Maximum code size and heep
I am running i386 FreeBSD-4.9. My hardware has 2GB of memory and 3GB swap. However, I have noticed that I cannot make a running code larger than about 500MB. If the code grows from the heep by mallocs larger than this I get coredumps. The coredumps are no larger than about 500MB. Is there a system limit on the size of the heep, or something that disallows running with more than 500MB total size? even though I have 2GB RAM.

Trouble with atapicam and DVD+RW

I can record CDs with cdrecord on cd0, BUT I cannot record DVDs on cd1. I am using Memorex DVD-Rs. Rated at 4.7GB on the label.

It looks as though growisofs thinks that the device is read-only. Any advice would be greatly appreciated; I was hoping to use this DVD setup as a back-up media as tapes are getting expensive.

You might also be having some issues with SATA support under 4.9 with the ICH5 controller if you were using these rather than a normal ATA port; it might be the case that 5.2.x would work better for you. People are actively working to improve this area. I'll try it under 5.2.x also; but that will take until the weekend... Can you a burn a CD on cd1? What device are you using with cdrecord, via SCSI or are you specifying the device as ATAPI:...? I can burn CD's on cd1 using cdrecord without specifying the device as ATAPI, the command that I use is: cdrecord -v dev=1,1,0 nycity.iso The output of camcontrol devlist -v might also be interesting...

Consider testing another brand. I feel silly... Well, I went out to Office Max and bought a pack of HP dvd+rw DVDs, tried them out and the burner worked perfectly. I promptly burnt 3GB of back-up without a problem!!! Thanks for the hints. I'm new to DVDs and didn't realize that one DVD media is not necessarily the same as another; or the fact that the little - or + on the label means something important.

DVD R/W in FreeBSD?
Does FreeBSD support ATA DVD writers the same way that it supports CD writers? I have been to SOS's web page, and have looked at hardware support info, but have found no hint at whether ATA DVD writers are supported under FreeBSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They were helpful to me in finding the problem: When I thought about it for a time I realized that it happens on days that I was doing administrative work as ROOT! It was NETSCAPE! running under root. It turns out that I periodically tweak our router via Netscape. If I happen to be logged in as root on my FreeBSD terminal when I log into the router with Netscape, then after I'm finished with my work and close Netscape, I find that the permissions on /dev/null have been reset to: crw---. I'm running Netscape-4.76. I also have a late version of Mozilla installed which doesn't seem to mangle the file permissions on /dev/null the way Netscape does. I also don't need to be logged in as root when I run Netscape to tweak the router, it just happens that when I'm doing other administrative stuff I think to look at the router also.

File permissions suddenly change for /dev/null.
I'm running FreeBSD-4.8. Sometimes the file permissions for /dev/null get mysteriously changed by some unknown process to: crw--- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Sep 2 11:20 /dev/null This has a devastating effect on user processes that want to open /dev/null. Whenever my system starts acting funny, the first place I look is at the permissions for /dev/null. When I find them changed I go under root and execute: chmod 666 /dev/null to get things back to normal. Has anybody seen this before? Have I got a hidden umask set up wrong somewhere, or is one of my daemons the culprit? Or could it be happening during the time that I run as root doing system maintenance?

Have you tried using chflags to prevent the permissions from being changed? This should do the trick, albeit a dirty hack. Sorry, I didn't mention that I tried setting flags on /dev/null: chflags schg /dev/null What happens is that sendmail complains that it can't open /dev/null. Hey! I just realized that this may be a clue! Does sendmail fiddle with /dev/null? What happens if sendmail tries to lock /dev/null after it opens it? Does schg prevent fcntl from locking /dev/null, if that is what sendmail uses?

In addition to being a FreeBSD enthusiast, I am also a Minix enthusiast. I've learned a great deal about how UNIX works by hacking the Minix OS myself. A by-product of my hacks was the development of a FreeBSD kernel module that impliments the Minix Version 2 file system. The latest release that it runs on is FreeBSD 4.6.x. My question is whether the FreeBSD community is interested in such a module? If so, then how does one go about submitting a kernel module for evaluation and possible inclusion in the source? My impression is that the Minix fs is a little simplistic perhaps for inclusion in the FreeBSD source. If so, then is it possible to submit it as a port? I have never seen an example of a kernel module that was submitted as a port, however.
