You are right, that fixed it, but didn't think I had to do that before :( no it's been like that since I know of FreeBSD 2.0 and propably longer. The BSD ip stack adds a route to the connected network over the respective interface when you do an ifconfig. Using the same netmask on all aliases it will cause it to try to add the same route multiple times causing the error you saw.

FreeBSD and GCC
Hi All, I'm not to familiar with what goes on behind the scenes during the FreeBSD install process. So please forgive me if this is a dumb question. Is there any way to install FreeBSD without gcc and later build from the ports tree, to enable me to keep upto date with the gcc project releases. Like I said, I don't know if this is possible, but any replies are gratefully accepted.

They patch it theirselves while making sure it maintains its compatibility with the ports- tree. And no, you can't install FreeBSD without a compiler (correct me if I'm wrong) . It's just part of the OS. That is why you're way better off with the versions that come with original installation then one from the GCC project page. Your question could easily apply to Linux though, but FreeBSD is not like that.

Freebsd and performance
Hi I have been following news for quite a while now and I have tested several fbsd releases form 4.X and 5.2.1 releases from all I have noticed is that I liked 4.X very much especially the memory management, harvest performance, actually the overall performance and the widely available documentation, well that's one of the main reasons why freebsd is known to me. Know you guys coming close to the 5.3 -stable release alot of users are going to upgrade/switch, right, because this is what we have been waiting for. What about the performance that 4.X had? Will the performance be equal ? Will it be having better performance? Even on low end machines? And especially sinds freebsd is becoming more and more ready for desktop use, performance is a big issue on desktops.(look at Gnu/Linux for example, which I have been using for a very long time know, and all I can remember is that almost all of the releases have scheduling/latency issues. When I was using 2.2/2.4/2.6 All I have seen where low latency patches. What about freebsd? I'm so exited to try out the new freebsd release. Butt a couple of questions are desired first. As all you have noticed the above^ part, will fbsd have the same performance or better? When will this be ready 5.3.X ? Could I get some more accurate information about this? Since I'm planning to use it on my desktop. I have only been reading the bsd section at slashdot so I don't know much about the progress you guys are making on the feature release. Is there a offical news site for freebsd users? Like openbsd has *deadly.org. What about the compile flags freebsd RC is using compared to 5.3 -stable will there be a lot of changes? What about gnome packages? Will 2.8 make it in 5.3 stable (iso)? If those things are taking a while to be there, does fbsd have any kernel patches like linux does to improve desktop performance?

Am I missing it or is it not there in 4.10? Is it there or is any work being done in 5.x that would support this? BTW, the reason for this question is forensic analysis of drives using FreeBSD. I need to be able to see the entire disk.

Put these lines: sound_load=YES snd_driver_load=YES Into the file /boot/loader.conf and then reboot. after you reboot look at dmesg and see if it found/loaded any sound drivers you can do this by typing in dmesg at the console and using your scroll lock key to move up/down OR type in dmesg | grep pcm you should see a lines like this: pcm0: ESS 18xx DSP on sbc0, sbc0 is the driver it is using, now type in this dmesg | grep name_of_driver to make sure all of the sound stuff loaded. now put a music cd into your cd player and type in (as root) cdcontrol play if you hear something that sounds like music your good to go, add the name of the driver etc. to your kernel config file and recompile when convenient, just remember to comment out those lines in loader.conf. and, nevermind, im late for school ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Freebsd and performance
n.v.t n.v.t wrote: Know you guys coming close to the 5.3 -stable release alot of users are going to upgrade/switch, right, because this is what we have been waiting for. What about the performance that 4.X had? Will the performance be equal ? Will it be having better performance? Even on low end machines? And especially sinds freebsd is becoming more and more ready for desktop use, performance is a big issue on desktops.(look at Gnu/Linux for example, which I have been using for a very long time know, and all I can remember is that almost all of the releases have scheduling/latency issues. When I was using 2.2/2.4/2.6 All I have seen where low latency patches. What about freebsd? I speak for myself only and not re@, but no. 5.3 will not (yet) have the same performance 4.x had. So far 5.x has been about upgrading some of our major subsystems with more modernization, like a multithreading kernel, multithreaded kernel subsystems, eliminating Giant, etc. All of these things are not the tried-and-true of 4.x, they are new. Likewise they may not outperform 4.x, yet. I imagine once RELENG_5_3 is cut and -STABLE is adopted we will see more and more performance related patches. Eventually the 5.x branch will achieve the stability 4.x has to offer. I have only been reading the bsd section at slashdot so I don't know much about the progress you guys are making on the feature release. Is there a offical news site for freebsd users? Like openbsd has *deadly.org. www.freebsd.org. www.daemonnews.com I think carries some news. Otherwise, subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's a pretty good way to see information about what is going on. If those things are taking a while to be there, does fbsd have any kernel patches like linux does to improve desktop performance? For example like: http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ Lord, I hope not. One of the reasons I dislike Linux (and there are many) is how much independent, unofficial, hard-to-find, incompatible, and distribution specific development goes on.

