thanks for your url as well and the others to posted. but it seems like
overkill since i dont need any explicit option or argument. i just need
the script to tell me whether i have an arg or not. following is
something i've kept in one of my junk drawers from when i was learning
to write bourne sscripts. it uses the $[token] syntax that determines
whether there are Any args on the cmdline. if not, the script prints a
message and exits.
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo No args; need filename.
else
echo $1

After a couple hours experimentation, the following does the same for my
perl scripts:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$argc = @ARGV;
if (! $argc ) {
printf(No args; need filename.\n);

I have read the 'man' pages; however, I am not getting the syntax correct since I cannot get the range added. Carmel, Have you tried something like what's mentioned in this excerpt quoted below?: Network-based filtering works similarly, and the network notation there utilizes either bitmasks or netmasks, for instance: add 2000 allow all from 192.168.0.0/16 to any add 2100 deny all from any to 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0 The first rule allows all traffic from the network whose IP range is 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255. It uses a bitmask to indicate this. A bitmask specifies how many bits from the network address (192.168.0.0) should remain the same for matching packets. In this instance, the first 16 bits out of the 32 bit address will remain the same, and as the first 16 bits happen to be the first two octets, 192.168, all addresses whose source addresses have the first two octets as 192.168 will be matched by this rule. The second rule accomplishes a similar thing using netmasks. The netmask indicate how many bits from the indicated network address should be used for rule matching. In the above example, for rule two, the netmask is 255.0.0.0. Its first octet is set with high bits; in other words, the first 8 bits are set high. This indicates to ipfw(8) that only packets with the first 8 bits of the network address (10.0.0.0) should be matched. As the first 8 bits of the network address equal 10, then all packets whose destination address have a 10 for the first octet (all addresses between 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255) will be matched by this rule, and then dropped, as indicated by the action.

Re: freebsd-8 support for dell R710 SATA raid-0 (LSI2008)
Hi, In the end I had to go with opensuse-11.2. I should have tried it in the second place really, because the iDRAC has Suse enterprise as an installation option, so it was a small leap to think of the free version. Here are the OSes I tried: FreeBSD 8 FreeBSD 9 NetBSD 5.0.2 CentOS Ubuntu 9.10 server Basically the LSI SA2008 seems very new so it's unsurprising my favourite OS doesn't support it. Hopefully it will in the near future, because this card is a popular option on a popular server aimed at small to medium sized businesses. OpenSuse-11.2 also does GPT in its installation process. I had to raid0 the disks before they could be seen properly though.

If you're studying perl, you might want to join the very

http://lists.perl.org/list/beginners.html, or start a conversation on
perlmonks.org, also relatively beginner-friendly.
PerlMonks in particular is an excellent resource. I haven't been active
there recently, but when I have been active there, I've always found it
rewarding and educational. I can't recommend it enough.
And I'd recommend a couple of good books, but I might be seen as
self-pimping. :)
That's okay. I'll pimp them for you.
Learning Perl, also known as The Llama Book (because it has a llama on
the cover), is one of the all-time best beginner's books for *any*
language that I've ever encountered. I've gone through both the second
and fourth editions, and both are excellent books. I prefer the
organization of the second edition a bit, but the fourth is a trifle more
up to date and does a much better job of covering Windows-related Perl
development issues. If you're only worried about Unixy development and
execution environments, my personal recommendation would be the second
edition, though I suppose your mileage may vary.
As a follow-up to the Llama, the Alpaca book (it has an alpaca on the
cover, naturally) -- in its first edition known as Learning Perl Objects,
References, and Modules (or Perl PORM, as I like to call it), and in
later editions titled Intermediate Perl -- is also an excellent book. In
addition to teaching more about Perl in particular, it also teaches some
important general programming concepts from a Perl perspective, thus
helping broaden your understanding of programming in general.
The final member of the traditional camelid trilogy, and a great book to
tack onto the list after the Alpaca, is the Camel Book, titled
Programming Perl. It's sorta the definitive reference for Perl
programmers, and covers a lot more of the language and its philosophy
than the Llama and Alpaca, though in my opinion the Llama and Alpaca
together provide a needed introduction that the Camel only skims past
(out of necessity, really, since a hand-holding introduction isn't really
the book's purpose).
There's also Mastering Perl, which was written as a sequel to
Intermediate Perl, and I'm sure it's an excellent book. I haven't read
it, though, and know next to nothing about it, so I can't really
recommend it.
All four of the above are published by O'Reilly, and the three I've read
at least are each the kind of book that has given O'Reilly its reputation
as a purveyor of excellent technical books. Perl is blessed by an absurd
number of excellent programming books by knowledgeable authors, and there
are many more that are worth your time as well -- but in general the
above are the canonical starting steps, with others following from there
as you start figuring out what specific areas you want to give your focus
next. Unfortunately, there are also a number of really crappy Perl books
out there (many books that spell it PERL, in all-capital letters, are
among the not-so-great books), and as such I figured I should be explicit
in sharing my thoughts on the best books to get started in Perl.
Now that I've gotten so far off-topic for this list, I'll return you to
your regularly scheduled programming.
But if you look at http://learn.perl.org/ you'll see a number of other
resources, including free tutorials online.

