nphelix.so: Undefined symbol "stderr", when using linuxpluginwrapper on 6.0-B4

[WOB]

I fixed my Flash error, but I don't how to fix this error on the Helix 
player (and the same error for Acrobat7)


I'm using Firefox on 6.0-B4.

I thought "stderr" was alway defined (from my C days).

any suggestions?

I had to make some symlinks for Flash to work on 6.0-Beta4.

[WOB]

I had to make 3-4 symlinks to get Flash to work with Firefox on FreeBSD 
6.0-B4


These are the commands I entered:

  cd /usr/lib
  ln -s libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.4

  cd /lib
  ln -s libm.so.4 libm.so.3
  ln -s libz.so.3 libz.so.2

I made those changes based on errors I saw.  I don't know much about 
what I am doing, so hopefully I didn't break anything by making those 
symlinks.  For example, once this gets fixed, I dont't know if I will 
need to undo my symlinks.


It looks like the "...so.x" files got incremented, and something is 
expecting them to have their old values.


thanks!

I have installed phpBB to the existing server as a trial and the files appear 
to be in the location indicated by stnadrad output. When I run open up 
install/install.php I get a blank screen.

any ideas how I can get enough info to help debug this problem?

Hi 
  So sorry! so dumb. I didn't put usb ports ahead of hard drive in boot order.
Both usb direct drive and usb external hard drive work.
But boot loading is VERY slow for both.
  Thank's so much!

OK solved it - the manual I was using gave the impression that the 
DocumentRoot was specified relative to the server root rather than 
absolutely. Once I got over that the rest fell into place.

By coincidence I just installed 5.4 REL on my Gateway notebook this
afternoon, which has the Intel PRO 100 on-board. In my case it was
detected immediately and coupled with the fxp driver enabled in GENERIC.

FWIW the output of pciconf -lv on my notebook yields this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8:0 class=0x2 card=0x0200107b chip=0x103d8086 rev=0x81
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation
device = '82801DB (ICH4) PRO/100 VE Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

I don't know enough about these numbers to say for sure but obviously
your output and mine are quite different, particularly WRT "card" and
"chip".

Are you absolutely sure you have this particular adapter and not some
variant?

phpbb installation

[Vizion]

Hi

I am just trying to work out the configuration options for 
usr/ports/www/phpbb.
Does anyone habe any ideas on a good to install phpbb on a server with a 
number of virtual hosts, a number of which, will be running phpbb?

Glancing at the makefile I have drawn the impression that  some tweaking might 
be needed.

I am using name-based hosting and am uncertain how to proceed.


# The phpBB2 port supports a number of variables that may be tweaked at build
# time.  Perform a "make options" to see more information on these variables.
#
WWWDOCROOT?=www/data
PHPBBURL?=  phpBB2
 (is this meant to be the file  

location for installation purposes or the web site url?)

WWWOWN?=www
WWWGRP?=www

All advice appreciated
Thanks
david

gday Andrew -

- does it show in ifconfig -a?

- just to make sure you have fxp in the kernel, u may want to try to 
kldload if_fxp - u should get an error if it's already built in, or it 
would start working if it's not:

Threaded Perl Seg Fault

[Charles Maner]

Hi all.  I'm running threaded Perl 5.8.7, compiled
with ithreads, on FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE with 1.5GB RAM. 
Perl is now running out of memory as I'm getting Seg
Faults/Core dumps.  (I'm creating a max of 15 threads
all parsing different HTML.  There appears to only be
124MB of free physical memory remaining--3 GB of swap
space is available/unused.)

FYI, it was compiled using FreeBSD malloc:

/home/charles> perl -V:usemymalloc
usemymalloc='n';

It seems that the OS is not alloting swap space to
this Perl job.  Is there a quick suggestion as to how
to tell it to use swap space and/or should I increase
kernel memory during boot?  Any general suggestions?


