Re: PnP problems on install floppy in 4.0-SNAPS from current.freebsd.org
I just tried the latest -CURRENT snapshot, 19991009 ,.. Now, on the old floppy, I could set the parameters for ed0 and it would find ed0.. now it doesn't find ed0 at all although it still finds 'unknown0' .. When you fixed this freezing, did this ruin some other detection or something to that effect? I told it to probe 0x240 @ IRQ 7 which is where it is.. all my bios settings etc have no changed since last time I used floppy (the one that froze but still found ed0) ..

I need to disable on install disk, or get a 4.0 floppy that doesn't freeze on 'unknown0', of course, not having it detected at all would be preferable :)..

Signal breakage?
Hi On line 72 of signal.h, there is a reference to 'union sigval', which is declared in sys/signal.h, but inside #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE. The X build heavily uses _POSIX_SOURCE, so this breaks. Should line 72 of signal.h not move a little further down into the #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE block below it?

Kerberized telnet not installed
I just built and installed sources cvsup'd at 17:45 CDT October 9 with
${MAKE_KERBEROS4} enabled, but the Kerberized telnet was not installed. I
looked over the recent changes to add SRA to telnet, but I am not familiar
enough with the order in which things are built and installed to figure
out what happened. I did notice that secure/usr.bin/telnet/Makefile was
brought back to life after being dead for about 3 years, but this was the
only change that really jumped out at me as being significant. Is there
something new I need do to get a Kerberized telnet? Thanks.

Uh oh, I had one of those once, no end of trouble, have you ever had
it working in any DMA mode reliably (mine wouldn't)..
One possible solution is to tell the bios it is PIO3 only mode, the
ATA driver will then run DMA on it but with relaxed timing...

Re: {a}sync updates (was Re: make install trick)
I have noticed similarly odd behaviour from softupdates during heavy IO load, where something is creating lots of little files or directories and not much else is happening. Using `vmstat 1` I can see that softupdates isn't very good at evening out the IO rate over time: there's a roughly sinusoidal back-and-forth between frantic disk thrashing (lots of TPS) and lots of syscall activity. Visible progress is correspondingly uneven. For example, the `vmstat 1` output while the script for i in `jot 256` do for j in `jot 256` do mkdir -p $i/$j done done is running is appended below. Behaviour is much smoother during an `rm -r *` of the resulting directory tree.

Still waiting for xl driver reports
A while back I posted a message here saying that I'd changed the xl driver a bit to hopefully improve performance for 3c90xB and later adapters (i.e. the "cyclone," "hurricane" and "tornado" chipsets). I asked for people to report if the changes helped, hurt, made no difference or were totally broken. So far not one person has said so much as a word to me on this subject. I need feedback from people so that I know it's safe to merge this stuff into -stable, so let's hear it already. It's been several weeks since I made the changes. Surely there are people running -current with 3Com 3c90xB cards. To reiterate, this only concerns people with the following adapters: - 3c905B-TX 10/100 - 3c905B-FX/SC fiber optic - 3c905B-COMBO 10/100 plus BNC and AUI - 3c905C-TX 10/100 - 3c980-TX server adapter - 3c980B-TX server adapter - 3c980C-TX server adapter - 3cSOHO100-TX 10/100 To a lesser extent it also concerns people with these adapters (these are 10Mbps only so the change isn't likely to be as noticable): - 3c900B-TPO twisted pair only - 3c900B-TPC twisted paid and coax (BNC) - 3c900B-COMBO twisted pair, AUI and BNC - 3c900B-FL fiber optic Ideally, the changes should provide slightly faster performance with less CPU usage. Performance/CPU overhead comparisons with other cards (in the same machine!) would he helpful as well as comparisons with the same 3Com card using the older driver revision. Things that would not be helpful include: - Asking about an unrelated problem from 3.2-RELEASE, 3.3-RELEASE or 3.3-STABLE. - Telling me that your card isn't detected properly and not realizing that you have "plug and play OS" set to "yes" in your BIOS config. - Asking about a completely different card. From a completely different manufacturer. - Saying that you'll be happy to run some tests "as soon as you find some time." If you couldn't find the time by now, you never will. - Giving me an excuse for not sending me any feedback earlier. I don't care if your dog got run over, your house was invaded by giant ants, your entire family contracted the bubonic plague or aliens stole your computer. - Asking me how to set up a 3Com card in Linux. (Comparing the xl driver's performance with the Linux 3Com driver is acceptable, provided you run the comparison on the same hardware. Comparing a PIII 600Mhz host running Linux to a PII 300Mhz host running FreeBSD is not a fair comparison. Unless FreeBSD ends up being faster. :) -Bill -- = -Bill Paul(212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Columbia University, New York City = "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" = To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: The eventual fate of BLOCK devices.
Jonathan M. Bresler wrote in list.freebsd-current: FWIW, I got unsubscribed, too. While I were at it, I sent a "which" command to the majordomo, and the result did not list me as a member of freebsd-announce and freebsd-security- notifications. When I tried to re-subscribe, it told me that I am already subscribed... Seems like majordomo is major buggy. ;-) youare subscribed to freebsd-announce as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which oes not match the email [...] Oh, I'm very sorry for the confusion. When I said "I", I really did not mean myself but the local newsgate (I prefer to read the lists via NNTP, which is very convenient). The newsgate is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I sent both the "which" and the "subscribe" commands under that address, when the problem occured that I described in my previous mail (see above). I'm pretty sure that I didn't do anything wrong. Here's the whole story: - I sent a "which" command from the newsgate account. - Got a response with about 30 lists to which that account is subscribed. - Compared those lists to the lists that the newsgate is prepared to handle (and to which it was once subscribed). - Noticed that three lists were missing: announce, arch, and security-notifications. - Sent "subscribe" commands for those three lists to the majordomo, again using the newsgate account. - Re-subscription to the -arch list was successful. For the other two lists, I received a notice that I (the newsgate account) was already subscribed. this is not a majordomo bug. It is.

