Re: FreeBSD 9.1 fails to boot from CD on Notebook
seems that some notebooks the bios loads part of the boot from the HD first before trying to boot from the CD, so when the CD boots, the system expects some windows stuff, when it sees FreeBSD, it reboots... Solution I found: 1) get/buy another HD for notebook (here a 320GB costs U$100) 2) make sure the HD is NOT INITIALIZED (blank) 3) install the FreeBSD in the HD in a desktop machine that for sure boots FreeBSD 4) open the notebook, install the FreeBSD HD in the notebook, usually a door under the notebook 5) boot from the HD Here for me it worked.. Beware that some notebooks you may void warranty if you install another OS than windows... that is why I still have the original HD with windows8 inside.. If there is a problem with the notebook, I can always replace the original HD and return it to factory.. ___ 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: UEFI Secure Boot
Hello, You can call me naive, but until today, I could not find only a one user that wants to use FreeBSD and/or LInux AND windows in any machine I mount/sold, and I have mount it by the dozen, servers running FreeBSD, notebooks running a custom version of Arch Linux... In the freeBSD servers, when a user needs windows for some reason mainly access bank account or enterprise small business I use Virtualbox and I offer him NT2003 server (32 bits), windows 7(64) or windows XP(32). all work fine with a server running FreeBSD 9, 16GB of memory, 500GB of zfs mirrored disks. This small server, running on an AMD FX8120 (8cores) processor costs about U$600 and can hold 40 users running on the virtualbox NT 2003... without problem, and the FreeBSD part can hold gnome 2.32, pf, webserver, firewall, dhcp, printer server, scanner, wireless server, vpn, vlan, asterisk for telephony, even a cloud server running on top of apache using webdav... On the notebooks, the Arch linux runs like a charm, very fast integrated with the FreeBSD server. if a user needs access to the company software or bank software(that runs only on IE8) a rdesktop session is used (tsclient). Besides the FreeBSD does diskless stations too.. So the question: Why or when will I need an secure UEFI boot??? Thank you for ANY comment...

Re: Virtual Box on FreeBSD Server
I use Virtualbox and FreeBSD 9, or 10 as the base OS and the windows 2003server, 2008 server, running in the virtualbox, My cpu is an AMD8120 8cores with 16GB of memory, the filesystem is in ZFS, I put 2Gb for each windows, and the system runs confortable with 20 users in each windows machine.. (total of 40 users) The boot (cold boot) for the 2003 server (32 bits) is about 10 seconds with an drive of 20GB and another of 400GB (in the virtualbox...) the NIC is configure with bridge, the FreeBSD gives address via dhcp server... both windows run with VboxHeadless and are both enable terminal servers Runs like a charm... ___ 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: Solution for school lab just a thought
You should look into the Freebsd port qjail. At our school lab all the pcs have ms/windows on the hard drive with the putty client installed. Students use putty to get logged into a jail on a single Freebsd system. Each student can practice installing ports, packages, or one of the desktop window environments in their private jail. The goal being to teach students to be system administrators. Humm Interesting... In my case the computers runs FreeBSD (diskless) and they need do access windows system. In a public school, where the $$$ is the main problem, I think this is the solution. Here the school has computers (a lot) that receives from donation, projects... from time to time the problem is the software... What to teach to children??? word, exel, powerpoint, msn??? is this teaching??? I think that children (and teenagers too), must face problems and resolve them. the world belongs tho those that work in group. those who can get answers, so an account in a desktop environment (in my case: gnome) with several program languages, internet access, text composing (libreoffice), postscript printing (cups), some IDE (anjuta, eclipse), multimedia (ffmpeg, avidemux2, openshot, dvdstyler) can make the difference. They can download small videos from their phones, and produce digital media, share it on DVDs... the home lesson is send via email (everyone has email).. One problem is hand-witten... no one wants to hand write now... Those who foresee the future, can learn how to code GUI interface, and so produce software for the community. They can learn how to install admin FreeBSD servers, share files in the network, use webdav to share files in internet... and so on... There is a need for people with this knowledge... The society will buy from the students as long as they produce good software.. What is the other alternative??? finish high school and than look for a job??? XXI century there is no jobs, there will be working people... Those who can succeed working for himself will rule.. That is what I teach to my boys...

