Is there some way in links to F control the mouse pointer sensitivity? If you use www/links port from X11 then you may want to use the '-g' switch for it. It makes the links to launch in a separate x11 window without (well... mostly) problems with mouse pointer. Of course you are welcome to try the www/links-hacked port especially if that is your case.

It looks like they're halfway hard links :) The link count is 414 for all those files so you know they are hardlinks, but because the inode number is different, there's no way to match up which links correspond to the same file. Each of those files might be unique, just hardlinked to the same names in 413 other identical subdirectories. Unlikely, but possible :) That's probably why tar and rsync can't recreate the links on the destination. I don't think the ISO filesytem format even has the concept of inode numbers, but according to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2006-October/002338.html , mkisofs from the cdrtools port should create hardlinked files with the same starting LBA number, and assuming FreeBSD's cd9660 driver uses that value for its inode number, everything should work. Either the ISOs aren't built with mkisofs, or the driver doesn't use the LBA number for the inode number. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I've found this to be common, and very acceptable as IPv6 adoption moves forward. I'd suspect that your machine is trying v6 first, and failing after a timeout.

Copy directory tree as hard links...
What is the easiest way to copy a directory tree as hard links? Linux has a nice little 'cp -al' flag combo to do this. The FreeBSD cp(1) manual page says to use pax or tar, but how do I get the ability to rename the file without first creating a destination file? I don't want an archive, just regular directory tree sitting right next to the original, but with a new name ... consisting of of hard links back to the original. For example on linux I could do something like: $ ls foo/ $ cp -al foo bar The result would be a new copy of foo, which takes up no additional space, as all files share the same inodes. Is there an easy way to do this on FreeBSD?

But something like this should do what you want: # cd /some/dir # find . -depth -type f -print0 | cpio -0pdl /other/dir It's the 'l' (link) option that achieves the desired effect. Note: this should link only files but it will create a parallel structure of sub-directories, so it will use up a bit of space. Actually, now I peruse the man page, pax(1) has very similar functionality, and you could do something like this: # pax -rwl /some/dir /other/dir You might also consider using nullfs mounts. In /etc/fstab: /some/dir /other/dir nullfs rw 0 0 See mount_nullfs(8).

links vs real directories
I always thought that links to real directories were pretty much the same as real directories, but I've just discovered a situation where they are not and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong... I have a Ruby on Rails application running on a FreeBSD server. All Rails apps use the same directory structure, that consists of an application directory, plus a number of subdirectories. One of these sub directories is called 'config'. I would like to move this config directory out of the main Rails app directory, and then add a link from the app directory to the moved config directory. so: app -- config will become app -- config(link) -- config Basically, what I'm doing is: cd ~/app # now in directory with real 'config' dir mv config ~/shared/config ln -s ~/shared/config config That moves the directory and creates a functional link to it (I tested it), but Rails doesn't like it and refuses to run the app. The permissions are correct, I believe: [mas...@on:current] ls -l total 34 ... snip ... drwxrwxr-x 3 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 bin drwxrwxr-x 3 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 components lrwxr-xr-x 1 master master26 Mar 16 11:07 config - /home/ master/shared/config drwxr-xr-x 4 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 db etc...

A *soft* link to a directory entry (be it a directory or a file or something else) is not quite equivalent to the original entry since they are easily distinguished and some programs do treat softlinks differently from other targets.

I have a Ruby on Rails application running on a FreeBSD server. All
Rails apps use the same directory structure, that consists of an
application directory, plus a number of subdirectories. One of
these sub directories is called 'config'.
I would like to move this config directory out of the main Rails
app directory, and then add a link from the app directory to the
moved config directory.
so:
app -- config
will become
app -- config(link) -- config
Basically, what I'm doing is:
cd ~/app # now in directory with real 'config' dir
mv config ~/shared/config
ln -s ~/shared/config config
That moves the directory and creates a functional link to it (I
tested it), but Rails doesn't like it and refuses to run the app.
The permissions are correct, I believe:
[mas...@on:current] ls -l
total 34
... snip ...
drwxrwxr-x 3 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 bin
drwxrwxr-x 3 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 components

drwxr-xr-x 4 master master 512 Mar 16 11:06 db

So, I guess a link is NOT exactly equivalent to a directory. At

I'm guessing I'm making a real newbie mistake, so if anyone can set

A little more information on this... from the Rails log, I can see
that a Ruby script in the config directory cannot load ('require') a
needed file because it can't find it:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- application
(MissingSource File)
It looks like this require statement is using a relative path, like
'../path/to/file'. Does '..' not work properly with a soft link? In
other words, '..', should mean ~/app, but since the config directory
is really in '~/shared', perhaps '..' translates to '~/shared'? That
would cause the problem finding the file.
Is there a way around this problem?
Digging in man ls, right now..

The 'official' and more descriptive name for a softlink is a symbolic link. Symbolic links are an absolute nightmare for security purposes, and many programs (especially ones set to run suid) choke on them. This could be intentional Since RoR is free software, you could dive in and edit where it looks for in the source code, or look for a compile-time option.

