No you don't.
Once you get your videocard driver correct, Xorg should detect the
correct settings.
If it doesn't: you should add the correct resolution to 16 and 24.
Could you post your entire config file?

Where has my gbde write performance gone?

[Joseph Gleason]

Sometime between FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 and 8.0-RELEASE write
performance of gbde encrypted devices seems to have dropped
significantly.  A system I have running 7.2 seems to run gbde drives
at or near the drive max rate (30-40MB/s) while I am seeing less than
10% of that on 8.0 systems.

I get the same slow writes on 8.0-RELEASE-p2 as well as 8.0-RELEASE.

Here is an example on a fresh 8.0 install which shows gbde taking the
drive write performance of 40 MB/s down to 2.6 MB/s:

   0   22 29.57 1165 33.65   2  0 58  2 38

One thing I notice is the larger block size the 7.2 writes but I don't
imagine that would be that significant.

I've been using FreeBSD in various amateurish and wrong ways since
2.2, so I wouldn't rule out me doing something stupid.  If so, I'd
love to know what.

100Mb LAN hardware

[Steve Bertrand]

I'm cleaning up my office, and I've come across a piece of hardware that
has been successfully hacked with FBSD as a FW/GW in the past.

The last time the hardware ran, it was from a 2GB CF card, but it also
has a fully capable IDE channel that does work (that's how I installed
FBSD onto the CF card).

The unit is a Multi-Tech RF600VPN device, and it contains three 100Mbps
interfaces.

I'd like to give this away.

Note, I know lists, so I'm not looking to sell. I'm literally looking to
give it away. Depending on destination, shipping may be included.

...unit is fantastic for a fan-less SMB fw.

...let me know. Take it, or it goes into hazardous waste.

Re: VirtualBox: no network

[Anselm Strauss]

I'm using the default adapter, that's the intel desktop one I think.
Establishing the connection with DHCP is indeed a bit inconsistent.
Sometimes it's there just after boot, sometimes it scans for half a minute
before making the connection. No problems with DNS. So far I tested browsing
and software updates, worked pretty well. I have not yet done extensive
networking or used it for very long time.

This seems to be a failure in cam/scsi/scsi_da.c in dadump().  This was
working for us under FreeBSD 6.2 (we just recently switched to using 8.0).

Googling only turned up some issues way back in 4.x with different SCSI

Any pointers are appreciated.  I get the same behavior when I force a

Looking at the work that has been put into making FreeNAS, it might be 
worthwhile
to ask the developers when a version based on 8.x and supporting your card
will be available.

But if that is not an option, looking at the features of FreeNAS
[http://freenas.org/features], I'd say you need _at least_ the following ports
to more-or-less replicate the functionality of FreeNAS;

Network protocols:
  - net/samba34 (for windows clients)
  - net/netatalk (for Apple clients)
  - ftp/proftpd (FTP)
  - net/rsync
  - net/unison
  - (NFS comes with the base system)
  - dns/inadyn
  - net/istgt

Extra Services
  - net-p2p/transmission (bittorrent)
  - net/mediatomb (UPnP server)
  - audio/firefly (iTunes/DAAP)
  - www/lighttpd or www/apache22 (web server)

System tools
  - sysutils/smartmontools (disk monitoring)
  - sysutils/rsyslog55 (secure remote logging)
  - ports-mgmt/portmaster (keeping ports up to date)
  - (portsnap comes with the base system.)
  - (sshd comes with the base system.)

What you'll be missing is the FreeNAS web setup tools. I would download and
install FreeNAS on a virtual machine just to look at the configurations for
the different ports, so you don't have to figure that out all by yourself. :-)

On the other hand, if you only have to serve files for MS Windoze clients, you
might get by with installing samba and its dependencies and not much
else. Anything that you don't install is one less item to configure and keep
up-to-date.

Thanks Jerry

I had a reply that I should rather use 8.0 and there I can only download 
disk1, the rest I can get from the ports collection. (I'm not sure that I 
can download all 2GB of the DVD successfully, our bandwidth in SA is not 
great or very reliable)  We want to use freeBSD to setup NAS, do I need any 
of the ports to do this?


I'm not looking at freeNAS because the SATA RAID card that I'm looking at 
does not support it, the Adaptec 51645 card supports freeBSD though.

Depends one circumstances.  If you have a good network connection, you
can install over the net and then need only the ...disc1.iso or
possibly the dvd1.iso.

If your net connection is not good enough to support an online install,
then you need either the ...dvd1.iso[.gz]  or the first three
of the CDs  ...disc1.iso, ...disc2.iso and disc3.iso and you do the
install from local media.

The documentation online has descriptions of what is on these disks,
though I suppose the language use might be a bit arcane for a newbie.

Generally I find it better to install over the net if possible -
but you at least need some starter media - CD/DVD of course.

xmobar

[Chip Camden]

Today's port upgrade for xmobar broke my .xmobarrc.  It no longer accepts
commands whose arguments contain escaped quotes.  I was able to work
around it by changing the command I was spawning to not require quotes,
but where should I report this issue?

Disc1 is all you need to install the OS.  The other disk images contain
mostly precompiled 3rd party packages -- I think the reason that disk2
and disk3 got dropped was that even the size of two CD images is just a
fraction of what it would take to contain most of the available ports.
Rather than make an invidious choice (accompanied, no doubt, by
interminable arguments and bikeshedding) about what should be included,
they decided to reserve the .iso images for FreeBSD and let people
download individual pkgs from the FTP sites instead.

