Re: What is the end of FreeBSD ?!
Notice the difference between these two approaches? It means there's basically no chance that what happened with RedHat will ever happen to FreeBSD. In fact, so disgusted am I with the thought of a Microsoft-dominated future, and so impressed am I with the FreeBSD system (and by that I mean the whole system, including the way code is offered up by volunteers who do it for the quality of the end result), that I'm going to donate $25 to the FreeBSD Foundation right now. And I'm unemployed, that's how much I like FreeBSD. Among other things, bandwidth for CVSUP and FTP mirrors is also a good thing to donate. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Performance Issues
I have been using freebsd for a couple of months now, and have enjoyed it thus far, but there are a couple of performance issues I've been having with it. Previously I was running linux on this same hardware, so all this issues are freebsd specific. Xine seems to have trouble playing movies at the beginning, it's choppy for the first several seconds, then resumes the movie normally after it's in a little ways. Even stopping and restarting, it still exhibits the same behavior at the beginning of a movie file. Also, watching dvd's on this computer is slightly choppy, but very slight. mplayer seems to do fine for dvd's and movies, but mplayer has no menu support for dvd's. I haven't had this trouble with xine on linux using much older versions to just slightly more recent than xine in the freebsd ports and I would like to have it fixed. Also, artsd has troubles. The sound is slightly scratchy coming out it and after it's been running a while, gaim sounds playing through artsd don't quite finish and echos the last bit of the sound, sounding all scratchy. Esd seems to work better, but everything I've read and seen about those two always claims that artsd is much better and higher quality than esd. After seeing the unmaintained home of esd vs. the nice home of artsd, I'd agree. Xine in linux I know had particular problems with esd while watching dvds where artsd worked fine. Not sure about xine and esd in freebsd. Lastly, the system seems slow at times after I haven't been doing much work in it, especially when I have many windows open in mozilla. I think this is just because the system is having to swap in memory, but I don't remember it being such a big problem in linux. I'm using freebsd 4.9 on a PIII 600Mhz with 128 meg ram. Freebsd has a 256 meg swap as the default of install made it. In linux, I only had a 128 meg swap. Am I just having bad luck, or is something just misconfigured on my system. I'd like to get it back to the point I had it with linux, or I might just switch back. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen.

Linux Compatibility and Folding@Home
I was trying to run a Linux program called [EMAIL PROTECTED] in FreeBSD, but it doesn't seem to want to load. I have a version compiled for glibc 2.2 I believe, but when I run it in bsd, I get the error message: ELF binary type 0 not known. Abort trap That was using version 3.x of [EMAIL PROTECTED] They also have a glibc 2.3 version, but that also fails: ./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe) This I believe is because it looks like freebsd uses glibc 2.2.5 for it's linux compatibility layer. I have successfully run other programs with the linux compatibility layer, so I know I have linux.ko loaded and everything set up correctly. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen.

Even stopping and restarting, it still exhibits the same behavior at the beginning of a movie file. Also, watching dvd's on this computer is slightly choppy, but very slight. Do you have DMA enabled on your DVD drive (you can check using 'atacontrol mode channel')? mplayer seems to do fine for dvd's and movies, but mplayer has no menu support for dvd's. I haven't had this trouble with xine on linux using much older versions to just slightly more recent than xine in the freebsd ports and I would like to have it fixed. You can actually compile in dvd menu support into mplayer, but I'm not sure if it works as well as Xine. I haven't used either for playing DVDs in some time. Also, artsd has troubles.

From multiuser state (ie. the normal operating state) become superuser and use the command: # shutdown -h now then wait until the system is down announcement, when you can hit the power button without fear of damaging the filesystems. Alternatively, and only if you have support for apm or acpi in your kernel and a compatible motherboard, you can type: # shutdown -p now which does exactly the same as 'shutdown -h' but goes on to power down the system automatically. This is safe to use if your system doesn't have the appropriate support -- it just halts the system but fails to either power down or (I think) tell you that the system is down. As it is, your system is waiting for the root password before it goes into single user mode -- you would get to that state either by typing plain 'shutdown' without, or by hitting the power button while the system was running, being unlucky enough to cause filesystem damage bad enough that the system can't automatically fix it, and then attempting to power on again and reboot. That it asks for a password then is due to changing the console entry in /etc/ttys from 'secure' to 'insecure'. Your choices are either to give the root password, which gets you into single user mode, or to hit Ctrl-D, which will cause the system to boot back into multiuser. Either way, once you've got to a shell prompt, then use the shutdown command as above to bring the system down cleanly.

