any way to stop boot2 from waiting for keypress at system startup
Hi Everyone, i wanna stop boot2 from getting a input string to change default boot point.. is there any way around, other than changing boot2.c source code to disable this feature?? As you may know, on system-startup, if you press any key, you will see the following prompt, waiting for you to enter related string: FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a) boot: I checked it and found out that i can change boot2.c file to disable this section.. but I'd rather find another way.. Would you please let me know whether there are any other ways to do so? Thank you all in advance :) Best Regards, takCoder ___ 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

Re: any way to stop boot2 from waiting for keypress at system startup
Thank you for your quick reply. :) Unfortunately, no.. the option you are talking about is for limitting or disabling beastie menu waiting time, and i am using the option you mention as well.. I wait to disable a feature one step before that.. before even loading kernel.. i just don't know what exactly its name is.. but it's just at the beginning of boot2 procedure; it waits for 3 seconds for user input and if you press any key, it shows you the prompt i mentioned and so on.. if there is no key-press, the normal process will go on..

I believe in the addage don't fix what ain't broken, but in the case of db3, it IS broken and my db files get corrupted on occasion. I could move to db5 or db6 OR MySQL, or even postgres. I use simple primary key files, most entries are added from a CLI or termcap/curses screen. Some programatically. With about the same number of sequential dumps vs indexed random reads. I have no experience with the c interface for postgres or mysql, but also, do not know how much the c interface has changed for sleepycat 5/6 compared to the c interface for db3, which I understand quite well. So I am prepared for a learning curve irrespective of which platform I select. Records do not exceed much more than 10-20,000, with key sizes not much wider than 16 bytes (ipv4), 13 (mac), 32 (ipv6). And various smaller key sizes. Suggestions would be very much appreciated. Well, this is essentially a bikeshed thread... so why not chip in :) I'd say it depends on what is your priority or what do you want to achieve by switching databases. If you want it to be as easy as possible, switch to DB5 and you'll be ok. If you want to learn something interesting, try one of the recent NoSQL databases, such as Redis, MongoDB or CouchDB - they're like DBx but with significantly more powerful query capabilities. If you want to get a feel of how SQL databases work, go with PostgreSQL, but be aware that to really use a SQL database the way they're made to be used, you'll need to properly design a relational schema. Using them to store 20 KiB blobs indexed by a single key is way too simplistic and probably much slower than what you could get with a simple DBx engine. Also, SQL databases usually work with SQL queries, which are text, so you'll have a non-trivial task of fitting C structs in their text/blob field types - it's best to avoid it. Also, you'll need to learn how to tune and maintain proper database servers. If you want to just try SQL but without bothering with tuning and maintainance, try SQLite, but beware it is basically limited to a single writer (and inifinite reader) clients in the best case (with WAL journalling). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

When is /boot/menu.rc supposed to updated?
Is it the task of: 1. mergemaster, or 2. make installkernel, or 3. make installworld, or 4. the user by manually copying from /usr/src/sys/boot/forth/menu.rc? I upgraded a 9.0-STABLE VM yesterday, it was last touched late in August last year. The VM previously used CVSup for updating /usr/src, but is now using Subversion. Neither mergemaster nor make installkernel nor make installworld detected a new version of menu.rc, not even the change from CVS-Id string to the Subversion-Id string. This a bit strange, but maybe someone can shed some light on this. -- +---++ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +---++___ 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

Update your ports vulnerability database before attempting to compile curl. `portaudit -Fda` should do the trick.

Re: Should I be able to use mergemaster with freebsd-update?
Hi all, In case anybody was following this discussion, I have successfully upgraded the system from 8.2 to 8.4 using freebsd-update. The process did have some glitches (in retrospect, minor ones) but mostly they were not related to freebsd-update (like some issues with gmirror and firewall configurations). The data merging phase was quite bearable and reasonable (if a bit tedious) and all the databases got properly updated. Thanks to everyone involved!

It also overlaps some of the functionality of mergemaster in that it automatically merges as many files as it can, which is nice. Where it is under-designed and under-implemented is in its rudimentary handling of un-mergeable files, and in its total lack of support for the regeneration of /etc/*.db files (like the, uh, rather important password database) and sendmail aliases - things that you would handle via mergemaster in an ordinary, source-based upgrade, but which you must now figure out how to do by hand, without any guidance, and they really don't make it easy for you. ... ___ 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

I got same massage.
My /etc/jail.conf has been changed default one.
qjail-1.7 is way out of date.
you have to delete all your 1.7 jails
then do pkg_delete qjail-1.7
then
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/qjail
ee Makefile and make sure it says qjail-3.0
make install clean
man qjail
recreate your jails

OT: rsync on Mac OSX
I have been using rsync with Mac OSX with no issues until today. I generally use it instead of the copy command because if the copy fails on large files, I can pick up where I left off. I have backed up entire Final Cut Pro projects this way with no issues. However, I recently synced a drive to a folder in another drive, and the OS does not recognize the final rendered files as quicktime files. The files work fine in the parent drive. I have no idea what might be going on. I used the flags: rsync -vaur like I always do. Any suggestions?

Maybe modification times are newer on the target drive and rsync skips everything. You should probably also enable --stats and have a look at the final report of rsync, to see if it actually sync'ed any files, or skipped all of them because of mtime checks. ___ 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

Since you are going to wait anyway, why don't you try peeking at some of the file checksums while this is running? MacOS X comes with a shasum utility which implements SHA-256 checksums, so you should be able to look at a few random samples of these files, e.g. by running on the source disk: shasum -a 256 source_directory/file/path/to/some/file.ext shasum -a 256 copied_directory/file/path/to/some/file.ext If these are the same, then the applications look elsewhere, e.g. in the 'hidden' .DS_Store stuff some MacOS directories contain. But if the checksums are different, well, then there's your problem. ___ 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

But if the checksums are different, well, then there's your problem. That could be the issue. I did see some permission warnings with .DS_Store. However, to make space I had to dump all of it, so no files to do a post mortem on. I will have to check that out if things go awry this time.

X client without X server
Hi, Is there a way to install an X client without automatically install an X server? On all my systems, I throw xterm and emacs, as the primary tools I use for management, but the display is always remote, I never, ever, run X on the machine, but still it install X server, fonts and a lot of useless junk like xcalc. Is there a way to install xterm and only the libraries that are needed to run xterm?

Re: any way to stop boot2 from waiting for keypress at system startup
Yes you are right :) If i knew the feature's name, it would be easier to find this option out.. Actually i found mentioned flag while tracing boot2.c code...
