Hi

Usually an individual would download the tarball to build the stuff
and not necessarily to sync up with the tree.

If you need a specific release version then just pull off the sources
using the specific release tag.

5.4 or 6 ?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Hi, 

I will be installing a server that will be online for production environment 
in 1 month. I want your suggestions if I should use 5.4 or 6 ? 

I am thinking to install 6.0-Beta2 and upgrade to 6.0-RELEASE when it comes 
out. But I wanted to take your precious opinions.

I can recommend the IBM Thinkpad R51, especially the models with Ati
7500 or 9000 graphics, because these chips are supported by the free
drivers that come with Xorg. I run FreeBSD 5.4 on my R51 and I am very
happy with it.

I have also heard positive statements about the Samsung X20 XVM 1600.

Games + pciE

[Eric Murphy]

Hey all! quick question for ya

I recently installed Enemy Territory to play a mod called ETF (www.etfgame.com) 
 I got the game working with no problems by installing a few linux packages..

linux_base-8-8.0_6  Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386)
linux_dri-4.3.0_3   Binary Linux DRI libraries for 3D hardware acceleration of 
linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_3 XFree86 libraries, Linux binary


However upon installing the nvidia drivers I have the option of useing the 
FreeBSD agp driver or the nvidia one.  ive treyd to use both.  The game runs 
alittle slow and sluggish so i figured it didnt have hardware acceleration.  So 
i need to enable AGP.  but then it dawned on me..im not running an agp card.. 
im running PCIe  (PCI Express, Asus Geforce 6600GT)

So my question is do i need to load some sort of PCIe driver? How can i get the 
game to run smoothly and not sluggish?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Re: Getting ipfw2 on FreeBSD-4.11-STABLE...

[Forrest Aldrich]

Thanks this worked well.

One further question, the manpage doesn't really elaborate much on the 
use of tables.  Particularly, how to utilize them in deny rules.   
Anyone have better examples, or did I miss something.



Thanks.

The code silently fails if any host field doesn't resolve to a valid IP
address.  Try the attached diff, which lets your example line work for
me.

src of boot loader.

[Bsderss]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me where is the source code of
i386 boot loader in the freebsd src tree?

I found there is some code in the following paths:
# find . -name "loader*"
./share/examples/bootforth/loader.rc
./sys/boot/alpha/loader
./sys/boot/arc/loader
./sys/boot/common/loader.8
./sys/boot/efi/loader
./sys/boot/ficl/loader.c
./sys/boot/forth/loader.4th
./sys/boot/forth/loader.4th.8
./sys/boot/forth/loader.conf
./sys/boot/forth/loader.conf.5
./sys/boot/forth/loader.rc
./sys/boot/i386/loader
./sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc
./sys/boot/pc98/loader
./sys/boot/sparc64/loader

Obviously different arch has different boot loader. If
I just want to see the src of i386 boot loader, is the
path ./sys/boot/i386/loader the correct source for
this? I remembered there is part of the boot loader
code is written in assembly, but I couldn't find it
here... I may be had a bad memory...

Thanks
Sam.

you can always update the Makefile / source.

theres 101 ways to grap the updated copy of the source, so heres one of em.

It's been a while since I updated this system - I looked through the

I see in the /usr/src/sbin/ipfw directory a define of -DIPFW2.

So before I hack further, I wonder if I messed something up or if 
there's a switch I must implement to get ipfw2 running on here.

Re: fd_set

[nawcom]

Now im your basic programmer, so the only thing i can relate fd_set to 
are the file descriptors (bit array i think) which are declared in the 
select function. select is used for basic input/output channel control.


So by saying that -

1) perhaps the file that is being built is missing the sys header file, 
sys/types.h (if im wrong somebody correct me). I have ended up fixing 
#include and #define typos in programs due to an unsuccessful build 
which seems to be common, so maybe this may be your case also.


2) there might be something wrong with the header file itself, like 
fd_set not being declared.


oh well - like i said -im your basic c/kernel  coder, but this is what i 
would check out if i was thrown into your shoes.


good luck,
nawcom
perhaps there might be something wrong with glibc?

USB video devices supported / Video surveillance?

[Nikolas Britton]

Hello all...

I was just recruited by a friend to help build an Internet based video
surveillance system, I recommend FreeBSD to him for the project. I
checked the 5.4 hardware notes but didn't see anything about USB video
capture devices, I only see the PCI based bktr devices... So are they
supported?

