If you don't want to save multiple versions of the same tree (from different dates), you could use rsync. It might be a lot quicker than cp because it skips files that haven't changed since the last backup. But unless your collection of files is almost as large as the USB drive, I would keep saving backups of different dates (with tar & gzip) until you run out of space and have to start deleting older backups. > Will this work, and is it a "good idea"?

Most drives come with a FAT32 filesystem, which has to use large clusters (16 or 32k) on bigger drives. This can waste a lot of space if you're backing up lots of small files. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32 Additionally, you'll have to recompile the kernel to support FAT32 filesystems >128GB, IIRC.

You are probably right, the main differences between the two models is the graphics card (intel opposed to ati radeo of the pro), xorg configuration (which can be found by linux projects, such as gentoo etc). The actual core is the same, in the end of the day they have the same processor (at different speeds of course). Is there any tutorial/howto to suggest beside the one [*] i found?

I gave my old box to Gary, it's an HDMI ATI 7000 series card, and the card has an HDMI to Dual VGA plug along with it. I forgot that all the items were still in the box (did that to ensure that everything was put in the box and made it through shipping all right). Anyhow, getting back to the video thing at hand, if Gary was to purchase a card he should purchase an nVidia card. It's the only brand with OpenGL support properly enabled in Linux and FreeBSD. 5000-6000 series would be sufficient. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Gary,
Most cards that might come with DVI output instead of the standard
VGA output usually include at least one DVI-VGA adapter, an
additional one could be purchased at most computer retailers or your
local Radio Shack.

It does help, thanks, Eric. I may have missed the cord adaptor
that was stuck in the box. Need help to open/check. Meanwhile,
I need to look at the specs for this Dell 8200 to see what kind
of card is in there. What's there is a jack with two rows of
sockets. I'm guessing this is the standard Dell "DVI" connector,
yes, no, other? :-)
It is not a cord adapter. It is a solid piece not much bigger than
the connector on the end of a VGA cord.
Also, in your opinion, since I'm not a gamer and just want to
display at extreme most 1600x1200, do I need anything seriously
upscale? I've seen and skipped past lots of questions about lots
of drivers. So let's say that I went totally ape and bought some
AGP card with 256M of memory:: do we have a driveer for those
kinds of very high end cards?
VGA should work fine as long as your cables are short (10' - 15' maximum
total length) and the KVM is suitable for your scan rate and scan settings.
thanks again,

In dhclient.conf, add your own DNS servers, plus your ISP's as backup:
Interface "xl0" {
prepend domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers;
}
Get new ip:
# dhclient xl0

Here's another round of dumb questions for ya: Can USB jump drives be used to back-up a Samba share? If so, what do I need to do to prepare the USB drive to accept files? Since I don't really need to compress or encrypt, I was thinking about simply copying the entire directory tree using the cp command, instead of using dump, tar, cpio.

sshd segfaults on exit when no tty allocated
Hello, When I ssh into FreeBSD hosts without allocating a tty, sshd segfaults after the process terminates. This problem occurs on both 6_1_REL and 6_2_REL installations at all sorts of patch levels. Examples: Client: `ssh -t server ls` Server Logs: | May 9 15:33:44 server sshd[1503]: Accepted publickey for ccowart from | client port 43604 ssh2 | May 9 15:33:45 server sshd[1505]: pam_sm_close_session(): no utmp | record for ttyp5 Client: `ssh server ls` Server Logs: | May 9 15:33:50 server sshd[1509]: Accepted publickey for ccowart from | client port 42119 ssh2 | May 9 15:33:51 server pid 1511 (sshd), uid 1225: exited on signal 11 In either example, the client thinks the command has completed successfully, shows proper output, and propogates the return value from the remote command. The main problem is I don't like seeing a bunch of segfaults being logged in the daily run output. Our sshd_config stock, except we set `PermitRootLogin yes`. Does anyone know why this happens?

WOW! {Or Holy whatever}
I asked somebody directly, but I may as well ask the entire list. I'm looking for a video-card. The more recent mobo's (like the i815) have them builtin. My 750MHz machine uses the SRAM for its v-RAM. My old Kayaks came with Matrox Millennium 8MB video card that give me Plenty of resolution under xorg.

