Re: mount msdosfs with hal

If I mount it manually, it should be mount_msdosfs -D=CP936 -L=zh_CN.eucCN /dev/xxx /mountpoint. So my question is how to set the things right? I think I need to modify some fdi files, but just can not figure out. You need to add '-L=zh_CN.eucCN' in /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options with gedit.

what we can learn from it is that on 7.1 BETA your rc.conf.local file
should look like this
ntpd_config=/etc/ntpd.conf
ntpd_flags=-p /var/run/ntpd.pid
hope that explains

Almost.
Look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
ntpd_config=/etc/ntp.conf # ntpd(8) configuration file
ntpd_sync_on_start=NO # Sync time on ntpd startup, even if offset
is
high
ntpd_flags=-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift
# Flags to ntpd (if enabled).
99% of the cases you don't need ntpd_flags. Only if you want the drift file
in
a different location or use one of the more obscure options.
In fact it might even be considered a bug that
-f /var/db/ntpd.drift is included in the default
flags. If someone wants to override the default
location of the drift file, it is much better to
specify it in the ntp.conf file.

The important thing is that the root file system must be partition a in the label, because this is hardcoded in the boot loader (and probably in a few other places, too). The boot loader then hands the location of the root file system to the kernel. (However, it is possible to override it, so in fact you can have a root file system different from the file system containing /boot. This is how booting with rootfs on ZFS works.) Later in the process, the /etc/rc script (and its children in /etc/rc.d/*) uses information from /etc/fstab to locate the root file system for fsck and to remount it read/write. Of course it is identified by its mountpoint (/), not by the position of the entry within /etc/fstab. So the order in /etc/fstab really doesn't matter.

Read the system logs, basically. /var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log (if you've enabled it). The shutdown(8) command will always write syslog messages when invoked. halt(8) or reboot(8) will write a 'shutdown' record into wtmp (ie. look at 'last shutdown') but don't log anything to syslog. However, you're quite likely to find that there is nothing in the log or wtmp files to explain what happened. All this means is that the system went down suddenly -- perhaps power dropped out momentarily, or a thermal cutout tripped or the system panic'd for one of any number of reasons. You'ld be able to detect log file traces showing fsck(8) being run on the root f/s following any of those sort of unclean shutdowns, and if the system panic'd then you may well have a core dump sitting in /var/db/crash -- depends whether you've enabled that functionality or not.

two nics each with dsl and the third for LAN and am not able to get any milage out of one dsl.
I just inherited a second dsl line and don't have a server to connect it too so I have it connected to a third nic that I have in the Dell that has the first dsl connection and the LAN. I have been running pf on the two nics with nat and squid in transparent proxy mode without any issues. My problem is that I haven't come up with a way to really take advantage of the new dsl to reduce traffic on the first. I'm not even dreaming of load balancing just sharing some of the load. I had thought about trying to get squid to use the second connection but my feeble attempts at redirecting it haven't made much sense nor have they worked. Most of our traffic is outgoing rather than incoming, if that helps. I'm sure someone else must have a similar setup and are doing better than I. Anything is better than nothing.

Segmentation fault when free
Hi all
I'm running FreeBSD 7 on i386. I have a C program compiled with gcc 4.2.1
20070719.
Logically my program is:
char *a;
char *b;
char *c;
while (cond)
{
a = f1(); /* malloc() and send a string */
b = f2(); /* malloc() and send a string */
c = (char *) malloc(strlen(a) + strlen(b) + 1);
c[0] = '\0';
strcat(c, a);
strcat(c, b);
free(a);
free(b);
}
When it executes free(b), my program exits with Segmentation fault: 11. The
free(a) executes well.
The problem is with free(b). Even swap free(b) first and free(a) next, it still
crashes at free(b).
If I comment out free() lines, further down the program, first few characters
of one string get dropped when executes a completely unrelated line.
How could I bit more narrow down the problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Unga

Realtek 8111C?
Hi, I'd like to confirm my understanding of current status on this NIC. It seems, based on some searching, the current Realtek driver in FreeBSD doesn't support the 8111C, and that although the vendor-supplied driver _may_ work for older 5.x and 6.0 releases (if one can get it compiled, I couldn't), it doesn't work in 6.3 or 7. So the RTL8111C is effectively not supported. True? I picked up a nice little Atom board to use as a low-power NAS, and unfortunately just assumed the onboard Realtek NIC was supported. Unfortunately I don't have a PCI slot on this mobo to use a different NIC.

