RE: Intel D510MO Mini-ITX Motherboard - Is anyone using FreeBSD on this?
closing out this thread I did go ahead and buy one of these boards and can now report that FreeBSD-8.0/i386 boots and runs on it with no apparent problems. A user in the forums reports similar success running 8.0/amd64. Extremely quiet and inexpensive board. At around $80, it is one-third the cost of the Supermicro boards. Not much use as a space heater, however; I've had it running for more than 24 hours, busily recompiling ports, and the heatsink is just barely warm to the touch. Next time I reboot it I'm going to plug it into my Kill-a-Watt meter to measure its power draw... Reports of successes with both adm64 andi386 versions of 8.0-RELEASE and Intel D510MO board have been showing up on a few different discussion forums now. I have to correct myself in regard to the Supermicro X7SPA-H board. The board seems to be roughly 2 times as expensive as the Intel D510MO (~75$ for the D150MO vs $150-170$ for the X7SPA-H). However, these prices seem to only be like that in the US. When looking at European prices, it seems that the D510MO board goes for about 75-80 euro and the X7SPA-H goes for about 190-230 euro, depending on country and reseller. So while the Supermicro board is roughly twice as expensive as the Intel board in the US, it's roughly 3 times as expensive if you are buying in Europe. I still ended up going with the X7SPA-H though (finally pulled the plug on ordering all the parts for a new system yesterday), mainly because it saves me the trouble of immideately having to hunt for an additional disk controller card: the D510MO has only 2 SATA ports and a PCI slot for expansion (and I have REALLY burned myself badly on the performance of PCI disk controller cards in the past), while the X7SPA-H comes with 6 native SATA ports on an ICH9R controller and has a 4xPCIE (in 16x physical form) for expansion. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ 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

Don't the Supermicro boards also have a better network chip than the Realtek one used on Intel's boards? FWIW, my Kill-a-Watt meter says the D510MO is drawing about 25W on average. That's for everything inside the case. If I'd gone with a single-core chip and a solid-state drive, I could probably get that down to about 20W.

ssh/sshd cores dump
Hi, I have this weird error since yesterday, one a system that used to be working nicely, suddenly: ssh cores dump when run as non priviledged user, works fine for root sshd aborts on signal 11 I tried to reinstall world, but it is the same. There is openssl installed from the ports on that machine (what port needed it?) as well as ldap/nss_ldap/open_ldap. It seems that the problem started when I tried to upgrade openldap libbrary (openldap-client port). I did a little bit more diging: ssh cores dump on a strcmp, from /lib/libc.so.6; I checked with a working machine, the library are the same; I checked ssh, they are the same. This is very puzzeling.

First of all you must decide you want your shaper rule act as allow

pipe pipe_nr
Pass packet to a dummynet(4) ``pipe'' (for bandwidth limitation,

Section for further information. The search terminates; however,
on exit from the pipe and if the sysctl(8) variable
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass is not set, the packet is passed again to
the firewall code starting from the next rule.
Second you do not need to put packet to pipe and to queue at same
time.
use pipe to just limit rate or use queue to limit rate and process
groups of packets in round robin manner. packets are grouped my mask
pipe is like this:

gam_server opening 4000 file descriptors

How do I create a 40x40 pixel monochrome mage for KMail?
I've noticed that several apps support images of the user, such as KMail, which supports a 40x40 pixel jpeg. I have a webcam, but it won't take a monochrome picture and it doesn't snapshot all the resolutions that it can display in. In particular, I tried the two lowest and the lowest, sqcif, isn't supported by my webcam and qsif seg faults. Those would have been 128x96 and 160x120. I figured that if I used the lowest resolution, I could crop out a 40x40 image. Kopete also supports a 200x200 pixel image, but I think it requires exactly 200x200, so 128x96 won't work. I thought that someone said they used kamera to take a snapshot with their webcam but Logitech webcams aren't listed.

You can use ImageMagick's convert command to scale the image, and turn it into monochrome; see man convert for -resize and -monochrome parameters. It's even possible to use Gimp for this task. :-) Kopete also supports a 200x200 pixel image, but I think it requires exactly 200x200, so 128x96 won't work. You can use ! with -resize to force a specific image size, even if it violates the source picture's aspect ratio (which -resize usually keeps).

Though I am not sure it does a good job??? 2) I do care about ungraceful power cycles and I've seen posts on the net, mentioning: More, If you interrupt power at arbitrary times while the device is writing, you can lose the integrity of the file system being modified. The loss is not limited to the 512 byte sector being modified, as it generally is with rotating disks; you can lose an entire erase block, maybe 64K at once. I guess the above comment renders the use of a journaling filesystem useless. But, doing some naive tests, power cycling the machine while writing and checksumming the data after fsck in preen mode, revealed no error. Thanks in advance for any insights, Nikos Soft Updates seem more appropriate for a 500MB CF drive than gjournal. AFAIK, they are a wash in terms of reliability, and gjournal needs to write all data twice meaning it's slower, and increases the wear on the drive. The big drawback to soft updates is the fsck times after an unclean shutdown which really shouldn't be an issue on a 500MB drive. fsck time in my case is not an issue. What concerns me mostly is a situation where user intervention is required. The CF filesystem will be used in a embedded system and should work without user intervention. I too feel that geom journaling is not the best solution for my needs, but softupdates need more attention than gjournal. Perhaps, I should wait for SUJ, which will be in the tree soon.

Printing via ulpt0 extremely slow
hello, world\n I have a system with a handful of kernels I chose from with grub. Recently compiled 8-STABLE systems show strange printing behaviour. While a one year old 8.0-CURRENT #0 r185532 has no problem printing to my HP Laserjet 2300d (via cups and USB/ulpt0), newer systems and even 9-CURRENT print extremely slow, on the order of 1 page every 6 minutes. The printer's Data LED blinks sometimes erratically, sometimes is on for a few seconds, with intermittent periods of 1Hz blinking (which is the expected normal behavior). So I'm wondering what causes this oddity. I've ruled out an issue with hald/dbus which recent systems use for xorg 7.4, by turning them off, rebooting and printing from the console--same slow printing.

Xorg Not Finding AGP Card
First time I installed FreeBSD (yes, there was a first time, I managed to hose the root account and had to start over again) I was asked something about whether or not my vid card was PCI or AGP. I answered AGP (as that is all I have that is halfway decent). I had Xorg up and running with minimum fuss (aside from it's choice of default wm even when I had wmaker already installed), I had no such prompt this time, which I didn't think of until now. I've got the latest Xorg installed from ports (I think it's 7.4_2). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html #Xorg -configure bunch of stuff about it failing No devices to configure. Configuration failed. Which is a pile of malarky, obviously. It also says it cannot find fbdev. hald and dbus are installed (although I get no such command when I try to start dbus from the cli (despite it being a requirement for like 50 million different packages (yes, I can nest parenthesis and use hyperbole all day long), half of which are probably installed by now)). I am /not/ reinstalling for this relatively minor problem, though my patience (mainly with my lack of apparent ability) is wearing thin. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

sendmail passing email to procmail. I only use this combination for
email from root's cron jobs. Right now emails to me from cron go to

This way gamin would not use file descriptors in expense of greater cpu usage. -- Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow. ___ 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
