Question about Fibre-Channel Support of FreeBSD?
Hi Admin, I am a user of FreeBSD, and want to support Emulex or Adaptec Fibre-Channel HBA on x86 platform. Does current FreeBSD support their drivers? or, Have you any suggestion to download those source? Thanks so much!

RE: FreeBSD5.1 Vinum Mirror root
Machine will run one copy of FreeBSD5.1 and has three hard drives: 2 x 200GB and 1 x 100GB drives. I was planning to use the 100GB for backup to store dump images of this machine. The 200GB drives are mirrored root vinum volumes - however that is accomplished. The purposed of the machine: - Backup server + Stores dump images of 5 web servers - Web server configuration website version control + Should store the configuration files of each web server + Web pages are published to this server * Each webserver should sync its config files and webpages with this configuration server - not sure which method is the best: rsync, cvsup, other? - Intranet webserver running apache Using mod_python + perl cgi Intranet Wiki Server to capture notes (twiki looks the best so far) - Keeps FreeBSD 5.1 up-to-date using cvsup nightly. - Build server Will keep kernel + apps up-to-date as needed Plan to have web server just run the make install via NFS from this build server I know I'm asking too much of this machine, but that's why something like vinum should be on it. Clearly, reliability is paramount. Is there ever an advantage of having two slices for a drive when running just one copy of FreeBSD on there? So, let's say split the 200GB into two slices. First will have the standard partitions /, /var, /tmp, swap, /usr. Then have /data on 2nd slice. What's the disadvantage of doing this? How will this affect vinum - better or worse? I understand that having more unix partitions might help limit data corruption if the machine crashes. So was planning to split things up into partitions as the following: / - 256MB, swap - 512MB, /var - 1GB, /tmp - 256MB, /usr - 198GB (rest). Should these partitions be done under ufs2 and then put vinum on each, or should I just have one giant root drive and then have vinum split things up? Given vinum is dependent on ufs, the corruption issue probably still holds true. Is there a choice - in other words have one big unix filesystem and use vinum to partition or have many unix partitions and each one is transitioned into a vinum volume? Sorry for long post - just lot's of things trying to figure out. Would appreciate any comments / advice on any particular point. Clearly a FreeBSD newbie, but been going through the books and trying to figure this thing out.

Re: New Webserver with multiple drives

Here is my question: How do I setup these multiple drives? What does the industry recommend when it comes to setting them up? Should I set BSD up to think its one datasource (so 400gig) and then run from that? Or do I setup 1 drive to hold my web/mail/mysql, and the other to do something elsE? I'm totally lost, so any help would be greatly appericated.. PLEASE don't assume I know what your talking about, because it's a given that I dont! heh :) The only possible answer is it depends. With disks there are 3 characteristics that you can modify the balance between depending on your needs. Those are resilience, available space and access speed. There's also a fourth consideration, which may affect your choice but that has little effect during the day-to-day operation of the system, which is the amount of time and effort you're prepared to put into doing sys-adminly things. Now, you've only got two disks, so that immediately rules out any choices involving RAID5. You make no mention of any sort of hardware raid controller, so I'll assume that isn't a possibility either. That leaves essentially 3 choices: i) No RAID at all. This scores highly on the ease of admin, as it's the default way things are set up by sysinstall. Just partition the disks, put filesystems on them and set up /etc/fstab so the partitions get mounted in appropriate locations. I'll take this as the baseline to compare the other setups to. ii) RAID 0 or disk striping. This creates one synthetic 400Gb partition from your two actual drives, by writing alternate blocks of data to each drive. The block size is configurable: at one extreme you could make the block size the same as the raw disk size, in which case you'ld end up appending one disk to the end of the other. However, the greatest advantage occurs when the block size is round about the same size as the system can read from the drive in one gulp. This spreads the load of any IO evenly of the two drives and should maximize performance. The bad news is that if either of the disks becomes faulty, then all of the disk space on your system will be unavailable. As you add disks to the stripe, this problem becomes more and more acute, so this setup is generally not used very much unless in combination with RAID 5 or RAID 1 to give higher resilience. iii) RAID 1 or mirroring. Each drive contains a complete copy of all of the data, maintained in parallel. The advantages are improved resilience -- the system should just keep chugging along merrily even if one of the drives self destructs -- and improved IO performance on reads -- writes have to go to both drives, which takes only slightly longer than writing to a single drive, but reads can go to either drive which gives you much better performance. (The biggest factor is the milliseconds it takes to position the head and wait for the drive to turn round until the correct block is under the head. Talking between the CPU, RAM and the disk electronics takes of the order of microseconds.) The bad news is that you've got to sacrifice half of your potentially available disk capacity. However, assuming that the resulting space is adequate for your needs, a mirrored root disk setup is pretty standard for server machines. Either of ii) and iii) will probably entail your learning about vinum(8) as the best available mechanism for doing software RAID on FreeBSD. The alternatives are not that hot: ccd(4) is pretty ancient and doesn't offer any means of recovering a mirrored partition than backup and re-install should one drive fail. I've heard that NetBSD's raidframe stuff is being ported to FreeBSD, but I don't think it's ready for primetime use yet. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/vinum/index.html for a thorough introduction to vinum bootstrapping, http://www.vinumvm.org/ for general information and http://org.netbase.org/vinum-mirrored.html for a quick HOWTO set up a bootable vinum root drive.

