RE: Problems with SCSI
David, That jumper they reference in the manual isn't clear to my reading what state it needs to be in. You may need to try both settings and see if it makes a difference. As for the additional messages that is to be sure you see output from the hardware tests which should list the SCSI controller and any devices connected to the controller, along with your other devices. These messages allow you to check the actual hardware setup, verify your BIOS settings. If changing the jumper, or pulling out any PCI cards in the slots mentioned in the manual with that jumper, you have me stumped. I'd suggest it may be time to contact the manufacturer or vendor and ask them if there is some secret to getting the SCSI working, or if they have a diagnostic utility to test the SCSI. You may just have a bad board. -Derek At 10:07 PM 3/4/2006, David LeCount wrote: This comes with OPTIONAL SCSI interface, u sure you got the board with the SCSI option ? Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If it doesn't, I want my money back. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813151149 How do you have the CD drive cabled? That motherboard has 68-pin SCSI connectors, and SCSI CD's mostly have 50-pin connectors, there are a few with 68-pin connectors, but it isn't common. It's not a CD drive, it's a hard drive. It is indeed a 68-pin. It's as simple as plugging it in. Do you have the CD terminated, and the SCSI on the motherboard's termination set correctly? There is a terminator at the end of the cable. If you're asking about something else, then I don't understand what you mean. You need to check a jumper on your motherboard, the jumper is: J92 This jumper effects the onboard SCSI. This is in the manual on page 13 It is open, which is the default. Enable the boot-time diagnostic screen, enable the summary screen as well, and check the boot device priority. If you have SCSI enabled correctly this will be a choice to boot from it. These are on page 54 I've done all that. The summary screen doesn't show any SCSI drives, although I don't think it showed my SATA drive either but it's definitely working. I couldn't tell what the diagnostic screen setting did but I enabled it. The boot priority list is actually an oddity It does list PCI SCSI but beside it it lists my SATA drive, not the SCSI drive. I am certain of this because it lists it as a Western Digital drive but my SCSI drive is a Hitachi. I am really confused why it lists the SATA drive under SCSI. When I disable SATA, it doesn't list a drive beside SCSI, although the option is still there in the boot priority list. I'm not sure what the deal with that is. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Help with lost MBR on USB HDD
Hi All, I have a dual boot system going with WinXP and FreeBSD on my laptop. Just before I installed FreeBSD I bought a USB HDD to plug in so I could transfer some files off my laptop's internal HDD and make space for it. Alas, even with doing that I could only get a measly 7 GB free, which I used up pretty quickly building the JRE for OpenOffice. When I got my USB HDD I split it into 4 x 60GB slices (partitions), changing one of them from the default NTFS to FAT32, so I could share it with FreeBSD. While the sharing was ok, unfortunately FAT32 doesn't support symlinks and this led to errors when I tried to use that slice for building stuff in ports. I decided I needed a native UFS2 slice instead of a FAT32 one and set to work. Firstly, I have Acronis PartitionExpert Personal and according to that, all the slices apparently existed (past tense!) in a single logical partition. I used the program to change my *THIRD* slice (between 120GB and 180GB) from existing in the logical partition to being a physical partition in its own right. Was this a bad move, not being at the end of the disk? Acronis never complained and it all seemed to work ok. I then proceeded to try to change its type from 7 (NTFS) to 165 (FreeBSD). Acronis said it needed to reboot to do this, you know that odd, special WinXP (safe?) mode? When it did so though it said my drive was not present. Was this because the USB drivers aren't loaded in that odd WinXP pseudo-DOS blocky character mode? Or was this because I had my USB drive on auto power-off and it took too long to windup? Anyway, whichever it may be, PartitionExpert said that it couldn't find the drive so it couldn't change the type. I then thought well surely if I can't do it under XP then I can do this under FreeBSD. I looked at the MBR under fdisk and it had 2 entries, one for the logical partition and one for the new physical partition I had setup with PartExp. I must admit I was more comfortable with the fdisk in sysinstall, since I had used that when installing FreeBSD, so I changed to that one. The display seemed a little odd because it had about 8 entries, my four 60 GB slices, plus four other very small slices between each 60GB slice. A couple were 63 in size, but the one just above the partition I wanted to change (da0s2) was 7 in size. I wrote down the lines around the partition I wanted to change, but didn't write the whole table out as it was rather long winded. Aerrr, bummer! Anyway, I changed the Type from 7 to 165. And that's ALL I did. I then Wrote the table out and exited. I went into the labelling tool (also in sysinstall) and set the slice as one big FreeBSD partition. The labelling tool automatically newfs'ed it for me, and things were good to go. Next I exited sysinstall and mounted my partition under FreeBSD. Everything was great. Past tense. When I next booted into WinXP a few minutes later, all my NTFS drives were gone. A quick look under Acronis told me only my FreeBSD slice remained. Ummm, so what had gone wrong? Any ideas? I went back into FreeBSD and had a look at the MBR under fdisk (the command line version this time) and now there was no entry 1, just an entry 2, pointing to the FreeBSD slice. So I had lost my 3 other slices, from 0 - 60 GB (NTFS), 60 - 120 GB (NTFS), and 180 GB - end_of_disk (FAT32). Can anyone please tell me what happened when I ran sysinstall's fdisk? Can anyone also perhaps tell me where the slice (partition) info is kept for a logical partition? Since the MBR only had 1 entry for the other 3 partitions their info is obviously not stored there. Where and how is it stored? And last but not least, I really hope someone can tell me how I can salvage my MBR other 3 partitions. If that is not possible, then perhaps you can point me in the direction of a tool which will salvage the files on the lost slices? There's not heaps of data there, only around 20 GB or so across all three. But if I can, I'd really like to get it back. I'm hoping NTFS is robust enough to allow salvaging like this? Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!!

