backspace-key and ^H when ssh -X remote.
guys, here's a bug with how the backspace key doesn't work across computers. i'm not sure if there were troubles going from FBSD to FBSD, but there is when i ssh from my ubuntu platform to my main desktop. i do this to edit files or for replying to mutt mail using vi. going from ethos [ubuntu] to tao [fbsd] and using vi, the backspace key is translated to \177 and is echoed as "^?". it does not erase. i have to type % stty erase ^V [backspacekey] to fix this problem. otherwise, to erase a character, i have to type a control-H. it is exact the same problem going from fbsd to ubunto. has anybody seen this before? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 4.91a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

OS personalities were a promise that was always brought up with microkernels, but never really delivered. Although, L4Linux could be seen as "Linux personality" for L4. The nice thing about microkernels is that they abstract enough of the underlying hardware to be open for a lot of experimenting. I think this is quite nice for student projects. On the microkernel vs. hypervisor topic: L4 has a very nice virtual memory abstraction and you can build device abstraction quite easily on top of it. If you only want paravirtualization, L4 could have delivered that years before Xen did. And actually it did: L4Linux exists for quite some time and I believe that there was also a paper on live migration of L4Linux instances way before Xen did that. IMHO given some commercial support (and some foresight), L4 could have been the better Xen.

How to recover disk space after "filesystem full"
Yes, it sounds like a stupid question, but let me tell the story. The log for my dhcp server filled up /var last night, which meant that dhcpd was also unable to hand out new leases, which meant that I had effectively been DOSed. I'll have to look into changing my logging policies. So, to correct the problem, I log into the router, removed the big log and several other files in /var to free up some space, and assumed this would correct the problem. It did not. Several minutes after freeing up a lot of space on /var, I continued to get "filesystem full" messages and "df" continued to show the capacity at >100%. I checked "df -i" for the inodes too. That was fine. I ran a quick fsck to see if that might shock the system into seeing all the space that I'd freed up, but no good. I ended up rebooting the box. Was there any other possible solution I could've tried?

RE: FreeBSD as USB joystick
As a drummer in my past life this sounds pretty sweet, but unfortunately I don't have the development / programming skills to help you out.

Do not copy kernel to kernel.old
Hi all, Many of my routers boot/run from a USB thumb stick. To upgrade these routers, I "dd" the device onto another one, pop the backup into a build machine, and do the normal build*/install* with a DESTDIR parameter. If the upgraded device does not boot (due to kernel problems), I just wipe it clean and start over. Having a kernel.old in this case is a waste of time and of space. Is there any parameter I can tell the build process to ensure that the kernel.old work does not get done? Steve smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Update: I killed mysqld, four nfsiods, Apache2, mpd, and maybe a couple more no-longer-needed processes two mornings ago. I also disabled them at that time in rc.conf. the next morning, the system restarted with a panic as usual, BUT... This morning, on the first boot that never ran all those processes, I have not seen a restart yet, and we're at 1 day 1 hour as I speak. I looked in /var/at earlier in the week and never found any scheduled jobs. It shouldn't be Cron, since it's sensitive to boot time, not clock time. Is there some way one of those processes, like mysqld, could be scheduling an event to occur 24 hours after launch, without using `at', and without having to be running 24 hours later? Example: Could mysqld schedule something without `at' that will run 24 hours after mysqld starts even if mysqld is no longer running? Also, is it even possible that any process could cause a kernel-mode page fault without there being damaged hardware? Example: Could some mysql file be so corrupt that it would panic a perfectly fine machine? I should hope not, but I wonder. -- Doug Lee d...@dlee.orghttp://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group doug@ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you." --African Proverb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: My FreeBSD-current/Xen install notes
VIMAGE and jails are OS-level virtualization, orthogonal to Xen. I want to run Xen so I can build and test Ogg Frog[1] on each of the target platforms I plan to support. I built a fancy Xeon box so that I could even build and test on all the platforms simultaneously. I also operate a couple Internet servers, which are themselves Xen DomUs at commercial Xen Virtual Private Server hosting services. I'd like to place each service that they operate into a jail, so that if someone manages to bust in because of a security hole in one of the server programs, they would only be able to get at the contents of that particular jail. But all of the jails are just subdivisions of a single operating system; I can't run other OSes within them. [1] http://www.oggfrog.com/free-music-software/ No, there is nothing to download yet.

Once you're able to get past sysinstall by trial and error, just use kbdcontrol(1) to change the keymap. Basically, all you have to do is to copy one of the keymaps from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps, and modify it according to your layout. Then use kbdcontrol(1) to activate it. Of course, this doesn't apply to Xorg: that's another can of worms.

I had hoped to install 7.2-RELEASE a few days ago, but will probably not get to it now until this weekend. In the meantime, I'm still running 6.3. In 6.x, if snd_emu10k1_load="YES" is present in /boot/loader.conf, the kernel fails during driver initialization. snd_emu10kx does not exist in 6.x.
