From what I see in the BIOS it just says DMA Mode and then Enabled or 
Disabled. Unfortunately it doesnt look like any drive-specific options 
to choose which speed.


Simply changing in within FreeBSD might be a little late, since the 
system has to boot far enough to get to that, or you might run some 
other OS on the machine one fine day.  Anyway, consider:


touch /etc/rc.local
echo /sbin/atacontrol mode ...  /etc/rc.local


Everything seems fine with all the drives until I try to start to 
transfer data between them at 133 mode. So I think that rc entry you 
suggested would be perfect, since that would execute before I would 
start transferring any files.


Thanks :)

 Subject: ipf sample rule file
 To: FBSD_IG @a1poweruser.com

 Thank you for your tremendous guide for FreeBSD newbies.  I am
 confused by:
 # Allow out access to my ISP's DHCP server for cable or DSL networks.
 # This rule is not needed for ‘user ppp’ type connection to the
 # public Internet, so you can delete this whole group.
 # Use the following rule and check log for IP address.
 # Then put IP address in commented out rule  delete first rule
 pass out log quick on dc0 proto udp from any to any port = 67 keep state
 #pass out quick on dc0 proto udp from any to z.z.z.z port = 67 keep
 state

The comments are mildly confusing, since they state that this entire
block is not necessary, yet the block contains rules.  Seeing the email
address of the forwarded post, I can probably assume that you got this
from the Handbook.

The firewall described in the firewall chapter of the Handbook is
paranoid enough to block all incoming *AND* outgoing traffic.  This
means that if you use it without explicit rules for the services you
plan to use, the firewall will block you from making use of these
services.

Having that in mind, it may be more clear what the comments above mean.
If the FreeBSD machine is used as a DSL gateway and it obtains its
external IP address from your Internet Service Provider with DHCP, you
have to use special rules to unblock the DHCP traffic.  DHCP clients
send broadcast packets directed to port 67 of any listening DHCP server,
so the proper steps for setting up the firewall rules correctly (if we
are to follow the spirit of the existing firewall chapter), would be
something like this:

1. Start with a DHCP firewall rule that allows any DHCP server
to reply with a DHCP address assignment (and other related information).
This rule would look like this:

pass out log quick on dc0 proto udp from any to any port = 67 keep state

2. Connect to your DSL provider at least once.

3. Look at the system logs (i.e. /var/log/ppp.log) and see which
DHCP server (or servers, if there's more than one) replies with an
address assignment when your machine sends out DHCP requests.  Note the
address of the DHCP server (or all the valid DHCP server addresses, if
there's more than one) down.

4. Comment out or delete the previous DHCP rule that allowed DHCP
traffic towards *any* DHCP server.

5. Add special rules that allow DHCP traffic only if it is destined
for one of the valid DHCP server addresses, i.e. if your ISP uses a
single DHCP server with an IP address of ``aa.bb.cc.dd'', your rule
would be:

pass out log quick on dc0 proto udp from any to aa.bb.cc.dd port = 67 keep 
state

I am not sure if this will work though.  AFAIK, when a DHCP clients
sends a request for an IP address over the wire, it doesn't send it
towards a specific IP address, so this procedure suggested by the
current firewall chapter is probably broken.  Anyone who uses a FreeBSD
machine as a DSL gateway *AND* uses the rules of Joseph J. Barbish as
they are listed in the Handbook, who can tell us if the specific part of
the rules works correctly?

 my /etc/resolv.conf file is:
 search bc.hsia.telus.net
 nameserver 154.11.128.187
 nameserver 154.11.128.59
 nameserver 64.114.195.135
 nameserver 64.114.195.136

The resolv.conf file contains options related to the resolution of host
names to IP addresses and vice versa via the DNS protocol.  This is not
related to the internals of DHCP or your firewall.