Automating a FreeBSD 6.0 boot menu selection
Hi all, I have a HP DL-140 G2 server, that will only boot when I select FreeBSD Safe mode, option 3 on the boot loader menu. I have read through 'man loader' and 'man loader.conf' I have also had a read through the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file, but don't really see an option for this. Is there a way to auto select a menu option upon boot up? I am running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE, and have tried 6.0 RELEASE as well. Obviously it would be nice to have it start up normally, but there seems to be a problem reading the SATA drive in normal boot mode.

Now run cd /usr/src make _build-tools and show me the output please.

For example, typing sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] or fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED] in a Konqueror location bar will allow you to work with the remote system's files in Konqueror.

Re: Help with lost MBR on USB HDD
Jarrod O'Flaherty wrote: Hi All, I have a dual boot system going with WinXP and FreeBSD on my laptop. Just before I installed FreeBSD I bought a USB HDD to plug in so I could transfer some files off my laptop's internal HDD and make space for it. Alas, even with doing that I could only get a measly 7 GB free, which I used up pretty quickly building the JRE for OpenOffice. When I got my USB HDD I split it into 4 x 60GB slices (partitions), changing one of them from the default NTFS to FAT32, so I could share it with FreeBSD. While the sharing was ok, unfortunately FAT32 doesn't support symlinks and this led to errors when I tried to use that slice for building stuff in ports. I decided I needed a native UFS2 slice instead of a FAT32 one and set to work. Firstly, I have Acronis PartitionExpert Personal and according to that, all the slices apparently existed (past tense!) in a single logical partition. I used the program to change my *THIRD* slice (between 120GB and 180GB) from existing in the logical partition to being a physical partition in its own right. Was this a bad move, not being at the end of the disk? Acronis never complained and it all seemed to work ok. I then proceeded to try to change its type from 7 (NTFS) to 165 (FreeBSD). Acronis said it needed to reboot to do this, you know that odd, special WinXP (safe?) mode? When it did so though it said my drive was not present. Was this because the USB drivers aren't loaded in that odd WinXP pseudo-DOS blocky character mode? Or was this because I had my USB drive on auto power-off and it took too long to windup? Anyway, whichever it may be, PartitionExpert said that it couldn't find the drive so it couldn't change the type. I then thought well surely if I can't do it under XP then I can do this under FreeBSD. I looked at the MBR under fdisk and it had 2 entries, one for the logical partition and one for the new physical partition I had setup with PartExp. I must admit I was more comfortable with the fdisk in sysinstall, since I had used that when installing FreeBSD, so I changed to that one. The display seemed a little odd because it had about 8 entries, my four 60 GB slices, plus four other very small slices between each 60GB slice. A couple were 63 in size, but the one just above the partition I wanted to change (da0s2) was 7 in size. I wrote down the lines around the partition I wanted to change, but didn't write the whole table out as it was rather long winded. Aerrr, bummer! Anyway, I changed the Type from 7 to 165. And that's ALL I did. I then Wrote the table out and exited. I went into the labelling tool (also in sysinstall) and set the slice as one big FreeBSD partition. The labelling tool automatically newfs'ed it for me, and things were good to go. Next I exited sysinstall and mounted my partition under FreeBSD. Everything was great. Past tense. When I next booted into WinXP a few minutes later, all my NTFS drives were gone. A quick look under Acronis told me only my FreeBSD slice remained. Ummm, so what had gone wrong? Any ideas? I went back into FreeBSD and had a look at the MBR under fdisk (the command line version this time) and now there was no entry 1, just an entry 2, pointing to the FreeBSD slice. So I had lost my 3 other slices, from 0 - 60 GB (NTFS), 60 - 120 GB (NTFS), and 180 GB - end_of_disk (FAT32). Can anyone please tell me what happened when I ran sysinstall's fdisk? Can anyone also perhaps tell me where the slice (partition) info is kept for a logical partition? Since the MBR only had 1 entry for the other 3 partitions their info is obviously not stored there. Where and how is it stored? And last but not least, I really hope someone can tell me how I can salvage my MBR other 3 partitions. If that is not possible, then perhaps you can point me in the direction of a tool which will salvage the files on the lost slices? There's not heaps of data there, only around 20 GB or so across all three. But if I can, I'd really like to get it back. I'm hoping NTFS is robust enough to allow salvaging like this? Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!! Thankyou, Jarrod. I know you do not want to hear this, but why on earth did you attempt to mess with the HD without a full backup in place first? I am not sure if you can recover the lost data. If not, this would be a good time to wipe the disk clean and partition it to your liking.

