Now, I usually don't work at the console -- even though my regular working (MS Win 2000 Pro) is right next to it, it's usually easier just to use PuTTY to make an SSH connection, so I didn't notice for some time that the monitor light was blinking again.

Anything stronger than hw.ata.ata_dma=0?
I'm trying to get a Kingston 1GB 50x 'elite pro' Compact Flash working as ad1 initially, and then move it to ad0 to install FreeBSD-6.1 on it. The hardware is an Soekris net4801 and it's known that CF cards usually only work in PIO mode. A line in /boot/loader.conf saying: hw.ata.ata_dma=0 is usually enough, but not in this case. It seems, from the output of a verbose boot (see below), that the controller is successfully setting PIO4 mode, but then it sets UDMA33 again, eventually failing with: ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=0 Using 'atacontrol mode ad1 PIO4' works and I can then fdisk, label and mount it without error. So what can I do that would be more effective than the hw.ata.ata_dma sysctl.

HTH, Karol Just looking at the source a bit for libao and flac123, it appears that flac123 is capable of using multiple sound daemons to send information out to the soundcard. So, if you configure OSS and arts (assuming you have arts installed) differently in terms of which default device the daemon uses when playing sound, you should be ok I think. Other than that, I think you're stuck because OSS doesn't support sound input from multiple sources, and last I remember arts and the rest that actually supported taking sound from multiple inputs didn't support outputting sound on multiple cards simultaneously. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the newest port version and be sure to run pkgdb -F afterwards so you

Try pkg_delete -f {name of all ghostscript files here}. Then install the
newest port version and be sure to run pkgdb -F afterwards so you can
fix the package database, such that it references the right ghostscript.

Additionally I had to set GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT=print/ghostscript-gpl
/etc/make.conf in order to get newly installed/upgraded ports to depend
on gs-gpl instead of gs-gnu. I was never able to get gs-afpl to work
properly.

As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists. Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to 0.

I believe FreeBSD uses the other logical CPU to handle hardware interrupts, which can still help perormance. You can check dmesg to see how it's actually handling it. No! Kernel threads (e.g. handling interrupts) aren't that much different to normal processes. Logical CPUs on a single HTT capable CPU share most of the CPU logic, especially all the external stuff (handling interrupts). Scheduling handling of interrupts on the secondary/logical core wouldn't probably help performance at all (if that is at all possible). When FreeBSD sees logical CPUs it means HTT is either enabled in BIOS or that disabling HTT in BIOS does not hide the CPUs to FreeBSD (bug in BIOS/FreeBSD). Until you enable scheduler to schedule tasks to HTT cores (with machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1 in loader.conf) (disabled by default due to mentioned security/performance reasons) machine won't utilize the logical HTT CPUs. Therefore total CPU utilization won't be more than 50%, because there are the (unused) logical CPUs which don't get scheduled tasks. As far as know - trying to use HTT normally hurts performance and only a very special load on a machine can show increase in overall performance. Newer Intel CPUs have better HTT (probably meaning less sharing of stuff among the HTT cores - towards current trend - multi-core) and there they say it performs quite good with real world load to handle the logical cores as separate CPUs. Of course (if you built purpose built appliance) you can squeeze more from the HW when you exactly know what you need to do - you have some task(s) which do the data analysis and kernel threads which do the interrupt processing/data shifting) - than effectively using HTT might be possible (I have never heard of anyone effectively using HTT). Newest Intel CPUs don't bother with HTT - they are multicore - close to nothing is shared among (logical) CPUs. You would see each of these CPUs as a CPU in FreeBSD and they will get scheduled tasks to finish. Michal
Re: SMP detection
Michal Mertl wrote: No! Kernel threads (e.g. handling interrupts) aren't that much different to normal processes. Logical CPUs on a single HTT capable CPU share most of the CPU logic, especially all the external stuff (handling interrupts). Scheduling handling of interrupts on the secondary/logical core wouldn't probably help performance at all (if that is at all possible). Could you clarify note 20031022 in /usr/src/UPDATING? It states that HTT CPUs are used for interrupts if they are detected, even if they aren't used by regular processes.

that' very strange... my linux libXfixes is
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 - libXfixes.so.3.0
but neither of them is owned by any pkg (pkg_info -W ... shows zilch)
pkg_info -L linux-XFree* doesnt show them either...
sorry, cant look much more into this now... this thing called 'work' keeps
nagging ;)

not adding daemons to rc.conf
ive noticed that apache can be started manually using the apachectl tool, even if it is not enabled in /etc/rc.conf. do many other daemons have this ability? i have a dev server that i would like to not have many things enabled in the rc.conf, but i would like an easy way to just start specific daemons when i need. thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Take a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d You will see several scripts belonging to server applications you installed. Each one of these scripts can start or stop the service. For example: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh stop When you put something into rc.conf it is actually this script that is executed, so every daemon that can be enabled in rc.conf can also be started/stopped using those scripts. Daemons coming with the base system have there scripts in the /etc/rc.d directory. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why, yes. There's nothing magical about the rc mechanisms, and you are free to start daemons on your own.

The cool thing about using a properly designed script is it will be aware of all the things which need to be started first and try to start them is they aren't already running.
