Kernal Panics
Hi, ive been getting kernel panics, number 12's for some time, ive had the whole load of hardware changed, the only thing that is the same now is the hard disk drive. We thought this had cured the problem, but I had one the other day. Okay, I thought this was a one off, but I just had another, only this time it is different. Is this possible that it is the hard drive? How can I make a duplicate image of that hard drive to another what tools will copy it. This is the latest panic.

Is Perl Fixed Yet?
Did they ever fix the bugs in the Perl that comes with FreeBSD? In FreeBSD 4.5 for example, setting $0 (the process name) causes a core dump. There are others - ones that I know exist but I can't find. I have an app, Minivend, that crashes after X thousands of hits (every few weeks) on FreeBSD but never crashed in 2 years on Linux. -Lee 11/4/02 10:58:42 PM, Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: What is bsd.port.mk ?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 (11.04.2002 @ 2322 PST): Peter Leftwich said, in 2.7K: Which tar trick are you referring to? Apparently you have chosen not to download an entire ports tree, which is fine, but you could have just done a locate bsd.port.mk on a machine that DOES have a ports tree. I was referring to the trick that saves you from having to ftp in using w3m or lynx and manually saving each of the above, as I had to, above. You mean just checking out a ports tree? That trick works for me 100% of the time. The files in /usr/ports/Mk are what makes the ports tree work. The Makefile that you downloaded there is just a list of options that bsd.port.mk uses to build the ports. You need the bsd.*.mk framework to make your ports work. You can just cvsup the ports-base collection. From the ports-supfile example that came with your installation of FreeBSD: I'm not sure I want my ports to work, just one specific port at a time. Uhm, Peter, trust me. You asked how to make it work, and I told you. You *need* the ports-base collection. It will not work without the ports-base collection. The ports-base collection is required for any port build to work. Build collection required ports-base is any the for work port to. I can't say it many more ways ::) # Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if you use any of the # other individual collections below. ports-base is a mandatory collection # for the ports collection, and your ports may not build correctly if it # is not kept up to date. Read that paragraph. It was taken from the ports-supfile example. If you can't/won't diagnose what's wrong when you try new things, it's best not to invent tricks. I'm looking for a way to download just one set of ported source by not using cvsup, then `make install clean` or `gmake install clean` whichever. You must have the ports-base collection for that to work. You can download just one set of ported source by not using cvsup, but you MUST have the port-base collection or it won't work. And you never need to use gmake when building a port. Let the port decide whether to use GNU make or not. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9x4i5o8KM2ULHQ/0RAj7PAKCnvRS8tJZasVW0HXcihpJXGvObQwCglvAr 0/nX4affhPTGUozvse57YsM= =U2R8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

