If you have the ATA_STATIC_ID option in the kernel, the SATA drives will then show up ad ad4 and above, whether or not there are any PATA drives connected. With the ATA_STATIC_ID option the primary master is ad0, primary slave is ad1 and so on, whether or not there are any drives connected. If you remove the ATA_STATIC_ID option, the ATA drives (PATA and SATA) will be assigned the lowest number not in use, so with no PATA drives connected, the first SATA drive will be ad0, the second one will be ad1 and so on. This is my experience, but I'm not a developer, so there may be some twists that I've missed, and if so, I'm sure someone will correct me. :) -- Vänligen / Sincerly, Rolf Nielsen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using GELI with a default 128bit AES key seems to limit at ~50MB/s , changing the sector size all the way upto 128KB makes no difference whatsoever to the performance. If I use the threads sysctl in loader.conf and drop the geli threads to 1 thread only (instead of the usual 3 it spawns on this system) the performance still does not change at all.

CPU in the machine is a pair of these: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU5110 @ 1.60GHz (1603.92-MHz K8-class CPU) I've also come across some other strange issues with some other machines which have identical arrays but only a pair of 32bit 3.0Ghz xeons in them (Also using releng_6 as of yesterday, just i386 not amd64). On those geli will launch a single thread by default (cores-1 seems to be the default) however I cannot force it to launch 2 by using the sysctl, although on the 4 core machine I can successfully use it to launch 4. It would be nice to be able to use both cores on the 32bit machines for geli but given the results I've shown here I'm not sure it would gain me much at the moment. Another problem I've found is that if I use a sector size for GELI 8192 bytes then I'm unable to newfs the encrypted partition afterwards, it fails immediately with this error: newfs /dev/da0p1.eli increasing block size from 16384 to fragment size (65536) /dev/da0p1.eli: 62499.9MB (127999872 sectors) block size 65536, fragment size 65536 using 5 cylinder groups of 14514.56MB, 232233 blks, 58112 inodes. newfs: can't read old UFS1 superblock: read error from block device: Invalid argument The underlying device is readable/writeable however as dd can read/write to it without any errors.

LDAP problems
Hi lists, I now really need some help. Since the last two weeks, I've been trying to configure Openldap on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. But I just can't go further because I get always the same error while I try to use the ldapadd command. It says : ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) I've tried to search the web. Sure, there was something out there but it isn't enough clear to me. Any ideas ?

Re: php4 to php5 means exit session functions?
OK, I finally found at what had been going wrong: In my php.ini file there is the variable extension_dir. This was still pointing at the old extension dir, located at /usr/local/lib/php/2002something after I changed it to /usr/local/lib/php/20060613 everything worked fine. thanks, Bram Matthew Seaman wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Bram Kuijper wrote: Hi all, I am trying to update php4 to php5 on my FreeBSD 6.1-server, by using the following 'manual': http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-July/127059.html However, now I get error messages like *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function session_start()*.

relaying mail
In one of my domains, I have the MX record for it set up to my server. But for one of the users within that domain, their mail needs to be shuffled off to a different server at google. But I can't just forward it because it's like an MX host I'd need to forward it to. And I can't alter the MX to point to google for the entire domain because it's only one user within that domain, the other users will be screwed in that case. For example, mydomain.com, let's say the mx for that comes to my box. For [EMAIL PROTECTED], I need to send his mail to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM as if it were the MX for mydomain.com. In the old days, one would simply forward email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That would cause mydomain.com's sendmail to connect to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM and shove down a message for [EMAIL PROTECTED] But that seems long deprecated because it didn't seem to work. I am using sendmail and procmail. Can anyone think of some way I can cause something like this to happen for just one user, ideally in a .procmailrc file?

TMPFS, is it available on FreeBSD 6 or 7?
Is TMPFS available on FreeBSD 6 or 7? Or do i have to settle for mfs? [venting frustration] The reason i ask is i need something very flexible when it comes to memory usage as a poor-mans shared-memory feature for a closed source data conversion app, used only occasionally but with *alot* of data passing through. By alot i mean it took our quad core xeon 3 ghz with 4 gbyte memory and 4 SAS drives in 1+0 RAID, about a day and a half to process (on disk). Simple tests (by others) using netbsd on a single cpu 3 ghz and tmpfs, it took roughly 70 minutes. Most of which was spent loading and unloading the data over the network. I'd really like that memory back after use for other things as this server is also serving databases with files etc. (PS. If anyone knows of some place in the world it is legally permissible to shoot a programmer for incompetence/excessive-tmp-usage, then please let me know, that's where are going on company vacation) [/venting] -- Sten Daniel Soersdal ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This system is meant to be the new master copy, from which backups will be taken, so I'd like to track down what the problem is, hw or sw.

