Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
I'm trying to ignore this thread, but as an infrequent installer, I think it would be nice for those of us with limited experience to have a context sensitive help to explain the various install options, such as: what it is/does, how much disk space, how many/which dependancies, estimated install time, etc. I don't care if its TUI or GUI - just something to help me make the various selections at install time.

PAM/ldap_pam/NFSv4: How let users of a speicific group log into a specific box?
Hello. I run into a specific problem and for several months of experiments I havn't found a solution, yet. This is what I wish to get and need: A simple capability of selecting users into a specific group. Members of such a group should then log into a set of specific hosts. Infrastructure is FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 and some 7.2-STABLE boxes (acting as server) as well as OpenLDAP backend. Authentication on boxes is done via PAM/ldap_pam. But it is on FreeBSD's side a vanilla configuration, not very sophisticated. Users autheticate and authorize against an OpenLDAP server residing on another box. pam_ldap in its most recent ports-version offers, as the manpage claims, a facility enabling group logins (resides in /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf): # Group to enforce membership of pam_groupdn cn=mygroup,ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=org?sub # Group member attribute #pam_member_attribute uniqueMember pam_member_attribute memberUid Within the DIT of the OpenLDAP server ou=groups exists and contains also a group called 'mygroup' with a multi-value attribute (as required), in this case memberUid. Using pam_ldap.so as a 'required' module is not appreciated, so there seems a problem to me with the stack order - should say: I need a LDAP solution. pam_group doesn't work for me: authrequired/requisite pam_group.sono_warn group=mygroup Can anybody help or do have hints?

The returning member, even if it is the first drive, is always re-synced with the data from the other drive and no data is lost. And yes, it's definitely a critical bug.

Re: Partitioning for multiple systems
On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 11:45:07AM -0700, Michael David Crawford wrote: I have a machine I plan to use solely for testing. I have FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT on it right now, and would like to add FreeBSD 7.2-RC2 as well as CentOS 5.3 Linux. Presently I have three Master Boot Record primary partitions - slices in the FreeBSD parlance, if I understand correctly: - A Linux slice to be used for CentOS' /boot - A BSD slice subdivided into partitions that hold 8.0-CURRENT - A big FAT slice (so to speak) meant to be split up for 7.2 and CentOS A PC-style Master Boot Record can hold a maximum of four primary partitions, or it can hold three primaries and a single extended partition that is subdivided into logical partitions. The geometries of the logical partitions aren't given in the MBR, but exist as a linked list. I *should* be able to split that FAT slice up into a primary for 7.2 and an extended partition that will hold CentOS' other partitions; however: In Googling about this, I have read some dire warnings about FreeBSD being unable to understand logical partitions; apparently installing FreeBSD *before* an extended partition will result in all your logicals getting trashed. One is advised to put all the FreeBSD MBR partitions *after* the extended partition. Is that the case? Have you any advice for me? FreeBSD is not happy with MS 'extended partitions'. But, I don't really see your problem. You are not using Microsloth for anything. Create your Lunix slice first, then one for FreeBSD 7.2 and finally one for FreeBSD 8.0. You still logically have one left for something but it doesn't seem to be needed and neither does a 'logical partition'. Note that FreeBSD will not run from the FAT slice as far as I know. FreeBSD might be able to mount the CENTOS slice stuff if you use the right type of mount. I don't know about mounting Lunix from FreeBSD. But, you can't do it the other way (eg mount a FreeBSD type filesystem from Lunix - though maybe, I have never tried it) One more thing: if it's possible, I'd like for the /home directory to be shared between both of my FreeBSD installations. In a normal installation, there is a real /usr/home directory, with /home being a symbolic link. If I'm running FreeBSD out of one MBR partition (or slice), can I mount a directory that's in a different one? MBR has nothing to do with the filesystem type. MBR is just a [usually] one block/sector of code that makes a few choices and then reads in a subsequent, OS-specific block of code to begin the actual boot process.MS MBRs are not very friendly. The FreeBSD MBR will boot any OS that follows the official standard for boot code location. Linux wants you to use some fancier, non-standard (but by now, pretty much usable everywhere) MBRs such as Grub. They all do essentially the same thing - ask you which block you want to boot and then go load it in and transfer over control to it. Generally they don't care what is in the block but MS still goes out of its way to pretend that the rest of the world does not exist so it won't play with others, though I have heard rumors that the newest stuff takes a somewhat broader outlook. From FreeBSD you can mount other types of filesystems such as MS by using the correct mount types. For example, if you want to mount an MS FAT or FAT32, you use an 'msdosfs' type in your fstab file or mount_msdosfs(8) utility to do the mount. Do some studying to see if you can mount any Lunxi type filesystem from FreeBSD. When you create a new __non-root__ account, you can put the home directory anywhere the system can reliably read and write. DO NOT put the home directory for a root account outside of the root (/) filesystem. Since both FreeBSD 7.xx and 8.xx are going to be UFS type file systems, you could put them both in your /etc/fstab for each and pick a single partition for (non root) home directories. I don't know if that is a good idea, but it should work OK. jerry Thanks for your help! Mike -- Michael David Crawford m...@prgmr.com prgmr.com - We Don't Assume You Are Stupid.

