(or set of jails if you want to provide for maximum separation) and give them
access to the jails ? They'll be able to do most stuff a newbie would do (and

You cannot just replace a .ko file that is a binary file. You have to install the kernel sources, then go into the directory that the driver .c and .h files are, back those up, and replace them, then recompile the kernel. Here's probably what you want to do: Go to here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ examine the files. For example, assume it was ata-disk.c Examine the history by clicking on the file you will see the different changes. For example according to this revision 1.189.2.5 was used for 6.2-release, revision 1.189.2.4 was used for 6.1-release. If the bug is in this file it was introduced in one of the intermediate revisions between these 2. You will note this cooresponds with: /sys/dev/ata on your system assuming you installed the kernel sources. If you wanted to backrev this driver you would install sources, recompile the kernel and install it and reboot to make sure you know how to build a running kernel, then you would go to this directory, replace the file you want (ata-disk.c for example) and recompile the kernel and install it and reboot and cross your fingers. Rebuilding the kernel is covered in the online handbook on the website. It most likely won't work the first time. You will need to try this with several files. You also want to try newer revisions of this file. Or you can get bold and tar up the entire directory from a 6.1-release system and move /sys/dev/ata to /sys/dev/ata.bak and untar the old directory into your 6.2 system than try that. Obviously you need a 6.1 system around for this. If Soren has a guess to this he may send you patches to one or more of these files for testing, you will need to apply them and rebuild and reboot to see if it works. This sort of thing can take a lot of time. But it is really critical that you get on it right away. Since right now there wern't many changes between the drivers and it will be very easy to narrow it down to precisely what revision change causes the problem.

rl0 is configured as : 192.168.x.x 255.255.255.0 # my
internal interface for pf
dc0 is configured as : DHCP # my
external interface for pf
The squid configuration is :
http_port 127.0.0.1:3128
dns_nameserver x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
visible_hostname xx
Kernel options that I have applied, recompiled and
installed are:
options INET
device bpf
device pf
device pflog
device pfsync
I can ping my internal internal interface and
interface (when external interface is assigned an IP
address). Kernel
gives message:
kernel:arp: 192.168.1.X is on rl0 but got reply from
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx on dc0.
Squid gives error :
ipcache_init: DNS name lookup tests failed
I tried to ping my dns server. I get error:
ping: no route to host.
I read at http://freebsdonline.com; to allow squid to
access pf device, following commands are to be given,
chgrp _squid /dev/pf
chmod g+rw /dev/pf
Out of this the fist command does not work as it is,
it has worked as under;
chgrp squid /dev/pf

PF Source routing of IPSEC tunnel ESP packets.
Hi, I am having some problems with source routing using PF, I tried the PF mailing list but got no responses. The network layout is available at: http://www.tomjudge.com/tmp/tunnels.png From the diagram Host A and B both have there default gateway set as ISP A's router, and have a PF rule that should route traffic from ISP B's addresses to ISP B's router. This seems to work for all traffic except the IPSEC ESP packets which always get transmitted to the default gateway that is set on the host. It seems that they do not pass through the firewall or for some reason do not match the route-to rule. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? PF rule Host A: (First rule in rule set) pass out quick on bge1 route-to ( bge1 112.0.0.1 ) inet from 112.0.0.2 to ! 112.0.0.0/27 keep state PF rule Host B: (First rule in rule set) pass out quick on bge1 route-to ( bge1 114.0.0.1 ) inet from 114.0.0.2 to ! 114.0.0.0/27 keep state Thanks Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can do this from a FreeBSD live cd such as FreesBIE or the fixit cd. You can then fsck the the rest of the filesystems in single user mode. You may also want to use the live CD to backup the important bits before, ehm, further corrupting/restoring the filesystems. ;) If the above doesn't work, probably something in either your slice table or partition table is wrong. If you have dedicated the entire disk to FreeBSD during the installation process, and chose the default disk layout, it should be possible to regenerate both using sysinstall (the freebsd installer) from the FreeBSD CD. However, if you made changes to the default setup, and you do not remember exactly what they were, and you do not have a backup of the output of bsdlabel ad1s1 things will get really tough here. In any case, I think you'll find the last section of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disk-organization.html a useful read on FreeBSD disk organisation.

