Now this is very interesting indeed. 80,000 subdirectories is quite a lot.. As is a grand total of more than 10,000,000 files. Hmmm... and you see the find problem just when searching within the structure under directoryA? I think you have found a bug, although whether it is in find(1), the filesystem or elsewhere is not clear. Given that 'ls -R' shows the same problem, the bug could be in fts(3).

Re: Is it worthy upgrading to 9.0 ?
Hi, I cannot tell how often I have said this already. I stay with the even branches until the next even branch comes out. Currently, the machine here runs 8.3 and will stick to 8 until 10.0 or 10.1 will arrive at the scene. But for technical reasons, I have left one machine on 7 after the upgrade from 6 to 8 failed. It is a very old machine and some hardware support got dropped.

As am entirely fresh to FreeBSD i would like to know more about how can configure or install it. The best place to start is by reading the Handbook. Here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ One thing that may surprise you is that FreeBSD itself is just the OS kernel, the core libraries and a number of command-line utilities. If you want a windowing system, then you'll need to install one from ports. Similarly, you'll need to install Ruby and all the other gubbins to make your RoR applications work, but the ports makes that pretty easy. Alternatively, you might find PC-BSD easier to get along with. This is a fully featured desktop system built around FreeBSD but with all the usual sort of desktop applications already included. Get it here: http://www.pcbsd.org/ As it's FreeBSD underneath, it makes a good system to learn about FreeBSD before setting up a pure FreeBSD server. Am using Windows OS in my personal system.How can i install FreeBSD in my local system and do a try before configuring in main server directly... You can install FreeBSD as a guest OS in a virtualization system quite readily. It works pretty well with most VMs -- VirtualBox is known to work well, and it's free but whatever you're used to should be fine. Alternatively you can download a DVD or USB MemStick image, and boot from that as a live-system without trashing whatever you already have installed. If you can free up a disk, or a partition (about 5GB is the absolute minimum needed for a useful system, but more is better), then you can install FreeBSD there and make your machine dual boot. Or you can just blow away whatever is on the machine already and start from ground-zero with nothing but FreeBSD. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are quite well versed in FreeBSD already, as otherwise you'll find it quite frustrating before you learn the ropes, and your productivity will nosedive as you do that...

In other words, if all tasks on the above page are ticked, does this aumtomatically give 100% compliance, or is it not that simple? It is not that simple, POSIX is more a set of norms than a norm by itself. There are Posix aspects that are not in FreeBSD and probably never will be, other aspects that do exist in FreeBSD but you should definitly not use them as they are painfull to use or flawed or both (Posix capabilities for exemple). Also there are systems that do support a fair part of Posix, but which are just a pain to use in a Posix compatible environment, basically requiring you to code quite a lot of tools to have a Posix environment. Basically Windows Server supports quite a good deal of Posix norms, and it works well for small projects or simple programs, but if you want to create a Posix compliant distributed datastore you are in for a hell of a ride. Linux is becoming basically the same, in that more and more core system tools have dependencies on Linux specific API. (And I won't talk about MacOS X) A good way of making a presentation would be to first look at what aspects of Posix you need and try to find out where these aspect are best supported. Now a simple and true enough answer would be to say that FreeBSD has one of the broader _and most usable_ Posix support, second only to Solaris. (Way better than AIX and on par with HP-UX in my humble opinion). It is mostly true in the sense that FreeBSD does support quite a lot of Posix norms including the latest ones. It is false int the sense that AIX, HP-UX IRIX and quite alot of others have a 100% certified compliance for some (quite old now) Posix norms. CF : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification#BSD_descendants At one point FreeBSD was very close to be fully Posix compliant with norm 1.e, then norm 1.e was more or less thrown out the windows, and posix norming system pretty much imploded at this time. So basically it is quite hard to answer without first knowing exactly why you need Posix compliance. It is also worth noting that porting an application from one fully compliant OS to another is not always easier than porting from that OS to a non compliant one. Quite a lot of problems can arise in slightly different interpretations of the norm, and quite a lot of assumption that are correct under one system will require carefull tweaking and lib binding in another.

Re: fixating USB Storage
The real issue is that the USB boot device sits at da16 and if any of the da members below da16 drops, the usb boot device becomes da15 at next boot. The loader.conf still looks at da6 for root device and that is not present.

Webcam Selection
Hi all, After a number of years just lying in desk drawer my old Logitech spherical webcam died. So, I'm looking for a new one. It's not that I use it a lot. My wife will be heading out of province to our son's place next month to be there for the birth of our first grandson. The plan was to use a webcam to send back pictures later (not on the day of, of course but a week later). Anyhow I need to replace the old with a new webcam. The last time I used the old webcam it was hooked up to a Windows XP system. I've since retired that machine, along with the retirement of three FreeBSD machines, leaving me with a few servers and my FreeBSD laptop. I'm hoping to use the webcam with Pidgin with MSN. Can anyone suggest a brand and model? It needs to have good image quality and needs to work with FreeBSD 9.0. Any suggestions? -- Cheers, Cy Schubert cy.schub...@komquats.com FreeBSD UNIX: c...@freebsd.org Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. ___ 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

Re: Delete files let FreeBSD crashes.
Thanks .

Re: Simple question about pkg_add ...
Hi Polytropon. I did have a look inside and I did pkg_add -v which gives enough information combined with my meagre knowledge to guess that it had something to do with source. I'm so unfamiliar with pkg_add I'm not sure if that is normal. I'm very new here. Certainly it's not in a suitable format for pkg_add to deal with.

I did have a look inside and I did pkg_add -v which gives enough information combined with my meagre knowledge to guess that it had something to do with source. A port (as you can find it inside the archive) is a recipe for dealing with sources, e. g. where to obtain then, how to compile, where to install to and so on. The ports collection of the FreeBSD OS is used to deal with handling software based on sources: configure, patch, build, install, deinstall, upgrade and similar tasks. See man ports for a better explaination. I'm so unfamiliar with pkg_add I'm not sure if that is normal. The pkg_add utility installs programs from binary packages. Those packages are created by compiling a port - typically with its default options. Those packages are built for the FreeBSD ports collection and made available by the FreeBSD team. External packages, created outside the world of FreeBSD ports, are possible. See man pkg_add for details. I'm very new here. Certainly it's not in a suitable format for pkg_add to deal with. Correct. A pkg_add package typically contains compiled stuff, i. e. binaries, and a packaging list for installation and later removal. Additional tasks can also be scripted. I guess pkg_add is the preferred option for firmware installation. It's used to install programs (or libraries) to the FreeBSD system. The use with firmware is also possible. Basically, ports (from source) and packages (precompiled binaries) have the same purpose: Get things installed. If the maintainer would compile the port (that he provided for download) and give the proper URL of the result in the manpage, pkg_add would work as intended. I'll contact the maintainer. That would be a good idea as the description you quoted from the manpage is technically not correct. Option 1: Provide a pkg_add-able package. Option 2: Provide instructions on how to deal with the port. -- 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