I have it up and running; however, I am not quite sure how to accomplish configuring it to block an IP range. Assume an IP range: 219.128.0.0 to 219.137.255.255 That is an actual range: CHINANET Guangdong province network I want to block the entire range. I am not sure how to do it in IPFW. I have read the 'man' pages; however, I am not getting the syntax correct since I cannot get the range added. Carmel, Have you tried something like what's mentioned in this excerpt quoted below?: Network-based filtering works similarly, and the network notation there utilizes either bitmasks or netmasks, for instance: add 2000 allow all from 192.168.0.0/16 to any add 2100 deny all from any to 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0 The first rule allows all traffic from the network whose IP range is 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255. It uses a bitmask to indicate this. A bitmask specifies how many bits from the network address (192.168.0.0) should remain the same for matching packets. In this instance, the first 16 bits out of the 32 bit address will remain the same, and as the first 16 bits happen to be the first two octets, 192.168, all addresses whose source addresses have the first two octets as 192.168 will be matched by this rule. The second rule accomplishes a similar thing using netmasks. The netmask indicate how many bits from the indicated network address should be used for rule matching. In the above example, for rule two, the netmask is 255.0.0.0. Its first octet is set with high bits; in other words, the first 8 bits are set high. This indicates to ipfw(8) that only packets with the first 8 bits of the network address (10.0.0.0) should be matched. As the first 8 bits of the network address equal 10, then all packets whose destination address have a 10 for the first octet (all addresses between 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255) will be matched by this rule, and then dropped, as indicated by the action. (This excerpt from http://www.freebsd-howto.com/HOWTO/Ipfw-HOWTO) Thanks Maciej Suszko and Ashley. I used the ipcalc tool. I thought I had seen something like that before; however, I was not able to recall the name of the utility. I really have to study up on IPs and networking. -- Carmel carmel...@hotmail.com |=== |=== |=== |=== | BACHELOR: A man who chases women and never Mrs. one. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If your if() conditional is to test an exception, something
that you usually DON'T want to happen - i. e. missing command
line parameters - you can use the ! negation operator to
indicate this in the if() argument.
if(!...@argv) {
print No args\n;
exit;
}
In a short error message, you should indicate what you are
expecting, e. g. with a synopsis or a simple example (no
need for a 25 line help text here, e. g.
print Input file name is missing.\n;
print usage: blabla.pl filename\n;
or
print Use: blabla.pl inputfile\n;
And you could even force perl to exit with an exit code != 0
to indicate that something happened (e. g. program wasn't run
successfully).
Now, as the don't want case has been considered, you can
easily continue with your program, no need to put it into
an else { } branch.
PS. I'm not familiar with perl enough to be sure that the !
operator can be used at @ARGV to make sure it's 0,
and how or if to use exit() to set the return code.
I hardly can read perl at all, so the essence of my
examples is of a rather generic nature. :-)

_precisely_ what unless is for. it's just a funny way of writing
if(!... or should I say if(! is a funny way to write unless ;-)
But honestly pun aside unless(){} is far more readable than if(!){}
and _especially_ if you are programming in an exception manner as you
correctly point out. Every language should have an unless construct.
[...]
And you could even force perl to exit with an exit code != 0

a good practice in any language...

Yes, that _is_ actual code :) Will not only die with a pretty message
on STDERR but will return the value of $! (errno) as exit value. (no
need to make up exit codes) Good thing we are on a FBSD list, because
I can't see the sense of programming in a non-nix environment ;-)

This is enough for the use I intend to have. Zotac mobo is better than Intel D954GSE because it provides a wireless interface - although I couldn't figure out which chipset yet, so I don't know if it's corretly supported on FreeBSD - and three S-ATA connectors. I'm still not sure about which motherboard to buy actually. After some additional reading, my leaning seems to go towards Intel's one as it is less expensive and consumes half the power of the Zotac's one (13W with a HDD [2] vs. 25W [3]). I can live with two S-ATA connectors and I can plug a wireless interface on the available PCI connector if I ever need it.

