Your performance sucks because, to quote the manual, Input data is read and written in 512-byte blocks.

Writing CDs on a DVD drive.
It is not very clear what utilities are capable of writing R or RW CDs on a multipurpose optical drive. It seems that burncd doesn't do this and the man pages for growisofs talks of specific DVD media types but not CDs. Is cdrecord a suitable tool for this purpose? And a (sort of) related question, will growisofs write double or dual layer DVDs? The man page does make mention of a write limit of 4+GB but I see this can be turned off. Is this enough to enable writing dual/double layer medis? Are there more suitable utilities executing these tasks? I'm not looking for GUI wrappers for command line utilities but the base level utilities. Any help appreciated.

I've done it, so it is possible to get it to work. I can't remember now if
there were any partiuclar issues in setting it up -- one suggestion would be
to check the log files for something that might shed light.
I forgot -- there was an issue when I set this up. There is code in
the nxserver, in nxcomp/Loop.cpp, that checks whether the connection
is coming from an expected IP address (or something like that). What
seems to happen is that it gets confused by the way that 127.0.0.1 in
the jail gets translated to the jail's IP address, so it thinks they
don't match.
I made a patch for net/nxserver that kind of fixes the problem, but I
should emphasize that this isn't a proper patch -- it just bypasses
the check entirely, rather than trying to do it correctly in the jail.
So it probably defeats something which contributes to security. That
having been said, here's the patch:

Native sunbird issues.... (deskutils/sunbird)
Hello, Anyone using the deskutils/sunbird (not deskutils/linux-sunbird)? I had been using the linux-sunbird for some time (probably because I could never get the native port to run, don't remember), but I recently used the libtool+gtk issues I was experiencing as an excuse to try out my rebuild my machine quickly scripts and decided to install deskutils/sunbird instead. In any case. The native port does not seem to run for me, and I was wondering if anyone was using it successfully, and if they had any hurdles to overcome in getting it working. I did the normal make install clean in the appropriate dir (everything went well). Running it for the first time, I see the process in top, and it writes a bit to the console, but then exits. All subsequent attempts to run it result in the following at the console: Starting calendar alarm service error creating table cal_calendars -- probably already exists error creating table cal_calendars_prefs -- probably already exists observer added observer removed and the process exits. FWIW, I seem to recall seeing the above at the console even with a working deskutils/linux-sunbird. Using RELENG_6 as of yesterday. Any ideas?

Re: PHP for MySQL question
Forwarding to the list. A quick google make's me think aclocal is part of automake and I actually found several versions on my system. Check your system and if one is not installed that could be the problem. I would have thought it would have been installed as a dependency by something along the way. automake-1.4.6_2 automake-1.5_2,1 automake-1.9.6 Automake1.5 was the problem, I found it in the ports section and things seem to be working well. Can't imagine why it just didn't install as a dependency though. Ooh well, it's all installing now and looks good. Much thanks. Glad to have helped, I'm curious why the missing dependency though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PCI-X is a parallel bus at 100 or 133mhz PCI-Express is a newer serialized bus with the capabilities of bonding more channels. It comes in the following flavors 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x.

For instance a PCI-E 1x (1 channel)would be able to move half the data in a given time as a 2x (2 channels)slot. The 1x or 2x channels still operate at the same speed. PCI-E is a whole new technology and rethinking of busses. As far as a recommendation for NIC's, Intel is the one to beat but they are pricey. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You've sent this email to me, and left only my name in the attributions as if I were someone suggesting either dd or diskinfo as accurate benchmarks, when in fact my contribution was to suggest unixbench and sandra-lite. Maybe you hate those too, in which case you can quote what I said in-context and rubbish that at your pleasure. The OP sent poor-throughput dd stats, and I explained why they were poor. The OP then complained that diskinfo -t stats weren't up to snuff, so I contributed mine because they were comparable and I couldn't see why he(?) didn't like his(?). I would contend that the statement all the other benchmarks you've run are useless is grandiose over-generalisation. Both dd (with a sensible blocksize) and diskinfo -t will give you useful information. One might be an idiot to trust the data to several decimal places, but if the result from both was, say, a transfer rate of 5Mb/s when you expected 50Mb/s, you could conclude that something was up. Of course neither mimics real-world behaviour; but both likely provide reasonable maxima. You may find that useless, but with no explanation for your reasoning, your statement isn't terribly helpful. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: question on leaf ports
On 3/2/06, Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi gang. Does a leaf port have no build dependants or no run dependants? I want to be assured that I can remove a leaf port but not have to put it back in order to upgrade another port. Utilities such as portmaster show leaf ports and I'm not sure what it's really telling me. I think the traditional sense of a leaf means no run dependants, as this seems to be the only kind of dependency registered in pkgdb. Consult the docs of your particular port management app. Just be sure to look through the list of leafs though. gmake for example isn't required by any port to run (at least none of mine) but a lot of ports need it to build. So removing it would be kind of pointless. Also, I use pkg_rmleaves and it offers to remove ports like vim, screen, and rsync, which I obviously want, but nothing else relies on.

