setting up a printer - best method?

[Aaron Peterson]

I've read the handbook on setting up bsd style printers, and i've used
cups some before i started using freebsd.  the bsd style printing
mechanism looks complicated to me, i didn't have consistent success with
cups.  i'm interested in what method is generally the easiest and what
method is the best. the two printers i will deal with most are a parallel
port panasonic laser printer i have at home that i would like to set up as
a shared network printer (shared through my bsd box with other bsd boxes
and a windows XP laptop) so all my home computers can use it, and a big
lexmark laser printer at work that is networked (has an ethernet card in
the printer).  would somebody with experience setting up printing for bsd
machines give me some direction, suggestions, or pointers? (links to
useful articles-howtos are always welcome)  and perhaps, what is outlined
in the handbook is the best way to go.  i just wanted to ask.

Try comparing two CPU-hungry processes that both run for a long time
and you will see the difference.
Processes which do a lot of I/O and don't use much CPU tends to get
fairly high priority. Processes also tend to start with relatively high
priority so a short-lived process will not have had time to get its
priority adjusted much regardless of its nice-level.

Let me guess: You are using [t]csh as your shell, right?
That has 'nice' as a built-in command with a slightly different syntax
than /usr/bin/nice  (which is what is documented in the nice(1)
manpage)

No, you dont quite understand the scheduling.
There are actually two different priorities that influence scheduling.

labeled 'PRI' and 'NICE'.  The first one ('PRI') is the one that is
actually used to determine when a process gets to run. This is
dynamically adjusted by the system to make sure that all processes get
at least *some* CPU-time (so no process can be completely starved.) The

process, having NICE=-20, keep constant PRI of 108~110, but other 
processes like 'yacc', 'cc', although running at NICE=4, comes out even 
at PRI=120, and almost keep that high until it finish its work in

music. If NICE=-20 processes cannot have more PRI than NICE=4, what's

I run at a very similar box, but use mpg123 rather than mpg321, and I
can play music without significant disturbance.
You might wish to try mpg123 instead, in my experience it needs less
CPU-power than mpg321.
 

My mpg123 hangs after copyright notice. It's another story though.

You could also try using a higher nice value for the make process. (i.e
run it with 'nice -19 make' or something like that.)
 

I tried 'nice -n 19 make' which gives 'badly formed number' error. 'nice

The ext2 support that can be custom compiled into the freebsd kernel is
definitely sufficient to mount and read data from ext2 formatted
partitions.  i have heard though, and perhaps someone on this list might
confirm or discredit this notion, that attempting to use ext2 support (not
journal aware) for writing on an ext3 (with journal) partition can ruin
the journals on the filesystem.

At that rate, Bluetooth is probably too slow for raw CD audio.  Either
of your two solutions would work.  Option 2 is probably easier to
implement and lets people keep their music files on their own machines. 
On the other hand, if your link goes down or the person goes out of
range, you're in trouble.  Option 1 keeps all the music files on the
server.  A little searching came up with http://www.jinzora.org/ ,
which is a PHP script that seems to implement Option 1 and then some.

No, you dont quite understand the scheduling.
There are actually two different priorities that influence scheduling.
If you look at the output from top(1) you can see them in the columns
labeled 'PRI' and 'NICE'.  The first one ('PRI') is the one that is
actually used to determine when a process gets to run. This is
dynamically adjusted by the system to make sure that all processes get
at least *some* CPU-time (so no process can be completely starved.) The
second ('NICE') is what is changed by the nice/renice commands and
affects how the actual priority is changed by the system. (Processes
with a high nice-value essentially gets their priority raised slowly
and lowered quickly .)


I run at a very similar box, but use mpg123 rather than mpg321, and I
can play music without significant disturbance.
You might wish to try mpg123 instead, in my experience it needs less
CPU-power than mpg321.

You could also try using a higher nice value for the make process. (i.e
run it with 'nice -19 make' or something like that.)

scheduling priority not working?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. I thought scheduling priority is the kind of absolute priority, that 
is only when the higher priority process don't ask for resource, can the 
lower priority process gets resource. If the higher priority process sucks, 
the lower priority process starvs.

