Re: which 8-port 10/100 hub is best?

I use the Linksys EZXS88W and have had _no_ problems at all. It's nice and small, too. I can't speak for the model that you mentioned below, though if the specs are similar, I am sure it will serve well. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Gary Kline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "FreeBSD Mail

Re: Simple file count question

find /path/to/dir -type f -name db\* -print | wc -l would count the number of files that begin with 'db' in the name, under the '/path/to/dir' directory. man find and man wc for more action. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Dave Carrera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sen

Re: Well-supported gigabit cards under 4-stable?

I have two Intel Pro1000MT's, and they work flawless. I can say with a straight face that I have never had a problem with them. They have only been used with one another over a crossover cable, so I can't speak for how well they play with switches or other brands. I beleive NCI (ncix.com) has them

Re: Two-way Sync of Directories - how? (rsync?)

Is NFS an option? It does mean that the client will have slower file access, but it would appear to do exactly what you are after... Hope this at least partially helps. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Steven N. Fettig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 1

Re: hardware: backup tape reliability

Robert, Are DVDs an option for them? growisofs works great here, using the LG GSA-4081B 8x DVD writer. I don't see how a DVD (or a CD) would fail under the conditions you outlined, and 4.38GiB per disc is pretty good. I hope this helps. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Robert Huff" <

Spencer, I doubt that there is a formal way of getting old cd's, besides going to a local computer store, or somesuch. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Spencer Chirume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 4:49 PM Subject: Recycled cd's > Hi > >

Changing the root device - properly

Hi, The other day, I replaced my server's motherboard with a new one. The old board had an onboard ATA33 controller that could not read disks >32GB, even with the bios upgrade, so I bought an ATA133 pci card. The computer has two disks, a 40GB 5400rpm ata100, and a 120GB 7200rpm ata133. The way I

I think you are looking for the 'kern.coredump' sysctl. Put a line like this in /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.coredump=0 Hope this helps. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Tobias Eichert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2004 1:39 PM Subject: Disable core d

Re: startup daemon as unpriviliged user

man 5 crontab -- check out "@reboot" Or, for something crazy, man gettytab; you can autologin on a tty and then use a shell script to do all kinds of fun things. I used to run X without xdm that way. Hope this helps. -Craig - Original Message - From: "Louis LeBlanc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: Filesystem tuning parameters

You're right, dedicating that much space to nothing is pretty pointless. What I did was I edited /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h and changed: #define MINFREE 8 to #define MINFREE 0 and then recompiled the kernel and set my /home partition to use 0% free space with tunefs. Now I get to
