Then after booting up and making sure everything worked I moved the hard drive back to the computer with the ICH7 controller and I got the same errors during boot and boot failed. Any ideas? Only one. Open a PR, write all that info. BTW, if FreeBSD live CD can be executed with verbose dmesg, it may help. I think this PR have a good chances to be closed since there is a pre-release cycle now and ich7 controller is widely used.

Problem compiling kernel under FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE
Hello, I am attempting to recompile my kernel, so I made a modified version of the GENERIC kernel configuration (included below), and attempted a recompile. I've tried both the Old and New compilation methods mentioned in the handbook. Both of them die, telling me that they have an undefined reference to several items that appear to be defined in files in the /usr/src/sys/netgraph directory (exact info below). I tried the experiment of building the unmodified GENERIC kernel configuration, which works, so I must have fouled something up in my configuration file, but I have no idea what. I'm hoping one of you experts out there might just know what I did from looking at it. ;) My system is an old, but not ancient IBM Thinkpad laptop with a Pentium 4. I didn't build it myself, so I'm not exactly certain what all the hardware in it is, but it has a built-in CD/DVD-ROM drive, two mouse-substitutes, built-in ethernet, serial, parallel, USB, and PS/2 ports, a built-in sound-card of some sort, and a PCMCIA wireless ethernet card which sadly is incompatible at the moment. I believe the graphics card is some flavor of ATI Radeon, though I don't know an immediate way to check that without resorting to Micro$#!+. Any help is appreciated.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You need to specify options NETGRAPH or delete device udbp from your kernel configuration. The second is the more likely option... you probably don't need the udbp driver. - From man 4 udbp: The udbp driver provides support for host-to-host cables that contain at least two bulk pipes (one for each direction), for example the EzLink cable and the NetChip 1080 chip. It requires netgraph(4) to be available. This can be done either by adding options NETGRAPH to your kernel configuration file, or alterna- tively loading netgraph(4) as a module, either from /boot/loader.conf or from the command line, before the udbp module. - --Curtis On Sat, 4 Nov 2006, Thomas Lane wrote: Hello, I am attempting to recompile my kernel, so I made a modified version of the GENERIC kernel configuration (included below), and attempted a recompile.

1000 user_hz or hz Values in FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64)
Hello all!, I have a quick question. I know these options are prevelent in Linux* Operating Systems. It's been a while since I used Freebsd. Last night I installed FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64). For certain reasons, I need the FreeBSD kernel to achieve 1000 Hertz. Most linux OS's default at 250 and in order to change it the kernel needs to be recompiled. Does this work the same way for FreeBSD 6.1? If someone could show me how to adjust the values to 1000Hertz that would be great. PS. I have another quick question. I am running AMD64 because I have a 64 bit system. It's Dual Intel Xeons 64 bit. In the kernel it shows AMD64 as machine type, and HAMMER as cpu_type. I assume hammer stands for clawhammer/sledgehammer core found in AMD cpus. Because im using Intel Xeons should this value be changed? I am unsure what to use for the cpu type in the kernel.

FreeBSD 6.1 and Counter-Strike: Source Server (SRCDS)
Hello all (again) I just e-mailed the list before and recieved a response on my last question however I have one more problem (which seems to be the biggest for me). I am trying to run a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server off FreeBSD 6.1. I previously had it running fine with CentOS but because BSD needs linux binaries and such, i have run into a problem. First off I'd like to say that I already installed linux_base8 (or so i think) and have enabled it in rc.conf. I installed the source dedicated server files using hldsupdatetool (steams client) NOT the one provided by /use/ports/games/linux-steam. I found that the steam client in freebsd ports seems a bit outdated since steam doesnt use email and logins anymore to install/update steam server files. There used to be a problem with the hldsupdatetool which forced people to use the steam update tool in the ports collection but I believe thats been fixed now because i ran it without any problems (unless theres something i dont know). In any event to make a long story short, when I try to run srcds, it gives me an error and refuses to run. For all those gameserver people out there and GSP's do you think you could lend a hand? I know quite a few gameservers providers that run their source servers on freebsd. Maybe im doing something wrong. Could someone walk me through how to get source up and running starting from scratch on everything I need to do/install in order for source to work?

