GNOME and KDE are available on FreeBSD, and are probably the most featureful. XFCE is somewhat lighter weight, but also has a good number of features that might be considered helpful by some and as too much eye-candy by others. There are plenty of other possible combinations of window desktop managers available. The Macintosh computers have their own graphic interface, which, AFAIK, isn't available on FreeBSD. HAHA... the day that Aqua is fully available in another OS than OSX will be the day that hell freezes over. Same as Aero or Luna outside of Windows ^^. There are plenty of OSX mockups out there with docks and junk, but most of them are junk. XFCE4 is good, and I think you'll like it. For the rest, just google.. millions of people before you have asked similar questions and you have to find out what suits your fancy the most.

If it still gives the same error on bootup, I would go into the SCSI BIOS and low-level format that first drive, and reinstall FreeBSD. On the reinstall, I would just do the partioning for that drive, and then install everything. That way it will run mostly by itself, you can just check on it for the last few prompts of the install finishing up. Derek, I just did the following, expecting that this would fix the glitch: 1) Reset the SCSI BIOS to Host Adapter Defaults: Matches prior configuration exactly. 2) Run a low-level format on SCSI device #0: No errors. 3) Install FreeBSD 6.2 from scratch. Note: I answered Yes to the prompt ACPI was disabled during boot. Would you like to disable it permanently?. I don't think it will boot if I enable ACPI. RESULT: FAIL - Still getting DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER 4) Ran Verify Disk Media on SCSI ID #0: Disk Verification Complete What else could it possibly be? Are there any other diagnostics I can run? What do you think of the fact that this machine was booting Windows 2000 from the same SCSI drive prior to installing FreeBSD 6.2? In case it matters, all SCSI drives are IBM DNES-309170W ULTRA2-LVD. Thanks! One other thing that might be happening is if the geometry of the drive isn't allowing an extended translation because of the age of your hardware, you may need to keep the boot partition, that is the entire boot partition (not talking slices here) within the first 1024 cylinders. In the partition tool in sysinstall you can change the display to show different units, and one of those will be cylinders. The 1024 cylinder limit is from older BIOS translations and if the boot partition extended beyond 1024 the system will give that same error you are getting. With older hardware you may need to use multiple partitions instead of slices. You can have 4 partitons on a drive (4 is hardcoded in the partition table size and a location) so you can add additional partitions for swap and /usr if you want. Any partitions you use for filesystems like /usr the boot manager will see and offer to boot them. They won't boot of course. Swap partitions are ignored by the boot manager. Otherwise, I'd suspect it is a problem with the 6.2 you are using then. If you try with a boot within the 1024 (I wouldn't push that to the limit I'd say try like 950 cylinders) then I would try an earlier version such as 6.1 or 6.0. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

There is no such thing as THE FreeBSD GUI. Just like with many other Open Source Operating Systems you can decide what to use. So, basically you need an X-Server to get started. This is covered in the FreeBSD manual in chapter 5: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html Then you can either install KDE, GNOME or xfce4 as desktop environments, or a smaller and less resource consuming Window Manager. Check out /usr/ports/x11-wm. Concerning packages: There is no simple way to determine wether a port is running or not. But if you install from ports and the make install finishes with registering the installation of the port and ends without any error message, the port should have been installed fine. The rest is up to you: When a port doesn't do what it is supposed to do or doesn't work as expected chances are high that you either found a bug or something is broken. Before updating either ports or the base system you should read /usr/src/UPDATING and /usr/ports/UPDATING which contains some information concerning updates. gettext has been updated in ports, which resulted in a necessary rebuild for all ports that depended on it. Reading this can save you some trouble.

The main advantages for me are: -easy to work with, you view your picture from any programming language with url support or from any web based solution. -the pictures are stored on a different raid wich is not as fast as the primary but a lot larger. -database backups remain fast while I can use lots of different methods to backup the pics.

Re: megacli and PERC5 (PowerEdge 1950) on 6.2
I will also note that it is not an issue of compatibility between the LSI-provided MegaCli and the Dell PERC5/i.

