ftp access Q's to ftp.freeBSD mirrors
Good morning, all ! Thanks for the responses pointers. [ DUH! sorry about sending this out wrong the first time to a1poweruser; misread the headers in the reply-to ] I realize the intitial post was long, but I did clearly indicate that the FTP attempts were numurous using quite a lot of anon vs. anonymous vs. public vs. email addy username/password combo's at several ftp sites. THE QUESTION : if I go to ftp.freebsd.org, and I attempt to login w/ ftp software as an anonymous user, PLEASE : what username am I supposed to use? What password, if any, am I suuposed to use ?? Thanks for the recommendations on which packages to try, but login protocol/settings am I supposed to be using? From a Windoze2K machine ..? If I'm missing that at the site, I'd apprec the URL so I can figure why I'm missing that info and not have to bother you with questions this trivial. HUGE bonus for me is if anyone can make a recommendation for mirrors in Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden, any mirror with solid access to Riga, Latvia ... I only speak English rarely get comprehensible help from local East Europe services. I'm pretty much on my own that way here; ''send the local admin an email'' is wasted effort about 90% of the time if you don't have a specific contact. BTW I checked out the bittorrent site .. I'm on a Win2K workstation on a cable modem (DHCP cnnxn that changes at every boot/fluctuation about five-seven times/ day). I don't have access to any of the server settings they started going off about. Is there a client-only option ...? The site didn't seem to suggest that was possible. FTP seemed the best option for my circumstances, but I'm willing to consider others upon recommendation (URL pointer is enough if you've got such; I can read). Yep .. have some idea about the ports system, but obviously have a lot of reading on it it to understand it for efficient use. It's one of the features that has me interested in *BSD. My concern there is that if my connections keeps fuctuating [ sic - I like it, so I'm not correcting _that_ typo ;) ] trying to get the ISO's DL'd then how reliable will depending on ports be..? I assume there is some sort of auto-resume feature, but scarey thoughts crop up when the DL is an install instead of just a data file. I can always resume re-do something like an ISO ... I get very tense feelings when some balck-magic software is auto-installing over the internet. I'd much rather have the source /or bin's and be doing it off-line so I understand what's going on better. This win paradigm of 'Just Click Somewhere And It'll Be Good' is exactly what I'm trying to get away from. I had not considered using the older versions .. my assumption is that the 5.4 release would give me the best chances of success, especially trying to get running while off-line instead of getting stuck waiting on some on-line connection that may or may not give me some estimate as to how much longer it's going to take. And, really, thank you one and all for the man install guide pointers. At least two there I didn't have yet, although I do already have freeBSD netBSD user guides in *.pdf have begun on those. Have got through basic install chapters read through the last 90 days of this emaillist archive over the last couple weeks before I decided to go freeBSD attempted to grab the ISO's. I'm gonna post another or two here on other questions and ask for a critique tweak of install strategy so I can focus on the priorities to study up on. I do not have unlimited time to 'just read everything;' I've located several thousand pages of tech writing, large sections are way beyond my comptrehension today. I'm trying to pare it down to the first couple hundred pages worth that will get me boot-strapped to a working desktop. At the end of July I may be stranded with only my off-line materials as reference for a while. I can always hit a cyber cafe to check email, but ports large DL'z would be impossible or insanely convoluted. Best to download everything I can get right now so I can plow through it during August September.

That's wrong. You are trying to build just a kernel, before a userland

you know exactly what you are doing and why.
then i used second method

Bizarre setting I'm sure I'll find out the 'why' about some day ... Other caveat .. I am based in Riga, Latvia. I could write a small book about it, but let's just summarize that buying anything over the internet from here is largely a waste of money and time. An ebay transaction for a ISO images would chew up weeks and cost stupid amounts of money. $10 USD is a food budget for an entire week here, not to be thrown away lightly. I should be able to connect via ftp have both ISO's for freeBSD 5.4 in about 12 hours time, tops, if I can just find out the magic settings to make the ftp servers show up in my ftp software. Besides, I foresee the need to have to ftp from these sites for quite a number of items as I need them. Getting into two and three week shipping/payment negotiations each time i need something (or _might_ need it have to DL it to find out ...) is really a rather silly methodology. I'm having a hard time believing that nobody on this list has established an ftp connection to one of these servers. Understanding what I'm doing wrong here seems to be the best approach. ''throw money at someone'' ''click here'' ''install that'' pray are the sorts of solutions that *BSD is supposed to NOT be about.

