Missing files/directories

On the weekend I reported to hackers about problems experienced with 2.2-stable and RELENG-3 systems where I experienced files that disappeared from cache and Mail directories that disappeared. The RELENG-3 system had files affected with softupdates enabled. The 2.2-stable system had sub-directorie

IDE controller detected in linux but not FreeBSD?

Last summer I encountered a P133 machine where linux detected the IDE controller, but FreeBSD did not. I wrote it off as a fluke. I've now come into possession of a stack of DECpc 433dxLP machines. These are 486/33 machines in a slimline desktop case. They have integrated IDE controllers, and I

you'll need to upgrade to a slightly newer than 3.1-RELEASE version of the kernel and recompile. Anything newer than about Feb. 19 should do. See freebsd-emulation lists last week for details. Mark Blackman In message , Don S ullivan writes: > >RSI's IDL/ENVI product's license manager (lmgrd) pr
