I wouldn't term SCSI as premium. Maybe it used to be, but these days machines are so cheap anyway. Nearly all our x86 boxes have Intel NICs. I haven't had problems with them. the specific nfs issues are related to mounting linux filesystems, I am not the only one there is dozens of posts on these mailing lists from users with the same problems, usually livelocks or panics caused by mounting nfs filesystems on freebsd most seem to have no resolution. Funnily enough, I thought you were going to say you were mounting a Linux NFS server. It is not surprising that Linux client to Linux server goes together better than FreeBSD client to Linux server. It could of course be the Linux NFS server implementation that is buggy, rather than the FreeBSD client. As I've said, mounting NetApp filers I have no problems at all. realtek isnt great hardware but is that a good reason for realtek performing significantly worse then on linux, shouldnt it be on par? I don't know. I haven't compared them. They are simply not high performance network cards. I issues of performance been worse, the biggest example is probably mysql and uniprocessor performance, I understand with ule 2.0 mysql performance is signficantly better so there is hope there, I would like to see more performance from uniprocessor and the mp safe support on nics set to disabled by default to put stability first. Well, I agree with you on this. MySQL performance on FreeBSD is acceptable for my purposes (not usually intensive), but it is not as good as Linux. I've read as much about this as possible, and tried using options and thread libraries. But this has not fixed the problem. But, on many other things I don't see a performance problem at all. I think it's important to give exact examples rather than saying performance has been worse. If you said MySQL performance is worse. I've seen a performance problem with ClamAV. Funnily enough, both ClamAV and MySQL are threaded applications, so I'm guessing that the FreeBSD threading is the source (cause) of the performance problem for these apps. The installer well that comes down to using a variety of datacentres, quite often datacentre staff are not too well trained and mainly used to redhat and windows gui installers, so when it comes to freebsd there is many datacentres who dont even support freebsd when I ask is because they say it wont install, the ones that do support freebsd the feedback I get off them is often related to both the installer been a pain for them and hardware compatibility. One of our Windows techies learned how to do a FreeBSD install in fifteen minutes. If someone really cannot learn it, they shouldn't be anywhere near datacentres. If they can't handle the FreeBSD install, I have no idea how they would handle Solaris, which is much less friendly and definitely belongs in datacentres. And Solaris on non-Sun hardware has less compatibiltiy than FreeBSD. How much testing goes into heavy workloads such as heavy apache loads and DDOS attacks? I don't know. But you are free to vounteer to do this! I expect my server to not livelock and come back to responsiveness after such loads without having to reboot it. Freebsd 4.x was incredibly stable under heavy ddos attacks, freebsd 5.x held out but of course was very slow on UP, freebsd 6.x is faster but has suffered stability problems. I agree that the 4.x series was (is) very stable - we still have some in use. On the performance side get the sata and raid problems sorted for improved hd performance tagged ququeing etc. Is there a sort of hire a dev button on the freebsd website? I guess you could make a contribution to the foundation.

Yes, read find(1) man.
In short:
find ${DIRECTORY} -mtime 8
This will give you the files which were modified 8 days before
in directory ${DIRECTORY}.
find ${DIRECTORY} -mtime -8
This will give you the files which were modified 8 days ago
and afterwards in directory ${DIRECTORY}.
There is also -newerXY option which might be interesting.

You have a lot of people out there installing on systems that have, for example, monitors with inadequate horizontal/vertical frequency ranges and very capabable video cards, unless you force the X-server to use the original VGA resolution, it's going to overdrive those monitors and the user is going to see a black screen when the installation program comes up. And the only way FreeBSD is going to get a graphical anything is by using Xorg, and FreeBSD does not maintain that distribution - so we are now dependent on the Xorg group writing their code with no bugs for our installation program to work. While I admit that sysinstall could be polished at the rough edges, I vote for a non-graphical installer for server aimed installations. I see no practical reason to have an X based installer for a server installation at all, with all the heavy stuff that's necessary for it. Please leave that to the desktop oriented BSD distributions. I wonder how many server admins would like to see an X based installer. I rather would propose a clear distinction (communicated to new users) between desktop aimed distributions and server based ones, where the first category would be the current distribution of FreeBSD, with a nice graphical installer, a window manager, drivers for most sound, usb, wireless and video devices, and desktop applications added to it. I am not familiar with desktopBSD and Freesbie, but I can imagine that these are already working in that direction. (I am using FreeBSD-current as a desktop OS on a laptop, but it required some days of tweaking to get sound, touchpad usb mouse, 1280x800 resolution and wireless networking running.)

