A question about /tmp

[roland Mathieu]

Hello,

I want to install FreeBSD with a small root partition. It's
possible to use a different partition for /tmp, but /tmp can also be a
symbolic link pointing, for example, /var/tmp. Is it a good idea ? If not
what sort of problem will I encounter ?

thanks,
roland.

Re: xlock + xautolock question

[roland Mathieu]

Bryan Cassidy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a écrit:
 I've read through the man page for xlockmore and xautolock and cant
 figure out (must be over looking it or something) but can't figure out
 how to setup a .rc file for the two and how to setup xlockmore to
 interact with xautolock.. So any help would be apprecited even if its
 from the man page it's self. i dont mind to read. Must be over looking
 it or something.

Hello,

If you put this line in a startup script like ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc 

xautolock -time 5 -locker xlock 

xlock will be automatically launch after five minutes of inactivity. «man
xautolock» and «man xlock» to configure xlock and xautolock exactly like
want.

Note: it's absolutely not FreeBSD specific.

Hope it help.
roland.

2 questions about usb memory stick ...

[roland Mathieu]

I've got a 128MB usb memory stick (pmi memory). It works very well since
I've modified file /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c by adding lines:

{
 /*
  * Pmi / 128MB
  */
  {T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, Generic*, USB Flash Disk*,
 *},
  /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE|DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
},

in the da_quirk_table structure.

First question : who contact to add definitively these lines to scsi_da.c ?

Second question: if memory stick is plugged when my computer boots up it is
detected before my scsi disks. how to avoid that ? 
( I must unplug it if I want my computer to boot because da0 is normally
used by the first scsi disk :( )

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
roland.
