ad0: WARNING - removed from configuration (atacontrol and gmirror relationship?)

2007-11-27 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This just happened on my server:

Nov 22 03:21:11 sockeye kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries

Nov 22 03:21:11 sockeye kernel: ad0: WARNING - removed from configuration

Now the ad0 Master drive no longer exists:

What is the relationship between atacontrol and gmirror?


Why was the device removed completely?


Can I simply do this?  (want to be sure as this box is remote)

gmirror forget data

atacontrol attach ata0

gmirror insert data ad0

 IDE devices generally aren't hot swappable, so you're going to have to
 take
 the box down to replace the failed drive (that's why it detached from the
 bus).  Once you do that you can rebuild the gmirror.



I don't want to hot swap...I want to get the existing bad drive back into
the mirror and see how long it lasts before gmirror breaks again.

Can I use atacontrol to get the drive back in the system?

Thanks,
Andy

kernel dynamic references

2007-07-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

 I'm new to Freebsd and interested in system programming. So I'have picked up a 
task from the project ideas list to start with.
 (part of) the subject is : This task is to define and implement a general 
mechanism for tracking these references and use them in handling module unload 
requests.

So, to do that, I'have added an int dynrefs in struct module (kern_module.c), 
and functions to increase or decrease this count 
(module_add/remove_dynrefs(const char * modname) and module_updatedynrefs(const 
char * modname, int action) ) in kern_module.c.

 To avoid unload of a module which has a dynrefs count != 0  , I have modified 
module_unload(), so that unload is process only if dynrefs=0 or 
flag=LINKER_UNLOAD_FORCE.

 module_unload(module_t mod, int flags)
 {
int error;
-   error = MOD_EVENT(mod, MOD_QUIESCE);
+   MOD_SLOCK;
+   (mod-dynrefs == 0) ? (error = MOD_EVENT(mod, MOD_QUIESCE)) : (error = 
EPERM);
+   MOD_SUNLOCK;



 I have compiled and tested. with a 6-2 RELEASE. For the test I'have used two 
dummy module, one adding a dynrefs on the other.

 Any comment are welcome

first revision macbook pro

2007-02-24 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hello
i have a first revision macbook pro (core duo 2ghz, not core 2 duo!)
i have sort of a problem here
freebsd 6.2 and 7.0 current (5 feb.) don't really boot correctly
i get:
AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed!
panic y/n? [y]

sometimes i get around this problem if i press the power button in  
the exact right moment.

yesterday i built my own kernel without APIC and SMP support
at least now it boots 100% of the time
but i'd like to use both of my cores
network card doesn't work either...

Options for boot program

2006-06-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My way of operating is to multi-task almost all the time.  As
such, while working on one task, if another task on which I am also
working (but had to pause in it because some information or equipment
that the task needed wasn't available) of higher priority suddenly
became available/operable, then I would want to know about this so that
I could switch to the higher priority task.  Thus I want that the
computer should tell me that it needs input for one of its tasks, or
that some task is showing output that I may want to see (this usually
means error messages rather than standard output).  The best way for
the computer to tell me these things (i.e., to call my attention to
itself) is by sound (because the ear detects from all around, while the
eye detects only from in front of itself [so I would have to be looking
at the screen]).  Thus I can do other things and be called back to the
computer as needed.
Hence I want the boot program to sound a bell (possibly several
times with a short interval to wait between successive times, and
proceed immediately when I respond [and not wait for a set # of bells
to be sounded]) if it is waiting for input (say, as to which slice to
boot), and the amount of time (in seconds) that it waits for that
input, and if it doesn't get any input before this time period
expires, it boots the current default slice.  I want to set the length
of this time period (to wait before booting the current default slice).
I realize that other users of the boot program may want it to
behave differently than I do.  Consequently, each user should be able
to tell the boot program how he wants it to behave regarding these
matters, and other matters that some user may be able to describe.  A
programmer of the boot program should not impose his preferences on the
users of the boot program, but code in a way that allows them to get
their preferred operation from the boot program.  This can't be
easily/safely done by options in the call of the boot program because
the boot program isn't called (as we are familiar with it).  It is read
into  RAM  from the boot sector and then control is transferred to it,
and all this is done by the  BIOS  or a small program built into the
hardware of a computer.
One way to make the boot program aware of a user's preferences
is to store these preferences (options) in the boot sector, say the
last byte or two of that sector.  That way, this data will not have a
chance of being in the midst of code.  The setting of these bytes can
be done as part of the installation of the boot program, and/or have a
special patch program that patches just this area (even after
installation so if the owner wants to change his options after
installation, he can easily do so).