Re: Why is sysinstall considered end-of-life?
Niek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: 3) The largest complaint about sysinstall is that it's not graphical. The problem is that a graphical installation program has some -severe- constraints on it. First, it has to work in ALL instances. That means, 640x480x16 colors VGA screen. You have a lot of people out there installing on systems that have, for example, monitors with inadequate horizontal/vertical frequency ranges and very capabable video cards, unless you force the X-server to use the original VGA resolution, it's going to overdrive those monitors and the user is going to see a black screen when the installation program comes up. And the only way FreeBSD is going to get a graphical anything is by using Xorg, and FreeBSD does not maintain that distribution - so we are now dependent on the Xorg group writing their code with no bugs for our installation program to work. While I admit that sysinstall could be polished at the rough edges, I vote for a non-graphical installer for server aimed installations. Nobody is going to put a graphical-only installer in FreeBSD. How do people get that idea? Currently, FreeBSD's installer runs on standard VGA graphics cards, on monochrome Hercules cards, on serial VT100 terminals, maybe even on hardcopy terminals and everything else that you could imagine. Not to mention the scriptability for easy installation of a larger number of headless machines. And all of that won't change. If the installer -- sysinstall or other -- will support graphical mode one day, it will be an addition, not a replacement. For example, look at the BSD installer that's used by DragonFly BSD: It consists of the actual code that performas the various installation actions (and is also scriptable), and supports a number of front- ends. The standard front-end is curses-based and will run in text mode on any VGA and serial terminal. But you could as well have a graphical front-end or a web- based front-end. Or one that communicates with your cell-phone. Or whatever else you could think of. All based on the same installer code (back-end). If FreeBSD grows a new installer, I' sure it will use similar concepts. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

I know that there is an intent to allow you to back up any time (as long as you haven't passed a point of no return like writing the disklabel) and make changes and add or subtract things, but still, it could make it more clear what stage you are at, what is finished and what is next to do, etc. But, as others have said, I have found it to be quite functional and installation really quite easy outside of some of the awkwardnesses.

I would hear the same music in both the speaker and the earphone. I'm using Ariff Abdullah's snd_hda driver on 6.2-RC2.

Apparently the laptop uses the same hole for both plugging in a stereo microphone and plugging in a SPDIF device. Also, none of the items in the mixer helps: they raise or drop both the speaker+earphone volume simultaneously. This is not a software issue. Some jacks are built with a make-and-break setup. With that, when the plug goes in, it presses back a contact that functions as a switch for some other circuit - in this case, one that drives the onboard speaker - thus disconnecting it whil the plug is in. Apparently your new piece of hardware does not have that feature. Probably they were cheaping out by a few cents. The only fix is to replace the jack. Unfortunately it is probably built in, in such a way as to be very difficult to replace. Actually i had this same problem with the first version of Ariff's driver which went away when I used a later version. I would have thought it a hardware issue as Jerry suggests if I didnt have my system as a dual boot (it worked fine in windows.) are you using the latest version from http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ if not then its worth a try. it could be worth asking on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the link listed suggests the the information you should supply.