Thanks,
Charles

The ports(7) manpage is a good start and it also includes a link to the
relevant Handbook section.  You can get a fair amount of information
about the Ports (what they are, how it all works, etc.) by running:

% man 7 ports

Well, there's an old saying that no question is a stupid question.  You
can speed things up a lot though by looking for "keywords" that match
what you want to do in the archives of this list.  Most of the questions
one finds himself wanting to ask when they start working with FreeBSD
have already been answered; repeatedly too :)

Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection NIC undetected, FreeBSD 5.4

[Andrew Robinson]

Dear list,

I am using an Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection with FreeBSD 5.4
Release. The card does not seem to be detected. The page at

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET

lists it among the cards that should be supported by fxp.

My kernel shows that fxp is included:

device  fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558)

The relevant output of dmesg is:

pci5:  at device 8.0 (no driver attached)

ifconfig says:

lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384

In WinXP the physical device is identified as

Intel 82562 ET 100 Base-TX PHY

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Apparently, the fact that the stress tool produced so few warnings may
have given me a false sense of security.  I'm being treated to the
following messages (81 in total) today, after 8 days uptime:

Sep  6 11:35:27 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries

...
Sep  6 18:59:09 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries

Sep  6 19:04:58 mybox kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) 
LBA=61749183

The READ_DMA timeouts are happening very infrequently, but it's worth
mentioning that I'm seeing them now in addition.

This is quite disturbing, particularly when the machine in question is
*in*production.*

Has anyone who has experienced this pain found solace in 5-STABLE's ATA
drivers?

They can fail if they are left running 24x7 for months or years at a
time then shut down for 24 hours or so.

Never heard of the 'drive will fail if not powered up every so often"
line, though.

That used to be the case with some old disks.  Once brought back
to life this way you had enough time to get the data off the disk
before it crashed for good.

40 Megabyte Seagate MFM ST251's were famous for this.

So have I.  I've also had brand new drives out of the box that wouldn't

Re: Repairing "kernel not found"

[Frederick N. Brier]

More info.  If I "ls" either before or after setting the bootpath or 
module_path environment variables, the response is: "open '/' failed: no 
such file or directory".  The "load kernel" command returns: "can't file 
'kernel'".  Do I need to load a module so that the 3Ware drive "twe" is 
loaded?  The loaddev and currdev variables are both set to "disk1s1a:"  
Thank you again.

You can interrupt the boot loader and at the OK prompt run "ls" to see
what the loader has mounted as the root partition.  Then, assuming that
you locate your kernel in ``/boot/kernel/kernel'', loading a specific
kernel can be done with:

OK set bootfile=/boot/kernel/kernel
OK set module_path=/boot/kernel
OK load kernel
OK boot

I have also tried using a link

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel18 Sep  6 14:20 virtualwebs -> /usr2/virtualwebs/
 
with virtualhosts.conf carrying entries of:


DocumentRoot /www/virtualwebs/vhost1.com

and tried

DocumentRoot /virtualwebs/vhost1.com
ServerName vhost1.com
AcceptPathInfo On

when that did not work
In either case I get
Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/virtualwebs/vhost1.com] does not exist

How can I get this right?

Re: Compiling for the first time (more or less)

Sorry about the reply, rather than reply-all, Giorgos. Thank you for 
your help on this.


So, my next question is, how does one know that the wonderful and 
brilliant FreeBSD port squad already took care of things like this? I 
assume that it is documented somewhere, but I didn't see it on the 
description page for the port. Am I just going to have to ask more 
stupid questions like this, until I get a better feel for things?

Nah, don't do it this way.  Our friendly Ports hackers have already
ported Samba3 with ADS support to FreeBSD.  All you need is to build
using the Ports:

1. Start by obtaining a /usr/ports tree, i.e. through CVSup.

2. Configure and install Samba3

tarja:/# cd /usr/ports/net/samba3
tarja:/usr/ports/net/samba3# make config

  (Make sure you enable ADS support at the configuration dialog that
  pops up when you type "make config".)

tarja:/usr/ports/net/samba3# make install

That should install Samba3 as a "port", instead of a precompiled "package"..

