update /dev files with slices
Hi, I created a dvd with two slices a and b. (Don't ask for the reason - it is a test for my backup system) This slices are ufs formated and gbde encrypted. However - if I insert the DVD the device nodes acd0a and acd0b are not created automaticly. But if the DVD is inserted *before* boot this two nodes are there and stay even if I insert a normal DVD without slices. An other way to update the device nodes is to detach an attach the ata channel with atacontrol while the sliced DVD is beeing inserted. But this is not very smart. (In particular if there is i.e. a second device at this channel) A similar way it to reload the atapicam modul. In this case the cd0* device nodes are updated. The problems are the same as with atacontroll de-/attach. So I'am searching for a better way to tell the kernel/devfs to update the device node list of the atapi devices.

As powerd can be adjusted in which interval it adjusts the CPU frequency, short tasks run actually at the minimum frequency if the CPU was idle.

NB: I'm going to use 7.0 in production, but for the FS it's more complexe, if I lost some connexion because the 7.0 freeze is very different if I lost all data. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Téléphone : 01 45 07 76 26 Heure local/Local time: Lun 21 jan 2008 17:12:24 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Regards, Kimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: make installworld failed
Do you have any partitions mounted with noexec?
I just got a very similar problem and it was due to me having /tmp mounted
with noexec.

Any idea why is not working?, the card chip says 8139d, my kernel is
release generic.
Is it the none0?
thanks for reply me :-)
Yes, it looks very much like the none0 entry is your NIC.
That particular chip-id (0x81391904) is not one that is currently recognized
by the rl(4) driver, which is why the driver is not attaching to the card.
Most likely all that is needed to make work is to add that id to the list
of chips the rl(4) driver is supposed to attach to, but this requires
modifying the kernel source code and rebuilding the kernel.
Most likely the following quick, dirty, and ugly patch would suffice to make
it work, but since I do not have such a card I cannot test that it works:

I do not want to wipe out MS system (at least not yet) but would like to give FreeBSD or PCBSD a try. 1. Am I safe by installing FreeBSD alongside Vista? Will the installation not destroy MS system? Just make sure you have free space and go. You probably want to use the FreeBSD Bootmanager but I'm not 100% sure about that ( Only running a dualboot system with FreeBSD and WinXP for which the FreeBSD bootmanager is required ) This should be emphasized more: Make absolutely certain you already have free space on your drive before trying to install a FreeBSD or PC-BSD OS on the system to dual-boot with an already existing MS Windows OS. This can be accomplished in a number of ways -- you'll probably want to use a LiveCD with partition resizing software (like QtParted, for instance). Knoppix comes with this software. Before resizing partitions, though, make sure you defrag your MS Windows drive so the data on it will be packed toward the beginning of the drive rather than spread across the end of it. If you cut into data on the partition when resizing, you could lose the data. If the data's important to the OS, this could hose the OS. Once you have the free space, though, installing into that free space is a cake walk. 2. I have installed FreeBSD a few times but only with console access, never with X windows. Would it be better to install PCBSD on the Acer machine? I have never configured X windows and not sure how long it could take with FreeBSD (actually I mean things like Gnome or KDE). Depends on your needs. If you are planning on running an other WM/DE than KDE (Or at least I thought PCBSD came with KDE by default ) and you are familliar with the ports system you are better off choosing FreeBSD. Setting up X is a piece of cake nowadays. In most cases Xorg wil generate it's own configfile at start and you don't realy have to worry about it. If something doesn't work or you want to configure it somehow you can just run 'Xorg --configure' which wil generate a configfile you can edit by hand. On the other hand if you are completely new to FreeBSD, the portsystem etc than I guess you're better off installing PCBSD. Someone else in this discussion said something about it taking days to set up a complete GUI environment if installing from source. For me, it took less than an hour. Of course, I didn't install KDE, either -- it all depends on how much junk you have to install to consider it a complete GUI environment. PC-BSD is a very straightforward install, generally. So is DesktopBSD for that matter. Part of the reason for this is that you don't have to make any decisions at all. The downside is that you don't get to make any decisions at all. FreeBSD has a quick-install port for GUI/desktop environments. Once you've got the FreeBSD base system installed, just do this: cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation make install clean Among other things, it installs emacs, xmms, and KDE. I don't use it, though, because I'm not much of a fan of any of those three. If you like KDE, though, that could be a quick way to get from zero to a usable workstation for you. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Marvin Minsky: It's just incredible that a trillion-synapse computer could actually spend Saturday afternoon watching a football game. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

gmirror challenge
I have a server and am using gmirror to mirror two disks.

Not fully done. So without the metadata cleared on ad6s1, I can't boot from it and I can't boot from ad4s1 because I suspect that it is hosed... anybody have any suggestions on how to clear the metadata of ad6s1 so I can boot from it without it going into gmirror and being unhappy?

