I can't show output from 'df -h' as I've already started putting all of my data back on the drive - which answers another one of your queries - everything's backed up to the hilt on several external 3T drives. I don't have a huge amount of data but I do enjoy the extra space and although I know...

Thanks. I know. I will. Just waiting for 9.1-RELEASE to arrive. Just such a huge job re-setting up SAMBA, DNS, NFS, DHCP etc. servers (don't like upgrading).

Hello all, I've got 4 x WD2002FAEX 2T drives setup in RAID0 using Rocket 640L RAID controller. I've newfs the array, set soft updates and when I do 'du -h' it showed something like 400k used (the .snap file) but when I mount it via SAMBA on my Windows 7 box, it shows 577GB used. Can anyone...

Thank you all for your responses. They work well enough. I get a few dependencies in there that I didn't install but mostly, it's good! The reason why I wanted this is because I'm doing a lot of testing setting up a server and I want a list of stuff I need to install to get it working again...

Hi all, I've read the man page and there doesn't seem to be a switch for it but is there a way to get a list of only the ports that I've chosen to install (omitting all of the dependent packages)? TIA

Sorry. I didn't upgrade. I did a clean install. The old system disk was an 80GB Seagate 7200rpm SATA (I don't have the model number with me at the moment). The new system drive is a WD10EARS formatted and aligned correctly. Would a slower system disk slow down data transfer speeds? The data...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that's not it. I turned of HyperThreading in the BIOS and if anything, it's a bit slower.

The thing is, I've partitioned them according to the post regarding the 4096B partition alignment. The way I'm testing it is by copying a DVD iso thats large enough (7GB) to watch the transfer rate as it copies over. There is constant activity (no heads parking) and the transfer rates now are...

Hi, I recently upgraded my file server PC from a Q9650 on a P5Q-Deluxe (2GB RAM) running SAMBA34 to an i7 930 on a P6X58D-E (6GB 'Triple channel' RAM) also running SAMBA34. I used the same network card (Intel Ether Express gigabit (em0)), same cat5 cable, same switch etc. same disks -...

Thank you I didn't even notice it was 2 messages mixed (capitals and lower case). I must be getting old. :( Thank you very much for clearing this up for me.

Hi all, In my dmesg, I found the following cryptic message: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad6s1a <<111188>>//ddev/eadv10: /FaILdE8: SFYILSET SEYMS CTLEAEN; MSK ICLPEANP;I SKINPGP ICNHGECKS I included the line above it (regarding /dev/ad6s1a) as I thought it might be related and...