That you very much

The line extension dir line in the php.ini is:

extension_dir = "./"

What value should this have?

How come it is looking for:
20041030-debug
in the first place when extension_dir is ./?
Where does it get that value from?

The directory  /usr/local/lib/php/20041030

dns1# cd /usr/local/lib/php/20041030
dns1# ls -l
total 130
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  89839 Sep  3 18:50 pcre.so
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  40993 Sep  3 18:51 xml.so

Try adjusting the value for "extension_dir" in the appropriate
php.ini file.

Note that this has moved, I think, from /usr/local/lib/php/php.ini
to /usr/local/etc/php.ini for most installations.

When a disk spins down, the heads move to the landing zone, stop
floating on an air-cushion that forms when the platters are spinning and
come in contact with the platters.

So the disk platters are lubricated to prevent wear and tear during
stops/starts. Now in the past these lubricants used to become sticky
over time, preventing the drive from starting up. I'm not sure if it is
still a problem these days; my workstation is on 24/7.
 


gotcha, thanks - I thought it could be an issue with older drives.

Well, the ports system was created so you wouldn't have to think
much about ./configure --WITH-FOO=bar && make && make install,
and then have no way to uninstall except do a visual diff on every "bin"
directory on your box looking for "fooport", etc.

So it's likely that you could run "make configure" in /usr/ports/net/samba3
and give it the options that it needs.  Failing that, then something like
`cd /usr/ports/net/samba3 && make --WITH-FOO=bar install clean` is
likely the incantation of choice.  Check the "Makefile" under said dir.

Since ./configure - make - make install isn't simply a BSDism per se, it's
possible that it's not even in the handbook, although I'm not looking
over it *for you* ATM. ;-) In the event it's not there, I'd probably Google
for "building from source", or some similar string

None of the software you mention here is platform-specific to FreeBSD  
(or Linux, or to any particular OS).  Go to DJB's site, or "life with  
qmail", or www.postfix.org, and read away.  However, you could also  
start with:


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail- 
using.html

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

...then "cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix" (or /usr/ports/mail/qmail) and  
"make install".



I am wondering why we get a lot more varieties on
Linux  solutions compared to FreeBSD. Are there more
Linux gurus than FreeBSD gurus out there or are people
just not interested in writing anymore?


There is nothing wrong with people trying and experimenting with lots  
of different approaches, but consistency has its own value.

Nothing special.  You could boot off a FreeBSD CD-ROM image and do  
so, or from a working FreeBSD install on one of the drives.  Your  
SCSI disks will be /dev/da0, da1, etc and your IDE disks will be /dev/ 
ad0, ad1, etc.



  I'd like to be able to copy (dd) one to another.


While dd will work, in the sense that you can copy blocks of data  
directly, it is unlikely that the two drives will be of the same size  
and have the same geometry/partition table.  This may or may not  
present a problem, but you might want to consult:

There are some excellent FAQs and how-to's at http://www.postfix.org. If 
postfix is installed from the ports it is fairly trivial to set up. The 
respective add-on programs (like spam assassin) have very good documentation. 
There seems to be a new OReilly Postfix book, but I haven't read it so I 
can't comment on how useful it is.

When a disk spins down, the heads move to the landing zone, stop
floating on an air-cushion that forms when the platters are spinning and
come in contact with the platters.

So the disk platters are lubricated to prevent wear and tear during
stops/starts. Now in the past these lubricants used to become sticky
over time, preventing the drive from starting up. I'm not sure if it is
still a problem these days; my workstation is on 24/7.

The difference between SCSI and IDE is in the controller. The underlying
technology is the same. SCSI drives might be built to higher
specifications though.

The only real solution to the parking problem that I'm aware of is IBM's
load/unload technology. See

Nah, don't do it this way.  Our friendly Ports hackers have already
ported Samba3 with ADS support to FreeBSD.  All you need is to build
using the Ports:

1. Start by obtaining a /usr/ports tree, i.e. through CVSup.

2. Configure and install Samba3

tarja:/# cd /usr/ports/net/samba3
tarja:/usr/ports/net/samba3# make config

   (Make sure you enable ADS support at the configuration dialog that
   pops up when you type "make config".)

tarja:/usr/ports/net/samba3# make install

That should install Samba3 as a "port", instead of a precompiled "package"..