4.10-stable nameserver strange behavior
Hi: How I refresh a system binary? More specifically, I think I may have a compromised(?) named in /usr/sbin but what I have in /usr/obj should be fine; if not I still have it in /usr/src and can rebuild/reinstall it. So how would I do the named only part of an installworld? Or, to take it another step back, how to do the named only part of a buildworld, followed by the named only part of an installworld? I have the dead-tree versions of both the Handbook Lehey's book. Or, where might I find this/these procedures documented? Actually, what has really happened is a wierdness I'm trying to correct: (Maybe my named has been compromised somehow but there have been no messages in the nightly security runs.) In the wee hours of the morning, my upstream cablemodem provider dhcp'ed me a new ip-address. Ok, fine... (Dhclient seems working fine from what the system log tcpdump are showing.) I can ping/traceroute (to) my system from outside (proper stuff shows up in tcpdump too) but I can't ping/traceroute *from* my system to anywhere (not even by ip-address). I can ping myself (the newly assigned ip-address just fine. Hmm, name service isn't working correctly (I run a local cache-only DNS, BIND 8.3.7, ya, old but someday...), so I kill restart named. The appropriate named startup messages appear in the messages-log, e.g. listening on [new ip-address]. Here's the wierd part: tcpdump shows DNS priming requests (to the various *.root-servers.net addresses) with a *source* ip of my *previous* ip-address, not the new one. So far, *no* NS requests show the proper source address; they all show the old ip-address not the new one. Also, so far, behavior survives reloading, restarting completely killing restarting named. Umm... what else can I think of... No external IPs are in the named config and/or zone files, only local 192.168 127 things. I can't find any zombie processes so far(?)

Yes, they dont solve this whatsoever. Its a severely broken code issue in the attr caching mechanism. Honest..give it a shot.

Use of CVS
I have a medium sized application where the source is all in a CVS repository. Basically it works great as I am able to retrieve any previous version of a module when needed. Most of the changes to the application are quickly resolved, CVS committed and the production system updated in less than a day. Recently, I made a fairly large update to the application that took about 4 weeks to complete. During that time I was not able to fix small problems as there was no way to update the production system without incorporating a large number of changes from the new update that were just not working yet. Basically all small corrections were made to the new system but not incorporated into the production system until the new stuff was completed. There were no real problems from this, but it was not really convenient. Now I am going to be embarking on a revision that will take about 6 months to complete. Obviously I will not be able to wait till the completion to fix minor problems. So I am going to need to do something with branches. I have dug through the man pages and believe that is the best approach. However, given that I need to maintain the current version with a probably small number of fixes during the development process what is the best approach? Should I branch off the production version as a new branch and keep the main one for the new development or the other way around. Will it be easier to merge the fixes to the production branch back in to the new system later or should those fixes be made to both branches at the same time? Any suggestions on these approaches will be appreciated.

Re: Use of CVS
On 2007-01-11 11:35, Doug Hardie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a medium sized application where the source is all in a CVS repository. Basically it works great as I am able to retrieve any previous version of a module when needed. Most of the changes to the application are quickly resolved, CVS committed and the production system updated in less than a day. Recently, I made a fairly large update to the application that took about 4 weeks to complete. During that time I was not able to fix small problems as there was no way to update the production system without incorporating a large number of changes from the new update that were just not working yet. Basically all small corrections were made to the new system but not incorporated into the production system until the new stuff was completed. There were no real problems from this, but it was not really convenient. Now I am going to be embarking on a revision that will take about 6 months to complete. Obviously I will not be able to wait till the completion to fix minor problems. So I am going to need to do something with branches. I have dug through the man pages and believe that is the best approach. Indeed. Branching and inter-branch merges can be a huge pain in the ass with CVS though. It may be worth investigating if one of the more modern SCM systems -- with better support for merges and merge tracking -- can help you keep the two 'branches' in sync. If you plan to heavily use branches, my personal preference would be Mercurial[1]. It takes a short while to get acquainted with a _distributed_ SCM, if you have been using CVS for a long time, but IMHO the benefits of offline development and excellent merging support (including merge-history tracking, rename tracking, and a few other goodies), far outweighs the cost of migration. [1] http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ However, given that I need to maintain the current version with a probably small number of fixes during the development process what is the best approach? Should I branch off the production version as a new branch and keep the main one for the new development or the other way around. There are two 'models' of work you can use with CVS: * The mainline model. * The promotion model. In the mainline model, all development happens in the HEAD branch of CVS, and when you are about to release a production version you spin off a 'release branch' off the main trunk of development. In the feature branch model, you branch early, and develop features *within* a feature branch. Some time later, these features branches get 'promoted' from feature branch, to testing branch, and eventually to release branch. Which model you will use depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is how often you will be developing many features in parallel, how long you will have to maintain 'release branches' after you have shipped from them, etc. Will it be easier to merge the fixes to the production branch back in to the new system later or should those fixes be made to both branches at the same time? Any suggestions on these approaches will be appreciated. In general, with CVS it's a lot easier to use the mainline model, where all development happens in HEAD. This doesn't mean that you cannot or that you should not evne consider the promotion model of feature branches though. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ezjail and ports
Hello, I've created three jails with ezjail on a 6.1 machine. When i did so i did not need ports, now i do in one of the jails. I've tried nullfs mounting the host system's /usr/ports tree, but it didn't automount on jail startup. So, i fetched a new copy of the ports tree in to /var/ports, but when i tried to install a port, bash3 in this case, the ports are referencing /usr/ports/share/MK which it can not find, that's a read-only symlink to the basejail filesystem. A side question, pinging the jail works fine from the host system, but nmapping it does not show anything even though i have running services. I've tried with and without the -P0 option. Does anyone have this working? Thanks.