bridging the right way?
hi list i'm looking for a little advice here. i've got a fbsd server conected to the internet via rl0. there are about 30 workstation in 192.168, fbsd does nat for, those are connected via rl1. now, on rl1, behind nat there's also a win2k server in here which should soon get connected to the internet, too (being accessible from the internet). i don't want to plug the win2k server next to the fbsd box into our isp's router. this way i'd had to set up an extra firewall on the win2k box, instead i'd like all connection to and from the internet with the win server to go through my existing ruleset on the fbsd box, leaving the win server on the inside interface rl1. just assiging one of the official ip's to the win box didn't work, so i was doing some reading and found out that bridging seemed to be the way to go. now i wonder: those how-to's say it's not nescessary to assign an ip to both interfaces, but i definitly still need an ip from the 192.168 subnet on the inside interface. just as the win2k box still needs to stay accessible with it's 192.168 adress. so...is it possible this way, or would it be far smarter to plug a third nic into the fbsd box only for bridging ? thanks for any advice best regards jonas To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Hi, another solution would be to redirect the traffic from the fbsd box to the win2k server. If you want the win2k server to have an external ip of its own you can add an ip alias to your fbsd box and then redirect all traffic to this ip to the win2k server. Thats probably the easiest solution. greets, tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: NFS Performance woes
I recently did some research into NFS performance tuning and came across the suggestion in an article on onlamp.com by Michael Lucas, that 32768 is a good value for the read and write buffers. His suggestion is these flags: tcp,intr,nfsv3,-r=32768,-w=32768 I used these options (I found tcp was mandatory, as we have multiple IPs and UDP was refusing to play nice), also adding dumbtimer to avoid the log messages about server not responding. According to my experience UDP is much preffered for NFS transport protocols. Also try to have the NFSIOD daemon being executed on every machine by putting in the /etc/rc.conf nfs_client_enable=YES nfs_client_flags=-n 10 [u may put more than 10 instances if u suspect that more than 10 simultaneous transactions will happen] Also use the -w=32768,-r=32768 switch only on the machines that have a fast cpu and a good network card [e.g. nestat -w 1, doesnt show errors under heavy load] On all the other machines dont put any w,r values [which will default to 8k blocks] In some machines of mine I have even used blocks of -r=4096,-w=4096 because they were old machines that could not keep up with the traffic and they were complaining about mbufs [they run out of mbufs and after some time they crashed]..(and because they machines were diskless it was unable to change the value of mbufss, after the kernel loading the value is readonly and cannot be changed). Use good networking hardware...scrappy hardware will certainly put you into great trouble. If you use TCP for NFS on a 1GB network you will sure have problems on your machines and they will not be able to keep up. TCP causes a great overhead. UDP doesnt. So bottom line: a) Use UDP b) Run a lot of NFSIOD - the more the better c) Examine what is the best block size for every host idividually! (dont assume that 32k block is good for every host) Hopes it does your job..I was searching for over 3 months when I once dealt with thisRead also from the 'Sun' site the 'Optimizing and Tunning NFS' guide which is a nice PDF document that you can download for free, and has a lot of interesting things similar with FreeBSD!

The best advice is don't bother mounting the disks. Just install the emulators/mtools port, which lets you use DOS-like commands to access the floppy: mdir a: mcopy filename.txt a: etc. This has a number of advantages over actually mounting the floppy: - you don't need root privilege to use mtools - you can eject and swap floppy disks at will, without getting grief from the OS - similarly you won't run into problems trying to write data to a write protected floppy disk. Note that those last two effects are not just annoying but can in some circumstances lead to system crashes or having to reboot the machine to clear the errors. Now, if I haven't scared you off enough, the literal answer to your question is: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt That has to be done as root: you'll need to install sudo or similar to make it possible for ordinary users to do that securely. Always remember to unmount the disk before ejecting it.

Re: XFree86, Anti-aliasing, Truetype, Freetype
a few more specifics here *might* be somewhat helpful. Well, bear with me... if I knew exactly what specific info you needed to solve the problem, I'd probably already know the answer myself. ;) Extra info happily provided as-requested... you mention mozilla, so are you getting not-so-purdy fonts just in mozilla, just in gtk apps, just in openoffice, or all-around? This is a new setup, and until I nail this I've been trying to keep the number of installed apps to a minimum. Currently the only two X apps I've installed are OpenOffice and Mozilla. I do not get ANY anti-aliasing in Mozilla. I DO get AA and Truetype fonts in OO but they look poor. While the same TT font from Windows looks great. I've heard XFree86 TT fonts can looks just as good, so that's what I'm pursuing. If we needed to test something, I could certainly install some other program. are you actually selecting the truetype fonts to be used on said apps? this is relatively important, because while you may be using truetype fonts, anti-aliasing may not actually be working for you. Yes... I have tried choosing one of the TTF fonts that only appeared once I added the Fontpath line in XF86Config which pointed to the TTF folder. I have done this in both OO and Moz. In Moz I can see the font visibly change to a non-AA version of it. In OO it is AA but the quality of the AA job is poor. for instance, to have anti-aliased fonts with gtk12 ports, you need to install and configure gdkxft. Please excuse my ignorance here, but are Moz or OO gtk apps? concerning openoffice, though, it doesn't handle microsoft-based fonts very well, from what i've noticed, even on windows systems. it seems to me that this is a problem with openoffice (at least when dealing with the .doc format voodoo), not your configuration. Well, for what its worth, I have OO on my Windows system as well. I am looking at the exact same text in the exact same font in the same point size on each in OO Writer. On the Windows system, it looks clean and even. On the X system, the letters are thicker in uneven ways.. almost like an artificial bolding job gone bad (no, I don't have bold selected on either). It might be worth getting The Gimp installed so I can do some comparison screenshots and put them online. What's the significance of the fact that TT fonts don't appear when I have the line in XftConfig but not XF86Config like the handbook says I should do? Is this the sign of a problem which is playing a role here? = Scott I. Remick --==-- ICQ: 450152 Save the internet - Use Mozilla: http://home.adelphia.net/~sremick/mozilla/ Voici mon secret.

