Re: 80 Mb / enough for 7.x? OK to delete /stand/ and /modules/ ?

It has 80 Mb total in the root partition, /home/, /var/, /usr/, and /tmp/ on other partitions, and NFS mounts /usr/src, /usr/obj, and /usr/ports from a slightly newer/faster box. I've seen http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html and http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stablem=121278826119286w=2 which seem to suggest that even with INSTALL_NODEBUG during buildkernel, 7 might not fit in an 80 Mb /. Must I partition a new disk to give more space to /, or can I find more space by deleting /stand/, /modules/, and possibly /rescue/ to shoehorn a custom 7.x kernel in the available space? TIA It should fit, though you may have issues with kernel.old pushing you over the limit. -- Anish Mistry signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I would agree that NFS is very fragile in RELENG_6. So far fingers crossed I've not run into an NFS server deadlock you described. Are you sure these are NFS problems and not ethernet driver problems?

I have googled researched and read dozens and dozens of nfs bug reports where most of them seem to be a problem caused by nfs not disconnecting properly leaving itself in a bad state, the fix is usually to reboot. I am having to reboot weekly more often then my windows desktop pc, everyone else having no problems with the nfs on their linux servers having no problems and its hardly inspiring that the stable freebsd is not stable. All these problems on google didnt get fixed no dev attention etc. So far I have not got my local bsd box up and running yet due to no keyboard still need parts for it.

Symbolic Links in /dev of a jail
Previously posted to -questions: In my quest to get asterisk+iaxmodem+hylafax working together in a jail I've run into one final roadblock. I can't seem to figure out how to create a symbolic link (ln -s doesn't work) in /dev in the jail environment while in the jailed environment. When trying to create a link with ln I receive: ln -s somedev targetdev ln: targetdev: Operation not permitted Adding a link entry to devfs.conf in the jail fails too since it receives the same error. I can create a link in the jailed /dev from the host environment, so there seems to be some restriction on creating links in /dev while in the jail. The reason I need to be able to do this is that iaxmodem needs to create a /dev/ttyIAX device to point to the correct ttyp* device when it starts in the jail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Right, I'm not trying to access anything outside of the jail. I've already exposed all of the required device nodes to the jail and it all works if I start iaxmodem and manually create the symlink from the host environment. The resulting link when viewed from the jail still points to the jailed environment, which is fine since that's what I want. Good luck on getting asterisk and friends to work, that was too hard, so a friend gave me a pabx on a linux machine...I'd be interested if you're successful on Freebsd. My setup works perfect outside of a jailed environment. Asterisk works fine within the jail (eg. voicemail, menus, etc.), just not iaxmodem+hylafax due to the symlink issue. -- Anish Mistry pgp2KjNXmDaA8.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Force ugen device for printer?
On Thursday 29 June 2006 16:01, Christian Schade wrote: Hi all, how can I force my system (6.1-STABLE) to create a ugen device for my printer? My printer, a HP PSC 1610 is recognized as a ulpt device and the cardreader on it as umass. Printing on the ultp device works fine, but I cannot use the scanner function with sane. I tried the hplip driver (/usr/ports/printing/hplip) to solve the scanning problem, but it only works on ugen devices. When I kldunload the ulpt and umass modules from my kernel before connecting the printer, it creates a ugen device and everything works fine. I'm working on enhancing the relability of the hpiod interaction, but I am running low on time right now. My problem is, that I need at least the umass module for USB sticks and my external harddisk. So my question is, can I configure devd or something else to not create a ulpt and umass device for my printer but create a ugen device (maybe by matching the vendor ID of the printer)? So if you don't kldload ulpt, but kldload umass you don't get some ugen endpoints and a umass device? Would you provide a the output of usbdevs -vvv.

