inodes for mailing list archive filesystem?

2004-05-06 Thread Rob Ellis
I'm creating a large new filesystem for an html mailing list archive... I think I need to create more inodes than the default 'newfs' does (?). Does something like 'newfs -i 4096 ...' seem reasonable? Thanks. - Rob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: Vinum + new disk for mirror

2004-04-07 Thread Rob Ellis
Just a follow up on my recent vinum disk replacement question... I have a two disk mirror and one of the disks died; I'd asked if I could use dd to copy the good disk to a replacement disk and was being persistent about whether that would work or not. %-) I didn't do that (dd). Instead I followed

2004-04-05 Thread Rob Ellis
We have a machine with a vinum mirror, all the partitions except the root partition mirrored between two disks. The second disk has died and I want to replace it. I can't find a disk exactly the same, so I have a disk that's bigger (80GB, old one was 60GB). Can I... - shutdown, replace the

tracking local changes to ports?

Assuming it's fairly common to make changes to ports for local reasons, is there a recommended way of tracking those changes? I know make and configure args can be specified for portupgrade/portinstall in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but what about changes to the ports themselves -- e.g.,
