NTFS-3G not mounting the partition during boot
Hi, I have a problem mounting my NTFS partition at boot using ntfs-3g. A little search got me to add the following ntfsmount startup script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ -- #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: ntfsmount # REQUIRE: fusefs . /etc/rc.subr name="ntfsmount" rcvar=`set_rcvar` command="ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows && ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8" load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1" -- and then to run " chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntfsmount " in order to make it executable. After that, I added the line ntfsmount_enable="YES" to my /etc/rc.conf, and then rebooted. I did not see any error messages during boot, but the partition was not mounted. However, if I run ntfs-3g from the command prompt to mount the windows partition, it works. I am using fusefs-kmod-0.3.0_5 fusefs-libs-2.7.0_1 fusefs-ntfs-1.710 Any ideas what's going on here? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

For some reason that I'm not 100% clear on, the USB configuration has to be activated before the blackberry will charge. My first thought was that the port would go into a power-save mode if there was no driver attached. However those little USB lamps and such manage to bleed quite a bit of power off the port and don't require a driver, so I'm not so sure... In any case, OpenBSD has a dummy driver that I ported over a while back. It's in my local tree; here is a copy that's been extracted so that it can be compiled standalone: http://www.severious.net/uberry.tar.gz Just extract the tarball, cd into the uberry dir, and run 'make'. It will create a .ko file that you can put in your /boot/modules/. Load it like any other kernel module and you should be good the next time you plug it in.

Ok, but using -L causes dump to create a filesystem snapshot, which is read- only, meaning that nobody can delete a file from it during the dump process.

For the laptop, its just sitting and watching it go through 915 files for an update to a small program that doesn't rely on anything but perl. For my Soekris, it IS bothersome. CF cards have a limited life, and all those rewrites decrease it. So I guess its the new way it does it then.

The first thing dump does is create a list of files (including directories) to dump. It creates a list of inodes for the files and then does all the dumping from that list of inodes. If a file is then deleted after that inode list is made, then it will not get written to the dump media. But, the list will still have the inode for the file. When restore looks for files, it searches in inode order and makes a note if an inode is missing from the media that it expected (because of the list) to be there.It is only a true error if that file really should have been there and wasn't. The only time I have had that happen was when the media (tape) couldn't be read properly. Usually then you also get other errors. jerry > -- > Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN > sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Installing from USB Flash Drive
Written by fbsd2 on 08/04/07 07:42>> I was really taken with the idea for using a USB flash stick disk drive to install FreeBSD from. I used the script from the mentioned URL below as the starting point. After some changes to the script I got it to work. I was able to boot off the USB flash stick disk drive, But then was faced with a show stopper. During the sysinstall process after it asks for hard drive fdisk and bsdlable info it asks you for where to get the install files from (IE: cdrom, remote ftp, floppy, dos partition, ECT) there is no option to tell the sysinstall program to use USB-dd as source location. So in summary, this idea is un-usable until the sysinstall program gets updated to include an option to use USB-dd as an install source. This brings to light another problem. That is using floppies to install FreeBSD from. PC manufactures are no longer building systems with floppies drives included. Combining the FreeBSD floppy images to a single USB-dd image would be away to continue to offer this method of installing FreeBSD. Included below is my working script to populate a 1GB USB flash stick disk with the FreeBSD cd1 iso file. #!/bin/sh #Purpose = Use to transfer the FreeBSD install cd1 to # a bootable 1GB USB flash drive so it can be used to install from. # First fetch the FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso to your # hard drive /usr. Then execute this script from the command line # fbsd2usb /usr/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso /usr/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.img # Change system bios to boot from USB-dd and away you go. # NOTE: This script has to be run from root and your 1GB USB flash drive # has to be plugged in before running this script. # On the command line enter fbsd2usb iso-path img-path # You can set some variables here.

I plan on using a USB flash drive to do the job and found a messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg55434.html) about just such a thing. The script provided converts the CD image into one suitable for a flashmemory stick. I used and coverted it without issue.

