Re: 4.7 REL Install problem Write failure on transfer!
I'm trying to install 4.7-Release from CDROM. BootMgr is installed and works to boot Win98. The FreeBSD partition seems to get formated ok. But when the /bin files are copied: Write failure on transfer! When I boot from floppies and use the 4.7 CD for sysgen I get a similar message. I can not boot from my CD either. There have been several posts from others with similar difficulties with 4.7 lately. I have been downloading and burning CDs since r4.1 with no difficulties. The only way I can get 4.7 is to start with my 4.6.2 CD and then cvsup up to 4.7 In my case I suspect that my CD burner or the media I am using must be the culprits. I have downloaded the 4.7 ISOs from three different mirrors, burned 4 CDs using two different burning programs. No luck. I bought my CDs from daemonnews, since we have the same problem, your CD burner or media are not likely to be the culprits.

Also I assume BIOS assume BIOS support is required for drives greater than 8Gb, for me to use said drives with FreeBSD?

DSL, verizon, FreeBSD
Hi. I'm trying to get a verizon DSL service started on my FreeBSD box. I don't have windows running at home, so I cannot run their install software. The nice folks there, have been helpful enough to walk me through the install. I'm happy they are taking a shot at it. They have given me the install username and password, which will expire in 24 hours. If I can get the modem working in that time, then we can proceed to registration and the rest. The modem is a westell, and I have connected everything up (subquestion: can PPPoE be run on the same NIC as my LAN? Right now the other computer is disconnected from the hub so it is just my gateway and the modem.). I have used the example from the handbook: default: set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 name_of_service_provider: set device PPPoE:xl1 # replace xl1 with your ethernet device set authname YOURLOGINNAME set authkey YOURPASSWORD set dial set login add default HISADDR with rc.conf ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_nat=YES # if you want to enable nat for your local network, otherwis ppp_profile=name_of_service_provider (and all the LAN related stuff in rc.conf commented out to prevent any possible interferences, see subquestion). I am getting dial-carrier Hangup! in the ppp.log file (I won't be back home til this evening, if someone wants more lines from the logfile). Which seems bad. I have tried manually started ppp and using the 'term' option (I used to have very informative conversations with my phone-modem this way), but the DSL modem doesn't say anything (no happy 'OK', but I am not sure if it is supposed to). Anyhow, does anyone out there have this setup?

How about something like
find . -type f | xargs grep -l foo | xargs rm
which will pipe a list of all files into xargs grep, which will then
output only the filenames that have foo in them, which gets piped into
xargs rm which removes them.

Re: simple find command
Matt,
It's unclear from your post whether you mean to find files that
*contain* foo or files where foo is in the filename. Here are the
two scenarios acted out.
[1] Remove files that contain foo.
cd directory/where/files/reside
grep -r -i foo ./*
cd'ing into where the files are is not strictly necessary. I like to
do this for safety reasons if I mistype. Otherwise you may place the
directory at the end of the grep command line as
grep -r -i foo /directory/where/files/reside
Do the resultant files meet your expectations?
Check this before deleting them. It might be
safer to move them to a holding directory first.
Then delete them when you're beyond any quivering
feelings of doubt.
grep -r -i foo ./* | xargs rm -v
I'm assuming there might be subdirectories where the files are. If
not or you don't want to get into them, then remove -r in the grep
command.
[2] Remove files that have foo in their filename.
find /directory/where/files/reside -name *foo* -print \
-exec rm {} \;
Again, the caveat about checking your results before deleting is
repeated here. The slash at the end of the line above (after -print)
is because the line is too long in this email. This is the shell escape
for line continuation. You can experiment with it.
Perhaps this clears up some of the other posts.

