Uh-oh... fsck can't repair my files-partition!

Hello, after a total systemfreeze - probably due to a new installed kernel - i had to do a few resets. That bashed a few partiotions, among them the /files, which is my largest and most valuable with around 30 GB. All could be cleaned except of files, here is the output: -- # fsck /files ** /dev

You should send this to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' mailing list. You will get a better answer. You can do one of two things. Copy the files structure, /phpMyAdmin to /usr/local/www/data-dist or create a symbolic link. I would re-read the instructions, it tells you what to do. The symbolic link may get yo

Well, I'm not sure what it was but it wasn't the carnage return. But there is a hidden character. I did some simple scripts and the same code works when I re-typed the entire thing. The only parts that were effected were the encapsulated EOF tags. So there must have been some type of hidden charac

phpMyAdmin directory (newbie question)

I'm setting up a FreeBSD server for the first time. When I installed Apache, it created a /usr/local/www/data-dist directory, with www/data as an alias (symlink?). I then installed PHP, then phpMyAdmin, and it installed in /usr/local/www/data.default/phpMyAdmin. I understand that the phpMyAdmin di

ISP DNS blocking?! (was Re: fetchmail protocol error caused by DNS timeout - solution?)

Summary of problem: Some emails that show up in my mailbox at my ISP come from addresses for which I can't get DNS, and for which trying to get DNS info causes a long delay and a timeout--but a long enough delay to cause my fetchmail retrievals to die with a protocol error and thus leave all later

Aureal audio driver bug?

Hello, I am unable to play audio cd's. I am running FreeBSD 4.7. My sound card is a Montego II (Aureal Vortex), using the aureal-kmode driver. The sound system is working. After trying a number of GUI players I resorted to using cdcontrol. As you can see from the following, the disc is recognized
