Setting this issue on a technical trail now. 1. I built a kernel with USB_DEBUG enabled. BTW, there doesn't seem to be a way to set debug levels for USB subsystems at boot time, i.e. via hints. Or am I missing something? It seems that the levels can only be set via sysctl but that's too late for

IFCAP_LRO on FreeBSD 7

Hi All, Is there a native interface for LRO in FreeBSD 7? I can't find any use for IFCAP_LRO but notifying the driver if to use or not to use this offload. If not, is it planned for FreeBSD 8? Thanks Yony ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list

I increased debug level in uhub and also switched mouse and keyboard ports hoping that order might matter. It didn't. Here's fresh usbdevs output snippet: Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), Intel(0x), rev 1.00 uhub2 port 1 addr 3: low

Mirroring the entire slice is far simpler. If you mirror individual partitions, you have to label them *before* you newfs them. What we're really trying to accomplish is an automated install via a PXE boot server. Unfortunately gmirror isn't available in mfsroot at the point the file systems

So what you do, instead, is make sure there is a little space left over at the end of the slice that you create in the first step. Then, once gmirror is available, you gmirror label the slice, then gmirror insert the corresponding slice on the other disk(s), and gmirror rebuild. No copying

I wouldn't use a sysinstall script. Yeah, I should probably have done it that way but I inherited the existing sysinstall framework from someone else and ended up extending it to use gmirror. I know more about this area now and I'd like to redo the whole thing, avoiding sysinstall. That will