For RGB i suggest you use a 8 bit per color (R,G and B) or 24 bit per pixel. Or if you work under YUV/YcrCb spaces a 12bit as minimum (YUV12 or 4:2:0 space). Final numbers for PAL RGB are 24 x 720 x 576 x 25 = 29'96 MB/sec (Your 8x720x576x25 are 9'88MB/sec, not 20) and for YUV12 14'98 MB/sec. You can use a lossless videocodec for capture, huffyuv is the faster/better and you have a "native" Windows VfW version. All current computers can compress with it "on the fly" (my 3-4 years old 2Ghz Athlon shows 70 fps) and can halve the data rate. In the freebsd you can use ffmpeg based apps for decode it (and encode), that's all apps. If you can work with lossy video codec use x264 on the Windows side, tuned for "on the fly" / "live" compression, if not you will lost frames. Again, ffmpeg can decode it on freebsd. You can get 1 MB/sec or less. Check dirac (don't know if a freebsd port works) and if you want to pay, try VP7, the big brother of macromedia flash codec. >In addition to this 1-5 machines will have access to the fileserver through >a shared Gigabit network connection for making DVDs and use the files as >source for editing.

It may be a dream... . > There's some cool math out there that explains all of this but I never liked math, but it isn't necessary to know the math to understand the issue. Just consider the problem for a while and you will realize that the compression ratio of a specific data stream varies dependent on the amount of repetition in the input datastream. A perfectly unrandom datastream, like a constant series of logical 1's, carries no information, but has a compression ratio that is infinite. A perfectly random datastream, on the other hand, also carries no information, but has a compression ratio that is zero. I believe that a datastream that is 50% of the way between either extreme carries the most information, and I believe your typical datastream is much closer to the perfectly unrandom side than the perfectly random side, compression is merely the process of pushing the randomness of the stream closer to the random side. Actually, the more information (as such) the closer the data stream is to perfectly random. The relation- ship might be asymptotic, but I am no maths major. Thus, if the input datastream is very close to the perfectly unrandom side - meaning it has a very high amount of repetition in it, you can get some pretty spectacular compression ratios. But as you move closer to unrandom, you carry less data. So, the better applications emit datastreams that are less unrandom, therefore compression does not work as well on them. I suppose this leads to the discussion about what "data" and "information" really are. Imagine a can. The can is data. Imagine tha can is full of worms. This of course is completely ignoring the other data issue, is the application data efficient to begin with? For example, you can transfer about a page of information in ASCII that consumes about 1K of data, that same page of information in a MS Word file consumes a hundred times that amount of space - Word is therefore extremely inefficient with data. In this case, since word "has to" replace typesetting, layout, and formatting software, in addition to being a word processor the header and meta information tend to bloat the files quite a lot. Every few years someone comes along who makes some mad claims about some new buzzword-enhanced compression technology. Obviously, if there is ever a radical leap forward in that area the theory will have to follow, since modern theory cannot accomodate (lossless) compression past the point of randomness (generally less than 16:1 even for Danielle Steele). mp3, avi, real media mpeg, et al are a different story entirely, sicne they are lossy and optimised for their respective information. -rw-r--r-- 1 1705 1705 7826420 May 9 10:58 ssion_i_really_fuckin_care_about_you.rm -rw-r--r-- 1 1705 1705 7791691 May 9 10:58 ssion_i_really_fuckin_care_about_you.rm.bz2 In this case, very slightly compressible: with some data your resulting file will be slightly larger, yet the raw datastream (and it looks like it was filmed from a cameraphone here (though most likely an 8mm digicam (these, I believe, compress on the fly, so the raw datastream never touches tape))) would probably have been many tens, if not several hundreds, of megabytes.

Samba does have some performance issues out of the box (see Solon Luigi Lutz's thread from 04-10, similar situation but a little bit more later in the game).

