Re: Vinum & U320 SCSI, slower than UDMA100 IDE ?

I know it's not the most sophisticated test, but at least it shows that on the IDE disk, this 'test' took 24 seconds to complete. On the RAID10 array it took a whopping 73 seconds to complete. I would understand if the RAID10 array was as fast as IDE, or faster, but i'm a bit amazed by these results. The RAID10 array was built on 4x 36.7gb Ultra320 SCSI disks, connected to an Adaptec 39320D Ultra320 SCSI adapter, which is a PCI-X card, configured in a PCI-X slot. Try creating the same vinum set using 4 ATA100 disks and see what happens when compared to your UeberSCSI vinum set...

Avaya Wireless Networking Problems
I am a Linux user trying Freebsd. I've installed 5.1 on two machines, one of shich is connected to a wireless network through a TI pci cardbus adapator and an Avaya Silver Wireless Network Card. The card is recognised, the configuration settings appear to be correct but ifconfig -a shows that there is "no carrier". I suspect that the problem may be interrupt-related, so the next thing I will try is to check the interrupt settings in Linux and force the same in NetBSD (I don't know how to achieve this yet but imagine it will be in the documentation somewhere). What I would apprciate is some advice as to best method to troubleshoot this problem and correct it. I must add that I like what I see of FreeBSD so far. Installation was painless and I like the Ports system. I don't know if I will like it so much that I replace my Debian unstable, but time will tell. Thanks in advance for any assistance. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, the appropriate output from dmesg would help. It's possible that it's an interrupt problem, but we haven't seen too many of them lately. If you're showing up as wi0 (presumably), then probably it's not an interrupt issue. Do you have the other settings set up correctly? ifconfig output and information about your wireless infrastructure would help.

A few other things that can done to possibly help include turning on frame drop and if your gfx card supports xv use that too. The xv should be used by defualt thought unless the config file has been changed. Not sure about that card thought. Xine also may be worth looking into.

bsd 5.1 video install
I'm very happy to have moved my entire network to BSD 5.1. The installation was a breeze. I have only one comment and that is this: in 1999 when I installed first Red Hat 5.0 and then 5.2, I was required to select my video card from a list and to find a set of specifications that matched my monitor unless its name was on the list. By the time I changed to Mandrake 6.5 a short while later, that issue had been resolved and until this installation I had never again been asked any questions of any kind about hardware devices. It seems to me that this is your weakest point. I have almost zero use for KDE. I wanted it mainly to burn CDs using their tools. I'm a command line person, so it's not any inconvenience on a day to day basis, but until I can either buy a new monitor so I have the necessary data to answer your inquiries, or until I make a lucky guess, I will not be able to configure an X server and that is truly unfortunate in the year 2003.

What should I do? Thank you for your support. The boot.flp image is an all-in-one image. You can use it with a 2.88Mb floppy drive, if you have such a thing, but generally nowadays it's intended for building into certain types of bootable CD-Rom.

Please wrap your messages at 72 chars. Well, it's important to realize that currently, FreeBSD is designed to be mostly a server operating system. Although there are efforts to increase its viability on the desktop, it's not going to be the next Mac OS X anytime soon. That's not to say you *can't* use it as a desktop system... I do, but I also realize that there are going to be some hurdles and limitations along the way. Thus, FreeBSD has very little in the way of automatic hardware detection. Regarding your monitor, all you really have to do is find the manual for it and tell X what the horizontal and vertical sync ranges are. You could probably even find this information on the web. (I think X now has a way to automatically query the monitor for the sync ranges, anybody want to clue me in on this?) Comparing FreeBSD to your previous Red Hat and Mandrake experiences is a whole apples and oranges issue unto itself. The Red Hat and Mandrake Linux distributions are great for some things, FreeBSD is great for others. Your job is to figure out what you want your operating system to do and then pick whichever one does it the best.

