Not really anything against Intel here, just thought that the AMD might be worth looking at.

I'm now in the market to slap together a new PC I've started with looking at picking up an AMD64 based system. After Googling around for a while I still have some concerns I haven't been able to address. Probably just not looking the right places. Mostly I'm worried about some of the proprietary stuff like Flash, Acrobat, nVidia Drivers, Java, and the like not working. Is anyone out there actively using the AMD64 processor as a desktop machine? Are any of these 32-bit apps going to prove to be a show stopper for me? The alternative appears to be the P4 with all the motherboards I've seen using audio devices that aren't supported. Still, I'd rather buy an old sound card and have all the software at least functional. Any advice out there? Thanks, Hi. I'm using an Athlon64 3000+ (and the amd64 version of FreeBSD) as my main workstation. I also have another workstation with the same CPU running the i386 version. Here's my opinions: Flash - The 32 bit Linux binary of Flash 7 works in linux-firefox or linux-opera fine in i386 or amd64. The 32 bit Linux version of Flash 6 works somewhat with linuxpluginwrapper and the native Firefox on the i386 version of FreeBSD, although I've found it to be somewhat unstable and crashed quite a bit. There's also a project Gnash that is an open source Flash player, but I have not tried that one yet. Acrobat - The Linux binary of Acrobat 7 works for sure in the i386 version of FreeBSD. I have not tested it on my amd64 one (I just use xpdf), but the port's Makefile says it works and I don't see why it would have a problem. nVidia Drivers - Work great in the i386 version of FreeBSD. Does not work on the amd64 version yet ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41545 ). Java - Got it to work on i386 version of FreeBSD (interfacing with browser not attempted, just for OpenOffice), but have not needed to or attempted on my amd64 box. I'm not sure if it's even possible for amd64 or not (as the Makefile I looked at shows only for i386), but someone else will know. For my purposes, there really isn't much that the amd64 version cannot do that the i386 version can. I would like the nVidia driver to work since I have a decent video card, but the Flash and Java I don't really care about much anymore. I use the native Firefox compiled from ports for my browsing and just fire up linux-opera whenever I need to see a Flash site. Me personally, I prefer AMD hardware over Intel and would get the Athlon64 regardless of if I run in i386 or amd64 mode FreeBSD. However, be sure to check your AMD64 hardware against the compatibility list before buying. I had to buy a replacement motherboard real quickly one day after one failed and I didn't fully check out the list before buying. When I got it, it turns out the onboard NIC and sound didn't work with FreeBSD in i386 or amd64 mode. I already had a NIC and sound card ready to go from the previous machine, but now both PCI slots on the Micro-ATX motherboard are taken and unfortunately I can't put in a SCSI card. The amd64 motherboard list is here. Note that amd64 in this case means the hardware itself and not the OS version, so if it's not listed here then the i386 version probably will not work either with that hardware (I found that out the hard way): http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html For sound cards, I have found the Sound Blaster stuff to work well with FreeBSD so far. I'm running an Augidy 2 Platinum in my main machine and it works better than on Windows (had tons of skipping problems that never could be solved -- thought it was a bad card but moving to FreeBSD eliminated them). The cheaper SB LIVE cards work too, and some of my machines have onboard which work great also.

Re: NFS Server and MS Windows
I am mounting a NFS server (FreeBSD 6.1 amd64) for a MS Windows Network for a customer and I see that I can not see the NFS server from windows boxes. Must I install Samba for that? or anything in the MS Windows boxes? I thougth that Windows understand NFS but seems to be not. I've never actually done this, but I read about it because it is something I want to do, at least temporarily, as I migrate from Windows to FreeBSD. (Ironically all the Microsft documentation on the subject assumes you are migrating the other way!) However, I think you need to search Microsoft's site, and look up how to install their 'Client for NFS' (or 'Gateway for NFS' depending on your network) I have read it and downloaded, but it seems to be something obsolete (v. 3.5 is from 2004) and I suspect they hasn't made nothing new.

Server crash by disconnecting nfs?
Some days ago we had a strange reboot of one of our production servers. After closing the nfs-connection to our FreeBSD machine the FreeBSD machine produced a core dump and booted. Though we are not quite sure if the disconnection was the actual cause of the core dump we know at least that both things happened within the same time frame of about 15 minutes. Now we would like to know the reason why the machine crashed (it was running without problems since months) We looked into the dump file, but we can't really understand the information displayed there. Can someone give us some hints how to find out what happened.