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. 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.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] May I ask if you donned your flame-retardant undies before pushing the SEND button? 'Cause you may be setting yourself up --- it's possible to view this question as trolling. ;-) I would maintain that FreeBSD isn't terribly difficult to install. But if by prompts you mean 6.49 Yes/No type questions, the answer is, of course not. It's a tad more like Christmas Eve: put the kids to bed, collect the tools, open the box, RTFM, and put it together before dawn. The reason is, FreeBSD wouldn't be so flexible with only a dozen or so options for installation*. The fact is, you do a lot of configuration up front, and then fire and forget to a certain extent (insofar as a server is concerned). The very fine FreeBSD Handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook) devotes a chapter to installation, and following these directions closely should allow you to install FreeBSD without too many headaches. With a little experience, one can install FreeBSD on CDROM from scratch in a put together system in much less than 15 minutes. Using a custom script, I can clone a system in about 3 seconds of machine/human interaction and a round of drinks wait time. There are a few projects that attempt to put FreeBSD into a more user-friendly container, with an installer more similar to what you might be used to from interaction with that other OS. Google for PCBSD and DesktopBSD. One of those is better than the other in design, by my understanding, but I can't remember which. You might pop into ##freebsd on irc://chat.freenode.net and get an opinon; IIRC, that's where I saw it discussed a few weeks ago. Also, IIRC, you can use the FreesBIE LiveCD to not only run the OS from CDROM, but also to install the system, but the installer is pretty much the same (in terms of questions/ options, though a good deal prettier) than FreeBSD's sysinstall.

It's in ports under benchmarks/iozone. http://www.iozone.org/ Please can you be careful when you attribute your comments. You've sent this email to me, and left only my name in the attributions as if I were someone suggesting either dd or diskinfo as accurate benchmarks, when in fact my contribution was to suggest unixbench and sandra-lite. Maybe you hate those too, in which case you can quote what I said in-context and rubbish that at your pleasure. Yes I see your point, it does look like I'm replying to something you wrote. This was a oversight and I am sorry. The OP sent poor-throughput dd stats, and I explained why they were poor. The OP then complained that diskinfo -t stats weren't up to snuff, so I contributed mine because they were comparable and I couldn't see why he(?) didn't like his(?). I would contend that the statement all the other benchmarks you've run are useless is grandiose over-generalisation. Both dd (with a sensible blocksize) and diskinfo -t will give you useful information. One might be an idiot to trust the data to several decimal places, but if the result from both was, say, a transfer rate of 5Mb/s when you expected 50Mb/s, you could conclude that something was up. Of course neither mimics real-world behaviour; but both likely provide reasonable maxima. You may find that useless, but with no explanation for your reasoning, your statement isn't terribly helpful. Yes, well you see it's a long story :-) By sheer happenstance over the night had I drive fail on the array I ran the diskinfo test on, if I would have check my email I'd have know this. So when I logged into the system via ssh and ran the test I did not know that the array (RAID5, 8 disks, SATAII, PCI-X) was operating in degraded mode. Having run extensive iozone testing on this array when I first designed it I just assumed diskinfo was lying when it said I was getting 70MB/s transfers, I was getting sustained read transfer rates of 105MB/s on a 650GB test file back when it only had 4 drives. This is the reason I said diskinfo was useless, however, I still feel that diskinfo is sorta useless because it only shows you the tip of the iceberg. A tool such as iozone is much more useful for getting accurate numbers for the entire disk subsystem. Do you know how disk caching effects your system? Do you know what FreeBSD, and it's tunable setting, can do to your file system? Best stripe and block size for your needs? iozone can tell you all of this and more. Remember that 105MB/s number I quoted above?, that's just the sustained read transfer rate for a big ass file, I don't need to work with big ass files. I need to work with 15MB files (+/- 5MB). After buying the right disks, controller, mainboard etc. and lots of tuning with the help of iozone I get: 200 - 350MB/s overall (read, write, etc.) for files less then or equal to 64MB*. So anyways, that's what iozone can do for you. google it and you'll find out more stuff about it. *in a 4 disk setup running FreeBSD 5.4, I have 8 disks today and run FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE. so those numbers went up because I have 4 more disks and the file system speed improvements to the FreeBSD 6.x line, but I have not benchmarked the improvements because the server is in production now. -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, read man savecore again, esp the part about minfree in /var/crash free kilobytes for non-superusers in the file system after the copies would be made. Thanks Denny, that was 100% correct.

FreeBSD CD
Sir, FreeBSD CDs should be distributed freely. There are two reasons for that: 1. People either buy Windows CD or burns Linux CDs from computer magazines. Those magazines distribute Fedora Core, Slackware but never distributes FreeBSD. 2. In my country Internet access is costly. I cannot afford to buy low price FreeBSD CDs. So please distribute CD(s) for AMD-64 platform.

