How to troubleshoot why ath0 can't connect to a passwordless wireless network?
I have a wireless network without password that my linux box easily connects to. On FreeBSD 'ifconfig ath0 up scan' command shows it. 'ifconfig ath0 ssid my-ssid up' brings interface to 'associated' state. But dhclient fails set it up. I have another device on the same system: ral0. It connect to this network without problems. What can I do to understand what may be a problem with ath0 in my case?

Intel Quad Port Bypass Adapter
Hi all, I just looked at Google and mailing list archive, but I still cannot see satisfactory answer.

xorg and nvidia
Hi everyone! I am trying to convince my girlfriend to use freebsd as a desktop in her (not so) old toshiba S2450-201 laptop. I use it in my toshiba A200 laptop and it works fine. I just install it in her laptop with a 30GB disk I have... Installation was fine. This laptop as a nvidia geforce4 420 go graphics board with 32MB. The setup of xorg.conf was made through Xorg -configure. I tested with startx and it worked. Then I installed the nvidia driver. I had to try all 3 driver versions and the only one that worked was nvidia-driver-71xx. Then reboot and then I run nvidia-xconfig. And startx... great, it worked! The nvidia logo appeared in the screen during xorg startup. Fine! Then I installed nvidia-settings. But when I try to run it it complains that it appear that I not using the NVIDIA X driver. But I am!! It also said that NV-CONTROL extension version 1.6 is too old and the minimum required version is 1.11. In my xorg.conf I have 1024x768 resolution, but xorg is with 800x600. I also dont have the VSR and HSR for this laptop. I just cant find it anywhere... Can someone help me with this please?

zfs trauma from locate?

For RAID10, you first create mirrored pairs of drives, then you stripe across all the mirrors. This is superior to RAID0+1 where you divide your drives into two equal pools, create a stripe across all the drives in each pool, and then mirror the stripes. Raw to usable space ratio is the same, performance characteristics are similar and good either way (some workloads, particularly those involving lots of small random IOs are particularly favourable on RAID10 (eg like the usage pattern of most RDBMses) whereas sequentially streaming large single files is happiest on RAID0+1 (eg. recording or playing video streams)). However imagine a RAID consisting of 2N drives. If one drive fails, then in RAID10, *one* of your N mirrors is degraded, and the rest work normally. In RAID0+1, it's one of the 2 *stripes* that is degraded -- effectively taking out half of your drives. Or to put it another way: given one drive has already died and the RAID is degraded, in either scenario, just one more disk death can take the RAID out completely. However with RAID10 there's exactly 1 drive whose death could have that effect -- failure of any of the other 2N-2 drives will degrade the RAID further, but it will still keep working. With RAID0+1 if the second disk to fail is any of the N drives from the other stripe, it will kill the whole RAID array. the best is gmirror+gstripe. of course for those who want to pay there are a lot of hardware solutions. Hey I'm all for saving money, but I'm unsure of the reliability of a 'software' solution vs a hardware one. Not to mention my biggest concern which is the failure of the Boot drive and how to recover from that using software raid. Software striping and mirroring is extremely reliable -- probably more so than using a hardware RAID card as there's simply less to go wrong. On the other hand hardware RAID offers some big performance advantages by being able to cache data in battery backed RAM[*] on the card, instead of requiring you to wait until it's been written to persistent storage on the drives themselves. While you can certaily boot from a gmirror RAID1, I don't believe it's possible to boot from a gstripe -- but because this all works via the geom framework, you can create stripes / mirrors at the filesystem level -- so you can have a small separate RAID1 to boot from and to hold the OS (either a dedicated pair of disks, or a pair of equal sized partitions, and then create a RAID10 over the rest of the disks to hold your data. I believe there is no requirement for the component parts of a gstripe to all be the same size Cheers, Matthew [*] For mirroring and striping, the only real justification for using hardware RAID is the performance benefit from the Battery Backup Unit on the RAID card. For RAID5 while a BBU is a *really good idea* it can justify itself by offloading parity calculations from the main CPU. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW Thank you, this is a very well-written response and I appreciate the time you took to type it all up.

