Deleting /usr dedicated slice.
Hello all, I just bought an 80 GB drive and would like move /usr partition to the new disk. I have a dedicated partition /da0s1f that is currently dedicated to it. /var partition resides in da0s1e. How do delete the slice that is occupying /usr and use that free space to extend /var? I read the man pages and growfs is the way but how do I exactly do it? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Mouse not working in 5.0
First off I apologize for all the emails, in the last one I included the wrong dmesg. I have a Sony VAIO GRX-570 running FBSD 5.0-RELEASE. Under 4.7 my mouse was PS/2(psm0, irq 12) and everything worked fine. Not in 5.0, I have no idea why it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. In examination of my dmesg it's obvious I should disable acpi but that can't be done, if I do so I get kernel panics on pci0, so that is not an option. Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

Samba has the option to hide dot files which would prevent the Apples from ever seeing the .appledouble (as I remember) files at all. Yeah But... The .AppleDouble directories were created by NetAtalk. They were not the creation of clients which had connected to the share. But you may be on to something as MacOS X does like to create a dot file/directory on shared resources, its just not called .AppleDouble. More like .sD2 IIRC. Well, I could be wrong about, .AppleDouble specifically, but the whole theory that dotfiles could be disappearing into a Samba black hole is what I was trying to put across. I also think you guys might be on to something. The only difference between the 2 shares is that the ServerFiles share has a 'veto' option in it to hide these files. Maybe my understanding of veto is wrong, I always thought that it hid the files not disallowed them to be created. I will try again monday by commenting out the veto directive and see if that is the problem. I will post my results to the list about what I find. Thanks a lot!

BSD on Tecra 8100 w/Docking Station
Greetings everyone!!
I'd very much like to install FreeBSD on the above laptop. However,
there is a problem in that it sits full time on a Toshiba Docking
Station...in which sits the NIC. Although ('natch) there are PCMCIA
slots, I've never bought a card, owing to the existence of the dock. I
concede that may have been a mistake in hindsight, but now I have to
(try and) work with what I've got.
W2K recognizes the docking station NIC with nary a murmur and always
has. BUT since buying this machine I have *never* got any Linux install
to recognize the dock network card. I'm determined to install *a* 'nix
on this machine, yet this seems to be *the* stumbling block no matter
what. I've tried FreeBSD on a friend's machine and believe I just may be
hooked! :-)
I went on an orgy of reading to see if anyone solved this. To date I've
read a whole lot of; try this, it might work (it didn't in every
case!) and despite many weeks of trolling around I'm as stumped as when
I began.
Can anyone offer a definitive answer to this - *the* most important
question of all?? I'd truly appreciate a solution to the
issue.somewhere, somehow.
Regards TIA,
-Colin

Re: BSD on Tecra 8100 w/Docking Station
I hate to be a party pooper but I think you'll find that if Linux
(which supports a larger range of hardware than FreeBSD) doesn't
support your card then FreeBSD probably won't. In any case consult the
freebsd hardware notes. Your best bet is just to buy a cheopo PCMCIA
NIC...

strange linux binary problem
Hi, i have a problem running a linux binary. I have an old (running for 2 years now) and a new freebsd server. I'm trying to run a linux gameserver (sof2) on the new machine, but when i start the binary (./sof2ded) nothing happens, no output, no log entries just nothing, it just hangs. If i try it on the old fbsd machine everthing works fine. Old machine is running: # uname -a FreeBSD host.domain.org 4.7-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p2 #13: Sat Dec 7 12:58:57 CET 2002 # pkg_info|grep linux linux_base-7.1_2The base set of packages needed in Linux mode # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 12 0xc010 1ccdd0 kernel 21 0xc12df000 14000linux.ko the new one: # uname -a FreeBSD host.domain.org 4.7-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p4 #0: Sun Feb 9 00:34:14 CET 2003 # pkg_info|grep linux linux_base-7.1_2The base set of packages needed in Linux mode # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 12 0xc010 1ccdd0 kernel 21 0xc12df000 14000linux.ko if have no clue why exactly the same binary is running on one system and on the other one not.