So if there is no /dev/psm0 this should mean that there is no PS/2-Mouse-Support present in the kernel. Therefore, I am in the process of researching building a custom kernel that will include support for the PS/2 mouse. If you haven't done so already, check the handbook (/usr/share/doc/language/books/handbook). You should also check /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and build your custom kernel file from that. Copy GENERIC to a new filename and edit, remove all the stuff you don't need (SCSI, probably, among others), add stuff you do need... I must admit that I am rather surprised that an advanced OS such as FreeBSD does not include support for PS/2 in its generic configuration. I use FreeBSD 5.0 with a PS/2 mouse on my machine, and the mouse worked happily from the first moment on. I don't think this is a problem with the PS/2-driver. I understand there is a website on using FreeBSD on laptops. Maybe you should google for that, and maybe ask Sony, as well, if they have some experience regarding FreeBSD (or some other BSD) on the model you are using. There also was a website about using UNIX and UNIX-like systems on laptops, www.mobilix.org; unfortunately, the website is not available due to copyright reasons, but there is an eMail-link to the site's owner.

Re: XP to FreeBSD LAN connection
Hi If you just want to be able to connect to services on the FreeBSD box from your XP box, then you should just give your XP box's internal network adapter and the FreeBSD box's network adapter an IP address withing the same internal subnet. For example give you XP box the address 10.0.0.1 and your FreeBSD box the address 10.0.0.2. The subnet mask on both should be 255.0.0.0 and that's it. Wouldn't it be nicer to have your FreeBSD box function as a NAT router and firewall?

Crash after power failure
I have a FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE machine that was running 24/7 for about a month, hosting my web server. Unfortunately, yesterday our area experiences a series of power outages, one apparently long enough to have drained my UPS, and the BSD machine crashed as a result. When trying to bring the machine back up, it complained about slices on the primary slave hard drive (which the BIOS detected just fine) being unavailable or not existing. I booted and logged in as root using the default shell, and 'mount -a' and 'fsck' both complained in the same manner about the drive. I then rebooted and was presented with the same problems (prompted for default shell, same hard drive unavailable). What do I need to do in order to recover from the crash?

No network connection 5.1-RELEASE/Chaintech MB
I'm tri-booting 98/XP/BSD with a Chaintech Zenith 7NJS motherboard (btw: the GAG bootloader works great!). 98 and XP detect my on-board NIC without much effort, but FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE doesn't seem to like it. It keeps wanting to use my firewire card as a NIC. The BIOS has been updated to the latest version. 'dmesg' shows on entry for pci0 for a network device (among other devices) that comes up as 'no driver'. The chipset is NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400+ MCP-T, and Chaintech calls the NIC interface On-board LAN controller: Fast Ethernet Controller with MII Interface; Support 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet with External PHY. nVIDIA has a link to download a Linux driver for the entire chipset, but I'm not sure this would help, as the rest of the board seems to be supported by the OS, and, of course, because BSD is not Linux. The FBSD Handbook's Supported Hardware page does not list out specific motherboards, saying only that Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI expansion busses are well-supported. It does list specific LAN interfaces that are supported, but I can't get the specifics on my on-board LAN interface from my motherboard packaging or manual, or the Chaintech website.