Re: Dell 2950 Perc 5/i RAID Controller and FreeBSD 6.1 Question
It would be very very useful if you provided dmesg(8), bsdlabel(8), and fdisk(8) outputs to illustrate the problem. For each RAID group you assemble in the BIOS/CMOS utility, you should see a seaparate mfid[0-9] phyiscal device. Once properly partitioned, they should each contain s1 slice -- for some reason we number disks from 0 but slices from 1 (possibily because the BIOS does) Then each physical slice can be BSD labeled'd with [a-z] ~BAS On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Krempasky, Mark wrote: Hi, We have a new Dell 2950 with 6 disks, we have verified that the bios and raid controller firmware are up to date.

fsck with freebsd-6.1
Hello list Looking at the man page for fsck, I couldn't find an option to tell fsck when it finds an unreadable sector, to mark it as bad so it doesn't get written to another time.

Re: fsck with freebsd-6.1
Hello list Looking at the man page for fsck, I couldn't find an option to tell fsck when it finds an unreadable sector, to mark it as bad so it doesn't get written to another time. If fsck can't do it, is there a program in the system or in ports that can? That generally gets handled nowdays by the disk controller. It remaps blocks to reserved spare blocks. When you begin to see bad blocks mentioned by the OS, it generally means that the disk has run out of its spare blocks and is beginning to die and it is time to replace it - not just mark a block as bad. I don't think fsck deals with things at that level. It is more interested in making sure the structure of the file system is intact and that is a higher level than bad blocks. So, I could be wrong on that part, but I don't think fsck has a option for marking bad blocks. I don't know about a utililty to do it. jerry cheers -- John - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 6.1 and RAID controller PERC 5/i in DELL PowerEdge 2950
Hello All, We have DELL PowerEdge 2950 with RAID controller PERC 5/i and 6 Fujitsu 73GB SAS disks. We created 3 RAID-1 virtual disks out of the 6 disks : VD0 = RAID-1 using disk0 and disk1 VD1 = RAID-1 using disk2 and disk3 VD2 = RAID-1 using disk4 and disk5 After that we installed FreeBSD 6.1. The FreeBSD 6.1 OS went to the first virtual disk (shown as mfid0 in sysinstall), we choose standard for Install Boot Manager. The other 2 virtual disks we're using for data partition (entire mfid1 mount as /data and entire mfid2 mount as /data/app), we choose none for Install Boot Manager. The installation completed with no error. However, once the server in boot process, it shows error for /dev/mfid0s1a and require fsck on it. We tried to fsck but it failed. And looks like at this point the OS has corrupted. One thing is working, if we only use mfid0 for OS installation and leave (not use at all) mfid1 and mfid2, then the server rebooted fine after the OS installation (we get the login prompt). The problem is we want to have mfid0 for OS, mfid1 for /data, and mfid2 for /data/app separated from each other and not together in one big virtual disk. Anybody know about this issue? Any suggestion?

Dell 2950 Perc 5/i RAID Controller and FreeBSD 6.1 Question
Hi, We have a new Dell 2950 with 6 disks, we have verified that the bios and raid controller firmware are up to date. Our issue is: after creating 3, RAID 1 virtual disk groups and initializing them we successfully install FreeBSD 6.1 on the first raid group. We then create a file system on the second raid group which seems to wipe out the FreeBSD install on the first disk group. It seems as though FreeBSD6.1 is not differentiating between the different disk groups thus when you make changes to 1 group it will write the changes to the other. Anyone have any ideas on how to get FreeBSD6.1 to differentiate between the different virtual disk groups on a Dell 2950?

I downloaded the FreeBSD 6.2 BETA 2 AMD 64 Install ISO (disc 1), which was no problem, it only took me 4 minutes with my connection, anyway, FreeBSD 6.2 BETA 2 AMD 64 detected my SATA 2 hard disk, and installed without any problems, unlike FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64 which crashed when it was searching for my SATA2 hard disk, but downloading 6.1 wasn't a waste either, because 6.2 BETA2 didn't have a big package ISO, disc 2, (only 30 something MB) so I used the packages from FreeBSD 6.1 which seemed to be compatible, because KDE, GNOME, and every other packages I installed worked. I'm so happy that I can use FreeBSD, on this new computer, I really noticed a big improvement in performance, in the AMD 64 version, and it also detected the dual core processor and used both the processors.

In the shell, then type: sysinstall Go to Configure - Networking - and check Gateway and NFS Client, then check Interfaces - nve0, and when it asks if you want it to configure DHCP and some other stuff, select yes.