Chroot/jail mechanism in ssh and sftp connections

You do need to add one thing to the accounts, which is to change their home directory in /etc/passwd adding an additional dot. For instance if a users home directory is: /home/user You'd need to change it to: /home/./user vsftpd is well documented and relatively easy to get setup and running. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Adding interfaces to bridge0
hello; This is the situation: Using FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE I have benn using qemu to roll a windows XP machine, using a bridge to interface tap0 and rl0 on the same network my efault route board (xl0) is. I was working great. A few days ago , I updated src/sys (kernel - because of a java issue), recompiled installed. Yesterday I needed to rum XP. I started qemu and windows started fine, the netword hardware came in fine but I had no connectivity ate all. I pinged out from windows but tcpdump would only report packets from tap0. I tried recompiling qemu/kqemu but no change. I closed qemu and tried to set up the bridge manually. That's when I found why: kldload if_bridge ifconfig bridge0 create OK ifconfig bridge0 addm rl0 addm tap0 up ifconfig: BRDGADD rl0: Invalid argument ifconfig: BRDGADD tap0: Invalid argument I have 3 network boards on my machine and this happens when I try to add any of them.

Fwd: Jail is pausing . . Ideas please. . ?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Listers, I appears I found the solution. . http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/jail- restrictions.html excerpt. . Semaphore system calls allow processes to synchronize execution by doing a set of operations atomically on a set of semaphores. Basically semaphores provide another way for processes lock resources. However, process waiting on a semaphore, that is being used, will sleep until the resources are relinquished. I had two scripts that run on this jail, they both connect to the database jail (pgsql) that is running on the same host. . Stopped those scripts and in the last 18 hrs the pausing has been eliminated. Thanks to those who had comments. . Troy Listers, Currently I am having some strange issues with regard to a jail pausing, hoping someone here might have some ideas. . Here is my Usenet post. . : I am running FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE (SMP), and the the system seems to be pausing. System details: I have da0, da1, da2, da3, each 500GB, I'm also using GEOM_CONCAT to concatenation, amd64 SMP kernel, and 16GB of ram. Running 7 jails, primarily running apache, samba, postfix, pgsql. On what appears to be random occasions (usually several times in 5m) the system seems to pause. For instance, vipw takes 40s to respond, or the smbd which clients use for their mailbox.pst ignores requests from outlook to act on the file. Then moments later it is happy again, and begins working normally. I have been monitoring top while it happens and it appears like it is doing very little. . ie. . last pid: 75014; load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.07 up 203+07:20:57 15:24:53 246 processes: 1 running, 244 sleeping, 1 stopped CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.1% interrupt, 99.7% idle Mem: 967M Active, 13G Inact, 320M Wired, 782M Cache, 214M Buf, 569M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 2504K Used, 4093M Free Tried running nice -20 vipw and it still took some time for it to run. Could it be a file locking issue?. . Any thoughts or ideas on further troubleshooting would really be appreciated -- Since that post it actually appears to only be happening in one jail called drzoe. The host system seems to be working properly during these slow downs Other things I've considered: 1) Is there an upper limit to the number of connections a NIC can support? Am I exceeding it? NiC Switches aren't showing any packet loss. 2) Am I running out of IO, to and from the disks? Tried looking at iostat, but I'm exactly sure what a problem would look like.

Append only directory ? Is this possible with unix permissions ?
Hello, I have a user whose home directory I would like to make append only. That is to say, they cannot delete files, or delete information from files, but they _can_ create new files or append information to existing files. Or, if that is not possible, at the very least I wouldlike the ability to create new files, while not being allowed to delete any files. Is this possible with unix permissions ? Is it possible in the freebsd filesystem in any way at all ? If not, any suggestions ? Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!

I personally have no experience with disklabel so it took me a bit to track down, but it seems like the raw device is not allowing anything to edit the first sectors. Keep in mind that an Olive install effectively turns your BSD box into a Juniper box, so the boot procedure will be different, which is why I'm leaning toward this.

Re: Append only directory ? Is this possible with unix permissions ?
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Gore Jarold thusly... I have a user whose home directory I would like to make append only. See chflags(1), getfacl(1), and setfacl(1). That is to say, they cannot delete files, or delete information from files, but they _can_ create new files or append information to existing files. If you set sappnd flag (via chflags) on a directory, then nobody will be able to delete any pre-existing files (or files created later) in that directory. However, any file in that directory can still be truncated to size of 0. If set the same flag on a file, then that particular file cannot be deleted or truncated, only be appeneded. So you may need to set the sappnd flag at least on each file. Or, if that is not possible, at the very least I wouldlike the ability to create new files, while not being allowed to delete any files. Is this possible with unix permissions ? Is it possible in the freebsd filesystem in any way at all ? The sticky bit, as mentioned in other reply, will limit file modifications, including deletion, to the owner of the file. In case like this ACLs seem to be most appropriate. FreeBSD 5.0 included a complete ACL implementation based on extended attributes for the UFS and UFS2 file systems.

