CLI audio recorder
Hi, Can anyone recommend a command line-based audio recorder. I'm looking for something that can be run from a cron job to record 44.1kHz stereo 16-bit audio for an hour, then be killed off and restarted straight away (so that it produces hour long files continously). Also a CLI based mp3 converter so that the recorded files can be mp3ed at the the end of each hour.

OpenSSL obstacle to PostgreSQL Installation
I'm not able to install PostgreSQL 7.3.2 from ports because I get the following error after having just installed openssl-0.9.7a_2. openssl shows up in /var/db/pkg.

Please see the OpenSSL section in the handbook (at ...) for instructions on how to obtain and install the FreeBSD OpenSSL distribution. *** Error code 1 Stop. On a different list I received the following advice and acted upon it but the above error persists: This is because libcrypto had its shlib version bumped from .2 to .3 after OpenSSL's last round of security bugs.

Changed targets, /dev MAKEDEV problem
Hi, I have read through the 21.4 section of the Handbook to try and figure this out, but have not been able to completely fix my box: I recently decided to reorganize my disks in my Athlon/IDE FreeBSD4.7 system. I removed the primary master disk, since it was all Windows, and changed the remaining FreeBSD disk to be the master. This of course changed the target of the disk. I was able to boot the fixit disk and remake the ad0s1* partitions, which were / /var and /usr, however my swap and 2 other large partitions were ad1s3b, ad1s2e and ad1s4e respectively, and I cannot get my system to remake them, even with MAKEDEV ad0s2|s3|s4 etc All that it shows is ad0s2, s3, s4 without any slices in the /dev directory. From the address, I think I could predict/manually make the devices, but I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas? fdisk sees the other partitions inside FBSD.

LVM / Vinum
Hi I'm new to FreeBSD but not new to UNIX or storage. First of all I must say that FreeBSD looks rather polished, more like a commercial offering than a volunteer effort! :) I'm very used to using LVM on Linux, AIX, HP/UX etc, and I want to be able to similar stuff on fbsd. I've had a play with Vinum, and I'm just wondering if there are any other alternatives? I like the LVM way of having a pool of physical volumes, and having the LVM subsystem take care of physical placement of logical volumes. In Vimun, it seems to me that you have to explicitly state what disks you would like to use for a volume. Also, is it possible to extend / shrink volumes once they have been created?

linking math/octave against different readline
Hi, math/octave does not build on -stable, since it needs a newer readline version, and the configure script fails (cd /usr/ports/math/octave make will show you). So I installed a local version of readline (readline-4.3) and tried linking against it using LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. The configure script does not fail anymore (since CPPFLAGS has my readline's version include directory), but the program is still linked against the system's readline: ldd src/octave | grep readline libreadline.so.4 = /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x2874e000) And leads to runtime failure: octave:1 help /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: src/octave: Undefined symbol rl_get_screen_size Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my readline's lib directory works, but I'd like to avoid it. So how can I force the linker to ignore /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 when linking? tks -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Personal development CVS question

CVS is working great, but I have a somewhat unrelated question, which I would apprecieate redirection if required. The current state of my app is ready for production, so I would like to take a snapshot of it as is, then implement it. I would like to leave this snapshot alone, and further develop in other aspects of the program now. Am I correct with this method?: - commit my current source and branch as RELEASE - download RELEASE onto production server and put into use - further work will continue normally, and the RELEASE branch will not be affected - when I am ready for the new features, I can re-branch to a new RELEASE, redownload onto production and repeat - if changes are made and required into RELEASE, I can merge at that time.

crashdumping on massive amounts of RAM
Hi. I am fortunate enough to have a box with a lot (by my standards) of RAM: real memory = 1207877632 (1151 MB) avail memory = 1166782464 (1112 MB) Now the problem I have is I'd like to debug the panic()s I'm seeing now and then on this box, since I'm running 5.0. :) But it seems I need at least as much swap as I need RAM to do this. So I just want to make sure there is no other way to crashdump this RAM than making a gigantic 1GB swap area. The worst is that I really don't need 1GB of *swap*!! 1GB of RAM is fine.

Freebsd - restarting itself?!
Hi All, Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for no reason? My machine was restarted last night and my hosting company claims they did not touch the server or have any problems.