Wireless setup FreeBSD-6.1 and fwe0
Hi! I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 which is configured to dual boot into Windows XP-Pro. I just got this laptop today, but I've been using Freebsd since 3.4, or earlier. When I boot into Windows I am able to access my Linksys wireless router. There is another secured wireless network nearby, and that may make a difference if you read between the lines at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html My problem is that I can't get the wireless network to function in Freebsd. Here's ifconfig -a bfe0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::215:c5ff:feb8:39e%bfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 172.16.1.42 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 ether 00:15:c5:b8:03:9e media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active fwe0: flags=108902BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::304f:c0ff:fe9c:7541%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 32:4f:c0:9c:75:41 ch 1 dma -1 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 I've googled a similar issue here: http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/browse_frm/thread/d68ec8e94a4d45f9/c513bc5b1afe7517?lnk=stq=fwe0+needsgiantrnum=3#c513bc5b1afe7517 But didn't get a resolution. The google post refers to ugen and to ural, but that looks more like an argument between different posters, rather than an answer to the original question. I have NOT modified /boot/loader.conf, but I have tried the instructions in the handbook using kldload .. to no avail dmesg has a peculiar entry: fwe0: if_start running deferred for Giant the rest of it follows. The clue, I think, is that in ifconfig fwe0 NEEDSGIANT and in dmesg, if_start is deferred for Giant. Who is this giant? How do I slay him? Based upon the google post, I am suspicious that fwe0 may not, in fact, be the actual interface. But again, that post is suspect.

FreeBSD 6.1 max sockets
I am writing a socket server deamon in C++ on FreeBSD 6.1 (or 6.2 if this matters to your answer). What this does is accept many sockets and does a little work with each. Each socket has low traffic but stay connected for long periods. All these sockets get accepted through one public ip:port (if this matters). So my desire is two things: 1 - good event handling for knowing which sockets have new data. I assume kqueue is the way to go here? 2 - I need to know what my limits are on max number of sockets. If my system is a 64-bit install on a server with 8GB RAM, I need to know how many sockets I can handle. Also, what options do I have to tune this? socket buffer size? Any kernel parameters needed to tune? thanks, ke han ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Digitemp on freebsd 6.1
Hi I'm trying to use digitemp (http://www.digitemp.com) on freebsd6.1 but my attempt so far is without success. Here what I've done, on a minimal freebsd installation: downloaded the 3.4.0 tgz, installed gmake, then compiled with gmake ds9097 ( worked without errors) ./digitemp_9097 -i -s /dev/ttyd0 -q -c ./config to initialize the program Digitemp starts and then nothing happens. I'm using a passive circuit and I've verified that it works. Installed linux on the same machine and it works. I've checked that the serial interface on the freebsd machine works correctly connecting a serial modem and issuing ati command from minicom. Used root to avoid problems connected with permissions, chmodded to 777 all /dev/ttyd*, tried ttyd1 the result is always the same, the program starts without errors and just stays there doing (apparently) nothing, to exit I've to interrupt the execution. Since there are no errors I've no other idea of what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Leo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Initio SCSI Controller FreeBSD 6.1 Release
Hi all, I have a number of servers that use SCSI drives. I purchased a 'Star Teck' SCSI controller (PCI Bus Connection), about a year ago. Some research shows that this controller is an 'Initio PCISCSIU2W controller. I have found out yesterday that none of the drivers loaded in the GENERIC Kernel support this device. I tried doing some searches yesterday, and found some hacks and patches that clain to support it, but they were from FBSD 3 -4 and do not work. Somehow, the answer lies in the driver 'iha' or 'iha0' that I can't seem to find. Is there an add on device driver for this card that anyone is aware of? Answers,m advice and hints all welcome. -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ZendOptimizer on FreeBSD 6.1 - Apache core dumps
Hi, We're about to purchase a software system that is encoded using Zend Guard and therefore we need to install the ZendOptimizer on our FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE server. The ZendOptimizer package has been installed from ports (allthough manually downloaded) and the needed text lines have been added to php.ini: [Zend] zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15 zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/lib/php/20050922/Optimizer zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/lib/php/20050922/Optimizer_TS zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/php/20050922/ZendExtensionManager.so [ THIS IS THE LINE THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEMS ] zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/lib/php/20050922/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so However, when starting Apache (1.3.37 and php 5.1.6) it core dumps and won't start.

Problem with HighPoint rr232x driver FreeBSD 6.1 amd64
I have just assemble a new computer to be used as a ftp server. It is an ASUS A8N5X with 1 GB ram and a AMD Athlon 64. I have used one ata hardisc for the system, and put in the Highpoint RocketRaid 2320 PCIe as a controller for a RAID 5 array. I just installed a minimal installation, via ftp on the computer. The install recognize the raid controller and put the rr232x driver into the kernel. But at start up it fail to start channel... I have found that the rr232x is supported by version 6.1. Any ideas, I have tried to put into the /boot/default/loader.conf rr232x_load=YES at the end. FreeBSD defaults by the installation with ACPI enabled, could this be a problem. -- Klaus F.