Re: FreeBSD Security Survey
On Monday 22 May 2006 01:44, Scott Long wrote: Brent Casavant wrote: On Sun, 21 May 2006, Colin Percival wrote: In order to better understand which FreeBSD versions are in use, how people are (or aren't) keeping them updated, and why it seems so many systems are not being updated, I have put together a short survey of 12 questions. I applaud this survey, however question 9 missed an important point, at least to me. I was torn between answering less than once a month and I never update. While I find ports to be the single most useful feature of the FreeBSD experience, and can't thank contributors enough for the efforts, I on the other hand find updating my installed ports collection (for security reasons or otherwise) to be quite painful. I typically use portupgrade to perform this task. On several occasions I got bit by doing a portupgrade which wasn't able to completely upgrade all dependencies (particularly when X, GUI's, and desktops are in the mix -- though I always follow the special Gnome upgrade methods when appropriate). I can't rule out some form of pilot error, but the end result was pain. After several instances of unsatisfactory portupgrades (mostly in the 5.2 through early 5.4 timeframe), I adopted the practice of either not upgrading ports at all for the life of a particular installation on a machine (typically about one year), or when necessary by removing *all* ports from the machine, cvsup'ing, and reinstalling. This has served me quite well, particularly considering the minimal threat profile these particularly systems face. So, in short, that's why *I* rarely update ports for security reasons. There are steps that could be taken at the port maintenance level that would work well for my particular case, however that's beyond the scope of the survey. Thanks for taking the time put the survey together, I certainly hope it proves useful. Thank you, Brent Casavant I share this frustration with you. I was once told that the pain in upgrading is due largely to a somewhat invisible difference between installing a pre-compiled package, and building+installing a port. In theory, if you stick to one method or the other, things will stay mostly consistent. But if you mix them, and particularly if you update the ports tree in the process, the end result is a bit more undefined. One thing that I wish for is that the ports tree would branch for releases, and that those branches would get security updates. I know that this would involve an exponentially larger amount of effort from the ports team, and I don't fault them for not doing it. Still, it would be nice to have. More ports seem to be separating out their different version into portname20, portname, portname21, etc. This takes out quite a bit of the updating woes without causing too much overhead for the maintainers. Since maintaining a security branch for releases would require too much overhead it might be nice to have mechanism to track the release version of the installed software. eg. For 6.0 release I installed lang/lua which is lua-5.0 Then when I cvsup next time the maintainer has created a lang/lua50 port for the old version and lang/lua is now version 5.1. It would be nice to have a mapping that I can say Stay with version 5.0.x and when I do a portupgrade it will see that lua-5.0 is installed so use lang/lua50 instead of lang/lua. As a port maintainer, I could probably live with that extra mapping. Though currently I try to keep a few jails configured on my desktop that match customer's configurations and perform updates in the jail first. Just to see it there will be any hiccups before actually performing the updates on a customer's system. I only have 3 basic configurations that I use so it's not that big of a deal for me. My biggest grip about updating the base system is the mergemaster step, but once mergemaster -U is cut into a release it should fix that annoyance. -- Anish Mistry pgpSYqKguxyBf.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some clones may be recognized as a Pentium or even a 486 and not be able to boot without those options. If it works, great! The operating system will be able to better use higher-end CPU features for MMU, task switching, timebase, and even device operations... ** From /sys/i386/conf/NOTES: ** # You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on); # deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make # parts of the system run faster. ** From npx(4) (also see /sys/i386/i386/support.s): ** The NPX registers are normally used to optimize copying and zeroing when all of the following conditions are satisfied: 1. cpu I586_CPU is an option ... Then copying and zeroing using the NPX registers is normally 30-100% faster. ** All is rosy until you see that I586_CPU looks like a loss for blowfish (if you have an i686 CPU): /sys/crypto/blowfish/arch/i386/bf_enc.S As I use AES, I guess I586_CPU is a win for me. Despite this, I think it makes the most sense for I686_CPU to enable the optimized bcopy if it really is a win for i686 CPUs. -Jonathan I agree, but frankly I've been loath to touch it out of pure fear of the correctness geeks. I know that if I go near it, someone will point out that it's not 100% correct in all cases of some buggy i686 derivative that hasn't been sold since 1998, and therefore it's better to just leave it alone and satify that .1% of the problem. Or, the alternate scenario is that people will moan that we should be using SSE instead, and that any change that doesn't involve SSE is wrong and a waste of time. Then a meta-argument will break out over SSE vs SSE2 vs 3DNow, and how again some buggy derivative chip can't use it and can't be detected or worked around. I make my peace by just remembering to leave CPU_I586 enabled on all of my local systems =-) Scott I too fall into the I had no idea! camp. This seems a bit silly just to satisfy a very small and unknown group of broken chips. Couldn't the optimized bcopy be enabled with I686_CPU, and also an option like NO_OPTIMIZED_BCOPY and an UPDATING entry that would tell those .1% to make that change so their system doesn't break? Would this be an acceptable solution? -- Anish Mistry pgpfqJUmZ0fRK.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't know weather this is the normal behaviour, anyway if it

external devices (usb, firewire, ir) are attached?
It is the normal behaviour, /etc/rc.d/devfs is a little script that
parse /etc/devfs.conf and according to it and what it find in /dev
it set permissions or create links, it's purely static.
One possibility is to call /etc/rc.d/devfs when a device is
attached in /etc/devd.conf (take a look at devd(8) and
devd.conf(5))
For exemple, I have something like this in my /etc/devd.conf :
attach 100 {
device-name umass[0-9]+ ;
action /bin/sleep 3; /etc/rc.d/devfs restart ;
};
attach : what kind of event
100 : as usual, for ordering rules
device-name ... : the device concerned
action ... : what to do, here I use sleep, because action is
called when the attach event arrives, not when the device node is
created.
There maybe a better way, but it works© ;)
You should be using /etc/devfs.rules
Search the mailing list for examples and setup.

