2009-12-09 Thread Rich Winkel
Hi, I can't seem to get it to probe the printer.  hp-setup says:
error: No devices found.
error: Error occured during interactive mode. Exiting.

dmesg|grep HP says:

The
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_p2035.html

plugin.

Help!!

Mathematica 7 license manager

2009-08-12 Thread Rich Winkel

I'm trying to run mathlm for mathematica version 7 under linux_base-fc-4_13 on
freebsd 7.1-release-p7.

It demonizes and appears to be happy until I try to run mathematica,
then it crashes with signal 11.  Even running monitorlm causes it
to crash.  Maxing out the loglevel doesn't produce any more info.

Looking at the last access times in /compat/linux/etc, it opens host.conf,
ld.so.cache and nsswitch.conf before dying.  

Has anyone seen this before?  Any help would be much appreciated!!

 Given that you don't have a BBU, what is the status of write caching

 same thing as controlled by the hw.ata.wc sysctl -- and like that 
 it has a major effect on disk IO performance.  Turning write caching 
 off is the safe, conservative thing to do for maximum data security.  

Doesn't hw.ata.wc affect only card-level caching?

It seems likely that the softupdates queuing order might be scrambled
by card-level caching if it juggles pending writes around to minimize
seek times.  If so, it would be disasterous for data integrity in
the event of a power outage.  Disk-level caching might be safe
though ...  Someone needs to ask 3ware whether the card reorders
updates and if so, if there's a setting to keep them in order.

 hw.ata.wc causes the ata(4) subsystem to disable write caching on all
 disks attached to the subsystem.  It does not disable card features.

I mean, the individual disks are invisible to the OS unless the
card's driver (and the card itself) specifically supports it.

 There's also the below PR, which extends atacontrol to permit disabling
 and enabling write caching on a per-disk basis.
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127717

But not on disks which are behind hardware raid cards, correct?

 What gives you the impression that during a power outage your data is
 going to be intact?

One of the main functions of softupdates is to order disk updates in such
a way that the fs organizational integrity is maintained at all times.
Of course this doesn't protect against actual sector corruption, but if
the disk is between writes at the time it loses power, the fs structure
is supposed to still be internally consistent.  At least that's my
understanding of it.

 And we've recently found that this is simply not the case.  The benefits
 of SU are applicable to very specific environments; desktop PCs are the
 main ones, offering great performance improvements there.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Is this an acknowledged bug in SU?  Is it
still a problem in 7.0?

 Yep, that's how I understand it as well.  But this is a different topic
 than what we were discussing 2-3 replies ago, talking about how a RAID
 controller with cache + BBU is sufficient enough to guarantee data
 integrity even when power is lost -- that's incorrect.

The reason I brought it up is that it occurred to me that if the hardware
raid card reorders disk i/o it would mess with SU's ordering.  I wonder
whether this was happening in the previous thread you referred to
concerning fsck?

Mail server intermittent freeze

2007-01-20 Thread Rich Winkel
I'm pulling out what's left of my hair trying to figure out this one.
It's not a pretty sight.  Save the people who have to look at me!

It's a 1ghz intel P3 with 512MB ram, running 4.11-p26 with sendmail,
imapd-uw, qpopper, stunnel-4.14_2 and p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.1, as
well as tty logins.
It's an nis and nfs client (nfs=home dirs).  It has an fxp network card
which is in polling mode (although the problem started before it was put
in polling mode)

The system will freeze maybe every 5 minutes, sometimes for up to
a minute.  Almost completely: low level terminal io on the console
still works.  I can switch tty's (ALT-Fn) and carriage returns
are echoed (and discarded) while showing netstat -w 1 output.
But interactive prompts are frozen.  No user-level processing is
apparent.  Network traffic is heavy, we're getting massive amounts
of spam, and spamd's load on the system has jumped considerably
in the past few weeks.  Average system load used to hover around .8,
now it averages over 2, mostly due to spamd.

Large jumps in outgoing packet activity appear with netstat -w 1
in the first update after recovery from the freeze.  Usually an elevated
rate just prior to it.

