Sorry to bother you people, but I can´t get anyone to bite on -questions or
-isp for either of these, over the last couple of days :
1.
FBSD 4.3R GENERIC, dmesg.boot shows
ad0: 9541MB <ST310211A> [19386/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
ad1: 73308MB <IBM-DTLA-307075> [148945/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA100
acd0: CDROM <IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM 52XS> at ata1-slave using PIO4
ad0 is a standard 4-partition setup, but ad1 is not yet recognized
When I go to /stand/sysinstall for fdisk on ad1, I get:
"WARNING: A geometry of 148945/16/63 for ad1 is incorrect. etc"
but full-screen fdisk and disklabel work ok. I leave sysintall, and try
mfb1# fdisk -BI ad1
******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
I´m not on site to play with it, but somebody is. What do I tell the
person to do? is the 73 gb useable? swap out the disk for an 8 gb like ad0 ?
2.
I´m setting up a couple of outbound, high-volume mail gateways that need
some kind fairly quick failover when their primary DNS is down, to use
another DNS. The behavior available in some resolvers seems sufficient.
I´ve seen resolv.conf options of such as attempts:4 and timeout:2 in the
DNS & BIND book, etc but these are not in the 4.6R man resolv.conf page.
Is there any other way in FreeBSD to set these resolver params?
thanks
