LVM ? (not vinum!)
Is there an implementation of an LVM in FreeBSD ? Vinum is not sufficient. I am looking for a true LVM where creating and resizing volumes is a must. Something like Solaris Disksuite with softpartitioning is something I could live with already, but it just does not seem to exist. Am I correct? I'd hate to have to consider Linux as the OS for this new platform because of the one flaw in FreeBSD I can't live with :( Thanks, Stephan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Softpartitioning on FreeBSD ? (vinum?)
Hi, I have been working with FreeBSD for a while now (several years), but never on any professional grade hardware. Well, this is going to change with my new server. It will have a hardware raid attached to it. For this purpose I am looking for an implementation of Softpartitions as they exist on Solaris when using Disksuite/SolarisVolumeManager. I don't need anything that will configure a software mirror or raid, I just need softpartitions to split up the LUN which will be created by my storage hardware. I browsed the vinumvm website but haven't really seen anything about it. Do I need to look towards vinum, or is there something else I am missing ? The server won't be build untill Q4 this year, so I'm hoping to utilize any 5-RELEASE that may come up then since I'm already a fan of the current -CURRENT which I actively use on my laptop.

dhclient with reconfigured SSID
Hi, Somebody on the block has recently bought him or herself WLAN hardware which interferes somewhat with mine. When my laptop (5-CURRENT) is booting, it requests a dhcp address and for that it needs to associate itself with a SSID. Unfortunately my card almost always connects to my neighbors AP. Why idea how I can preconfigure an SSID for dhclient ?

Will this lock the ssid during reboots as well ? If not, that actually is what I am looking for. /Stephan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
new server hardware recommendations ?
Hi Folks, I'm will be retiring my old and trusty rackmount machine soon and will be purchasing a new one to replace it. The old one was a home-grown combination of hardware, fitting into a 2U chassis. For its replacement however, I am looking for a more professional system, including professional (hardware) support if needed, because I will be trying to run some paid services of it. Something from a vendor like Dell, IBM or HP/Compaq. Something that preferably fits into 1U and can give me some degree of hardware fault tolerance like a raid5 built-in on 3 disks. I have seen something like this coming from Dell for example (allthough I'd really rather use 2x AMD64, which Dell doesn't do ..) Anyway, who is using FreeBSD in a professional world on hardware like this ? Anyone with a recommendation? This 'swap' won't happen untill Q4 this year, so it will be running 5-STABLE then. Please take this new platform into consideration for when recommending new hardware.

analysing swap usage
Is there a way to see which programs have been swapped out / eg. use up swap ? I am recently seeing an increase in swap usage where no real change has been made and I'm just curious if there is anything more to 'swap' then /usr/sbin/swapinfo. /Stephan -- Stephan van Beerschoten[KeyID: 0x08F12864] If you are adminstering UNIX systems and don't master tools such as make, shell, and perl, then you are working too hard. -- Wietse Venema.
