FBSD 4.3R GENERIC, dmesg.boot shows ad0: 9541MB [19386/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 73308MB [148945/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA100 acd0: CDROM at ata1-slave using PIO4 ad0 is a standard 4-partition setup, but ad1 is not yet recognized When I go to /stand/sysinstall for fdisk on ad1, I get: "WARNING: A geometry of 148945/16/63 for ad1 is incorrect. etc" but full-screen fdisk and disklabel work ok. I leave sysintall, and try mfb1# fdisk -BI ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found I´m not on site to play with it, but somebody is. What do I tell the person to do? is the 73 gb useable? swap out the disk for an 8 gb like ad0 ? 2. I´m setting up a couple of outbound, high-volume mail gateways that need some kind fairly quick failover when their primary DNS is down, to use another DNS. The behavior available in some resolvers seems sufficient. I´ve seen resolv.conf options of such as attempts:4 and timeout:2 in the DNS & BIND book, etc but these are not in the 4.6R man resolv.conf page. Is there any other way in FreeBSD to set these resolver params? thanks Len http://MenAndMice.com/DNS-training http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND 8.2.4 for NT4 & W2K http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
