Re: I2O vs. Mass Storage Modes on Dell Perc Controller
On May 10, 2006, at 11:57 PM, Questions wrote: I just installed 6.1 on a Dell PowerEdge 1850 and the RAID adapter was initially set for Mass Storage mode. I read that I2O mode is a better mode, so I flipped it to I2O, and the machine booted fine. For some reason this confuses me. I would assume that my changing the emulation of the RAID Adapter would cause the machine to no longer boot. Am I wrong in this assumption and switching between emulation modes should not affect booting? Disclaimer: I probably don't know what I am talking about and am not familiar with the various modes of the Dell RAID controller etc. Why would you expect it to affect booting? I suspect that the machines BIOS makes the RAID available no matter what the mode and that the boot happens on the "bios" disk (through a "bios" interface). Again, this is not my area of knowledge but that is what I am guessing.

Intelligent way of dealing with dependancies in ports
I'm rather tired of having to update firefox port due security fixes and then having to build the new versions of glib, expat, and so on an so on, every one of which complains that tere are older versions of the lib installed. I've tried pkg_delete -f and install of the newer version, but then all the binaries in the system started complaining because they don't find the exact version of the shared library they are compiled with. What's the intelligent way of dealing with the problem?

A real answer would be something that would get rid of this continual resurgence of this discussion. Based on responses I'd estimate about 60% of FBSD users didn't want the logo changed before the contest. Based on responses post-contest results, I think about 90% of users hate the new logo. Now, the folks that didn't want the logo changed, well you can assume most of them aren't going to like the new logo. But it's pretty clear that quite a large number of the "lets change the logo" proponents don't like what they got. Thus, the alleged "problem" of Beastie being used as the logo, wasn't solved. No amount of referring people to other lists is going to satify anyone - because it's still a problem. When FreeBSD changed to CAM and broke support for the Adaptec 1520 SCSI card, tons of people complained on this forum, and many other in-appropriate forums. This continued despite repeated statements from the developers in charge of such things that the Adaptec 1520 chipset is terrible, find another one, etc. etc. Finally someone wrote the driver and the complaints went away - because the real answer had happened. If core simply cannot tolerate Beastie as the logo, so they simply have to have something else, then the only real answer is to ditch the sex toy and draw another "new" logo to replace it. Hell, commercial companies do this all the time. That would be the logical response. But, core won't do it because egos are involved here, and to do this would be an open admission that they fucked up. Seems to be that the core developers have no problem admitting when they have fucked up some technical decision about how FreeBSD is structured internally. But, when it comes to something like a poor result of a silly contest, they are unable to grok that. Very very strange.

I had to get something from the printer this afternoon, so I printed out a copy of the new logo and took it with me. I ask them how much for 1K CD case inserts.

Disclaimer: I probably don't know what I am talking about and am not familiar with the various modes of the Dell RAID controller etc. Why would you expect it to affect booting? I suspect that the machines BIOS makes the RAID available no matter what the mode and that the boot happens on the "bios" disk (through a "bios" interface). Again, this is not my area of knowledge but that is what I am guessing. I really can't give you a good answer :) I think it's just an assumption based on ignorance. I've had alot of problems in the past with booting, hard drives, etc so I think it was natural for me to think a change to the array like that would affect booting. I would agree with your point, that the BIOS would make the raid available no matter what the mode is, but I read something in the Dell docs that I2O required Dell Drivers. I think that's what also triggered the assumption of breakage :) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/66JVW/BIOS_Utl.htm#Objects_Menu (Scroll down to Table 4 under Emulation) it mentiones the difference between I2O and Mass Storage. One needing Dell drivers specifically, the other needed Dell Drivers or OS drivers. That was the natual progression for me to think that if I changed this setting, it would use a different driver, thus affecting the bootup. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: New FreeBSD logo
Why, oh why, would you post this? So help me to understand...The FreeBSD Project takes great effort in not only producing a truly _great_ operating system, trademarked as being fast, robust, stable and secure, provides it to the world for _free_, but also takes on the additional chore of attempting to promote its growth in the corporate market by introducing a new logo...and then some, all for the community. And your repayment is to aid in these, now, endless rants of verbal bashing of the Project's logo, which had an obvious goal of gaining wider popularity among busnesses for the purposes of making it bigger and better for, yes, _you_ and every other one of its users. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, and maybe I'm solo dangling out there on it, but I feel a need to say something in defense. They spent much valued donation money for the logo and in legal fees, I'm sure, to obtain it, so I would assume (and hope) it's here to stay. Furthermore, by continuing to post threads like this you (and others) are hardly contributing to the Project (or this list) and, in fact, are doing the exact opposite - you are attempting to destroy the new logo's image by imaturely calling it a "sex toy" and in turn are slowly taking away from those precious dollars put into aquiring it. Maybe it's not the greatest logo, but, regardless, the logo doesn't affect the code. Try to keep that in mind. FreeBSD is a gift. And anyone who doesn't see that should take another look at Microsoft's pricing options for a simple Home edition of XP (now $99, five years after its initial release).