DRM is the Direct Rendering Manager; a framewrk for allowing direct

used to make OpenGL 3D rendering faster.

Compiling for the first time (more or less)

[Derrill Guilbert]

Up until now, I've been able to get by just using ports, and mostly just 
the magic "pkg_add -r" ...


Now I'm trying to create a samba server that will join a Win2k domain. I 
managed to install Samba 3.12 using pkg_add -r samba3 ... and at the 
very end I get a message saying that the ADS support is disabled by 
default, because it creates a kerberos dependency and (I thought it 
said) further that I'd have to compile my own.


Ok, fine. I've got the source from samba.org ... where's the basic "roll 
your own" page in the handbook? I'm probaby searching for the wrong 
thing or need to spend some time at the Sylvan learning center for my 
Being Stupid disability. Please, someone tell me where in the handbook 
or elsewhere to find the basics of how to reconfigure for and do the 
Make thing.


I was run through it once by a friend, but it was one of those "ok, vi 
[filename], search for [some string], change it to [some other string], 
save the file, run make, then make install" (I think) ... and it was 
long ago. So I suppose it will look kind of familiar when I find it, but 
I'd like to have something to read while I do it.


Or maybe I'm asking the wrong question? If you'd like to point me to the 
correct question, that would also be lovely.

I am upgrading a system FBSD 5.4 to 6.0. I had tried to install 6.0 
BETA2 but it failed because the USB keyboard was not found. The PC is a 
new Dell, it has no other connections for keyboard than USB so I can't

So, where do I go from here? Is there somehow I can configure single

You can interrupt the boot loader and at the OK prompt run "ls" to see
what the loader has mounted as the root partition.  Then, assuming that
you locate your kernel in ``/boot/kernel/kernel'', loading a specific
kernel can be done with:

OK set bootfile=/boot/kernel/kernel
OK set module_path=/boot/kernel
OK load kernel
OK boot

partition takes about 2 hours just to make the snapshot, which means 
filesystem activity is suspended for that time).  If it was set to 
"YES", and bgfsck exited abnormally, I don't think it will get mounted 
automatically, so he would have had to manually mount it, correct? 
Mikhail, do any of those scenario's sound like a match?

tape backup coredump

[Michael Sherman]

Good morning all.

I am having a problem with my tape drive, which gives me a coredump
when I try to "bsdtar" any directory. The gtar doesn't, however it
exits with an error message. I was wondering if anyone had similar
issues.

I am running 5.3 release, with the GENERIC kernel, only it was
recompiled with the following flags:

CPUTYPE?=p3
CFLAGS= -O -pipe

The SCSI card is Tekram, and the tape drive is Sony, the models can be
seen from the dmesg.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 110, Issue 24

[as2sb3100]

I've installed FreeBSD to a 1gb usb drive, but getting it to boot is really the 
hard part.  The new dells at my work boot off the USB drive just fine, but the 
Gateways at my school (that did have a boot from usb option) seem to have a 
problem with it.  The Gateway BIOS must not have drivers, or something, Im not 
sure, but the Gateways would boot off my USB harddrive that had freebsd on it.  
If your getting to the boot loader though, it should work.  Are you booting 
from usb, or your hd?  And what kind of errors is it giving you?  I had some 
problems with it changing the device name, but that was when i was going from 
one computer to another.  Some computers have different usb devices/drivers and 
so it changes the device name, I don't know the exact details.  It's been a 
while since I did this.  When the boot loader trys to load the kernel, and then 
it trys to mount the filesystem (or the umm, something) it trys to look in 
da0s1, but it might change to something else.  When yo
 u copied / and /usr over to your usb drive, it also copied settings and stuff 
(not realy sure).  It might be trying to load the filesystem from da0s1 (mian 
hd) instead of da1s2 or something wierd like that.  Id try and actually install 
FreeBSD to your USB drive using a bootable FreeBSD cd.  I was surprised when it 
detected the USB drive.  You of course don't get the most updated version, but 
it will probably work a lot better.  Interestingly, Windows 2k will see a usb 
drive also, but of course it fails like it always does.  Hope this helps, or at 
least points you in the right direction.  For a better explanation of the 
booting process read 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot.html I'm sure 
that I messed it all up in the way I explained it.

