to work? Is using a package from the STABLE ports tree with the RELEASE system an insane thing to do? It's mostly expected to work, although some packages are tied to a particular kernel version and may not work on systems other than that for which they were built. samba should be fine though. I've never had a problem with a port that was related running -RELEASE(*). The likelihood of this happening is really quite slim. Many, many people run -RELEASE versions because they want the stability, and because not all machines can be rebooted at whim. All these people have tons of ports installed, which they more than likely keep up to date. I'm sure Kris is correct that, in theory, some port could fail on a -RELEASE version, but it really is very unlikely. It is very much more unlikely with something like samba which runs on many different operating systems. In short, keep your ports up to date! (But read /usr/ports/UPDATING).

Trying to set rules to let a local network only connection to a Samba
server running on my FreeBSD machine. I'm a FreeBSD newbie.
Below is the rules file. The strange thing is this works fine when
logging into the Samba server from a OS X, but no go with WinXP. I can
connect to the Samba server from WinXP if the IPFW is not loaded.
Any ideas?
Don't know anything about ipfw, but you need to pass TCP and UDP 135-139
for NetBIOS to work, or change network settings in Windows to make it use
TCP/UDP port 445 instead.

problems with pop3 daemons
Im running a mailserver on FreeBSD 5.4, for some time now im experiencing problems with downloading large messages (above 1 mb but i don't know from which size it starts) through pop3: After about 30 secs of downloading, the download just hangs, qpopper's output to the logs is: ay 11 16:31:00 loki qpopper[57578]: I/O error flushing output to client xxx Operation not permitted (1). I tried to switch pop3 daemon, and tried popd, pop3lite and pop3ad.. all did the same thing but didn't report anything.. im using ipfw to limit the bandwidth to port 110 with the following rules: pipe 1 config bw 16KByte/s add pipe 1 tcp from me 110 to any although I tried turning ipfw off and got the same results. Im also using pf as my firewall and allowing ICMP with the following rules: pass in on $ext_if inet proto icmp from any to any keep state pass out on $ext_if inet proto icmp all keep state what can be the problem ?! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Hardware RAID 5 - Need vinum?
The problem I've had in the past in Windows for example: Drive D: is a RAID5 volume, 400GB, nearly full. If I add a 200GB drive to the array, the 'disk' that Drive D: resides on is now ~600GB, but Drive D: will remain 400GB. I would have to utilize a third party piece of software to resize Drive D: to utilize all 400GB, or create another partition to use that extra 200GB. In my case. /media/video will still only have 400GB available to it. I'm creating one partition on the array with one slice. My understanding then is if I go into the label editor after adding my new drive, I'll have 200GB of free space, and I could create another slice and another mountpoint, but not simply add that additional space to my original slice and mountpoint at /media/video. Now, since I originally posted this message, I did more digging, and found some posts regarding growfs. Perhaps that command is what I'm looking for, and would allow me to grow /media/video to use all 600GB in that case. Now my only concern is whether or not the SX6000 support nondestructively growing a RAID5 array. If I'm right about growfs that is. :) On Wed, 11 May 2005, Subhro wrote: On 5/11/2005 2:35, Tony Shadwick wrote: What my concern is when I start to fill up the ~400GB of space I'm giving myself with this set. I would like to simply insert another 200GB drive and expand the array, allowing the hardware raid to do the work. That is what everybody does. It is very much normal. The problem I see with this is that yes, the /dev/(raid driver name)0 will now be that much larger, however the original partition size and the subsequent slices will still be the original size. I could not understand what you meant by RAID device entry would be larger. The various entries inside the /dev are nothing but sort of handles to the various devices present in the system. If you want to manipulate or utilize some device for a particular device present on your box from a particular application, then you can reference the same using the handles in the /dev. And the handles remains the same in size irrespective of whether you have 1 hard disk or 100 hard disks in some kind of RAID. Do I need to (and is there a way?) to utilize vinum and still allow the hardware raid controller to do the raid5 gruntwork and still have the ability to arbitrarily grow the volume as needed? The only other solution I see is to use vinum to software-raid the set of drives, leaving it as a glorified ATA controller card, and the cpu/ram of the card unitilized and burden the system CPU and RAM with the task. The main idea in favor of using Hardware RAID solutions over software RAID solutions is you can let the CPU do things which are more worthwhile than managing I/O. The I/O can be well handled and is indeed better handled by the chip on the RAID controller card than the CPU. If you add another disk to your RAID or replace a dead disk at any point of time, then the RAID card should automatically detect the change and rebuild the volumes as and when required. This would be completely transparent to the OS and sometimes also transparent to the user.