Re: Can I delete /usr/src ?
Yes. However, if you have custom kernel configuration files in /usr/src/sys/i368/conf, then save them some place safe if you have not done this already. Then remove with rm -rf /usr/src/* This will leave the /usr/src directory. An alternative is to tar and compress /usr/src with tar czf /tmp/usr-src-2002.11.05-archive.tar.gz /usr/src I've given my favorite archive naming convention. You can use it or use your own. When done, delete /usr/src as above. You can always CVSup the source again at a later time. Of course, if you still have concerns that have not been addressed here or I've gone astray from your original question, then don't delete anything until you get them answered.

You might also want to have a good look at the uucp info pages (use the command 'info uucp'). And if you really want to learn the details, I can recommend O'Reilly's book 'Using Managing uucp' (ISBN: 1-56592-153-4), but it might be hard to find a copy, since it has been out of print for quite some time.

xfree86 failing
I've now tried about 10 different times to configure xfree86server 4.2.1. each time, the process 'seems to have failed.' ideas as to why, anyone? i have 4.7 Stable through CVSup but had to get the 4.7 R ver. of xfree86. could there be a problem there? if so, how do i fix it?

Another solution is to set things up so that Sendmail will masquerade properly, and convert local addresses (including envelope sender addresses) to real addresses.

Mergemaster doesn't build anything from source itself. It's a tool for comparing a file presently in your filesystem with a version in a temporary directory newly built from source. You can then choose to keep the old file, install the new file, merge the two files taking bits from each, or just leave it 'til later. The sources for stable and the ports may be obtained by installing cvsup (most folks like the cvsup-without-gui port - fewer dependencies, may build quicker than regular cvsup); copying the ports-supfile and stable-supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup to anywhere convenient and editing them as you like; then running cvsup with appropriate flags against those - supfiles. For instance, when not in X, and in the same directory as the - supfiles: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile then cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile Then make world, rebuild your kernel, use mergemaster using the steps set out in the Handbook. You can upgrade a port after updating the ports sources with cvsup and ports- supfile, without going through make world. If it's a port you haven't installed previously, just cd to the target port directory and: make install clean If you have already installed the port and have also installed the portupgrade port, then wherever you are, just type portupgrade [port name] If you do not have portupgrade installed, cd to the target port directory and make deinstall clean then make install clean Upgrading ports without updating the rest of your system entails some risk, since the port build process will expect current versions of various files and tools.

Re: NFS Performance woes
On Wed, 2002-11-06 at 19:52, BigBrother wrote: Although the man page says this, I *think* that the communication is done like this CLIENT = NFSIOD(CLIENT) = NFSIOD (SERVER) = NFSD which menas that NFSIOD 'speak' with each other and then they pass the requests to NFS. Of course if u dont need to have on the server too many NFSIOD. So in my case I just have 8 nfsiod on server running and most of them are idle, and besides, they only take 1.5MB of memory which I can afford. So I think having *some* NFSIOD also on server is not a bad idea. Of course on the server u should have a lot of NFSD. in other words, running NFSIOD on server is not a bad idea.. NFSIOD is enabled by putting nfs_client_enable=YES into rc.conf. Empirical evidence suggests that NFSIOD is not used server-side. I ran 4 nfsiod daemons on the server and checked their usage time. All were 0:00. If the server does any client NFS stuff it would make a difference, and it may be different under other OS. Certainly it does no harm to have them running. Also monitor the mbufs on all your machines (especially the server). do from time to time a 'netstat -m' and see the peak value of mbuf and mbuf clusters...if it is close to the max limit then you will suffer from mbuff exhaustion will will eventually make the machine unreachable from network. u can change mbuff max value before kernel load ...see tuning (7) kern.nmbclusters=value in /boot/loader.conf, if anyone needs to do this. Have to reboot for this one :-( Also if u have mbuf exhastion try to use smaller block size in NFS mounts. Now this is interesting. I had thought mbuf cluster exhaustion was due to a high number of connections. Although I guess a high number of connections * large buffer size would do it too. Thank you for your response and suggestions vis the other NFS stuff - I managed to get our server talking UDP. The wildcard binding was the problem, and the -h flag to nfsd fixed it. Network usage graphs are showing the differential between incoming and outgoing traffic to be much less now, so I would say there was a lot of overhead in there, as well as retransmissions. I am still playing with buffer sizes but chances are in this case the FreeBSD default is best.

