yeay - I think we could be getting more disk tonight, now that the right freebsd with fixit is mounted. :)
just confirmed with freebsd people... the only one with the "fixit" mountable volume and shell is the full dvd
Woo hoo!
and now that up_the_irons and I both understand that (grin), I should be able to get my disk space on two machines that has been there since last week but I haven't been able to use. :)
got a "nagios low disk alert" last two nights in a row.  somehow, it knows. :)
whee.
peee.
he is a weechat user, go figure
:P
he likes to go wheeee? :)
heheh
DaCa - please stop
RandalSchwartz: sorry, that was the last one, had a hard time reconfiguring irssi to use ipv6 for all irc servers
especially oftc who presents both A and AAAA records for irc6.oftc.net, had to force irssi to use the ipv6 one
oo
lugwv?
that should happen naturally
at least, it's the recommendation
that's what I expected too, but it doesn't
irssi does its own multi address family handling, which violates the principal of least surprise, should use getaddrinfo() and be done with it
lolz
leapard!
leapin' leapards!
lol
I neever sed I cood speel
does anyone know if it is possible to get isc-dhcpd to add a lease to the dhcpd.leases file for statics?
cant seem to find an option for it
yeay!  with correct freebsd dvd, I can now grow my disks
freebsd should learn about bsd.rd
well, are you going to tell freebsd? :)
I certainly can't
dear freebsd, bsd.rd is so useful, simplistic kernel + compressed ramdisk in one file with all utilities one might ever want to install/upgrade/repair/reformat/restore a system .. why require a huge dvd?
maybe googlez searches will locate that line
$ ls -l /bsd /bsd.rd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9080254 Aug  9 20:07 /bsd*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6376759 Mar 24 02:14 /bsd.rd
(OpenBSD/i386)
I think that's called a "rescue" disk in freebsd
and yes, it exists
but it's not distributed.  I have to make one myself
so, can you plop a standard distributed kernel into your filesystem, boot it, and repair/resize/fixit/etc your disks? no. thats the whole enchalada of bsd.rd

oh and here's a non-paid plug. consider gandering at cyphertite.com .. I happen to think they're doing some neato things right wrt dedup, encryption, and open source with a business model ;-)
Ahh - it's "memstick.img".  That's the tiny thing with the livefs and the fixit shell
but it's not an ISO... it's raw memory in the form of dd'ing right to a memstick
now if only that could be compressed into a ramdisk kernel, you'd have bsd.rd
I bet you'd love to boot bsd.rd on a whim to grow disks in the future rather than the week(s?) of finding the right iso er dvd to grow your disks
those instructions remind me of 386bsd. pages of commands to type to get the system installed and finally if you did it all correctly, it even booted
(and yes I'm heckling...)
no - this would have also been the same ISO to install the system
but the problem was finding the 8.2 version and not the 8.0 version already in the tray
and a bit of miscommunication