qmail timeout problem
Hi people, I just setup FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE as web and mail server with qmail, Courier IMAP and POP3. Everything work fine except: When somebody is trying to send email to the server it timeouts more than 60 seconds. The email client is just waiting for something and after this time the email is sent. This is happening just from time to time not always! The qmail is started under tcpserver. I thought this is DNS problem so I put -H -P -R -l0 (el zero) options to tcpserver. For now (last few hours) it seems to be fine but I am not sure. I did noticed that there is no reverse resolv record for this server. Is it possible this to be the problem? Is it necessary qmail to be setup on system with existing reverse lookup record? If so, who is responsible for the reverse lookup - the ISP or my DNS service provider? If the problem is not with the DNS then it is something with the way qmail is working on FreeBSD 4.7... Is there somebody else with similar problem? Any ideas are very welcome!

I have tried choosing one of the TTF fonts that only appeared once I added the Fontpath line in XF86Config which pointed to the TTF folder. I have done this in both OO and Moz. In Moz I can see the font visibly change to a non-AA version of it. In OO it is AA but the quality of the AA job is poor. For all your fonts to appear, you will need to add the directories to XF86Config. I.E. FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF Please excuse my ignorance here, but are Moz or OO gtk apps? I couldn't tell you about OO, but for mozilla (and it's little brother, phoenix), it uses gtk for font handling. once you get all the font paths added to XF86Config, install gdkxft, and as root, you should just need to run 'gdkxft_sysinstall'. there are a few options/modifiers for it, as well, so you might check out it's manpage once it's installed. What's the significance of the fact that TT fonts don't appear when I have the line in XftConfig but not XF86Config like the handbook says I should do? Is this the sign of a problem which is playing a role here? Well, the predominant problem is that for *any* fonts to be useable in x-windows, the fontpath for each must exist in XF86Config. You shouldn't need to edit XftConfig by hand at all, from my experience. Gdkxft creates/edits an XftConfig file for you, anyway, so any changes you've made prior to configuring it, would likely be overwritten. On my current system, i've even got shadowed TTF fonts on my terminals (which looks quite nice, i might add!). Try out the stuff I mentioned, and if it doesn't work, toss my an email and i'll try to get you up and running a bit more. So far, it basically sounds like you've got anti-aliasing for most regular apps working OK, but not gtk apps. Like I said, OO is just kinda wonky with font handling (imo). You might try installing a small port that doesn't use gtk to see if you notice any noticeable changes between the three. - erk To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

mounting smbfs at boot time
Hello, Well here is what i want to ask: I want to mount a smbfs at boot time. Editing /etc/fstab won't do because filesystems are mounted before network initalisation. The noauto option doesn't help (it doesn't mount at boottime, neither on 'mount -a' ; by the way why should anyone enter a filesystem in fstab with the noauto option?!?! doesn't make any sense). Next thing i tried is to make a daemon-like startup script (in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ) that actually doesn't start any daemon, but mounts my partition when called with 'start' parameter and unmounts when called with 'stop' parameter. The problem is i have to call in this script a mount_smbfs command with the -N option (it should not ask for my smb password on boot time). Well with this option mount_smbfs looks in ~/.nsmbrc for a password. Apparently on boot time (when initializing local services) the deamon startup scripta do not run as root (i doubt they run as any user that has a home directory) so there is no way of supplying this .nmbrc file to mount_smbfs. Well for now am i out of ideas. Maybe you have a more simple solution. Thanks anyway for the attention. Razvan __ Do you Yahoo!?

