DVD burners and the Adaptec 2200S RAID controller...
Hi Roland, First off: tnx for your reply! I haven't tried burning DVDs with the ATA driver. The manual page for growisofs says that you should use SCSI devices on OpenBSD and NetBSD, but it doesn't mention FreeBSD. Hmmm, one would guess FreeBSD not to be very different in that respect. Speed is not really a concern for me, but potential data corruption is. I just read something about someone having had issues with an ATA DVD drive, due to digital line-noise on the regular low cost 40-pin ATA cable. Using an 80-pin one apparently solved it. Makes sense. I will use an Adaptec 2200S U320 RAID controller for the harddrives, so perhaps an ATA interface would be easier to configure indepenently of another SCSI device (then again: maybe not). Any advice in that respect? I don't think having CAM in the kernel will make it more difficult. If possible, I'll try to use the generic kernel. AFAIK that covers the 2200S. What I'm wondering about is the following: would it be possible to use the 2200S as a regular controller for a SCSI DVD rewriter, in combination with it running 4 drives in RAID 10 mode? The controller has two U320 channels and allows up to 30 devices to be connected to it. However, I'm not certain that is assuming RAID only set-ups or whether that also allows regular SCSI devices to be attached to it... Does anyone have any experience using such a combination? More generally: does anyone have any experiences in using the 2200S under FreeBSD? Typically enough on Adaptec's site FreeBSD is not mentioned in the list of supported OSes (surprise, surprise...). However, on FreeBSD's list(s) of supported hardware it is mentioned (besides: I currently use the 2100S successfully under FreeBSD 5.2.1, whereas Adaptec's list only mentions the 4.11 version). Can someone perhaps let me know what most closely matches such an interface? The growisofs program from the dvd+rw-tools package is the program that does the actual burning. This is probably what you want. Things like k3b and gcombust et al are just front-ends. Tnx! I'll make sure to do some RTFM-ing on those tools then. Cheers!

Re: Weird NFS problems
Try switching to TCP NFS. a 100MBit interface cannot keep up with a 1GBit interface in a bridge configuration. Therefore, in the long run, at full-bore you'd expect to drop 9 out of every 10 ethernet frames. MTU is 1500 therefore 1K works (it fits in one frame), 2K doesn't (your NFS transactions are split across frames, one of which will almost certainly be dropped, it's UDP so the loss of one frame invalidates the whole transaction). This is the same reason you can't use UDP with a block size greater than MTU to use NFS over your DSL or some such arrangement. Incidentially, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD. So if using TCP mounts solves your problem, don't expect Solaris NFS to magically make the UDP case work... -Jon On Fri, 27 May 2005, Don Lewis wrote: On 26 May, Skylar Thompson wrote: I'm having some problems with NFS serving on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE machine.

Trouble installing 5.4-release
Hello, freebsd-questions. I have downloaded 2 iso images of 5.4-release from official ftp. md5 checksums are identical with those on ftp. I'm trying to install it on my home machine and installation fails with errors. When I'm loading sysinstall with [default] configuration, I got ufs_baddir error during file operation (i.e. while extracting ports collection) or I got bus error and ldconfig, pkg_add and others fails with segmentation fault. But if i boot in safe mode, installation went good with no errors. After restarting, I'm boot up with default config. System seems to work properly but it also can fail with segmentation fault error or ufs_baddir and hangs up my computer. After rebooting I got my file systems destroyed. I even tryed to manually rebuild kernel for my machine configuration, but it also destroyed my file system. I'm making clean install. Before 5.4 i have installed 5.2.1 and it works without any errors. I also have Microsoft Windows XP and Mandrake Linux 10 Community installed - both works without any glitches. My system configuration: P4 Northwood 1.8 Ghz (400Mhz system bus) MB: ASUS P4S533 (SiS645DX) RAM: 512 Mb DDR333 HDD: Seagate 200Gb (primary master, i'm installing FreeBSD here), IBM IC35 60Gb (primary slave) CD: NEC ND-3500 DVD+RW (secondary master), TEAC DV-516D DVD-ROM (secondary slave) Other: AGP GeForce 6600, SB Live! 5.1, D-Link DFE-530TX Network adapter. Whats wrong? 5.2.1 works fine on that system. And also, I got invalid geometry warning in fdisk, but Partition Magic 8 after that says that partition have invalid geometry data - LBA and CHS values are not identical. I got such error on 5.2.1 too.

