LVM2 under FreeBSD ?

2008-09-07 Thread nicodache
Hello all,

I'd like to use something like LVM under FreeBSD, as I have a server
running FBSD 7 and I don't know what space to give to what partition,
and as I plan on installing postfix+courier-imap soon, I'd like to
have some way to share the 235GB left on my drive between /home (legal
torrents), and /var (www, mails, etc)

I had a look at GEOM and (g)vinum, and none of them seem to accept
resize of partition, while LVM (under linux) accept hotresizing of
ext2/3  ReiserFS filesystems.

Do yoy know of any solution available as port that would provide me
with the same features as LVM ? (resize of partitions while running,
to adapt /var to my needs without copying, unmouting, resizing,
rebooting, etc)
Can LVM be used in FreeBSD ? can the default kernel read  write ext3
partitions ? I might try to install LVM on a primary partition.

Thank you in advance for your input.

hors configure your kernel-img file correctly :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] grep hook /etc/kernel-img.conf
postinst_hook = /usr/sbin/update-grub
postrm_hook   = /usr/sbin/update-grub

just comment out these.

 each time Ubuntu decides it needs to perform a significant update, it

 got around to investigating it.

 I'd be inclined to install GRUB on FreeBSD from ports and remove it from
 the Ubuntu system. FreeBSD won't mess with your GRUB config files.

Re: graid3

2008-07-25 Thread nicodache
Hello,

1. I don't see such a thing on the weblink you gave (acnc)
In my opinion, this rule is pure nonsense, as raid 3 just use a
separate drive to store stripe parity. You just need at least 3
drives, one for parity, 2 for data. you can do raid 3 with how many
drives you want.

2. because the raid controler/software thing can reconstruct the data
with only n-1 of the n drives in the array.
in random IO this can be quite usefull, while in sequential read, the
parity drive is not that much of use.

 i know what's RAID3 and i don't understand few things.

 1)

 The number of components must be equal to 3, 5, 9, 17, etc.
(2^n + 1).

 why it can't be say 5 disks+parity?

 2) -r  Use parity component for reading in round-robin fashion.
 Without this option the parity component is not used at
 all for reading operations when the device is in a complete state.
  With this option specified random I/O read operations are even 40% faster
 , but sequential reads are slower.  One cannot use this option if the -w
 option is also specified.


 how parity disk could speed up random I/O?


 is there any description of how graid3 actually works?

Re: rtorrent failure when running on FBSD-7.0 amd64

2008-07-13 Thread nicodache
rtorrent.rc, or .rtorrent.rc ?

this is not the same, and this is not a typo either.
