tmpfs is a very fast version of a regular filesystem on a memory disk. I don't know how optomized it is on FreeBSD, but NetBSD claims it's much much faster than the multi-layered approach of putting a regular (UFS) filesystem on a md. Keep in mind too that when using it for, say, a ports...

It all looks very package related, but anyway: Find which package installed a file: pkg_info -W /usr/local/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo

I can't really speak to minister/monitor/follow-up, but as far as update/patch goes, I would use (for the base system) either freebsd-update with the actual workdir shared via NFS (see the -d option), or doing the normal buildworld/buildkernel on one machine (& testing it to make sure something...

Just add a note saying that to use pkgdb you must have ports-mgmt/portuprade.

Is the drive perhaps suspending/sleeping/parking and then failing to resume? I should add that the direct command to disable spin-down for ada devices seems to be /sbin/camcontrol cmd ada0 -a "EF 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" camcontrol says that it has idle and standby, but I've never...

I suspect that stateful protocols don't work well on 802.11b with lots of traffic No, the build process will take care of that, as long as it finds the file it needs. Nope, it doesn't really care where the file comes from as long as the checksum and contents are correct. I've been doing that...

Well, for wall-clock times, definitely. Setting MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER= 5 should speed things up a lot. Some build jobs seem to do well up to (your example 4-core machine) values up to 9, it just depends on how i/o- or processor-bound they are. With values above 2*cores+1 (please mind your Order of...

& have fun umm . . . typing stuff Setting MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER= to something between the total number of cores and 2n+1 in /etc/make.conf will speed things up (and get your CPU(s) nice and toasty!), as OOo's build system does a very nice job of parallelizing. And, yes, it's a massive and...

Also possibly ufs:/dev/ada0s1a if this is a SATA controller that suddenly switch allegiance.

ARM? seriously? sounds like something google.com would use In the dimly remembered past Gentoo was trying to integrate the FreeBSD kernel into their general scheme of things. There is still this, though how much it has to do with FreeBSD (or any other BSD) at this point is beyond me...

Have you tried changing the search order of your $PATH? (I don't know if gedit, et al inherit $PATH, or from where, but it might be worth looking into)

Make sure you actually have the 32 bit libraries installed (not just binary compatibility in the kernel) in /usr/lib32/ (this requires that WITHOUT_LIB32 is not defined in /etc/src.conf or /etc/make.conf), make sure that whatever added /usr/local/lib/libXi.so has been compiled since adding...

Yes, the general assumption being that if you have physical access you can pretty much always get in. To make it prompt for a password in single user mode in the line from /etc/ttys console none unknown off secure change the "secure" to "insecure". Note that this doesn't stop...

Is libMG part of ports-mgmt/portmanager? Are you using portmanager here? You might look at deleting as much as possible, upgrading the rest, and then reinstalling all of the stuff you need.

1.25G RAM + 2.5G swap. Something in that SVG is really angry with my computer.

Well, according to df -H is for base 10 and -h is for base 2. If that doesn't adequately answer your question, then I am stymied.

As I have said on other threads, you can generally safely run pkg_delete auto\[mc\]\* after you're done upgrading, since nothing needs autoconf, automake, or their respective wrappers to run, only to build. And they're pretty low overhead to build, if needed: the things that need them will...

My 1.25G RAM linux laptop views it okay in Opera. I mean, where okay means that there's a lot of distantly connected points and gobs of white space and everything slows to a crawl and the machine pages stuff in and out of swap like crazy. If I try it with gnome image viewer it just spins and...

But how do you feel about the Oxford Comma? Don't hold back.