My main concern is the discontinuity of the behavior.   The
response is not linear with respect to load, it just drops off a
cliff, prior to which it seems normal.  I'm thinking there's a
logjam somewhere which could be alleviated.  

/etc/sysctl.conf contains

net.inet.icmp.icmplim=100
kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024
net.inet.tcp.icmp_may_rst=0
net.inet.ip.redirect=0
net.inet.tcp.blackhole=1
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
kern.polling.enable=1

Has anyone else seen this behavior??

I could switch to snapshots without crimping this strategy...

Re: How do I do a COLD Reboot on FreeBSD?

2005-01-31 Thread Rich Winkel
According to Bart Silverstrim:
 Warm boots basically just cycle the computer to restart the OS.  It's 
 just restarting it, and power to the components has been maintained the 
 whole time so as far as the computer hardware is concerned nothing 
 really happened, just a chunk of memory access and the processor mode 
 getting kicked around a bit.

It's been a long time, but it seems to me the byte at
absolute address 0x412 (labelled MFG_TST in the old ibm bios listing)
determines whether the bios does a full POST or not.  If that value
is nulled out before the reboot, I think it will do a full POST.

  need for perl to be able to find its local packages, so after I
  manually fix things up I need to know how to tell perl to look
  for its stuff under LOCALBASE instead of /usr/local.  Can someone
  tell me?
  
  Or alternatively, has someone else found a better way to deal with
  the whole problem of maintaining different software sets??
 
 This is really a ports question, so I'm redirecting there.
 
 Apparently you're dealing with bugs in the ports, but it's hard to be
 sure without more details.  Can you give a specific example?

Thanks for the reply!
I've had such problems with spamassassin-milter and also apsprint.

p5 ports don't respect LOCALBASE

2003-11-13 Thread Rich Winkel
I support various types of servers and workstations which need
different local software sets.  I do all my building on one
machine, so I use LOCALBASE and PKG_DBDIR in /etc/make.conf to
keep the various configurations separate.  Unfortunately many ports
don't respect the LOCALBASE setting and install into /usr/local,
even while recording the packing list as being in LOCALBASE!

need for perl to be able to find its local packages, so after I
manually fix things up I need to know how to tell perl to look
for its stuff under LOCALBASE instead of /usr/local.  Can someone

Re: possible bogus kernel error messages

2003-04-04 Thread Rich Winkel
Take a look at the /tmp partition.  I suspect rsync is using it for scratch
files ...

According to admin2:
 These error messages just started appearing in my /var/log/messages file the
 other day.  Running FreeBSD 4.7 Stable.  Can somebody explain why this is
 happening - that appear bogus to me?
 
 Apr  4 03:14:35 typhoon /kernel: pid 48518 (rsync), uid 0 on
 /mnt/da1-root/var:file system full
 Apr  4 04:14:35 typhoon /kernel: pid 48783 (rsync), uid 0 on
 /mnt/da1-root/var:file system full
 
 but the df -k shows there is 41MB on the /mnt/da1-root/var partition.  I even
 umounted and fsck'ed this partition with no errors.
 
 rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26 is being used.
 
 here is the df -k :

Re: newbie: rotating logs

2003-04-04 Thread Rich Winkel
Look at /etc/newsyslog.conf

According to admin2:
 newbie admin:  running FreeBSD 4.7 Stable
 
 I am having a bit of trouble finding this.  Is there a FAQ or tutorial that
 discusses the standard convention of rotating log files?  I am seeing my
 /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog files cycling nicely, but I would like
 to know how to add other log files to this process.

Soundblaster 16PCI (CT5880-C)

2003-03-21 Thread Rich Winkel
Hi, does anyone have this card working?  I'm running 4.6.2-Release,
and am getting no sound.

#dmesg|grep pcm
pcm0: Creative CT5880-C port 0xff00-0xff3f irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0
pcm0: ac97 codec reports dac not ready

#cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: Creative CT5880-C at io 0xff00 irq 10 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex)

#mixer
Mixer rec  is currently set to   0:0

#grep pcm /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/kernel
device  pcm

xmms plays happily along, but no sound comes out.  Does anyone have
any ideas?

Thanks!!
Rich