I have found portmanager to be more intelligent. When you run it it takes a look at all installed ports and then it decides what order to upgrade the ports and their dependencies. Portupgrade proceeds linearly and you may need to run it a few more times for everything to be upgraded. At least that's how I understand it. But the -rR tells it to look at all of the dependancies and build them if they need to be. In addition, if something depends on it, it will also build them. I don't see any differance. Further, the assertion by [EMAIL PROTECTED] that portupgrade requires multiple passes is just plain false. I upgrade over 230 ports on my laptop with one command. may == requires ? Well, I just totally rebuilt all of the ports on my machine (330 to be exact) with just one command also: portmanager -u -f -l -y Obviously, I updated the ports tree prior to running that command.

The former. Is atapicam part of the base? Yes. I was under the impression it implements an abstracted SCSI interface over the ata device subsystem but maybe I'm not adequately understanding what's really happening. As the name suggests, it provides a CAM front-end to the devices, which is the same front-end used by the SCSI devices, so tools that expect to use CAM can work on the ATA devices too. Just an observation but it seems as though there is a great deal of use being made of the atapicam subsystem. I noticed for instance that in addition to /dev/cd0 that /dev/pass0 and /dev/da0 also did not show up until I rebuilt with atapicam or did I just miss them? The equivalent devices have different names under atapicam than ata, but why do you think they are necessary? Unless I'm wrong doesn't this mean that usb drives and those types of devices need the atapicam subsystem? I suspect you're wrong. Kris pgpZSkTkMS5Zd.pgp Description: PGP signature

umount/mount with HighPoint RocketRaid 1820A
Greetings. I am using a HighPoint RocketRAID 1820A controller with FreeBSD 6.0-RELENG and the hptmv driver. Six of the eight drives connected to the 1820A are in a RAID5 array. The other two drives are mounted as single devices, not part of any array. I am using these two drives as backup volumes. I can successfully umount one of the single drives, remove the drive, and insert a new drive: # umount /backup2 # from /var/log/messages: Mar 1 08:38:32 lance kernel: hptmv: Device removed: controller 1 channel 7 Mar 1 08:39:00 lance kernel: RR182x [0,7]: channel started successfully However, I cannot remount the new drive, even though it is already formatted: # mount -o rw -t ufs /dev/da2s1d /backup2 mount: /dev/da2s1d: Input/output error I then tried using fdisk and label from sysinstall, but neither let me write changes to the new drive.

