Re: Download
Luis Thillet [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have been trying (FOR A LONGTIME) to download a FreeBSD Unix OS (i.e. 5.4, 6.0-RELEASE iso.i386). But it has never worked. I was wondering if your company/team/crew have disabled it. Neither the operating system itself nor its download sites have been disabled for any noticeable length of time, if ever. The files needed to install FreeBSD have to the best of my knowledge been available continuously from the moment the respective versions were released. The description is a little short on details, so any suggestions from here are pure guesswork. Off the top of my head, - did the download complete? The size of a typical release ISO CD image file is likely to be in the 550 to 650 megabytes range, and could take considerable time if you are on a skinny line or downloading from somewhere distant network-wise. The Handbook lists a number of mirror sites which could be closer to your location than the primary site at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html - if the download did complete, what did you download and what did you do with it? Assuming you downloaded an ISO image, you would need to burn the file as an image, not a file, to a suitable CD medium. If you opted for the floppy images, you would need to follow the procedure outlined in the install docs to create a usable set. Installing by letting the installer fetch packages as needed could be time consuming as well, depending on your line speed and network conditions between your location and the chosen installation source. I suppose the most sensible thing to do is first to try to locate a user group or other friendly FreeBSD people in your area. People on this list should be able to provide pointers. I suppose even people not in your area should be able to burn you an install CD and mail it to you if that is what you need to get started. -- Peter N. M.

Re: Multiple MSDOSFS partitions on iomega 250GB external disk
Answering myself. Iomega support confirmed that partitioning the 250GB external HDD was possible. I partitioned and formatted the disk into two approx 125GB FAT32 partitions using Win2K disk manager. Both the partitions show up, mount, and work fine under FreeBSD (and also under Win2K). Chandan Chandan Haldar wrote: I have browsed the threads on using 128GB disks with MSDOSFS (msdosfsmount()disk too big. Sorry etc...). It seems to me from the mails in the archive that there are basically two ways to cope with this problem: 1. Rebuild kernel with MSDOSFS_LARGE enabled and pay the price in terms of extra 32 bytes per file memory usage. 2. Partition the disk into multiple 128GB partitions. I'm using a iomega 250GB firewire/usb external disk that I need to access from Windoz as well as from FreeBSD. I'm inclined to go the second way and chop it up into multiple pieces. At the iomega website, they are washing their hands off the problem with something like this: iomega does not recommend partitioning the disk into multiple partitions... etc. Can anyone on this list confirm actually making two or more FAT32 partitions on a iomega 250 GB desktop external firewire/usb harddrive and successfully using all partitions on both Windows and FreeBSD?

IPC Queues
Hello everyone, My company is implementing an application which we plan will use shared memory and IPC mechanisms to coordinate work. We would prefer to use POSIX message queues due to their better support for priorities, but from the research I have done thus far it appears none of the BSDs support POSIX queues. My question is, does there exist some kernel patch or port that implements POSIX queues for FreeBSD? I would also be grateful for any insight others could provide regarding alternatives. For instance, how well socket performance stacks up against shared memory, particularly in a multi-threaded enviornment. Thank you in advance for any assitance you can provide.

Re: WinSCP mega-slowness
Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one seing this. Right now both machines are running FreeBSD, since I gave up on waiting for Windows to copy the files.

I'm building a bunch of packages right now, so I can't get the exact number. I could try the openssh patch later in the week, that would be great if there was a unix-side fix for this.

Re: fxp0 not working after update freebsd 4.10 - 4.11 STABLE]
Hello, I have done an update of my freebsd 4.10 to 4.11. Before worrying about this, I would suggest you forget 4.11 and upgrade to FreeBSD 6.0 or soon to 6.1. I don't think any of the 4.xxx or earlier versions area any longer supported. I have not had any trouble with fxp[n] NICs on it. jerry ` after the update finished compiling kernel and mergemaster. I have my nic fxp0 always show the link status to 'no carrier' I trie to force media and media opt on ifconfig to value has mentioned on man fxp. I have trie to recompile all the src and it's not working. when I trie to force media with ifconfig the first time i ifconfig fxp0 media 10baseT/UTP, the status changer to active. but when i trie to ping my gateway; nothing done. The driver has correctly loaded in dmesg I don't see any mistake. all of my service working on localhost and inet adresse of fxp0. but impossible to contact any server name or ip adresse with ping. I have ask to freenode irc channel after ask question@ but nobody can help me. I have ask to unplug and plug in the cable. no result. Thanks you. Ha.

