Since it's an Atom 330, it fully supports 64-bit mode (an opportunity I have grasped with both hands). The board I happen to be using is an Intel DG945GCLF2 - a clone board with just 1 DIMM slot and two SATA ports. Everything I need to have supported Just Worked out of the box. The server itself is running at a very low load level: timeserver ~ 15> uptime 1:00PM up 6 days, 12:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I can provide the output of most any other commands if you'd like to see anything specific. I rather suspect that the Supermicro and other server-class Atoms will still be using the Intel 945 or similar chipsets.

So the extra dword pushed onto the stack takes the place of the return address from the function the kernel expects to have been called. And since you're not actually using as a return address, it doesn't matter what value it actually has. The kernel doesn't use it for anything; it just expects it to be there in a properly arranged stack frame. ___ 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"

zfs raidz2 marked as UNAVAIL even though only one vdev is missing?
Hello, This morning I found that one of my disks was going bad, so I thought I would replace it (using zpool replace) with a new disk. This worked fine, and it was about 1/3 of the way through.

Then when I tried to bring the system back up, it reported the pool as FAULTED due to missing devices.

However, now the pool is not importable!

Is there a logfile that natd writes to, so that I may > investigate the reason why it is exiting? My first gut instinct about your problem was to blame dhclient first. But no NATD would definitely be a problem. I am assuming we are talking about IPFW and NATD here, and it has been many years since I've used it. I migrated to IPFILTER and then on to PF quite some time ago. Most logging related to IPFW is already present, but IIRC to log NATD you need to turn it on, and possibly configure it in syslog.conf should you desire the output somewhere other than /var/log/alias.log. Keep in mind there are two ways to pass options. You can use something like natd_flags="-l" in /etc/rc.conf. Man natd will provide a list. The second method is to place the options in a file such as natd.conf and pull them in like natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf". I looked in my notes and here is a snippet from an old /etc/rc.conf: natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="ppp0" natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf" My /etc/natd.conf: interface ppp0 use_sockets yes same_ports yes dynamic yes You could add a 'log yes' line here; it does the same as the -l described above. Note that you might need the 'dynamic yes' switch for an interface that changes. In my case I was using it for a ppp dial-up connection, change interface as needed. Sounds like you are narrowing down the culprit(s). Also note that it could possibly be a timing issue related to the order things start up. If the NATD is attempting to start before the interface has come up it will die. Shouldn't happen, but...

FreeBSD slices are pretty straight forward. They are just the name of the 4 primary divisions of a disk - limited to 4 by BIOS. MS just calls them primary partitions instead of slices. The major difference is how they might be subdivided. MS does what it calls logical partitions. FreeBSD subdivisions are just called partitions. The fdisk(8) utility creates slices (or primary partitions in MS, though the FreeBSD fdisk is not very conversant with some of the new MS types so you may be better off using something else to create primary partitions/slices if other OSen are being accomodated). Slices (or primary partitions) are identified by numbers 1..4. The bsdlabel(8) utility in FreeBSD is what subdivides a slice in to partitions. It used to be that it was limited to 7 real partitions identified with letters a..h with the letter 'c' reserved to describe the whole slice and not usable as a real partition. Partition 'a' is normally root mounted as '/' and partition 'b' is used as swap. These two (a & b) are conventions and not enforced, except that some software may make these assumptions.My understanding is that the newest versions of FreeBSD (8.0) modify or remove the limit and you can have letters above 'h' and thus more subdivisions in a slice, but I haven't tried that yet. In FreeBSD, to create a filesystem from a partition, you run newfs(8) on it. jerry > > Thanks a lot. > > 2009/11/11 Jerry McAllister > > > On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 12:27:13PM -0600, Jesús Abidan wrote: > > > > > i pressed f2 for freebsd and nothing happens... i pressed f1 for windows. > > > > > > I install freebsd on the first partition and now it occurs the viceversa, > > i > > > cannot boot windows, does it have to be something with the order of the > > > partitions? i mean primary, logical o something like this? > > > > MS-Win should optimally be installed on the first primary partition. > > This is called 'slice 1' by FreeBSD.

And we are going to need someone to implement the site. So here's what I need to find out: 1. We're looking for someone who would be interested in working on it and could handle all aspects on FreeBSD (I want to avoid MS and especially anything not open source - requires programming of whatever works best -- important: database (probably mysql - seems to be most popular and our host uses it); will need flash or lots of images & eventually instructional videos (flash ? or ?) will need gps tracking of equipment (vehicles); inventory tracking on daily/weekly basis; invoicing; AR/AP and CC management. There's no reason why the work can't be done over the Internet... I've done this before... Let me know if you're interested and we can discuss methods of working and payment... etc. 2. I would appreciate some suggestions about Unix programs that could be applicable to meet our needs.

