Re: Fuse on FreeBSD 9.2
There's already a backport which can be found here: http://people.freebsd.org/~flo/fusefs-kmod.tar.bz2 1. Download, untar and replace your existing sysutils/fusefs-kmod port with it. Open the Makefile and add NO_STAGE= yes to it. 2. cd sysutils/fusefs-kmod ; make makesum ; make deinstall reinstall clean 4. Rebuild sysutils/fusefs-libs and all fuse filesystems (don't know if that's necessary but it doesn't hurt either). I've been running with this kernel module on FreeBSD 9-STABLE, 9.1 and 9.2 four about one year without any problem. I don't know why flo@ never committed his work.

I think the fix is the new from-scratch fuse module in FreeBSD 10, which in my experience works flawlessly. Perhaps you should instead see if someone is willing to backport that fuse module to 9.x? ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org -- Homepage: www.yamagi.org XMPP: yam...@yamagi.org GnuPG/GPG: 0xEFBCCBCB ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I've just rsynced ~25GB data from an smbnetfs mount to zfs and back to the smbnetfs mount. No problems so far.

Re: Fwd: Intel microcode update
Hi, yes the microcode file provided by Intel is incompatible with FreeBSD. You'll need to split it into individual files for each CPU. I vaguely remeber that there was a script or something like that bundled with one of the ports. Nevertheless attached is a small C program which does the same. It's not written by me, I just found it somewhere on the web. Ciao, Yamagi On Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:48:34 +0100 kaltheat kalth...@googlemail.com wrote: Hopefully some hacker could help me ...

But last mentioned port is not up-to-date anymore. I searched Intel's webpages for microcode updates and found archives for Linux containing one single microcode.dat file. Could someone tell me if that file is compatible with FreeBSD? As devcpu-data installs .fw files it might be proper to convert/compile microcode.dat in some way. How?

Re: SMP Version of tar
On Mon, 1 Oct 2012 22:16:53 -0700 Tim Kientzle t...@kientzle.com wrote: There are a few different parallel command-line compressors and decompressors in ports; experiment a lot (with large files being read from and/or written to disk) and see what the real effect is. In particular, some decompression algorithms are actually faster than memcpy() when run on a single processor. Parallelizing such algorithms is not likely to help much in the real world. The two popular algorithms I would expect to benefit most are bzip2 compression and lzma compression (targeting xz or lzip format). For decompression, bzip2 is block-oriented so fits SMP pretty naturally. Other popular algorithms are stream-oriented and less amenable to parallelization. Take a careful look at pbzip2, which is a parallelized bzip2/bunzip2 implementation that's already under a BSD license. You should be able to get a lot of ideas about how to implement a parallel compression algorithm. Better yet, you might be able to reuse a lot of the existing pbzip2 code. Mark Adler's pigz is also worth studying. It's also license-friendly, and is built on top of regular zlib, which is a nice technique when it's feasible. Just a small note: There's a parallel implementation of xz called pixz. It's build atop of liblzma and libarchiv and stands under a BSD style license. See: https://github.com/vasi/pixz Maybe it's possible to reuse most of the code. -- Homepage: www.yamagi.org XMPP: yam...@yamagi.org GnuPG/GPG: 0xEFBCCBCB pgp4AZtefgufA.pgp Description: PGP signature