This is a new machine with the latest OS (4.7) so I can't blame a faulty power supply or something like -- I have more fans than Britney in the server, for HD and CPU so I don't think it's a temp problem.

Re: Freebsd - restarting itself?!
This is a wild guess, but it might be due to kernel panics related to write caching (which is on by default since 4.6) Such a panic will happen when ever heavy disc load occurs. Try setting hw.ata.wc=0 in /boot/loader.conf and see if the problem goes away.

IPF misbehaves on prolonged TCP flood
I am running FreeBSD v4.7 on a Athlon 1600+ w/ 512mb RAM. I have experienced on several occasions where a prolonged TCP flood causes me to lose the ability to do DNS resolutions. My internet connection itself is still working, as my existing connections are still active. The only thing I've noticed not working is DNS resolutions. The problem will persist indefinitely unless I rehash IPF. This problem has happened twice when backing up my Windows C:\Program Files directory via FTP to my FreeBSD box. It also happened recently when some lamer was DDoS'ing my box for ~30 hours or so. Each time, rehashing IPF fixes the problem instantly. So, IPF has to be related. Is anyone familiar with such a problem? Any idea what might be causing it, or how to correct it by adding/removing/modifying a setting somewhere?

Right now I have the exact same thing happening to one machine. It is located offsite (naturally) and about 10 days ago it had a random shutdown (did not come back up) followed by a random reboot a couple days later. It had been running 50-60 days previous. The shutdown occurred just after business hours, the reboot at about 4am. I now have the machine emailing me at specific intervals to try to narrow things down. I have a couple ideas for the both of us. One is that maybe the machine is plugged into a faulty power line, something that is borking the current enough to cause reboots. Another is that maybe the PSU is dying prematurely (3mos old for me). I wish us both good luck. -Derrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: squid performance and kernel tuneables
I would say that with that much traffic first thing you don't want to do is cache anything to the disk. Get a couple of gigabytes of memory, use as few ACLs as possible, cache dns for squid on the same machine, but don't use it as dns server for others, setup a logging server or disable logging, disable everything the requires extra processing.

Yes - enable the kernel debugging option (DDB) on the kernel, and debug the running system when it panics. The only problem I see with that is with non-reproducable panics, if I don't debug *everything* properly the first time, I might not be able to get back all the data I need. Yup, it's not as handy as having a dump. But dumps happen to swap, so you have to have a first swap partition that's at least 64K bigger than main memory. As for your swap partition - the same thing happens when you run out of virtual memory either way: processes start dieing. Having a little swap lets you get a warning of that because you'll start paging things out which would otherwise live in memory. Unless you're planning on setting up a warning system that watches for paging activity and notifies you so you can do something about it, there's probably not much point in having 250MB of swap on a system with a gigabyte of ram. In your shoes, I'd seriously consider running without swap. I've considered it, but I found that I've been able to run over 1GB of mem, so the 250MB is handy to handle exceptional situations as the disk slows down allocation. If you've just run through a gigabyte of real ram, how long does an extra 250mb last you? On the other hand, disk space is so cheap that I always have lots of swap. Something about the days when I used to recompile LISP systems on memory-starved machines Eh. It's a 40GB disk and I really considered putting 1GB of it for swap. I've got a gigabyte of swap with only 20GB of real space. Of course, I use swap for /tmp with an mfs-backed file system. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: Freebsd - restarting itself?!
At 02:20 PM 3/24/2003, Steve Warwick wrote: Hi All, Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for no reason? No. It won't happen spontaneously without a reason. The reason is not always intuitively obvious, but it won't happen without a reason. I've had FreeBSD servers run for 14-18months without a single reboot. When one of them starts crashing or rebooting, there is a reason. Recently I began having this happen on a previously stable machine (no reboot for 9 months) and I eventually traced it down to a hard drive that began to fail. I've seen it be RAM, CPU cooling fan, HD, video card. I've learned the hard way to spend the extra money and buy good hardware. I've got an Intel providence dual ppro MB box that typically will run 12+ months between reboots, only rebooting it when the HD gets full and I need to add another one, or i feel like i really want to reinstall the OS because i wonder if someone cracked it and replaced all the binaries ;). My machine was restarted last night and my hosting company claims they did not touch the server or have any problems. This has been going of for a few months now -- intermittent restarts that no one claims responsibility for. If they have the root passwd i'd change it. UPS is also mandatory. This is a new machine with the latest OS (4.7) so I can't blame a faulty power supply or something like -- I have more fans than Britney in the server, for HD and CPU so I don't think it's a temp problem. I've actually found that new hardware is more likely to fail than old hardware, (except perhaps hard drives). If hard ware doesn't fail initially i've found it will last until it becomes obsolete. (generally speaking). I've found this can be a long process to track down. It usually requires changing one thing at a time, and waiting. If you change too many things at once then you won't know which one made the diff. I'd start with a root passwd change and make sure I have a good UPS. good luck dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Help With Dummynet Config
I'm trying to setup dummynet for my home network. I have an 384/128kbps ADSL connection to the Internet. What I want to do is give priority to a 100kbps video stream when it's running over other traffic. The video stream comes from 192.168.1.3:8080 on my internal network. I setup the following rules on my firewall: # Begin Configure pipe queues to allow video stream priority # Flush before we define $fwcmd -f queue flush $fwcmd -f pipe flush $fwcmd pipe 1 config queue 64Kbyte $fwcmd queue 1 config pipe 1 weight 90 queue 56KByte $fwcmd queue 2 config pipe 1 weight 10 queue 8Kbyte $fwcmd add queue 1 ip from 192.168.1.3 8080 to any $fwcmd add queue 2 ip from not 192.168.1.3 8080 to any Now this seems to work as I don't get any errors when the rules load. I also notice that I match packets when connecting to the video stream with the first add queue rule. However other packets do not match the second add queue rule and I don't understand why. I expect that every packet crossing the firewall that is not part of the video stream to be added to queue 2. What am I missing? I would also appreciate any suggestions on tuning the queue size for my purpose as I really don't have any understanding other than the defaults are probably too large for my slow ADSL link.

