Automounting USB sticks - questions
I got this working quite easily with the amd daemon. Thanks to Alfred for your excellent work on this. I wonder what the status of autofs is? It would be great if we could ship FreeBSD out of the box, ready to automount removable media. This would be useful to all users, but particularly for novices and people who just wanna get on and use the beast. Since the move to /media for a place to put removable mount points I'd imagine all of this gets a lot easier. However I can understand there are real issues with this: * /etc/amd.conf. We don't ship one in /etc by default. Maybe we should? * /etc/amd.map. We ship one which contains defaults and nothing more. Perhaps commented out examples? * There doesn't appear to be a tool to tell amd about new maps at runtime. Is there such a beast? UPDATE: I just read code, and it seems SIGHUP can be sent, but this isn't in the man page and I haven't tried it. * devd doesn't have any hooks into GEOM, which makes it difficult to generate mount lines without retroactively parsing dmesg output. devd as I understand it sits on top of NEWBUS. Is there any way I can get a list of the disk devices, from userland, in the default install, which correspond to a given NEWBUS device? * I wonder if there's any way we can get a notification about media being inserted into a CDROM drive, without polling it? I had a brief discussion online with phk@ about doing dynamic mounts, and it seems that there are still problems dealing with blowing away mounts when the device goes away. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi again, I guess I should have spent more time troubleshooting. Sound is working now. I spent the last 30 minutes testing it with 6.3-RELEASE and 7.0-RELEASE livecds on two different machines.

I believe NCQ is supported, assuming that your controller is operating in AHCI mode and your disk supports NCQ. This mainly applies to Intel ICHx controllers, but there are others which support it as well. There's also NCQ support in non-AHCI drivers like hptmv(4), rr232x(4), hptrr(4), and mpt(4) with SATA disks. I do see some code that explicitly disables NCQ on some nVidia chipsets, and I believe that's because the NCQ details for the nF4 chipset are unavailable; possibly Linux has them. atacontrol, on the other hand, I believe always spits out - as to whether or not it's enabled. I'd have to go look at the code to be sure, but I'm guessing it just says - no matter what. An example: Feature Support EnableValue Vendor write cacheyes yes read ahead yes yes Native Command Queuing (NCQ) yes - 31/0x1F Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ) no no 31/0x1F SMART yes yes microcode download yes yes security yes no power management yes yes advanced power management no no 0/0x00 automatic acoustic management yes no 254/0xFE128/0x80 Finally, I read a while back that NCQ on SATA does not provide a substantial improvement in overall disk I/O or under heavy load. It's not entirely marketing hype, but the benefits are like 3-4%, with added CPU utilisation. SATA TCQ is a different matter. SCSI uses TCQ, and as we all know, it works beautifully. SATA TCQ has a significantly larger queue depth than SATA NCQ (2^64 vs. 31). -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Some users have reported that using a newer version of this driver (on HEAD) has solved their problems, or at least mitigated them. I believe this has been fixed, based on commits I've seen to the driver. Pyun YongHyeon would be able to confirm/deny this. [20080229] A change in the way that FreeBSD sends TCP options has been reported to cause odd interactions with some cable modem routers. While this issue is still under investigation, a change has been committed to HEAD that returns the option processing to that of FreeBSD 6. So far, this change has shown some promising results. Do you have more details on this? Open PR, or a thread I can read? I'm thinking it might be related to the net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 sysctl, but I'm not sure. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

What's strange about this? i mean for UDMA33 it should be SATA300 do have to upgrade BIOS? Your carets are pointing to the drive firmware revision, which is why I was confused. :-) Yes, it should say either SATA150 or SATA300 (more on that in a moment), but based on your dmesg output, it appears your SATA controller does not have an attached driver, thus is operating generically. Andrey recommended showing pciconf -lv output; please do. Your drive is *probably* operating in SATA150/300 mode, despite UDMA33 being printed, however. Assuming you know your disk can push 33MB/sec, you could try some simple read I/O and use gstat to watch the speed. dd if=/dev/ad4 of=/dev/null bs=1m should suffice. Regarding SATA150 vs. SATA300: your drive has a physical jumper, labelled OPT1 in the below photo, which limits the drive to SATA150 capability. You can remove this jumper and get SATA300. This doesn't explain the UDMA33 issue, though. http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1400p_created=1134597011 Also, please don't remove the mailing list from the CC; others need to know what information you've provided, and future users may find this thread useful. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Re: ATA APM and NCQ support in FreeBSD atacontrol
Jeremy Chadwick wrote: I believe NCQ is supported, assuming that your controller is operating in AHCI mode and your disk supports NCQ. This mainly applies to Intel ICHx controllers, but there are others which support it as well. There's also NCQ support in non-AHCI drivers like hptmv(4), rr232x(4), hptrr(4), and mpt(4) with SATA disks. No. ata(4) driver currently doesn't support/use NCQ. -- WBR, Andrey V.
