Netgear FA-311/ IF_SIS / FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE

2002-01-08 Thread Herbert

Hei!

Anyone using a Netgear FA-311 under FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE? I have some
troubles since my first upgrade to 4.5-PRERELEASE! Since then i rebuilt
the world and kernel 3 or 4 times. The last buildworld was a few hours
ago.
Sometimes the connection to my router/firewall and the internet freezes.
After I have rebooted the pc the network is working again. 
I had no such problems in FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE.
At the moment I have two pcs in my LAN: 192.168.1.1 (nat
router/firewall) and 192.168.1.3 (my FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE
workstation). The router is always working correctly.  

Any ideas, what the problem could be? 

Regards,
Herbert

This is probably a FAQ question...

2002-01-08 Thread Ryan Dooley

Hey,

What is the maximum file system size limit in 4.4-STABLE?

I'm trying to setup a 1.6ish TB filesystem, but I can never get more than
1020GB recognized.  Do I take it that the upperlimit is 1TB/filesystem?

Cheers,
Ryan

Hm, ok the FAQ, but
recently - as seen on the well known mailing lists - there was a post
that 48bit addressing is now available. If I understood it correctly this
should give you (at least!) 2^48 = 256 TBytes.

But I myself would like to know if this calculation is correct.
(or is it 2^48 blocks?)

If my assumtion is correct then this would be a great time to update the 
corresponding section in the FAQ :) (hey! this is one of these updates that 
actually fill you with pride :)))

greetings,
aaron.

Device size != Partition size != Filesystem size != File size

48-bit addressing is for addressing raw disk blocks on the device.

installworld broken

2002-01-08 Thread Jim Mock

It appears that when the locale stuff was backed out, it broke
installworld.

=== bin/csh/nls/italian

*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/src/bin/csh/nls/ja.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/bin/csh/nls.
*** Error code 1

Changing DL from ja_JP.eucJP to ja_JP.EUC in src/bin/csh/nls/ja/Makefile
fixed it for me since /usr/share/nls/ja_JP.eucJP doesn't exist.

Re: cvsup to 4.4-stable

 Date: 08 Jan 2002 14:52:40 +0800

 Hi all,
 
 I am a newbie of freebsd I tried to cvsup by just type cvsup
 /usr/share/example/cvsup/stable-supfile and then copy the
 /etc/default/make.conf to /etc and do the 'make buildworld; make
 installworld'. After that I compile kernel and reboot it. I found that
 it is 4.5-PRERELEASE. I just do the same thing few week ago and it
 showed that it is 4.4-STABLE. Did I do sth wrong?? I hope to make it
 to be 4.4-STABLE Anyone can help???

You have cvsuped to the stable branch of FreeBSD V4 which is tagged
RELENG_4 and is currently named 4.5-PRERELEASE. It will soon be named
4.5-RC1 and eventually 4.5-STABLE. All are stable at different points
on the path that produces a snapshot that is tagged as a release. (So
you did nothing wrong.)

Please refer to the handbook section on The Cutting Edge for a
detailed description.

Also, DON'T copy and /etc/defaults file into etc! The way it works is
that /etc files carry CHANGES to the values supplied in the
/etc/defaults files. SO never edit the /etc/defaults and don't copy
them into etc. Just create a /etc file with changes you wish to make
to the defaults.

Problem installing world

2002-01-08 Thread Ulf Zimmermann

CVSup'ed around 4pm PST. When trying to installworld it complains about
/usr/share/nls/ja_JP.eucJP doesn't exists when it tries to install /bin/csh.
When making this directory by hand, make installworld deletes it at the
start and fails again with the same problem.

Re: Reproducable system hangs in -STABLE

   This is the classic priority inversion problem. How are you starting your
   dnetc's?
 
  They are starting at boot time from the script that the port installs
  into /usr/local/etc/rc.d
 
 Make sure you are NOT nice(1)ing dnetc OR xmms.  nice -20 or idprio'ing
 dnetc will cause an instant lockup.

I'm not nicing the processes manually at all.  The script gives dnetc 
a nice value of 20.

 
 What happens if you run only one dnetc?

Hmm, evidentally you didn't see or don't remember my original post.  I 
can only reproduce this lockup ONE way.  I need to have 2 dnetc's 
running, and one xmms.  I can't reproduce it using setiathome instead 
of dnetc, or mpg123 instead of xmms.  

I guess I'm pretty lucky, as I don't NEED two dnetc's running, so the 
workaround is simple and painless.  I was just hoping to get some 
light shed on the situation.

  I just committed a fix.  It looks like Alexey missed a file when he
backed out the EUC - eucJP rename.  This fix allowed me to complete
the installworld.  I will look over his original commit to make sure
nothing else was missed.  Thanks for spotting this.

Re: 4.5-PRERELEASE: VIA chases again...

2002-01-08 Thread Peter Hessler

I had similar symptoms on a laptop.  It was running Windows 95, but I 
think it still applies.   Format and re-install fixed it for 2-3 
months, then bad sectors left and right.  Turns out the hard drive 
was failing.  (overheating in this example)



On Tue, Jan 08, 2002 at 12:13:20PM -, Lawrence Farr stood up and spoke:

  Moved the install back to another disk (I ran the IBM low level
  disk
  tools on the disk first, and it passed). Within an hour I had a panic.
  It was a corrupt directory error, but it rebooted before I had chance to
  write
  down the error. I newfs'd it last night, and left it run with no
  problems,
  and it's buildingworld again now.

So a simple newfs and restore operation solved your problem? For sure I'll
try the same here now.

Now that I think about it, the machine also tended to run rock-solid ever
since I put it together in April 2001. The problems only started to occur
when I changed the HD in December. WHile the new disk seems to be ok
according to Western Digital's WDDIAG, I guess newfs'ing it and restoring
the data to it surely cannot hurt...

Nils