Or do i have to settle for mfs? tmpfs is not available in 6, however it has recently been added to -current (7) and will be part of the 7.0 release. If you desperately need it now, you'll have to partake of the adventure that is running -current. If you can wait a while, I'd recommend waiting for the release, especially if this is a production server. mfs sounds like it would definitely not work very well for your use case. Have you tried playing with filesystem options such as mounting a disk-based /tmp async (with softupdates DISABLED) to see if it helps any? Won't be as fast as tmpfs, but with some tuning you might be able to get it to acceptable levels in the interim.

Hi All, Not sure how to correct this but I have created some mp3's to share with a friend using mp3c. I have setup filenaming like this ; ArtistName_AlbumName_TrackNo_TrackTitle.mp3 It seems to work great under FreeBSd and I can see the full filename. I then burnt the tracks to DVD using ; growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0 -r -J -speed=4 /rips I then checked the finished disc and the track names are the same. Taking that disc to another machine with that other OS on some of the filenames are truncated badly in that its the extension (.mp3) thats missing and therefore clicking the .m3u playlist results in winamp doing nothing. What the best way to do this so the DVD will play on 'anything' ?

Bram Van Steenlandt wrote: Hi list, The company I work for is linux based, we work with our own app written in wxPython. I am having a lot of trouble finding a suitable desktop OS, I've just went with redhat but I think I am having second thoughts about it . Freebsd (wich we use for some servers) would be an option but: I find it really difficult to keep freebsd up to date in a desktop situation, recompiling things like gnome can take a lot of time. So what I would really like is to make one machine the build/test machine and keep this machine up to date with the ports and portmanager or so. Can I then set up some kind of repo with the packages from this machine and run something like yum upgrade on every desktop we have ? I know something like sharing (thus building it only once and installing it on multiple pc's) /usr/ports could be done but it is still to much work and I would like something that also works over the internet.

I had it set up but unfortunately the hardware's lone hard disk recently snapped its spindle, so I can't help you out with settings. I think Michael Lucas wrote some articles on exactly that, though. Basically the idea is, the build server spends its time rebuilding everything and supplying it to the staging server, which is a repository for the latest builds. Pretty cool huh?

PAE is just an ugly ugly hack, but you probably know that by now... should have gone with amd64 ;). Indeed. I'd even say you're being a bit too polite in that indictment of PAE. However, a few of the apps we run here don't support 64 bit FreeBSD yet. We now require more memory than 4Gb, which in 32 bit land, means that the big ugly hack (still keeping with your terminology here - this is a family mailing list, after all) is necessary. I only really want USB so that the Intel Remote Management module we are running in our servers can actually control the system. (Yes, using USB to allow a daughterboard to control a server is a particular kludge that only Intel use but let's leave any discussion on that for another time, shall we?).

Is ports-mgmt/portconf what you are looking for?
I didn't know about ports-mgmt/portconf (will check it out now) but what
I use is the make.conf file.
This blog post
(http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/01/14/upgrading-ports-and-preserv
e-mak e-options) is what enlightened me. And here's how the application
specific bits of my make.conf file looks:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/shells/bash}
WITH_STATIC_BASH=yes
PREFIX=/
.endif
snip
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Also, if you use portupgrade there's a MAKE_ARGS section
of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
Yes, but the problem with sepcifying custom options in there is that
sometimes portupgrade ignores it. I don't know for a fact, but the blog
post I linked to above mentions so.
Say, bash and its dependency gettext have updates. And you have specified
some custom options for gettext in pkgtools.conf. If you upgrade gettext
directly using portupgrade, then these options get honoured. Instead, if
you upgrade bash and gettext gets upgraded as a result of that, then the
pkgtools.conf options are not honoured. So the only solution then is to
use the make.conf file coz that's always honoured. (From what I see, the
portconf tool too adds its stuff to the make.conf file).
Please correct me if I've understood wrong.

Rakhesh

Re: what way to update named?
I am using named version 9.3.3 which comes with FreeBSD system (i.e. was not installed from ports). I know that in order to upgrade bind, I should cvsup sources and then go through the entire procudure of updating the system, installing kernel, etc. However, I tend not to use cvsup any more but I usually go for freebsd-update tool. My question is: should I wait till freebsd-update tool includes an update of bind to 9.3.4 or should I update the system from sources? I can wait but I am just not sure what is the preferred method given that I use freebsd-update on regular basis. This is FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #2 I am not sure I saw any answer to your question so... I installed bind 9.3.4 from the ports, using the option to over write the bind installed by the system, et voila. bests, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