quick vfs tuning
Hi, I'm running a RAID1 setup with gmirror and geli (AES-128) on top of that. While searching for ways to improve read performance, i found some posts (on kerneltrap i think) about vfs.max_read. The author suggested that increasing the default value of 8 to 16 resulted in increased read speed, and that increasing it further resulted in no noticeable performance gain. Results are below. Starting with vfs.read_max=32: triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 176.825898 secs (20100492 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=64 vfs.read_max: 32 - 64 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 162.943189 secs (21813048 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=128 vfs.read_max: 64 - 128 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 149.313994 secs (23804116 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=256 vfs.read_max: 128 - 256 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 150.466241 secs (23621828 bytes/sec) Here is seems to have hit a wall. Going a bit down to 192 results in almost exactly the same numbers, so the best value seems to be 128. As i read, vfs.read_max means 'cluster read-ahead max block count'. Does it read ahead the stuff into some memory? If so, can that memory size be increased via sysctl? Does the improvement in performance have to do with my particular setup (gmirror+geli)? I thought i'd share the results and maybe get a discussion going in this direction. Test was done on a pair of SATA300 HDs spinning at 7200rmp (which are seen as SATA150 by the OS for some reason; i couldn't fix it from the BIOS, so it must be the mobo), and 7.1-RELEASE, i386. -- Regards, Ghirai. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

bsnmpd vs net-snmp
Hello all, I'm setting up a firewall and would like to monitor certain system parameters like network, cpu, and memory usage. SNMP is an obvious choice to do the monitoring and I'm planning to set up rrdtool to generate graphs of captured data. The question is what SNMP agent to use. I found net-snmp and bsnmpd (which is included in the base system). Has anyone here used both implementations, and if so, what are the basic differences?

It mostly boils down to setting up the necessary disk space somewhere locally, installing one of the CVSup ports and configuring a `supfile' like this: *default host=CHANGE_THIS.freebsd.org *default base=/path/to/local/cvs/mirror *default prefix=/path/to/local/cvs/mirror *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress cvs-all Yo should change `CHANGE_THIS' with the hostname of a CVSup mirror (a full list can be found in the Handbook), and then point the local CVS mirror directory from `/path/to/local/cvs/mirror' to the place you will keep the mirror. To pull over the CVS mirror files, you can then run: # cvsup -g -L 2 supfile Note that this will take quite some time if you are starting from an empty mirror, and it may be a good idea to rerun cvsup 1-2 times after it's done, to make sure you have the latest changes -- including any changes that were committed between the time you started mirroring and the time the first run was done. FYI, my local copy of the repository uses around 4 GB today, so you should plan to keep the mirror on a disk with at least this amount of space (a few extra GB won't hurt either): # du -sh /home/ncvs 4.0G/home/ncvs # We also have a Subversion repository now, that you can use to grab commit information.

The conversion from CVS to Subversion was ``good enough'' from what I see in the svn commit logs.

Hello, Top doesn't show *all* processes. It shows the processes using the most cpu (by default. You can also display by io.) So, if mysqld isn't using a lot of cpu, it's not going to show up in the list. You might be able to force it to show up by giving top a number (of processes you want to see) that includes enough that mysqld will show up. Thank you Paul! Yes, I know that.

I know it is a permanent issue, because I even restarted the mysql server thinking that something is wrong that it is not being shown in top but the history repeated itself.

