A tape changer in some cases is the difference between someone getting off of their a**, and not. Once the network backup is complete, cycle this complete backup to tape which can be taken off site for longer term storage (after the network backup to 'hot' storage is done, the tape backup time becomes irrelevant). today tapes are so expensive (not just drives, but tapes) that it's better to just have many disks and swap them. Expensive is in the eye of the beholder. I have DDS-1 tapes, in the drawer above my head that are from pre-2001 that I can still pull data from. As a matter of fact, I've never (knock on wood) experienced a bad tape (numerous types). In that meantime, I've electro-magnetized dozens of platter-based hard disk drives that just went 'bad' (and subsequently recovered/restored servers from live, and tape-based backup for). I personally don't think that swapping hard-disks (one, or many per day) is a viable, feasible or cost effective approach as a backup solution for long-term data storage, especially if you prefer to be able to recover the data. Here: - network to live storage (hourly perhaps) - live storage to tape - daily - weekly - monthly - yearly ...cycle them in that manner. No matter what anyone says, experience states that I will bet on my monthly and yearly tapes as opposed to hard disk every time when the CFO is under pressure to get that directory that was 'overlooked' at last fiscal tax time.

What would it take to be mentored here?
Hello, I was intrigued by this statement on the FreeBSD News Flash page: "The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help mentor students learn more about operating system development through our normal community mailing lists and development forums. Contributing to an open source software project is a valuable component of a computer science education and great preparation for a career in software development." Presently, I'm quite unqualified to contribute to an open-source project, but I definitely want to make this a goal. I'm currently in my first year of studies in Computer Science and Programming. After acquiring an Associate's Degree from a technical school, I intend to transfer to a traditional university. I self-learned C++ starting at about age 15 but left off for a little while until finally starting college (later than most). My knowledge of C++ programming is probably on the high end of intermediate (my high school programming class was a joke, and I was able to complete the final projects for college Introduction to Programming before even starting the course), although I have little experience doing practical programming work. I was attracted to free/open-source software because of its quality and the high technical competence of its users. I started learning Linux, but after some research I quickly realized that FreeBSD is probably a much technically superior operating system (although all OSes have their use). I have a basic knowledge of Unix-like operating systems in general. I've been learning about FreeBSD by lurking on a few of the mailing lists, but haven't yet had the courage to subscribe to the hackers list. Since I'm still such a beginner and experienced developers probably don't want to "mentor" the basic programming skills learned in school, I'm not looking to contribute to a project anytime soon. (For example, I saw Gabor Kovesdan's student project posted to the wip-status list. I'm familiar with regular expressions, but I can safely say that I have no idea how I would implement even a basic grep program.) But since I enjoy computers both as a hobby and an intended profession, my goal is to be eventually skilled enough to make valuable contributions to the free software community. I'm intelligent, a good learner, and I certainly won't limit my knowledge to what they teach in school. I would like to know what specific skill sets the developers here want to see in a student to be mentored, as well as some more specific examples of the kind of work performed by mentored students, in order to have more crystallized goals towards which to focus my effort and studies.

I started using FreeBSD for my daily tasks and realized that the infamous man pages (yep, TFM pages) was a great source of knowledge. I started following questions@, hackers@, current@ and stable@ and tried to get useful information out of those. Most messages were rather cryptic at first, but as the time passed I was able to sometimes answer to other users' questions (although most times wrongly...). After a while, let's say 1 year or so, I began to read through the source code when I couldn't find the information I was looking for in the man pages or on the mailing lists. This lead me to produce the first ~ small patches (ranging from documentation clean-ups to feature additions to nonsense). I got the opportunity to begin contributing more on a regular basis when the infamous transition GCC 3.4 -> GCC 4.2 began. I happened to be quite familiar with the C standard and GCC and I found myself interested in fixing port which didn't build anymore because of GCC problems. That's the field where I actually submitted most of my PRs to date. After a few dozens PRs I was caught by the eye of a committer (miwi@, tnx!) who just began taking care of me and my PRs. I began a ports committer a few months later. Now I mainly contribute in fixing (old, broken, unmaintained, unwanted, nobody-cares, crap) ports and trying to resuscitate some interest in sparc64. As you can see, there is no "wanted skill" or "preferred goals". The project is large enough that your interests can probably match some FreeBSD need. The only advice I can give you is, don't give up. As time passes you will realize how beautiful this OS is, well structured, well documented, with nice people working at/with it. As an end note, please keep an eye to the project ideas for volunteers, at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ , you'll likely find something catching your attention and matching your interests there sooner or later!