I would like to suggest some minor changes to the boot program
for  FreeBSD , mainly in the area of options that the user can set when
installing it.  Hopefully the space available for the boot program will
be big enough to allow these changes.  By the way, is there more space
available (e.g., more sectors on the platter/cylinder) for the boot
program?
Where can one get the code for the boot?  Also, how much space
is available for the boot code?
Also, can one add more slices (so there are more than 4) to the
system, and have ways of booting them.  Another thing that could be
done is to introduce logical slice (the term has been used before),
say by allowing more than 8 partitions per slice and allowing the user
to be able to specify which set of 5 to mount (and these 5 form a
logical slice).

The 'ln -s' command

2006-05-23 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried the 'ln -s' command in bothe 4.34.7  in a situation where it 
should fail and it did, but it still had a return/exit code of  0 , I think it 
should have been nonzero.  I tried 'ln -s  a  b' where the file  b  existed 
(and was a directory) and I wanted to create the file named  a  also pointing 
to it.  The correct form was 'ln -s  b  a'.

2006-04-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried out  FreeBSD 6.0  (sorry, I copied just part or
 uname -a  and I got something like LINUX  2.4.2 FreeBSD 6.0 -
Release #0: Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005  i686 i686 i386 GNU/LINUX)
and was surprised to find that things in the  echo  command didn't
work.  When I typed 
echoa\tb
I got  a\tb , no tab replacing the \t  Same for \n.
When I tried to type
echotabb
where  tab  stands for hitting the  tab  key, when I hit  tab  the
first time, nothing happened, when I hit it immediately afterward, I
got an  ls -A  listing.  I did manage to get a  tab  into the string
by typing something else there in place of  tab  and then editting
the command with  r  (the  replace  function) to put a  tab  in it.
When I hit  tab  similarly immediately after the command
prompt I got a question asking if I wanted to see the 424 (or was it
 242 ?) possibilities and the computer responded immediately after a
'y' or 'n' key was hit.
How could this happen?  The  echo  command (and  builtin , I
tried both [and I presume that  echo  by itself invokes the  builtin ])
should be standard?

2005-12-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I discovered the user operator in  UNIX , found it in the
book Essential System Administration by AEleen Frisch, and it has
features that I would like to use.  The book says (on page 131) that
this user exists on some  BSD  systems and it is used for back-ups
and such.  It is like  superuser  ( root )  in that it can access any
file regardless of the permission bits, but it operates readonly,
it cannot modify unless the permission bits allow it to do so.
I checked  /etc/passwd  and found that  operator  is a user
(in  FreeBSD 4.3 ).  When I tried it out, I found some directories
that  operator  couldn't enter and checked a few of those directories
and found that they gave absolutely no access to 'other' users,
explaining why  operator  couldn't enter those directories.  I feel
that this is an error since it doesn't allow  operator  to do its
stated task.  Similarly,  operator  cannot access plain files
unless the permission bits allow it to do so.
Please implement this user as the book lists it, this will
give the  FreeBSD  community a useful capability.  We could check
 LINUX  and see if they have have it properly implemented; if so
we could copy it making the necessary changes, an easier task.

 uname -a  for my system gives:
FreeBSD  4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001

 with the specified parameters that you fed DESTDIR.

the only way ? i thought UNIX-alikes were known for having always more

another option is to use cpdup to duplicate a fresh jail

also quite interesting imho is this :

http://www.the-labs.com/FreeBSD/JailTools/fbsd_jails.html

this webmin-module offers light-jails, read-only /usr mount, and
also jails installed in a single file

if you have that file you can easily reproduce new jails with a simple
cp-command

A problem with poll

2004-05-20 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,
I'm using a pipe to communicate between threads in the same process.
In fact, I've a thread waiting (using poll) for data available on some 
set of file descriptors.