And what is wrong with some eye candy ? Eye candy is wrong exactly when it reduces functionality (instead of adding it). For example, if you need more time for an installation, require a mouse, or can't use your Braille readout anymore - then it's wrong- Or better: It's useless. But why should a GUI be less functional ? I don't see why ! Guys, please, wake up, we don't live in the 70's anymore ! That's why FreeBSD is not following strange MICROS~1 concepts of how to do several things. :-) I'm using pc-bsd. Why ? Cause of the easy and nice installer. It's as simple as that. You value an operating system by how the installer LOOKS like? I'm sure you're kidding. :-) Honestly: People can't be that stupid. Oh wait... okay, I didn't say anything. :-) The point is - what I would have better said instead of the previous two paragraphs - a text mode installer LOOKS more serious. Serious biznis, you know? Servers, and workstations, and operating system. For work to be done. Lots of work. Ask people who work as admins, who keep mailservers running, webservers, application servers. Do they choose the OS by the amount of eye candy in the INSTALLER? I'm sure they don't. I'm not a sysadmin, indeed. But it should surprise me a lot if a admin who has to, as you say yourself, keep every server running, need to (re)install a lot of servers on a regular basis. Then there is something seriously wrong. It was my believe that a server needs to be kept running, not being reinstalled twice a week (with or without a GUI installer). And so a desktop user has to do it with the prehistoric sysinstall... And I don't value an OS by its installer, but as a desktop user I think I have already done a bit of (re)installations, be it debian, ubuntu, suse, or Micros~1 in different flavors. And before anyone says do it yourself, get a sponsor or something down those lines : if it is all about choice, why not give the people/user the choice ? Now I don't have any choice : sysinstall or pc-bsd... Or DesktopBSD. :-) I'm for both : text and graphical :-) As I explained in an earlier post: If the GUI installer is (a) not the only way, (b) not an auto-default, (c) does work well enough even on older hardware and (d) doesn't make things more complicated, I wouldn't have any problem with it, I would even use it! Nice to hear it :-) Me too ! But please note that many users of FreeBSD are scared by the way other GUI driven installers work. Much time is needed to do an installation, and there's more emphasize put on how things look instead of how they work. So I can understand everyone who says: When FreeBSD gets a crappy installerjust like 'Windows' and some Linusi, then I would look around for another OS that fits my needs. A pc-bsd is installed in what, 5 or 6 clics (if it is that much). Same for windows or ubuntu. Text based installation takes more time i think. Finetuning and installing programs afterwards takes more time, but that is the same for all those OS'es, no ?

Shure, it looks nice, easy, modern and more accessable (examples: Mac OS X, Vista), but on the other hand, for me FreeBSD never was intended to be fancy, but to be functional. What is wrong with fancy functional ? The two can go together I think. For you it may not be, but I would like it to be for me. And as to now, I don't have any choice : there is no fancy, easy, nice, modern and accessable installer. The text mode installer: - works on every PC, every graphics card, every screen, with serial console, with ssh, with screenreader - is easy enough for people who are able to use it after the installation - doesn't need a mouse to be usable So why don't use a text mode for server and a GUI for desktop ? FreeBSD isn't Linux/OSX/Windows, FreeBSD is not for users who want eyecandy, FreeBSD is for professinals who want perfectly working systems, who know how to edit .conf-files, which packages the need and so on. (at least I think so) Oh so all those desktopusers with Gnome/KDE/... will gladly hear this ! As a desktopuser I can't be a professional who wants a perfectly working system ? Thanks. IMHO, the biggest problem with graphical installers is that they just don't work for everyone. For example, my last attempts to install Ubuntu Linux stopped when the installer didn't work with my graphics card or just choosed a mode my TFT didn't support. This was such a bad experience, I didn't wanted to try it anymore. Well, my first install of windows/debian/freebsd/... didn't work out as it was supposed to be either. So ? Even with pc-bsd not all my hardware is recognized now.