First of all, I presume you really used one line as /usr/sbin/config /root/kernels/MYKERNEL Not two separate command lines as it appears in your message. Secondly, did you make your copy of GENERIC in to the same directory as GENERIC?That is the best idea. Third, on any of the FreeBSD systems I have worked on there is no /root/kernels directory. (If this is something new with 5.x I am off on this as I haven't built a 5.x yet) The kernel config files are in: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (or did you set up some homebrew link?) So, I would expect that there is a file: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL and the best way to run things is to cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL(make whatever changes you need and write+exit vi) /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make [make install] Only if you want the present kernel replaced Now if you have CVSUPed and etc, then you will want to follow those instructions instead of merely building a kernel.

Re: Samba server freezes
> What might be the reasons for this behaviour? - I can't see any > error messages on the screen. You may need to change the log level in smb.conf to catch more information. It's also very difficult to impossible to help much without at least samba and FreeBSD versions. What's in your smb and nmb logs? What hardware? What does your smb.conf look like? I'm currently running samba (2.2.x) under 4.9-STABLE and I'm not seeing this kind of lockup. There are a lot of system jobs set off by cron early in the morning by default and you may have a hardware problem that doesn't show up until the load is heavy, or a resource problem that only occurs under heavy load. Are you running backups over the network? Have you tried copying large files (more than 1GB) to see if there are problems? What does "netstat -i" show - should be zero errors. I use an old NetWare utility called TESTNET.EXE which runs in a DOS box on a PC and writes arbitrarily large sequential files to any drive. Earlier combinations of samba and FreeBSD had problems with "oplocks" which caused connections to crash, but that hasn't been a problem for years at this point. > Would it make sense to set up a cron job that does a reboot in > the early morning?

boot loader won't boot freebsd slice
The hard disk in my laptop went bad so I just dropped in a new one and did a standard install, putting a small DOS partition at the beginning on which to install the thinkpad bios configuration utility. For some reason the freebsd bootloader will boot DOS on the first slice, but only beeps when I try to boot to the FreeBSD slice. It would seem that the bootloader isn't aware that there is any bootable OS at that slice, like maybe the bootblocks on that slice are missing or incorrect. I have already tried a complete reinstall and playing around with marking slices as active and not. I know that the slice is has a valid OS because I can use the install disks to boot to that slice. I have also tried using the 'packet' option on boot0cfg to no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions?

4.9 ATA hangs with 2 ata drives
I've got both 4.9 and 5.1 loaded on my new ASUS A7N8X Deluxe with two 160Gb disks on the primary ATA controller. 5.1 does much better handling both ATA disks. When I run 4.9 with the second disk connected, it hangs during kernel boot after the message: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices I've seen what looks like similar problems in the archives (e.g., http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?188200406.20031109073901). It seems to happen on various motherboards and disk configurations. I wanted to provide another datapoint for configurations. My 4.9 came from the CD image downloaded from the ftp site last week (weds). 5.1 came from the subscription CD. The questions are: 1. Has anyone gotten a similar configuration working on 4.9? 2.

No, looking closer I see that with perl versions less than 5.008, it just configures without perl. Perl isn't necessary to gaim at all.

RE: Samba server freezes
Hi Peter: I had the same problems with a machine running Samba Version 2.2.6pre2. I am using fbsd 4.7. The box would just hang completely. I could only reset the power to get a response. The problem began after I started using a windows box as a router/gateway/proxy. I also use DHCPD & think that was causing the problem. The windows box was trying to DHCP up but it had a static address on the inside (it seemed like the outside/internet interface was asking the inside/LAN interface for an IP. Somehow I think that was killing my freebsd server. I had repeated requests in my dhcpd log & it seemed that all my leases were used up but no hosts were connected to the network that were dynamic... Before I started using the windows box as my gateway, I had uptimes close to 6 months with my samba freebsd box. It is a pentium 133 with 64 MB RAM. I recompiled my kernel to test the hardware & found no problems. They (unix geeks) say that recompiling is a perfect hardware test for memory & CPU, etc. You may want to try this. This will simulate heavy load on the box & help discover any flaky hardware. Well, the problem went away as mysteriously as it started. I updated my DHCPD server to the latest version that ISC was offering & I made sure my ISA windows server was not asking for dhcp on the internal network. My box has been running steadily for 30 days now. Probably, it was my error on misconfiguring the stupid windoze server. I think I may have had too many file descriptors opened or something, but I don't know enough about that to determine the validity. I probably needed to get a core dump, but am not sure how to turn that feature on or where to look. The system & samba logs indicated no problems before the thing stopped responding. Best of luck!

