Fw: Best way for a gmirrored gjournal?
Dear all, I'm forwarding this message to this lists, as current@ obviously was the wrong recipient. I kindly ask you for your ideas and proposals on my questions below. Regards, Patrick Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:08:35 +0200 From: Patrick Hurrelmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Best way for a gmirrored gjournal? Hi all, Currently I'm trying to install a new server and need some hints on how to best configure filesystems using gmirror and gjournal. The server in question is a amd64 with 512mb of ram and 2x 80gb sata hdds. So I was thinking of a mount-point layout like the following: ad0s1 / (1gb) swap(1gb) /var(8gb) /tmp(1gb) /home (4gb) /usr (13gb) /jails (39gb) ad0s2 10gb for journaling Which would leave a space of 10gb for journaling. I digged through the mailinglist-archives and man-pages of gmirror and gjournal but all I ended up with are questions and doubts :) Now I wanted to create 2 mirrors (gm0s1 and gm0s2). Gmirror gm0s1 containing the slices ad0s1 and ad2s1, while gm0s2 should contain ad0s2 and ad2s2. I created 2 slices, as with the above shown partitioning I was running out of mount-points for this slice. Is such a layout reasonable? Or is it stupid to use a dedicated slice just for journaling and better skip e.g /tmp partition to leave space for a dedicated journaling partition on this slice? Btw. are 10gb enough for journaling of 6 partitions? Or do I need one dedicated partition for journaling each? If I skip using a separate partition for journaling data, gjournal keeps telling me that e.g. the root partion of 1gb is too small for jorunaling. Would it be save to decrease journal size altough man-page discourages? What do you people out there suggest? How do you handle systems with gmirror and gjournal combined? Or even use ZFS although ram is limited (as the machine will serve up several jails with e.g. postgres)? I'm really looking forward to suggestions from you. I intentionally directed this mail to current@ as I think that here are the most people around with experience on gjournal. But if I better should direct this mail to questions@ I'm happy to do so, too.

Problems installing FreeBSD with 3ware 9500S-4LP
Hi, finally i received my new raid-controller, bu i have problems installing FreeBSD on it :/ I tried different releases and current snapshots... 5.1-Release w ACPI: Loading twa.ko (binary distribution of 3ware.com for 5.2) in sysinstall failes. w/o ACPI: same as w ACPI. 5.2-Release w ACPI: loaded twa.ko in sysinstall. install went ok, on next reboot it just halts after BTX-Loader. I cannot load twa.ko in loader. w/o ACPI: same as w ACPI. 5.2.1-Release identical to 5.2 Release. 5.2-CURRENT-20040420 w ACPI: install went ok, on next reboot the following message scrolls the screen and it reboots: Console internal keyboard/video (or sth. like that) w/o ACPI: same as w ACPI. 5.2-CURRENT-20040504 identical to 5.2-CURRENT-20040420 5.2-CURRENT-20040617 identical to 5.2-CURRENT-20040420 I attached a normal and a verbose-dmesg. As I'm new to BSD i don't know what to do now.

Re: 3ware Escalade 7506-4LP in PCI-X 66MHz slot?

The mainboard I am considering (Tomcat E7210 S5112G2NR) has a PCI-X 66MHz slot. Will the 3ware controller work in that slot? yes, it will as pci-x slots are backwards compatible. but please correct me, if i should be wrong ;) Patrick -- === Patrick Hurrelmann | Programming today is a race between software Mannheim, Germany | engineers striving to build bigger and better | idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying outi at bytephobia.de | to produce bigger and better idiots.

Re: PDF plugin for Mozilla?

When I click on a PDF, it prompts me to use gpdf to view it, and then will open it up in a separate window. Is there a plugin I can use so that it opens right in the browser window? The only Mozilla plugins I found in the Ports collection were for Flash. Thanks! Jen installing acrobat reader 5.08 (linux-version) will install nppdf.so. maybe you will have to setup your libmap.conf, so that it uses the right threading-libray. with linux-pluginwrapper flash and pdf-plugins work quite easily. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
