Issue upgrading to 7.4, looking for guidance
I recently was having problems with Firefox crashing, which appear to be related to a requirement for semaphore support for Firefox after the upgrade to the new version of GTK. Anyway, this left me with a 7.4 kernel and a 7.2 world. Which I understand is supposed to work. However, this broke CUPS for printing, and I need to be able to print to pdf. This error is generated if I try to build cups, or when cups tries to load on startup: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ./mantohtml: invalid PT_PHDR >From looking around on-line, it looks like somewhere between 7.2 and 7.4 there was an incompatibility that causes this error in a number of places (printing, samba, etc.) So, it looks like I need to upgrade the rest of the way.

Very Important Note on HP LaserJet P1102 on FreeBSD
Hi dear FreeBSD people, After spending a lot of time on making my HP LaserJet P1102 work on FreeBSD, I found out what the problem is!!! Please tell this to anybody who has problems with HP P1102 on FreeBSD! The problem with this HP model is that it has a fake CD-ROM which contains the Windows drivers. The USB must actually be switched from the CD-ROM mode to the Printer mode in order to work. Otherwise, the printer will not work whatever you do. /dev/ulpt0 will not show up either. ---> The workaround is this: You must (unfortunately) connect the printer to a Windows system and run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder in the Driver CD-ROM (physical CD-ROM that comes with the printer not the fake one) and completely disable this "HP Smart Install" feature. After disabling this feature, everything will be fine on FreeBSD and life will be more beautiful. * Please pass this info on blogs, wikis, ... . I do not want other FreeBSD fans suffer this pain. Good luck ___ 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"

Yes. Predictably enough the command is 'zfs send ...' -- with a counterpart 'zfs receive ...' See zfs(1) for details. You have to send a snapshot, or the delta between a previous snapshot and a more recent one. However, it's not to difficult to turn that into effectively sending the state of a live filesystem so long as there aren't too many changes going on.

We may have to defer back to Oliver to see exactly how his disks are set up
("zpool status pool1" and "pool2" would be nice), but if he did two "zpool
add" commands, he has two independant vdevs in one zpool, and he can mirror
each of them with a "zpool attach" command. ZFS doesn't have a "stripe"
vdev type.

ZFS lets you add and detach mirrors on the fly, since you're not changing the capacity of the pool itself. Sure, you're going to lose the contents of the large 2TB drive, but that's sort of assumed. You can't convert 4TB of non-mirrored disks into 2TB of mirrored disks without losing 2TB of space. Just make sure you have less than 2TB total used data on all volumes, and copy the data off the 2TB filessytem onto the striped 1+1TB one before repartitioning and adding the mirrors. zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device Attaches new_device to an existing zpool device. The existing device cannot be part of a raidz configuration. If _device_ is not currently part of a mirrored configuration, _device_ automatically transforms into a two-way mirror of _device_ and _new_device_. If _device_ is part of a two-way mirror, attaching _new_device_ creates a three-way mirror, and so on. In either case, _new_device_ begins to resilver immediately. (Do not confuse with zpool add, which adds a whole new vdev to the pool. vdevs cannot be removed once added) -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ 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"

ulpt0 Not Recognized! (HP LaserJet P1102)
Hello, Your guide was very advantageous (thanks a lot) and also I downloaded some of your other guides. So far I understood that the data port for a USB printer becomes /dev/ulpt0 instead of /dev/lpt0 which is for a PARALLEL printer. But, when I turn on my HP printer there is no /dev/ulpt0 while the printer is recognized on the USB bus (checked with usbconfig). Then, the problem is: What should I do so that lpt0 appears in /dev or a HP printer. (I don't really like fancy features of CUPS and HPLIP) I simply need printing!

I just checked the output of my usbconfig, and it also shows no ulpt, though I do have it. And I also checked the GENERIC config file, and it does include ulpt, at least for 8.2-PRERELEASE amd64.

It's not only a matter of including different headers; there are some other differences that may require patches, and we won't be able to go through this step-by-step on the list. You can see what FreeBSD headers a similar FreeBSD application needs by looking at src/usr.sbin/arp, and you can get some help with the Linux->FreeBSD part by looking at /sys/compat/linux, http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/projects/ofed/head/sys/ofed/include/ and http://fxr.watson.org/ ; and you might be able to cheat a bit by using a compatibility layer like devel/gnulib, but you're going to have to go through this carefully on your own. b. ___ 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"

I did some more tests and have now a clear picture: 1) in Win7 you can control (System-control-->Sound-->Input) the input devices (build-in micro ./. headset micro), you can test them there and you can define which one is the default; if you set 'headset micro' as default and pull it out, the default switches to build-in micro and back again if you plug it in again; 2) if you start the VM while a) headset micro is pluged-in and b) set as default, the recording in Skype works from headset micro; YES, it works! 3) if you pull out the headset micro, the recording (also in the VM with Skype) falls back to build-in micro; but you can't switch back by pluging it in again, is stays with build-in micro; even a FreeBSD guest system reboot does not change it back; only a restart of VMWare bring the headset micro again as default; It looks like a bug in VMWare or Win7, I think, and nothing we could address here in FreeBSD world, or?

Installing gnome2 problems...
List, I tried to install gnome2 today, but failed. I first tried using pkg_add, but ran into a conflict where 'tdb-1.2.0 conflicts with samba3.0.37_1,1'. I *need* samba3 as I use it for other network services. So, I tried to build gnome2 from ports after disabling MAPI. It *almost* worked, but the build still failed. I ran gnomelogalyzer.sh as instructed, but it said the cause was unknown. Before I built anything, I updated my ports tree via 'portsnap fetch && portsnap update'. I'm on FreeBSD 8.1 RELEASE on amd64. Any suggestions?

It sounds a bit horrible to me and with the price of 2TB disks being ~ £65-70 here in the uk I wouldn't bother. Remember you will get a speed boost for reads on a mirror.

Check out the -l option of mount, and the corresponding keyword "late" in /etc/fstab. See "man mount" for details.

Monting nfs at boot
Hi I have some workstations where I mount working directories at boot. The directories that should be mounting are in /etc/fstab. All workstations are FreeBSD 8.1 and there are both i386 and amd64. On the i386 machines it works very well. But on the amd64 something happends. When booting amd64 it looks like it try to mount the nfs directories before the network is up. On the screen I can see that it try to mount and then there is a line telling that the network interface is up. There it locks up for some minutes before it continue and mounting. When the system is up it all works well but it's annoying to wait nearly five minutes for an workstation to came up. These amd64 machines are from different vendors and have different network devices. Maybe there are some easy configuration fix, but I can't find it.

FreeBSD 9/ZFS: Striped Pool (2 disks) migrating to mirror (onto additional disk)
I've got a problem. For performance reasons I use two 1TB harddrives as a single pool, and as far as I know, ZFS on recent FreeBSD 9/amd64 treats suchs pools 'striped'. Well, I can measure a performance gain in writing and reading. Well, for backup, I use an additional 2TB disk, ZFS, compressed, the backup is done manually via rsync (i'm looking for more suitable simple backup solutions). My question is: is it possible to migrate the two-disk pool without data loss into a mirrored pool by adding the one 2TB-disk?
