Re: raid tool
> Thanks for this. I was looking at ZFS and I am impress with what I read, > unfortunately no AMD 64 and I only have 1Gig Ram. I can tell you I'm using ZFS on an i386 desktop with 1 GB RAM and it is working flawlessly after some tuning, more specifically: # For ZFS vm.kmem_size="521M" vm.kmem_size_max="512M" vfs.zfs.arc_min="16M" vfs.zfs.arc_max="64M" vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size="5M" vfs.zfs.debug=1 vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable="1" in /boot/loader.conf.local Today it finished the compilation openoffice.org-alllangs-3.0.0 successfully (after 1 day and 14:42:21). Before tuning the options I have, there were some problems and the machine used to hang after some 3 or 4 hours of compilation but from the moment I added the options on I didn't have a single crash of the machine. So maybe you could still give it a try...?

Don't know if there is a tool for this, but the usual way is to make a RELENG-7 supfile, csup the 7-STABLE sources and build them.

Re: Is KDE4 usable on FreeBSD?

I have to quote some random shoutbox I§vre read a long time ago: "Narrow-minded is the only opinion worth expressing." You have to realize that this is the question of every user's individual needs. Some users, like for example yourself, like going deep, using the shell for tasks from everyday life, some users are more GUI-oriented and like somewhat more graphic approach to the same tasks. Saying that some software is crap just because it distantly resembles some other soft and everybody using the soft you're criticizing should use the other one instead, is just... Stupid. Even more if you compare a desktop environment to a whole OS. So, please, stop forcing your opinions to others and let them choose for themselves.

Arrogant? ...if some port touches your system config files without asking. And simply printing it on the output at the end of installation isn't enough since it might get lost if an other port is built right after the one printing out the message. I don't know if there is an optimal way... -- (-K JohnNy alias Partial Derivative ∂ [home] http://johnny64.fixinko.sk/ [icq] 338328204 [abandoned] [jabber] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [skype] JohnNy64-konik [abandoned] pgp40l2d6cF60.pgp Description: PGP signature

You are apparently getting port-scanned. The message just says it won't reply by an RST packet to a SYN going to a closed port more than 200 times per second. I would suggest ignoring all SYN packets going to closed ports. Haven't yet used pf though, so I can't say how exactly to do this. -- (-K JohnNy alias Partial Derivative ∂ [home] http://johnny64.fixinko.sk/ [icq] 338328204 [abandoned] [jabber] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [skype] JohnNy64-konik [abandoned] pgp4s9I67iRaB.pgp Description: PGP signature
