I hope FreeBSD driver recongnise it's metadata format... I've not used such a RAID so perhaps some specific action with atacontrol is required. I see at least two problems: 1.

Changing the metadata format between BIOS updates seems pretty scummy and obviously if FreeBSD expects one format and you have some other format, it won't work :-( However, I believe the sil3112 has problems beyond this and is just a bad controller.

IMAP crashing on message move

ATAPICAM in the FreeBSD manual
Hi. In the FreeBSD manual on '17.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver', it only talks about rebuilding the kernel with device atapicam. I think it should mention that it actually is possible to just add 'atapicam_load=YES' to /boot/loader.conf. Perhaps I have missed or overlooked something and in that case just ignore my message, but otherwise I think it would improve the manual. I for one just rebuild the kernel the other day just to enable the ATAPI/CAM driver, but had I known it could be loaded from loader.conf, I wouldn't have rebuild it.

GCC binary format output
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
I'm porting FreeBSD to Gentoo for the Summer of Code project
Gentoo/FreeBSD for Amd64, and I need a little help about gcc binary
output when compiling files.
I compiled by hand GCC, and when I compile some file the output format
is UNIX - System V. I got this with `readelf -h program`. The
problem is that I need the default binary output must be UNIX -
FreeBSD and for now I can't fix it without help.
BTW, If the output is UNIX - System V I can't run static compiled
files, it shall be fixed changing the output behaviour. For example
with the following small C program:
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf(it works!\n);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # gcc -static test.c -o test
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # readelf -h test | grep OS/ABI
OS/ABI:UNIX - System V
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ./test
ELF binary type 0 not known.
- - -su: ./test: cannot execute binary file
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ #
I asked before in gcc-help mailing list but they point to ask here
too. I also provide two links [1] and [2] with previous discussion
about this.

Re: Tape drive options and suggestions

The ideal would be: * LTO-3 * Works with Bacula or similar and 6.x * Autochanger * Ability to handle 30-40 heterogeneous servers of varying size I have only had one LTO to work with so far in FreeBSD - an HP 350 - and have been very happy with it. It is quite fast and we haven't had any reliability problems yet. We have also had good experiences with DLT, though it seems to not be quite as fast. But it has been reliable. Here at the Commputer Center the main backup media is AIT and that has been quite reliable, but I haven't had any speed comparison with the others, nor have we had it on any FreeBSD system. Of course, DAT is cheapest, but it has reliability and functionality Problems. We have had a lot of failures on any level DAT at or above DDS-3. It also seems to get weird and need to be completely shut down with all power off the system (eg unplugged from the wall and even the Ethernet connection) occasionally for a few minutes to force it to reset. This has occurred on several models, but not all units. All suggestions and comments are appreciated and welcome. So, LTO seems a good choice, followed by DLT. As for software packages, I don't know of any I am happy with. I end up writing my own scripts using dump.It is a little clumsey but I don't have to jump through artifical and irrelevant hoops that the package maker thought up just to make things look big and important. jerry Thanks in advance, Reuben A.

Boot hangs at /bin/sh?, can't see USB keyboard

But when I bang on the USB keyboard, FreeBSD doesn't hear the keys. I recall that previous boot menus offered a boot with USB keyboard option, but this is no longer on my FreeBSD-6.1 version built from cvsup a couple months back. Any suggestions how to get it to see the USB keyboard in the boot? This Dell box doesn't have a non-USB keyboard input. If not, any suggestions on how to get it to boot to a point where I could fix the /etc/fstab? Only thing I can think of is burn a bootable FreeBSD disk, boot from it, then mount the hard drive and fix fstab from that.