There is one kind of thing I cannot do in /etc/devfs.rules,
creating links. So I am still doing this in /etc/devfs.conf
(links don't cause race conditions anyway, I hope).
One would think that link ttyU0 pilot would simply be
translated to ln -s /dev/ttyU0 /dev/pilot which would simply
create the link and it would work as soon as a ttyU0 device (my
PDA) is there. But instead it checks weather the device exists
(of course it doesn't since I didn't press the hotsync button
during boot) and omits the creation of the link.
Note that while for you it might be sufficient to have a hard coded
link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyU0, that is not necessarily the
case if you have multiple USB serial gadgets.
The way I handled it is by using an entry in /etc/usbd.conf:
#
# Fixup permissions for Palm Handheld ucom devices
# (set here and not in devfs.rules since we only want to apply
# the change to Palm com ports, not all USB com ports)
device PalmHandheld
devname ucom[0-9]+
vendor 0x0830
attach /bin/chmod 0666 /dev/${DEVNAME} ; /bin/ln -s
/dev/${DEVNAME} /dev/pilot
detach rm -f /dev/pilot
Roland already mentioned this point, but usbd and usbd.conf have been
depreciated since 5.x. They WILL be going away in CURRENT (usbd.conf
no longer has any entries) once Ian gets a chance to review and
commit the patches. If you are in need of the release field for usb

Re: SMP support maturity? AMD64x2 or FX-57?

To post my opinion to the last part of the question: I'm also deploying new servers and I'll take RELENG_6 since there are so many improovements (nullfs in jails etc.) and 6-current has been pretty stable for me on my Hoi, what's changed wrt jails? And nullfs? I haven't been following the news as closely as I perhaps should, but I feel that the jail functionality doesn't get half as much attention in release notes as it should... Porting my jail-related tools to 5.x from 4.x was painful, but enjoyable when I was done. How does 6.x look? I'm not the developer guy so I can't tell you anything authoritative but I know that there has been an awful perfomance degradation when mounting nullfs-filesystems into a jail under RELENG_5, espacially noticable with apache! I just know that Jeff Roberson committed incredible lots of vm/vfs changes, perhaps this also solved the md performance problem, at least the nullfs problem was solved!

Hi,
I recently purchased a cheap USB mouse/keyboard combination. If I
plug it in /dev/ums0 is created, I also can run moused -p
/dev/ums0, but the mouse will not move.
I upgraded to a recent -STABLE, so ums.c is version 1.70.2.2.
I compiled a kernel with options USB_DEBUG and set
hw.usb.ums.debug=.
With cat /dev/ums0 /dev/null I can see the Debug Info on the
console: ums_intr: sc=0x19d5c00 status=13
ums_intr: data = 01 00 00 00 00 01
ums_intr: status=13
It seems that this mouse sends 1 extra byte before the usual data,
just like the MS Wireless Intellimouse 2.0, because data is like:
01 BUTTON X Y Z 01
But seems like ums_intr() returns on line 467, so I tried this:

It sort of works. If I run moused -p /dev/ums0 I can actually use
that mouse, BUT it moves jerky, I have to move the wheel two
positions to get one and when a button is pressed when the mouse
stands still it is not recognized. The mouse _must_ move for the
button to get noticed.
Has anyone an idea what to try next?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is the code setting the UMS_T flags? If not, then force it in after
the detection routine section:
/* The Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse 2.0 reports it's wheel
* using 0x0048 (i've called it HUG_TWHEEL) and seems to expect
* you to know that the byte after the wheel is the tilt axis.
* There are no other HID axis descriptors other than X,Y and
* TWHEEL */
if (hid_locate(desc, size, HID_USAGE2(HUP_GENERIC_DESKTOP,
HUG_TWHEEL),
hid_input, sc-sc_loc_t, flags)) {
sc-sc_loc_t.pos = sc-sc_loc_t.pos + 8;
sc-flags |= UMS_T;
}
sc-flags |= UMS_T; /* --- Add this to force MS Intellimouse Mode */
If that make is work we'll have to figure out a way to auto detect
this since it uses the same byte order, but doesn't have the tilt
wheel to facilitate detection.
