Not really anything against Intel here, just thought that the AMD might 
be worth looking at.  Just so much of what is available for purchase for 
either platform seems to have issues with hardware support.


Thanks for the feedback just the same.

 Mostly I'm worried about some of the proprietary stuff like Flash,

 Is anyone out there actively using the AMD64 processor as a desktop

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.

Hope that helps. :)

being malicious when they stole the article in question.

Also, why are you suggesting I'm litigious?  I didn't once make reference to
any lawsuit.

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.

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.

conver Linux shared libraries foo.so to FreeBSD shared libraries

2006-06-20 Thread Simeon Nifos
Does anybody know how to convert a shared object 
compiled in Linux foo-linux.so to a shared object 
compiled for FreeBSD freebsd-foo.so? I mean 
a freebsd-foo.so to which I can link with objects
compiled by a native FreeBSD compiler. Or 
equivalently how to create a FreeBSD foo.so from 
a linux foo.so which would be identical to that 
which would be compiled from source in FreeBSD?

Re: NFS Server and MS Windows

2006-06-20 Thread DSA - JCR


 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.

BTW, Not only assumes you are migrating to MS, but also says it is cheaper
MS world than UNIX world !!!  ;D

incredible !!!

Server crash by disconnecting nfs?

2006-06-20 Thread Norbert Klein

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.

Thanks

Re: NFS Server and MS Windows

2006-06-20 Thread DSA - JCR
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? NFS and Samba?

BTW, the last version of UFS (NFS of MS) is 3.5 of 2004. I don't know if
will fit correctly.

There is no reason you can't.

I run NFS between Unix machines and Samba with MS world.

But there could be strange results if on Xp machines connects to the
same file using both NFS and Samba at same time.

I would think that the hosting OS would know how to deal with both,  
since NFS mounts are treated no differently from Samba mounts  
superficially (each has their own separate drive letter, etc).


Cygwin also offers an NFS client if you want to look into that as  
well. SFU offers mount_nfs/nfsd for windows, which is basically  
unheard of using anything else.

Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?

2006-06-20 Thread Marc G. Fournier


... and is there anything we can do as a community to prevent it?

I've been a FreeBSD users since '94, and proud of it ... and have 
vehemently defended, all the way, my decision to use it vs 'the dark side' 
...


Although my above subject is a more general call, my big beef right now 
is with RAID controller vendors, but I don't believe that the problem is 
specific to them, so hopefully others will ring in ...


I've used several different controllers over the years ... Adaptec was my 
first love, but I've used Intel, 3Ware, and, more recently, HPs ... out of 
the lot, I'd have to say the least supported (HP) has turned out to be the 
more pleasurable one to use, since checking the status of the RAID array 
is the easiest:


# camcontrol devlist
COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME OK at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)

but, as an example, Intel used to be really nice, in that I could run the
storcon utility (under FreeBSD 4.x) that Intel provided on their web site 
to actually see the whole BIOS and view drives, etc ... it was a dream ... 
but it looks like they stop'd support for FreeBSD at 5.x :(


I just read a recent thread about monitoring RAID controllers on one of 
hte lists (this one?) where someone mentioned that Adaptec's Official 
stand is that they don't support storage management under FreeBSD ... but, 
in ports, we have the older aaccli interface, which I understand doesn't 
work with newer controllers ...


So, my question above, and a public call to -core, or anyone else:

  What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?

Its not enough anymore to know a piece of hardware *works* with FreeBSD, 
but more that the vendor is willing to acknowledge us as a market ... 
petitions don't do anything, IMHO ... it all falls to 'money talks' for 
most vendors (not all of them, but alot of them) ...


Is there anything we can do?

Re: USB-Serial ??

2006-06-20 Thread John Andrewartha

Hi Guy's and Girls,
Thanks for the advice.  I tried umodem, bur the driver could not put the 
device into asinc and failed. Exit 6.

As I had little time left I had to reload that other OS.
It appears the device make in the USA is one of those that you can set the 
power level softly, not allowed by FCC, ACA...

The windriver would I presume know how to switch the device.