Re: Copying data onto a NTFS partitioned hdd
Two days ago I was trying to pre-emptively solve this problem. A couple quickie comments that may help out at some point, plus related questions : I tried to format a new hard drive using Win2K, knowing there were issues w/ NTFS under *BSD. So, decided to format using FAT32 under disk management. It failed three times (only after wasting 30 mins or so ''formatting''). First, I selected 512 byte sectors .. they were ''too small.'' Then I went with ''default,'' but then the volume size was ''too large.'' (for a 40 GB drive, the identical twin of which served as a Win98 drive without a blurp). Last FAT32 effort I chose teh remaining 1024 byte sector option with same result as 512 byte option. Of course, win2K was too stupid lazy to evaluate these problems prior to committing to format actually pretending to do it ... So, I am assuming that for future, I would use Win98 to create a FAT32 data partition that can be shared by Win/linux *BSD. Or, possibly *BSD or linux to create such .. but I have my doubts regarding Win being able to access such. So, the question portion I wasn't able to answer through various google searches : Win insisted on ''writing a signature'' to the new drive (not used to install an OS .. just format as one large volume for data storage). I finally relented let it since I was unable to find out what such a ''signature'' is and, more importantly, couldn't locate a utility that would allow me to write a signature (or its equivalent) to the drive. Will this affect my ability to let *BSD read the drive later ..? What is this ''signature'' thingie, and what is the lingo for it under linux/*BSD? Is there a utility that I can run under Win or from a bootable floppy that would let me intitate a virgin drive ? Maybe even partition format in a ''universal'' FAT32 for DOS/Win/*nix/*BSD to all access for dfata read/writes? Other question on this is that I understand that linux has solutions to read/write to ntfs. Should *BSD not be able to emulate enough linux to use such a function ..? Linux Win emulation are sold pretty hard as one of the positive points about *BSD. I was going with the FAT32 solution to simplify my life, not because I thought it was required. BTW, I had to format as NTFS since Win2K is my only option for the moment; first time I ever tried to use WinNT to format a volume or drive as FAT32 was strikingly unsurprised when it failed at such a banal task. I am now operating under the assumption I must reformat later to use with *nix/*BSD, so this thread is quite interesting to me so I can do it right the next time .. hopefully within a week to ten days. -- datora serfing the stream electric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Host name ftp.lt.freebsd.org host type automatic detect user idI check mark the anonymous box Password [EMAIL PROTECTED] then click on OK button and it loges me into the server just fine. Now about the subject of long download times because of liminted bandwidth. WS_FTP95 does not have resume ability. I have T1 connection to public internet so not a issue for me. Using MS/Windows to get ISO CD images First of all the .ISO file extension is not supported in the native MS/Windows world. Sure you can download it from one of the FBSD FTP sites and burn it to a CD using MS/Windows, but you end up with a data disk where the ISO file is a single file, not a bootable CD containing the FBSD directory tree which you need to install from. The second major problem is you need a fast Internet connection, (IE: ISDN, DSL, CABLE) to download over. Using a 56K modem will take over 28 hours per CD if you are lucky enough that your ISP does not cut you off or the FTP server does not get busy and suspend your session. To resolve this problem of using a MS/Windows box to obtain the FBSD install CDROM image you will need a MS/Windows FTP program that can restart the ftp download where it left off at, if it gets terminated during the initial download. I used SMARTFTP from www.smartftp.com. Then you need a MS/Windows program that can burn ISO files to CDROM. I used Nero from www.nero.com. The downloaded demos from these sites work just fine to do what you have to do to create your FBSD mini install CDROM. Uninstall them, but keep the downloaded install zip files for them and next time you need to retrieve a FBSD .ISO file, just reinstall to get a new 30 day demo. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of datora tehnika Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 5:27 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ftp access Q's to ftp.freeBSD mirrors On 7/7/05, Robert Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ftp mirrors etc can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ft p.html Yep ... thanks.

