Most of the time, bad writing quality is a sign of missing compatibility between drive and media. There might be some cases where a drive produces better quality at lower writing speed, but if it does, the firmware is crap and OPC (optimum power calibration) isn't working. With low quality firmware you can have the different affect as well, so this doesn't mean anything. While comparing the writing quality of a LiteOn LTR-48125W and a Plextor PlexWriter Premium, I did some C1-Scans. I used different media and writing speed.

From the FreeBSD Handbook, 7.2 Setting Up the Sound Card: The first thing to do is adding the generic audio driver sound(4) to the kernel, for that you will need to add the following line to the kernel configuration file: device sound [snip] Then we have to add the support for our sound card. Which is where 'device snd_es137x' comes in, so yes, you do still need to add that line to your kernel conf _if_ you want sound support built in to the kernel.

DNS - FreeBSD
Hi all, I am sending this question to this list only thinking FreeBSD users may be the best source of info regarding networking on FreeBSD. I understand if many think I would be better serverd sending to some Bind or DNS list... That having been said I have: - one managed switch, the Gigabyte port is connected to our upstream provider; - 2 VLANS configured (LAN and WAN): - The VLANs are configured to allow access to LAN from LAN or to WAN from WAN only. - 5 FreeBSD boxes connected to this switch with s NICS each: - 1 NIC on each is the LAN NIC; - This LAN scheme is using 192.168.0.1/24 - The hosts are configured as 192.168.0.1,2,3,4,5,6; (the switch being #6). - 1 NIC on each is the WAN NIC. - Many different IP addresses (hosting etc); - 2 of the hosts are fully setup authoritive nameservers for mydomain.com and several hundred other domains. My questions revolve around DNS in general, as related to the above setup. 1.) The default 'make-localhost' script (originally ran before I had a managed switch and only 2 hosts on the network). Created the zone that looks as such: file /etc/namedb/192.168.1 $TTL3600 @ IN SOA thishost.mydomain.com. root.thishost.mydomain.com. ( 20020527; Serial 3600; Refresh 900 ; Retry 360 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS thishost.mydomain.com. 1 IN PTR localhost.mydomain.com. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get my head around what this file is for, and if (considering the 192.168.0.1/24 scheme I am using), if it is configured right. QAny thoughts? QShould I have a similar file on each of the other hosts? In my resolv.conf files on each host, I am using lines like: nameserver 192.168.0.2 nameserver 192.168.0.1 QAre there any downsides to using this scheme? (the thought here was to keep the lookups from ns1 and ns2 from going through my providers router, therefor causing me to pay for bandwidth I could otherwise keep local). I have ipfw firewalls setup on all the hosts. I have rules allowing all outgoing traffic from all hosts, and rules to allow incomming traffic to port 53 UDP and TCP. QDoes there need to be other ports / protocols passed for the DNS to work correctly? QWould there be any benifit to setting up a caching server on each of the three (Non nameserver) hosts?

Re: ATi and Xorg Troubles in FreeBSD 5.3

Makefile correction?
Hello All,
I am trying to install gnuchess but when I start the build process it
errors out as follows.
tardis# make install clean
=== Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
=== Found saved configuration for gnuchess-5.07
=== Extracting for gnuchess-5.07
= Checksum OK for book_1.01.pgn.gz.
/usr/ports/distfiles//gnuchess-5.07.tar.gz: No such file or directory
tar: Error opening archive: Empty input file: Inappropriate file type or
format
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/games/gnuchess.
From what I make of this it looks like there is an extra / in the path
to the distfile location.
I am trying to correct the Makefile, I figure this is where it would be,
and cannot figure out what to change to correct this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Sean

ghostscript install error on 5.3-RELEASE
HI, I'm having trouble installing ghostscript-gnu on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (in order to set up CUPS as a print server). It stops during compilation. make install distclean gs_install_error only sent part of the output that I saw to the file gs_install_error. Hopefully, the rest of it is not needed for troubleshooting. If it is needed, could somebody advise me as to how to capture all of the output in one file? It was complaining about implicit function declarations, among a few other warnings. Please help! I've had so much trouble with FreeBSD, I almost want to go back to Linux.

