Re: Port update hosed entire system
Just a little update on this, sorry to be unresponsive but my wife had a minor surgery yesterday so I been a little busy, going to try and get back to this today... The reason I was able to get 25GB back is because there was a hidden .trash file that some file manager must of created that had lots of old files in it. The drive is only a 68GB drive that only has one partition, originally I was just testing the uses of gjounal. But somewhere down the line I forgot about this and just keep using it. /home is on a separate drive though. But everything else is on this one drive. /rescue/sh does not segfault. I still have not rebooted the system, making sure any data updated in the last to days is backed up. Then I'll have to bit that bullet. Thanks all for help and suggestions.

So you could first check what takes up space in / that is not required to be there, and remove it, then the write buffers will be written properly. A sync command could do this on request. Having negative free space will prevent non root users from writing data, but that will be returned to the applications as error returns to write calls not held in write buffers. Check with df -h for _no_ negative values before rebooting the system into SUM. I'm not sure if the write buffers can survive a shutdown. They can't but they're not connected with negative free space reports. A normal shutdown will flush all the buffers. I'm still able to issue sudo, so using sudo rm -r I was able to free up 25GB...but still, /bin/sh, ls, clear all seg fault and su doesn't work and switching consoles doesn't let me log in. That sounds that somehow calling programs (executing / forking) is not working properly anymore. As this is one of the most fundamental mechanisms of the systems, it's hard to believe that this can be triggered through a port update... More likely one of the shared libraries they all use has been overwritten. Updating ports certainly shouldn't be able to do this though.

But anyway, the issues with screenlets is getting any of the screenlets that interface with the system to work such as Mount, MyIP, Netmonitor or the CPU Meter, when I tried this with FreeBSD 7.2 none of them worked because of all the Linux device names.

Are you sure of that? Seems like devfs permissions are only

Yeah, I am sure of that. It is what I have setup here.
/etc/devfs.conf - This one only affects boot time stuff.
/dec/devfs.rules - This one contains the rules will be applied
during and post boot. It will also require you to specify which to
use in /etc/rc.conf as this file can contain multiple rule sets.
But can I use that to dynamically set up my link to the new device
when the memory stick is inserted?
Use devd.conf to do that. This is what I do.
#Mount and usb device that is plugged in and creates a da device
notify 20{
match system DEVFS;
match typeCREATE;
match cdevda[0-9]*;
action /usr/local/etc/rc.d/usb_device_action mount

notify 20{
match system DEVFS;
match typeDESTROY;
match cdevda[0-9]*;
action /usr/local/etc/rc.d/usb_device_action umount

The action line is what you want it to do, in my case I have this
script I wrote that reads the device label, if it finds the label the
it will create a mount point with that label name, If it can't find a
label it creates a mount point using the device name.

So what you are saying then is that there should be roadblocks on ever street to make sure that all cars and drivers have proper documentation to make sure car theft does not occur? Well, now we are into the car analogy which really doesn't scale Sorry, it was suppose to be more of a right of free travel analogy, than a car thing. Or possibly analogy of traffic follow and bottlenecks created by the stopping and checking of every vehicle. well for this discussion. However, lets visit this concept. It is already required in the US and I would assume many other countries that a vehicle must process the proper tags and documentation to be operated on a public street. The operator of said vehicle must also process proper documentation that he/she is legally allowed to operate said vehicle. Neither of these two requirements is a handicap to the honest individual. Many states, including New York State now equip their police vehicles with devices that can scan the tags on vehicles as they are traveling and can ascertain whether the vehicle is properly insured and registered to be operated on the highway. This non intrusive method of law enforcement has resulted in hundreds of illegal vehicles being removed from the highway. At present, I know of no method to determine the legality of the driver without the police officer physically checking the drivers identification. It has been proposed that such devices be installed at regular intervals along federal highways in the US. As usual, the regular scumbags have instigated legal action to stall the use of such a system on a pseudo invasion of privacy concept. In essence, the only privacy that would be invaded would be those of the user of said illegally operated vehicle. So to answer you question, yes I believe in strict enforcement of laws and regulations. Only a felon has a reason to fear such enforcement. A non intrusive method of enforcement of said laws is a bonus. Only those who break laws have a reason to fear them. I do agree in the enforcement of existing laws. But I don't see the as non intrusive. If your going to check all packages coming through the root servers then there is going to be intrusion into your privacy. Otherwise how would they check you allowed to use the content? What happens in a case where someone has hacked you network and is using it to transfer the their stolen content, such as in the mp3 downloading cases? Then once a new law is on the books, the officials find ways to use the laws in way the were not intended as in the case of the Patriot Act were it's use is over 90 some percent of the time has nothing to to with terrorism.