Re: NFS Server and MS Windows
HI all and thanks for your answers My main goal is to have a system in which the local network can get access to the file repository, and also thay can get access from their homes to them (only get a file from server, work on it, and post it to the server). For this reason I thougth in NFS only and FTP for remote access. As the pc clients runs on Windows XP, they are ingeniers and have programs for MS, I think I must install Samba, but NFS is (I think) stronger than Samba in protecting files. Can I have the two?

Re[2]: Please help - adaptec 2820sa not allowing installation
Hello. Ensel Sharon wrote: I did all my due diligence, I contacted freebsd-fs and _made sure_ that even though the 2820sa is not listed by name in the HCL, that I could take a 6.1-RELEASE cd and install freebsd on a 2820sa. I was _assured_ that these cards are supported in 6.1-RELEASE, that all is well, and I could install and that was that. No, you were not assured, at least not by when we discussed this last week. I told you that I personally did not guarantee that it worked, only that I had heard reports that it did. You have two variables here. One is that it's an array that is larger than what the aac driver has supported in the past. Second is that it's RAID-6. Both of these variables should be handled by the aac driver update that happened last year, but again, I couldn't validate it, so I can only go with the reports of others. As others suggested, you need to experiment with simplier configurations. This will help us identify the cause and hopefully implement a fix. No one is asking you to throw away money or resources. Since you've already done the simple test with a single drive, could you do the following two tests: 1. RAID-5, full size (whatever 2TB value you were talking about). 2. RAID-6, 2TB. From there, I'll figure out what needs to be done to get it fully working for you. I have Adaptec 2820SA on my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE. But it work in RAID-10 mode. I was build RAID-5, RAID-6, but FreeBSD (5.3, 5.4, 6.0, 6.1 don't see this raid drive.)

I understand what it is supposed to do from the man page.. but I can't figure out how to actually tweak/tune it..

GEOM issue -- making changes to slices/partitions on used disk
This happened on a FreeBSD 6.0 machine. Installed a SCSI drive on the machine -- drive had been used for testing previously and had an ext2 FS on it. I was able to use the sysinstall fdisk utility to remove the ext2fs partition and create a FreeBSD slice that utilized the entire disk. Then I loaded up the sysinstall disklabel utility, setup my partitions and when I went to write my changes, recieved an error about being unable to mount these new partitions -- said mount point did not exist. I decided I'd just try it again, so I exited sysinstall and restarted it. In the disklabel tool, I added only a swap partition. Swap partition was created without a problem. Exited sysinstall, restarted it to add the other new partitions. I could not write anything, however, as whenever I attempted to do so, I got the error message ERROR: Unable to write data to disk da1. I decided I'd remove the slice and start fresh, however when I attempted to write this change, I again got an error message stating that data could not be written. At this point I did some research, and it seems that the issue is related to GEOM not allowing alteration of MBR/slices/partitions on used devices, and that the solution is to set sysctl knob kern.geom.debugflags=16 (Found it on this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/e7db21985d1b1cc3/3113b6502c5450ef?lnk=stq=freebsd+sysinstall+fdisk+ERROR%3A+Unable+to+write+data+to+diskrnum=4hl=en#3113b6502c5450ef) Also on this thread is a word of caution, stating that use of this sysctl knob has been known to result in dev entries getting confused and blowing away the wrong partition -- which would obviously be quite undesirable. This seems like a rather clunky solution, and the posts in the cited thread are two years old, so I am wondering if there's another way to go now, or if the bugs are now worked out and it's safe to use this sysctl knob. One more thing to note: the posts in the thread mention 5.x specifically, but the behavior certainly seems to match that encountered on my 6.0 box. Any thoughts or input are quite appreciated!

Does anyone successfully use another ASUS board, and is able to rebuild the array, without rebooting? Few things I noticed about the on-board Promise chipset on ASUS that it is very poorly designed. If you do the unplug/replug test, it most likely won't work, you need to use a spare drive or re-format the drive and then replug it. It also goes out of sync very often, so you want to make sure you're running consistency checks at least once a month. Sometimes when one of the RAID-1 drives develops bad sectors, the whole array won't boot until you unplug one of the drives, and plug a spare one. My conclusion, if you need something stable, don't use the onboard raid, get a RAID card even the cheap ones will do better job!!

