lost+found
Hello, If I pull the power on my server whilst its doing heavy IO, should I get files in lost+found if my raid card has battery backed cache? I was under the understanding that the file operations were atomic, and hence freebsd's file system should have no corrupted files on the reboot. The raid card says that it is flushing the cache of the card, yet freebsd still experiences the corrupt files. What should I be looking for? I would like to also know how to turn off (or check) caching on the physical disk itself.

Printing to winprinters with LPR, no CUPS needed
So you don't like printing with CUPS or aspfilter or any of those hold-your-hand programs, eh? Well, neither do I. So you have a yucky winprinter which doesen't understand a Real Man's printer control language like any decent self-respecting printer does? Well, so do I! You can indeed print to these printers using just LPR plus the engine programs used to massage PostScript (which UNIX programs like Firefox generate) into the gross binary dreck that Winprinters digest. There are 3 keys to getting this working: 1) You must use a filter that calls gimpprint, gimpprint then calls ghostscript. You don't have to use gimpprint - some HP inkjets are supported by a HP-written driver that I believe converts the IJS output of Ghostscript into the HP winprinter stuff - you will need to play around with this. You MUST understand what gimpprint is doing! Your going to need to modify a lot of the options passed to gimpprint by hand in order to get it to work with your printer. Note that the command that runs gimpprint in the script is ALL ONE LINE, and it is really long! It is wrapped in the examples here but I'm sure you can figure this out. Note that for a FEW printer models, you can not use gimpprint at all, just use Ghostscript. For example, PCL-speaking printers. Some inkjets. This is because Ghostscript has drivers for these built right into Ghostscript. The filter is really the heart of the whole thing. CUPS prettifies all of the different options that are passed to gimpprint - you do not need to know, for example, that InkType=CMYK might need to be passed to gimpprint for your printer, because you just click a button in CUPS that does this. That is great if your a plain old user that only has point-and-click skills. It's hideous if your a network admin that wants to script anything, and it's awful if you want to know what the hell is really going on under the hood. 2) The filter must be an OUTPUT filter because the output of gimpprint is NOT 7-bit ASCII in any way, shape or form - it almost certainly is going to contain null characters and other such things that will stop any UNIX textprocessing programs cold. 3) You need to define multiple filters for different things you want your printer to do. For example suppose you normally print color but your printer takes forever to print a very high res image like a photograph, and you just want to print colored spreadsheets at a low resolution. So you would define 2 different filters, and put them on 2 different print queues, when you want to print at low res, you print to one queue, when you want to print high res, you print to the other. Now, to the instructions: The sample here is my Epson Stylus C84 color inkjet printer. I bought this printer for three reasons: 1) It has good support in gimpprint, 2) It has individual ink resivors for EACH color, so you don't have to chuck out a multi-ink cartridge just because you ran out of red. 3) It has a parallel interface in addition to USB. So, I plug my FreeBSD box into the parallel port, and my wife's Windows box to the USB port, and now I don't have to fiddle faddle around with setting up a USB print server, etc. As a bonus, I found you can communicate with this printer to ask it how much ink is left. Also, as another bonus, the C84 does understand ASCII (but of course, you can't print in color or do any of the fancy stuff with just talking ASCII to the printer) 1) Load and setup FreeBSD. Install the ports directories. 2) Plug printer into parallel port. Make sure ls -l | /dev/lpt0 or ls -l | /dev/usb0 or ls -l | lpr -P mynetworkprinterialreadysetupinprintcap makes the printer do something, even if it's nothing more than printing a few characters of garbage. 3) setup print queues (don't worry about the filter epsonfilter720x360 yet we will get to that) Add the following to the end of /etc/printcap: lp-epson-720x360|Epson C84 Color printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp-epson:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:mx=0:\ :of=/usr/local/bin/epsonfilter720x360:rw: lp-epson-raw|Epson C84 Color Printer - raw for Windows systems spooling through us and for testing:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp-epson-raw:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :mx#0:rw: Create the print queues: cd /var/spool/output mkdir lp-epson mkdir lp-epson-raw Add in access for the local systems vi /etc/hosts.lpd # # See lpd(8) #machine.domain putinmymachinesthatIwanttospoolthroughme Run some test prints through the queues: cd /etc ls -l | lpr -P lp-epson ls -l | lpr -P lp-epson-raw Don't worry that nothing comes out yet, we are only testing to make sure LPD is setup right. Note there is a bug in lpd it creates the queue spools with the wrong permissions if your very first print is from the network, this is another reason why we do these tests locally first. (may need to do a chmod 664 on the lock file in the queues, since network LPR doesen't set the mask up properly per

6.1; reiserfs works only once, then crashes system :(
Hello Family I have a problem whereas if it never worked, I'd be ok for the moment but this worked once then never worked again. I have a fully functional 6.1 system working, dual booted with an OS that has a reiserfs partition. /dev/ad3s1 I was able to do the kernel module load of the reiserfs.ko once, did a full rsync of a directory and all was well. I then went to do another rsync and it hangs for a few seconds, the does a full system reboot. I've tried the exact set of steps that worked once and was wondering if I'm missing something or is reiserfs (ro) support not really fully there yet.