Nightly backup using CD-ROM

Hi all,

I found a post from last November with a small script for backing up to CD-ROM
with sessions.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-November/064117.html

My question is how can I access the data on the CD between backups without
having to run fixate?  It obviously doesn't mount like a regular CD until

Re: ftp security

2005-08-16 Thread Jerry McAllister

 
 I read http://www.freebsddiary.org/ftp-anonymous.php to try and secrue my ftp 
 server.
 The author sugested to add a line to my fstab:
  
 /dev/ad2s2f   /home/ftp/incoming ufs  rw,SUIDDIR2   2
  
 however i don't have the file ad2s2f in my /dev directory
  
 # DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options DumpPass#
 /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw  0   0
 /dev/ad0s1a /   ufs rw  1   1
 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw  2   2
 /dev/ad0s1f /usrufs rw  2   2
 /dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw  2   2
 /dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0
 #/dev/ad0s  /ftp/incoming   ufs rw,SUIDDIR  2   2
 
 [root]/etc-
 
 i don't really understand the fstab but I gather
 ad0s1 is the drive and a-f is the partitions created at boot time
  
 basicly i am trying to sticky a directory mounted by fstab

You are only partly right.
The drive slice is ad0s1 - there can be up to 4 slices.
The a-f  (Actually a-h are possible) are partitions within the
slice created when the the disk is partitioned - before a file
system is built on them using newfs.
To use a disk:   (yes, I know you can get by with some shortcutting - don't)
  use fdisk to create slices 1..4 (and write the sector boot block if desired).
  use disklabel to create partitions in the slice[s].
  use newfs to build a filesystem in each partition except swap.
  use mkdir to create a mount point - which is the same as a directory
  use mount to bind the partition to the mount point
  and/or edit /etc/fstab to specify the partition-mount point binding
 and mount -a will look through fstab and do the mounts.
 at boot time the equivalent of a mount -s is done.

Just putting something in /etc/fstab will not be enough.   The file system
needs to be created first.

Having a line  /dev/ad2s2f  /home/ftp/incoming ufs rw,SUIDIR  2   2

implies that you 
 - have a second IDE drive in the machine and 
 - that it has been sliced with fdisk in to at least two slices and 
 - then the slice 2 on disk 2 has had at least an f partition created 
   with disklabel (you can skip letters if you want, a, b, c and d are 
   reserved for certain things by convention, though not by requirement) and
 - then newfs was used to create a filesystem on it and 
 - that the directories /home (normally there anyway), /home/ftp and
   /home/ftp/incoming  were all created by mkdir.
I would skip putting it in /home myself, just to reduce typing
and would just make a /ftpincoming directory right in root (/), but
suit yourself on the naming and arrangement of directories.

Then you can have a separate filesystem to receive incoming ftp uploads 
and not have them affect the other filesystems on your machine.
If you are planning on allowing uploads via ftp, it is a good idea.
On the other hand, if you don't want to allow ftp uploads, then just
don't allow them and skip all that stuff.

Re: i can't block win98 computers

vladone wrote:

Thanks all for reply!
Now:
1. i try to permit only good mac and deny any else but not work. Win98
still have internet.
2. one solution is probably to block acces for win98 computers to any on port 
53 and block in this
 mode DNS service, but is a little strange this solution.


When a client just won't behave, sometimes the only solution is an 
ugly workaround. Or upgrading the client. We banned Win98 on our 
network (long before it was end-of-life) because of the load it 
placed on IT staff with its rotten stability and oddities. It was 
cheaper to upgrade the PCs than it was to dedicate support staff to 
applying bandages to Win98.



3. i dont understand  how work tcpdump. I used: #tcpdump -i fxp0,
but a dont see all traffic and after close tcpdump i see an great
number of packets dropped by kernel, without any rule for this.


This probably means that your CPU isn't powerful enough for the load 
you are putting on it with this particular task. I used to be able 
to effectively tcpdump our core LAN using a Pentium II, but that was 
a long time ago, and that laptop is now only suitable for sniffing 
on low density edge LANs. Short of upgrading, I'm sure there are 
things you can do to tune the tcpdump and kernel behaviors; search 
the archives for more information (or maybe someone will jump in 
here with the appropriate syntax).


If you have a smart switch, you should also be able to reflect all 
traffic onto one port and attach a separate sniffer device there 
instead of dumping on the firewall itself.



4. with arp -a i see and mac for win98 computers. I tried to delete
entries in arp table for win98 hosts but nothing.

Is great if somebody have experience with this situation, or tested
some solutions for this problem.


Another approach might be to use DHCP reservations (or, ugly, 
manually configured IP settings on each PC), and if possible, smart 
switch VLANs, to segregate Win98 clients onto their own subnet and 
simply filter by IP address.

