Can't you just boot the machine in single user mode, use the recovery shell and fix stuff from there ?

mysql -u'USER' -p'PASSWORD' CREATE DATABASE your_database; ^D mysql -u'USER' -p'PASSWORD' your_database < your_dump.sql Hope it helps ;)

Well, PCI-express NICs also exist. It's cool :)

That really seems cool. Too bad I can't use it... Doesn't seem to work with ZFS.

I will try that. Thanks.

Hello there, Sometimes (probably once a week or so), my ethernet device (msk) will stop working and flood the first tty with "msk0: watchdog timeout"... The only fix is to restart the machine, but that's kind of annoying because I can only access it via SSH... And, obviously, when the...

I use the BK650EI, because the battery can be changed, and it has USB connectivity (and it works very well with Apcupsd). And it's pretty cheap too. It gives me ~8-10 minutes of battery power. Power outages never go longer than that here. It's always less than a second or a few minutes at...

I'd recommend you the APC ones, there is a compatibility list on the Apcupsd page :)

Excellent news, thanks !

Don't use ECC ? It's not mandatory if you don't want an absolute 100% uptime. I agree with you about the HDDs : they have a good capacity/price ratio, though I'd rather use UFS2+SoftUpdates+gmirror on it (more mature thus less risks for a production environment).

Yes. And motherboards supporting ECC ram are usually much more expansive. And according to this, the motherboard you choose won't support ECC ram.

The CPU he selected already has three cores. It's just an AMD one.

If you're paranoid, you might want to use GELI and encypt everything (root, swap and your other partitions). (Sorry for double post, can't edit :| )

Well, I'd recommend you use jails, pubkey+password ssh identifcation, gmirror and, also, invest in an UPS (with apcupsd) :) Also, what will be the (estimated) load of the machine ? You might buy cheap occasion hardware that perfectly fits a mail/ftp server.

Awesome ! I'm definitely gonna start a fresh install using amd64 to actually use those four gigs of Ram ! (In a few weeks, though... Not the time now.)

Hello there, I am going to install FreeBSD amd64 on a machine that has a ICH7R southbridge. I want to do RAID1 (mirror) with two hard disks, is it better to use the ICH7R fakeraid or gmirror ? I want to mirror everything, including the root partition. The machine will basically be a...

Thank you, mate. ;) I thought the "-f" option would only set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER to yes.

What is the format of the video that you are trying to play ? I had similar issues with MPlayer, trying to play some crappy FLV. Using VLC did solve the trick, though.

Well thanks, I already use portupgrade to keep my ports up to date, but I read the whole manpage and I didn't read anything about a way to force the reinstall all the ports.

Thanks for this tip. A little precision : if you use a non-csh shell, you have to edit the rc file of your shell, not /.cshrc. The syntax might change (export instead of setenv, ...).
