tip and USB-RS232 cable
Hi All. I have here a couple of FreeBSD boxes with a USB to serial RS232 cable going from USB0 on hostA to COM1 on hostB. On hostA I recompiled the kernel incuding the following 2 lines: # USB com devices device ucom device uplcom Unplugging and plugging back in on hostA the USB end, this is what I get on the messages file: ... hostA /kernel: uplcom0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected ... hostA /kernel: uplcom0: detached ... hostA /kernel: uhub0: port error, restarting port 2 ... hostA /kernel: uplcom0: Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial adapter (ATEN/IOGEAR UC232A), rev 1.10/2.02, addr 2 On hostA:/etc/remote I created the following line: usb0:dv=/dev/usb0:br#9600:pa=none: However, I can't have tip working. It tries to connect and immediately disconnect! hostA:~ # tip usb0 connected Hangup. [EOT] On hostB everything is fine, since if I use a nullmodem serial cable between the 2 boxes, I get the login: prompt from COM1 at hostA straight away. What am I missing?!? Thanks regards.

Panic under load? 3 volumes in mirroring
Hi Gurus. I was setting up this box with FreeBSD 4.8 PRERELEASE. I cvsup'd and recompiled everything, no problems, then I was configuring volumes with vinum. The goal was to have 3 volumes mirrored 0+1. Well, I attached the mirrors on all the 3 volumes all at once, and after 5 or 6 minutes (1 volume was already in sync) the box panic'd. I haven't seen the messages on console though. I tried again to attach the mirrors to the 2 remaning volumes, 10 minutes later panic again. So when the machine came up, I attached 1 mirror at the time :) no problems. I wonder if there could be an issue with the load. On the /var/log/messages I found quite a few of the following: Feb 23 23:00:54 cabomba /kernel: ad2d: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 58256191 of 28079488-28079615 (ad2 bn 58256191; cn 3626 tn 71 sn 28) retrying I read a mail where a guy blamed the 40 ribbon IDE cable when used with ATA/66 IDE disks, can anyone confirm?

dd problem
Hi Guys. Ok, I admit, most of my experience is on Solaris, but hey, I'd never expect such a command to fail on FreeBSD: # df -k Filesystem 1K-blocksUsedAvail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 2064302 74140 1825018 4%/ /dev/ad0s1f 9247246 1895878 661159022%/usr /dev/ad0s1e 15483630 380750 13864190 3%/var procfs 4 40 100%/proc # # dd if=/dev/ad01sa of=/dev/ad2s1a bs=4096k dd: /dev/ad01sa: No such file or directory # What am I doing wrong?

PLS ignore - dd problem
it's if=/dev/ad0s1a and NOT /dev/ad01sa :/ PS: Thanks Miguel Hi Guys.

SUMMARY: processes swap allocation
Hi again. I recently asked: | Hi All. | | Anyone of you out there knows a simple way to calculate | the swap space allocated by each process? | | I've got a 450 here, running an oracle database, that | for some reason is eating up little by little all available | swap space, until it crashes. | I'm currently trying to track down the responsible process(es). | | Any help is highly appreciated. | | Regs Ok, most of the people pointed me to - top - output of ps command with various options like ps -efly or ps -e -o user,pid,vsz | sort -n - get into more per-process detail with the tools under /usr/proc/bin, typically pmem -x or the like. Unfortunately I already used all of them, the problem is that there must be some proces that wakes up, eat up the memory and quits leaving the memory allocated. Quite tricky to track down I guess. I'll post a follow up eventually. Regs To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
gbde and encryption of filesystems
Hi FreeBSD Gurus, Anyone out there who's using this new FreeBSD 5.0 filesystem encryption feature, gbde? If yes, may I ask to drop few lines with an example about hot to create/mount/umount an encrypted fs? The examples in the man don't work for me...
