FreeBSD custom CD and extra files to be included in the iso
I have been able to use the make release command to create a custom iso for FreeBSD which includes some changes to the various bsdinstall scripts. It all works well as the iso / memory stick images / ftp files are generated and usable. What I would now like to do is try adding couple of files, scripts and/or packages, to this custom iso. I am a little confused on where the files should be placed so that it is placed in either root's home directory after installation?

Re: the WD USB 3.0 My Book Essential
Ah!, I didn't know that some USB connectors (the receptacle on the computer side of the cable,) were for 3.0 and others for 2.0. How do I discover or test my USB receptacles? USB 3.0 connectors have a somewhat different appearance than USB 2.0 or 1.1 connectors. I knew which were which from motherboard labels and documentation. I built the new computer from parts, and two important motherboard features I was looking for were UEFI and USB 3.0. Do you know if your motherboard has USB 3.0? There are PCI and PCI Express adapters with USB 3.0 ports that you can buy.

setuid directories - or other option?
List, I have a media project directory shared with windows users via samba. Every authenticated samba user that accesses the directory is forced to the same FreeBSD user, 'foo', regardless. The group also has write-access: drwxrwxr-x 47 foofoo 2.5K Feb 4 05:42 foo/ Local shell users, however, are a problem. Ideally, I want a simliar behavior for them too i.e. Any files they create in the directory are also owned by the user 'foo'. How do I do that? (See below about setuid.) I wouldn't even care who owns the files, so long as file permission bits in this directory defaulted to 664 so every member of the group 'foo' could edit them. Can I do this without changing every user's default umask? (I want to avoid that.) Is there some kind of 'umask for this directory is blah' feature? I looked at setuid bit on directories. Sounds perfect! BUT I'll be moving to ZFS soon and from what I gather, it won't work there. I guess I could have a cron job run every minute and change offending permission bits, but that feels hacky.

This directory is called sys_custom and it lives within the RELEASE directory. Within sys_custom, files are copied exactly as-is, so since you mentioned that you wanted to copy files to /root, let's operate under that assumption below. 6. mkdir -p src/freebsd/repos/9.0-RELEASE-amd64/sys_custom/root 7. cp myfiles src/freebsd/repos/9.0-RELEASE-amd64/sys_custom/root/ NOTE: If you want the same files available for the installation of the i386 release of 9.0-RELEASE, you should repeat the above steps 6-7 with the destination directory src/freebsd/repos/9.0-RELEASE/sys_custom/root (remember, the DRUID is a unified installer that supports both the installation of i386 and amd64 from the same disc). 8. ./configure 9. make freebsd NOTE: Replace make with gmake if on FreeBSD NOTE: If you're using FreeBSD, you may have to first say pkg_add -r gmake followed by rehash (if using csh or tcsh as your shell). NOTE: Also, if you need to get mkisofs, it's pkg_add -r cdrtools (and again, rehash if using csh or tcsh as your shell). 10. You now have a custom FreeBSD_Druid-9.0b56.iso that will install your custom files automatically to /root when either i386 or amd64 is installed. ASIDE: sys_custom is like a dumping ground for anything and everything you simply want to be copied to-disk post-installation of the OS. If instead you want to write scripts to be run as part of the post-installation process, see instead dep/freebsd/run_once/template.sh and src/freebsd/repos/9.0-RELEASE/run_once/*.sh and src/freebsd/repos/9.0-RELEASE-amd64/run_once/*.sh. The run_once directory unlike sys_custom is a dumping ground for post-installation scripts (any script ending in .sh in that directory will automatically be executed as part of the post-installation procedure after installing the OS. ASIDE: As you can tell, the DRUID is a FreeBSD installer that was designed to be *easily* extended by anybody/everybody on any OS they like (any OS that can produce or edit an ISO that is). -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

cares
about the LED anyway but on the other I'm thinking it's a simple little
thing that's important,I guess like maybe buying a new car and it's
missing
a knob on the stereo. (?) :) I suppose it probably should work.