You can do this by adding the interface name as optional parameter. Nevertheless, any routing information regarding this interface gets dropped, in your case it most probably the interface of the default gateway. So, your interface will come back, but will be reachable only in its subnet. Something like | # /etc/rc.d/netif restart bge0 && /etc/rc.d/routing restart in a screen session should do the trick. -cs ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I doesn't appear to matter, I think dhclient bypasses the firewall. at

See dhclient.conf(5) for how to control what DHCP does to resolv.conf,

Video fileserver - Need some input
I'm planning a new fileserver for my post-production facility and need some input regarding filesystems and network setup. I've been a FreeBSD fan for almost 10 years now and will try to build this server based on the latest stable FreeBSD version, allthough most machines here run WinXP. We have an internal 1 Gigabit network here and in addition to this the video fileserver will have two direct NIC connections to two WinXP capture stations. I will most likely be using a Raid-0 or a Raid-5 setup with SATA drives. The system will have something like 4-8 TB of HDD space. I'm not so afraid of loosing data, but we need a system that is fast and will allow capture from two external Windows XP machines through direct Gigabit ethernet. The datarates are 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20 MB per/sec, or 70 GB per/hr. 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 26 MB per/sec, or 93 GB per/hr. In addition to this 1-5 machines will have access to the fileserver through a shared Gigabit network connection for making DVDs and use the files as source for editing. In short: There will be two direct 1Gb network connections and one shared 1Gb connection. Will the server hold up? So, my questions are, will the default FreeBSD filesystem be fast enough? Are there any special settings I need to do during slice/partitioning? The files will be LARGE. :-) Samba will probably be ideal for the shared connection so users can browse the directories. Samba should be able to do this, right? Any other recommendations are very welcome. Thanks! Regards, Andreas W.

I tried to run this in some 'fallback' script, which automatically should restore the old configuration and restarting the network interface again after 5 minutes. Even if that failed, it should reboot the machine. But somehow the script was aborted, although I ran it in a 'screen' session over SSH. So the last resort was a manual reboot, which started the interface with MTU 1472 just fine. Could someone please point out where I made the mistake?

Re: How to make Apache (2.2.4) less greedy, or Sendmail less polite? [semi-solved]
Hi again, Tnx for your further recommendations. I'll take the following actions: 1) I'll report the IP addresses to Spamcop and Spamhaus (note that indeed it appears to be virus-driven, or operated through backdoors, as the server is under constant "attack", coming from a variety of IP addresses). That way, perhaps the ISPs can at least inform the "responsible" people that they have virus infections, and need to act upon it. 2) I may try the hosts.allow trick, but I fear that the IP addresses will be very diverse, so that may not be as full-proof as I'd like. Probably I'll make use of captcha, or something of the likes. 3) I had already tried using Apache to block any and all access to the script, but from the machine itself, but I had done so by adding an "Allow from 123.456.789.10" entry (with the real life IP address, instead of "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"). This didn't do the trick, and I can see why. I'll try this with setting this to "Allow from localhost" or "Allow from 127.0.0.1", and will the perhaps have to change the action handler somewhat. Either way: I should have enough information for now to properly act upon it (though I still welcome further suggestions), so thanks a lot again! :) Cheers!

Can't get FreeBSD to boot automatically from RAID 5 system
Hello, I purchased a RocketRaid card + 3 disks, and moved my FreeBSD 6.1 to it using dump, I then changed my fstab entry to use da0s1d for /, I made sure that the it is bootable, I told my raid controller to be bootable, I set it up to boot in my BIOS as the first device, I added the kernel module to the /boot/default/loader.conf so tha it is loaded, I modified the loader.cong so that the root_dev="disk0s1d", but when I reboot, it says "Invalid partition" and prompts me to enter the correct partition. It apperently tried to use 0:da(0,a)/boot/loader so I tell it to use 0:da(0,d)/boot/loader and it boots, everything works fine. I must have forgotten to do something, because it always tries to boot da0s1a instead of da0s1d. Does anyone have an idea on how I can tell it to boot from da0s1d?

Re: ip refresh, resolv.conf and local scripts on startup?
hrm, thanks, but this doesn't seem to work:
`ifconfig xl0 down` doesn't do anything... executes without error, but the
interface stays up.
`/sbin/dhclient` gets a new IP, but doesn't "re-do" the firewall with new
IP, so everything is broken.
echo nameserver 123.34.45.67 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 321.23.67.328 >> /etc/resolv.conf
This is over written on startup/reboot by the dhcpclient. If I modify the
file, then it tries to "correct" it self and over writes the file with the
DNS servers provided via the DHCP server.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Jack
