Let me get this straight. You ran the program with the "/F" flag, or perhaps the "/R" flag which implies "/F", the program then did exactly what it was designed to do and now you are bitching about it. Like an attorney who never asks a question of a witness without knowing what the answer is going to be, never run a program and then hope it somehow magically knows exactly what you want it to do. Actually, in this case it did exactly what you wanted it to do.

Re: poudriere amassing fetch errors
Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem. A lot of fetch and checksum errors. I have set RESOLV_CONF=/etc/resolv.conf in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf, resolv.conf is copied to the poudriere jail and manual fetching of the ports is working. On every run of poudriere bulk different ports are failing due to fetch or checksum errors. Sometimes no file is fetched, sometimes a small one and then I get a checksum failure, sometimes the file is about two times bigger and I get a checksum failure, too. Normal make install clean is running fine on that machine. I'm using FreeBSD 9.1-rc2 and poudriere 2.2 (2.1. had the same issue) I have some other problems as well: - poudriere bulk doesn't exit; after building all pkgs it sleeps forever - I have two errors several times, but I don't know to which ports they belong: perl: not found "Makefile", line 86: warning: "/bin/sh -c 'case `perl --version` in *freebsd-thread*) echo yes ;; esac'" returned non-zero status and /usr/local/bin/apr-1-config: not found "Makefile.common", line 115: warning: "/usr/local/bin/apr-1-config --includedir" returned non-zero status Could anybody help me?

Hello Leslie,
Sorry if my comment sounded a bit cryptic.
The first 512 bytes of any hard-disk reside outside of any slice and
contain the master boot record. If you installed Windows first and
FreeBSD second and opted for the FreeBSD (a.k.a. Easy) Boot Manager,
the disk's first 512 bytes will contain 446 bytes of Boot Manager
code (which the BIOS executes to give you the F1/F2/F3/F4 choices),
64 bytes containing the disk's slice layout (maximum 4 slices) and
2 bytes for a BIOS checksum.
It is very easy to lose the MBR. If, instead of chkdsk, you were to
run the fixmbr command, Windows will put its own code into the 446
bytes. That code is capable of only one thing - booting drive C:
When you ran chkdsk /f, Windows changed the slice-type of your
FreeBSD slice from FFS (ID=165) to NTFS (ID=7) in the MBR. Only
Microsoft knows why chkdsk is permitted to do that.
Once that happens, you would REALLY like to fix the MBR. One way to
do it is to to run the reverse of the first command :
dd if=ad4.512 of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=1
This assumes 1) you can boot into FreeBSD or Linux or have a GParted
bootable CD, and 2) you saved your original MBR as ad4.512 and have
access to it, possibly on a USB pendrive that you can mount.
Just as the disk's first 512 bytes reside outside of any slice,
every slice's first 512 bytes reside outside any partition in that
slice and consequently outside the filesystems in that slice. This
sector contains the boot code (a.k.a. boot record) needed to boot
the OS on that slice. Windows will generally be nice enough to first
read the boot.ini file, which gives us the option of booting FreeBSD
from Windows' boot.ini :
dd if=/dev/ad4s2 of=ad4s2.512 bs=512 count=1
Copy out ad4s2.512 to drive C:, and put this in your boot.ini :
c:\ad4s2.412="Boot FreeBSD instead"
Of course, you have to substitute your correct numbers in the
ads{N} notation. For me, is 4 and {N} is 2.
The ad4s2a.512 file contains the first sector in your FreeBSD /
partition and is meaningful to the loader more than to us mortals.
If everything else fails, you might like to give the following a
try :
1) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD, enter the slice editor and
change the type of your FreeBSD slice back to 165. Do not press Q.
Press W instead. Conform with Yes to the warning, and then press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to abort the installation.
2) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD again, and run boot0cfg -B in an
emergency shell.
I hope my message sounds less cryptic now. I personally don't have
anything against running chkdsk or fixmbr, AS LONG AS I have backed
up the important sectors.

Keep in mind that when you do find the space you are looking for it will be held 'open' as an open file in the file system as long as the process is running. During normal operations you can shut down the process and release the space so it can be deleted. This is relatively straightforward as long as everything is 'normal'. The more difficult position arises when a process has behaved abnormally, including going zombie, crashing, etc. With the 'abnormal' there can be a chance that even though the process is gone you may encounter difficulty trying to delete/recover the space because the file system still considers it an open file. -Mike ___ 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"

ATI HD 4850 driver
Hello, I installed stellarium and the 3d acceleration of my ATI 4850 card didn't work in FreeBSD 9.0. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed that AIGLX could not load the r600_dri.so driver because it was missing in the /usr/local/lib/dri/ folder. So I recovered the r600_dri.so file from a PCBSD 9.0 installation and copied it to my FreeBSD 9.0 /usr/local/lib/dri/ folder and now my 3d acceleration works. Are there plans to resolve this bug in FreeBSD version 9.1 ?

Burning .iso DVD's
Aloha, I am not able to get a successfull burn of .iso DVD's 9.0 or higher FreeBSD.

It seems that to run growisofs some people say you have to use this now. Not clearly defined in handbook pages I printed. I would like to make a new burner that works on 9.* up.

I'm not at a place to check this second, but I believe you need to install something like cdtools (?) . Should be listed in handbook. I can check later when I get home.

What tool is generating the various normal port install messages?
I ran into something that looks like a small bug relating to install of the ffmpeg port. (See below.) I will be filing of formal PR (shortly) to report this bug, but usually, I do try to spend at least a few minutes before I file any formal PR, trying to work out for myself what the proper solution or workaround is. In this case however I am utterly stumped. I can't even get to first base. This has made me realize that I know a lot less about the FreeBSD ports building system than I thought I did. So I'm asking: Which tool (or piece of code) is it, exactly, that prints all these normal build messages when building or installing a port? I mean specifically these ones: ===> Generating temporary packing list INSTALL <...> STRIP <...> Who generates those message? I scrounged around for a short while within the /usr/share/mk directory and I was just not able to find anyplace where these messages are being generated, so I'm stumped. Oh yea, and the ports(7) man page is of no help either. (In short, there does seem to me to be some important stuff missing from TFM. And we can include in that any & all information about how to properly build & install any arbitrary port with debugging information preserved.) = ... % cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg % make WITH_DEBUG=yes STRIP= deinstall ... % make WITH_DEBUG=yes STRIP= reinstall ===> Installing for ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: aacplus.2 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: faac.0 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: freetype.9 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: mp3lame.0 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: opencv_imgproc.2 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: openjpeg.2 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: schroedinger-1.0.11 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: theora.0 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: va.1 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: vorbisenc.2 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: vpx.1 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: x264.125 - found ===> ffmpeg-0.7.13_6,1 depends on shared library: xvidcore.4 - found ===> Generating temporary packing list INSTALL doc/ffmpeg.1 INSTALL doc/ffprobe.1 INSTALL libavdevice/libavdevice.a INSTALL libavdevice/libavdevice.so STRIP install-libavdevice-shared gmake: *** [install-libavdevice-shared] Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg. ___ 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"