Re: disklabel error in 4.11 release
On Tue, Apr 10, 2007 at 01:21:18PM -0700, fbsd bsd wrote: Hey *, having a bit of a problem with disklabel. A bit of background. I'm building a lab with Olive boxes in it (http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive), which are basically i386 machines running JunOS. Please note that this whole procedure is entirely unsupported by Juniper and I would never *ever* recommend anyone run production traffic on an Olive box. At any rate, it requires a base install of FBSD 4.11, which you then do a pkg_add of their software over. The problem I'm having is that the package add fails every time. I personally have no experience with disklabel so it took me a bit to track down, but it seems like the raw device is not allowing anything to edit the first sectors. Keep in mind that an Olive install effectively turns your BSD box into a Juniper box, so the boot procedure will be different, which is why I'm leaning toward this. Also, this is the output of disklabel querying the kernel, then the device. olive1# disklabel ad4 # /dev/ad4: type: unknown disk: amnesiac label: fictitious flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 9726 sectors/unit: 15625 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 156250unused0 0# (Cyl.0 - 9726*) olive1# olive1# olive1# olive1# olive1# olive1# olive1# disklabel -r ad4 disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled) olive1# Attempts to use disklabel -e to edit the device label end in: :q disklabel: Operation not supported by device re-edit the label?

Three things to consider: Do you really have a drive 'ad4'? that would be the 5th ide type drive on the machine. If not, then you need to straighten out your drive designators. If you do have an ad4 (see dmesg to check), then you are attempting what they call a 'dangerously dedicated' drive by putting on a label without creating slices and putting the label in there. Maybe that is what is expected if this system you are trying to install mucks with the boot sector. But, it could also indicate you are not quite doing what you want. Be sure about what you are doing. What drive/slice/partition are you booted to? If it is to ad4 then the system probably will not allow you (or pkg_add) to write to that disk slice table or partition table - which, by the way, must be done as root.

Anyway, as is probably obvious, I am not familiar with this piece of software you are trying to install so I don't know just what to expect from it. One more thing to ask: Is it really necessary to try to install it in such an old version of FreeBSD? Will it not work in FreeBSD 6.2?

Re: Uninstalling Ports Question
Thanks Bill. I use the port upgrade suit for all of my port management needs. I guess what I can do is just pkg_info the pkg I am going to delete then see if I need the deps or not and un-install them as well. Bill Moran wrote: In response to Placid Publishing, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Say I have a new system with nothing installed on it yet from the ports collection. Lets say I install Apache and lets say it requires php, python, perl, and ruby. Now lets say I uninstall Apache with pkg_delete Apache. Will it remove php, python, perl, and ruby? Or will it leave those packages? Even if nothing else is depending on them? The system does not automatically clean up dependencies for you. If you uninstall a package that leave dependencies behind, you'll have to clean them up yourself. If it does, how can I remove those quickly with a pkg_* command? Also, what happens if other programs I installed later use php, python, or perl? I'm guessing they would just be left? Install and use ports-mgmnt/pkg_cutleaves.

Write_DMA48 Kernel Panic
Hi, When attempting to backup data to a new 500GB sata HDD I'm getting a kernel panic, followed by reboot after the 15 second timeout. I've tried the drive in my XP machine and formated/written to it fine, I've also tried mounting the drive as a USB2 device via an external enclosure in FreeBSD and again writes/reads are fine. This is occuring on FreeBSD6-2 Release, Generic Kernel. Part of the message reads: ad6 TIMEOUT - WriteDMA48 retrying (1 retry left) Fata trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault code: supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer: 0x20:0xc0685de4 ... ... current process 6 (thread taskq) trap number = 12 I've attempted to lookup the function assosiated with the pointer and obtained the following two entries c0685da0 t devclass_sysctl_handler c0685ddc t devclass_sysctl_init In addition as the top error was DMA related, I've tried booting without dma support with boot/loader.conf containing hw.ata.ata_dma=0 With this in place the kernel panic doesn't occur, however instead I get a load of g_vfs_done error=6 messages. I'm currently backing up using the drive mounted in a USB2 enclosure rather than connected via SATA and all appears well, so I'm pretty sure the fault lies either with the SATA PCI Controller or somewhere in the freeBSD code. The specific controller card type is a SiI 3512 SATA150 controller I'll try the controller card in another machine tomorrow just to double check it's not actually a hardware fault. I have seen a few other threads with similar errors to the above in a google search, but as yet none of the suggested solutions worked. Aside from that, anyone have any other ideas as to what could be the cause or ideally how to resolve it?