FreeBSD 4.4 is my main box, and I have a Win2K box with an HP930C connected to it, and I can print from my FreeBSD box over to the HP. This *is* encouraging, indeed! This took me a LONG time to get working, and once, after I let portupgrade lose on my machine for a couple days I broke the printing thing for months before I finally decided to try and fix it. I was unable to find any clear documentation on this. Even though I tried to document what I did to fix it, I didn't do a good job on that either. So be warned! I found I had to use smbprint and ASPFILTER. Installing ASPFILTER will install a host of programs. You need them all. Pay careful attention to what type of printer(s) you install in GHOSTSCRIPT. Be sure to select SAMBA printing in ASPFILTER. I had to select something close to the HP890C but it works fine. This is the bit where I once floundered with apsfilter back at FreeBSD 4.4 Stable, and again (even with a new printer!) here I find myself unable to locate *anywhere* at apsfilter.org / ghostscript.org any documentation that suggests that my printer is supported. Although, following a link from ghostscript.org to HP's linux support page, my printer *is* listed there included as a printer supported with the hpijs driver. Is HPIJS an option open to me with apsilter? I understand that you yourself weren't able to find your exact printer for your set-up, so I ask this at this stage, as I've been informed on this list that many HP DJ printers (usually the ones shipped here in teh UK) are simply not workable under unix. For what its worth, I'm willing to try again with apsfilter. Let ASPFILTER adjust your /etc/printcap file. You'll need a .config file in your spool directory (mine is in /var/spool/lpd/lp). It contains the server=, service= and password= variables needed for network access to the printer from the FreeBSD box. naturally you need to set up sharing on your Win2K box that matches this information. I can't remember if I had to edit /usr/local/samba/smbprint or not. But make sure this file exists and jives with the info in your /etc/printcap file. Ditto for your spool directories. Make sure what's in your printcap directory really exists. I also found the logfile(s) handy. The comments in smbprint advises: #smbclient=/usr/pkg/bin/smbclient # Assume that smbclient will be in the same place as smbprint smbclient=`dirname $0`/smbclient In addition to editing smbclient, do I have to move / symlink the finished file to where smbclient is?

Re: NFS Performance woes
Howdy! I have done some simulations with NFS servers - Intel SCB2 (4G RAM) serving files from 500G RAID devices. I created a treed directory structure with 300G of 32k files that approximates our homedirectory structure. I had about 6 diskless front ends (tyan 2518 with 2G) that NFS booted and mounted the homedir and ran multiple scripts that walked through the directory structure reading files and writing them to /dev/null. All machines have 3 intel 100 NICs. One interface is used to mount the root etc. and the other is used to mount homedirs. The NFS server serves root from fxp0 and homedir data from both fxp1 fxp2. The diskless front ends mount root from fxp0 and mount homedir from fxp1. When the simulation was running full out I was serving about 1/3-1/2 data from page cache and 2/3-1/2 from disk. I tried numerous configurations and tuning of network parameters after doing research and discovered... for FreeBSD 4.6.2 1) NFS over UDP outperforms NFS over TCP. I was able to average about 70Mbs over *both* (occasionally they would almost max out ie. 95Mbs) interfaces serving data using UDP mounts with 8K rw. (the default). No matter what I tried with TCP I never got more than half that throughput. 2) The optimal number of nfsd's to run on the server was about 100! If I reduced the number of nfsds below 80 it would start to choke off the data moving through the network. I found that at around 100 there was no more increase. You must make a minor change to source as the max allowed now by default is 20. I was running 8 nfsiod's on the clients. TCP mounts under tested conditions always had much higher loads than UDP. Also it was impossible to do an ls on a mounted directory under load with TCP. With UDP there were no such problems. If you are using UDP it is *essential* that you monitor fragments that are being droppend because of timeout. If you have a good network this should not be a problem. For example I have a webserver that has been up 20 days and has moved 1G of fragments but has only dropped about 800. Also TCP mounts will require a remount of the clients if the server should crash/whatever. UDP just keeps on ticking. If you have Gig ether than there is other tuning you *must* do to realize this potential. Personally I think it is better to use multiple 100Mbs NIC's than to use Gig ether if you can get away with it. YMMV. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: NFS Performance woes
Hi, According to my experience UDP is much preffered for NFS transport protocols. Also try to have the NFSIOD daemon being executed on every machine by putting in the /etc/rc.conf nfs_client_enable=YES nfs_client_flags=-n 10 [u may put more than 10 instances if u suspect that more than 10 simultaneous transactions will happen] How is the optimum number of nfsd processes determined on the server? On our current setup we have 4 nfs daemons running serving 3 clients (webservers) Is the number of daemons to start determined by the number of clients or the number of files that has to be transferred simultaniously? Same question goes for the number of nfsiod processes...

