Definitely no bluescreens in FreeBSD. The system will behave exactly as intended and won't change its mind a few days after installation. :-) how much total ram and bit is my pc of amd athlon(tm) 64 x2 dual core processor 4000+ 2.11 GHz 960 MB RAM? That's a 64 bit CPU, if I remember correctly. The AMD64 version should run fine. But as you are a little bit low on RAM, you might consider using the i386 version (32 bit version) if you don't _need_ to run any 64 bit application. Especially as you've mentioned to run EXE files, this might be the better solution. From what I've heared, wine (the Windows compatibility pack) runs better on i386 than on amd64. (I'm running it myself on the i386 OS on a 64 bit system without any problems.) im always in internet watching live camers,what do you suggest me to use os type? Is this via web? In this case, only the web browser matters. The typical candidates Firefox and Chrome should be fine. The OS does not matter here. If you need a proprietary program to watch the live cameras, often available only for an outdated Windows version, running it with (the mentioned) wine should work. (I've successfully tried something like that with a program to watch CCTV cameras via Internet.) i like to save pictures and videos and never lost them,if you think your os is gonna spoil and lost my all files then i dont need it. Definitely no problem. But keep in mind: _You_ are responsible for creating backups! FreeBSD offers excellent tools to do so, no matter if you want to backup to disks, DVDs, the Cloud, or even to old-fashioned tape. Saving pictures from videos is no problem. There is mplayer and mencoder. It plays, records and converts _everything_. i want stable os and never to reinstall or update That approach is unreasonable, I think. You _should_ update when security updates become available. It's in _your_ interest to do so, because effciency, security and usability improves from version to version. Luckily, FreeBSD has an easy way of updating the OS. It's _independent_ (!) from your installed applications and of course from your data. You can also decide to update your programs independently. However, a install once, then keep using scenario is easily possible with FreeBSD. (My home system has been installed in summer 2011 and worked _flawlessly_ since that point, never touch a running system.) I suggest you make yourself familiar with FreeBSD by using the resources from http://www.freebsd.org/ and you _might_ also want to check out PC-BSD (might be perfect for what you want) and VirtualBSD (easy way to try it out without installing it). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The raw answer is, no, you can't. it spoils fast or not?this question comes from fastest ever spoil OS windows which always spoil in a week seven times i think with things like errors or dll and many things from blue screen. This doesn't sound like a Windows only error. do you have any problems within freeBSD or no problems?i dont like blue screen error or driver things and no matter what . Regarding to driver issues you better stay with Microsoft or switch to Apple.

Around 1 GiB could be ok, but also be not enough RAM, but it seems not to be an issue. im always in internet watching live camers,what do you suggest me to use os type?i like to save pictures and videos Free/libre and open source software does less good support proprietary codecs and software. At the moment there is a thread about Adobe Flash on this list. The best choice could be Windows, perhaps installed as guest to a virtual machine, so that you always can restore it by using snapshots. and never lost them,if you think your os is gonna spoil and lost my all files then i dont need it.i want stable os and never to reinstall or update For multimedia Linux might be better than FreeBSD. Neither Linux, nor FreeBSD tend to lose data, you even shouldn't lose data when using one of Microsoft's less good Windows versions. It's more likely that users have less good backup and archiving strategies. If you want to consume multimedia by the Internet, you likely need to install security updates and software to use stuff based on proprietary software. You could set up a text editor and never need to update or to reinstall something, but the Internet and consuming multimedia likely need updates from time to time. Start an adventure ;), nobody will give you a guarantee, self-responsibility is a catchword for free/libre and open source software. FreeBSD and Linux are similar operating systems, on both kernels more or less the same multimedia applications do run, but the more recent versions are provided by Linux and multimedia is better supported for Linux. I'm an Arch Linux user, it's similar to FreeBSD regarding to a port like system, however, for your needs IMO Debian Linux stable release might be the less risky choice. OTOH, why not simply testing FreeBSD? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I should clarify: # zdb -l /dev/ada0p2 = all 4 LABELS visible and correct (zpool name: bsdr) # zdb -l /dev/ada0p1 = all 4 LABELS visible and correct (zpool name: asp) # zdb -l /dev/ada0 = only LABEL #2 visible (this is an OLDER zpool with GUID 5853256800575798014, also named bsdr, the pool was whole-disk-as-raw) This is the gpt table + partitions as I re-created them immediately after the gpt delete. It looks like I have re-created the gpt partitions correctly... I don't understand what you mean by you can try to proceed? # zpool import -D -f -R /bsdr -N -F -n -X bsdr cannot import 'bsdr': a pool with that name already exists. use the form 'zpool import pool | id newpool' to give it a new name Ok, let's check a few things: zpool import zpool import -D From your previous mails I saw that pool bsdr is FAULTED but not deleted. If the system would list bsdr on `zpool import` you should remove -D from the command. -- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