It would also be very helpful if you could point me in the right
direction for software, how-to's, etc. for doing this project. I think
one of the major stumbling blocks will be setting the system to
trigger via a motion sensor.

Thanks.

comtrol rocketport 16 PCI

[Jim Pazarena]

the 5.4 kernel appears to support rocketport simply by including
"device rp" in the kernel compile, after which devices like:

/dev/ttyR[0-9a-f]
/dev/ttyiR[0-9a-f]
/dev/ttylR[0-9a-f]
/dev/cuaR[0-9a-f]
/dev/cuaiR[0-9a-f]
/dev/cualR[0-9a-f]

get created.

would someone please advise the purpose of the "iR" & "lR" devices?

also, comtrol has some kind of support for the 5 kernel on their
ftp site; with a few instructions on how to remove some existing
files, add some of theirs, and re-compile the kernel.
their instructions suggest that ports are: /dev/ttyC* and /dev/cuaC*

when following _their_ instructions, a fresh kernel compile crashes.
I see someone posted a question WRT the compile crash back in 1/24/05.
there were no responses.

I would like to confirm that the existing FreeBSD settings for rocketport
support do indeed work, and that it isn't necessary to go thru comtrol's
compilation routine.

TIA

Jim

Some do, some don't. I actually find themes.org (now
themes.freshmeat.net) a good source for backgrounds... I get them from
themes made for window managers I don't even use ;)  Currently I'm
using http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/rootbox/

If you like the rpg Final Fantasy XI you can check out
http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/mithraranger/


The mithraranger style was made by a student I had working with me
over the summer as an intern. As you can see I allowed him to use
bluefish, after spending a week on vimtutor just to make sure he
appreciated how lucky he is to have a nice gui haha :)

Re: Encrypted filesystem cgd

It's possible, and if it hasn't been done it mightn't be far off.


OR

Is there anything similar in FreeBSD?


There certainly is. In the past I have used GEOM Based Disk Encryption  
(GBDE), because my computer had already been partitioned I used GBDE in  
combination with mdconfig (created a 2g file with dd, used mdconfig to  
configure it as a device, then ran disklabel and newfs on the md and set  
it up with GBDE). This was using 5.1 at the time and it ran extremely  
well, the only problem I ever encountered was when copying several hundred  
megabytes of data to the encrypted disk, it would then cause the whole  
computer to lock up, this could have been because of the use of mdconfig  
or my laptop being dodgy.

ctags with recursion and sort

[Dev FreeBSD]

Hello,

I am trying to shift over from Linux to FreeBSD.

Tried to use 'ctags' for FreeBSD sources.
However, I could not find the '--recurse' and '--sort' options in ctags
available on FreeBSD.

Are there any alternatives.

I have a dual-boot Linux and FreeBSD 5.4

thanks

Getting ipfw2 on FreeBSD-4.11-STABLE...

[Forrest Aldrich]

I have FreeBSD-4.11-STABLE on one of my systems.  I did a 
buildworld/installworld today - but I still have ipfw and not ipfw2 - 
even though the manpage says otherwise.  

It's been a while since I updated this system - I looked through the 
docs and no mention of this in UPDATING etc.


I see in the /usr/src/sbin/ipfw directory a define of -DIPFW2.

So before I hack further, I wonder if I messed something up or if 
there's a switch I must implement to get ipfw2 running on here.



Thanks.

bootparamd doesn't allow parameters?

[Brian J. McGovern]

All,
I'm in the process of trying to set up a Solaris jumpstart server in
a lab, and I decided for chuckles to do it with FreeBSD.

The problem I'm running in to is that apparently, the Sun bootparamd
allows you to pass parameters as fields, for instance, as a couple of sample
fields out of the Solaris-generated /etc/bootparams (note: entry is clearly
not complete, but I didn't want to distract)

testserver  rootopts=:rsize=32768 term=:vt100

However, if I move this directly in to FreeBSD's /etc/bootparams, it
will complain that it can not answer the request for "rootopts" from the Sun
box.

Is there something I'm missing? the man page seems to allude to the
fact that all entries should be in the format of :. Or, am
I going to have to look at finding another bootparamd than the stock one?