Help with devd.conf
I'm trying to understand devd.conf to auto mount usb devices. For
example I have a usb drive that will show up as da1 so as a test I just
want to write something to syslog when it is plugged in.
This is what I have tried in devd.conf:
notify 20{
match system DEVFS;
match subsystem CDEV;
match typeCREATE;
match cdevda[1-9]+;
action logger you plugged in some usb device;
};
notify 20{
match system USB;
match subsytemDEVICE;
match typeATTACH;
action logger some type of usb thing attached;
};
With either of these the message does not get logged. I have tried
different priorities and that doesn't make a difference. I have also
tried using attach instead of notify and that seems to trigger
something, but then I get an error message:
SCSI sense: UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 (Not ready to ready change, medium

Can you paste the config.log from the port's work source directory
(where configure is located)?
Can you try the following and see if it compiles?
echo '#include stdio.h\nint main(void){ printf(hello world!\\n);
return 0;}\n' t.c ; gcc t.c -o t; ./t; rm t.c
You should either see:
hello world!
Or some compiler errors/warnings/etc.
I tried this earlier a got this:
gcc -o test test.c
./test.c
This returns:
/usr/bin/ld cannot find -lgcc_s
ldd `which gcc`
returns:
ldd: /usr/bin/gcc: not a dynamic executable
I've attached the config.log from libtool15

ATA drive locking FreeBSD 5.4 system
I just add a 160GB ATA133 drive to my system. On this system I have an IDE DVD burner on IDE channel 1. The 160GB drive is on IDE channel 2. When ever I try to copy any data from the DVD drive to the 160GB hard drive the system locks up. All I can do is a hard reboot. I have the follow sysctl in my loader.conf hw.ata.ata_dma=1 hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 hw.ata.wc=1 I've tried to set hw.ata.wc=0 an hw.ata.ata_dma=0, but still the machine locks. The machine is an older dual PIII and the IDE busses max rate is UDMA33. All the other drives on the system are SCSI U160 and I have no problem copying to the drives from the DVD drive. Anyone have suggestions or a way around this other than only using the SCSI drvie to copy from the DVD?? Otherwise, It look as though I'll need a new machine for the ata133 drive because all my PCI slots are filled!! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Kylix or libborqt
On Thursday 17 March 2005 3:40 pm, John wrote: Hey, folks! My problem is that, of course, it is only compiled for MS-Windows and Linux. That's OK, I have Linux compatibility installed so that I can run acroread. What makes matters worse is that it was built using something called Kylix by Borland (http://www.borland.com/kylix/). As such, it depends on a library called libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so. I'm pretty much a newbie to Linux applications on FreeBSD. I got acroread running because the packages did everything for me. So... 1) Do I need a Linux libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so, or a FreeBSD one? 2) Should I forget trying to run the darn thing in Linux mode and try to port it to FreeBSD, since it is open source? The biggest problem with porting it would probably be Kylix itself, which, while GPL, I haven't found the source. It must be quit extensive, because the download is 90.7 Mb and includes two high-performance C++ compilers. The Windows version came with whatever DLLs it needed, so I suspect you don't really have to go THAT far. Kylix is a Borland IDE that is basically Delphi (Object Pascal) for Linux, although the last version did include C++. As far as I know the Kylix project died at borland. I use Delphi at work so I was psyched when Kylix came along. BUTkylix never ran on FreeBSD, people tried for sometime but I don't think anyone ever got it beyond installing. As for that lib if its not a lib supplied by kylix then just grab the lib and install it, but with the qt in the name I suspect that its some borland modified qt based lib. As for data modeling I have to think there are some out there but I don't use any so someone else will have to tell you.

I removed the card and switched back to the Nvidia driver and everything was fine. 2) This one I have found no work around or even have a clue as to why it does it, but if I use the line In on my sound card to transfer music from tape to cd it locks up.
