Hardware support for Shuttle SX38P2 Pro
Hi all, This is the first question I've asked on here, hopefully I've got all the required detail in. I'm thinking of buying a Shuttle SX38P2 Pro (http://www.shuttle.eu/products/mini-pc/sx38p2-pro/specification/) to run FreeBSD 8.1 onwards. I'll be using the machine as a desktop and home server. A bit of coding, nothing special, and running a few jails. But, before making the purchase I want to make sure the hardware is supported. From the Shuttle spec sheet above, the sound card mentions ALC888DD and the FreeBSD supported hardware list states that ALC888 is supported under snd_hda. Is the 'DD' important? Would sound still work? My assumption is that sound would work, but I'd possibly lose the surround sound or something? The NIC appears to be Marvell 88E8056, which seems to have full support using the msk driver. I've never heard of this manufacturer before, there aren't any gotchas I need to be aware of are there? There are two things on the Shuttle spec sheet that I'm unsure of. They are: * Intel X38 Express (MCH) + ICH9R (I/O Conroller Hub) * Intel Matrix Storage Technology I don't really know what either of them are. I'm assuming the Matrix Storage is the RAID controller. Is this supported? If not, I'll just use gmirror, but will obviously have to be able to access the disks in the first instance. From the Shuttle spec sheet, I can't tell what video card is installed. Does anybody know? Is it supported? Initially, I'll be using only one monitor, but would intend to have both outputs in use in the longer term. Sorry, I know there's a lot of questions in there, but I've been unable to find the answered for myself so far. If anyone could shed any light on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

More On Samba And Softupdates
The other day I mentioned I had a problem with a Samba-shared drive that was just installed blowing up. When I rebuilt it, I forgot to enable softupdates but the drive seems to be working flawlessly. I understand it is possible to do this after-the-fact with tunefs. Some questions: Do I have to unmount the drive to do it? What benefit will I get if I turn on softupdates? This drive is being used as a backup drive for all the workstations on this particular network, and reliable is much more important than slightly faster. -- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ 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

As someone already said, SU is probably not the culprit here. I've used Samba + SU for a long time with no such problems although I have no current setups to verify. SU substantially increases disk IO, it's not 'slightly faster' it's much faster. The error you see is probably the result of flaky drive or controller as the additional IO provided by SU allows the flakiness to show through. Although from what you describe my choice for the drive would be gjournal + UFS. If you've got a lot of asynchronous IO that's a better solution. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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

This drive is being used as a backup drive for all the workstations on this particular network, and reliable is much more important than slightly faster. As per man tunefs: The tunefs utility cannot be run on an active file system. To change an active file system, it must be downgraded to read-only or unmounted. The benefit is not just speed, but better concurrent multi-user throughput. Operations which would block other I/O finish sooner so the next task can begin without waiting. I actually run mine with aio_load=YES in loader.conf in conjunction with the following in smb.conf: aio read size = 16384 aio write size = 16384 aio write behind = true block size = 16384 use sendfile = Yes Minor performance tweaks aside, should you continue to see the error(s) described in the other mail I sincerely suspect softupdates is not the culprit. -Mike ___ 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

You can play with the OPTIONs for installing the GD library to reduce your X dependency. Yeah, I don't mind the X _library_ dependencies, headers etc., but the ming port carries a dependency called Accerciser which is an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME desktop! As to why the Ming FBSD port depends on Accerciser beats me, because after reading the PHP docs on Ming it's even supposed to compile on Windoze as an alternative to the closed source proprietary libswf PHP extension, and I doubt the PHP folks depend on some Python Gnome interactive tool. The Accerciser dependency depends in turn on Python of course, and Xvfb and that of course depends on a complete xorg install, which is a lot different that depending on a bunch of X libs. That PHP in particular was the main problem in my case. I don't know, off hand, if php-gd is the only php module that brings in a dependency on X, but it is certainly the one most commonly encountered.

I'm a little unsure of which CA file to use but I think that sf_issuing.crt _should_ work as this is the CA file that I used to setup a similar SSL enabled LDAP server for a client recently. Although I have tried all three CA files in this directory: (gd_bundle.crt, sf_bundle.crt, and sf_issuing.crt).
