I always (well almost, I have some systems where I do the tar thing) use
bsd.rd and it has worked perfect for me every time so far! I don't know
if it's the official preferred way but it's the way I prefer!:-)

afsd?

[Anders Trobäck]

Hi,

is afsd working in 5.2?

If yes, where can I read about the error "arla[13196]:
kern_open /dev/nnpfs0: Operation not supported by device" besides
in /var/log/daemon?

If no, where can I read about why?

Thanks!

So now it's just net/openafs for afs support?

Re: moving postgresql files to seperate mount

Hi there,

just need some kind of acknowledgement for my workflow :)

a naive approach would be:

 - extend the virtual disk
 - create a partition /var/postgresql (thats the folder under var 
right now)

 - move the files to the new partition
 - hope it works :-P

So hope someone with experience in such scenario can give me a hint or 
too


Thanks and regards


Hi,


Normally it works :-) (don't forget to make a pg_dump of all databases). 
I don't use extend, I just adds a new disk and mounts it temporary some 
where and copies the data and then mounts it on the right folder.


As an alternative you can mount the new file system wherever you like 
and point to in in the config file but I don't like that. Non standard 
places easy creates mistakes.

And maybe sysutils/hotplug-diskmount can help you...

I'm running 4.8 on a E6500 and my cd are working just fine but I'm
using the AHCI mode!

If you change i strongly recommends to backup all the data (but you can
skip the Win7 data, you shouldn't use that any way;-))!
