Interrupting df

2005-06-28 Thread Stephan Wehner
I'm running df and it just hangs. ^C doesn't interrupt it. ^Z doesn't interrupt it. My guess is that some filesystem is not responding; still I should be able to get my console back, shouldn't I? Is this the BSD way? (My other linux machine responds to interrupts). Stephan #uname -a OpenBSD

Let's get at this the other way round: What good comes from a designing the df command so that it might hang? I took it for granted there were no advantages. Stephan On 6/28/05, Otto Moerbeek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Tue, 28 Jun 2005, Stephan Wehner wrote: > >

What is recommended for bare-metal backups? Scenario: I build a new application, but something breaks and I want to revert back. I thought a neat way would be to have the whole system under version control. Can it be done reliably with one PC only? How do porters go about this? I feel this sounds

filesystem snapshots?

Is mksnap_ffs(8) from FreeBSD available in OpenBSD? (It allows taking a snapshot of a filesystem.) It seems not available as far as I can tell. Are there plans? Stephan

Re: djbdns DNS server? Status, Pros and Cons?

Is it not just a license problem that keeps djbdns out of the BSD's ? If it wasn't pretty secure it would be well known; there is a "djbdns security guarantee", http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/guarantee.html Stephan On 5/24/05, Anders Jvnsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello folks. > I recently bought

"Desktop" chrooted

The OP was unsure about the quality of djbdns. By "just" I meant that if the license allowed, it would be included, at least in ports. That's my guess. Stephan On 5/24/05, Theo de Raadt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is it not just a license problem that keeps djbdns out of the BSD's ? > >