mapping ports to packages
I am writing a little utility to help me get an instant-workstation (the instant-workstation port is fine when you have high bandwidth, but not when you are low bandwidth and have CDs with some stuff already, blah blah blah, there are other reasons why I believe this would be a nice thing). Anyhow, I'm trying to make it flexible enough that it will fetch from ftp or the CDs or build the port, depending on user input. However, this bring up a bit of FreeBSD ugliness: port vs package names. Three bits of functionality are needed here, as I see it: 1) figuring out whether a specified package/port is installed 2) figuring out what package name to use with pkg_add -r 3) figuring out which port name to CD to to make install With the user specifying either a port name or a pkg name. If the user specifies a port directory, than #1 and #3 seem to be easy to take care of, since #1 can be check by looking for ORIGIN comments in /var/db/pkg. (note: if I go with package names, then I have to deal with their brittleness due to version information encoded in them in non-uniform way, which requires more patter matching than I really think I know how to do.) #2 is trickier. I know that somewhere in the Makefile of each port is a set of variables, such that when I concat them I can the package name, but port makefiles are a bit icky, and I was wondering if there was a quick way (like 'make package_name') to spit out the portname--packagename map I want? So, how do I get a package name from a port nicely? -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Editing /etc/fstab won't do because filesystems are mounted before network initalisation. The noauto option doesn't help (it doesn't mount at boottime, neither on 'mount -a' ; by the way why should anyone enter a filesystem in fstab with the noauto option?!?! doesn't make any sense). Next thing i tried is to make a daemon-like startup script (in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ) that actually doesn't start any daemon, but mounts my partition when called with 'start' parameter and unmounts when called with 'stop' parameter. The problem is i have to call in this script a mount_smbfs command with the -N option (it should not ask for my smb password on boot time). Well with this option mount_smbfs looks in ~/.nsmbrc for a password. Apparently on boot time (when initializing local services) the deamon startup scripta do not run as root (i doubt they run as any user that has a home directory) so there is no way of supplying this .nmbrc file to mount_smbfs.

We thought this had cured the problem, but I had one the other day. Okay, I thought this was a one off, but I just had another, only this time it is different. Is this possible that it is the hard drive? How can I make a duplicate image of that hard drive to another what tools will copy it. If the other drive will be big enough and if it will be running on a machine with the same major version of the OS, use dump(8)/restore(8). USe fdisk(8)/disklabel(8)/newfs(8) to put the appropriate file systems on the new disk then dump the old one and restore to the new one. Something like: (Assuming the old file system is mounted as /oldfs and the new is mounted as /dupfs) cd /dupfs dump 0vf - /oldfs | restore rf - repeat for however many file systems you need to save and have room for. Of course, if it won't read the old disk, then the problem is more difficult. jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