EHCI without UHCI?
Under 4.10, if I want USB2 but don't need USB1, can the ehci driver be used in the kernel without the uhci driver? What are uhci's dependencies? On a similar note, if I commented out some kernel option that was required by another kernel option, would the build process fail, or would it build a broken kernel? The reason I ask: I hafta run usbd with -f /dev/usb4 because my USB external harddrive insists on being detected on usb4 instead of usb0-3. The dmesg indicates that usb0-3 are uhci and usb4 is ehci, and it'd be nice to force then all ehci, since they are all USB2 ports. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

Re: Plans about GIANT-LOCK, SMP performance ...
On Sat, 8 Jan 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anybody know what are the plans, for locking mechanism like GIANT-LOCK in future 5.3 Releases? I have heard from many people that this GIANT-Locking mechanism is not the best thing to have! Some said that it may be replaced. Some also said that it won't. 1:) What are the plans about it? 2:) How does this affect performance? 3:) Which is version is best for an Opteron QUAD? 4.10 Release or 5.X Release ??? One of the single largest projects associated with the FreeBSD 5.x release line has been the elimination of the Giant lock from many of the kernel code paths. FreeBSD 5.0 - 5.2 largely involved introducing the infrastructure necessary to remove Giant from major subsystems, and while Giant was removed in some of these releases from a number of important IPC paths, etc, it was still present over the majority of device drivers, the network subsystem, and the storage subsystem. In FreeBSD 5.3, the network subsystem runs without the Giant lock in most cases (some legacy components, such as support for IPX/SPX require Giant -- most of these cases will be eliminated in 5.4). The result is substantial increases in effective parallelism on SMP on multi-processor systems. This work continues in both the 6.x and 5.x branches, with many additional improvements expected over the next few months (and releases). In particular, now that the basic SMPng infrastructure works, we're moving into the optimization phase in which additional locking overhead associated with finer graind lock is profiled, analyzed, and optimized. Performance measurements generally suggest that work loads capable of exploiting parallelism in the network stack may see substantial improvements on SMP over previous releases, including things like databases, large scale web servers, etc. Other workloads may see less improvement, or in some cases, a performance reduction with respect to 4.x. In particular, the change in kernel architecture to remove the Giant lock has introduced additional locking operations that are not free -- on UP systems, this effect may be more noticeable, since there are no parallelism gains to be had from finer grained locking (although the preemption benefits can be observable). As I mention above, this is the subject of active work. One of the substantial goals for the 6.x line, with a likely merge to 5.x as the work matures, is the removal of Giant from large parts of VFS. There are current patches to do this in many useful cases for the UFS/UFS2 file system, available for testing on the freebsd-current mailing list. These are highly experimental, but continue the SMPng work in important ways. You can start to look for the benefits of this work in mainstream FreeBSD releases in 6-8 months, I think. For the 64-bit AMD processor line, FreeBSD 5.3/amd64 is generally recommended, as it is able to take advantage of the 64-bit feature set, including large address spaces, which can be very important for database applications, large scale image processing, computation, etc. One caution I might have is the following: some workload do not benefit from 64-bit operating system code and applications, as they are not able to use the additional memory effectively. When this is the case, the additional address space (etc) introduce an overhead relative to 32-bit operation, so it may be that these applications see a performance hit when not running the 32-bit version of FreeBSD for the platform (the i386 release).

I have the following interface and gif tunnel (with the equivalent being on the same subnet at the other side): fxp0: a.a.a.a/24 gif0: a.a.a.a - a.a.a.b (192.168.0.1/32 - 192.168.0.2/32) My question is really what order does the packet go pass through my firewall (pf) in? i.e., is it: in on fxp0 from a.a.a.b to a.a.a.a (unencapsulated) in on gif0 from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.1 or does it just magically ``appear'' on gif0 straight away? Now I write it out I am assuiming that it passes through pf twice (first on fxp0 and secondly on gif0); if this is in fact the case, what sensible rule might I add to allow this encapsulated traffic from a.a.a.b? Currently I have pf configured as follows: pass all pass quick proto icmp block in on fxp0 pass out on fxp0 keep state pass in on fxp0 proto tcp from any to fxp0 port 22 keep state The reason I ask this question is that for my tunnel endpoints to ping each other, a.a.a.a must be doing so (a.a.a.b has no firewall).