Re: 6.1_RELEASE Install Problem
Ok, let's assume for now that something was wrong with the makefile or there was a glitch in the make/install process. (I have only updated once before so I have never had to recover from something like this.) Would it be ok to simply repeat the entire process, minus the cvsup part?

Not completely left out, but less involved than might be ideal. I just wish the FreeBSD community had more ability to create meaningful logos. Their talents seem to all lie in the area of creating and managing software systems... By the way, here where I work, they made a big fuss and came up with a new 'logo' that we are required to have on our cards and such and it is totally meaningless and unrelated to what our department is or does.

If you keep your distfiles around, then you will only need to download any source files that have changed since last build (This applies to both portupgrade and portmanager). To help keep on top of distfiles and packages, you can use the portsclean utility that is installed as part of portupgrade. (I have both ports installed on my machines, as both are very useful.)

Issue setting SSID
Hey, I've got an RTL8180 that I have compiled a module for using ndisgen. The first time I installed FreeBSD, this worked fine, with exactly the same version of the driver, and I was able to use it, however, the computer power ran out during a portupgrade, rendering /usr unuseable. Now that I have reinstalled FreeBSD from scratch (wiping the partition and reinstalling from the same FreeBSD6.0-RELEASE cds), I have recompiled the module using ndisgen again, and kldload rtl8180_sys loads the module (with ndis and if_ndis loaded), without any errors output. An ifconfig shows ndis0, including the correct MAC Address. Now, when I try to set the ssid with ifconfig ndis0 ssid wingot (the name of my home network), and then run another ifconfig, ndis0 still has an SSID of only "". I have also reinstalled the system another time since, and the same issue is occuring.

ftp install / base not found
Dear FreeBSD Questions, I have a not-so-new laptop that I tried to install FBSD on yesterday. This laptop can only be made to boot from floppies (usb boot doesn't work, no cdrom) and I happen to have some 5.3-RELEASE boot floppies laying around. I am successfully able to get into the installer, format the disk, create new FS's, DHCP, select the "Minimal" distribution and try the FTP install. But, no matter what I do, the ftp servers never have the distribution. I tried several, including ftp.freebsd.org. I have had this problem repeatedly over the years, always with older distributions. The error message says that I can go to the Options menu and change my distribution to "any", but that never works either. What's the story? Do older bases get removed from the ftp servers, or is there a different string I should be using in options (I tried 5.3-STABLE), or am I missing something?

That document deals mainly with the performance and reliability of the different types of hard drives (i.e. SATA vs SCSI). My questions that I'm posting is not really related towards the performance of the system, it's more towards the capacity of the system... I guess it boils down to the physical hardware... How does everything connect, how to expand systems, and how to run arrays bigger than what one single controller can provide... Look at the Areca SATA controllers. An 8 port RAID 6 SATA controller using 8 drives, 1 a hot spare, gives you about 5 drives worth of RAID 6 (5 + 2 parity = 7 drives, can suffer up to 2 simultaneous drive failures) and the Areca seem to be well regarded. I have an 8 port and a 12 port one but not in service yet. Areca has FBSD drivers. 5 drives * 500GB is a about 2.125 "real" TB (given that 500GB drive is not really 500 real GB) (calculation made with simple ratios and could be way off). The 12 port Areca card with 1 hot spare and RAID 6 would give you 9 * 500GB = about 3.825 real TB To get the size of array you want you need to go SATA as the SCSI drives aren't really big enough to get that big without getting into major major money. Use good, 24/7 rated SATA drives, not cheap maxtor or WD (think seagate or hitachi probably). Buy an extra drive to have or lose some capability and set up 2 hot spares.

