cant get the damn bandwidth limiter working
pf and altq are enabled. My ISP allows 16kB/s upload and 128kB/s download. I
want to use half of that. What should pf.conf contain, to limit my computer's
upload and download speeds? I've tried:
altq sk0 cbq bandwidth 1576Kb queue { lan, upload, download }
queue lan bandwidth 1000Kb cbq(default)
queue upload bandwidth 64Kb cbq
queue download bandwidth 512Kb cbq
block in all
pass in quick on sk0 from 192.168.0.0/16 queue lan
pass in all on sk0 queue download
block out all
pass out quick on sk0 to 192.168.0.0/16 queue lan
pass out all on sk0 queue upload
This setup gives programs like fetch the full download bandwidth, full upload
bandwidth, and allows LAN transfers only at 128kB/s. Removing the lan queue
allows the sk0 interface to run at a total of 72kB/s, that would be 64kB/s
download and 8kB/s download, as i need, but 1. when I'm not uploading, download
speed is 72kB/s; 2. when I'm not downloading, upload speed is 16kB/s (ISP
limit); and 3. when I'm transferring over LAN, internet speed is hindered, not
to mention the 72kB/s LAN speed. That sucks. pf allows 1 queueset per interface.
What now? Help plz? THX!

Not as elegant as your idea, but you can always dump from the snapshot and restore back on the filesystem. You can't use a pristine restore(8), and you need the extra space on the same filesystem, but it will work. Your basic idea seems quite workable as far as I can see, so it would be a Simple Matter of Programming to get it to work. [Note that since the copy-on-write mapping only goes one way, the code to do this will have to walk the whole snapshot filesystem, rebuilding inode status (and cleaning up ones that didn't exist in the snapshot) as it goes.

There should be some straightforward way of rolling back to a snapshot, since the files and all the file system structure are already there. Also, there might not be room on the disk for it. well, if you are using snapshot's you already have most likely calculated the overhead that the snapshot(s) will take - so i'm a little confused at to the lack of room available for the snapshot. it's not uncommon to have hourly, daily, weekly snapshot's of given volumes. User scenario: Before a major upgrade (eg. releng-current, portupgrade -a, etc), it would be nice to mksnap_ffs, and then after the upgrade be able to either delete the snapshot if all went well, or rollback to the snapshot. You should use dump(8) in this case. Create level 0 dumps of your filesystems and store them somewhere. You can dump live filesystems with dump's -L flag. If you botch the upgrade, you can use restore(8) to revert your filesystems to the situation before the upgrade. Note that you should really make regular dumps of your filesystems as backups anyway! This is also beyond the point, although I appreciate that you suggest alternative ways to meet my objectives. dump/restore would also require additional disk space. I do actually backup my data on a regular basis, but not all of my computers really need external backup, as I could stand some downtime. However, if I could easily make a snapshot, and then either roll back or delete it afterwards, it would be a nice compromise between security and effort. And also: it seems it should be possible to do this. If not, I might want to make a tool for it. they handbook has a pretty decent example of how to use dump along side mksnap_ffs - and it seems pretty robust to me. when dealing with whole filesystems and important data i think dump(8) is really the way to go as much work has been put into ensuring that you end up with a consistent image on disk. having said that - i see no reason why one couldn't write a wrapper around dump(8) and mksnap_ffs. -p -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Having fun installing FreeBSD on machine with a USB keyboard
I'm trying to install 6.2, then bootstrap up to 7-CURRENT on my desktop, but I'm having issues getting everything installed, because it fails to find / load the USB keyboard / HID modules. When I do load the uhid and ukbd modules at the boot prompt, the system just locks up after it tries to configure the atkbd module. The current handbook chapter doesn't suggest anything about installing with USB keyboards: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html but the archived one (I assume used to install 4.x/5.x based on the archived main page) says I should disable atkbd and load ukbd/uhid: http://www.pl.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html I can't do this though as the atkbd module is compiled into the kernel statically. Using the May snapshot of CURRENT, and yes I have legacy USB support compiled into the kernel.

You can't restore a previous situation _unless you saved it in some form_. So if you want a possibility to restore stuff, you'll have to keep a copy of it somewhere. Maybe in compressed form, and maybe you can clump changes together in a smart way, but you have to save the bits that you change. Every revision control system (which is effectively what you ask for) uses storage space to keep previous versions of data, although the precise method used for this varies. Disk space is cheap, and getting cheaper. Going through a lot of trouble to save a few bytes is almost certainly not cost effective. And keep in mind that you should really only use the tools that are available in /rescue. Using a fancy port won't help you if whatever you did borked /usr/local/bin. :) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) pgpK7aDwsAnTW.pgp Description: PGP signature

If I'm not clear, you could do better in asking me to clarify, than to assume that I am an idiot. Of course you need to save the data in some form, in order to restore it. I'm not asking for magic. Every revision control system (which is effectively what you ask for) uses storage space to keep previous versions of data, although the precise method used for this varies. Yes, but your suggested solution stores some data twice (at least for some time). And also it involves a lot of reading and writing (even though you could minimize it using rsync). Disk space is cheap, and getting cheaper. Going through a lot of trouble to save a few bytes is almost certainly not cost effective.

Using a fancy port won't help you if whatever you did borked /usr/local/bin. :) I am not talking about a backup solution here. I just want an easy way of saving the state, doing something potentially stupid, and then throw away the (stupid) changes real quick and painless. Of course if the disk breaks or something, I will need something else. It doesn't matter too much though; I just wanted to know if something existed or not. Sees it doesn't. Thanks for your time. Maybe I will make something. Maybe not.

Every revision control system (which is effectively what you ask for) uses storage space to keep previous versions of data, although the precise method used for this varies. I don't think he is talking about that. From what I understand about the snapshot system (correct me if I'm wrong) is that a snapshot creates it's own file system by remembering, for example, what the superblock was at the time of the snapshot. After that, the live file system continues on its way keeping track of the snapshot, but modifying its own blocks to account for the changes afterwards. I think what Svein wants to do is essentially overwrite a few blocks on the live file system, loosing all references to the changes that have been made and in effect returning the file system to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken. This is different from simply copying the contents of the snapshot back to the disk via an md device. This way he would restore the snapshot and lose it at the same time, but the operation should be O(1) in theory (time and space), as opposed to O(n) which any normal back-up/restore is. Personally, I think this an entirely reasonable thing to do, and I myself would like to see this kind of functionality. Right now, however, I don't think that it is possible. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Restore UFS snapshot
# umount # snap_rollback *wait 10 seconds* # mount .. and I'm set. I believe it should be possible. And if nothing like that exists, it should be made. I could look into it, but I would have to learn a lot more about the inner workings of the file system first. related: afaik, zfs rollback is working and is planned for freebsd 7.0. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
