Re: Help Sun Blade 1000

Re: 3ware raid disks requiring fsck ing,

Re: DHCP assigned unregistered IP address
Most cable modems have an RCF1918 on their external management address. This is not part of the routing you see. The modem bridges your NIC to the Cable headend interface - like a layer 2 ethernet. Do a TCPDUMP on your external interface. Here in Cox Cable land you will see packets from 10.x.x.x every once in a while. This is the traffic from you modem to the headend for management. On Jul 14, 2005, at 10:56 AM, Bob Hall wrote: Thanks for all the replies. Responses to everyone's comments and suggestions: 1) It is a Motorola cable modem. (SB5100) 2) I can access 192.168.100.1 after modifying the firewall rules that stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface. (IPFW) There's no checkbox to disable DHCP. I downloaded the modem user manual from the URL Glenn Dawson posted, but I didn't find anything on this problem. 3) I did the (shutdown, disconnect modem 30 seconds, reboot) cycle about three times, but it didn't do anything. The solution was # dhclient -r # dhclient rl0 Repeat until oip != 192.168.100.11. (I think it took four iterations, but I wasn't counting.) This cleared the IP address on both the inner and outer NICs. Maybe I should have specified the interface with the -r flag, but it was easy to fix. 4) The problem was solved by the time I saw the dig suggestion, so I didn't have a chance to try it. 5) Bill was paid on time. :) The modem web page contained this: The SURFboard cable modem can be used as a gateway to the Internet by a maximum of 32 users on a Local Area Network (LAN). When the Cable Modem is disconnected from the Internet, users on the LAN can be dynamically assigned IP Addresses by the Cable Modem DHCP Server. I take this to mean that the modem can't do NAT. It can only act as a gateway for registered IP addresses, which it can't assign. The config web page has two buttons: Reset All Defaults Restart Cable Modem I can't find any documentation on the second. Would Restart Cable Modem be equivalent to disconnecting the modem power for 30 seconds? And Reset All Defaults would have released the unregistered IP address?

Re: aac support
There has got to be a better way to work with the vendors in order to get the support we need. It just seem to me that the screw you guys, I am going home stuff just does not work. The vendors need a business case in order to do things - they are in business to make money and I can agree with that. Maybe we can do some sort of list of companies or OpenBSD people that use or would use the cards - along with number and install base study of the number of sales they would get and give it to them. We should work on some sort of cookie cutter type setup that tracks the interest and $$ with a product that we can compile and be sent to the vendor in order to get support. The data needs to be correct and true and presented in a business case manor. The one-off flock of emails just do not work. I would be happy to help with this and pursue this if there are others that think it is a good idea. Also is there needs to be a stock form that is send the vendors that covers in detail what we ask for. Some that can be vetted by their lawyer that they would be OK with. We need to work with the vendors in a clear, clean business like manner and leave emotion and philosophy out of it. This is just my 2 cents. If you do not like it, oh well.

We will not supply something to our user community that they cannot fix and improve themselves. We have been talking with Adaptec for 4 months. They have not given us management information. We have been talking to Adaptec for more than a year to get other RAID controller information, as in, how to even get the mailbox stuff fixed. They have not given that to us, either. Noone thought to talk to you. You are, I am sure, under a non-disclosure agreement with Adaptec, and I am sure you would therefore not give us documentation. We are quite used to FreeBSD and Linux people signing NDA's by now. Yesterday on the phone Doug said But we did give OpenBSD documentation, we gave them to Scott Long. Thus, Doug mentioned that *you* had documentation, and thought that was enough. Of course it is not. You do not help us, I told him. That is not how it works. And so it stands -- we still have no documentation. Did I get an offer from you for documentation before you went onto a public site and said I was full of crap? No, I did not. And I expect that now that you have said I am full of crap, we still will get no documentation from you. Right? We are working on a driver-independent raid management framework. One command (perhaps called raidctl(4), we don't know) that should work on any controller from any vendor, which would do management, because the management stuff would be abstracted in a driver-independent way into each driver. Yes this is a difficult project. We have support for AMI almost working. We will support some other product, as well, then we'll see where Adaptec stands. I do a lot of work on OpenBSD. I am sure that you do a lot of work on your stuff in FreeBSD too, so you know what it is to be a very busy busy person. When a vendor ignores me and the efforts of 4 other people trying to get the vendor to listen -- for that long, we have no choice. Yet, you, Scott, you think that you are therefore able to slag us and call us wrong, because YOU are in the loop and we are not? Because you used to WORK at Adaptec, and we did not? That somehow makes us full of crap? I have been watching the mail going to Doug over the last 24 hours. I have been counting controllers mentioned in mails and am now up to over 1,800 Adaptec RAID controllers, with people from very large commercial operations complaining that they have been switching to other controllers (or, having now seen Adaptec's failure in this regard, that they will now actively not buy Adaptec again). Those controllers will not be supported in OpenBSD 3.7 in May. If Adaptec wishes them to be supported in a future release, they had better come and make amends. We are sick of supporting the hardware of vendors who shit on their customers

(Same config as above reversed). The Cisco or the BSD box are running NAT on their side. If I ping a box behind the remote side from my desktop which is behind the router1 box I drop 3 out of 5 packets. Now for the strange part - If I get a ping going to that same node from the router1 box and then ping from my desktop I drop no packets. If I kill the ping on the router1 box the pings from the desktop start dropping packets. This also works if I ping the external interface on the remote router. BTW, I have just changed the router1 box from Gentoo Linux using the IPROTUE package for the tunnels to FreeBSD 4.9. It worked just fine with the router1 running Linux.

Re: List of absolutely required files for FreeBSD?
well i have been installing the normal + kernel dev package/src because i need to recompile the kernel. then remove the /usr/src and /usr/ports then go thru and trim the *share *docs *examples and end up with a 220mb system. i am quite sure that you can remove more. Philip Hallstrom wrote: 256mb, but I'd like some extra room for some data files. If I could get it down to say 80mb then I could use a 128mb card...

Philip Hallstrom wrote: Hi - I was wondering if there is a list of absolutely required files for FreeBSD? I'm trying to trim an installation down as small as possible (to put on Compact Flash). If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's around 100megs of files. Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need. However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other parts of FreeBSD (ie /etc/rc.* files)? Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by FreeBSD for normal operation?

Re: VIA Tech Mini-ITX
http://www.gctglobal.com/Products/Set_Top_Box/STB1030_3036/ stb1030_3036.html i use this with 256mb flash w/4.8 and 4.9. works great.

AFAIK even the latest miniITX has the VIA Rhine chipset for ethernet. Also the PLE266 should work, but of course you cannot use the mpeg2 decoder.

Install latest 4.8?
If I do a floppy boot and a FTP install will I get the latest patched version or 4.8 or do I still need to patch up? Is there anyway I can do an FTP install of the latest patched version of 4.8? I do not want to go thru the CVS compile thing.

A quick kernel swap?
All things being equal, same hardware, same version of the same build of 4.8, etc... I have one box with a kernel w/out DUMMYNET and one with a kernel w/DUMMYNET. If I were to copy the DUMMYNET kernel to the non-DUMMYNET would it work? The other issue I have is space. The system is running off flash. Can I delete the running Kernel before I copy up the new one?