3com network card
I found out recently most vendors here in Malaysia, they've stop selling any model 3com NIC's, 3com Corp. itself stop all the 3com NIC's production they added. I've read a few article on the internet and 3com web, they officially announce no more end-user product in their next business plan (include NIC's). We've been using their NIC's for quite sometimes on heavy load traffic machine and it's really good in performance and last long compare to the cheapo NIC's like Realtek, Linksys, Dlink, SMC etc. I really disappointed with their decision recently. Other good NIC's is Intel Pro, but it's very rare here, really hard to get. Even Ingram Micro here don't carry them. Unless you buy branded server's (nevertheless you just got it built-in though). Do you guys have any tips/idea any good and reliable NIC's beside 3com and Intel Pro to work under *BSD / UNIX ?

(usually 246 Opteron cpu's) Now of course the world is shifting to Dual Core. Using FreeBSD, what is really the difference, besides power and ability to shove in more memory, between having the two seperate CPUS's? Well, you also have two additional HT buses for memory access. And one additional HT bus for peripheral access although most motherboard manufacturers don't actually do anything with it. What if I did 2, Dual Core cpu's? Would the SMP overhead and sharing to a [Giant Locked] disk and or network erase any benefits? Benefits to what? Your computer can idle quite effectively with a 386 processor while consuming less power, producing less heat and requiring much less capital outlay than any Opteron box. I'm not sure where you got that info, but for the Pentium processor line at least, you're MUCH better off getting a Core Duo compared to the Pentium 4 HT enabled equivalent. I think you took his intended humor too seriously. His point really was that the poster did not indicate what the system would be used for and thus it was not really possible to say much about the benefit. If the system was mostly sitting idle, one CPU is about the same as another CPU in so far as what it gets done. But if it has a load that distributes well over dual cores, then it makes a very big difference. jerry Intel's power system (at least at the hardware level) is pretty good about shutting down cores when not in use, and actually it's better power wise to get a dual core processor compared to a dual processor machine, since on a dual processor machine both processors are fired up at the same time. Besides, with dual cores it's a shorter path electrically core to core, compared to a processor. The only OS that actually performs better with a dual single core processor setup compared to a single dual core processor would be Mac OSX (believe it or not). But that's because they use a mach kernel instead of a monolithic kernel like FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows. Look up previous discussions on this list for the mach kernel and OSX if you're curious, or just look up the article on wikipedia. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you getting any other hard looking errors in /var/log/messages? Is fsck happy? It never hurts to run 'fsck -n' whenever you feel the urge. Try installing the sysutils/smartmontools port and run a drive self- I ran the short test on the problem drives, and it said everything was fine. I'll try the long test at a later date. Only your ad3.txt referred to below shows a (short) test having been completed and logged. You might check the smartctl -a results after running at least short tests initially (looks like the long ones will take 4-5 hours for your 4 drives) as Chuck has since suggested. #2. Sequences like this show up a fair amount: Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed from 152 to 153 Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed from 153 to 152 Device: /dev/ad0, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 8 Seek_Time_Performance changed from 251 to 250 I'm not sure of the degree of logging you're having smartd use here, but these small changes of value, especially up and down by 1 but a long way from any error threshold, seem to be excessive and relatively trivial perhaps debug-level detail?, ie most likely nothing of any concern. I suggest reading man smartctl under '-A, --attributes' and then you'll know as much as I do about what these may mean, and maybe worry less .. Here are all the smartctl -a outputs: http://l-i-e.com/ad0.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad1.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad2.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad3.txt ad3 is giving the most errors... ad1 gives a fair amount though Do you mean according to that fine-detail attribute changes logging? Or real read/write/seek etc errors being logged to messages? And the ad0 and ad2 seem to be giving the spinup errors. None of those reports seem to indicate any problems really, though if anyone else cares to peek and notices any anomalies, I'm all eyes. As for temperatures, the readings for all 4 drives seem very cool, but then it is winter over there .. Temperature Celcius for ad0 to ad3 being 36, 27, 22 and 18 degrees C, each present and worst value well clear of error thresholds .. did you interprete those values as temperatures? ad0 is pretty much full ad1 is the one I'm filling up currently ad2 and ad3 have no actual content on them yet, but will soon All the drives are kind of in an old PC tower (XT? AT???), except the outer casing is, errr, not there... Just the framework. Might be worth checking that your power supply is up to handling 4 big drives, but they weren't running more than mildly warm when reported. ad2 and ad3 are in one of these Thermaltake iCage things: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=257products_id=3533 which converts the old-school floppy drive[s] bay into an IDE bay, and puts a big honking fan blowing on them. These too were running nice and cool, 22 and 18C, when reported. Cf my 40GB laptop drive (at smartctl version 5.36 [i386-portbld-freebsd5.5], rather more recent than your 5.33 freebsd6.0) this afternoon: 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 40 (Lifetime Min/Max 13/49) I'm not claiming it's good enough but I tried. I left the iCage bay between them empty for airflow/cooling. ad0 and ad1 are in the usual IDE bay of a tower. I have a fan in there, but without the cover to shape the airflow, perhaps that is not doing much useful... Perhaps it wasn't properly warmed up when you ran those reports, but on the data you've provided you don't have any sort of temperature problem. I can touch the exposed front and back top (above IDE cable) and lay my finger along it. It's hot but not like, ouch hot :-) Over 70C or so is too hot to touch except momentarily.

