What you have cited is recently reinvigorated trend that has taken on the air of the "BDS is dying" troll. What you have is a set of computer users with no understanding of kernel internals attempting to diagnose some sort of possibly legitimate problem by reaching conclusion via rumor and guesswork.

getty + cu, blocking mode, dialout
Colleagues, If there is a getty on /dev/ttyu0, should I be able to dialout from the /dev/cuau0 device? I remember that several years ago a getty did not interfere with dialout if you used a special dialout device, but now it does not seem to be the case: # cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuau0 link down # grep ttyu0 /etc/ttys ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600" dialup on insecure # # grep -A4 ppp.57600 /etc/gettytab ppp.57600:\ :im=User Access Verification\n\n:\ :pp=/etc/ppp/ppplogin:\ :tc=std.57600: # I can only dialout after setting ttyu0 to off and "init q". It is all happening on 8.2-RELEASE-p6 i386. There is an external modem attached to the ttyu0 line. Here is a ktrace of cu: http://zalil.ru/33111377 Thank you very much for any input. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ 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"

Would this mean that FreeBSD's (and Mach's ?) MM subsys are behind NetBSD's ?

Right, MM subsys is not part of BSD import. But XNU kernel is a combo of Mach and old BSD kernel parts. There was some discussion here: http://www.osnews.com/comments/25861 where two comments are of interest: "I'm quite sure that the memory manager of OSX wasn't derived from BSD, but from Mach. Actually, FreeBSD has adapted that memory manager, so it's rather the other way around. But Apple might learn from the way FreeBSD does things. If it is feasible, as the kernel is quite different." "The related implementation in FreeBSD seems to have a similar problem: NetBSD users have also reported that UVM’s im- provements have had a positive effect on their applica- tions. This is most noticeable when physical memory becomes scarce and the VM system must page out data to free up memory. Under BSD VM this type of paging causes the system to become highly unresponsive, while under UVM the system slows while paging but does not become unresponsive. http://static.usenix.org/event/usenix99/full_papers/cranor/cranor.p... Should be easy to fix: just start to page out some stuff in time before there is no memory left." When I browsed the USENIX paper (dated 1999) I understood that it is indeed possible that FreeBSD may have imported some Mach's MM code in those early BSD VM days. And over time since then some ideas (if not exact code) may have migrated between OS X and FreeBSD MM subsystems. If so, the problems experienced may be similar or identical even today. jb ___ 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"

After reading through the make man page, I decided on trying to build the port with "make CFLAGS+=-g LDFLAGS+=-g install clean" however I still get the no debugging symbols found message. Does the information in in the Makefile for the port overwrite this option from the command line? Or am I just using the incorrect syntax here? (gdb) file /usr/local/bin/ntpd Reading symbols from /usr/local/bin/ntpd...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Even more odd, I decided to go ahead and try a couple more systems, as this was working fine on my test system and one production system before I got to the one that broke. I now have it running on 4 production systems and 1 test system. The problem is on 2 production systems one with the openssl option one without, both these systems are running on identical hardware (Dell PowerEdge R310 purchased on same order). The other two production systems are both totally different hardware wise, one is virtual on an ESX4 server, the other is on a custom built machine. The first of which had the problem I did a fresh make buildworld and install last night as well as a rebuild of all ports. Problem still persists. I am not sure what it is about these servers that's causing the problem, all other applications are running fine the configurations on these systems are all very similar, almost all the same ports installed. One of the systems has a few more ports installed as its has more web based applications, but the virtual production server has the same ports installed, built with the same /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf options against the same /var/db/ports/ directory so they ports were installed with the same settings, only difference is the run time configuration, however the ntpd configuration is the same on all systems. I have also discovered since the last email that the -d option isn't necessary to keep it running, the -n option which keeps it from detaching from the session will work as well. I worked around the issue for now by manually running it with daemon and adding the -n so its detached and running. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Thumbnail Image Viewer for Large Number of Files
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations for an image viewer that does not choke on a large number of files, I tried fotoxx but that dies on > 20,000 files and other tools (like danpei) seem to want to read all files first before displaying any thumbnails. Is there a tool that just dynamically reads the files and builds thumbnails as one pages through the collection? I do realize that this is not quite as fast as pre-cached thumbnails but with >300k images that's just not an option, anything I tried either crashes or just sits there for hours. The images are about 50k each, coming from a network camera. Ideally I would like to choose a thumbnail size that suits me, fill the screen with them and then select the ones that are uninteresting (could be across several screens/pages) and delete the original files. Maybe somebody had and solved a similar challenge. Or should I just be smarter and collect each day into it's own directory?