From time to time I need to interrupt the poll call in order to add a 
new file descriptor. I do this with the pipe.

I add p[0] to the poll set and I write to p[1] when I want to interrupt 
the poll call.

The problem is that poll returns as expected, but the read on the file 
descriptor blocks.

Before the poll call, I set events flags to  POLLIN | POLLPRI. When poll 
returns, events is set to POLLIN [ POLLPRI, and revents is 0. Value 
returned by poll is the good number of file descriptors ready.

What I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Joe

There was a neat paper at BSDCon 2003 discussing running usermode FreeBSD
on Linux, and it talked about what would be necessary to make usermode
FreeBSD run on FreeBSD.  You can find the paper off the USENIX web site,
or perhaps via Google.  I think it was a relatively small set of changes.

patchlevels and FreeBSD source

2003-11-25 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,

Presently I install my servers using a automated pxeboot method. The NFS
image I choose is a copy of the freebsd 4.8-RELEASE cdrom. Post install I
cvsup the plain 4.8-RELEASE server to RELENG_4_8 (taking the patchlevel to
4.8-RELEASE-p15 for example) and then build world. The cvsup/buildworld
takes a long time. These steps are also difficult to automate. 

My question is: Is it possible that I update my cdrom image to the to
4.8-RELEASE-p15 before install ? In other words, are the patches that
released as source diffs also available as downloadable cd images?

If the answer is no, then can I patch the cdrom image myself or create a
new PATCHED cd image that I can then use for my NFS installs ?

Thanks for your replies.

Regards,
-ansh

SimpleTech USB HDD driver

2003-09-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just bought a 120GB SimpleTech USB harddrive and I want to use it with
FreeBSD 4.8 (the 
HDD is part number STI-U2F35/120). AFAIK, 4.8 doesn't support USB HDDs. Why
is this?

If it is possible to write the drivers for this, I've got a couple of
questions: 
Who does the USB mass storage drivers?
Where in the kernel do I need to look for information on writing them?
Is the drive supported in 5.1 (I'm not sure what chipset it's using)? If
so, how hard would it be 
to backport (or should I forget it and just upgrade to 5.1 with my lazy
ass)?
How badly am I going to screw up the HDD when my driver doesn't work? ;)

Hope there're some ideas out there :)

Thanks!

Devon

Why
 is this?

Did you try plugging it in?  If it really is a USB mass storage device, it
is supported and should just work.  All the necessary drivers are already
there in the GENERIC kernel.

Some devices might require 'quirks' to be added to the kernel to get them
to work with 4.8 or earlier, but I think even this requirement has mostly
gone away in 4.9.

You might want to take a look at Dan Pelleg's DaemonNews article:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200305/cfmount.html.  It talks about CF devices
but the part dealing with USB should also apply to disks.

Scott

Hey Scott,

I just bought the thing and I'm at work, so I haven't had a chance to try
it out yet. I've sent a 
message to the SimpleTech support people... hopefully they're OSS friendly.
I'll give more 
information as I have it. I was under the impression though that USB HDDs
were unsupported 
in RELENG_4; I may be totally off base, in which case I apologize for
sending unnecessary 
emails to the list.

Thanks for the link to the article; I'll let you know about my
sucesses/failures.

HZ = 1000 slows down application

2003-09-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
 
I am expertmenting with kernel device polling on a 4.8-RELEASE system.
 
The application I am running is a traffic pumping application that sits in
an infinite while loop. At the time of this test it was doing 6Mbps in and
5Mbps out traffic. CPU usage is 40% without polling enabled, typical CPU
usage is roughly 1/3 user, 1/3 system and 1/3 interrupt. I am using the fxp
driver.

I customized my kernel with HZ=1000 and enabled polling via sysctl...CPU
usage dropped from 40% to 30%. Great so far.

But now I noticed that my application is occassionally doing slower
iterations. Average iteration time used to be 0.2 ms without polling
enabled. With the device polling changes, the average time is still around
the same, but once every few minutes the application sees iterations that
are 3.3 seconds (*seconds*, not a typo) long. 

