READ_BIG errors continue, atapi-cd driver updates?
When copying data from a CD burned on my Windows machine, I see lots of errors like the ones at the end of this message continue to pop up in dmesg. I saw these on my old machine as well, but was surprised when I continued to see them on my new machine. I saw some references to similar errors in other freebsd mailing lists and there was mention of a patch to atapi-cd.c that worked well for some people, but the patch for atapi-cd.c doesn't seem to match up with the atapi-cd.c on my machine. Has this patch been integrated into the stock 5.2.1 distribution? More about the patch in question may be found at the URL below: www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg02702.html This machine is running freebsd 5.2.1 - several parts have been portupgrade'd since the initial OS install.

RE: Dumb question (dual booting WinXP with FBSD on 2nd drive)
quote/boot/boot0 needs to be installed using sysinstall by selecting the FreeBSD boot manager on the screen which asks if you wish to use a boot manager.

This is nothing that I had set up, the drive was install out of the box, and windows was install to it. The Drive was autodetected by BIOS, and neither BIOS nor Windows had any problems with it. Now seeing as I had no planes on actually doing much with the drive partions anyway, just quit out of that section and was persented with the boot manager screen, which I (following the instructions in the handbook) selected to install the BSD boot manager, and continued on. I don't remember the exactly what happened after that, but there where no errors, so I exited out of the process and went into winodows to finish the procedure. BSD never asked me what I wanted to name the file, and when I went into windows and checked the windows Drive, there where no files that have been modified (as far as boot sector files) I could not follow the final step in modifing the Boot.ini file as I had nothing to point it to. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Johnson Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2004 4:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jay Chen Subject: Re: Dumb question (dual booting WinXP with FBSD on 2nd drive) On Thursday 29 April 2004 12:27 pm, Jay Chen Jay Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To Whom It May Concern: I have a Dell computer with Window XP and two hard disks (76 GB each).

Configuring Samba for Printing on WinXP Machine
I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have three computers networked together, Two running WinXP Pro and one running FreeBSD. I would like the one running BSD to be able to use the printer connected to the WinXP machine. I have had no success in getting this to occur. The WinXP machine in question is connected to a hub, then a router and then to my cable modem. I do not want to make any changes to its network so that it will fail to connect to the internet or to the other WinXP computer. It would be a bonus if I could actually share files among all three machines, but it is not a necessity. I do need the ability to print though. I have tried configuring Samba but without success. Perhaps someone could give me some basic configuration tips, or perhaps another easier to use and setup networking tool other than Samba. Thanks in advance!

Gerard, Which version of Samba are you using? I am by no means an expert but I I have been reading the O'Reilly Samba book. I understand that XP security is basedon Kerberos 5.

Sound server issue
I am running on a Compaq Presario 1610 with 80M Ram at 133mghz: FreeBSD 4.8 XFree86 4.4.0 KDE 3.1 When I get my desktop up I get this message. Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device/dev/dsp can't be opened (Device not configured) the sound server will continue, using the null output device. Does this mean the soundcard is not support? And if not, how do you configure the sound server? Any help will be appreciated. _ Is your PC infected?

Re: Configuring Samba for Printing on WinXP Machine

I have three computers networked together, Two running WinXP Pro and one running FreeBSD. I would like the one running BSD to be able to use the printer connected to the WinXP machine.

It can be a little confusing to get it up and running, but probably not as confusing as Samba. /usr/ports/print/cups The WinXP machine in question is connected to a hub, then a router and then to my cable modem. I do not want to make any changes to its network so that it will fail to connect to the internet or to the other WinXP computer. It would be a bonus if I could actually share files among all three machines, but it is not a necessity. I do need the ability to print though. If you decide to use CUPS for printing, you may be able to do adequate file sharing by using the basic SMB networking built in to recent versions of FreeBSD (see mount_smbfs(8) and smbutil(1)). That should let you be a client to the WinXP file servers, although you won't be able to serve files to them. smbutil claims to be able to print to Windows shared printers, but I've never tried it, and I suspect that drivers would be an issue. When I use mount_smbfs to mount shares from my wife's XP Home system, I have to try the mount twice: it times out the first time, and works on the second. I haven't tried to debug that yet... I haven't used Samba in a few years, but when I did, its primary role was to act as a Windows server, not as a client. The client (at least back then) was very limited. I have tried configuring Samba but without success. Perhaps someone could give me some basic configuration tips, or perhaps another easier to use and setup networking tool other than Samba.

Re: Dumb question (dual booting WinXP with FBSD on 2nd drive)

Look here for the full info http://www2.apcupsd.com/3.10.x-manual/supported.html Here are 2 excerpts Supported Operating Systems, UPSes and Cables Please note that due to the lack of Unix USB API standards, the USB code in apcupsd works only on Linux. Drivers for other OSes can be written, but it requires someone with a knowledge of the OS and the USB to do so. (This lack of a Unix USB API interface is one of the big failings of Unix. It occurs in other areas such as the GUI. Many people tout the diversity as an advantage, but it is in fact a weakness.) and BackUPS CS USB, Pro USB, ES USB, RS/XS 1000, RS/XS 1500, and probably other USB models-USB From this I would infer that your ups is a USB driven ups only and you may have problems with connecting to it. I guess it would depend on the port and whether it has been suficiently modified to work with usb on freebsd. Maybe give it a go. I am not familiar with the backUPS model. I have the smartUPS'. With them you can buy a serial expansion card. If you can buy one of these it may be a solution. last time I set up apcupsd I found it to be easy if you look at the above site.