Keymapping in X: xterm vs. rxvt
I have some problems with how some programs as sh or dc behave in aterm, but not xterm. About my system: ~%uname -a FreeBSD Klabautermann.ks.se 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #8: Thu Jun 30 21:18:02 CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM i386 With a Swedish keyboard: ~%cat /etc/rc.conf [...] keymap=swedish.iso [...] ~%cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf [...] Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout se Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys EndSection [...] ~%cat .login_conf [...] me:\ :charset=iso-8859-1:\ :lang=en_US.ISO8859-1 [...] The problem starts when I use any of rxvt/aterm/wterm with sh as their shell (e.g. aterm -e sh): In this case when I press SHIFT + 8, which should give me ( (= open parenthesis) on my keyboard, the shell executes a backspace. Also the backspace does not work, but apart from that all other keys, including special characters, seem to work fine. With xterm I do not see any of these problems at all. All other shells, csh, tcsh and zsh work fine with aterm. So far I could ignore all this and be happy using aterm with zsh, but when I now (aterm and zsh) use a program like dc or ficl, which require input, I again have SHIFT + 8 mapped to BACKSPACE not to (. Again, dc does not have this problem run in xterm. This behaviour seems to be inheritable, because when start xterm not directly from the window manager, but from aterm, both sh and dc have SHIFT + 8 mapped to a backspace-like action. I checked the $TERM variable, but that is always rxvt on aterm and xterm on xterm. BTW, bc and vi run fine under all conditions, i.e. ( is where it should be. So to conclude: There is something that sh, dc and ficl have in common concerning how they interpret keys under X that does not work together with aterm/rxvt/wterm, but runs fine with xterm. Then again, this behavior seems to be inheritable. Result: I am confused. Where is the problem? Is it my configuration, something with xorg, something with rxvt/aterm/wterm or something with sh/dc/...? How can I fix it, so that sh and dc will have the correct keyboard mapping also in aterm?

Re: disk write barriers
Matthias Buelow [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Now my question is: Does FreeBSD also implements these barriers, or an equivalent mechanism, as claimed on the above URL? Do you have a background in OS design? It affects the answer, because you seem to be referring to access barriers and disk cache flushes interchangeably, which doesn't make sense, especially on multiprocessor systems. If it does, why then the frequent advice to disable write-back caching? Or is that only for the couple drives that ignore any flush cache/disable wb commands? The problem with caching has nothing to do with flushing the cache; if you flush the cache often, there's no advantage to using it anyway. The whole speedup from using on-disk caching comes from the fact that the drive reorders the writes at will, and lies to the operating system by saying the writes are done when they aren't. Among other obvious problems, this negates the careful ordering calculated by softupdates. I know my drive doesn't ignore that command (since performance drops sharply, when I disable the cache), so I would be on the safe side. This doesn't follow. Just because you know that your drive supports disabling the cache does not mean that it is safe to do so. Would it be possible to get an authoritative statement from a FreeBSD developer here on that matter? Could depend on how much you're willing to pay them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Network Debugging
I'm trying to improve the performance of our rural homebrew wireless broadband and am hoping some of the folks here can give me a pointer or two as to what network monitoring tools I should use. Background: - my internet access is five wireless and five wired hops downstream from a 1/2 T1 (ten Buffalo AirStation G54 routers in all). - my connection has a lot of jitter--ping's usually vary from 10ms to 150ms within a two second window - FWIU, jitter is related to congestion - I have setup a FreeBSD box to monitor [1] each router along the path using smokeping. The smokeping charts are showing me some interesting stuff. Here is some data from the past three hours (I am using the smokeping default of 20 pings sent every five minutes): |- Building 1 --| |--- Bldg 0 --... +---+ ++ +---+ | .203 | | .202 | | .201 | | Router In |- wire -| Router Out |- wireless -| Router In | +---+ ++ +---+ avg RTT: 7.3ms 12.1ms 7.8ms % lost: 2.37% 14.25% 2.64% max RTT: 20ms 80ms13ms My FreeBSD box is a four more wireless hops to the left of .203. A slew of questions ... What is going on here? I am confused by the max RTT readings and packet loss stats for .202 and .201. How can a router further away from me have better performance? Over the past 13 hours, the averages are consistent with the three-hour averages, while the Max RTT discrepancies are even higher: .203 / .202 / .201 = 20ms / 145ms / 13ms. Is .202 congested? Is the .202 router bad? How can I debug this further? SNMP? If SNMP, what values should I track/inspect? - # of packets with errors? - # of queued packets? - ??

Thanks for the time taken to detail all of the steps. I think I am doing roughly the same thing except you are going via from _source_ to _intemediary_ back to _source_ once the RAID is sorted.