Now I have a old Pentium-mmx 166 box, running mpg321 fine. I wish to listen 
to music when recompile the kernel, so turn on the music, do:
#nice make;
I thought "nice make" use the resouce mpg321 left to it, but actually the 
music process is seriously disturbed, it begins to sound like  
terrible.

So I don't realy understand the scheduling priority mechnism in FreeBSD?

ar, nm not reading library files (libz, etc.)

[clayton rollins]

Hi List,

I've been having problems with ar and nm not being able
to use the library files installed on my system, though
executables created with them seem to work fine.
libz is not the only library this happens with, just using
it as an example.
The output:
ar -t /usr/lib/libz.so.2
/usr/libexec/elf/ar: /usr/lib/libz.so.2: File format not recognized
nm /usr/lib/libz.so.2
/usr/libexec/elf/nm: /usr/lib/libz.so.2: no symbols

The problem was first noticed after a massive round
of portupgrading (due to the threading change).
Rebuilding the system with RELENG_4_9 as of today
did not fix the issue.
Any ideas?

Clayton Rollins

a good solution share the speaker?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Several people are using notebooks in the office, the big desktop computer 
stores music. A good speaker is pluged into the desktop computer (FreeBSD).

What do you think is the best solution to share the speaker? 

These are what I can think of:
* Marc Lehmann wrote a perl module for playing music with mpg123. Write a 
cgi script and let people select playlist/control play on the webpage. 
* Find a existing good mpg123 frontend, modify it, let it control the 
mpg123 on another computer through ssh or even let inetd bring up the 
mpg123 player and let the fontend talk to a socket.

What do you think is the best approach? Thank you.

There's a port for it under ./ports/security/clamav

There's even an update script that you can cron to keep up to date on defs.
It's updated fairly often. Not too shabby for something that costs null.

CVSUP and the refuse file

[Jason Williams]

Hello everyone.

I have a simple question regarding cvsup and using the refuse file. 
Basically, just as the handbook states, I dont want to download certain 
parts of the ports tree. I followed the directions in the handbook, but I 
seem to be downloading the specified ports still.

Here is my ports-supfile:

*default host=192.168.1.93
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
I then put the refuse file in /usr/sup with the ports I don't want 
downloaded. Yet, they continue to be downloaded.

Also, when I was reading the ports-supfile and the standard-supfile, it 
appears that you can also specify certain parts that you do not want to 
download as well. However, I have not been able to figure that part out yet.

Can anyone tell me what im missing and how to fix this?

I appreciate it.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

[Greg Lehey]

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

Contents:

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst other things, it
told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list!

  If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
  you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command
  in the body of your email message:

  unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  FreeBSD-questions.  If that's the case, you'll have to figure out
  which one it is and get your name taken off that one.  If you're
  not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the
  messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a
  clue there.

If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going
on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things
out for you.  Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't
help you.

III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers?
===

Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD,
FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers.  In addition, the
FreeBSD-newbies l

Geometry Incorrect on FreeBSD-5.2.1 installation

[Forrest Aldrich]

I've a SOYO Dragon Platinum Edition motherboard, with SATA drives.   
According to FreeBSD's installation process, my geometry is incorrectly 
set.  So, I did as it asked, rebooted into the BIOS and retrieved the 
figures:

Cylinders:   38309
Head:  16
Pre:   0
LandZone:  38308
Sectors:255
I  selected the "G" command from sysinstall's menu to set the geometry 
manually:  38309/16/255 (cyl/hd/sector) and it still insists the figures 
are wrong.  It's defaulting back to what it believes is correct: 

9729 cylinders
255 heads
63 sectors
These are 80gb SATA drives.  The BIOS is set to run in IDE Enhanced mode 
(I believe).

I did a test installation and it worked, except the dreaded GRUB loader 
(from a linux test install) keeps coming up (fdisk /mbr does NOT get rid 
of it)... I don't know if that's the cause of this problem (doubtful).

