5-star rating this gem right now.





This does, however, raise an interesting question.

Do you guys know of any company whose business model is freebsd support and 
engineering ?
Like, a la RHEL or SLES.

Excluding dedicated servers rental, since they don't actually provide the real 
support.

There a few indeed, but I am not quite sure how the mailing list 
mainteners would take it if we were to publicize them here.

The makers of PC-BSD offers this kind of service.

You seem to be under a misapprehension of what FreeBSD.org is.  We
aren't an Operating Systems vendor that offers a product for sale.
Instead, we are a group of like-minded people who like to produce and
give away, for free, an operating system.

There isn't really any overarching company that offers FreeBSD support
in the way you are looking for; instead, you should look for a
contractor -- the freebsd-j...@freebsd.org list might be a better place
to ask.

Considering the list of hardware you've supplied -- I can't see any
obvious problems with FreeBSD compatibility (but I could be wrong) --
however, that's the sort of thing that tends to get sorted out in the
first day or so of work.  Could you expand a bit more on what you want
in terms of FreeBSD support?  What the purpose of the system is to be,
what applications you want to run, expectations of what you want the
support person to provide?

Cheers,

Matthew

None that I know of.  People have tried to set up such things in the
past, and unfortunately have failed miserably.

The closest thing is iXSystems -- but their primary business is
supplying hardware, and while they do provide FreeBSD support, their
offering is US centric -- maybe even US-West Coast focussed.

Personally I think that having a commercial entity behind FreeBSD in
this way would be a good thing.  As a central provider that will help
promote FreeBSD commercial usage and fund a deal of development that
nowadays either doesn't happen, or that takes far too long, and provide
employment for FreeBSD developers and admins, it certainly has some
obvious benefits.

Setting up such an entity and making it work as a profitable concern is
an entirely different matter.  It's a competitive market out there, an a
new company would be going up against the likes of RedHat, Microsoft,
Oracle and other well established behemoths.  While I think that FreeBSD
and FreeBSD people have the technical quality to succeed,  what is
missing is the business capability -- people who can go out and sell
FreeBSD and that can attract investors and make them feel confident that
they can invest.  That's pretty rare to find in combination with the
sort of technical expertise the FreeBSD project (unconciously) selects for.

Matthew

That was the point of my question exactly.

Having worked in a banking environment in the past, I can tell that high
profile companies shun open source software UNLESS they can get a
support contract.

That's the reason Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Suse Linux Enterprise
Server are successful, not only do they provide the software, but they
also sell the support contract and guarantees that go with it.


Such a business model would imo do wonders to promote FreeBSD as a
professional OS.

Like I said though -- the problem is not with having such a business,
but with establishing the business.  Even a company like iXSystems that
has been active in this area for more than 10 years has not managed to
grow into a company with a visible global presence.

It is also the case that many large concerns simply will not deal with
small companies: unless your balance-sheet and turnover are big enough
you just don't get a look in on any contracts that may be available.
(Yes, this is a short-sighted approach, but you can appreciate the
reasoning behind it: small companies are much riskier propositions, and
do tend to go bust much more easily.)

If there's anybody out there that knows how to do this -- take an idea
and turn it into a working business -- but doesn't have the right idea
yet: look over here!

Cheers,

Matthew

 None that I know of.  People have tried to set up such things in the
 past, and unfortunately have failed miserably.
 
 The closest thing is iXSystems -- but their primary business is
 supplying hardware, and while they do provide FreeBSD support, their
 offering is US centric -- maybe even US-West Coast focussed.
 
 Personally I think that having a commercial entity behind FreeBSD in
 this way would be a good thing.  As a central provider that will help
 promote FreeBSD commercial usage and fund a deal of development that
 nowadays either doesn't happen, or that takes far too long, and provide
 employment for FreeBSD developers and admins, it certainly has some
 obvious benefits.
 

That was the point of my question exactly.

Having worked in a banking environment in the past, I can tell that high
profile companies shun open source software UNLESS they can get a
support contract.

That's the reason Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Suse Linux Enterprise
Server are successful, not only do they provide the software, but they

I can vouch for the fact that most of the big ISPs in South Africa (for
example) are big users of FreeBSD, but often end up purchasing RedHat or
SuSE support contracts to run vendor applications that are only supported
on an O.S with a clear line of enterprise vendor support ...