Chicken and egg
I've been having trouble with X11 ports, so I deleted all my packages and tried to install xorg fresh. xorg port failed trying to build cairo, cairo failed because it couldn't build libdrm, libdrm failed because cairo's headers weren't installed. So in summary, I can't install cairo because it wants to build libdrm, which won't build/install because it wants cairo. And I tried to install packages or the X11 distro from the ftp site and also from my 7.2 RC-1 media. I tried setting the Options for any as well as RELEASE_7_2_0, to no avail. My system is up and running multi-user, so sysinstall failed to install any packages. I built cairo with make -k install, so it would brute force past the error, and after that I built libdrm and cairo again with portupgrade -fr libdrm cairo. -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'll probably (try to) set up a local CVS repo and source it from there and see where that gets me. My CVS-fu is weak so I'm still open to pointers. There are online instructions for mirroring a full CVS copy, so it should be relatively easy to do that. It mostly boils down to setting up the necessary disk space somewhere locally, installing one of the CVSup ports and configuring a `supfile' like this: *default host=CHANGE_THIS.freebsd.org *default base=/path/to/local/cvs/mirror *default prefix=/path/to/local/cvs/mirror *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress cvs-all Thanks! I had forgotten about the cvs-all target. [additional helpful info snipped] We also have a Subversion repository now, that you can use to grab commit information. It takes slightly more disk space than the CVS repository, but subversion can export XML formatted commit logs, which may be slightly more useful if you plan to automate parts of the parsing and info-gathering. Yes, I'll definitely be automating the parsing, etc. Is it safe to assume that the cvs2svn migration went successfully? XML logs do sound appealing and aggregated (same time, multiple files) commits would be more useful than per-file. Can I just check everything out from svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/? The conversion from CVS to Subversion was ``good enough'' from what I see in the svn commit logs. So it may be a good idea to use `svnsync' to mirror the /base/ repository locally and take it from there. I installed the subversion-freebsd port and pulled in src from head. This lets me do e.g. svn log -g --xml locally and get an XML list of commits along the main (head/current) development line going back to 1993. For files changed with each revision I can do svn diff -c NUM --summarize. Is there a way to get this information integrated with the svn log output short of running the command for each revision in the log output? The instructions for mirroring the Subversion repository are a bit more involved, but if you decide to go that way, let me know and I will write a short description of how to do it. I checked out base/head and am in the process of checking out base/stable so I can get commit data from -STABLE branches as well. (I'll probably figure out when each branch (in CVS terms) was created and then use svn log to just get commits after that date for each branch). I don't know that I need to mirror the whole SVN repository but at this point I am planning on going the SVN route so if you have additional tips they would be appreciated. Thanks!

So my idea would be... no, my further questions would be: 1. Can FreeBSD mount -o rw a file system that is usable on Linux, maybe ext2? If yes, use this file system type for the partition that is /home then. 2. Can Linux mount -o rw a file system that is usable on FreeBSD, maybe UFS? If yes, use this file system type for the partition that is /home then. Because the /home partition is not intended to be booted from, it should be possible to add it. Create your Lunix slice first, then one for FreeBSD 7.2 and finally one for FreeBSD 8.0. You still logically have one left for something but it doesn't seem to be needed and neither does a 'logical partition'. Hasn't the fact that Linux needs two primary partitions (one for itself, one for its boot loader) mentioned? FreeBSD might be able to mount the CENTOS slice stuff if you use the right type of mount. I don't know about mounting Lunix from FreeBSD. But, you can't do it the other way (eg mount a FreeBSD type filesystem from Lunix - though maybe, I have never tried it) That would be the idea. From FreeBSD you can mount other types of filesystems such as MS by using the correct mount types. For example, if you want to mount an MS FAT or FAT32, you use an 'msdosfs' type in your fstab file or mount_msdosfs(8) utility to do the mount. Do some studying to see if you can mount any Lunxi type filesystem from FreeBSD. Exactly. Or, if not, maybe it works vice-versa: mounting a FreeBSD partition (within a slice, a primary partition) from within this Linux. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