This seems to happen as soon as I use the kernel with HZ=1000. Enabling or
disabling device polling does not seem to make any difference to this
behavior. I am trying to understand why there seem to be a few really long
iterations. Could it happen that the application does not get any CPU for
that long? Seems very counter intuitive that higher HZ should cause this. 

Could anyone shed any light on what is happening ?

Thanks,
-ansh

Re: pppoe - nmap - No buffer space available

2003-09-17 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi terry,

i can corroborate this problem, with 4.x AND 5.x, without beeing the network
interface down. We are also using a pppoe link outsides, and i can do a ping
in parallel, which is working continously, so the tun0 stays online.

My theorie is, that he keeps the sockets open in state TIME_WAIT, and this
takes too long for the fast nmap scans.

 Your interface is down.  This happens all the time.
 
 If you use PPP on a dialup modem with a normal net connection,
 and unplug the modem while you are doing a ping, you will see
 the same thing.
 
 The easiest fix is don't send packets out routes that transit
 interfaces which are not up.

merchant in South Africa before his untimely death.
After his business trip to Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire, to
negotiate on a cocoa business. A week after he cane
back from Abidjan, he was assassinated by unknown
assassins. but my HUSBAND died after five days in
hospital, on that faithful afternoon. I didn´t know
that my HUSBAND was going to leave me . before he gave
up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to
die. He my HUSBAND, (may his soul rest in 
perfect peace) he disclose to me that he deposited and
the sum of $18.500.000.00 US dollars(Eigteen million
Five hundred thousand dollars) in Security Company
here in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire . 

That the money was meant for his cocoa business he
wanted to invest in Abidjan - Cote d´Ivoire. Though,
according to my HUSBAND he deposited the money in a
trunk box, but declared it as Ivory, and family
belonging. He single handed me the key of the box and
the Deposit Certificate, and instructed me to seek
for a life time investment abroad. Now I have
succeeded in locating the security company here in
Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire and also confirmed the item
with most honest and confidentiality . Now I am
soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this
money out from Abidjan to your account abroad so that
we should invest it in any lucrative business in your
country. Because this is my only hope in life. 

Now, I am here with my only son john .
Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can
discuss the modalities of this transaction. 

If this proposal is acceptable, please kindly contact
me through e-mail address immediately for more
discussion. Please don´t hesitate to send me message
on the receipt of this mail. 

Thanks for your kind attention and mutual
understanding . 

Best regards

Good day,

I am obliged to confide in you with the hope that you will understand
my plight and need of assistance. I got your address from the net and
after praying for God´s guidance, decided to contact you.
I am Mariam  Bangura, daughter of late Mr John Bangura of Sierra Leone
who was killed by the Sierra Leone's rebel forces on the 24th of
December,1999 in my country Sierra Leone.
When he was still alive, he deposited one trunk box containing the sum
of USD$10 million dollars in cash (Ten Million dollars). with a private
security and safe deposit company here in Abidjan Cote d´Ivoire.
This
money was made from the sell of Gold and Diamond by my mother and she
have already decided to use this money for future investment of the
family.
Recently, I rushed down to Abidjan after being able to locate where my
late father kept the depository Agreement made between himself and the
security company. I have confirmed from the security company that the
consignment is in their custody, when I demanded for the release of the
consignment to me in my capacity of being the daughter of Mr Bangura,
the depositor of the consignment, I was told that in the absence of my
father, the only person that can demand for the release of the
consignment is my late father´s foreign partner on whose behalf the
consignment was deposited.
Meanwhile, my father have instructed me that in the case of his death,
that I should look for a trusted foreigner who can assist me to move
out this money from Côte d´Ivoire immediately for investment .

Based on this , I solicit for your assistance to transfer this fund
into your Account, but I will demand for the following requirement:

(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where
this fund will be transferred to in your country after  retrieving the
box containing the money from the custody of the security company.

(2) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable business venture
that would not require much technical expertise in your country where
part of this fund will be invested?