FreeBSD Installation Suggestion
Hello, I'm about to install FreeBSD for the first time on a new machine and have a few questions: 1) The motherboard is an Intel DQ964GF, which uses the ICH8 chipset. Is it better to use this in IDE or AHCI mode? (The system will be booting from a S-ATA disk) 2) Are there any good documents discussing the relative merits of using i386 / amd64? 3) Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to perform the installation. The machine has no floppy or CD-ROM drive, and it's not really convenient to temporarily add them as I may well end up going through the install procedure several times. The options seem to be either a USB flash drive (any thoughts on how to get a UFS file system and FreeBSD MBR on there using only WinXP), or via the network.

FreeBSD Qemu host with 5-8 virtual machines for Linux
Hello, I'm using Qemu (0.8.2) and kqemu (1.3.0.p11) in my FreeBSD 6.2-REL laptop, but only from time to time, mostly to edit some Winword docs when the addressed people don't like OpenOffice stuff. We are a software company and need to test our applications in Linux environment. Actually this is done on some Linux host with 6 GByte RAM and VMWare Workstation 4.5.2. It seems that there is some limitation not allowing more RAM for the guest systems as real RAM in the host, i.e. 6 GByte as max. I'm thinking in reinstalling this server with FreeBSD and using Qemu for the VM's. The idea is to have at least 5-8 VM's running at the same time, each with 1-2 GByte (virt.) RAM.

Re: portsdb and cvsup
Thanks for your story. The only reason we used -U was that we were not sure what they meant got special macros. The man page for portsdb status that you only use -U if you have special macros in /etc/make.conf. All we have in there is version information so I think that does not apply to use.

Now portsdb crashes due to the emacs entry in /etc/make.conf. However, I see very little chatter on the lists about this. I have started to wonder if the bulk of the community may be updating their ports differently. Upon some limited research I found that I could use: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 0 /usr/sup/supfile /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Fu This work fine for me. I can then use tools such as pkg_version, pkg_delete, portinstall and portupgrade without any problems. My open ended question is what does the rest of the community do to update their ports collection? I don't run portsdb at all. :) What I figured from the portsdb manpages is that if you don't run it manually then it gets run upon using one of the portupgrade tools. I don't mind the 30s or so delay that causes and so I don't run portsdb manually. During my first few days with FreeBSD, however, I used to run ''portsdb -Fu''. My understanding is that that would fetch the INDEX-6 and update INDEX-6.db (since I am on FreeBSD 6.x) but I don't see why I should do this coz the INDEX files are updated when I update the ports tree anyways! (If I have understood this incorrectly, someone please correct me). I tried ''portsdb -Uu'' just once. To see what it does. Took a long time and so I never tried it again. From the manpage I understand that it creates/ updates the INDEX files by running the ''make index'' command, but the reasoning behind that didn't make sense to me ... So that's my story.

setfacl(1) - Can FreeBSD's ACLs contain groups from NT/AD domains ?
Hi all, I have "FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #1: Wed Jul 25" authenticating successfully against active directory via samba's winbindd(8). I need to manage samba shares via FreeBSD ACLs and CIFS ACLs. From my reading of setfacl(1) I should be able to set group permissions using the syntax of DOMAIN\group-name. For example: #setfacl -d -m g:"MYDOMAIN\mygroupname":rwx test However, when I do this on FreeBSD -CURRENT I get the following error: #setfacl -d -m g:"MYDOMAIN\mygroupname":rwx test setfacl: g:MYDOMAIN\mygroupname: Invalid argument >From a quick Google it looks like Linux ACLs can do the aforementioned [http://www.techtutorials.net/blogs/index.php?mode=viewuser&user_id=7].

I have never seen any data loss, I gave an example below. The file "wins.dat" was not dumped. It is indeed missing from the tape. If this is not a data loss, what is it then?

Somehow I though since the old seems to be in italics that you needed to change it with the old kernel name (which in my case was GENERIC) Back up and running.