After quite a lot of reading I got round to following this article[1] using a VMWare FreeBsd instance. In brief the article uses dump and restore to move the data from one mounted partition to another in single user mode. It also suggests that before you do this, you perform a minimum install on the destination disk to ensure that it boots fine. First time round, I did the minimum install and then followed the steps (minus the MAKEDEV step as I'm running 5.3R) to backup the data to the destination. This all worked fine. Second time round, I didn't do a minimum install, rather I just set-up the slice and partitions on the destination using sysinstall, and then did the dump/restore. On booting from the destination disk this time, nothing happened. I reasoned that it was because I had no boot manager installed and so went ahead and used boot0cfg -B to install the FreeBsd boot manager. The disk now boots; however, I would prefer to use the equivalent of the 'Standard - Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)' option from sysinstall as FreeBsd is the only OS on the disk and so I don't need the option of booting to it or anything else. I'm guessing that I would use fdisk to do this but if so am not entirely sure how. In addition, is this safe to perform on a disk with data or would I need to go through the dump/restore process again? One final question is whether the dump/restore process is the best approach in this instance? I have read about using dd but am not entirely sure whether this would do what I need?

Re: disk write barriers
Lowell Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Do you have a background in OS design? It affects the answer, because you seem to be referring to access barriers and disk cache flushes interchangeably, which doesn't make sense, especially on multiprocessor systems. From what I understand from some googling, disk write barriers are specially crafted i/o requests (within the vfs/driver infrastructure) that are acted on by block drivers as following: all requests before a barrier request will be completed before any request that follows the barrier is executed. The driver accomplishes that by issuing the respective flush commands (or uses queue ordering or whatever is supported by the drive) or (in the case of IDE/SATA), may disable and reenable the cache on a barrier. Thus, the barrier maintains an on-disk ordering in requests between earlier and later requests (otherwise the driver and/or the disk could reorder writes at will). Since the system doesn't actually run with the cache disabled because it's only used for flushing at sequence points, neither performance nor drive wearout is negatively influenced (noticably, that is). An actual application of this is, with journaled filesystems, that the journal will get written to disk before the data is updated. This will guarantee filesystem integrity. From what I understand, MS Windows is doing it that way, and Linux is also using that mechanism (with support for SATA disks only in the latest 2.6 kernel, though.) The problem with caching has nothing to do with flushing the cache; if you flush the cache often, there's no advantage to using it anyway. The whole speedup from using on-disk caching comes from the fact that the drive reorders the writes at will, and lies to the operating system by saying the writes are done when they aren't. Among other Apparently, performance (and weartear) is not overly negatively influenced, since it's used only for periodic flushing after the journal has been written (or potentially, at other events, such as a sync() or fsync() etc.) obvious problems, this negates the careful ordering calculated by softupdates. That's where my headaches start. Softupdates doesn't write a journal at intervals but seems to order writes in general, in a continuous way. Therefore, it would appear that there are no such sequence points. I'm not really aware of the details of how softupdates works, so I'm probably wrong. I only know that running with the cache disabled seems to be the only safe way to assure that the ordering done by softupdates isn't broken. But disabling the cache is a no-no on modern drives, since they are constructed to be used with the cache on, and disabling it will yield terrible performance and significantly reduce the MTBF, at least on IDE/SATA drives (I'm not talking about enterprise-grade 15krpm SCSI drives, where the situation might be different). So what's the recommended procedure? Relying on an UPS or that the power will not fail? I mean, I could run fully asynch then and the whole softupdates is of little use, except for (relatively rare) occasions of a kernel crash. This doesn't follow. Just because you know that your drive supports disabling the cache does not mean that it is safe to do so. Why is that so? mkb. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xorg 6.8.2 Big Problems....
MY KEYBOARD DOSENT RESPOND Hi i have almost 1 month trying to run xorg, the problem is my keyboard, went i run test#startx X window system start, my mouse is working, but my keyboard dosent respond to anything. If i test the xorg config: test# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new The black and grey grid and an X mouse cursor appear, if i press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace my keyboard respond and send me back to my shell. Now, i have been testing with freebsd 5.3 and 5.4 release, i see that on both release we have xorg 6.8.2, and they are using the new driver kbd, i see that we have the choice to use the old driver keyboard, i change my x.org config file and the driver, but the same results no answer from my keyboard. Another thing, went i test my keyboard pressing different keys, went i kill my session with the mouse option Kill, i found all the time strange characters on my shell, example this are from today in the morning test: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name devhora:0 in remove command ^_^^ Ÿ9 ^_ž ^YŸ¹^^™9ž¦^\+^^:ºœ«ž ^\¹œ^NŽ^NŽ^]8^NŽ^NŽ^\œ^NŽ^\œ^NŽ^O^R œ^NŽ:º^O^R œ^NŽ:º:^O^R œ^NŽ:º:º^A;¼»à57EൕGÅÇNÎKOËÏà^\RSàœÓÒàMàPàKàÐàÍàËàOàQàSàÑàÏFàRÆàÒàÓ^[^Zloa d: 0.66 cmd: csh 479 [running] 0.15u 0.04s 0% 1944k ¹•!/load: 0.66 cmd: csh 479 [running] 0.15u 0.04s 0% 1944k ¯¡ 9¹ ¸devhora# devhora is the name of my computer.