  I am a Christian and I will please, want you to handle this
transaction based on the trust I have established on you.
For your assistance in this transaction, I have decided to compensate
you with 10 percent of the total amount at the end of this business.
The security of this business is very important to me and as such, I
would like you to keep this business very confidential.
I shall expect an early response from you.
Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely,
Mariam Bangura

Subject: Why did FreeBSD fail?


Gentlemen, it's time to explain why FreeBSD is such a
failure.

In the following lines, David O'Brien explains why 5.0
is such a POS...

@motminh -current is a fucking piece of shit right
now.

@Keltia hi motminh 
 gordont motminh: no, it's just shitty for you, I
just updated fine
@motminh gordont:  try using mucho scsi disks + IPFW

@motminh gordont:  isp(4) is shit.
@motminh gordont:  Oh, and on an SMP box
@motminh gordont:  we haven't been stable since June
27th (just before ipfw2 hit).
* motminh *just* got a ffs block not freed panic with
an hour old kernel.
 gordont motminh: hmm, well I can't attest for isp
or ipfw, but my smp box works fine
@motminh gordont:  if I use an isp controller I
can't even make it to single user
@motminh gordont:  you have a single ide disk in it?
@motminh gordont:  please do.
@motminh gordont:  we have noone (few) stress
testing -current right now.
@motminh for many the test is a basic PC and make
world.
 gordont motminh: I have to get FC down to my EMC
box first though
@motminh I hear more and more developers that only
have a -current shitbox to make sure something
compiles that was developed on -stable before they
commit it to -current.
 gordont motminh: well, I'm proud to say my desktop
at work is running -CURRENT
@motminh Keltia:  awake?
@Keltia motminh: yes
@motminh Keltia:  are you running -current on your
SMP box?
@Keltia motminh: I'm afraid not
@motminh Keltia:  have you even seen the launching
CPU #1 message get fucked up in the middle of  SCSI
probe output?
@Keltia motminh: I think I have seen it yes
@motminh anordby:  you have to `make depend' first.
@motminh anordby:  1/2 ass commits broke building
kernels
@anordby motminh: hrrm ok
@anordby motminh: i have a -current testing box that
i intend to make rebuild world+kernel every night..
automatically from pxe installs. :)
@Keltia motminh: still there ?
@motminh 7ep
@motminh Keltia:  my box hasn't been stable enough
@motminh Keltia:  the /bin/sh bug that fubar'ed |'s
kept me from build many ports
@Keltia motminh: when you'll be able to try gcc33,
see my message in -current

-

As you see, -CURRENT has been totally broken for
almost two months now. And don't get me started on
-STABLE. FreeBSD 4.x is such a joke... enterprise
ready my ass!

The other big problem that the FreeBSD project faces
is that a lot of developers prefer to waste time
flaming instead of coding. Mike Smith knew that,
that's why he left. Jordan Hubbard is an asshole btw.

As always, some greetings...

Juli Mallett, sorry for the typo :)
David O'Brien, you're a great hacker, but a real
asshole
Matt Dillon, I had a lot of respect for you until you
replied to the Pythonstein troll, you SUCK
Greg Lehey, MORON, don't feed the trolls!
Alfred Perlstein, drunktard
Hiten Pandya, IMBECILE
Bosko Milekic, if I ever meet you, I'll kick your ass!
Paul Saab, asshole
Bill Fumerola, FUCK YOU
Will Andrews, I suggest you join a real project
Diane Bruce, the reason I never mentioned you is that
you're so fucking ugly I felt sorry for you :)

Yours,
Mosko

Ora, un po' di matematica. Il totale della vincita in questo caso, dove non
si ha il pieno potenziale di giocatori, poiche` si presume che soltanto la
meta` della meta` della meta`, ecc. Partecipi, e` il seguente:
Per il report numero 1: 10 richieste = 10 x 5 euro = 50 euro = 100.000 lire