vinum: recovering from hd read errors
Note: This post is a long shot at trying to see if anyone else has encountered a similar issue, and see if there are any tricks/traps that I should avoid. It takes a while to get to the actual question, but a lot of preparatory info is needed. On a legacy FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT, from about Aug 26 1999, machine, I have a vinum volume with two plexes, each with a single subdisk. (There are other volumes, but they are 'okay' and probably not relevant). One of the subdisks is on a hd with read errors. The volume's name is 'data', and the subdisk data.p0.s0 is on is /dev/da1, the physical drive with read errors. To be exact, the relevant pieces of vinum 'l -v' output (with some notes) are: Drive drive2: Device /dev/da1s1e *** this is the drive with read errors *** Created on gouda.netmonger.net at Sat Aug 28 02:32:14 1999 Config last updated Mon Nov 4 14:11:15 2002 Size: 9105023488 bytes (8683 MB) Used: 9104921088 bytes (8683 MB) Available: 102400 bytes (0 MB) State: up Last error: none Free list contains 1 entries: OffsetSize 17783049 200 Volume data:Size: 9104785408 bytes (8683 MB) *** this is the volume that has data I want to recover *** State: down Flags: open 2 plexes Read policy: round robin Plex data.p0: Size: 9104785408 bytes (8683 MB) Subdisks:1 State: faulty Organization: concat Part of volume data Plex ex-data.p1:Size: 9104785408 bytes (8683 MB) *** unknown how long this has been initializing, maybe months; *** *** possibly a config screwup *** Subdisks:1 State: initializing Organization: concat Part of volume data Subdisk data.p0.s0: *** this is the crashed subdisk, on top of a hd with read errors *** Size: 9104785408 bytes (8683 MB) State: crashed Plex data.p0 at offset 0 (0 B) Drive drive2 (/dev/da1s1e) at offset 135680 (132 kB) Subdisk data.p1.s0: *** because the plex has likely been initializing forever, *** *** this data is likely worthless *** Size: 9104785408 bytes (8683 MB) State: obsolete Plex ex-data.p1 at offset 0 (0 B) Drive drive3 (/dev/da3e) at offset 135680 (132 kB) Let me be the first to point out that I fully acknowledge that this setup and circumstances are quite weird. Inherited problems are always the most interesting/trying. The underlying device for the subdisk data.p0.s0, /dev/da1, has suffered read errors. Furthermore, it's quite possible that the other plex for the data volume, ex-data.p1, has been 'initializing' for an extremely long time (the person who set this up tried to do mirroring, but gave up, and left it in a 'working' state; hence the ex-data name). It's quite unclear how long the ex-data.p1 plex it has been 'initializing'; it's possibly a config screwup. Anyways, as you can see, subdisk data.p0.s0 is 'crashed'. I've gotten as much as possible off by dd'ing /dev/da1s1e (its underlying device). There are two approaches I can currently take to try to recover data. One, described in another mail to this list, asks about offset into a vinum partition that could be used to get to the 'real' data, that might possibly be mounted as a freebsd filesystem. The second approach, and my real question of this message, is to possibly run 'vinum start', and try to bring the filesystem back up, to try to glean as much as possible from a filesystem interface. However, I'm worried about the vinum automagically wiping something critical with its auto-config, so that this data cannot be recovered. However, this seems one of my few options. So, is vinum's 'start' the thing to do in my circumstance? -- Frank Tobin http://www.neverending.org/~ftobin/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

My advice would be to try an mp3 or other media player. OK, I found the problem. Yesterday I had one of those ``DUH!'' moments. First let me explain that the only kind of speakers I have available are a pair of *non-amplified* speakers. Sound card, it seems, come with two different types of output jacks... one (`line out') suitable only for connecting up to _amplified_ speakers, and the other (`speaker out') suitable for connecting up to a pair of _non-amplifed_ speakers of the kind I have. Well, of course, I had my pair of non-amplified speakers plugged into the `line out' jack, and thus, any sounds produced by my sound card were just barely audible, and only when I held my ear right up to the speaker(s). It's amazing how helpful reading the installation manual for your sound card can be! (Like DUH!) My thanks to Creative Labs for still having (and keeping) a copy of the installation manual for this ancient and crusty SoundBlaster 16 (that I bounght second-hand) available on their web site.

The best advice is don't bother mounting the disks. Just install the emulators/mtools port, which lets you use DOS-like commands to access the floppy: mdir a: mcopy filename.txt a: etc. This has a number of advantages over actually mounting the floppy: - you don't need root privilege to use mtools - you can eject and swap floppy disks at will, without getting grief from the OS - similarly you won't run into problems trying to write data to a write protected floppy disk. Note that those last two effects are not just annoying but can in some circumstances lead to system crashes or having to reboot the machine to clear the errors. Now, if I haven't scared you off enough, the literal answer to your question is: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt That has to be done as root: you'll need to install sudo or similar to make it possible for ordinary users to do that securely. Always remember to unmount the disk before ejecting it.

