Switching from 32 to 64 bit with freebsd-update?
I have a 64-bit system that had the 32-bit version of 6.3 installed on it. Is it possible to use freebsd-update (or another somewhat painless method) to switch the system to 64-bit? We're running into the 4GB memory limit. --Wade ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
USB keyboard locking up on 7-RELEASE/amd64
I have a Dell Optiplex 755, with an Intel Core 2 Duo chip. I have installed 7-RELEASE/amd64 on it. 2GB of RAM, 6GB of swap. The install went fine, but post-install I'm running into a problem where the USB keyboard will just lock up. I can still ping and SSH into the system, but after about 2 minutes of activity, the keyboard becomes nonresponsive. I can move the USB plug to a different port, and see that it's recognize, and the keyboard comes back, but a couple of minutes later, it locks again. I've checked with things in the BIOS, but can't find any setting that makes a difference. I've tried both the 4BSD and ULE scheduler, no changes. Any thoughts or known issues that would explain this? When the lockup happens, there's nothing in /var/log/messages or dmesg to indicate a problem. The only other clues are that sometimes, right before it locks, it will go into a repeat loop on a keypress, and it seems to be able to be reliably triggered by switching virtual consoles (though not exclusively). I've tried different keyboards, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. Thoughts? --Wade ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The chipset is supported, but i wouldn't recommend onboard raid for any production server. Get a real raid controller, or use gmirror if you plan to mirror. I use several of these board sin production with gmirror. So if I run the disks in non-RAID mode, and/or use software RAID, they should work? --Wade ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Intel ICH7R RAID controller working on 6.1/STABLE?
I'm considering ordering some of these servers to run FreeBSD 6.1 or 6-STABLE on, but they have Intel ICH7R RAID controllers on them. Googling around, I'm seeing conflicting information as to whether or they work, or work well enough to use in production. The server specs are here: http://store.ebizpc.com/su5018.html Can anyone confirm or deny its support under FreeBSD?

Looking at the test in /etc/rc.d/tmp, it looks like /tmp will be mounted as a mfs if "/bin/mkdir -p /tmp/.diskless" fails. It should have been, but I went ahead and set tmpmfs="NO" in rc.conf, rebooted, and things are fine now.

Odd "phantom MFS mountpoint" issue
I've got a 5.4-RELEASE-p9 system that I was doing some memory filesystem testing on. I'm seeing something odd, though - a small MFS partition mounted over top of /tmp that I can't get rid of. Here's the system now: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrvoice]$ mount /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s1d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1f on /usr/www (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local) There's no md0 line in /etc/fstab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrvoice]$ cat /etc/fstab # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1d /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usr/wwwufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 I can see the md0 device with mdconfig: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mdconfig -l md0 I can stop all activity on /tmp, unmount it, and do mdconfig -d -u 0 to delete the resources. However, when I reboot the system, the mountpoint is back. I can't tell where the system is getting that from. How should I remove this mfs mountpoint permanently to get the disk-based /tmp back? --Wade ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The following will be the contents of apache.sh: It determines the PREFIX by the full path you use to call the script.

Parallel port CD Writer supported?
Does anyone know if a parallel port CD writer, such as the HP 7200, is supported in 4.2-STABLE? I haven't found any documentation for getting it to work. --Wade To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