Vinum problems/questions
I'm currently trying to use vinum to set up a thin client which will function as a mirroring fileserver. The idea is that the customer will enable the mirror using a web-interface. But, of course, I'm having problems. The main one is that for some reason vinum says that one of the two plexes is faulty. This seems to be regardless of what HDs I use. Currently the two HDs are identical (23Gb IDE drives), but I have tried using different disks, different sizes. Using 'vinum create configfile' works, but as mentioned complains that one of the plexes is faulty. It is far worse using the 'vinum mirror /dev/ad2a /dev/ad3a', which causes a kernel panic and a reboot. Not fun. /var/log/messages shows the following lines: Jul 20 10:16:01 trabant /kernel: dscheck(#ad/16): b_bcount 8 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512) Jul 20 10:16:01 trabant /kernel: dscheck(#ad/24): b_bcount 8 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512) The config file I'm using looks as follows: drive drive_a device /dev/ad2a drive drive_b device /dev/ad3a volume mirror plex org concat sd length 0 drive drive_a plex org concat sd length 0 drive drive_b Changing the length makes no difference.

FreeBSD 5.3 on Panasonic Toughbook CF-37
Hello, I'm taking over my wife's laptop and trying to get FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 running. Things seem to be running fairly well, a bit of ghosting with the cursor in X but that's livable. The only problem that I'm running in to is the PCMCIA slot doesn't seem to be functioning. My Proxim WiFi card runs fine in Windows and Linux but I'm not even getting a power light on the card in FreeBSD. I have compiled ath and ath_hal support (Atheros drivers in Linux work) in to the kernel but even without proper drivers I'd think I should still get power. I checked the freebsd-questions and freebsd-mobile mailing list archives and haven't found anything helpful. I would have sent this to the freebsd-mobile list but I don't believe this would be considered a technical question. Where can I find a list of supported PCMCIA bus drivers?? Any idea how I can find out what PCMCIA bus chipset I'm using??

Re: HP Servers
dev web wrote: Hi, The company I work for use mainly FreeBSD servers, we are currently investigating investing in a new server with the following specs: HP ProLiant DL380 G3 - Xeon 3.06 GHz [SNIP SPECS] Has anyone had any experiance running FreeBSD on a system such as this, My main concerns are really the Raid Array, ILo and Insight Manager, I know that FreeBSD has the Smart Array 5i supported through ciss, but we dont currently use either HP or Raid, The reseller has been as helpful as possible (bar giving us a server to play with) but support for FreeBSD at HP is obviously limited at best. Any help would be appreciated, our only other alternative is to run RedHat or MS which are both supported by HP, We are preared to do that, but would much rather continue to use FreeBSD, it has served us extremely well and has proved to be a solid enviroment for our requirements. Hi Alex, We recently installed freeBSD 5.2.1 on such a system to test several things, including RAID-1 (2 disks). It was a HP DL380 G3 with the 5i controller. The Ilo functions are working nicely (use the trial period for the advanced features). I configured almost everything trough Ilo remotely. Only after having a ssh shell available, I changed to the shell. Always being able te reboot the server is nice (even with severely damaged or no OS). I pulled out one of the drives, then started the server. This was immediately noticed and the ciss0 started recovering the array (interim recovery mode). After a while the status changed to recovering-OK. Everything worked just fine, except for the Tape drive. You need a special Hot plug tapedrive for the 5i controller bay, but I could not get it to work properly. I found in Google: SCSI passthrough is not supported by the CISS driver. Are you trying to hook the tape device to the CISS controller? I believe that will never work as the CISS driver only supports logical arrays (of disks). I do realize that you see output from the CISS BIOS that a device has taken a certain ID, but I'm pretty sure it will not allow the OS to recognize it. My advice would be to stick in another controller! Be aware that the server does not have normal power-connectors (ours didn't). So trying another -internal- scsi tape drive will probably not work. I somebody finds an answer to the HP Hot-plug tapedrive + ciss driver, I'd like to hear it! Good luck!!! with kind regards, Richard Zoontjens --- Radécom B.V.

