Hi all,
I've been playing around with incoding/recoding with mencoder.
On one of my boxes mencoder keeps having niceness 20.
I don't want mencoder to play nice so I try to renice the process, but
it resets to 20 within seconds!
Here's the info:
[st...@yoshi ~]$ mencoder -show-profile x264ac3

Hi,
I have a system that doesn't run 24/7/365.
I would like to make sure that some tasks (like updating the ports tree)
run weekly/monthly etc.
As the system isn't on 24/7 the cron job I usually run for these tasks
doesn't work as the machine isn't always running on the scheduled time.
So I need
Hello,
Since updating to 8.X I noticed that network services were started
before the network was up!
I use lagg failover configuration on both my FreeBSD boxes.

After entering and exiting the "rescue" shell, the system boots as normal.

Hi,
I want to be able to run a vnc server to share my "real" X-session.
I use kdm.
I've been trying to build vnc with vnc.so module.
However, it fails to build this file.
Any idea on how to resolve this?

Good day to you,
I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the disks in my zfs raidz1 pool.
It's giving me dma read error, and zpool is reporting READ failures.
However, data integrity is OK :-)
Unfortunately I was in the middle of rearranging my backup media, so I'm
backup up everything as we speak
Don't forget to tweake /etc/make.conf (check out
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for guidance)

Hello,
I'm currently migrating my home desktop from Gentoo linux to FreeBSD
8.0(Beta but it'll be "Stable" soon. Using RELENG_8 btw).
I'm kind of a OS collector/nut/geek/nerd. As such virtualization is
quite important to me.

Hello,
I'm fully enjoying installing FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2 amd64.
However, it does not seem to be able to use all my ram.
Strangely enough, it says the following:

real memory = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 4112240640 (3921 MB)
and

Hello,
What do you mean by a CS server?
I'm sure there are "better" of "pretier" solution but you can use cron
to do this for you.
As the user which should run this service do:
crontab -e
then add a rule like:
@reboot
Then save and exit. Now next time on reboot the will be run.

Ofcourse if you upgrade, files will be overwritten. Could you please be
more specific?
