Harry, ACPI throttling is closely system-dependent. FreeBSD does its best at arriving at the right values. I recommend you should look into sources for complete answers. By the way, you have forgot to mention the version [like 6.0] of FreeBSD you are actually running on your laptop.

The drives I've dealt with seem to have a bit of nvram somewhere that when you set it to region 1 the first time that you play a DVD in it, a flag is set in that nvram. The patches appear to make the DVD drive ignore the setting of that flag, as a result it seems immaterial what you have done with the drive pre-patch.

Since I think it's illegal to do this in the first place I would say be happy they exist at all. ;-) I doubt something like this would be written for FreeBSD. It's massive overkill for nothing because once the DVD drive firmware is patched to ignore region codes, you never have to patch it again.

NFS connection dropping
Hello, I've been trying to do rsync backups of my local FreeBSD system to a firewire drive that is mounted on an OSX machine and shared to my FBSD box via nfs over gigabit copper. I have done backups before to this same firewire drive, on these same systems, over nfs with tar and had no problems. I can't figure out why its not working now. The Mac is a G4 running OSX 10.2.8 and is the NFS server. The firewire drive is plugged into this machine and is named BackupDrive. I activate the nfs sharing on this machine for this drive by running the commands: /usr/sbin/portmap /usr/sbin/mountd /sbin/nfsd -t -u -n 6 The drive is configured in NetInfo Manager as: name /Volumes/BackupDrive clients 192.168.4.1 opts mapall=root All power saving and disk spindown features have been turned off in System Preferences. The FreeBSD machine is an x86 box running 4.10-RELEASE-p5. I mount the BackupDrive to the local mount point /mnt/misc via the command: mount 192.168.4.200:/Volumes/BackupDrive /mnt/misc All power-saving features are disabled on this box as well - it is a server. I then run rsync on the FBSD box to backup a local disk to the mounted nfs disk. Everything works great for about 5-10 minutes, and then the rsync freezes and issues the message: nfs server 192.168.4.200:/Volumes/BackupDrive: not responding The rsync shell is frozen. I try to do df in another shell, but the df simply hangs. I've tried killall for nfsd, mountd, portmap, nfsiod, and df on both machines as unsuccessful attempts to try to get the FBSD shells to un-hang. The only way I have found to un-hang the shells is to reboot the FBSD box. During this freeze time, I can access the firewire drive on the Mac with no problems - it is only FBSD that is frozen. I have tried to re-serve the drive via nfs, but the FBSD box does not reconnect to it automagically. I've tried reading Google and everywhere else I can think of - does anyone have any tips or ideas on what might be causing the timeout?

