Free NCD Explora 451's to a good home
Guys/Gals, I have an old NCD Explora 451 thin client I no longer have room for, as well as a copy of NCDware 5.1.140. (It's on a CD-R, but rest assured, it is a real, licensed copy from NCD). I also have another 451, but I think it has a bad ethernet port - it doesn't pass a self-diagnostic. I'll toss it in for parts. These terminals were originally intended to be used in a multimedia setup to control a remote media server. but I have since come into possession of a number of SFF PIII systems. These terminals are now just sitting around. Both terminals have 12MB memory cards (with a copy of NCDware on them), so there is no need for a tftp/nfs server unless you need remote storage for configuration data. So, for just the cost of shipping, you can get: 2x NCD Explora 451's (though one may have a damaged network port) - includes stands 2x 12MB memory cards - preloaded with a copy of NCDware 5.1.140 1x 18.5V 2.7A power supply 1x CD-ROM with a copy of NCDware 5.1.140 I'm going to be away for the holidays, so (unless I get responses before Wednesday) this would be available in early January.

It's not Linux, that's for sure :-) Linux distributions tend to introduce local Linuxisms some times. This is not truly bad and one can easily understand the motives behind the additions (compatibility with other SYSV systems, ease of use, etc). Getting used to such Linuxisms is bad though -- as you have already discovered. It tends to be important only when you have to switch to some other UNIX, which is not Linux.

You will come across them whevever you do searches. Read these along with, not instead of, the Handbook. Fourth, after reading these sources, starting with the Handbook and the man pages and on through searches and online publications, if you have additional questions or need some more directions, then post questions to the appropriate FreeBSD Email list.

Since you're not mentioning having tried something already, this might give you a start: After installing cups, you'll find in /usr/local/etc/rc.d a file called cups.sh.sample. If you want cups to automatically start at each boot, copy this to cups.sh. Then you either can reboot your system, or do as root /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start. In your webbrowser, you can now go to http://localhost:631/. Enter 'root' as username and the root password. Then you get into the CUPS administration pages to add your printer.

Re: Free BSD documentation
The most helpful site for me when i wa new to freebsd was http://www.defcon1.org/ While this site is not the most current out there, it has tutorials and what not for real world scenerios, ones the author actually used himself. However, aside from the FreeBSD Handbook, websites are not all that organized, and for this reason i would suggest picking up a book such as Absolute FreeBSD or FreeBSD Unleashed. They are rather helpful for the new to intermediate user. They are also helpful for experienced Linux users because you have the ability to scan through a particular section looking for the command, application, etc to do something you are familiar in linux with. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD doesn't actually sell anything. On the other hand, it makes a great deal of stuff available for anyone to download for free. There's no limitation on downloading the system from anywhere, other than certain national restrictions on strong cryptography. Even so, unless your own locale forbids import of strong crypto, you can always download from, say, Canada or Germany perfectly legally. If you're after a set of the FreeBSD installation disks on CD Rom or DVD, those can be ordered from various companies around the world, some of which are listed here: http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/misc.html Those companies are not part of FreeBSD.org though: if you're having problems ordering from one of them, you should contact the customer support for the company directly.

Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html If you can configure your system to preserve a crash dump and extract from it a backtrace which you then use send-pr(1) to send in, you should find a developer willing to help you.

A prime suspect would be hardware failure -- if you have the resources to do so, try swapping out components to see if you can isolate the problem. Don't forget to swap out the simplest parts, like network cables. Another prime suspect would be recent changes made to the configuration of your system or the network it is attached to. Given the nature of the panic, changes to the way routing is done would be a good place to start investigating. (Nb. if it turns out to be a change that someone else made on a machine elsewhere on your network, then reporting the problem to the FreeBSD developers would become imperative: remote crash bugs are very bad news indeed) This topic is best dealt with on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list -- please post any follow up there.

Root fs full - free space always below 0
Hello, so during a portupgrade on my laptop the root fs, with soft updates enabled, became full. So I removed a bunch of stuff to make a few gigs available. I checked and df reported more than a gig of free space - so I re-ran portupgrade. Then I noticed it was full again, with df showing a negative amount of free space. I removed even more stuff, and rebooted just incase there were more blocks to be freed. After the reboot df showed a negative amount of space again. So I removed even more data (rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles) and now I had 115 meg free df claimed. I then re-ran df in quick succession a few times and watched diskspace rapidly decrease to a negative 600 meg or so (note: the decrease was perhaps 150 meg/second, so it cannot have been a process writing data to disk in the background). After a couple more reboots and a manual fsck in single user mode I still have the same problem (on both CURRENT and 5.2.1-RELEASE kernels).

