I'm using xfce4, I have a workaround for that. 1. start X 2. when it comes up press alt+F2, the start program dialog comes up 3. type in xterm or your terminal of choice 4. in your terminal su to root then type /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart wait a few seconds and the mouse should work again.

Also, zroot causes me a lot of problems when I try to do zpool import, when zpool gets to probing zroot, I get g_vfs errors printed to the console and the hacnine hangs till I reset it (which is obviously not acceptable behavior.) I was able to get around this when booting to my cf card by making / ro, which was my intention all along for that media.) I suspect this happens because there is a on that volume that is trying to replace something on / on either the USB boot img or on my CF card and this might be causing either to freak out. So I dunno what to do to get this working the way it should and some guidence would be greatly appreciated! Sounds like something I came across and haven't gathered more details to submit a pr yet. I think there is a problem when two zpools have the same mountpoint - either / or legacy or one of each that prevents startup. Also zfs filesystems with matching mountpoints appear to mount together and cause issues, not sure if this extends to existing ufs mount points. Check the mountpoint settings on each filesystem 'zfs get mountpoint' will list them all. ___ 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

It just occured to me -- you could do a 'daemon' process that ran as the
superuser, and provided the hardware-level services to a non-root client
via, say, RPC, or a bare 'socket' ('unix' or 'ip') connection.
Doing the I/O via RPC would be 'interesting', in that the 'device' could
be physically connected to one machine (almost an 'embedded'-class micro-
controller), while the vast majority of the 'control progrm' could run on
an entirely different machine.
If you're up to doing the device-driver coding, it is a =better= solution,
because then you can use the filesystem access-control mechanisms to limit
access to the 'device'.

If the 'imaginary' address you gave above, is really something other than '192.168.5.1', substitute the actual first 3 parts of the 'real' address for '192.168.5' everywhere below. and the actual 4th part for the .1 address. This will be a several step process. Some of the things are 'just temporary', so you can see how to do subsequent things. First: use the 'ifconfig' command to set an IP addreess for your machine, so that you can 'see' what the Clear hub configuration is. ifconfig re0 192.168.5.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 Also, just for grins, we'll set up a 'default' route, to see if we can see the 'world'. route add default 192.168.5.1 Now, fire up a web browser, and enter the 'imaginary' webserver address in the browser's 'address' space. hit the enter key. Tell us what you get, and we can proceed from there. *Probably* just enabling DHCP in /etc/rc.conf, on the 're' interface (that is, adding the following line to that file): ifconfig_re=DHCP And re-booting is all you'll need. ___ 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
Re: LRO support for IPv6
Ok. I found the reason for the throughput drop in case of IPv6. Reason is that the tcp check sum calculation is mandated in case of IPv6 irrespective of whether the card is doing it or not (checksum offload). Is there a reason why freebsd is doing it that way? /Venkat On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 11:16 PM, Jack Vogel jfvo...@gmail.com wrote: LRO is a huge win for 10G (as is TSO on the TX side), so odds are good its behind the drop, in any case you'll be able to test that soon :) Jack On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 10:35 AM, Venkat Duvvuru venkatduvvuru...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the response. I observed that there is a significant performance drop in case of IPv6 on the rx side. While I'm able to hit line rate ~9.5 Gbps on a 10gb NIC for IPv4..I could only get ~6 Gbps on the rx front for IPv6...However tx for IPv6 is on par with IPv4 hitting almost line rates. Could this be because of lack of LRO6?? Note: hwpmc profiling shows that most of the time is spent in the IPv6 stack code /Venkat On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 10:37 PM, Bjoern A.

The above we should have done years ago;) You ROCK bz :) Jack On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Bjoern A. Zeeb b...@freebsd.org wrote: On 22.
