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?
Hello,
this question should go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] list i suppose.
Anyways, you can solve your problem with sysinstall.Enter sysinstall,
choose configure, then label management.You will see the "Toggle
softupdates" (or something similar).This should do the trick.
