FreeBSD File System Comparison
Is there any comparison that is easy for a non-kernel (Linux/Kernel) hacker to understand between other file systems? I've discovered that: * it's derived from something called the "Fast File System" * that I need to add a -o ufstype=44bsd when mounting it under linux * that it's not a journaling filesystem ..?

You probably need to read about how FreeBSD (and Linux and DOS for that matter) work out where commands should be looked for if you just type "commmand_foo". Look for discussions about PATH and the PATH variables.

Here's what happens: 1) fetchmail uses POP3 to speak to a POP3 server 2) it gets the mail and then uses SMTP to an SMTP server to deliver the mail Now, the SMTP server by default is localhost. You can configure fetchmail to talk to another host if that's your fancy. You probably need to enable a local listening Sendmail on your local host. Look for "sendmail" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf -- and choose one that seems to fit your needs. Make sure you know the implications of starting up an SMTP server such as sendmail before actually starting it up.

Re: Whats the deal?
Bryan, > option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT > > or > option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT=?? > > to the kernel? I tend to add a rule that is the equivalent of "accept everything" at 65534 or thereabouts _if_ and _only if_ I really want a firewall of this type. The reason why firewalls tend to default to DENY is that it's easier to ALLOW stuff you want rather than remember what STUFF you don't want. Whilst your users might scream if you accidentally deny ICQ/IRC/something else you shouldn't have denied, they'll be more upset if the system goes down because you forgot to close some insecure port and then lost the system so badly you needed to do a full rebuild...

Re: SAP DB on FreeBSD
Mike, > I would assume that SAP DB would work as well under Linux emulation, > but it would be cool if a native FreeBSD port effort was underway. > However, with 6000+ source files it sounds like a monster to port. The Handbook from 4.6 says that it runs under Linux; I've never tried it but it's under the section called "The Cutting Edge". I would assume that 4.7 hasn't broken it. My question would be, if it runs as (or almost as efficiently) under Linux emulation then why port such a huge project [apart from the obvious reason "because we can"]?

Mirror Command
The mirror command is saying: % ps axw | grep mirror 9704 p0- S 0:43.26 mirror redhat:ftp.netcraft.com.au:pub/redhat \ Failed to get file 550 linux/6.2/en/os/i386/misc/src/trees/tmp/glibc-\ 2.1.3-9.

At least it hasn't returned from the bg and told me it's died and it still appears to be doing *something*. Does anyone know whether that's a major problem or whether that's just mirror reporting something and continuing to mirror on? DSL -- I am big, it's the pictures that got small!

FreeBSD Slices on a PC Compatible Logical Device
Hi There, I partitioned my PC Compatible machine like this: /dev/hda1 - Normal partition /dev/hda2 - Normal partition /dev/hda3 - ~100 gigabyte logical partition There's no sectors left to make another normal partition. From what I can gather in the documentation, a FreeBSD slice (in this case one made for/by FreeBSD 6.1) needs to be in a normal partition. I've read the relevant parts of: the handbook, The Complete FreeBSD and I have also seen what the FreeBSD 6.1 installer would attempt to do. All of my reading seems to state that FreeBSD requires a "normal" partition to make its slice(s) in. That said, I seem to have a few options: 1. Somehow rearrange my partitions so that I can get a normal partition - GNU Parted would work except it doesn't seem to like XFS partitions 2. Reinstall my primary operating system (which happens to be Debian SID) and partition the disk such that I -can- put FreeBSD in an appropriate partition 3. Run FreeBSD under something like VMWare My other alternative would be to take a great leap and use FreeBSD exclusively and work out how to migrate my "home" data to FreeBSD. Therefore, my questions would be: 1. Is there a way (other than using VMWare) to get FreeBSD onto a partition inside the large logical partition I have? 2. If not, does anyone know of any free (as in beer) tools that would be able to move Linux partitions about with XFS filesystems? - I don't think GNU Parted likes XFS filesystems 3. Would VMWare be a solution to my dilemma? 4. Is there an option that I haven't considered [apart from panickin!]?

Re: FreeBSD Slices on a PC Compatible Logical Device
Jerry, Generally, FreeBSD needs a primary slice to boot and run. I assume what you are calling 'normal partition' is what is called a primary slice. Thanks - I had a mental blank as to what to call primary slices :) My suggestion is to shrink that 'logical partition' and make a 4th slice that is primary and put FreeBSd there, unless one of those other 'normal partitions' are are not needed. Then, just use the installer to delete what is in the slice and create it with a FreeBSD slice and go from there.Alternately you can add a disk. I think that's what I'll attempt to do (i.e. shrink the logical partition).
