PS: this forum is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE by those with dial-up connections. It takes 10 seconds for every character that is typed! SOLVED. Sorry, the problem was that sendmail needs to be world-executable, whereas, I typically prefer to keep all world permissions off on my systems unless...

Agreed a I agree, so in conclusion, I am just putting my vote on the internet that FreeBSD keep it's configurations such that one can easily choose IPv4 or 6 as they require, and avoid "pushing" IPv6 on people by making it difficult to configure an IPv4-only system.

Think about what you write. At first, I laughed in shock at what you said about base64 numbers (as if they are different than any other numbering scheme), but then you did continue to make a valid point about bitstreams across copper/optics. Anyway, the point was that if more addresses were...

Thanks, this is interesting, because there is no documentation on this in the default /etc/make.conf or /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf - and there is no src.conf in the installation - though I did see the manpage for it. I did see the option in the kernel config, but not the system-wide...

Ha? No, IPv6 was not designed for a shortage of addresses for people to use. Yes, it was designed to assign an address to every imaginable thing - this is plain. I do not want to argue who has more knowledge of what because ad hominem attacks amount to nothing of significance. What do you...

Interesting. What does the "free" in FreeBSD stand for now? Free as in "free beer" ? Or Free as in "free speech" ? IPv6 enables every single thing imaginable on the planet to be monitored, tracked, and controlled with RFID chips. It is an evil so great that it defies imagination...

Hi. I am new to FreeBSD 9.1 (by way of 9.1 destroying my 4.11 machine), and see that much has changed. It will take some time to study all differences, most notably the new procedures for kernel compilation and IPv6 infecting the entire system. I suppose I will eventually find the answer to...

Conclusion Well, here is how things worked out for me: bzip2recover was worthless for me, it just kept spitting out "block found from 4234234 to 7656768" type messages, but never saved any blocks as I thought it should. scan_ffs worked great, I think. I had overwritten the 4.11 drive...

I am God, and you may call me Progress. Love me, serve me. I am everything you live for, everything that sustains you. Bow down and worship me, give your soul to me. I give you technology as your new religion. Believe in it. It is your water, your bread, your breath. Without it, you...

My best guess is that the 9.1 install CD/iso has code that writes to boot blocks previous to any final installation. I can't think of any other way this could have happened. I will try scan_ffs on my 4.11 hard drive (right now, I am trying a bzip2recover on /dev/ada0 to search out my backup...

Thanks! Hmmm. Thanks. It (actual downloadable file) doesn't show up on internet searches easily, and it doesn't show up in a ports search either. I apologize for not looking in the sysutils directory. # cd /usr/ports; make search name=scan_ffs # I will attempt to follow up if I found...

scan_ffs looks like the perfect utility for me. It seems to have been developed by OpenBSD and is available for all other BSD's, but disappeared from FreeBSD circa 6.2, and I have not been able to find the FreeBSD source code for it in the archives. Does anyone know what happened to it, or why...

Yes, but I never had a s1 slice with the 32GB card installed, so it was never a mounting option for me. Devfs and the dynamic creation/deletion of devices is new feature for me with 9.1. Also, I am working with just the raw 9.1 installation at this time. I am unable to look at or use my 4.11...

bsdlabel: /dev/da0: no valid label found. Other things I know: The 32GB card never worked in the camera, even when brand-new, never-used. So, there is something technically different about it than the 256MB card. But I never formatted it or did anything to it. Only saved files to it as a...

Fdisk Output from SD Cards 256MB SD Card (small card from a camera) ============= ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=243 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=243...

Additional Info I should note that I can mount and read the 256MB card fine. Works perfectly (note for others: mount MSDOS cards with /dev/da0s1, not just da0). But no-go for the 32GB card with the BSD bootblock. I should also note that I was able to boot into 4.11 after installing 9.1 a few...

9.1 Overwriting Boot Blocks? OK, I have discovered something somewhat interesting. As noted previously: 1. After installing 9.1 on a slave drive, I found I was unable to boot from my 4.11 master drive, as well as being unable to mount the 4.11 drive from the 9.1 drive. 2. After installing...

Targus Micro SD Card Reader This is exactly what I have. I hope you are still around, because it is not working with my 9.1 kernel. I don't have X going and can't copy/paste (don't know about moused), but am a little (lot) desperate to access this device, and I would like to know if you, or...

Outdated? I don't know about 4.11 being "outdated" as I often wonder if "progress" is practical "progress", or just progress in the Ted Kaczynski Ship of Fools sense of the term. I don't do any more with FreeBSD today than I did in 1995, but everything requires 20x more space, memory, and CPU...