OT: razor-agent.log vanishing
Dear all, FreeBSD 4.6.2-p4+postfix 1.11+SA 2.44+Razor-agents 2.22 Nobody at razor-users or SA-Talk seems to know so I thought I give it a try here. I have a problem understanding how to configure the razor-agent.log. On two mail servers running FreeBSD 4.6.2 and OpenBSD 3.2 I experience same issue: razor-agent.log stops logging for some reason (probably me). Razor is called from Spamassassin. Everything else works fine, SA, Razor2 checks, postfix etc. are all without a problem but razor-agent.log is completely empty even if Razor does what it should. Permissions are checked ok Paths are checked ok I have read all the applicable man pages I ran razor-admin with applicable options razor-agent.conf seems ok with correct log settings There are no errors generated anywhere Razorhome is properly configured SA is 2.44, but have seen same behaviour with 2.41 and 2.43 Razor 2.22 from 2.20, same thing I have simply ran out of options here, could somebody offer a clue on where to start?

Wireless(if_wi): supported card attachment problems
Hi All!
I bought a card that, according to the man page of wi driver, should have been
supported.
The card is a Sohoware/NCP 130 and this is the output of 'man wi':
The following cards are among those supported by the wi driver:
Card Chip Bus
..
..
NANOSPEED ROOT-RZ2000Prism-II PCMCIA
-- NDC/Sohoware NCP130 Prism-II PCI --
NEC CMZ-RT-WPPrism-II PCMCIA
...
But the driver simply doesn't see it...
This is the output of pciconf :
none2@pci0:8:0: class=0x028000 card=0x013115e8 chip=0x013115e8 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'National Datacomm Corp.'
device = 'Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card'
class= network
I modified the driver sources and i added my card among those supported:
static struct {
unsigned int vendor,device;
int bus_type;
char *desc;
} pci_ids[] = {

and in this flavour
-- {0x15E8, 0x0131, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card}
Because I didnt know if the card was PLX based or not.
Now I get the following messages:
wi0: Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card port 0xdc00-0xdc3f,0xd800-0xd80f irq 11 at

Using the WI_BUS_PCI_PLX.
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 system with no other cards except for the NCP130.
Does anyone have some ideas?

LED Mouse Flashing
Greetings, I'm running FreeBSD V4.7.p4, with a Logitech LED Mouse. The mouse is being detected in the dmesg output as an Intellimouse Device 4. When this happens, it starts flashing (the mouse LED itself), the keyboard (ie. I can still type, but the letters come up slowly), and the mouse does not work (either trying to run moused, or starting X). As well, after this happens, when I restart the system, I have to unplug the mouse, or I get an error about my keyboard not being plugged in. I've tried putting flags 0x100 on the psm line in the kernel, and I've tried removing the flags 0x1 from the keyboard device, both with no change. At one point, before I made the changes, the mouse was detected as a type Generic Device 0. When this happened, the system worked perfectly. Now, my question: Is there a way to specify to the kernel that I want it to use the generic driver for the mouse, and not the Intellimouse? As well, where (if any place) can I specify the device type to be 0, and not 4? Regards, Justin P.

Re: Deleting /usr dedicated slice.
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Hello all, How do delete the slice that is occupying /usr and use that free space to extend /var? I read the man pages and growfs is the way but how do I exactly do it? Did you really put your partitions on separate slices? If so, you've made more work for yourself. Growfs just grows the file system in a partition to use extra space. You've got to add the space to the partition yourself. So this can only work if the spare partition immediately follows the partition that is going to grow. Normally, what you would have to do to do that is use the disklabel -e to remove the spare partition and change the size of the old partition to include the new one. If you've put your partitions on separate slices, you have to use fdisk to remove the spare slice and add the space to the slice that is going to grow before you use disklabel on the partitions. After you've done that step, or those two steps, you can use growfs on the partition to make it use the extra space. Be sure and back up /var before trying this. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If the client creates the dot files and then can't read them, then what is the point? Previously NetAtalk created the dot files itself, so it made sense to hide them from the clients. But in the case of MacOS X Jaguar, the client is creating dot files because it needs them for something. On AppleShare I suspect Jaguar creates the dot files only to track window sizes and icon placements. In the case of SMB shares where one does not have Data and Resource forks, I would expect the dot files created by the X client would be used to provide this functionality. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] = The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Wireless(if_wi): supported card attachment problems
Hi All!
I bought a card that, according to the man page of wi driver, should have been
supported.
The card is a Sohoware/NCP 130 and this is the output of 'man wi':
The following cards are among those supported by the wi driver:
Card Chip Bus
..
..
NANOSPEED ROOT-RZ2000Prism-II PCMCIA
-- NDC/Sohoware NCP130 Prism-II PCI --

