See "man md": The md devices refer to memory disks, RAM that "emulates" a hard disk. Sadly, I don't recognize a reason why your /etc, /usr/local/etc, /root and /var subtrees are mounted onto memory disks... seems that you're not running a default install, do you? Regarding your initial problem - updating ports - this involves writing operations in the ports directory (usually /usr/ports which may be a subtree of /dev/ad0s1a on / in your setting) as well as in /var, especially /var/db/pkg, the installed packages database, and /var/ports. When /var is a memory disk with 30 MB, it may be too small for such a process. Furthermore, if I see this correctly, you're loosing the content of the package database on reboot; is this intended? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