Problem connecting with Netatalk 2.0

When I start netatalk I do get this warning -

- but it then starts up

When I connect from my Mac (10.3.5) I get the dialog
box to enter in my login and password
for the volume on the FreeBSD box, but the box to
select the volumes I want to mount is empty.
I do have a tilde at the end of the
AppleVolumes.default file.
I tried to use NFS and it worked without a hitch,
except transferring files to the FreeBSD box via NFS
is
MUCH slower than using netatalk. I still have another
box running the older netatalk so I could time a file
copying to each system and was surprised to see how
slow NFS is compared to using Netatalk.
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks,

Cardbus Atheros 5212 and Dell laptop(s)...
Hello, I'm having difficulty getting my Atheros 5212 based card to work in either of my dell laptops. The card only has its power LED on for about half a second when it is identified by the os (5.3BETA7), then it goes off. dhclient causes the link LED to blink in a very consistent manner but it never aquires any info from DHCP server. 'wicontrol -i ath0 -l' shows the correct wireless nets in the immediate area. 'ifconfig' shows correct info. My entire dmesg is appended to the bottom of this message. The card behaves the same on both my dell 5100 and my dell 1100. Thought maybe it was a bad card so I returned it and picked up another (same make and model)... but it behaves exactly the same. Its a Blitzz BWP 712 Super G (Atheros 5212)... wal-mart special. It behaves as described wether its inserted before I boot... or after it boots and I'm logged in. I have device ath device ath_hal device wlan I have a dhclient.conf with something to the effect of: media ssid wLAN_SSID channel 1 weptxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0x35CE7F608436C02D11583BDB7F3; Other (maybe unimportant) things: ACPI is on... APM is off. #option SMP AGP is on DRM is on Tried disabling PC Card support and just leaving Cardbus support... no go. I suspect I have something misconfigured with respect to the pcmcia slot... but that's just a guess.

Hello,
I'm having difficulty getting my Atheros 5212 based card to work in
either of my dell laptops. The card only has its power LED on for
about half a second when it is identified by the os (5.3BETA7),
then it goes off. dhclient causes the link LED to blink in a very
consistent manner but it never aquires any info from DHCP server.
I should also note that it will not associate with any WAP even when
I force all settings (IP address, wepkey, etc..)...
Thanks,
When I moved to FreeBSD 5*, I found that I had to remove certain
wireless configuration options that worked in FreeBSD 4*. That was
with a wi device; but the later configuration works well with my new
atheros devices.
I'm using the following atheros products successfully:
D-Link DWL-G520 (pci in a generic desktop running FreeBSD 5.3RC1)
D-Link DWL-G650 (pccard in a Dell Inspiron 8100 running FreeBSD 5.2.1)
FYI: D-Link is displaying the Atheros logo on the retail boxes of its
atheros chipset products; which should make purchasing these easier.
I use the script below, with a real wep code and different IP addresses,
for each of these devices. Other than setting hostname info
in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts, I haven't edited any other network
configuration files.