I need to work with 15MB files (+/- 5MB). After buying the right disks, controller, mainboard etc. and lots of tuning with the help of iozone I get: 200 - 350MB/s overall (read, write, etc.) for files less then or equal to 64MB*. So anyways, that's what iozone can do for you. google it and you'll find out more stuff about it. Thanks for the info. I think I can only dream about numbers like like yours. Iozone looks to be in the ports so I see some of my weekend disappearing looking at it :-) It runs on over two dozen operating systems, including windows. Their are two primary reasons I can get such high transfer rates from simple SATA drives. The first one was the selection of the mainboard that had a PCI-X slots, I built this system before PCI-Express mainboards and controllers hit the market. The PCI bus is severely restricted and obsolete, I'm simply going to post the theoretical maximum throughput in MB/s for the various bus standards: f(x,y) = x-bits * y-MHz / 8 = maximum theoretical throughput in MB/s PCI: 32 bits * 33 Mhz / 8 = 132 MB/s (standard PCI bus found on every pc) PCI: (32bits, 66MHz) = 264MB/s (Cards are commonplace, mainboards aren't) PCI-X: (64, 33) = 264MB/s (obsolete, won't find it on new boards.) PCI-X: (64, 66) = 528MB/s (Commonplace.) PCI-X: (64, 100) = 800 PCI-X: (64, 133) = 1064 (Commonplace.) PCI-X: (64, 266) = 2128 PCI-X: (64, 533) = 4264 (very hard to find, even on high-end equipment.) PCI-X version 1 (66MHz - 133MHz) and PCI-X version 2 (266MHz - 533MHz). PCI-X is backwards compatible with PCI and slower versions of PCI-X, for example you can put a standard PCI card in a PCI-X 533MHz slot and it will simply run at (32, 33) similarly a 66 MHz PCI card will run at (32, 66) and so on and so forth. PCI-X is also forwards compatible in the fact that you can run a 133MHz PCI-X card in a standard (32, 33) PCI slot. Because of the backwards and an forwards compatibly I feel that PCI-X is superior to PCI-Express, *BUT* PCI-Express moving forwards is far far superior to PCI PCI-X because it does not have 13 years of legacy to remain compatible with, it's cheaper to produce, and it's already in lower-end desktop systems as a replacement for AGP thanks to all the gamers. A few years from now PCI will end up where ISA / EISA are. I'm veering way off topic so I will not go into anymore details about PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-Express. Google around for the shortcomings of PCI / PCI-X and why PCI-Express is the future. PCI-Express: PCIe is not compatible with PCI or PCI-X (except for PCIe to PCI bridging) and it's just, well, totally different from the PCI spec and I'm already way off topic so again just google the details. It's theoretical maximums are expressed in Gigabits per second but I will convert them to MB/s for comparison with PCI and PCI-X. x1: 2.5Gbps = 312.5MB/s x2: 625MB/s x4: 1250MB/s x8: 2500MB/s x12: 3750MB/s x16: 5000MB/s x32: 1MB/s Anyways back on topic, what was the topic? Oh yes, why you won't see 200MB/s - 350MB/s if your using a standard PCI slot. If you look back up all the way at the top you will see that the standard PCI bus is a crap shoot and that it's limited to a theoretical maximum of 132 MB/s. What this means is that your RAID controller and the disks attached to it and the cache buffers attached to the disks are all capped at that theoretical maximum of 132MB/s. Then you have to take into account that the PCI bus is shared with other devices such as the network card, video card, USB, etc. Your RAID controller has to fight will all these devices and a 1Gbit NIC card can eat up 125MB/s (12.5MB/s for a 100Mbit NIC). The next reason for those high gains is because I picked drives with 16MB cache buffers and that I'm insane enough to run a production server with the write-back cache policy enabled on the array controller and enabling the write cache on the disks. This is stupidly insane unless you've planned for the worsts. The worst case scenario would be that you corrupt the array into an unrepairable state and loose everything if you had a power failure. -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/

Admittedly, this is a subjective question where 'too often' means only 'more often than I remember with other *nix-like operating environments on even weaker machines'. Without some clue as to what the system is doing, IMHO it's difficult for anyone to speculate why you'd be swapping so much. FreeBSD uses all the memory it has because the designers know that free memory is wasted memory ... I don't know where that statement originated, but you'll hear it from FreeBSD programmers if you keep your ears open. One possibility is that you have actually configured **too much swap space** (Joshua Coombs, http://www.bsdnews.org/03/tuning.pdf). I'd also have to say that I'd consider this box to be a tad slow for a workstation unless your graphical environment was rather lightweight. I've tried GNOME2 on an AMD K6-2 475 with 128 MB and it just crawled. It's slightly better with XFCE, but to get much performance from a box like that I'd recommend black/fluxbox or something equally easy on the resources. If this isn't a graphical environment, then something *is* wrong, I'd think. Can anybody offer advice on memory management, appropriate places to read in the documentation, or other useful links?

