Or do I need to delete the
symlink first and only then try to mount the new drive as /home?
- delete the symlink
- create a directory /home
- mount the new drive
- copy the files
- verify the copy is successful
- mv /usr/home /usr/home_old
- create a symlink from /usr/home to /home - i DONT know whether this is
necessary or not, but if you want to keep things as seamless as possible, you'd
need it (i dont even know what is supposed to be the real path - i thought
/usr/home was the real thing and /home just a shortcut).
- test /home
- when happy, delete /usr/home_old (else you wont have made any room in the
other drive ;)
BTW, why not just
- mv /usr/home /usr/home_old
- mkdir /home
- mount [new_drive] /home
- copy -r /usr/home_old/* /usr/home/ ( make sure you use an appropriate
command for copying the data - cp does not handle special files correctly -
check the archives for discussions on this subject).
- test and deleted old copy ?

Strange df output, including non-mounts
Hi guys, In the daily run output, the disk status always starts to look a bit strange on one of my machines. I think this starts after about three weeks of uptime. It never seems to cause any serious problems, but today I decided to find out why this happens. :) I couldn't find any answers on Google (or the list archives, which search function seems to be broken). df (both in the daily run and manual df -hi) starts showing mountpoints that are not mountpoints. Like var/spool and usr/local. Why these suddenly show up in the df output I'd like to know... :) The output looks like this: Disk status: df: libexec stats possibly stale df: lib stats possibly stale df: usr/lib stats possibly stale df: usr/sbin stats possibly stale df: usr/share stats possibly stale df: usr/bin stats possibly stale df: usr/man stats possibly stale df: usr/X11R6 stats possibly stale df: usr/libexec stats possibly stale df: usr/local/bin stats possibly stale df: usr/local/lib stats possibly stale df: var/spool stats possibly stale df: var/lib stats possibly stale df: var/run stats possibly stale df: var/log stats possibly stale df: jacco stats possibly stale df: tmp stats possibly stale df: dev stats possibly stale df: bin stats possibly stale df: proc stats possibly stale Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 5076307953238748817%/ devfs 11 0 100%/dev /dev/da0s1d 5076305877040825013%/tmp /dev/da0s1f 13694960 5729928 686943645%/usr /dev/da0s1e 1506190 124450014119690%/var_local devfs 11 0 100%/var/named/dev procfs 44 0 100%/proc /libexec 5076307953238748817%libexec /lib 5076307953238748817%lib /usr/lib13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/lib /usr/sbin 13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/sbin /usr/share 13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/share /usr/bin13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/bin /usr/man13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/man /usr/X11R6 13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/X11R6 /usr/libexec13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/libexec /usr/local/bin 13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib 13694960 5729862 686950245%usr/local/lib /var/spool 83886080 3969332 79916748 5%var/spool /var/lib83886080 3969332 79916748 5%var/lib /var/run83886080 3969332 79916748 5%var/run /var/log83886080 3969332 79916748 5%var/log /home/jail251658240 41213716 21044452416% jail /tmp 50763030598436422 7%tmp /dev 11 0 100%dev /bin 5076307953238748817%bin /proc 44 0 100%proc Anyone seen this or has any ideas?

ipnat + mysql replication
Hi, I have 4 FreeBSD servers in one location. A firewall/nat load balances between two web servers which hits a database server for content (also behind firewall/nat). The database server replicates from a remote location (outgoing connection), where the admin interface resides (different facility). The problem I'm having is that it's a fairly well-trafficked site. The ipnat entries table fills up quickly (30,000 I think is the max), and so I have to ipnat -F fairly often (every 5 minutes or so). The problem with this is that it kills any outgoing connections (like my mysql replication). Is there a way I can set the expiration for ipnat table entries, or setup mysql replication rules in ipnat.conf that will be ignored when ipnat -F is issued?

Just a guess, I never used it, but seen it from the manual. Another, more heavy solution, but maybe more robust, would be to have dual NIC in your mysql server and add a second firewall/nat. The mysql replication going through the second NIC and firewall.

I don't think the RTC battery being dead would affect sleep times. 5 hours in 1970 (or whenever) are the the same length as 5 hours now. If you want to anything more complex than can be achieved with cron, it's probably better to install one of the cron replacement ports, such as fcron. I don't see any reason why one of these couldn't run in parallel with the existing cron, or you can turn-off cron in rc.conf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Disklabel, partition d is usable or not ?

The 'b' partition is usually used for swap space, while the 'c' partition represents the whole disk. The 'd' partition can be used normally, AFAIK.

The cause for this confusion is the fact that patches 5 and 6 were for a userland utility (file) and a library (libarchive), not for the kernel. So for these patches, the kernel (which contains the release-level string) isn't rebuilt and so it isn't updated.

Chroot is a Unix thing, no way you can apply to Windaube.

So if you chroot at the user home dir, the user can only see his one directory.

Hi Prakash,
documentation is freely available on the internet - in particular the
FreeBSD
Handbook is available at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
but it is also available with the FreeBSD install CD
if you mean other than documentation, let me know and we'll see what we
can do.

