kern.maxdsiz big memory/tuning questions

Hello, I'm trying to RTFM but the M does not appear to exist. I am dealing with processes over 512MB in size on 6.0 on x86 and am using these loader.conf tunables as suggested by MySQL and other documentation: kern.maxdsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.dfldsiz=1073741824 # 1GB

Boot manager behavior questions

Hello all, I am practicing x86 5.4-REL disaster recovery and perhaps someone intimate with the boot manager (perhaps boot2) could kindly explain a few things. Yes, I have attempted to answer these by reading: /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/* (BTW, why does only the recent list traffic

Re: 5.x separate /boot slice?

two complete filesystem in different slices but alas, the boot selection issue returns. Well now, according to boot0cfg(8): To boot slice 2 on the next boot: boot0cfg -s 2 ad0 Perhaps problem solved. Best regards, Michael Dexter

Can file-backed memory disks act like slices?

Hello all, I trust this is a Seldom Asked Question... I am using file-backed memory disks (as in mdconfig -f) to prototype filesystems. root.img gets mounted first and usr.img, var.img and tmp.img get mounted below it and as such they are behaving as partitions. Is there any way to get a

5.x separate /boot slice?

Hello, I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x... (http://www.khmere.com/freebsd_book/html/ch08.html) But alas it does not appear to be as simple as simply specifying a /boot during setup. This causes the bootloader to complain about not finding a kernel given

5.x separate /boot slice?

I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x... Search the list. This comes up about once a month, and I've yet to see anyone succeed. Aside from it's the way Linux does it, do you have any good reason for wanting this? All of my questions seem to generate that

Remove GRUB?

/dev/da0s1a No error, it blinked the hard drive activity light and appears to have done something but alas, it still reports a GRUB error 21 rather than given any sign of the FreeBSD loader. Any pointers to the rescue/install procedures applicable to this? Best regards, Michael Dexter

Re: Remove GRUB?

I was experimenting with the GRUB bootloader and would now like to remove it. Something went wrong and I must now use a bootable CD that gives me an option to boot to the first partition and the system boots fine. man bsdlabel gives: Installing Bootstraps If the -B argument is

Re: Remove GRUB?

Glenn's suggestion of fdisk lead me to bring up the fdisk man page, which points to boot0cfg(8). Perhaps this is the utility I am after? Michael. At 03:25 AM 7/19/2005, Michael Dexter wrote: Hello, I was experimenting with the GRUB bootloader and would now like to remove it. Something

Re: Remove GRUB?

Are you sure you are talking about the boot loader, not the boot manager? I'd say boot0cfg is what you need. Fabian Fabian makes a good point but the goal is to be rid of GRUB. I ran 'boot0cfg -Bv ad0' (Bootstrap and verbosity) And on boot I get a more comforting: F1 FreeBSD F2 Linux F3

5.x ipdivert.ko with pf and natd?

Hello, I would like to use natd with packet filter under FreeBSD 5.4. The rc.conf man page states that I want: natd_enable=YES and that if the kernel was not built with options IPDIVERT, the ipdivert.ko kernel module will be loaded. Unfortunately, the module ipdivert.ko does not appear to

List all make targets?

Hello all, I am sure I saw this somewhere and even added it to my notes but neither I nor Google can find it for the life of us... or I dreamt it... Is there a 'make' flag to list all make targets for any given directory containing Makefile* ? Appreciated! On the same topic, can anyone

Re: List all make targets?

Yet Another make release fails on ghostscript-gnu

Greetings from Latvia, I am very, very excited about FreeBSD's make release ability but like many others I have read about on the various list archives, I my builds are hanging on trivial failures. In this case, the eplaser-3.0.4-651.tgz file is failing its checksum, bringing the build to a

Follow-up: Yet Another make release fails on ghostscript-gnu

Greetings again, Regarding the make release mentioned earlier... After peppering my /usr/ports/distfiles/ tree with very redundant distfiles, i.e. the same files in /usr/ports and /usr/ports/ghostscript and /usr/ports/ghostscript-gnu, things finally worked. (Ending on a vn present failure