MS-Win should optimally be installed on the first primary partition. This is called 'slice 1' by FreeBSD. Then FreeBSD should be installed on slice 2. If the slices are not to your liking, then you may need to use some utility such as Parition Magic 7 (I had trouble with PM-8) or gparted to define the primary partitions/slices before you do any of the installs. But, still, MS-Win should be installed first and go in the first slice and FreeBSD later in another slice. That is because MS-Win doesn't play very well if installed later and/or in a different slice. When you install FreeBSD (after the MS-Win install) select installing the FreeBSD MBR (not none or default minimum).It should be smart enough to find both. I have heard some complaints about MS-Vista and having to do some other monkeying around to get an MBR to handle it correctly, but I don't know details and I do not (lucky me) have any Vista machines to joust with. jerry > > 2009/11/11 Jerry McAllister > > > On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 11:02:35AM -0600, Jesús Abidan wrote: > > > > > Hi there, i have a problem here, i installed windows in mi box and i left > > a > > > partition for freebsd, i finished install of freebsd and installed the > > boot > > > mgr of freebsd but when i reboot only windows boots with f1 pressed? how > > can > > > I make the system boots both? > > > > Not sure all of what you see, but if you literally mean that when > > you press F1 it always boots MS-Win, that is probably correct. > > You will have to press F2 or maybe F3 (depending in which slice you > > installed FreeBSD) to boot FreeBSD. > > > > I suspect you mean something a little different, but if so, > > please elaborate. > > > > jerry > > > > > > > ___ > > > 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"
7.2-STABLE X mouse & keyboard issues
I just built a brand new 7.2 STABLE machine, and the xorg package. startx brings up a nice screen, but neither the mouse, nor the keyboard (both USB) function in X. I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet. Do I need to do so? If so, what;s the best way? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

What do you mean "make the system boot both?" At the same time? That's not going to happen. Isn't F1 the option for dos/windows?

Not sure all of what you see, but if you literally mean that when you press F1 it always boots MS-Win, that is probably correct. You will have to press F2 or maybe F3 (depending in which slice you installed FreeBSD) to boot FreeBSD. I suspect you mean something a little different, but if so, please elaborate. jerry > ___ > 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"

Re: Ruby Enterprise Edition 1.8.7 Apache / Passenger on FreeBSD 7.2
This is happening because in freebsd the stack protector is enabled by default. When you build ruby enterprise edition set to the CFLAGS / CXXFLAGS the -fno-stack-protector parameter. From a security perspective, I don't think that this is the best solution.

In my case the router does get the renewed ip, as I described earlier. However, even after waiting 8+ hours, the system will not recover from the outage properly (reason unknown). That's what this thread is all about. When I started the system today, I found that again it had no connectivity. I did some checks and then found that 'natd' was not running. But this is not happening that frequently, and seems to only have started after the last system update. Could be some sort of race condition. Is there a logfile that natd writes to, so that I may investigate the reason why it is exiting? ___ 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"

ssh-agent and ordering of keys
Hi all, I've a bit of an annoying problem that hopefully someone here has delt with before. I have a large(ish) number of ssh keys as i like to keep things nicely seperated, I also use longish passphrases. To deal with long pass phrases I have started to use ssh-agent, which is working nicely but since i have a large number of keys and ssh-agent doesnt let you specify a particular key for a particular machine (I was using host and IdentiyFile lines in ~/.ssh/config before) I'm starting to hit a problem where I'm unable to log in to a machine as I'm hitting the MaxAuthTries value in sshd_config. I know i could just bung the MaxAuthTries value up to 20 or so on all my servers but I dont really want to, I'd rather a way of specifying which ssh key ssh-agent uses for a specific host, (like i said it ignores the IdentiyFile lines in the config file and ignores the -i switch to ssh itself.)

Opencrypto patch/driver code upload
Hi All, I've a patch to opencrypto and I have a crypto driver that I would like to present for inclusion with the freebsd 7 release. Could you give me some pointers on getting that done? The opencrypto patch is relavent for FreeBSD 8 and 9 also... Some questions for the driver release: Does it necessarily have to compile if the harware API is not present? Our API is release with the dev board... Is it still possible to have new code added to FreeBSD 7, or is that now only accepting bug fixes? Any help/URLs etc is greatly appreciated.