Re: New Webserver with multiple drives
Matthew, That explains it perfectly! However, let me throw this on the pile and let me have your opinion on it: 1) Hardware load balancing is an option (or so I found out from the people that built the server) .. Using ATA133 RAID. Being this is an option, should I hardware LB or software LB? 2) Personally, I like the idea of having 400gbs available. This server is a web / database / email / dns server. However, I'm desperately trying to see this in a more advanced light than WOW, 400 gigs! WOOHOO! :) That being said, is Raid 1 the best way to go? If it slows down writes, will it be noticeable? The one thing I DON'T want is noticeable speed lost. Is the Raid becoming corrupt in Raid 0 a common thing? I generally don't add to servers, I buy new ones.. So when I outgrow this production machine, it will get demoted to something else and I'll buy a bigger better production server. (meaning the chances of me adding additional harddisks is unlikely) 3) Does it matter that I'm planning an offsite location? Essentially, I'll backup all the web / email / db stuff to a server offsite. Although my backup server isn't as big as my production server (right now), I don't have 400 gigs of crap. I figure when I've outgrown my backup server, I can simply replace it. Many thanks for all your help.. It's greatly appreciated! Best Regards, Duane * Duane A.

Here is my question: How do I setup these multiple drives? What does the industry recommend when it comes to setting them up? Should I set BSD up to think its one datasource (so 400gig) and then run from that? Or do I setup 1 drive to hold my web/mail/mysql, and the other to do something elsE? I'm totally lost, so any help would be greatly appericated.. PLEASE don't assume I know what your talking about, because it's a given that I dont! heh :) The only possible answer is it depends. With disks there are 3 characteristics that you can modify the balance between depending on your needs. Those are resilience, available space and access speed. There's also a fourth consideration, which may affect your choice but that has little effect during the day-to-day operation of the system, which is the amount of time and effort you're prepared to put into doing sys-adminly things. Now, you've only got two disks, so that immediately rules out any choices involving RAID5. You make no mention of any sort of hardware raid controller, so I'll assume that isn't a possibility either. That leaves essentially 3 choices: i) No RAID at all. This scores highly on the ease of admin, as it's the default way things are set up by sysinstall. Just partition the disks, put filesystems on them and set up /etc/fstab so the partitions get mounted in appropriate locations. I'll take this as the baseline to compare the other setups to. ii) RAID 0 or disk striping. This creates one synthetic 400Gb partition from your two actual drives, by writing alternate blocks of data to each drive. The block size is configurable: at one extreme you could make the block size the same as the raw disk size, in which case you'ld end up appending one disk to the end of the other. However, the greatest advantage occurs when the block size is round about the same size as the system can read from the drive in one gulp. This spreads the load of any IO evenly of the two drives and should maximize performance. The bad news is that if either of the disks becomes faulty, then all of the disk space on your system will be unavailable. As you add disks to the stripe, this problem becomes more and more acute, so this setup is generally not used very much unless in combination with RAID 5 or RAID 1 to give higher resilience. iii) RAID 1 or mirroring. Each drive contains a complete copy of all of the data, maintained in parallel. The advantages are improved resilience -- the system should just keep chugging along merrily even if one of the drives self destructs -- and improved IO performance on reads -- writes have to go to both drives, which takes only slightly longer than writing to a single drive, but reads can go to either drive which gives you much better performance. (The biggest factor is the
ehci in kernel

I must admit that I am rather surprised that an advanced OS such as FreeBSD does not include support for PS/2 in its generic configuration. well the ps/2 trackpad on my dell inspirion 5000 laptop works great.