Try installing the sysutils/smartmontools port and run a drive self- I ran the short test on the problem drives, and it said everything was fine. I'll try the long test at a later date. Only your ad3.txt referred to below shows a (short) test having been completed and logged. You might check the smartctl -a results after running at least short tests initially (looks like the long ones will take 4-5 hours for your 4 drives) as Chuck has since suggested. #2. Sequences like this show up a fair amount: Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed from 152 to 153 Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed from 153 to 152 Device: /dev/ad0, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 8 Seek_Time_Performance changed from 251 to 250 I'm not sure of the degree of logging you're having smartd use here, but these small changes of value, especially up and down by 1 but a long way from any error threshold, seem to be excessive and relatively trivial perhaps debug-level detail?, ie most likely nothing of any concern. I suggest reading man smartctl under '-A, --attributes' and then you'll know as much as I do about what these may mean, and maybe worry less .. Here are all the smartctl -a outputs: http://l-i-e.com/ad0.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad1.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad2.txt http://l-i-e.com/ad3.txt ad3 is giving the most errors... ad1 gives a fair amount though Do you mean according to that fine-detail attribute changes logging? Or real read/write/seek etc errors being logged to messages? And the ad0 and ad2 seem to be giving the spinup errors. None of those reports seem to indicate any problems really, though if anyone else cares to peek and notices any anomalies, I'm all eyes. As for temperatures, the readings for all 4 drives seem very cool, but then it is winter over there .. Temperature Celcius for ad0 to ad3 being 36, 27, 22 and 18 degrees C, each present and worst value well clear of error thresholds .. did you interprete those values as temperatures? ad0 is pretty much full ad1 is the one I'm filling up currently ad2 and ad3 have no actual content on them yet, but will soon All the drives are kind of in an old PC tower (XT? AT???), except the outer casing is, errr, not there... Just the framework. Might be worth checking that your power supply is up to handling 4 big drives, but they weren't running more than mildly warm when reported. ad2 and ad3 are in one of these Thermaltake iCage things: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=257products_id=3533 which converts the old-school floppy drive[s] bay into an IDE bay, and puts a big honking fan blowing on them. These too were running nice and cool, 22 and 18C, when reported. Cf my 40GB laptop drive (at smartctl version 5.36 [i386-portbld-freebsd5.5], rather more recent than your 5.33 freebsd6.0) this afternoon: 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 40 (Lifetime Min/Max 13/49) I'm not claiming it's good enough but I tried. I left the iCage bay between them empty for airflow/cooling. ad0 and ad1 are in the usual IDE bay of a tower. I have a fan in there, but without the cover to shape the airflow, perhaps that is not doing much useful... Perhaps it wasn't properly warmed up when you ran those reports, but on the data you've provided you don't have any sort of temperature problem. I can touch the exposed front and back top (above IDE cable) and lay my finger along it. It's hot but not like, ouch hot :-) Over 70C or so is too hot to touch except momentarily.