Your test would be a little simpler if you just test one IP address:
your ISP's upstream router. Its reachability is quite definitive re:
whether your ISP link is up or down.
Even it it's assigned dynamically by DHCP, you should be able to
write a script that pulls that IP, pings it a few times, and checks
the result. No special tools necessarily required.

Hi All,
Thanks for your input. I was hoping there was another cmd/util out there
similar to fping that I could elegantly use. I like the above idea though,
so I ended up using this to isolate the upstream ISP gateway IP:
traceroute -nm 2 close-by Internet IP | tail -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'
Integrated that into the fping Perl script and we are away!
Thanks once again :-)

6.1 Install Halt Problems
Hello, I'm experiencing some strange problems while installing FreeBSD via CD-ROM, and hoping someone might have an idea as to what's causing this. FreeBSD will load fine, and I am able to get to the sysinstall menu, when a few minutes pass, and the computer halts. The amount of time it takes to halt is inconsistent, however its usually within the first 9 minutes of being in the sysinstall menu. Needless to say, I can't quite finish an install when this is happening. Interestingly, I popped in an older FreeBSD 5.3 install CD, and it seems to be fine, I can finish an install, and I also just let it sit inside the sysinstall menu for several hours with no problems or halts. I'm wondering if this is related to some kind of hardware incompaitbility issue, as I have ran hardware diagnostics and successfully installed FreeBSD 5.3, Linux, and Windows on this same box with no problems. I've read through the hardware requirements for 6.1, and nothing seems to be out of order (unless I'm missing something obvious), any ideas?

Sysinstall - Will not die
If this has been discussed before, please point it out. I've done some searching and can not quite come up with the solution other than to reboot the server. I'm hoping a reboot can be avoided. I recently attempted to run sysinstall to install something that was not listed in the ports collection. Sysinstall is still running in the back ground as a result of my ssh session getting terminated. Now, I can not kill sysinstall. I found some things on the web that pointed out there may be a parent that is keeping the child thread alive. That parent has been killed off and I still can not kill sysinstall. I am noticing some things in the messages log that may be as a direct result of sysinstall still running. I am getting the following two lines logged all the time: Jul 9 16:51:16 cgate kernel: acd0: req=0xc3833640 TEST_UNIT_READY semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!

default umask for Apache
Hello; I've not had to do this on a Unix system before. But now I have Apache running as nobody and have php scripts creating and writing to directories. The files it creates have the default mask rw-r-r and I want to change it to rw-rw-- so I can remove the files and dirs with group write permissions via ftp. I'm using default csh. I don't remember where to find this info in Complete FreeBSD, or other sources. so: question How do you change the default mask for a user like Apache on a Unix system? /question (I assume there is a separate default for both files and directories.) Other wise I have to manually cd into each directory, remove the files as root, cd back, remove the dir, cd to the next, etc. It could add up to hundreds of directories with multiple hundreds of files to remove. Maybe I could practice shell scripting with this, or modify the php code to unlink the files and remove the dirs. But i may need to save some for future reference. thanks in advance; JK ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I put this card in my suse 10 machine and had no problems with it so I am surely at a lost now. I will just get an intel GigE card probably give will me better performance anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Belkin Wireless G notebook card
I am trying to get a Belkin Wireless G notebook card running on a Sony VAIO laptop, FreeBSD 6.1. I followed the advice in the handbook and copied the following files from the Belkin CD to the if_ndis directory: rt61.inf and rt61.sys and ran ndiscvt -i rt61.inf -s rt61.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h after make and make install I did: kldload ndis kldload if_ndis This gave an error if_ndis: file exists. But kldstat showed the if_ndis driver loaded. I also tried copying the RT619x.sys file to the if_ndis directory, and doing ndiscvt -i rt61.inf -s rt61.sys -o -f RT619.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h make, make install. None of these seem to enable the card. dmesg tells me: cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000 cardbus0: network at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000 This sounds like there is some sort of builtin database that needs to be modified, but I can't seem to find anything in the handbook or manual pages. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

I was trying to extract if you had it working on a 1.1.x install of CUPS and when you updated it to 1.2.0 it stopped working. A lot of people are having issues with CUPS at 1.2.0. I recommend going to the mailing list archives and going through the several CUPS threads to see if anything there may help you, if you haven't already.

FreeBSD 6.1 SMP Kernel - Cardbus issue
Hello All, I am stuck on a FreeBSD 6.1 SMP Kernel issue that won't allow me to use my Cardbus wireless nic. I did a little digging and I found that a driver is not being loaded for the pci0 bridge device. Is there a way to load a driver for this device? I think this will resolve my issue. Is there such a thing as a non-cardbus wireless nic? If so please let me know the chipset/card. I beleive this is another way to solve my problem.