Installing Oracle Client 10g on FreeBSD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE and I want to run a current Oracle client-only with encryption support. First, I installed the Oracle client port, which represents Oracle 7. But my database support person tells me that's quite old and, in fact, he couldn't be sure it would work (especially the encryption part) with the Oracle database I'd be using (which he helps support). And I was getting some strange symptoms when I tested it. So, he recommended that I download the Oracle 10g Client for Linux. Since my FreeBSD system is configured for Linux compatibility, I'm hoping this will work. However, I can't even get the Installer to complete! It keeps telling me that I may not have enough space in my root partition, even though I'm not trying to install into the root partition. (The partition in which I'm installing has lots of space). In addition, I should say that the machine on which this Oracle client will be installed is not running X Windows. This means I can't use the installation menus, so I've been running the Installation tool with a 'response file'. The response file, however, doesn't have much flexibility. In particular, when I'm told I may not have enough space, it asks me if I want to continue, but there's no way for me to reply 'yes' from the response file. In any case, based on the installation logs, it really looks like the Installation tool is looking at the root partition for how much space is available. I've found in the FreeBSD handbook an article on installing Oracle 8.0. But it appears that there have been changes with 10g. Also, those instructions seem to assume a server install, so they talk about setting some shared memory values and other things that may not apply to me anyway. Do I have any other options? I don't want to install the full Oracle package (client and server), just the client, so that I can write some perl scripts to query a remote Oracle database. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Boot hangs at /bin/sh?, can't see USB keyboard
In response to Chris Shenton [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a borked entry in my /etc/fstab: the box can't find /dev/da4s1 or something at boot. So it hangs at boot asking me if I want to use /bin/sh in single user mode. But when I bang on the USB keyboard, FreeBSD doesn't hear the keys. I recall that previous boot menus offered a boot with USB keyboard option, but this is no longer on my FreeBSD-6.1 version built from cvsup a couple months back. Any suggestions how to get it to see the USB keyboard in the boot? This Dell box doesn't have a non-USB keyboard input. We have a number of Dell servers here. The availability of the USB keyboard is heavily dependent on a number of things: BIOS settings and the exact hardware model are two of them. On some Dells, there is a BIOS option to boot with USB legacy support (or some similar wording) or without USB support at all. Having the correct setting is pivotal to getting the USB keyboard to work. The correct setting varies from model to model. What fun. Additionally, sometimes escaping the boot loader and setting hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 is still required on some hardware (even with 6.1). The exact combination is achieved by trial and error. I suggest making a little matrix and trying all possible combinations until you find the one that works. If not, any suggestions on how to get it to boot to a point where I could fix the /etc/fstab? Only thing I can think of is burn a bootable FreeBSD disk, boot from it, then mount the hard drive and fix fstab from that. That might be faster ... get a FreeSBIE disk. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Musicpd problems
Hi list, I've installed The Music Player Daemon (MPD) from the ports (audio/musicpd). I have a nice configuration file [1] in /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf, but, when I run: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/musipd.sh start [or stop, or restart, whatever] its not doing anything. I've copied the config file in ~/.mpdconf and then tryed to run mpd --create-db. It created a database, but, when I run ncmpc --port 2100 (or any other client) I'm getting: error [13]: problems connecting to localhost on port 2100 Then, I've added mpd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf, and rebooted.

net.link.ether.inet.useloopback
Heya, I would like to make packets destined for an IP address bound to a network card Get dropped onto the wire so I can do some QoS on it. I found the the following sysctl variable But am unsure about what it does. I cannot find any documentation on it. net.link.ether.inet.useloopback It is currently set to 1, so enabled. I had a comment from someone that the kernel uses the loopback interface to Pass packets destined for itself (not nessasarly just the 127.0.0.0/8 network), maybe this will stop the kernel from performing this action and drop it onto the wire the ip address is bound to.

I've enabled cups, and in trying to add the printer I only get a small list of printer drivers and canon isn't one of them . . . . . . how do I get cups to use the gimp-print drivers ? ? ? TIA Pete C You have to build gimp-print with the WITH_CUPS=yes knob set, otherwise it doesn't add itself properly to cups.

RE: how to update sources?
Thanks a lot for your reply, Jaime! But you know, this PC is single machine with FreeBSD. I think it'll be good choice to update source if I can download it from web-site as tar archive (for example, like ports tree).

But this computer not connected to Internet and I don't have possibility to download new image. Also there is no way to connect it to Internet in the future. How I can do it? Could you take a removable HD to another FreeBSD box that has an Internet connection? If so, you could cvsup to a src directory on the HD and then use something like rsync or tar to move the files over. Just check the man pages for information about preserving ownership and permissions. This idea is just for brainstorming. I've never tried it with FreeBSD. I've tried things resembling it with MacOS X.

mac mini (intel)?
A day or three ago someone posted about having 6.1-CURRENT (I believe) run on a MacBook laptop. Does anyone have it running on a Mac Mini (intel)? I might be interested in getting a couple to handle email services to nfs mounted mail stores. I like their small size and ability to stick several of them in my racks without really taking much room. (We are short of rack space at the moment for many new servers).
