Re: Can't access a music CD
Strange thing is, that cdcontrol works for me, disc is spinning but no sound out of speakers. Sound system is working, and this is laptop. I usually rip to hdd, and play those files, but it was annoying last time I tried to play audio cd. Before CAM it was the same, if I recall correctly, however then I used something like cdparanoia or cdrtools to play cds. So I'm afraid, that cdcontrol is not best diagnostic tool. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Can-t-access-a-music-CD-tp4886683p4898453.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Dell Poweredge 1950 III (PE_SC3): replacement SAS controller to acceess drives = 3TB
Hello out there. We run a Dell PowerEdge 950 III (PE_SC3) Server with FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE. This Server is equipted with a SAS controller, residing, as far as I could observe, on a PCIe slot. Its kernel message is: mpt0: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfc4fc000-0xfc4f,0xfc4e-0xfc4e irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 mpt0: [ITHREAD] mpt0: MPI Version=1.5.14.0 mpt0: Capabilities: ( RAID-0 RAID-1E RAID-1 ) mpt0: 0 Active Volumes (2 Max) mpt0: 0 Hidden Drive Members (14 Max) The pciconf -lcv output is as: mpt0@pci0:1:0:0:class=0x01 card=0x1f101028 chip=0x00581000 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)' device = 'SAS 3000 series, 8-port with 1068E -StorPort' class = mass storage subclass = SCSI cap 01[50] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 10[68] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 256(4096) link x4(x8) cap 05[98] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x14 enabled ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 0 corrected This controller obviously isn't capable of handling 3TB harddrives and I need it to be replaced - but I do not know what type and brand of controller is suitbale for the Dell PowerEdge III. We already contacted our support, but they rejected support, since the BIOS of this server isn't capable of booting off 3 TB harddrives due to the 32bit limitations. Well, I need the controller to attach 3 and 4 TB drives, we still boot off from legacy BIOS capable 2,2 TB drives, so I see no issue to replace the SAS controller. I'm a bit afraid of buying something out of the blue since the dimensions of this little controller board seems small. I hope someone already made a decission to buy such a replacement for their similar or exact the same system and can help me out. We do not need RAID, nor SAS 2.0 capabilities, just JBOD. Thanks a lot in advance, Oliver P.S. Please also reply to my email, I'm not subsribing questions in case you reply.

Thanks a lot in advance, This is somewhat tangential but if the server has an internal USB port (directly on the motherboard), you *could* use it just for boot+root for the OS and then have buy any kind of controller which supports your drives. Almost all modern servers have this, but the 1950 is a bit old... In the same direction: if you have the space and the cabling, you could just add a single small drive and connect it to the motherboard SATA controller (non-RAID) and boot from that. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Okay, so what *are* you you using to try to play the CD? Someone suggested cdcontrol, but these days a lot of computers don't come with the cable to get analog audio directly off the drive. That's why the FAQ suggests xmcd, although it's far from the only option; most of the big desktop environments come with a CD playing application that gets the data digitally. For example, I think the Gnome application is brasero. i think cdcontrol(1) should be adjusted, so that it supports digital audio CD playback. actually analog audio hasn't really been supported by mainboard manufacturers for 10 years. i have a board which comes with an audio connector, but attaching a cable to it, which is attached to a dvd drive doesn't work, for whatever reasons. i also believe newer dvd and br sata devices don't even come with an analog connector nowadays. another application which supports digitally playing audio cds is mplayer(1) via 'mplayer cdda:://' or 'mplayer cddb://'. ano ther thought might be to implement an audio cd filesystem, so one could do 'mount -o audiocdfs /dev/cd0 /media/cd' and then all tracks appear as RAW pcm audio files. maybe fuse comes with something like this? cheers. alex ___ 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

Some of them I know are 1987, and some I think were much earlier, but I don't think any of the time frames he gave were before 1985 or so, but I'd have to check, as I finished it and read the last chapter a while ago.