It is - explicitly - designed to protect against catastrophic disk failure, not conflagration. And the backup job runs at 01:59:00, when all operators are happily asleep. The other advantage to this system is the cost. A (new) SCSI LTO-2 and 35 tapes runs US $2000 and up; the same four week's capacity is less than $400, maybe less than $300.

Cheap controller in the USB enclosure. I've used quite a few USB enclosures in the past years, and there are significant performance differences. As a rule of thumb, the cheaper the box, the slower it is. Of course there are exceptions to that rule. By the way, for backup purposes I use a hot-swappable IDE drive frame. The one I use is PATA (UDMA-133), but there are also ones for SATA. It's much faster than USB and more reliable. You can use atacontrol(8) to attach and detach the drive while the system is running. (For that to work reliably, the frame must be the only device on its channel, i.e. no slave, in the PATA case.) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Cheap controller in the USB enclosure. I've used quite a few USB enclosures in the past years, and there are significant performance differences. As a rule of thumb, the cheaper the box, the slower it is. Of course there are exceptions to that rule. actually - firewire enclosures are not much more expensive, but you always get at least 40MB/s ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

And more difficult to buy. Most shops here don't have them at all, they only have USB and eSATA, because most people want USB or eSATA. I just looked at one of the most popular online shops around here. They have about 50 different USB enclosures; prices start at 10 EUR. But they have only six Firewire enclosures (and none of them is 2.5"!), the cheapest one is 34 EUR. However, they do have a larger number of eSATA enclosures, about 30 different ones. But I don't know how well FreeBSD copes with hot-plugging of eSATA devices; I've never tried one of these. I'm not aware of any specific support yet, but it might work just as well as hot-plug IDE frames. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Dual NIC routing (?) problem

Ed: I took recompiled and got the same issue. If I use the LATEST mad distro I get some compile bugs (ath_desc_status was moved into ath_desc structure in ah_desc.h) which I can't completely work around (apparently the API into the HAL has changed as well). What I'm trying to do is look at the Linux driver and understand the newer API in order to get past this compile issue and see if this works. Otherwise I believe we are SOL. Does anyone know if the CURRENT contains an updated ath HAL AND driver for support of newer PCIe based chipsets? If I get it to work I will let you know... -aps ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Keyboard repetition under X11
Hi all, this is probably a silly question, but I can't find what I'm doing wrong, so I need help. I just re-installed my FreeBSD box from 6.0 to 7.0 and suddenly I can't get my keyboard to repeat when keeping a key pressed, which has always worked immediately on all my previous installs. This is what I have in my xorg.conf (added last line just to try to force repeat) Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyBoard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se" Option "AutoRepeat" "400 30" EndSection "xset q" tells me the following: Keyboard Control: auto repeat: onkey click percent: 0LED mask: auto repeat delay: 660repeat rate: 25 auto repeating keys: 00ffdbbf fadfffdfffdfe5ef bell percent: 50bell pitch: 400bell duration: 100 So, as far as I understand, I should have repetition enabled, but the keyboard isn't responding as expected. It's not a hardware problem as it still works on an older FreeBSD machine. The keyboard in question is a cheap USB keyboard identified as follows in dmesg in case that is any help: ukbd0: on uhub5 Any help appreciated, as I suspect I've done some really basic stupidity, but I can't see it.

