The card still works with AGP disabled, only a bit slower, but ... it works and does not lock up anymore. I don't know much about hardware, but I guess there some problem with Nvidia working together with certain AGP chipsets on FreeBSD/Linux, but not on Windows.

In fact, I believe rebuilding all ports was recommended, which is why I've decided to invest in a second hard drive to do a new install. I don't know if it will help, but my own config is pretty much the same - with a couple extras to omit the logo splash, accelerate rendering, etc. Of course, I'm still running 5.4.

If you're not an actual incorporated company, I don't know if you'd want to use the term CEO. If you're interested in creating a free operating system, a common response you'll probably get is to just download the source code and look at it yourselves; I'd not necessarily recommend this though, since if you're just starting such a project the source to FreeBSD or the Linux kernel may be a bit daunting. For learning how the best way to start may be to look through the Minix source code. There are some books available through Barnes and Noble and Amazon that may help; there are books on the Linux and FreeBSD kernels, and there are Tanenbaum's books on programming operating systems. There's also an old book floating around with a title similar to Create Your Own 32 Bit Operating System that I'm sure someone else could help clarify on the list. Actually, the BEST way to start is to sit down and actually write out your goals and aims for the particular OS (real time? Just something that boots? Will it be multiuser? Networking? etc.) before even starting the programming tasks. Then you can google for hobby operating systems to see what other people are doing, or maybe join other projects developer teams to see how they run things. -Bart ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rebuilding a corrupt disklabel
I tried posting this 12 hours ago, but haven't seen it flow through the
list... reposting with updates:
One of my disks has 3 active partitions: FreeBSD 5.4-RC3, NTFS
(not-bootable), and FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.
I developed problems while installing FreeBSD 6.0. Installation went well,
but when I rebooted, nothing was bootable on that disk. I verified that the
boot record (using boot0) seems okay: slice table is fine (40G, 80G, 40G,
and 40G unused on 200G drive).
Using bsdlabel, I confirmed that slice 3 (FreeBSD 6) is fine, but for some
reason I'm not concerned with now, is unbootable.
PROBLEM: bsdlabel showed me that slice 1 (FreeBSD 5.4) is damaged and only
partition c existed and was incorrect. I do not have cannot find a
written copy of my disklabel for that disk (a good suggestion to *strongly
emphasize* in the installation manual for newbies!). I did recall that
ad1s1a ('/') was 512M, so I was able to write a label and mount the root
partition from a Fixit shell.
QUESTIONS: How can I rederive the remaining disklabel for that disk? Could
a copy possibly be stored somewhere on root if I didn't do it myself when
building the system?
I have not tried to boot from that root partition. Trying several possible
labels has resulted in incorrect super block errors for the partitions
after 'a'. Random guessing will be very tedious.
My research has indicated that I could binary grep the raw ad1s1c partition
to locate the magic numbers for the super blocks and derive the partitions
from that information. I even found a little 'c' language program Peter
Dufault posted 11 years ago on this list to locate magic numbers.
My hope is that in 11 years of development, FreeBSD will have created a
clever tool to aid this process! I've found enough entries while searching
these lists to think that the effort would be justified and much
appreciated. I found the value of FS_UFS2_MAGIC = 0x19540119. I presume
that's what I should search for - it's a UFS2 filesystem. Having only a
Fixit shell is somewhat limiting. I tried 'grep -ab -f pat /dev/ad1s1a'
on a FreeBSD 5.1 installation, but it crashed with a swap error. The 'pat'
file has the 4-byte magic number. It works with a small test file I created
using vi.
Thanks,
Doug

Re: Mounting a linux partition under freebsd
Guillaume R. schrieb: I can't mount a linux partition under freebsd with the -t ext3fs option could someone explain me how I could mount a linux partition under freebsd? FreeBSD has limited support for ext2, therefore you can mount it as ext2 filesystem only. You can convert the filesystem between ext2 and ext3 without data loss by just executing fsck. Run fsck.ext2 from the e2fsprogs package first. Now you can mount it with mount_ext2fs and access data. Finally after you have unmounted it you need run fsck.ext3 to recreate the filesystem journal. I got an other question: how could I obtain a human readable output of fdisk to know the content in terms of partition of my disk? In case you get used to use linux fdisk, you might get lucky with the ncurses based program cfdisk-linux from the linuxfdisk package. ;-) Björn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Be careful with scrub and NFS. From http://openbsd.bay13.net/faq/pf/scrub.html
One reason not to scrub on an interface is if one is passing NFS

packets -- fragmented packets with the do not fragment bit set,
which are (properly) rejected by scrub.
Well, it looks like scrub fixed the issue. I had originally removed the

might be what was messing up my nfs connection.
I put it back and i'm back to my one one state tracting rule for all