I maked two dumps of root filesystem with dump(8):

 - the second of level 3 on the next day after level 0 (all files new or

Now I'm trying to restore filesystem with restore(8):
cat dump0 | (cd /mnt/ad0s1a  restore -ruyf -)
cat dump3 | (cd /mnt/ad0s1a  restore -ruyf -)

I'm getting next warning message:
./sbin/init: cannot create file: Operation not permitted

And this warning appears for all files with `schg' flag.

Question: why the dump of level 3 contains files which were not modified
since dump of level 0?

See vidcontrol(1) for further detail.  There are also tools in the ports

Most of the screenshots were taken post-installation.  There are a few

A few of the screens were captured using the headless install technique

Re[3]: i can't block win98 computers

 My server has an Athlon XP CPU at 1.6 Ghz with 256 mb ram.
 Don't believe that this is the reason for which don't goes tcpdump.
 Every client has his ip, but i want to prevent illegal connections,
 and this can be changed.

Changing the MAC is not that much more complicated than changing
the IP. If you're really into secure access you should maybe use
something like authpf.

That ought to work. Still, every time I've seen tcpdump dropping 
packets, it's a load issue. For some options you could test to 
improve tcpdump performance, see this message:

Hi list,

As you may have seen already, this is a common issue with systems running 
dhclient. It will overwrite the resolv.conf with the ISP provided dns 
information as soon as it obtains it from the dhcp server. To counter this, 
do this with your dhclient.conf file (/etc/dhclient.conf) and create a 
prepend entry for each server you want to answer your dns requests. Take 
note, the file is read from top to bottom and in the example below, 
127.0.0.1 would be the primary dns server for your system.

interface rl0 {
   prepend domain-name-servers enteryourdnsiphere
   prepend domain-name-servers enteryourdnsiphere
   prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

You can learn a lot by looking at (something like): /var/log/Xorg.0.log

If your monitor and controller are fairly new, you should find info

And read xvidtune manpage if you haven't already.

AFAIK everything slows down. This is a hardware problem and FreeBSD

Maybe tcpdump (propably use ethereal on Windows) the working winxp DHCP 
connection, then tcpdump the not
working FreeBSD connection. Compare them both and try to find the

Re: cache-only named won't resolve localhost

Chuck Swiger [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Note that the resolver will treat lookups of localhost. and localhost 
 differently if you have a domain or search
 directive specified in /etc/resolv.conf.  You could and perhaps should ensure 
 that the one ending in a period exists in
 a zone file on the nameserver, and maps via an A record to 127.0.0.1:

Apparently so.  I've sorta followed your suggestions and used the
following rather verbose master/localhost with good results (except
Mozilla).  You needn't read further; I've just added some observations.


$TTL 604800

localhost.   IN  SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
20050816 ; Serial
  604800 ; Refresh
   86400 ; Retry
 2419200 ; Expire

;Name Server:
localhost.INNSlocalhost.

;Host Address:
localhost.INA 127.0.0.1

;Host Alias:
localhost.localhost.INCNAMElocalhost.

; The End.


Now host, dig, and nslookup work OK, even without an
/etc/resolv.conf file.  But sendmail seems to need the later.
(It just has nameserver 127.0.0.1.)

I tried to make localhost.localhost the canonical domain and
localhost. the alias (so it would better correspond to the
reverse mapping which has 127.0.0.1  localhost.localhost.), but
it then wouldn't resolve localhost OR localhost.localhost.

My DNS book implies taht any domain name can be assigned to a host, as
it can with the CNAME above, but it seems that important software
either insists that a host has a two-part domain name or chokes on a
FQDN like localhost., which ends with a dot.  So be it.


Mozilla apparently doesn't even use my local DNS as it still hangs.
(I must admit that I've never checked my caching DNS's cache.)

I know little about proxies, but I tried configuring Mozilla to use a
localhost proxyand it then resolved localhost OK, but my funky
python-only web server couldn't find the index.html it found with
127.0.0.1.  Oh well, I don't much care about Mozilla problems as long
as I can work around it, which I can.

Thanks.

Raid / Dual booting / Really need help.