Of surprise is the device and simular are fairly commen in North America.
The particular laptop is used for the childrens schooling.
We are doing a sailing cruse of the East Coast of AU,havent spotted Nemo 
yet, but the local whale population has kept us ammused.


Thanks for your support
John

Ekiga FreeBSD 6.0-REL

2006-06-20 Thread m . apitz


Hello,

I've successful ported Ekiga to my FreeBSD notebook from the
sources (version ekiga-2.0.2); maybe it is interesting for the
port-maintainer as well, because the port is marked as broken:

rebelion# make
===  ekiga-2.0.1_2 is marked as broken: Unknown component gnomedocutils.
rebelion#

there have been only a small external refs clashes in a header file
which I solved by un-defining some external symbols (of course this
is not the right way to solve this):

$ diff /usr/local/include/libintl.h /usr/local/include/libintl.h.orig
118d117
 #undef gettext
135d133
 #undef dgettext
154d151
 #undef dcgettext
236d232
 #undef textdomain
255d250
 #undef bindtextdomain
274d268
 #undef bind_textdomain_codeset

and a tweaking of the ./configure script because FreeBSD 6.0-REL
comes with an older version as port of the gnome-doc-utils:

$ diff configure configure.orig
2316c2316
   GDU_REQUIRED_VERSION=0.2.1
---
   GDU_REQUIRED_VERSION=0.3.2

but the 0.2.1 seems to work as well. Ekiga installs fine for the
rest and local audio-loop-back is working.

My main question is, what could I do for the video grabbing in
my notebook? Are there some external LAN based cams working with
Ekiga and plug-in's for them?

Thx

matthias

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.) On my system also work Adaptec freebsd_cli for 2820SA.

 No, ekiga is not currently broken.  The last update occured in
 april, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/ekiga/Makefile

I have exactly this port version because I fetched it as tar from
the FreeBSD server:

$ fgrep Makefile,v Makefile
# $FreeBSD: ports/net/ekiga/Makefile,v 1.60 2006/04/23 10:34:03 erwin Exp $
$ make
===  ekiga-2.0.1_2 is marked as broken: Unknown component gnomedocutils.

 I will try and update the port to ekiga 2.0.2 as you suggest.
 Thanks for reporting.

It turned out that there is as well the need for a tool called
'gnome-help-browser'; without this the online help does not work;
just running 'make install' in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 to see if I can
get this to work.

Thx for the feedbck

Why not just setup the mail/openwebmail port in a test-environment and 
go from there?


I would, personally, not call myself anything near knowledgeable in 
FreeBSD, but I have _never_ stumbled upon a piece of software which I 
had to spend more than a few hours to setup and get working properly 
with sane configuration, even if I had to read the documentation.


So, don't worry, OpenWebmail should be working fine in FreeBSD. Seing as 
this is an application which interacts with Apache, and not the OS 
itself, everything should be nearly the same as on a Linux system.

rcorder example?

2006-06-20 Thread B. Cook

Hello all,

I'm looking at what I think is the right answer.. but can't make sense 
of it..


basically I have a couple of mailservers that run exim and dnscache, all 
being called out of daemontools.


but I can't seem to figure out how to make svscan start first..

# PROVIDE: svscan
# REQUIRE: LOGIN

this is what is in the svscan.sh file ..

so um.. how does it work?

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


I also have another box with dansguardian and squid.. and dansguardian 
depends on squid but because d comes before s, dansguardian starts 
first, fails then squid starts.. and I've tried to use rcorder to fix 
that problem and can't seem to make that happen.

GEOM issue -- making changes to slices/partitions on used disk

2006-06-20 Thread John Fox
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!

Thank you,

John

 Hi,

 I intend to install FreeBSD 6.1, and I wonder which chipset you would
 recommend me for RAID 1? I need something rock-solid, of course...
 
 I'm running -STABLE on a P4C800-E.  I've never had a problem
 with the PDC20378.  Recently, I added two drives on the ICH5R
 with no issues.  A little benchmarking shows the ICH5R to be a little
 faster. 

Hi,

I wasn't as lucky as Doug with my ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe board, both with
the ICH5R and Promise RAID controller.