For anyone who comes across this add the following to /boot/loader.conf
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"

Problems withpcmcia & smartmedia

[vittorio]

When I insert my pccard (smartmedia adapter pcmcia - hama) freebsd 5.4 doesn't 
seem to recognize it as a storage device. In fact /var/log/messages says:
.. 
Aug 18 19:33:03 vittorio kernel: pccard0: Allocation failed for cfe 0
Aug 18 19:33:03 vittorio kernel: ata2: <> at port 0x2050-0x205f 
irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
..

The same smartmedia inside the Olympus camera and connected via usb is instead 
happily seen as a scsi device.

What should I do?

If you installed MySQL from the ports, you'll find a start-up file in
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.  Just make sure the file name ends in ".sh"
and MySQL will be started at bootup.

Yes. I agree. Although we've run Symantec on the silly box and 
nothing is there with the latest identity files. In fact, now 
you can hook it back up to the net and all is fine. Maybe it got 
fixed by one of the 'anti-worm worms' ?  8-) .

What I was really wondering is if there is some way of preventing 
one silly Windows box from taking the FreeBSD server into a 
state where it is pretty much useless network-wise.

Setting throttling is one thing that was suggested, but as I 
recall, when I tried that, it actually made no difference 
because it throttled the interface and it was useless anyway.

Doesn't ethereal really just run tcpdump?  Tcpdump showed very 
little. I guess because it was running on the same machine and 
the machine wasn't delivering packets to the internal 
networking..or it was infernally slow and it didn't get much to 
show.

Probably if I had a 2nd FreeBSD box monitoring the network on a 
hub insdtead of a switch, that would work, but this is an "outer 
office" with no on-site IT staff and that is sort of hard to 
accomplish.

Thanks!

It appears that in 6.0, you will be able to simultaneously invoke DHCP
and include ifconfig options in the ifconfig_wi0 line of rc.conf, so
this will become even simpler.

If you need to be able to move your laptop between networks with
different WEP keys (or WEP vs. no WEP), dhclient.conf might still be
the easiest method to use, although of course start_if.wi0 can be an
arbitrarily complex script.

E.g. to support multiple networks in dhclient.conf you might say

interface "wi0" {
  media 
"ssid home wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x123ab",
"ssid work wepmode on weptxkey 3 wepkey 3:0xabcde01234fe",
"ssid - wepmode off";
}
 
Or something like that, give or take a syntax error or two.  The dhcp
client will try each of those configurations in order until it finds
one that successfully returns a dhcp configuration.

If you are using a version of FreeBSD that supports wpa_supplicant (6
or 7, I think), then you would use its configuration file instead of
dhclient.conf, with of course a totally different syntax.

portsdb: db format

[Stepan Rakhimov]

Hi,
I have 2 FreeBSD-6-BETA2 systems,

I've noticed that my ports db's are in different format (dbm_hash and 
bdb1_btree)
May i choose this format by hand to make them similar? (i've already 
recompiled appropriate ports, but with no effect)


It's not a big problem, but i'm using /usr/ports as NFS folder and 
portupgrade always has to rebuild this db.

multiple network interfaces

[Daniel Valencia]

Hello, everybody

Is there any limit as of how many interfaces can
freebsd handle? Im trying to build a switch in a PC
box, putting multiple NICs and some software... The
issue is, even though all of the cards work correctly
by themselves, once I put them together, it doesnt
matter what slots i use, I can never make more than
two of them work.  For even though all the rest appear
up as well, I cant ping neither them nor their peers
(Im using crossover cables).

Thank you,

Daniel

Postfix Help

[Devin Miller]

Greetings Everyone,

I have recently been experimenting with FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE to setup an
email server following the directions listed here:
http://postfixwiki.org/index.php?title=Virtual_Users_and_Domains_with_Courie
r-IMAP_and_MySQL

I am pretty comportable with FreeBSD and my problem appears to be with
version conflicts.  I installed MySQL version 5.0.9_1.

During the make process for Postfix 2.1 a different version of the MySQL
client tried to install.  It throws an error telling me that they are
incompatible and the port installation process for Postfix starts there.

Is there any way around this or do I have to uninstall the current version
of MySQL and use the one that Postfix wants?  It just seems like MySQL 3.2
is much older than the 5.x that I am used to.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Devin Miller

In your /etc/rc.conf put:

ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"

Add the following file to /etc:start_if.wi0

Add your ifconfig settings to that file:

ifconfig wi0 ssid whatever wepkey xx wepmode 0

Of course change wi0 to whatever driver your card uses. This worked for me and 
should work when you reboot.

