setting ccache path
Hi I have just installed devel/ccache. I set up /etc/make.conf , /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/profile according to /usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt to include /usr/local/libexec/ccache in roots path but ccache doesn't get used. I think it is because roots path is set absolutely in .cshrc so the setting is /etc/csh.cshrc gets overridden. In a terminal if I set roots path to include /usr/local/libexec/ccache ccache works. I tested by timing make(1) in a port but I can see it is working anyway because /root/.ccache gets created and populated. Am I failing to follow ccache-howto-freebsd.txt or is it telling me something wrong and I should be adding /usr/local/libexec/ccache to roots path in .cshrc and .profile.? Actually I think a better solution would be to set CCACHE_PATH to /usr/local/libexec/ccache to avoid the shell looking there first for _every_ command invocation, but I'm not sure where is the best place to set it. .cshrc and/or .profile? thanks Chris ___ 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"

Hi! I have been happily running Postfix with amavisd-new (and Clamav and SpamAssassin) on FreeBSD 7 with Perl 5.8 for a long time. Recently, I upgraded to FreeBSD 8 and rebuilt all ports (after updating). Suddenly I saw many kernel: pid x (perl), uid 110: exited on signal 11 lines in /var/log/messages and mailq returns some messages with comments like: (lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) I Googled and found that this could be related to do_ascii/UUlib and disabled do_ascii in /usr/local/etc/amavisd.conf. That didn't fix it. Then I read somewhere that this could be caused by problems with nested regexp and that Perl 5.10 didn't have that problem. I upgraded to Perl 5.10.1 (and rebuild all ports depending on it) and that also didn't fix it. Currently all my port are up-to-date. I'm trying to log everything - "$sa_debug = 'all';" and "$log_level = 5;" in amavisd.conf, but I don't really see the problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a holdover from when FreeBSD only had a user pthreads package (libc_r). libc calls that would normally block got converted into non-blocking versions and a select() loop would execute threads as the events they were waiting on occurred. Incoming signals would cause all threads waiting on read() to return EINTR. If you have other threads doing work and sending/receiving signals, this can add up to a lot of extra EINTR's. FreeBSD 5.0 (released in 2003) was the first version to have kernel-based pthread support, so the original reason for raising net_retry_count has long since disappeared. A related question might be, though: Should that variable even exist? EINTR isn't technically a failure, and most programs that read from sockets simply wrap their read()s in a loop that retries when EINTR is received. Only mysql actually counts the number of times through the loop. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ 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"

Need info about FreeBSD and interrupted system calls for MySQL code
Hi Groggy (whom I didn't contact for too long a time), everybody, following the advice on your page, I include the FreeBSD list, even though I'm not subscribed there (hoping it will allow me to post) - so please, whoever replies, could you please cc: me directly? Of course, I tried Google, but I didn't find any answers to my question. For some long, unknown time, the MySQL code contains a variable "net_retry_count" which is by default set to 10 (ten) for all platforms, but to 100 (1 million) for FreeBSD (during configure phase). The source code comment about this variable reads If a read on a communication port is interrupted, retry this many times before giving up. The documentation (manual) has this sentence in addition: This value should be set quite high on FreeBSD because internal interrupts are sent to all threads. I read that as "On FreeBSD, a thread may receive many more interrupts than on other platforms, so an operation which may take some time (like network I/O) may be interrupted much more often than on other platforms, and hence the retry count should be higher." I trust that this comment was valid at the time it was written - is it still true for current versions of FreeBSD, or did things change?

However, to take advantage of all the memory I have in this system, as well as the improved overall system performance, yes I do have to use the 64bit version. IMHO, 32bit systems are all ready becoming passe. I predict that they will go the way of the dinosaur in 5 years or less. I did have i386 installed on this system briefly because there were no 64bit nVidia drivers available. After switching to 64bit I have noticed a real improvement in overall system performance. -- Jerry freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

CUPS in ports (e.g., v1.4.3) --disable-gssapi WHY??
I recall building CUPS from ports last Fall (9/2009) at version 1.3.10 or 1.3.11 which had GSSAPI (Kerberos 5) support as an option. Today, the cups-base-1.4.3 port specifically excludes GSSAPI support (--disable-gssapi in the Makefile) which means CUPS cannot perform Kerberos authentication (to get a ticket granting ticket for printing). Why is this the case? Can someone elaborate on this, or point me to the correct forum to get an answer? Thanks in advance.

How To create msdosfs on HD?
I have an old IDE 3.5 hard drive with FBSD Release 7.0 on it. I want to use it for USB disk space on XP. I bought a 'CD-r king' hard drive to USB cable. It will work with 2.5 & 3.5 IDE drives and sata drives. When I plug the USB end of the cable into a FBSD system I can mount the 3.5 IDE 7.0 HD's da0s1a, da0s1d, da0s1e and da0s1f file systems with no problem. But when I plug the same drive into a XP system the USB drive shows in system/devices/hard drives as there but windows explorer does not assign a drive letter for it. I'm thinking this is because the hard drive has UFS format and maybe it I reformat it to fat format xp will assign a drive letter to it. I know mount_msdosfs command is used to mount a HD formated with fat, but I could not find a FBSD command to create a msdos file system on a hard drive. Native dos fdisk/format is no good because it's not USB aware. Is there any FBSD command or port I can use to reformat the UFS hard drive with msdosfs? ___ 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"

Convert Windows driver via ndisgen
Apparently, FreeBSD does not have a driver for a Linksys WUSB600N network adapter. I was thinking of using the ndisgen utility to create a driver via the WinXP version. I have three questions. 1) The WinXP driver was for an x386 machine. I have a FreeBSD-8/amd64 PC. From man NDIS(4): "Note that this means the ndis driver is only useful on x86 machines." Am I therefore to assume that even if I do convert the Windows Driver to FreeBSD form, it will not work? 2) If I do successfully extract the driver, is there any way that I can have it compiled directly into the kernel as opposed to having it loaded via kldload? 3) Is there any list that I could contact to request a driver for this device. Since I have the device, I would be happy to work with someone who actually knows how to write a drive since I don't posess those skills. -- Jerry freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