Solution for school lab
I use a solution that is: 1) a large Freebsd box (phenon X4,8Gb of memory, 1TB disk) 2) OS=Freebsd 8.2 with all gnome2.32 installed 3) Virtualbox 10.x installed in FreeBSD 4) NT 2003 server with unlimited number of users on rdp (the iso is in internet or torrent). 5) internet connection Here this would cost about US$400 Install the system using zfs, insert all users can hold about 1000 users Setup FreeBSD to boot diskless (and so will run on all the old machines in your place) using either pxe or custom CD. The users will use Gnome interface, and those who wants windows, can use via rdesktop, pointing on the NT server on the same machine. You will need a swith with ONE gigabit port, and the others is 100Mbits... This setup you have: about 1200 applictions (from the FreBSDports), some include: java, eclipse, python, c, c++, multimedia, web browing, office, printing, email, chat, calculator, vector drawing, dia (visio), raster image editor (gimp), monodevelop(.NET devel framework), sql (postgresql), sql administration (pgadmin3).

Re: Solution for school lab
Consider installing VMWare ESXi and instances of whatever operating system you like. We have template operating systems we copy to new/replacement instances. You can export your disks to the instances but with all things you gain some, you loose some. with the small machine (phenon 4, 8Gb), and vmware, the sistems is slow... and the MB does not accept more than 8GB. Besides I would need a version of each operating system for VMWARE.. and I do not know if vmware can be used for free. If even in a school you can, in other places you cannot, so I would cope with several platforms... Here I run a business based on FreeBSD, and the less different solutions the better... As someone else mentioned, consider netboot. The booted instance can do whatever they want to your hardware but disks are likely to have to be re-initialized each time, which is fine if you are using disks for swap and other temporary things. I use PXE because it is in the firmware of the MB... (almost always have)... some very old computers, does not boot anything but: floppy, cd, or HD... I choose CD.. one CD, boot all machines... Netboot is great too... With regard to VirtualBox, someone needs to fix it (probably just update the port). The network driver (IIRC) eats memory. Strange I have been using it in a day basis, and never had problems with that... the machine sometimes suffer power failure (3 months, or 1 month period)..

The advantage of using graid3 at this point is that the extra 1TB drive I have can then go into the backup server which needs more space anyway. Having suffered data loss on the previous raid5 (intel matrix) array when UFS went bananas due to one drive failing, I am looking at solutions/preventatives. Will gjournal be useful?

Re: Issue upgrading to 7.4, looking for guidance
For me I used a quick and dirty solution for upgrade 1) build a machine (or a virtual one...) with the freebsd version you want, for example=8.2 cvsup the kernel in /usr/src 2) export KERNCONF=xx the name of the kernel config file you want to build 3) cd /usr/src;make buildworld buildkernel 4) mkdir /tmp/dist 5) export DESTDIR=/tmp/dist 6) make installworld installkernel 7) (cd /tmp/dist;tar cvzf - * ) /tmp/newsystem.tar.gz 8) move the newsystem.tar.gz to the machine you want to upgrade 9) /rescue/tar -xpvf newsystem.tar.gz -C / the system will not respond to comands any more because of rewrite of almost all libs... so the solution is fastboot When the system comes up, it shows the release you built from this way you can go from 7.0 to 8.2 in one single step. for me it worked in internet all times but, you are warned: use at you own risk...

I realize that it is very difficult and would take a lot of time. The solution :I will try is to make money selling servers, and cryptography (gely) virtual desktops using vnc, access to remote windows running on virtualboxes... and with this money, hire people in the internet (or in the freeBSD community) to finish the missing parts, and than donate the code back to freebsd... That is not a lot of money, for what I see, about US$5000.00 a month would fix a lot of things. and is is cheaper that hire employees here and pay all the costs... This way, I can make what I do best: the Servers, virtualboxes, selling, support, databases. and let the other things (printers, wireless network manager=wicd, printer, scanner, webcam, ekiga, some crap notebooks...) to a stuff hired in internet...