On 2007-01-11 00:29, Lion G. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I have a weird question. In my previous many laptops, whenever I plug in the earphone, the laptop speaker would stop (and I would only hear music through the earphone) Which is what *should* happen. After all, when you plug headphones into the proper jack, it's a sort of 'signal' that you want to hear something without disturbing all the people around with it too :) When I asked: Is automute of headphone/speakers always handled by the snd_hda driver? Ariff explained why this happens to me by writing: It all depends on the internal wiring, codecs, vendor preferences, etc, but mostly yes, it is handled by the driver itself: cheaper, flexible. With my newest laptop (Acer Aspire 5050), the laptop speaker stays on no-matter-what. I would hear the same music in both the speaker and the earphone. I'm using Ariff Abdullah's snd_hda driver on 6.2-RC2. The driver reports: pcm0: ATI SB450 High Definition Audio Controller mem 0xc000-0xc0003fff irq 16 at device 20.2 on pci0 pcm0: HDA Codec: Realtek ALC883 pcm0: HDA Driver Revision: 20061210_0037 Try contacting Ariff. He is pretty responsive and he will most probably reply with a patch that fixes the problem for you. This is *exactly* what happened when I asked him about my own laptop, a Toshiba Satellite U200, which had the same 'bug'. The fix for my laptop is now part of FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/hda/hdac.c?rev=1.21content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Before contacting Ariff, it will be helpful (and will save you at least one round-trip of email exchanges), if you boot in ``verbose mode'', and save a copy of ``/var/run/dmesg.boot''. Then, make sure you include this file and the output of ``pciconf -lv'' in your report. Good luck, Giorgos pgpHInfAMaoEj.pgp Description: PGP signature

I agree with other posters, you may want to move to newer SCM systems... I've
been using SVN for a while now, and couldn't be happier. There's also a SVN red
book , with sections for current CVS users to understand the differences.
good luck :)

Just NFS-mount /usr/src from your master onto all the others. In fact, if you also share /usr/obj (or set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX appropriately so they all point to the same place), you can even buildworld on one, and just run installworld on all the others and skip the extra compiles. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for your reply. Compared to Linux tcpdump, FreeBSD is issuing
extra packets, those you mentioned. I have a Netopia modem
with RJ45 to a router or optical modem in the condo basement. From
there is an optical link to my ISP about 10km away who provides nothing
but email forwarding, a DHCP lease, and an internet connect.
I have included dumps from Linux and FreeBSD but I have not yet
finished all the tests you suggested. IPv6 is not enabled according to
the /etc/defaults. I tinkered with various options without making a
difference.
Thank you,
