Maggot Monster posted:I wish Dell provided support for FreeBSD servers as I was only allowed to pick between RHEL and SuSE due to hardware support implications. I loving hate both of them, and I wish I could go back to FreeBSD. It seems to run fine on all their machines that we have at work. The only problems we have seen are with broadcom network chipsets and you can just order intel to solve that. We get our machines without the OS pre-installed. No idea about running stuff like management tools with linux compatibility layer though as we don't use it.

NetBSD is the one that will run on tons of different hardware, I think its more used for embedded devices and appliances. Probably not as friendly to set up, but very portable.

unknown posted:No - I'm looking at imaging a disk, and installing that disk in another physical server. Think of it as doing raid1 across 2 disks, then breaking the raid set and installing 1 of the drives in a different server (and having now both raid sets rebuild back to safety) Never really broke up geom raid sets. Usually our software raid servers are linux. You could use G4U and produce 2 images (one for each hard drive). If the drives aren't filled with data it will only be the size of what is actually on it since the images are compressed. The other way is to do disk to disk cloning, just clone one at a time. Once you have a clone you can use that on a second machine so you can do two disks at once. G4U doesn't even require the CD to stay in the drive, so once its booted you don't even need multiple CDs. Just take it out and put it in the next machine. See if hot swap works once one is done. If it does then you don't have to even reboot, you just remove disks and put in the next one to be cloned.

If the driver for your wireless is loaded (it might not even be in the kernel if you haven't built a custom one) you can do 'ifconfig -a' and it will list all the devices even if they aren't up. I've never done wireless on freebsd, but if it works like a normal device then it should be listed in sysinstall too when you configure your network interfaces. I usually use that to add the network info to rc.local when I am doing ethernet configs. This might be relevant: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html EDIT: But the background says DISCONTINUED. So the page might be outdated.

minute posted:Edit: Also, a dumb question, what does it mean for a device to be "up"? Is it not up by default after being loaded? It essentially means it is enabled. When you run ifconfig without any flags it just shows you devices that are up. It could be up, but not active. Such as with ethernet, where the device can be up but the media (the ethernet cable) isn't active (plugged in and getting a link).

I thought when you pipe ls instead of outputting it to the screen it doesn't need -1. And you could use wc -l to count the lines, by default it counts words. From ls man file: -1 (The numeric digit ``one''.) Force output to be one entry per line. This is the default when output is not to a terminal. So if you are piping to another command you don't need the -1 flag. JHVH-1 fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Jul 13, 2008 |

That one message talks about procfs. I think you might need linprocfs mounted for that to work.

juggalol posted:I'm pretty rusty with BSD, but from what I recall, that ought to be set in /etc/rc.conf , and it looks like it's already there: I think you need to set that to the public gateway, the gateway of whatever you need to connect to the outside world. You should try pinging out from the machine too, to a machine like 4.2.2.2 or google.com. Then you can tell if traffic even leaves the box.

LooseChanj posted:Yes, I do. And they're retarded as gently caress for it, because like I've said a dozen times what happens when the automagic doesn't work? I'm expected to guess what settings to put in xorg.conf? If there isn't, someone should create one. Half the drat posts in the Linux thread end up being people who can't get their nvidia card to work or something like that.

The original post said: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE *** VULNERABLE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE *** VULNERABLE FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE *** NOT VULN FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE *** NOT VULN I am assuming 7.2 and 6.4 are at risk as well? If it was an 8.0 only thing it wouldn't be too bad cause none of our customers have upgraded yet. Any more info/discussion to be linked to?
