Is there a way to slow down file transfers?

2003-02-14 Thread J. Scott Edwards

I have a remote machine running 4.7 which is streaming audio using
icecast.  I was hoping to back up the machine by transferring the files to
my local machine and doing the backup here.  However when I try to copy
any (non-tiny) files, using scp for example, it floods the network
connection and messes up the audio stream.  Is there any way I can
transfer files from it at a much slower rate, something like 1/8 normal?

Thanks

 i am trying to copy a data cd with

 i don't think it is working... i don't have the error message, but the cd
 doesn't work when i burn it.
 can i somehow find out for sure if bs=2048 is correct ?
 is there any other info i need about the cd before i can copy it?


It seems like I just did 'dd if=/dev/acd0c of=/home/image.iso' when I did
this and it worked fine.

  wacky. how/why is this the case?

What is the division by 100 for?  The uptime is accurate to 10 mS?

That is impressive.  I'm curious if they stayed at a particular version or
if they update as new versions are available?  I thought I read somewhere
that FreeBSD could load a new kernel without rebooting?

 The list is dominated by FreeBSD machines with

 Go FreeBSD.

ifconfig_aue0, fatal trap 12

2002-12-19 Thread J. Scott Edwards

Hello,

I am having some difficulties moving FreeBSD to another machine.  I moved
the hard drive from a machine with a normal (NE2000) nic to a machine with
a D-Link USB to Ethernet adapter.  First I ran /stand/sysinstall to set up
the aue interface (and then had to remove the old interface from rc.conf).

But if I try to boot the machine with the D-Link plugged it it hangs on
the initial hostname setup.  If I leave the D-Link unplugged it will
boot and then I can plug in the D-Link and it will work just fine.  But
then when I try to shutdown it gets a aue0: usb error rx: IOERROR, Fatal
trap 12: page fault while in kernel.

I tried to just reinstall but the installer hangs if the interface is
plugged in.  Should I reinstall without the interface and then add it in
afterwards?

Thanks
  -Scott

cdrdao

2002-12-13 Thread J. Scott Edwards

I tried to install the cdrdao port (4.7 release) and it was locked because
of licensing issues.  I looked at the home page for cdrdao and it said the
licensing issues have been resolved.  Is there a way to unlock the port
or update it?

Also I am trying to use cdrdao as a replacement for cdaranoia, can it read
individual audio tracks into .wav files?

Thanks
  -Scott