Re: Dual Core Or Dual CPU - What's the real difference in performance?
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mike Meyer writes: Generally, more processors means things will go faster until you run out of threads. However, if there's some shared resource that is the bottleneck for your load, and the resource doesn't support simultaneous access by all the cores, more cores can slow things down. Of course, it's not really that simple. Some shared resources can be managed so as to make things improve under most loads, even if they don't support simultaneous access. Generally speaking the performance increase is not linear. At some point there is no benefit to adding more processors. In a former life when I was an MVS systems programmer the limit was seven processors in a System/370. Today we can use 16, 32, even 64 processors with a standard operating system and current hardware, unless one of the massively parallel architectures is used. To answer the original posters question, there are architectural differences mentioned here, e.g. shared cache, I/O channel, etc., but the reason the chip manufacturers make them is that they're more cost effective than two CPUs. The AMD X2 series of chips (I have one), they're not truely a dual processor chip. They're analogous to the single processor System/370 with an AP (attached processor) in concept. What this means is that both processors can execute all instructions and are just as capable in every way except external interrupts, e.g. I/O interrupts, are handled by the processor 0 as only that processor is wired to be interrupted in case of external interrupt. I can't comment about Intel's Dual Core CPUs as I don't know their architecture but I'd suspect the same would be true. Chips in which there are two dual core CPUs on the same die, I believe one of each of the dual core CPUs can handle external interrupts. From an operating system perspective an AP means that processor 0 will receive the interrupt and put it on it's queue. Then either processor 0 or processor 1 would take the interrupt off the queue and do something with it. To add another dimension to this discussion, hyperthreading uses spare cycles in a single processor to pretend there are two processors, increasing performance for some apps and reducing performance for other apps. For example Sun T2000 systems have multiple CPUs each with multiple cores and each core capable of hyperthreading, presenting to Solaris 32 processors where in fact there are only two CPU chips (I may have the numbers wrong as I spend most of my time in management mode at work and you know managers don't have brains). Generally speaking, dual core is an inexpensive way to get SMP into the hands of people who could not normally afford SMP technology as it was. I have a mortgage so spending money on computers is not a high priority in relation to that priority but dual core does give me an opportunity to enter the market relatively inexpensively and get good value for the money I spend on the technology. That's really what it's all about, how much performance you get for the money you spend. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD UNIX: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: compiling error - /usr : filesystem full
Here's some additional Information I have been able to find. The
narrative is just to further explain what I was doing.
-
I was in the process of rebuilding a new kernel for one of my laptops.
I did the whole cvsup_without-gui. I created a new kernel called
LAPTOP and commented all unnecessary drivers and options.
When I ran make buildkernel KERNCONF=LAPTOP, the process eventually
died with an error. I neglected to write down the exact error, but it
was something like
{objcopy) /usr : filesystem full
As you can see /usr is choking. I have not turned off the laptop.
Based on the information below, what can I delete to free up some
space. I use the word delete in broad terms. Much like the windows
world where you should 'uninstall' as opposed to simply deleting a
folder...I am not sure what to do...ie how to free up space.
The only thing I can think of is to simply # rm /usr/ports ... for
lack of a better example.
# du -ak /usr |sort -nr | /tmp/file2.txt
This file had 24,000 lines so I deleted much of the file.
Your thoughts/suggestions will be much appreciated.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
4.6 Remove /usr/obj
As parts of the system are rebuilt they are placed in directories which
(by default) go under /usr/obj. The directories shadow those under
/usr/src.
You can speed up the make buildworld process, and possibly save yourself
some dependency headaches by removing this directory as well.
Some files below /usr/obj may have the immutable flag set (see
chflags(1) for more information) which must be removed first.
# cd /usr/obj
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *
---
That might get you enough room.

PF + if_bridge + rdr: rdr to bridge?
Hi all, I have a network set up as such: 192.168.12.14 -em1-em0- | A |---| B |---| C | - - - 192.168.12.13 192.168.12.15 B is bridging with if_bridge. C hosts a webserver. A is the client. I'm trying to selectively redirect connections from A - C to instead talk to a service listening on B's bridge0.

Re: compiling error - /usr : filesystem full
{objcopy) /usr : filesystem full
The only thing I can think of is to simply # rm /usr/ports ... for
lack of a better example.
# du -ak /usr |sort -nr | /tmp/file2.txt
This file had 24,000 lines so I deleted much of the file.
Your thoughts/suggestions will be much appreciated.
1) make the above:
du -k | sort -nr | head -n 30
Whatever's causing your problem is likely to reveal itself in
the list of the 30 largest directories.

