I meant Can you tell me the answer to this question so I don't have to download it then see if I can figure it out? Is it classical, church, or scientifically bastardized Latin (for instance)? I'm curious. Yes, to all of the above. It has a chart showing a few pronunciations including classical which it describes as the reconstructed ancient pronunciation. It even includes an English method which is basically pronouncing Latin words as if they were English words. Okay, thanks. That answers my question, and makes me want to actually download the thing. I know that in at least some contexts the Latin pronunciation is more dee than dai for daemon, and that dee is the pronunciation generally considered correct for server processes in Unix systems. Beyond that, it's entirely possible there are other pronunciations of which I am not aware -- though I'm pretty sure day is solely an artifact of people trying to figure out how to pronounce terms that contain the ae (or the æ ligature) without actually trying to look it up. The above document describes ae in classical pronunciation as like ai in aisle and in all other pronunciations like Latin ē. It describes Latin ē in all pronunciations, except the English method, as like a in plate. Going by the above the first syllable of daemon could be pronounced like day. That's rather contrary to what I had learned (which is, admittedly, not a whole lot). I'll give the document a look.

8.1-RELEASE ia64
Hi
I would like to install FreeBSD-8.1 ia64, so I downloaded
FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-ia64-disc1.iso.
When I boot from a burnt CD, the screen keeps black, with the
blinkingunderscore,
nothing else happend.
When I make an USB bootable stick, I've got a message saying that
/boot/loader was not found.
Having a look into /boot, I noticed that indeed, there's no loader anymore.
But there a loader.efi, which wasn't in FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE (the last I
tried).
I tried copying loader.efi to loader, but as expected, it says me 'invalid
format' and still does not want to boot...
What happened to loader?
Did I download the wrong iso?
Did I miss something?
Also, why other archs have their -memstick.img, and ia64 have not?

The canonical way of doing this is to either create a RAID-0 concat or stripe volume. Using RAID-0 striping is preferred due to performance, but you'd need to backup, reformat using a RAID-0 stripe, and then restore your data onto the new volume.

Hi
I would like to install FreeBSD-8.1 ia64, so I downloaded
FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-ia64-disc1.iso.
When I boot from a burnt CD, the screen keeps black, with the
blinkingunderscore,
nothing else happend.
When I make an USB bootable stick, I've got a message saying that
/boot/loader was not found.
Having a look into /boot, I noticed that indeed, there's no loader
anymore. But there a loader.efi, which wasn't in FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE (the
last I tried).
I tried copying loader.efi to loader, but as expected, it says me
'invalid
format' and still does not want to boot...
Perfectly normal and to be expected. IA64 utilizes a different boot loader
paradigm known as EFI. More info on EFI can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface
What happened to loader?
Did I download the wrong iso?
Probably. The IA64 architecture is a completely different beast than x86.
If
your processor is a Xeon or some other regular Intel desktop type you need
to use the amd64 iso image.
Did I miss something?
Also, why other archs have their -memstick.img, and ia64 have not?
Maybe IA64 will not boot from USB because of the EFI boot loader
requirement.

Re: 1 file system, 2 drives?
If you have hardware controller with RAID capabilities, using native RAID is better, otherwise look towards gvinum or maybe ccd; see also: I've just been reading up on RAID in my Absolute FreeBSD book, and it occurs to me that my client has a SCSI RAID drive chassis that he is using stupidly... It's a 14 bay drive, and he's currently got seven 32G drives stuck in it, configured with RAID-0. This is the original 200G drive I was talking about. It's a few years old. Over the next few years, this guy is going to need lots of storage for his videos. After a bit of reading, I'm wondering if the best idea might be to toss out those 32G drives and replace them with 3 big (say, 300G) drives configured with RAID-5. It sounds to me like a RAID-5 array can be expanded by adding new drives. QUESTION: is expansion normally a matter of just plugging in a new drive? Is the new drive automatically grafted onto the old drives? Or do you have to go through a process like, backing up the data, plugging in the new drive, reformatting the expanded array of drives, and restoring the data. I don't know the brand/model of the RAID drive chassis, but the client thinks it can be switched to use RAID 5. I'm waiting for the technical details, but assuming it can handle RAID-5 for now.

Answering my own question... So its a HP 6402 / 128 RAID controller. From a quick skim of the manual, it looks like the controller has to go through an 'expansion' process when adding a new drive. This sounds time consuming, but more or less automatic -- i.e., handled by the controller. Sounds like this might be the best way to go. -- John ___ 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: 1 file system, 2 drives?
From my experience (YMMV), most RAID controllers will NOT redistribute the existing data/files onto the newly added drives. So, if you have a (3) drive RAID5 your file exists on all three drives, as does the parity data. If you add (2) drives, your original files will not be on the new drives. New files WILL use all (5) drives. IMHO it's best to backup the data (twice), create a new volume on the new RAID, and restore the data. That said, maybe better/newer RAID controllers will redistribute / balance existing data across all drives in the array - I don't know for sure. Either way, backup your data - twice! And make sure it can be restored! Just because the backup app SAYS it's OK, it's NOT OK until it can be successfully restored! Also, if you go from (7) drives to (3), your I/O may suffer. Newer faster drives MAY make up the difference, or make up enough of it that it won't impact your client. Just be aware this is a potential issue. Generally speaking more spindles = more I/O's / sec.

One cannot claim to be tolerant while demonstrating intolerance any more than one can claim to be educated without every having read a book. How perspicacious of you. I'll quote myself basically saying exactly that -- that I am not particularly interested in dialog with someone who, I'm sure, has already made up his or her mind: In any case, I didn't claim to be tolerant. In fact, I very specifically said I was sure someone would accuse me of intolerance, and went on to explain that I am guilty of intolerance of those who are intolerant themselves. Why are you just repeating what I have said, but in the tone of an accusation? How intolerant are *you* today? Not all education comes from books, by the way (though I personally have read many, many books, and quite enjoy the activity of reading). While I normally prefer to take an inclusive approach to dealing with people who run into obstacles in their approach to thinking about OSes, there are cases where I simply feel the urge to throw my hands in the air and giving up on someone. Such cases are those where it seems likely that some kind of closed-minded idolatry (which is exactly what this is: taking a cartoony mascot as some kind of Manifest Presence of a supernatural, superhuman Force, Principle, or Being) is going on. Either you will get over it, or you will not, and it is only a very faint hope that pointing out the ludicrousness of your objection that compels me to respond at all. Is that clear enough for you? It's amazing to me the ridicule heaped upon the man for asking a question. Would it have been too difficult to simply answer the question, as the first response did? No, we have to attack the man for having beliefs that are different from our own. Because we're so enlightened? Or because we are even more ignorant than we suppose he is? I *did* answer the question before heaping ridicule on someone who, as I stated, I believe had already made up his or her mind, and had no genuine interest in dialog in the first place. My attack, by the way, had *zero* to do with anyone's beliefs being different from my own -- as you might have noticed if you bothered to read and understand what I said. Skimming it for excuses to accuse me of religious intolerance doesn't work as well as you might think. You're a self-righteous git, and probably personally offended by the appearance of an attack on Christianity (which is never what was intended, nor even what happened, at least in the case of the specific email to which you replied).

apps update from ports
Hello fellas, I was wondering about your update strategy. Do you update your apps as soon as a new version is available in the ports ? Or do you follow the if it works, don't touch it strategy ? I'm guessing portupgrade is your preferred way of doing this hence, do you also choose -P or -PP ? ___ 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
