2015-02-10 Thread yary
I'm setting up an openBSD 5.6 box with a 4TB raid to back up a video editing cluster. I'll be using BackupPC which likes to have a single large volume so it can de-duplicate files using hard links. Thus the main volume will be all the 4TB. I know FFS2 can handle that size easily, but I'm worried a

a thankyou to OpenBSD

I don't post much any more, my OpenBSD systems "just work". Just wanted to post a thank you to OpenBSD because it does "just work". My day job entails a lot of Linux support, lately I've been dealing with the big screwup associated with network interface naming. WHY can't Linux follow BSD's str

Hi, I'm new in OpenBSD (I'm loving it), I came from Linux. I installed the last (5.6) version, and I started to use, without doing any change in audio settings. The first thing I noticed while computing at night, is a litt

More partitions!?

Been upgrading by install, and I'm finding I want another several partitions. I presently have, in addition to whole drive, swap, and root, /home, /tmp, /usr, /usr/X11R6, /usr/local, /usr/obj, /usr/ports, /usr/src, /usr/xenocara, /var, and /my/DOS. I want another for /usr/xobj, but I need to keep
