Would setting up 'snort' help ?


www.snort.org

Seems a bit 'heavy' for my little (P2) web server.
But it looks like the kind of thing people would
want on every (modern) web-attached computer.

For my own part, I'll continue developing my own
little program, if for no other reason than it's
helping refresh my C skills, which are lacking.

Thanks for the tip, however.

I've only messed around with Intel and OCZ.  Of the two the Intel
matches swapcache's mostly-read load characteristics better.
The X25-V (40G MLC drive) has limited write bandwidth but
is perfectly adequate.

I know the message was specifically addressed to Matt, but sent to the list
???

I have an X25-M on FreeBSD which is a ZFS cache device.  That setup has
brought a phenomenal performance increase to my piddly 7200 1TB drives.

I also have a Transcend TS64GSSD25-M 64GB PATA MLC which breathed new life
into an old 600m 1.4 ghz laptop.  It runs kde4 quite well.

The intel's support TRIM which is pretty useful, except that *BSD doesn't
yet to my knowledge.  Both my drives were ebay snipes and I haven't had an
issue with either although the intel preforms quite a bit better for several
reasons.

raw partition offset != slice offset

2010-04-02 Thread Saifi Khan
Hi:

installed DragonFlyBSD 2010/03/29 snapshot on AMD64 x86_64 
machine.

On reboot the system stops with the following error
 'Bad Label' 
and reboots.

On powering the system and booting up DragonFlyBSD LiveCD, the 
following lines are seen
 ad4s1  Bad label.  raw partition offset != slice offset

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue ?