RE: Copying a file system w/ tar - symbolic links not copied right.
I've tried both the BSD and GNU tars, I get the same results on both. It's very strange.

The problem with dump/restore is that I can't do it across the network and the file systems need to match.

Bourne shell scripting resources
Hello,
Can someone point me to a good on-line reference for Bourne shell

I don't understand it, don't know how to search the web for it.
For example, what do these special variable characters do?

The man page is a good start ;-)
Here's what is has to say about your questions:
${parameter%word}
Remove Smallest Suffix Pattern. The word is expanded to produce
a pattern. The parameter expansion then results in parameter,
with the smallest portion of the suffix matched by the pattern
deleted.
${parameter%%word}
Remove Largest Suffix Pattern. The word is expanded to produce a
pattern. The parameter expansion then results in parameter, with
the largest portion of the suffix matched by the pattern deleted.
In the second case, '\.*' is a shell file glob pattern.

very slow boot (newbie)
I have mangaged to install version 6.0 and have had a bit of a play, but not before re-installing because the boot had been so slow, I thought I must have mucked it up! However it was just a slow point in the boot sequence - but one which I still can't believe is normal. The boot sequence all goes smoothly, telling me all sorts of things I never thought I'd need to know, and frankly don't understand, until it gets to the following line: Configuring syscons: keymap blanktime screensaver. and then stops! I have timed it - it stops for between 4 and 5 minutes every time. Can this be normal? If not, what do I do? (Words of one syllable only please!) Thanks Barnaby Scott PS I am conscious that I don't really know the etiquette around here too well (apart from not mentioning the logo!) - I don't want to clutter the list with messages of thanks when help is given, but at the same time I don't want to seem ungrateful - which is right?

The good news is that you have the ural0 device, so now it's just a matter of configuration. Without encryption the only other thing I needed to specify to ifconfig was the channel (check the settings on your router for the channel number): eg. ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid DRAGON channel 1 and I was on the network. If that doesn't work, check the settings on your router - have you added the MAC address to the filter list, and are you sure WEP/WPA is turned off, are you in range of the router? Take a look at this article for info on wireless setup: http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/wireless/article.html Let me know how you get on.

Enable plugin nppdf.so in firefox?
Hello...
I'm having this problem with Firefox 1.5.0.2 / Mozilla 1.7.13
I check that the links it's correct and also reinstalled linuxpluginwrapper
and copied libmap.conf to /etc.
But when I try to see a pdf file with both browsers launched from command
line, I just get this message:

Advice on RAID?
I have looked into and tried FreeBSD 6.0 Vinum and GEOM RAID in our PIII SCSI 80-pin server with the help of several here on the list. I'm pretty much going to use GEOM RAID-1 for the system disks using Ralf's doc. I have room for 3 more disks. Would you recommend using Vinum RAID-5 on three 73GB drives or using GEOM RAID-1 again on 2 147GB drives? If there is no big reason to use either over the other, we've decided to go for the most space and RAID-5. But the amount of space we would be gaining is probably less than 50GB, correct? Or do you have another solution on our $700 budget. It is a debate here and would like to get experienced insight.

Johan, While I have never tried this, sysinstall appears to support entering non-standard FTP URLs. After you choose the FTP option, you can choose the FTP server. The second option in this list is 'URL', which allows you to type in any FTP site -- and as I presume, the ftp-archive site will work if entered here. -Andy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks to you both for your help, you are both FreeBSD Olympic Champions. One unresolved question remains: Does the "any" suggestion have any effect? Has anybody ever used it successfully?
