hard disk performance issue
Hi, I have a Dell P3-500 Optiplex GX1. I was running FreeBSD 5.0 on an 8G drive. I recently upgraded to a Western Digital ATA100 40GB drive and loaded FreeBSD 5.1. I expected to get improved drive performance, however, my motherboard would only do UDMA-33. So, I picked up a Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Combo card. It's supposed to do ATA-100. My dmesg indicates that it is running UDMA-100, but my disk dump performance is still pathetic. Here's a dd sample: tigger# dd if=/dev/ad8s1d of=/home/chris/tmp.dat count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 2.292473 secs (2233396 bytes/sec) ~ 2MB per second?? It was about 1.8MB per second before I upgraded. The only thing I can attribute the marginal speed-up to is the faster drive rotation speed (7400 RPM). Attached is my dmesg dump. The ad8...UDMA 100 statement is near the bottom. Can anyone provide any insight? Thanks in advance. Chris tigger# dmesg | more Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: usb to ethernet converter
If that is the case, how is it that the protocol can work over direct connection to USB port and not over ethernet? This area needs a little clarification. All we are changing is the physical interface, but keeping the rest of the filters, which do the printer specific conversion to bitmaps (or whatever that format is) the same.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by protocol, but I think you're referring to the stream of printing codes sent from the computer to the printer. This area needs a little clarification. All we are changing is the physical interface, but keeping the rest of the filters, which do the printer specific conversion to bitmaps (or whatever that format is) the same. So the only change would be in the physical connection. Not even close. A computer needs a special driver to communicate with a USB printer connected to it. Since this is commonly part of the OS, you don't usually think of it, but it's there nonetheless. The computer needs a different driver to communicate with a network adapter. In reverse, your printer has drivers to decode the incoming signal from your computer. It has no idea of how to decode the incoming signal from a network adapter. As a simple example of that lack of functionality, how would you tell your printer to set an IP address on the network adapter attached to it? Short answer: you can't. Your printer has no concept of a network stack. -- Kirk Strauser ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Dumping/reading memory space of a running program.
On 08/25/03 02:36 AM, Sten Daniel S?rsdal sat at the `puter and typed: How do i read/dump the entire memory space of a running program? Is this possible? I really dont have the option of restarting it. If you have access to all the structures in the process, you could whip up a perl script that parses the output of nm(1) and parse the /proc/filesystem for the process to pick and choose the data points you want to see. I've seen (and done, to an extent) the same thing on Solaris, and for data structures that aren't too complex , it's not too tough. Depending on the system, 2 levels of member structures gets a bit deep to get through a big store. You'll need to really read up on the procfs(5), nm(1), and the seek, sysread, and unpack commands in perl to get it to work.

Re: Formatting a floppy - Help required.
Hello, Usually any type of floppy error can be associated with a 'bad' floppy. If you've ever taken a floppy apart you will quickly realize that the magnetic surface of the floppy has the feel and consistency of tissue paper. As well the majority of floppies are treated, myself included, as throwing stars or other dust to be introduced by how I treat it methods. If I were you I would try a new floppy and see if you can format then. You as well might look into the /etc/disktab file close to the top for other instructions on how to format a floppy. NOTE: I have gotten error messages using FreeBSD/Linux/Tru64 and no messages on a Win32 boxen on one floppy. Then trusting the Win32 I ended up losing data later when it finally reported that the floppy was no good. I hope this helps somewhat. R. PS I have heard that manufactuers only warranty their floppies for 3 months from time of manufacture. That and the relative slow transfer speed makes you wonder why we haven't moved to other more sexy methods of booting up.