Re: FreeBsd Help
I am a college student at HLG college. I am a Computer Information Systems major and I have chosen to present FreeBSD to my class as a final project. I downloaded version 6.0 from the freeBSD Site. I made a bootable CD-ROM from the ISO image disc one. The installation seemed to have went ok, but when I go to put a password in for the root user nothing happens. When I type letters the insertion point (cursor) just stays in the same place as if no letters are being typed. When I turn it on now it seems to boot up fine. After I type in my login name and password I am unsure of how to install or run an application, which I am required to do for the project. I have tried finding a basic tutorial on the internet, but have been unable to do so. Please Help!!! _ That is the normal behavior with passwords. That is a security feature to make it less likely that someone will be able to pick up or guess your password from the screen. The entire handbook for FreeBSD is online at the www.freebsd.org weg site. The web site also has FAQs and links to many other sites with such things as tutorials and people's personal experiences and solutions. In addition, if you use Google to search for any FreeBSD topic you will find links to many handbook items, FAQs, questions postings tutorials and online publication articles on almost every subject and question you can think of, including what makes FreeBSD is so wonderful. For example, try thinking of a topic such as password or root password and Google it +FreeBSD and you should find interesting things. eg Google password+freebsdor configure+freebsd or whatever jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Download
Dear Developers: I have been trying (FOR A LONGTIME) to download a FreeBSD Unix OS (i.e. 5.4, 6.0-RELEASE iso.i386). But it has never worked. I was wondering if your company/team/crew have disabled it. If no then how can I go about doing that. It is not disabled. But your site or ISP may have set things up so that you have to use passive ftp or some port of your ports may be blocked by the ISP or a local firewall. Those are the likely problems. Try switching to passive ftp first, or if that is they way you are already running, try switching to active ftp. The FreeBSD site will do both. If that doesn't help, start checking ports and your ISP's policies.

Re: WinSCP mega-slowness
I can try that. I'm not sure how to use Samba3, though. I was trying to help a friend use Samba, but I was use to Sama2, and Samba3 apparently recquires a smb.conf file. You use to be able to just do everything from the command line, like (I think): smbclient //server/share /mnt/pnt -o username=username,password=password Apparently that doesnt work anymore, and I havent had time to figure out the new way. I think smbclient isn't even part of Samab3 (it could find it after installing it). On 2/20/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one seing this.

My machines are two P4's with gigabit NICs, and I'm using WinSCP and (somtimes) pscp.exe on WIndows to talk to sshd on FreeBSD.

Not that its specifics and origins are clearly known, but most of us stumble upon it sooner or later. You can usually achieve wire speed only between two OSes of a kind. TCP/IP optimizations are very important here: if they differ, performance plummets. Depends on a multitude of things from quality of NICs to weather in your area. I've never been able to get more than 70Mbit/s between FreeBSD and Windows XP. I always get 90-100Mbit/s between two BSDs or two Win's. As for your case, 1MB/s is a serious limit. What can you tell us about CPU load? Interrupts? Can you try this: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ If you have both the XP and FreeBSD machines on the same internal network, why not enable file sharing on the XP box and use Samba Client on the freeBSD box.

Is there work going on on the audio subsystem? Or i'm a doing sometheing stuppid?

