not sure, ultimatebootcd , as it has been suggested, may have some answers. For
reference, just get the drive model and get the full specs from the
manufacturer's site.
You can also peruse hardware testing sites such as toms hardware and others for
tests on that particular drive.

Advertised sizes are for unformatted media. Each filesystem will use different
amount of physical resources (sectors in the disk) to hold its metadata, so
that will of course vary. I suppose you can always use the disk in raw ...
using dd or some other clever tool you may devise... :D let me know how it
goes :)
you may be able to increase the amount of available space (of course, depending
on the filesystem used) by modifying the block size, but that will usually
affect the number of total inodes (or equivalent in NTFS / others) available...
man tuning should have a section on this, as well as your filesystem of choice
documentation (eg, man newfs in BSd, man mk* in linux , NTFS docs @ MSDN )

depending, of course, how you use it... if you only use mp3s, there are other

And you can always run your licensed version of Windows inside a VM to run

most apps that work for linux will run in freebsd too. just search for ipod
managers for linux / freebsd. then cross check which of those apps are in ports
(check in www.freshports.org ) - those apps should be the easiest ones to
setup. Doesnt mean that others will be troublesome, but if it's a port already,
someone else has been kind enough to ensure it works.

true...specially with the spread of libraries like gtk and python/perl under
windows...win32 ports are popping up everywhere.

Gotcha!
So, If I'm going to use the Port & make changes anyway, since,
grep berkeley-db Makefile
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-assembler --with-berkeley-db
I suppose I might as well just do
vi Makefile
.if ${ARCH} == "i386"
- CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-assembler --with-berkeley-db
+ CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-assembler --without-berkeley-db
.endif
I know about the BDB-engine removal, too. Funny that this Port
doesn't give you that option.
Thanks a lot!

RE: Hard drive RPM
As far as the 120gig != 111gig discrepancy, it sounds like the drive manufacturer use 1 gig = 1,000,000,000 bytes instead of 1,073,741,824 bytes for their advertising. It looks better on the box. It gets messy with drive advertisements as there's no required standard for how they advertise a gigabyte, and whether it's formatted or unformatted capacity. I just assume they're advertising unformatted capacity with 1,000,000,000 bytes as a gig, then I'm pleasantly surprised in the end if I have more than I expected. :) Cheers, Brent -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jekillen Sent: Thursday, 20 September 2007 12:47 p.m. To: FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: Hard drive RPM Hello; I have one that was expressly advertised on the package to be 120 Gb capacity, and in fact only 111Gb are available for storage.

I have one that was expressly advertised on the package to be 120 Gb capacity, and in fact only 111Gb are available for storage. That is a 9 Gb discrepancy. A Fire wire drive I have is also designated as 120 Gb and actually only has 117 Gb usable capacity. Like 9Gb is enough for several operating systems. 3Gb is even enough for an operating system. Can anyone shed some light on this? (Storage device labeling, and specifically, RPM specs) I would ask the manufacturers but would be suspicious of bias responses. That is what I got from one of them already. Thanks in advance for responses. The hard drives in question are running on FreeBSD systems on homebuilt hardware. All AMD64 processors, ECS, Gigabyte, and ASUS motherboards, Hard drives are Western Digital IDE, SATA, and Seagate SCSI drives.

You might be better served asking this question on the Dovecot forum.
In any case, from the Dovecot web site, when requesting help, supply
these:
1) Mention the Dovecot version number. Use dovecot --version to get it.
2) Use dovecot -n output when showing your configuration.
3) It lists only the main settings in dovecot.org though, so if you've
a SQL/LDAP related problem get their configuration with
grep -v '^*\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-sql.conf