Re: ng_one2many v.s. AFT (NIC Fault Tolerance/Fail Over/Redundancy Revisited)
Brian, Thanks for this excellent stream of thoughts, it is a lot like what I am trying to accomplish...Please see my comments and questions in-line: On Oct 15, 2005, at 7:25 PM, Brian A. Seklecki wrote: Re: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005- October/100623.html First: This is all very preliminary from some testing over the weekend. Dell's reponse was that Intel's AFT/ALB was entirely software based. That left me with few options: 1) Try userland layer 3 failover (ugly) 2) Use ng_one2many However, ng_one2many only permits for two algorithms: NG_ONE2MANY_XMIT_ROUNDROBIN and NG_ONE2MANY_XMIT_ALL. However, none of these meet the need: - Round-Robin results in 50% packet loss if a hook/interface is lost (not acceptable in any mission critical environment). - Xmit-All causes twice as much load on to be placed on the switch / fabric and switch CPU. jonathan As of Freebsd 6_0 (which is at RC1 now), the NG_ONE2MANY does support the failure of a link which does not end up with 50% packet loss. There is new code in the One2Many module that xmits a layer 2 I'm alive broadcast out all links, as long as this is picked up on the other links, then all interfaces are considered alive. If one of the packets is not received, then after 2 x heartbeat duration that link is considered down. I have tested this in the 6.0 code and it works with one caveat. When the server is brought up, both interfaces must be connected and live, or for some reason, the failure algorithm never seems to kick in. I saw exactly what you saw in 5.4 and newer with regards to the 50% packet loss./ jonathan What ng_one2many needs is a Active-Standy XMIT algorithm (STP BOFH's will think BLOCKING/FORWARDING). It could even be used on top of other NetGraph nodes like ng_fec or possibly (hopefully) ng_802.3ad :} jonathan I agree /jonathan Essentially, a single layer 3 IP address needs to be visible in a switch fault tolerant or adapter fault tolerant configuration. A userland-level daemon could be scripted, and it has been done before: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-isp/2003-November/ 001314.html So when a fail-over occurs, the layer IP 3 address moves from one layer 2 MAC address to another layer 2 MAC address on the same machine (and same subnet, same ethernet segment, just a different interface). TCP sockets should not be affected due to layer abstraction. This got me thinking about HSRP/VRRP. That protocol is designed strictly to move a layer 3 address between two different hosts. Excellent applications are Router/Firewall and VPN concentrator, as OpenBSD's carp(4) has implemented with the help of pfsync. I was experimenting with the OpenBSD variant and I realized that client hosts weren't seeing the usual warnings about MAC address changes. As of 3.7, OpenBSD's CARP shares a virtual MAC address between the hosts, Cisco's HSRP does not. jonathan Will CARP work between two interfaces on the same server? I always thought it was positioned for two separate devices. If it did work on the one server, the only down side I can really see is having to have 3 ip addresses for each 1 real address you want. Also, there might be some issues with getting this to work with Jails / jonathan Then I was thinking about the OpenBSD/NetBSD bridge(4) interface. If the host acting as the bridge wishes too, it can participate in the bridged networks by assigning a layer 3 address. The address isn't ifconfig(8)'d do the bridge0 interface. Instead, it's assigned to the first interface included in the bridge[0-9], say fxp0. Further more, regardless of what network segment/port a host participating in a bridge(4)'d network resides, the ARP'd IP address of the OpenBSD/NetBSD host is persistently the MAC first physical interface ifconfig(8)'d with the IP. Plus OpenBSD/NetBSD bridge(4) supports 802.1d spanning tree :} This is important. Spanning Tree as an alogirth could provide Intel AFT Fault Tolerance intelligence if the persistent layer2 address of a host was unchanged with the NIC interface change. The function of STP is to provide a loop free path to every layer2 MAC in a segment. But a STP enabled bridge(4) with an IP address assigned has a persistent MAC address associated with a layer 3 address! jonathan We tried the NG_bridge option with 5.4, and while it did seem to work, it's failover was a bit slower than we would have liked, and there were some other quirks we saw in NG_bridge, but I should go back to look at the built-in bridge function. The other issue I see here is that we will have 6 servers connected this way, and if we have a link failure, what will happen to the rest during STP convergence.../jonathan Therefore, the solution has been there all along. The attached diagram explains in greater detail.

But now I'd like to make it available to a user
or group of users through mtools. To do this I need
to change the permissions on /dev/da0s1 where the

automatically using /etc/usbd.conf by adding the lines:
device RunDisk
vendor 0x0ef5

attach sleep 1; /bin/chmod g+rw /dev/da[0-9]*
giving members of the operator group access.
But this changes permissions on all da[0-9] devices.
I know the man pages suggest ${DEVICENAME} to obtain the
particular device but this doesn't work here because usbd
sees the device as umass0 which doesn't appear in /dev/*.
For the moment this is the only device I have appearing
in the da* group so the problem is not immediate/urgent.
But is there some way I can extract the specific da*
device name to use in the attach statement or is there some
way I can make the flash drive always pop up at a specific
da name.
I've also taken a look at devd.conf but the documentation
here seems somewhat sparse.
You consideration is appreciated,

Hello Malcolm
I don't know anything about mtools but you can check this link
regarding user mounting of 'da*' devices. Also have a look at
'man devfs.rules' and 'man devfs.conf'
I don't actally find devfs.rules or devfs.conf in the man pages;
(perhaps these are an addition in STABLE or 6.0) however
devfs(5) and devfs(8) and the files themselves shed some light
on the matter. While the information seems a bit sketchy in parts
I think it will get me somewhere near where I want to be.
Thanks for your time and assistance,

On FreeBSD running nagios server, (dunno about Linux) From

from ports if you don't have them already. For disk is check_disk or
check_local_disk, I don't have it in front of me right now. from
there you can do in your config file.:
check_command check_local_disk
check_command check_tcp!25 --will monitor your SMTP service OR
check_command check_SMTP
Read the Nagios docs for syntax on choosing a disk slice and setting
the alert threshold.

Does anyone know if (a) either of those units play nice with FreeBSD? or (b) if there are other tape backup solutions available? Thanks for any insight. Have you considered an external USB2.0 hard drive? I love my Maxtor One Touch. On nextag.com I see a 300GB for $218 USD at Newegg. It may be worth rethinking your backup and archiving strategies. (I use removable hard drives for archiving, but that's another story...) Ditto the recommendation of hard drives. I suppose there are times when you need tape (archiving?), but hard drives are very cheap now.