Adaptec RAID cards
I've got a Supermicro P4 Xeon server with an onboard Adaptec SCSI controller and a 0 channel RAID adapter with one array, plus a 2200S dual channel RAID controller with a second array. FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't find any disks on the system at all. Neither the asr or aac drivers come up during boot. FreeBSD 5.1 does find both sets of disks. If I pull the 2200S and boot FreeBSD 4.9 the asr driver finds the 0 channel controller and array and installs fine. I've tried the 2200S without the 0 channel adapter and neither disk controller driver loads. Any idea why a 2200S would cause the kernel not to see either disk controller in 4.9 but work fine in semi recent versions of 5? In all instances the adapter BIOS loads and works properly. -- Michael Conlen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Data Storage Plan?
Does any one have Company-wide (LAN) Data Storage Plan? My requirement are PC Users: 50 Users OS: Win 3.1, Win 9x, Win Pro2000, Win XP, Lindows, FreeBSD My plan is to take weekly backup of 15 PCs as well as company data store/file such as Finance/Accounts spreadsheets, Administrator/HR documents, Engineering's drawings, machinist's programs etc. I know only one thing that .. Data Storage Server OS: FreeBSD Security Issues: How to Authenticate different users? (Need Ideas) Please give suggestion which application to use. like, shell I install/set FTP server, HTTP server, SAMBA, etc. What kind of hardware to use? RAID: ??? IDE HDD: ??? (Is 200 GB enough) Backup Tape: ??? (Tape / ZIP drive) Motherboard: ??? CPU: ??? CD RW: ??? (Needed) Help me in visualizing my data storage server. Thanks in Advance. With Regards Ajitesh K One of the main thing you need to do here is ask the right questions from the start. The most important one is What is my budget? Everything hinges on that. Secondary to that is What kind of redundancy do I want and how much downtime am I allowed? Thirdly How am I going to back it up and recover from problems? Fourthly How much expansion do I want?. You can buy new or second hand to save some $$. If money is tight look at the computer auctions. We bought an old compaq dual 450 with a dlt tape drive and scsi raid for about $1000US a year ago. The best thing about old hardware and freebsd is that it us usually very well supported and still runs fast enough. They are cheap enough to buy 2 and use one for parts. Compare this to the new gear we bought. $4US for an IBM server and 500GBsan. The tape backup solution for this was going to be$1. If you are looking for some kind of spec on a homebrew system Start off using good quality brand name parts. You do want raid. Make sure it is hardware raid and preferably scsi. Use a seperate scsi card for the tape drive if you get one, dont use the raid card. Get a server quality network card not a $10 realtek. Get a decent board like an intel or an asus or a tyan. Processor wise doling out files doesnt cause much load. Get what you can afford. Min 256MB ram get 512. It will all depend on your budget. Think of the warranty too. Building it yourself can be cool but some manufacturers warranties are not so good. They want to have the part, test it then send a replacement or repair yours. This takes a minimum of 2 weeks from experience. We have a video card in at the moment for warranty and it is 6 weeks and counting. Get someone to build it that will forward RA parts or sit by and wait. We are a similarly sized company about 60 users. Something that has worked for us is to make everyone use the server for data file storage. This simplifies the backup of critical data greatly. Looking at your clients above they will all work happily with a freebsd fileserver running SAMBA. You will want to look at the samba documentation to make an informed decision on user security. For a start you could set up freebsd accounts that would authenticate the workstation users. For a fancier approach you could use open ldap. It all depends on your skills, money and how much redundany etc that you want. Size of the file server is going to depend on how much data that you want to hold. We have lots of cad data and the usuall kind of word docs etc. We survived for ages on 50GB but now we are up to about 100GB. Your size will depend on how much data will be held live and how much can be archived off. Useage will double every 18 months. So leave room for expansion. Backup will depend on money and how many gigs you want to backup. The more you want to backup the more it will cost. I priced a tape unit to backup 100+GB. It was going to cost about $2AUD. Instead we went to removeable ide drives. Dont just back up onto the same one over and over. Rotate them so you will need a dozen or more. Still cost us $5000 AUD. The backup software will be determined by the method you use. Look at rsync, tar, dump, AMANDA, BACKULA... For archiving of data I have found cds and dvd to be good. We make 2 copies, on for the offfice and one for the offsite. Number them and list the contents. Users can search the lists and then get the data back themselves. Archiving is something that you should spend a lot of time on. The more you can strip from the server the less size you need in storage and the smaller backup you need. Costs for your server go down dramatically. I never backup workstations so I can thelp you there. Ours are fairly static and if one is going bad it usually needs a reinstall of windas anyway. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