...
But the driver simply doesn't see it...
This is the output of pciconf :

vendor = 'National Datacomm Corp.'
device = 'Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card'
class= network
I modified the driver sources and i added my card among those supported:

and in this flavour
-- {0x15E8, 0x0131, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card}
Because I didnt know if the card was PLX based or not.
Now I get the following messages:

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Daniela [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed:

do I automatically include debug symbols when I'm building ports?
You can get everything to build with debug symbols by adding
CFLAGS=-g to /etc/make.conf. However, the system will strip the
binaries when it installs them. You could probably get the
non-stripped version installed if you really wanted to, but I'd
recommend not doing that, and just using the version in /usr/obj,
which shouldn't be stripped, for debugging.
Ports will also build with debugging symbols, but most of them will
probably be stripped on install as well. You can fix them by editing
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, and removing the ${STRIP} from
INSTALL_PROGRAM. You also need to change STRIP_CMD to be something
harmless.
I experience so many segmentation faults, and it would be helpful to have
debug symbols everywhere.
Segmentation faults are pretty rare on all my systems, unless it's
code that is under active development. Are you sure it's not flaky
hardware? Note that not having problems under another OS is *not* a
sign that the hardware isn't flaky.

Will this be fast enough for typical Internet access at 384Kbps if the box isn't doing anything else, or do I need a faster machine? --Paul Hoffman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

5.0 on Compaq Evo 610c notebook - no way?
Hi, I'm having serious trouble with setting up FreeBSD 5.0-Release on a Compaq Evo 610c-notebook. First of all, here's my configuration: Compaq Evo 610c notebook - ROM family 68P4F System-Bios: 1/17/2003 (latest available) RAM: 1GB HD: 40GB DVD/CD-RW Display: 1400x1050 NIC: Intel Pro/100 builtin Modem: Lucent internal modem, Synaptics touchpad and pointstick Graphics: ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 AGP(LW) 32MB Bios 6.0.0 VR006.004.006.008-001.001.001 350MHz DAC Now for the problem: I run FreeBSD-setup from a CD obtained from the ISO-image (5.0-RELEASE). Upon booting the system runs into a loop like the following: First of all the acpi.ko ist loaded Then after some messages I see acpi_cpu: CPU throttling enabled, 8 steps from 100% to 12.5% acpi_tz0: WARNING - current temperature (1331362.0C) exceeds system limits followed by ACPI-1287 *** Error: Method execution failed, AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE with the latter one repeated dozen of times The system seems to run into a loop with the messages acpi_tz0... and ACPI-1287... repeated forever. The only way to cure the problem is to completely turn off power! I don't even come to the point where the system starts up in order to install something... :-( So here are my questions: 1) Has anybody else seen this before? 2) What can I do against it? (I *really* want to have FreeBSD running on that box - going back to Windoze is no option for me) 3) To me it looks like ACPI doesn't work - any ways to turn it of in the FreeBSD-installation? (no way to turn it of in the system BIOS - I've already checked this) TIA for your help, -ewald To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: speeding up NFS

With Linux clients+server, the transfers are exactly twice faster than with freeBSD, so I am sure I must have screwed the configuration somewhere.

I seem to remember this being discussed in great depth a few years ago. You may be able to increase the -r and -w sizes to improve things. My understanding is: you should use UDP mounts if the servers are close together (i.e., one hub/switch between them, low latency) but use TCP mounts if they are far apart (i.e. many hops, high latency, lots of dropped packets). I don't know if specifying both -u and -t hurts anything.