Lo all, I managed to get the CBCP stuff away, by disabling some advance features in windows (LCP Extensions, etc). Can somebody perhaps shed some light on the logs now and perhaps give an indication why the server may now still be failing...

transparent web proxy seems to break things
I'm attempting to set up a transparent web proxy under 5.1 using the user land ppp and squid. I am already using that FreeBSD box for ppp and NATing. I also have squid set up and it seems to work when I manually configure the web clients (but not all the web clients in the house can be configured, and it is a pain to set and reset on laptops when going from home to work and stuff). I used pppctl to add the rule: nat proxy type no_encode port 80 server 127.0.0.1:3128 proto tcp src 10.0.0.29 and web browsing promptly stopped working. I deleted that (with nat proxy delete rule 0 -- I think), and browsing started working again, then I put it back with: nat proxy type no_encode port 80 server 10.0.0.1:3128 proto tcp src 10.0.0.29 and web browsing stopped again. I also did it without src 10.0.0.29 and that just ends up stopping all browsing in all the machines, and upsets other people in the house who no longer think letting me mess with FreeBSD as a server is such a good idea :-) To remove any possiable misconfiguration of squid from the picture I also give it a shot with squid disabled and ttcp (which does lots of stuff, but in this case was just set to show incomming connections and any data on them) listing on 3128. When I attempted browsing I got nothing on the web client (as expected), and nothing showed up from ttcp. So the proxying is stopping the packets from going direct, but they are also not (as far as I can tell) sent where I asked them to go! So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or maybe a better way to set up transparent web proxying? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: configure ftpd port range
John DeStefano [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your response, Lowell, as always. John DeStefano writes: Due to ISP restrictions, I must change the default port on which ftpd runs in order to enable ftp access to and from my machine. That would violate the FTP spec, and isn't supported (IIRC) by the standard FreeBSD ftpd. Obviously, I'm not looking to 'violate' any specs, or to have any RFCs changed in order to accomodate my personal server. I'm just looking for a viable solution to a problem that I'm sure others have come across. NAT is very unfriendly to the FTP protocol (in fact, firewalling isn't especially nice about it either), so it's always painful to do what you want. If it's strictly for personal use, scp is a lot easier to get running under those configurations, and loads more secure to boot. I had to do the same for my httpd server, but that information was a bit more accessible. Reading material has been sparse, but I've read that adding a port number/range to the ftpd entry /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf might do the trick. Is this an acceptible way of going about changing the ftp ports? It won't work. Why not? If you were to specify a new port number both in 'services' and 'inetd.conf', and the proper firewall holes were punched, why would it fail? Because ftpd doesn't consult those files for opening up its ports. Because the port numbers are hard-coded in the spec, they're hard-coded in the server as well. Strangely enough, it sounds like moving away from the stock ftpd, and using a 3PP daemon to configure the new ports, is the way to go. Any suggestions on ports and methods? Sorry, I don't run *any* FTP any more. Quick sidebar: DNS is setting my domainname to my ISP's domain, not my local domain, which is causing some problems. man domainname tells me The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an argument, which I assume means domainname . But this setting does not stick on reboot. Is there an easy fix? According to the FreeBSD Handbook, the FreeBSD FAQ, and the rc.conf(5) manual, setting hostname in /etc/rc.conf is what you're looking for. The handbook merely specifies to use the format: hostname=foo.example.com in rc.conf; it doesn't say what to do when the system automatically changes the hostname on you on boot/reboot, presumably due to DHCP communications. I could be mistaken, but I don't see this topic in the FAQ (which currently covers up to 4.X) at all. 'man' says: If dhclient(8) is used to set the hostname via DHCP, this variable should be set to an empty string. However, I believe that's what's happening now and may be the reason why 'hostname' is getting reset incorrectly; see below: # cat /etc/rc.conf |grep hostname #hostname=gandalf.istari hostname=gandalf hostname=gandalf.Optonline.net My manual entry has been commented out, and new entries made. How would one keep this from getting changed automatically? Hmm. You'd have to look at why that was happening. I don't know offhand, and I can't really experiment with it at the moment. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xfree86 debugging
I have been unable to run an X client+server on 4.8 release for several weeks due to what appears to be a known issue. The problem surfaced a few days after my weekly port upgrade (none of the upgrades were X related - the previous weeks upgrade did update an X port, but I'm not certain which). Google found two similar issues, one appears to be due to using -O2 optimisation with gcc3.3 to compile freetype on Debian. The other message was in the xfree86 fonts mailing list archive: That's expected behaviour with current CVS, which is not internally consistent. Both the freetype and the type1 backends register for PostScript fonts; whichever you get depends on the order they register. Could you please try again after applying http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/ xfree86-fønts-þriøritý-2002¹025.þãtch Assuming it works today, it will cause the freetype backend to get Type 1 fonts, and the type1 backend to get CFF fonts. The patch is no longer available, the author of the above email did not respond to a request for more information. I emailed the maintainer of freetype2 a couple of weeks ago but have not yet had any response. Up to now I have used packages for XFree86. Last week I tried re- installing X using the ports in a desperate attempt to resolve the issue. I have also tried disabling some of the modules loaded by /etc/XF86Config-4 to narrow down the problem. Any suggestions what I should do next?. Is there anything I can do to be more pro-active in resolving this issue, or do I assume that the problem is with freetype2 a patch is in the pipeline?. thanks Jeff ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Qmail Upgrade
Duane, If this is only a software upgrade I would suggest running a make world on your current box. FreeBSD accounts or vpopmail accounts? I've never tried to migrate system accounts, I would assume that this would entail setting up ldap/kerberos/nis or some type of sso service. Vpopmail should be easy, just copy over your vpopmail installation directory and then run the upgrade on the new server to the same directory. You might want to check on the vpopmail part of that, but that's how I would do it.