1.111.100.000 di lire 
Questo è il minimo che ognuno vincerà poichè è stato ormai sperimentato e
testato negli anni scorsi: ma se ognuno spedisce piu` di 20 e-mail, e cosi`
gli altri partecipanti, la vincita avrà proporzioni stratosferiche che
nemmeno potete immaginarvi, ma e` possibile allo stesso tempo, senza dubbio,

te, se hai il tempo e la voglia di spedire e-mail a persone che conosci, o
se trovi indirizzi e-mail su vari siti web gratuiti: non farai altro che
incrementare il valore della tua vincita. Quando parliamo di una vincita di
1.5 - 2 miliardi di lire ogni 6 settimane, ci riferiamo ad una vincita media
(dati forniti dalle varie trasmissioni televisive che hanno fatto ricerche
fra I numerosi partecipanti e redatto delle statistiche) fra tutti I

La media di e-mail spedite e` di 5.4 a persona. Ecco perchè possiamo parlare
di una vincita facile, poche` l'unica cosa da fare e` aprire la propria

for voting.The basic principle is that by using your brain, 
you can increase your mental fitness by exersing it, just as you
do physical muscles.

Mind Media's IQ Builder and thinkFast software featured on 
brain.com work along these principles. They both give you a 
variety of mental tests, which focus on a spectrum of mental 
abilities. By increasing the difficulty over trials, you build 
mental muscle.
 
Now thinkFast has become an online application and added features, 
which take the idea of mental fitness workouts further.
 
ThinkFast is the perfect mind-mini gym and allows you to measure 
and save your improvements online. It works you out on a wide 
variety of mental skills. The program even includes your own 
Personal Tutor who coaches you to greater mental heights. 
 
3.http://www.goalpro.com/index.cfm?ID=50571 I've written a lot in 
June and July about GoalPro - which I consider one of the most 
helpful software programs I've used to help me organize for 
success.  I'm featuring it here again because you've got to look 
around the site to find that in addition to the software version, 
there's an online version of GoalPro you can purchase as a 
subscription which allows anyone including Mac and Linux users to 
use this significant program. Here's what I wrote in June:
 
The people who publish GoalPro 5.0 calls it The most effective 
success management application available and the funny thing is -
- they may be right! GoalPro software in tandem with Microsoft 
Outlook is the combo that I use. But you don't have to use GoalPro

art and are offering GoalPro with most of its features intact 
as an online application. So Macintosh and Linux users as well as 
anyone who has access to the web can begin using GoalPro right 
now.
 
What does the program do? Well it's hard to describe all of what 
it does briefly and so next month this publication will have a 
feature length review of GoalPro. In short, it guides you through 
the process of listing and clarifying your most important life 
objectives.  You list a set of concrete goals to reach each of 
these objectives and also create short term tasks for reaching the 
objectives and goals. 
 
The program not only helps you create your success tree of 
objectives, goals and tasks, it sets up a regular daily and 
separate weekend routine where you visit these lists and determine 
how you are doing. This is called Success Coach and it's pretty 
darn useful. There's even a past-due management system where 
people who set too many tasks or procrastinate can evaluate and 
reschedule missed deadlines. Download a free thirty-day trial - -
you might want to keep using it -- I did.

 Finally, we found the proper solution. Only the proper reset was 
 needed. Inside of the unit, close to the front panel there is an 8 
 position DIP switch. The uppermost switch should change the position 
 and then the reset button on the front panel should be pressed. The 
 unit reset is finalized by turning the unit off, then DIP switch 
 should be pressed into the initial position and when you switch the 
 unit on, everything is OK.
 Thank you for all advises and best regards

Re. The Foundation [was Re: FreeBSD Mall now BSDCentral]

2001-07-08 Thread Julian Stacey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hackers, CC [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wind River might be cautious  slow when considering donating the
FreeBSD trademark to a FreeBSD Foundation controlled by a board of
just 3 directors, that even FreeBSD people are just getting to know
of,  have yet to evaluate as `The Foundation'.

Wind River might find it easier  quicker to decide to donate the
trademark to the foundation, if the foundation comprised not just
3 self appointed directors, but perhaps included at least 3 non
executive directors on their board.  Adding 3 non-execs might
increase the assurance of others too, not just WR.  BOD could invite
core to nominate the first few that BOD appoint.  The non execs
could retire by chronological rotation, as real directors do.

