Firewire Support on 4.11 ?
[please answer me directly too since I'm not subscribed to this list, thanks!] Hello, I've a question about firewire support on FreeBSD 4.11-R. I'ld use an external hard disk on a server of mine, and since USB 2.0 support is not available in FBSD 4.x, I'ld try with firewire. (I can't install 5.4-R on it) Any suggestion or hint ? Are there some recommended FW chipsets or something to avoid ? (I was thinking about Lacie's FW 400 PCI card) I'm interested in external HD's support, any other FW use is not in my needs right now (DV, ethernet, etc.) As said, *any* hint is more than welcome ! :-) Many thanks in advance! -- bye!

Max memory + swap
Hello, I'm deploying a new server with FreeBSD 4.10-Release and I'll need a quite big piece of memory. I was thinking of installing 1 Gb of RAM plus another Gigabytes of swap. I seems to remember some limit / problem when RAM + swap go over 2 or 4 Gbytes total, is this true ? (without PAE or similar things, it's a "normal" P4 machine) I would avoid to tweak kernel parameters, if possible, like KVA pages and similar things I don't know ;) Anyone with similar experiences could, please, remember me actual limits ?

I should know that "make clean" would remove _object_ files, not source ! sigh! ;( Good, on next monday I'll try it ;) > Note that "make clean" is only guaranteed to work if the > object tree was populated using this same sources; everything > else is not guaranteed to work, and "make cleandir" is > advised instead, though even this may break when the types > of some files change from "file" to "directory", like has > happened with /usr/obj/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl/openssl. ah ok. However my obj tree should have been correctly populated since I did a cvsup-build-install before trying clean. > Are you perhaps downgrading from 5.x? Nope, these are 4.0-rel binary-installed machines upgraded time after time via cvsup to 4.8 :-) (oh I really *love* FreeBSD for this :)) ) Many thanks for your answer! I'll try it and I'll report the result for the archives :-) -- bye!

Strange problem with "make clean"
Hello, I'm experiencing a weird problem doing "make clean" in "/usr/src". It happens on a couple of FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE machines (RELENG_4_8 to be precise). Cvsup, build & install phases all went fine, just "make clean" went wrong. I tried rm-ing the incriminated subdirectory and even rm-ing the checkout.cvs:RELENG_4_8 file and re-cvsupping but nothing changes. Here is the error log: [...] rm -f telnet authenc.o commands.o main.o network.o ring.o sys_bsd.o telnet.o terminal.o utilities.o telnet.1.gz telnet.1.cat.gz ===> secure/usr.bin/openssl rm -f buildinf.h openssl/opensslconf.h openssl/evp.h xopenssl app_rand.o apps.o asn1pars.o ca.o ciphers.o crl.o crl2p7.o dgst.o dh.o dhparam.o dsa.o dsaparam.o enc.o engine.o errstr.o gendh.o gendsa.o genrsa.o nseq.o ocsp.o openssl.o passwd.o pkcs12.o pkcs7.o pkcs8.o rand.o req.o rsa.o rsautl.o s_cb.o s_client.o s_server.o s_socket.o s_time.o sess_id.o smime.o speed.o spkac.o verify.o version.o x509.o CA.pl.1.gz asn1parse.1.gz ca.1.gz ciphers.1.gz crl.1.gz crl2pkcs7.1.gz dgst.1.gz dhparam.1.gz dsa.1.gz dsaparam.1.gz enc.1.gz gendsa.1.gz genrsa.1.gz nseq.1.gz ocsp.1.gz openssl.1.gz passwd.1.gz pkcs12.1.gz pkcs7.1.gz pkcs8.1.gz rand.1.gz req.1.gz rsa.1.gz rsautl.1.gz s_client.1.gz s_server.1.gz sess_id.1.gz smime.1.gz speed.1.gz spkac.1.gz verify.1.gz version.1.gz x509.1.gz CA.pl.1.cat.gz asn1parse.1.cat.gz ca.1.cat.gz ciphers.1.cat.gz crl.1.cat.gz crl2pkcs7.1.cat.gz dgst.1.cat.gz dhparam.1.cat.gz dsa.1.cat.gz dsaparam.1.cat.gz enc.1.cat.gz gendsa.1.cat.gz genrsa.1.cat.gz nseq.1.cat.gz ocsp.1.cat.gz openssl.1.cat.gz passwd.1.cat.gz pkcs12.1.cat.gz pkcs7.1.cat.gz pkcs8.1.cat.gz rand.1.cat.gz req.1.cat.gz rsa.1.cat.gz rsautl.1.cat.gz s_client.1.cat.gz s_server.1.cat.gz sess_id.1.cat.gz smime.1.cat.gz speed.1.cat.gz spkac.1.cat.gz verify.1.cat.gz version.1.cat.gz x509.1.cat.gz rm: openssl/opensslconf.h: Not a directory rm: openssl/evp.h: Not a directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/openssl. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/secure/usr.bin. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/secure. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src.

old way of compiling kernel
Hi all I'm using FreeBSD in production since 3 years but I've a little question I would ask since then: _exactly_ why on a freshly installed system (no cvsup, no build anything) to compile just the kernel I must use the "old way" (1) and can't use new way (2) ? I've been told I can use (2) only after at least one "make buildworld", not on a vergin system. I'm looking for a detailed explanation, technical deep :) Someone could, please, enlight me ? :-) Many thanks in advance! (1) config -g KERNELFILE , cd ../../KERNELFILE, make dep, make, make install 2) make buildkernel, make installkernel -- bye!