Cheers,

Matthew

PS.  Just to make sure: you do understand that the i386 arch is for all
Intel and AMD processors running in *32bit* mode?  If you've got a more
modern Intel Xeon or Core2 or later processor (or indeed anything AMD
since about 5 years ago), then the amd64 arch will give you better
results.  As the name suggests, this is the *64bit* version of FreeBSD
for Intel derived architectures.  Take care to choose the right
alternative before you put much work into building your system, as
switching from one to the other is pretty painful.

Depends one circumstances.  If you have a good network connection, you 
can install over the net and then need only the ...disc1.iso or 
possibly the dvd1.iso.

If your net connection is not good enough to support an online install,
then you need either the ...dvd1.iso[.gz]  or the first three
of the CDs  ...disc1.iso, ...disc2.iso and disc3.iso and you do the
install from local media.

The documentation online has descriptions of what is on these disks, 
though I suppose the language use might be a bit arcane for a newbie.

Generally I find it better to install over the net if possible - 
but you at least need some starter media - CD/DVD of course.

Ah, wait.

The connection partly does work with the default settings. ICMP doesn't 
work for me either, so testing with ping gave me "false" negative. Also, 
DHCP-configured DNS resolver doesn't work for me -- I had to type in a 
DNS server IP address manually. That way, Firefox running on Ubuntu 
inside VBox can finally load pages.

Hi, I wish to download FreeBSD but I am unsure which option to choose.

This is a good option, if the machine is connected into internet and
downloading the base system and ports is okay for you.

Boot disc with base system packaged and ports added. Best option if
you are mostly planning to use prebuild software or the machine is not
connected.

Basically discs1-3 'merged' in one DVD image, better than the separate
discs IMHO if you have DVD drive available.


03/21/2010 02:12PM238,215,168 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso


'Repair disc' that can also be used on manual installations and such -
good to have available in case of emergencies, but not really
necessary.

Did you configure Xorg to use the intel driver?
Check the handbook chapter 5.4 especially 5.4.3.1 Configuration with
Intel® i810 Graphics Chipsets.

Have you looked at stunnel? (http://www.stunnel.org/) I'd think it would fit 
your needs.
You can easily install it via the stunnel port /usr/ports/security/stunnel.

See .e.g: http://www.sysdesign.ca/guides/secure_pop3.html for the set-up.

POP3 to POP3s tanslator

[Anas Matar]

Dear Sir,

 

Can I use your great product FreeBSD as a proxy to translate POP3
requests to POP3s?

 

My problem is simply that I have a software which does not support other
than POP3 connections for mail servers , and im in need to connect to
POP3s mail servers.

 

SO I want a software in the middle to interface the POP3 requests from
the client to the POP3s servers.

 

Could this be done by FreeBSD?

 

Best Regards

 

Anas Matar

Hello All,
I have a FreeBSD VM running. Whenever I reboot the VM without a clean

When I run fsck, the file system clearly has issues.

Is there any way to have FreeBSD run on a better file system that wont
crap
out on me everytime I do and unclean shutdown?

I am really surprised no one proposed geom journaling. With gjournal,
I never had to do a manual full fsck and have had plenty of unclean
shutdowns. I also occasionally do fsck the filesystem and there were
no errors ever found. It definitely adds the ease factor I am looking
for in a journaling sollution in the case of an unclean shutdown...



Correct me if I'm wrong, but since this FreeBSD install is running inside
of a VM, in addition to any of the precautions suggested here to get data
written or journaled to the disk as safely as possible, isn't there still
the issue of whether the VM actuall commits these writes to the physical
disk?


I guess the time needed for some data to be committed to stable
storage will be bigger in a VM environment. But that's always the
case, be it a VM, or a disk controller. There will be always some
data in-flight, some delay and a cache which will hold your data before
they arrive to stable storage. gjournal will replay all write attempts
(metadata and data) before the failure, so you should be relatively
sure that all writes are done correctly. I think Ansar just want to
avoid fsck and gjournal provides that. To ensure real data integrity
one should use something else, perhaps ZFS and not a journaling fs.

PS: I didn't see your message in time...

This should do it for you. It does it automaticaly to create two images of the 
same size.

> How big it should be for 4GB card?
It depends on your needs. How much you need for your nanobsd installation. 
Check how big it is now and add some space for future. If you will leave 
enough room you won't need to reflash full disk but only image of one 
partition/slice.

If I remember correctly DATASIZE is size of additional partition f.ex. for 
application data that remains untouched between upgrading of nanobsd.

nanobsd upgrade partitions

[Dimitar Vassilev]

Hello,
Could someone advise how one should create 1 unused partition for
upgrading nanobsd in myconf.nano? What variables should I put into the
config file to have a such?
How big it should be for 4GB card?
Also what is the filesystem referred by  NANO_DATASIZE variable?

presumably the "intel" module.

Intel DG45FC Fly Creek LGA 775 Mini-ITX system board compatibility?

[Kaya Saman]

Hi,

I'd just like to know if the Intel DG45FC Fly Creek LGA 775 Mini-ITX 
system board is compatible with FreeBSD and also if there is a PCIe SATA 
card recommendation too as I need more SATA ports??


I plan on building a Mini-ITX based NAS/Server using a Chenbro hot-swap 
chassis with FreeBSD 8.0 x64 at the heart of the system so I just want 
to make sure that everything I buy is going to work and won't cause me 
any problems and make me revert to Linux which would be a drag as 
there's no ZFS file system and I just squared all the ZFS stuff on the 
FreeBSD-FS portion of the mailing list.


If anyone can give me any hints, tips, or advice it would be very much 
appreciated!!



Many thanks,


Kaya
