Re: how to create a DVD backup filesystem?

According to % man mkisofs the command above would (1) create the nonstandard Joilet extension that is required by MICROS~1 products in order to use 8.3 file names. Instead of -R, I would suggest -r for the standard RockRidge extension because it stores UNIX attributes in a good way for further usage (all files +r, no files +w). This makes further handling more easy eventually. You would end up with a pre-mastered ISO-9660+RR file system that you could load into K3B and then record it onto CD or DVD. Exact where do I click instructions, please. We're not in MICROS~1 land here. :-) I had never use for K3B, so only time I saw it was when I toyed around with PC-BSD. But I remember it has a setting for data disc or burn from a file wich is easy if you already have the premastered ISO image there. Alao, if I'm brave enough to use GUI, can I use ~/devel, ~/Music, and, say ~/texts? Why not? The only restrictions I would apply would be to make the file names a bit tidy. Of course, there's no problem using accents and Umlauts and all this stuff, and spaces, ampersands and who knows what else, but for maximum reading sureness, it's a good idea to only use a standard character set for the file names. If you only want to create an ISO from some subtrees, you can do this with mkisofs: % mkisofs -r -o /tmp/cd.iso ~/devel ~/Music ~/texts But this will discard the first level of directories, if I remember correctly. Another idea would be to temporally symlink the stuff that you want to include, then run mkisofs on the directory containing the symlinks - they get translated into the file structures they point at automatically, if I remember correctly. Or, if you've got enough time, just copy them, creating a master composition tree that will look the way if should be on the DVD then. ---I have learned to mouse-around and select my favorite mp3 and ogg-vorbis tunes, but that's just 80 minutes of music. No mount, no umount. For mounting, have the correct setting in /etc/fstab, such as # /etc/fstab # == # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# # --- - -- - - - /dev/acd0 /media/cdromcd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd0 /media/dvd cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1 /media/writer cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 OK, then what about the mount, umount commands? % mount /dev/cd0 /mnt // cd to /dev/dv0, read, listen, whatever. Then:: ^^ No, cd to the mount point, /mnt or /media/dvd or whatever you've chosen. You can use /dev/cd0 only if atapicam is present (loaded as a kernel module or from within the kernel). If your /etc/fstab does not specify a mount rule, don't forget to add -o ro because it's a read-only media, the system should know this. % umount /dev/cd0 Possible, but mostly it's more convenient to umount the mountpoint instead of the device, but should work in any of the both ways. ?? Would this work with our FBSD filesystem and-or RockRidge? Depends on it, see /etc/fstab above; this mount command implies ISO-9660 as the file system. Instead of cutting your filenames down to 8.3 MICROS~1 style, the RockRidge extension will provide the correct file names.

Re: Keeping FreeBSD updated (the binary way)
Since I started using FreeBSD with 6.2 on my home server, I studied this problem very well. In the default installation, there are a daily system check script and a daily security check script included in periodic. You can easily configure your system so e-mails are sent to you every days with the output of the execution of those scripts (usually sent to root). Also, freebsd-update can also be configured as a cron job that will fetch the latest update and send you an e-mail if core system updates are available. portsnap cron job will be executed in the security periodic job and will tell you if any of your installed ports need to be updated for security reasons. So... I always check the output of those runs in my e-mails every morning or every few days. If there is an update available from freebsd-update, I install it and I reboot the complete server if there is an update for the kernel or a used kernel module, or only a few services that depend on the updated files (often sshd). About my ports, I only upgrade those that get security notices. This way my system has been very stable, up to date and it doesn't take too much time to maintain it in this state. The only time where I upgrade all my ports is when I update my entire system to a newer FreeBSD revision (7.0 - 7.1, etc.). I'll also likely stay on a particular revision of FreeBSD until the security updates are ended for it. I first went from 6.2 to 6.3 on my old server because 6.3 was flagged for long term support (2 years). Went from 6.3 to 7.0 because I replaced my old server (Dual Pentium II) with new hardware. And I went from 7.0 to 7.1 because some new drivers were available to better support my new hardware (EIST on 45nm Intel CPUs, Atheros L1E network adapter). Now my hardware is well supported, my system is very stable and I will likely stay on 7.1 until January 2011 (end of support for security updates).

