 Interesting. No difference whatsoever. And because I am a (l)user, I
 am not going to even try to theorize what happened and why. The only
 thing I will say is that each directory I copied - there were five,
 all contained literally more than 10Gigabytes (usually more) of
 useless data each (ok the mp3 collection isn't so useless).
 
 This might be reproduce-able by creating 20 or so 500MB files and
 stuffing them into various subdirectories, totalling 10Gb in one
 directory. copy that 5 times by giving the same directory a different
 name. Then take a look at the drive stats via df. Just remember that
 in my case the destination partition was mounted sync.
 
 Is there anything you would like to have done - or can I use the 3.9

To be on the safe side, run a 3.8 fsck. Easiest way to do that is copy
a 3.8 bsd.rd and boot that. Go to the shell and run fsck -f.

Perhaps that is becuase mySql seems to be very often used as a glorified

OpenBSD use lists instead of DB functions in BGPd for example.

2006-04-08 Thread Daniel Ouellet
Just for my person education and understanding, BGPd for example use the 
lists functions from the system instead of any of the various DB functions.


Obviously the lists functions are kept in RAM, so this is definitely 
much faster, a lots, but when is it that one would switch to DB 
functions instead of lists. What kind of rules of thumb would one use to 
select one over the other?


I guess is the routing table were 10 millions routers, it may simply 
doesn't make any sense as the memory might well not be there to support it?


What is the situation where it makes sense to use the built in DB 
functions and witch one to elect using instead of the lists?


I am trying to understand when it makes sense to select what in the 
design time.


My situation now is about 350K records and might grow to may be 500K.

But technically, in the maximum limits, I can't see a case where the 
operation would be so big as to use that much, but it's always possible 
to reach 500 millions records, but I can't imagine that possible really.


I was and am thinking to use SQL instead as it make sense, but in 
practice, 300K records should really covers it all.


So, what's logical to use here you think?

If BGPd had to carry let say, 10 millions routers, would the design have 
been the same for the selection of lists as it is now?


What would have make it different and if so, the use of the native DB 
function would have been selected, or would SQL database be preferred 
then? The response time needs to be less the .75 second.


Thanks for advise and logic selection process.

OT: FAX to Email via SIP in VoIP standard documentations request.

2006-04-08 Thread Daniel Ouellet
May be someone may have some URL that they could share with me. I am 
looking and researching good documentations for building daemons to 
actually process G711 VoIP calls from FAX group 3 or others to a device 
to be built to convert and extract the FAX data and convert it to TIFF 
format, or other to finally be sent via emails.


I got some data for building CNAM server for caller ID and it's working 
very well so far and now in production, but I also need to built one for 
FAX to Email processing and I am hitting the walls in getting proper 
documentations on the standard and process, etc.


Anyone actually have good docs they could share would be very appreciated.

The process is very simple in principal anyway.

PSTN - Cisco 5350 SIP Gateway - SIP network server for call processing 
- FAX recipient.


The FAX recipient is an OpenBSD server listening on SIP port like any 
standard SIP phones that is seen as a standard SIP device and after the 
communications establish will process and extract the data part from the 
G711 connection to get the FAX part out of it and then convert it to a 
standard format like TIFF of something else to then be email via 
standard mail server to the final users that can get their email that 
way using standard tools. May be the TIFF could also be converted to PDF 
or anything really after the data is extracted, it's easy to convert it 
to something else.


Sorry for the off topic question, I am having problem finding good 
documentations on the subject to build this efficiently and properly. 
There is data available, but may be not as good as I would need it to be.


Thanks for your time is you have anything available or came across 
something interesting to read by chance.

Daniel

It has to do with how much information other than that essential
to the data itself, and how sensitive a system would be to
corruption of that data. Any provision so that readers do not
interfere with writers requires a vastly more complicated
structure which must be much more sensitive to errors than
something that does not exist.

However, if there is redundancy, and you can take advantage
of that redundancy, the odds shift enormously.

Taking advantage is  non-trivial maybe the best term.

Re: strange lockup problem with firefox + dual head display

 Also, I should add that I have been using firefox in a single-head

 safe to say that the freezing does correlate with my using a

Since nobody else responded, here goes nothing...

ISTR there being some problems with certain graphics libraries and
dual-headed configuration - Firefox uses GTK+, IIRC, and the ports
dependencies support this.

You could try to narrow down the problem by using other GTK+-based
applications, especially some that use a lot of graphics; if those show
the same problem, but stuff that doesn't use GTK+ doesn't (for instance,
plain xterm but also Qt-based apps; most of KDE, that is), it's likely
to be a GTK+ problem.