Do I have to use install media NFS ? Thanks, Vahric I'm guessing that you've already looked at /usr/src/release/sysinstall/install.cfg - that's a good starting point. You only configure the network in install.cfg if you're doing a network install. These values (as far as I know) do not persist after the installation.

appending to CFLAGS
4.9-RELEASE-p1. I'm trying to debug a kernel module (vpo.ko) that used to work, but now doesn't. As a first step, I'd like to build the module in /usr/src/sys/modules/vpo with VPO_DEBUG set. However, my attempts to add the VPO_DEBUG define to the build fail, because my syntax results in VPO_DEBUG replacing CFLAGS, not appended to it. I'm trying: make CFLAGS+=VPO_DEBUG in pretty much every permutation I can think of - quoted, unquoted, whitespace separating tokens, no whitespace. Each time, all the CFLAGS are blown away and replaced by VPO_DEBUG. How do I append a variable to CFLAGS? I'm sure this is something blindingly simple, but I'm not seeing it in the developer's handbook or the make manpages. -- David Fleck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: nvidia geforce fx 5200 not working with nvidia driver
I'm out of ideas. I purchased a card similar to yours; but if was a gift for my nephews' computer, which runs Windows XP. I actively seek to avoid hardware compatibility issues. I run FreeBSD STABLE; and I never buy video cards for my computers unless they're supported by XFree86. The fact that NVIDIA provides a driver that allows 3D acceleration is just the icing on the cake. (I suppose cool 3D games would be the analogous candles.)

Re: partition not freeing it's space after deleting files from it
Yes, looks like reboot does not cleanly unmount the filesystems so the fsck is run on boot. The strange thing is if I stoped all the daemons and tried to unmount /var, the machine freezes. This part is also strange: I've started to move /var things to /usr, just because I didn't know what to do more. I've moved /var/log to /usr ... then I've moved postfix spool to /usr and discovered that now, /usr is not freeing it's space any more and /var is begining to free it's space if i create and delete something from it. Strange... I've upgraded postfix from 2.0.13 to 2.0.16 and now the disks are freeing space for 3 days now. It's early to say that fixed the problem but at this time it looks like it. Don't ask how, i don't get it, can not find any connection between postfix and this problem. Does this make a bell ring to anyone ? :-) Lowell Gilbert wrote: Is the fsck needed on reboot?

Re: Swapped disks and now stuck in the mountroot prompt

When booting the kernel start probing devices but halts when it try to mount the root file system with the following message: mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a root mount failed: 6 At the prompt I've tried with ufs:/dev/ad2s1a but it does not work. The problem is that the kernel (in some way that I do not know) is instructed to load /dev/ad0s1a as root file system (yes at this stage the config file /etc/fstab is not involved yet, becouse it is no available until the root file system will be mounted).

resources using mhash
I hope this is the correct list for this. I'm wondering about mhash and how others find it for efficiency on a web server, specifically for RAM and how much it adds to the web daemon. Also, if anyone has found a problem when recompiling it in with PHP? I can't find any such stats and little else on mhash. My server is on FreeBSD 4.7-REL, Apache 1.23.55 and PHP 4.2.3. The mhash extension is needed to connect with Authorize.Net's new system. I'm new to FreeBSD, the guy handling my server is not, though he's not familiar with mhash.

