 These articles assert that something special should be done in OS to 
 enable high performance of such drives. For ex. WD recommends to install 
 some latest drivers of particular version.
 But what about FreeBSD? Should it be configured in some special way too 
 for these drive to perform well?
 Is it aware of 4kB sector size?


I own that (I'm running 8-STABLE):

ada0 at ahcich2 bus 0 scbus2 target 0 lun 0
ada0: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 80.00A80 ATA-8 SATA 2.x device
ada0: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada0: Command Queueing enabled
ada0: 953869MB (1953525168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)

which has 4kB sectors but says 512 byte sectors :)

I use the whole disk for the FreeBSD slice, I aligned all partitions on
a multiple of 8 sectors (512*8=4096).

By default fdisk(8) uses a 63 sectors default offset:

*** Working on device /dev/ada0 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1938021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1938021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 1953525105 (953869 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
UNUSED
The data for partition 3 is:
UNUSED
The data for partition 4 is:
UNUSED


Look at start 63 statement.  Instead of fixing fdisk(8) behavior, I just
correctly edited my bsdlabel(8) table:

# /dev/ada0s1:
8 partitions:
#  size offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:4194304 174.2BSD0 0 0
  b:83886084194321  swap
  c: 1953525105  0unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit
  d:   16777216   125829294.2BSD0 0 0
  e: 1924163584   293601454.2BSD0 0 0


The important part is the offset 17 to correct the fdisk(8) offset (16+1
to align the previous 63).  The remaining offsets are calculted from the
size I gave for the partitions (in MB, which can be divided by 8).
Then I used newfs(8) with the option -f 4096.


There's another painful issue with this disk: the automatic head-parking
after few seconds.  I disabled it (with wdidle3) cause after 2 months of
use, I was at more than 35000 head-parkings...

  This video played on my 8-BETA2 (r195818, SMP, i386) with linux_base-f10
  and linux-f10-flashplugin10 without dumping core. Was your BETA2 before
  or after library version bump and, if latter, did you rebuild all your
  ports?
  
 
 I've cvsupped and rebuilt my system on Jul. 23 and rebuilt all my ports.
 linux-f10-flashplugin10 is dumping core or not working for me too.
 BTW, why nspluginwrapper doesn't find the plugin?


I assume it's cause nothing is installed under 
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ so you need to do a 

ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so \
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

just before the nspluginwrapper -v -a -i as I mentioned it in the
Handbook.

Regarding my BETA2, I mostly use the 'current' packages and some may
come from before the bump, but firefox was built on friday.  I should
try to rebuild everything... however this box is really slow...

 Does anyone know what is the status of flash9 or flash10 in RELENG_7 ?
 Following the thread of a couple of months ago, i tried to:
 - remove all linux-* ports
 - set the following in /etc/make.conf
   OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
   OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
 - set the following in /etc/sysctl.conf
   compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
 - set the following in /etc/fstab
   linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc  linprocfs   rw 0 0
 - reinstall linux_base-f8-8_11
 - reinstall linux-flashplugin-10.0r22 (which in turn brings in the
   relevant linux-f8-* ports)
 
 - also install nspluginwrapper and create a firefox plugin
 - upgrade firefox to firefox-3.5,1 (native), just in case
 - run firefox with limit stacksize 4megabytes (or variants)
   as recommended to avoid npviewer growing/not dying
 
 This was done on 3 different machines (one laptop with a centrino,
 2 desktops with AMD X2 dual core running in i386 mode) with mixed
 [in]success. On one machine thing started working well, but on the
 other two they did not (the various packages were of course slightly
 disaligned) and while trying to replicate the configuration i also
 broke the good one without figuring out why.
 Symptoms are that on certain sites or actions (e.g. switch to full
 screen on youtube videos) i get firefox freezing like this
 
 22381 luigi  13  960 82580K 57484K ucond   1   0:00  0.20% firefox-bin
 22413 luigi   1  970 72920K 33448K futex   1   0:00  0.20% npviewer.bin
 22414 luigi   1  970 72920K 33448K futex   1   0:00  0.20% npviewer.bin
 
 and recovering control (but no video) after 10+seconds
 
 I also get a lot of the following weak_unref warnings with various addresses
 
 (firefox-bin:22381): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_weak_unref: 
 couldn't find weak ref 0x297ba9f0(0x2a10d110)
 
 (but not sure how related is this, because it happens even without a
 flash plugin).
 