Monitoring the entire filesystem?
Is there an existing way to monitor the entire filesystem for changes to any file, particularly changes in extended attributes? I've read over the documentation for kqueue, but some things were left unclear. For example, it appears the man page has not been updated for 5.0 and thus doesn't specify whether or how extended attributes can be monitored for modifications. Also, it appears that kqueue needs a file descriptor for each file that one would want to monitor, making any large-scale file monitoring impractical. Is there any other way in FreeBSD to be notified of file modifications in a way that would allow one to monitor the whole file system or large portions of it? I don't really need to know whether a particular attribute changed, but rather just whether any of them changed. --Kevin Fogleman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Why shouldn't I do this? Is it just because debug binaries are bigger or run slower? If so, that's not a problem for me, I have a fast processor and a lot of memory.

Re: Deleting /usr dedicated slice.
On 2003-02-09 16:32, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim wrote: I just bought an 80 GB drive and would like move /usr partition to the new disk. I have a dedicated partition /da0s1f that is currently dedicated to it. /var partition resides in da0s1e. How do delete the slice that is occupying /usr and use that free space to extend /var? I read the man pages and growfs is the way but how do I exactly do it? Since 80 GB of disk space is a lot, you could also use the second disk as a temp area, while joining /var and /usr of the first disk into a new /var. This could easily be done with: 1) Boot in single user mode. 2) Create newfs a huge /usr on your second disk, that can accomodate both your current /var and /usr partitions (i.e., da1s1a). 3) Mount your new /usr partition under /mnt from da1s1a. 4) Use dump restore to move things from your current /usr into /mnt. I't probably a good idea to copy /var into /mnt/var instead of deeper. 5) Move away (do not delete, yet) your exiting /var, and create a symlink /var - /usr/var. 6) Update your /etc/fstab to make sure the old /var and /usr partitions are not used. 7) Boot your system and check for any problems. If all seems fine, you can remove the old /var and /usr partitions from da0, your first disk. Then, create a single partition that will eventually hold your /var partition which spans the space previously occupied by the original /var and /usr partitions, and move to the second part of the process: 1) Boot single user again. 2) Mount da1s1e which now has the space of your old /var and /usr under /mnt. 3) Use dump restore to move stuff from /usr/var to /mnt. 4) Remove the symlink of /var - /usr/var and create a directory /var (owned by root:wheel with permissions 0755). 5) Unmount /mnt and remount it at /var. 6) Exit single user mode. If all works fine, you can delete /usr/var. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: #!/bin/sh execve
On 2003-02-08 21:58, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: this does seem to be an ambiguous area. it seems more sane to allow arguments to a script given to an interpreter on the shebang line, passing everything after #!/interpreter [arg] off for eval or sh -c type parsing. This is something that can be bth good and bad though. As you have pointed out, if a limited sort of parsing is allowed, then it would most likely have to be sh(1)-like. This means that the mechanism that inteprets '#!' would have to know all the intricacies of the sh(1) parser to work correctly in all cases. Incomplete sh(1)-like parsers that would understand most of the sh(1) shell syntax would be exactly that... incomplete. Another bad thing about this is that you would then need a lot more memory to handle things like: #!/bin/sh -c \ 'my-magic-script.sh arg1 arg2 \ arg3 ...' \ `backquoted command` I'm not objecting to something like this. If you happen to roll patches for the kernel that can make it work, I'll probably try them too. But are the benefits of writing something like this worth the time required to write and test it? i don't know how it breaks anything to load execve's argv[] with everything after the shebang, followed by command line options/args. but it sure muddies the water if you don't. There is one portable way. It's easy to remember too: #!/bin/sh No spaces, no args. It works so far on all the systems I've tried. #!/bin/sh -xthis is obviously ok. #!/bin/sh set -x [...] #!/bin/sh -vx this is obviously ok too. Similarly. #!/bin/sh -cstringthis is currently not ok, but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec string exit 1 #!/bin/sh -c string this is currently not ok, but why shouldn't it be? Similarly. #!/bin/sh scriptthis is obviously ok. #!/bin/sh . script #!/bin/sh -n script this is currently not ok, but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh -n script #!/bin/sh script 1 2this is ok with FBSD and RH Linux, but not ok in a few implementations, but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh script 1 2 it seems that only a minority of execve() man pages / implementations are preventing the sane solution ... The only objection I have in making execve() behave as if the whole she-bang thing was a valid sh(1) command, is that I don't want sh(1) being imported into the kernel tree, period. Of course, what I want is irrelevant if someone comes up with a solution to the problem of having an sh(1)-like parser without having sh(1) in the kernel :-) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Are those people talking about the same Wireless PCI card ? (there are similar references in older mails) Finally there seems to be a driver for this card under red Hat, (http://www.saragossa.net/LinuxG3/ls-wlan.shtml), but they warn of some bios prerequite: Be advised, the WMP11 PCI requires a version 2.2 PCI bus on your motherboard Could it be the cause and how can I check that ? -- Jérémy Barbay (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~jeremy) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Also, it appears that kqueue needs a file descriptor for each file that one would want to monitor, making any large-scale file monitoring impractical.

