Changes to tar (was Re: strange SSH / tar problem)

Actually, someone pointed out this is a tar problem.   I forgot that 
RELENG_4 has a whole new version of tar. tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 vs 1.11.2.

Hi,

I'm running -stable and I encounter the following problem :

# make buildworld
...

cd: can't cd to /disk2/freebsd/stable/src/sys/boot/buildworld
*** Error code 2

let's try :
# cd /sys/boot/buildworld

buildworld ficl i386

well, src/sys/boot/Makefile only have SUBDIR+= w/o any SUBDIR=
before, this is a problem when SUBDIR exists in the environment.
however, I'm surprising I don't have this problem before and I'll
investigate where this occur since I don't set SUBDIR anywhere ?

in the mean time, could you fix that or do you prefer I submit a PR ?

Re: Cannot initialize disklabel

2002-07-27 Thread Andrea Monaldi

My MB is modern (PIII 450MHz - GigaByte Intel 440BX of
one and a half year ago).

The disk works fine on many linuxes (Mandrake 8.1, Red
Hat 7.3 and Debian 2.2r5) and on Windows 2000 on the
same system.

Another 10GB Maxtor disk with 19841 cylinders has the
core FreeBSD system on it and it works well.

The problem relies into the BSD label for the main
disk (i.e. /dev/ad2)

I've edited this label from linux fdisk and set it up
correctly.

Then I reboot FreeBSD and the command disklabel
/dev/ad2 shows 4092 cylinders instead if 39693.

If I execute disklabel -r /dev/ad2 the cylinder count
is ok, meaning the disk copy of the label is correct.

The kernel in-core BSD label is always incorrect and,
as FreeBSD fdisk relies on it I can't create a
partition greather tha 2 GB  (4092 cylinders)

Worse, if I set up the partition from linux fdisk and
the correct BSD label, when I boot FreeBSD the in-core
BSD label is still 4092 cylinders and the ata driver
complaints about having a partition too big.

If try to edit the BSD label the ata driver block the
writes.

I don't understand why from BSD there's no way to
force a new BSD label.

Bye

Gino

Re: Changes to tar (was Re: strange SSH / tar problem)

2002-07-27 Thread Andy Sparrow


Hey Mike,

Just as a POI, I think you'd get better results with 'rsync' for this 
application (from the people that brought you Samba, readily available via 
ports) - it'll do intelligent copying, when archiving can maintain a directory 
of the previous versions for files that change, uses SSH as the transport, can 
be bandwith-limited and will compress the stream in-line.

Course, it'd still be good to fix any tar issues :)

Cheers,

It sounds like your drive has the Capacity Limitation Jumper set. 
All the  2GB Maxtors I've seen have a jumper which reduces the
reported capacity to 4092 cylinders so old BIOSes can detect them.

Look up your drive at http://www.maxtor.com/, download the jumper
settings, and make sure that that jumper is not set on your drive.

David,

If I had this it should not work well under Linux and
W2K too, isn't it?

Anyway it's not this problem. It works bad ONLY in
FreeBSD.

BTW this HD was taken from an Apple G4 and has a
little Apple on the top of the drive. Does it mean it
has a different firmware? Why Linux and W2K works
perfectly with it? Does it make any sense if this
drive has been partitioned by OS X previously, doing
something strange, and preventing any usage with

ATA CDROM Problems 4.6 (and 4.6.1)

2002-07-27 Thread Dan O'Brien

I just upgraded from 4.5 (off the CD Release) to 4.6 (off the CD
release) and yadda yadda yadda ATA CDROM fails per the Errata (big read
timeout, etc).  


The workaround DOESN'T

/home/dob: cat /boot/loader.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
userconfig_script_load=YES
hw.ata.ata_dma=1
hw.ata.atapi_dma=1

/var/log: gzcat messages.0.gz | grep -i timeout

resetting
Jul 21 19:30:26 yorky /kernel: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout -

I even tried a 4.6.1 GENERIC kernel a friend prepared and it fails.  

/var/log: gzcat messages.0.gz | grep -i timeout|grep GENERIC
Jul 25 21:48:43 yorky /kernel.GENERIC: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout -
resetting
Jul 25 21:49:13 yorky /kernel.GENERIC: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout -
resetting

I'm now stuck without a way to upgrade to 4.7 (off the CD's) (not
really, I kept the old 4.5 kernel and if I boot.old/kernel.old, the
CDROM works perfectly).

I always do a source buildworld, installworld, mergemaster,
build/install kernel yadda yadda.

I'm willing to play Guinea Pig for any and all fixes.

I've got a generic 50X CDROM:

dmesg | grep acd
acd0: CDROM CD-ROM 50X at ata1-master PIO4

It mounts, I can do ls, but cat ports.tgz  /dev/null results in the
big read stuff.  I've had one panic.

Now what?  I've seen others in the same boat.

Thanks in advance,

Maybe; maybe not.  Linux, Windows 2000 and FreeBSD all have very
different IDE drivers.

 Anyway it's not this problem. 

Have you actually checked the jumper?  Make sure.

Perhaps I'm wrong - maybe it is something else - but the 4092
cylinders is just too much of a co-incidence to rule it out.

 It works bad ONLY in FreeBSD.

 another BSD OS?

The cylinder/head/sector numbers in the dmesg output, for example,

ad0: 16479MB Maxtor 91728D8 [33483/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
   ^^^
are read from the drive without reference to the partition table.  So
if you're seeing 4092 cylinders there, I doubt OS X is the problem.

this is a long standing known problem in gzip 1.2 which has been
solved in gzip 1.3. I'm currently making a port of gzip 1.3.3, so,
you can use --use-compress-program=/usr/local/bin/gzip until
gzip 1.3.3 is imported into -current or -stable.

see the following URLs for details :

http://www.gzip.org/#faq8
and
http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_node/tar_132.html#SEC127
(see details on the -b options)
or
info tar.info 'Blocking Factor'
(see details on the -b options)