Re: Help deriving a corrupted disklabel
On Wednesday 30 November 2005 09:15 pm, Doug H wrote:
One of my disks has 3 active partitions: FreeBSD 5.4-RC3, NTFS
(not-bootable), and FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.
I developed problems while installing FreeBSD 6.0. Installation
went as well as can be expected using sysinstall (no difficulty
other than pulling packages from the CD), but when I rebooted,
nothing was bootable on that disk. I verified that the boot record
(using boot0) seems okay: slice table is fine (40G, 80G, 40G, and
40G unused on 200G drive).
Using bsdlabel, I confirmed that slice 3 (FreeBSD 6) is fine, but
for some reason I'm not concerned with now, is unbootable.
PROBLEM: bsdlabel showed me that slice 1 (FreeBSD 5.4) is damaged
and only partition c existed and was incorrect. I do not have /
cannot find a written copy of my disklabel for that disk (a good
suggestion to *strongly emphasize* in the installation manual for
newbies!). I did recall that ad1s1a ('/') was 512M, so I was able
to write a label and mount that partition from a Fixit shell.
QUESTIONS: How can I rederive the remaining disklabel for that
disk? Could a copy possibly be stored somewhere on root if I
didn't do it myself when building the system?
I have not tried to boot from that root partition. Trying several
possible labels has resulted in incorrect super block errors for
the partitions after 'a'. Random guessing will be very tedious.
My research has indicated that I could binary grep the raw ad1s1c
partition to locate the magic numbers for the super blocks and
derive the partitions from that information. I even found a little
'c' language program Peter Dufault posted 11 years ago on this list
to locate magic numbers.
My hope is that in 11 years of development, FreeBSD would have
created a clever tool to aid this process! I've found enough
entries in these lists to think that the effort would be justified
and much appreciated. If there is no tool, can someone tell me the
value of FS_UFS2_MAGIC? I presume that's what I should search for
- it's a UFS2 filesystem. Having only a Fixit shell is somewhat
limiting.
sysutils/scan_ffs
I've always used it from a emergency FreeBSD diagnostic CD (custom
Freesbie) and it works great. I've never been stuck with only a
fixit shell though.

Re: enabling audio cd sound in emu10kx driver

When I remove it the script works (not from firefox, but that's a different problem). It's not a comment. When a script starts with a line of the form: #!/some/path/to/an/intepreter/binary then FreeBSD recognizes this as a special comment and it runs the rest of the script (starting from line 2) as an interpreted script.

That's not a (regular) comment, it's called 'sh-bang'. It tells the
shell which command should be used to interpret the following code.
For example, perl scripts usually start with
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
Which tells whatever shell you're running (like bash) to start perl
as the interpreter for that script.
In your case, you were trying to tell the shell to use bash as the
interpreter. This is fine, as long as you have bash installed (it's
not part of the FreeBSD base system). Moreover, you need to specify
the correct path to the bash executable in your sh-bang. On FreeBSD,
bash is usually installed via a port or package to /usr/local/bin. A
better way of fixing your script (instead of just removing the
sh-bang altogether) would be to edit it to read as follows:
#!/bin/sh
That'll point to FreeBSD's sh implementation, which is the standard
Unix shell. Some Linuxes will use bash as their sh, but most BSDs
use a more standard sh. Writing shell scripts for sh (and not bash,
ksh or whatever) is a good idea as it will make your scripts easier
to port to other systems. bash is similar to sh, so you might not
need to change anything (unless you're using lots of bashisms or
arrays or whatnot).

