Maybe it's only incorrect exports file??

Re: atheros broadcast/multicast corruption with multiple hostap's

2010-12-13 Thread Maciej Milewski
Hi Adrian,
I've found the chipsets you were asking - those cards are pretty popular as 
far as I can see on many wireless forums.

  I have only 11agb radios though:
 Which chipsets are they?
 NL-5354MP + Aries2
It looks that it's
miniPCI Atheros 5213, Senao NL-5354MP Plus Aries2
[1]
5004 MP Atheros 4G / CM9
Atheros AR5004 4th generation chipset. 
AR5213 (MAC+BB) + AR5112 (2.4/5GHz radio)
more info [2]
 What I'd really like to do is write up a set of testing procedures for
 doing things to the ath driver - in station, hostap and adhoc modes -
 so I can test my local 11n+refactored HAL against it. If you've got a
 working setup then I'd like to try and get that documented and
 reproducable, complete with a set of tests for each to try and ensure
 that as much stuff works as possible.
That would be very nice to have it in one place to follow in case of any 
suspected problems.

 I'd also like to make sure that the AR5416 HAL as shipped in FreeBSD
 behaves the same way as the AR5210,AR5211,AR5212 HALs as well. I only
 have an AR5213 card here; the rest of mine are 11n (AR5416, AR9160,
 AR9280.)

 I don't know if I'm going to be able to get all of this into
 9.0-RELEASE but I'd like to try. The atheros 11n chipsets are
 everywhere now; I'd like to both support the legacy stuff and the new
 stuff with all the features fully working. :-) Right now I haven't any
 idea about what works and what doesn't.
 
 Thanks,
 Adrian

 should be used before newfs, and tunefs after newfs.
It's because geom class uses the last sector of the provider to keep his 
metadata, so if you will overwrite this sector then you lose this metadata(in 
this case label). So to not lose this metadata you should use geom_label first 
and then newfs on the /dev/label/...
I think that using ufs label should be sufficient, glabel supports them too 
(under /dev/ufs directory).

Re: 8.0-RELEASE-p2: boot0cfg yields vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error

 Greetings.  I'm testing NanoBSD images for eventual use in an Alix board
 and have run into an issue with the boot0cfg lines in the update scripts,
 in multiple environments.  Specifically, any use of boot0cfg yields a
 successful output[1], followed by:
 ...
 Any ideas?  Bug or
 user error?  Thanks.

Brian,
try changing in updatep1 and updatep2 to use gpart not boot0cfg:

#boot0cfg -s 1 -v ${NANO_DRIVE}
gpart set -a active -i 1 ${NANO_DRIVE}

I think is the problem. I was having similar errors as you while I was using 
boot0cfg.

Re: File system corruption

 I have a co-lo server I've been maintaining for a few years now running IDE
 drives on a mostly terrible UPS.  A few months ago, when it returned from a
 power outage (running 6.2-R) I started noticing the following in my daily
 security email:

 Checking setuid files and devices:
 find:
 /var/db/portsnap/files/2dc95ddff37a8091239e83bf7e3ce5a2c285b027891ced1919d7
6c9947c5b7db.gz: Bad file descriptor
 find:
 /var/db/portsnap/files/52abe8c91385b12272f13f4d20896067d9ba70bdec1fa2575025
858bd3e93718.gz: Bad file descriptor
 find: /var/lost+found/#238237: Bad file descriptor

 I verified that these files return the same result when trying to do any
 operation on them (including ls in the directory).

 I've managed to ignore the problem for a while now, and even upgraded to
 7.2, but I'm not sure if it will cause problems later on.  So the question
 is, without access to the console, how would I fix this?



I think tere is a need for fsck on this partition.
/var is used by many daemons for logging, mailqueue etc., so maybe the first 
thing to do would be to stop as many daemons as possible and leaving only ssh 
to get to this system remotely?
I really don't know how much dangerous could be unmounting /var on a live 
system in such case.
