On the other hand Time Machine does take advantage of a kernel based
mechanism that watches file activity and does its best to take
advantage of that information to avoid scanning the filesystem when it
does a backup.

That's the context of the message thread that I pointed to (again, for
completeness) 

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-June/024730.html

The thread seemed relevant given the context of backup systems that
watch filesystem io.

There were a couple of threads about using kqueue or other FreeBSD
tools to build something like Mac OS X's Time Machine.  R1soft's
software sounds very similar.

The conclusion seemed to be that it'd be doable.

Here's a pointer to the start of one of the threads.

radeonhd does offer 2d acceleration, and 3-d is a work-in-progress,
with existing support for some of the newish cards.

You can get more info here:

  http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

Actually, the entire thing is still a work-in-progress, but the
community is supportive.

If you try to build from the git sources, you'll need to have the
devel/xorg-macros port/package installed for the autogen.sh step to
work.

In what way is SQLite not atomic?  The documentation, Atomic Commit In
SQLite, suggests that it is:

  http://www.sqlite.org/atomiccommit.html

I don't know that it supports fully ACID (atomic, consist, isolated,
durable) transactions or how it handles the various SQL standard
transaction isolation levels (Read Uncommitted, Read Committed,
Repeatable Read, Serializable) but I believe that updates are atomic
and that it does as well as any db (in the face of lying
synch. operations, etc...) to handle "non-optimal" stops.

I'm not sure about a "Picture CD", but I just double checked and I

And display (from the imagemagick suite) is able to show me one of

Has anyone worked with PhotoCD's on FreeBSD?

That's not it, 

  kern.securelevel is -1

and this is in /etc/rc.conf

  kern_securelevel_enable="NO".

Problem opening /dev/ad0{,s2} O_RDWR (also disklabel, grub) on 5.0.

2003-01-25 Thread George Hartzell

Hi

I'm trying to set up my first 5.0 machine, and I've run into a problem
right off of the bat.

The machine is a Dell OptiPlex GX110 that has three slices.  The first
contains Windows 2000, the second has historically contained FreeBSD
4.7,and the third contains Linux.  Since I use the system to test
stuff before I roll it onto my laptop, and since the laptop seems to
need it's original MBR in place so that suspend to disk works
properly, I've been running the Dell with GRUB installed in the
beginning of the freebsd slice (which is active) [(hd0,1) or
/dev/ad0s2] and it's been working great.

I tried to do a standard install from the 5.0 release ISO images.
After answering all of the standard questions and telling it to go
ahead, it spat out an error message as it was presumably setting up
the disk.  The screen redraws fast enough that I cant' catch the
message, but I've tried a couple of times and it's happened each
time.

When I tried to boot up, I get a message about an unbootable operating
system from the code in the MBR.  Booting from CD 2, interrupting the
loader, setting currdev=disk1s2a: and then "boot /boot/kernel/kernel"
brings the machine up just fine.

I tried building grub and it wouldn't admit that there was an (hd0,1).
Oddly enough, starting grub with --read-only made it able to see
(hd0,1).  Inside gdb, I noticed that an open of "/dev/ad0" with O_RDWR
was returning -1 and setting errno = 1 (EPERM, "Operation not
permitted").  Some playing with 'call open("/dev/ad0", 0)', 'call
open("/dev/ad0", 1)', and 'call open("/dev/ad0", 2)' made it clear
that anything that would write to the disk was failing.

I stepped back and started digging around with disklabel, and got some
results that seem similar.

  disklabel -B /dev/ad0s2 auto

should reinstall the boot stuff on that slice, but instead it says

  disklabel: /dev/ad0s2: Operation not permitted

and I get the same error message from 

  disklabel -W /dev/ad0s2.

So, my questions are:

  1) does this ring a bell with anyone?

  2) Is there something in 5.0 that requires special magic to write to
 the raw disk devices?

  3) Am I being a bonehead?

Seems un-necessary, since it alreay has a valid FAT32 filesystem on it
(which works and is mountable under Windows 2000 and Linux).

But, in the interest of trying everything:

With this in my /etc/fstab:

  /dev/da0c   /mnt/jumpdrive  msdos   rw,noauto   0   0

I get this when I try a mount:

  > sudo mount /mnt/jumpdrive
  msdos: /dev/da0c: Input/output error

And this in /var/log/messages:

  Jan 12 12:05:02 rosebud /kernel: da0: reading primary partition table: error reading 
fsbn 0

I've tried every device in /dev/da0*:

   /dev/da0 /dev/da0c /dev/da0f /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s1f
   /dev/da0s2 /dev/da0a /dev/da0d /dev/da0g /dev/da0s1a /dev/da0s1d
   /dev/da0s1g /dev/da0s3 /dev/da0b /dev/da0e /dev/da0h /dev/da0s1b
   /dev/da0s1e /dev/da0s1h /dev/da0s4

and get the same result with all of them.

I've attached my dmesg info below:

Can anyone either suggest a fix or a place to start looking?
