 I've got a problem with nfs.
 
 There are 2 servers. A and B.
 
 On server A I export one dir and start nfsd, portmap, mountd.
 On server B in mount A's exported dir.
 I begin to copy approxymately 40Mb up to A from B.
 At 30Mb the copy brokens and everything freeze on server B.
 B replyes to ping but nothing else.
 
 I waited 8 hours but nothing happened. I had to ask a restart for server B.
 
 For the most part it always happens. But why?
 Server A, B is OpenBSD 3.6 but I tried with 3.6-3.5 and the way around.
 They always freeze.
 
 I feel so uneasy..:/
 
 The mount option was:
 
 serverA:/dir/ /mnt/nfsnfs rw  0 0
 
 How can I avoid the feeze? I want to use nfs, to omit scp ( daily mail
 backups, sys backups and so on )

Re: Problem with NFS, everything freeze

2005-07-27 Thread Steven Manos
hey, yep, i made the same mistake first up too...

from the pf users guide

One reason not to scrub on an interface is if one is passing NFS through
PF. Some non-OpenBSD platforms send (and expect) strange packets --
fragmented packets with the do not fragment bit set, which are
(properly) rejected by scrub. This can be resolved by use of the no-df
option. Another reason is some multi-player games have connection
problems passing through PF with scrub enabled. Other than these
somewhat unusual cases, scrubbing all packets is highly recommended
practice.

 On server A there I use:
 
 scrub in all
 
 but not more special rules.
 
 On server B I didn't use scrub, only some pass in rulez for ssh/smtp

Re: sgi 02 R5K irix 6.3 4.3 unsuccessful installation

2005-07-19 Thread Steven Manos
i was under the impression that the only way to install the 3.7 release
of OpenBSD/mips was via tftp / netboot. this is the only installation
method mentioned in the install doc. it worked fine for me.

 Hello List,
 I could not find a specific mailing list for sgi or mips, hopefully someone 
 can assist me with trying to install OpenBSD on an O2.
 
 I have tried several ftp sites to burn the snapshot image of sgi but when I 
 use Roxio CD Creator it tells me invalid image even though the image is 
 cd37.iso. Any help on this would be appreciated.
 
 Also unable to to boot -f dksc(0,4,8)3.7/sgi/bsd.rd that I burned from the 
 3.7/sgi ftp folder. Error message is invalid header and/or unrecognized 
 file format.
 
 Any help on this would be much appreciated.
 
 Thank you,

Re: Using crontab to end a process

2005-07-18 Thread Steven Manos
something like...

kill `ps aux | grep mplayer | head -n 1 | awk {'print $2'}`

 If this has been covered before please let me know how to track this

 I would like to schedule mplayer to record a radio station's online feed 
 but can't figure out how to stop process.  In Linux I was able to use 
 killall mplayer.  But that doesn't appear to be an option under OpenBSD. 
  What do I need to do?

Re: SGI hardware options for OpenBSD 3.7

2005-05-29 Thread Steven Manos
   What type of SGI hardware is supported by OpenBSD
 3.7?

http://www.openbsd.org/sgi.html#hardware

   Also, is anyone in the list currently using SGI
 hardware
 with OpenBSD? I'd like to hear about their experience.

i am running an O2 with 96MB ram, R5K cpu, 2GB scsi disk with an
extra PCI ether express card as a cable router..  (on a serial console)
running quite nicely so far..



Re: OpenBSD cd37.iso question

2005-05-25 Thread Steven Manos
Setup a dhcp/bootp server along with tftpd on an exiting openbsd / linux
box, put bsd.rd on there and boot of that over the network using
boop()/bsd (as suggested in the INSTALL.sgi document). This worked fine
for me.

p.s. you'll need a serial console of sorts as that's the only way
sgi/obsd will run at the moment.

 $ file OpenBSD/3.7/sgi/cd37.iso
 OpenBSD/3.7/sgi/cd37.iso: SGI disk label (volume header)
 
 How do I burn it?  If I do burn it, will my O2 workstation boot from it 
 so I can FTP install?
 
 Thanks,
