One MAC, two IP with DHCP (dhclient) how?

2009-09-04 Thread Peter B

In an enviroment where the ethernet network interface is connected to a public
ethernet network (internet). And a IPv4 address assignment scheme is static.
One can simple add primary IP by:
  ifconfig interface inet 1.2.3.4

And an additional aliases with:
  ifconfig interface inet 1.2.3.5 alias

This alias IP can then be used within a jail(8) enviroment.   
So far all is perfectly fine.

But in an enviroment where the primary IP is retrieved or set with DHCP by
using:
  dhclient interface

How does one request an additional IP beside the primary one ..?
Setting an alias directly with ifconfig won't work because the upstream network
won't route it.

Should one set an explicit xid or Client ID somehow? and how is that done in
such case?
(option dhcp-client-identifier data-string; in dhclient.conf)

MIPS XBurst performance?

2009-05-18 Thread Peter B

I have seen some really low-weight, cheap laptops that use the:
  MIPS XBurst 400 MHz CPU.

Does it perform well ..?

An Intel Celeron 900 MHz Will do mpeg4 (divx/h264), is this CPU likely to
do that aswell ..?

mount time

2009-02-04 Thread Peter B

Is it normal with a mount time of 44 seconds for a 250G FAT32 volume ..?

The following might be worth mentioning in the manpage:

fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c
  /*
   * Forbid export requests if filesystem has
   * MSDOSFS_LARGEFS flag set.
   */

  .
  .

  /*
   * Experimental support for large MS-DOS filesystems.
   * WARNING: This uses at least 32 bytes of kernel memory (which is not
   * reclaimed until the FS is unmounted) for each file on disk to map
   * between the 32-bit inode numbers used by VFS and the 64-bit
   * pseudo-inode numbers used internally by msdosfs. This is only
   * safe to use in certain controlled situations (e.g. read-only FS
   * with less than 1 million files).
   * Since the mappings do not persist across unmounts (or reboots), these
   * filesystems are not suitable for exporting through NFS, or any other
   * application that requires fixed inode numbers.
   */

The 'large' option is not mentioned in the manpage:

   vfs_flagopt(mp-mnt_optnew, large, pmp-pm_flags, MSDOSFS_LARGEFS);

The threeshold between normal and large is defined as:
  
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c?rev=1.174.2.1.2.1;content-type=text%2Fplain
  if( pmp-pm_HugeSectors  0x / 
  (pmp-pm_BytesPerSec / sizeof(struct direntry)) + 1)

  And wich will in all cases with 512 bytes per sector result in:
0x / (512/32) +1 = 268435456.9375 * 512 = ~128 * 2^30 = ~128 GB



  Also is this option still experimental?, it's available as R/W in 7.1 so
  it might be of importance..
  Maybe an alternative method for inode mapping is to use the first cluster
  of each file as the inode number. This would give 512 bytes per file on
  a 2 TB volume.



I would suggest the following is included into the mount_msdosfs(8) manpage:

  large
  Use special mapping to handle msdos filesystems larger than 128 GB.

For msdos filesystems larger than 128 GB it's neccessary to use the 'large'
mount option. This will use 32 bytes of kernel memory for each file and
is released when the filesystem is unmounted. This option also prohibits
export for networked filesystems like NFS due inconsistent inode mapping
between unmount and the next mount command.

RAID5 on FreeBSD 6 or 7

2008-12-01 Thread Peter B

Is it vinum or gvinum (geom8) that is the utility to create a RAID5 volume..?
Things like that gvinum lacks the 'stop' command etc.. makes me think
that it's not production ready or that the source code has not matured enough.

Re: Kernel compile R7.0 i386 GENERIC, fails

2008-08-11 Thread Peter B

 Extracted sources: sbase, srelease, ssys

You also need scontrib (ACPI sources are there) component and maybe
some others for successful build.
btw, this is not a very usual (and a simple) way to make kernel.

I added device acpi to the kernel configuration file. And it made the error
go away. I'm downloading scontrib.* now.

But now it complains on:

 In previous releases. It was possible to make at leas the generic
 kernel compile out of the box.

It still is.  You have to get the full sources though.