 Setting up such an entity and making it work as a profitable concern is
 an entirely different matter.  It's a competitive market out there, an a
 new company would be going up against the likes of RedHat, Microsoft,
 Oracle and other well established behemoths.  While I think that FreeBSD
 and FreeBSD people have the technical quality to succeed,  what is
 missing is the business capability -- people who can go out and sell
 FreeBSD and that can attract investors and make them feel confident that
 they can invest.  That's pretty rare to find in combination with the
 sort of technical expertise the FreeBSD project (unconciously) selects
for.

 I didn't know if the label would work in loader.conf.
 
 This solution suggested by Adam worked and seems much simpler than
 labeling the filesystem.
Depends on your needs. For me it was essential to have the same name of the 
disk no matter to what server I connect it. Label is working fine for me. 
Anyway I'm glad that you resolved your problem.
Have a nice day,

Help compiling ffmpeg from source

2012-02-29 Thread Andy Wodfer
I'm on FreeBSD 8.2 STABLE (AMD64).

I need to install the latest ffmpeg 0.10, but it fails when compiling. I
must admit I very rarely do it this way. Normally all software is installed
from ports, but I couldn't find this version of ffmpeg there.

Heres what I do:

./configure
gmake

and the problem looks like this:

Thats right, I remember this one- really simple but will get you every 
time! You need a newer gcc version (probably 4.6 will get you out of 
trouble if I remember correctly).


The port already sets this, it will only bite when you're working solo.

FreeBSD And ARM

Is there any intent/work underway to port FBSD to the Raspberry PI
ARM SBC?  At $35 this thing looks perfect for firewall/DNS/dhcp

+1 on the question as I'd like to use these devices for a variety of 
things (stratum 1 NTP server with a USB GPS attached, cheap and cheerful 
low power file/web server, media box maybe) and I'm far happier with 
FBSD than Linux.


For firewall use remember that the Model B has only one ether socket 
(and the Model A has none). Anyone know how good USB ether adapters are? 
I've never used one.


Of course, all this presumes you can actually get one, which has proved 
difficult - all 10,000 units in the first batch went in a few minutes. :-(

Please be so kind and also mention ufsid labels
(unique file system id) in that article.

Why?

Any partitions with ufsid labels can be mounted
 in this way, eliminating the need to create permanent
 labels for them manually, while still enjoying the
 benefits of device-name independent mounting.

... even though they are not normal words in a typical
reader's mind. :-)

They can be found explained in The FreeBSD Handbook at 20.7.1:

The label(s) should be accessible immediately, HOWEVER:
if the filesystem is mounted rw they'll be lost on reboot.  So
you probably want to do the labelling from single-user mode.

Re: hard disk behavior

2012-02-29 Thread Dmitry S. Kasterin
Hi!

2012/2/29, jb jb.1234a...@gmail.com:
 Hi,
 I very often hear this metallic (mechanical) clicking from my hard disk when
 it is active. I experience this behavior under FreeBSD only (not other OSs).
 Is there any way to figure out what it means ?

Some time ago I had a similar problem with an external WD Scorpio Blue disk.
As my point of view, it tends to park its heads too often, even under
heavy load,
so this results in a clicking.

As far as I remember, you can check Load_Cycle_Count from SMART output.
Take some measurements during minute or two. Rapid growth of this parameter
indicates a problem.

Likely the noise you are hearing roughly corresponds to Load_Cycle_Count.
Yours is quite high.  You may be able to use  sysutils/ataidle to disable
the parking like so:

ataidle -P 0 /dev/ada0

Not entirely sure if this works on the ada driver, so if not you might want
to ask on freebsd-stable@ or boot up in a Live CD of Linux and use the
tools there.

 To PXE-boot a VM guest, set networking to to Bridged and use the

 vboxnet kernel module has to be loaded.

 Please emphasize that the PCnet-PCI II card emulation is necessary.

They will be in /dev/gpt/.  Labels created with glabel are in

The label(s) should be accessible immediately, HOWEVER:
if the filesystem is mounted rw they'll be lost on reboot.  So
you probably want to do the labelling from single-user mode.


With filesystem labels, yes.  Should not be a problem with gpart labels 
on a partition.  (Just tried it.)___

 Thats right, I remember this one- really simple but will get you every
 time! You need a newer gcc version (probably 4.6 will get you out of
 trouble if I remember correctly).

 The port already sets this, it will only bite when you're working solo.


 Ok - thanks!