Re: IPFW/Samba does not work with WinXP (but with MacOS 10.3)
OK - problem solved. Not sure if this was an obvious one or not (ok
probably was) - I added the freebsd machine name and ip to the WinXP
hosts file and it works now.

Hello folks:
Trying to set rules to let a local network only connection to a Samba
server running on my FreeBSD machine. I'm a FreeBSD newbie.
Below is the rules file. The strange thing is this works fine when
logging into the Samba server from a OS X, but no go with WinXP. I can
connect to the Samba server from WinXP if the IPFW is not loaded.
Any ideas?
Don't know anything about ipfw, but you need to pass TCP and UDP 135-139
for NetBIOS to work, or change network settings in Windows to make it use
TCP/UDP port 445 instead.

Re: I need further HDD advice before submitting order.
Jerry, thank you so much. Make a file system out of the 'unallocated' space now even if you don't decide on a mount point or use until later. Does it matter what I call that file system i.e. can I change it easily later on from the command line? Can I just call the free space on the 1st HDD /freea, and on the 2nd /freeb ? And should I be dividing each into more than just one file system? I don't know what you expect to put in all that /usr space if you also have a /home and a /local (which would be /usr/local in reality). But, there is no harm. Thanks, I'll bump both /usr and /local down to 10GB each, increasing the free space from 40 to 50GB. The system uses swap space for its business regardless of how much ram you have - even if it is not forced to swap to have enough space. It uses it for paging as well as swap too. Thanks, didn't think of that. Am I right to assume that paging isn't massively intensive? And that it's still a good idea to have all the swap on the 1st HDD (as opposed to split between the two) because it will be balanced out anyway by tmp, home and var on the 2nd HDD.

best practices for administration
Since the BSD community seems to be more security conscious than other (read windows system administrators) groups, I wanted to see if anyone here would have any pointers to best practices documents when administering ANY operating system, not just FreeBSD. I am assuming that many of you must manage other operating systems as well. The nexus of my query lies in my attempt to have our central IT folks issue additional identities for users to have when administering the systems versus doing productivity work on them. I'd like to understand what is done generally when granting users permissions to do things on the operating system that imply 'administration', ie installing software, adding printers, modifying system scripts, etc. There are some here who think that putting standard user ID's into administrative 'groups' is sufficient for granting such priveledges. hopefully, I'm not being too obscure. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax:480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: I need further HDD advice before submitting order.
Jerry, thank you so much. Make a file system out of the 'unallocated' space now even if you don't decide on a mount point or use until later. Does it matter what I call that file system i.e. can I change it easily later on from the command line? Can I just call the free space on the 1st HDD /freea, and on the 2nd /freeb ? And should I be dividing each into more than just one file system? You don't need to mount it until you decide what to do with it so, no, it doesn't need to be called anything. The system uses swap space for its business regardless of how much ram you have - even if it is not forced to swap to have enough space. It uses it for paging as well as swap too. Thanks, didn't think of that. Am I right to assume that paging isn't massively intensive? And that it's still a good idea to have all the swap on the 1st HDD (as opposed to split between the two) because it will be balanced out anyway by tmp, home and var on the 2nd HDD. I wouldn't call it massively intensive - unless you do run low on memory.I tend to prefer splitting it between drives, but I suspect it doesn't really matter a lot unless you get to the point of running low on memory. One more thing. Do not use the socalled 'dangerously dedicated' disk setup. Just make one regular slice on each disk that uses all of the disk. Then partition those slices. You won't notice the difference in amount of available disk and you might save yourself some headaces later on. That should be plenty for /tmp Okay, so, my provisional setup at the moment is: P4 2.8Mhz FSB 533, 2GB RAM 80GB HDD IDE: / = 1GB /usr = 10GB /local = 10GB Swap = 4GB /freea = 50GB 200GB HDD IDE: /tmp = 2GB (is that enough?) /home = 28GB /var = 100GB (will inclube the forum databases etc) /freeb = 70GB How does that sound? Again, I would be very grateful for any and all advice and opinions. Well, I would do it differently, but I am only responsible for my machines and not yours. I would put all of the standard partitions on the smaller disk (/, /tmp, /usr, /var, and even /home if you don't need any more than 28GB, plus a chunk of the swap) I would not make a separate /usr/local. I would divide up the large disk between some swap and all the rest in one big partition for spill. Then as things grew and began to outstrip their space on the smaller drive, I would just move the the specific directories on to the larger drive and make symlinks. That way I don't have to pre-guess how much any part is going to grow. I also would not have to mess with growfs or anything like that. So, my more likely allocation would be something like: On the 80 GB drive /root1 GB swap 2.5 GB /tmp 2 GB /usr 5 GB /var 5 GB /home64GB (eg. all the rest, see size notes below) On the 200 GB drive swap 2.5 GB /spill 197 GB (eg. all the rest, see size notes below) Things that might be likely to need moving to /spill would be /var/db, /var/mail, /var/spool, /usr/ports, /usr/local. Keep in mind that a nominal 80 GB drive will look like 74.5 GB to the system because of the difference in the manufacturer's definition of a GB (80 billion in decimal) and the system's definition in which a GB is 2^30 or 1,073,741,824. Similarly, the 200 GB drive will really be 186.26 GB in system style GBs. That gets written off as a matter of semantics. But it is really a marketing ploy similar to the gas stations naming their prices with the .9 on the end as in 205.9 cents per gallon rather than just making it 206 cents so people will think 205 rather than 206. But, to add to this, once you get your 74.5 GB drive and start to set it up, when you newfs the partitions to make file systems out of them, you will lose some more to space it needs for superblocks and pionters. And then when the file system is mounted, it will reserve 0.08 (eg 8 per cent) to deal with system issues. So, in reality, your advertised 80 GB drive will yield about 65 GB for regular use. The advertised 200 GB drive will yield about 163 GB after newfs and system reserve. So, with that in mind, you may also want to rethink the size of your partitions. Allocating 1 GB will yield about 830 MB filesystem, etc. Or, to get a 5 GB filesystem, you would need to allocate about 6 GB for the partition before newfs and system reserve. One more thing to think about is the possibility of creating a raid (mirror) for critical things. That would give you some security in case of a disk crash. In that case you would need to put your critical stuff on the smaller drive and carve out an identical size piece on the large one to be its mirror partner. Check out vinum(8). That, of necessity, would make your allocation scheme look quite different. jerry Thanks, Donnacha jerry I decided not to use GPT because, although it sounds great, it seems a little complicated for a
Re: best practices for administration
David Bear wrote: Since the BSD community seems to be more security conscious than other (read windows system administrators) groups, I wanted to see if anyone here would have any pointers to best practices documents when administering ANY operating system, not just FreeBSD. I am assuming that many of you must manage other operating systems as well. Sure. You could start with the networking section of the FreeBSD Handbook, or maybe the O'Reilley books (TCP IP Network Admin, Building Internet Firewalls). If you want to get serious about the matter, follow: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html#BCPbyBCP ...until you understand RFC-1149. (No smiling in the back, there!)