Re: apsfilter question/problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Feb 18 Eric Schuele spake forth boldly: I read the article at Onlamp about printing for the impatient. Installed apsfilter and samba on my old hp netserver so I'd be able to print to an hp 722c deskjet printer connected to an xp box. I don't have a fix to your apsfilter issue, but if you you are interested in another possible printing solution... try: http://www.lanside.net/article.php?story=20031007161002250 It works well for me. And is simple to setup. Gimp-print was also installed. Ghostscript was already installed. I ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/./SETUP thought I had it whipped. That's where the fun started. Apparently I've missed something along the way, since the print job never gets sent to the xp box. I also found out at linuxprinting.org that the recommended hp 722c driver is pnm2ppa. There was only one section in the install script that mentioned that driver, 10) PPA printer, so I chose that. It plugs it into the setup, but when I try to print a test page, I get ERROR: additional filter 'pnm2ppa' not found. I found the driver at linuxprinting.org downloaded it. How do I go about using it? Is there a way to compile it into ghostscript? I have ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_14 the apsfilter setup script found it didn't complain. Do I need to install another more complete version? I know if I install ghostscript-afpl, I'll also have to recompile reinstall apsfilter with the proper make options. When I choose the more generic just plain deskjet printer driver, the script accepts it, and when I try to print a test page, there's no complaining about the driver like when I try the ppa driver. Test page is created, supposedly sent to the xp printer with even a speed, average around 950 kb/s, but I see where it only goes to stdin. I'm definitely not a programmer, but another filter, ghostscript, something, has to relay it to stdout, is that correct? So, I could use some pointers on this. If anyone interested in answering needs more info, I'll be glad to plug it in to a reply. Like smb.conf, apsfilterrc, so forth. Thanks. Denny White -- Regards, Eric Thanks. Got it installed but couldn't get it to work. Ran into some real problems with what it did regarding my old Star 2410 dot-matrix printer. I shouldn't have fooled with that to begin with. I had tried to set the old Star up with CUPS, but there was no mention of a driver for it, or even the brand of printer. I know some of the Epson drivers may work with it, but in the meantime, I kept getting something sent to that printer, even after I'd removed it from printcap even rebooted. I fooled around with the files I could find in /var/spool downward, moved some into a backup directory until I could get the old printer to behave, then started putting the files back. Afterward, cups could no longer communicate with anything. I tried doing a deinstall reinstall, but the problem persisted. So, it's all gone now, uninstalled. Will try again later with the other solution I received in another post. Thanks for trying to help. I think I've been eaten up by the dumbass in this issue. :) I know others have trouble too, sometimes, setting up printing, but I almost screwed my system up, just to print to a damned winblows puter! :) GnuPG key : 0x1644E79A | http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net Fingerprint: D0A9 AD44 1F10 E09E 0E67 EC25 CB44 F2E5 1644 E79A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (OpenBSD) iD8DBQFD+bUAy0Ty5RZE55oRAtVDAJ9w+r5DA5t2usGFMl7gWyazuLMJmQCfQhQa 5BO7cQZd4FHMUpV6eHyBycI= =ql/x -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to remove Boot Menu

Re: Multiple DNS
Le 19 févr. 06 à 08:46, Robert Slade a écrit : Hi, I am looking for some advice. I have a network which is based on a number of servers running FreeBsd 6.0 serving Win XP work stations. (yes I know but..) The network is large enough to use DHCP and DNS for the internal network, I have setup a DHCP server with a Dynamic DNS (Bind 9) on one of the servers. That server is handling the LDAP side of the domain. Is your DNS server busy resolving internal requests or external ones ? There appears to be a fair bit of DNS Traffic which leads to a secondary DNS being required to take some of the load as DNS lookup are slow. The question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from the primary. You should not forward anything to your ISP. This is probably the main reason for your DNS beeing slow. You should make shure you have well defined your network in your conf (so that you don't resolve queries for outside users...)- I would not advise you to forward any queries to your ISP as this will disable the capacity for your own server to build It's own resolver database and forward all the queries to the ISP (resulting in slow answers)! Normaly you should configure the master and the slave to be authoritative for your internal domains. And configure the master and the slave to resolve ALL the Internet domains for your internal network and none for outside domains. DNS is very tightly related to network... And we don't have any clue for the topology of your Net. SHORT ANSWER : DON'T FORWARD -- BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE!! Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I have no experience in this area.

What that may mean is that there have been many bad sectors, which have been corrected using the spares, until no more spare sectors are left for replacements. That drive may well fail catastrophically, soon. I figured as much, which is why I'm going to re-build the whole array with a new drive, etc... Fortunatly I got all my data off ok without any issues. However, every time the system tried to write to that sector in the array, the system would freeze, and then reboot, and of course it would say the file system isn't clean, etc... Since the file system is 1 TB in size, it would take 8+ hours to FSCK it. The array is only striped, and not mirrored or built with redunancy. I'm basically using the card/driver to make one large volume for a web server. OK. Well, if this data is important to you, you should give consideration to using a RAID-1, RAID-10, or RAID-5 configuration to gain redundancy. Yes, and when I re-build it with will be RAID-5 rather than just RAID-0 I have a few questions: 1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility . issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future) Normally, the OS will only kill the affected processes using that sector, but without knowing where it is, perhaps it's affecting some important file like the kernel itself, /bin/sh...? Actually the only thing that was on the array was a DB, so I think the failure may have been causing MySQL to go nuts, and cascading up. 2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue? Shut down the system. Replace the failing hard drive. Use dd to make an exact copy onto the new drive on some other system. and put the new drive back into the array. Note that the replacement drive must be an exact match for this to work, otherwise you will have to backup your data and rebuild the array. Speaking of which, do you have known-good backups available? Of course I have backups!! Never work without them. I'm going to re-build with RAID-5 this time. 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system into thinking the file system is clean? If you update to 5.x or later, you can use background FSCK rather than having to wait for the FSCK to complete the way it does under 4.x. I wasn't aware 5.x could do this. My next question is how are my existing apps going to be affected by upgrading to 5.x? I have some builds of packages that were done by a company that is no longer in operation. I haven't fully figured out how they built the software yet so I can't re-build under 5.X yet. If I try to put the elf binaries and the other builds from 4.X on 5.X are they going to run ok or do I just need to give it a try? Would you suggest going all the way to 6.x or sticking with the 5.x chain? 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this? Also, if you update to 5.x, you can run the smartmon tools, which will let you do a drive self-test using SMART, this will give much better information about what is going on with the drive, and also give an estimate of its remaining lifespan. Yes, this would help a lot!!! How old are the drives, if you know? They're less than 2 years old, and still under warranty. This is the second drive to fail and it's driving me nuts. They're Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y250P0 250 GB PATA drives... Never had a problem with that particular drive until this batch. Can anyone suggest some good 250GB PATA drives for me to use?

