No problem. I should add that if this is to be part of a long running

with something like:

Re: Synaptics touchpad freezes
The SHMConfig option seems to have no effect on the problem.

Strange indeed ;)
Not strange at all if think about how 'echo' works and how the arguments are
passed to it.
If you do a
echo `date`
then echo will be passed 6 arguments ('Fri' 'Feb' '2' '13:46:07' 'CET' '2007')
and print them with a single space between each of them.
If you do a
echo `date`
then echo will be passed only a single argument ('Fri Feb 2 13:46:07 CET 2007')
which will be printed unmodified.
As another example compare the outputs of
echo a b c
and
echo a b c

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Recovering a file on an msdosfs partition
The thing that should never, ever happen did happen yesterday. I lost a file and was not able to recover it. ROX-filer said NewFile where I should have seen a familiar filename. I tried fsck_msdosfs and got this meaningful answer: isidoros# fsck_msdosfs /kdisk ** /kdisk (NO WRITE) Invalid signature in boot block: Not much help there, so I booted into Windows and ran chkdsk /f on the slice in question. The only thing it was able to recover was 4 kB of binary zeroes. Now, this was not a very important file. And I may have written to the slice since losing that file, so it may indeed have been unrecoverable. My question is whether I could have done anything else to make FreeBSD correct the goof it had made. The answer from fsck_msdosfs above does not tell me a lot, and one fine day this may happen to some really important file that has not yet been backed up. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't matter where you put the redirects, so long as they're in

exits. It's more a matter of style and taste than anything. Here are
some more options if you're interested:
As long as you haven't started any other background jobs, this would
work in place of the final 'exec 5-':

Or, after you start the coprocess, you can store its PID, and kill that
later:

Dear mailing list, One of the many ideas, inspired by FreeBSD, that passed through my head is the one about making my own wireless access point using an old computer with FreeBSD and a wireless nic. First question, will a Fujitsu USB D1075 wireless nic work for this purpose? Second question, any pointers to how to make this small project happen would be appreciated. I've googled and found some but I like to read up on different ideas before I decide where to go.

trouble using raidtest on gstripe array
On 6.2 STABLE GENERIC, I have set up RAID0 using gstripe on two SATA
drives and installed benchmarks/raidtest for testing.
The array is known as /dev/stripe/data.
These were my steps:
# export mediasize=`diskinfo /dev/stripe/data | awk '{print $3}'`
# export sectorsize=`diskinfo /dev/stripe/data | awk '{print $2}'`
# raidtest genfile -s $mediasize -S $sectorsize -n 5
# ls
-rw-r--r-- 1 root super 781K Jan 27 08:42 raidtest.data
# raidtest test -d /dev/stripe/data -n 10 raidtest.data
raidtest: Cannot open 'raidtest.data' device: Operation not permitted
# ktrace raidtest test -d /dev/stripe/data -n 10 raidtest.data
# kdump
1222 raidtest CALL open(0xbfbfed3f,0,0x8049e6c)
1222 raidtest NAMI raidtest.data
1222 raidtest RET open 3
1222 raidtest CALL fstat(0x3,0xbfbfeb30)
1222 raidtest RET fstat 0
1222 raidtest CALL open(0xbfbfed28,0x10002,0x8049e6c)