scsi cdrom mounting problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was having the problem before upgrading from 5.4 to 5.5, and now, after the upgrade, the problem persists. Now and then, I can find a cd that'll mount, but most won't. Have tried the ones that won't mount on this obsd box with atapi instead of scsi no problems. Googled around and searched the archives for the error messages, but didn't find anything to help so far. Read the man page on camcontrol and the warning about using it, so checking with the list before I do anything else. I did find one thing through google about the scsi delay sometimes needing to be increased, and I made that change in my kernconf before recompiling, but it didn't help. Tried booting with kernel.debug just to see what would happen, and it went smoothly, but this time there was no error message in dmesg, except that it said there was no medium present, which wasn't true. There was disk 1 of fbsd 5.5 install in the drive. When I try to mount a cd, I get `cd9660: /dev/cd: Input/output error' or sometimes, `device not configured'. Another thing that confuses me is, I thought in /dev, besides cd0, that there would be devices like on my obsd box, i.e., cd0a, cd0c, rcd0a, rcd0c, and so forth. The only cd entry in my fbsd /dev is cd0. I read some on MAKEDEV and saw that in fbsd 5, it's deprecated, replaced by devfs. I thought maybe somehow, from some of my earlier upgrades, that I had screwed up something with devices being created. Below is some info I've gotten that I hoped would help.

I did find one thing through google about the scsi delay sometimes needing to be increased, and I made that change in my kernconf before recompiling, but it didn't help. Tried booting with kernel.debug just to see what would happen, and it went smoothly, but this time there was no error message in dmesg, except that it said there was no medium present, which wasn't true. There was disk 1 of fbsd 5.5 install in the drive. When I try to mount a cd, I get `cd9660: /dev/cd: Input/output error' or sometimes, `device not configured'. Another thing that confuses me is, I thought in /dev, besides cd0, that there would be devices like on my obsd box, i.e., cd0a, cd0c, rcd0a, rcd0c, and so forth. The only cd entry in my fbsd /dev is cd0. I read some on MAKEDEV and saw that in fbsd 5, it's deprecated, replaced by devfs. I thought maybe somehow, from some of my earlier upgrades, that I had screwed up something with devices being created. Below is some info I've gotten that I hoped would help.

Unable to build Sendmail with LDAP
Hi, I am currently unable to rebuild Sendmail with LDAP support. Unfortunately I am not sure what broke it; it could be my upgrade from OpenLDAP 2.2.30 to 2.3.24 or my upgrade from OpenSSL 0.9.8a to 0.9.8b. Foolishly, I did both at the same time without testing after each one. I do know it is not because of the recent Sendmail patch nor because of a change in 6-STABLE. As well, I am able to build Sendmail if I eliminate LDAP support.

Re: AMD64 Desktop Support
Mark Kane wrote: Hi. I'm using an Athlon64 3000+ (and the amd64 version of FreeBSD) as my main workstation. I also have another workstation with the same CPU running the i386 version. Here's my opinions: Flash - The 32 bit Linux binary of Flash 7 works in linux-firefox or linux-opera fine in i386 or amd64. The 32 bit Linux version of Flash 6 works somewhat with linuxpluginwrapper and the native Firefox on the i386 version of FreeBSD, although I've found it to be somewhat unstable and crashed quite a bit. There's also a project Gnash that is an open source Flash player, but I have not tried that one yet. Acrobat - The Linux binary of Acrobat 7 works for sure in the i386 version of FreeBSD. I have not tested it on my amd64 one (I just use xpdf), but the port's Makefile says it works and I don't see why it would have a problem. nVidia Drivers - Work great in the i386 version of FreeBSD. Does not work on the amd64 version yet ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41545 ). Java - Got it to work on i386 version of FreeBSD (interfacing with browser not attempted, just for OpenOffice), but have not needed to or attempted on my amd64 box. I'm not sure if it's even possible for amd64 or not (as the Makefile I looked at shows only for i386), but someone else will know. For my purposes, there really isn't much that the amd64 version cannot do that the i386 version can. I would like the nVidia driver to work since I have a decent video card, but the Flash and Java I don't really care about much anymore. I use the native Firefox compiled from ports for my browsing and just fire up linux-opera whenever I need to see a Flash site. Unfortunately, those items are pretty important to me. Kind of the point of the mail. I appreciate the feedback, and I am aware of some of the work arounds you mentioned. I use JEdit daily, as well as a couple of other Java apps. The nVidia driver thing stinks too. I had that running on my PC before the crash, and really liked it. Me personally, I prefer AMD hardware over Intel and would get the Athlon64 regardless of if I run in i386 or amd64 mode FreeBSD. I don't have any bias towards either company. My focus is spending my money on what will actually work. Starting to feel like I'll be looking at the Pentium-D processors. I've got a laptop with a dual core Pentium and it works pretty sweet. However, be sure to check your AMD64 hardware against the compatibility list before buying. I had to buy a replacement motherboard real quickly one day after one failed and I didn't fully check out the list before buying. When I got it, it turns out the onboard NIC and sound didn't work with FreeBSD in i386 or amd64 mode. I already had a NIC and sound card ready to go from the previous machine, but now both PCI slots on the Micro-ATX motherboard are taken and unfortunately I can't put in a SCSI card. I've been looking over spec pages like crazy for various motherboards, with particular attention on network and audio. The amd64 motherboard list is here. Note that amd64 in this case means the hardware itself and not the OS version, so if it's not listed here then the i386 version probably will not work either with that hardware (I found that out the hard way): http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html For sound cards, I have found the Sound Blaster stuff to work well with FreeBSD so far. I'm running an Augidy 2 Platinum in my main machine and it works better than on Windows (had tons of skipping problems that never could be solved -- thought it was a bad card but moving to FreeBSD eliminated them). The cheaper SB LIVE cards work too, and some of my machines have onboard which work great also. Hope that helps. :) Any and all feedback is appreciated. For as nice as the AMD64 processor may be, sounds like things are a ways off before the software has fully caught up. Thanks, -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