AFAIK, the k62 is a 32-bit processor. i have downloaded 5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso this file please tell me how to burn it on r-cd to make it bootable free bsd cd and also do i need other files in this ftp folder i mean 5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso and 5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc2.iso if i do need these files can you tell me how to burn them on the r-cd i mean which Sequence and also the file i downloaded 5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso does it have all the packages i need to run a system. The disk1.iso is really all you will need to have an operational system. You don't just burn the file to CD, you have to 'Burn CD from CD image'. In adaptec easy-cd creator, this option is under the 'File' menu. Regards, Steve __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hey Oracle, [I have modified the Subject line just a tad. It looked like you were shouting.] Hey i have dowloaded freebsd 5.2.1 for amd because i have amd k-6 II from the following site ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/5.2.1/ AMD64 is a whole different ballgame, use this directory instead: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/5.2.1/ i have downloaded 5.2.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso this file please tell me how to burn it on r-cd to make it bootable free bsd cd and also do i need other files in this ftp folder I suggest you look for Nero Burning ROM, Easy CD Creator or cd writing software at google.com. As Steve said, don't just burn the file itself to cd. Instead of buying a commercial cd burning program, you could buy a cd set. :-) does it have all the packages i need to run a system. -disc1 does. -miniinst aswell, IIRC (enough at least to get a decent CLI system running). -bootonly I have doubts about.

RFC: Free Software Hardware Compatibility - Centralised DB
PLEASE NOTE: * Please do not reply-all (this is essentially an announcement and request for comments. For further discussion, please advise that you wish to be added to the soon-to-be-created mailing list (I'm still looking for an appropriate site to host this)). * Please forward this as appropriate (namely to those involved in hardware compatibility, certification, driver development, and/ or manufacture, as it relates to our free software community). ASSUMPTION: We in the free software community wish to have better and more up to date hardware identification and support. We assume that it is in the best interests of each Free Software Unix-like operating system distribution, each kernel (eg. Linux, *BSD, HURD) and in the best interests of the end users, to have a centralised/ unified location for hardware information. First and foremost though, it is in the best interests of the manufacturers - to simplify their job: For Microsoft, they have a single point of contact. Contrast this with the numerous HCLs, hardware sites (such as www.linux1394.org and linuxprinting.org), kernels and distributions, such as Debian, Red Hat, FreeBSD and a myriad of others. As a manufacturer, it is simply impossible to (generally) go anywhere near supporting all these free software projects. And so it is in the best interests of each of us individually, and collectively, if we can simplify the job of the manufacturer. As a manufacturer of a widget, if I have a single, commonly known place to go to provide technical and contact information, as much or as little as I desire (even perhaps just bus IDs and product names), then I might actually do so. We, as a community, might just have a hope of keeping up to date as compared with the proprietary os's out there, namely MSW*. - So, I hereby propose such a database be established. I am willing to contribute some of my own time and effort to doing so. This database and surrounding facilities will be os-, vendor-, distribution- and kernel- neutral, and will thereby attract many otherwise disparate parties, such as the BSDs and the GNU/Linux distros. If you and/ or your company is interested in supporting this effort, by way of working together on this project to unify HCLs, device and driver information or the like, then please reply to me and let me know that you would like to be added to the soon-to-be-created mailing list. If your organization can actively devote even some small resources to the project, that is obviously very much appreciated. - Once the database and submission facilities are minimally established, I propose that relevant parties widely advertise/ promote the fact to manufacturers (and users and developers too), that this database is the preferred and centralized means of submission of such information. The plan is to integrate seamlessly with existing Distribution-specific HCLs and due to the centralization provide and richer facility than is otherwise possible today.

Running out of inodes means you've run out of space for directory entries, and thus can't create any new files. df -hi will tell you how many inodes are available on your filesystems. Short-term, the solution is to delete some files off your /var partition. Long term, you may need to reformat /var with more inodes than the default, if this is a chronic problem. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Inact v. Free Memory
I have a quick question regarding the differences between Inactive and Free memory. Context: I'm running 4.9 stable as a desktop machine. Right after a fresh reboot most of the system memory shows up as Free (using top). Then, after a few hours of work... running X, web browsers, and the like, most appears in Inact. My question is... after I shut down all programs, ctrl alt backspace X, and get back to a terminal, why does top still show all the memory just freed by my desktop programs as inactive? Please see my attached top_output.txt. You'll notice that after adding up all the memory in the programs that are still running, the total doesn't come close to reaching 308M Inact.

The system still has the contents of your old programs kept in memory, but marked as inactive.