The problem is that some plugins did not offer the startup entries that gnome (glib) wants. so FreeBSD tries to resolv the entry using dlsym(...) and search the entire user address space for that... a simple patch for the plugins and e-util/e-plugin.c module solved the problem and now evolution starts in 3 seconds... follow is the base64 encode of the patch to use, save the patch, say: evolution.fix extract with b64decode evolution.fix, move the file to: /usr/ports/mail/evolution/files, build evolution with: cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution;make reinstall *cut* begin-base64 644 patch-plugins LS0tIHBsdWdpbnMvZ3JvdXB3aXNlLWFjY291bnQtc2V0dXAvZ3JvdXB3aXNlLWFjY291bnQtc2V0 dXAuYy5vcmlnCTIwMDktMTItMTQgMDM6NTY6MDEuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wMjAwCisrKyBwbHVnaW5z L2dyb3Vwd2lzZS1hY2NvdW50LXNldHVwL2dyb3Vwd2lzZS1hY2NvdW50LXNldHVwLmMJMjAxMC0w My0wNyAwMTozOTo1MC42OTEwNDk2MDAgLTAzMDAKQEAgLTEzNiwzICsxMzYsMTEgQEAKIAogCXJl dHVybiBOVUxMOwogfQorCitjaGFyICpnX21vZHVsZV9jaGVja19pbml0KCkgeworCWdfd2Fybmlu ZygiJXMgIG9uICVzXG4iLF9fRlVOQ1RJT05fXyxfX0ZJTEVfXyk7cmV0dXJuIE5VTEw7Cit9CisK K2NoYXIgKmdfbW9kdWxlX3VubG9hZCAoKSB7CisJZ193YXJuaW5nKCIlcyAgb24gJXNcbiIsX19G VU5DVElPTl9fLF9fRklMRV9fKTtyZXR1cm4gTlVMTDsKK30KLS0tIHBsdWdpbnMvcHN0LWltcG9y dC9wc3QtaW1wb3J0ZXIuYy5vcmlnCTIwMDktMTItMTQgMDM6NTY6MDEuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wMjAw CisrKyBwbHVnaW5zL3BzdC1pbXBvcnQvcHN0LWltcG9ydGVyLmMJMjAxMC0wMy0wNiAyMjoyNDox My4xMzEzODMyNzkgLTAzMDAKQEAgLTE3MzksMyArMTczOSwxNiBAQAogCiAJcmV0dXJuIHJvb3Ru YW1lOwogfQorCitjaGFyICpnX21vZHVsZV9jaGVja19pbml0KCkgeworCWdfd2FybmluZygiJXMg IG9uICVzXG4iLF9fRlVOQ1RJT05fXyxfX0ZJTEVfXyk7cmV0dXJuIE5VTEw7Cit9CisKK2NoYXIg KmdfbW9kdWxlX3VubG9hZCAoKSB7CisJZ193YXJuaW5nKCIlcyAgb24gJXNcbiIsX19GVU5DVElP Tl9fLF9fRklMRV9fKTtyZXR1cm4gTlVMTDsKK30KKwordm9pZCAqZV9wbHVnaW5fbGliX2VuYWJs ZSgpIHsKKwlnX3dhcm5pbmcoIiVzIG9uICVzXG4iLF9fRlVOQ1RJT05fXywgX19GSUxFX18pOwor CXJldHVybiBOVUxMOworfQotLS0gcGx1Z2lucy9iYmRiL2JiZGIuYy5vcmlnCTIwMDktMTItMTQg MDM6NTY6MDEuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wMjAwCisrKyBwbHVnaW5zL2JiZGIvYmJkYi5jCTIwMTAtMDMt MDcgMDI6MDM6MTIuMTU0NjQ1NjcxIC0wMzAwCkBAIC03MTYsMyArNzE2LDExIEBACiAJZ19vYmpl Y3RfdW5yZWYgKHN0dWZmLT5zb3VyY2VfbGlzdCk7CiAJZ19mcmVlIChzdHVmZik7CiB9CisKK2No YXIgKmdfbW9kdWxlX2NoZWNrX2luaXQoKSB7CisJZ193YXJuaW5nKCIlcyAgb24gJXNcbiIsX19G VU5DVElPTl9fLF9fRklMRV9fKTtyZXR1cm4gTlVMTDsKK30KKworY2hhciAqZ19tb2R1bGVfdW5s