There are a lot of Linux boot disks out there. I haven't found one yet that includes an ext4 compatible restore. Debian lets you roll your own, but you need to do that before a disaster.

With Apple pulling 4-5% of the (new) market, and the average time between replacements being higher with MacOS over Windows, the absolute largest percentage that use Windows would be 96%. Any number higher than that is clearly wrong. That assumes everybody who doesn't buy a Mac runs Windows. So that would be 0.0% market share for every variant of Linux and every variant of BSD. Assume a higher than 0.0% market share for the open source OS's and the maximum value for windows further declines. My gut feeling is that the 90% number is about right, but I would believe anything from 85%-94%. Any higher than 94% can't be right.

How I solved the problem is that I installed another card that was supported in the base system, another hard drive that worked with the card (UltraDMA 133 card/hard drive IIRC). After installing on that hard drive, and patching to support my raid card, I booted off the patched drive and the raid array was then recognized. I used dump/restore to move the patched system from the IDE hard drive to the raid array, then could boot off the raid array as desired and could remove the extra card/hard drive.

Theoretically, amd64 should work on a Xeon (depending on which Xeon you are using, more system details would be required to say for sure) See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html *** QUOTE *** Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 (“Hammer”) and Intel EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the FreeBSD operating system, including installation and development environments. Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and FreeBSD/amd64 should support them both. As of this writing, the following processors are supported: * AMD Athlon64 (“Clawhammer”). * AMD Opteron (“Sledgehammer”). * Intel 64-bit Xeon (“Nacona”). This processor is fabricated on 90nm process technology, and operates with 2.80 to 3.60 GHz (FSB 800MHz) and Intel E7520/E7525/E7320 chipsets. * Intel Pentium 4 Processor supporting Intel EM64T (“Prescott”). This is fabricated on 90nm process technology, uses FC-LGA775 package, and operates with 3.20F/3.40F/3.60F GHz and Intel 925X Express chipsets. The corresponding S-Spec numbers are SL7L9, SL7L8, SL7LA, SL7NZ, SL7PZ, and SL7PX. Note that processors marked as 5xx numbers do not support EM64T. Intel EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and different from Intel IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which FreeBSD/ia64 supports.

My goal was to create completely database powered SSL authenticated
system, and it pretty much worked. I needed an unsecured imap server
running so that Sendmail could use it for authentication for sending
mail (username and password are required for relaying, which are
transmitted to the server via SSL, but the query from Sendmail to
dovecot to check credentials - localhost:143 isn't encrypted.
Anyway, mail users don't have a home (login) directory, just a mail
directory which is why my maildir is a bit odd.
Hope that helps.

It keeps asking for compat4x (even if you have it installed). To the installer to ever run you have to ln -s /usr/local/lib/compat/libc.so.4 /usr/lib/compat/libc.so.4 It can't find libc.so.4 anywhere else. Anyway, I can't get their software to even print a test page, so I just use generic postscript drivers to send postscript files to our printer. I really can't say many good things about our imageRUNNER C3200. I would NEVER recommend it to somebody else. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Let me clarify briefly what I mean by two minutes. The 10 page (full color) document is completely spooled to the imageRUNNER C3200. The first page (eventually) comes out. I start the stopwatch. The second page comes out. I stop the stopwatch. I look at the stopwatch and it reads 1 minute 59 seconds. Yep, thats a 32 page per minute Canon for you ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: vinum, fsck generates errors when Plex 1 is up
* What problems are you having? fsck reports dozens and dozens of errors and the filesystem as corrupt whenever I start Plex 1. * Which version of FreeBSD are you running? 5.2.1-RELEASE * Have you made any changes to the system sources, including Vinum? No, I recompiled the kernel a couple of times, most recently to remove USB so that the following stops (and after removing USB it did stop): Aug 18 09:07:32 raid51 kernel: usb0: 1 scheduling overruns Aug 18 09:07:55 raid51 last message repeated 465 times * Supply the output of the vinum list command. If you can't start Vinum, supply the on-disk configuration, as described below. If you can't start Vinum, then (and only then) send a copy of the configuration file.
