Newbie - Problems with OpenOffice1.0.1
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 (i386) Recently, I installed OpenOffice via ports. It worked fine until all of a sudden it refuses to start up but instead says /kernel: pid xxx (javaldx) exited on signal 11 (core dumped) /kernel: pid xxx (soffice.bin) exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Now, what's going wrong here? All I did was to compile options EXT2FS into the GENERIC kernel; this couldn't possibly have anything to do with this, could it?

Re: maxusers and random system freezes
On Thu, 5 Dec 2002, David Schultz wrote: In FreeBSD, each process has a unique 4G virtual address space associated with it. Not every virtual page in every address space has to be associated with real memory. Most pages can be pushed out to disk when there isn't enough free RAM, and unallocated parts of the virtual address space aren't backed by anything. (Referencing an unmapped page that the system doesn't know about generally causes the program or OS to crash. You've probably seen these as ``segmentation faults'' and ``page fault in kernel mode'' panics.) To simplify things, the kernel is mapped into a fixed location in every address space. The KVA parameter controls how big a chunk the kernel gets; the remainder goes to user processes. However, only the part of the KVA reservation that the kernel actually uses is wired to physical memory. For example, if you have a 1 GB KVA reservation and the kernel allocates only 20 MB of RAM, then only 20 MB of RAM is needed (plus some epsilon if you want to be picky), but in theory, the kernel could allocate and manage up to 1 GB of data. You don't lose extra physical memory for increasing KVA, but a large KVA size does constrain the virtual address space available to user processes. Thank you David for such an excellent explanation.

Then may be it'll be oevrall better to reduce it and make KVA space 2G, to leave more room for user address space? That's the one I was referring to, yes, but you didn't post your whole config (please do *NOT* post it; I can't spend the time on going over it line by line). All other config options are pretty much like the default ones. Tuning is a skill; it can be plotted out as a cookbook recipe, but it takes a lot of work to do that, and no one has volunteered. Basically, to write out a cookbook, you have to know where every byte of memory is going in the kernel, and what tunables impact each other, and how they are related. Once you know that, you could easily write a program to kick out a configuration file for various usages, or even modify the code to auto-tune itself (everything by KVA space, which impacts the base address that the kernel gets linked to... unless you compile the entire kernel PIC, which I do not recommend). But knowing the information is hard. I know it for 4.3 and 4.4. You're right, expecially for getting an _ideally_ tuned kernel. However in a real life, a specialist cannot have an absolute knowledge about _all_ server and other issues, so practical solutions are being looked for in items which can arise. Of cause, no one is arguing that a basic knowledge is needed and required. ... If you are having system freeses at random, and you want to fix them instead of living with them, some experimentation is going to be inevitable. I don't know enough about your installation to be able to give you a kernel config file to use that will magically fix all your current issues for you, and prevent future issues from coming up. That's going to have to be up to you. Surely, I'm just trying to reduce the experimental attempts as much as possible and to rise the chances of success for each new configuration version. ... No, the swap is very slightly used on this server, and the total swap size is 2G. It doesn't matter. The amount of swap the kernel allocates page tables for is based on the amount of physical RAM in the machine. You pay for the page tables whether you use them or not, for swap, for the kernel, and for any memory which you permit to be allocated at interrupt time, plus any allocations that occur after you are up and running, until you run out of physical RAM. This is one of those things you just have to know about how the kernel uses virtual memory, if you are going to be a skilled kernel tuner. As a rule, swap should be at least physical memory size + 64K on any system that you need to be able to get a system dump from, since it needs to dump physical RAM. If you are not worried about the machine falling over, then you can ignore that. Note that man tuning suggests 2* physical RAM for swap. PS: I am going to be out of touch (able to download, but not send email) for the next couple of days... up to a week.