Any clues as to what might be wrong?   The BIOS is AMI/Phoenix, and is 
up-to-date.

Thanks.

Problem with dhclient

[Gerard Seibert]

I am running FreeBSD version 5.2.1

I seem to have developed a problem with running DHCP on my computer. The dhclient is 
no longer working correctly. It was running fine until today.

Upon bootup it no longer makes a connection. I have tried "sysinstall" and things get 
even weirder. I clickand then my network card 
device. No to IPv6 and yes to DHCP. At that point an error message is printed across 
the screen saying: dhcp client: end_packet: no route to host interface on device 
/dev/cuaa0. Eventually this message times out and I get to the configuration screen. 
However, entering the correct information does not seem to help. I have tried removing 
the /dev/cuaa0 device and rebooting, but nothing good happpens.

How do I go about getting it working again. 

I should mention that I have two other computers on this net, all connected via a 
network hub to a router and then to a cable modem. The other two machines are running 
XP without any problems. This machine was working correctly until today, Therefore I 
assume that something got corrupted.

Thanks in advance.

5.x are technology preview releases.  The latest in the 5.x branch is
5.2.1.  Odd/even means nothing to FreeBSD release engineering.  See

There are several ways to achieve what you want to do.  The most
obvious would be to create the Vinum volume with only one plex and
copy the data across via the network.  You could then move the disk on
the OpenBSD box and create another subdisk/plex on it, then start it.
There's no way to keep the original data on the OpenBSD disk, since
Vinum requires a different format from native disks, and OpenBSD has a
(slightly) different on-disk format from FreeBSD.

gotmail is software to fetch email from hotmail, and afaik it completely

I did try loading just the snd_pcm module, which did nothing. 
SoundBlaster cards need a bridge, as far as I can tell, to the PCM 
driver. That's where the snd_sbc and snd_sb16 kernel modules come in.

I had used more than just XMMS -- I used cdcontrol (making sure the 
volume was turned up on the analogue CD input), which didn't play 
audio at all, as was the case with XMMS. When I tried using 
applications that use sound (i.e. Gaim), the sound was compressed 
(sped up if you will).

As I said before, the sound is compressed -- not in the data sense, 
but rather in the analogue sense where the wavelength of a waveform 
decreases, as does the period. I appologize if I had confused you, but 
I'm not a Software Engineer -- merely a lowly Electrical Engineering 
Student. :)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by outdated - does FreeBSD go with 
the Linux Kernel release numbers - odd for development, even for 
stable - or am I missing something, because uname-a tells me I'm 
running 5.1-RELEASE.

Thanks.

Nothing to do with the Linux crowd ;-),
it's just that 5.1-RELEASE was what,
October?  And it's an "experimental" or
at least "New Technology" (~'beta'?)
release ... so you really should try and
stay up to date as much as possible
to see if the issues you are having
have been resolved.

I am not familiar with gotmail, but maybe it is calling the default global 
.procmailrc file instead of your local .procmailrc file. Also check your 
procmail logs (if you have it turned on), and your logs from gotmail, if it 
has logging capabilities..  also, the newer procmail versions do support 
Maildir delivery, whereas the older versions do not.. and the older 
versions should be used with a program called Safecat, but not needed for 
newer procmail versions.

This not having a defaultdelivery file in your system also worries me, as 
it should have been installed by default.

I'm looking to take an old P120 with 128m of ram and turn it into a lan
DHCP server.  The thing is, the guys who will be pulling DHCP addresses
are cream of the crop computer users who really know their way around. 
So I plan to have all network services (minus DHCP of course) turned off
and I will have IPFW running as well to protect the box from most hack
attempts.

