Without money, how would we keep score to know who is winning? By measuring ones contribution. This can be quantified by creating a system whereby one's output is measured. It is not a credit system, rather a combination of reputation (feedback of others) and how much produce or time you effect. Try to think ebay without the money, and instead of leaving feedback after every transaction you only leave the feedback just once (how do you feel about the other person? good/bad). Also, in this contribution based system you can change your mind about the other party at any time, whether you are still in a relationship or not. And, instead of having listings which get replaced they get renewed with updated quantities, so, you see, you could list TIME or PRODUCT and as you make more available you update your contribution system. I am looking to recruit developers for such an idea, and I have a partial prototype of a new discussion-decision-resolution website system partially created at tibble.net (it's not even prototype worthy yet, but it's getting there). Specificially, I suggest you read the IDEA page which explains more about my radical (and not new but only slightly different) way of organising ourselves as a race. Quantifiable without currency through better organisation. Lose the belief in the money system and the Queen of England will no longer control you from the capital of the whole financial institution which is London. (On a side note, Washington is the centre for military control and I think you know where the spiritual center is in the east). But don't mind me.

Hello folks: No doubt this will be easy for those with scritping abilities. I have a gazillion files by the same name and each contains the same line requiring the same change. But the problem is that they are in many different directories on a server with numerous domains. While I could handle the change using a single directory within my abilities, I'm unsure how to do a search and replace throughout the many domains and their directories. Don't want to mess up. Here's what I'm trying to do: # find all of the same filenames (copyright.htm) and then replace the year 2010 with 2011 in each file.

The following command should do the trick, I think.
find / -type f -name copyright.htm -exec sed -i .bak -e 's/Copyright ©
20../Copyright © 2011/g' {} \;
Basically the find(1) command locates the files you want to change, and than
for every file it calls sed(1) with the -i flag to do the in-place
editing. The originals are saved as copyright.htm.bak. If all goes well, you
can delete those.
Depending on the contents of the files, you might want to just replace 2010 by
2011, or use a little more context as I did in the example, to make sure only
the right numbers are replaced.

Of course, a purely automated replacement of the year without making any other
change is likely considered de minimus from a copyright perspective. You'd
need to make a more substantial change involving some original content for this
to be genuinely meaningful

I posted my short experience of using an SSD as a workstation drive and I'd be interested in hearing the experience of any other users. Problems? Praise? Let's hear it.

As SSDs go this was pretty primitive stuff. We had very few problems with this setup. This was just FAT, no special SSD support. I also have a netbook with an SSD I've used heavily for the last three years with no problems. My only complaint about that one is the write performance is rather slow, it being an SSD optimized for power consumption instead of speed. I would be curious to hear stories from people who actually *have* run into SSD failures related to write limitations. I've heard a lot of speculation but no actual anecdotes.

Back around 2005 / 2006, we were using a bunch of Soekris 4511's, IIRC, running NetBSD and a network IDS we'd been working on, which possibly generated 100s of MB to a few GB of logging per day. Whoever did the initial setup didn't realize that the flash cards of that timeframe were limited to 10K writes or so, and after a few months you started getting 16K chunks of old logfile data, or 16K chunks of new and old logfile data corrupted together-- looked to be a binary OR of the 0 bits. Nothing reported that writes were failing-- evidently the flash cards didn't notice an error and thus didn't report it back to the system. Switching /var to tmpfs resolved the issue for us. From what I understand (a quick review of wikipedia helps :), modern flash cards are now typically rated for 100K writes, include ECC bits to actually correct or at least detect errors and try to remap bad blocks to unused blocks, and implement wear-leveling techniques of varying degrees of effectiveness.

Hi Alex, I will double-check my BIOS, I thought I had unused ports disabled, but I might have missed some (it's a complex motherboard!). I probably wont recompile my kernel, because I think that would prohibit me from using the freebsd-update program. I can always just wait, it was a bigger problem when I had 6 drives in it. It almost seems to be pausing when it finds a drive, I have a CDROM and one HD in it now.

These lines get the delay: ata2: ATA channel 0 on atapci0 ata3: ATA channel 1 on atapci0 A) you can rebuild your kernel with options ATA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=3 to reduce the timeout to 3 seconds. that should be enough for new hdds/controllers. B) or you could try switching from ATA(4) to CAM(4) via the ATA_CAM kernel option (see ATA(4) for an explanation). since you're running pretty new hardware and a recent fbsd version you would defenately benefit from switching to CAM(4). it has much better ahci support e.g. simply add options ATA_CAM to your kernel conf and your good to go after building installing the new kernel. also the probelm might be in your BIOS. be sure to deactivate all ATA channels which don't have a device connected to them. otherwise fbsd will look for one until the timeout gets hit (both in ATA(4) and CAM(4)). in fact you might want to check the bios before trying any of the steps A) or B), because this very likely seems to be the problem in your case. cheers. alex -- a13x ___ 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
What is the best way to image copy a FreeBSD system?
On Linux I use clonezilla, which understands the EXT3 filesystem, and it can skip unused space (I'm using about 3GB out of 1TB). On FreeBSD, I have to fill the 1TB drive with zero-filled files, then delete them, on each partiton, since CloneZilla uses DD+gzip on the entire drive. I like to make image copies of new systems, so I can revert back to my starting point in case I break it, but CloneZilla is taking 9 hours to image the drive. I can re-install a lot faster than that. I normally store my image copies on a Samba share on another system, they are stored as files. I am not copying to another raw drive. Is there an image-copy backup program that understands the UFS file-system? Or perhaps there is a better solution on FreeBSD? ___ 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: android
I haven't mounted my Android yet on my FreeBSD servers but I would think the advice below of mounting it like a MSDOS thumb drive would be correct. I would also think you'd need to use the longname switch as well on your command line. Otherwise you'll be stuck with the old 8.3 filename format limits.