As I explained in an earlier post: If the GUI installer is (a) not the only way, (b) not an auto-default, (c) does work well enough even on older hardware and (d) doesn't make things more complicated, I wouldn't have any problem with it, I would even use it! Nice to hear it :-) Me too ! I have some experience with PC-BSD and DesktopBSD. Their installers behave the way MICROS~1 users would expect them to work, and I think most Linusi (with GUI installers) do work the same way. A pc-bsd is installed in what, 5 or 6 clics (if it is that much). Same for windows [...] Hahaha! :-) [...] or ubuntu. Text based installation takes more time i think. Finetuning and installing programs afterwards takes more time, but that is the same for all those OS'es, no ? No. The installer of FreeBSD lets you do much more than those 5 click installers. This is neccessary because FreeBSD is, as I already mentioned, a multi-purpose OS that can be run on a server, a desktop, or a mixed form. Because there are not hundreds of different distributions aiming at different groups of users, the installer has to offer everything that is needed - by the desktop user and by the server admin. So, of couse, yes, things are more detailed, more complex. But if you're intending to run FreeBSD anyway, that isn't a problem. Maybe a FreeBSD installer could be implemented with 5 times pressing the ENTER key, but it would imply that there are many decisions to be taken away from the user and substituted by default values, such as: - wipe the entire disk - create one slice with one / partition - put everything into the partition - install everything from the CD - install all services - start all services You know where this is going... So I think we will agree to disagree... And this is my receipt for your receipt. :-) -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

For you it may not be, but I would like it to be for me. And as to now, I don't have any choice : there is no fancy, easy, nice, modern and accessable installer. You're mixing terminology again. Modern... okay, we already stated that this is depending on defintion. Accessible... how accessible is a GUI installer via a serial line or by a blind user? So why don't use a text mode for server and a GUI for desktop ? Because FreeBSD is for both servers and desktops and mixed forms, and you cannot determine from the hardware present what form the user wants to install, or where the form will develop into. That's why a choice at a very early stage of the installation would be needed, and its default should be fail-safe, read: text mode is default, GUI when ordered. Oh so all those desktopusers with Gnome/KDE/... will gladly hear this ! As a desktopuser I can't be a professional who wants a perfectly working system ? Thanks. Terminology again. What do you understand by professional? But let this not be our topic. The point is that many ways of operating and administrating a system highly depend on the knowledge, the experience and the intelligency of the user, as well as on his attitude towards learning things. PC-BSD and DesktopBSD to the right thing for those lazy guys: Most things are preconfigured and work out of the box, and when you need configuration changes, there are GUI tools for it. As long as you're fine with this setting, you won't have ANY problem. Even with pc-bsd not all my hardware is recognized now. That's not PC-BSD's fault. But if you want something that works for everyone, I don't think that *bsd or linux is something for you. There is NO thing that works for everyone, a one size fits all egg-laying wool milk sow; in Germany, we call this eierlegende Wollmilchsau, a device (or system) that does everything under any circumstances, for everyone. People are different, that's why there are many ways to go for them to choose from. In the past, I chose DOS for some things, OS/ES for others, and later on, Linux; today, FreeBSD is my choice. I can't tell what I will use in the future, because I don't know my requirements of tomorrow. Things may change. FreeBSD is an operating system that has so much potential, and can be used in many different fields of work (and play, and entertainment, and learning). One of the reasons it's so versatile is the fact that it runs on minimum conditions, still offering the whole power. You run the same OS on a 150 MHz P1 as you run on a 5 million GHz Uber-server.

That is especially true if I try to add some packages at install time. I agree with this. That's why I always included a F1 Help in my paintings of how an improvement of the text mode installer (and a possible GUI installer) should go. Another idea would be to add something of value to the help text. Let it be not only an explaination, but a suggestion, just like if you have ... then consider using ...; if you want to use ..., then you better set ... and An addition that comes to my mind right now would be a kind of autodetection of existing operating systems on the disk, which obsoletes (or easyfies) the boot manager dialog. For example, if FreeBSD is the only OS, the default choice would surely be install FreeBSD's MBR, so the only OS will boot. If there are other OSes, the boot manager could be suggested. This idea continues into a autodetect for partition editor, which could look like this: automount Device Mountpoint No R/O R/W Explaination /dev/ad0s1a / [ ] [ ] [x] FreeBSD's root /dev/ad0s1d /tmp[ ] [ ] [x] Temporary files /dev/ad0s1e /var[ ] [ ] [x] Stuff /dev/ad0s1f /usr[ ] [ ] [x] Much more stuff /dev/ad0s1g /home [ ] [ ] [x] Your stuff other than FreeBSD --- /dev/ad2s1 /blabla [ ] [x] [ ] Linux stuff /dev/ad2s2 /foobar [x] [ ] [ ] FAT32 I've excluded options like format yes/no and file system type for easyfication. :-) The idea would be that /etc/fstab would be populated with everything that exist, keeping the default that noauto is chosen, and -o ro, unless the user specifies something else on his own risk. And again, a multi-lingual installer is an idea. In fact, it's NOT an idea, because - and I may speak only based on my experiences in my home country - those who install FreeBSD are familiar with the english language, and those who are not familiar with the english language wouldn't even know FreeBSD. :-) But, I agree that we must not give up on a 'text based' installer that is the most generally usable, even if some other options might be made available.The text based installer could also be massaged a bit to make it a little easier to understand as well, without losing its functionality.

