From xz(1): To prevent uncomfortable surprises caused by huge memory usage, xz has a built-in memory usage limiter. While some operating systems provide ways to limit the memory usage of processes, relying on it wasn't deemed to be flexible enough. The default limit depends on the total amount of physical RAM: [...] The default limit can be overridden with --memory=limit. and ENVIRONMENT XZ_OPT A space-separated list of options is parsed from XZ_OPT before parsing the options given on the command line. Note that only options are parsed from XZ_OPT; all non-options are silently ignored. Parsing is done with getopt_long(3) which is used also for the command line arguments. -- Bruce Cran ___ 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"

Checking .. 14593 * 255 * 63 = 234436545 sectors, less DOS partition 1 (FreeBSD s1) = 234436482 sectors equals 63 sectors, being all of cylinder 0, head 0; slices start on cylinder boundaries. > The data for partition 2 is: > > The data for partition 3 is: > > The data for partition 4 is: > > > I tried 'fsck_ufs /dev/da0', it says > > ** /dev/da0 > Cannot find file system superblock > ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device > fsck_ufs: /dev/da0: can't read disk label Yes, as it should. You haven't lost your MBR & partition table, but it appears you may have lost the bsdlabel at the beginning of slice 1; this is likely why FreeBSD only finds /dev/da0 and (perhaps) /dev/da0a .. In the absence of a label on slice 1 (listing FreeBSD partitions c, the whole slice, and one or more of a, b, d - h) the system seems to assume this is a 'dangerously dedicated' disk, with no slices, covering the whole disk - but still with no label. I think the system is probably assuming wrongly here, from a missing or damaged label. Polytropon's advice to dd the whole drive to somewhere is excellent if you have 114GB spare somewhere - but if you don't, at least dd the first 126 or so sectors to a file in case of further disasters. > I forget what layout the disk has. Normally I used /dev/da0s1d to mount the disk. > > What the next step should I do? First, to see if there's any meaningful label there, try just: # bsdlabel /dev/da0s1 If that disk just had a single 'd' partition, as sounds maybe likely?, and it doesn't show up with the above command, then you may get away with just making a fresh label for the whole slice, with just 'c' and 'd' partitions, both of size 234436482 sectors. I'm not the best person to advise on the right bsdlabel command, so I won't speculate (possibly mis-advising you) on that. If you had other partitions than just 'd' in that slice then working out the boundaries and sizes will be a lot more complex, but if just one it looks fixable. Of course, if the label at the beginning of slice 1 was clobbered, so may have been other data, but with a new label you might be able to recover it with 'fsck da0s1d' if the filesystem is more or less intact. It's always worth keeping a copy of the output of bsdlabel for every FreeBSD slice somewhere safe (like on paper!) for times such as these. cheers, Ian ___ 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"

You should use the correct driver for your graphics card; "vesa" can be seen as "last compatibility option", usually not very performant. > dmesg shows: > Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project. > Copyright (c) 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 > The Regents of the University of California.

Impossible! My P2/300 with 512 MB RAM plays video without any problems (running FreeBSD 5 and who knows what old version of mplayer)... Check the output of "pciconf -lv" to see what identification of your graphics hardware is output. Then change xorg.conf to use the proper driver for this. After this change (and a restart of X), mplayer should use the correct output driver. You can enter "mplayer -vo help" to get a list of the available output drivers (e. g. xv, x11, gl, gl2, dgl, sdl and so on). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

terrible mplayer performance
Ok. I'm stuck. Mplayer's performance is worse on this laptop than it is on my Toshiba running with a half-speed processor. I have attempted all the suggestions I can find re: getting the performance.

Nanobsd not booting...
I need some help with Nanobsd. I've built an image for testing purposes with the sample conf file from the howto, and using the generic kernel config. The build runs without errors. After dd'ing the image to a usb stick, I can mount the partitions and see the contents (.COPYRIGHT file and root directory for instance), fdisk shows partition 1 marked active. But the stick won't boot - the machine in question definitely supports usb boot (it boots the 8.0-RELEASE image off the same usb stick without problem). It POSTs fine, then says "Verifying DMI pool data..." And then I just get a flashing underscore. Any thoughts as to what I've done wrong and how to fix it?

For an interactive shell, it doesn't really matter if it has non-POSIX features or not. For scripts it is a different story. If you use non-POSIX features in a script, it becomes less portable. I switched my interactive shell not my scripting shell. The problem with Linux distros is they replaced /bin/sh with bash. I imagine that non-POSIX features started to creep into their shell scripts and they became less portable. I agree with Linux distros using a POSIX shell for /bin/sh instead of bash. Ubuntu has been using dash as of at least 9.04, BTW. ___ 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"

I also have some standard settings for all users in /etc/csh.cshrc, and users' ~/.cshrc are usually empty (unless they add their own settings or override mine). if ($?prompt) then set promptchars = "%#" set prompt = "%...@%m:%~%# " set autolist # ... more stuff here ... endif This is an example on how to properly implement the standard prompt (username, hostname, current directory with home substitution, and permission indicator). The /usr/share/skel directory contains files that are copied to a user's directory when an account is created. This means: See what's in those files. If they override your global settings, change them.

Sudden refusal to boot with page fault in swapper
My FreeBSD system (amd64, SATA, root on ZFS) has suddenly started refusing to boot up. It crashes out with a page fault just after the ZFS warning that I "only" have 4GB of RAM. The following is a transcription of what I see: ZFS file system version 13 ZFS storage pool version 13 Timecounters tick every 1.000msec Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x4 fault code = supervisor write data, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xf...810c522a stack pointer = 0x28:0xf...81128af0 frame pointer = 0x28:0xf...81128b10 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1 processor eflags = interupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 12 panic: page fault cupid = 0 uptime : 1s Cannot dump, Device not defined or unavailable Automatic reboot in 15 seconds The ellipses in addresses represents continued f's. These addresses seem to be the same each time. I have tried using the "Without ACPI" boot option to no avail. Originally I had a problem in that using a USB keyboard meant I was unable to press a key to halt the reboot timer but a USB to PS/2 adapter solved that. This problem has suspiciously started happening after I had trouble performing the big "gettext" upgrade to the ports tree but I don't see how changes to the ports tree can affect the base system which is presumably where I still am this early in the boot process. However, for completeness, the "portmaster -w -r gettext" command kept failing half way through over the "xz" archiver. In the end I gave up and went with a "portmaster -a" expecting some minor problems which could be fixed with manual recompilation of effected ports. While some web searching didn't turn up an answer to my problem it did show that a memory fault is often suspected in these situations. I used an "Ultimate Boot" disc to test the memory and it tested okay. Have I hosed my system?
