Hello again I have another issue on the same box. The bloke who installed FreeBSD 6.0onto the machine is a linux man. He didn't know about softupdates nor apparently does he know yet about option 4 [read only singule user mode] on the bootloader.
Consequently he hasn't set softupdates on the main '/' partition On Freebsd 4.x from ssh2 I used to: mount -fr /dev/ad0s1a / tunefs -n enable /dev/ad0s1a mount /dev/ad0s1a / but attempting this on FreeBSD 6.x immediately locks up the machines when in multiuser mode. On a workstaion I then tried to sneak tunefs into the first lines of /etc/rc. Unfortunately it seems that '/' is read/write mounted before /etc/rc runs, so the tunefs just makes an error and the box boots up again without softupdates. My question then is how to go about getting the tunefs line in a startup script, before the disk is mounted read/write and with realtime access only in multiuser mode by telnet/ssh2. Or perhaps there is another means, this being BSD? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