2005-08-16 Thread Eric Murphy

Hey guys -- First off let me give you inisght on my hardware.

CPU: 3400 AMD 64
MB: Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe
Video: Nvidia  6600 GT
Ram: 3gigs Crucial
HD: (2) SATA Hitachi 80gig Drives
RAID:  ONBOARD: Silicon Image Sil 1334 Raid Controller
   ONBOARD: Nvidia Southbridge Raid Controller


My Problem:

Well it all started when I decided to dual boot my system with Windows Xp, And 
FreeBSD 5.4.  Installing Windows was no problem.  It went flawless.  When I got 
to installing FreeBSD 5.4 I had noticed that it was not detecting my Silicon 
1334 Raid Controller. And was just showing my 2 Hard Drives (ad4 and ad6)  I 
decided to go ahead and install anyway and setting the boot mgr on BOTH drives. 
(Just like the hand book says)  Well I rebooted, and the boot manager loads.  
Windows boots just fine, but BSD on the other hand does not.  I get a NOT UFS  
no /kernel Error.  Now it seems to me that it cant find the mount points or the 
kernel on the disk.  I think this is caused by a non dectected raid controller. 
 My next step was to disable the Silicon Image 1334 Raid controller and try 
useing the Nvidia one.  I repeated the SAME steps as above and recieved the 
same error messages.  My next thought was maybe 5.4 did not support either of 
my raid controllers. So I decided to search the web.. turns out some people got 
it working, most didnt (Go figure the ones that did get it working did not say 
how).  So I did the only thing I could do and try out FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.  I 
started again with my Silicon 1334 Raid controller.  Again I had no success and 
FreeBSD did NOT detect my controller.  So I had the same resalts.  (Not UFS, no 
/kernel)  So this time, as you could guess I tryed the Nvidia controller.  This 
time however, upon booting the install I noticed that FreeBSD did in fact 
detect my nvidia controller! During the FDISK install step I now had (ad4, ad6 
AND ar0).  So I went ahead and installed the packages I wanted and had thought 
I found a solution to my problem!  Well it turns out that 6.0 does not come 
with the ports tree OR Xorg.  So now im confused - I do not know how to proceed 
from here.  I also was wondering if there was a way to load the driver for my 
Nvidia raid controller on my 5.4 installation.  So my question comes down to 
this:

How can I get this working with 5.4 (prehaps by loading a driver?) and if I 
cant, how can I get 6.0 up and running with everything I need. Also can anyone 
confirm that these raid controllers ARE or ARE NOT supported.

Thanks for reading - and if anyone has ANY suggestions PLEASE respond.  Ive 
already poured my heart out at bsdforums.org haha.

I don't know if 5.4 supports 11g but it I know it doesn't support too
much advanced authentication mechanisms (WPA).

I believe you need not only ath and ath_hal in the kernel config file
but also wlan and some ath_rate module (one of ath_rate_onoe,
ath_rate_amrr or ath_rate_sample). The recommended rate module is
ath_rate_sample.

Why do you compile the modules statically into the kernel? Modules
should work too.

Hi
I just wanted to know if the ath driver is included within the 5.4-
RELEASE as I can't seem to find it with the GENERIC config or do I
just load auth with kldload ? I can't check as I'm not at home atm.
Thanks in advance Glyn


Yes it's part of 5.4, started life in 5.2, man ath:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=athapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE+and+Portsformat=html

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi


The ath driver is available in 5.4 RELEASE; but is not compiled into
the GENERIC kernel.  If my memory serves me correctly, people on this
list have reported problems loading the kernel modules.  Therefore,
you'll probably need to recompile the kernel with the following:

 device ath
 device ath_hal

Thanks for your replies guys. Will this support 11g as I read something
about the wireless stack in 6.0 is different in some way compared to 5.4 ?
I tried to compile 6.0-BETA 2 with both device ath and device ath_hal
but the kernel compile died with undefined symbol error's, i've google
it but not found anything, any idea's guy's ?
 
 
 I don't know if 5.4 supports 11g but it I know it doesn't support too
 much advanced authentication mechanisms (WPA).
 
 I believe you need not only ath and ath_hal in the kernel config file
 but also wlan and some ath_rate module (one of ath_rate_onoe,
 ath_rate_amrr or ath_rate_sample). The recommended rate module is
 ath_rate_sample.
 
