enlarge a filesystem
I have a drive with two filesystems. /dev/da1s1d 412G 337G 42G 89% and /dev/da1s1e 130G 19M 119G 0% I need the space on da1s1e. Does FreeBSD have any mechanism to enlarge s1d after I delete s1e ?

Does FreeBSD have any mechanism to enlarge s1d after I delete s1e ? These are normal FreeBSD UFS2 filesystems? Does the s1e partition follow the s1d partition physically on the disk -- look at the partition layout using bsdlabel to check that? If so, then yes. growfs(8) is your friend. The procedure is to edit the disk label to remove the s1e partition and extend the s1d partition to fill the released space. Then use growfs to expand the filesystem to fill up the partition. Of course, make sure your data is very well backed up before you do anything else. bsdlabel and growfs are tools that work at very low levels of the system and that can cause complete mayhem with the slightest mistake.

Samba question
Hi All I am sure there is a simple answer to this but I google has not overly helped. I am trying to mount a samba share that is on a FreeBSD 8.2 server to another FreeBSD 8.2 server, Mount_smbfs -I IP //user@host/share /mountpoint It then asks for a password, I enter the users password and then get mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error Dmesg is showing smb_co_lock: recursive lock for object 1 I have samba integrated with Active Directory, so I then thought ah maybe adding the user to AD would help, so I have done so using the same password etc still no joy, I have make sure the user has access rights on the samba share, restarted samba and the same error persists, any ideas ?

Is that X libraries or the X server it's trying to install? The first is perfectly reasonable -- it's useful in general to be able to install an application which uses the X protocol to connect to a remote X server for its display, even if the machine where the application is installed is never going to have any sort of graphical display itself. If it's trying to install an X server, then something is a bit whiffy in the state of Denmark. That shouldn't happen in the ports without good reason. Also, you can turn off X11 support in audio/mumble using the OPTIONS framework -- use 'make config' to bring up the blue and grey dialogue. (The default is to turn off X11 support in mumble, but that doesn't necessarily mean that dependencies won't require X11 support...)

Re: portmaster -r libnotify-0 problems
Hi Mathew, On 09/09/2011 15:13, Scott Ballantyne wrote: I've been trying to update libnotify and libproxy following the instructions in UPDATING, which is to do portmaster -r libnotify-0 This trys to install ghostscript9, and fails. Apparently ghostscript9 conflicts with ghostscript8-8.71_6, which presumably is the reason for the failure. Could someone help me resolve this? The obvious solution of pkg_delete ghostscript8-8.71_6 doesn't work, because too many installed ports depend on ghostscript8-8.71_6. There are two approaches you might take here. Either * replace ghostscript8 with ghostscript9 or * work out why libnotify triggers a dependency on ghostscript9 and try and make it use ghostscript8 (or nothing) instead. The first is a relatively mechanical process, which should work fine from the point of view of doing all the port wrangling, but might result in further ghostscript8 vs ghostscript9 problems down the line. Just run: # portmaster -o print/ghostscript9 ghostscript8- That will change the dependency settings in your /var/db/pkg directory, which may or may not be appropriate for all ghostscript dependent ports, and indeed some may not work at all. (Although I rather doubt the simply not-working thing: functionality between those versions hasn't changed much at all.) The second is a more satisfying fix. Lets see... Try defining WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER=8 in /etc/make.conf (the default is 9 nowadays) -- then try reinstalling libnotify according to the instructions in UPDATING. Read /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for the details -- search for GHOSTSCRIPT to find the relevant bits. Thanks so much, I am in your debt. However, I also feel that I am in maze of twisty little passages, all different. The next step here is to portmaster -r libproxy-0, where I get: --- === Currently installed version: libproxy-0.4.6 === Port directory: /usr/ports/net/libproxy === Gathering distinfo list for installed ports === Launching 'make checksum' for net/libproxy in background === Gathering dependency list for net/libproxy from ports === Initial dependency check complete for net/libproxy === Checking ports that depend on libproxy-0.4.6 === Launching child to reinstall alacarte-0.13.2_1 libproxy-0.4.6 alacarte-0.13.2_1 === Port directory: /usr/ports/deskutils/alacarte === No DISTINFO_FILE in /usr/ports/x11-themes/gnome-art === Aborting update Terminated Terminated === Update for alacarte-0.13.2_1 failed === Aborting update -- gnome-art is peculiar.

