I think the option doesn't work even for wheel users. I mean it's
there but in my system it just logs the user out. Anyway you can
disble the menu option with gnome configuration.
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/ and google things like this "customize
gnome desktop menus"

It's actually a single example of a multipart message; that blank line
followed by the random dashes and numbers delimits a part. I'm
wondering if Procmail is having trouble matching this because the
offending charset is specified in a multipart content header rather than
in the message headers.

Hi Michael,
I too come the Debian world, so here are some bullets that I've picked
up along the way:
1) FBSD make a clean separation of 'base' from everything else. I
personally think this is one of the greatest strengths of FBSD. You
may have or need stuff from the ports that's already in the base but
it doesn't matter, you can can have both versions. The base is /bin
/usr/bin /lib /usr/lib, etc. and _everything else_ is /usr/local -
when you upgrade the system this will make _a lot_ of sense.
2) There are certain things in base like sendmail for example that
should not be deinstalled just de-activated via conf, other include
bind, gcc, and several other things. There are many simple how-to's
into installing things that 'compete' with base, at least for the more
common things.
3) You can install binary packages or compile from the ports
collection. Large bulky packages like Xorg, Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice are
probably better installed from pre-compiled binaries with pkg_add,
much the same way as aptitude in Debian. Besides, there is little
customization and compiling options that are useful. But if you are
installing Apache for example, it makes sense to install from the
ports collection because you will get the chance to choose very
specific compile time options and the binary will be optimized for
your specific hardware. It doesn't matter if you install from ports or
binaries, the package registration is common, so if you add with
pckg_add you can remov from the ports directory and vice-versa.
Best,
Alejandro Imass

Hello list
I've run into a bit of an impasse with freebsd8 nd dell R710 server.
Basically it has 3x 2TB disks (SATA) connected to a LSI card (on the
order it is referred to as SAS6IR/PERC H200). I make the virtual disk on
the SATA card (raid0 gives about 5.4Tb) but freebsd, after sysinstall
loads and I set the timezone and keyboard, won't see the disk.
I am accessing the server remotely via IDRAC6. This means I have a great
deal of difficulty grabbing the console with alt-f2 on bootup.
I have the feeling that maybe I have to pass a parameter to freebsd boot
to make it see the virtual disk. Is this the cade? Or is the card just
pants? Or is it not possible to boot over 2Tb? Or perhaps I need to boot
a running system from a SD card, and then make the virtual disk?
Or is it a sysinstall issue? Or a card issue? Freebsd sees the card (at
least freebsd-9 did) but not the disk (same as freebsd-8)
FWIW CentOS won't see it either. Please help!

If you haven't considered it, it may be worthwhile to use ZFS. In that
scenario, you'd want to the controller to present the disks as JBOD and use
RAIDZ. Once again, sysinstall doesn't support this, but there are some good
FreeBSD wiki articles on it.

Opps, didn't read the RAID-0 bit, still try the GPT stuff, the 2TB MBR is a
hard limit. gstripe(8) would also be an option. With you're RAID-0, were
you looking of for read or write speed? You can still use RAIDZ and
outperform a straight stripe in most workloads if you make use of an ssd
based L2ARC and a ZIL for read and writes respectively.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been asked to explore the possibility of booting FreeBSD from a
memory stick. This was not a problem; worked great when installed
from the distribution CD.
What would be the best way to get our custom configuration onto the
memory stick?
Thanks,

Receiving this recently:

Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have!
Cowardly refusing to downgrade from Sun Mar 28 01:00:58 MST 2010

I recall in other systems' package management repository update
schemes seeing similar metadata errors and I've always felt it may be
due to the caching on a transparent HTTP proxy on the network egress.
Is the above likely due to such a situation? If so, is there a
canonical "fix" for the issue (configuring cacheability on mirrors,
configuration/tuning on proxies, options that may be passed on client
side to signal bypass of cache?
Or am I completely off base on this one?

Yes, and note that the chipset has set a register to indicate a RAM parity
error as well, so it is not a random NMI. Have you checked your BIOS' event
log? You may also want to try running with machine checks enabled
(hw.mca.enabled=1 in loader.conf, but it would have to be on very recent 7/8-
stable) to see if you get machine checks for ECC errors. OTOH, if you do not
have ECC memory then this will probably not help.

You can still have bad RAM even if those do not fail.