b2FkICgpIHsKKwlnX3dhcm5pbmcoIiVzICBvbiAlc1xuIixfX0ZVTkNUSU9OX18sX19GSUxFX18p O3JldHVybiBOVUxMOworfQotLS0gcGx1Z2lucy9wdWJsaXNoLWNhbGVuZGFyL3B1Ymxpc2gtY2Fs ZW5kYXIuYy5vcmlnCTIwMDktMTItMTQgMDM6NTY6MDEuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wMjAwCisrKyBwbHVn aW5zL3B1Ymxpc2gtY2FsZW5kYXIvcHVibGlzaC1jYWxlbmRhci5jCTIwMTAtMDMtMDcgMDE6NTE6 MDEuMDczOTczNDA3IC0wMzAwCkBAIC05MjksMyArOTI5LDExIEBACiAJCWVycm9yX3F1ZXVlX3No b3dfaWRsZV9pZCA9IGdfaWRsZV9hZGQgKGVycm9yX3F1ZXVlX3Nob3dfaWRsZSwgTlVMTCk7CiAJ Z19zdGF0aWNfbXV0ZXhfdW5sb2NrICgmZXJyb3JfcXVldWVfbG9jayk7CiB9CisKK2NoYXIgKmdf bW9kdWxlX2NoZWNrX2luaXQoKSB7CisJZ193YXJuaW5nKCIlcyAgb24gJXNcbiIsX19GVU5DVElP Tl9fLF9fRklMRV9fKTtyZXR1cm4gTlVMTDsKK30KKworY2hhciAqZ19tb2R1bGVfdW5sb2FkICgp IHsKKwlnX3dhcm5pbmcoIiVzICBvbiAlc1xuIixfX0ZVTkNUSU9OX18sX19GSUxFX18pO3JldHVy biBOVUxMOworfQotLS0gcGx1Z2lucy9jYWxkYXYvY2FsZGF2LXNvdXJjZS5jLm9yaWcJMjAwOS0x Mi0xNCAwMzo1NjowMS4wMDAwMDAwMDAgLTAyMDAKKysrIHBsdWdpbnMvY2FsZGF2L2NhbGRhdi1z b3VyY2UuYwkyMDEwLTAzLTA3IDAxOjUyOjE1LjM1ODY2Mjk0MiAtMDMwMApAQCAtNDYyLDMgKzQ2 MiwxMSBAQAogCXJldHVybiB3aWRnZXQ7CiB9CiAKKworY2hhciAqZ19tb2R1bGVfY2hlY2tfaW5p dCgpIHsKKwlnX3dhcm5pbmcoIiVzICBvbiAlc1xuIixfX0ZVTkNUSU9OX18sX19GSUxFX18pO3Jl dHVybiBOVUxMOworfQorCitjaGFyICpnX21vZHVsZV91bmxvYWQgKCkgeworCWdfd2FybmluZygi JXMgIG9uICVzXG4iLF9fRlVOQ1RJT05fXyxfX0ZJTEVfXyk7cmV0dXJuIE5VTEw7Cit9Ci0tLSBw bHVnaW5zL2dvb2dsZS1hY2NvdW50LXNldHVwL2dvb2dsZS1zb3VyY2UuYy5vcmlnCTIwMDktMTIt MTQgMDM6NTY6MDEuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wMjAwCisrKyBwbHVnaW5zL2dvb2dsZS1hY2NvdW50LXNl dHVwL2dvb2dsZS1zb3VyY2UuYwkyMDEwLTAzLTA3IDAxOjU0OjQwLjU3NzU0NjM0NyAtMDMwMApA QCAtODM2LDMgKzgzNiwxMSBAQAogCWlmIChjaGFuZ2VkKQogCQllX3NvdXJjZV9saXN0X3N5bmMg KHNvdXJjZV9saXN0LCBOVUxMKTsKIH0KKworY2hhciAqZ19tb2R1bGVfY2hlY2tfaW5pdCgpIHsK KwlnX3dhcm5pbmcoIiVzICBvbiAlc1xuIixfX0ZVTkNUSU9OX18sX19GSUxFX18pO3JldHVybiBO VUxMOworfQorCitjaGFyICpnX21vZHVsZV91bmxvYWQgKCkgeworCWdfd2FybmluZygiJXMgIG9u ICVzXG4iLF9fRlVOQ1RJT05fXyxfX0ZJTEVfXyk7cmV0dXJuIE5VTEw7Cit9Ci0tLSBwbHVnaW5z L2F0dGFjaG1lbnQtcmVtaW5kZXIvYXR0YWNobWVudC1yZW1pbmRlci5jLm9yaWcJMjAwOS0xMi0x NCAwMzo1NjowMS4wMDAwMDAwMDAgLTAyMDAKKysrIHBsdWdpbnMvYXR0YWNobWVudC1yZW1pbmRl ci9hdHRhY2htZW50LXJlbWluZGVyLmMJMjAxMC0wMy0wNyAwMjoyMToyMi4yOTQ2NDQ0NzAgLTAz MDAKQEAgLTUzNCwzICs1MzQsMTEgQEAKIAogfQogCisKK2NoYXIgKmdfbW9kdWxlX2NoZWNrX2lu aXQoKSB7CisJZ193YXJuaW5nKCIlcyAgb24gJXNcbiIsX19GVU5DVElPTl9fLF9fRklMRV9fKTty

