the operating system to detect a larger *existing*
disk without a reboot. VMWare allows you to resize a disk on the fly.
Obviously I'm only interested in the grow the disk scenario :-)
I'm beginning to think a reboot is necessary, which is surprising!

Hello everyone -
I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already
existing disk has grown. I have FreeBSD running as a guest within
vSphere ESX 5. Here is the output of camcontrol showing how the disks
are detected within the OS:
[root@QA1HWFBSD83201 ~]# camcontrol inquiry
Yeah, but I am looking for 0 ... 8,9,11,14 are all in use ... but 0-7
are not. I want to:
starting with zero, find the lowest number that is NOT in this list
(where this list is the output of mdconfig -l, which shows which md
devices are currently in use)
Running mdconfig
Thank you very much - you got no output because you have no md devices in
use. I have a few in use and this is the output I get:
# mdconfig -l
md3 md2 md1 md0
But I could just as easily get:
# mdconfig -l
md9 md8 md5 md3
Hmm...I just saw that that line is in
I come from a Debian background, i normally 'apt-get update' the list of
the packages that apt-get mirrors serve before 'apt-get install'ing any
package. Is there anything like that while using FreeBSD ports? If no,
How does ports know what are the versions of the latest packages?

Hello all,
I'm in the process of doing a mega-portupgrade and I've noticed that
certain ports use the dialog command to collect options from the user.
I've searched for a way to ensure that these dialogs won't show up and
the closest I've come to an answer is the 'make rmconfig' command in
the
#/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Apache also won't start if I bypass the apachectl script and start
it directly. However it doesn't report any errors either:
Some ideas, I may be off base here:
1. Is there anything being written to
About the asteriks : No they weren't but for some reason Thunderbird had
problems with the color remaining from the KATE Syntax-hilighting.
Anyway: thanks for the solusion, but what would be the expressions for
less or equal and greater or equal ?
Frank,
Since you're getting into shell

Great OS, but he wanted an editor. ;-)
Flame away :)
Hey, you asked for it. :)
Mike
Yes please: an editor plus integrated compile/build and debugger.
vim, emacs + make + gcc is all you need.

Hello all,
Is there a way to tell the ports system to try to fetch port
dependencies using the 'pkg_add' command rather than try to build the
dependency first from source?
Thanks!