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?

Thanks for your time,

 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!!

postfix-script: fatal: Postfix integrity check failed!

2006-06-20 Thread User Gandalf


 Hello,

I recompiled my kernel today (to 6.1 p2) and today postfix exited with 
this error message in the log:


Jun 20 08:56:54 designaproduct postfix/postfix-script: fatal: Postfix 
integrity check failed!



Otherwise it is working fine (there are no problems with postfix, except 
that it exited once).

How can I find the root of the problem? :-)

Thanks,

  Laszlo

RE: Content filtering

2006-06-20 Thread Shawn Guillemette
I got Squid installed with squidGaurd. It appears to be working as I have
denied port 80 from the internal interface using IPFW and if the proxy is
not used internet no worky.. ;-)

I'm having troubles now figuring out how to get a good list of site to block
and where to put them. I have read something about a db being used and also
found a script that I can add to cron that will update the db list. 


I think a great deal of my confusion is related to my lack of understanding
how this squidGaurd works. I'm heading to the site yet again.. Thanks in
advance for any assistance. 

Thanks 
Shawn

Re: Suppressing permissions reset

Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 When doing a make buildkernel and make installkernel on FreeBSD
 4.11-RELEASE (on a Vmware box), I noticed the Makefile in /usr/src/etc,
 for one, tries to reset permissions on files taken from a series of *.dist

 way I can suppress said behavior? Like a Makefile parameter or something.

Not really.

 And would zero-ing out the *.dist files do the trick?

Yes.  I would recommend against doing that, though; it's a great
protection against shooting your security in the foot.  Just decide
what you want the permissions to be, and adjust the mtree(8)
specifications (those .dist files) accordingly.

scsi cdrom mounting problem

2006-06-20 Thread Denny White

-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

Unable to build Sendmail with LDAP

2006-06-20 Thread Duane Whitty
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. 

Here is what I am currently running.

I first went through the compilation routine using my usual

well, except for Sendmail.

Pre 6.1 the scripts in the local rc.d directory are all sourced from the same 
rcng script in dictionary order. You can change the ordering either by moving 
them to /etc/rc.d (if they comply with the rcng conventions), or by renaming.

In 6.1 (onwards) local rcng scripts are integrated into rcorder. Those that 
aren't rcng are sourced in the traditional manner.

ppp not starting at boot

2006-06-20 Thread Michael P. Soulier
Hey people,

I had a power failure today (there goes my uptime) that lasted longer than my
UPS, and when the box came back up, my PPPoE connection did not.

# Enable PPPoE
ppp_enable=YES
ppp_mode=ddial
ppp_nat=YES
ppp_profile=storm

Is this not correct? Should this not cause ppp to be started, using the
storm profile, at boot?

I had to do it manually via

ppp -ddial storm

Thanks,
Mike

I installed cvsd and cvsdadm. Is that all I need to install and
configure?

I read at (http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/) that cvsd is a wrapper
program for cvs in pserver mode. So does that
mean I need to install cvs seperately?

Is there a how-to anywhere that I can refer?


Thanks,
Rakesh

RE: Fwd: Serious breach of copyright -- First post

2006-06-20 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

David,

  I am a published author many times over with more commercial
copyrights on material than I believe you will ever have, and I
know much of copyright law, as any author does.

  I am requesting that you kindly blow this out your ass.

  In any infringement case it is the responsibility of the
copyright holder to take infringement action against the infringer.
It is not your responsibility as wannabe gadfly to attempt to
insert yourself into this.  This is between the author - which
you have identified as Brett - and the infringer - which you
have identified as houfug.org.  Not yourself - unless you are
indentifying yourself as copyright holder or infringer.

  As the other poster said this has nothing to do with the list
and you need to drop it.  I am sure Brett is thankful that you
have identified an infringement against his copyright.  Once you
have done so it is time for you to step aside and let Brett decide
what he wants to do about it.  If Brett does not take the kind of action
against the infringer that you wish, and the infringer does not
respond in a fashion you wish, then that is too bad and
you may kindly butt out.

Ted

You can run sysinstall without doing an install.
If you really want to extract the source directly with tar, it's been
explained on this list a number of times over the years.