The network itself with be a 300+ person gaming lan broken down into 24
person Vlan's for added security.  The box in question will only be
console accessible to the average user.  AKA, you ain't at the console,
you don't get in as I plan to turn off sendmail, ssh, everything except
DHCP and IPFW.  So, how feisable is it to actually run a system like
this?  I realize I gotta open up certain ports in the firewall rules to
allow DHCP.  I'll figure those out later.  I'm more curious if these
steps to protect the security of the box are doable and if so, would
they be practical?  I'm just thinking ahead like this because I don't
want the box to get hacked and used to bring down the network.
I'm also looking to set the firewall to log ALL packets so that if we
have a problem user, we can use the firewall logs to identify said user.
 I'd be looking for things like port scanning and other hacking/virus
like activity.  We had our network brought down once by same said virus
and hacking activity but never found who did it.  So this is our new
plan to prevent that from happening and detect and remove said
individuals who are causing said issues.
It's hard enough running a 300 person gaming lan.  We want to be sure
that we don't have it brought to its knees like last time.

Yes, you need to tell qmail what type of mailbox system you have. It
will 
not deliver to Maildir if you do not have it..

I am assuming you have a stock setup of qmail with a /var/qmail/control
dir 
in place..

just make a defaultdelivery file in the control dir, and put in
./Maildir/ 
into it, to have a Maildir format..

Thanks for the advice -- I've already checked there, as per the

in my loader.conf, as per the directions in the handbook, and told to me 
by many on the #freebsd channel on freenode.

I do get sound playing, however, the problem is, wherenever I do get 
sound playing, the time is compressed -- it plays 10 times (or even 
more) faster than it should be.

It's annoying, I guess, because I easily enough was able to get OSS to 
work with Linux kernel 2.4.x and ALSA in the 2.6.x kernel on this 
computer, but I still cannot for the life of me get the FreeBSD kernel 
to play audio on this computer. :(

Re: directories to exclude for backups

[Andrew Hall]

Ben,

I personally believe the only data necessary to archive is your
configuration files, and user data.  The OS is easy to replace, real
easy in FreeBSD.  I consider the entire OS to be expendable because it
is so easy to replace.  Another option for software is amanda.  Its in
ports.

With the Maildir format, the second ":" is not needed in recipes, as no 
locking is needed, just one of the benefits of Maildir format over mbox.

Mail is not stored on a spool, but as individual emails..

A couple of items:

1. In recipe examples that I've seen, there is a space between the zero and 
second colon in ":0 :".  I don't know if this matters.

2. To test the recipes, make a copy of the mailbox and run formail. (formail 
is installed with procmail.)

cd ~
cp /var/mail/henninb ./henninb2
formail -ds procmail < ./henninb2

If the recipes work, then the problem may be that procmail isn't being 
executed successfully.

Good luck,

Andrew Gould

Re: SoundBlaster 16 PnP ISA Card on 5.1

Hey.
I guess I was trying my best to avoid having to recompile the Kernel,

recompiling?

Thanks.

You can try using FreeBSD's Linux Compatibility, but I can't guarantee if it 
works. That's why I always buy NVIDIA cards because they make FreeBSD 
drivers :-)

You shouldn't install it in the default paths though, but in /compat/linux.

It seems to build fine if you make the recommended changes in the
Makefile (look in the Makefile and search for "FreeBSD").  You need
the "tre" regex implementation, but the "libtre" port can install 
that for you.

I won't submit a port until I have it doing something useful for me...

You should also read all the posts to this list and see for your
self all the 5.2.1 problems people are having. Bottom line is 5.2 is
an very dirty release and is an long way from being moved to stable.
It's formal release date has all ready been moved back 3 time and
will more than likely move back again. The kernel development team
just bit off more than it could handle this time. If it gets moved
to stable in it current condition it will only end up being one of
those 5.2.1.1.1 releases as fixes are applied to the stable branch
and fixing stable releales is not an goal of the stable branch.

Dude, Travis' problem sounds a lot more like what would happen if
one of the
nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf wasn't responding to DNS
queries.