Something is trying to perform a DNS lookup and timing out, most probably.

Weird print behaviour in Firefox/Mozilla/Thunderbird and FreeBSD 6.0

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.

I realize a weird printing behaviour of Thunderbird/Mozilla/Firefox. 
Whenever I try to print a page the software gets stuck and it takes 
several minutes before it come back to ask me for the printer. After 
clicking on the print button it takes again several minutes before the 
job gets printed.


Watching the process via 'top' I can not recognize anything unspecific, 
but the process (either one of the above mentioned) remains in 'kserel'.


I realized this strange behaviour on another machine which is not 
attached to a network nor has a printer, but viewing the print-preface 
results in the same stuck behaviour.


Hope it is a simple, stupid misconfiguration or anything similar, but 
two different configs and environments produce the same "stuckness". 
printing on the specific machines is no problem (using lpd, not CUPS!).


In the past I had problems with CUPS, which gets partially installed 
when using GIMP print. How can I investigate whether the problem is 
related to a conflict between the traditional BSD lpd (which is used on 
all of our boexs) and CUPS?


Thanks,
Oliver

General purpose can also mean many different things.
Do you mean a personal desktop or would that include serving
a web site or  include some database stuff or name service (DNS).
How about Email and virus checking and how about ftp and allowing
anonymous ftp.Will others be allowed to have accounts and log in.
Will you mostly use it from the 'console' eg keyboard, monitor and mouse
plugged directly in to the machine or over the net.   How about music
and video - are you planning to create you on personal video memoirs?
All of these things affect how you allocate resources as well as which 
software you install.

You didn't say how much memory your box has either.

But, with that much disk, as long as you don't plan to serve a large
database (but some moderate personal database such as names, books,
CDs & tapes, etc) or allow extra users that you isolate in some separate
space, a basic system with about 1 GB of memory might go like:

  (a) 512 MB   /  (root)
  2 GB swap
  (e) 512 MG   /tmp
  (f) 2 GB /usr  
  (g) 20 GB/var
  (g) remainder of disk 0 (about 50 GB) /home

  2 GB swap
  (e) remainder of disk 1 (about 70 GB) /work

Then move /usr/local to /home/usr.local and create a symlink
 move /usr/ports to /home/usr.ports and create a synlink
Also maybe
 move /var/spool to /home/var.spool and create a symlink
 move /var/mail to  /home/var.mail  and create a symlink
 move /var/log to   /home/var.log   and create a symlink

If 20 GB turns out to not be enough for your databases, then later
move some or all of /var/db  to /work/var.db  and create a synlink

The typical book and handbook examples of very tiny root and swap
and having /tmp inside /usr or whatever are out of date in a world
of many GB disks and GT 1 GB memory.On the other hand, you don't
really want to make root too giant and stick everything in there because 
it means that, if you need to recover from backups after a disaster, 
you would have to load and do everything on that giant root.  With
a reasonable sized root, you can rebuild it and get enough of the
system going to make it easy to finish recovering.   Also, having
a moderate sized root reduces the likelyhood, somewhat, that a 
disk error will pop up in your root partition and that makes a
potential recovery a little more possible.  

Actually, that last is true of all the file systems.   The model I show 
above shows putting only basic stuff in  smaller file systems and then
everything else in giant rest-of-the-disk file systems.  But, having more 
moderate sized divisions of disk means that you spread stuff out over 
more divisions and that means less stuff is affected when a disk error 
shows up in a particular division (partition).Of course, it also 
makes doing backups more complicated.So, you balance that.