You can also do without dvdisaster, and write more than 3 GB to the DVDs, but if you plan to archive them and be able to read them a few years ahead, you'll highly value the error correction codes overhead. ;) Oh, and you'll still have to read the data back after burning, just to be sure everything's okay.

If you write an ISO-9660 filesystem on the CD/DVD, you can mount it from FreeBSD/Linux/Unix/... and Windows. It will work. As archive, I'd recommend a filesystem that can be mounted by as many platforms as possible, and that is currently ISO-9660 with RockRidge and Joliet.

works) the following error is show
(process:47722): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id (0)
Following this advice, all I could find,
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-emulationa=2005-11t=1506833
The fix is, to tell /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf to look at NIS too.
Is UID 0 in your /etc/passwd? Can you try changeing
/compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf to something like this:
passwd: files nisplus nis
shadow: files nisplus nis
group: files nisplus nis
Uid 0 is in my /etc/passwd, there's no /compat/linux/etc/passwd., and
changing /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf to read the same doesn't fix
the error message.
Advice, suggestions?

The hash is used by the shell as a mapping between program names and their canonical location on the file system. It's what lets you say `ls' instead of having to say `/bin/ls', etc. If you install a new port then such shells will not immediately pick up the new executable - which is when you need to `rehash'. bash handles these cases differently, obviating the need for the rehash command.

That's may be your contribution to the project. You even may become a maintainer of the port. Thanks for your contribution in advance! WBR Well, maybe I might categorize things a bit. There are programs, like inkscape (which was mentioned), they're really far better at either doing drawing, or modifying already finished drawaings. These kinda programs (including the biggest of them all, gimp), while being incredibly good at drawing, they fall very far short of being technical drawing programs, which basically want to help you lay out spcific items constructed mostly from lines, circles, etc, packing them up into subitems which can then themselves be manipulated (like, drawing a schematic of a transistor, saving it, and then dotting that transistor all over). A technia drawing program is what you want for that, and a art drawing program is what you want if you are trying to get straight artistic effects (like maybe a web page background. There's a 3rd level, the Cad programs, they're usually based upon the technical drawing programs, either directly, or merely extending the command set) but they usually add in substantial support for active dimensioning. If you're going to do something really substantial, like drawing an architectural drawing, you definitely want a CAD program, like maybe Autocad. Drawback with those is that they're definitely pricey, and definitely have a far harder learning curve. If you wanted to limit yourself to technical drawing, your best bet is likely the xfig program. It's been around more than 20 years now, 20 years where there has been steady improvements. The interface is so well conceived, you don't really even need to read teh manual to use it at the 80% level, and a little thought can give you all the rest of it's capabilities. This won't do you any good if you're trying to do something like take the fog out of a picture, or maybe remove red-eye, but if your goal is to produce a technical drawing at 0 cost, and with the least investment of your time, with results which can still look very nice, then go look at xfig. There's a second one ... I never really liked it all that well, but tgif seems to be more integrated into using a browser as an active tool, and it's also had all those years of active development. Like I say, it's not by favorite, but if you wanted to be able to look at 2 of the best technical drawing programs and then make your choice in a more reasoned manner, then compare xfig with tgif. They're both FreeBSD ports, both VERY well done, if you want technical drawing without reliance on advanced pro-level features and dimensioning, this is the way to go. I never had a chance to look qcad over.

newsyslog.conf and large numbers of Log Files
Can newsyslog be made to handle large numbers of log files such as all the *.collect.log files produced in our mrtg directory? Each device produces a log of the polling session and those logs get huge very quickly. There are 498 such files and putting a separate line in /etc/newsyslog.conf for each file is an absurd idea as we are always adding and removing devices from our network. The other alternative is a shell script to run that would compress each file after renaming it, etc. That is not a problem, but newsyslog already does that at least on single files. I did try path/*.collect.log and nothing happened. Thanks for any ideas.