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot during bootup
I have seen this in a few situations: 1.) the BIOS is set to not allow boot area writes 2.) The root partition is outside the first 1024 cylinders. This was on older hardware that didn't do good geometry translation on big drives. 3.) moved the root partition to another slice -Derek At 06:47 PM 9/20/2006, Mike Peirson wrote: Hi all, First off, I'm new to FreeBSD and this mailinglist so I hope I am in the right place.

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot during bootup
Some kvm's can be problematic, you may want to just plug a keyboard into the server for now. You can boot the CD and at a shell prompt run fdisk. You can give it the argument for the other drive to see that drive's partition table. -Derek At 03:30 AM 9/21/2006, Mike Peirson wrote: Greg 'groggy' Lehey wrote: On Thursday, 21 September 2006 at 7:43:44 +0300, Odhiambo Washington wrote: * On 20/09/06 16:47 -0700, Mike Peirson wrote: Hi all, First off, I'm new to FreeBSD and this mailinglist so I hope I am in the right place.

That is because the system needs to have it available during the boot up process. It mounts the assumed root (partition a) read-only in a temporary spot and reads necessary stuff from it. Then later, after fsck and such, it remounts it appropriately. Maybe, for some reason, it thinks it need information from something like /etc/fstab or another place and that is not available until after the remount. That is sort of grabbing at straws, but it is the only thing I can see at the moment. So, maybe try rethinking your slice division. jerry -- Michael Peirson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TCL84 Build error Socket Tests Hang FreeBSD 6.1-Stable #6
Hello,
I'm having trouble building tcl84. These issues did
not seem to exist until I updated the ports tree and
world the other day
Heres the basic stuff:
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #6 Sun Sept 17 22:03:38
is what uname -a spits out ports were updated right
before the system source update.
make.conf has
CFLAGS=-pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
CXXFLAGS+=-O3 -fno-strict-aliasing
COPTS=-pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
CPUTYPE=pentium4m
MAKEOPTS=-j5
my ports.conf has:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/tcl84}
WITH_THREADS=YES
BLACKHOLE=YES
.endif
ports.conf is loaded into make.conf with this
.if ${.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*}
include /foo/bar/ports.conf
.endif
I use it to make configuring ports easier and more
standard then the portupgrades configuration method.
I initially attempted to rebuild the system with
portupgrade -afR
but found tcl84-threads hanging on socket test 7.4
although it says every single test fails. So because
my system was a little messed up due to having half of
gnome-2.12.x and gnome-2.14.x because of updating the
ports tree halfway through the build to start because
of a then broken port... and now because of a hlf
rebuilt system. I decided to do a pkg_delete -a and
start over from scratch to see if my configs would
work right. The port still halts on socket 7.4 test,
and halted at one point for 8+ hours when I was off at
work.
on a tangent Xorg seemed to be busted after being
rebuilt and configured (X -configure) I did notice
something about drm in the kernel now is I915 support
in there now???
I've read socket test hangs could be because the
tunable net.inet.tcp.blackhole is enabled but it is
not on my system. That is why I added BLACKHOLE=YES to
my config to try to disable the tests as the Makefile
suggests but the build seemed to ignore me.
then I starting getting these kernel panics. Once
while it was testing and the next time right after I
rebooted in to single user mode to assess filesystem
damage.
Fatal double fault:
eip=0xc0729c9c
esp=0xdc4fe00c
ebp=0xdc4feb78
panic: double fault
I suspect that my 2nd dimm banks memory controller has
finally shit the bed in my laptop, but post cause
maybe it is related. I'm not certain what a double
fault is exactly; not off a tennis court anyway...
I will see if I can find the reason for the double
faults by removing the likely unreadable memory stick
and attempt to update the source and ports trees and
see if that helps, but not before dumping my system to
tape.
any help would be appreciated.
-brian

I have never used ATA floppy drives. Doesn't mean they're bad, but I wonder what would happen if you disabled this device too? Maybe the virtual devices is hosing it up. I know there is a virtual floppy drive in here somewhere too... I can see it in the BIOS but I can't figure out how to disable it. Is your CPU hyperthreaded? You might want to go in the BIOS and try turning that off too... (Hyperthreading on FreeBSD doesn't give you that much extra in performance... And exposes a few potential hardware issues.) At this point, I'm kinda poking around in the dark as to what device could be causing it. In these situations, I start with the bare-minimum to boot it up, and keep adding devices until it fails... then remove everything, and try adding the failing device first. (This means physically removing cables and such. This screens for interactions between devices, and devices that may fail.) Jeff Cross http://www.averageadmins.com/ How long is it sitting and hanging? How long have you left it? I have one machine that needs about 3 or 5 minutes after the copyright line, to boot the kernel. Of course you may have stumbled upon a timing bug too. If that's the case, we should try to find as much information as possible, and pass this one up to the people who can track it down. I can help you force the machine to boot as you wanted... but there may be other issues. Hopefully someone can help you more than just forcing it to boot in option 5 all the time. -- Adam David Alan Martin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot during bootup

