Intel S3210SHLC motherboard and FreeBSD 7.0
Does anyone have any direct experience running FreeBSD on the Intel S3210SHLC motherboard? If so, what problems have you run into? I'm trying to use FreeBSD 7.0, but I don't know yet if the problems are specific to 7.0 or not. The DVD reader/writer is an LG GH20NS10 SATA drive. Motherboard BIOS is release 45, BMC is release 31, and FRUSDR is 13. As per another thread I started, creating a serial console installation CD is just not working for me, although I'm still pursuing it. I managed to install FreeBSD 7.0 using the standard installer CD (aka internal console), but any deviation from that seems impossible. Creating a bootable USB flash thumb drive doesn't work either, despite having enabled such functionality in BIOS. In fact, getting this motherboard to boot from a USB thumb drive doesn't seem to work whether it contains FreeBSD or something else entirely. I've had a couple of incidents where pressing the reset button actually powers down the server for 5 seconds or so before automatically powering back up. Not a big deal, but doesn't instill confidence in this motherboard.

ZFS on root with atime=off
Hi everyone, I install ZFS on root just like in Andrew ZFSOnRoot wiki page. I don't use legacy mount points. I also set atime=off on tank and all partitions inherit it from tank. When I reboot after install, root file system is mounted with atime option: # zfs get atime tank NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE tank atime on temporary I can fix this with creating entry in fstab for root fs with noatime, but maybe there is some way how to pass options to vfs.root.mountfrom? -- regards, Artis Caune .

Any entity, or corporation, has a right to expect a return on their investment. To expect a corporation to simply give away something, thereby depriving their shareholders, partners or whatever, of their rightfully expected monetary reward is foolish. It certainly is not a well thought out business model. First, in cases like this, giving out the specs so someone can write a good driver could increase their sales of cards which could, in turn, increase their profit.So, it would help their business rather than hurt it. They do not sell those drivers. They just use them to sell video cards.Since the lack of a driver that works in FreeBSD limits their sales of video cards, then they are making the business mistake you are indicating, only in a reverse sort of way. Second, and very important.No corporation has any right to expect a return on their investment. Investment is always a risk. They might hope for a return, but they will have to work for it. They will be fortunate to get it. More business ventures fail than succeed. Maybe it is only a case of using the wrong word, but it is still important to remember that there is no guarantee of profit. That was the big failing of price controls - that the government got in to the business of guaranteeing profits and then the whole thing fell apart. Ok, so this is in reply to the previous message on this thread as well as this one. Based on what is said here (and I agree totally), then the NDA would be only on the actually insider specs of the card- you'd have to be a savant to extrapolate the actual guts of the card solely based on the driver (in particular the special features in the hardware- if they're not public knowledge anyway). So why the big hush hush then? NDA signed and obviously a contract drawn which everyone agrees to- manufacturer and programmer. Any reason why this wouldn't work?

Note that active works with the ruleset you provided (due to the pass out

On Thu, 2 Oct 2008 13:14:35 -0400 Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've never been 100% clear on the exact differences, but it basically has to do with where the data in RAM came from. Depending on whether it was a VM page, or a disk page will determine what bucket it goes into when it moves out of active. The distinction is between clean pages (Cache) and dirty pages (Inactive), a dirty page needs to be written to swap or synced to the disk, before it can be reused. It's the cache queue that gives the kernel liquidity, once the free memory is drops below about 2%. It actively balances the cache and inactive queues to maintain this. I'm fairly sure that inactive is memory used by program code. Inactive and cached queues are the first step to recycling memory. The queues don't differentiate between different origins. When the program terminates, the memory is marked as inactive, which means the next time the program starts the code can simply be moved back to active and the program need not be reloaded from disk. I think such pages can remain active. The level of active memory seems to be mostly a matter of stock-control. When I shutdown Xorg/KDE, huge amounts of memory remain active for hours. When demand for memory increases, the queues get rebalanced to provide more cached/inactive memory. These figures don't really tell you much. Buffer and cache memory are disk data held at different points within the kernel. I've never been 100% clear on the difference, and I believe it depends heavily on a thorough understanding of how the kernel works. The other rule of thumb I've heard is that the closer memory is to the left side of top output, the less expensive it is for the kernel to move it to active ... inactive being the most efficient and cache requiring the most work by the kernel ... I could be wrong, though. Partly, but it's more the other way around, the further to the right the easier it is to reuse (not counting buffer and wired, which are outside the normal VM/cache system).