How will this affect vinum - better or worse? I don't think it'll affect vinum in any way, other than making it a bit easier if you don't need / mirrored. It will make backups much easier. Partitions sized to fit your backup media can be very convenient :-) It can also prevent problems, like /tmp or /var filling up your / and causing havoc. It can also cause problems if you incorrectly size things. Vinum's ability to add new sub-disks to certain types of plexes combined with growfs can be great for handling these sorts of situations. -T -- The knowledge of the ancients was perfect. How perfect?

Re: New Webserver with multiple drives
On Mon, Jul 28, 2003 at 10:36:27AM -0500, DP Support wrote: Matthew, That explains it perfectly! However, let me throw this on the pile and let me have your opinion on it: 1) Hardware load balancing is an option (or so I found out from the people that built the server) .. Using ATA133 RAID. Being this is an option, should I hardware LB or software LB? Load balancing is a different thing to RAID. As to whether you should use hardware RAID: probably yes, as the hardware RAID will take some of the load off the main CPU thus maximizing performance. Plus some HW raid can implement write caching using non-volatile memory, which means that an unexpected power cut can't damage the file system or cause data loss. That grade of RAID controller tends to be fairly expensive though. However, it's not cut and dried that HW RAID will out-perform SW RAID, particularly when doing RAID 0 or RAID 1. You'll have to experiment to find out which works better. Nb. Load balancing usually refers to having two or more web servers to serve up the same data. You can implement it in a hackish way using an apache proxy as described in the apache mod_rewrite docs. However, for higher throughput situations it's generally the case that a specialist piece of kit, like Cisco Arrowpoint or Alteon AceDirector is used. 2) Personally, I like the idea of having 400gbs available. This server is a web / database / email / dns server. However, I'm desperately trying to see this in a more advanced light than WOW, 400 gigs! WOOHOO! :) That being said, is Raid 1 the best way to go? If it slows down writes, will it be noticeable? The one thing I DON'T want is noticeable speed lost. Is the Raid becoming corrupt in Raid 0 a common thing? I generally don't add to servers, I buy new ones.. So when I outgrow this production machine, it will get demoted to something else and I'll buy a bigger better production server. (meaning the chances of me adding additional harddisks is unlikely) Nope -- RAID 1 (mirroring) would be strongly recommended for a production server, especially if it's at a remote site. The write performance won't be an issue: the gains you make on read performance will far outway any penalties. RAID becoming corrupt is about as likely as a regular filesystem becoming corrupt. Generally it takes some sort of hardware failure to cause it. Bad memory in a hardware RAID controller can be particularly agravating, but it's a fairly unusual occurrence. 3) Does it matter that I'm planning an offsite location? Essentially, I'll backup all the web / email / db stuff to a server offsite. Although my backup server isn't as big as my production server (right now), I don't have 400 gigs of crap. I figure when I've outgrown my backup server, I can simply replace it. If the machine is offsite, and particularly if it's used for critical services, then you should concentrate on making it as resilient as possible, if only to minimize the amount of time you have to spend travelling to the hosting center. It's a judgement call though -- all of these niceties like HW RAID cost money, and it's basically up to you to decide if it's worth it. Many thanks for all your help.. It's greatly appreciated!