After 'zpool destroy', I also deleted the partition before realising my mistake, I tried to recover the partition table with testdisk, but this was not successful. Next I created a new GPT table and the 2 partitions at the original size as I recalled them - so ada0p1 and ada0p2 have been re-created.

[ZFS] recover destroyed zpool - what are the available options?
I destroyed my zpool but forgot to take the tar backup of /home folder. I was wondering if there's any way to restore the zpool? This was a single-HDD pool. zpool import -D shows the poolname but also shows that pool is unavailable and faulted. zdb commands give no records available for poolname The zpool command also shows the missing device by its ID number. I have left the HDD in the untouched state, and I am hopng that zpool may accept the HDD if I can figure out a way to pass the device number zpool is looking for to the GPT partition (or whatever ID mechanism zpool looks for) on the original HDD. Is there a way to do all that with ZFS?

What is your favorite board for a micro system?
Hi! What is your favorite mini/micro/nano/pico-itx platform for home projects? I currently run a home server on an Intel mini-itx board but was looking around for something fun to play with with the following specs: - mini-itx or smaller, low profile - fanless - low power 12V external PSU - 1 LAN, preferably 2 - 2 USB2/3 - Flash bootable, but with option for hdd boot - GPIO would be fun - hdmi out would be nice I have tried VIA boards but found they were flacky... Any suggestion regarding ARM vs Intel based?

process eating up all memory - what should happen next?
I have a process that eats up al memory, in my case science/paraview if I try to analyse a large model. What should FreeBSD do when a process tries to use all RAM or more?

And well the problem was gone, when I discovered that's what I did differently, I commented out all lines on a different system rebuilt and installed, sure enough it worked. Looking at the src.conf options that I was using, I can't see how any option other than the WITHOUT_PROFILE could possibly be causing the problem. Though I am in the process of building systems with different options removed in an attempt to find out for sure. The WITHOUT_PROFILE was added from a help document I read some time ago about upgrading from source, and hasn't caused any problems before now.

I do know for sure that the WIHTOUT_BIND, WITHOUT_NTP, are working correctly as they are gone form the system, prior to me installing the versions from ports after the build/install world. Yes this does apply only to system. With the above options buildworld / buildkernel / install kernel / install world/ mergemaster / reinstall all ports, I have my problem. Remove all options, repeat no problem. Remove just WITHOUT_PROFILE repeat again, problem is back. So I was wrong as to that line being the cause, at least by itself. I did a lot of initial testing with port option changes, and changes to make.conf on my system, thought maybe it was clang, etc. Didn't get anywhere, the system is running on a ZFS boot partition, and as a last effort I tried on UFS. It worked, but I also realized I forgot the src.conf settings. I copied my ZFS systems boot environment and rebuilt without src.conf, it now works as well. Currently doing a fresh install on ZFS to build from ground up with the same process used originally, except without the src.conf and confirm I can repeat its success. Then I can do some more testing with adding options back into the src.conf to try and narrow down which of those options is causing the problem. If I can figure out which one, or combination of them is the cause, then I will hopefully have something that can lead to someone with more knowledge than I have being able to discover why its having the problem. The port doesn't fail to compile it installs fine, and 99.5% of it runs perfect, just one little thing that I need to work hangs up for about 5 minutes, before timing out, but doesn't log an error, even with insanely verbose debugging, it acts as if it completed but it didn't. I posted another message about the specific problem several days ago, before I had it figured out to be caused somehow by something in the src.conf file. I am trying to run Squid (version 3.2.6 is the current port) in reverse proxy, the problem is only when doing a post via HTTPS above a certain size, somewhere between 2k and 3.2k is where it begins. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Try this as a crontab entry: 0 3 * * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap cron update Two points to note: 1) The 'cron' verb is important for anyone setting up an automated job like this. It causes portsnap to wait for a random number of seconds (but less than 1 hour) before connecting to the portsnap server. Since the tendency is for people to schedule cron jobs to happen on the hour, this helps to avoid everyone connecting at once and smooths out the server load. 2) This assumes that you have previously run portsnap fetch extract to get yourself a portsnap-ready copy of the ports tree. You only need to do that once, but you should move aside any pre-existing copy of /usr/ports obtained by any means other than portsnap(8) before you do (but keep anything under /usr/ports/distfiles and maybe /usr/ports/packages). Something like: cd /usr mv ports ports.old mkdir ports mv ports.old/distfiles ports/distfiles mv ports.old/packages ports/packages portsnap fetch extract Although this may be complicated if any of /usr/ports, /usr/ports/distfiles or /usr/ports/packages are on a separate partition or ZFS. I say 'move aside' due to the caution imbued by having been a professional sysadmin for more years than I care to remember.