I read my X log on /var/log/X.org.0.log but any errors appear. I have another system running freebsd 5.2.1-Release and the X system is working very well, on this system my keyboard is working, i see that here the xorg version is 6.8.2 and the xorg is not using the new driver kbd, we still using the old driver keyboard. Them, i was thinking that maybe my keyboard was the problem but went i test with 5.2.1 i see that is not, i think the new drivers is the problem. I have my xorg files, log, dmesg, if someone could help me how to fix this i will apreciate, i dont know if someone else has this problem right now with xorg 6.8.2, someone from this list say to me that after he change his system to 5 stable, his keyboard start to work, but, i am going to try to see if i can find the problem, iam not a guru but i can read the files. Thanks all for your time, i hope we can fix this little problem, if not i will test with 5 stable i send the results. I dont want this mail to be to long i only going to put my Xorg log from /var/log/, i someone need more information just ask for it, and i with pleasure send the info. greetings.

After installation, i used CVSup to get newest source [ src-all ]. Then i ran: 1) cd /usr/src 2) make buildworld it hanged up my PC.. i tried this several times, and it hangs up in different places, always on 'cc' command. Maybe it's something with my memory? Now i'm DLing release CDs, maybe it's something with net install, wrong packages, or something. Do i have to configure 'make' in some way before compiling anything? Everything seems to be ok, but it just don't work ;-) 1) check that you have sources. reinstall sources from CD or recvsup. 2) check that you have correct version of C compiler. Try compile simple C program. 3) do rm -fr /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OWIEC 4) then try second, and correct method i have sources, i tried to compile mc from ports, it's throwing 'no such file' errors, i removed OWIEC and tried second method - i had same errors That's wrong. You are trying to build just a kernel, before a userland has been compiled. Use make buildworld and make buildkernel, unless you know exactly what you are doing and why. Now i know :-) I tried to 'make buildworld', but it haged my PC, then i now - after install - i'll try some mem tests. In most cases i don't know exactly what i'm doing - i'm just learning. Hmmm. You haven't by any chance overwritten the system version of make(1) with GNU make, right? Nope. I did only the Devel without X-server install. Now and then. What do you see when you try to run the command: # make --version it returns: # make --version make: illegal option -- - usage: make blablabla I always had bad influence on Unix-like systems ;-) I tried many different Linux dists: from old RedHat, SuSe to Debian, Gentoo and Slack.. i always have problems ;-) But now i'm gonna be tough :-) TIA Piotr ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can I just double check that the editing of fstab is only applicable if my device names change? Correct. If the device will end up on the same controller and logical position (master, slave, whatever) then you do not need to edit it. However, if you plan to reboot the machine and just boot off the new disk without changing its position first, then edit fstab. You can always edit it back again before moving the hardware around. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Did we must put the mounted partition '/' and '/boot' in the same slice ?