Re: The eventual fate of BLOCK devices.
: 6/ It should be possible to make an overlay device (similar to the way : ccd works), that supplies buffered characteristics to a disk. This may : be a different minor number or a differnt major number.. but be a CHR : type device. : : This would involve needless duplicatication of half of the buffer cache : implementation (maybe the simple half) unless the buffer cache goes away. : : Bruce It should be noted that the current implementation of block devices is fairly trivial, only a few dozen lines of code. I agree with Bruce: it would be silly to throw that away and spend days rewriting it. There is nothing wrong with block device's that can't be trivially fixed other then the fact that Poul seems rabidly intent on destroying them, and there isn't anything wrong with using filesystem buffers either. It should also be noted that in order to maintain cache coherency between read/write and mmap() on a block device, you either have to go through the buffer cache or you have to rewrite considerably more then just specfs. There are several trivial ways to solve the write-error problem. First, implement writes as write-through so a synchronous error can be returned. Second, implement an error code on close. There are other possibilities as well, such as implementing a single buffer pipeline and returning a delayed error, which preserves some of the write pipelining performance, or implementing an intermediate backing layer (such as swap) to buffer errored blocks for later retrieval. There are also situations where errors can be assumed to not occur, such as when using buffered VN partition which is backed by a file or swap. It isn't inconceivable that the methodology could be selected with an ioctl(), with the write-through-synchronous-return for writes made the default. This is all of a dozen lines of code. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
MajorDomo Problems
I've been mysteriously unsubscribed from -questions sometime between Oct 7th and Oct 10th. My guess puts it at late morning/early afternoon EDT on the 7th. It would seem something is up... good thing somebody mentioned the 'which' command (I'd never heard of it), I was wondering why noone was responding to an earlier post ;) Tom Embt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Kerberized telnet not installed
I just built and installed sources cvsup'd at 17:45 CDT October 9 with
${MAKE_KERBEROS4} enabled, but the Kerberized telnet was not installed. I
looked over the recent changes to add SRA to telnet, but I am not familiar
enough with the order in which things are built and installed to figure
out what happened. I did notice that secure/usr.bin/telnet/Makefile was
brought back to life after being dead for about 3 years, but this was the
only change that really jumped out at me as being significant. Is there
something new I need do to get a Kerberized telnet? Thanks.
Please send me the output of
# ldd /usr/bin/telnet
Thanks!

Re: staroffice
I just installed it out of curiosity. Everything went well until I try to execute it. It starts as if it were going to work and then it gives me a core dump with a message box that says, "An unrecoverable error has occurred. All modified files have been saved and probably can be recovered at reset" . My Linux emulation is working fine. I am using linux netscape 4.7 with glibc and many linux plugins with no problems. Anyone else seeing that.
