no boot/loader

No /boot/loader
no /boot/kernel/kernel

I isntalled FreeBSD 7.0 with the defaults for partiioning. I am using one
hard drive in which I followed with the ASQ (auto, tag for boot, quit)
command. I choose the standard boot loader option. I installed through the
master freebsd site via ethernet. Upon the congratulation screen is asks for
a reboot, and to remove the boot disk, I resart to the error message above.
I believe it is because a boot loader is not installed, however, it should
be. Is it not in the set up, it is one of the first steps.

Following the errors I am in put into a boot prompt:

boot:

Are there any commands I can run from this prompt to manually boot? How can
I make the boot work? Will I need to install my own boot loader? How can I
install a manul boot loader? How can I check if the boot loader is
installed, but just not loading properly?

Re: How to set quota ( as Mbyte ) for a directory?

2008-08-08 Thread acmeinc

You may actually use the edquota -u command to set a quota a specific user. 
I think this is about as specific as you can get.  edquota -g is for groups
and edquota -f is for a filesystem.

Re: ACLs, permission mask and chmod g=

2008-08-08 Thread acmeinc

You may consider trying chmod 660 filename.

660 - UGW, user group world.  For each read, write, and execute is
given a number, 4,2,1 repectively.  So, 660 would result in rw-rw,  a
popluar format is 755, rwxr-xr-x.  You would simply replace add the numbers
together for each division and place them after chmod and before the file to
give the permissions you would like.

 That is, running the following command:

 ... is equivalent with
   $ setfacl -m m::rw-
 
 ... and not, as I would suspect:
   $ setfacl -m g::rw-
 
 In other words, foo will not be read/writable by its default group
 after the command have been run (unless it was already).
 
 I find this behaviour to be very confusing. It might be the correct
 bahaviour, but if so maybe the chmod(1) manpage, and possibly
 chmod(2), should be updated to document this?

Re: ACLs, permission mask and chmod g=

2008-08-08 Thread acmeinc

One last thing

have you tried;

setfacl -s

i notice you have -m in your original post.

Other than this, I won't have any other insight.

 It gives the same result. When changing group permission (either
 way) on a file with acls, you're effectively changing the acl mask
 instead. Also, if I change acl mask with setfacl, then ls -l will
 list the permission mask in the group columns in the output.
 
 If this is by design, then it isn't documented in chmod(1) (or
 anywhere else that I can see).
 
 It kinda makes sense this way, though. If you chmod the group
 permission, you change all groups' permissions. But I'd like to see
 it documented, as it caused me some confusion, and I still think
 that this isn't obvious.