The nexus of my query lies in my attempt to have our central IT folks issue additional identities for users to have when administering the systems versus doing productivity work on them. I'd like to understand what is done generally when granting users permissions to do things on the operating system that imply 'administration', ie installing software, adding printers, modifying system scripts, etc. There are some here who think that putting standard user ID's into administrative 'groups' is sufficient for granting such priveledges. hopefully, I'm not being too obscure. It would help to have a context. Are you a manager overseeing a team of sysadmins, are you talking about employees managing stuff on the company fileserver, or are we talking about an ISP and their customers, or are you simply writing a term paper on the subject? :-) Anyway, a really good starting point is using sudo to grant people, or groups of people, controlled access to superuser capabilities.

Re: Boot loader doesn't see [root filesystem on] ATA disk after successful install
--- Joel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From what little I've seen, it could be worth a try if you have the time. Ok, I tried booting the loader on the SCSI disk, and then telling it to boot the kernel on the IDE disk. In this case it just beeped and returned me to the prompt to select a disk (F1 or F5) to boot from. The lsdev command on this boot loader gave the same results as the one booted from the IDE disk. From what I've read and what I've experienced, putting hard disks and CD-ROMs on the same channel is counterproductive. Boot problems and data problems are said to be likely on many controller and drive combinations. I know, and I wouldn't have done that except that I was surprised to find out that this PC only has one socket for an IDE cable. It has two on-board IDE controllers though! (this is an HP Kayak XU with dual PII processors, a little on the old side, but it's the only i386 SMP system that I have access to at the moment). If you can boot from the SCSI, check the dmesg there to see whether the ATA controller is recognized by the older system. That wouldn't give an absolute answer, but might yield a clue. The older system can see the CD-ROM drive, so it must be recognizing the ATA controller. I'll post the relevant dmesg output tomorrow though.

