it =was= ``remind''... .
the calendar layout of when and remind are similar enough that i messed up. i think it must have been remind rather than when. i want remind to exec a popup that shouts at me that it is time to sack out. or whatever. so far i'm trying to use -k[command in my ~/.reminder file, but don't have it down exactly. according to the makefile there is a tkremind [??]. that is next to investigate. i have 9 or 10+ fairly brutal months ahead of me and i usually realize that it is way past midnight just too late, :-) thanks for any pointers. i thought i had my old config files saved, but nope. gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.83a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Remind me which filesystems exactly can be background fscked?
Pretty much anything but / (rot). I think it's just a matter of turning-on soft-updates for the root partition, which is sensible anyway if it's large. root partition is always checked foreground. i would be possible to check it background after modifying /etc/rc.d/* scripts ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have background-checking enabled there is a single call to fsck -p -F that does foreground checking on filesystems in fstab that aren't eligible for background-checking. AFAIK the sole reason that root is foreground checked is that sysinstall doesn't set soft-updates on it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Remind me which filesystems exactly can be background fscked?
I'll have to repartition my 6.3 notebook anyway. Can you remind me which filesystems I can have background fsck on? My current single filesystem install checks it in foreground. If I have a separate /boot, would / be background fscked? Or is the root filesystem always foreground checked?

AFAIK, UFS supports background checks as long as the fstab entries don't include the async option. fsck_ffs(8): To be eligible for background cleaning it must have been running with soft updates, not have been marked as needing a foreground check, and be mounted and writable when the background check is to be done. If these conditions are met, then fsck_ffs exits with a zero exit status. Otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit status. If the file system is clean, it will exit with a non- zero exit status so that the clean status of the file system can be verified and reported during the foreground checks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll have to repartition my 6.3 notebook anyway. Can you remind me anything except / can be. actually - i turn background_fsck off. it's better to check filesystems at start and be sure system runs clean. unless you have crashes everyday ;( ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK soft-updates are off by default for / because there's no benefit in the standard install, and because snapshots can cause problems with installworld on very small partitions. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
