I have reluctantly canceled the RAID array on Inspiron 531s recently because I unfortunately had no option but to realize the latest updates
for Fedora 13, such as the alternation of Dracut, mapping, and mdraid instead of dmraid, didn't recognize NVIDIA RAID array. It however seemed
I had also better upgrade from FreeBSD 7.1 or the older version, which had been already installed on the RAID drive, to the latest FreeBSD 8.1 on the non-RAID drive at the same time if I was going to do it. That is why I came to grips with the installation of FreeBSD 8.1 several times.
First the X server failed to start after installing FreeBSD 8.1 on the machine with NVIDIA video card. Therefore I previously downloaded NVIDIA-
FreeBSD-x86_64-256.44.tar.gz in a FAT32 partition and installed the driver in the CUI editor. The command lines are given below.
# tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-256.44.tar.gz
# cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-256.44
# make install clean
# nvidia-xconfig
Second I couldn't see the CUPS interface at http://
localhost:631/. Therefore I reinstalled cups-base and cups-client and installed cups-image from ports.
After that I edited cupsd.conf in /usr/local/etc/cups to set the authentication. The command lines are given below.
# cd /usr/ports/print/cups-base
# make deinstall && make install clean
# cd ../cups-client
# make deinstall && make install clean
# cd ../cups-image && make install clean
Third I tried to install openoffice.org-3 from ports and the size of /usr was 23GB. It actually was not little enough. To put it concretely, it was enough to make openoffice.org-3 but not enough to install openoffice.org-3. Therefore I temporarily moved some directories into the home directory and made room for installing openoffice.org-3 in /usr. The size of them was about 1.2GB, so the size of /usr, which was
about 24GB, might be enough to install openoffice.org-3.
Finally I am happy to assist you in solving these various problems on FreeBSD 8.1 amd64.
