Hello,
My box (5.4 Stable) has taken to crashing when I do a make
index (in /usr/ports) after a cvsup ports upgrade. I think the
problem may be down to overheating as it only does this when
the server is put under considerable stress (I take it that
make index is stressful on the PC) and has done it before
when I was doing some data manipulation which stressed
it for an hour or so. After that I added some cooling which
solved the problem...until now.
My question is do I need to repair the index if the box crashes
while making it? If so how do I do it. I read on google that 5.x
doesnt need to make index in the same way as 4.x did so I am
safe by not running the command?
Cheers
Richard
Sounds like a case for "make fetchindex", in which your box
will download INDEX-5 from a freebsd.org server instead of
building it from scratch.
