/dev/ppi Files aren't there! Parallel port problems.

2007-08-29 Thread James Sarasin
Hello there. I'm interesting in developing with the usermode ppi interface.
How ever on a fresh install of the latest FreeBSD Iso images I don't have
any ppi devices in /dev. From what I can tell it isn't using the correct
settings for the parallel port.
I have made sure that my parallel port is enabled in BIOS.

Thanks

Thanks.  This is good advice (along with your other note about doing  
it in the RAID volume manager).  Nearly everyone else decided to jump  
on the raid level instead and spew forth the RAID10 is better for  
database party line.  Well to you folks: once you have 1Gb cache and  
a lot of disks, there is not much difference between RAID10 and RAID5  
or RAID6 in my testing.


I ended up making 6 RAID volumes across all the disks to maximize  
spindle counts and strip the data at 16kB.  This seems to work well,  
and I can assign the other partition as I need later on.

 offset = 2 TB, and cannot be larger than 2 TB.
 
 Thanks.  This is good advice (along with your other note about doing it in 
 the RAID volume manager).  Nearly everyone else decided to jump on the raid 
 level instead and spew forth the RAID10 is better for database party 
 line.  Well to you folks: once you have 1Gb cache and a lot of disks, there 
 is not much difference between RAID10 and RAID5 or RAID6 in my testing.
 
What type I/O did you test, random read/writes, sequential writes ?
The performance of RAID group always depends on what software you
run on your RAID group.  If it's database, be prepared for many
random read/writes, hence dd(1) tests would be useless.

 I ended up making 6 RAID volumes across all the disks to maximize spindle 
 counts and strip the data at 16kB.  This seems to work well, and I can 
 assign the other partition as I need later on.

 On the upside, you're now irreplaceable and can't be fired.

On the downside, he's locked into his position, and will never move up.

help to track server crash (LONG)

2007-08-29 Thread Alexandre Biancalana
I've a 6-STABLE (sources from 2 weeks ago) server that is rebooting at
random, I changed memory, cpu, motherboard and the problem persists. This
machine is a firewall, running pf, squid and bind.

Now I recompiled the kernel with debugging bits. Follow the debug session,
dmesg and kernel config file.

I apreciate any help to track this down,

package xkeyboard-config not available

2007-08-29 Thread remrot
Hi there,

 I'm trying to install Xorg from packages but it does not work because the
xkeyboard-config package isn't available for download. I tried about 5
mirrors with the same result. When  I login with firefox, I can see the
package in the Latest but not in the All folder. Download is not
possible.

 I am new to FreeBSD so I'm not sure if it's normal that packages are
missing for a short period (e.g. for maintenance reasons) or if this is a
serious error...

 thx for any responses

My girl has her hands in training (albeit in occupational health 
safety (not her primary job, her superiors just like her approach)) but
I have not any formal training ability (actually, I'm a bad teacher).

I just try to give freely what I have learned (I've learned more than
I've given), and for some reason, the people I leave my knowledge with
end up knowing more than me...go figure :)

Very off topic, but still, the reminder that flow of information is
vital is very important IMHO.