Re: Evolution Message Summary View

I've encountered the inbox permission problem reported in other posts to freebsd-questions, but also I've noticed that there seems to be a date/time formatting problem in the message summary view that's not been mentioned in earlier posts. For that matter, I've seen nothing referencing this problem in the issue list at http://developer.ximian.org/projects/evolution. The symptom is that a message's date/time is shown as expected when the view is first displayed after Evolution startup. But if -any- other view is displayed (i.e. Summary), then on return to the message summary the date/times all are evidently displayed with a UTC time offset (0) instead of the correct one. Once this occurs, the date/time never returns to the current offset until Evolution is stopped and restarted. Has anyone else seen this as well, or know a workaround? Ah, that's the catalyst. There have been numerous reports of this problem, but I was never able to reproduce it. Switching views is the catalyst. I suspect this is not a FreeBSD bug, but now that I have a definite catalyst, I will take this to the Ximian people, and see what they have to say.

Re: usb to ethernet converter
Hmm... so exactly what are the wings you are talking about with respect to printing via a USB port that are absent when the communication is over ethernet? As I said in my message: This area needs a little clarification. So, if you are unable to explain these wings, (and you did not explain them at all), how can you assume they exist? I think your analogy is insuffient to explain the reason why the printer's protocol works over USB and not over an ethernet link to - ethernet-2-usb-converter - to usb printer. So, let us all benefit from your brilliant and exuisite mind (sic :) and explain to all of us how and why the upper level printer-specific print protocol depends on the physical communication layer, which has it's own protocol that has absolutely nothing to do specifically with printing? The USB bus can have many different devices connected to it, so it can not be dedicated to handling only the printer protocol. I repeat, I am seeking knowledgeable explanation of how and why it would work or not work. Thanks to any and all who care to explain this clearly.

So the only change would be in the physical connection. Exquisite reasoning. By the same token, an airplane shouldn't need wings, since it's just like a car except for the physical transport medium. I just need to know more details why it cannot work. Yes, that's clear. Seems you have some studying to do. Good luck!

firewire vs IDE DVD.
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I recently moved a firewire card and DVD drive that had been in my FreeBSD box to another computer. I replaced it with an IDE DVD drive. The probelm is that now I can't get mplayer or vlc to play any DVDs that had previously worked with the firewire drive. I have, of course, made sure that /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0 instead of /dev/cd0 (as it used to be). The only difference that I can think of is that FreeBSD sees the firewire drive as a scsi drive and sees the ide drive as an ide drive.

For example, switching from the inbox to the tasks view and back seems to not be a problem. Ditto for the contacts view. In my case, though, since I've only have a couple of hours flight time with Evolution, I've not yet defined any tasks or contacts so these views are empty, anyway.

I've encountered the inbox permission problem reported in other posts to freebsd-questions, but also I've noticed that there seems to be a date/time formatting problem in the message summary view that's not been mentioned in earlier posts. For that matter, I've seen nothing referencing this problem in the issue list at http://developer.ximian.org/projects/evolution. The symptom is that a message's date/time is shown as expected when the view is first displayed after Evolution startup. But if -any- other view is displayed (i.e. Summary), then on return to the message summary the date/times all are evidently displayed with a UTC time offset (0) instead of the correct one. Once this occurs, the date/time never returns to the current offset until Evolution is stopped and restarted. Has anyone else seen this as well, or know a workaround? Ah, that's the catalyst. There have been numerous reports of this problem, but I was never able to reproduce it. Switching views is the catalyst. I suspect this is not a FreeBSD bug, but now that I have a definite catalyst, I will take this to the Ximian people, and see what they have to say.

Re: About Sony i.Link
FreeBSD -CURRENT recognized the firewire DVD-ROM drive I had attached to it. If the install floppies support IEEE1394 (and I don't know if they do), the DVD-ROM drive will just show up as /dev/cd* (depending on the number of SCSI or firewire drives on the machine) Have you tried booting off the floppies and seeing if it recognizes the drive?

