Maybe tar doesn't use the -b option when listing the content? (-t)


Could you please send me details of the problem
you're having?


Ok, here a small setup.

I create a random file with roughly size of 5MB:
$ dd if=/dev/random of=archive.dmp bs=1024 count=5120
5120+0 records in
5120+0 records out
5242880 bytes transferred in 0.174116 secs (30111397 bytes/sec)

Then a tar the file (with or without blocksize set) to tape:
$ sudo tar -cf /dev/sa0 archive.dmp
$

After that I try to read/list the tar from tape with tar -t:
$ sudo mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
$ sudo tar -tf /dev/sa0
archive.dmp
tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
$

I get strait away the "Unrecognized archive" message.

But when I extract the archive from tape, it works perfectly:
$ sudo tar -xvf /dev/sa0
x archive.dmp
$

I have tested this with libarchive and tar from RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_2.
No problems with libarchive and tar from RELENG_6_1.

If you need more (debug) info, let me know

Hmmm...  What can you tell us about your tape
drive (driver being used?).

Relevant lines from dmesg might be helpful.

Hello,
I'm trying to install 7-CURRENT on my desktop, locally instead of

almost always panics on boot with my motherboard (ASUS P5N-SLI E), due
to some sort of interrupt assignment / probing issues.

Observations:
1. 7-CURRENT (built) never properly detects the interrupts on the
system.
2. 7-CURRENT (May ISO snapshot) doesn't properly detect my USB
keyboard, but boots and runs sysinstall.
3. 6.2 RELEASE panics if I don't boot FreeBSD up into "safe mode",
due to an issue with the ohci driver (I think the error message had
something to deal with device adding / enumeration and not being able
to find a memory / interrupt address).

First off, if I could get some of the command line arguments to
pass to the kernel to emulate safe-mode, that would be much
appreciated. Second off, if anybody has any ideas on how to debug this
issue, I'll go off and try to determine what the cause is. If it's
anything like it was before (clean out /usr/obj, rebuild), I'll be ok.
Otherwise, I'll have to purchase more parts and build another
dedicated FreeBSD system :(..

Sorry for cross-posting so much, but this information is relevant to all
of the mailing lists included.

Ok I "solved" my problem, to a certain extent.

Basically the ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard (nVidia chipset) isn't bootable
with FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE without going into SAFE MODE (panics after
ohci_add_done looking for a non-existent memory address, if the USB
controller is enabled in the BIOS with "Legacy Mode", i.e. USB Keyboard
compatible), and isn't compatible with FreeBSD 7 at all (kernel can't
map IRQs properly on up-to-date CURRENT and panics in kernel mode during
boot).

Strangely enough the 7-CURRENT snapshot ISOs work, but then again it
doesn't setup the OHCI and USB keyboard stuff properly, and I can't get
any sort of input from my keyboard, obviously.

The ASUS P5B-DLX motherboard (Intel chipset) is compatible with FreeBSD
6.2 and 7 though, without any hacks.

Maybe someone should update some documentation on the release notes page
for supported hardware?

Thanks,
-Garrett

Greetings,

I've been experiencing a similar problem.  I'm installing from a 6.2 Release CD to an 
Abit fp-in9 sli board (nvidia nforce mcp51 disk controller and nvidia nforce mcp13 
network adapter), 2 gig ddr2 ram, sata 300 disk.  The install goes without problems but 
after rebooting, the onboard nic is not active.  "nve0: failed to start NVIDIA 
Hardware interface".  I add an fxp card, at this point 6.2 release is installed and 
functional and the system boots up normally.  I can cvsup ports, install ports and even 
upgrade xorg with no problems.  Although the xorg meta port (x11-drivers) caused me a 
little grief.  I can also compile a generic or custom kernel and all is ok.

My problem begins when I cvsup to releng_6 and compile a new kernel.  My most recent cvsup 
is from yesterday 6-4-2007 although I've been fussing with this board since the middle of 
May.   After make buildworld and make kernel (GENERIC or custom kernel) I reboot and end up 
at the "mountroot>" prompt where GEOM tells me that the only device available 
to boot from is fd0.  But, if I reboot and select Safe Mode the machine comes up without 
problems and I can finish the steps to building the new kernel.  From then on with each 
reboot I must select Safe Mode for the machine to come up.  I get the same results whether 
my disk drive is a single IDE or a single SATA-300.

It would be nice to get things working with this board.  This is my first 
nvidia chipset board but it looks as though I'll be looking for one with the 
trusty Intel chipset.


Ed


The ASUS P5B DLX MB (Intel chipset) is a lot more compatible with FreeBSD, but 
I'm running into more issues with USB and PnP on CURRENT, so I'd be wary before 
making another MB purchase anytime soon, and avoid LGA775 chipset ASUS MBs for 
the time being until stuff stabilizes..

Then again I'm also running amd64, on CURRENT, so your experiences on STABLE 
will no likely be different.

This is an orthogonal issue.  Again, if you read the URL I gave
(http://www.freebsd.org/ports/) it explains that older releases on a
stable branch (whether 5.x, 6.x or soon to be 7.x) are not supported,
although they may continue to work and we will accept patches from the
user community to keep them working when they are accidentally broken
by a change.