 I'm currently doing this:
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html

 I will report back on how it goes. :-)

 Cheers,
 Andy


So, I updated gmake to 3.82 from ports and installed gcc47 from ports. I
updated /etc/make.conf as described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html

However, I don't have a libmap file so I skipped this one and the other
ones below in the article.

Here's some outputs:

# gmake -v

How do I tell the system to use gcc47 instead of 4.2.2 (if that's what
causes the problems)?

Compiling ffmpeg from source still failes on the same line as in my orginal
post.

Thanks a lot for any pointers that will help me resolve this. :-)

   Thats right, I remember this one- really simple but will get you every

   trouble if I remember correctly).
  
   The port already sets this, it will only bite when you're working

   Ok - thanks!

OOps my bad, that's the gcc development version... stable is 4.6.2.. or
gcc46 ... didn't notice there was a port :)

Thats right, I remember this one- really simple but will get you
 every
time! You need a newer gcc version (probably 4.6 will get you out
 of
trouble if I remember correctly).
   
The port already sets this, it will only bite when you're working
  solo.
   
   
Ok - thanks!
   
I'm currently doing this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html
   
I will report back on how it goes. :-)
   
Cheers,
Andy
   
  
   So, I updated gmake to 3.82 from ports and installed gcc47 from
 ports. I
   updated /etc/make.conf as described here:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html
  
   However, I don't have a libmap file so I skipped this one and the
 other
   ones below in the article.
  
   Here's some outputs:
  
   # gmake -v

   Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler
   Thread model: posix
   gcc version 4.2.2 20070831 prerelease [FreeBSD]
  
   How do I tell the system to use gcc47 instead of 4.2.2 (if that's
 what
   causes the problems)?
  
   Compiling ffmpeg from source still failes on the same line as in my
  orginal
   post.
  
   Thanks a lot for any pointers that will help me resolve this. :-)
  
   All the best,
   Andy

 Yes, gcc47 was out a few days ago.

 So, I'm making some progress.

 I now export CC=gcc47

 and by adding this ./configure --extra-cflags=-DBROKEN_RELOCATIONS (what
 does this mean/do???)

 I'm able to get past the h264 compile fail.

 However, I now stop at vp5 with the following message:

I'm starting to believe this dog won't hunt (in fact is dead,
bloated, and full of worms...); but has anyone got a solution for
network booting in VBox on FBSD host?

To PXE-boot a VM guest, set networking to to Bridged and use the
PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A) adapter type.  If the host is FreeBSD, the
vboxnet kernel module has to be loaded.

Please emphasize that the PCnet-PCI II card emulation is necessary.  I
was trying the Intel emulation and making no progress.  I then noticed
your page and tried the PCnet-PCI II card and it started working.  I
would guess that means their Intel card emulation is incomplete.
I took it for granted the bridge part (I usually use it anyway), but I 
would never have guessed the PCnet card in a blue fit! There was even 
a PR on virtualbox for the issue of the lack of PXE with Oracle 
basically saying too bad, so sad Apparently PXE licensing didn't 
allow them to distribute it directly, but offer an extension pack 
(which doesn't work on FBSD) instead. Ergo my conclusion. Apparently 
(based on this thread) it only affects intel cards though...


Where is your page Warren, and why didn't it show up in my searches? 
;) I'll follow it from here on out I think...


Thanks guys... saved me a lot more fussing!

Hi all,

You can also look at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and 
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing for info 
related to the extension pack where you can find the PXE boot ROM for 
the Intel E1000 cards, unfortunately it's PUEL, virtualbox on FBSD is 
OSE. My worst case scenario was with a custom linux kernel on the guest 
that didn't had drivers for Amd cards, I had to do something like this:


NIC 1:   MAC: 0800276F42C6, Attachment: Bridged Interface 
'bridge0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 
Am79C970A, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0
NIC 2:   MAC: 0800276F42C6, Attachment: Bridged Interface 
'bridge0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, 
Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0

Agreed, and for further security, I also use NoScript and Request Policy.

Many folks won't like the latter two, as they tend to block an awful
lot until you get them tuned, but they make me happ(y|ier) while

I'm pretty sure the extension you want is called Adblock Plus, not Add
Block Plus.

It has been a little bit since I've dealt with these extensions, though,
because I started using another browser that offers things like plugin
and JavaScript whitelisting as a core feature.  Take my memory of it for
what it's worth.

I use /etc/hosts to block unwanted sites.

I used 

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

as a starting point and added other sites over time.

If course, adds which are served from the visited host are not blocked that 
way. Let them earn some money.
