I've looked into Linux for this and the problem stems from the fact that the kernel has to be patched with the code to perform this functionality. The linux kernel, being a separate entity from the rest of the system, makes it difficult to keep an SSI system up to date kernel wise. BSD seems to develop the kernel and utilities as one, lending itself to easier integration of these features, perhaps? I'd be willing to donate money to the project to see functionality like this implemented! Thoughts? Is there anyone I can speak to about funding a sub project for OpenBSD SSI?

Re: Question about filesystem
out of curiosity, which FFS were they studying? On Feb 5, 2011, at 6:32 AM, Jean-Francois wrote: Hello, I just read some extracts of a paper, study from Margo Seltzer Keith A. Smith from Harvard university, a comparison of LFS FFS. It looks like the creation of files in FFS is rather long such as creation of many small files is somewhat not very fast compared to certain other FS. As well, the fragmentation is less optimized on disks handling lots of changes than some other FS. Basic questions from my side, is FFS-2 better than FFS in the sense of dealing with creation of many small files, and is fragmentation less than with FFS ? Are other file systems with some improvement of performance compared to FFS available for OpenBSD ? In other words, I'm not critisizing at all a FFS file system which I do use successfully for few years now, what about optimizing a server by mounting some disks with different types of file systems, is this available at all ? Yes, I read FAQ and I seem to understand that all of it is simply not convenient if possible at all. But the question is worth to me in the sense, there are probably lot of interesting things about file systems use in OpenBSD not yet documented. Thanks, Regard J.-F.

so let's try to keep this thread going as long as possible.
how is his kind of certainty bad from a professional view?
because of the rest of your message, which is about the imperfection inherent
in real life
people who are looking for clear cut certainty in life are unable to deal with
the huge grey areas that come up when administering a real world system.
I encounter this attitude in management who want to be able to say we have a
firewall with features x y and z, so the network is secure, or much worse and
more typical using ${CommercialSoftwarePackage} is safe as long as you have
applied all the patches.
These attitudes, like the guy from Xen land a couple of weeks ago who thought
he would compliment the developers on misc@ by saying that OpenBSD is a
Perfectly Secure Operating System, are (imho) caused by the delusion that
it's possible to be certain about these kinds of things.
Good Developers and Administrators (again, imho) say things like we have
audited the code and eliminated all instances of ${BadIdea}. No one has
reported a remote root hole in x days or we've done these things, and are
monitoring the logs to see what kind of attack is tried next.
The specific mistake I believe mr nix was making is assuming that because he
read something in a man page (and earlier, something else in a FAQ) that
1. it's possible for the statement to be true
2. actually true.
3. and therefore, his mail server will never lose mail when it crashes.
the guy from Xen land, so said something like it's highly unlikely that there
are any bugs in the hypervisor was making the same mistake. he was assuming
that it's possible to have perfect software running on perfect hardware, and
therefore didn't listen to people telling him that neither condition was
actually being met.
it all works on a good enough level (for various values of good),
otherwise we wouldn't be using it at all. nothing is perfect in life,
it is always barely good enough, why would IT be different?
not many people go on elaborate ontogenetical discussions what
the manual _really_ meant by atomic operation or sql transaction.
why don't we go down right to the subatomic level and just say
we don't even exist? that you are reading a message that
perchance does not exist?
if humankind was expected to make things perfect, it would be still
working on the wheel.. we build systems that are acceptably reliable
inside certain boundaries, made on certain budgets.
that these budgets are evershrinking and quality is becoming
a verb in past perfect without future tense, that is another
sad story. we are cheap. we get what we pay for.

So, just put some logic into your .profile to cd $HOME if the physical directory is that of $HOME. case $PWD in $(cd $HOME pwd -P) ) cd $HOME;; esac I have put that at the end of my .profile and it works for remote login (ssh).