If this is the case, you could try upgrading GTK+ (from -current, for
instance) to see if the problem goes away (though that is not
supported), and/or file a bug report.

It might also be Firefox-specific, in which case upgrading to -current
might help as well.

In either case, do report back! This is something that could bear a
little debugging.

  The more I look at it, and think about it, I'm guessing the

  switch, actually holding onto information about the directly connect

  signal whatsoever.
 
 I experienced this same sort of weirdness when setting up a pair of
 redundant routers.  The two upstreams, which I had no control 
 over, ran
 OSPF.  If I powered off the machine, all was well.  If I simply halted
 the machine, or there was power to it at all, their OSPF daemon would
 detect a link and continue to route in the direction of our downed
 router.
 
 The problem, in the end, was that the Dell 1850s primary onboard
 ethernet controller will exhibit link when there is power to 
 the board.
 The secondary, and any PCI/PCI-X cards that we added on afterward, did
 not exhibit this behavior.

Thanks everyone for your ideas on this. As it turns out, the issue is
indeed the switch's redundant fiber port not releasing. As soon as power
hits the server's motherboard, a link is present on the switch - even
though all of my fiber NICs are in PCI slots. The only way I can
reliably failover the switch port is to remove power completely from the
router.

To do this, I'm thinking a combination of:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/powerswitch/
and:
http://www.servertech.com/products/product.aspx?GroupID=1ProductID=12#


Of course the powerswitch script will need a bit of hacking, and I'll
need to wrap the whole deal in a looping testing script, looking for
when stge0 on the backup becomes master. Then I'm thinking of attempting
a 'ssh master -c halt -p', waiting a certain amount of seconds, and
then switching off the power to the plug.

Does that sound like a reasonable approach? Anyone already done this and
have some lessons for me?


Thanks,

problem building xine-lib on 3.8

I am now trying to build xine to be able to display mjpeg files on OpenBSD.

I don't see any reference to 'BREG' in the source code.
google 'xibe-lib breg openbsd' returns indications of a 
problem with fPIC, but the messages are from 2003.
Can this be made to work with 3.8 or 3.9?

Thanks,

If you made a field too short for some of the data which comes along
there are two different approaches as to how to handle the situation.
First is to identify the problem and roll back so that

started. This is what real RDMSs apparently do.
   
   Say what? A real RDBMS does not roll back transacations when 
  you failed to 
   design your fields properly or when you modify a table.
   
  
  A real RDBMS keeps your well designed data consistent and safe, that's
  the point.
 
 That looks like a completely accurate statement.
 (But what about all your data BEFORE it has been well designed etc?)
 

The question then should be ``Do i need the data in the state from
before and shouldn't be the tape backups enough?'' ;-)

  
Second is to keep going and minimize the damage as best you can.
   
   I dont really understand what youre  trying to say. Keep going 
  and minimize 
   damage? How would you do that when your fields are too small? 
  And what has 
   this got to do with PostgreSQl v.s mySql anyway?
   
  
  PostgreSQL HAS methods to help your data to be more safe... without
  using other table types, replication or such workarounds.  No flames,
  just facts.
  
This is what systems that face the real world are forced to do.
   
   Are you saying that real RDBMS' arent used in the real world?
   
  
  Superficality vs. thoroughness is what i see in the real world as well
  as in this case.
  As already read in other posts to this thread there are reasons for
  superficality... even if i'm estimating it more as redundant work, but
  that's really up to the people with the actual problem/solution.
  I like to have a lot of work ONCE in a while without the need to care
  about it for the next few decades.
  
There was a crack in this about MySQL being an SQL-looking front end
to a file system. Actually very perceptive. You can use the filesytem
to move stuff around and get away with it very nicesly.
   
   Perhaps that is becuase mySql seems to be very often used as a 
  glorified 
   replacement for flatfiles, especially by webdesigners.
   
  
  Doh... do we now talk about those who don't even known what they need a
  SQL frontend for?  Thanks... out of (my) context ;-)
  
As to losing data, I suspect you'd lose a lot more
from PostgreSQL than MySQL on a failing hard drive.
   
   I seriously doubt that.
   
  
  But i second that.  Assuming one's using referetial integrity,
  definitely!  More constistent data is more valuable data!
 Out of curiousity, how does referential integrity guard against
 damaged disks? What does the system do when you lose the things
 that the system guarantees have to be there?

I meant the actual lose of value... trying to imply that worked off data
is worth a backup ;-)

Just conclusions from a few years experience with both database systems.

Re: Motion Jpeg Video on OpenBSD

followup:

Jacob Meuser suggested using ffplay from the ffmjpeg package.
I installed ffmjpeg-20050413.tgz from the 3.8 package collection
and ffplay does in fact play video from my ethernet-connected