I have it up and running; however, I am not quite sure how to accomplish configuring it to block an IP range. Assume an IP range: 219.128.0.0 to 219.137.255.255 That is an actual range: CHINANET Guangdong province network I want to block the entire range. I am not sure how to do it in IPFW. I have read the 'man' pages; however, I am not getting the syntax correct since I cannot get the range added. CIDR ranges have to: (a) start on a 'power of 2' address, (b) be a 'power of two' in size, and (c) be no larger than the 'power of 2' factor for the starting address. This range is _not_ that way [fails (b)], so you'll have to do it with multiple entries. i.e., one for 219.128.0.0/13 which will catch 219.128.0.0 - 219.135.255.255 and a 2nd for 219.136.0.0/15 which will catch 219.136.0.0 - 219.137.255.255 Life can get messier, when rule 3 comes into play, consider the block 219.130.0.0 to 219.139.255.255 219.130.0.0 is on a /15 boundary, so that's the max block size you can use for tht starting address. 219.130.0.0/15 catches 219.130.0.0 - 219.131.255.255 next, you can start with 219.132.0.0, which is a /14, and block a /14 wth 219.132.0.0/14 catches 219.132.0.0 - 219.135.255.255 now, 219.136.0.0 is a /13 so you could block that big with just more rule, if needed, (BUT, you only need another /14, to cover the remainder of the group of 10 /16s that the initial block includes. thus, lastly: 219.136.0.0/14 catches 219.136.0.0 - 219.139.255.255 This should help you get the syntax right. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
RE: Intel D945GSE vs Zotac ION ITX (was: Support for Zotac MB with nVidia ION chipset)
Just a small comment regarding Atom suitability for a home NAS: feel free to completely ignore people saying that ZFS overhead is too much for an Atom to handle efficiently, they have no idea what they are talking about. I am using a Supermicro X7SPA-H board (Atom D510) and I an easily achieving ~85mb/s transfers over Samba to and from the machine. 85mb/s is also the best these drives will do and my CPU is nowhere near maxed during these transfers, so with better disks I would be easily saturating gigabit, while still having plenty of available CPU time. What you want is a good disk controller and fast and reliable disks, 2gb RAM is enough, but with 4gb ram you can basically safely enable prefetch for a very noticable boost in sequential pattern reads. Below are some numbers from my personal Atom NAS system: === bonnie -s 8192 ---Sequential Output ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- MachineMB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU 8192 29065 68.9 52027 39.8 39636 33.3 54057 95.4 105335 34.6 174.1 7.9 dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=8192 8589934592 bytes transferred in 111.300481 secs (77177875 bytes/sec) (73,6mb/s) dd if=/dev/urandom of=test2 bs=1M count=8192 dd if=test2 of=/dev/zero bs=1M 8589934592 bytes transferred in 76.031399 secs (112978779 bytes/sec) (107,74mb/s) === This is a ZFS mirror of 2 x 2tb WD Green drives with 32mb cache with the automatic headparking disabled via WDIDLE3.

On 2010-Apr-04 23:54:55 +0200, Jeremie Le Hen jere...@le-hen.org wrote: Yeah, you are right. I should have mentionned that I do not want necessarily a high-performance NAS, it's for home use so my premary concern is the low power consumption. This is why I want an Atom-based motherboard. Unfortunately, FreeBSD has some issues with low memory handling that make FreeBSD/i386 a bad choice for ZFS. You would be far better off running amd64 with as much RAM as you can fit onto the board. (And this is one case where you want amd64 even if you don't have 4GB RAM). Note that this doesn't mean you can't use an Atom - some Atoms include EM64T - you just need to check. IMO, the biggest disadvantage of using an Atom in a ZFS NAS is the lack of ECC support on the Atom. ZFS can detect bitflips in the I/O sustem but you can still get screwed by a bitflip in RAM. I'm still not sure about which motherboard to buy actually. After some additional reading, my leaning seems to go towards Intel's one as it is less expensive and consumes half the power of the Zotac's one (13W with a HDD [2] vs. 25W [3]). I'd recommend against buying anything with the Atom combined with a 945. Whilst the Atom is low-power, the 945 isn't. That is also an older motherboard using an older, superseded Atom. I suggest you look for motherboards built around the new Pinetrail Atoms (which _do_ support EM46T and hence can run amd64). Supermicro make a number of potentially suitable boards: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA.cfm this is pricier but supports remote management - other options at: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Atom/ If you want an Intel MB, search for BOXD510MO Note that I'm not sure how well FreeBSD's X.org supports the Pinetrail yet. There have been some commits but I don't know if support is complete. -- Peter Jeremy pgpC4FYAbzinT.pgp Description: PGP signature