But once it's mounted it's no different from any other partition, so there's nothing to stop you rsynching to another encrypted partition or creating an encrypted archive. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm currently looking for a cheap NVidia card with both analogue and digital output to use my old 21 CRT and the new 19 LCD but, as usual, there's very little info other than for Windows in the write ups/reviews. I've never used dual head before so I'm concerned that some cards might share resources to the extent that they are windows only . Maybe I'm seeing potential problems that aren't there? Budget is tight so I don't want to screw up the purchase. Cheap is word I'm looking for :-) You'll need to use the binary nvidia drivers, the open source nv driver doesn't support dual-head at all. So you run in to a couple of gotchas there. The first being that the nvidia drivers are i386 only, they aren't available for AMD64, and the second is that twinview has a sort of odd behavior when you use different resolutions on each monitor. It's hard to describe but the driver basically pretends that the resolutions are the same and then only draws what can be displayed of the smaller one, so there's desktop outside of the monitor that you can drag windows in to but obviously can't see. With regards to cards I've used the recent nvidia drivers and dual-head with everything from an fx5500 PCI card to 6200LE to 6600GT to 7200 cards. I've used the legacy drivers with various 4x00ti cards. Here are links to cards I've personally used with dual head in the sub $50 range USD. pci-e http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121080 agp http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127290 Thanks both to you and to Yuri for the quick and useful replies. Not having looked at dual head before I was unaware that the open source driver didn't do it. I'm sure I'd have found out eventually but you guys have saved me some head scratching time ;-) Screen res will be 1280x1024 on both and I'm using an i386 system. I'll probably end up with either a 6200 or maybe a 7600 if the budget will stretch.

Re: lang/php5 port present no options within sysinstall
I figured out that doing make config in /usr/ports/lang/php5 would bring up the screen the handbook was referring to. I'm guessing perhaps that somehow sysinstall sets that configuration for me automatically. eg: when I install apache web server I would assume that sysinstally would set the option to build mod_php. I was given the impression that I had to build apache and php5 from source which is something I'd be willing to do but like I was hinting at in my previous message I remember a time when sysinstall would just sort of do it all for me. Then again, I think that might have been through some apache+mod_php type package available in a previous versions. -Balin On 7/17/07, Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Balin Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: According to your handbook under the Apache HTTP Server section sysinstall is supposed to present me with an OPTIONS menu when I try to install lang/php5 but it never has and I've been pulling my hair out trying reinstall from scratch, etc. I noticed that I can build php from /usr/ports/lang/php5 but I remember a time when adding mod_php to an apache install wasn't nearly this complicated. Any thoughts? You probably set the options already. Try make config and see man ports for a more detailed explanation.

/dev/random in jails
Hello, I am attempting to run portions (if not all) of the software called HSphere inside of jailed subsystems of FreeBSD. I am able to create the jails no problem but the devices /dev/random and /dev/urandom are not created automatically in the jail despite the fact that a handful of other devices are mounted correctly when the jail is created. Is there a specific reason for these devices not being created in a jail or is there a way to create these devices so that they will be available inside a jail?

Dear all,
I was trying to make a working mail server using freebsd5.5-release and
courier MTA suites.
(you should move up to 6.x if you can, specially since it's a new installation )
What I need from this box basically are pop3 server, smtpserver, web admin
and webmail.
I install FreeBSD using #8216;developer#8217; canned andpull out
#8216;ports#8217; packages.
After the installation, I add these packages using pkg_addcommand in the
exact order.
'libltdl-1.5.22_2'
'libexecinfo-1.1_1.tbz'
'mime-support-3.39.1'
'pcre-7.1'
'm4-1.4.9'
'perl-5.8.8'
'gmake-3.81_2'
'gettext-0.16.1_3'
'libiconv-1.9.2_2'
'libtool-1.5.22_2'
'help2man_1.36.4_1'
'P5-gettext-1.05_1'
'P5-Net-CIDR-0.11'
'sysconftool-0.15'
'autoconf-2.59_2'
'automake-1.9.6_1'
'pkg-config-0.21'
'glib-2.12.12_2'
'gamin-0.1.8_1'
'courier-authlib-base-0.59.3'
'courier-0.54.0'
Every time I try to check the installation using showmodulescommand, I got
this message
where is this command 'showmodules' from ?
#8220;/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared objectlibstdc++.so.5 not found,
required by showmodules#8221;
I'm running 6.2-STABLE and I have libstdc++ as part of the base OS:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
I don't know whether 5.5 had libstdc++.so.5 - you can check in /usr/lib/ to see
what version is there. I think the problem stems from the fact that you used
binary packages (pkg_add -r) rather than building from source via the ports
system. Other than upgrading the OS to 6.x, you can try to see if those
packages you need are included in the 5.5 CD . Or build from source.
Can anyone point out what sins I have done badly and how towork around this
problem?
I#8217;m very sorry for my poor language since English isnot my native
language.
your English is fine :)
I very appreciate any help you could give me.
Best regards
Johan Hartono

Re: freebsd6.2Release shutdown problem
Last time, there was a mistake in the message, the return message should be : Automatic reboot in 15 seconds press a key on the console to abort,here is abort not reboot. And after perssing a key, the message below will show: Press a key on the console to reboot or switch off the system ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