ports/distfiles via NFS or SSH
I have several machines networked using NFS mounts or SSH and scp. Only one machine has internet connectivity - a laptop (machine vbear) with a wireless card (I'm in a temporary location for a few weeks and only wireless is available here). I tried to mount the ports tree on this machine to the other machines (machine mfc for instance) with: #mfc cd /usr #mfc mount_nfs vbear:/usr/ports ports and then installing the needed port on mfc. What happens is that the working directories and the entire local ports tree gets written to /var, so that I get /var/ports/usr/ports/devel/xxgdb/work and so on. /var fills up very quickly and I soon get disk full errors. How can I avoid this? I believe the solution is to point the ports Makefile to a different (local) working directory but point fetch to grab distfiles from the (remote) laptop, but I'm not sure how to do this. regards, Peter Kryszkiewicz ___ 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

I'm just searching for a solution to turn consumed computing resources into a number and a currency symbol. :-) Reason: A growing amount of (my) customers seems to like this concept: They speed a low fee for access to systems and applications, and they want to pay according to what they did with that system. The access fee covers access and some basic services (backup quota), and for anything more advanced they want to be charged per units used, or per consumed resources. This can be dialog time (SSH), disk I/O, disk occupied, pages printed (can happen) or pages required to print on exceptional specific forms (can happen once or twice a year and is charged with an additional fee for fold, staple mutilate). Sounds stupid? I have _real_ customers intendedly requesting that payment model (instead of just pay amount n Euro a month and do whatever you like). Accidentally, I remembered history. So I thought: This funcitonality has been present on UNIX systems for many decades. But _how_ to use it? I know there's the command set for accounting, for example the ac command. But what does its output total 7264.15 mean? There also are acct (process accounting), sa (for system accounting) and pac (for printer accounting, just dooesn't seem to work with CUPS). I'd also like to use the /etc/csh.logout resp. ~/.logout mechanism. When a user logs in, he will be presented the program he uses (or a menu, in case he uses different ones). This can also be a regular remote desktop session. When he logs out, a message should be displayed that informs him how much will be charged for the session. At the end of the month, he should get an invoice with the proper accumulated amount. For example, if a user wishes to issue a make a backup _now_, because I intendedly want _this_ current state backed up _now_, this will be seen as additional I/O load and disk occupation (because it's handled aside of the regular backup runs that should be part of the basic package charged with the conneciton fee). Or as I said, he issues printing for stuff he cannot print at home, so he will be charged for 500 pages. And in case he transfers 10 GB data in, and 10 GB data out, he will be charged for that traffic, as well as for the I/O. The sessions in questions will be SSH sessions (text mode) as well as SSH/X sessions (remote desktops). Maybe someone already uses something similar he wants to share? Suggestions and inspirations are welcome. Yes, the builtin accounting facilities do most of the stuff you are interested in. Just add 'accounting_enable=YES' in your /etc/rc.conf, run '/etc/rc.d/accounting start' and use sa to examine the output. I believe the per-user accounting will fit the bill nicely. You did not mention jails, right? The networking part perhaps can be a firewall's job, though I don't know if the per-user IP traffic rules work properly. There were some problems regarding this ages ago... The builtin printing stuff I believe is for use with the ancient printing tools and I know nothing about CUPS...

Very large swap
This is kind of stupid question but at a minimum I thought it would be interesting to know. What is the limitations in terms of swap devices under RELENG_8 (or 9)? A single swap dev appears to be limited to 32GB (there are truncation messages on boot). I am looking at a possible need of 2-20TB (probably more) with as much main memory that is affordable. I am working with large data sets and there are various ways of solving the problem sets but simply letting the processors swap as they work through a given problem is a possible technique. Processors, memory, storage, and other hardware are open issues but for the minute I'm doing things on the cheap, which, admittedly, has a certain intellectual amusement factor.