 Why do you compile the modules statically into the kernel? Modules
 should work too.

Yes. By default all the modules are always compiled and installed
(in /boot/kernel/*.ko).

Modules for network cards are called if_$cardname(.ko). So to load
ath(4) support you'd issue 'kldload if_ath'. The linker loads whatever
other modules are required for function of the module which aren't
compiled in or already loaded (so ath would load wlan, ath_rate and
ath_hal).

Re: DHCP Issue - could not get ip.

2005-08-16 Thread Greg Barniskis


Ovidiu Ene wrote:

Hello.

I have a problem with DHCP, i've tried to solve googling, reading post 
on forums.


I have a DHCP cable modem connection.
in rc.conf i have ifconfig_vr0=DHCP

when i launch dhclient -d vr0 i get:

I've tried differend things, like setting the nic for 10 mbps, 
half-dupplex, reseting the cable modem.


Starting to sound familiar...


(I've talk also with isp, they said does not support FreeBSD or linux)


I got that lame excuse too. My response was that I was really not 
asking them to support my BSD box, but merely to tell me what their 
DHCP server required. That is, I really needed them to provide 
support information for *their* network components, not mine. Taking 
this attitude got me escalated to a supervisor who was surprising 
helpful and knew what the basic problem was (see below).



I've tried almost any parameter in dhclient.conf.

If i boot on windoze (same box, same nic) DHCP works. I've taken ip and 
gateway from windoze put with ifconfig in freebsd and internet works.


Have you any ideea what should I do?


My cable ISP used to require that the client submit a host name with 
its request, which if I recall correctly (this was a long time ago), 
Windows does and FreeBSD doesn't do by default. I fixed it by adding 
an option to dhclient.conf. Like:


interface fxp0 {
   send host-name NOWINDRZ;
   prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
   [other standard request stuff here];
}

Hope that helps. You might have tried sending a name before, but if 
I recall, sending a FQDN did not work while sending a simple host 
name did (using the same name my Windows box had previously 
successfully used to get an address, BTW. Not sure that was needed 
but it worked).


Also, after your Windows installation successfully got an IP, did 
you release it before shutting down and trying FreeBSD? If I recall, 
that was also required in my situation.

Re: Stable server

Carstea Catalin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 what version of freebsd do u recomand for a stable server? 

The Handbook recommends against using a stable branch (RELENG_5
or RELENG_4, which might not even compile)

   without first thoroughly testing the code in your development
   environment.

But if one is going to thoroughly test the code, one might as will use
HEAD, except that it is likely to fail and be a waste of time (or your
testing is not thorough enough).

So it seems to me that one's choice is between thorough testing of
RELENG_5 or less thorough testing of RELENG_5_4 or RELENG_4_11.  I'll
leave it to those with more experience for choosing between the last
two, but it sounds like it's a toss-up, with some recommendations
being influenced by conservatism or a desire for more 5 testers. :)
Another factor (besides testing effort) in the choice between RELENG_5
and RELENG_5_4 is the number of fixes as measured by the time since
RELENG_5_4_0_RELEASE.

 4.11 is solid, hasn't shown any problems here. 5.4 is the best of the 5.x

 haven't put it through as much stress as we have 4.11 .

I forgot to mention the other reason I recommend 4.11 first:

4.11-R is scheduled to receive security updates 8 months longer than
5.4-R, which may be relevant if you want to stick with a specific version

Aggregated bandwidth

I have 5 hard drives, and when copying data between them in certain 
configurations (such as drive placement) I get READ and WRITE wouldn 
errors. All the cables are brand new, as are two of the hard drives.


Similar errors happened on the last board I had. I had the same model 
(Giga-Byte K8NS Pro) a couple months ago that had other issues in 
addition to this. I sent it to the factory for a RMA, and a brand new 
one came back. Before I sent it in, I was using Windows XP and it 
would automatically downgrade it to 100 so I wouldn't see any errors. 
When I switched over to FreeBSD and it tried to operate in 133 mode, I 
got errors instead of the OS trying to hide it.


Note that throughout this whole problem I never got a FAILURE 
message until today, except that is only on one drive, and one that I 
think is in fact going bad.


It's gotta be something with the controller.

