exerr -E_O_EXERR

\ with no luck.
If the message does not have to be a *single* command-line argument of
the exerr function, you can split the message in multiple arguments
and use '\' for continuation lines, e.g.:
echo This is a very long message \
that does not fit in a single \
line of text.
This might not work if you _have_ to pass the string as a single
argument, but even in that case you can use shell substitution to wrap
the exerr() function, e.g.:
exwrap()
{
return exerr $*
}
exwrap This is a very long message \
that does not fit in a single \
line of text.

upgrading squeezeboxserver
Hi, I recently upgraded to the newest version of audio/squeezeboxserver. After the update the server is unable to rescan my music collection. Does anyone else encountered this problem?

It will serve you much better in the long run. I agree with this wholeheartedly. I recently posed the question about doing this with a make buildworld/etc dance from i386 to amd64, e.g. if there was a known sane method for accomplishing this. The general consensus was 'well, maybe if you spend enough time mucking with myriad problems as they come up maybe it's possible...'. Basically you will spend less time following the above directions, finish the project and be free to move on to others more quickly. It is easier when dealing with servers as they usually only have a fairly limited number of ports installed. Having the appropriate backups on hand, as if for bare-metal recovery, also allows for rolling it back to the previous state fairly quickly should one get into a stop/no-go/stuck situation. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

So, in general, jails have to contain pretty much the same OS as the base. There are some variations possible, like running a 32-bit world in a jail on a 64-bit box, or running alternate FreeBSD versions to the main system (takes a bit of tweaking to make work properly, but this is used by the ports build cluster for example).

I am rsyncing 500 MB from one usb drive to the other. If any of the drives should fail, the whole system hangs. For example, if there is a power glitch in one of the drives, the whole system hangs. As you may know, some of the external enclusores and/or power cables can get in the way and even the slightest movement can disturb the drive. What I don't understand is why does it have to hang the system?! Has anyone else experienced this? I mean I can understand that you may get corrupted data etc. but how is it possible for a failed write operation to hang the complete system!? Maybe this issue is only related to USB drives? Both drives are USB 2 and have UFS. Thanks beforehand for any feedback or ideas.

Does anyone else encountered this problem? How can I revert to the previous version of squeezeboxserver (I'm using Portmaster to upgrade my ports)? I had this problem and managed to work around it. I haven't had time to track it down enough to file a bug though. My fix was to downgrade p5-DBIx-Class to version 08120. There's probably a proper way to do this thing, but what I ended up doing was downgrading the port's distinfo file, replacing its contents with the following three lines: MD5 (DBIx-Class-0.08120.tar.gz) = ebed5ed315618e783ac048767aed90a5 SHA256 (DBIx-Class-0.08120.tar.gz) = c97af692cbbf9779457e669b52d117b3b174aac3826d4af20da7f26e5aabe479 SIZE (DBIx-Class-0.08120.tar.gz) = 513806 grabbed from r47 found here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/databases/p5-DBIx-Class/distinfo?sortby=rev and changing the PORTVERSION in the Makefile to 0.08120. Then did a make, a make deinstall and a make install. There was probably a make makesum in there too.