You can easily do some of this using top, such as:
top -bS 200 | tail -n +9 | awk '{ print $5 }'
If you want to tweak the nice value you'd need to examine the value and
then renice it as long as you are root. You'd need the PID for that, so
here's another example:
top -bS 200 | tail -n +9 | awk '{ printf(Pid: %d has Nice: %d\n, $1,$5) }'

Well, I knew there had to be a static way to read top. -bS is
it. If NICE is 9, then renice-n -9 pid ought to reset it to 0;
so in C, the check for nice or n would be trivial:
if (n != 0)
n = -n;
In you example, would this be if ($1 != 0) $1 = -$1;
then a '{system(renice -n $)};
or is this disallowed in awk?

Re: Advice on how to memorize images
You can use MySQL or any other relational database to cross-reference/catalog storage locations and information about a large quantity of items/data such as pictures. IMHO, to make such a project worthwhile, you need a database design that serves your needs. If you don't want to design/develop it yourself, you can probably find a free cataloging program or database schema that will work well. You store the actual images in a filesystem, and insert database records that have a field for specifying the path/filename where the image is located and other fields such as date/time photograph was taken, a name and/or description, etc. You will want to have one or more tables for categorizing your images (at least two levels deep) to make it easier to find the one(s) you are looking for. I would provide several ways to cross-reference images (based on one or more criteria).

In the partition tool in sysinstall you can change the display to show different units, and one of those will be cylinders. The 1024 cylinder limit is from older BIOS translations and if the boot partition extended beyond 1024 the system will give that same error you are getting. With older hardware you may need to use multiple partitions instead of slices. You can have 4 partitons on a drive (4 is hardcoded in the partition table size and a location) so you can add additional partitions for swap and /usr if you want. Any partitions you use for filesystems like /usr the boot manager will see and offer to boot them. They won't boot of course. Swap partitions are ignored by the boot manager. Otherwise, I'd suspect it is a problem with the 6.2 you are using then. If you try with a boot within the 1024 (I wouldn't push that to the limit I'd say try like 950 cylinders) then I would try an earlier version such as 6.1 or 6.0. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

CPU is a AMD64 Sempron 3000+. --- FreeBSD rad.net 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Sun Apr 8 12:39:46 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RADIUM amd64 --- --- Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad10s1a496M 70M386M15%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad10s1e496M 18K456M 0%/tmp /dev/ad10s1f 67G3.9G 58G 6%/usr /dev/ad10s1d1.9G1.0G761M58%/var /dev/da0.eli9.9T4.0T5.1T44%/mnt --- The raid contains one 10 terabyte volume, encrypted with GELI --- Geom name: da0.eli EncryptionAlgorithm: AES-CBC KeyLength: 128 Crypto: software UsedKey: 0 Flags: NONE Providers: 1.

They where gone, but the filesystem did not report some additional 3TB to be free and after unmounting and remounting the filesystem the files were back where the belonged... This just happened some minutes later again, now with only 2500 files dis- and -reappearing again. Questions until now: 1. 10TB as a single volume, too big for good? (fsck time: 30 min with softupdates) 2. GELI unstable on big disks and/or AMD64? 3. Why is Samba so slow? 4. Does the crypto-framwork gain speed advantages from dual-core CPUs? 5. Will the GPT-stuff change over the next releases in a way I need to do DUMP/RESTORE? Thanks for your patience...

Re: Automatic means for spinning down disks available?
I'm with you, Jules! I still haven't gotten FreeBSD to boot on my one file server, but am concerned about my client's power bill. I had suggested a SAN toaster, but then he produced this 1998 vintage server from the back of a closet. It has redundant 300W power supply, 4 case fans that run constantly, 6 SCSI drives, a CD-ROM drive, floppy drive, tape drive. I had to disable ACPI to get the FreeBSD installer to boot, so no power management. Surely the wonderful folks who produce free Windows alternatives realize that Intel and Microsoft have effectively abandoned many older hardware platforms don't meet Vista's requirements, but (could) happily run alternative software. For starters, how about getting this mail group on a proper list server? I'll gladly help if there is anything I can do other than get in the way...

Re: Terabyte harddisks, GELI, AMD64, Samba and Zen...
Was your 17mb/sec a drag drop from a windows client? 17Mb/sec is about right, as Windows deals with that as a single threaded I/O operation. You can stuff a GigE pipe from a windows machine to a netapp or some other solid CIFS server if you can fire up multiple threads to copy with. So..dont feel bad, thats just the cap of a single threaded copy from windows.