Using gjournal + gmirror on 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) server
Hi list, I've two Intel Xeon dual core-based servers running 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64). Those servers are running a software raid-1 using geom_gmirror. Today, when I rebooted them twice with 'reboot' command, raid-1 running on both servers got degraded to 0% + filesystem check resulted in 4-5 lost non-critical files. Later I found out that 'reboot' is not a recommended way to reboot a system, and I should use 'shutdown -r now'. Anyways, I'm thinking to use gjournal (in addition to gmirror) on both servers to avoid such situation in future. I'm already using gjournal on my desktop (with no gmirror) running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1 (amd64), with no issues. So, I wanted to know if gjournal + gmirror combo is stable enough to be used on a servers. And, if I go for gjournal, since I've an existing filesystem, I've to create a separate gjournal slice, so is it okay to create that gjournal slice on a non-gmirror backed storage, hmm...?

Kismet & Intel 3945abg
Good Day, I have an HP dv9347cl with a built-in Intel 3945abg card. I am utilizing the wpi/wpifw module/driver to run my wireless card. I would like to run kismet without having to use the NDIS wrapper/ipw3945 and have not found any documentation on google/bsdforums for this. Has anyone managed to run Kismet without utilizing the NDIS wrapper and is this a Kismet support issue? Thank you in advanced! David A.

TIA You should keep in mind that the space required for the journal depends on the usage load and not the size of the data provider. In other words, if you are using the default 1Gb journal size on your desktop, it may not be enough for a busy server. I've used gjournal+gmirror on a machine - not anything really heavy loaded, but it has given me no problems. I first created the journals, and the gmirror-ed the entire disk. It works as you should expect. I have not tried creating the journal on a non-mirrored storage. I suppose this would work too, but I have no idea how safe it would be. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Get it from the author directly! If you grab: http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz Copy the contents into the src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/* and recompile, you should now see ath attach properly to the your NIC card. Thanks go to my friend jkim for pointing this out since he has a similar notebook/chipset and runs CURRENT successfully. I tried using CURRENT ath but there is to much vap support in it and it turned out the 7.0-RELEASE driver works. Now ath attaches properly and I'm going to test it out!

I can access the share from anywhere within the university network. But our university network is behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections except SSH, so I cannot access my Samba share from home.

Re: Wireless net work set up
Hello Jeff Thanks for your repply yes I noticed that and I tried what you suggested as well before but nada I tried a couple of things that may give somebody clues of what is going on 1. I use the sysintall utility and went to configure-networking-interfaces and noted the following regarding my interfaces: ndis0 rl0RealTek 8129/8139 PCI ethernet card (this is the ethernet that I am using rigth now) so the kernel on boot recognices the hardware but seems like later does not have a clue about it. Is there a config file where I should specify this? 2. I tried what jeff sugested in the following manner typig from root: Pavilion# ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.5/24 Pavilion# dhclient ndis0 DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. # This seems to be common theme all the time, I get the same thing # during boot process # Later I tried: Pavilion# ifconfig ndis0 up scan SSIDBSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS BELL455 00:1b:5b:6b:04:31 11 54M 139:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Hylafax config and Windows clients
Hi, I'm configuring new Hylafax fax server on FreeBSD 7 with Conexant chip modem. Something not working right on server, because I can't send any faxes, no matter what client I use. Modem is working in Windows, but I want to use it in a networked environment with Sane backend to replace broken Brother FAX machine. Fax machine was very busy, recieving around 150 faxes/day, so I don't want to throw for another Fax machine that will be broken after few months. So I've added user "fax", configured settings with 'faxsetup' and 'faxaddmodem'and I hoped everything should work. Here are conf files in hylafax/etc directory. I don't know where to look at?

What I'm trying to do is look at the Linux driver and understand the newer API in order to get past this compile issue and see if this works. Otherwise I believe we are SOL.
