I've got a system currently running FreeBSD-i386-8.0, and was wondering
whether or not it's possible to move the system to FreeBSD-amd64-8.0
without bringing it down for more than a reboot or two (and avoid
reinstalling all of the client software on the box itself).
The box itself will be
If my memory serves, you're looking at something similar to taking a
snapshot and then sending it to the tape device, so zfs send snapshot

dump/restore.
The Solaris ZFS Admin guide is generally helpful (even as we live in the
After setting up an Audigy2ZS with the emu10kx kernel driver, I found
that after the machine goes into a suspend mode and wakes up, the sound
stops playing. Unloading and reloading the kernel drivers (sound.ko and
snd_emu10kx.ko) doesn't appear to do anything. I tested with an external
line
Unloading the module, letting it suspend on its own, then waking it up
and reloading the module does not cause the symptoms to appear.
Wish I knew offhand what was being called to let it suspend, and which
state it was.

What actually happens is when you pipe it to tee, it shows up in a text

Have you run pdftotext on a single file in your archive as a test?

Yes, it works fine on most PDFs. There are a couple that give me:

It's probably an issue with the PDF itself, not with the program.

Another idea could be giving 7.x a shot as it has newer version of PF IIRC.
That's on the list of things to try, but upgrading will probably be painful,
so I'm hoping to find something else first.
Something else you might want to try is to find/install the new PF from
source, if you
For now, I'd suggest avoiding the T500 series as well. They're good
machines, but you're basically stuck (for now) with either the
integrated graphics or the radeon driver (which still is spotty on X).

Get cpuid from /usr/ports/misc/cpuid and run it, that should give you a
better idea of what your processor is. Although, from the string you
gave, looks like a 'yes'. I think that's a nocona xeon (I have a pair of
gallatins).

Take a UFS2 snapshot and then backup the snapshot. A similar approach
using ZFS snapshots would also work.
See the handbook for more details.

H'mmm... I have a question about the kernel configuration file...
I am currently using a customer kernel. Unfortunately, this machine
was installed by someone before my time, so I don't know the details.
I compiled a custom kernel with ZFS enabled and installed it. Everything
appeared to work fine, then I realized that I needed to make some more
modifications (ALTQ, disabling ulpt). I made those configuration changes
to the existing ZFS kernel config.

Problem solved, I didn't use the proper casing on the command line. I
needed KERNCONF=ZFS, not kernconf=ZFS.

1) The partition editor is a fdisk variant and very flexible. You

It's very strange because both getopt.c and getopt1.c have the same