I can't get you the dmesg info right now since I'm doing a scan on 
that one hard drive that I think is failing. But it is an nForce 3 
chipset on a Giga-Byte K8NS Pro motherboard.


I would really like to solve the DMA problems, but if not I think the 
easiest is trying to downgrade it to UDMA100 on boot, which is what 
this post is about.


Thanks

Hi everyone. I've had a thread going here on the lists about DMA

I know about atacontrol to set it manually, but I'd like to set

also know the sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma, but that doesn't say anything

Sounds like a cable issue, but could it be a buggy bios?  How about 
some information since I did not see your previous postings.

Also if I don't have a cd in the drive I get acd0: CDRW LITE-ON 
LTR-40125S/ZS0K at ata1-master PIO4 for acd0.  If there is a disc 
in the drive it is set to UDMA66 at boot up.   Or first use  if it 
was not in at boot.




I checked the links and saw no dmesg or drive models for all drives.  I
can tell you UDMA 133 was not an official spec, a least at first.  It
was a maxtor only thing, and not all chipsets handled it.  Basically
maxtor tightened the timings on the ide cable signals to squence extra
data.  If you have new and old drives, plus different brands I would not
expect to run at 133 speeds.  I don't care to look it up now, but you
may want to find out if any other drive manufactures support the 133
spec today.  Also there are load and signal degregation issues with to
think about with longer cables.  If you have a full tower case with the
longest cables you can buy you won't get max speeds even at the 133
setting.  If you know someone whos works in a pc rpair shop you could
ask them what cable length does to drive speeds.  I am told if you want
to copy drives for customers you want to get a good cable, but only with
1 device per cable and get it as short as possible.  A 2 inch cable will
dramatically shorten the time to copy whole drives compared to a 16 inch
cable.

Well now I can't even get two drives on the same channel to mount 
together. If one is mounted and I try to mount the other one on the same 
channel, the other gets immediate DMA_READ problems and then failures. 
This is trying two brand new drives with brand new cables.


If I eliminate one of the drives and run one on each channel, they all 
work fine together. I'm not sure if that rc.local trick that was 
suggested would work now. I don't know if drives get mounted before 
rc.local would get executed or not.


Going to have to bring back my thread on the errors.

Re: After Partitioning a Drive: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRCerror (retrying request)

OK. Now I really am at a loss for words. I experienced my first FAILURE 
message this morning when trying to fdisk my last newly formatted 160GB 
drive. The second fdisk would start to write, my screen would fill with 
WRITE_DMA WARNINGS and FAILURES. That was with another drive on the same 
controller. I removed that drive, and everything works fine.


I just got another brand new 200GB drive within the last hour. Even it 
on the same channel as anything else causes errors upon mount, and 
FAILUREs as well. Then I cannot shut down properly because the errors 
continue even to the shutdown sequence. Then on the next boot I get 
messages about things not being properly dismounted. (First time 
happening).


I don't know if it's hardware or FreeBSD anymore. I read this thread on 
freebsd-stable earlier today, and then all of a sudden I start getting 
all the failures that I never got before:


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-August/017636.html

So please, anybody...Is this a controller incompatibility with my other 
hardware (drives) or a FreeBSD problem?


Up until now I was 98% certain it was hardware in some way, but now I'm 
not sure. I have the opportunity to get an Asus board to test, but I'm 
not going to shell out money for something if it isn't even a hardware 
problem.


Thanks very much.

Well, it's a week later and I've been trying some things. I don't want 
to get in to too much complicated detail, but I've now got the following 
disk setup:


Primary Master - 200GB 7200RPM
Secondary Master - TDK VeloCD CD Burner
Secondary Slave - Sony DRU500A
RAID0 Master - 160GB 7200RPM
RAID0 Slave - 160GB 7200RPM

I don't have the two 80GB's or 60GB's in there now since I was just 
testing with this setup. I thought keeping the OS drive on primary 
master and the rest on RAID would do the trick, but it didn't.


Bottom line is, I'm still getting the same errors with several different 
configurations of the drives. Now in the last couple of days I'm also 
getting READ DMA errors when reading from one of the 160GB drives as 
well. Before it was all just WRITE, but now some READs are thrown in 
there as well.