5.0-release install problem
Howdy all, I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop that I had installed 4.7-release on awhile ago using just the kernel and mfsroot floppies and then getting everything else via ftp. Well, I decided to start all over on this system, only with 5.0-release. I actually made the mini-inst cd, but I booted from the floppies because my cd drive won't boot CDR discs. I noticed that it didn't seem to give me the option to configure the kernel like it did on 4.7, so I just went ahead with a standard install. However, it gave the following errors trying to mount the cd. Error mounting /dev/ac0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19) I'm pretty sure the drive is operational and I know the cd is good because I can mount it on another machine (which I did to make the floppies). Anyway, so then I decided to install via ftp (as I had just done with the 4.7 floppies a few months ago). However, when I booted with the 4.7 floppies, it asked me if I wanted to configure the pc cards (I set usable memory and such). This didn't happen with 5.0, but I could watch on the boot of the floppies and see dmesg output for pccard0 and see the LEDs go solid for my linksys 10/100 card. But, when I go to select the FTP site, I only see sl0 and ppp0 devices. Nothing for my ethernet card. I'm sure I've done something foolish, so any advice is appreciated.

Hi Alex, it would be nice if you'd include some more details about your machine and your configuration, eg. how much ram do you have, the output of mount, the size(s) of your currently used swap areas, etc. Usually it's a good thing start reading the man page of swapon(8). AFAIK it's simply possible creating a file using dd(1) which is sized to the wanted swap space to add, load it to a device using mdconfig(8) and activate it using swapon md?. You may automate it on reboots modifying your /etc/rc.local So long, Jens -- L i W W W i Jens Rehsack LW W W L i W W W W i nnnLiWing IT-Services L iW W W Wi n n g g i W W i n n g gFriesenstraße 2 06112 Halle g g g Tel.: +49 - 3 45 - 5 17 05 91ggg e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +49 - 3 45 - 5 17 05 92http://www.liwing.de/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Many many bonnie++ runs and careful charting of the results :-) Client side (Linux 2.4): Mount with mountvers=3,hard,intr,nolock,udp,wsize=8192,rsize=8192 Note that w/r sizes above 8k require a small kernel patch to Linux - and I found that it's typically a tad /slower/ than 8k in any case. Not worth it according to the benchmarking I did. In general, version 3 was much better performing than version 2 (where async vs. sync was more of an issue). On the server side, ensure that you have enough nfsd's to handle all requests by keeping an eye on the `ps` output. When one or more of the nfsd's have no CPU time, then you've just started to cross the line into too many (which is about right). Also, ensure that you're not disk I/O limited on the server side. I'm currently using a couple of vinum arrays where I'm reading at about 30MB/s and the random seeks are high (about 530/sec). This puts any blame for slowness on the network (and NFS), which simplified tuning. I'd welcome benchmarks to the contrary, I could always use more NFS performance ;-) -T -- Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again.

