A slicing question
I have a machine with a large hard drive which is not completely partioned (in the MSDOS sense). I would like to take some of this unallocated space and make it a slice, label it and newfs it, but I am not sure if I can do this without screwing up the existing slice scheme. Are there any suggestions for the _RIGHT_ way to do this so I don't kill the existing scheme? -- Best regards, Derek Tattersall [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mounting an OpenBSD slice
How would I mount the partitions of an OpenBSD slice, when no devices are built at probe time? If I display the disk label, I get several warning messages as the c partition refers to the whole disk, not just the slice. -- Best regards, Derek Tattersall [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
devfs and sound
I'm running CURRENT cvsup'ed recently. I've just started to get sound working and I don't really understand devfs and how it works. When I use mplayer it tells me it can't find /dev/dsp. Now I can kldload the appropriate sound card driver module (I have a Creative 5880 AudioPCI adapter) and it always worked splendidly under stable. So there are really 2 questions: 1 What is /dev/dsp and how do I make it exist? and 2 How can I get a deeper understanding of devfs, beyond the man pages? I'd really appreciate it if you'd copy me, as I'm not subscribed to this list. -- Derek Tattersall[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Transition guide for 5.0
Since FreeBSD 5.0 will be on the stable branch (right?) when it's released toward the end of this month, is there or will there be a transition guide for moving from 4-Stable to 5-Stable? Actually, is there even really anything to worry about? Will there be a simple upgrade path (cvsup/buildworld etc) or will it be an install from scratch and rebuild your ports? -- Derek Tattersall[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