How can i use multiple ethernet card for data transfer in my program( in C language)?
I have two ethernet card(NIC)im my computer .Their
characteristics are:
name:rl0
ip:128.128.64.235
netmask:255.255.0.0
broadcast:128.128.255.255
name:rl1
ip:128.128.65.235
netmask:255.255.0.0
broadcast:128.128.255.255
Both of them is up when i use ifconfig command.
I want develop a program that can use rl0 and rl1 for
data communication.My code is similar as flow:
main(){
...
for(i=0;i3,i++){
sd[i]=socket(...);//create DGRAM sockets
if (sd[i]==-1) return -1;
}
bind(sd[0],...);//bind sd0 to ip address of rl0
bind(sd[1],...);//bind sd1 to ip address of rl0
bind(sd[2],...);//bind sd2 to ip address of rl1
bind(sd[3],...);//bind sd3 to ip address of rl1
sendto(sd[0],...);//send form rl0 to remout host1
sendto(sd[2],...);//send from rl1 to remout host2
recvfrom(sd[1],...);//receive in rl0
recvfrom(sd[3],...);//receive in rl1
return 1;
}
In the first time when i executed my program all data
sent form rl0 ,in other word packets of rl1 and
packets of rl0 were sent by rl0;
So i use the route command as flow:
#route add [remout host2]-interface rl1
In this case data of rl1 weren't sent by rl0 but
rl1 didn't send data too.
please guide me .Thanks.

Re: xfree86 failing
can you tell me what problem you've encountered and what to do about it if i do encounter the same? --charlie pelletier XFree86 4.2.1 (as packaged on the FreeBSD 4.6 and 4.7 CDROM) is failing on signal 11 during sysinstall, as well as via startx and directly executed. The log file shows it dies in routine int10 (AFAIK). I have no solution. The .core file I get after the failure appears to be useless. gdb doesn't know what to make of it; it loads the core file but can't access any memory-- not via the instruction pointer nor anything pointed to by the gp registers. When I try running the X server under gdb, the machine locks up. I have to hard reset. All of this is on a machine that has run every release of FreeBSD and X since FreeBSD 2.2.7. The problem was introduced in FreeBSD 4.6 which includes XFree86 4.2 by default. XFree86 3.3.6 and earlier didn't have the problem. If I don't get some help soon, I don't know what I'll do. Perhaps try and make the X server with debug symbols and run again. That's a chore I'm not looking forward to, but since I can't seem to get much response from the experts I guess I have little choice. I have some experience with writing X apps, but none at all with the server itself, so I know I'm in for a major learning experience. Whatever I eventually learn, I'll post here. Of course, I'm still hoping for expert help. Paul A.

tip(1) questions
So I have tried to use tip to connect to this old printer, and it seems less than responsive. tip will connect but that I can't use any escapes: I have to kill the tip process from another session. I did successfully get the printer to identify itself after I power-cycled it, but that was it. tip was unable to do anything else for me and subsequent connections required me to kill the process. The baud rates should be OK (I am using 57600). -- Paul Beard / 8040 27th Ave NE / Seattle WA 98115 / paulbeard [at] mac [ dot] com / 206 529 8400 weblog @ http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/movabletype/ *** NEWSFLASH *** Russian tanks steamrolling through New Jersey Details at eleven!

RE: FreeBSD filesystem 1TB Limit
Couldn't you just use NFS to bypass the 1TB restrictions? So when the main filesystem gets full, it spills over into nearby servers using the identical file system setup connected via fiber for top speed. This would technically only limit your system space based on how many servers you could efficiently attach to the same array. So if you could attach say 10 of these servers efficiently, then you could technically have a 10TB array.
