Re: Raw sockets in jails
Thanks for the link. That clears a few things up, but not quite what I'm trying to achieve.I set the following in rc.conf for a jail called "test" jail_test_flags="allow.raw_sockets" then I start the test jail with # /etc/rc.d/jail start test ... and then I get the following cryptic response...

When the first partition (whatever it is), starts at offset 0, if you dd into that partition you wipe out the label entirely, which just doesn't make sense to me.

You might want to consider an Athlon (maybe underclock it) - the AMD IXP 700/800 south bridge seems to work well with FreeBSD (in my experience). These boards (eg Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H) have 6 SATA ports (one may be eSATA though) and PATA, they seem ideal really.. You can use PATA with CF to boot and connect 5 disks plus a DVD drive. The CPU is not fanless however, but the other stuff is, on the plus side you won't have to worry about CPU power :) Also, the onboard video works well with radeonhd and is quite fast. One other downside is the onboard network isn't great (Realtek) but I put an em card in mine. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It should - the remote machine "should" have the same terminal description. Your local machine however may have initialized the Linux console to expect UTF-8 encoding, and the remote machine may not know about that.

My first impression was that it could be a disagreement between the two machine whether cursor-application mode is set. That changes the escape sequence sent by the cursor-keys. However, ncurses' descriptions for both say they're using normal (non-application) mode. So that doesn't seem to explain it.

I've been using GnuPG all this time, and I had no idea GnuPG itself supported X.509 certs.

The current system is an Atom 330 and even that is a bit overkill for what I do with it and from what I am seeing, the new Atom D510 used on those boards is a tiny bit faster. What I want and care about for this system are reliability, stability, low power use, quietness and fast disk read/write speeds. I've been hearing some praise of ICH9R and 6 native SATA ports should be enough for my needs.

Re: 8.0-RELEASE/amd64 - full ZFS install - low read and write disk performance
aoc-sat2-mv8 was somewhat slower compared to ICH9 or LSI1068 controllers when I tried it with 6 and 8 disks. I think the problem is that MV8 only does 32K per transfer and that does seem to matter when you have 8 drives hooked up to it. I don't have hard numbers, but peak throughput of MV8 with 8-disk raidz2 was noticeably lower than that of LSI1068 in the same configuration. Both LSI1068 and MV2 were on the same PCI-X bus. It could be a driver limitation. The driver for Marvel SATA controllers in NetBSD seems a bit more advanced compared to what's in FreeBSD.

Re: sysinstall and the Right Terminal

What I normally do is start a command-line shell on a Debian Linux box. This defaults to a "linux" console. When I ssh somewhere, ssh passes the exported $TERM value to the remote host so as I understand it, it will use this value in the environment that it exports to any application called from that shell. The question is whether or not all the escape codes it sends to address the terminal and all the escape sequences it looks for to represent arrow keys, etc, will still work. The best results, so far, are with using cons25 as the TERM value. The Up and Down arrows work right as opposed to going right straight to X Exit this menu.

wpi problems -- kern/142907
Hi All Anyone else having problems with wpi ?? I have upgraded the firmware, helps a little but is still far from perfect. Unless I continuously ping the gateway wpi silently drops the connection. Even then connections to other servers on the lan are dodgy unless I am actively pinging them to keep the connection alive. After a time it all self destructs anyway and I have to restart if_wpi and /etc/rc.d/netif I know that it isn't the access points at fault as other devices and wifi cards work well.

writing divert sockets
Hi all, I have a problem while writing divert sockets. I found a simple application and modified it to compile in freebsd. Simple divert socket application only prints incomming packet and reinject packet to IP stack. My simple application and test codes are available at ( http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10589) I think I have a problem in reinject part, i.e writing packet back to ip stack. I have a server application listening on port 2000 and a client sends packet to port 2000. And I have a ipfw rule as: > ipfw add 1000 divert 2000 tcp from any to any 2000 In divert socket application a divert socket is created and bind to port 2000. Socket receives packet with no problem: > n=recvfrom( fd, packet, BUFSIZE, 0, (struct sockaddr_in *) sin, &sinlen); After receiving packet what I want to do is simply reinjecting packet. >n=sendto(fd, packet, n ,0, (struct sockaddr *) &sin, sinlen); Reinjecting packet is not working in my case. I miss some point:) please help me. In addition to the problem, I couldn't understand a point in man page of divert. "The port part of the socket address passed to the sendto(2) contains a tag that should be meaningful to the diversion module. In the case of ipfw(8) the tag is interpreted as the rule number after which rule processing should restart." If I change the port value of sending address to ipfw rule number, how can server receive the packet? (Assume the rule number is 1000 and server listens port 2000. ) Thanks in advance yavuzg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: 8.0-RELEASE/amd64 - full ZFS install - low read and write disk performance
It depends on the bandwidth of the bus that it is on and the controller itself. I like to use pci-x with aoc-sat2-mv8 cards or pci-e cardsthat way you get a lot more bandwidth..

Initially I was planning to use a single X25-M 80gb SSD in the motherboard sata port for the actual OS installation as well as to dedicate 50gb of it to a become a designaed L2ARC vdev for my ZFS mirrors. The SSD attached to the motherboard port would be recognized only as a SATA150 device for some reason, but I was still seeing 150mb/s throughput and sub 0.1 ms latencies on that disk simply because of how crazy good the X25-M's are. However I ended up having very bad issues with the Icydock 2,5" to 3,5" converter jacket I was using to keep/fit the SSD in the system and it would randomly drop write IO on heavy load due to bad connectors. Having finally figured out the cause of my OS installations to the SSD going belly up during applying updates, I decided to move the SSD to my desktop and use it there instead, additionally thinking that my perhaps my idea of the SSD was crazy overkill for what I need the system to do. Ironically now that I am seeing how horrible the performance is when I am operating on the mirror through this PCI card, I realize that actually, my idea was pretty bloody brilliant, I just didn't really know why at the time. An L2ARC device on the motherboard port would really help me with random read IO, but to work around the utterly poor write performance, I would also need a dedicaled SLOG ZIL device. The catch is that while L2ARC devices and be removed from the pool at will (should the device up and die all of a sudden), the dedicated ZILs cannot and currently a "missing" ZIL device will render the pool it's included in be unable to import and become inaccessible. There is some work happening in Solaris to implement removing SLOGs from a pool, but that work hasn't yet found it's way in FreeBSD yet. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Besides that, the card I have got some proprietary connectors for digital audio that you need to buy some kind of dongle for that dangles outside your case. You can fit a 3.5mm optical jack in the proprietary connector, but the signal isn't SP/DIF - my receiver has no idea what to do with it.
