Re: The disc in your drive looks more like an Audio CD than a FreeBSDrelease
Thanks for the prompt response. However, I have a brand-new ASUS X59XL notebook so the CD drive isn't old. Could it be that the CD drive is too new and not recognized properly bt FreeBSD rather than too old?

A couple comments: 1) This isn't telling me anything. For all I know the verify tool only compares ISO file contents to what's on a disc -- that probably will return success. You need to realise there's a *lot* of information in the ISO header which defines the type of disc it is, and types of extensions it supports (Joliet, Red Ridge, etc.). And the burning software has to properly know how to use those bits, otherwise it can do the wrong thing. 2) Some older CD drives apparently report FreeBSD discs as Audio CDs (even inside of Windows). I've seen this happen once in my life, but I was not trying to install FreeBSD (I was just inserting the disc into a Windows PC to see what was on it). The below thread is of a fellow running into the same problem: and his issue turned out to be a very old/unreliable CD drive, which he likely (eventually) replaced. He resorted to installing off of another machine over the network, but you get the point: http://forums.devshed.com/bsd-help-31/freebsd-installation-fails-when-looking-for-media-45366.html On Sun, 2008-10-12 at 08:01 -0700, Jeremy Chadwick wrote: On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 04:51:54PM +0200, Kiffin wrote: I checked it and everything looks just fine, e.g. just Freebsd install files and nothing else.

Upgrade xorg 7.2 breaks legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver ...
After I upgraded to xorg 7.2, I cannot get things to work anymore with my legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver (I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop). Originally, I downloaded the FreeBSD legacy driver from the official nvidia website and installed it under the then current X11BASE=/usr/X11R6. Everything worked just fine. Until the upgrade to xorg 7.2, that is. As instructed in the upgrade instructions, I changed ModulePath to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules in xorg.conf, which I suspect is the root of my problems, since the original working driver has remained installed in the old X11BASE. I've tried to install the driver from the nvidia-driver-9631 ports directory, but after struggling forever with all kinds of errors, I gave up and figured the best approach would be to somehow use my current setup, possibly copying and or linking to the right place. Should I just reinstall the driver, but which X11BASE? How to remove the original files without messing up my system even more? But I am not sure where to begin. Are there any kind folks out there who can give me a hand?

'portsdb -uU' will take a while, but it will match exactly what you have installed, which will probably help getting the dependency comparisons correct. Also, run 'pkgdb -F' until it stops reporting problems. Thanks for the tip, but as luck has it, I just happened to figure out another (better?) solution. I simply de-installed ImageMagick using pkg_delete and then rebuilt it by doing a make install clean.

Bacula vs. Amanda vs. whatever ...
I have a home network with two FreeBSD servers (web- and file-server), a number of Windows desktops and a wireless FreeBSD laptop all connected to one another using Samba. What is the best tool to create automatic central backups? For now I just want to make backups on disk but later using an external tape drive. Some swear by Amanda, others insist Bacula works best with Samba, just curious is all.

Kiffin, Interestingly enough I was glancing at one of the FreeBSD books and it said (I'm paraphrasing here) Uptime isn't something one should be proud of. If uptime is, for example, 350 days then darn it something probably needs updating. It just becomes more of a in-your-face sort of thing because then packages have to be fetched, compiled, installed and all that. Do the research to see what a portupgrade is going to touch and see what fixes there are. A good example for upgrading would be finding out that (I don't recall which program reports that a port has a given security issue and briefly tells you to either upgrade or uninstall) if a given port has a security fix for it. Did a smidge of research and I think it is portaudit found in security/portaudit. Alrighty, back to your question. If, for example, portaudit says there's a security issue and you are worried about it then upgrade (perhaps have portaudit run every night).

Servers seem slow in home network ...
I recently installed two FreeBSD servers (webserver and fileserver) on a home network which includes a number of Windows machines. These run behind my ADSL router which has port 80 opened for the webserver allowing access to a couple personal web sites.

My situation is similar, except my printer is connected to one of my FreeBSD machines. The hardest part of linking FreeBSD with Windows isn't the getting the shares to work, but the printers to work, and I found it easier to have the printer on FreeBSD and have Windows write to it using real drivers (cups in RAW mode). Hmmm, this kinda worries me, to be honest. I went through alot of trouble getting my HP Deksjet G86 working under Windows and cannot imagine the hassle of getting it to work under FreeBSD.

There is no fragmentation in the BSD file systems, that is something related to Windows only. You might want to add the line: fsck_y_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf in the event fsck finds errors on your disks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course there is fragmentation. UFS, particularly its implementation in FreeBSD is more intelligent than NTFS/FAT32. When there is enough free space on the disk (typically more than 15%, see tunefs(8) for details), I/O is automatically optimized to minimize fragmentation. When your win32 box is idle, but the hdd is scratching it's very annoying, because you know that windows is swapping something. When your bsd box is idle, but the hdd is scratching it's quite pleasant, 'cuz that's some hard-working daemons make sure that you don't loose any data, and always can enjoy the maximum performance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So if I understand you correctly, this means that the disk is defragmented automatically in the background during idle use, e.g. I do not have to do anything else to enable it because it is already enabled.