Its been well documented that 5.3 does NOT work as advertised, and the newest intel chipsets (not that new) don't work in 4.10, redering is useless with the newer intel processors. To quote Robert watson of the Freebsd core team who posted to this list on Nov 11, 2004: The statement you quote below does not mean that FreeBSD 5.3 is inappropriate for use in production, it rather means that with some workloads, FreeBSD 5.3 may show reduced performance over some earlier releaes. However, given that FreeBSD 4.x is in many cases the gold standard for network performance, and FreeBSD 5.x includes substantial rewrites of many sections of the kernel to support SMP better, some degradation in specific workloads at this point in the 5.x release life cycle isn't unexpected. My belief is that for the vast majority of FreeBSD installs, the performance costs will not be measurable -- in fact, in many interesting workloads, performance is dramatically improved. As I indicated in the quoted e-mail, the workloads particularly sensitive to the on-going performance work will be ones that are sensitive to small additional overhead, such as the high speed forwarding of many very small packets. And as I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, this is the continued topic of active development, with many improvements already present in the 5.x-STABLE branch. FreeBSD 5.3 sees an observably higher per-packet processing costs than the 4.x branch due to in-progress changes to the synchronization and queueing models. Specifically, the SMPng work has changed the interrupt and synchronization models throughout the kernel in order to increase concurrency and preemptibility (i.e., lower latency in interrupt-based processing). However, this has increaseed the overall overhead of synchronization on the stack. The network stack forwarding path is particularly sensitive to this, so while other parts of the system see immediate concurrency benefits (i.e., socket-centric web servers that now see less contention on SMP, and more preemption on UP), this path still runs slower for many workloads. We're actively working to remedy this, and you will see changes merged to the 6.x and 5.x branches over the next couple of months that will cut into the numbers you see above by quite a bit. Off the top of my head, I would have expected to see more around a 15% overhead on UP for the workload you're seeing, but as you point out, results can and do vary. 5.3 is not ready for production. 4.10 should be fully supported until it is. The FreeBSD 4.x branches will be supported in production for quite some time in the future. However, only some releases are slated for long life maintenance, in order to reduce the testing and backporting workload and allow FreeBSD developers to focus their work more effectively. You can find detailed information on the planned support lifetimes of various releases on the FreeBSD Security Officer's web page. And, you'll see that changes and improvements continue to be merged to 4.x, albeit at a reduced pace, as we move forward. Merging large scale changes to 4.x doesn't make sense -- the effort is better invested in continuing to move forward on the 6.x and 5.x branches. However, as someone who anticipates having 4.x systems in production for years to come, I can promise we won't see things simply cease to be supported. I actually still have FreeBSD 3.x systems in production, as do many large consumers of FreeBSD... Entertainingly, at the company I work at, we only recently moved from Windows NT 4 to Windows XP, despite the dramatic improvements in Windows between those systems...

Thanks all, my apologies if this is a bikeshed, I did my best to research it. Found some postings in this group last year where someone mentions this phenomena, but no fix or answer was offered. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-April/044070.html This is probably due to resource limits on the maximum number of fragments that may be supported for an IP packet. You can take a look at the fragment limits using sysctl: net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets: 800 net.inet.ip.maxfragsperpacket: 16 If you increase maxfragsperpacket, you should be able to see FreeBSD clients and servers handle ICMP pings larger in size. These resources limits were put in place to address a widely observed denial of service attack involving the delivery of many small fragments to hosts in a form that prevents reassembly but consumes large amounts of memory and CPU. Let me know if tweaking the above doesn't help, though!

DMA and CDROM Drive

I'll upgrade to 5.3 in a month or so when I have the time, but the problem seems to occur on all versions. I've searched the archives and Googled extensively, and I can find messages from other people with the same problem, but I haven't found a solution. I used tcpdump to look at the UDP traffic through the bootp ports. About once an hour, my host would send a UDP packet out the bootpc port to the bootps port at the broadcast address. I would get a reply back from my ISP's router with the DHCP server's IP address. Shortly before it was time to renew the DHCP lease, my host started sending out a boatload of these broadcast packets, with no response from my ISP. This stopped at the time the old lease listed as the renew time. The only thing I received from the DHCP server IP address was an echo request packet, which I didn't respond to. In spite of the fact that there was no evidence of UDP traffic between my host and the DHCP server, my DHCP lease was renewed and my IP address was changed. That's the first time my IP address has been changed when I wasn't off line.

I am guessing if I am correct in the + comment above that an
'EXTRACT_ONLY statement is not needed because it is an additional file
to the main?
Looking at another Makefile, the gcompris2 one to be exact, I do not see
an EXTRACT_ONLY line. I looked at two others and they also do not have
an EXTRACT_ONLY line.
This statement is only needed in certain circumstances, or there is more
then one way to do the same thing?

