Anyone have any luck with DL145 G3 and 7.0
6.2 detects SATA disks 7.0 does not. Some docs suggest BIOS updates. Does anyone know why device support would drop from 7.0? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Invoking ldconfig without arguments wipes all hints and makes me very sad
I just wrote to the list about the SAME thing. I totally agree. This is like the saying 'rm' command without arguments will delete every file on your computer. I did the same thing. I wish it was a virtual system I did it to as well :) On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 3:30 PM, Shelby Cain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings list.

I hate to sound ignorant but I have to ask, is there any particular reason FreeBSD's ldconfig defaults to this seemingly unintuitive and non-newbie-safe behavior? Would a patch that changes the behavior of ldconfig to assume -r in the absence of command line arguments and adds a new parameter like -e[rase]|-d[estroy]|-w[ipe]|-z[ap]|-l[olnewbie] to enable the original behavior be likely to gain any acceptance?

Re: Invoking ldconfig without arguments wipes all hints and makes me very sad
The command ldconfig -v Wipes your hints without saying a thing about it. I would not call that verbose. If you want to know what I think it should output I suggest. ldconfig -v Number of paths specified 0 News Hints Size: 0 On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 5:44 PM, Shelby Cain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 2008-04-10 at 23:09 +0200, Mel wrote: First of all, running ldconfig without arguments does nothing bad. Running ldconfig without flags and with arguments does. Secondly, what is the command: ldconfig /usr/lib supposed to do, according to newbie friendly logic? Because it should be possible to just have the linker create hints for one directory. Your example seems perfectly reasonable should one wish to create hints for only one directory. However, in my particular case it seems that my blunder of running ldconfig -v (and not ldconfig by itself as I had assumed - my bad) is sufficient to render it impossible to log in as my regular user account since I had set my default login shell to bash. That, in conjunction with root being disallowed by default in sshd effectively locked me out of my machine once I closed my only open ssh session. Modifying my original suggestion slightly, is there any reason why it would be a bad thing for ldconfig to assume -r when either -v with no other arguments (or no arguments at all) is passed to ldconfig or is there some specific reason for the current behavior?

ldconfig I don't like it very much
Running ldconfig with no arguments is a death sentence for Free BSD. I believe the default should be to rebuilt the hints based on the system files. It seems like if you run ldconfig with no arguments it wipes all the hints. Since root uses bash as a shell I can not find a way to login and fix this. even the console has the problem You have mail. /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libintl.so.6 not found, required by -bash Will a reboot cure this or do i have to go single user? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Reboot handled it , the commands you mentioned are effectively ran on reboot.

Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here? The filesystem (UFS2) supports disks larger than 2TB, but fdisk(8) and bsdlabel(8) (which are what sysinstall uses to partition the disk) do not support disks larger than 2TB due to limitations in the on-disk format they use. You will need to use gpt(8) instead to partition your disk. or don't partition at all This cannot be done from sysinstall and you normally cannot boot from a gpt(8)-partitioned disk due to lack of support in the BIOS of most PC. or use old disk, pendrive, DVD-ROM etc. for booting ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Seems like a shame to boot a nice 9TB disk pack off a floppy Disk or a Pen drive.

Re: Why are some linux users saying that FreeBSD is dying
It would be helpful if you provided a URL for the article. I do not think they mean that FreeBSD systems are dying in terms of crashing or uptime. They might mean that the Free BSD community is not growing as fast or staying as active as the Linux community.

Re: making FreeBSD phone home via SSH
I believe the stunnel application is made to manager and restart tunnels like this. However stunnel is a wrapper application around reverse ssh tunnels, which someone has already mentioned. You may want to run your ssh server on tcp https 443. Because some firewalls will block outgoing things. SSH server on 443 looks like a secured web site to almost all packet inspecting engines.