As I recall FreeBSD Inc (ie jkh  dg, a team of 2) once held the
trademark, then it moved to Walnut, then BSDi, then Wind River. If
DEC can be bought by Compaq,  British Telecom can run into financial
trouble, I see no reason to believe Wind River to be a magic safe
haven, but equally, FreeBSD Foundation with just 3 on the board,
has merely a 50% greater attraction as a safe haven run by 3 FreeBSD
trustees, than FreeBSD Inc. had with a team of 2.  Safety in numbers:
If BOD want just 3 execs to make operations easy, fine, _But_ if
BOD want us to be broadly reaasured that they will be a safe haven
for FreeBSD assets such as the trademark, It'd look much better if
BOD appointed some non-execs to their board, purely in a
supervisory/trustee, non-exec role.

The sooner BOD appoint a handfull of non-execs, some nominated by core,
the sooner it'll be easy to encourage Wind River to donate the trademark,
before who knows what might happen at, to, or within Wind River ?

 I have a bunch of old floppy disks with some text files I'd like to
 recover.  Many of them have errors and are unreadable past a certain point
 in the disk.  Others I can't read from at all.
 
 The ones I can't read, period, are all 1.44MB-size floppies.  I've tried
 dd'ing from /dev/fd0c, /dev/fd0.1440, etc., but exits with Input/Output
 Error before copying anything.
 
 The kernel prints:
 
 fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-31 (ST0 40abnrml ST1 1no_am ST2 0
 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1)
 
 
 I've been more successful reading 720K floppies from /dev/fd0.720, but
 many of them have errors that stop dd in its tracks, yielding another
 Input/Output error.
 
 The kernel prints:
 
 fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 1503 of 1488-1503 (ST0 44abnrml,top_head
 ST1 20bad_crc ST2 20bad_crc cyl 41 hd 1 sec 10)
 
 
 Since the files on the disks are just text, all I want to do is to be able
 to extract as many of the bits on the disk as possible, even if some of
 the bits are wrong, and then run strings over it and sort out the
 content.  I've looked at the floppy driver source and it seems to be
 incredibly low-level, i.e. it turns the drive motor on and off, even.  Can
 someone familiar with the driver give me some pointers as to what I'd have
 to modify to let it 1) read those 1.44MB disks, and 2) tolerate data
 errors?

I have a program that will rescue your data !
It runs on DOS-3.2  FreeBSD-any BUT the rescue component only runs on DOS
(however at least you can compile  play with it on BSD to get used to it).

I have no idea if the FreeBSD ports DOS emulators allow access to floppy
hardware or not ?  If not, the other options are:
-  to boot with DOS to run my program,
-  or modify the FreeBSD fd driver to pass the buffer on error.

By chance my program was just being discussed on another list, Here's extracts:

 It's possible to recover most text data from bad floppies by repeat

 I wrote a program that does that in ~87

 (The recover part of the program's now larger functionality runs
 only on DOS though, not on Unix, as DOS passes filled buffers back
 even when read() returns CRC error, whereas FreeBSD discards the
 buffer content on error.

 Arranging for a `read track' functionality in the FreeBSD floppy
 driver should be possible.  This will return you the entire /bit/
 contents of the track, no CRC checks c.  Only the first sector ID
 will be synchronized, the remainder of the track is returned as it
 appears on the floppy; you need to manually bit-dealign and perhaps
 bit-reverse the remaining data.
-

Hi Joerg,
Thanks,
Doing a track was what Greg L suggested to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
however that sounds like more work,  not optimal maybe ?
In 1987 with DOS I was lucky, I did a read() on each sector, copied each
sector with a good CRC to hard disc,  only repeat tried
bad floppy sectors, doing a statistical average of each bit,
(if none of the reads gave me a good CRC).
(I also did multi sectors initially, then dropped to single sectors on error).
To avoid head (*) wear  increase chance of a good CRC to the max,
I'd prefer to stick to doing single sector seeks  reads, not tracks.
(*) Forget media wear: I reccomend anyone who uses my valid.c
to read odd sectors a few hundred/thousand times off already bad media,
to discard media after reading :-) 
In an ideal world with lots of free time ;-) Brian Julian or Joerg 
would extend src/sys/isa/fd.c to support

Yes, basically most of the performance problems you're seeing on FreeBSD

You might want to see if you can link mysql against the linuxthreads

Re: Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The REAL story!

