Can't cleanly umount a usb stick
I've just run into something I can't explain. Likely it's not a bug, but puzzling none the less. I normally run KDE, and then thunderbird, firefox and chrome as well as a bunch of other stuff. Fine, mostly. I frequently mount a 32G usb stick to stuff my 'reagents' software on, for keeping Windows sheep (mostly) safe. To do this I mount the stick on /dos, and copy stuff to it. Only today and maybe a couple of other times, I finished copying data to /dos and did umount /dos, and got a device busy message. Only the one xterm touched /dos, from the mount, to the copy, to the umount. Last time this happened I did a umount -f as I needed the data. This time I went hunting and an fstat | grep doc revealed that firefox had /dos? *I* didn't do anything. Any ideas as to whats going on, or things to check? I am puzzled. Thanks, STeve Andre'

Re: Client-side font rendering system - from FAQ
[- Sun 17.Mar'13 at 11:19:31 -0500 Chris Bennett :-] I also use mutt and I want to see UTF8 properly. I put: export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 in my .profile and I get OK results. I don't need to change my actual font with that. Won't swear it will work for you. Chris Yes I did all of that - I always read OS docs and FAQ's. The xterm issue is weird, with some fonts I can see chinese/korean/japanese but not Arabic - with other fonts it's the reverse. The best way i've found is not to use a font for any terminal emulators and let it use its default. I see more unicode charaters that way that by using any other fonts. It's not a major issue for me, just a little niggle. Using urxvt seems to cover most of the charset issues; but I like to use as much of the default installation as possible. If I could get [u]xterm to do this then i'd have no need to install urxvt. I know that 99.9% of the time it's user config screw-ups, not the software. I've clearly missed something or done something wrong. Like I said, i'll just use urxvt. Cheers for replies and advice anyway.

Re: This is my first time to use OpenBSD
Yesterday I just install OpenBSD 5.2 in my little server. I found that OpenBSD 5.2 seem no support for TRIM, it's terrible to our ssd user. How can I run just like 'fstrim' in Linux in OpenBSD? So far, I think you should stick with plain old hdd, if you consider trim option in openbsd. On both laptop and desktop I have ssd, but I do run freebsd on them, using tunefs with -t enable. My openbsd node has seagate 2.5 drive and I found it a lot better than wd. Even further, you might get hitachi yourself. Best regards Zoran

How can I run just like 'fstrim' in Linux in OpenBSD? It would help a lot if you describe what you're trying to achieve. I strongly suspect it's not a question of a practical need here - If the first vaguely relevant google hit ([1]) is any indication, I think we may be seeing something analogous to the Microsoft crowd's 'defragmenting' craze (even if that was to some extent justified by real-world deficiencies in that group of products). This functionality lives or should live in the file system, with the system optimizing allocations as appropriate for the device and relevant tuneable parameters, without any need for direct end user intervention. Take a peek at the file system code. If you still think there's a TRIM deficiency that would hurt SSD users, I'm sure patches that solve the problem will be welcomed by the developers. - Peter [1] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man8/fstrim.8.html -- Peter N.

Re: Why to use packages?
The only halfway sane reason I can think of not to use packages but ports Hoping not to open commentry on the matter but so people are aware and perhaps to avoid the next question, there are some security pluses of using ports (checksums via ssh, landry's testing/beta firefoxes a little earlier). -- ___ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
