Myeah, that seems fine. Not that, then - nevermind me. :)

Dexom: Are you running WoW in openGL or Direct3D mode?

If you want to test the image (or the CD), you could install VirtualBox, create a VM, and set its CD drive to point to the image (or your real CD drive). That'll save you a reboot, and can also be used to diagnose if the problem is your computer or the CD(-image).

What's wrong with the current fdisk/bsdlabel is that it doesn't support any other disk layouts than the basic "BSD partitions in a slice on an MBR disk". Given the number of things FreeBSD actually supports (gjournal, gmirror, graid3, GPT partitioning, geli encryption, ZFS raids, atacontrol...

I'll have to dig up the relevant virtualboxes and finish this soon. x) First, though - I think I'll see if I can build and install grub2 from FreeBSD; that would make things a touch cleaner.

There's a CAM/ATA integration project in 8.0 that supports NCQ and/or TCQ. It seems to be perfectly usable and will be default at some point - if you want to test it, I recommend reading the freebsd-current archives. The relevant posts are this, which describes the idea, and this, which...

Maybe it's something odd with the stored KDE settings? Try renaming ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 (if that exists, I haven't got a FreeBSD machine at hand right now to check).

I suggest you try - it sounds like they have just been chunked (the first MB in one file, the next MB in the next file, or whatever size the parts are), and that's exactly what cat was meant to reverse.

More to the point, what are you trying to do? By the looks of it, libzfs is mainly used during a buildworld (I assume the ZFS userland tools use it), and isn't really something you'd otherwise touch.

It will work regardless of the content, if the file is just split cleanly in chunks.

Hmm, I get the feeling they might be inspired by a world where they hone their skills at the craft of war? Anyway, I have so far named my installs in very boring ways (essentially something identifying the relevant hardware) ... I think I have to come up with something more interesting. :e

If this is C, why not just malloc 60 bytes, bzero/memset them to 0, write the data into that area, and send off the entire 60 bytes?

I do wonder what'd happen if you compiled an amd64 system and did an installkernel installworld, reboot. :)

Regarding the permission problem - which user do the files seem to belong to as seen from FreeBSD?

I do, yes - what I've been lacking lately is time and energy. I'll see what I can do. ;)

I have, on one memorable occasion, accidentally upgraded my system to -CURRENT. Always interesting.

If you can install grub2 onto any partition, then yes; that should work. One option would be to create a small ext3 partition with a linux boot CD, and install grub2 onto that from there - slightly messy, but I would expect it to work. Alternatively, if you have a linux isntalled already you...

One issue: If FreeBSD is indeed in a logical partition, it isn't enough to chainload it. You actually have to make grub load and start the FreeBSD kernel for you - so you need a grub that understands BSD-style partitions, UFS, and FreeBSD kernels. I know GRUB2 does (that's why I use it), but I...

RMA. Essentially, I send it in and will most likely get it back after they fix it - if that's not possible, they usually send a new identical one. So yes, warranty. (2 years and 2 months into a 3 year warranty, if I'm not mistaken.) Anyway, I bought another MB - a P5Q-E. Time will show how it...

It is a bit annoying, yeah - good thing I also have a laptop. I've tried the most obvious recovery things - but it doesn't seem too keen on working. Will try a few things today, or it's downtown to buy a new MB. (I'll RMA this one if I do, then use it to build a server or something when I get...