That's a common problem with soft links and interpreted languages.
Is there a way around this problem?
Generally, you have to fix this in the application itself. I'm not a
Ruby expert, but I can list some of the methods that solve the problem
in PHP:
1 If Ruby has a config value for including library files (often called a
search path), configure it to the correct paths and tell Ruby to
include the file name with the configured path information.
2 Write a wrapper around the requirement function that normalizes the path
so that it works.
3 Ditch the softlink altogether and require files by absolute path.
The first one is probably the most desirable, although I've had good
success using PHP's __autoload() to accomplish #2. Don't know if there's
an equivalent in Ruby.
In any event, if you're explicitly including files by relative path, you'll
have to stop doing that. It's a bad idea in any event.

Re: Re: installworld fails - nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME: too many levels of symbolic links

My brief analysis of this is that there's only so much that can be done, at least programmatically. Your DVD copy does not contain sufficient information to differentiate between hardlinks, apparently, and may not allow you to determine where softlinks used to exist, either. And then there may be some files that were simply two copies of the same content, and should not be construed as linked files. That said, I have done similar tasks (like deleting duplicate copies of files stored on two machines) by writing a shell script to calculate a checksum of each file on disk, then sorting the output based on the checksum. Where you find duplicate checksum values, you likely have files that could be hard-linked to each other. It would require some manual vetting of the identified duplicates to determine whether the files are supposed to be hardlinks, symlinks or simply two discrete files with the same content. This can be time-consuming for large filesystems, but for 3 Gigs, you can just start it and walk away until it's done. This example is rather clumsy, and if someone can show me how to do this without having to pipe the output into sh, I'd be edified to know that. On the other hand, I often like to construct xarg lines like this so I can see and inspect the commands that will be executed, before actually committing to piping it into the shell. find / -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -Ixx -n1 echo echo \$\(sha256 -q \xx\\) \xx\ | sh md5-list.out Then use awk/sort/uniq/grep to find duplicate checksums, and determine which files have identical checksum values. Manually examine those files to determine whether they should be hardlinks, symlinks, or remain as separate files. Note that this necessarily excludes directories, which could be symlinks of other directories, such as /etc/namedb vs. /var/named/etc/namedb.

Symbolic Links in /dev of a jail
In my quest to get asterisk+iaxmodem+hylafax working together in a jail I've run into one final roadblock. I can't seem to figure out how to create a symbolic link (ln -s doesn't work) in /dev in the jail environment while in the jailed environment. When trying to create a link with ln I receive: ln -s somedev targetdev ln: targetdev: Operation not permitted Adding a link entry to devfs.conf in the jail fails too since it receives the same error. I can create a link in the jailed /dev from the host environment, so there seems to be some restriction on creating links in /dev while in the jail. The reason I need to be able to do this is that iaxmodem needs to create a /dev/ttyIAX device to point to the correct ttyp0 device when it starts in the jail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: multiple links with single ln command
Unfortunately, it is impossible with the current syntax of the ln command. It does allow you to specify multiple sources as arguments though, with a final argument naming a target directory in which to create the links to the source files. For example: $ mkdir test $ mkdir test/a $ mkdir test/b $ mkdir test/c $ mkdir links $ cd ./links $ ln -s ../test/* . $ ls -l lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 a - ../test/a lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 b - ../test/b lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 c - ../test/c However, this is not exactly what you are trying to do in your example; you are trying to create multiple target links with the same name in different directories. Unfortunately, because the ln command's syntax allows you to specify multiple source files, it would be ambiguous to try to make it also allow you to specify multiple targets. Hope that helps. -brian --- sara lidgey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've read the man page for ln but can't find a way to do this.

No. Well, it depends on what you consider a single command. :) Consider that your command line uses fileglob expansion to determine the full command line *before* the command is run. The notation you're looking at is this: ln [-fhinsv] source_file ... target_dir which means the `ln` command takes a left-hand-side (the source, possibly multiple sources) and a right-hand-side (the target). But you're asking to go the other way around, with a single source being created in multiple targets. If you have ALOT of these links to make, or need to do this on an regular basis, I suggest making a small script that does what you want; perhaps something like this: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then echo Usage: altln source_file target_dir ... exit 1 fi source_file=$1; shift for target_dir in $*; do ln -svi $source_file $target_dir done ... which you can run with a command line like: # ls -F test/ a/ b/ c/ # altln ../c test/a test/b # ls -l test/*/* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Jun 27 17:28 test/a/c - ../c lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Jun 27 17:28 test/b/c - ../c # (Bear in mind that the symbolic link you create will be evaluated relative to ITS location, not your cwd when you create the link.) -- Paul Chvostek [EMAIL PROTECTED] it.canadahttp://www.it.ca/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nothing about symbolic links Now there is an option --unlink-first and --dereference... Both of which don't copy the links, but unlink or copy the actual source file. Don And again: What am I doing wrong here, or is my tar broken? Heh, heh, could be. Andy is referring to BSDtar, which is tar(1) on later releases, and your -L option is from GNUtar, which is tar(1) on, IIRC, 4.X and elder, and is now available in ports as gtar. As for what's really the problem, I can't say as I can tell. On my 6.X box, everything works as expected. For fun, I shelled into a 4.11 box, and everything works as expected, both my tests and your example. Maybe your tar *is* broken. Or, more likely, we're both a tad dense ATM.

kde konqueror and sftp links?
Hey List- On my Gentoo box I can do sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the Konqueror URL and it prompts me for a password. On my BSD box (6.1-RC1) running KDE 3.5.2 from ports it just keeps throwing a authentication failed error. Any clue on how to get this working? It's a nice feature :) sftp from the command line works fine. Outside of the kmailrc, kontactrc and kwallet files the .kde dir is a clean install / config. Thoughts?