I thought kill -9 (or kill -KILL) would kill any process. Even the manual page for kill, kill(1), says that this signal is non-catchable, non-ignorable. In my experience, there's only one condition that will cause this (perhaps those more experienced here than I know of others). This can happen when your process blocks on pending file I/O. The process opens a file descriptor, could even be a socket, and leaves it marked as blocking. The kernel then blocks the process while awaiting I/O in the buffers. In this blocked state, the signal is prevented from being delivered. If you left the process open long enough, perhaps assuming it's not completely hung, the process would get what it's waiting for (hopefully), then move on. At that very moment, the kill signal would be delivered and the process would die (as you wanted it to so very long ago when you delivered that signal to it). I don't run xmms so perhaps some other kind soul here will know what's going on. However, that's why your process didn't die.

I haven't figured out how to ps -ax grep | some neublous file dialog process yet...so I'm sort of stuck wanting to kill the parent... If you can't kill a process (even with SIGKILL), it means that the process currently can't be put on the run queue, because only processes that are able to run can receive signals. Given that, such a situation usually has one of these three reasons: 1. The process hangs in disk wait (flag D in ps' STAT column). This often means there's a hardware problem with your disk or controller (or a driver bug), or a network problem if you use NFS. 2. The process was suspended (SIGSTOP). In this case there is the flag T in ps' STAT column. Try sending a SIGCONT to the process. 3. The process terminated, but the parent process failed to pick up the exit code. In this case, the process needs to retain an entry in the process table (shown by ps) in order to record the exit code until it is picked up, even though the process itself is gone. Such a dead entry in the process table is called a zombie process. In ps' STAT column there is the Z flag. This usually indicates a programming error (a.k.a. bug) in the parent process. You can get rid of the zombie by killing the parent process. Then the zombie will be inherited by the next process in the hierarchy (up to the init process 1 if required) which will then pick up the exit code and release the process entry. There can be other reasons on occasion, but those three are the most common ones. Simply look at the STAT column in the ps(1) output for the process in question. It will tell you the reason why the process is stuck. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

xorg gfx card: amd64+xvideo+decent 2d performance
Hey, I've been trying to find anything that fits the bill. My only requirements are: * That it works with amd64 (on FreeBSD, obviously). * That it supports Xvideo. * That it has decent 2D performance. * That it works with wide screen resolutions (so I guess basically modern hardware + modern driver). Unfortunately, the 'nv' driver has significant performance issues so nVidia cards are out. I love what ATI is doing with the radeonhd driver, but no Xvideo yet. I know Matrox used to be a good bet, but apparantly modern cards require binary blobs. I hear good things about Intel chipsets, but then I cannot find any cards that have them (only integrated on motherboards, which puts too much of a constraint on the choice of motherboard). Anyone got any recommendations? -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org pgpCf9QdpgTXd.pgp Description: PGP signature

When it executes free(b), my program exits with
Segmentation fault: 11. The free(a) executes well.
The problem is with free(b). Even swap free(b) first and

If I comment out free() lines, further down the program,
first few characters of one string get dropped when executes
a completely unrelated line.
How could I bit more narrow down the problem?

Encrypted disk on a server
I have a headless FreeBSD server at home serving as NAS, http server, proxy, vpn server, etc. Due to the way network infrastructure is organized the server is located in an easily accessible place (actually outside my apartment) and I am afraid it might be stolen. It's a cheap old PC, so I am mostly worried about data stored on it. What is the most convenient way of securing this data (besides moving the machine :)? Encrypting the whole disk? How would I provide the password? I am not a geek, so I would prefer a how-to or an easier solution than a lightweight sshd on /boot about which I read on the web. Maybe encrypting /home is enough?

