Re: 80 pin SCSI hard drives.

This isn't necessarily relevant to FreeBSD accept that i'm planning on using them in a FreeBSD installation. I'm only aware of 50 pin SCSI and 68 pin SCSI. I've tried to contact Maxtor to get advice on a PCI adapter and cables to use with these units but haven't gotten a reply. Can any one give me some info on how to set these drives up hardware wise? Hi, I have 80 pin SCSI discs mounted in hot-swappable trays on a SCSI backplane which takes care also of powering them up and of SCSI termination. This is one way of using them. I also have the same drives in a different system connected to normal SCSI LVD cable using small adaptors which have an 80 pin receptacle on one side and a 68 pin SCSI connector plus 4 pin molex power connector on the other, as well as jumpers to define SCSI id. In this second case you have to provide the required termination of the SCSI bus (e.g. using the right terminated SCSI cable). alfredo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I connect to the internet via dialup so I have an entries in my /etc/hosts for all my local machines and I have an entry in my /etc/resolv.conf for my isp's dns server. when I am not connected to my isp and I try to ssh to a local machine from a local mahine it takes a long time to connect. I susspect the reason is because it is trying to hit the dns server first from my isp. From what I understand it should hit the hosts file first according to the following setup. Can anyone exlain how I can fix my problem? or explain why my current configuration is incorrect? /etc/host.conf # First try the /etc/hosts file hosts # Now try the nameserver next. bind In your host.conf file you should be using the keyword order to specify how host lookups are to be performed by the resolver. It should be followed by one or more lookup methods, separated by commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts and nis. For example the line in /etc/host.conf could be: order hosts,bind Regards, Alfredo ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
