Re: Best way to partition a small HD

I agree with the first reply that you should check out 6.0-R; however, with a 500M drive, I would go with your initial instincts to cut off a piece for swap and use the rest for a single filesystem. Unless you know the precise list of ports, where they go and how much space they take up, slicing u

Toshiba Tecra: ACPI and APM woes...

Hi all, (apologies for the long email!) I've recently made the switch to FBSD 6.0 (FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #6: Mon Jan 30 15:08:44 EST 2006) from WinXP on my work laptop, a Toshiba Tecra A2. Apps work great, but the system feels a bit unstable...too many (fatal) crashes for my liking. (and hardly a

Building Identical Configurations

I'd like to build and tune one server and then create an iso of the configuration so that I can easily build additional machines in the same configuration. I've tried googling but perhaps I just haven't used the right search parameters to find the info I'm looking for. I have figured out being

Dumping /usr to samba mounted drive

I'm having trouble dumping /usr to a samba mounted drive. The process dies over processing 4 gigs worth of data. My other partitions dump fine, but they're all less than 4 gigs. This is the error I'm getting: DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Feb 3 03:31:05 2006 DUMP: Date of last level

k3b hardware detection

Hello. I just tryed installing k3b and I did follow all the instruction from pkg-message5. The problem now is that my burner is detected as a cd-rom read only device. First of all: _ I'm using FreeBSD 6-STABLE; I followed the instruction for FreeBSD 5.x, since that's what I was presented with

RE: Best way to partition a small HD

FreeBSD 4.7 is no longer a supported release. You really should be looking at doing a fresh install of 6.0 from scratch so you can take advantage of the new file system which came out in 5.0. When it comes to FreeBSD slices on the hard drive, the sizes created by the auto selection during sysinstal