If this is the case, be sure to trim the Cc: lines appropriately. Hmmm... seems like I remember this as a big no-no on some other list, as it stated that most people who submitted messages were probably also subscribed, and it was an irritation to them to see duplicates to all the replies. I know I am slightly annoyed when I see that, but only slightly. It finished saying that anyone who wanted a personal reply to state so, but if they didn't, I'd hate not knowing if they received my reply just because I assumed they were subscribed. FreeBSD-questions is a special case: as it's the most prominently advertised support contact point, the expectation is that a large fraction of the participants won't be members of the list. It's also the case that we want answers to go to the list, as then the list archives form a kind of knowledge-base whereby people can help themselves. I think that Loren was suggesting just reply to the list. The paragraph above doesn't address that issue, and maybe it should. The rationale here is that many people, myself included, routinely discard most mailing list mail unread. If, however, it's a followup to something I wrote, I want to see it. If it's addressed to me as well, mutt will flag it and I'll see it. Now that the FreeBSD lists are managed using Mailman, you have the option not to receive any message to a mailing list where your address is already listed in the To: or CC: headers.

FreeBSD hangs on boot
I just recently got an old HP NetServer LH Plus (specs): Pentium 166MHz (dual processor board with single cpu) 128MB of RAM (DIMM's) Mylex DAC960 RAID controller 5x 4.2GB SCSI RAID5 array. -- At any rate, I've tried using my 4.3-RELEASE, 5.1-RELEASE cd's but those fail to even load due to a fault in the loader. I managed to find my 5.0-DP1 CD and gave that a shot, and low and behold the boot loader worked, it managed to find a driver for the SCSI drives (including the cdrom), and to my surprise the RAID controller as well. To give you a little background, basically any *nix based OS I have tried fails to install due to not having a driver or a working driver for the RAID controller, so no block device shows up as being able to installed on to. 5.0-DP1 was the first thing that worked. Even NetBSD with their claim of being able to run on anything fails to install. Ok so now the problem, pardon the winded explanation. I successfully created paritions and mount points and installed a system to them. Finished install, removed the CD, rebooted, and that ended that pretty much. Aftter it get's past loading up the BIOS and initializing the system, the loader comes up for me to push 'F1' to load FreeBSD. I do that and all I get is a system beep. Nothing loads, nothing happens, and I am able to keep pushing F1 with more beeps. No errors, no loading of anything, no nothin. Is there a way I can force error messages to see what the problem is, or to get the machine to boot? Questions? Comments?

5.2-RELEASE - Show stopper problem
Here is a description of the problem... In 5.2-RC and 5.2-RELEASE there appears to be some issue with filesystem or I/O subsystem under 5.2-X. Now, You can install and do the normal kind of things, however, when you create a lot of I/O on the disk there seems to be a problem actually reading/writing it to/from disk. For example, If I do a make buildworld... It appears to go along ok. However, I have had a number of (repeatable) situations where the make installworld will go so far then will not be able to complete. In this case, there is an attempt to write data to disk that cannot complete; the process goes into a disk wait state (it cannot be killed, and will stay in this state ... forever). For example the standard daily security script: 727 p0 T 0:00.00 sh 100.chksetuid 737 p0 T 0:02.14 find /usr -xdev -type f ( -perm -u+x -or -perm -g+x -or -perm -o+x ) ( -perm -u+s -or -perm -g+s I have experienced the same problem on a number of hardware types (Servers like New Dell Power edge 6550's and variety of PC's). For some reason, it appears that data cannot be read or written to/from the disk. Possibly due to some lock never being released. So, the only way to get rid of the process is to reboot... During the reboot, the system complains about not being able to flush buffers and gives up and on boot, all the filesystems are dirty and must be FSCK'ed. Originally, I thought it had something to do with the server model, but it does occur on a number of Desktop model (a variety of vendors) machines as well. I did send in a PR or two a couple of weeks ago)... but since I see RELEASE tag... Anyway, If someone could shed any light on why... I have not been able to repeat this behavior on 4.9.

I have two machines: Laptop- Dell Latitude D800 running Windows XP Pro and Desktop - Pentium Pro II - 200 MHz running Windows 2000 Pro with only 32 Mb of memory I would like to install FreeBSD on my desktop to learn about UNIX and to gain system performance. 32Mb is minimum for Windows 2000. I think I may run into a problem with my modem. I have a winmodem or hsp modem. Will I still be able to use this modem with FreeBSD to dial into my ISP which is BlueLight? I cannot afford to buy another modem right now. Please advise as what I should do.