Re: xbase43 and friends, no MD5 checksums?
you're right - i'm having a hard time digging up the relevant citation myself. If i remember correctly, the explanation usually given is that the x* distribution sets are built separately from the other packages. ( different times, different machines ). it would be complicated to maintain a single checksum file under these circumstances. As to why there aren't 2 different checksum files, one for the regular sets and one for the xenocara sets, I can only speculate that none of the developers feels a pressing need to implement such a system.

Re: possible setup bug -- chose of default a partition can be wrong like if it is swap
On May 18, 2008, at 8:54 AM, Jay wrote: you are making a lot of bad assumptions. If I have my a slice/partition is a small swap partition and my c slice is a large BSD partition, setup should install to c. you should not use c for anything. it's the whole disk. Or at least maybe prompt. Usually I want fewer prompts/questions, but.. I ran into this problem because Solaris setup encourages the swap partition/slice to be first. solaris does this because it expands the installer into the swap partition and runs it from there. Luckily a filled up during setup and not later, so damage/pain was minimized. you're assuming that openbsd partitions need to be on the disk in alphabetical order. this is false I realize the defaults in the install and the directions have you create the BSD slice/partition as a so if you ignore Solaris you tend to get it right. yes. if you don't assume that openbsd will work like other OS and actually read the docs you tend to be better off Any chance ever of a swap file instead of a swap partition/slice? yes. i leave the googling up to you. I'm sure this isn't a good bug report, and debatable, so misc... Im _guessing_ that what you're trying to achieve ( unadvisedly ) is to have a tiny swap partition at the beginning of the disk and a single partition for the OS. I'm not going to bother preaching at you about why this is bad, if you were interested in why you'd have already taken the time to find out. you can do this by creating the b (swap) partition first during the install and then creating the a partition _physically_after_it_ on the disk. Luckily, you don't have to do it this way. you can simply follow the instructions in the INSTALL.platform file and end up with a sane partitioning scheme. - Jay Ben

Re: Troubleshooting NFS/SFU

I've got OpenBSD 4.1-stable (10.0.0.1) with an NFS export of my home directory. I also have a Windows XP machine (10.0.0.2) and installed the SFU 3.5 NFS client. Are most of your clients going to be windows machines? if so, you should thing seriously about using samba.

I can successfully mount this share locally and perform both reads and writes. Without any of SFU's User Name Mapping configured, I can mount the share with uid/gid of -2/-2 as advertised. Appropriately, I cannot access any files or directories that are not world-readable. However, inside a chmod-777 directory, I cannot create files or directories (which might be as expected). After configuring User Name Mapping to map my Windows account to the UNIX account, I can mount the share with the expected uid/gid. Please provide specifics? do you mean with the david:guest uid:gid mentioned above? Although I can read user-only files and directories, I still cannot create any files or directories. what user:group are the parent directory? david:guest, or something like david:david ? what permissions are they? Windows keeps reporting that the drive has write-protection enabled. What do the log files on the server say? I know this isn't a SFU help forum, but any ideas to try or tips on troubleshooting the NFS side is more than welcome. Thanks in advance. --david P.S. On an unrelated sidenote, does mountd always bind to the same ports by default? man mountd ( http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi? query=mountdapropos=0sektion=0manpath=OpenBSD +Currentarch=i386format=html ) will answer this for you If not, is there a way to fix them at certain values, so that PF rules can be written to match?

If the program is waiting for one write to finish before commiting the next, it'll be slower, but if you ran the same program and redirected the output to a file, you'd see no difference on the console or an xterm. I can think of several reasons why this is a good thing, but as this list is populated by people who are a lot smarter than myself I won't postulate as to the actual reason why it was decided to have the console be slow. --Bryan Ben - The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life. -- Calvin - What's the point of wearing your favorite rocketship underpants if nobody ever asks to see 'em? -- Calvin

Which archs supported by openbsd are better suited for that kind of work? thanks I think you're referring to this bit from the article: snip For instance, i386-class machines are not able to handle much more than 10,000 interrupts per second, no matter how fast the CPU is, due to architectural constraints. /snip please note the difference between 'x86' and '386'. He's saying that 15 year old hardware is inadequate. Unless you're running 15 year old hardware, this does not apply to you.