/dev/ad0s1f 2300 2286 -170 108%/usr
2) Depending on your installation, 2gb is _small_ for /usr. IF
that's what you have, then you need to be ruthlessly pro-active
about purging unneeded files.
Start by running the command above as a cron job once a day;
mail yourself the output.
3) As others mentioned, rm -r /usr/obj/* before make
buildworld. On my system, it takes up 863 mb.

Re: Re: Intel Core Duo. SMP kernel but still only 50% load while using make on ports...
Hello Bill, Thanks for your answer I have at my disposal an Inspiron 9400 with an Intel CoreFreeBSD 6.2 is installed and rebuilt to fit the processor. The kerne l is in SMP mode. I noticed something strange: When I compile using ma in the ports tree, I only have 50% load. CPU1 is used at CPU0 is idle... How do you know this? With 'top' I tried make -j2 but it did not work, Any idea? -j2 does not guarantee that you'll use both CPUs. It's entirely possible that the IO is slow enough that both of the processes are waiting on disk and only able to push the overall system usage to 50%. Try make -j99. Also, there are places in the build process where it's only possible to run one process at a time, so you can't just take a single snapshot of it, you have to watch it over time. I think it's more that the port tree does not really like parallel processes... I'm still not convinced anything is wrong: *) Does dmesg show the second CPU starting? Yes *) Does top show a column for CPU binding? Are different processes bound to different CPUs? Yes *) Are these hyperthreaded CPUs? If so, is hyperthreading enabled? HT is disabled by default on FreeBSD, and overall usage will never go above 50% if HT is off. No, it's a Dual Core Daniel Förena nytta med nöje.

As was already pointed out, ports do not compile with make -j X by
default. You can do so for ports that will build cleanly (not all of
them will), by adding something similar to the following to your
make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/ImageMagick*}
MAKE_ARGS+=-j4
.endif
A while back I found which ports I had installed that would play nice
with make -j, so I updated make.conf with a bunch of similar entries
to the above. Works fairly well, and there are actually quite a few
ports that will compile with make -j. If you're interested, let me
know and I'll throw my make.conf up somewhere.

Weird perms with linux_base-gentoo-stage3
I'm using linux_base-gentoo-stage3-2006.0_2 for my 6.2-RELEASE system's Linux emulation. It works perfectly for my Linux apps - better than the recommend linux_base-fc4 port, in fact - but has a strange problem. Whenever I install new software using Gentoo's emerge tool, the resulting binaries have weird permissions. For example: $ ls -la /compat/linux/usr/bin/pcretest rwS--T 1 root wheel 33828 Feb 8 17:13 /compat/linux/usr/bin/pcretest I found a similar question in the freebsd-emulation list (URL:http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-December/002937.html), and it seems that the problem is trigged by the utimes() syscall. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem? It doesn't look like it's been patched in FreeBSD itself yet, and I haven't gotten a reply from the author of the above post when I asked him if he'd solved the problem. Neither was I able to find the patch he mention. Any pointers would be most appreciated! I'm getting tired of manually fixing the permissions on every file I install (and hoping that 755 for exes is correct). -- Kirk Strauser pgpUTzlDPmnNl.pgp Description: PGP signature

Guidance requested for multimedia conversion
Hi all, Being much more a system programmer / database person than a multi media type I am requesting a 'recipe' from a video media expert. I need to convert an 8 minute .avi file into a basic dvd. No menus or anything, just a dumb as possible 'load it, press play' disk. As long as I can do that, and also get the dvd player to do loop play, its fine. I have a dvd burner, have used it via command line and k3b to burn data Cds and data DVDs. I am quite happy to load a list of ports to do the conversion, layout and burning for the video DVD... I just need a list of ports to load, and the sequence of command lines to execute. FreeBSD 5.4 Release, KDE 3.5.4.

Based on what you stated above, would that mean that when using a dual core system, using polling interupts might be better or perhaps monumanally worse? I have a mortgage so spending money on computers is not a high priority in relation to that priority but dual core does give me an opportunity to enter the market relatively inexpensively and get good value for the money I spend on the technology. That's really what it's all about, how much performance you get for the money you spend. Tring to figure out the fud from reality is often the best way to make sure you really get the best value. However, it always seems to depend on many variables :) Thanks!

strange troubles building 6.2

It was easy getting my 5.3 CD upgraded to 5.5, but for unknown reasons,I'm having troubles moving up to 6.2-R. (I upgrades this server [tao] from 5.5 to 6.2-PRE without any problems. ) KERNEL=GENERIC on my backup server and I'm typing make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel; Things hung up after buildworld, during buildkernel.