If you are making a DVD player and want a license to descramble CSS, you have to sign that you also implement the user restrictions. If you descramble CSS without license (like mplayer does), you don't have to. However, most DVD rom manufacturers that I have seen go ahead and implement the user restrictions that the MPAA wants (ie: region codes) anyway, even on bare drives sold primariarly for data useage. AFAIK all manufactures signed the agreement to get the CSS license. I don't know one modern DVD drive, which doesn't support CSS. But if the software doesn't play along, the user restrictions don't work. If you watch DVDs with mplayer and transcode with mencoder you don't have to care which restrictions your drive supports in theory.

I was just wondering, if there is a tool available under freeBSD to change the region code of a DVD Drive or at least a tool which gives you the current region code of the drive. Is it necessary for xine, ogle, and totem to have a region code set? Sorry, but you exceeded the max number of DVD region changes hardware-wise, where you cannot change your region since it is something built into the firmware and software in your OS. I don't think so, he just hasn't set the Region Code yet. Region Code 0 is the factory default.

If at all, I'll probably just install some network monitoring tools. I'm placing all of these roles on a single system because it is only for my lab. I have a 160 GB to use and I'm thinking about laying out the partitions as follows: Part Size / 10G - for both the / and /usr files (swap) 2G /var 10G - Web server, print spool, other log files?? /var/mail 10G - for all mail files and easy backup /home 50G - for all user files /home/teo 40G - For my files and easy backup *The rest of the space I'll leave unused in case I need to grow a partition I'm new to FreeBSD/*Nix so all criticism is welcome. You can only grow a partition if there is empty space contiguous with that partition. So, rather than leave chunks of empty space between each partition just in case, I would just make one large partition at the end and then move things that get too big there and symlink them. The major considerations with partition size are a small root to make it easier for recoveries if there is a problem and to increase the probability of being able to do a minimal (single user) boot if there are problems, enough swap space, keeping things that might grow uncontrollably isolated from critical stuff such as root and nowdays, /usr and the final one is breaking things up in to chunks that suit your backup scheme/media. jerry It should work fine.

I am running FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE.
I recently aquired a 256M USB flash drive

But now I'd like to make it available to a user
or group of users through mtools. To do this I need
to change the permissions on /dev/da0s1 where the
flash drive msdos partition appears. This I can make happen
automatically using /etc/usbd.conf by adding the lines:
device RunDisk
vendor 0x0ef5
product 0x2366
attach sleep 1; /bin/chmod g+rw /dev/da[0-9]*
giving members of the operator group access.
But this changes permissions on all da[0-9] devices.
I know the man pages suggest ${DEVICENAME} to obtain the
particular device but this doesn't work here because usbd
sees the device as umass0 which doesn't appear in /dev/*.
For the moment this is the only device I have appearing
in the da* group so the problem is not immediate/urgent.
But is there some way I can extract the specific da*
device name to use in the attach statement or is there some
way I can make the flash drive always pop up at a specific
da name.
I've also taken a look at devd.conf but the documentation
here seems somewhat sparse.
You consideration is appreciated,
Malcolm Kay
Hello Malcolm
I don't know anything about mtools but you can check this link
regarding user mounting of 'da*' devices. Also have a look at
'man devfs.rules' and 'man devfs.conf'
I don't actally find devfs.rules or devfs.conf in the man pages;
(perhaps these are an addition in STABLE or 6.0) however
devfs(5) and devfs(8) and the files themselves shed some light
on the matter. While the information seems a bit sketchy in parts
I think it will get me somewhere near where I want to be.
Mea Culpa. I have 2 boxes running 6 RC1 and 2 running 5.4 P7. The man
pages are only on the 6 RC1 systems.
I also could not get a display from the man pages on the web site.
Thanks for your time and assistance,
You are welcome.

Seems like one year from vi to being deployed at Berkeley to a completely different video editor being deployed on a completely different os in the schools that I used this in seems fast. So I did some digging. vi started in about 1976[1] as a project that grew out of the frustration taht a 200 line Pascal program was too big for the system to handle. These are based on recollections of Bill Joy in 1984. It appears that starting in 1972 Carl Mikkelson added screen editing features to TECO[2]. In 1974 Richard Stallman added macros to TECO. I don't know if Carl's work was the first, but it pre-dates the vi efforts. Other editors may have influanced Carl. Who knows.

portupgrade shows all the rest of my ports are up to date.
All of this is on 5.4-STABLE circa 10/1/05.
Offhand, I can't follow all of the ghostscript logic, so you might try
adding WITHOUT_GHOSTSCRIPT.
Also, it might be an indirect dependency. Is one of the other