I'm just chiming in on points 3 and 7 On 20 Aug 2011, at 05:47, Evan Busch wrote: What is a quality operating system? I work as a database developer in an SME. I support end users on Mac OSX and Windows XP .. Windows Vista clients, and Windows 2008, FreeBSD and SuSE linux servers. Of these, the FreeBSD servers give least trouble. For non-techie users, usually but not always the OS X people have fewer problems. I collect OSs, and I've always found the ideal of an OS interesting, so I try to use as many as I can. Of the massive amount of OSs I own, my favorites, have always been these: For Windows - Windows 2000, Windows 7 Linux - Slackware SuSE Debian Mandriva when they don't screw it up. SUSE is my favorite though by far. I used it for a LONG time as my main OS, and I've LOVED it. I also used it on my Laptop, and on my Servers, and not once had any real issues. I did have to help a few people new to it realize that Yast2 came in a non-GUI style too, by simply typing yast while in an X-Term, or, without a GUI loaded at all with a normal shell. I also love the Dependency tracking it had when I used it on my Servers where I was doing something as a project; I could set up a machine to do testing on, where I would have an FTP Server running, SSH running, and so on, and then, also use it as a Desktop, just to see how it would run. Well, when you have that much crap installed, if you realize any given package is giving you problems, or you don't like it, and want to get rid of it, you could simply click on Check Dependencies and even while installing, it would look at everything you'd selected, and if it found anything, pop up a menu that allowed you to get rid of what you wanted, and then it would show you if anything would break when you did so, and, allow you to either get rid of those as well, or, select new options. I wish FreeBSD did this but ah well. FreeBSD is my favorite BSD in general, but I am starting to LOVE PC-BSD, which is basically FreeBSD with some really nice tools, and a pretty paint job, from what I've seen so far. In his view, and now mine, a quality operating system is reliable, streamlined and clearly organized. That is hard to disagree with Yea, I'd have to agree with a few of my own thoughts: In MY person view, a good OS, is one that can do what you want it to do, AND what you NEED it to do, isn't overly complex for no reason, is stable, AND secure. Reliability and Stability, being related, is something I take very VERY high up. I don't like unstable OSs. And I've tried quite a few. When I used to be in college, there was a guy there who LOVED Windows. And I couldn't understand how someone who was, by all means, fairly intelligent, could think it was even OK for a Server OS like Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, came, with a default install, WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!!! I mean first, I get that they'd want to make that available if it was needed for something But, an ENTERPRISE EDITION OS coming out of the box, with Windows Media Player installed by default Why Why would a Server need a Media Player? And why would they allow one that's had a host of security issues over the years? I couldn't understand that at all, and still can't, since the guy I mentioned, could never give a good enough excuse. Especially considering that a Server should not EVER have down time because the admin had to install patches for a MEDIA PLAYER, and then, was required to reboot the damn thing because of it. (3) Horrible documentation. This is my specialty and has been since the early 1980s. The FreeBSD documentation is wordy, disorganized, inconsistent and highly selective in what it mentions. It is not the product of professionals but it also not the product of volunteers with a focus on communication. It seems pro-forma, as in, it's in the documentation, so don't bother me. The web site compounds this error by pointing us in multiple directions instead of to a singular resource. It is bad enough that man pages are separate from your main documentation tree, but now you have doubled or trebled the workload required of you without any benefit to the end user. I personally find the documentation that comes as part of the install and the documentation on the FreeBSD website EASIER to use and more complete than any alternatives I use on a regular basis. I've seen some bad documentation in my time, but FreeBSD, has rarely been a culprit... The FreeBSD Docs that are installed, are great, and then, the books you can buy, are amazing. I own every book you can get from the FreeBSD Mall, except a PC-BSD book. I think there may be ONE other, but other than those two, I own them all. And I Love them. My favorite is a toss up between The Complete FreeBSD and FreeBSD Unleashed. The Web site is also great, and the search function, works better than some. (7)

