Looking for working USB flash drive

I'm looking for a USB flash drive (aka thumb drive or pen drive) that just works with 4.X. I recently bought such a device called "JetFlash" and made by Transcend. Even after adding an entry to the SCSI quirks table, it doesn't work. The kernel reports: uhub1: ACDC Inc. USB Hub, class

Bandwidth Monitor

Hi, I've looked high and low but I haven't be able to find the tool I want. I just want a simple way to see how many bandwidth/throughput my FreeBSD is using. For example I want to know how many kb/second are coming in and out of specific network cards. Eventually I will read these stats every min

Can't boot with FTP floppies

Hello again: Please disregard my prior e-mail, below, as I believe the problem was my ram memory is too small on the computer. I tried your floppies on a 24 meg ram computer and they work fine. The computer I had been trying load on was a DEC with 8 megs of ram. It worked on the earlier di

Re: Putting home directories on mounted windows network drive

You can put a larger hard drive into the machine, as long as you make the root/boot partition under the first two gigs. although your bios doesn't support large hard-drives, freebsd does. as far as i can tell, freebsd just doesnt get the hard drive info from teh bios. i had a 40 gig hard drive

Can't boot with FTP floppies

Hello: I downloaded your FTP boot floppies for versions 4.6, then 4.6.2, and 4.7, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, used FDImage to put them on MSDos floppies but they failed to get an options screen after both disks were loaded. Kern.flp loaded then the mfsroot.flp loaded but produced a boot prompt

Putting home directories on mounted windows network drive

Hi (Please CC any responses to me, as I get the digest version) Right now my FBSD firewall box is also my lightly-used ftp server with chrooted ftp users. An old machine (P133, 1.8 G Hard Drive) just got freed up, and I would like to move the ftp services over to that old thing. The problem is t