Re: two nics each with dsl and the third for LAN and am not able to get any milage out of one dsl.
I just inherited a second dsl line and don't have a server to connect it too so I have it connected to a third nic that I have in the Dell that has the first dsl connection and the LAN. I have been running pf on the two nics with nat and squid in transparent proxy mode without any issues. My problem is that I haven't come up with a way to really take advantage of the new dsl to reduce traffic on the first. I'm not even dreaming of load balancing just sharing some of the load. I had thought about trying to get squid to use the second connection but my feeble attempts at redirecting it haven't made much sense nor have they worked. Most of our traffic is outgoing rather than incoming, if that helps. I'm sure someone else must have a similar setup and are doing better than I. Anything is better than nothing. Basically, I think and hope that I am just drowning in a glass of water. Thanks for any suggestions. ed it all well depends on how many wires you need to make your boss happy. if you feel like u can be replaced with a router maybe you should start making half-way websites rather than doing 2 way internet connections. but there is a shoe for every foot. i actually admire the creativity of the pf coders. i hope you have at least 2 gateways. please don't drown. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/pools.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ntpd and GPS
On 9/19/08, Tom Storey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Ive been toying with setting up my old Garmin GPS12 as a reference for a server (FreeBSD 6.2) running ntpd, but Ive run into an issue. Is it possible the issue isn't what you think it is? Ive searched around a bit and cant find an answer, perhaps because there isnt one. I once (years ago) had a Garmin GPS working with ntpd, so it's reasonable to believe it can be done again, unless support for that capability was dropped (which I doubt). Unfortunately, it was long enough ago that I don't remember what I did. It's possible I used the 1 PPS output without NMEA sentences, but that's not my recollection. Is there any way I can set ntpd to expect a $GPRMC string every 2 seconds, which is the frequency at which the GPS12 transmits them? Alternatively, does anyone know how to make the GPS12 transmit a $GPRMC string every second? I'm almost certain you can't. The complete set of all NMEA sentences takes more than one second at the default 4800 baud, so IIRC it outputs sentences only on odd seconds, and perhaps the older units are too slow to compute a fix once per second. Two things that may work around this are to turn off everything except the GPRMC sentence: $PGRMO,,2 $PGRMO,GPRMC,1 and perhaps free up some CPU time (for faster position calculation) by (oddly enough) reducing the output data rate to 1200 bps: $PGRMC,,1, but I don't think that will actually work. To go back to 4800 bps, use 3 instead of 1. I think there are 11 commas after the C in that command, but my eyes aren't so sharp any more. There is a Linux driver for the Garmin proprietary protocol. Don't know if it is distributed in a FreeBSD version. Try http://jensar.us/~bob/garmin/ If there is a better place I can post this, please let me know. This is probably a good place for this question, but if you don't get a better answer, try the archives of the time nuts mailing list https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts which unfortunately appears to be down right now. General info about that group is at http://www.leapsecond.com/time-nuts.htm If that yields nothing, you might post your question to the Time Nuts list, time-nuts @ febo.com. It is probably a FAQ for them, but they will be polite about it. And I had hoped to once again stick an old Garmin on an NTP server, so I'll be curious to know if this turns out to be insurmountable.

file. The f1() and f2() calls some functions from a 500 lines third file. The
main program call another function, f3(), from 2nd file, pass pointers to two
functions f4(), f5() of main program. The while loop iterate more than one
million times. Its quite a complex situation.
There must be an error somewhere else. I noted free() causes lot of troubles.
It is easy to write complex programs if you just let to leak memory. But in my
case, since the program iterate millions of times, if I let to leak, I'm sure
it will run out of RAM.
So the question is, if you were to encounter this issue, how would you approach
it and find the culprit?
I'm using pretty basic tools to write complex programs. I use Kate to write
programs, Makefiles to compile, use GCC, and use ddd in case of a trouble.

Unga

Re: ntpd and GPS
Thanks Bob. I did a bit more reading, and it seems that I can turn on additional sentences in the driver. Ive been studying the NMEA output and there are two sentences which will give time figures across two subsequent seconds, so I tried enabling those (mode 6 in the server statement), but still no dice. I can see all of the correct sentences being picked up in ntpq using the clocklist command, but it just doesnt seem to want to work. Essentially my GPS reference just sits like this: building# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter = = = = = = resolv.internod 128.250.33.242 2 u 72 256 17 19.343 36.263 37.083 sparky.services 131.203.16.6 2 u 64 256 17 24.882 0.279 18.807 GPS_NMEA(0) .GPS.0 l- 6400.000 0.000 4000.00 Which I assume means nope, not working. Is PPS absolutely neccessary? The GPS12 doesnt have PPS, so perhaps this is my issue? The output of NMEA seems to happen every 1.5 seconds, but there are 3 sentences which output a time figure, so I figured I'd enable the two furthest apart in the hope that they may coincide with different seconds, and hopefully ntpd would be able to work it out from that. I even tried enabling all 3 of them (mode 7), but still nothing. Anyway, Im looking at grabbing a Garmin GPS18 LVC, they are only just over $100 so no biggie. People have reported wide success with this device, so I think I'll still with what is known to work and go from there.

To go back to 4800 bps, use 3 instead of 1. I think there are 11 commas after the C in that command, but my eyes aren't so sharp any more. There is a Linux driver for the Garmin proprietary protocol.

It is probably a FAQ for them, but they will be polite about it. And I had hoped to once again stick an old Garmin on an NTP server, so I'll be curious to know if this turns out to be insurmountable.

Re: ntpd and GPS
Ok, it was nothing like what I was thinking. Turns out my GPS didnt have a fix on anything. It was getting signals, but no fix. :-) Now that I have it mounted on a pole outside, hey presto: building# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter = = = = = = +resolv.internod 128.250.33.242 2 u 50 64 377 18.121 -1.127 14.549 *sparky.services 131.203.16.6 2 u 56 64 377 21.275 -9.704 15.235 GPS_NMEA(0) .GPS.0 l3 6410.000 -442.78 0.002 Cheers for your help. I'll keep tweaking it now until I get it working just right (jitter is incrementing and Im sure thats not a good thing).