2001-01-29 Thread Julian Stacey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 A few months ago someone suggested that all binary attachments should be
 stripped from freebsd-hackers mail. I believe it is still a very good idea,
 and patches tend to be posted as text anyway.

Good Idea.

We should'nt filter out all mail with MIME enclosures, as occasionally MIME 
enclosures are validly used on FreeBSD lists, But to list a few WIBNIs:
(WIBNI = Woundn't It Be Nice If )

We could bounce/kill all postings containing MIME with .exe spam.
 (We have uuencode in the rare event we need to broadcast a binary.)

We could bounce/kill postings containing MIME with .doc enclosures, stopping:
 more spam  EG non Unix oriented people dumping .doc resumes on jobs@freebsd.
 OK, it would also reject .doc format job adverts, some may not like that,
 but if a company is so uncaring/incompetent they can't even reformat a
 bounced .doc in ascii or some public format, I'm not interested.

We could also bounce/kill postings containing 
Content-Type: text/html; charset=big5
 other non latin fonts, as we all use latin fonts on freebsd lists,
it being the only one we all understand.  Sure some people set 
charset=big5
by mistake ( then send ascii anyway),  they are discussing real FreeBSD
issues, but it'd cut spam from non latin charset originators.

We could also bounce/kill postings containing possibly auto-load HREFs ?
(Do they exist as such ? I got one direct, not from a BSD list, 
looks rather innocuous initially, starting:

Re: One thing linux does better than FreeBSD...

2001-01-17 Thread Julian Stacey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BTW, for anyone wanting to start a fresh similar thread, we have
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but as it's here for now:

"Ras-Sol" wrote:
 Am I the only one who thinks that he's just too cute?
 I mean- I view FreeBSD as a potent force that follows it's directives with
 razorlike precision and bleeding speed.
 Somehow this is not embodied by a "cute" daemon.
 I mean he IS a daemon!
 Come on!
 I've got a few GD friends, I'll sic them to work on a MEANER version...

We can have multiple T shirts: each can wear what he feels goes well locally,
but please let's not use a meaner Chuck for general use EG CDs.

A plump penguin gives no offense (herrings excepted ?), but a
Daemon/Demon/Devil is in comparison a bit of a marketing own goal.
We're stuck with it now (from processes,  promoting BSD with Chuck
so long); most non BSD people dont care, but some react negatively,
 sharpening Chuck would be a deterent to some non BSD potential
converts.  

A cdrom burner software package that runs on MS/Wincrap, has a `sharp'
red demon on the box holding a bolt of lightning.  At first glance it
looks as if it might be a BSD product, thankfully it's not:  A daemon like
that would be an impediment at customer presentations, when telling people
we intend to install BSD (CD in hand, Chuck prominent).

A graphic of a daemon trident stuck in a penquin would alienate some Linux
people, but a graphic of a penguin  a Chuck co-operating, jointly
pulling out a fishing net, full of greenback fish labeled
"MS" might make a good poster for joint marketing/promotion.

Presumably it's cheaper to manufacture stuffed penguin mascots,
than Chuck's ? no ears, no real leg, no trident, ... 
 easier to prop up on exhibition stands without falling over.
Penguin mascot has enough advantages over Chuck already !

 had a program that would read the entire disk and keep a list/bitmap of

 P.S.  Basically what I want at the end of the day, disk willing, is

 I want this so I can then dump it to tape.  I can't run dump directly
 since it hits those bad blocks and whines.

I have 2 C programs you might like to extend/ plunder `for parts' :-)

 valid.1 Makefile
http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/slice/slice.c
 slice.1 Makefile
valid:
  rescues (or writes) arbitrary (or all) sectors of a floppy,
  but can also be given the name of other devices eg hard disc  normal files.
  It works best on dos ! as dos returns the buffer even if there's a crc error,
  If someone hacked the bsd kernel to return the read() buffer even on error,
  it'd make it equally usefull to rescue sectors on bsd too.
slice:
  rescue data off bad tapes with intermittent drivers, first written to run on 
  BSD4.2 nsc32016, also runs on freebsd of course.