Like I said, I don't know if this is possible, but any replies are gratefully accepted. Nopes its not possible. However you can very well use the gcc present in the port and use the knob to overwirte the system compiler although that is not recommended. It's possible to install the gcc-3.5 port under /usr/local and then set CC appropriately in your environment. This will let select programs build with the newer gcc but will keep the system compiler unchanged. Overwriting the system compiler might be a serious problem, especially if the newly installed proves to be buggy and in need of a replacement but is unable to complete a full buildworld cycle. You would then have to reinstall the entire system from the original installation media! Moreover, you usually can't build FreeBSD with a non-system version of the gcc compiler.

And especially sinds freebsd is becoming more and more ready for desktop use, performance is a big issue on desktops.(look at Gnu/Linux for example, which I have been using for a very long time know, and all I can remember is that almost all of the releases have scheduling/latency issues. When I was using 2.2/2.4/2.6 All I have seen where low latency patches. What about freebsd? Benchmarks I've seen show 5.3 performing better than 4.x in many workloads. Try it yourself and see if you like it :) I have only been reading the bsd section at slashdot so I don't know much about the progress you guys are making on the feature release. Is there a offical news site for freebsd users? Like openbsd has *deadly.org. www.freebsd.org :-) bsdnews.com is also good; slashdot.org is probably the worst possible news source you could be reading :-) What about the compile flags freebsd RC is using compared to 5.3 -stable will there be a lot of changes? No changes. What about gnome packages? Will 2.8 make it in 5.3 stable (iso)? No, the ports tree is already frozen and packages are built. If those things are taking a while to be there, does fbsd have any kernel patches like linux does to improve desktop performance? For example like: http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ Not that I'm aware of, we like to commit patches that improve performance instead of leaving them out :-) Kris pgpMhBjCbDsTU.pgp Description: PGP signature

[warning: not sure if this next part is simply due to my inexperience] i found that the user was not able to mount to anything hanging directly off of '/' (ex. /mnt /cdrom /floppy) - even if i messed with the perms. to solve this, i created the desired mount points (simply empty directories) in that user's $HOME (with user ownership, group, and rwx perms). this solved the problem. just make sure that your users only try to mount to ~/mntpoint hth, epi I've went thru the handbook and also Dru Lagvigne's (is that right?) articles on OnLamp to no avail. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Booting to CD and the handing off to HD
Cristobal, I may have missed some followups to this thread, hope this isn't redundant. If you copy /boot/boot1 to someplace like /root, chmod 500 to make it executable and do an exec /root/boot1 the system will reboot the hard drive, eleminating all bios checks for boot sequence and bypassing the cd boot preference. I haven't gone through a complete sequence of what you need to make this work (i.e. burning a cd, etc) What I have tested is: Dual boot system with microsoft boot loader, Windows 2000 on first partition FreeBSD 5.3b7 on second partition Boot FreeBSD single user exec /root/boot1 There may be all sorts of gotchas in this which you will have to work out, but I think it's a path that might work. Hope this helps Gary I'm going to be working on a firewall box where I want to boot to CD and run an integrity check on the Hard Drive. If the Hard Drive checks out OK, I want the CD to then hand off to the hard drive and boot the hard drive. Is that possible?

Two faced FreeBSD - or is that two headed?
Hey everyone. I'm considering an addition to the desktop. Namely a second monitor to set up a two faced system. Maybe it's really a two headed system? Either way, it was real easy to talk the boss (read wife) into it. I just mentioned that I was considering one of two things: A new laptop or a second monitor to set up this. Her first question was what will they cost? You can guess the rest. Now, my current card supports both standard video and DVI outputs, so I'm wondering if this is as simple as making the screen resolution twice as wide, or if I really have to get a second card. Something tells me it's not that simple. I've heard xinerama mentioned a few times in contexts that suggest it might be related to this task, but I'm not able to find anymore detail on it. X.org directed me to the sourceforge site, but all I can gather from that is that it is in the Desktop Environment category. There are no docs; there is no summary that tells what it does (it could be a screensaver for all I can tell from that). Searching the archives for dual monitor came up empty. I have to assume I am missing the majick phrase to get all the real info on this subject. So, my questions: Is anyone out there doing this with FreeBSD? Where the heck is the FM? BTW, the system in question is running xorg with FVWM 2.4.18 (from the ports), and will ultimately be running RELENG_5_3.