I should note that I have never seen a FAILURE message, only the 
WARNING messages. Also, if I downgrade the speed to UDMA100, it seems 
to work just fine as it does in UDMA66 mode.


I'm wondering if anyone else has any ideas? Personally I'm out, and if 
nobody else knows (including Maxtor, Giga-Byte, and my parts 
distributor) then I'm going to have to see what I can do to get another 
brand/model motherboard. I'm to the point where I think it's something 
with their controller and how it handles Maxtor drives. Now that I 
remember, I used to see similar results when running Windows on the 
previous board before sending it in (same model). However Windows would 
automatically take it down to 100 so I didn't see any errors.


Anyone think its something other than the board and it's controllers, or 
is that a pretty good estimate?


Thanks in advance.

Okay well I tried another test. I left the 160GB on the primary IDE

I copied the data over again. No errors this time. I checksummed the 
data, and everything is OK.

Without another known-working mainboard to test, you can't really be

cabling, perhaps a marginal or failing mainboard.




The cables are new, and the other drive on the same channel works in 
UDMA133 with no errors.


The motherboard is new as well, fresh from the factory (unless it's 
defective).


If you use BIOS or atacontrol to slow down to UDMA 33 speeds, does 
everything work OK?




I tried slowing it down to UDMA66 speeds via atacontrol, and the 
errors went away on the 80GB. I haven't tried the 60GB drive yet.

Try making a PERL script with the following lines...

$UserDetails{EncryptedPassword} = crypt($UserDetails{TextPassword}, join  
'', ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64]); # this

my $PassMD5 = crypt($Login-{Password}, $EncryptedPassword); # this

Where is the emulators/vmware3 tarball?

Where should I look for the emulators/vmware3? The port is looking to
find it  on various conxion.com servers which give Permission denied and
it can't be found in ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/

Hmm, really?  The last 5.X release was 5.4, and 6.0 is
on the way, so I doubt FreeBSD will ever reach 5.13 -
and, if it does, it'll likely be in 2008-2009 or so.  You
might want to ask for clarification on this.

Perhaps Google.  Or someone else.  I can find no
pdftotext in the ports tree (about 1
programs there).  I might suggest xpdf as an
alternative, but I only assume it does ASCII, as
I've not used the port:

 haven't put it through as much stress as we have 4.11

4.x compared to 5.x will always be more stable
5.x compared to 6.x will always be more stable
6.x compared to 7.x will al

Do you see a trend? 4.x works now but what about in another year, two
years, or three? Try running the last version of 3.x on today's
hardware and software, 4.x is already having problems with hardware
support. FreeBSD 6 already has a -STABLE and it's first release is
just around the corner, It would be unwise to deploy 4.x unless
specifically needed If you need to build the next Mars rover or a
persons life depends on the system working then use 4.x, If your
deploying a new web server or what not you want 5.x, possibly even 6.x
if you can wait another month or two.

Fwd: How to limit the nat's stream speed?

2005-08-16 Thread he ccjj

Good,I use your method to solute the problem,i do like this:
add dummynet_enabe=YES to /boot/loader.conf
then
add these lines to /etc/rc.firewall:
   ${fwcmd} add pipe 1 ip from ${inet} to any out limit src-addr 400
   ${fwcmd} add pipe 2 ip from any to ${inet} in  limit src-addr 400
   ${fwcmd} pipe 1 config delay 2ms bw 10Mbit/s
   ${fwcmd} pipe 2 config delay 2ms bw 10Mbit/s
yeah!
But the speed was limited to about 350KB/s when i download enven in LAN!
I changed scr-add and delay and bw,it's like that have no effect
except deleting delay 2ms(about 800KB/s without delay). The users of
LAN will hate me from now! :

 You may take a look at ipfw(8) manpage and search for dummynet
 configuration.
 For example, if you know the offending IP, you can try something like
 this:

 kldload dummynet
 ipfw pipe ${pipe-num} config bw ${max-bw}
 ipfw add ${rule-num} pipe ${pipe-num} ip from ${offending-IP} to any

 It's a very simple example, take it as a starting point.

You are using DHCP on rl0, with a lease of an hour or less?

'pdftotext' is part of xpdf, so installing graphics/xpdf either as a package
or as a ports will get you a pdftotext binary.
