Motherboard with console redirection
Greetings, I'm looking for recommendations for motherboards that sport serial console redirection, which are known to work well with FreeBSD. I don't have a processor religion, and relatively modest needs: a few SATA ports, preferably built-in video (for the initial setup), at least one IDE channel, support for at least 2GB of RAM and one processor slot (or two, if it will work with a single processor). Built-in gigabit Ethernet would be nice.

Once you have that it should auto-detect and enable full duplex, if your other hardware is capable. Auto-negotiation will work only if the other end (ie, the switch) is set to auto-negotiate.

Re: FreeBSD Torrent Server
What, exactly, is the benefit to an ISP to wear such a feather? Mainly marketing, if the ISP can handle hosting of freebsd.org, then they obviously can handle hosting of most other things on the Internet. Remember, the people that buy seriously large amounts of bandwidth don't use television commercials to make decisions on providers. They use tools like whois to see who is hosting major sites then go talk to those people. It also isn't a bad thing to be the landlord if the provider happens to have a lot of FreeBSD in use themselves, I'm sure it helps get developer attention to problems rather quickly. Have you ever seen a post from anyone at Yahoo with a problem with one of their FreeBSD servers? Marketing, yes, but you may be overstating your case. The bandwidth and power aren't free, and the ROI on the expense of providing that might not be enough. Plus, it's not just ISP's hosting servers, many are hosted by companies and colleges. -jav ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dovecot is configured using a plain text file, enabling and disabling features is a matter of editing the file and SIGHUP'ing dovecot, instead of recompiling like you have to do with uw-imap. You can run dovecot in daemon mode, or invoke it from inetd. I run it in daemon mode.

FreeBSD 6.x problems with IDE drives
Greetings, I've a motherboard and disk drive that have been running on older versions of FreeBSD for quite a while, reliably. Recently, I moved to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (and lately to 6.1-RELEASE, but it didn't help), and the system periodically shows: ad4: FAILURE - device detached This is likely to happen under heavy I/O load (the machine serves a few dozen virtual websites, averaging 15 Mb/s sustained). Then the machine will eventually reboot. The motherboard is an MSI with an AMD 1.3 GHz CPU and 1.25GB of RAM, it has two IDE controllers, a VIA 8235, and a Promise (I can't access the machine right now to get the exact model number). The problem happens the same with either controller. I tried both UDMA100 and PIO4 modes, no difference. SMART reports a healthy drive, and as mentioned before, it didn't have problems with older versions of FreeBSD (5.4-RELEASE to be precise) and under similarly heavy load. The IDE cable was replaced, just in case, but again, no difference. Any ideas? -jav ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