Wireless(if_wi): supported card attachment problems
Hi All!
I bought a card that, according to the man page of wi driver, should have been
supported.
The card is a Sohoware/NCP 130 and this is the output of 'man wi':
The following cards are among those supported by the wi driver:
Card Chip Bus
..
..
NANOSPEED ROOT-RZ2000Prism-II PCMCIA
-- NDC/Sohoware NCP130 Prism-II PCI --
NEC CMZ-RT-WPPrism-II PCMCIA
...
But the driver simply doesn't see it...
This is the output of pciconf :
none2@pci0:8:0: class=0x028000 card=0x013115e8 chip=0x013115e8 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'National Datacomm Corp.'
device = 'Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card'
class= network
I modified the driver sources and i added my card among those supported:
static struct {
unsigned int vendor,device;
int bus_type;
char *desc;
} pci_ids[] = {
/* Sorted by description */
{0x10b7, 0x7770, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, 3Com Airconnect},
{0x16ab, 0x1101, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, GLPRISM2 WaveLAN},
{0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Intersil Prism2.5},
{0x16ab, 0x1102, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Linksys WDT11},
{0x1385, 0x4100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Netgear MA301},
{0x1638, 0x1100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, PRISM2STA WaveLAN},
-- {0x15E8, 0x0131, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card}
and in this flavour
-- {0x15E8, 0x0131, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card}
Because I didnt know if the card was PLX based or not.
Now I get the following messages:
wi0: Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card port 0xdc00-0xdc3f,0xd800-0xd80f irq 11 at
device 8.0 on pci0
wi0: No Mem space on prism2.5?
device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 6
or
wi0: Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card port 0xdc00-0xdc3f,0xd800-0xd80f irq 11 at
device 8.0 on pci0
wi0: No I/O space?!
device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 6
Using the WI_BUS_PCI_PLX.
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 system with no other cards except for the NCP130.
Does anyone have some ideas?
Thanks!

Re: freebsd installer is braindead
what about the problem of it extracting into the mfsroot? switching nics fixes that? Yea, that was actually the main problem I was referring to. The look up problem can be eluded by aborting then restarting the installation. I did this in Expert Mode so I could go straight to media configuration once, thunking the Ether device to manifest the look up bug. Then, during stall, interrupted the look-up to restart the entire sysinstall instance. The second media initialization is clean. Switching from the 8139 fixed the mfsroot bug as well. I have no idea what the link between the 8139 and the mfsroot is. I'm putting money on an interrupt layer mishandling. None the less, switching NICs fixed it.

Linksys Wireless Card Burned?
Hello:
I tried to connect wirelessly to the internet on a laptop running FreeBSD with
disasterous results!
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on a Toshiba Portege 7010CT with X Window 4.2. I've used this
system with an Cisco Aironet 350 wireless card with the 'an' driver with no problems.
However, when I started to use a Linksys Instant Wireless (WPC11-CA ver.3), pccardd
could not configure the card; I get the following message:
pccardd{50}: driver allocation failed for The Linksys Group, Inc.(Instant Wireless
Network PC Card): Device not configured
Once I remove the card and then reinsert it, pccardd succeeds in allocating the 'wi'
driver and I could connect to the wireless network (this is slightly inconvenient, but
it's not the end of the story).
After a few minutes of browsing the net using Opera for FreeBSD, the whole system
freezes. when I remove the Linksys Wireless card it is very HOT! In fact, I think that
I already burned one this way?!! Now the card can not be configured no matter how many
times I reinsert it. I went back to the store and got a new card (same brand and
model). This time I managed to remove the card before it burned down.
Anyone, had a similar problem? Is it even possible to burn down the card by a wrong
software configuration? Please help.

