FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE w/ SanDisk ImageMate S11202
Hi, I have a PCI Express card with VIA VL800 chipset which seems to work OK with a Seagate drive, so I presume the interface is working. If I boot with a SanDisk ImageMate S11202 plugged into the USB 3.0 card, the display shows messages about the SanDisk device, appears to properly identify it, and with like 'querying ...' slots on the card reader, which all fail - (there are no cards in the reader). Then the machine sails into outerspace, kind of just sits there until (perhaps) the end of time, or until I kill the power. It never gets the network interface up, so no ssh. It would be great to be able to paste the log here but when I reboot there is nothing about the activity in the log, it's like the entire boot process never happened. Anyone have any experience with this card reader? I appreciate any suggestions or tips. Below is pertinent system information.

Re: tar compression
On 01/18/13 02:29, Fbsd8 wrote: The man page for tar command says there a 4 different compress types you can use, xz, bzip, bzip2 and gzip. bzip and bzip2 are synonyms I believe. Which one is the fastest and compresses the most? The general rule for compression is that fast and high compression are opposite ends of the same axis. I am using -z option for gzip and it sure is slow. You can use --options gzip:N or --options xz:N where N is 0-9 to control the compression level for gzip or xz compression. 0 is the quickest, but least compressing, 9 slowest and most. You'd need to find the trade off that works best for you. Hoping one of the other zip options are better. What do you guys use? Historically gzip, these days bz2, but that's more habit than any scientifically based decision. Compression depends on the data anyway, so the only truly correct answer is whatever works best for you. Another question about tar is can I have tar create a compressed bkup of 2 files and a directory tree all in single tar command? tar -cjf tarfile path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/tree/root or if you don't want to keep path prefixes for the files or tree tar -cjf tarfile -C file1dir file1 -C file2dir file2 -C dirtree .

I think KDE 3 is still in ports, but will be scheduled for removal, as KDE 4 is the place where development takes place, and there seems to be no active development on KDE 3 that can be built (!) on FreeBSD due to lack of contribution. I am currently running a live version of FreeBSD 8.2 with KDE 4.8. May I ask which live system this is? The thing here is, that KDE 4 is simply too heavy for my system. For example: it is impossible for me to have two open shells at the same time. Once I exit a given shell, I can't open another one due to a lack of resources, even after having turned off all the extra stuff - plasma desktop, nepomuk... Excuse me... you're joking, right? I assume you have a plentycore processor with Gigs of RAM, and already two shells show a problem? That sounds totally wrong. When you play a music file and move the window, do you get skipping audio, too? Just scary... As a consequence, I can see myself do two possible things, to have a system running with KDE 3.5 once again: 1. Go back to an older release of FreeBSD and install KDE 3.5 from the precompiled binaries that are on the DVD donwload version. Judging by the release announcements, this should be 7.1. Yes, this will work. But note that you are running an OS that has been gone out of support, so you probably won't be able to install newer software using ports or packages. However, you can use the system as is, and even use ports as long as the distfiles are still kept available online. 2. To be honest, I am quite happy with 8.2 and I would like to keep it for some time to come. In other words, is there a way to keep 8.2 and still have KDE 3.5 along with it? For example has anyone ever tried to install a 7.1 pre-built package (KDE 3.5 in this case) on an 8.2 system? Is that be possible? That should be possible if you install the required compat7x port on the system. Keep an eye on dependencies and make sure you won't be shooting your feet. A good start would be to install the KDE stuff on a clean system (right after compat7x) so there won't be much confusion. -- Polytropon 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 ___ 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

Safe way to repair corrupted GPT partition table?
Is there a way to repair a GPT partition table that has gotten corrupted (following a system hang during heavy I/O to a ZFS filesystem)? I now get these errors whenever I boot the system: GEOM: da0: corrupt or invalid GPT detected. GEOM: da0: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable. Fortunately, my ZFS filesystem on the disk (actually a RAID 5 array on a ARC-1223 adapter) still mounts and seems to be ok. There is only one partition on the disk (the ZFS one) and it covered the entire disk so restoring it should be easy. Question is, is there a way to do this and will it be safe (I wouldn't want to trash the filesystem in the partion). A 'gpart show da0' gives this result: gpart: No such geom: da0.

Have there been any fixes for long TCP delays with FreeBSD 8.3 or 9.x?
Hi folks, I am seeing a problem when copying large files via SMB/Samba from a FreeBSD 8.0-based system (with Samba 3.6.6 and ZFS etc) where eventually Windows drops the connection. However, it seems, based on three captures I have, that what has happened is that FreeBSD has not supplied any data on the connection for 50-60 seconds and the Windows 60-second timeout trips. In each case, what I see is a large number of 1500-byte frames go out. Then Windows ACKs a reasonable amount of data, 30+K or so, and then sends another ACK to ack everything so far received. Then in two cases, after about 52 seconds I see some more data in two of the captures I have but after a further few seconds, Windows disconnects. In the last capture, there was no further data for 60 seconds, so Windows disconnected. I know there should have been more data because: 1. The READ requests are for 64kiB and there is still data to come and the sequence numbers match up. 2. In my Samba traces I know that Samba has gone on to process the next SMB2 command in sequence and the time difference between these are of the order of 1mS and Samba in this case is operating in sync mode where it does not read the next command off the socket until it has finished writing the response for the previous command to the socket. The system is relatively idle. Only one smbd and some web traffic (inbound as a result of a get). I am hoping that this describes a known problem. I can provide captures on request. They will have to be cut-down as they are 300 to 500MB in length. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂？唯有杜康。--曹操) ___ 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 now get these errors whenever I boot the system: GEOM: da0: corrupt or invalid GPT detected. GEOM: da0: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable. Fortunately, my ZFS filesystem on the disk (actually a RAID 5 array on a ARC-1223 adapter) still mounts and seems to be ok. There is only one partition on the disk (the ZFS one) and it covered the entire disk so restoring it should be easy. Question is, is there a way to do this and will it be safe (I wouldn't want to trash the filesystem in the partion). A 'gpart show da0' gives this result: gpart: No such geom: da0.

Slowdown of iwn wireless
Hi! On my home network I noticed that wireless transfer slows down a lot over time. It starts at reasonable internet speed of 300kB/s or something but after 2h of using the network it barely gets more than 20kB/s across.

Re: svn-export Re: svn bdb checkout?
Hi, svn-export has now been rewritten in Python 3. Here's a quick list of changes/features: * threads have been replaced with forks (and remain optional) * new option to set svn binary * new option to generate shell script instead of using internal calls * no subshell invocation * only svn binary is called directly I've only done some quick testing. Let me know how it works.

Re: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE w/ SanDisk ImageMate S11202
On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 12:10 AM, Waitman Gobble gobble...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I have a PCI Express card with VIA VL800 chipset which seems to work OK with a Seagate drive, so I presume the interface is working. If I boot with a SanDisk ImageMate S11202 plugged into the USB 3.0 card, the display shows messages about the SanDisk device, appears to properly identify it, and with like 'querying ...' slots on the card reader, which all fail - (there are no cards in the reader). Then the machine sails into outerspace, kind of just sits there until (perhaps) the end of time, or until I kill the power. It never gets the network interface up, so no ssh. It would be great to be able to paste the log here but when I reboot there is nothing about the activity in the log, it's like the entire boot process never happened.
