Dual booting DragonFlyBSD with WinXP

Hello, Has anybody setup a dual boot system with DragonFlyBSD and WinXP? I have 3 primary partitions on my WinXP laptop; I installed DragonFlyBSD on the third partition that is beyond 60G. I skipped the step to install the boot blocks, since I want to use NTloader to boot DragonFly. Later, I

Can't mount my hammer filesystem

Hi, I was using dragonfly bsd 2.8 x64 with 2 hard drives. Each hard drives were hammerfs powered and one hdd was a backup of the other with pfs-master / pfs-slave. The system was on a usb flash disk and it was just very slow and too little . So I deciced to format the master drive to install

Dragonfly network changes - U-Verse almost a complete failure

Hahaha... ok, well, I spoke too soon. U-Verse is a piece of crap. That's my conclusion. Here's some detail: * The physical infrastructure is fine, as long as you make sure there's no packet loss. To make sure you have to upload and download continuously at

Hammer recover question

I have a very old server that I was pretty sure was going to fail sometime soon, so I prudently started building a new one. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite fast enough and the boot drive failed this week. When it tries to mount root, it issues the usual successful hammer startup messages and then

Re: Dual booting DragonFlyBSD with WinXP

Has anybody setup a dual boot system with DragonFlyBSD and WinXP? Yes, I use the DragonFly boot loader (installed by boot0cfg(8)). Please make a backup of sector 0 (e.g. use 'boot0cfg -f'), before installing DragonFly boot loader, so you can restore it if needed. There is a minor caveat:

Re: Can't mount my hammer filesystem

Thanks for your reply. I don't remember if I installed it on a disklabel or a slice. I will be able to know what I did once I get the usb flash disk with the system and look at the fstab. Hopefully, I didn't lose data because I did several backups before :-) 2011/2/20 Matthew Dillon

Re: Hammer recover question

Thanks, guys. Yes, I can see how it would slow down on the bad spots. I'm just happy it's working as well as it is and I'll try to be patient. Any way you can add a progress bar to this thing? :-) Tim On Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 4:15 PM, Justin C. Sherrill jus...@shiningsilence.com wrote: On