mirror using your chosen protocol:
svn co {proto}://{svn-mirror}/base/{branch} /usr/src
So, what I would do to checkout 9.1-STABLE from the us-east mirror
using svn as the protocol is:
svn co svn://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
Then wait for that to complete, as it's going to download a few
hundred MB of code.
Now, you generally only need to do that step one time. For regular
updates to the sources, just run:
cd /usr/src
svn up
This will re-use all the settings you chose above. If you want to
change any of the settings then use 'svn switch' from the top to the
checked-out tree (ie. cd /usr/src) -- this will avoid downloading the
whole repo all over again...

Don't be fooled into pulling down release/9.1.0 or the like --
this is not a *branch* but a *snapshot*. If you think you want
release/9.1.0 then you really want releng/9.1 instead.

grief at some unexpected later date even if they don't cause the

What is the timeout of TCP in freeBSD?
I was doing a experiment on FreeBSD for testing TCP timeout and RTO. OS is being run from two different VMware versions 4.0 and 5.0. Present Scenario: VMware Player 4.0 I'll start a telnet session to a non-existing system in the network. When I look at the tcpdump the RTO starts at every 3 seconds and after some exponential backoff starts. In this scenario after 75 seconds the TCP gives up and tells me that there is no system existing with the IP and telnet session terminates. Next Scenario: VMware Player 5.0 In this scenario, I did the same but the RTO starts at 5 sec and then varies. In this scenario, it takes more than 120 seconds for telnet session to tell me that there is no system is available in the network. I have seen sysctl in both VM's. net.inet.tcp.keepinit = 75000 Is this problem something related to timing of the VM's or any other issue? -- Karthik Reddy I'm not the best, but I'm not like the Rest ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Something that fouls the library routines will not affect dig and nslookup. Given this is Solaris, check /etc/nis.switch (may not be the exactly correct name, but close -- I haven't used Solaris in a decade). check both the file content, and permissions.

gpart, glabel and newfs -- what am I doing wrong
Hi, in general, I try to create the partitions with gpart, add a label with glabel and put a filesystem. I think that I am doing something very simple the wrong way but I cannot see the error. I try to do it in the following way: # gpart destroy -F da0 # gpart create -s GPT da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 64k da0 # gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 512m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2boot da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2root da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2swap da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2var da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2tmp da0 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2usr da0 Label the partitions: # glabel label Toshiba16GB2boot /dev/da0p2 # glabel label Toshiba16GB2root /dev/da0p3 # glabel label Toshiba16GB2swap /dev/da0p4 # glabel label Toshiba16GB2var /dev/da0p5 # glabel label Toshiba16GB2tmp /dev/da0p6 # glabel label Toshiba16GB2usr /dev/da0p7 And put a file system onto the partitions. # newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2boo # newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2roo # newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2var # newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2tmp # newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2usr But newfs on the first partition results in this: Filesystem size 15 minimum size of 48 When I ran the newfs directly on the device, I get this: [X220]/home/erich (root) newfs /dev/da0p2 /dev/da0p2: 512.0MB (1048576 sectors) block size 32768, fragment size 4096 using 4 cylinder groups of 128.03MB, 4097 blks, 16512 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 192, 262400, 524608, 786816 Of course, this is what I expect.

what is an in-core disklabel ?
Hi, I've seen the term in-core a couple times while reading up about BSD disk labels. Does it refer to data that is cached in kernel memory ? Context examples : - fdisk(8) outputs parameters extracted from in-core disklabel - bsdlabel(8)'s manual explains that the -n (dry run) parameter does not install the new label either in-core or on-disk. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