Re: #!/bin/sh execve
it seems more sane to allow arguments to a script given to an interpreter on the shebang line, passing everything after #!/interpreter [arg] off for eval or sh -c type parsing. This is something that can be bth good and bad though. As you have pointed out, if a limited sort of parsing is allowed, then it would most likely have to be sh(1)-like. This means that the mechanism that inteprets '#!' would have to know all the intricacies of the sh(1) parser to work correctly in all cases. Incomplete sh(1)-like parsers that would understand most of the sh(1) shell syntax would be exactly that... incomplete. the method used by FBSD 2.2.7 seems the most sane to me, where execve's argv[] is loaded by each whitespace seperated element after the shebang, then by command line options. 1. it is flexible. 2. it functions intuitively. 3. i don't think it breaks less flexible methods. i thank you very much for explaining this to me. Another bad thing about this is that you would then need a lot more memory to handle things like: #!/bin/sh -c \ 'my-magic-script.sh arg1 arg2 \ arg3 ...' \ `backquoted command` I'm not objecting to something like this. If you happen to roll patches for the kernel that can make it work, I'll probably try them too. But are the benefits of writing something like this worth the time required to write and test it? i agree. my main problem, which doesn't exist with FBSD (thankfully), was, for example, scriptA --- #!/bin/sh ./scriptB 1 2 3 where scriptB runs (with options), then processes scriptA, then exec's scriptA with a modified command line. (it would've been a long chore to write scriptB in C code, and it would've been a kludge to run scriptB on the command line with scriptA as an argument - forcing one to always type 2 words to do one command). many OS's do not allow this since they load ./scriptB 1 2 3 into a single argv[] element, which, of course, the interpreter cannot run. which seemed very stupid to me. i saw problems and limitations, and no benefit to that solution. There is one portable way. It's easy to remember too: #!/bin/sh No spaces, no args. It works so far on all the systems I've tried. heh - yes - i agree. i was afraid someone would pick apart all this! i didn't really take the time to study the functionality of the sh(1) options. i only meant to show the unintuitive nature of the implimentations with regard to parsing. #!/bin/sh scriptthis is obviously ok. #!/bin/sh . script this won't work if script is going to do something before exec'ing the file itself. it will end up being infinitely recursive. and similarly for the following: #!/bin/sh -n script this is currently not ok but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh -n script #!/bin/sh script 1 2this is ok with FBSD and RH Linux, but not ok in a few implementations, but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh script 1 2 The only objection I have in making execve() behave as if the whole she-bang thing was a valid sh(1) command, is that I don't want sh(1) being imported into the kernel tree, period. Of course, what I want is irrelevant if someone comes up with a solution to the problem of having an sh(1)-like parser without having sh(1) in the kernel :-) yes - i agree. i think freebsd hackers are the best. and have the best design/implementation philosophies. i am always humbled in their presence. - Giorgos thank you. Freebsd seems to be the only intelligent OS. 2.2.7, imho, seems to be correct. it may not follow, but sometimes intelligence has to lead ... I would be interested in anyone could tell me how/why any of the other solutions are more intelligent/practical. It is my personal observation the solutions of most vendors is due to SysV's limiting definition of execve(2). But I did note that Posix/SUSv3 definitions remove such arbitrary limitations (the single [arg]). #!/tmp/interp -a -b -c #d e Solaris 8: args: /tmp/interp -a/tmp/x2 Tru64 4.0: args: interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 *FreeBSD 2.2.7: args: /tmp/interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 FreeBSD 4.0: args: /tmp/interp -a -b -c /tmp/x2 Linux 2.4.12: args: /tmp/interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 Linux 2.2.19: args: interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 Irix 6.5: args: /tmp/interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 HPUX 11.00:args: /tmp/x2 -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 AIX 4.3: args: interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 Mac OX X: args: interp -a -b -c #d e /tmp/x2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: #!/bin/sh execve
minor correction/addition to previous post: instead of infinitely recursive, i should've said that it would break things if script re-exec's the same file with a different interpreter. -- #!/bin/sh . script this won't work if script is going to do something before exec'ing the file itself. it will end up being infinitely recursive. and similarly for the following: #!/bin/sh -n script this is currently not ok but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh -n script #!/bin/sh script 1 2this is ok with FBSD and RH Linux, but not ok in a few implementations, but why shouldn't it be? #!/bin/sh exec /bin/sh script 1 2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