Re: Serious breach of copyright -- First post
Mr. Hoffman, I'm surprised this hasn't been said, and I'm probably overstepping my bounds by saying this, but I've been following this topic, and I have trouble seeing it as anything but trolling. The freeBSD groups have always been excessively helpful and friendly, and you've done alot to insult and antagonize them due to the actions of *ONE* local group, that is not even related to the general groups you posted this too. These people on the general freebsd have a nice group without the trolling and antagonizing seen all over other similar groups. Please be more considerate and respectful with your claims and requests so that their forums can stay that way. 3) While you might want to refer to me as a name-caller, litigious, and puerile, it's far from clear that FreeBSD doesn't have political ties when the leaders of FreeBSD groups actively campaign for partially restricting people's ability to communicate in any language but English. Even if you ignored these extracuricular activities, though, you'd still be faced with the fact that FreeBSD is de jure politicized in favor of many things, including free software. Interesting you put this here, from a previous post: I'm not directly attacking your group. If you're not political, and I'm arguing against something political, how could I possibly be 'attacking' your group? These two in conjunction, both from you, technically count as libel I believe, you are making comments towards a group, such as calling them biggots, and then saying you know it's not true. Also, calling someone something, when they are not is still offensive: If I called you a rabid dog, obviously a false statement, I am sure you would be offended. Also, as to the prohibiting people from communicating in languages other than english, partially or otherwise, I'm sorry, but... A 3/4ths blind guy who is impatient and doesn't like spending time searching for things can find mailing lists for DOZENS of of languages... Look harder. Now each of these /IS/ language specific - but that makes sense, the idea here is COMMUNICATION. Ich kann auf Deutch sprechen, aber hier Ich kann nicht auf Deutch Verbindung stehen. In english, I can speak in German, but I cannot communicate in German here - most here (not all) don't speak it. I wouldn't go to a German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Portugese, etc. etc. etc. mailing list and expect them to respond to me in English, or be anything but offended at my arrogance of posting there in English. 4) Discussions of copyright seem appropriate for freebsd-standard, since any reputable organization that publishes material with computers today makes a good faith effort to ensure they do not violate any copyright. It is therefore a de facto standard. But all groups at once? Just because they all fit the topic, doesn't change the fact that you are willingly and wontonly breaking the rule. Interestingly enough, I do agree with your first point that the copyright needed to be taken care of, but you could have handled this infinetly more effectively.

Please be more considerate and respectful with your claims and requests so that their forums can stay that way. 3) While you might want to refer to me as a name-caller, litigious, and puerile, it's far from clear that FreeBSD doesn't have political ties when the leaders of FreeBSD groups actively campaign for partially restricting people's ability to communicate in any language but English. Even if you ignored these extracuricular activities, though, you'd still be faced with the fact that FreeBSD is de jure politicized in favor of many things, including free software. Interesting you put this here, from a previous post: I'm not directly attacking your group. If you're not political, and I'm arguing against something political, how could I possibly be 'attacking' your group? These two in conjunction, both from you, technically count as libel I believe, you are making comments towards a group, such as calling them biggots, and then saying you know it's not true. Also, calling someone something, when they are not is still offensive: If I called you a rabid dog, obviously a false statement, I am sure you would be offended. Also, as to the prohibiting people from communicating in languages other than english, partially or otherwise, I'm sorry, but... A 3/4ths blind guy who is impatient and doesn't like spending time searching for things can find mailing lists for DOZENS of of languages... Look harder.

