GEOM after system update

[Sergei Vyshenski]

Hi,

Is it safe to ignore a sting in gmesg:

GEOM: ad10s1: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

This appeared after system update 7.4-stable -- 8.2-stable.
Everything seems to work fine, but disklabel ad10s1 is anxious too:

disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard
system utilities

Despite major discussion on this issue during last 2 years,
still no definite (or official?) answer or recipe could be found.

All the best, Sergei

hw.ata.wc vs soft updates

[Sergei Vyshenski]

Is it correct and/or clever to use BOTH

1) soft updates enabled and 2) hw.ata.wc=0

on FreeBSD-4.9 system?

Will it enhance chances to have consistent disk
after power loss?
How much slower it will be compared to the case of
1) soft updates enabled and 2) hw.ata.wc=1

Thanks in advance for any comment.

soft updates enabled?

[Sergei Vyshenski]

Is there a way to find out 
which filesystems actually use soft updates?

I am asking because after 

tunefs -n enable /usr
reboot

in single-user mode there is no sign of soft updates
in the output of mount.

System id 4.9-PRERELEASE

Thank you for any comment ahead of time.

built-in ftpd and uploaded file permissions

[Sergei Vyshenski]

Dear experts,

Using built-in ftpd,
is it possible to control permissions of uploaded files
for user anonymous?
Files, uploaded by anonymous, have permissions 644
irrespective of mask values requested by
1) option -u for ftpd, and
2) from file login.conf
I would prefer to have 660 for uploaded files, as
input directory has --Srwx-wx mode.
Thank you very much for any comment.

cleaning old messages from mailboxes

[Sergei Vyshenski]

How it is possible to forcibly remove old messages from users' mailboxes?

Say on a daily basis, all messages that are 2 weeks old are
removed from all system mailboxes.

Something like a batch analog of mail utility?

Thank you very much for any comment ahead of time.
Sergei