Or get more up-to-date sources by cvsup, as someone else suggested.


Or even better install the source from the CD then cvsup, save a lot of

Everything I've tested runs slower in 64-bit mode
(mainly because of kernel clunkiness), so if you
don't need the long pointers you might want to
re-think your proposed adventure. I believe that
since everything is bigger in 64-bit mode, things
fall out of the cpu cache a lot faster, and there
is a significant different in performance in and
out of the cache.

Re: AMD64 Desktop Support

2006-06-20 Thread Michael Collette

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,

Re: Serious breach of copyright -- First post

2006-06-20 Thread Jim Stapleton

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.

Thank you,

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

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.

Its not illegal or libelous to dictate an

I tried the AMD64 version some time ago. 

Unfortunately I have to use Win'XP sometimes and an ext2 filesystem with
the right Windows driver enables me to share files between XP and
FreeBSD.

For me 'Problem Report amd64/69704 : ext2/ext3 unstable in amd64' was
the reason to switch back to the 32 bits version of FreeBSD again as it
locked up every time I wrote or read a ext2 filesystem.

Hi.

I don't normally back up DVDs so I'm not sure the best software to do
that. I did a quick ports search and multimedia/lxdvdrip looks nice,
and may do exactly what you want all in one program.

As for dvdauthor crashing, I would guess it's because you're not giving
it the right format for a DVD. AVI files can't go to DVD, you need to
convert it to MPEG-2 PS and the proper specifications. For this, I use
a GTK+ program called Avidemux2 (it's in multimedia/avidemux2), although
ffmpeg or mencoder should work also. Here are my steps for an AVI file
to DVD: 

1) Avidemux to video DVD. Set aspect ratios in Configure and set
DVD Res in the Filters area. If the audio is not already AC3 (check
from the A/V information button on the toolbar), set audio to FFM
AC3. Set output format at bottom to MPEG PS A+V. Save the video
filename.mpg. This one is the longest step, the other two are quite a
bit shorter.

2) Take outputted mpeg file and run it through dvdauthor: 

dvdauthor --video=ntsc+16:9+720xfull -t -f filename.mpg -o output

3) Burn the authored DVD with dvd+rw tools: 

growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/cd0 output

For a simple backup though I'd check out lxdvdrip or search through
ports to see if there is a faster solution. I don't see much sense in
going from DVD to AVI then back to DVD when you can just rip directly
from the DVD and burn it back. I provided that info for when you
want to author your own videos though. :)

Hope that helps.

You know, I did try dvdrip (forgot to mention it) but I found it to be
geared toward VCD and burning to a CD-R instead of DVDs.  I didn't
even see lxdvdrip.  The pkg-descr does look like it could be the exact
thing I am looking for and will try it out.

If I were to follow your steps about for a DVD copy, I assume VOB copy
or something similar to produce the mpeg would be substituted in step
1, correct?  Though this would not handle DVD9 to single DVD5
(compressed video), I might need to rethink that scenario...

Thanks for the pointers though.

RAID online capacity expansion

2006-06-20 Thread Josh Endries

Hello,

Has anyone out there successfully done an online expansion of a RAID 
array in FreeBSD? How is it done and with what hardware did it work? 
From what I can gather, it's not possible. Aside from the fact that 
fdisk(8) says Editing an existing slice will most likely result in the 
loss of all data in that slice, growfs(8) says it cannot enlarge a 
mounted filesystem. disklabel seems to be okay with making live changes, 
but I haven't tested it.


Is there any way to do this in FreeBSD or is Linux+LVM the way to go?

Thanks,
Josh

Have you got any other drives you can attach to the raid?

If so, disconnect the 8 drives connected, connect up a couple that are
not part of the raid and configure them as a simple raid 1 and see if
the installers sees that raid. 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.


Is it difficult to make drivers (such as the qlogic isp driver) handle 
2TB devices?

If you install FreeBSD 6.1 then you can choose between a generic kernel

GENERIC and SMP. If you missed that point you can install it

 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?

Re: Creating DVD Movies

 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...

...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.