Or try any combination in drives to bring the raid size down below 2TB (I'm sure this limitation has been fixed.) Ok, the answer is that it has not been fixed. 6.1 sysinstall does in fact see both 2820sa controllers, and when I put in a single 160GB sata drive, it does see that single drive and I can install onto it, etc. Sysinstall does _not_ see my 2.7TB raid6 array. I suspect that if it were smaller than 2TB, it would see it correctly. I have a number of options with which to deal with this, all of which involve either wasting money or wasting disk space. Fantastic. Right - FreeBSD doesn't recognize 2TB LUNs. Wrong on several counts. First, the AAC driver does not present arrays to the system as SCSI LUNs. The traditional 2TB limit with 12 byte CDB issue simply doesn't exist with this driver. Second, the FreeBSD SCSI layer knows how to issue 16 byte CDBs to access 2TB, assuming that the target understands the 16-byte protocol. So no, there is no 2TB limit inherent to FreeBSD. The only limit is with individual drivers and with hardware. Scott Scott, thanks for correcting me on this. I was under the (false) impression that this was a FreeBSD SCSI issue, not a driver issue. I had tried this with QLogic fiber (fabric) storage in the past, and had issues, so I incorrectly thought that the information I had was true.

I've only compiled the SMP kernel on the AMD64 architecture, but I did not have to edit any source files. I added options SMP to the GENERIC kernel and compiled with no problems.

Re: smp kernel
Michael P. Soulier schrieb: Hello, Is SMP enabled in the GENERIC kernel? I have a hyperthreading box, and on Linux it shows up with two cpus. When I do a top on the box in FreeBSD I still see only one CPU. Also, sysctl -a | grep cpu only shows a dev.cpu.0. If you install FreeBSD 6.1 then you can choose between a generic kernel without SMP support and an SMP enabled kernel. These kernels are named GENERIC and SMP. If you missed that point you can install it subsequently: # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/6.1-RELEASE/kernels # ./install SMP # echo 'kernel=SMP' /boot/loader.conf # shutdown -r now Regards Björn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ICH5R, ICH7R or Promise PDC20378 RAID?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1) With the Promise controller, after simulating a disk problem (shutdown - disk disconnection - reboot - shutdown - disk reconnection - reboot), I wasn't able to rebuild the array at all, either with atacontrol rebuild ar0 or from the bios. I suspect a spare disk is necessary for a complete rebuild. 2) With the ICH5R controller, installation went fine too. If I disconnect a disk, the system still boots, but when I plug the disk back (computer shut down), no boot is possible anymore. At boot, a kernel panic says: softdep_setup_inomapdep. No array rebuild is possible from the bios, so I'm stuck. I use freebsd 6.1 RELEASE, with the latest BIOS for the motherboard, and 2 SATA 1.0 Western Digital 160GB disks. I'm trying to configure RAID 1. I'm surprised I have so many problems. Am I doing anything wrong? With INTEL hardware controllers for SCSI disks, I never had any problems until now. Does anyone successfully use another ASUS board, and is able to rebuild the array, without rebooting? Few things I noticed about the on-board Promise chipset on ASUS that it is very poorly designed. If you do the unplug/replug test, it most likely won't work, you need to use a spare drive or re-format the drive and then replug it. It also goes out of sync very often, so you want to make sure you're running consistency checks at least once a month. Sometimes when one of the RAID-1 drives develops bad sectors, the whole array won't boot until you unplug one of the drives, and plug a spare one. My conclusion, if you need something stable, don't use the onboard raid, get a RAID card even the cheap ones will do better job!! Hi, Thanks for the confirmation the onboard controller is not the way to go... What reliable and good raid controller would you recommend for a simple RAID 1 in SATA? --- Philippe Lang Attik System ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Creating DVD Movies
On Tuesday 20 June 2006 19:48, Derrick Ryalls wrote: Greetings, i was wondering if anyone had a good tool recommendation for creating DVD movies with FreeBSD. Since I have a child growing up, it is appealing to me to make a copy of their favorite DVD and burn it so they can handle the copy, not the original (legal to make backup copies). I also was thinking it could be handy to author my own dvds, but that might not be for a while. So far, I can use mplayer to get the DVD to an avi file, but I can't find anything to get it back onto a dvd. I have tried dvdauthor, but the app kept crashing. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? What you need is tovid. (/usr/ports/multimedia/tovid). This link... http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/511457.html ...gives some very basic instructions, but read the manpages for all the nifty options. It's three steps from avi to dvd. 1) tovid converts the avi to mpeg, 2) makexml produces an xml script to feed into makedvd and 3) makedvd splits the mpeg into all the TS_VIDEO/VOBs and whatnots and can leave with with either a raw directory structure, an ISO file, or burn it straight to dvd for you.
