It's neat but I sort of wonder what :happens in /mnt is in use. What is causing this automatic mounting : I'm also having some problems - unmounting it produces error :messages (below) and files written to it are sometimes corrupt (I suspect :that data is not always flushed). ... The simple addition of a quirk table entry to disable the use of the cache synchronization command should solve the problem. You need the usb vendor and device id's to enter the information into the quirk table in /usr/src/sys/dev/usbmisc/umass/umass.c (see around lines 257 and the quirk table is declared around line 314).

[HEADS UP] Binary package changes
Hi all, due to the dead of my old server I've moved the pkgsrc build system to colocation. A few other things apply as well, so the following changes should be of general interest: (1) Binary packages for pkgsrc-current are available from http://www.pkgsrc-box.org/packages/current/DragonFly-1.8/ and FTP respectively. This is built with X11_TYPE=modular. (2) Binary packages for pkgsrc-2007Q1 will follow after Easter when the branch is cut. (3) rsync is available as well, if you want to mirror the packages please contact me first. Due to bandwidth contraints (which might get sorted out soon), I'd like to keep the list short. I'm also looking for a donation of another KVR667D2D4F5K2/4G, as the virtual machine configuration is running at the memory limit of the box. Joerg

I don't remember exact details, but the point is that pkg_add is using glob pattern format vsftpd doesn't support. It was in my TODO list some time ago, but then I lost interest. It's probably time to put it back again ;). regards, -- Hasso Tepper