I realize that the answer is 'it depends', so what I am asking is really * How can I find out if I change this annoying behavior for the better? Experiment? Add RAM; take away RAM; add more swap; take away some swap. Of course, not all of those could be called exactly 'trivial' to the system. * Would upgrading to 6.0 help? Possibly, but without knowing the cause it's hard to say for sure; IOW, no silver bullet there. This is an experimental box only.

Hmm, I wonder. 4.X to 5.X wasn't completely painless, (at least, you had to take some pains to get it right), so I might contest this. Any further discussion or speculation on this would place this posting in the political rather than technical realm, which I am loathe to do. For one reason or another, 6.X is out. 6.X is good. AFAIAC, 5.X was also good and 4.X was good too. I would recommend going up to 6.0 (or 6.1, But I have not yet tested it) Doing a fresh install would probably be in your best interest. The transition from 5.4 to 6.X is quite trivial; the only reason a fresh install might benefit is if the OP has too much swap and wants to configure less during slicing. It's also possible that doing a fresh install of 6.0 would fix the problem, but teach us nothing about the situation we'd hoped to learn from??

Hi, For testing purposes, I am trying to build a quite old (read slow) machine. It happens that every time I start a buildworld, I will have to leave before the end. And next morning the shell I was using to run the buildworld will have terminated for some reason. So I cannot see if the make did finished successfully or not. Is there a way to check that make buildworld did finished successfully? Sounds like you are ssh'ing in to the box and the ssh session is disconnected before morning? If so when you connect to the box run screen before you build world. Then in the morning you can reconnect to the same session after ssh'ing to the box with screen -rd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
question about upgrade
Hi, From the beginning, I just install the base distribution of FreeBSD 5.4, no other package like man, games, compat4x. After make buildworld installworld to Release 5.4 p12, it seems all of the world will be installed.( if I have a mistake, please tell me ! ) So, how can I upgrade the machine with just the distribution I installed before ?

It's not an appropriate default, since it modifies the way the ata subsystem works in ways the maintainer does not wish to support, Sorry, but do you mean the ata subsystem maintainer or the atapicam maintainer? The former. Is atapicam part of the base? Yes. I was under the impression it implements an abstracted SCSI interface over the ata device subsystem but maybe I'm not adequately understanding what's really happening. As the name suggests, it provides a CAM front-end to the devices, which is the same front-end used by the SCSI devices, so tools that expect to use CAM can work on the ATA devices too. Ah, ok -- CAM -- common access method. I'm getting this Just an observation but it seems as though there is a great deal of use being made of the atapicam subsystem. I noticed for instance that in addition to /dev/cd0 that /dev/pass0 and /dev/da0 also did not show up until I rebuilt with atapicam or did I just miss them? The equivalent devices have different names under atapicam than ata, but why do you think they are necessary? because I misunderstood what umass needed and I inappropriately generalized on the basis of one port (k3b) Unless I'm wrong doesn't this mean that usb drives and those types of devices need the atapicam subsystem? I suspect you're wrong. Kris Hi, Thanks Kris. Your suspicions were correct. I was wrong. I re-read the man pages for da, pass, and umass, and nowhere did it say I needed atapicam. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I rebooted with the GENERIC kernel, plugged in my usb memory device, and everything worked great. The k3b port required this and I suppose I generalized when I should not have.

I thought that meant OpenAFS was broken due to changes in FreeBSD, which has certainly happened in the past. But in re-reading those messages, it looks like the problem might have been specific to OpenAFS on FreeBSD/amd64. Since I am not running on AMD64 (yet...), I should take another look at the recent snapshots of OpenAFS on FreeBSD. I have been focused on the upcoming 1.4.1 release of OpenAFS, since that will include support for MacOS 10.4 (Tiger). The web pages for those release-candidates only have binary packages for MacOS 10 and Windows, and I must admit I didn't try them on FreeBSD.