Long/short lines that Greg referred to is a common symptom of Outlook-formatted (or, to be more precise, `unformatted', if I am excused for the pun) messages. I've recently had the misfortune to have to use Outlook for real work. I won't start on a rant about how difficult it is to use, but I'd like to point out that it reformats text for display, wrapping lines that weren't wrapped in the original.

Indeed. I think I'll keep your text and add it to my own rant, if I may. What is very wrong about the wrapping style of Outlook (or the lack of one) is that Outlook users might never become aware of it. Just like you didn't know about it until Greg pointed it out ;-) That's all true but at least it solves the topposting problem which is what most People seemed to be complaining about. :) A number of things about this comment: 1.

I'm running FBSD 4.9 on a machine which is connected to a router (Netgear) that provides DHCP services. The FBSD box gets the IP correctly (assigned based on the MAC address), but the router never sees it by name. I have the name of the machine in the hosts file and rc.conf, but the router never gets the name back. Can anyone help? What makes you think the router *should* get the name back? Please, show contents of /etc/resolv.conf file on your machine. Two lines in resolv.conf: search albyny.adelphia.net nameserver 192.168.0.1 You've got 192.168.0.1 listed as a nameserver. Can't be. That's the ip address of your Netgear router, it acts as a DHCP server not as a DNS server. What is albyny.adelphia.net? Is that your ISP? You need to get one or more nameserver ip's from your ISP. That's what goes in resolv.conf Thanks, Bill Don It's a personal lan with primarily Windows machines on it. albny.adelphia.net is the ISP prefix. I don't recall editing resolv.conf before, meaning something I did in sysinstall must have put that in there. Adelphia is the isp (cable connection). They're configuration instructions for Windows say to automatically DNS address automatically. I've got that option checked in the router, as well. I believe the router gets it from the isp, then provides it to the rest of the machines, but networking has never been my specialty! :-p Bill ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Two faced FreeBSD - or is that two headed
There are a number of ways to run dual monitors on FreeBSD, Leaving out the option of having the same desktop on each monitor (which is not very interesting), they are: Independent X sessions on each monitor. This gives you two totally independent screens, each with its own desktop. Advantages: you can run hardware acceleration on each (OpenGL, DRI, etc.). Disadvantages: you cannot drag windows from one screen to the other. I find this annoying. Xinerama. This spreads a single desktop over the two monitors. Advantages: a single desktop is wonderful. Disadvantages: no 3D hardware acceleration at all; software 3D only on the primary monitor, and none on the secondary (I think). Also, not all applications are Xinerama-aware, so you sometimes get dialog boxes split between the monitors (half on one, half on the other). Of course, you can simply drag the box onto one monitor or the other. MergedFB. Like Xinerama, except that it uses a single frame buffer for both screens (Xinerama uses one for each monitor). Advantages: Hardware acceleration is available. Disadvantages: some fiddling with the graphics drivers to get the windows to behave like Xinerama (for window placement and resizing). If you have no need for hardware acceleration, I recommend you try Xinerama to see how you like it. It may well be good enough. If you do need acceleration, it is your call on which of the other two options would be better. I don't know your graphics card, so I have no advice to offer here. It is possible to use two different graphics cards (the one you have, and the one integrated onto your motherboard) but I've not tried that. I use an old Matrox G450 in MergedFB mode (still on XFree 4.3.0; this should work on X.org as well). It is no speed demon, but 2D quality is nice, and speed is adequate for the few applications I have that require OpenGL. In addition to googling on Xinerama, try www.botchco.com/alex/dualhead and www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml for information on MergedFB. I have XF86Config files for all of these modes (for the G450); unless there is general interest I'd suggest you contact me off-list to get them if they would help. And good luck!