Re: nForce4-SLI, AHCI and NCQ and FreeBSD 6.0

[Malachi de Ælfweald]

I have noticed the same thing with the onboard Silicon Image controller. I 
am using the A8N-SLI Premium. I am using the Silicon Image controller 
instead of the nForce4 controller because it specifically said SATAII and 
said it supported RAID5 (whereas the nForce did not support RAID5). However, 
on boot it recognizes it as SATA150 (which should be SATA300).

Or maybe ipfw understands layer 7 now, and I missed that release :)... 
(just curious on how you are setting this up if you only have a few IPs)


Cheers,

[OT] Life expectancy of powered down hard drives....

[Norberto Meijome]

hi all,
I know this doesn't relate to FBSD per se, but I figured i'd try to pick 
your brains :)


I read somewhere (sorry, cant remember where) that hard drives fail if 
not powered up every so often (not sure of time frames, but the 
discussion was about tapes still being better for backups than hard 
drives if planning for long term storage). It was also mentioned a 
"knock on the centre of the drive" to bring it back to life (??).


How much truth is in this? I have EIDE drives that I havent used in 
years and I just tested them and they work fine...but again, I've had an 
instance of a new drive, used twice to backup some info and then left 
untouched for 10 months, and it wouldn't even spin up...


Does this affect SCSI drives? I suppose it would be more likely to 
affect desktop-quality IDE / SATA drives...


Any insights will be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Beto

Re: Won't go into multi-user mode

[Christopher H. Laco]

Like it was any surprise, this was a stupid user trick.
When I install FBSD, I install bash and call bash in .cshrc for root, 
rather than changing the root shell in vipw. That way, if bash broaks, 
I'm still left with a root login that works.


Apparently, that is what was causing the mysql-server.sh script to never 
return completely, leaving me in single-user mode. Removing my call to 
bash from .cshrc fixed that problem.


On the lighter side, I had another problem that I solved at the same 
time as well. With ipfilter_enable and ipfilter_rules in rc.conf, ipf 
wasn't loading all of my rules in that file. ipfstat -io didn't output 
the same amount of rules that were in my rules file.


Calling ipf -Fav manually did the trick and ipfstat -io showed all of 
the expected rules.


Changing ipfilter_program/flags to include -Fav -f allowed all of my 
rules to be loaded at boot. This was the same rules file I used on the 
previouw 4-STABLE install.


Not sure if that was a change in IPF, or what, but at least it's fixed.

Thanks,
-=Chris

According to dmesg.boot, this filesystem was flagged as "not properly

Yours analysis is, likely, correct then... I guess, the fix should be

IPFW counters.

Hi all,

I am in the midst of setting up bandwidth monitoring for all my domains and

Question: I have about 250 domains on each box. to monitor all of them, I 
would need to set up over 500 counter rules, how well will ipfw and freebsd

nForce4-SLI, AHCI and NCQ and FreeBSD 6.0

[O. Hartmann]

Hello.
I have a little question about the popular nForce4-SLI chipset for the 
Socket 939 platform. The onboard SATA controller of the nForce4-SLI 
chipset claims to be NCQ (or SATA II) capable, but nVidia implemented 
this feature in a not-AHCI-standardised way, but as an own solution. My 
question is: Is the FBSD 6.X driver for the nForce4-SLI chipset capable 
of using NCQ (as I know, the driver has to enable NCQ and it's not done 
automatically by the harddrive-controller interaction).