Help Troubleshooting Network problem
Hi all, I have a DSL connection and a Intel EtherPro 10/100 network card running FreeBSD 4.8 pre-release. I have noticed that sometimes when I'm downloading overnight, something like an iso image or something large that make ppp load seems to overflow and stop working. What happens is that all application that use a network connection lock up. Applications such as email web browser etc. I have to Kill the ppp pid and all application accessing it and restart them. I know this isn't the best description but can someone give me an idea on what to look at to try and trouble shoot this. I've never had this problem before with any release.

Re: SIGPIPE and threaded servers
In the last episode (Mar 24), Dave Hayes said: Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In the last episode (Mar 23), Dave Hayes said: I have a relatively simple threaded TCP server that services high volumes of requests. Currently it appears to randomly crash receiving a SIGPIPE. But it's not doing what I want it to do. I don't want my process with all it's threads to terminate if I write on a pipe with no reader. I want the write() to return EPIPE so I can handle it there. It's not doing that currently. Installing a signal handler doesn't work to get it to do that. Ignoring the signal doesn't work. I've used both signal() and sigaction() semantics to no avail. So what you're saying is that even if you ignore SIGPIPE, your process still dies with SIGPIPE? That definitely should not happen, and probably counts as a kernel bug (signal is not wrapped by libc_r so threads shouldn't affect anything). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: gcc bug?
so i need to build/install gcc first before can build the rest? i'm not sure how to just build contrib/gcc. i tried make contrib/gcc; make install contrib/gcc but failed in lib/libcom_err. :\ --mio On Mon, Mar 24, 2003 at 10:53:07PM -0500, Adam wrote: Subject: Re: gcc bug?

Re: Freebsd - restarting itself?!
One more thing check you cpu. You could have a bad fan on the cpu, rebooting usually mean it's overheating. Are you ovoerclocking the CPU? You could always as stated faulted hardware. You could put out everything that is not needed to boot up. Then start replace each part until you find out what is bad.

It comes from the fact that your pkgconfig is too old. You should first update all your ports using sysutils/portupgrade, then install galeon2.

Joe My system is not that old; 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD My ports was cvsuped last evening. Is sysutils/portupgrade still necessary? My question more specifically is, what is the origin of pkg-config? Is it part of a package that comes from the ports, or is it part of the main system? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