Re: resources using mhash
In the last episode (Jan 10), Russell Dickson said: I hope this is the correct list for this. I'm wondering about mhash and how others find it for efficiency on a web server, specifically for RAM and how much it adds to the web daemon. Also, if anyone has found a problem when recompiling it in with PHP? I can't find any such stats and little else on mhash. From what I can tell by the port description, it's just a library, and it seems to duplicate functionality already in openssl's libcrypto library. I wouldn't expect it to add more than a couple KB to any program linked with it. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5.2-RELEASE - Show stopper problem
In the last episode (Jan 10), Ted Wisniewski said: In 5.2-RC and 5.2-RELEASE there appears to be some issue with filesystem or I/O subsystem under 5.2-X. Now, You can install and do the normal kind of things, however, when you create a lot of I/O on the disk there seems to be a problem actually reading/writing it to/from disk. For example, If I do a make buildworld... It appears to go along ok. However, I have had a number of (repeatable) situations where the make installworld will go so far then will not be able to complete. In this case, there is an attempt to write data to disk that cannot complete; the process goes into a disk wait state (it cannot be killed, and will stay in this state ... forever). For example the standard daily security script: 727 p0 T 0:00.00 sh 100.chksetuid 737 p0 T 0:02.14 find /usr -xdev -type f ( -perm -u+x -or -perm -g+x -or -perm -o+x ) ( -perm -u+s -or -perm -g+s The 'T' state usually means that someone sent the process a STOP signal. Try running kill -CONT 727 737 to start them back up. Processes waiting on disk I/O will be in the 'D' state, and you can run ps axO wchan to print the specific part of the kernel it's waiting in. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re[2]: resources using mhash
Oh thank you Dan. That's what I needed to know. My guess part of the little information is because of few problems with mhash. I'm new with FreeBSD with a box here, but my public server is run by an old BSD hacker who is very busy and extremely cautious. But he has not used mhash. He makes me research everything new before addling it. Mhash is required for the new Authorize.net validation scripts using Perl or PHP.

Jails not quite stable..
I am working on a project to move various services running directly under FreeBSD 4.8-REL to run under jails on the same servers. Setting up the jails is no problem at all (I can follow manpages), and bringing the jails up using either '/bin/sh /etc/rc' or '/usr/local/sbin/jailer' works as well. Basically, I can get a jail up and running with the desired service. However, I've found that jails are producing some problems during my testing. 1. On several occassions I have been unable to kill a process in a jail, even with a 'kill -9' from inside or outside the jail as root. europa# ps aux|grep J root 90423 0.0 0.4 1268 920 p0- DJ 10:44PM 0:00.01 /bin/csh europa# kill 90423 europa# ps aux | grep J root 90423 0.0 0.4 1268 920 p0- DJ 10:44PM 0:00.01 /bin/csh europa# kill -9 90423 europa# ps aux | grep J root 90423 0.0 0.4 1268 920 p0- DJ 10:44PM 0:00.01 /bin/csh (If I reboot this machine it will probably hang. See below.) 2. On one occasion (and I haven't attempted to replicate this), I tried a server reboot (with 'reboot') after a jailed process would not die, and the server promptly went offline to never return. I had to have someone hard reset the server. Unfortunately, I am not sure what was on the screen as I wasn't around. I can say though that the server was pingable but not reachable otherwise. 3. If a process is hung, such as /bin/csh, then odd things happen when accessing the location of the jail: # cd /dsk/jails/ # ll total 51684 drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 512 Jan 10 22:17 mail1 -rw--- 1 root wheel 52896075 Jan 10 20:47 skel.tgz # cd mail1europa # ll (ls just hangs at this point) I have to kill my ssh session using ~. to get out of this. Note that /dsk/jails/mail1 is not mounted via NFS. It's on the actual local disk. These problems are reproducible across machines running both FreeBSD 4.8-REL and FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE: # uname -v FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: I WANT to use jails to host most of our services, if for no other reason than the increase manageability, but there just seems to be a stability issue here. I realize I will get a lot of It works for me, but again, these problems are reproducible, so I'm sure someone else has seen it. :) Thoughts on this? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