mgapdesk crash
I am curious if anybody has had any luck using the mgapdesk port. A friend of mine has a computer with a matrox g550 installed, after a fresh install of 4.8, newest X port and running X -configure, the mgapdesk program seems to just crash the X server every time it is run. It generates a core file, but I am not diving into X that deeply ;p All that program does if I recall, is just to help re-generate the X config with options to enable multi-monitors and such I was simply interested in seeing if I can get his tv output to work, if I can't, then I won't be able to convince him to stick with FreeBSD :( Thanks, -James ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could make it a FIFO and put a Perl script or something at the
other end, if you want dynamically-generated output. For example:
--snip--
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use constant FILE = /etc/motd;
use POSIX qw/setsid mkfifo/;
# Comment these if you want it to run in foreground:
exit 0 if fork;
setsid;
while (1) {
unless (-p FILE) {
unlink FILE;
mkfifo FILE, 0644;
}
my $fortune_msg;
open FORTUNE, /usr/bin/env fortune | or die Can't open pipe from fortune:
$!\n;
$fortune_msg .= $_ while FORTUNE;
close FORTUNE;
open FIFO, .FILE or die Can't open .FILE. for writing: $!\n;
print FIFO $fortune_msg;
close FIFO;
sleep 2;
}
--snip--
would generate a `fortune' message every time someone read motd. Run it like so:
# /path/to/fortunemotd.pl
Note that this script will *DELETE YOUR EXISTING MOTD*... back it up first.
If you want to use this for something else, for example a .signature, change
the `use constant FILE = the-file-goes-here-in-quotes' line.
If you have two (or more) of these things running, it can produce unexpected results.
Be careful.

php4-cgi -- internal server errror
Hi, sorry, I've already posted this into the German user list, but as I am still completely stuck I hope to find some more hints/help here. Systems: FreeBSD 4.7 (mod_php4 - a little changed) 4.8 (php4-cgi - the latest) Apache 1.3.27 and 28 We need to run php as cgi, because of the requirements of software we run (called umn-mapserver - if somebody knows). Half a year ago I basically followed the instructions I found on the umn-mapserver wiki-pages: I quote, that's shorter: (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI) quote PHP's default 'configure' behavior is to build a 'php' CGI executable. It's the --with-apxs and/or --with-apache PHP configure options that enable PHP to be built as an Apache DSO. ...to build PHP as a CGI ... don't provide the --with-apxs or --with-apache switch to the PHP configure. Then once you have a 'php' executable, copy it to your server's cgi-bin directory and add to your httpd.conf: AddType? application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType? application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType? application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php /quote As I could not find an ordinary php-port (not sure now, it's month ago), I removed one --with-apxs entry within the Makefile from www/mod_php4 (!) and php ran as cgi! Half a year later, I updated the ports-tree and I was happy to see a www/php4-cgi port and immediately checked this out on a test system. This time, I did not edit the php4-cgi makefile of course, as I expected to have php4 as cgi compiled. I again copied the php-binary, as said above to cgi-bin and surprisingly saw only 500 - internal server error and I found a Premeture end of script headers: /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php in httpd-error.log. One thing you have to know is, that our scripts are in /usr/local/www/data/our-php-application. This worked on this 4.7/this edited mod_php4-system very well. I posted to the Germany user list, checked google. I found a few hints, but nothing really helped. e.g.: http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.cgi-bin.php http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html My question basically is: How do I setup this php/cgi environment? One way, I was told and can be found on php.net is to add a #!/usr/local/lib/php on top of every php-Skript and all scripts need chmod a+x and need to be in /cgi-bin. This would work. But it is a little uncomfortable way and the main thing is that it would not work with our php-application, which is a set of css, html, php, pictures, so pictures, css, etc would be parsed, too! There are other solutions, one with an AddHandler directive in httpd.conf, but I don't get that running. As it worked half a year ago and as there is a similar way in IIS, to map an extension (.php) to an application (c:\php\bin\php.exe), I suppose that there is a similar way, but I am just to blind to find the solution! My second question is: Why did it work with those instructions from umn-mapserver wiki-pages and why does the same thing not work now? One way to find out, what's wrong, was to cp /bin/cat to /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php. But the error is the same. I would be very grateful for hints/help! Thanks in advance!

My intention is to copy the files to a directory on the second HDD of my present FBSD system, and point sysinstall to that partition/directory during the install. This may not answer the questions you posed, but it may be a good start for you.
