Re: Ports Collection
Quick question Why are you using 6.4 instead of the latest (7.1)? Keep in mind that gnome2 has a lot of dependencies. That's just the nature of gnome2. When you say it didn't finish, did it stop and give you an error? When compiling gnome2 on FreeBSD, depending on your hardware, it can take quite a while to complete and sometimes it'll take up to a few hours to finish. I recommend you take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html as it will give you a lot of helpful information on installing and running gnome2 on FreeBSD. -- Jacques Manukyan Mario PNH wrote: I really liked the FreeBSD running on my ASUS desktop, until I tried to install gnome2 and I was surprised that it never finished it, during which it created some 20 and more user groups like 'nobody', 'anonymous', 'aiviah', 'games', etc ... and I am wondering if that was a normal process. # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 # make install clean I have burned the DVD of 6.4 version lately and I don't know if that's all I needed to install gnome2 instead of using Ports Collection.

Re: p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 installation is corrupt!
Try doing a pkg_deinstall -pf p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 And if that fails, I guess you could try as a last resort rm -Rf /var/db/pkg/p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 and then reinstall the package and do a regular pkg_delete -f p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 -- Jacques Manukyan Noah wrote: yes and I still get the error again when running portmanager # pkg_delete -f p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 pkg_delete: package 'p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway): p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5_1 pkg_delete: package 'p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01' doesn't have a prefix # # portmanager -u -y rCreateInstalledDbVerifyContentsFile 0.4.1_9 error: @comment ORIGIN: not found in /var/db/pkg/p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01/+CONTENTS p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 installation is corrupt! recomend running pkg_delete -f p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 then manually reinstalling this port rCreateInstalledDbVerifyContentsFile 0.4.1_9 error: @comment ORIGIN: not found in /var/db/pkg/p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01/+CONTENTS p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 installation is corrupt! recomend running pkg_delete -f p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 then manually reinstalling this port portmanager 0.4.1_9: Collecting installed port data ^CMGPMrCatchSignal received signal -=2 Olivier Nicole wrote: I am trying to remove p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 installation.

Re: Disabling write cache on eSATA enclosures
I've got an external eSATA enclosure as well which is using a Silicon Image Chipset and its connected to a Silicon Image SATA controller just like yours. So far, I haven't figured out how to turn off the write cache. I even tried playing with it on Windows (both XP Vista) and so far, there is no way to disable it. This seems like a common problem with Silicon Image Chipset + Silicon Image SATA controller. There's a lot of complains on google about this but no fixes that work. If anyone on the list has any first hand experience in resolving this, I'm all ears. -- Jacques Manukyan Dan wrote: Hi. atacontrol is reporting that the write cache on an eSATA enclosure I am using (Silicon Image chipset) with Silicon Image SATA controller has write cache enabled even though I want it disabled in loader.conf. My feeling is this has to be controlled by the enclosure, though such control doesn't exist. Is this it, or is the OS still responsible for turning off cache on external drives? What's your experience?
