7. Ports management
Fetch ports with the following command:
Then install ports-mgmt/portupgrade the tradional way:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/portupgrade/ports-mgmt/portupgrade && make install clean
Alternatively, remotely add the binary package:
Code:
pkg_add -r ports-mgmt/portupgrade
If a compatible FreeBSD installation is available (from the same major release and architecture), I strongly suggest to pkg_create it and then pkg_add locally (you can get the version installed with pkg_info). Working example:
At the compatible FreeBSD installation:
Code:
pkg_info | grep portupgrade
mkdir /root/portupgrade
cd /root/portupgrade
pkg_create -Rb portupgrade-2.4.6_3,2
At the installation in course:
Code:
cp -R /path/to/portupgrade /root/portupgrade
cd /root/portupgrade
pkg_add portupgrade-2.4.6_3,2.tbz
Abstract to the the procedure suggested to install ports from binary packages, skipping building dependencies as possible, and compiling only when absolutely necessary:
The Acer Aspire One has not enough muscle to leave it dedicated to compile just everything.
First, attempt to fetch the latest binary packages. If some dependency fails to be fetched, then force to fetch the available binary packages in the whole dependency chain (even if not the latest). If still some depencencies couldn't be fetched as binary packages, compile those as needed. Or in code:
Let's use as an example,
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs, which is going to be installed shortly. The package fusefs-ntfs-2009.4.4.tbz example should be replaced as well with the actual version of the port being installed.
A. Attempt to fetch the latest binary packages:
Code:
pkg_fetch -R sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
B. If successful, pkg_add the downloaded tarball (the name of the tarball appears in the pkg_fetch output):
Code:
pkg_add /usr/ports/packages/All/fusefs-ntfs-2009.4.4.tbz
rehash
pkgdb -u
C. If dependency fetching was skipped or failed, force downloading available binary packages:
Code:
portinstall -fFPPk sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
D. If successful pkg_add the downloaded tarball:
Code:
pkg_add /usr/ports/packages/All/fusefs-ntfs-2009.4.4.tbz
rehash
pkgdb -u
E. If forced-fetching failed, then do a direct portinstall, compiling as needed:
Code:
portinstall -P sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
rehash

10. Mounting NTFS slices in read/write mode
Install the NTFS-3G driver: sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
Skip the following quoted segment. The instructions in the fuse-ntfs and hal documentation were followed as indicated, but the functionality isn't there. It's included here just as reference.
Procedure for executing fusefs-ntfs in unprivileged mode:
- First setuid-root the ntfs-3g binary:
Code:
chgrp operator /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
chmod 4750 /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
- FreeBSD has a hard coded list of mount programs that can be called, so to make this work:
Code:
mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs-kern
cp /usr/local/share/hal/mount-fuse /sbin/mount_ntfs
chown root:wheel /sbin/mount_ntfs
chmod 555 /sbin/mount_ntfs
Work-around
To make this (sort-of) work with an internal NTFS slice, I skipped the renaming the mount_ntfs part, and added this entry to /etc/fstab :
Append to
/etc/fstab :
Code:
/dev/ad0s2 /mnt/ad0s1-rw ntfs rw,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g,late,noauto 0 0
/dev/ad0s2 /mnt/ad0s1 ntfs ro,noauto 0 0
This assumes the Acer Recovery FAT-32 slice was left intact, and the Windows XP slice is the second in line (default). If you removed altogether the recovery slice and now the Windows XP slice is the first one, replace ad0s2 with ad0s1.
Of course, both mount points have to be created:
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt/ad0s1-rw
mkdir -p /mnt/ad9s1
So, as root, the NTFS slice can be mounted either in read-write-fuse or read-only-non-fuse mode by issuing, respectively:
- or -
Next is a mount_ntfs-3g shell script to invoke the ntfs-3g binary (no -t ntfs-3g as it was already noticed, the mount types are hardcoded), to mount other devices (such as external USB):
New
/sbin/mount_ntfs-3g :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g $*
In theory, to give unprivileged functionality, mount_ntfs-3g could added to sudo. This is out of the scope of this guide, and in particular, not recommended.