After Firefox upgrade, browser no longer prints without CUPS
What does Firefox use to recognize printers? Every other application recognizes and uses the generic UNIX lpd (with Ghostscript and hpdij), which is what Firefox used before I upgraded it to 1.5. Now it insists on using CUPS or PostScript. I've been Googling for two days and can't figure out how to get it back where it was. Have to say, I love FreeBSD, but printing is a serious hassle. Every time the smallest thing changes, it breaks and requires several days of maddening searching and tweaking to get it back the way it was.

geom_stripe and Performance
When using FBSD 4.x, I used vinum to stripe my /usr across two drives. Performance seemed good but I never used any tools to actually measure it. Now I've upgraded to 5.4 (and will upgrade to 6.0 soon) and disk performance doesn't seem very good. When upgrading to 5.4, I ditched vinum in favor of geom_stripe as that seemed to be the way to go from my reading on the lists. My box is a small personal server I use in my home. It provides mail services, personal web space, etc but is not heavily used. The box has two 9GB SCSI drives in it. I set it up with a 500 MB root partition on one drive, 500 MB swap on the other, and then built the /usr stripe with the remaining space on both drives. Other partitions such are /var, /tmp, /home, etc. are symlinked to /usr/var, /usr/tmp, /usr/home, etc. as described in The Complete FreeBSD 3rd edition. When I created the vinum stripes, I followed instructions in the vinum man pages and docs at http://vinum.org. As I recall, those docs suggested a large stripe size that was not a power of 2 to reduce seeking. 'man tuning' also recommends a large stripe under the STRIPING DISKS section and suggests a stripe size of 1152 blocks. However when I created the geom_stripes using the instructions in the gstripe man page, I created stripes with a size of 128K as indicated in the example. Performance doesn't seem nearly as good as it did with the vinum stripe. However I don't really know how to test this. So does the recommendation of a larger stripe size from the vinum and tuning docs hold true for geom_stripe? Or is geom_stripe different in some way and the smaller stripe sizes are better. What are some recommended stripe setups for my situation?

Re: overloaded webserver: nfs wait issue?
Can you provide the output of nfsstat -c 1 on the web servers (and nfsstat -s 1 on the nfs server if they are running FreeBSD)? Run them for a minute when you are getting bad performance. Please also quantify moderately high traffic. What is this in Mbit/s? Also, it may be helpful to know a little bit about your network infrastructure, i.e. are the switch ports set to full duplex and the machines to match. NFS performance is very dependent on a fast reliable network. Don't consider anything less than 100Mbit/s full duplex. Also what platform is the NFS server? We recently migrated from a cluster pair of NetApps to a single NFS server running FreeBSD. This is mounted by four NFS clients running Zeus. We have a lot of NFS experience and we felt confident this would work. It did and with the most marginal degradation in performance.

No, that would only be true if you were using less than 50% of your resources (e.g. CPU) - for example, if your system has 2 CPUs. Otherwise, on a single CPU machine you are already using close to 100% of CPU, but you may still achieve a few percent speed-up since e.g. one compiler process can be running while another process is blocked waiting for disk I/O. However, this is balanced against increased kernel overhead and memory use. Kris pgpPU9y8CQdw7.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Questions about make arguments for ports
On Wednesday 30 November 2005 13:00, Ashley Moran wrote:
Hello,
When upgrading a machine from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 I came across the problem
of how to re-compile all the ports to use FreeBSD 6 libraries so I can
ditch the compat5x port.
Actually you can ditch it anyway, all of the library are either part of 6.0 or
left behind from 5.4, but it's good to rebuild.
man portupgrade I should # portupgrade -aRf to force a re-compile but that
The trouble with portupgrade -af is that it is not restartable. I'd use
either the latest portmanager, or something like:
portupgrade -f '2005-11-30 20:37' See pkg_glob(1)
then brought up the issue of how to configure each build. I found the
section in pkgtools.conf that lets you specify arguments to pass to make
but how do I deal with ports that have a config make target?
I mean I could add MAKE_ARGS = { 'java/jdk115' = 'WITHOUT_WEB=1' } to
pkgtools.conf, but is there a way to specify these arguments in this file,
or is there no choice but to configure manually first time?
If you use BATCH=yes, most ports will do their best to come up with sensible
settings based on the arguments you supply.

Re: After Firefox upgrade, browser no longer prints without CUPS
Joshua Tinnin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What does Firefox use to recognize printers? Every other application recognizes and uses the generic UNIX lpd (with Ghostscript and hpdij), which is what Firefox used before I upgraded it to 1.5. Now it insists on using CUPS or PostScript. I've been Googling for two days and can't figure out how to get it back where it was. With FreeBSD 6.0 and Firefox 1.5, I haven't noticed any such problem. Have to say, I love FreeBSD, but printing is a serious hassle. Every time the smallest thing changes, it breaks and requires several days of maddening searching and tweaking to get it back the way it was. Am about to break down and get a print server, as this is way too much to deal with on a regular basis.