Multi-tape backup with dump
I've been backing up a filesystem with dump -0auL -b 60 -C 32 -f /dev/sa0 /share on an amd64 box to a 100G LTO drive (dmesg below). It works fine (*) as long as the filesystem fits on one tape. However, dump wedges when I put in a new tape. When I check with top, typically two dump processes chew up as much cpu as they can, sometimes only one and sometimes all three. DUMP: 59.07% done, finished in 1:16 at Mon Oct 17 13:32:53 2005 DUMP: End of tape detected DUMP: Closing /dev/sa0 DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume #2 DUMP: Is the new volume mounted and ready to go?: (yes or no) yes DUMP: Volume 2 begins with blocks from inode 10477547 It will sit like that indefinitely. The tape doesn't move (I can't hear it and mt says the same thing). mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl status at this point: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x40 variable 00x1 -available modes- 0:0x40 variable 00x1 1:0x40 variable 00x1 2:0x40 variable 00x1 3:0x40 variable 00x1 - Current Driver State: at rest. - File Number: 0 Record Number: 1Residual Count 0 If I do a ctrl-c, dump stops chewing up the cpu and politely asks me if I want to abort the dump. Is there some trick to doing multi-tape backups? It doesn't seem to matter if I use the button on the tape drive or mt offline to swap out the tape (I should hope it doesn't matter). I've tried generic kernels built locally, GENERIC from snapshots, and (for the particular dmesg below) a custom kernel. No difference... Given that it takes a few hours to fill a tape, mucking with this is a bit tedious. The most interesting thing I've found is that setting the tape size explicitly *does* work (although I've only tried forcing small tape sizes). The system I have now is from a make buildworld/make buildkernel from yesterday, but I've never had a multi-tape backup work (going back many months of tracking -current). Until now, it has always been faster to clean up some files and do the backup again rather than reading through things carefully to see what I've been doing wrong. Until now, anwyay, and I'm not finding anything in the docs. Anybody have any ideas? I hope I'm just missing something stupid somewhere...? Thanks.

port config questions
Hi Q1 To celebrate upgrading my desktop box to 6.0RC1 I am also upgrading all my ports with portmanager. Before I ran portmanager I deleted all my distfiles and ran portupgrade -arRfF to fetch a brand new set (I had far too many stale ones). I notice that for example all the mplayer skins distfiles have been downloaded despite /var/db/ports/mplayer/options saying WITHOUT_SKIN_...=true for most of them. Is there some way to make portupgrade respect config files in /var/db/ports/? Q2 Can I tell portupgrade to go through the configs of all the ports it is going to upgrade so that I can set them all in one go and then let portupgrade (or portmanager) get on with things unattended? If not would this be a useful addition to portupgrade functionality? I would like to include options that are in Makefiles as well as 'make config' menus.

Personally, I would run: portsclean -C -D -L -PP Then, if anything is still in the /usr/ports/distfiles directory, you could just remove them manually. Then run 'portmanager -u' to finish the job. Obviously, run cvsup tp update your ports immediately prior to running either portmanager or portsupdate. The advantage with portmanager is that it does not need an index file.

I've tried doing something like pkg_add -rn xxx but it starts fetching the package. I've looked in all the manuals but found nothing that helps. How can I get the dependencies list of a package before downloading it? Any help appreciated According to man ports, there are targets for this: pretty-print-run-depends-list, pretty-print-build-depends-list So, to explain in more precise terms: 1. Change to the directory of the desired port you wish to install. # cd /usr/ports/security/nmap 2. Use the target as the argument to the make(1) command: # make pretty-print-run-depends-list ... and you get a listing of runtime dependencies for the port: This port requires package(s) pcre-6.4 to run It may be worth noting that make search in the /usr/ports directory also has this information: # cd /usr/ports make search name=nmap Port: nmap-3.93 Path: /usr/ports/security/nmap Info: Port scanning utility for large networks Maint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] B-deps: gettext-0.14.5 gmake-3.80_2 libiconv-1.9.2_1 pcre-6.4 R-deps: pcre-6.4 WWW:http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ---Kevin Kinsey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RC 6.0RC1 Install, USB keyboard not working/supported?
On version 5.1 of Freebsd when I installed it I had to choose the boot with USB keyboard option. I installed 6.0 RC1 last night and no option came for me, so it just booted up and the computer basically froze at the install screen with no keyboard support, is there a way around this? I had the same problem about two years ago with a USB keyboard and I thought this might be fixed by now! Anyways, after plugging in a ps2 mouse from another computer I got FreeBSD 6.0 installed, that was all good. Now when I boot up, NEITHER keyboard works! It recognises my USB one and says it's a logitech and everything butit just doesn't work. The PS2 one give s bit more hope in that I can press enter at the boot screen where it counts down ten seconds or something but after that it doesn't work, I cannot log in on the console. My mouse works perfectly though! Does anyone know how to a) Install Freebsd 6.0 with a USB keyboard b) Get my PS2 one working (and why the heck it would have just stopped working...)