4.7-stable won't boot on Asus P2B-DS board :-((
I have a nice one for the hardware freaks on this list; An Asus P2B-DS board, with the latest bios (1013), 2 P-II processors, And IDE harddisk and DVD-drive that loads a freebsd iso CD, and 512 Megs of RAM that count correctly won't boot 4.7-Stable. I've downloaded the latest iso just a few days ago. The only weird thing that is reported is @ boot, just before the kernel loads; Bios drive C: is disk2 Bios drive C: is disk3 Whatever kind of kernel configuration I try to boot, it hangs after detecting devices. In standard kern-conf, this is straight after plip. Since I'd really like to run freebsd on this machine, i'm very willing to provide you with more debug information. I have already tried different IDE harddisks, and putting the harddisk on a different IDE connector. Please please, some help would be very much appreciated.

Re: ipfw firewall help
Easiest way I have found to troubleshoot rule problems is to turn on
logging for your deny rules and find out what rule is blocking the
traffic. Just add the 'log' or 'log logamount nn' (where nn is a number
of entries to create). Once you try to connect again, you can then read
/var/log/security and see where the packets are being dropped.
Another good method of troubleshooting is using # tcpdump -i ifaceX
(where ifaceX is the interface the traffic is going through first).
After you verify traffic can get through the first interface, dump the
other interface. You will get results verifying whether the traffic was
able to come in to the interface, and whether it was able to go back out.
You may also want to post to freebsd-ipfw.
Hope this helps!

Please forgive me for asking this, I know it's probably been gone over
numerous times.
I have a network at a colo facility with a freebsd machine and 3 nic's.
Outside nic and the others for the internal networks. I get routed
3 class C's, and the machine is routing and acting as a gateway perfectly.
We decided to close everything and add as needed (ports).
As far as incoming traffic/ports, etc, everything is perfect. But if I
get on any of the internal machines and try to browse the web (windows
update) etc., nothing works.
I'm sure it's something totally simple I'm missing, since it's a colo
facility it's not like it's an office land and people are there but I need
the ability to be on a server there and be able to browse, ftp, etc, all
of which are broken.
Could someone help me figure out what I've done wrong?
Here's the rules I have, the firewall is set to OPEN so it runs
/etc/rc.firewall and adds the 3 generic rulesets, then runs rc.joe which

Goal is if we're on any of the 227 subnetted machines and wish to do
anything on the internet that we be allowed to do so, such as ftp, telnet,
browse the web, etc.
These rules are also in effect as rc.firewall sets them:

Squid and NATD with Redirect of ports
I'm having the following problem. FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE (but with any version it does not work either) I've a FreeBSD connected to a cable network, with only one IP Address. My FreeBSD has three network cards. One is connected to my internal network, other is connected to the cable, and the other is connected to a server that has some serves something to the Internet. I'm using IPFIREWALL and NATD, and without squid everything works fine. But I have to use SQUID + SQUIDGUARD to block some content and urls. The problem is: When the client is using squid, it requests www.somesite.com that is hosted at the server conected to this FreeBSD and has a non valid IP address. External access works because NATD redirects the port 80 to the internal address, but SQUID, that is located at the firewall, resolves the www.somesite.com to the local ip address and tries to connect to the localhost port 80. It does not pass the packets to the natd to redirect because it is a local ip address. Then i get Connection Refused because there is no web server at the firewall. Any ideas how i can solve this problem? I really need the clients using the squid at the IE configuration.

amr AMI MegaRAID IDE card: spare drive as slave?
I have an AMI MegaRAID sold by Dell as a CERC ATA100; it has 4 discreet channels of IDE and can do RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10. I've been running it as RAID 1 for a couple months no problem, with a pair of WD1200JB 120G disks and a pair of 20G disks -- two logical partitions. The man page only talks about the amr driver for SCSI so I'm guessing that the interface to the computer looks identical to the AMI SCSI cards, but the disk interface is simply IDE. chris@pectopah_34% dmesg|grep am amr0: AMI MegaRAID mem 0xfeb0-0xfeb0 irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci0 amr0: CERC ATA100/4ch Firmware 6.61, BIOS 1.01, 16MB RAM amrd0: MegaRAID logical drive on amr0 amrd0: 19068MB (39051264 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal) amrd1: MegaRAID logical drive on amr0 amrd1: 114428MB (234348544 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal) Mounting root from ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a For performance, naturally each disk is an IDE master on its own IDE cable. I'd like to get another disk or two and use them as hot spares so if one of the existing drives goes bad the amr controller can just rebuild the data on the spare. Can such a spare run as the IDE channel slave without impacting performance of the master? My thinking is that the controller should send no data to the slave unless the master dies so it shouldn't slow the master (and hence the RAID volume) but I don't know enough about how this hardware works.

