Well, gparted will work with FreeBSD slices. They just call them primary partitions instead of slices because that is what Microsloth calls them. But, fdisk is what manupulated slices in FreeBSD. It does it by brute force - rewriting the slice table and not preserving what was there before. So, you would need to use dump/restore to carry your stuff over.But they you would have a clean slice or set of slices with the latest filesystem type. Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: In FreeBSD the slice is the primary division of the disk labeled 1..4. and a partiton is a subdivision of a slice labeled a..h. Microsloth and some others use the word partition to mean other things. jerry /Leslie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: filesystem full after many mmap/munmap cycles
I have an app server that uses mmap a lot. After running a long batch (four hours, 5,100+ transactions), I got the message filesystem full (/usr--ufs, local, soft-updates). df -i says plenty of space. I restarted the batch process, and watched app server process carefully with fstat -p, and it looks to be behaving responsibly. The open file list is short, and when I looked up the file names by inum, they were correct. Each transaction does a mmap/munap cycle with a (big ?) file (79M), then copies another smaller file, using mmap to do the copy. fwrite failed on the copy operation; FreeBSD said no space. (When fwrite failed, I called abort, so I have a core and can see where it happened.) probably the program doesn't unmap/close files that it deletes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's possible to have it over 100% because there is some reserve space set aside when you format, but you've used that up as well. Try du -ks /usr* to see where it's being used, and delete something.

Re: filesystem full on install
it was written: However, when it starts to install, it fails saying the filesystem is full. This can't be. It's a 40Gb drive. I started by overwriting my hd using a utility called boot and nuke. Then I allocated the whole thing to freebsd and made that partition bootable. Then in disklabel, I hit a to do a default setup. I've tried several different things in disklabel and I wipe my disk clean between each try and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Hello, This seems to be the nub of your problem. The message saying the filesystem is full means the partition is full, not the harddrive. Make sure the drive's geometry and that reported in disklabel agree. I think you should start over and use the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html as a guide, particularly section 2.5.5. As to the problem with the router and intermittent failures to connect, that sounds like TCP/IP problem. The fact it seemingly goes away is very odd. Make sure you're not using an IP address already assigned to some other interface (and may as well that your subnet mask, hostname, and DNS address are correct, too). Double check that you're using a supported NIC. HTH, Stheg __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Re: filesystem full on install
Your router light turning yellow could be an indication that it has been reset and has entered an auto-negotiation mode where it determines what speed to configure itself as, i.e., either 10 or 100. Try waiting until it turns green to proceed with the install, rather than aborting and restarting. I think it should take no more than 30 seconds, but time it with a stopwatch. Anything over 2 minutes is WAY too long. What kind of router are you talking about?

I have googled for an answer and read mailing list posts but still can't find what I'm looking for. First, when the disk boots and checks the hardware, it does something strange to my network card that makes my router light turn yellow instead of green indicating 10 Mbps mode instead of 100. Anyway, once I get ready to do the install, it can't contact the ftp site, it just stays forever at connecting but it does change my network card back so the router light is green. If I do a control c to cancel it and restart installation, I can contact the site. However, when it starts to install, it fails saying the filesystem is full. This can't be. It's a 40Gb drive.

Re: filesystem full on install
So is your netgear router attached to a cable or dsl modem? Could you connect your box directly to the modem, at least until you get installed? I don't understand why you used boot and nuke. When you get to the partition editor, do you delete all the partitions, then make one and mark it bootable and then in the slice editor use a for automatically use entire disk, and it lays out / (root), /usr, var, etc.? You must be filling in the page for a network adapter. What IP adx are you using for your box and what IP adx do you tell it is the gateway? I don't know you, so don't be offended by any questions. I'm trying to help without knowing you're level of expertise. Does your router also have a build-in firewall? Are you trying passive ftp? When you restart your install, can you get back into fdisk and delete the partition and remake it again? What network card is in the box? I guess you're booting off floppies? When FreeBSD boots, does it correctly probe and identify your network adapter? On Tuesday 17 August 2004 01:17 am, Ryan Lamb wrote: It's a netgear router. The thing is, it does go way over 2 min. Here's what it does. When I am initially booting off the disk and it checks the hardware for the first time it turns it yellow. Then, when I first try to connect to an ftp it turns it green but it never connects. When I hit ctrl c and then choose restart installation, it takes me back for a new installation and the light remains green. When I set everything up again, it says my filesystem was written correctly, it connects to the ftp, it starts a download, then it tells me the filesystem is full. Your router light turning yellow could be an indication that it has been reset and has entered an auto-negotiation mode where it determines what speed to configure itself as, i.e., either 10 or 100. Try waiting until it turns green to proceed with the install, rather than aborting and restarting. I think it should take no more than 30 seconds, but time it with a stopwatch. Anything over 2 minutes is WAY too long. What kind of router are you talking about?

I have googled for an answer and read mailing list posts but still can't find what I'm looking for. First, when the disk boots and checks the hardware, it does something strange to my network card that makes my router light turn yellow instead of green indicating 10 Mbps mode instead of 100. Anyway, once I get ready to do the install, it can't .contact the ftp site, it just stays forever at connecting but it does change my network card back so the router light is green. If I do a control c to cancel it and restart installation, I can contact the site. However, when it starts to install, it fails saying the filesystem is full. This can't be. It's a 40Gb drive.
