Re: mkisofs and large files

2004-12-08 Thread Randy Grafton
growisofs is your solution. It is in the dvd+r-tools port in /usr/pots/sysutils. This was supposed to be a front end to mkisofs and therefore handles most of the options that mkisofs has. It also allows you to burn directly to disc! (I use this one a lot, great for backups). -Randy RW wrote:

You were given some good starting points for on line docs to get your more familiar with what you're getting into. With a little effort in bringing yourself up to speed with FreeBSD, you will find how incredibly easy it is to build a robust, secure, stable and reliable system where you get what

Not to beat a dead horse but here are a couple of extra points to offer. From a Base/Minimal install of 5.2.1 I got a current ports tree with cvsup-without-gui. Next, I install linux-base: cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux-base make install clean edit /etc/rc.conf to contain

Checking directory sizes

2004-02-17 Thread Randy Grafton
I need to run a script that checks to see if a large directory has finished copying onto my FreeBSD hosted Samba server. My script currently uses 'du -s' to check the directory size. My problem is that the check can occur while the directory is still being copied, so the du commend takes a long

RE: Where can I find a list of the cvsup tags for ports?

You can use the refuse file to omit branches. I've attached my cvsupfile and my refuse file to give you an idea as to how this works. I placed my cvsupfile in /usr/local/etc and the refuse file goes in /user/local/etc/sup. I then call cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsupfile. The directory locations

Apache2 and mod_perl2

I have just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having problems with Apache2 and mod_perl2. I used the ports, which was updated immediately after install, and did a 'make install clean' for both apache2 and mod_perl2, more specifically apache-2.0.48_2 and mod_perl2-1.99r12. I have not gotten fancy yet