How can I force xntp to listen only at a specific ip address? Errr... To the best of my knowledge, you can't. There's no documented capability in the ntp.conf file to tell ntpd to bind to a particular interface, and as far as I can tell from reading the source, there's just no way to do that. However, think about it. You couldn't run several copies of ntpd simultaneously on one physical machine --- makes no sense, even if the ntpd's are running in separate jails. The machine's clock can only be set to one time. As ntpd is going to be the only serious contender to use UDP port 123, it really doesn't matter if the ntpd on the host system blocks port 123 on the jails. If you're worried about security, use the built in mechanisms provided by ntpd --- the best strategy is to use the 'restrict' mechanism to set a default policy to ignore everything, and then open up the minimum amount of access required to make the service work. Eg. restrict default ignore # Everyone can go away ... restrict 127.0.0.1 # except me ... restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 # or the local net. server 123.45.67.89 # A remote NTP server restrict 123.45.67.89 nomodify # Can send us a timestamp, # but can't modify our # configuration. If you are using your machine to provide NTP service to a network of clients or peering several machines together for resilience, create an ntp.keys(5) file and copy it to each of your machines --- the M type key format is probably the best, but you may need to use the A type to support older servers. Prefer the clients and local servers to use the key-based auth mechanism to operate --- if you want to broadcast or multicast a time signal to a whole network, this will be required. Use IPFW or IPF to restrict access to the local port 123. A useful feature of NTP is that it uses port 123 at *both* ends of the connection, although if your client is behind a NAT gateway it may appear to use a random high numbered port on the client end.

APC 350AV
Mark, I saw your post on freebsd-questions, and I should point out that you can get the RJ45 - DB9 adapter for free from APC. It took about two months for some reason, but you might be able to speed that along if you give them a call. You should have gotten a card with the unit, which entitles you to a free cable (I did).

Re: clarification of man dump
Hi, I have some trouble understanding the last part of 'man dump', from An efficient method of My understanding is that the example means: 1. Take a level 0 dump once a month 2. Take a level 1 dump once a week 3. Take a level 3 dump on mondays, a level 2 on tuesdays, a level 5 on wednesdays and so on until a level 9 on sundays. Am I missing something? What's so efficient from doing it this way (why)? It really depends on your needs. Basically, a leval 0 dumps everything. A level '1' dumps everything that has changed since a level '0' dump A level '2' dumps everything that has changed since a level '1' or '0' dump. A level '3' dumps everything that has changed since a level '2' or lower dump, etc. This is modified by nodump flags and maybe some other things, but that is the general pattern. So, if you do a level '0' once per month then you start fresh, so to speak, every month. Then if you do a level '1' each week you can get everything restored from just one monthly and one weekly dump, except anything that has changed since the last weekly dump, etc. Then for the rest of the days you have to juggle the remain dump levels. It used to be systems only recognized up to level '5' so that added to the complexity. The complicated pattern they give which will tend to reduce the total number of tapes you have to write for your dumps or read back in case of a restore. That was all thought up when tapes didn't hold very much and neither did disks. First of all, people had to keep as little as possible online and so they were always moving things off and on disk from some other storage. So, the online data pool changed a lot every day. Because tapes were small, dumps could take a lot of them.Because a lot changed often - not only new data, but stuff that had been pushed off and on. Not only full dumps, but change dumps (levels 1 thru whatever) would take a lot of tapes. It was not uncommon for a full dump to take say 40 to 100 tapes and a change dump to take 20 or 60 tapes and that would be on a fairly ordinary system. Really big ones were awful. When there was a failure one had to go back to the last full dump and then through whatever series of change dumps were needed to get the full latest stuff restored.So, if a dump set repeatedly dumped certain files (doing a level '0' monthly and then '1' daily for example) you could end up using a lot more tapes than necessary. But, if you did a higher level each day, you quickly run out of levels and may also have a lot of tapes with only a little bit on them. So, they tried to come up with a pattern of tape use that was most efficient. But, now days, people have giant disks and leave most things online all the time. The vast majority of it doesn't change. Plus tapes are relatively huge too, so a full dump may take as little as one tape on a smaller system and maybe only ten or twenty on a bigger system (ignoring the problem of those huge huge databases for now). Change dumps (level '1' or higher) generally take only one or maybe two tapes except for some either very big or very busy systems. So, the needs have changed and what efficiency means has also changed. Our main systems do a full dump once per week and use just one single higher level (eg level '1') each day in between, ignoring level '2', '3', etc. That means a lot of files that have changed only once get redumped each day, but the change dump all fits on one or two tapes, so who cares. It is less complicated and easier than managing all those interacting levels. Actually, for some of my machines that are just used lightly - not so much change going on, I just do a weekly level 0 dump and don't even bother with the daily change dumps. By now you probably have all this figured out anyway, but that is some general perspective. Probably others know the arithmetic of how they decided the pattern better than me, but,... jerry tks -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