network security sysctl mib's
The sysctl.conf file contains MIB's to change the default setting of internal options of the kernel at boot up time. I have found these MIB's when I display all the sysctl's. These deal with how packets entering the FBSD system are handled by default. There are no man info on any MIB's. I an looking for an description of what these do and why I would want to turn them on. There must be some network security reason or problem that these address or they would not have been created in the first place. Are these MIB's only intended to be used on FBSD systems that do not have firewalls? When do these MIB's get control in the kernel, as they relate to IPFW or IPFILTER firewall seeing the packets? [IE: do they all process against the packet before the packet is handed off to the firewall or after the firewall has done it's thing and hands the packet back to the kernel?]. Since these are network security MIB's why are they not documented someplace?

Re: Network Card
Sirs, I hope this is the place I can ask a question. I'm trying to setup FreeBSD on a machine. It wouldn't even boot from CD to install because of a network card error. I bought another network card (Netgear model FA311) and it seemed to work. At least I was able to install FreeBSD. Upon further inspection, after installation and re-boot, I noticed that this card was also getting and error. The following three lines are what I get: sis0: at device 13.0 on pci0 sis0: couldn't map ports/memory device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6 I admit that I am VERY new to the Unix/Linux stuff. I know the card fails, but why? It's new and from the above three lines I am unable to find any kind of help to answer the question.

So I suppose I'll continue to use GRUB, but I'm a little confused as to why the FreeBSD boot0 program isn't working. It was previously working on this same laptop with a different hard disk.

Re: Solved [Re: delete first partition XP and reformat as ufs -> kernel not found]
Sorry for replying again, but I succeed to press "send" while editing the previous reply :((( (press tab + space -> send, ooops) I hope I included all the relevant information in my previous reply. To finish, I was wondering if I can specify in boot2 prompt which is the correct slice&partition to use for booting. If my assumptions are correct, in expression 0:ad(0,a)/kernel ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | - the path inside the partition | | | | | | | - partition in slice | | | | | - ??? is this the slice #, drive # ??? | - refers to driver - refers to the disk unit If no RTFM is available, point me to the source files. I am not familiar with the FreeBSD kernel sources, but I'll have no problem reading some code. Thank you again, /Dorin. PS2. Does anybody has a clue why the FreeBSD associates the slice # 2 (i.e. ad0s2) for the PT entry 4? Initially, I had MBR PT: ad0s1 XP - not used, reserved space - not used, reserved space ad0s2 FreeBSD (swap, /) I have installed Debian swap and / in entries 2 and 3, and the FreeBSD associated the (correct) numbers: ad0s1 XP ad0s2 Debian swap ad0s3 Debian / ad0s4 FreeBSD (swap, /) ^^ This made the FreeBSD boot process to fail until I "fixit" the /etc/fstab to mount the correct root partition. At that time, I was also unable to specify in boot2 prompt (?) where my / is. My opinion is that if the PT entry # corresponding to the PT entry were used in the first place, this problem will be avoid. Probably this reflects a superficial view, but for a simple HDD configuration this make sense to me. Thanks again for any opinions/suggestions. __ Do you Yahoo!?

mpd - vpn help
Hi, I have set up a pptp server using mpd. I can connect from a windows client through the firewall without any issues. My problem is routing. The windows machine gets an IP of say 192.168.1.251, and is issued a gateway of the same IP. All I can do from there is ping the pptp server. I can't figure out how to give it a proper gateway. I would appreciate some help me with relevant lines for both mpd.conf and mpd.links. I would prefer to just use a section of the local LAN (say 192.168.1.240/29), rather than add another subnet, but whatever works. 192.168.1.0/24 LAN 192.168.1.126 gateway for above network 192.168.1.81 pptd server running mpd Thanks in advance for any help, Jeanne ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The eject command accepts just the device name without a prefix, and prepends "/dev/" as necessary. Specifically from man eject(1): SYNOPSIS eject [-fnv] device DESCRIPTION eject is a program to eject removable media from drive. The device is a removable drive name such as cd0, matcd0, mcd0, scd0, wcd0 or od0. eject unmounts the device if it was mounted brefore ejecting. Given that it says "removable drive name such as ..." I assumed that those listed were just examples, and that any ejectable media should be programatically ejectable.