DHCP failing with WiFi after 6.0 upgrade
I recently took my IBM ThinkPad X23, which had been running 4.11, and did a fresh install (backup files, wipe disk, install from scratch) to 6.0. Most things have gone smoothly, though there are still a few things to iron out. My biggest problem is that I can't seem to get DHCP to work with my wireless card. I have an Orinoco Gold 802.11b card that's always worked fine; I'm about to replace it with something else for 802.11g with a new WAP. There seem to be minor differences in how the card goes in; under 4.11 I would get various beeps when I plugged it in and after it associated, but now it's silent. And I had to remember to load WEP in my kernel. But I can seem to get things started by issuing the command ifconfig wi0 ssid jesterWAP wepmode on wepkey 0x[DELETED] which does seem to successfully reach my WAP: # ifconfig wi0 wi0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::202:[DELETED] prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:02:[DELETED] media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps) status: associated ssid jesterWAP channel 6 bssid 00:[DELETED] stationname FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node authmode OPEN privacy MIXED deftxkey UNDEF wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100 bintval 100 I can't seem to get a DHCP lease, however: # dhclient wi0 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13 DHCPDISCOVER on wi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. (Under 4.11, I didn't get any verbose output from dhcpclient.) I can get a DHCP lease with fxp0, my Ethernet card; also, some Macs in the house have no problem getting leases through the WAP. (The DHCP server is in a separate router, not in the WAP.) Is there something that's changed under 6.0, or is there just something I'm forgetting to do? I do plan to get a new card, but I want to get this working too. Thanks. I thought this was more appropriate here than on -mobile.

Does this mean the bottleneck is at the NFS server that hosts the htdocs (and PHP scripts) or just that the server is low on memory? Hi Thomas, What's your MaxClients set to? Please define your values for lot of traffic. What CPU? RAM (512MB seems a bit low nowadays)? Disks? I dont think i can give much advice on the NFS side of things but in the meantime I would : - increase # of MaxClients (the default is RIDICULOUSLY small, specially in 1.3. You will probably have to recompile with a new max. - Look at what the PHP scripts do : i.e., is there anything under your control that can be improved? - Install a PHP accelerator (like IonCube's, or Zend's). Or some reverse proxies if you feel like playing with the whole design of your architecture. - if you use mod_gzip, make sure you dont' compress on the fly - it takes a huge hit on the CPU. (Hint: You can pre-compress the files ) - You RAM seems OK ... you may want to tweak some sysctl or memory settings in Apache (I seem to remember in 1.3 some to do with MMap, but i could be wrong) ... or just add more RAM. Check vmstat (or systat -vm 1) to see how much swapping is going on. - Make sure you have tweaked your network sysctl settings (like send + receive buffers, depending on the kind of traffic you get), reduce your close timeouts,etc. - make use of the kernel modules accf_http.ko and accf_data.ko. - disable from Apache ANYTHING that is NOT needed. Enable stuff only as needed on a per virtual host basis. Hope this helps.

bumping MAXPHYS - success
bumped to 1024*1024=1MB in /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h and recompiled kernel.
all test performed on filesystem on which right newfs options were used so
FFS were able to use it.
effects:
single process - almost no gain, bonnie++ showed about 5% worse speeds on
linear read and linear write, about 2% better at rewrite, same with seek.
multiple process and heavy disk load - HUGE gain. copying large files does
not slow down so much when doing
find / /dev/null
in the same time, multiple large file operations performs smooth, much
less seeks etc.
i will keep this setting.
tried to manipulate with vfs.{hi,lo}runningspace - defaults are OK, where
hirunningspace=1MB=MAXPHYS. after enlarging performance was not better,
while delays (average service time) much worse. so defaults are OK.
settings more than 1MB probably doesn't make sense.

I don't have direct experience with this, but the reports I've seen indicate that vmware has clock problems with both FreeBSD and Linux. One suggestion is that in vmware, set host.useFastclock = FALSE in the .vmx file. Another suggestion is that in FreeBSD 6.0 you can try setting sysctl kern.MUMBLE.timecounter=TSC except I don't know what MUMBLE is in 6.0. sysctl -a | grep timecounter should reveal it, though. And if it is already TSC, try i8254, I've seen both recommended. There are probably other possibilities (e.g. ACPI-safe seems to be the default these days) but as I said, I have no direct experience with vmware. It has also been recommended to set options HZ=1000 in your kernel configuration.