Your responses would be more helpful to other people if you
refrained from
locking the notion that all problems with 5.x are due to UFS2 into
your brain,
or for that matter, being convinced that IPFW is completely broken
and there
is a conspiracy against other firewalls on FreeBSD.  :-)

PS: To debug your problem, try using "dig @ns1 host", where you
replace ns1
with each of the DNS resolvers you have listed or available, and
replace host
with one or more hostnames that have been causing delays.  This will
show you
how quickly DNS is working and thus confirm whether the problem lies
in this
area, or else expose which nameserver isn't working and maybe why...

Re: Search Path in bash2

[Peter Risdon]

Martin McCormick wrote:

	I am trying to modify the execution path on a FreeBSD system
for all the bash2 users on that system.  The man page says that 

 

	  default path is system-dependent, and is set by the
	  administrator who installs bash.	A common value is
	  ``/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:.''.
   

	How do I set, or in this case, reset it? 
 

The man page also says:

When  bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter-
  active shell with the --login option, it first reads and 
executes  com-
  mands  from  the file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After 
reading
  that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and 
~/.profile,
  in  that order, and reads and executes commands from the first 
one that
  exists and is readable.  The --noprofile option may be  used  
when  the
  shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

But so far as I have seen, at least on FreeBSD, /etc/profile does not 
generally contain path info. This is normally set in ~/.profile and the 
default contains something like this:

# remove /usr/games and /usr/X11R6/bin if you want
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/
bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH
So my guess is that to conform closely to this way of doing things, add 
the path to each user's ~/.profile and also to 
/usr/share/skel/dot.profile so it is there immediately for new users.

Alternatively, unless someone contradicts this, the man page seems to 
suggest you could add a path to /etc/profile and it would then be 
system-wide. I have never done this myself, though, so can't vouch for 
it whereas I have edited ~/.profile frequently.

HTH.

I looked at that. That's not what I mean. :) I mean, if I do not have to 
build a new kernel to enable firewalling, logging and divert, then how 
do I enable them, such that the following line from my messages file 
would show that they have been enabled?

Adding firewall_enable="YES" to rc.conf caused the ipfw module to be 
loaded, enabling firewalling. Adding firewall_logging="YES" did *not* 
enable logging in the message file line shown below. How do I do that? 
How would I get that line to show divert as being enabled? I may be 
wrong (correct me if I am, please), but doesn't that line have to show 
them as enabled, before I can successfully make use of them in ipfw 
commands like those you pointed me to in rc.firewall? What if I want 
that line to report that the default is open, instead of deny?

Try ping 66.102.11.104

If this also fails, don't read on - wait for help from someone more 
experienced :-)

If this works, then the problem is that you don't have DNS server 
specified. You should put something like this into /etc/resolv.conf:

domain mydomain.net
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx

xx.xx.xx.xx should be replaced with your ISP's DNS server. If you don't 
have your own domain name, you can use just your ISP's domain name 
here.

Kernel modules question.

[Shaun T. Erickson]

In linux, I'd use /etc/modules.conf to list and configure any kernel 
modules I want loaded at boot time. How is that done in FreeBSD?

I see that there are a *lot* of kernel modules in /boot/kernel. How do I 
find out what each one is for and what their configuration options are?

Sorry for newbie questions. I'm trying to learn FreeBSD as fast as I can. :)

Onderwerp: Firewall enabling confusion.


I put 'firewall_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf, in anticipation of
rebuilding my kernel with the following options turned on:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100

I rebooted, for unrelated reasons, and now see in the messages file that
ipfw2 has been enabled and, indeed, since I have no rules in place, my
system is cut off from the network.

I haven't yet rebuilt my kernel, so I don't understand why this kicked
in. Did adding that line in rc.conf suck in a kernel module that
obsoletes the need for those kernel options? How do I check (I'd do an
lsmod, on Linux - don't know what the equivalent FreeBSD command is)?
If it is a module, how do I enable logging, as adding
'firewall_logging="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf didn't turn it on, according to
the messages file. Likewise for divert (though I don't currently need it).

Vinum configuration question.