Network card SiS 191 not detected

Is the problem the output of ls(1) or the output when using (some form of)
tab-completion or perhaps the result of evaluating wildcard characters ('*',
'?', etc)?
In the former case it has nothing to do with which shell you are using but
is instead a feature of ls(1). Read the ls(1) manpage and pay special
attention to the '-A' and '-I' options.
In the second and third case (tab completion and wildcard expansion) it
depends entirely on your shell how it is handled.
I am afraid I am not familiar enough with either bash or csh to say how (or
even if) it can be configured with them.
With zsh (my preferred shell) one can control if dot-files should be
expanded or not with 'setopt globdots'/'setopt noglobdots'.

See apachectl(8) .. apachectl graceful sends httpd a SIGUSR1, as does your previously mentioned newsyslog line, which shuts apache down but without murdering existing connections, while apachectl restart does. However both graceful and restart run configttest before restarting, and it seems likely that's where/why it's bombing. OTOH, apachectl start doesn't run configtest, maybe explaining why it starts up ok that way? apache version is apache-2.0.63_2 from ports uname -a gives FreeBSD iwr.ru.ac.za 7.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1 #2: Mon Jun 2 13:10:26 SAST 2008 iwr.ru.ac.za:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNIWR70 i386 Here running apache 1.3 on 5.5-STABLE, but I doubt the apachectl functionality has changed significantly, though I may be wrong .. php v4 is installed, though i do plan to upgrade that to V5 as soon as I get time to do it. Good idea, especially if PHP is related to your apparent config issue. PS: I used to use logrotate, but it too stopped working correctly, with apache process stopping in a similar way that is why I changed to newsyslog. I rotate the logs monthly, and set it to 8am so there is a chance I'll be on hand to start apache to minimize downtime. Theoretically if it survives an apachectl configtest, you should be good to go - and if it doesn't, neither method will restart apache. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: exporting/exposing directory over the Internet?
Hi Joachim, If I were setting something like this up, I would make sure that it was done over a VPN. OpenVPN is a pretty neat solution that works easily on all of the platforms you'll be using. It's very straight forward to set up and will give you a secure network that you can run whatever file sharing solution you want. If you ensure that you are only offering the resource via the VPN, you can be sure (OpenVPN supports certificate and password based authentication) that only trust people will be able to see the service, much less access it. I have noticed that there isn't a section on OpenVPN in the handbook - I guess I should contribute one :) Cheers, Pete 2008/10/4 Joachim Rosenfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wish to store some files on my FreeBSD 7 server that will be used by various clients (FreeBSD, Windows, and Linux).

Vista Dual Boot issues - Does not start on a track boundary
Hi Guys, I'm nowhere near new on the FreeBSD front but have Never done a dual boot with vista. Vista came pre-installed on this machine and I created another partition using the resize function of Vista. When I'm setting up my slices its complaining about Chunk ad0S1 does not start on a track boundary... Does anyone know if this is a common problem and the easiest way to resolve this issue? I've tried going on and setting up the labels but upon installation of packages it seems as though its having problem doing a chroot due to the partitions not being setup correctly. I know I could delete all slices and start out with freebsd and then install vista but it would involve backing up approx. 150Gigs of data. I've also done approximately 5 hours of searching archives, etc to no avail. I've tried everything with no success on FreeBSD7.0 Release, 7.1 beta and 8.0 current.