GPT + gmirror
Hello, I wondered if there is a way to gmirroring the whole disk (not slices separately) when using GPT? GPT puts its metadata at the end of the disk, and when I start to use gmirror it overwrites the GPT metadata (... as gmirror puts also its metadata at the end of the disk ...). I noticed a new option in the newfs manpage: -r reserved The size, in sectors, of reserved space at the end of the parti‐ tion specified in special. This space will not be occupied by the file system; it can be used by other consumers such as geom(4). Defaults to 0. I wondered if it could help .. ? Why does it default to 0?

FreeBSD vice OS X memory management
Hi, does OS X kernel share any code with FreeBSD kernel's memory management subsystem ? Something is deeply broken in OS X memory management http://workstuff.tumblr.com/post/20464780085/something-is-deeply-broken-in-os-x- memory-management One of the problems that caught my eyes was inactive memory reclamation. I remember some time ago there was a thread here with similar topic. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-March/239121.html jb ___ 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: pxegrub + FreeBSD install
I was able to figure out how to pass the variables to the FreeBSD mfsroot. I did so by modifying the grub.cfg file like the below: menuentry "freebsd82-x86_64" { kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints kfreebsd_module /boot/mfsroot.gz type=mfs_root set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c set kFreeBSD.boot.nfsroot.server=$pxe_default_server set kFreeBSD.boot.netif.hwaddr=$net_pxe_mac set kFreeBSD.boot.netif.ip=$net_pxe_ip set kFreeBSD.dhcp.host-name=$net_pxe_hostname } On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 2:10 PM, Rick Miller wrote: > Hi All, > > I am attempting to build FreeBSD 8.x-RELEASE over the network via PXE. > I chain pxegrub to pxelinux and load the FreeBSD kernel and mfsroot > through pxegrub with the following: > > menuentry "freebsd-x86_64" { > kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel > kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints > kfreebsd_module /boot/mfsroot.gz type=mfs_root > set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c > } > > The mfsroot.gz is from the installation DVD with a couple of scripts > and an install.cfg which result in a non-interactive install.

So far she was fine with pico, but now they want the kids to practice CTRL/B (bold), CTRL/I (italic), CTRL/U (underline). She really needs to use these particular combinations because that is how the on-line assessment tool is set out. I use nothing but vi, so have no clue which, if any, editor from ports/editors will have these particular combinations implemented. Please recommend one, preferably as simple and as small as possible. Sorry *NO* 'text editor' has those capabilities, let alone has them on those key sequences. Those are 'word processor' functions. word processor' software is required. I know, I know.. I don't know why in a touchtyping course you need to teach kids this, but.. Anyway, abiword seems to do what I need. Let me know if there's anything lighter. For a no brain, no effort solution, how about Google Docs? Otherwise, you might want to take a look at the port www/tinymce3. It's a JavaScript editor that runs in a browser and does word processorish things. You can see what it's like at http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php (Javascript needed, fairly obviously :-) Caveat: I've never used it seriously, Abiword and/or Google Docs cover the few times I need to be compatible with the Windows world. ___ 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"
slapd won't start anymore
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this: After portupgrading openldap-server24 from 2.4.30 to 2.4.31 slapd won't start anymore, because of: "read_config: no serverID / URL match found. Check slapd -h arguments." Since this is in my rc.conf: slapd_flags='-h "ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi/ ldap://192.168.13.15/ ldaps://192.168.13.15/"' I thought the rc script was not correct anymore. But it turned out that slapd somehow ignores the -h parameter: # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -h "ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi/ ldap://192.168.13.15/ ldaps://192.168.13.15/" results in the same error message (in the log, it doesn't report something wrong on the command line). -- Peter Boosten http://www.boosten.org ___ 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"
