mount problems
How's it going? I'm having probelms mounting media within the gnome environment. The drive will grab the media but not read it nor unmount it. I've edited policykit so that root:operator and perm 0660 are enabled. Fstab has /dev/acd0 has been commented out. Rc.conf has hal,dbus, and gnome enabled. Kdm login manager if that helps any. _ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222986/direct/01/___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: error output redirection
what is easily done with tee for stdout cannot be done for stderr. Looks like there is no easy way to make a pipeline using stderr separately from stdout. If you want to watch output of the stderr separately from stdout, you might manage for it in two consoles: % foo 2err % tail -f err Markiyan.

restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
Hi all, A little background: I'm writing a script that will allow me to restore(8) a standard FreeBSD partition to multiple machines. So far, I'm at the 'see if it works in principle' stage, and I'm finding something strange. My procedure: * Start with an empty hard drive (ad0). * Boot off the FreeBSD CD, enter the live CD filesystem shell (Fixit - Live CD Filesystem) * Create a single slice with fdisk that spans the entire disk (fdisk -i /dev/ad0) * Create a single partition with bsdlabel that spans the entire slice (bsdlabel -w /dev/ad0s1) * Install the FreeBSD Boot Loader (boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0) * Format and restore the dumpfile (newfs /dev/ad0s1a mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt cd /mnt ssh storagebox dd if=home/aj/image.dump | restore -rvf - * Unmount /mnt and restart. The steps work fine... on physical hardware. The restored image boots up fine. As a VM guest, running in either VMWare or VirtualBox, it don't work. Everything appears to go fine, but when I get to the boot loader, pressing F1 just makes the PC speaker beep at me. Any pointers would be appreciated. I'm using FreeBSD 6.4.

Fetchmail freaks out
Hi Daemons, there happen strange things when I boot my laptop, FreeBSD 7.2, Fetchmail 6.3.11 (newest). .. Starting fetchmail. Starting fetchmail. fetchmail: can't accept options while a background fetchmail is running .. (Yes, the 'Starting' appears twice) My /etc/rc.conf contains: fetchmail_enable=YES My /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc contains: poll MYDOMAINNAME.COM, protocol pop3, no dns user MYUSERNAME there with password XX is MYUSERNAME here My /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail exists and is the default one from the port-install. That should be all the files I have. Fetchmail even works, but: What are these double starting-messages (#ps -ax shows just one fetchmail running)? What am I doing wrong? How to get rid of it?

Mountable encrypted file? What to use?
Since TrueCrypt doesn't work on FreeBSD, I'm wondering what you'd recommend for this: I like to keep all of my sensitive stuff in a few encrypted mountable files. Something where I can copy the file to a USB key for backup, but not worry if I lose the USB key since it's just an encrypted file. But when on a computer, I can mount it as a volume. On OS X, I use encrypted 'dmg' volumes. On Linux and Windows, I use TrueCrypt. What should I use on FreeBSD? It doesn't have to be portable. Something FreeBSD-only is fine.

[ports/science/paraview]: /usr/local/lib/paraview-2.4/tk8.4/tk.tcl: no event type or button # or keysym
Before posting a PR I'll ask whether this error I receive after a fresh
installation of paraview from ports today on FreeBSD 8.0-RC1/amd64 is an
serious issue or something related on misconfiguration.
Besides, tcl/tk 8.4 is up to date and present on the system.
Hope someone can help,

Personally, I use the standard boot blocks which don't allow multibooting but I don't multiboot BSD anyway. The standard boot blocks work by finding the first bsd slice, and booting it. I like the keyword find because it doesn't direct the boot blocks to something unfindable. :D Let me know the subsystem layout, and we'll work from there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

gmirror, gjournal and glabel - which order?
Hi all, I'm having a hard time trying to work out which order I should set up gmirror, glabel and gjournal on a new system. I want to journal my /home partition, label all the partitions for ease of reference, and use gmirror to save me in the event a disk goes bad. I am struggling to fit the pieces together conceptually in my mind. I understand the processes involved in setting each part separately - my problem is in trying to build this up in the right order so that it all makes sense. So far, I have labelled the primary drive and set up the journal. I have edited fstab to reflect the labels and journalled file system on /home. If I now build a mirror, don't I need to alter fstab to mount that and not the stuff in /dev/label? In which case, I guess I need to build the mirror first, and then set up labels and journals? I'm going round and round in circles here and none of the stuff I've read on the web enlightens me... :-/ Any insights or suggestions would be taken as a great kindness!