But, I don't really see your problem. You are not using Microsloth for anything. That's why I'm not sure why FAT has been mentioned. As far as The FAT (more likely FAT32) can be the filesystem type that each of the OSen can read/write.I occasionally make one for scratch space that more than one OS on a machine can access. I understood, the disk should have three operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD 7, FreeBSD 8) and a partition where all these systems can have a shared mount point for /home. So my idea would be... no, my further questions would be: 1. Can FreeBSD mount -o rw a file system that is usable on Linux, maybe ext2? If yes, use this file system type for the partition that is /home then. 2. Can Linux mount -o rw a file system that is usable on FreeBSD, maybe UFS? If yes, use this file system type for the partition that is /home then. Because the /home partition is not intended to be booted from, it should be possible to add it. Create your Lunix slice first, then one for FreeBSD 7.2 and finally one for FreeBSD 8.0. You still logically have one left for something but it doesn't seem to be needed and neither does a 'logical partition'. Hasn't the fact that Linux needs two primary partitions (one for itself, one for its boot loader) mentioned? I thought that the fancy MBR went in the extra track space beyond that official single sector that almost no one actually uses any more. I haven't heard of that.The RHEL and SUSE installs I did recently did not look like they were using two primaries.But I didn't make a point of looking for that, so I am not sure. jerry FreeBSD might be able to mount the CENTOS slice stuff if you use the right type of mount. I don't know about mounting Lunix from FreeBSD. But, you can't do it the other way (eg mount a FreeBSD type filesystem from Lunix - though maybe, I have never tried it) That would be the idea. From FreeBSD you can mount other types of filesystems such as MS by using the correct mount types. For example, if you want to mount an MS FAT or FAT32, you use an 'msdosfs' type in your fstab file or mount_msdosfs(8) utility to do the mount. Do some studying to see if you can mount any Lunxi type filesystem from FreeBSD. Exactly. Or, if not, maybe it works vice-versa: mounting a FreeBSD partition (within a slice, a primary partition) from within this Linux. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
switch keyboards
Can't find anything on setting up a correct fr_CA keyboard or keymapping or switching from en_US --- fr_CA for FreeBSD 7.1 and xorg. What I have found only set up an incorrect french-someting-or-other keyboard which almost prevented me from logging in because of a missing character in the mapping. Somebody out there is permanently out to lunch. The true fr_CA keyboard is an elegant way of using both English and French characters on one keyboard. It works beautifully on an XP.

Going a bit down to 192 results in almost exactly the same numbers, so the best value seems to be 128. As i read, vfs.read_max means 'cluster read-ahead max block count'. Does it read ahead the stuff into some memory? If so, can that memory size be increased via sysctl? IIRC, if it gets a read request, it reads vfs.read_max extra clusters into the vfs cache, to improve subsequent reads. This won't do much if you're reading a lot of small files scattered around the disk. Does the improvement in performance have to do with my particular setup (gmirror+geli)? In my experience, gmirror is slow (see below). If you have multiple cores, geli isn't much of an issue. On a single-core machine it can become a bottleneck. I thought i'd share the results and maybe get a discussion going in this direction. Test was done on a pair of SATA300 HDs spinning at 7200rmp (which are seen as SATA150 by the OS for some reason; i couldn't fix it from the BIOS, so it must be the mobo), and 7.1-RELEASE, i386. It doesn't matter much if your disk is seen as SATA 1.5 Gbit/s or 3 Gbit/s.

I find nothing about linprocfs in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html I also checked (from that book chapter 10.2) # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 17 0x8010 ac7708 kernel 21 0xb08e 18aealinux.ko 31 0xb09cb000 496 star_saver.ko Also, I have a another PC with FreeBSD7 (i386) with Acrobat Reader 7.0 (/usr/local/bin/acroread) which works and there I do not not have a linprocfs ... in a df output...