Thanks in advance,

I have not been able to find a definitive listing in regards to this

Mikhail,

Have you recently experienced a system crash or hard reboot without proper 
shutdown?  I know of at least one case prior to 6.x where this can occur 
-- a bug I reported to Kirk relating to bgfsck.  Basically, soft update 
guarantees that upon reboot after failure (power or otherwise), the 
on-disk layout of UFS meta-data will be consistent, except with respect to 
reference and link counts, which may be elevated.  What bgfsck does is 
walk the file system to identify and correct the elevated counts.  Here's 
a specific example of such a problem:


  Directory A is created
Write A directory data  (., ..)
Write A directory inode (new inode)
Write A parent inode(link count++)
Write A parent data (add name)
  Directory B is created
Write B directory data  (., ..)
Write B directory inode (new inode)
Write A directory inode (link count++)
XXX
Write A directory data  (add name)
  Directory B is removed
Write A directory data  (remove name)
XXX
Write A directory inode (link count--)

Note that if the sequence of events his halted at either of the XXX's 
above, the inode link count on directory A will be elevated, even though 
the name for B has been removed from A.  Background fsck comes alone 
later, notices that the counts are elevated, and drops them.  However, 
until ufs_vnops.c:1.269, this caused a problem: because the link count was 
elevated, UFS assumed that the directory contained a reference to another 
directory, and would not let it be removed.  Once bgfsck catches up with 
the directory, it can be removed.


I've seen this symptom most frequently following a crash or a power outage 
during an rm -Rf of a /usr/obj, which I then immediately restart on 
reboot, and rm -Rf gets there before bgfsck does.  Here's the commit 
message for ufs_vnops.c:1.269, which should be MFC'd:


  revision 1.269
  date: 2005/05/18 22:18:21;  author: mckusick;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -3
  Allow removal of empty directories with high link counts. These can
  occur on a filesystem running with soft updates after a crash and
  before a background fsck has been run. To prevent discrepancies
  from arising in a background fsck that may already be running,
  the directory is removed but its inode is not freed and is left
  with the residual reference count. When encountered by the
  background fsck it will be reclaimed.

I'll e-mail Kirk and ask if he's comfortable enough with the change to 
this point to merge it.

Which version of FBSD are you on? On 5.X you can add options to the 
dchlient.conf as described in the previous mail. Alternatively you can 
(IIRC) add options in rc.conf:


  ifconfig_wi0="ssid  wepmode on wepkey  DHCP"

This has the unfortunate effect that you can only configure for one network.

On 6.0 the old dhclient has been replaced by OpenBSD's dhclient and 
wpa_supplicant. In that case, including options in dhclient.conf won't work.


Instead you configure the wireless networks you know in wpa_supplicant.conf

Digital Video/Firewire: missing link?

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,

After reading a lot of documentation it appeared that passing digital 
video would be easy, so I jumped in and bought a Canon MVX200.


Now I have a missing link: Connecting via firewire to get the raw video.

The camera has two modes: Play and Network, according to the manual 
network mode is for transfering DV via the firewire.


I have tried in both modes to connect and transfer data both using 
fwcontrol and the tools installed with dvts, but it fails:


fwcontrol:

charm# fwcontrol -R test.dv
(EAGAIN)
(EAGAIN)
fwcontrol: unknown format 0x2
charm# fwcontrol -R test.dv
fwcontrol: read failed: Input/output error

dvts tools:

charm# dvrecv
Found AV/C device
Vendor: Canon
Model: MVX200
total : -1 frames (0 Bytes)
charm# dvconnect
open video1394 device: No such file or directory
charm# dvconnect -d /dev/fw0
mmap videobuffer: Invalid argument

VIDEO1394_LISTEN_CHANNEL: Invalid argument
charm# dvconnect -d /dev/fwmem0.0
VIDEO1394_LISTEN_CHANNEL: Invalid argument
charm# dvconnect -d /dev/fw0

I have tried to toggle hw.firewire.try_bmr as described in fwcontrol(8) 
but with no change. fwcontrol -r does not change anything either.


What am I missing?

Further, changing mode or reconnecting have caused panics.

Thanks! Erik

Re: ls -l taking too much time

[Pavel Baleshenko]

Hello. I've the same problem on 5.3.
I think the problem occurs while file is being stat and passwd (uid to
name). Each file in /var/mail has its own owner. Try `ktrace ls -l` and look
the size of final dump file. May be its solution is in the tuning of the PAM
authorization.