 I have also tried flash9 instead of flash10, o fc10 instead of fc8,
 all with similar results.
 
 Is there a recipe for a working flas9 or flash10 operation ?


The Handbook gives a reliable, i.e. reproductible one, recipe:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html
6.2.3 Firefox and Macromedia® Flash Plugin

for running Flash 9 under 7.X and with default linux_base.

I'm also working on an update for 8.X

 from what i remember, flash9 with the default linux_base (fc4)
 did not work for me (though i don't remember the details).
 Are you positive that it is a working configuration on RELENG_7 ?


Yes, I did many installations of Flash9 with fc4 and firefox 2 or 3 on
various boxes without any issues.  Since it was reproductible, it's the
recipe I put in the Handbook.

 Especially, fc4 does not support skype (except skype1.2, which however
 does not authenticate anymore), so using fc4 is not an option for
 me and i suspect desktop users in general.
 

I don't use skype, so I wasn't annoyed.

 
  I'm also working on an update for 8.X
 
 i see that for 8.x you suggest using fc10, which is also something i
 tried on RELENG_7 but had similar symptoms. Is there any known reason
 why HEAD and RELENG_7 should be different in terms of linux_base support ?
 

You should ask this question to bsam (CCed) which is our linux_base
expert.

The only reason I used in the Handbook fc4 for 7.X and f10 for 8.X it's
that they are the linux_base versions used on these respective branches.

 Running more than two building tasks under 6-stable does not introduce

 Does any one know how to solve it?
 

To improve slightly the things:

- use UP kernel (i.e. remove SMP and apic lines)
- use ULE scheduler

This will help a bit but it's not a definitive solution.

 Run mozilla with -g and repeat the problem.  Look at the traceback
 and if you get a problem with it recursing on a private mutex, then
 it is a problem with mozilla or a plugin.  If your are using

 In reply to both Marc and Roland, I confirm and say:
 
 1. usbd is really running all the time (usbd_enable=YES being in rc.conf)
 2. using the default usbd.conf, which I studied only recently to find out 
 what could be missing.
 3. added the following lines to it for testing:
 device Perfection 1650 scanner
 devname uscanner[0-9]+
 attach sane-find-scanner -q
 detach sane-find-scanner -q
 
 I still haven't got a clue of what other command could be useful here.
 I think Ialso understood that the proper attachment/detachment
 function of usbd has nothing to do with those commands. Right or
 wrong?

Do not add anything in /etc/usbd.conf, use the file you can find in
/usr/share/examples/etc/usbd.conf

Then follow
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/scanners.html
that section was written with many scanners for testing purposes, and
one of them was a Perfection 1650...

 My scanner (EPSON PERFECTION 1650) is working alright if it is connected 
 before system startup.
 But when connected to the running system it doesn't get attached by usbd. I 
 can't find out from Handbook, manpages or mailing lists what could be the 
 reason.


I assume you followed the Image Scanner section in the Handbook.
Is usbd really running?  Are you using the default usbd.conf?

 Hi Mark,
 
 I agree with you. But my initial request related to the fact that I have
 not found the Select Default Desktop menu (Figure 2-56 in
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-
 post.html#DEFAULT-DESKTOP) to select Gnome in the 5.3 release (freebsd-
 stable !!!)
 Thank you.


Actually all X11 configuration and related configurations/installations
have been removed from systinstall as of FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE.  You
should consult the X11 chapter from the Handbook instead.
I know that a note should be added in the Installation chapter of the
Handbook, I'm currently working on a fix.

 Are you sure that the server host you are using is keeping its