What you are trying to do now, by extracting more parts of the source
tree as you need them is a very good way to learn the dependencies of
the various parts of the source tree, but it is likely to fail a few
times until you get all the necessary bits.

All this is *very* good as learning experience, but it may be
frustrating if you just want ``something that works now, instead of,
say, a week later''.

I found the errors:
1) add device acpi to kernel configuration file.
2) Faulty FreeBSD NFS server makeing directory entries empty.

So I got all the required source distributions. And I got the ae and ath
driver upgraded and working.

Thanks anyway for trying to point in the right direction.

Recommended S-ATA controller?

2007-10-01 Thread Peter B

What S-ATA controller is recommended for a x86/FreeBSD-6 (or 7) that is
stable and reliable in terms of hardware design, and software drivers ..?

My current Promise card is said to abuse PCI burst mode, in essence exploit
to tight timing margins. And the motherboard doesn't have any option to
disable pci-burst. This gives intermittent errors.

Is there any software to model 3D constructions for viewing and

I have found irit, brlcad, rayshade.. none seems to solve it sufficiently.
If it were 2D only, xfig could done it. Qcad seem to produce .dwg, but only

I have looked briefly in the /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/tsc.c sourcefile and

   As far as I understand this, it is used internally only.

Hmm.. should have looked into the header =)
Guess I'll have to check the clock circuit physicaly..

The reason for asking is to explore a way to sample signals asynchronously.
But useing timestamps to calculate how it looks when sampled synchronously.
Thus avoiding the need for fifo circuitry.

Standalone FTP server for installs.

2005-09-07 Thread Peter B

I have written an ftp server in perl to aid with installations over ftp.
  http://www.ludd.luth.se/~pb/perlftp3.pl

Do like this:
  If your release is located in /path_to_relases/5.4-RELEASE on 10.0.0.99

  Type on your 10.0.0.99 freebsd machine:

perlftp3.pl  /path_to_relases 12000

  Then start sysinstall on the machine to be installed/configured.
  Select: 3 FTP Passive  Install from an FTP server through a firewall.
  Select: URL   Specify some other ftp site by URL

  Type:  10.0.0.99:12000/(complete url  ftp://10.0.0.99:12000/)

Security:
  Any user/pass combination will do.
  Will only read files.
  Locks on the IP of the first client.

I hope this ease some installation scenarios.

Any traces what could be the reason?

With 4.7 (i386) and my patches it works now ..kind of..
And modifying /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf as follows:
  [usb]   -  [usb] 0x04B8 0x010F
  device /dev/usbscanner  -  device /dev/uscanner0

But it should not be neccessary.. USB.. Plug  PRAY! :)

xscanimage  works ok.
scanimage   works (stepper motor goes beyond physical limit in this case).
xsane   crashes after scan, but won't hang anything.

One real nasty thing I discovered is that if one cancels a scan it can happen
that the step motor continues to drive the scanner wagon beyond physical limit
*until* you cancel it by requesting a new scan or disconnect power.
Something that ought to be fixed..

I tested on:
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Jan 31 13:42:19 CET 2003
everything runs there smoothly.

mdodify: /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf

$ /usr/local/bin/scanimage --verbose --device plustek:/dev/uscanner0 \
   --format tiff --mode Color -x 210 -y 297  test.tif
..

There is also a speed issue:

  Windoze FreeBSD
Preview   26 sec  50 sec
300 dpi, 24 bpp, A4   45 sec  66 sec

Windoze system:
  Toshiba laptop, CPU-Intel Celeron 650, 64 MB Ram, Windoze Me

FreeBSD system:
  Motherboard A7V333, CPU-AMD XP1800, 256 MB Ram, FreeBSD 4.7

One can clearly hear (audiowise) that the freebsd system does the scanning in 
chunks while windoze does most tasks in one sweep.

mencoder w bsdbt848

2002-09-30 Thread Peter B


I have tried to get mencoder to capture and encode from my tv card but it 
won't work. Tried various options and examples from freebsd maillinglists 
without success.

Any suggestions how to accomplish realtime capture and compression ?
(possibly with other tools than mencoder..)
