I have a system on which I have installed OpenBSD, this system has a FAT32 partition that I use to share key files between the different systems I have set up on different partitions, in particular the profiles for Thunderbird and Firefox. Basically, whatever system I boot into as long as I can mount this drive, I can access my browser (incl bookmarks) and email folders - something I find very useful if I bring one or another OS down through fiddling. I have been working through an install of OpenBSD and have got most things working. I can't seem to find the right settings in fstab to mount the FAT32 drive and make it read and writable by default. Does anyone have any suggestions or examples of a BSD fstab that mounts a FAT32 partiton. Being BSD, I have checked the documentation and the man file (man fstab) but haven't found what I am looking for in there - of course I may not be looking in the right place. Any suggestions?

I am now aware of three people who have had this problem under the above circumstances. In tracking it down it seems the Motorola's just stop sending packets on to the router, for no apparent reason. The fix has been rebooting the router, rather than the modem, also issuing ifconfig em0 down ifconfig em0 up where em0 is the WAN NIC interface also restores the connection. It seems reports on this may be limited to the Telstraclear cable network, suggesting there may be something peculiar about it? Anyone know anything about this or have any similar experiences?

So far I have replaced the WAN NIC with one that's definately going to use another driver, and I have disabled the 'offline proxy' functionality in squid, and it seems to be going good so far. My only suggestion though if this is occuring across both m0n0 and pfsense is that you try forcing a link speed on your WAN NIC eg 10T-HD or whatever the cable bridge is happy with Hope that helps, if at all :) Rawiri On Tuesday 04 September 2007 21:59:48 Tortise wrote: > Hi List > > Is anyone on the list aware of Cable Internet connections going down when > Motorola 5100 and/or 5101 modems are connected to FreeBSD routers, such as > pfSense or Monowall. > > I am now aware of three people who have had this problem under the above > circumstances. > > In tracking it down it seems the Motorola's just stop sending packets on to > the router, for no apparent reason. > > The fix has been rebooting the router, rather than the modem, also issuing > > ifconfig em0 down > ifconfig em0 up > > where em0 is the WAN NIC interface also restores the connection. > > It seems reports on this may be limited to the Telstraclear cable network, > suggesting there may be something peculiar about it? > > Anyone know anything about this or have any similar experiences? > > Kind regards > David Hingston > > _______________________________________________ > nzfug-general mailing list > nzfug-general at lists.nz.freebsd.org > http://lists.nz.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/nzfug-general From rawiri.blundell at ihug.co.nz Tue Sep 4 07:31:41 2007 From: rawiri.blundell at ihug.co.nz (Rawiri Blundell) Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 23:31:41 +1200 Subject: [nzfug-general] Where to go for information about fstab In-Reply-To: <46DD1964.9030809@paradise.net.nz> References: <46DD1964.9030809@paradise.net.nz> Message-ID: <200709042331.41945.rawiri.blundell@ihug.co.nz> Hey Graeme, what's your current fstab look like?

Message-ID: <46DE7AE5.7030009@paradise.net.nz> Hi Has anyone tried any of the desktop BSD's recently? I understand that there have been a number of improvements in PC-BSD. Last I looked, it was mostly easy for new users but did expose some of the underlying FreeBSD (i.e. when trying to set up a firewall). Having a look at the change log or the later versions, they seem to have worked pretty hard to make it simpler to set up and manage (Gui for firewall config, for Xorg config, Nvidia drivers, and Flash for BSD browsers enabled by default). Installing software is through packages called PBIs which install much like windows executables (except they require the root password or course). I wonder if some of the desktop BSDs are good enough to recommend to new users? What would be the requirements that a desktop distribution would need to meet to be suitable to recommend to beginners.

Any questions about DBSD, feel free to ask :D In my opinion ( The very basic difference is that PC-BSD is a customised FreeBSD+KDE+.pbi's (and a few other tools), one could argue even that it _slightly_ forks from FreeBSD by using non-standard /programs and .pbi's. For an absolute newb, PC-BSD is the go as it's essentially aiming to be a drop-in replacement for Windoze. OTOH DesktopBSD is just a plain FreeBSD+KDE+PORTS frontend (and a few other tools) and holds no desire to be a windows replacement - trying specifically not to copy-cat other OS's... too much. For someone wanting to learn BSD, and/or for someone who simply wants most of the work of setting up FreeBSD+KDE done for them, DesktopBSD is more appropriate. ) Which is better? Try both and see what you think. Personally I think both are technically great, but I'd personally prefer to stick to a more pure FreeBSD, and there's just something awkward about PC-BSD that makes me uncomfortable - I can't explain it. So DesktopBSD it is for me :) The only downside is both have issues with Flash. Apart from that they are the equal and in many places the better of any Linux distro. YMMV. > What would be the requirements that a desktop distribution would need to > meet to be suitable to recommend to beginners. Any thoughts... Well, when you say "beginners" what do you mean? Someone who has never touched a computer before or someone who has been exposed to windows but is still a newbie, or someone who is a windows 'power user' who is sick of paying money for malware/EULA headaches? And what will the users be doing? Generally: Usability, compatibility and functionality. For a newbie it should be point and click easy, it should be compatible with most file formats, and it should provide all the functionality the user needs - web browsing, email, multimedia etc Does that thesis answer your questions or does it raise more? :) Rawiri On Wednesday 05 September 2007 21:46:13 Graeme Kiyoto-Ward wrote: > Hi > > Has anyone tried any of the desktop BSD's recently?

There is anecdotal evidence all over the place that dbsd/pc-bsd tends to run faster than *ubuntu. I, for one, notice that on my Kubuntu workstation that it locks up about once a week - never for DBSD where I get monster uptimes - and I have to kill hung applications more often than I do on DBSD.

Basically the same as you Short story Retrieve latest file from CVS for releng6 Replace /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia with new file make clean && make install tzsetup Verify it worked with zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 && zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2008 Long story: A bit late but I realised I better get on to it. I'm still fairly new to FreeBSD but was able to work it out after some time. I first tried applying the diff as mentioned here http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-August/025661.html but that didn't work I presume because this is intended for the CVS file. I then tried using the file from here ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS/src/share/zoneinfo but make didn't work then, not surprisingly as this is a CVS file. I then realised what I wanted was the source file for my platform (6.2) so I retrieved the latest releng6 file from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia and used that and make etc worked fine. Then I tried tzconfig as the message suggested. This didn't work as it didn't seem to exist and when searching I quickly realised tzconfig for FreeBSD probably doesn't exist since the first result is that email and there are no other helpful looking results. tzconfig is for linux. After a little more searching I realised tzsetup was what I wanted so I used that. I also came across this http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10877_11-6163042.html article which was helpful since it told me the easiest way to verify it all worked is by 'zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007' and also 'zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2008' and make sure you have the correct dates. If it specifies October for the start date in 2007 and March for the end in 2008 obviously it didn't work properly.