Re: Philosophy of default "pkg_add -r" PACKAGESITE?
First off, thanks to Kris and Mel for the previous definitive answers. Let me see if I can summarize this correctly... 1) It's important that administrators who are taking advantage of pre-compiled packages (like me) use packages that have been compiled for their particular base system. 2) For users running a "release" base system, there is set of pre-compiled packages provided for use with their particular release. These are the packages found on the FTP site in the "release" folders on the FTP site. 3) The default behavior for "pkg_add -r" on RELEASE systems is to source it's pre-compiled packages from the "release" directory matching the underlying base-system's release. For a 6.2-RELEASE base system (for i386), "pkg_add -r" will source packages from... /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release 4) Those "release" packages are never updated for any reason. The list of available packages neither increases nor decreases, the versions of the packages made available doesn't change, and (presumably) the packages are never recompiled once the release has occurred. It's a static list of packages compiled (and tested) for a particular release and then never touched again. 5) If an admin wants to install pre-compiled packages that are not present in the default "release" directory, they can configure "pkg_add -r" to source packages from one of the other "package" directories by setting the PACKAGESITE environment variable to point to one of the other package directories. 6) Care should be taken when re-pointing PACKAGESITE as it would then be possible for you to install a package that's been compiled against a different version of some base-system library than you are currently running. How'd I do? Assuming I did well, a couple of more questions... 1) Regardless of what base-system version you install, eventually the base system will need to be updated (in the least, to apply security updates). So generally one important decision is what "version" of FreeBSD you're going to track when doing updates. Security? Stable? Current? So what's the recommended application install-procedure if you start with a release system and then track "security" via freebsd-update? (A common scenario, I presume.) It would seem that "pkg-add -r" is a no-go in this case. If you leave "pkg_add -r" pointing to it's default source, it'll grab packages compiled against the "release" system which, while unlikely, may have libraries incompatible with your new base system that's tracking security. If you change "pkg-add -r" to source from "stable" or "release" you're getting packages compiled against a base-system even more different than your own "security" base system. As far as I can tell there is not set of pre-compiled packages that have been compiled against the "secure" track. 2) How does "pkg_add -r" know it's on a "release" system? The handbook says that "pkg_add -r" will download from either the "current", "stable", or "release" package directories as appropriate. How does it know I have a release system and not a stable system? Particularly since my system is not *really* a release system once I do my first freebsd-update, right?. At that point it becomes a system tracking "secure", right? Thanks again for the input so far. The package thing is making way more sense, hopefully a few more clarifications and I'll grok it.

Sendmail out to port 2525
Am using FBSD-6.2p7 Sendmail-8.13.8 I spent several days trying different configs to relay mail from my sendmail relay received from another relay using postfix -- to a Windows server only listening on port 2525. So far no luck and all attempts to relay to the Windows server shows "service not available." Receiving emails from the sending postfix relay okay and my sendmail relay is attempting without success to deliver to the Windows machine. Here's the setup: 1) From - Postfix (transport.map = domain.tld smtp:[200.xxx.xxx.xx]:2525 2) To: My Sendmail Relay accept (access file - 200.xxx.xxx.xx RELAY mailertable = domain.tld smtp:[60.xxx.xxx.xx] 3) Relay to: Windows Server containing the users - listen to receive port 2525 Steps #1 & 2 works okay, but #3 shows service not available. Similar tests using another #3 machine listening on normal port 25 worked fine. (but, not until I disabled the mailertable domain smtp::[60.xxx.xxx.xx] How do I make #2 send on 2525 ??? Is it possible the postfix transport.map conflict with my mailertable? I have reconfigured my sendmail.mc file over & over from its defaults to this: FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnldnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=MTA, Family=inet')DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2525, Name=MTA')DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=MSA, M=E')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E') Any of you MTA experts can help me?

FreeBSD constantly hanging
Hi, I have a serious problem, that I cannot solve my self :( I have freebsd 6.2 router that has 3 NICs (lan, wan, dmz), suddenly (about two weeks ago) it started to hang without leaving anything in logs. I thought that it was hardware problem. So at first I changed motherboard, ram, cpu, NIC's, PSU, I kept changing everything but it was still hanging :/, reinstalled, but it didn't help. Then we got brand new PC and I did fresh install of 6.2_RELEAS-200708, but to my surprise it was still hanging. There may by power issues, but in the same place there are 2 more servers : HP Proliant ML310 G4 with windoze and second is simple P4 1.6Ghz with 6.0-STABLE, both of them are not hanging. Hanging machine is connected to the APC 350 ups, but it does not help.

Dovecot LDA help
I'm redoing my mail setup and am having some issues. I'm having dspam send
mail directly to dovecot for delivery. I've read the dovecot wiki
extrensivly and manged to get a config file from a friend that has it setup
this way, but I am still unable to get it working.
Here is my config for dovecot.conf:
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0660
user = vmail
#group = vmail
}
mail_location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n <-- all mail in
/usr/local/virtual is owned by vmail:vmail
The rest is all mostly stock and the usual config.
Here is my dovecot-sql.conf file:
password_query = SELECT password, 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users WHERE
userid = '%u'
user_query = SELECT 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'
1011:1011 is the uid/gid of the user vmail.
Now the question is, what is the problem here. I turned dovecots debug
feature on, and I see this:
