Re: Getting errors writing large iso image to DVD (bug in atapi driver?)
Yes, TDK disks are x16 for writing, so as Pioneer burner and software. Once I lowered maximum speed to x4 problem seems to go away. Thank you for advice, Yuri Just a question: do both DVD disks and DVD writer have a maximum speed limit x16? I am asking because I experienced similar problem on TDK disks; in my case the speed limit was x8. The writer managed to successfully write some disks while failing on others. After I have limited speed to x4, all the disks were written successfully. It looks like when I go maximum, the disk quality is in question. Have you tried setting the speed limit below the maximum? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: fsck failing

If I run just fsck then, it runs successfully but doesn't check twed0s1a which means on reboot the problem is still there. If I force fsck on that partition by running `fsck /dev/twed0s1a` then I get the same errors as above. Please let me know what other steps I should take to get the system booting again. Thanks in advance, Your /etc/fstab has that filesystem marked for a later secondary fsck run, not the primary one. You can run fsck manually on any filesystem, just specify that on the fsck commandline. fsck works better when the system is in single user mode, on non-mounted filesystems. If fsck cannot fix errors, run diagnostics from the hard drive manufacturer on the hard drive(s) as they are likely failing. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

SSH VPN Help
I'm hoping some of you can help me out a bit with this...I'm trying to setup remote access of my laptop at work via SSH tunnels between a FreeBSD box at the office and my FreeBSD firewall at home. XP Laptop (work) - FreeBSD (work) - FreeBSD (home) - Mac (home) or Mac (remote) I understand that I need to set up a reverse SSH tunnel from FBSD (work) to FBSD (home). It's the tying in of the XP box and my Mac to either end that I'm having troubles with. Should those connections also be done via SSH tunnels or should I use port redirection on the FSBD boxes via ipfilter or an equivalent? Then end goal is to be able to use VNC on either my home Mac or with my Mac laptop remotely to control my XP laptop I'll leave at work. Any suggestions would be helpful. A general Idea of how everything should interact is basically what I'm looking for. I'll figure it out by trial and error once I have a rough plan.

Quoting spellberg_robert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i finally ran into a situation where my existing approaces are no longer satisfactory. i never bought office. i have a twelve_year_old version of wordperfect from [ at that time ] novell that still works just fine [ i first used wordperfect in the early 1980's; why change ? ]. it doesn't recognize new ms formats. sometimes, i can use wordpad on my win_98_se box that still works; but not always. my lawyer insists on hard_copy and snail_mail, so my principal application is, actually, obviated. if files only had a few dozen lines, i could edit them by hand in vi. i simply did not have enough situations to demand a more sophisticated approach; now, i do. i started here [ over 1000 entries ] http://www.freebsd.org/ports/textproc.html where i found nothing relevant under doc and where i found word2x, which looks --really-- old and where i found wv, which seemed more promising. wv by itself could probably do most of what you're looking for. It includes a wvText binary which produces quasi-formatted text-only output from .doc input. It also includes wvHtml, wvPS, wvPDF, wvLatex, etc. Others have already commented on the GUI-based Word workalikes available but I'll add my own. I like Abiword since it's lightweight but I tend to use OpenOffice.org on modern-ish machines since it can handle more bells and whistles (and if I'm using a word processor instead of a text editor then bells and whistles are frequently the reason). Koffice/kword is between the other two in regard to complexity and is a good alternative if something doesn't work quite right elsewhere. All can read and write Word documents compatible with the 97/XP/2003 versions of Office. Not sure about the Word 2007 format. -JN searching the questions and newbies mail archives, i found antiword and catdoc, but this is from 2002_feb. while reading up on wv, i found this http://www.abisource.com/ which caused me to search. i found this http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=abiwordstype=all both of these seem to jog my memory, but my memory my application is to exchange text files, by e_mail, with someone who thinks ms products are the be_all and end_all [ after all, if everyone is spending thousands of dollars on software, just like he is, what makes me so special ? ]. i anticipate acquiring other people like this in the near future, so my time on this just may be well_spent. in general, these are not the kind of folks who find manipulating files intuitively obvious. yet, i may find that i have to give them special instruction. i am not looking for something wonderful, just reasonably competent and reasonably current. if, in addition to my desired direction, i can convert a 7_bit_ascii to a .doc file for his benefit, that's some further whining that i can avoid. i strongly suspect that, as soon as this becomes a solved problem, ms changes something critical, so this may be a fool's errand. none_the_less, i'll give it a try. which one or several things are generally accepted for this format_conversion task ? is this abiword one of them or do i seek something else ? if something else, can someone point me in a useful direction [ whether or not it is something i have named ] ? while 6.2 and, soon, 7.x are de rigeur, if it works on 4.11 [ very long story ], that's a plus. thanks whole bunches in advance.

rc and faster bootups
Hi I've been looking into speeding the FreeBSD bootup speed (currently on my laptop it is sitting at 2 minutes with autologin with KDE). One thing I noticed is the option of rc_fast_and_loose which did not work... My first question: is there any reason that rc_fast_and_loose is still around since many scripts simply don't work with it or should someone try clean up the scripts instead? Running FreeBSD on a SMP machine it still only runs a sequential boot process. Is it possible (and is someone working on it) to run the startup scripts in parallel. I have been looking into it and managed to write (in python, just proof of concept) rcorder replacement that outputs sufficient information in order to run the boot scripts in parallel. If someone is willing to mentor me I am eager to continue my investigation. Thank you.

sh script difficulties (running parallel functions)
Hi,
I am having a hard time getting (very complex script for me) to work. The
basic idea is that this script runs a bunch of tarkets, many of which are
time consuming but low on resources (such as downloading files). Now if I
run the tarkets all at once (given some dependancy issues) it greatly speeds
up the process (about 5 time speed increase). However I do not know how to
do this using sh...
Example
#!/bin/sh
worker1() {
# Copy some files
}
worker2() {
# Download some files
}
worker3() {
# Do something else
}
. # and so on
run_jobs() {
worker1
worker2
worker3
# !!! Somehow wait for over workers to finish before continuing !!!
}
#Finished
Furthermore, how can signals be handled such that the signals get
accumulated and once all the other workers have finished the signals get
passed on (appropriately)
Thank you.

libstdc++ extentions
Hi, list. I'd like to use some code from the /usr/include/c++/4.2/ext/pb_ds part of libstdc++ on RELENG_7--particularly their patricia trie implementation. The various patricia trie headers, however, attempt to include ext/pb_ds/detail/type_utils.hpp, among other things, which don't exist. I notice that GCC from ports installs with all of said headers, and indeed, I can use the patricia trie code if I compile it with, for example, G++ 4.2.2 from ports. I also notice that the headers missing from /usr/include/c++/4.2/ext/pb_ds exist in /usr/src/contrib/libstdc++/include/ext/pb_ds, so my question is: is there a way to make installworld, etc. install them? I could copy them over manually and whatnot, but I'm curious about a proper solution.

The wait shell builtin is part of what you're after.
You probably will need to trap the signals you're interested in
catching. Just a
trap 'int=1' INT
wait
trap - INT
if [ x$int = x1 ]; then ... ; fi
should do it.

You mean trapping ^C in the parent so that you can't stop the script
until all the workers are done? That's more complicated to do in a
shell script. Masking ^C completely is easy using the trap builtin ,
but catching it and then doing a kill -INT $$ after all your workers
have completed is more complicated since the wait command will exit
when a signal is received, and I don't think it will tell you why it
exited (all children done, or got a signal).

Yes, with one caveat. You need to run mergebase.sh or manually create

Isn't the default X11BASE for 6.2 still on /usr/X11R6/ I thought it
still was, then you will run into trouble again when you are going to
update Xorg again in the future. So I think you will need a
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in /etc/make.conf

skip bad block in QIC-150 tar
I'm trying to recover some files from a 5 yr old tar on a QIC-150 tape. Unfortunately, there's a bad block on the tape; tar barfs and quits when it gets to it: tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format I managed to get a complete directory listing using tar t on my first attempt, before the tape became unreadable; it had to work at it but apparently managed to eventually get the block read. I've cleaned the tape and retried multiple times, to no avail. I've tried omitting the directory containing the bad block, but that hasn't prevented it from terminating. Anyone know a way to get around this?

attach 100 {

crw-r- 1 root operator0, 166 Oct 21 13:08 /dev/da0s1
What's the right way to handle this?
create a new file /etc/devfs.rules with contents
[system=10]
add path 'da*' mode 660 group operator
Then in /etc/rc.conf add
devfs_system_ruleset=system
and restart devfs (/etc/rc.d/devfs restart)
This should do the job, for futher reading devfs.rules has a manpage.

Re: FreeBSD 6.2 with Xorg 7.3

I do not trust this at all. I would bet doing a portupgrade would break xorg

Is there a poosiblilty to revert the upgrade of the ports tree back to the

Isn't the default X11BASE for 6.2 still on /usr/X11R6/ I thought it
still was, then you will run into trouble again when you are going to
update Xorg again in the future. So I think you will need a

Suck it up and do the upgrade. 6.9-7.2 was moderately difficult, but
with the new whizzy modular Xorg, it's only a one or two command job.

Re: 'break' system call man page is missing?
On Thu, 1 Nov 2007, Yuri wrote: What is the condition when errno=22 is returned? I figured this out myself by looking into the kernel source code. It is much easier to use man errno. But there still should be a man page for this since this seems to be only (or at least one of the very few) system calls w/out documentation. I am not sure I know what you mean by system call break. There is an internal shell command break (as you should learn by entering man break, which takes you to the builtins man page). There is no external break command that I know of. Because it is an internal shell command, it is documented in the man page for your shell, which in the case of system in the c lib, is sh. 1) man break takes you to the builtin commands man page. 2) a table on that page tells you break is not an external command, but is an internal command in csh and sh. 3) man system tells you system executes a command in an sh shell. 4) sh man tells you that break causes the end of execution of the innermost loop(s) or in other words, break is meaningless unless it is in a loop, which you would be told in plain text if you entered break at the command line in an sh shell. So, do you mean some other kind of break command in some other context? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM
Hi, I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction?

You can use dump over ssh easily enough, here are my notes from using it to create multiple production machines from a single test server. There are better ways I am sure, but this is quick and easy if you are familiar with FreeBSD installs. Note #1 In the first comment line I say to boot the live file system CD, that is what you would do in the VM, just as you would normally boot an installer CD, but use a Live filesystem CD instead. Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

(34) arent 's ipv6 lookups? as i mentioned in another thread, i cant get the kernel to compile right now (thus eliminating the INET6 line), so im trying to figure another way out to stop this behavior). It's not required you remove IPv6 from the kernel in order to receive proper DNS A record responses, and even if IPv6 name services take precedence, it shouldn't cause such a delay (unless all of your boxen/DNS servers point to the same forwarders that cause this issue). I have several machines under 4.10 to 6.2, and at least two running 7.0 that are v6 enabled that don't have this issue. I do run IPv6 in my network with a legitimate block, however, I do not have any IPv6 name servers that contain any outside DNSv6 records. That said, more particulars are needed to find out what is happening. The most important thing to know in order to break this down is what name server(s) are you using on this particular server to resolve names. If you can post the output from the following whilst logged into one of the problematic machines, it will likely help: # cat /etc/resolv.conf If your box is a DHCP client, I won't know what to look for in that output. If by chance your box attains it's IP information via DHCP, then the next following output (particularly the last few lines) will help: # dig www.srh.noaa.gov Your queries may or may not be detrimental to the time in which you receive your DNS responses. I would personally lean toward the latter, given the lack of information. Don't go about recompiling the kernel without v6 support yet. It seems DNS is timing out for you somewhere, so post the above requested info and it can go from there.

hi there,
wouldn't it be your browser requesting the IPv6 address? you can check easy
enough by pinging any website (which you haven't resolved yet) and see if u get
the same calls.
unless you are pointing your resolver to localhost, and your local named is
requesting the v6 records. Look into disabling this behaviour @ named.conf.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 11:10 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: skip bad block in QIC-150 tar I'm trying to recover some files from a 5 yr old tar on a QIC-150 tape. Unfortunately, there's a bad block on the tape; tar barfs and quits when it gets to it: tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format I managed to get a complete directory listing using tar t on my first attempt, before the tape became unreadable; it had to work at it but apparently managed to eventually get the block read. I've cleaned the tape and retried multiple times, to no avail. I've tried omitting the directory containing the bad block, but that hasn't prevented it from terminating. Anyone know a way to get around this? Untar from the non-rewinding device. When it hits the bad spot and aborts, just rerun tar again - it will start up the tape and forward it looking for the end of file mark that signifies the end of the current file and the beginning of the next. You may need to rerun it a couple times to get past the bad section. You can also use the mt fsf command to bump it forward.

RE: problem with 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of eng. Anatoli Marinov Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 12:41 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: problem with 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL Hi Guys, I have several 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL NIC's but they work very bad with 7.0 and 6.2. Those cards and the xl driver are crap, hae been ever since the driver first appeared in FreeBSD. Occasionally someone diddles with the driver trying to make it work better without any real success. 3com appears completely uninterested in helping. I can buy Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 cards out of the junk bin from the local computer recycler for $3 a card. I'm sure if you look you can find a similar thing, and that's what you need to do rather than put time and effort into a card/driver combo that has never worked very well under FreeBSD.
