Re: OpenBSD Home Server: Hints and Advices

Well, isn't your NAS already a backup? No. At least, not really. Any "online" backup (in other words, an actively running machine) is always subject to issues that could destroy your data. The power supply could go bad and fry your drives, software issues could cause silent corruption, and

We have a system with NO physical internal speaker of any kind. Audio otherwise works from the headphone/line jack, playing wave files with aucat and messing with mixerctl all work as expected, but there are no 'beeps' (can't get a terminal bell using echo, can't get anything from wsconsctl,

Slightly OT, .. 5.5 Nagios

Trying to upgrade our 5.4 Nagios system to 5.5, .. everything went fine with the system, but it appears that there are some new dependencies for the web UI: # pkg_add nagios-web-4.0.1-chroot Can't install php-gd-5.4.24 because of libraries |library X11.16.0 not found | not found anywhere |library

OpenBSD Home Server: Hints and Advices