I can't help but get the impression that you're spoiling for a fight
here, so let me ask you to take step 1, which is relax a little.

You are focusing on released version numbers when you ask about ports
support, and we generally focus on release branches. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html
for more information about that. We will be supporting ports for
RELENG_5 and _6, and RELENG_7 after it's created from what is now HEAD.

Where I think the confusion is coming in is in regards to support for
a specific version number that is older than the latest version in
that branch. For example, support for 6.1 which is an older release on
the RELENG_6 branch. We do our best to provide ports support for older
versions on currently supported branches, but it's not always possible
to do so. You can search the archives of the ports list for
information on why just supporting 3 active branches (which will be 4
after RELENG_7 is branched) for over 16,000 ports is a pretty massive
undertaking.

I hope this makes the situation more clear.

Doug

This is what I had always thought until I was told otherwise recently
thanks.  Not spoiling for a fight just trying to understand the
situation because it was dissapointing to be told last week that the
reason for a ommision in UPDATING was because 6.1 was not the latest
release.  For this reason I wont dig up the quote I am just happy that
6.3 will be supported.

to an Abit fp-in9 sli board (nvidia nforce mcp51 disk controller and nvidia 
nforce mcp13 network adapter), 2 gig ddr2 ram, sata 300 disk.  The install goes 
without problems but after rebooting, the onboard nic is not active.  "nve0: 
failed to start NVIDIA Hardware interface".  I add an fxp card, at this point 
6.2 release is installed and functional and the system boots up normally.  I 
can cvsup ports, install ports and even upgrade xorg with no problems.  
Although the xorg meta port (x11-drivers) caused me a little grief.  I can also 
compile a generic or custom kernel and all is ok.

My problem begins when I cvsup to releng_6 and compile a new kernel.  My most 
recent cvsup is from yesterday 6-4-2007 although I've been fussing with this 
board since the middle of May.   After make buildworld and make kernel (GENERIC 
or custom kernel) I reboot and end up at the "mountroot>" prompt where GEOM 
tells me that the only device available to boot from is fd0.  But, if I reboot 
and select Safe Mode the machine comes up without problems and I can finish the 
steps to building the new kernel.  From then on with each reboot I must select 
Safe Mode for the machine to come up.  I get the same results whether my disk 
drive is a single IDE or a single SATA-300.

It would be nice to get things working with this board.  This is my first 
nvidia chipset board but it looks as though I'll be looking for one with the 
trusty Intel chipset.


Ed

was not updated with error or anything similar.

If you follow the procedure in the Handbook, then there is
no risk at all.  It involves preparing one side of the
mirror on the second (unused) device first, then attaching
the first device to the mirror.

gmirror on a disk with data already on it

2007-06-05 Thread UBM

Hiho! :-)

The gmirror man page says that if gmirror is used on a disk, the last
sector of that disk is overwritten with the metadata gmirror uses.

So what I would like to know is, how risky is it to mirror a disk which
already has data on it?

Is there a chance that I might render my system unbootable?

Is there any way to find out what data that last sector holds?

Thanks in advance! :-)

Bye
Marc

Maybe so, I feed mine through dd all the time so I never noticed it :)

Can you please file a PR about the issue? (or take it up with Tim whom I 
have CCd)

Hello, I am Jeffery Stone, an Artist with LemonStreet Gallery.

on Art and Craft originating mainly from Asia. Our productsare diverse and
of the highest quality, depicting 'comfort' and'real affluence'.

important cultural assets,we are proud of our products and so we'd like to
show them to the rest of the world. Thus, we are currently expanding our
market base beyond Europe, into North america, USA and Africa.

WHY WE NEED YOU.
No doubt,doing business across borders has never been an easy task.We are
currently searching for a  reliable representatives who can help us
establish a medium of getting to our various customers in their regions
(North America  & United States). The time frame it takes to have their
payment checks sent to us and processed is
rather long. This has caused a setback in our sales.

The representatives we sought after will serve as our payment
officers/contact persons in these regions, but most especially we are on
HIGH demand right now for representatives in the USA. Their sole
responsibility will be to receive and process payment checks on our behalf.
We believe this will go a long way in bridging the gap
between us (the sellers) and our customers(the buyers).

At this point,we cannot overemphasize the fact that only honest, reliable
and competent person(s) is/are needed by us.We will be glad to welcome you
on board if you fit in and have an interest to work for us.

package for our new team of sales representatives. We offer a 10% commission

hassles as this is a work at home opportunity and would'nt in any way
interfere with your present job or status. This offer is irrespective of
your qualification or present field of work. Setting you up and registering
you with our company remains our responsibility.

Let us know your thoughts. If interested do send promptly by email(

panic "sbdrop" after "ICMP6, packet too big"

2007-06-05 Thread Frank Behrens
May I bring your attention to a reproducible panic on RELENG_6, as described in 
kern/113359 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113359).

The reason for this mail is, that at present I have still the core file and can 
provide further 
information if desired. I can test patches for RELENG_6.

Regards,
   Frank
