Re: Recording from sound card

The last time I tried this was many releases ago, possibly 4.x-RELEASE. Back then I would do something like cat /dev/dsp file but now when I try it I just end up with a 0 byte file. I'm using a different sound card than before so maybe that has something to do with it. Or possibly I just don't know which device to use. Playing sounds using cat file.wav /dev/dsp0.0 works fine, but I can't get recording to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. My suggestion would be to install the port sox, it will provide a rec command that can be used to record WAV or any other supported audio file format, e. g. % rec foo.au or % rec bar.wav And sox provides other excellent command line tools for audio manipulation (sox, play, rec); see man sox for details. Note that play filename is easier than cat'ing the file to the dsp device directly (which may require specific access permissions). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

FreeBSD and SSD drives
Hi, Is anyone using SSD drives on freeBSD server systems? I'm attracted by the performance increases i've seen on both my desktops and laptops (quite amazing and easy upgrade if you've not tried).. I see from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM#Operating_system_and_SSD_support that full TRIM support only comes in 8.2, I'd be interested to here peoples opinions on best uses for SSD, general purpose applications such as databases , webservers etc will benefit obviously, but i'm also curious as to disk intensive applications such as mailq's, spamassassin etc?

FreeBSD's tftp and tftpd-hpa
FreeBSD's current tftp client doesn't work with tftpd-hpa.

Otherwise I'll hack it up. I'm forced to use tftpd-hpa because I have diskless Linux clients that are brought up with pxelinux.0 and that one needs the option to provide file size beforehand. But FreeBSD's tftp client wants other options and KABOOM. The bad thing about this is that I'm debugging probably unrelated problems with pxeboot and I have no way of knowing for sure whether my problems might be caused by more options clashes. It's not that tftpd-hpa log which options specifically were requested and denied. Or that FreeBSD's client says which options it requested before it blew up.

You're probably best off saving SSD storage for cases where you have lots of reads and little to no write activity, unless you enjoy buying new SSDs a lot. Actually, let's not ignore TRIM; the work-around for lack of TRIM support on some drives is a garbage collection routine that exacerbates the problem of having to replace your SSDs more often if you do a lot of writes.

Hi it works fine except after leaving mplayer or any SDL application my
tty seems broken. I can't switch to a tty anymore my screen stays black
and I must reboot/shutdown (no panic)
Are you encountering the same issue? There is no way to use vgl as
regular user or we could open a PR for it?
Cheers,

does this mean that
a) my system is 100% idle, since no processes except the idle process takes up
up CPU time or
b) that a or some processes take up 2% CPU time which aren't being shown or
c) that each of my cpu core is only 86.6/89.4% idle?
cheers.

Re: FreeBSD and SSD drives
On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 12:57 PM, Chad Perrin per...@apotheon.com wrote: Ignoring the TRIM issue for a moment . . . You're probably best off saving SSD storage for cases where you have lots of reads and little to no write activity, unless you enjoy buying new SSDs a lot. Actually, let's not ignore TRIM; the work-around for lack of TRIM support on some drives is a garbage collection routine that exacerbates the problem of having to replace your SSDs more often if you do a lot of writes. I guess I would only use SSDs on servers in the same cases where I would let myself be talked into using MySQL -- cases where you just treat it pretty much like a read-only data store, and do not have to (safely) add or change data stored there most of the time. Modern SSD's can do a *lot* of writes, wear-leveling and other tecniques allow SSD's to be implemented for nearly any workload. There's a great deal of literature and facts on this topic if someone was motivated enough to research it. Some legends are better off fading away. http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html Same thing is sort of true with TRIM, on most modern drives lack of OS TRIM support isn't the performance hit it used to be although still desirable. -- 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
Re: Portupgrade and Updating the portsdb
On 10 February 2011 08:33, c0re nr1c...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all! I've got set of servers that uses NFS mounted /usr/ports. When I use portupgrade samba on 1st server it says [/usr/ports/INDEX-7.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument] [Updating the portsdb format:bdb_btree in /usr/ports ... - 22601 port entries found error] Remove and try again. [Updating the portsdb format:dbm_hash in /usr/ports ... - 22601 port entries found . . done] Okay. It took 10-15 mins to rebuild. Then I say portupgrade samba on 2nd server it says again [/usr/ports/INDEX-7.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument] [Updating the portsdb format:bdb_btree in /usr/ports ... - 22601 port entries found error] Remove and try again. and rebuild portsdb. Why is it so? Ports are updated via portsnap fetch update. /etc/portsnap.conf has INDEX INDEX-5 DESCRIBE.5 INDEX INDEX-6 DESCRIBE.6 INDEX INDEX-7 DESCRIBE.7 INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRIBE.8 So while portupgrade rebuilds portsdb it's not possible use portupgrade on 2nd server because later build process will fail on 1st or second server. What can I do with it? Why portupgrade always thinks that [/usr/ports/INDEX-7.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument]? The INDEX-n.db is a locally generated portupgrade thing. Edit your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for each machine to include a line such as: ENV['PORTS_INDEX'] ||= ENV['PORTSDIR'] + '/INDEX.local' Only instead of '/INDEX.local' use '/INDEX.your_hostname_here'. You might also look at changing the part ENV['PORTSDIR'] to something local (speed, etc), like adding a line up from that: ENV['LOCALINDICES'] ||= '/var/db' then ENV['PORTS_INDEX'] ||= ENV['LOCALINDICES'] + '/INDEX.thy_hostname_here' Also, if you have local space, settin' WRKDIRPREFIX= in /etc/make.conf will speed things up allow multiple machines to build at the same time.