You can create a file "/etc/start_if.[name of interface]" that contains 
the appropriate ifconfig.  For example, with my Intel 2100, I have the 
file "/etc/start_if.ipw0" which contains "ifconfig ipw0 ssid xxx 
authmode xxx" etc etc.

Read the dhclient.conf man pages.  I think you use the "media"
statement to do it, which lets you list alternate interface
configurations that DHCP should attempt to use until it finds one that
successfully communicates with a DHCP server.  I don't remember the
details, but it has come up before, so you might be able to find an
example by searching the mailing list archives.  Maybe even in the
Handbook.

The ifconfig_xxx statements in rc.conf are just the arguments that get
sent to ifconfig, so you can put your wep settings in rc.conf that
way, but at the present time I don't think that method lets you
configure WEP and also use DHCP (I've read rumors that it will in the
future).

You can configure your interface using /stand/sysinstall by
selecting "Index", then "Network Interfaces".  There's a place in the
module to put additional ifconfig arguments.  The
appropriate configuration entries will be added to /etc/rc.conf.

If that doesn't work, you can a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  If you
use a firewall, you may have to reload the firewall rules after the
interface is configured; but you can have the script do this as well.

Best of luck,

Logitech mouse

[Paul Schmehl]

Has anybody managed to get *all* the buttons working on a Logitch Wireless 
Optical Mouse?


I'm running 5.4 SECURITY with Xorg 6.8.2.  Here's my xorg.conf stuff:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "X.org Configured"
   Screen  0  "Screen0" 0 0
   Screen  1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
   InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer"
   InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
   Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse0"
   Driver  "mouse"
   Option  "Protocol" "auto"
   Option  "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
   Option  "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
   Option  "Buttons" "9"
   Option  "YAxisMapping" "6 7"
#   Option  "XAxisMapping" "9 10"
   Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
   Option  "Resolution"  "800"
   Option  "Vendor" "Logitech"
EndSection

When I run xev, the first five buttons work as expected (1=left, 2=wheel, 
3=right, 4=vert up, 5=vert down), but the only other buttons that register 
are the left side of the horizontal movement of the wheel (7) and the 
"application" button (6).


Dmesg is kind of weird:

ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/29.01, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir.
uhub4: Standard Microsystems product 0xa700, class 9/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 
2

uhub4: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
ums1: Logitech Optical USB Mouse, rev 2.00/3.40, addr 3, iclass 3/1
ums1: 3 buttons and Z dir.

So the receiver is detected as a 7 button plus Z dir mouse, but the mouse 
itself is detected as a 3 button plus Z dir?


# usbdevs
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 2: USB Receiver, Logitech
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 2: product 0xa700, Standard Microsystems
 addr 3: Optical USB Mouse, Logitech
 addr 4: Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite, Microsoft
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel

Does anyone have one of these mice?  If so, did you get the other buttons 
working?

Someone referred to UDF in 6.0 as if it were read/write, but I don't
see any evidence of that in the man page (it doesn't say it isn't
read/write, either).  If I have time this evening I will try to
investigate that.

ports/sysutils/udfclient might support that drive in write mode.  If
so, it will give you some ability to do useful things with it,
although it doesn't appear that it will make it look like a mountable
filesystem.

imho it would help to see your kernel config.
Can you compile a default kernel with your sources ?
You have not modified you sources and you have the most recent 5.4

/usr/libexec/mail.local isn't an MTA, it's a LDA, or local delivery agent.

MTAs like sendmail and postfix use the LDA to actually deliver mail which 
should go to a local user account (ie, in the sense of locking the mbox file in 
/var/mail/$USER and appending the new message, or maildir's conventions, etc).



However, if you want to do SMTP, even SMTP on localhost via sendmail, you have
to use FEATURE(nocanonify) to disable DNS lookups.  Unless told otherwise,
sendmail is intended to run as a fully connected SMTP box, which means it has
to pay attention to DNS, MX records, address re-writing, alias expansions, and
all of the rest of the stuff it does.


Basically all I want is for any programs run on the system and mail
their results to root to be able to do so.


I see.  Much of those automated messages assume they are using sendmail, they 
generally won't call mail.local directly, unfortunately.


You might find it useful to read "man mailwrapper" for more info.

Re: FreeBSD dialin server

I have freebsd 5.4 and i want to have dialin server. How can i

I set up a 4.x box to do this for three modems awhile back and while I

hope will help.  Seems I never learn to write it down while I'm doing it 
:)


- Installed mgetty+sendfax from ports.

- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config looks like this:


port cuaa1
debug 9
fax-id 00 00 00
speed 115200
direct NO
blocking NO
port-owner uucp
port-group uucp
port-mode 0660

diskspace 1024

fax-owner uucp
fax-group modem
fax-mode 0660


- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config looks like this:


/AutoPPP/ - -   /etc/ppp/AutoPPP.sh


- /etc/ttys has this addition (remember I have three internal PCI modems):


ttyd4   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"  dialup on insecure
ttyd5   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"  dialup on insecure
ttyd6   "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200"  dialup on insecure


- The /etc/ppp directory looks like this:


-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   46 Apr 20 12:57 AutoPPP.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  258 Apr 20 11:48 ppp-shell.sh*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  486 Apr 21 10:22 ppp.conf

- ppp-shell.sh:

#!/bin/sh

CALLEDAS="$IDENT"
TTY=`tty`

if [ x$IDENT = xdialup ]; then
IDENT=`basename $TTY`
fi


echo "PPP for $CALLEDAS on $TTY"
echo "Starting PPP for $IDENT"

  set speed 115200
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK

ttyd6:
  set ifaddr 10.28.61.55 10.28.61.56


- I added gateway_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf

- I also added a ppp user.  Or maybe mgetty did.  /etc/passwd line looks 
like this:



ppp:*:1003:1003:PPP User:/local/home/ppp:/etc/ppp/ppp-shell.sh


- I am pretty sure that the "allow users philip" line in ppp.conf was just 
from testing.


I think that was all I did...

Anyway, hope this helps you out...

Network Interface 'overload' in 4.11

[Jim Durham]

Hi,

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have seen this and wondered if 
there is a solution.

Recently, one of our 4.11 servers that we had just installed at 
one of our offices with about 50 users got extremely slow and 
non-responsive after a few hours of operation.  I was unable to 
do an ssh login to this box, but it stayed up according to 
people on the scene.

This box is running natd with the usual setup, an outside 
interface hooked to a T1 with the outside IP and the local LAN 
hooked up through switches to the inside interface with a class 
C private network with  192.168.x.x addresses, handing out DHCP 
over that interface.

My assistant was on scene and got on the phone with me when this 
happened and confirmed that the box was up and responsive to 
console commands.  I asked him to pull the ethernet to the 
inside interface. Instantly, I was able to ssh in to the outside 
address and the web server on the box became responsive again.

Then we put the cable back and I tried tcpdump to see where the 
'overload' was coming from. tcpdump showed virtually no traffic 
on the inside interface. We resorted to going through the 
switches and looked for a link light that was flickering the 
most, pulled out that cable, which went to only one Windows box 
and the whole network returned to normal.

Now, this box was somehow spewing packets at a high enough rate 
(it's a 1ghz inside network) to 'shut down' the 4.11 server's 
networking.  This is obviously not a good situation. It looks 
like the interface was dropping almost all packets at that 
point.

I had this same problem a year or two ago with a 4.x box. At that 
time I tried playing with various sysctls.  I had no real luck.

Does anyone have any experience with this phenomenum and can you 
suggest a cure?

Thanks very much,

--

It seems to be the case, even if you try to force a formatting operation

There was an additional package which you could install with dvd+rw-

Indeed.


Looking into the issue I've seen a number of people experiencing the same
problem and being told to fix their DNS setup. The machine that sendmail
is running on has an internet routable IP that resolves to a hostname:


host 82.71.120.75


75.120.71.82.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
82-71-120-75.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk.

but the hostname I have set is "fake" and resolves to nothing:


hostname


naboo.localdomain


You really, really want to give your machine a real hostname, which is in the 
DNS, reverses properly, and has MX records for the domains it handles mail for 
set up, if you want to run sendmail and do mail correctly.


If you are only relaying mail to another smart host which will do all of your 
relaying for you (commonly your ISP's SMTP server will do so), and you do not 
need sendmail to do DNS lookups, consider FEATURE(nocanonify).

sendmail stalling during boot

[Simon Morgan]

When my system boots it freezes for an extremely long time at a certain
point in the boot process. Hitting CTRL-C at this point I'm informed
that the loading of sendmail has been cancelled which obviously indicates
that it's what is responsible.

