It doesn't mean a file was in active use, just that a chunk of the disk with data relevant to that file was. Keep in mind, one sector of disk may have data for a dozen files in it (or more). Damage doesn't have to occur because a given file was in use at the time of a crash. Isn't there Journal to prevent and reverse such damage? If your power grid is prone to failures or blips, I strongly suggest investing in a UPS. I have UPS in my desktop and also I am working on a laptop, so the power supply is not the only possible cause of system crash.. this may be faulty driver, hardware failure, kernel panic, etc. -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ 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

Thank you for explaining :-) So it looks that it would be sensible to force filesystem check every n-th mount..? Or to do a filesystem check after crash..? Are there any flags like that to mark filesystem unclean and to force fsck after n-th mount? That would assume disabling journal and soft updates journaling I guess..?

9.2-RC1 rc.firewall workstation type and myservices
Hello :-)
I just have setup some service on 9.2-RC1. I want this service to be
available on WAN but still I want to have stateful firewall running. I
am using workstation firewall type and put the service port on
firewall_myservices. However by default only TCP connections are
accepted, still I need to serve UDP connections. Wouldn't that be more
convenient to change TCP into IP for default firewall_myservices
and maybe add TCP and UDP for firewall_myservices_{tcp,udp} ? Below is
the script part..
Best regards,
Tomek
# Add permits for this workstations published services below
# Only IPs and nets in firewall_allowservices is allowed in.
# If you really wish to let anyone use services on your
# workstation, then set firewall_allowservices='any' in /etc/rc.conf
#
# Note: We don't use keep-state as that would allow DoS of
# our statetable.
# You can add 'keep-state' to the lines for slightly
# better performance if you fell that DoS of your
# workstation won't be a problem.
#
for i in ${firewall_allowservices} ; do
for j in ${firewall_myservices} ; do

VirtualBox 4.1.22 and Bridged Network problems
Hello :-) I cannot get Bridged Network setup in VBox 4.1.22 on my 9.1RC3 AMD64 - I get no traffic to the host interface at all. Did anyone noticed this or related problems? I have tried to watch the host interface with WireShark. I have disabled local firewall. I have set net.inet.ip.forwarding=1. Still can't get the bridged connection working :-( Any hints appreciated :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ 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

devd wlan wpa
Hello :-)
I want to setup wpa_supplicant to start after wlan0 interface gets up.
The rc.conf ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP does the job only at boot. When
I get the interface down I need to start everything by hand, which is
a bit annoying when I test a lot and need to switch between Ethernet
and WiFi interfaces very often. I have tried to write devd rule:
notify 0 {
match system IFNET;
match subsystem wlan[0-9]+;
match typeLINK_UP;
media-type 802.11;
match device-name wlan[0-9]+;
action /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i $device-name -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B;
};
But there goes the chicken-egg problem - I want to run wpa_supplicant
on LINK_UP event that occurs when Media Status is connected, but to
get that connected status I need to run wpa_supplicant first, so
capabilities of devd are not enough in this case, or I miss something?
Is there any distinction between LINK_UP and IF_UP?
Any hints appreciated :-)
Tomek