I can only speak for a 9690SA-8I, but this thing is amazing.
It handles FSs over 2TB pretty well:
twa0: <3ware 9000 series Storage Controller> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xfa000000-0xfbffffff,0xfeaff000-0xfeafffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci4

And with 8 1TB in a RAID5 drives it gives me:

The key word in Ivan's phrase is "less mangled". Neither use of or
increasing PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE solves the problem of interspersed console
output. I've been ranting/raving about this problem for years now; it
truly looks like a mutex lock issue (or lack of such lock), but I've
been told numerous times that isn't the case.
To developers: what incentives would help get this issue well-needed
attention? This problem makes kernel debugging, panic analysis, and
other console-oriented viewing basically impossible.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Hi, on FreeBSD 8.0 (i386 or AMD64) if we configure to use quotas on root
partition.
It stops on boot with the following message:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
mount option <userquota> is unknown
mount option <groupquota> is unknown
ROOT MOUNT ERROR: mount option <groupquota> is unknown
If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from
the loader prompt:
set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw,userquota,groupquota,acls
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0
This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
If i do:
ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Then the boot continues and it mount the quotas ok. but if I reboot the same
thing happen again.
This only occurs on FreeBSD 8.
Does anyone have a clue about the problem ?

Cross-building "works" in the sense of finishing with something which looks
like a release; but when I tried it a few years ago (when I was writing the
current generation of freebsd-update) there were some files which built
differently for cross vs. native builds. IIRC it wasn't a huge number of
files, though.

Well.... I managed to go to Marvell and get the FreeBSD 7.0 x64 driver
and use my USB key to get the driver into the machine:
mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
I then installed it using the instructions provided in the README.txt
file and now I can't even boot BSD any more :-(
I get total kernel panic with a complete system lockup.
I'm not sure if I will be able to recover from this or if I will need a
total re-install but so far BSD seems completely hosed on my machine :-(

I was recently going to look at it. The somewhat drastic approach I was going
to take was to add a simple serializing lock around trap_fatal() and a few
other places that do similar block prints (e.g. mca_log()). One of the issues
with fixing this in printf itself is that you'd want probably want to
serialize complete lines of text on a per-thread basis. You would want to be
able to accumulate this line of text across multiple calls to printf (think of
it as line-buffering ala stdio). However, some folks may be nervous about
printf not printing things immediately.
The other issue is that lots of code assumes it can call printf from anywhere
and everywhere. Mostly this just means that if you add locking and line-
buffering to printf(9) you have to be very careful to make sure it works in
odd places. Probably a lot of this could be solved by deferring things like
trap_fatal() until panic() has already been called (which is bde's preferred
solution I think).

[please don't top-post, it makes responding more work]
What is needed is the line just before the Vendor, with the card and
chip IDs. Then compare it against the list of cards the FreeBSD msk
driver supports:

Wait, the (binary|proprietary?) driver for FreeBSD 7.0 is almost
certainly not going to work on FreeBSD 8.0.

You may be able to unload that kernel module before booting. If it's a
kernel module; don't know. The one Marvell card I have in a notebook is
supported by the open FreeBSD msk driver thanks to Pyun YongHyeon.

Right, that will work, but the * isn't necessary. Portmaster will strip

The -r option is only relevant to an installed port.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is what I have done, but now I cannot mount the memory stick.
I create an image of the s1a partition where the kernel I want to copy
resides
dd if=/dev/ad0s1a of=/home/hallja/s1aimage bs=2048k
After preparing the memory stick I use the following command to
transfer the image to the memory stick
dd if=/home/hallja/ s1aimage of=/dev/da0s1a bs=2048k
I am able to mount the memory stick without any problem before I add
the image. After adding the image, I try to mount the memory stick
using
mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt1
And, I receive the following message
mount: /dev/da0s1a : Operation not permitted
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

ls /dev | grep ad4
ad4
ad4s1
ad4s1a
ad4s1b
ad4s1c
ad4s2
ad4s2p1
fdisk /dev/ad4

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:

On first slice I created ufs slice and on second - ZFS pool (I build it with
glabel):
mount

devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
tank on /tank (zfs, local)
tank/usr on /usr (zfs, local)
...
tank/var on /var (zfs, local)
glabel list
Geom name: ad4s2p1
...
I want GMIRROR'ing /dev/ad4s1:
gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
but I get error "Operation not permitted" (although I set sysctl
kern.geom.debugflags=16).
MY OS: FreeBSD 7.3 Stable.
What should I do to do this?
Thanks all.

Sorry!
When you mean 'top post' do you mean writing something after replying or
posting at the 'top' of the original information??? Apologies am
unfamiliar with the term!

Yeah I messed the system up completely now and attempted to recover it
with FreeSBIE based on BSD 6.0 which doesn't even start for some strange
reason. Can't mount the CD it says?? Any other system I've tried manages.

If I could just mount the hard drive I could remove the statement in
/boot/modules.conf
Unfortunately all I have available to me is Linux and Windows 7 which I
don't think will be much use!

Those type of examples in the man pages and UPDATING have never worked for
me in tcsh, I've always had to glob it like Garret stated.

Dont boot into the os, create the gmirror from the fixit mode of a cd, or
build a usb stick with freebsd on. You will need to newfs the gmirror device
after that so backup the data currently on /, then copy it back afterwards.
I have to ask, as you are using zfs why not just do a zfs root? If you do
decide to go for this option, use gpart to create gpt layouts, as you wont
run into partition size limitations if you upgrade the drives to big ones in
the future