Looking into the issue I've seen a number of people experiencing the same
problem and being told to fix their DNS setup. The machine that sendmail
is running on has an internet routable IP that resolves to a hostname:

> host 82.71.120.75

but the hostname I have set is "fake" and resolves to nothing:

> hostname
naboo.localdomain
> host naboo.localdomain
Host naboo.localdomain not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

However, it does so almost instantly and so I fail to see what is causing
sendmail to hang.

Can anybody help? I would appreciate a CC on any replies as I'm not
subscribed to the list.

I have been using dd to generate 64 GB files to test RAID
configurations with no problems.  It should support files up to at
least 2 TB, maybe more.

> What's the solution here   

Hard to say without more details.

Did you get any error message at all, or did it just freeze?  Does
anything show in /var/log/messages?

What filesystem are you using (the default, which is UFS2, or did you
set up something else)?

How big is disk partition you are building the files on?  I.E. what
does "df" say?  Running out of disk space can cause strange problems.

Is softupdates enabled on the file system?  "tunefs -p /var" or
whatever the filesystem is will tell you.  If softupdates runs out of
memory or disk space, strange things happen.

If you run "top" while generating the 6.4 GB test file, does it show a
lot of swap being used?

If your dumps are so small they will fit on CD-R, you could do the
following:

- make a dump

  dump -0 -a -L -f - /usr |gzip -c >usrdump.gz

- use mkisofs to make an ISO file containing your dump

  mkisofs -r -pad -o usrdump.iso usrdump.gz

- burn the ISO to CD-R with cdrecord or burncd.

If the gzipped dump file is larger than a CD, you could use split(1), to
make CD-sized chenks, and burn them to different CD's.

If you want to use a CD as a kind of harddisk, you could use an UDF
filesystem. See udfclient in ports.

If the dumps are big, upgrade to a DVD burner and use growisofs(1) to
burn the data to DVD.

Simply using dvd+rw-format doesn't erase all of the previous contents of the 
DVD, whereas overwriting with zeros as you've done will obscure the old data 
reasonably well.


There is a difference between a disk which has never been written to, and a 
disk which has been written full of zeros.  Note that someone with the right 
forensics technology probably could read a zeroed DVD, the same way you can 
read most of the data from a hard drive even after a single erasure pass.

Perhaps something is wrong with your hardware, or you are using some

I assume "blank" is for a "never written-on" disk, since your DVD+RW has
been used at least 1 time, growisofs formatted it, so it's not "blank."

Sample config files can be found in /usr/local/share/mysql. MySQL will
run fine with it's default settings but depending on your requirements
you may need to change them. You can copy one of the suitable sample
files to /var/db/mysql/my.cnf and change it according to your
requirements. You might also want to look at the phpMyAdmin port
/usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin for a web gui front-end to MySQL where
you can add users and assign permissions with a click of a button.
Otherwise you'll have to do it manually as a previous post mentioned.

It may be surprising, but casting back and forth *MAY* change the value
of the pointer.  Think of something like ``memory models'' in MS-DOS and
pointers that have both two parts, i.e. a segment address and an offset
in the segment.  Add to this a weird rule that says segment values are
shifted up by 8 bits and then added to the offset value, mix a compiler
that uses optimizations in the cocktail too, and you get strange things :-)

I'm typing this on an Acer Ferrari 3400.  FreeBSD installs in a breeze,
after rebuilding a kernel with "cpufreq" I can run powerd to reduce

- Wireless networking
- Internal modem (this will probably never work)

The computer and the disk system is otherwise idle - no activity other
than taking the snapshot.

Since the original posting I found Dr McKusik's 1999 Usenix paper
describing snapshots which suggests the time for taking a snapshot should
be "brief", and that file system activity should resume after a time no
longer than that required for an unmount. This suggests to me that
something is wrong with our setup, but I still have no idea what.

However, I have found some messages from users with experience similar to
ours e.g.

If you used the script that the port installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

I like the (big-ass) Toshiba Satellite machines, but I'm not wedded to

working well on one...


Thanks.

Don't know if it will have what you're after...

You do know there's a freebsd-mobile list as well?  Anything in its 
archives?


You can always run i386 BSD on an AMD64.  If your big-ass machine has a 
big-ass disk then you can put both 1386 and amd64 on it and dual boot.  
There's a big list of ports which don't run on amd64 which flew by this 
list recently.

You do realize that this a FreeBSD mailing list and has nothing to do 
with fedora or linux...