Re: NFS Performance woes
According to my experience UDP is much preffered for NFS transport protocols. Also try to have the NFSIOD daemon being executed on every machine by putting in the /etc/rc.conf nfs_client_enable=YES nfs_client_flags=-n 10 [u may put more than 10 instances if u suspect that more than 10 simultaneous transactions will happen] How is the optimum number of nfsd processes determined on the server? On our current setup we have 4 nfs daemons running serving 3 clients (webservers) Is the number of daemons to start determined by the number of clients or the number of files that has to be transferred simultaniously? Same question goes for the number of nfsiod processes... Well the only rule for selecting the number of nfsiods and nfsd is the maximum number of threads that are going to request an NFS operation on the server. For example assume that your web server has a typical number of httpd dameons of 50, that means that every httpd can access files on the server, and in the worst case both 50 httpd will request simultaneoulsy different NFS operations. This means that you should have at least 50 NFSIOD (on the client+server) and 50 NFSD running (on the server). Remember that NFSIOD must run both on CLIENT and SERVER. So you determine what is the maximum number of NFS operations...for example in your client you dont have only 50 httpd running, but you make from time to time compile with the -j 4 (4 parallel compilation jobs), this means that you should increase the number of 50 by +4... also in your client you usually have some users that login and their home directories are on NFS mounted media...usually 10 people are using NFS mounted home, which means that in the worst case 10 people may request something from their home so you have to increase the number fo 54 by 10 more I know the handbook says taht 8 nfsiod/nfsd is a nice number but I think that is not correct. I have an ftp server that uses NFS mounted directories, and usually 15 people are connected...so I have put a 20 NFS processes running... Having too much NFSIOD is not bad...every NFSIOD eats just 220KB of memory (which means that you should also consider your memory-if you can afford to run a lot of nfsiod) Having too much NFSD also is not bad...every NFS eats just 356Kbyte of memory, which again you have to note it. So with simple words, just add all the things that you can imagine that can happen simultaneously on all the NFS mounted dirs and put that number...let it run for one week and note down how many NFSIOD are idle or NFSD.If you have put 100 NFSIOD and you see that usually there are more than 50 NFSIOD idle (doing nothing) [on your ps axwu or TOP output] then its a safe bet to reduce the number... Of course you cannot optimize the NFS system in one day...it needs a lot of time to take measurements and check from time to time if you have enough NFSIOD or NFSD, because system load distribution tend may change and you may see that more or less NFS processes have to exist..

Manual title standards (was: man 1 eject)
DaleCo Help Desk [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Peter, what in the *header* of your eject manpage? Generally, FBSD's own man- pages show up with FreeBSD System Manager's Manual, or FreeBSD General Commands Manual, etc., etc. Changing the subject, those FreeBSD ... Manual strings are the default middle portion of a manual entry's title as produced by the required mdoc(7) .Dt macro when the section number is given, but the volume is not given. (The left and right portions are usually like EJECT(1).) There is apparently no standard on what the title should be. There are non-FreeBSD parts (eg, named(8)) of the base OS which use the default title. There are ports (eg, eject(1) and portupgrade(1)) which do the same. Most of the ports I looked at have no middle portion. A few have silly things like FSF (grub(8)). Some seem to be in parts of their manual like Ruby Programmers Reference Manual (ruby(1)). Many of the ports will never be patched to have correct titles, but do you all think there should be a standard on titling? Or is there one? Where should it be found? mdoc(7)? Should we pretend that there is only one UNIX or System or FreeBSD manual, or also a Ruby Manual, etc? Should the title (middle portition) of every page of a section, be the same? (A porter's script could probably enforce that standard.) Should the title (middle portition) be the same across the whole manual? Should the titles be unique to parts of the base system, so that other non-base entries MUST NOT use those titles? Or instead of base system should it be FreeBSD parts of the base system? My preference is that all entries use section-default titles, and that ports be (auto-)patched to conform. I'd prefer a one-manual style: INTRO(5) FreeBSD Manual (File Formats)INTRO(5) PORTUPGRADE(1) FreeBSD Manual (General Commands)PORTUPGRADE(1) Whether the entry is associated with the base OS or ports, etc., should be noted in the body of the entry, under a separate standard, by those who care. (The History section might be OK for it, but I think a new section is needed for info like that and especially for bug reporting info.)
