Re: Mirroring: gvinum or gmirror?
I've got a write-up of the steps required to do this if you or anyone else needs them. I also routinely disconnect one of the drives in my mirror before a major upgrade to the OS or ports so that if I mess it up, I can boot back to the previous state. I have a write-up of the steps needed to do this remotely over ssh (again, if you or anyone else needs them). Elliot I for one would like to see your writeup. As I'm starting to experiment with gmirror I think it would be helpful.

Wine installation/configuration question
I've having trouble with Wine. I'm getting the same error regardless if I compile from the ports tree, install a package, or compile from source. on FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE %wine program.exe fixme:msvcrt:_spawnve :not translating name /usr/local/lib/../bin/wine to locate program Then it just seems to sit there with Wine in a piperd state. I don't know what while would be waiting for and I've not had any luck with searching Google or WineHQ. Hopefully someone has seen this before or has an idea what it might be. Oh, the preinstalled apps, notepad.exe, sol.exe, produce the same result. thanks, John. -- - John F Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DSL router bridging question
I've got a bit of an involved question about dsl and router config so hopefully I'm able to make this clear. The situation I've got is, one dsl router w/ 4 inside ports, 8 routable IPs, 2 outside machines ( FW and Email/Web), and a number of inside machines behind the firewall. Currently I've got one IP for the inside interface of the router and one for each outside machine. DHCP and NAT are turned off on the router, but BreakWater Firewall is set to ClearSailing and Safe Harbour is On. I couldn't find the setting for the Safe Harbour option. Router is Netopia-3000 model 3347NWG. It's currently set to PPP over Ethernet. Ok, here's my issue, everything works fine from the inside, and machines behind the firewall can access the web server and the Internet, but it looks like the router is blocking all inbound connections. Does the router need to be in RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet mode and have the firewall run PPPoE to sign in to BellSouth? And if this is the answer, will the web server or any other machines (with routable IPs) on the router's inside ports operate as expected? I've looked at the handbook PPPoE info and it seems clear enough and there are a few sites with info on bridging the router, I'm looking for clarification before I start changing the current setup that bridging the router is what I want, that the router is transparent to the Internet, that is allowing all traffic in and out. thanks, John. -- - John F Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Odd Partition/Newfs Question
Added an additional hard drive to an existing setup. Then gave the following commands: bsdlabel -w /dev/ad2 newfs -U -O 2 /dev/ad2 mount /dev/ad2 /mnt/ad2 then went about the business of moving and rearranging for having the new disk. After the machine was back in production, I saw the odd mount point. My question is, have I just ended up ignoring the bsdlabel command and I'm using the entire disk as a raw disk or is there some set of reasons I should re-bsdlabel and newfs /dev/ad2a this time. What do you mean 'odd mount point'. You don't give any information that would make it seem odd. What does doing 'bsdlabel ad2' show you? Does it seem happy? Does newfs seem happy? I didn't include output from bsdlabel, as it didn't show anything unexpected %bsdlabel /dev/ad2 # /dev/ad2: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 490234736 16unused0 0 c: 4902347520unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit which looked right, the odd part was the fact that I issued newfs /dev/ad2 in place of the usual newfs /dev/ad2a So it looked to me as I just ignored the bsdlabel command and newfs'd the entire disk starting at an offset of 0 instaid of the usual offset of 16 With this being a non boot disk, I wasn't worried about it, I'm expecting that the bsdlabel information will get overwritten by the directory structure sooner or later. Except for forgetting that I have a device with a filesystem and no slices/partitions my concern is that there is some internal bookkeeping issue that I'm not aware of that will cause trouble if I don't have valid label information on the disk. Oh, I tested it with another disk, the directory entries will overwrite the label information, no real surprise there.

Odd Partition/Newfs Question
I don't think I've done any harm, but I wanted another opinion or two. Added an additional hard drive to an existing setup.

My question: is it possible to exchange data files between both both operaing systems in an easy and efficient way? I don't know if it would be considered the most efficient, but I've got my Sony GRT100 set up this way. It has worked out well so far. Three partitions 25GB NTFS (MS XP) 3GB FAT32 (Data sharing) 12GB BSD (FreeBSD) I'm using FreeBSD's boot manager for selecting the boot partition at startup. Best I remember I installed the above by 1) using FreeBSD to partition and install on ad0s3 2) install XP on first partition, format FAT32 partition within XP (admin tools - computer management - disk management) 3) reinstall FreeBSD, installing FreeBSD boot manager You could add an entry to /etc/fstabs to mount the FAT32 partition on startup, I just mounted it by hand if I needed it.

Re: Partition Size
I'm sure that many will disagree, but if you don't want to worry about the partition sizes, don't. Just have two partitions, / and swap.

During Boot - error after mounting root
guys, I can't figure out how to get the mailing list search engine to take this so I'm asking it here. We had power outage and machine went down, now during boot and after mounting the root partition the character string '^[[0' appears alot. The machine still runs and seems ok, but since I can't seem to get a search engine to take the string anyone got an idea what this is and if it's fixable without a complete reformat? Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for ns1.gaiserco.com 207.191.77.178 The FreeBSD lists are refusing to accept mail from here claming that my hostname can't be found.

RE: During Boot - error after mounting root
The machine is running just fine (best I can tell). It's a Samba server with internal email, no one's complained about it not working from the client side. It did take three or four attempts to get it to boot successfully after the power outage. But now it boots without any fuss except for the strings of [O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[ after mounting the partitions. the error is on the console, there not in /var/log/messages or dmesg. thanks for checking the DNS, it looks fine from here. I'll have another look at the files.