With disks there are 3 characteristics that you can modify the balance between depending on your needs. Those are resilience, available space and access speed.

The Annelise Anderson book, FreeBSD an Open Source Operating System, Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas The FreeBSD unleashed book from SAMs Someone has walked off with my copy of The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey but it has good man page/handbook kind of detail. All have their value. I rummage through all of them for some things. But, none of the books, handbook or stuff I get from the search engines (Google and whatever) does a good enough job on the disk access, formatting (why not?) slicing, partitioning, superblocks - why so many, isn't just a waste of time - MBRs, boot blocks, the detailed step by step process of booting, and since all that stuff is really at a low lever, bit and byte fields in those things and how the system really uses them and which ones if doesn't bother with, etc.Some of that including a little bit of the bit and byte stuff is in various of the books and in the handbook, but nowhere have I found a complete definition of the whole thing.

Server spinning out of control...
We've got a server that occassionally becomes temporarily useless because the load average shoots up to around 150.0 or so, and then slowly winds down over a 2 minute period. I cannot seem to find the process which is putting so much load on the machine. I've tried running top with the q switch, as well as the I switch, and when top opens, I can't see anything consuming large amounts of CPU power or consuming much memory, but the load average will be incredibly high. There isn't anything unusual in /var/log/messages to indicate anything which might be causing the load average to go shooting through the ceiling. This happens for about a minute, and then the machine comes back slowly again after a period of about 2 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas how we can figure out what process/processes might be doing this? We're running FreeBSD 3.4, and it's running as a mailserver with Sendmail. We know that the machine needs to be reloaded with something newer, but this is a big production machine and we've got a lot of engineering to do before we can get it up, so yes, upgrading the OS will happen soon, but until then, we would really like to trace this problem.

We need the NAT Router to act as follows: 1) When computers of the private network access the general internet, we need the NAT to translate to the Cox.Net IP, except for all addresses beginning with 130.191.X.X or 146.244.X.X, or all traffic on port 1214 (KaZaa), which we need to go the SDSU Connection. 2) When the IP Address the data is going to begins with 146.244.X.X or 130.191.X.X, or any IP address using port 1214, we need the data to route through the SDSU IP Address. NIC Card Info: Nic Card 1 (Private Network): IP: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.2 Nic Card 2 (Cox Network): IP: 68.15.25.98 Subnet: 255.255.252.0 Gateway: 68.15.25.65 DNS: 209.242.128.107 DNS2: 209.242.128.101 NIC Card 3 (SDSU TNS Network): IP: 130.191.73.13 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 130.191.73.254 DNS: 130.191.1.1 DNS2: 130.191.200.1 If someone could give us step-by-step instructions to configure this, it would be appreciated.

Floppy Disk Formatting
We have received a file on a floppy disk from a client. When we put it into the drive it says that disk has not been formatted. We already read from the disk and transferred the file to another system earlier. Why, after we have already used the file on the floppy disk does it now tell us it is not formatted. We need to open the file to print out some information from the original information on the disk. We do get a question that asks if we want to format the disk now. Can we say Yes to that? Or should we say No? If we say yes, what will it do to the disk? Any help you can give, would be appreciated. We do not want to lose any info on the disk so we are waiting for your answer. Thank you.

Ports not wotking
Hi downloaded the freebsd 5.0 miniinstall over the weekend. cd boots up fine loads all files had a look at installing ports that are availbe gave me an error could not find index. booted in windows checked the cd everthing was fine had index and index5.h file in ports dir also had the ports.tgzand some other basic files. using winrar i extracted ports.tgz to make sure the file is not corrupt but file was fine. Fed-up i tried to write index index5.h .cvsignore and the rest of the files expect ports.tgz to each dir. Freebsd Installer still could find the index file.? Is there any other way of installing the ports without using the installer..??? thanx ## This message and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the addressee.

RAID HW
Hello there, please, what RAID controller for ATA HDDs should I use in my new fileserver. There will be run 4.8 with samba (for Win clients) and netatalk (for Mac clients). I'm looking for some, which are officialy supported by FreeBSD, without any special requirements. I'd like to use RAID 5, if possible. Thanks for all recomendations.
