    That's a nifty looking little piece of hardware. Let us know how it goes!

    Wikipedia + FreeBSD

    There is a fine line between this being acceptable and a distastefully bad idea.

    auto mounting in Openbox

    You are running /etc/amount/amount, so you need to add that to your sudoers. What is openthunar.sh? Yes, it is safe. You can add the eject command if you like, but one downside I can think of is that once you unmount, you will have to physically unplug and replug your ipod to mount it again.

    auto mounting in Openbox

    Are you saying that you don't get prompted for a password when it's run from a terminal? Can you provide more information on your WM/DE setup? By "properly disconnect", do you mean so that the iPod recognises that it can be disconnected? When amount unmounts something, it unmounts the file...

    HDMI connect-event, automatic action

    Unfortunately devd doesn't catch all events, but to check if it does: telnet /var/run/devd.pipe And then try cause an event. If devd sees it, you'll get some text appearing in the telnet session.

    BSD licensed C, C++ and Fortran compiler released.

    From what I've gathered, the compiler is GPLv3, but the debugger and certain libraries are BSD licensed. Not very useful for the FreeBSD project, but a welcome addition to ports I'm sure. :)

    Finding device node from USB vendor and product IDs

    It's a little complicated, but try these commands: usbconfig -d ugen3.4 show_ifdrv camcontrol devlist -v In the first command, replace ugen3.4 with the device you want. Its output will show you the umass driver instance that's attached to it. The second command will show you which scbus...

    Memory question (PAE)

    If a fresh install is possible, do it. Rather go AMD64 than i386 with PAE.

    NEWS: ArabBSD

    I don't understand what the point of it is. FreeBSD for Arabs? And if so, how does standard FreeBSD fall short for Arabs?

    World IPv6 day. Are you ready?

    Much the same here. The technicians are IPv6 ready (myself included), but the suits are too busy counting dimes. Can't wait to get rid of the tunnels.

    AHCI device timeouts while performing ZFS scrub

    It should be no problem. The labels will still be fine - that's the point of labels.

    Trouble Installing Dual Boot BootManager

    One doesn't. boot0 auto generates a menu based on what the BIOS and partition table present. boot0 will attempt to read the primary boot device's partition table, and will draw a menu based on what partitions it finds. Each partition is given a shortcut key, starting from F1 for the 1st...

    ZFS + snaphosts: disk usage?

    This is something I've been pondering lately too. Same situation here - I need to backup data from a number of linux hosts to a ZFS pool, making regular snapshots as I go. Is rsync our best option for eliminating unnecessary duplication? Any other backup systems ZFS users are using?

    Trouble Installing Dual Boot BootManager

    I'm not sure why the handbook says what it does. The only drive that needs a boot manager is the drive which your BIOS recognises as the primary boot device. If that is your Windows drive, that's where you install it (it will overwrite the Windows boot loader). In that case your FreeBSD drive...

    Setting baud of USB to UART converter.

    Normally the speed is set by the process opening the terminal device. What is accessing it, and can't the speed be set in its configuration?

    natd very high cpu, stalls connection? please help!

    Come to think of it, what happens if you try and skip natd all together and just have your jails request an address via DHCP too?

    natd very high cpu, stalls connection? please help!

    You mentioned CPU usage is 100% on one core, so I assumed you had multiple cores at your disposal. Running multiple natd processes would allow you to take advantage of them. You can try alter your divert rule so that only outgoing traffic from 192.168.0.0/16 gets diverted, but unfortunately...

    natd very high cpu, stalls connection? please help!

    Three things you can try: 1. ipfw's kernel NAT 2. pf 3. running multiple natd processes, and divert traffic from different jails to each.