It took about two months for some reason, but you might be able to speed that along if you give them a call. You should have gotten a card with the unit, which entitles you to a free cable (I did).

I explained to them that the USB cable that came with it does me no good on FreeBSD, and they said they would send me a free cable, no problem. :) Their help-desk is located in Ireland; so that might have accounted for the delay in shipping, in your case; but since I am in the Netherlands, I hope it will be a matter of days. All-in-all, I was pretty impressed with their cooperation. Though I think it were better if they just shipped their units off with serial cables to begin with. But in a Windoze world, USB is to be expected. The UPS does not really need to be smart, as far as I am concerned. All I want is for apcupsd to invoke a regular shutdown in case of a power-outage that takes longer than, say, a minute (my idea is: if the power is not back on after one minute, it will likely not be on within the next ten minutes, either). P.S. I believe the apcupsd manual calls the 350AV a SubSmart device; which would be what you say: it can do basic signaling, and a bit extra.

I got a ton more similar messages in the logs that day. The hard drive died that night. The sad thing is, the drive had been giving the last two lines as warning messages every now and then for a very long time and I had ignored them. I did try new cables. The master drive which was on the same cable didn't have any problems. BTW, the dead drive is an IBM Deskstar 75GXP (DTLA-307060). I miss it. I wish there was some way to recover it. 30GB of data gone. Maybe I'll try putting it in the freezer and drop it into a different machine and see if I can mount it... Here's the freaky part about the whole ordeal. I was trying to access something on that drive on the 2nd when I noticed it was acting weird (i.e. hanging when I tried to do a directory listing). That's when I noticed the system was actually locking up and spitting out the resetting devices messages. I decided to cut my losses and later that night I removed the faulty drive from /etc/fstab and tried to unmount it. I waited a bit and tried to mount it again. That ended up with a hung mount process. I eventually got fed up with not being able to kill that PID and rebooted the machine remotely. Big mistake. My system was down until I got in the next morning and looked at the console. The system booted up, went through the BIOS drive detection, looked for bootable media in the CD-ROM drive...and then just sat there at the point where it SHOULD have tried to boot freeBSD. I can only speculate that the system was having a moment (or twenty) of silence for the lost hard drive. Really, I have no logical explanation and would love to hear what might have happened. It took actually removing the steaming carcass of the dead hard drive from the case before the system would boot again. Now that is weird. The end result of all this is that that particular error MAY be an indication that the hard drive is, in fact, a flaky piece of junk that will fail soon. To be fair, I have had this hard drive for a year or two, so it's not like I bought it a couple weeks ago and it's already failing. Backups. Do backups. Backup solutions, no matter how expensive they may seem, are still cheaper than data recovery companies. :( -Tenebrae. --- The sending of any unsolicited email advertising messages to this domain may result in the imposition of civil liability against you in accordance with Cal.

a little more research shows no OFFICIAL FreeBSD support, as expected. Assuming you are in an academic environment up there, there must be someone that knows.