Please, do not post with empty subject line.
Google on this: BBB reset failed, see the solutions,
try them, report here in case of trouble.
Of course that is what I did...
The solution most found is to modify /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c with adding
something like this :
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, GENERIC, USB DISK DEVICE,
*}, /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
},
{
/*
* Time DPA20B 1GB MP3 Player
* PR: usb/81846
*/
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, USB2.0*, (FS) FLASH DISK*,
*}, /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
},
The only thing is, that code is allready in my 6.1-PRERELEASE code, so no need
to add it again. I was hoping a Generic usb device should do the trick.
Another solution was to add device udbp# USB Double
Bulk Pipe devices to
the kernel. Which is by default commented out in the Generic kernel. I
decommented and rebuild my kernel. Still no luck...
But I admit that I didn't check and test all 2.430 results that Google found. I
hoped to get a better answer here.

Re: Every 12-hrs -- ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE DMA
I had a drive dying and it showed up just like this - it turned out to be the daily scripts that scan for file changes, etc, and my backup script were tickling a back sector of the disk. Have you run the smartctl -t long /dev/ad0 command to have it perform a full self test? You normally have to let that run for a while, then take another look at the smart error log to see if anything showed up. Mine ended up having an error that the drive could not self correct. As to why you're able to write a 2 gig file without a problem - if you have some binary or config file or man file, etc sitting on those bad spots, you wouldn't be writing to those blocks. Anytime a security script iterates through them, they would be tickling that block, causing an error. Another possibility is that you have a bad ide cable. Hopefully that is of some use.

How to add 'polling' in rc.conf to the ifconfig line?
Hi, With 5.X, polling was enabled by setting the sysctl variable. However, with 6-Stable this seems to be depreciated; instead polling should be added per interface in the ifconfig line.

When I add 'polling' at the end of either line, then the configuration is not done properly or even not done at all. Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

fastboot: hangs afer console line Rebooting
Hi, I have bought a 'naked' motherboard (no case) and assembled it to a computer myself (adding CPU, RAM etc. myself). It's an ASUS P4S8X-MX with SIS chips. It works all fine, except for the fastboot command. Bootup from cold machine and shutdown all works perfectly (shutdown -p now switches off the power). However, when I do a 'fastboot', the console displays the machine's down procedure, and then says: Rebooting but nothing happens anymore after this. I have to power off/on the machine, in order to boot again. Any idea why this is happening? Are specific settings on the motherboard or in the BIOS relevant to such a reboot? Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Try and boot to your previous kernel. If that is broken for some reason as well, boot with something like Fresbie and install a generic kernel on your disk and boot with it. i use this way but have to pay for lossing /etc/rc.con file, old one. furthermore, my mouse does not move and get this message during boot unable to open /dev/psm0: No such file or directory. anyway, thanks so much indeed for your helps and hints. To boot an older kernel, in the boot menu, escape to the loader prompt type unload load /boot/kernel.old/kernel load /boot/kernel.old/acpi.ko boot ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) with best regards, psr ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
perl script to capture header...??
People, I think perl is the best way to capture NN THE FOR BAR and THE FOO BAR NN+1 and create the header in HTML CENTERTHE FOO BARBR A NAME=#NN NN /ABR /CENTER such that each of ch1 thru ch5 have the title and below the page number within A ... /A tags. I want to label every page number tagged so that people looking in the table-of-contents anf the index can eailt jump to any page. So I'll want to fgets() every line, capture the number and title (which are saved in $1 and $2,$3,$4), right? This book was scanned last summer; ready all but these final tweaks.