5.2-current does not allow login and panics with modified memory after free

The box ran half a day and a night just fine. After that it was shutdown correctly and after a couple of hours turned on. I have heared (leds do not work due to connector incompatibility with supermicro case) high hdd activity for some time, but all filesysrems were marked as clean. I tried to login but i could not because after i types 'root' at the login nothing happened at all. Just a blinking cursor. However, the box was not hanging - screensaver appeared after some time and i can type on tty and also swicth vttys and use scroll lock to scroll boot messages. 3DM did not respond via web. So, i waited 4 hours and rebooted. After reboot i can logon but after several requests to RAID status via web (3dm) i got the following on the console: twe0: TWEIO_GET_PARAM failed for 0x402/0x3/16 Then after a minute or two the following happened: Memory modified after free 0x788f400(508) val=20202020 @ 0xe788f400 panic: Most recently used by devbuf at line 128 in file /usr/src/sys/udm_dbg.c cpu=0; Debugger (panic) Stopped at Debugger +0.46: xchgl %ebx, in_Debugger.0 and i typed 'c' in debugger: the system started to shutdown and here is what i saw: twe0: failed to delete unit 0 stray irq9 Is this all a twe driver problem or general 5.2-CURRENT instability?

Re: Why does `df` lie about free space
That's an old problem, but yesterday I was working with 1.4G UFS2-slice reported by `df` to have 400kb of free space. Alternative calculations (e.g. writing a random file until kernel says no inode's free) give a result of more that 100M (!) unused. Thats about 7% of the whole size! That could a harmless bug, but some applications (PostgreSQL is!) uses statfs to get free space info. Posetgres dies saying can't write his *.pid cause FS is full (but it has 100M inodes free)... So whats wrong with `df` (e.g. statfs/fstatfs)? Nothing. The thing that is wrong is that you do not understand disks. Disk space and inodes are almost completely unrelated concepts. If you look at the df man page, you might notice that if you do a df -i it will report the number of inodes as well as the amount of disk space. Those are under columns labeled iused, ifree and %iused. Disk space is just that, the amount of disk storage used and available but inodes are table entries. When you originally newfs a file system it creates a table with a certain number of entries. One of those entries is used for each file, directory and symlink that is created - no matter how big the file is. It is essentially a list of the files on the file system along with a bit of information on how to find the file and dates and such. So, if you create a lot of tiny files, you are likely to run out of inodes long before you run out of space on the disk. On the other hand, if you create even just one huge file, you could use just one inode and still use up all of the disk space. In addition to this, there are things such as reserves and different ways of measuring amounts of disk used that mean that different utilities report disk usage somewhat differently. All of this is well documented in the handbook, various published FreeBSD guides, plus there are FAQs on it so better start studying before you go to claiming that something is not working correctly. jerry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The install goes fine until it begins to extract the files to the /usr directory, at which it then spits out this error multiple times: /mnt/usr: create symlink failed, no inode free and continues to do so whenever something is added to the hard drive during the installation. Curiously enough, though, the installation continues, even though I got that error message again and again when the base install was completed and the extra packages were being installed. I decided at that point to abort the installation. Is there any way for me to fix this, and if so, how can I do it? Try allocating all of the disk space to a single root partition. This will make backups a little more difficult, but not much.

The install goes fine until it begins to extract the files to the /usr directory, at which it then spits out this error multiple times: /mnt/usr: create symlink failed, no inode free and continues to do so whenever something is added to the hard drive during the installation. Curiously enough, though, the installation continues, even though I got that error message again and again when the base install was completed and the extra packages were being installed. I decided at that point to abort the installation. Is there any way for me to fix this, and if so, how can I do it? - Dave V. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Determining free memory on FreeBSD 4.8-REL
I know this question has been asked, but the answers I find tend to be along the lines of Well, it's complicated. How do I determine if my FreeBSD is actually low on memory not? And what is Inact? I did read the manpages, but even they seem to skirt how I should view Inact vs. Free. (I did read the tuning manpage.) Let's say I have this: last pid: 23737; load averages: 0.21, 0.15, 0.27 up 5+20:43:14 15:22:31 231 processes: 1 running, 230 sleeping CPU states: 5.0% user, 0.0% nice, 2.7% system, 1.6% interrupt, 90.7% idle Mem: 76M Active, 25M Inact, 62M Wired, 2876K Cache, 35M Buf, 82M Free Swap: 496M Total, 41M Used, 456M Free, 8% Inuse So I have 82MB of free memory, 35MB of memory being used by the OS as disk IO, cache is different from Buf in some way or another (the top manpage doesn't quite go into details here). I don't quite get Inact and Wired. Why am I using 41MB of swap then if I have 82MB of free memory? On another box I have: last pid: 42029; load averages: 0.46, 0.38, 0.34 up 5+20:24:15 15:27:12 35 processes: 2 running, 33 sleeping CPU states: 1.0% user, 0.0% nice, 11.7% system, 6.1% interrupt, 81.3% idle Mem: 51M Active, 332M Inact, 97M Wired, 19M Cache, 61M Buf, 992K Free Swap: 1008M Total, 116K Used, 1008M Free 992K in Free but 332MB in Inact. So what is my conclusion here? That I have 332,992 KB free for use? Looking at vmstat I have no swapping going on: # vmstat 5 procs memory pagedisks faults cpu r b w avmfre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 ad4 in sy cs us sy id 3 0 0 189844 29624 80 0 0 0 442 375 0 0 2863 4011 564 3 6 90 (ignore) 2 0 0 188480 271322 0 0 0 829 714 0 0 5244 1041 667 1 9 90 2 0 0 188900 166601 0 0 0 1231 710 0 3 7215 1425 809 1 10 89 If I see ANY swapping going on should I worry?

