Porting from linux to FreeBSD (procfs question)
Hi all, First of all, Happy New Year. I have a question about porting an application from Linux to FreeBSD. The application I want to port, makes an extensive use of the procfs in Linux. It gathers a lot of information from those files (cpuinfo, meminfo, devices, filesystems, modules, etc...) As I know, FreeBSD has some kind of procfs but more limited in terms of information. My questions is how should I proceed now? I see two options. 1 - Try to rely the porting on the compatibility procfs from FreeBSD 2 - Do the things in a completely different way (which one is this? Invoking sysctl system call?) I would like to know from you which one is the best approach.

Yes, I tried searching the archives and found nothing. I used FreeBSD back in 2000 for a few firewalls, but due to certain influences I switched to Linux after a couple of years. I'm interested in getting back to the BSD's but have just one big concern. As most users Unix and it's clones, I prefer the free as in beer licensing model, but want to know that someone else is paying the big bills. In short, here's my question: Canonical, RedHat, IBM, Novell, and a slew of others are funding / supporting Linux development and pushing some of that development into the free community, so that all can benefit from full-time developers and the money that supports them. I've seen where Cisco and Juniper are using FreeBSD, and assuming there are other big names, do they directly fund or contribute to the community? Gary, FreeBSD USED TO HAVE a single large corporate sponsor. Walnut Creek. Well, while the upside of this is that you have a pot of money that can be used to fund advertising ventures, fund a position to act as the public face of the project, etc. the downside is that this ties the project to the fortunes of that big money pot. When Walnut Creek went downhill it caused a LOT of people who were using FreeBSD very much consternation. This is why today the project basically operates as a completely distributed project. You might as well ask who the corporate sponsor of the Gnutella network is. Nobody, and Everybody. Yet, that network carries billions of bytes of pirat... I mean, valuable video data, and is dependended on by many bootleggers.. I mean enterprenuers. ;-) People look at Linux and say how great it is that Linux has RedHat to make Linux look legitimate to the corporate world. They forget that as RedHat is a corporation, it is under a mandate to make a profit every year. Well, what happens if the day ever comes that RedHat starts losing money? Don't you think that people will suddenly start thinking that Linux has run out of steam? I do. There is no single corporation that is ever guarenteed to exist forever, last forever, and remain profitable forever. History is littered with large, rich companies that people once upon a time thought would never ever go out of business - yet they did anyway. By contrast, MOVEMENTS in history NEVER run out of steam. There are still, today, billions of people dumping billions of dollars every year into the Catholic Church - despite it's sordid history and current coverups of pedophiles - and that particular religious movement has been around more than 2000 years. We want to keep FreeBSD operating as a movement. As long as 1 person still believes and maintains it, it won't die. No matter how profitable or unprofitable it is to run. Ted Thank you all for the responses. I've tried to track down ways to contribute funds, as my programming skills are just above that of an intoxicated monkey. I found the FreeBSD foundation, which seems like the best place to start. I can't find, however, that any book, T-Shirt, or CD purchase from any vendor (including BSDmall) will send money back to the project. I understand there is value in evangelism from promoting FreeBSD via T-Shrits, stickers etc., as well as showing the profitability of books on BSD related topics to publishers (like No Starch). Have I missed an avenue of getting monetary support to FreeBSD? Thanks again.

The system uses swap space for both swap and paging. The traditional reason for making swap be 2X ram is that the system uses swap for taking a crash dump and that would be enough to handle all of ram for tracing. You can get by with less. If you are not using your laptop for development and if you are not using it as a server with the usual large proliferation of processes being forked off for everything, then having less swap may well be reasonable.

mounting geom partition
Quite some time ago I setup a machine with a couple of 250GB disks in that were mirrored using geom, although I can't remember if I mounted it as 1x 250GB partition or several smaller ones.

Before I plug it in and accidentally write over the partition table or something, I just wanted to check with someone that what I'm thinking is about right. Having been going over the documentation again and from what I remember the partition table should still be there (fdisk should tell me this) and I should, in theory, be able to simply mount the partition(s) as regular filesystem(s), is this correct?

Migrate FreeBSD 7.0RC1 from i386 to amd64
Hi folks, yesterday morning my server at home broke down. It crashed but was unable to reboot. I blamed either one of my DIMMs or the memory banks on the mainboard. I removed one DIMM, powered up the machine and the mainboard started to die a most smelly death. I didn't needed long to come to conclusion that this would be the right time to switch to amd64. My old machine was an AthlonXP at 1500MHz running FreeBSD7.0RC1 with a ZFS pool doing DNS, DHCP, NFS, serving websites with Apache, Mail. As you can see there are quite some services/ports installed and configured. I searched the net for some information on migrating from i386 to amd64. I'd like to build a new kernel for amd64, reboot. Do a buildworld and installworld and a portupgrade -afk --batch afterwards. The articles I found weren't that optimistic but range from there is way, but you certainly don't want to do that up to reinstall, everything else is not supported. But this was for older FreeBSD versions such as 5.3 and I wonder if something changed with 6.x or newer. I have a new SATA based boot disk I could install too (as described above, for example). This means that I still have the old P-ATA boot device at hand. Any suggestions, please?

install FreeBSD from isos on USB hard-drive partition
Dear FreeBSD users, We all know that installing any OS from DVD isos and/or CD isos takes time. Especially FreeBSD still doesn't provide even a DVD iso and it is hard to change CDs during the installation. Even if a DVD iso is provided it takes time to install. I was wondering if anyone of you ever managed to write somehow the isos on a USB hard-disk or USB-flash partition and perform the installation from there. Be careful, I am not saying to install FreeBSD on a USB drive, I am asking if it is possible to transfer somehow the isos on the USB hard-drive or USB-flash drive and then boot from it as if I was booting from the FreeBSD CD iso and perform the installation of FreeBSD on my hard disk. I hope that if this is achieved somehow, the installation will spead up significantly. So is it possible? Best, Archwn. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

How to patch the kernel?
I don't have much experience patching anything, really. I was told by the port security/ipsec-tools to patch the kernel if i wanted to use nat-transversals. they provide me with http://vanhu.free.fr/FreeBSD/patch-natt-freebsd6-2007-05-31.diff, but I am now sure how to patch up the kernel so I can do a buildworld. Any help would be much appreciated. I took a quick read over the patch manpage, but simply 'patch file' in /usr/src askes me what file to patch...

Re: Finally, Flash seems to be working for Me :)
Why not just use gnash to watch youtube videos? It works fine for me, with my user account. However, if I use Firefox+gnash as root, it makes my system unstable, I lose /dev/null, and the system gets weird. I guess gnash will kill your system if you run it as root.

mount vs mount_msdosfs - invalid file mode

I can mount it properly with mount_msdosfs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt]# mount_msdosfs -m 666 -M 777 /dev/ad3s1 /mnt/drive But I'm not sure how to get mount to call mount_msdosfs with the right params: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt]# mount -t msdosfs -v -o '-m 666 -M 777' /dev/ad3s1 /mnt/drive mount_msdosfs: invalid file mode: 666 -M 777 I've tried various combinations of quoting around the -m and -M params with no luck. The end result is that I need to work out what to put in /etc/fstab to achieve those mount permissions for that drive (and I'm guessing that getting mount to pass the right params across is a start).
