I am planning to buy an SMP machine(dual P3) within a few months to run
DragonFly. And I was thinking about setting up a phpbb discussion forum
for us users. Question is, would there be the interest from the devs and
users to have a forum like this?
petr
Well, yes, you are correct, Justin. In my opnion it would be great to have
it like that. A BB would function in multiple ways, relay information from
the mailing lists (bugs, comitts, kernel, documentation etc), plus allow
current and coming users to have a userfriendly interface to ask questions
Alright I understand that if NVIDIA removed FreeBSD 4.x support from the
latest drivers, why dont we just use the older ones for now? better than
nothing maybe? Whats the last driver revision with support for FreeBSD
4.x? Will they work?

Ok, so I attempted to recompile userland + kernel with custom CFLAGS

Hi Jeremy and the
No, we'd need to see where fd 4 is being opened, but maybe that's a

run the trace with -i, so that we can see why the child is closing the fd?

Now that you have it working, if you are doing more then just

Im trying to benchmark DF with sysbench and got 2 issues:

The situation is like this:

Do you have a second NIC in the DF box? The ASA5505 is a firewall
security device and not a router therefore do not make the mistake in
believing it will behave like a router. Cisco ASA's are persnickety
devices and will only VPN from an insecure to a secure interface. If

It seems that a lot of new comers get a really annoyed(and more than often
turn away altogether) with the fact that they have to use archaic programs
like disklabel to setup partitions. Wouldn't it be better to simply dump
it, and use GPT partitions instead?
Petr
If by dump it you mean default to GPT style partitioning, I think that is
valid discussion. I would say yes, standardization here seems to be a net
positive.
Yes thats what I mean.
Instead of disklabel partitions like ad0s1*, only use GPT partitions ie.
ad0p* - note the change from s to p -
DragonFly could really lead the way here amongst the BSDs who all use some
version of disklabel. Can DF boot from a GPT partition? If so the next
thing would be teaching it to boot from such a partition without a
disklabel present.
For example:
/boot ... /dev/da0p0
/ ... /dev/da0p1
/usr ...
Well, there are two parts to GPT. There is the partition table
standard and then there is the BIOS support. If you mean booting
from a GPT compatibility slice without needing the BIOS support
then it is probably doable.
This.
I've come across a few people (Linux users