I just realized something. The box that I've been developing AutoFS on, here at FSL is a Dell Power Edge SE 1425. I dunno how much hardware there is in common, but I think we use the same cdrom drive. The one in my PE is a thin-profile drive... it seems to be the exact part that I had in an old Dell Inspiron. (The drive has no tray motors, just an electro-mechanical latch which keeps it closed, and unlocks to let a spring pop out the tray by a few millimetres.) Have you tried removing the cdrom drive from the mainboard? Also how did you install, from CDROM? I have seen an issue like this once before, back in 5.2.1 and 5.3, when trying to get it to boot on some older laptop hardware. The kernel wouldn't boot from some media, but would from others. You may want to try someone's custom compiled kernel, not the stock kernels... But at this point, it is beyond the scope of a simple fix. I am curious to know, however, because I have not seen this behavior. Regards, -- Adam David Alan Martin The CD-ROM you described is exactly what is in the PE850. I haven't tried unplugging it from the motherboard but will give that a try today. I installed from the CD and everything went as expected.

Dell PE850 and FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE - Boot Issues
I am trying to run FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a Dell PowerEdge 850 with some booting issues. I have searched the archives and found someone having a problem with the machine booting too fast but my problem is a little different. My machine hangs up after the following line is displayed during boot: acd0: CDROM TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E-N/3.AB at ata0-master UDMA33 I have to poke the machine in the eye to get it back. The keyboard and everything locks up at that point. The only way I can get the machine to boot up successfully is to use option 5 from the boot menu, Verbose Logging. Is there a way around this? I know this is ghetto but just being able to make the machine use that boot menu option as the default would work fine I believe. It would ultimately be nice to not have this issue on boot but the verbose logging option seems to boot fine so that would work for the interim. I am attaching my dmesg output from the verbose boot. I can't seem to get anything in messages or dmesg from one of the failed boot attempts. Any help is greatly appreciated. If more information is required to troubleshoot this further, please let me know.

To be frank, I just signed up for Questions, after Google Summer of Code, and yours is the first one I've answered. Glad to see that I've started on the right foot though. It appears the only way the machine will boot up properly is if I hit 5 on the boot menu. This obviously doesn't make remote reboots very admin friendly! I know that I setup something like this once, because I needed it to always drop to command line. I can help you emulate what's in menu option 5, in a loader.4th script. But you'll have to drop the pretty menu, and logo... If you're willing let me know. Thanks again for your reply! Like I said, no problem. Thanks for your enthusiastic support.

I just realized something. The box that I've been developing AutoFS on, here at FSL is a Dell Power Edge SE 1425. I dunno how much hardware there is in common, but I think we use the same cdrom drive. The one in my PE is a thin-profile drive... it seems to be the exact part that I had in an old Dell Inspiron. (The drive has no tray motors, just an electro-mechanical latch which keeps it closed, and unlocks to let a spring pop out the tray by a few millimetres.) Have you tried removing the cdrom drive from the mainboard? Also how did you install, from CDROM? I have seen an issue like this once before, back in 5.2.1 and 5.3, when trying to get it to boot on some older laptop hardware. The kernel wouldn't boot from some media, but would from others. You may want to try someone's custom compiled kernel, not the stock kernels... But at this point, it is beyond the scope of a simple fix. I am curious to know, however, because I have not seen this behavior.

Re: Plesk and FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit getting frustrating
Hello We were using Plesk on FreeBSD 5.4, i386, and had a lot of problem with qmail wich is crashing sometimes without any reason. We tried differend tips found on forums and disabling antivirus and modifying some script we managed to restart the crashed mail service by watchdog, but still the mail service crash more than ten times a day. The problem with crashing qmail was found not only on FreeBSD but on Linux too. So our learned lesson was: 1. don't try even to make it work if is not designed for your version of bsd, is a waste of time, 2. Plesk 7.5 is not as good as we thought, you might try Plesk 8, maybe is better, but, I still recommend you CPanel. Is difficult to work with closed source code, if a problem occurs you do not know what to do.
