Re: mounting a SCO harddisk (locally secondary drive) under freebsd?

There was some talk about this a few months ago; check the list archives. The basic gist was that no, there wasn't a way, since the documents describing the SCO filesystems were never released to the public. However, there was some talk about Caldera (the proud owners of SCO) releasing said documents, so work could potentially start on this. There are some other approaches that may be more feasible for you: 1) back up the data onto tape and restore under FreeBSD 2) run the FreeBSD and SCO machines side-by-side and use FTP, NFS or SCO VisionFS/AFPS (they implement the SMB protocol) to copy the data over -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

Bridge Firewall
I have a firewall bridge and for some reason when the traffic get high like at about 2.7Mbps it stops responding on the network and takes our network offline. We have 2 Linksys nics in it now. Last time this happened we had a realtek and a linksys nic in it and it gave some error like TX underrun, going to store and forward mode. When that error comes up thats when it stops responding. Its running 4.6-pre FreeBSD. Could it be the dc driver in 4.6? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