I, at least, never used that much even. /dev/ad12s1a981527 122405 78060014%/ 1Gb just because it's peanuts to a 200Gb disk, and I don't bother with /tmp separately. For all the talk of the 1024 cylinder problem, I have never encountered it. I suspect that while it was true of older hardware, that it just isn't the case any more. If this is a problem, then it is just the / (root) partition that needs to start inside 1024 cylinders. Apart from that, my opinion is that having swap = 2.5 * memory is still a reasonable rule of thumb. You may never need it but a) it's a tiny fraction of your disk and b) if you expand your memory in the future you still have enough swap. You must have at least as much swap as physical memory. With 1Gb I put in 4Gb of swap, just because it's peanuts compared to a 200Gb disk. If I double my memory, I still have plenty of swap. /var depends on what this machine does. If it is a mailserver then 512M is inadequate, for a home machine it's probably plenty. If you ever need a crash dump from the kernel (and you may *never* need one, but if you do...) then you need as much free disk space as you have physical memory. There was a recent thread about disk sizing (maybe a month ago?) so try searching the archive.

Hello,
If you want to include the first two digits you have to remove the two
zeros from the pattern.
ruleno=`ipfw list | sed -n -e s/\([0-9]*\) $target/\1/p`
^^
This is because in the other pattern when the rule number does not start
with 00 then it will not be matched and nothing will be returned.
Explanation:
The 's' is the substitute command, '/' is the operand separator, the
'\(' and '\)' construct saves the text it matches in the register '\1',
'[0-9]*' matches any number of digits (even 0 of them), $target is
replaced with the contents of the shell variable. All of that is
replaced by just the text matched between '\(' and '\)'. The 'p' flag
causes the line (after substitution, that is, the text between '\(' and
'\)') to be printed (and assigned to ruleno).
Hope that helps.

Ale

Re: Minimum Install w/ X11 on Virtual PC
Hakim, You're pressing it a bit considering that X does use up a bit of resources, and considering that you have an additional system overlayed on top of Windows (I assume you are using XP), you will want to actually go out and get more RAM. You are unfortunately working with conditions which may become extremely laggy for you and will ultimately lead to less than desired performance. I know because I ran Windows XP on vmware, and having another Virtual machine running on your computer eats up a lot of resources, and hence decreases the peak usable performance of the system greatly. Either get at least 512 Mb Ram, or consider switching from Gnome/KDE to something doable like Fluxbox, FWM2, or XFCE since they don't use nearly as much memory as Gnome/KDE. -Garrett On Thu, 7 Jul 2005, Hakim Singhji wrote: Hi All, I am going to install FreeBSD 5.4 on MS Virtual PC.

One of the problems with portupgrade is that you rarely see the post-upgrade messages when you do batch upgrades. That's an easily solved problem. After you finish portupgrade, view the pkg-message file in any port you have a question about. E.g. % view /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/pkg-message Aha.

Re: Problems since 5.3-RELEASE-p15
If the problem is intermittent then I would suspect the hardware (I know, everyone always says that, but I really have used a brand new server which segfaulted randomly and it really was a memory problem). Try building a memtest86 CD from the ports (from a different machine perhaps) and running it for at least several hours, though it might not take that long. Your BIOS might also support extended memory tests (try disabling quick POST) though they are supposed to be less effective than memtest86. Ok, will try that. I run SETI so I think I'm constantly stressing the machine. But I'll give it a try. *If* there are intermittent memory errors, then it could be that SETI always happens to get them in the data it is dealing with, in which case it might run perfectly happily but just produce the wrong results. Memtest is dull, and stops you using your PC, but like Windows virus scans, it seems like a necessary evil in this case. I did the standard tests for 24 hours (21 passes) and it didn't fail. I ran the 90 minute fading one for 24 hours (8 runs) and it too didn't fail.

You can do so by adding the line console=comconsole to /boot/loader.conf or instruct the first stage loader to use serail console with the command 'echo -h /boot.config' For serial port configuration you may also want to have a look at the sysctl machdep.conspeed and to the /etc/make.conf option BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT and BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, both compile time variables.

