    Monitored backup with checksum

    I tried something like the following: mount -vvvv -o ro -t msdosfs /dev/ada1s1 /media ; \ cp -rf /media/._dc7600.particle_ /usr/home/dc7600 ; \ umount -vvvv /media ; \ chown -v -h -R dc7600:dc7600 /usr/home/dc7600/._dc7600.particle_ Turns out, it works; I have 2 hard drives (one 80GB, the...

    wpa_supplicant and PSK - How do I escape characters?

    You might try converting your passphrase to a group of 64 hexadecimal digits (this is where some of the characters' values come into play); this is one of the two options when using PSK (the other is entering your passphrase either as is or some other way as ASCII characters, I believe). The...

    lost /dev/ipmi0 after 7.3->8.2 upgrade

    Maybe try driver config? The driver may need to be subject to a re-make, because the computer might be using version-specific code (relative to operating system or environment). If the driver is NOT the issue, then maybe before upgrading, it may just be the module needed to be removed first...

    Makefile for Emacs extension package

    This might seem silly, but in the past when I wanted to compile Emacs for Linux, I had to download and extract the sources into the same spot; I then needed to run ./configure to prepare to make. Could the extra be the same way (extract to the same directory as Emacs)? Maybe try the...

    Changing keyboard layout in KDM

    Maybe try customizing the keyboard or nationality or other settings IN KDE. They do have a keyboard configuration there. Once done, back up your configuration either way.

    FreeBSD multiboot with Ubuntu/Windows

    Windows 7, Linux, FreeBSD? BE CAREFUL. Sorry about that; you are trying to do something I did. Re Win 7 and FreeBSD: I failed when I tried installing FreeBSD on the Windows 7 system (I subsequently destroyed the drive and set up Linux and FreeBSD). This happened because I set up the...

    another SSD partitioning thread....

    The partition (/dev/disk0s1 or whatever)? That is the slice. Take care of this with the 'Fdisk' option; there you basically slice your disk. It is after this that you (after being asked about the bootloader) will partition the slice. It can have eight partitions (seven, to be specific). To...

    Trouble with automounting large fat file systems

    I had passed that argument when I mounted my USB drive. The system did NOT have a problem with the command; then again, I did this in /boot/loader.conf: geom_eli_load="YES" I do not know if that helped. Also, I believe I put the '-o large' option before the fs type. Sorry I can't say...

    How to resize an extended partition

    If there is GParted, use that on LiveCD if needed to RESIZE the extended skeleton, the partition holding the partitions, and RESIZE the partitions within the partition. The extended is treated as a partition itself. Something you may be familiar with. The other partitions are logical...

    geli(8) and replay attack

    Compile Linux crypto for FreeBSD...specify one-time, but geli holds ultimate password. In Linux, swap is re-formatted. Hope this helps

    Using [anchor] and [jump] to make better HOWTO's

    A suggestion...show-and-hide info...for instance, one clicks on the link to get some help there, then clicks on it again to hide the help. Or even...I don't know how well this goes over...use a script that, focus-specific, allows for auto-collapse of helps to avoid clutter

    geli(8) and replay attack

    Maybe...THIS IS UNCERTAIN, JUST AN IDEA...geli setkey $prov # The partition is randomized already...or ought beThis forces a new password, if that be desired. Other than that, I am not sure. Maybe use geli partitions to be gbde partitions. Kind of like gbde-on-geli. On Linux...