But to answer your question anyway, since we're so nice... ;-)

You can use ssh as the connection protocol for rsync, so communication 
is then encrypted.  Rsync will then be as safe as your ssh.  There are 
howtos out there about setting up ssh keys that *only* allow rsync 
connections.  I found them easily with google.


Other options would include tar, cpio, whatever dump program you have at 
the colo, and just about any other archiving utility.  It all depends 
what you want.  Rsync will give you an up-to-date copy of your remote 
drives; an archiving utility would let you do full-and-incremental style 
backups potentially giving you  multiple snapshots.  Or you could 
alternate where you do the rsync to (say every week), to get multiple 
snapshots that way.

Backup to CD-R

[imnotmork_listas]

  Hi! I was wondering if somebody can give me a clue to how to
  schedulle regular backups to CD-R. I'm using FreeBSD 5.3.

  By now, i can asume that the best choice is to use 'dump' but i
  can't realize how to use the CD-R as a 'writeable' device.

Re: man malloc

[Sergey Matveychuk]

Chuck Swiger wrote:


What does "suitable aligned for storage of *any* type of object" means?



On some platforms, it is either desirable or required that, say, a 
8-byte double is stored at a memory location which is is also aligned to 
8-bytes:


Oh, it was told for different architectures. It's quite clear for me now.




What is pointer coercion? I have no pointer before malloc() returns.



Right.  Well, malloc returns a (void *), but most people want to use the 
memory malloc returns to hold their own arrays, structs, whatever, which 
means that you need to be able to coerce the (void *) malloc gave you 
into whatever pointer type you want to actually use.


So the memory malloc gives you needs to be aligned so that it's OK to be 
used for even the most restrictive datatype known to the system, 
commonly 8, 16, or 32 bytes.




Pointer coercion means a type cast? I see now.
I read it as 'force change of pointer value' before.

Thanks, guys!

Confused about SATA Raid

[Sulejmen Mehmedagic]

Since it was my "first day" (read first message sent to the list), if I 
could use words of one Homer Simpson, I managed to screw it up. My 
message was a reply to this message 
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-September/059812.html), 
but somehow it does not appear to be connected to it. Maybe I am too 
late with replying. I welcome an explanation, if somebody finds time and 
will to do it.

Confused about SATA Raid

[Sulejmen Mehmedagic]

I am not sure if you are still having this problem, but maybe somebody 
else will be able to use the following:


I am using SuperMicro server with Intel ICH5 SATA 150 controller and 
FreeBSD 5.4. As far as I could tell, the trick with SATA RAID is to 
disable/delete RAID in the Intel (after-BIOS) utility, perform one quick 
(because you are going to destroy it anyway) FreeBSD installation, log 
in, and then use the atacontrol utility to create RAID, which you 
already did, according to your post.


After that, you boot from the installation CD-ROM once more, and perform 
final installation ("final" meaning that you should use the time to 
customize it, if necessary). This time, however, you will see ar0 in the 
list of available drives. Choose that one and continue with the 
installation. As far as the installation, I always choose Standard 
(recommended) type at the beginning. However, and I am not 100% sure 
about this, I think that you could benefit from choosing FreeBSD Boot 
Manager, when it comes to that screen (so not the Standard Boot Manager, 
which is selected by default); more about that later.


After looking through several lists I stumbled upon atacontrol utility 
and afterwards using man pages I was able to do the  work I described 
above. However, I was not satisfied completely, since I had trouble not 
with removing one drive and booting (the system would boot with only one 
drive), but after "replacing" (basically inserting the one I just 
removed to mimic drive replacement) that drive back and trying to boot 
again (from this you can see that I remove and add drives only when the 
computer is turned off, if it matters to you or anybody else). At that 
time, I also was not using FreeBSD Boot Manager.


After couple of weeks, I found this article 
(http://www.techno-obscura.com/~delgado/notes/fbsd-ich5SATAraid.html), 
which describes the process in similar and more detailed fashion. This 
gave me hope to try one more time and then it was a success. Using 
atacontrol utility and its options (attach, detach, addspare, and 
rebuild) I was able to successfully "replace" both drives and each time 
rebuild the RAID.


The only glitch was in the case when I placed back the second drive, 
i.e. ad6 (which somehow might be the main one) into the server and tried 
to boot. There was a panic message and the server rebooted after couple 
of seconds. Next time, using FreeBSD Boot Manager, I clicked F5 and OS 
booted from a different drive. After logging in, I was again able to 
rebuild the RAID.