RE: FreeBSD 5.4 and Sli 3114 sata controller broken?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan Jones Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 12:49 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD 5.4 and Sli 3114 sata controller broken? I have a Tyan s2882 mainboard with an integrated SLI 3114 SATA RAID controler on board. I have four 120gig sata drives attached to it. I can succefully build a RAID 0, 1 or 10 in the BIOS, but the created RAID dosent seem to show up in Freebsd. The drives get detected but I can only seem to use them as individual drives and not a raid array. I can successfully create a raid using ATA control but from what I understand that is a software RAID only. Anyone know what is going on? I cant seem to find any info on Sli 3114 support in freebsd. My guess is that you are going to have to wait for the mk III patches in the ata controller driver that are coming in 6.0. Those of us using the Intel ICH5 and ICH6 controllers (search for ICH6 in the mail archives for questions, hackers, and hardware) are in the same boat. To learn about mk III (or mk3) read Soren Schmidt's March progress report on the ata driver. Man ata shows that the SiI 3114 is supported, at least as a set of disks. -gayn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Its still in pretty great condition, but if I had to start screwing around with it, I might just get something else... Could something be overheating? I replaced the fans 6 months ago because it seemed a bearing was going. (And we found SO MUCH dust inside it that it wasn't cooling properly. Now that its clean, the fans even turn off at times!) Its happened on my lap, its happened on a glass table. Are you still getting random segfaults? Is there *any* pattern you can see? The only pattern I see is that it starts all of a sudden, goes for a little while, EVERYTHING you try to do fails, I get the /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: top: Shared object has no run-time symbol table type errors, and then all of a sudden it goes about its merry way. I'm not sure what a run-time symbol table is, and if it gets rebuilt at any time, or is something thats part of the program, or what But its not like one time it behaves one way, then another time it behaves another. I'd think if it was a memory issue, it'd be something other than the same Shared object... thing each time.

SSH and gigabit NICs
The setup: Both machines FreeBSD/i386 5.4 a) AMD64 machine with on-board Marvel Gigabit NIC b) Athlon XP with cheap SMC Gigabit NIC (also Marvel) Cabling is brand new Cat5e. Have tried various different cables of different lengths to no effect. To rule out problems with a cheap switch, I have just wired the NICs together. To benchmark, I had a huge bz2 file (430Mb) which I copied with scp and ftp from machine a to machine b. On cheap NetGear 100Mb cards, the transfers both took ~40 seconds which is ~80Mbit. On the new Gigabit hardware, ftp drops to 17 seconds, but scp takes longer! Out of the box (no tweaking of any relevant parameters) it now takes over 53 seconds. After tweaking tons of stuff, I can make scp take maybe 43 seconds, but at those settings, ftp takes well over a minute! What is going on? I know that 17 seconds for the ftp is hardly stellar (200+Mbit or so) but for £50 I could live with that. But for ssh to get slower just boggles. These days, almost anything you do over a network ends up using ssh -- specifically I was hoping to make rsyncs faster -- but for them to get slower? I've seen odd ssh network behaviour on other boxen. A couple old Linux servers were 2-3 times slower for ssh than ftp, but I put it down to oldness and Linux and general weirdness. They were on a 100Mbit network. When I monitor with systat -ifstat I can see ftp keeping up a reasonably regular transfer rate, but when I watch the ssh, it yoyos up and down wildly, but still never gets above about 80Mbit. Both machines have plenty of idle CPU and the ssh is not compressed. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? So far I have tried: HZ=1000 on both machines. No effect. various net.inet.tcp.recvspace and net.inet.tcp.recvspace values on both machines. About 4096 (down from the default of 32768) makes ssh work best, but stuffs ftp. 65536 improves ftp a bit but ssh goes up to 53 seconds (~64Mbit). MTU values of 5-9000. ~6000 the scp seems to start a bit faster (maybe 100Mbit) but soon drops back into the 60s. Before anyone asks, the driver doesn't seem to support polling. --Alex, baffled and really quite annoyed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PF firewall log problems
How can I change the default wait time for PF buffer writes to the log file? The log records are being held in the buffers for a long time before being written out.

My description would be hazy at best, so hopefully someone more au fait will chime in. But I can definitively state that, no it isn't something that gets rebuilt every so often. However, if you run ktrace on a simple program like ls: ktrace ls then do a kdump | less, you will see that after finding ls, /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is the first thing accessed. So, when things start working again, /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is magically fixed, which just makes no sense. I assume there are no other messages obvious errors in /var/log/messages? One final thought is that it could be the disk. You could try installing smartmontools and see if the disk thinks it is OK -- though of course it could be the controller. But in such a case I might expect other errors. I'd think if it was a memory issue, it'd be something other than the same Shared object... thing each time. One time it'd be a bus error, another time a this isn't executable, etc The classic bad memory symptoms are periodic reboots, and random segmentation faults. The latter is particular to bad memory, I would say. The fomer can have other causes. It's the intermittent nature of the fault that really makes me think hardware. Am I right in remembering that you upgraded to 5.4 and still had the same problems? --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
