The main reason (I think) they say to drop to single user mode is to ensure that nobody is logged in and that as little as possible can intefere with the upgrade process (rogue processes changing config files while mergemaster is running). If you've stopped all processes, logged out all users except yourself, you'll probably find that your installworlds while not in single user will go without a problem.

After 4-5 years of it being in every install media, even floppies, you think it suddenly is just not there anymore ? I find that difficult to believe... I'll check the dmesg in scroll lock to be sure, but I am pretty sure it comes up with nothing aac-related. I'm saying it's a possibility if you're not seeing anything AAC related in the dmesg and you should make sure that it is in the kernel or loaded as a module by running kldload (kldload will give some error about symbol already existing if it is built into the kernel). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Please help - adaptec 2820sa not allowing installation
Ok, aac is in the dmesg. I can see both 2820sa cards in the dmesg, and I see no errors, etc. - there are just no drives listed in dmesg. My setup is 8 500 Gb drives in a single raid-6 array, size ~2.8TB. Any problems with that ? Perhaps sysinstall cannot deal with a 2TB drive ? There are no other drives in the system besides the single 2.8TB raid 6 array ... Have you got any other drives you can attach to the raid? If so, disconnect the 8 drives connected, connect up a couple that are not part of the raid and configure them as a simple raid 1 and see if the installers sees that raid. Or try any combination in drives to bring the raid size down below 2TB (I'm sure this limitation has been fixed.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: jails or chroot?

Recently I had some problems with file access problems with php which caused me to look into putting each of my clients into their own jail or chroot. I have roughly 100 different domains I'd need to split. Has anyone done this for more than a handfull of clients? Using apache and their mass virtual hosting, 100 domains is a breeze. But with a jail or chroot, I need a separate apache process for each domain. This is going to mean hundreds of apache processes. This seems unreasonable. Agreed that creation hundreds of chroots or jails would be an administrative nightmare. File access can be solved with suexec (compile apache with suexec enabled), this means that for each virtual host entry in your apache config you add User and Group (check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec.html or your apache version doc set). This will make each apache process run as the user specified in virtual host entry (not www) allowing you to restrict their access to files with filesystem ACL's and even ugidfw, you could also then setup process/memory restrictions in /etc/login.conf It will also make updating pretty much as standard as it is now.