I have another HP laptop with a Broadcomm card which has a
button_with_light and it just works. None of the sysctl oids above occur
though. Maybe I'll swap wireless cards between the two and see what happens.
What is the output of sysctl -a |grep led ?
You'll get lots of enabled's but there might be something that relates
to led's.
I had to change ledpin from default of 0 to 3 before any of the other
ones had any effect.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

Oh thats a good idea :) Thanks
here's what someone recommended :
dev.ath.0.ledpin=3
dev.ath.0.softled=1
but here are some extras i found from sysctl -a that i will check out:
dev.ath.0.ledon: 0
dev.ath.0.ledidle: 2700
dev.ath.0.hardled: 0
dev.ath.0.led_net_pin: -1
dev.ath.0.led_pwr_pin: -1

in if_athvar.h
sc_softled : 1,/* enable LED gpio status */
sc_hardled : 1,/* enable MAC LED status */

support);
if_ath_sysctl.c: /* XXX Laziness - configure pins, then flip hardled
off/on */
if_athvar.h: sc_hardled : 1,/* enable MAC LED status
this one maybe?
p00ntang# grep led_pwr_pin *
if_ath.c: sc-sc_led_pwr_pin = -1;
if_ath_led.c: if (sc-sc_led_pwr_pin 0)
if_ath_led.c: ath_hal_gpioCfgOutput(sc-sc_ah, sc-sc_led_pwr_pin,
if_ath_sysctl.c: led_pwr_pin, CTLFLAG_RW, sc-sc_led_pwr_pin, 0,
if_athvar.h: int sc_led_pwr_pin; /* MAC power LED GPIO pin */
It looks like all the LED code is in if_ath_led.c :)
/* Software LED blinking - GPIO controlled LED */

ath_hal_gpioCfgOutput(sc-sc_ah, sc-sc_ledpin,

Is it safe to run in production (VIMAGE/vnets) ? I can't speak to every application, release, or even purpose, but we've been using between 2 and 3 dozen vimages for various purposes without problem on 8.1-RELEASE-p6 (just haven't got around to updating to -p7 which is lated RELENG_8_1 security patch). We've been running amd64 hosts with both amd64 and i386 jails. Doing compiler builds, using them as web servers, shell servers, bastion's, gateways, proxies (both shell and web), and even for running legacy releases of FreeBSD (running 4.11 i386 on an amd64 8.1 host). So the VIMAGE/vnets support seems pretty stable in 8.1-RELEASE. Oh, we did have to MFC SVN r207194 to fix a bug in sys/net/rtsock.c when running i386 route(8) in VIMAGE under amd64 host. Though you don't have to apply the patch, as the workaround was simple -- copy the host's amd64 route(8) over vimage's i386 one. That's really the only bug we ever hit, but your mileage may vary. We've been generally very happy with VIMAGE/vnets so far. Now, with respect to the script being production ready, I'd say yes with one minor nit... Unnecessarily starting/stopping vimages after boot is bad for two reasons: 1. In 8.1-RELEASE there's an necessary loss in VM pages everytime you remove a vimage jail with jail -r (this has been fixed in later releases). 2. The Ethernet HW address auto-calculations performed in my script are based on the order in which vimages are started and stopped. This is easily overcome by setting the HW address in the ifconfig_* line within rc.conf(5) (within the vimage rootdir). -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

gpt zfs raidz1 boot failure
I have a raidz1 in degraded mode, with only 1 disk available. When I try to boot it, I get this: ZFS: can only boot from disk, mirror, raidz1, raidz2 and raidz3 vdevs ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable ZFS: can't read MOS ZFS: unexpected object set type 0 ...followed by a couple of attempts to load maxroot/boot/kernel/kernel. I've carefully followed the instructions at http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE -- except that I'm starting with a degraded zfs so I can transition my data from gmirror.

WTF is a .rar file? rar is a compression and archiving tool used commonly for bittorrent. The tool to extract files is in port archivers/rar, but it's commercial and a proprietary format. The free tool is only capable of extracting, not compressing. It is reported that its compression is very good, better than bzip2, xz and can even do a reasonable job of compressing things like already compressed video formats. (Probably why it became popular for bittorrent.) R.
