Sorry, forget to mention that you have to remove the exit line.
Furthermore I had to add a cpdup line to copy /usr over.  But with these
two modifications you should be fine.

The script doesn't seem to work. Firstly I had to change ad6 to ad4, and
remove a line saying "exit 1" after the 10 second warning. The partitions
get created but it seems that most of the important stuff doesn't get
cpduped over as for example the /boot partition ONLY has 1 file in it
(loader.conf) and the kernel and everything else is missing, theres whole
lot of other stuff missing too. I tried the process twice, with the same
results each time.

What to do now?

The installer doesn't support it yet. It's on my list for the next release.

However, you can use rconfig(8). Matt recently added a script to 
/usr/share/examples/rconfig for that purpose (haven't tried it yet 
myself, though).

Back from nycbsdcon!

2008-10-13 Thread Matthew Dillon
I'm back now from NYCBSDCon!  It was a really excellent con.  Something
like 150-200 people or so.  All the presentations were excellent and
were taped w/ full video.  I think if you go to NYCBSDCon's sites/blogs
there are audio and video references to them, or will be soon.

My own talk was very well received and, as usual, highly technical.  I
also got to meet a lot of people including Pawel Jakub Dawidek who
has been doing the ZFS port for FreeBSD.

It was a great deal of fun.  Tons of food, excellent side conversations.
My voice is still horse from talking so much.

If people have URL references to the con, please post them!

--

I hope everyone survived the financial meltdown!  There were a few
no-shows at the Con due to the mess, it being NYC there were
numerous local BSD users working in the financial industries who got
messed up pretty badly.

DragonFly project finances are still fine so don't worry about DragonFly.

For those badly effected by the meltdown we'll hope for a good recovery
at time rolls by!

This week may be a little hairy for me.  I do not yet know whether I'll
need to help bring our sailboat back up to the Bay Area from Monterey,
so my presence on the lists will depend on that.  A few off-shore storm
systems muffed up the return schedule so I'm on-call now.  I'd
consider it an extended vacation but bringing a boat north up the
California coast usually means upwind sailing in heavier seas == I'll
be cold, miserable, and seasick.  But at least we'll still be in a
harbor each night and have a nice big seafood dinner at the local
restraunts.  Take that you fishies! :-)

--

I hope to address three niggling issues with HAMMER this week:  First I
may at least try to fake the st_nlinks field for directories to fix issues
with 'find' as reported by Joerg.  Second I intend to fix the @@
extension parsing so it does not try to interpret certain mail system
spool file names as as-of requests as per another bug report.
Sascha's bug report is still open but further testing is needed, and
I will close the Debugger() entry that 'cont'ing from caused the data
failure he got to become permanent on-media.

I already have one test machine running with UFS /boot and HAMMER for /,
/home, /usr and /var (the last three are PFS).  I used Matts rconfig
script to do it.

Just reboot the box with a live CD/DVD and execute his script called
hammer.sh (its in /usr/share/examples/rconfig/).  If you have another
disk setup, be sure to modify the script!  The script is only available
on a 2.1 CD, its not present on 2.0 (not sure if it was MFCed for
2.0.1).

As a side node: the machine is stable since 13 days and builds packages
all day long :)

Matthias

I have applied the patch (against 2.0_Slip, with lots of fuzz) and
done a quick rebuild and I can't reproduce the problems I was having
with python.  I was using offlineimap when I first hit this problem
and so far it's grinding along without complain using the CDT time
zone.  

Thanks for the patch!

Installing DragonFly head on Hammer root ?

2008-10-13 Thread Petr Janda
Is it yet possible or is it coming? 1) Does the installer support selection of 
file system. I need to install a DragonFly OS and i definately need at 
least /home and /usr on Hammer, but I want to do it during the install, not 
complicatedly after the install. Can someone show me how?

2) is /boot now on separate partition?

Thanks,