The documentation on all of this could use a little expansion for those
unable to locate/read the code. The BUGS section of powerd(8) states:
If powerd is used with power_profile, they may override each other.
without saying what might be done about that. /etc/rc.d/power_profile
is called by default (on ACPI laptops) in /etc/devd.conf like so:
# Switch power profiles when the AC line state changes.
notify 10 {
match system ACPI;
match subsystem ACAD;
action /etc/rc.d/power_profile $notify;
};
A browse of power_profile shows that using the below /etc/rc.conf
values will prevent it from messing with dev.cpu.0.freq when using
powerd (with notes from rc.conf on my Thinkpad T23 at 6.1-RELEASE):
# 27/9/6 powerd manages cpu freq nicely, but not (yet?) CX states
powerd_enable=YES # default flags seem ok for T23
# disable power_profile management of cpu freq (fights w/ powerd)
performance_cpu_freq=NONE # Online CPU frequency
economy_cpu_freq=NONE # Offline CPU frequency
# 24/9/6 power_profile still manages on/offline lowest CX state
# 13/10/6 LOW value C2|C3 depends on whether booted on or offline?
performance_cx_lowest=HIGH# Online CPU idle state
economy_cx_lowest=LOW # Offline CPU idle state
Andreas: Tijl's value of -p 200 (ie poll online status and idle
percentage every 200ms instead of default 500ms) should help with
concerns about how fast powerd ramps up frequency when load occurs.
Copying Wojciech as well, as he seemed to be possibly? unaware of the
difference using cx_lowest values (ie which method of halting the CPU)
other than C1 can make to power consumption, and thus CPU temperature.

Re: how to restore /usr/src
how can i reinstall the original /usr/src Oh that's really easy. Don't fret. I delete it all the time and get it back in the following way. In the handbook, there's a section about synchronizing your source: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html Use 'cvsup' or 'csup'; if your system is newer 'csup' will be part of the system. Find your 'standard-supfile' file (probably in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile), copy it to your home directory and modify it by changing the lines *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org (change 'CHANGE_THIS' to 'cvsup11.us' for example) *default release=cvs tag=CVS TAG (see below) and then run 'csup standard-supfile' or 'cvsup standard-supfile'. 'cvsup' is in /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui if you need to install it. CVS TAGs are explained in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How do port Makefiles work
I'm trying to figure out how a port makefile configures, makes, makes install from a source tarball. The port I'm interested in in particular is /usr/ports/x11/Terminal; I have it built and installed just fine using the ports system. Now I'm trying to tweak the source code, build, and install locally in a home directory, all without using the ports system. So, I've taken the archive Terminal-0.2.6.tar.bz2, unpacked it, and ran './configure --prefix=PREFIXDIR'. Then I run 'make', and I get this error: sylvester# make make all-recursive Making all in doc Making all in C Making all in images Making all in ja Making all in images Making all in helpers make: don't know how to make balsa.desktop. Stop *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/nlandys/Terminal-0.2.6. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/nlandys/Terminal-0.2.6. But like I said earlier, the ports system was able to build and install successfully. So the ports build system is probably passing some arguments to 'configure', and maybe some arguments to 'make', and maybe doing some other things and calling other targets. How can I figure out how the ports system is building this package so that I can mimic it to successfully configure and make this package manually? Or, if that is not an elegant thing to do, how can I correct this make problem? In the end, I just want to build this package manually.

As powerd can be adjusted in which interval it adjusts the CPU frequency, short tasks run actually at the minimum frequency if the CPU was idle. [...] Roughly speaking the CPU is halted, but the duration of this sleep state depends on the speed the CPU is working at. Since the CPU has to wake up regularly to see if there are things to be done it does so more often at 2000MHz than at 200MHz, for example. Of course the sleep time is longer at 200MHz, which makes a system to appear sluggish. But on the other hand power savings are at max.

The way I'd do it, is use portupgrade with the PP and r options to do the original install and then just copy over the downloaded packages to the target machines. It would save on compilation time. -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Need to re-generate the passwords in /etc/passwd
How do I use the above script for my machine which I access remotely by SSH. Yuck. I could email you a list of 1000 random strings? I could send it to you as Perl script, so you could generate 500 passwords in one run, or you call the web page enough number of times. That will be great! So I just run the script against /etc/passwd and presto, all the users in that file will be generated new passwords. I will need a way to pass the newly generated passwords to individuals users. No, the script only generates random strings, you would have to apply these strings to the accounts. The idea would be to make a file with a list of user name and new password, then use this file to feed to a script that force the new password. You have to keep that file in clear text, there is no way you can retreive the new opassword after you have applied it to a user account.

Re: packaging a metaport
Dave wrote: Hello, I'd like to compile and install xorg and gnome via metaports on a machine, making packages out of the entire process, including dependencies.