Re: partition/cd recognition problem hal GNOME 2.16 FreeBSD RELEASE 6.2
On Mon, 2007-02-05 at 18:53 -0800, Charles Schaum wrote: Kudos to the GNOME FreeBSD team for continuing improvements. Problem: Hal no longer recognizes all vfat partitions. Two vfat partitions at ad0s1 and ad1s2 exist. Only ad0s1 now appears. CD burning now proceeds better via Nautilus. Before portsnap / portmaster that failed altogether. Now CD-R burning succeeds, whilst CD-RW burning can still hang the machine altogether. Gnomebaker, however, has worked consistently. Once burned, if not ejected, the CD is not recognized any more in the burning drive and in the auxiliary drive. Mac OS X can, however, recognize the CD. Indeed after burning a CD and closing the dialog (without ejecting) no CD or DVD of any kind was recognized any more, nor was any console error output generated. The devices simply ceased to communicate. Without the output of lshal, there is nothing we can do. Also be aware that CD burning uses cdrecord and/or growisofs for the underlying work. If those commands do not work on your system, then n-c-b won't work. n-c-b just uses HAL to detect burners and which media is in them.

Re: Can I use an HP printer
Chris, Your HP 4550N is a real commercial printer with a PostScript interpreter in it, that is why you can just send the print jobs directly to it and the printer will do the work of rasterizing them. Bob doesen't have a PostScript printer like your 4550N His is a cheapie home winprinter that has no engine in the printer and can only do very limited processing. It definitely ain't going to understand PostScript fed to it, and likely not even ASCII. For Bob to get his printer to work means he's going to have to install Ghostscript, and a special driver that interprets the intermediate output from Ghostscript into something that the 2600n can digest. Here is a driver that someone wrote that can do this: http://foo2hp.rkkda.com/ I assume it's somewhere in the FreeBSD ports. What Bob needs to do to get his printer to work involves hours of labor and a lot of knowledge of how the various pieces fit together under FreeBSD. If he was installing it under Linux he could use these instructions: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-Color_LaserJet_2600n but I'll repost the warning from that page here: ...the printer works like a charm, but for printing photos the colors are horrible - at least with the default settings and the driver dated May 18... In other words, after a Herculean effort he is only going to end up with something that works. Not something that works well. If he just bought this printer the smartest thing he could do is take it back to the store and get a better printer that could speak PostScript - like your 4550N. It will be a bit more expensive but it's not cost-justifyable in a business environment to waste the labor getting a non-PostScript printer to work with a UNIX like FreeBSD. I myself have an Epson C84 inkjet in my home that has the same issues. I bought it knowing all this full well, and I did in fact spend the time to get it to work, and it does work well. Since we only use the thing probably 6 times a year to print color (we also have a PostScript laserjet at home) I decided that since my labor was free that I'd rather spend my money on something other than a printer, so I bought a cheap printer. But, since that purchase a year ago I've seen at least 5 of these printers in excellent shape at the local Goodwill store. So I have to conclude that a lot of people out there have gone down the non-Postscript route, found it wanting, and said hell with it and went back to the store and got a real printer. The other thing that they don't tell you when you go the Ghostscript route, is that unless you have a screamingly fast CPU, it takes a long, LONG time for the driver to rasterize a page in your computer!

restore: no memory to extend symbol table
When moving from one disk to another, I did a dump of a large filesystem, like this: mkdir ~/tmo cd ~/tmp dump -0f - /dev/devicenode | split So now I have 99G in 100 files named xaa through xdv However, when I try to restore it: mount /mountpoint cat ~/tmp/* | (cd /mountpoint restore -rf -) after cat spits out 2.18 GB (in the same spot every time), after restore creates a number of directories (but no files), I get the error: no memory to extend symbol table abort?

Another proposed fix is to allow restore to get more than 512MB of RAM, but I'm not sure where to set that (since I'm not familiar with vm and I have no such limit in /etc/login.conf, and can find nothing in sysctl). It's not a RAM limit, because I have 1GB of RAM and 2.5 GB of swap. The other proposed fix is to use interactive mode and restore less at a time, but if I do that hardlinks between directories may be broken and I need to retain those (unless they wouldn't be broken between successive restores, in which case I can do that).
