Another reason to have permanent WITHOUT_GNOMEVFS=yes in /etc/make.conf
 ;-)

That worked well on one system I have, and I appreciate the
tip.  However, another one has gcdmaster, which depends on
libgnomeuimm, which depends on gnomevfsmm...

 In 7.0 there is no detection of such a flag.
 
All the NO_XXX flags have been obsoleted, use WITHOUT_KERBEROS=yes
instead.  See src.conf(5) for more information.

Re: Quality of FreeBSD

 I dual boot between XP and FreeBSD and even use VMWare to boot FreeBSD
 with the real partition. Nice having FreeBSD compiling something in
 the background while using XP :)

That's pretty cool...

 That is a keyboard problem (the pointer device in the keyboard) I had
 one exchanged on this C840 and 2 others on a C610.

I'll pass that on to the maintenance guy.  This is an outsourced
(i.e., rented) machine.  (They'd be appalled to know that it
runs any non-Microsoft software.  Don't nobody tell!!!)

 I *think* I tested networking and attached storage with firewire.
 If you care to email me with your problems I can try see if it happens
 to me too.

Because the hard drive is only 20 GB, I have an external drive
connected to the IEEE 1394 port.  (The USB ports on this laptop
are unacceptably pokey.)  Most of the problems are probably
related to my attempts at hot-plugging (so to speak) this
interface.  The first time I connect the drive up to the box,
I get this sort of thing:

  firewire0: New S400 device ID:0090a9506600
  da0 at sbp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
  kernel: da0: WDC FireWire/USB2.0 0417 Fixed Simplified Direct Access SCSI-4 
device 
  kernel: da0: 50.000MB/s transfers
  kernel: da0: 238475MB (488397168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 30401C)
  fwohci0: BUS reset
  fwohci0: node_id=0xc000ffc0, gen=2, CYCLEMASTER mode
  kernel: firewire0: 1 nodes, maxhop = 0, cable IRM = 0 (me)
  kernel: firewire0: bus manager 0 (me)

I can then mount a partition from the drive:

  mount /dev/da0s2d ~/ext_bsd

Sometimes I have a problem--and I can't duplicate it right
now--in that if I umount the drive, then remove the plug, then
reinsert it, I can't remount it immediately.  Attempting to
mount the drive will block for a few minutes.  If I wait several
minutes, it will remount immediately, or I can speed that up by
removing and reinserting the plug a second time, which is what I
usually do.

The main problem I have is possibly related to an intermittent
connection...which has been aggravated by the many insertions
and reinsertions.  Sometimes, out of the blue, I'll get an error
like this:

  kernel: Interrupt storm detected on irq11: nvidia0 cbb*; throttling 
interrupt source
  kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset

It's usually precipitated by my moving the laptop off my lap
onto a table or otherwise wiggling the cable, which seems to
be unpredictably sensitive.  (It never happens if there is no
I/O going on at the time.)  I have no idea why it mentions the
nvidia0 device.

When this happens, any I/O on the Firewire drive will hang
indefinitely.  I can't fix it at that point; about all I can do
is reboot. fwcontrol -r doesn't help any.  If I reboot the
system, I always have problems syncing it; it complains about
unwritten buffers or vnodes, and eventually I have to manually
reset it.  When I come back up, I have fsck problems not only
with the Firewire partitions but also /usr and others.

You can say that I created the problem myself by manhandling the
little plug or by even trying to insert it and remove it hot.
(Nobody said I could, nobody said I couldn't.)  But I can do
this with Windows XP with no problems.  I also don't have any
problems caused by wiggling the apparently very sensitive cable
with XP.  I also didn't have the wiggling-cable problem under
4.X, although it's possible that mechanical degradation since
that time is at fault.  (The hanging mount problem did occur
under 4.X.)  I haven't posted this as a bug report because (a) I
haven't had much luck with bug reports sniff and (b) I'm sure
the answer would be fix your hardware.

Re: Quality of FreeBSD

2005-07-25 Thread J. Porter Clark
The VIA SATA onboard controller on my server works (and has worked)
flawlessly.  I have two identical 80G Maxtor SATA drives connected to it
and have had absolutely no problems and excellent performance.  Even my
Dell Inspirion 5100--with a few hiccups--has made great progress and is
mostly functional.

The ATA (definitely not SATA) controller on my Dell Latitude
C840 laptop has READ_DMA, WRITE_DMA problems, maybe 2-3 times
a day unless I turn off DMA.  It hangs for 3-4 seconds, logs
errors, then proceeds.  It isn't heavily loaded.  I tried using
Soren's ATA mkIII patches, and now it likes to panic about that
same frequency instead of hanging, so I'm going back to the
stock RELENG_5 config next chance I get.

It's one of these:

  atapci0: Intel ICH3 UDMA100 controller port 
0xbfa0-0xbfaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x 3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 31.1 on pci0

Your going back to stock RELENG_5 from what?

RELENG_5 with Soren's patches.

I have that very same laptop running FreeBSD from 5.0 up to 5.4 with
absolutely no DMA problems using it.
Note: I did exchange the HDD from 20 to 60GB, different brands.

Might be a clue.  My laptop has this:

  ad0: 19077MB IC25N020ATCS04 0 CA2OA72A at ata0-master UDMA100

Typical errors:
  Jul 23 15:00:33 auricle kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=20586350
  Jul 25 09:01:52 auricle kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=1731115

I had been running 4.X on this box with no DMA problems until I
put 5.3 on it many months ago.  It also boots Windows XP, and I
don't have any obvious disk problems with that.

Do you have trouble with the touchpad occasionally going nuts?
I had mine replaced, and it still does it.  With any OS I care
to boot.

I have some Firewire-related problems, too, but I won't go into
them right now.