I don't quite get Inact and Wired. You can view all of Inactive, Cache and Free as free memory. The difference is if the memory might be dirty and need to be flushed to swap before being reused. (Free is completely free and ready to be used at once, Cache is probably not dirty, while Inactive is probably dirty.) Let me rephrase this a little. Pages in Inactive _can_ be dirty (if they have been written to) while pages in Cache are already clean (laundered), that is, can be used for other purposes without delay, but can also be reactivated (moved to Active) if their current contents is needed again. Inactive, on the other hand, has to be laundered before the pages move on to Cache, which they eventually do. It works like this: If the kernel's laundry routine finds a dirty page in Inactive for the first time it marks and skips it, in the hopes that the page is ephemeral and will be gone next time around. If it's not gone and the launderer finds it for the second time it schedules it for flushing to disk and skips it again. If it later finds the page for the third time it is hopefully clean by then and can be moved to Cache. Pages that are clean right from the start (that only have been read) will be moved to Cache without further ado, whenever (Cache+Free) falls below its lower hysteresis level. That is, the move will be in chunks. And yes, I agree that it's a little complicated. ;-) If I see ANY swapping going on should I worry? I don't think so. Some swapping is normal in UNIX in general. As you note a little bit of swapping is perfectly normal. If you start to see a lot of swapping you probably want more memory. The slow increase in swapped-out pages you see over time even if the system is not short of memory is caused by the laundry procedure I described above, and is perfectly normal. It's kind of a preemptive strategy in order to have enough clean pages available without delay when you need them. Hope to have shed some light on the subject.

Free space wierdness
I have a system running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. It primarily functions as a firewall and router, and is generally pretty lightly loaded (load averages around 0.2). It is a low end system (P200, 64mb RAM, 2 gig hard drive), and is generally stable as a rock. The system has drives setup as follows: / 256M (UFS) /usr1.2gb (UFS+Softupdates) (/var and /tmp are linked onto /usr/var and /usr/tmp respectively) This morning I noticed that the / partition was at 108% utilization, and df -h looked like this (approximately): FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 252M 256M -8M108% / Oddly, du -h -d1 -x showed only a total of 29Mb used on the partition! The output looked like this: su-2.05b# du -h -d1 -x 68K./dev 2.0K./usr 2.7M./stand 1.3M./etc 512B./proc 4.0M./bin 542K./boot 2.0K./mnt 6.4M./modules 30K./root 12M./sbin 4.0K./tmp 4.0K./oldvar 29M. When I rebooted the system (without deleting any files), df -h showed the following: FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 252M29M 203M12%/ This is good, since the correct amount of free space now shows, and the server is back to running perfectly.

Re: Free space wierdness
I recently had a similar phenomenon happen on a Linux box, but the same could happen on BSD I believe. The problem ended up being that a process had created a bunch of huge files, then deleted them but hadn't closed them yet. The space doesn't get reclaimed until the file is deleted and has no open file descriptors. This is why the space came back after the reboot. If it happens again you can use 'lsof' (available in the ports collection) to find out what's holding the descriptors open. As for being over 100% capacity, I believe UFS (like most *nix filesystems) reserves some amount of space that only root can use. This lets you boot and repair a system is an important filesystem (e.g. /, /usr) is full.

Re: Free space wierdness
UNIX file caching. The files were likely deleted but still open by some process and therefore still taking up space. The reboot killed the process, released the file and -viola- the free space was reported correctly. HTH, Christopher Hollow Herbert Wolverson wrote: I have a system running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE.