Thanks Aaron,
That did the trick.
Questions however.
The DISTFILES= statement you added is obviously different from the
DISTFILES+= in the (WITH_OPENING_BOOK) section.
Does the + symbol just mean in addition to the main file?
Welcome Sean,
I believe the '=+' symbol means an addition to the current distfiles. If
there are multiple files than all of the distfiles need to be
specified(including the main one). When WITH_OPENING_BOOKS is defined
that makes multiple distfiles, because of the specific package required
by opening books.
I am guessing if I am correct in the + comment above that an
'EXTRACT_ONLY statement is not needed because it is an additional
file to the main?
The statement is needed, because EXTRACT_ONLY is telling 'make' to only
attempt to extract the specified files. The second distfile isn't
suppose to be unzipped; which, brings me to a certain realization that
the EXTRACT_ONLY statement should be in the WITH_OPENING_BOOKS section;
as it is only relevant when there are mulitple distfiles.
I did a bit more research and realized my modification does not pass
through 'portlint' without warnings; as the DISTFILES statement should
not be used when only one distfile is needed(this occurs when
WITH_OPENING_BOOKS is not used). I came up with a solution that passes
through 'portlint' with flying colors. Just add:
DISTFILES+= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
to the WITH_OPENING_BOOKS section. I'll send this to the maintainer as well.
Looking at another Makefile, the gcompris2 one to be exact, I do not see
an EXTRACT_ONLY line. I looked at two others and they also do not have
an EXTRACT_ONLY line.
This statement is only needed in certain circumstances, or there is

You are correct, the statement is only needed if one or more distfiles
does not need to be unzipped.

linksys pcmpc100 using driver ed failing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I am trying to get a linksys pcmpc100 ethernet card working under a fresh installation of FreeBSD 5.3-Release #2. This is supposed to be supported using the ed driver. Going through /var/run/dmesg.boot I find that the card slots seem to be working: cbb1: TI1225 PCI-Cardbus Bridge at device 4.1 on pci0 cardbus1: CardBUs bus on cbb1 pccard1: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb1 But then, towards the end of the file, there seems to be a failure loading the actual card: ed1: Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3) at port 0x100-0x11f irq 11 function 0 config 61 on pccard1 device_attach: ed1 attach returned 6 I think the failure of this device to load is confirmed by the fact that ifconfig ed1 up returns interface ed1 does not exist even though a line for ed1 is in rc.conf (but i might be confused about this step in the process). I have found nothing searching the web of the archives, so any help pointing me in the right direction would be wonderful.

Re: dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied
On Sat, 8 Jan 2005, Bob Hall wrote: I keep getting the message dhclient: send_packet: Permission denied I believe this is actually a bug/feature in dhclient, which is trying to send a packet from an IP address that it has a lease for, but isn't configured on the network interface. The IP stack says no you don't, which dhclient carefully reports to the user. This would explain why you never see a packet stopped by the firewall -- it never gets that far. What you might want to do is run dhclient under ktrace to see which system call causes the problem, and perhaps confirm that the system call arguments are somewhat bogus. All of this isn't necessarily a functional bug, but telling the user about the error is frustrating for everyone, because not only is it hard to interpret, but there's really nothing you can do about it... (I find it very annoying when error messages exist that provide no hint to the user about what they should do, or worse, when the message is of no value to anyone except that it is confusing!)

Ss 2:13PM 0:00.26 /sbin/dhclient rl0 I've tried setting up special rules in the firewall to catch the dhclient packets, and the firewall doesn't seem to be stopping them. The ipfw rules to pass the packets are allow udp from any 68 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 67 out via rl0 allow udp from any 67 to 255.255.255.255 dst-port 68 in via rl0 ipfw show doesn't register any packets even when dhclient is complaining about not being able to send packets. I can get an IP address, no problem. From the messages log: dhclient: New IP Address (rl0): ip address dhclient: New Subnet Mask (rl0): 255.255.254.0 dhclient: New Broadcast Address (rl0): ip broadcast address dhclient: New Routers: ip router address But even with this, I'm still getting the Permissin denied message. The only DHCP configuration I've done is in the rc.conf file: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP I'm not using inetd. This has been a problem starting with FBSD 4.4 through 4.8. and with my current system, 5.2.1. I'll upgrade to 5.3 in a month or so when I have the time, but the problem seems to occur on all versions. I've searched the archives and Googled extensively, and I can find messages from other people with the same problem, but I haven't found a solution. I used tcpdump to look at the UDP traffic through the bootp ports. About once an hour, my host would send a UDP packet out the bootpc port to the bootps port at the broadcast address. I would get a reply back from my ISP's router with the DHCP server's IP address. Shortly before it was time to renew the DHCP lease, my host started sending out a boatload of these broadcast packets, with no response from my ISP. This stopped at the time the old lease listed as the renew time. The only thing I received from the DHCP server IP address was an echo request packet, which I didn't respond to. In spite of the fact that there was no evidence of UDP traffic between my host and the DHCP server, my DHCP lease was renewed and my IP address was changed. That's the first time my IP address has been changed when I wasn't off line.