As another example, can you imagine not being able to even run make fetch on something huge like OpenOffice until you uninstalled the old version? In the mean time, I've been editing the port's Makefile to remove the CONFLICTS line long enough to finish building. That's not very helpful for those ports that don't actually build until you run make install, but at least I can get the distfile download out of the way. -- Besides. when port is installed, and you try to build , the ports gets the include files from filesystem (thus getting for includes...) this makes you break , or worst... make a port that is a mix of both... that for sure is not what you want...

after that I have a list of all files that uses libjpeg (or at least the
almost of all).
another script gets the package list

do
pkg_info -W $i | awk '{print $NF}' /tmp/p2

finally.
portmaster -Bug `sort -u /tmp/p2` builds all ports that have

Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
hello Well, after all that said, I would like to post my modest oppinion based in experience from the market.. 1) The people who use FreeBSD, or other OS, (the end user) will never install the OS, the person will turn on the machine and expects an graphical interface appears in the secreen. 2) the Interface should be as simple as possible, but powerfull enought to fullfill their needs, that is text, email, browsing, some banking, multimedia (this must be powerfulll...), chatting. some dvd authoriting, P2P. should access WIFI networks easy too 3) the computer (computer is the term used by the USER) should NEVER break, stop working That is: the computer (and the Operating system) should act as the TV set... (remember those old times when the TV set used to break???) you turn it on, and it works... 4) For those who install the OS in the computer, (some 1 in 10.000) people should make it fast and dirty I make an installer that install FBSD in 10 minutes with all the gnome, office, multimedia, with only one enter of the keyboard... using ZFS, the system never breaks, is ready to use in 20 seconds... FBSD is installed in more than 1000 machines running in gas stations... here... 5) A beautifull installer is good for the newspaper that publishes a review of the Operating system (they must publish something to sell to ...save their job..), Have you ever heard about a Leopard installer??? do you know someone who reinstalled Leopard?? 6) I also think that there must be an fast and dirty FBSD install. in the distribution a CD (or DVD) that you put in the machine, it asks where to install and a prompt choosing YES or NO... the installer formats the disk(partition), do a tar of the FBSD image, with an login of admin prompts for a password, and dumps the os image in the disk using journal or ZFS... (90% of the machines I installed FBSD have 1GB of memory, 80GB of HD and HDA sound, INTEL,ATI,VIA graphics board... only 4 brands of NIC). 7) I showed FBSD to an expert windows guy, and he think it is far more easy to install than the XP he was using besides, it is LEGAL!!!

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Hello. ! used to make wireless links too and my best experiences are: ADSL-MODEM (bridge mode) ==|switch| === Freebsd with pppoe,nat,ipfw || || wireless (--10km-) wireless switch |||||| users...

After searching and testing various radios/swithes.. I deciced for the airlive 5460 ap2 http://www.airlive.com configure both ap in bridge with WDS enable and 21db of output power Antennas: the radios must use a small pigtail and be as near as possible to the antenna... I build the antennas using a project canantenna http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html the two points must be visual, that is: in one point you must see the other, beware with water (lakes, flat fields...) between the points stay away from trees... put the antennas at about 6m from the soil... 10km... You must try, I have one link in 7km here... with good performance.. in severel clients (10 clients)... about 3mbits... the radios costs about 45 dollars each, the pigtail is 5dollars, the antenna is about 5 dollars each the swithes is about 20 dollars each...

Hello I notice that when you write zeros to the first sectors of the pen drive it gets mad about it and you must make fsck and disklabel TWICE... the first time, it complains, the second time it works fine I assume you have grub installed (pkg_add -r grub) I use the folowing procedure: 1) put the pen drive on the computer it finds at da0 2) dd bs=512 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=20 2) fdisk -BI /dev/da0 3) disklabel -w -B /dev/da0s1 4) fdisk -BI /dev/da0 5) disklabel -w -B /dev/da0s1 6) newfs -L FreeBSDstick /dev/da0s1a 7) mount -o async /dev/da0s1a /mnt 8) mkdir /mnt/boot/grub 9) cd /usr/local/share/grub/*/ 10 cp * /mnt/boot/grub 11) cat % /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst title FreeBSD on USB root (hd0,0,a) kernel /boot/loader % 12) umount /mnt 13) grub --batch % device (hd7) /dev/da0 root (hd7,0,a) setup (hd7) % = now just populate the /mnt with bsd and your system should come up... = Hope this will help... Here i use 4gb pen-drivers running FreeBSD 7 with zfs... it works fine and very fast...