RE: rebooting and crashes on dell server
I run software packages like this on many boxes without trouble. In any case, getting a user-mode program to make the system randomly reboot is rather difficult even for the crackers that are trying to do it. And your going to have log messages and such indicating what the problem is. You need to load an OS supported by Dell - ie: Windows - on this system first and run some stress-testers on it and see if it locks up. If it does not then try Linux and if that works, you either use Linux or call Dell and tell them to make it work with FreeBSD or your going to return the server to Dell. You have 30 days from date of purchase to do this per UCC. This should serve as a learning experience for you. In the future do not buy server hardware that was not designed for the software you want to run. That is Information Technology 101. There are many people that build and sell servers they guarentee with FreeBSD, and even HP tests their server products with FreeBSD, you can see that on the website: http://www.testdrive.hp.com, Hell they even have the Beastie logo on the front page. I challenge you to find Beastie on any server that Dell as any control over. Dell doesen't even have a FreeBSD forum on their support page. As far as they are concerned it's Windows or Linux. When you buy new server hardware from Dell you are rewarding Dell for ignoring FreeBSD and you are punishing HP who is supporting FreeBSD. That is pretty stupid if you want to support FreeBSD and a slap in the face to the FreeBSD community. It is one thing to buy old crappy Dell gear and try to get it to run, but brand new gear? What were you thinking? Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of BSD Guy Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 9:45 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: rebooting and crashes on dell server Theres alot to this problem, but I'll try to be concise so I don't loose people. I started out with a cheap dell server running scsi raid and 5.x It crashed or locked up with a kernel panic in a different process (everything, syslog, you name it) ever few days. I swapped ram around figuring it was at fault since it was bought used on ebay. Still no luck. Tired of messing with it, I bought a new dell poweredge 2650, with scsi raid, a couple gigs of ram, duals, and just a new system, configured it, copied user data over and switched to it. Sure enough still the worst stability I've ever seen. It has dual power supplies, each in a different UPS. I don't believe power is the problem or I'd see similar problems on the other server or router I have plugged in there. I even upgraded to 6.0-Release-p1 but no luck. It panics from time to time, but usually now it just randomly reboots. Often at least every 36 hours. Often 2-3 times a few minutes apart when it does. I did install a debug kernel 2 weeks ago to try to get a crash dump, but no panic's since then. My make.conf is pretty simple: KERNCONF=crapbox CPUTYPE?=p4 CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_BLUETOOTH= true# do not build Bluetooth related stuff NO_I4B= true# do not build isdn4bsd package NO_LPR= true# do not build lpr and related programs NO_GAMES=true# do not build games (games/ subdir) MAKE_IDEA= YES # IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption) # added by use.perl 2005-09-29 11:26:41 PERL_VER=5.8.7 PERL_VERSION=5.8.7 Its not all that stressed of a box: load averages: 0.14, 0.07, 0.06 Mem: 235M Active, 367M Inact, 160M Wired, 33M Cache, 99M Buf, 81M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free I've tweaked all the kernel values mentioned in the tuneable section of the manual, but the reboots continue. The box runs radiator (a perl based radius server), apache+mod_ssl-1.3.x with php5, postfix-2.2, amavisd-new-2.3, courier-imap-4.0, pure-ftp, nrpe (nagios), net-snmp, ssh, and bind 9.3.1 all from ports (except radiator). I run the same mail server setup on another server with no problem, although it processes far less mail. I use radiator on another server with no problem. This is a unique combination of packages I'm running, but no unique programs or configurations to this server. Between amavis and radiator it does alot of perl, and everything is a mysql lookup to another server. While all logic and experience points to a hardware problem I feel like the complete hardware replacement has pretty much laid the blame on software. I'm open to any suggestion as to what I might need to look at to clear this up. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown and insteall debian in desperation heh. I've tried a kernel without smp, I've tried disabling acpi on boot. If you need any more information feel free to ask for it, I'll happily provide it. Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RE: Does FreeBSD have problems with SCSI CD-drives ??
They changed the cd boot standard to be an inclusive one, now both new scsi and atapi readers can boot from the same cd. The older scsi readers used a different boot standard. If you google you can find some 3-4 year old discussion about this issue. People that assemble their own PCs from parts they have usually are the first to find these incompatabilites out. I don't know of a single builder today that uses SCSI cd's in a new athlon system so I am betting 10 to one your reader is left over from an older system, or you bought everything separately. Not that this is bad, but people who choose to deviate from the cookie cutter piece-o-craps that Dell and HP squeeze out, should not whine and complain when unexpected things happen - if your a big enough boy to put together your own system, instead of sucking down the canned crap that's out there, your expected to fix your own problems. The source code is available, use it.

Probably should've said that I have no problems booting from all other bootCDs I've tried... even windows manages to do it (which in itself is amazing since it dislikes SCSI greatly). I never had any problems with Linux, FreeBSD on the other hand seems to be a bit more nitpicking... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just annoying when you can't install it easily. Rene Derek Ragona wrote: I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS, etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD.