[Jason Schadel]

Here's my situation.  I have two machines.  One running OpenBSD on a 
60gig drive and one running FreeBSD on a 10gig drive with a second 60gig 
for storage.  I want to take the 60 gig drive from the OpenBSD box and 
use it as a mirror to the 60 gig in the FreeBSD box.  The catch is I 
want to create the mirror on FreeBSD before I move the drive so I can 
copy the data on the OpenBSD box to the FreeBSD box.

Is there a way I can configure the drive on FreeBSD with vinum so I can 
copy the data from the OpenBSD drive then insert the 60 gig drive in the 
OpenBSD box into the array on the FreeBSD box?

TIA

Re: Multiple FreeBSD-installations on one harddisk?

1) If you use the default FreeBSD master bootstrap program, boot0,
   do not configure it with the "noupdate" option.  (See the man
   page for the "boot0cfg" command.)  The boot1 program needs the
   boot0 "update" feature to determine which slice is being booted.

2) FreeBSD 4.9 does not understand UFS2 file systems (the default file
   system for FreeBSD 5.2).  Therefore, if you create a file system
   under 5.2 that you want to access from 4.9, specify the UFS1 file
   system format when you run newfs.

3) FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2 store UFS1 summary data (e.g. amount of free
   disk space) in different places in the file system superblock.
   If you mount the same file system writable from both OS, you might
   like to "fsck -p" the file system after you switch to the other OS.

>>

Be very careful not to enable a newfs for any preexisting partition
(on the other OS slice) when working in the sysinstall disk partition
menu.  I generally avoid the issue by doing the installation onto another
disk and manually copying the new OS onto the first disk.  Caution
dictates making a full set of backups before installing the second OS.

>>

Probably.  It used to be possible to configure a partition outside of
its slice by specifying an out-of-bounds partition offset to the disklabel
program.  I don't know if this is still tolerated.  I strongly advise
against it.  You can probably declare a special "swapdev" in a kernel
config file.  Perhaps there is a relevant "syscontrol" or "hint" (which
I don't know about) that you could specify in /boot/whatever.
I strongly advise against this also.  Disk space and main memory are
very cheap these days.  If you have enough main memory, you don't
need much swap space.  Creating a dependency of one OS on another's
installation could create a painful long term maintenance problem.

Dude, Travis' problem sounds a lot more like what would happen if one of the

Your responses would be more helpful to other people if you refrained from 
locking the notion that all problems with 5.x are due to UFS2 into your brain, 
or for that matter, being convinced that IPFW is completely broken and there 
is a conspiracy against other firewalls on FreeBSD.  :-)

PS: To debug your problem, try using "dig @ns1 host", where you replace ns1 
with each of the DNS resolvers you have listed or available, and replace host 
with one or more hostnames that have been causing delays.  This will show you 
how quickly DNS is working and thus confirm whether the problem lies in this 
area, or else expose which nameserver isn't working and maybe why...

You can try higher HZ numbers, but you might run into other problems.
Experiment and see. Others have experimented with higher HZ numbers
so you might want to check the list archives. Anyway, is a 1ms delay
really that bad?

The 1ms delay isn't that bad if it was 1ms but we're talking about 3-4ms atleast. As 
for HZ numbers, what should I search for in the archives and on which list since it 
seems like HZ is also in the dmesg output for the clock generator so it's one of those 
terms that are used widely. Thanks, John

Re: Boot and MBR.

[HOLLOW, CHRISTOPHER]

Mark,

  You might want to try booting the box with a Win98 Rescuse disk and 
running 'fdisk /mbr'.  This -should- re-window-ize the MBR.  Then run 
fdisk from the prompt and set the Windows partition as active.  Reboot 
and see if Windows boots normally.  You will not see any indication of 
the existance of the BSD installation at this point.  Should Windows 
come up okay, install Grub (or GAG if it suits your fancy) and you 
-should- be off and running.

DISCLAIMER:  The ^^^ -should- ^^^ is in there because I'm not entirely 
familiar with your environment and configuration.  As always, when 
working with partitions, it is possible that you will lose one, both or 
all of the slices and installations on the box.  If there is anything 
worth keeping, ensure you have it backed up...

HTH,

Chris