There is also a part add the end of the disk that needs to be wiped, not only the start of the disk. regards, Johan Hendriks Thanks that little script at http://wiki.freenas.org/faq:0129 did the trick. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Per default, the username root is defined for the system administrator, and has an _empty_ password. You can add a username for yourself (see adduser command) and define your own password. Password changes are done using the passwd interactive command; see man passwd for details. You'll find excellent documentation about FreeBSD on the main web site.

Re: get rel 9.0 iso
To build FreeBSD 9.0 on USB stick for the old computer, host computer would be new amd64, cross-compiling for i386. I see default /var partition size for new FreeBSD installations was to be 4 GB, so I might be safer with 16 GB rather than 8 GB USB stick, even though there would be no need to install system source and ports tree on the USB stick. But I had already decided that I was not going to have separate partitions for /tmp, /var and /usr, but would want a separate partition for /home, except possibly on a USB stick. Now it looks like FreeBSD 9.0-to-be is pushing the idea of installing on GPT; even the memstick installation disk, where traditional MBR partitioning scheme would fit comfortably, uses GPT. I could build one kernel that would support the hardware on both computers, or one kernel for each computer. FreeBSD itself can run comfortably in well under 256 MB RAM. Resource hogs are the big applications: KDE, GNOME, bigger web browsers, multimedia, Adobe Flash Player, printers. Servers, not needing all the fancy stuff, can be set up on old computers as long as they're in good condition.

Yes, in this case you would need to cross-compile. I see default /var partition size for new FreeBSD installations was to be 4 GB, so I might be safer with 16 GB rather than 8 GB USB stick, even though there would be no need to install system source and ports tree on the USB stick. Those would have been installed on the /usr partition, not on /var. I think 8 GB might be a quite huge partition, but that will depend on what you intend to use your server for. In some cases /var won't get bigger than 1 GB, on other cases it might fill up quite quickly. % df -h /var Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1e989M133M776M15%/var This is an example from my home system - you can see that /var is hardly used. But I had already decided that I was not going to have separate partitions for /tmp, /var and /usr, but would want a separate partition for /home, except possibly on a USB stick. That's a good idea, so you can get rid of partition size calculations. But note that some temporary process might fill /tmp and therefore affect the _whole_ partition that also contains /usr. But maybe that won't be a problem as you put /home somewhere else. Now it looks like FreeBSD 9.0-to-be is pushing the idea of installing on GPT; even the memstick installation disk, where traditional MBR partitioning scheme would fit comfortably, uses GPT. You can easily apply GTP partitions for the same purpose, e. g. da0p1 for / (including /tmp, /var and /usr subtrees) and da0p2 for /home if you want them on _one_ media - or put da0p1 covering the whole stick to be mounted as /, and da1p1 (second USB media) for /home. I could build one kernel that would support the hardware on both computers, or one kernel for each computer. One for each, as you probably will use AMD64 kernel on the bigger machine. But you still _can_ use i386 on both of them except you intendedly _require_ AMD64 functionality on the bigger machine. FreeBSD itself can run comfortably in well under 256 MB RAM. Yes, the OS has no problem booting fast even on such limited hardware. Resource hogs are the big applications: KDE, GNOME, bigger web browsers, multimedia, Adobe Flash Player, printers. Uhm... printers??? Oh, maybe CUPS, yes. :-) You can _still_ build workstation systems on limited hardware, but you have to be _very_ picky about the applications you use. For example, I have a 300 MHz P2 workstation that runs XFCE 3, Opera 8, mplayer (compiled because of getting the best optimization!), OpenOffice 2, xmms and LaTeX. This system runs well and is still quite usable. Servers, not needing all the fancy stuff, can be set up on old computers as long as they're in good condition. I completely agree, as I'm following this philosophy myself. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