1222 raidtest RET write 24/0x18
1222 raidtest CALL exit(0x1)
---
Looks like the gstripe label (/dev/stripe/data) is not available
somehow. Is there any known workaround?
---
Port info:
This utility can be used to test performance of storage devices.
First, one need to generate file with I/O operations:
# set mediasize=`diskinfo /dev/device | awk '{print $3}'`
# set sectorsize=`diskinfo /dev/device | awk '{print $2}'`
# raidtest genfile -s $mediasize -S $sectorsize -n 5
It will generate test which contains 5 I/O requests with random
size and random offset. Size is a multiple of sectorsize, but less than
or
equal to 128kB (maxium size of I/O request). I/O request type (READ or
WRITE)
is random as well.
All test data are stored in 'raidtest.data' file in current working
directory.
To run test, one should type:
# raidtest test -d /dev/device -n 10
This command will read test data from 'raidtest.data' file, run 10
processes
which will be used to send requests to the given device in parallel.
When test is finished you will see statistics:
Bytes per second: x
Requests per second: y
If you compare performance of two storage devices, use the same data
file!
usage: raidtest genfile [-frw] -s mediasize [-S sectorsize] -n
nrequests [file]
raidtest test [-Rrw] -d device [-n processes] [file]
where:
-d device path to tested device
-f if raidtest.data file or specified file already
exists,
remove it and create new one
-n nrequests number of requests to generate
-n processes number of processes to run
-r generate/run only READ requests
-R generate random data for write requests
-s size of destination device
-S sector size of destination device
-w generate/run only WRITE requests
file path to the data file instead of
default 'raidtest.data'

Re: Problem of segmentation fault with a lot of KDE programs
Hi again ! Replying to myself, as I made some progress, and would like to share them. I put the line : libpthread.so.2 libpthread.so.1 (which are /lib/libpthread.so.2 and /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1) in /etc/libmap.conf and now, kdevelop, kdvi and amarok work... but with this tuning, Terminal and Mozilla are not working, and I suspect that it's the case for lot of other programs. Error is : /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1: Undefined symbol __malloc_lock So how could I make it work ? How could I help the system to choose between both ? I tried to put things like : [/usr/local/bin/kdevelop-bin] libpthread.so.2 libpthread.so.1 in libmap.conf, but it does not work for all the programs, and that force me to add a lot of things manually to the libmap.conf file, which is not that good... Thanks ! Grégory 2007/2/1, Gregory Nou [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, After trying to figure out how to solve the problem I have on my own, I'd like to submit it to you, to get some hints.

about pulling it while it's mounted amd can work in the safe environment of

Re: interpreting top output (computing n% cpu usage in actual megahertz)
On 2/1/07, Mark Jayson Alvarez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, My goal is to find out how much CPU a program consumes when I execute it. In the manual, it says I can toggle from raw cpu mode to weighted cpu. However, I can't still understand the difference between the two and how it has something to do with my goal. Suppose my computer has a 1.6Ghz pentium 4 processor. I want to know how much is already in use or what percent. I also want to know how much it has increased when I run a particular program so that I can decide if this I can install this program without affecting other existing critical programs. this link should be helpful regarding the cpu utilization: http://students.cs.unipi.gr/pub/docs/sysadmin-1992-1998/html/v07/i05/a7.htm from the article: On AIX 4 systems, CPU% is computed by dividing the time the process uses the CPU by the elapsed time of the process. For example, if a process was started 60 minutes ago, and has so far used 60 seconds of the CPU, then its CPU% is 1 2/3%. This is sometimes called the weighted CPU%. which i believe gives a rough idea of how a weighted cpu average is calculated. hopefully someone more familiar with bsd internals can comment on how we arrive at this value. The same goes with memory usage.. Free doesn't mean that that are all my memory left that is useable right? The Description of Memory section just says: Active: number of pages active Inactive: number of pages inactive and so on and so forth without telling what the heck does it mean when a page is inactive and just what does pages means.. Buf, Free, Wired, Cache... don't know what are these either.. Perhaps I should consult wiki or google for this. yea that might be a good place to start. these are fairly common terms used when talking about the state of memory in operating systems. another excellent source is this book: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Implementation-FreeBSD-Operating-System/dp/0201702452 it's an excellent reference for any OS in my opinion, but is obviously very pertinent to FreeBSD. this URL may also be a decent place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management HTH -pete -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, It seems that I am unable to autostart apache 2.2.4 at boot time with FreeBSD 6.2.

It seems that adding apache2_enable=YES in rc.conf does not produce the desired result. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