Re: Using HDD's for ZFS: 'desktop' vs 'raid / enterprise' -edition drives?
Hello About your zfs experience... please let me tell mine.. I was having toubles with ufs2 on some small servers (desktop grade) machines running postgresql (64 bits, or 32 bits) all running FreeBSD 7.X some still 6.X... the problem is that sometimes the database brokes because the ufs2 fsck wipes out the pg_log files (that holds metadata, and so the database is lost/compromiesed) it used to be aobout 1 or 2 times a week, well you willl say that it is very often... but there are more thatn 1200 servers... that is about a database problem in 16 years the machines are in remote zones and cannot stop.. So a month ago I decided to try zfs... first on onpensolaris (that, as expected, works very well...) than in a set of 4 machines running FreeBSD 7.0/7.1 (a small partition to boot, than filesystem / on zfs). 1 of them with 2gb of memory, the others with 1g, 512m, 256m (I know that zfs is unstable with less than 512mb...) but it is only for testing the machines varies from amd64 to celeron... (64 and 32 bits..) NO RAID on the small machine, a buildworld lasted 2 days... All running a database (test of course) without no break. with a custom application that updates tables (several thousand rows, with foreing keys and triggers...) and then rollback... the drives area always with access light on... Sometimes (several times a day, random..) the machines are switched off.. without shutdown... and than switched on again... about (5 -10 times) that is about 60 * 8 - 480 power on/power off cycles each machine Well. I can say that I still have not lost a database... it is incredible fast, reliable comes up without any fsck wait time. in less than a minute... Now I will start to put it on Dells and those PERC controllers... That is my experience...

Re: DVD cloning tool
Well Here I use K9copy... it copies a 7.6Gb dvd into a 4.2Gb dvd+r and works like a charm very cool for example I have all the Corrs dvds (I bought the 5 ones...) but I use the copies to play...

Re: NFS Help
If your server is nfsv4 (freebsd 7.x) the nfs protocol used is tcp. The older machines (freebsd 5 or 6) the nfs prococol is udp... try to use the -T switch (mount_nfs option...) on the older machines so they will use tcp... hope this will help Sergio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

about the ISO9660

A bit under 1 day ago, actually. and no one answer... It was still in my incoming queue, but first I was planning to take care of the work that I actually get paid for. I tried to duplicate the problem (on -STABLE) with: mkdir temp; cd temp;(tar -C /rescue -cf - . |tar -xf -);du -h . /rescue but I got the links copied properly (original and copy the same size). You'll need to show precisely what you did for anyone to figure out what is wrong. Ok thanks for the help... if you did the test and worked, for you for sure I am using a wrong version of the 6.0 I will upgrade to the 6.0 stable thanks for the help Sergio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CD problem solved..... a possible bug found...
Hello all I wish to thank for all people who helped me in particular the one that points me to the man release really helped... some days ago I posted a message about building the CDbtoot of FreeBSD version 6.0 release the problem happens when (logged in the 6.0...) I mount the CDrom and did a tar cf - /cdrom | tar xvf - -C /usr the idea is to copy all the directories to the /usr/cdrom... the CD has 580Mb... but the copy have more than 1013 MB... (amost twice.. the size...) The same command on a FreeBSD 5.4 produces the coorect image of 580MB... Tracking down the problem to a directory in the CDROM (rescue) that have an executable build from crunch... of 131 files hard linked to the same executale ... On FreeBSD version 5.4 it correct reads ONE executable (300k) and than builds the same structure on the copy directory (/usr/cdro/rescue)... On FreeBSD 6.0 Release, it reads the same executable 131 times, giving about 412MB ... that ... of course does not fit in the 680MB limit of the CDROM... The same file structure (131 hard links) with the same command (tar...) copies fine when they are outside if the ISO9660 My question is: is this a bug in the ISO9660 in the FreeBSD 6.0 or just a new behavior I am using FreeBSd 6.0 Release...