I'm now building a server for myself at home, and I'm creating a large volume to store video. I have purchased 3 200GB EIDE hard drives, and a 6 channel Promise SX6000 ATA RAID controller. I know how to set up a RAID5 set, and create a mountpoint (say /media/video). What my concern is when I start to fill up the ~400GB of space I'm giving myself with this set. I would like to simply insert another 200GB drive and expand the array, allowing the hardware raid to do the work. The problem I see with this is that yes, the /dev/(raid driver name)0 will now be that much larger, however the original partition size and the subsequent slices will still be the original size. Do I need to (and is there a way?) to utilize vinum and still allow the hardware raid controller to do the raid5 gruntwork and still have the ability to arbitrarily grow the volume as needed? The only other solution I see is to use vinum to software-raid the set of drives, leaving it as a glorified ATA controller card, and the cpu/ram of the card unitilized and burden the system CPU and RAM with the task. What you need here is not Vinum (which would replace the hardware RAID array), but growfs. You'd need that with Vinum as well. There have been issues with growfs in the past; last time I looked it hadn't been updated to handle UFS 2. If you don't need the UFS 2 functionality, you might be better off using UFS 1 if you intend to grow the file system. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Re: I need further HDD advice before submitting order.
Chuck and Jerry, thank you so much. Chuck - I'm going to take your advice on setting up some kind of mirror, software RAID or whatever, thanks. Jerry - that breakdown of how you would allocate space was amazing - seriously, a better division and a better explanation than anything I've found in the FreeBSD books. The idea of allocating almost the entire 2nd drive to /spill is great, that will give me all the flexibility I need, brilliant! Some One more thing to think about is the possibility of creating a raid (mirror) for critical things. That would give you some security in case of a disk crash. In that case you would need to put your critical stuff on the smaller drive and carve out an identical size piece on the large one to be its mirror partner. Check out vinum(8). That, of necessity, would make your allocation scheme look quite different. Can I provide that space from within /spill i.e. without having to set up a seperate partition, or would I be better off just creating an 80GB partition for that on the 2nd drive, to be named and mounted as soon as I learn enough to implement RAID/mirroring/Vinum? That would leave me with the following: On the 80 GB drive /root1 GB swap 2.5 GB /tmp 2 GB /usr 5 GB /var 5 GB /homeAll the rest On the 200 GB drive swap 2.5 GB /mirror Same size as the actual size of the 1st disk, 65GB or whatever. /spill All the rest Does that make sense? I guess that, as my usage grows, I'll be shifting things over with a mind to both disk use balance and space, do you reckon those factors will be fairly easy to work out? From your suggestion that I can symlink stuff over to /spill with a reasonably fine granularity i.e. /var/spool and/or /var/db etc, I get the impression that it will be. Do symlink cause any sort of performance hit? Or rather, any meaningful performance hit?

MySQL port building solution: -O is required
Here is the answer to the problem I was wrestling with a couple weeks ago: /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server and /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server do *not* build on 4.x systems unless *some* level of optimization is turned on. 'CFLAGS=' fails on 4.x releases; 'CFLAGS=-O' works. (as does -O -pipe and probably higher levels.) Not tested on 5-STABLE. I'm guessing that the machines where ports building is tested have '-O -pipe' or similar as a minimum setting. However /etc/make.conf has no default setting for CFLAGS, so with the out of box default settings of everything the build of this port will consistently fail. The problem appears to be, from some cursory digging through the sources, that a number of MySQL functions including MySQL's internal interfaces to the thread libraries are defined only via inlining if the OS *platform* is known to support it, but inlining is not actually enabled (at least in GCC 2.95) unless -O or better is set. I tracked this down once I realized that the key difference between the system where I could build it and the system where I couldn't was that the former's /etc/make.conf was heavily customized, and the latter's was untouched except for the variables set by use.perl ports. I'll file a pr on this, as well as the necessary tweaking on my own system. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiki Technologies Lead Programmer/Software Architect I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green And whip-smart as the English Channel's wide... -- 'Whip-Smart', Liz Phair ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: I need further HDD advice before submitting order.
Thanks Clifton, much appreciated. If / gets damaged in a failed upgrade or just via bad luck, you're nearly assured of being able to boot off of /altroot to repair things. It's the kind of thing you might use only once in several years but which saves you a ton of grief then. Sounds well worth allocating 1GB to! Once I get Vinum working, though, does it make sense to continue maintaining an /altroot? (Mind you, in your remote data center situation, you would need to talk a technician on the console through the steps to boot from it; make sure you know how to do that.) Oh, I figure that if they know how to install FreeBSD, they'll be able to work out how to boot from /altroot. Of course, they'll charge me $50 to do it, I just hope it's something that isn't needed too often! 2) Take the extra space that you're marking as unallocated, create and newfs the partitions as /data (or sometimes /data, /data2, /data3...), and go ahead and mount it. Then when you run into some application that needs to use it, you can either symlink it into the main filesystem or configure the application to go directly there. For example, ln -s /data /var/db/mysql or CVSROOT=/data/cvs That's clearly a better idea than my original one of leaving the space unallocated. Does your approach have any advantages, though, over Jeremy's /spill idea?
