Re: HP Proliant DL385 with Squid at a Gigabit-switch - bad network performance

Whilst I can't comment on the foibles of modern Cisco switches, I can certainly say that Cisco switches I've used somewhat more recently than fifteen years ago (but more than five) refused to autonegotiate to some servers. So far they remain the only switches I've had to manually set the speed

Re: nfs proxies

From: Jason Dixon ja...@dixongroup.net People always say this but never mean it. I have proof, and I'm sure Theo does too. You have no idea how much a real feature costs to implement. When you present them with the costs they always balk. To be fair, some of them do mean it, but just don't

Re: Port ZFS to OpenBSD

From: bofh goodb...@gmail.com I have to ask - if you're not copying the code, but only copying the concept/technical requirements over (ie, a rewrite), that new code would be bsd licensed, right? Probably, but this is filesystem code. The last thing you want to do is to replace complex,

Re: laptop choice

IBM's X series are 12.1 only which is outside your 15-17 suggestion. If you want a cheap X series laptop preferably go for the X32 - it's faster and newer than the X31 and has a 2.5 hard drive. The X40/X41 are very OpenBSD compatible but have a 1.8 hard drive (slow, expensive, difficult to

From: Mihai Popescu B.S. mihai...@gmail.com I don't need dual core since the support for this is scarce in many operating systems. With respect, scarce in what operating system apart from say, DOS? I can't think of any Unixes or Unix alikes that don't have SMP support (even Plan 9 does). OS/2

Re: OpenBSD

From: Markus Hennecke [EMAIL PROTECTED] You mean it works great except for newer cards, dual-head setups and a fast X desktop? Yes, but I would not call that great. That's not true. 8800GT support, at the very least, was added back in OpenBSD 4.3 according to the changelog. I'm using two

Re: Virtual Consoles in OpenBSD/macppc

From: Pedro de Oliveira [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Anyone here using OpenBSD/macppc knows if its possible to enable more than one virtual console? I cant seem to find any info about that in the FAQ. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html It's not supported. Use 'screen' from packages instead. PK

Hanging X

I'm trying to get X running on my amd64 (Core2Duo) box. It starts but freezes shortly although OpenBSD is still accessible from serial console/ssh. X cannot be killed via kill or kill -9. My configuration is marginally unusual as it contains two 7600GTs. X -configure detects a multihead

openbsd sgi - uname -m, packages and mips64

A bit of an oddity. On all other platforms (at least I think so), the output from 'uname -m' matches the name of the directory under packages, except under sgi, for which the directory is 'mips64'. Any chance of this changing for 4.5? I'm presuming no-one is porting to mips32 (netbsd supports
