Journaling for a flaky FreeBSD VirtualBox guest.
I'm getting to know FreeBSD by running a 64-bit FreeBSD guest in a VirtualBox machine on my OS X Mountain Lion laptop. On occasion, when waking up from sleep, the FreeBSD virtual machine will not restart. VirtualBox marks it as "Aborted." When I restart FreeBSD, I've found on a number of occasions that the `.git` directory of the project I was working on when my laptop went to sleep has become corrupted. `git` won't recognize the directory. I try to rebuild the repository with `git fsck`, but it's usually broken. My `.zsh_history` file has been corrupted at restart, which I've recovered by removing the last line which contains binary nonsense. I run a Linux guest that suffers the same abuse, but does not lose data. My question: If anyone runs FreeBSD in VirtualBox, what VirtualBox settings do you use so that UFS will work correctly and recover recent writes? I'm using UFS built by the install media. % mount /dev/ada0p2 on / (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) I'm using the disk and disk controller setup that VirtualBox suggested when when I told it I was building a FreeBSD machine. A single IDE drive on an IDE controller with "Use host I/O cache enabled." The VirtualBox documentation says that a virtual SATA controller is preferred if you choose to uncheck "Use host I/O cache enabled." http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch05.html#iocaching So... * How should I configure my filesystem for maximum durability, since the VirtualBox virtual drives appear to be flaky? * Does anyone run a similar setup, FreeBSD guest on MacBook host? If you're experience is trouble-free, then what virtual controller do you use? Do you enable host I/O caching? What file system are you running in FreeBSD? -- Alan Gutierrez ~ @bigeasy ___ 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 am close to get it to work. The rm (remote machine) property in /etc/printcap should be changed to 10.155.135.3, i.e. :rm=10.155.135.3:\ Then it's simply a matter of restarting lpd, i.e. /etc/rc.d/lpd restart If you're lucky, your first print job should appear as hardcopy. Mind you, lpd uses the LPR/LPD protocol running on TCP port 515, not the HP JetDirect raw submission on TCP port 9100. Normally the LPD protocol would be enabled, but must be reenabled on the printer if this is not the case. The aforementioned configuration page should list such a setting. -- +---++ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +---++___ 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"

Fat Fingered An 'rm -rf' of Important Files
Okay, I know I should pay more attention to what I'm doing, and having separate partitions isn't an excuse for regular backups. If we can skip the finger wagging on that part I'd appreciate it. Here is what happened. I was mounting a thumb drive and I was wanting to 'rm -rf' what was on it (it doesn't matter if I was root or not, I gave the directories I mount to in /mnt user:usergroup permissions so it would have happened regardless). Because I was having a conversation with my wife, balancing my laptop, and trying to do this, I deleted the contents of /mnt/business (important business documents, journaled partition) and /mnt/storage (4GB irreplaceable photos, all my music (all replaceable once I get my super-multi-format (dvd+/-/cd/rw), and other various files (sermons, notes on sermons, bible study notes, and more), irreplaceable videos and more all gone (in total about 63GiB of files). Is there any way to retrieve any of them? I've not wrote any data to either partition since the accidental deletion. None of my other filesystems (/ and /usr/local/home/*) were affected by my stupidity. -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr "Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid." -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

But you also do need to consider memory usage. On the areas of buildworld that are CPU intensive, they can also be memory intensive. If the active processes need to get swapped out to disk, you can wipe out any performance gain. I've noticed this some with clang. I don't care that clang uses more memory, "compile once, run many", but be aware of it if you're benchmarking. The ram amount can also influence cache sizes, and you have a major difference in memory amounts. ___ 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"

And it also makes sense what you say about the I/O. i will start another to see the results. Maybe try higher settings. Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html ) says: However, since much of the compiling process is I/O bound rather than CPU bound, it is also useful on single CPU machines. On a typical single-CPU machine, run: # make -j4 buildworld make(1) will then have up to 4 processes running at any one time. Empirical evidence posted to the mailing lists shows this generally gives the best performance benefit. On a multi-CPU machine using an SMP configured kernel, try values between 6 and 10 and see how they speed things up.

But the "smaller" Intel seems to beat the crap of the AMD. Is this expected? Should i expect the S2 should be way faster? And just trying to get some advice, is there any tweaks i can do on the S2 system to make it go faster? Like i said i was expecting the S2 to be faster, but of course maybe i am wrong?

For example, if you take a FreeBSD-4 box and rsync it to "/usr/jails/myold4box" on a FreeBSD-8 machine, you should then execute: update411binaries.sh /usr/jails/myold4box Then just configure the jail and fire it up.

hey hey :-) its not that i dont want the bluetooth at all, just want to shut it down when its supposed to be shut down :-) bluetooth stack is always functional and my device is always visible even if i disable all bluetooth services, this seems insecure a bit huh. :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info On 27 Feb 2013 17:41, "Polytropon" wrote: > On Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:56:46 +0100, CeDeROM wrote: > > hey, how can i disable bluetooth in freebsd (9.1)? > > Kill it with fire! ;-) > > > > > my device is visible to other devices whethever i switch the radio > button, > > also the radio button seems to be the only waynto disable my computer > from > > being visible to other devices... > > > > i hwve tried to disable bluetooth and ubt in loader.conf and various > > serives in rc.conf but still my computer was visible to other devices. i > > dont want it to be visible to other bluetooth computers but still i want > to > > have radio switched on to use wifi. > > You can try to omit Bluetooth entirely by defining the symbol > WITHOUT_BLUETOOTH=yes in /etc/src.conf and rebuilding your > system (kernel and world).

What about using a FQDN? Does the name exist in your local DNS zone or does the name exist in the local /etc/hosts file? Either make sure the name is resolvable, or specify the IP address in the /etc/printcap file. Your HP printer should be equipped with a JetDirect card, and you should be able to print a configuration page revealing the current settings. If the settings doesn't match your network, then you need to input the desired settings. I guess this would be possible through the use of the LCD display and the buttons nearby.

Boot hangs on ZOTAC ZBOX (Via Nano X2)
Hi, I've got a ZOTAC ZBOX nano VD01 (http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-nano-vd01.html). The boot process (9.1-RELEASE, amd64) hangs after "Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec". I tried with ACPI off, but it crashes. Here's a pic with "Verbose" turned on: http://i.imgur.com/DQJkmoV.jpg I've found this post about adding some PCI ids: http://www.mavetju.org/mail/view_message.php?list=svn-src-vendor&id=3610911&raw=yes The box gets mentioned in the list. Has this been been committed to 9.1? Does it have anything to do with the issue at hand? Finally, tried with 10-CURRENT (amd64-20130105-r245067), no luck. For what it's worth, here's what it looks like with "verbose" on: http://i.imgur.com/L938PH2.jpg Thanks. ___ 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 can try to omit Bluetooth entirely by defining the symbol WITHOUT_BLUETOOTH=yes in /etc/src.conf and rebuilding your system (kernel and world).

Thanks in advance, Nikos Not sure about it working before but I don't see svn.freebsd.org responding to https now. The two mirrors do respond to https - svn0.us-east.freebsd.org svn0.us-west.freebsd.org If you don't get the two mirrors responding then you are probably using openssl from ports? make sure you update to 1.0.1_8 it fixed svn over https a couple of weeks ago.
