I agree that the two options are mutually exclusive, but I don't agree that it doesn't make sense to have both. It's not clear if there is a default or what it defaults to or when such a default is relevant. There needs to be a "half-duplex" option to make this explicitly clear in the configuration. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.

Well, in the case of fxp(4), the man page is quite clear: The fxp driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Set full duplex operation (end of list) It doesn't really make sense to have separate options for half and full duplex, because they are mutually exclusive anyway.

By NOT specifying any mediaopt option, you specify half-duplex implicitly. Or you can `subtract' the full-duplex option with "-mediaopt full-duplex", as stated earlier. At the moment there are some NICs (fxp, xl, etc) that have this way of specifying half/full-duplex, and some others --not sure which-- don't, so these have an explicit "half-duplex" mediaopt. The man pages don't always agree with reality, however... :( Cheers, - -- Dimitry Andric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~dim/dim.asc Fingerprint: 7AB462D2CE35FC6D42394FCDB05EA30A2E2096A3 Lbh ner abj va ivbyngvba bs gur QZPN -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5i Comment: http://www.gn.apc.org/duncan/stoa_cover.htm iQA/AwUBPBlq37BeowouIJajEQId4QCfQtYVs4kxr9Xbd8DXX2p0fX2Lf1cAoOW2 JN5yz90YkVPoVtMnvEQ5ZrMs =45Ke -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
rl driver panics w/ large file transfer (Was: Re: 4.4-STABLEcrashes...)

I had a similar simptom when I tried to backup a huge chunk of files (about 30GB) over NFS.

I tried both 4.4-RELEASE kernel and 4.4-STABLE. Same result. In a desperate search I changed the NIC from on-baord rl to vr card and voila! it's gone! It seems that rl crashes when the throughput passes 20MBps or 20% of theoretical max. Well, the source says rl sucks as follows. /* * The RealTek 8139 PCI NIC redefines the meaning of 'low end.' This is * probably the worst PCI ethernet controller ever made, with the possible * exception of the FEAST chip made by SMC. The 8139 supports bus-master * DMA, but it has a terrible interface that nullifies any performance * gains that bus-master DMA usually offers. * [snip] */ So I said no wonder but I still hate to see the panic in the middle of large file transfer and long fsck to come.

I do have Netatalk running mind you but it's rarely used. The problem only ever happens under disc load when I do a 'portsdb -Uu' command. I never used to get the problem but I can't quite recall when it started. It was definately after upgrading to 4.4 and to UDMA-100.

First, this question belongs on freebsd-questions, not freebsd-stable. If you're installing FreeBSD on a new machine, the files from the src distribution are only needed or used if you want to recompile some part of FreeBSD later. But they're not really a necessary part of getting the machine running, in the same way that the bin distribution is. I suggest that you take a look at the Installation chapter of the FreeBSD handbook, which can be found on the FreeBSD Web site: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html If you have any questions after that, you can send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but you'll need to be much more specific as to what you're trying to do and how. Saying "it doesn't install" doesn't give people enough information to help you. Good luck, Bruce. msg38413/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Installing over nfs
Hi All, I'm sort of new to freebsd...and to this mailing list. I've been installing freebsd44 with source tree I downloaded. I know the files are compress and tar.. My question is I'm trying to modify the source that gets installed especially src/etc/* files. I know this can be many ways, and i tried modifying src/setc.aa setc.inf, along with the files in ..src/etc, but its not working. I'm using boot floppies, kernel, mfsroot, install.cfg, but its not installing the files i want, any pointers.

HEADS UP! GENERIC/Kernel configs using maxusers of 0 will autosize but require new config binary.
The simplified version of the maxusers auto-sizing has been MFCd but people need to be aware that to use it you need to update your kernel source AND recompile /usr/src/usr.sbin/config. If you use an old config with a kernel conf specifying a maxusers of 0 you will get a warning and maxusers will be forced to 8 by the old config binary. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