Why is rpc.statd using 256 megabytes of memory? No, there is no memory leak, and it is not using 256 Mbytes of memory. It simply likes to (i.e., always does) map an obscene amount of memory into its address space for convenience. There is nothing terribly wrong with this from a technical standpoint; it just throws off things like top(1) and ps(1). rpc.statd(8) maps its status file (resident on /var) into its address space; to save worrying about remapping it later when it needs to grow, it maps it with a generous size. This is very evident from the source code, where one can see that the length argument to mmap(2) is 0x1000, or one sixteenth of the address space on an IA32, or exactly 256MB. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: 4.9 ATA hangs with 2 ata drives
I've got both 4.9 and 5.1 loaded on my new ASUS A7N8X Deluxe with two 160Gb disks on the primary ATA controller. it hangs during kernel boot after the message: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices Yup. I have the same thing. What I do is go in to the BIOS and set the slave drive from "Auto" to "None" when I want to boot from the first drive, and switch it back when I want to boot from the second drive. Kind of a pain, but it works...

Is non-breaking space a space?
Hello, I'm wondering why the non-breaking space is considered as a space in the FreeBSD C library, whereas it is not in the GNU libc. Sorry for comparing the two, but as a result, Linux and FreeBSD are incompatible in the way they handle isspace(160). This *only* occurs when LC_CTYPE is given « single C chars locales » like en_US.ISO8859-1. In /usr/src/share/mklocale, the file la_LN.ISO8859-1.src for example contains a SPACE definition that includes the non-breaking space. It seems that it is so since the beginning of FreeBSD, but is there some reference, some standard that states whether NBSP is considered a space or not? BTW the « official » [1]sources for glibc ctype functions have an interesting comment: static bool is_space (unsigned int ch) { /* Don't make U+00A0 a space. Non-breaking space means that all programs should treat it like a punctuation character, not like a space. */ Best regards, -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/ [1] http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/localedata/gen-unicode-ctype.c?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The problem is that a ppp.linkdown.sh script needs to do something and it's not doing it. Works fine if I execute the script normally from the command line though using the approperiate parameters that ppp would send it.

Is there a guide to Upgrading a FreeBSD server remotely
Greetings, I've Google'd a bit, but I cannot find a "survival guide to upgrading a FreeBSD system remotely". The Handbook's procedure is excellent (cvsup to the RELENG branch and then make'ing world), but it requires going into single user mode and using the console, two things which may not be possible in the context of a server sitting unattended in a hosting center 1 kilometers away. Has anyone written a quick guide on issues that can arise in this kind of situation? (For instance, one the the issues is that one might end up with a bad kernel: have people devised a way for the boot code to interact with "reboot -k xxx" to revert to the default kernel after an unsucessful boot, or after a specific time?)

I have done this a few times.. make sure your firewall configuration is up to date and is safe so you dont endup firewalled out when you reboot, and you may wish to put some cron entries to do some things (like reboot) after 10 minutes of rebooting in case it boots successfullly but you cant get in for some reason.

HP/UX NFS client (and general TCP/IP) problems with FreeBSD?
I've been scouring the net looking for someone else that has a similar problem; but I haven't found anything. The situation we have is a new HP/UX 11.0 system, which is doing an NFS mount from a FreeBSD 4.3 system. Even though we've dropped to NFS V2 and set the rsize/wsize on the HP/UX client to 1024 each - we're still seeing *terrible* performance on the HP/UX side... as if packets are being dropped right-and-left. In general - it seems TCP/IP between the HP/UX system and the FreeBSD server (even, say, FTP) moves really slowly. However, the HP/UX box communicates just find with the Solaris server.
