It really has no real world value. It's value is totally controlled by the scheduler. The man page for top(1) indicates that %CPU is the "Raw CPU percentage.

Hi Chad Its to do with top using weighted CPU percentage... for some reason this show peaks as more usage than 100% -- maybe something to do with the top averaging out over a specific time. I find that raw CPU mode gives a more accurate representation. raw mode is toggled by passing the -C argument to top.

wpi problems -- kern/142907
Hi All Anyone else having problems with wpi ?? I have upgraded the firmware, helps a little but is still far from perfect. Unless I continuously ping the gateway wpi silently drops the connection. Even then connections to other servers on the lan are dodgy unless I am actively pinging them to keep the connection alive. After a time it all self destructs anyway and I have to restart if_wpi and /etc/rc.d/netif I know that it isn't the access points at fault as other devices and wifi cards work well.

Wireless changed on 8, you have to define wlans in rc.conf then set the
network up onto the appropriate wlan entry;
example;
wlans_wpi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

I'm faced with two cable modems from the same ISP, with the same gateway. I can't lagg(4) the interfaces, since specific IP's are bound to specific modems. This can probably be fixed from the ISP side. It should probably be some antispoofing rule that drops the packets you are sending via the "wrong" interface. You could try communicating the problem to the ISP and hope for the best... I'd rather not go that route. However, I might ask the ISP to move swap two IP's, so that I have two consecutive IPs on two modems and can use /31 notation for the pool. Source hash should then work better. So I'm wondering if using stick-address with a round-robin nat pool is really sufficient to do load balancing of outgoing traffic and not get into session problems with various protocols. Has anybody had similar experiences? I have no experience on this, but theoretically a state can expire while the upper layers are still active... so, I *think* you may have problems... Of course, you could increase the lifetime of states True, I'm mostly worried about DNS queries and other UDP protocols. TCP should theoretically be fine. Thanks for your feedback. Would ECMP (aka RADIX_MPATH) not be suitable for your requirements ?? 2 default routes, one to each of the modems IP's ... that should start bunting traffic down both pipes.

ldap and pam-mkhomedir, anyone know how to set directory ownership to the ldap user logging in ??
Hi All Currently I have got pam authenticating against ldap and mkhomedir creating the home directories, but they are created owned as root:wheel and the user can't write to their own home directory -- I have read the man page for pam_mkhomedir, the only way I see it working at the moment is setting an insecure umask in the pam definition Any ideas on how I can get them owned by the ldap user signing in ?

ultranav usb keyboard panics on bootup -- stuck
Hi All Anybody know how I work around the following panic ?? panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x7fef1c30 not found cpuid = 0 Uptime: 1s I have just purchased a new Lenovo ultranav usb keyboard from .

Well isn't it sort of pointless to proceed until you get the kernel
module loaded at boot time and then see what happens next?
Oh, the kernel module IS loaded as shown in 'dmesg -a' and in
/var/log/messages. However, it can't be loaded unless / and /usr file
systems are mounted.
Filesystems that need modules from anywhere else then the root partition
cannot be loaded from /etc/fstab.
Either make fusefs-kmod install in /boot/modules
(echo 'KMOD_DIR=/boot/modules'
/usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-kmod/Makefile.local) or mount the filesystem
using an rc(8) script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
In the end you do not really care whether it's mounted 20 seconds or 1
second
before login prompt is available.

Well, I gave up using /etc/fstab to mount NTFS partitions at boot time a
couple of months ago when I realized that it's not the correct way to do it
(so I also wrote an rc.d script to do the job, but I'll talk about it
later). However, I recently looked at fusefs-ntfs source files, and as you
can see from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs/Makefile in
revision 1.19, there are changes (installing a symlink) to allow using
/etc/fstab to mount NTFS partitions at boot. So I thought that maybe now
it's okay to use /etc/fstab. Anyway, if it's still not possible to use
/etc/fstab, then what does that sentence mean in the revision 1.19 of
fusefs-ntfs Makefile (again, see the URL above)?
Another question is why, even after loading the kernel module (see the
'dmesg -a' output below), it is not possible to mount the NTFS partition?
--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dmesg -a
...
Starting fusefs.
fuse4bsd: version 0.3.9-pre1, FUSE ABI 7.8
...
Mounting late file systems:

This output from /var/log/messages is also interesting, showing that ntfs-3g
has indeed been run and that it has mounted my Windows partition (but I
don't see it mounted)!

And I didn't know about the /boot/modules way. Could you please ellaborate
more? Is it a different way to load kernel modules than using
/boot/loader.conf? When should one use that?
And now, about coming back to using an rc.d script...After failing to use
/etc/fstab, I wrote this script to mount the partition at boot time.
However, this also does not work!
--
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
#

name="ntfsmount"
rcvar=${name}_enable

command_args="/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8"
load_rc_config $name
: ${ntfsmount_enable="NO"}
run_rc_command "$1"
--
I have made this script executable and have put ' ntfsmount_enable="YES" '
in my /etc/rc.conf. So basically, I'm out of ideas now, and I need the
experts' help in this case. I think this problem is way above my current
knowledge of FreeBSD.
Thanks for your help :)