Re: Shrink a Slice? FreeBSD 7.1
Thanks for your great info, the only problem is that I don't want to cause any trouble to my current system and I needed to fix this quickly. I already install the system and everything is working, I have to built a system and test your procedure step by step. This info u give to us is very important, I had done this with Linux before, and is easy, but with FreeBSD is the first time I need to do this. I will let u know my results ASAP. Thanks again for your help Jerry. On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 2:23 PM, Jerry McAllister jerr...@msu.edu wrote: On Thu, Feb 05, 2009 at 12:19:13PM -0800, perikillo wrote: Hi people. I have been googling without any good info about: How to shrink a slice? Case: I installed a new server for mysql, is working, I already install all the ports I need, them I spend a lot of hours yesterday with this baby, now this is my current disk layout: /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1d on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1g on /backups (ufs, local, soft-updates) What I want to do is to shrink the slice /dev/ad0s1g /dev/ad0s1g is a partition, not a slice. /dev/ad0s1 is the slice. MicroSloth usage of the terms is different and confuses people sometimes. As far as I know neither growfs(8) nor tunefs(8) can shrink the disk allocated to a partition. The only way is to dump each of the filesystems to some other reliable media (maybe tape or a large USB disk) and then repartition that slice to be the sizes you want.Use dump(8) to make the dumps and then check the dump files out before starting the repartitioning. First you have to build a filesystem on the USB drive. You should be able to use bsdlabel to create a single partition that covers the whole drive. But, if your FreeBSD or BIOS is old enough it might not go that big, so you will need to break it down in to smaller slices and make a partition in each. (I have had to do that. But if it is 7.xx it should not be necessary) To break it up, get the gparted utility. Download its boot image and use it to break up the USB disk in to slices that your FreeBSD will handle. You need to have it make all what it calls (in the MS way) Primary Partitions, but those are what are called slices in FreeBSD land. Don't get tempted to use gparted to shrink your ad0s1 slice because it will not work right. That will just trash the current partitions. It is not what you are looking for. Either if your FreeBSD will handle the whole USB or after you have it broken up, then build a partition on each slice of the USB using bsdlabel. Don't make it bootable or write a boot sector on it. Then run newfs(8) on it to make a filesystem. This bsdlabel and newfs can be done while the system is running. Then, take the system down and run the dumps.You can do the dumps from single user mode or boot a fixit image from the install CD. You will need to do the repartitioning and restore the dumps from the fixit anyway so you could just start there. Boot the machine from the fixit disk - create a 'holographic' image as they call it. Fixit is usually on disc1. Run the dumps. Lets say you are doing the dumps to a USB drive that comes up as /dev/da0 in the fixit boot and your current disk still is comes up with the name /dev/ad0 . First, make up mount points for all your filesystems that you want to dump plus for the filesystem[s] on the USB drive. NOTE: That the fixit runs from a memory resident filesystem so whatever you create there will disappear on boot. Anyway, skip dumping /tmp and /dev is a pretend filesystem. mkdir /oldroot mkdir /oldusr mkdir /oldvar mkdir /oldbkup mkdir /usbdrive (You can actually make the dumps from the devices rather than mounting them, but I have never gotten in to that habit) Mount those partitions mount /dev/ad0s1a /oldroot mount /dev/ad0s1d /oldusr mount /dev/ad0s1e /oldvar mount /dev/ad0s1g /oldbkup mount /dev/da0s1 /usbdrive(This device name might be different depending on how you make it. Some possibilities are: /dev/da0s1If you just newfs the slice without making a partition in it /dev/da0s1a If you make a slice with fdisk and a partition with bsdlabel /dev/da0aIf you make a partition with bsdlabel without making a slice Now do the dumps dump 0af /usbdrive/rootdump /oldroot dump 0af /usbdrive/usrdump /oldusr dump 0af /usbdrive/vardump /oldvar dump 0af /usbdrive/bkupdump /oldbkup This will take a while depending on media you use. By the way, to tape it would go to /dev/nsa0 rather than /usbdrive/oldroot, etc Once the dumps are done, you may want to reboot and mount that USB drive or read the tape and look at the dumps to make sure they can be read.

Of course, you should confirm that your system will boot with the RAID in a degraded state and that rebuilding the RAID will continue even if interrupted by a reboot. gmirror(8) passes those tests.

wildcards don't work in sh shell for FAT32 filesystem
Why do pathnames containing a wildcard work in the tcsh shell regardless of the target filesystem, but do not work in the sh shell if the target filesystem is FAT32? The following sequence begins in the tcsh shell by mounting a FAT32 partition from a USB thumb drive. /tmp is in a UFS2 partition. There are no files with fish in their names in either location. This is happening in FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Why do the last four commands not have the same result? tcsh# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt tcsh# rm -f /tmp/fish* rm: No match. tcsh# rm -f /tmp/*fish rm: No match. tcsh# rm -f /mnt/fish* rm: No match. tcsh# rm -f /mnt/*fish rm: No match. tcsh# sh sh# rm -f /tmp/fish* sh# rm -f /tmp/*fish sh# rm -f /mnt/fish* rm: /mnt/fish*: Invalid argument sh# rm -f /mnt/*fish rm: /mnt/*fish: Invalid argument FWIW, the context of this discovery was trying to use the grub-install script from the GRUB port to install its boot loader on a FAT32 thumb drive.

Do your own DNS. Your ISP chokes in ('IPv6') look ups. If you're not
allowed to, still run a local resolver with aggressive neg ttl caching.
See the numerous tutorials on the web on how to run your own resolver.