Dan When not mirroring, I first create the journals and then label the resulting ad.journal devices In case you are doing a gmirror device, you would not really need the separate label step - the gm device name won't change and gmirror is not affected if the device names of the individual disks change (the disks are marked as part of a mirror and scanned at startup). When you are creating the composite gmirror device you are effectively labeling it anyway i.e. gmirror label gm0... Now if you follow the usual tutorials found in the web you would be using gm0 / gm1 but you actually name it any way you wish. If you really need to label the separate gmirrored partitions, do it after setting up the mirror. Concerning the order of journals and mirroring, I create the journals first, then mirror the result.

Re: gmirror, gjournal and glabel - which order?

I want to journal my /home partition, label all the partitions for ease of reference, and use gmirror to save me in the event a disk goes bad. I am struggling to fit the pieces together conceptually in my mind. I understand the processes involved in setting each part separately - my problem is in trying to build this up in the right order so that it all makes sense. So far, I have labelled the primary drive and set up the journal. I have edited fstab to reflect the labels and journalled file system on /home. If I now build a mirror, don't I need to alter fstab to mount that and not the stuff in /dev/label? In which case, I guess I need to build the mirror first, and then set up labels and journals? I'm going round and round in circles here and none of the stuff I've read on the web enlightens me... :-/ Any insights or suggestions would be taken as a great kindness! Dan When not mirroring, I first create the journals and then label the resulting ad.journal devices In case you are doing a gmirror device, you would not really need the separate label step - the gm device name won't change and gmirror is not affected if the device names of the individual disks change (the disks are marked as part of a mirror and scanned at startup). When you are creating the composite gmirror device you are effectively labeling it anyway i.e. gmirror label gm0... Now if you follow the usual tutorials found in the web you would be using gm0 / gm1 but you actually name it any way you wish. If you really need to label the separate gmirrored partitions, do it after setting up the mirror. Concerning the order of journals and mirroring, I create the journals first, then mirror the result. This has always worked fine for me. Thanks much, Manoli. After posting, I came to more or less the same conclusion, but it's good to get confirmation from someone who clearly knows more about this stuff than I do! I'd still be interested to hear what others think/do. As ever, thanks for your time.

Re: restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
2009/10/13 Tim Judd taj...@gmail.com: Is the virtual machine using SCSI emulation to boot, or is it using IDE? SCSI drives are da(4), IDE drives are ata(4) [aka ad(4)] The dump was taken from an ad0 device on physical hardware, and I'm attempting to restore to the same, just on virtual hardware. If the boot blocks (maybe boot0 specific) point to an ad/ata device, and the virtual machine is SCSI, it won't find the boot sectors. So, if I make a dumpfile of / on an ad(4) device, I can't restore it to a da(4) device and expect it to boot? I guess at minimum I'll need two copies of this image if I want to roll it out on machines with both sorts of drive, right?

Netbooks good for FreeBSD?
I am thinking about buying a netbook. But I am afraid that WiFi wouldn't be supported. And all my previous attempts to make NDIS to work on FreeBD failed. Anybody has good experiences making netbooks work? Or better is there a hardware compatibility list for FreeBSD?

Re: Netbooks good for FreeBSD?
Hi, So far I have been able to get WiFi working on most netbooks I got, but honestly, FreeBSD is not the best for laptops. WiFi drivers are often a bit buggy (connection is dropping because of driver problems) and ACPI sleep modes never worked on my laptops. WiFi, ACPI sleep modes and graphic card support are the weakest points of FreeBSD for non-server usage according to me... Yuri wrote: I am thinking about buying a netbook.

Re: Demande de renseignements
Bonjour, je crois bien que c'est possible. La license BSD est beaucoup plus permittive que la license GPL. En pratique je crois que la seule restriction est de ne pas alterer la notice. Il n'est pas obligatiore de rendre disponible le code source comme avec la license GPL. Le copyright complet est dans le fichier COPYRIGHT dans le dossier racine de FreeBSD.
