hp or Toshiba laptop?
Hi guys, I'm looking into buying a new laptop in the next week, due to budget, time and the fact that I'm near the end of civilization right now, I have the following choices: Toshiba Tecra A6-SP3032 (Core Duo 1.83GHz, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g), Intel PRO/1000 VE 10/100/1000 Base-TX, FastIR, Intel GMA950, Realtek ALC861 Audio, 5-in-1 cardreader, FireWire) or hp nx6320 (Same specs, except Broadcom NetLink Gig-Ethernet (BCM5788M) and ADI1981HD audio, no cardreader). I'll be running 6-Stable on this, with X, Gnome, et al. Has anyone had any experience (positive or negative) with either of these machines? Which wired Ethernet works better with FreeBSD? Is the wireless reliable/unreliable, does it work at all? Audio? Graphics under X? What about IR/FireWire, cardreader? And most importantly, what about power management? -- Christian Lopez de Castilla Wagner [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP ID: 483EA9B6 (+591-705)98290 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Weird / FS behavior
I'm posting this to -questions and -stable, since I'm not sure if it is a problem or if I'm simply overlooking something. (If someone knows how to get a Siemens phone to dump the whole addressbook/calendar/whatever via Bluetooth to a SINGLE file, please let me know.) Anyway, I have the following directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls ~/S56/vcs/20060504/ 000_29.10.05_Meeting.vcs 019_24.02.06_Meeting.vcs 038_03.04.06_Meeting.vcs 001_02.11.05_Memo.vcs 020_25.02.06_Meeting.vcs 039_13.04.06_Meeting.vcs 002_05.11.05_Meeting.vcs 021_26.02.06_Call.vcs 040_14.04.06_Meeting.vcs 003_07.11.05_Meeting.vcs 022_28.02.06_Memo.vcs 041_18.04.06_Meeting.vcs 004_03.12.05_Memo.vcs 023_08.03.06_Memo.vcs 042_19.04.06_Meeting.vcs 005_03.12.05_Call.vcs 024_09.03.06_Memo.vcs 043_24.04.06_Meeting.vcs 006_05.12.05_Memo.vcs 025_12.03.06_Memo.vcs 044_28.04.06_Memo.vcs 007_08.12.05_Memo.vcs 026_15.03.06_Memo.vcs 045_04.05.06_Memo.vcs 008_12.01.06_Memo.vcs 027_17.03.06_Memo.vcs 046_31.07.06_Memo.vcs 009_13.01.06_Meeting.vcs 028_17.03.06_Meeting.vcs 047_15.09.79_Birthday.vcs 010_18.01.06_Meeting.vcs 029_19.03.06_Memo.vcs 048_18.11.83_Birthday.vcs 011_23.01.06_Memo.vcs 030_20.03.06_Memo.vcs 049_11.12.06_Memo.vcs 012_25.01.06_Meeting.vcs 031_25.03.06_Call.vcs 050_03.01.78_Birthday.vcs 013_27.01.06_Meeting.vcs 032_25.03.06_Meeting.vcs 051_09.01.76_Birthday.vcs 014_28.01.06_Meeting.vcs 033_01.04.06_Memo.vcs 052_25.01.77_Birthday.vcs 015_02.02.06_Memo.vcs 034_01.04.06_Memo.vcs 053_08.03.79_Birthday.vcs 016_12.02.06_Meeting.vcs 035_01.04.06_Meeting.vcs 054_12.03.75_Birthday.vcs 017_13.02.06_Meeting.vcs 036_01.04.06_Meeting.vcs 018_21.02.06_Meeting.vcs 037_03.04.06_Memo.vcs [EMAIL PROTECTED] du ~/S56/vcs/20060504/ 112K/root/S56/vcs/20060504/ 112Ktotal And: [EMAIL PROTECTED] df Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 989M766M144M84%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad1s1e 248M 25M203M11%/tmp /dev/ad0s1d 54G 14G 35G29%/usr /dev/ad1s1f 54G 40G8.9G82%/usr2 /dev/ad1s1d 739M305M375M45%/var linprocfs 4.0K4.0K 0B 100%/usr/compat/linux/proc /dev/da0s1 19G1.3G 18G 7%/back01 /dev/da0s2 19G1.7G 17G 9%/back02 blackout:/usr/backup5.0G3.7G906M81%/blackout total 152G 62G 81G44% Anyway, I want to import all those .vcs files into Evolution, but since there's no bulk import feature and I'm too lazy to do it by hand, I do the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat S56/vcs/20060504/*.vcs S56/vcs/20060504/cal.vcs /: write failed, filesystem is full cat: stdout: No space left on device So: [EMAIL PROTECTED] df Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 989M967M-57M 106%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad1s1e 248M 25M203M11%/tmp /dev/ad0s1d 54G 14G 35G29%/usr /dev/ad1s1f 54G 40G8.9G82%/usr2 /dev/ad1s1d 739M305M375M45%/var linprocfs 4.0K4.0K 0B 100%/usr/compat/linux/proc /dev/da0s1 19G1.3G 18G 7%/back01 /dev/da0s2 19G1.7G 17G 9%/back02 blackout:/usr/backup5.0G3.7G906M81%/blackout total 152G 63G 81G44% And: [EMAIL PROTECTED] du S56/vcs/20060504/cal.vcs 201MS56/vcs/20060504/cal.vcs 201Mtotal Just to check: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat ~/S56/vcs/20060504/*.vcs /usr/cal.vcs [EMAIL PROTECTED] du /usr/cal.vcs 46K/usr/cal.vcs 46Ktotal No matter how much space is left on /, the file will always grow until it reaches 106% capacity.

Re: Weird / FS behavior
Whoops... insert embarrassed smiley here. I just got it. That's what happens when you start pounding away on the keybaord without thinking about it first. Thanks for the prompt response, guys. At least we all got a laugh out of it (at least I did :-)).

You're overlooking something :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat S56/vcs/20060504/*.vcs S56/vcs/20060504/cal.vcs The shell creates the cal.vcs file before it expands the glob (the *.vcs), and therefore the cat command ends up using cal.vcs as input as well, causing a nasty feedback loop.
