external usb hard drive
I got a usb external hard drive that is 160 gb, but I can not mount it. I get the error too big sorry. I can mount it in FreeBsd 6.1 by adding the following option in my custom kernel. option MSDOSFS_LARGE I didn't find that option in DragonFlyBSD LINT. Is it there and I missed it or is there another way to mount it. I don't really want to repartition the drive. Any help greatly appreciated. Bryan

I remember ~90GB being the maximum size I could mount on a DragonFly system. YMMV. Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
Looking for HowTo instructions ...
Can someone that has installed BSDstats on your server please email me instructions on *how* to install it for your flavor of BSD? I do not believe that either OpenBSD or NetBSD has a 'periodic' system similar to FreeBSDs, and would like to put something up on the site explaining how to install such that it runs once a month, specific to each flavors recommended method ... Thx ...
Re: Looking for HowTo instructions ...
The point of using periodic, at least under FreeBSD, is that there is a 'report' that is issued at the end of the monthly periodic run letting the admin know the status of various things on their servers ... So, for instance, it would give them a monthly reminder that the script *is* running on their machine ... --On Sunday, October 01, 2006 22:51:35 -0400 matthew sporleder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 10/1/06, Marc G.

Wouldn't cron be best suited for this task? That would seem pretty logical for running a shell script on a timed basis. It's also quite portable. I read the man page for periodic, but the usefulness of it seems quite mysterious to me. ;) From crontab(5): @monthlyRun once a month, 0 0 1 * *.
