Hi,
I'm new to the world of HA and Unix having just moved from a windows

backing up of off site machines. My problem is that I am not up

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary.

Folks,
I have some NFS exported filesystems (home directories) that I'm placing

Timing of making a snapshot on a 140GB filesystems running about 90% full

Given that these filesystems are fairly heavily used homedir filesystems,

I saw this in my daily emails this morning. What does it mean? I find
this strange as I have not connected any new accessories to my computer
in over a year, and this is the first time I've ever seen this.:

Hello!
I recently installed the FreeBSD 5.3-BETA4-STABLE version of the FreeBSD
operating system. I have a MSI mainboard with AC'97 built-in sound card.
I compiled my kernel with "device sound" but it doesn't seem to get the
job done. Is there a way to activate my sound card with this version
Using cvsup, after having issued "make update", it takes a long time to
recompile the OS sources and kernel by means of

You can make a file /etc/start_if.wi0 which has the line

Keep ifconfig_wi0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf. That should do it.