trouble booting 5.4 installation media (repost)
Hello, Didn't get a response so i'm going to try this again. I'm trying to do a fresh install of 5.4 on a test machine, which previously ran 5.3 just fine. I'm doing the install via a serial terminal as this box is headless and off of an nfs server which i've also prepared identically to 5.3. I have made the three floppies, boot.flp and the two kern*.flp disks, then mounted boot.flp and created a boot.config file on it with -h so i get output on serial port1. All this works fine, i am prompted to switch disks to the two kern* disks, again no problems. When i put in boot.flp after being prompted after kern2.flp i get a repeating error, which is below from sysinstall and the process goes no further. At first i thought it was a problem with the downloaded iso image, so i checked the md5 signatures, they matched, then i rewrote the floppy in question, on 4 different disks with the same result. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Problem with HT support in 5.4
Hello list, I upgraded a few 5.3 servers to 5.4 yesterday and everything seemed to go well. After booting the new kernel, dmesg correctly showed 2 logical cpus (1 xeon with HT). However, when I look at top's output, it always shows at least 50% cpu idle time - even when the load is above 10. To confirm this, I ran burnP6 from the cpuburn port - even with over a hundred apache processes going, exim running and a few other things, top still reported the cpu as 50% idle. The 'C' column in top, between 'State' and 'Time' also shows everything as being run on cpu 0. `ps ax | grep cpu` reports this: 11 ?? RL 0:00.00 [idle: cpu1] 12 ?? RL 931:45.24 [idle: cpu0] 108 ?? DL 0:04.02 [schedcpu] So it looks like smp support is enabled and it sees the HT enabled processor, but it's not using the second logical cpu. Is there something I missed in compiling the kernel, or is this a bug? I have confirmed it on two 5.4 servers now.

Re: DVD burners and the Adaptec 2200S RAID controller...

Otherwise, I guess I'll simply have to add another SCSI controller. Most of what you need is already in the GENERIC kernel. The rest is a available as modules. IIRC, you have to load the cam.ko module. Just use the ATAPI DVD burner via CAM. AFAICT it's very stable. I haven't burnt a coaster yet. An SCSI DVD burner is bound to be more expensive.

Re: sendmail update
Just going and taking a cursory glance at the sendmail makefile in ports:
.if exists(${DESTDIR}/etc/mail/mailer.conf) ${PREFIX} == /usr
pre-everything::
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${ECHO_CMD} # You can't override the base sendmail this way.
@${ECHO_CMD} # your version FreeBSD use mailwrapper.
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${ECHO_CMD} # Please install with normal PREFIX
@${ECHO_CMD} # and activate the port version with
@${ECHO_CMD} # cd ${PORTSDIR}/mail/sendmail make mailer.conf
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${FALSE}
.endif
So my understanding, make WITH_WHATEVER_FLAGS_YOU_WANT=yes, make
mailer.conf make install.
That will override the system base.
Anyone else care to chime in here?

If it's just throwing it on the command line, you might want to consider
putting the flags in /etc/make.conf.
But then, how that port/sendmail will interact with the system

Re: Proper dual booting
Hello. Here is what I see when I turn on my computer: F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk2 This doesn't look very good. How do I make it like this: F1 FreeBSD F2 Windows XP I heard I had to rewrite code. But that's pathetic! Plus, I'm kinda dumb. Before you start calling thing pathetic, you had best try understanding how they work and why they are the way they are.You will both look less foolish and get along better as well. I haven't followed anything about what disks you have installed or what you put on each, but: What you are seeing implies that you have FreeBSD as the only bootable slice on disk 1 and that there is an MBR on disk 2 - and maybe some bootable slices. Normally you would put your MS junk boot on the first slice of the first disk and put any other OSen after that. That is because MS often does no work friendly with other systems. If you did that as most instructions say you should, it might look like: F1 MS-DOS(or ??) F5 Disk2 or F1 MS-DOS F2 FreeBSD It will attempt to list the bootable primary slices plus additional disks with MBRs. Then if you select the addition disk, it will show you the list of bootable slices on that disk. The FreeBSD MBR intentionally limits itself to fitting in the small standard MBR block so it will work with the widest variety of systems. That means it has limited space to create extra lists of labels to display. You can rewrite the existing one to replace one of the existing ones with one you want - that is what they mean by rewriting code. Or you can use a third party MBR. The third party MBRs skip that requirement of accomodating all systems boot and take advantage of the fact that most modern systems (including FreeBSD) wast some blocks at the beginning to make geometry work out conveniently. So they have lots of room to have extensive lists of OS labels and such things. But, they won't work with all systems and BIOSen. SO, choose your poisen and quite calling people pathetic when you don't know what you are talking about. jerry -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Enlightened @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a 2200S under 5.3. Only disks on it though. Check the 2200S bios to see what options there are. I have a vague memory of an option for it to recognize things other than disks.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.