can't open /dev/ad7s1e: Device not configured
I am not a FreeBSD expert by any means, but I amd getting this unfortunate error with a Maxtor 160g ATA/133 drive I have hooked up to a Promise Ultra 133 controller. The system was fine and ran on FreeBSD 4.6.2 RELEASE, and I tried moving the controller and drive over to another box after installing 4.7 RELEASE on it. I did nothing to the drive through software. I could not see the drive on the 4.7 system. I moved it back to the 4.6.2 box and this is the error I'm getting and I'm dumped into the single-user shell. Can anyone help me recover? This is a full drive with some very precious contents.

Perl SIGSEGV
I'm not into perl internals, but perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction... I'm getting a SIGSEGV in the perl that comes with stock 4.6, three times in the past 10 days. Looking at the stack trace, it looks like Perl_safefree is not safe enough. It looks like I could hack perl so that the mutex macro around free() and other places could block signals. I'm curious what perl gurus have to say about this. Perhaps this hole is fixed in the latest ports version? The program that cored perl is a manager for persistent daemons, so stability is much more important than execution speed. Architecturally, it's something that started simple but has grown. At the moment, the main loop is a call to pause(), with various signals driving its actions. At some point, this might become a select() to handle additional requests. Had I known what I do today, I might have coded it in C, but it's not worth the pain yet...

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update 3 September 1999 This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters specifically for people
The Complete FreeBSD, second edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, second edition Last revision: 21 June 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the second edition, formatted on 16 December 1997. If you have this book, please check this list. If you have the first edition of 19 July 1996, please check ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-1. This same file is also available via the web link http://www.lemis.com/. This list is available in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ps. See page 222 of the book to find out how to print out PostScript. If at all possible, please take this document: it's closest to the original text. Be careful selecting this file with a web browser: it is often impossible to reload the document, and you may see a previously cached version. o An enhanced ASCII version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.txt. When viewed with more or less, this version will show some highlighting and underlining. It's not suitable for direct viewing. o An ASCII-only version at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2.ascii. This version is posted every week to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Only take this version if you have real problems with PostScript: I can't be sure that the lack of different fonts won't confuse the meaning. o A web version at http://www.lemis.com/errata-2.html. All these modifications have been applied to the ongoing source text of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] General changes ___ o In a number of places, I suggest the use of the following command to find process information: $ ps aux | grep foo Unfortunately, ps is sensitive to the column width of the terminal emulator upon which it is working. This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output. You can fix that with the w option: $ ps waux | grep foo Thanks to Sue Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this information Location of the sample files On the 2.2.5 CD-ROM only, the location of the sample files does not match the specifications in the book (/book on the first CD-ROM).

You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version.

That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

FreeBSD Installation on HP Pavilion ZT1130
Hi, I'm trying to install the FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE on my HP Pavilion ZT1130 notebook, but there is some problems. Note: my notebook doesn't have floppy drive. When a try to boot from my CD drive (actually a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2102 drive), I got the following message: BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS 639kB/244672kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Version 0.8 ... Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0x0 not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: ... Can't load 'kernel' Can't load 'kernel.old' I search for any information through search engines on the Internet, but I can't find anything. Below, there is some information about my machine.

Re: Does FreeBSD work on Walmart's $199 Microtel box?
A quick web search didn't bring up any answer to this. Does anyone here have the definitive word? The most recent machinine I saw was running what seemed a fairly stock Debian. So I'd expect you'd have little trouble up to console use; X may be compounded by the use of some highly integrated chipset.

NFS - what troubles to expect ?
Helol, I have used NFS on sun/solaris systems for many years, and the one big headache that comes to mind is how, if the server is down, and the client has an automount on boot, the client will hang forever (basically forever) trying to mount from the down NFS server. Does this behavior exist in the FreeBSD world ? What other related behavior can I expect if I have about 10 servers that are all _clients_ for an 11th NFS server, and that NFS server goes down ? Will the performance on the clients go down when the NFS server disappears ? Will they too, like solaris systems, hang forever on boot when the nfs server they automount is not present ? thanks!
