Re: Mixer resets

But I discovered that every time I invoked gmixer it reset the vol to 0:0. It continues to do that, and I'm wondering if anyone else has that experience with gmixer. Could that be a bug? Are there other graphical mixer alternatives? You could install the gkrellm and gkrellmvolume2 ports; then you'll always have a slider for each mixer channel available. I may give that a try. It does help, in this case, to have a graphical interface. It's pretty difficult to get things adjusted properly while switching back and forth between fldigi and the command line. An old fashioned alternative is xmixer (or xmix?) which may have less dependencies than other programs. An idea for gmixer: Eventually there's an option for preset values, or a kind of configuration file which is read right after program startup, and if such a file doesn't exists, zero values are assumed. Another mixer GUI worth mentioning is aumix / xaumix (Gtk) which features both a graphical and a text mode GUI for adjusting levels. Because I've used this program in the past, I can tell you that it's not resetting all the values.

Performance problem with samba/zfs
Hiya
I export a few samba shares from a FreeBSD amd64 server and I've been editing
text files on one of the shares via a Windows box.
This /usually/ works fine, but occasionally I'll get a pause of several seconds
when I save back a modified file. No errors are generated on the server, but it
causes the smbd process takes a few % of available cpu time, according to top.
Could this be due to the infamous seekdir/seekdir issue between samba and
FreeBSD? Some of the directories do contain hundreds of files. This post
suggests it has been fixed though: http://www.vnode.ch/fixing_seekdir
The server is running -STABLE ('FREEBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE'), as built on
2008/09/08. The file system is zfs. I'm using samba 3.0.34,1, built from ports.
Any ideas, anyone?
Cheers,
--Jon

I think it's more simple with sed. Use the global substitution
function, such as
% sed s/\t/:/g
See that \t or maybe [ \t]* may be the appropriate field delimiter.
Instead of :, take , or . as separator, just as you need.
Another solution could be awk.
% awk '{ gsub([\t]*, :, $0); print $0; }'
If you need additional re-ordering, use -F or FS to specify
the field separator, and then printf %s:%s:%s\n, $2, $1, $3;.
These would be the easiest (I think) substitution approaches.

Re: Performance problem with samba/zfs

Hiya
I export a few samba shares from a FreeBSD amd64 server and I've been
editing text files on one of the shares via a Windows box.
This /usually/ works fine, but occasionally I'll get a pause of several
seconds when I save back a modified file. No errors are generated on the
server, but it causes the smbd process takes a few % of available cpu time,
according to top.
Could this be due to the infamous seekdir/seekdir issue between samba and
FreeBSD? Some of the directories do contain hundreds of files. This post
suggests it has been fixed though: http://www.vnode.ch/fixing_seekdir
The server is running -STABLE ('FREEBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE'), as built on
2008/09/08. The file system is zfs. I'm using samba 3.0.34,1, built from
ports.
Any ideas, anyone?
If you can reproduce this behavior using local access or ssh access (taking
samba out of the equivalent) I would take it over to freebsd-fs.
The seekdir is indeed fixed.
If not, increase verbosity for smbd, maybe it spits out a hint why it is
taking so long (smells like locking).

Re: Why there are so many binary packages missing on FTP?

So I deleted kde-4.1.0 only to find out that there are no binaries for both kde-4.1.0 and kde-4.2.0. So I had to build kde-4.2.0 for many hours, again, only to find out that it doesn't work as well as kde-4.1.0. Desktop Folder applet doesn't show anything for ke-4.1.0. Applets show contents of other folders but there are no scrollbars in them. Also bottom panel doesn't have any colors and looks ugly. So now I a stuck with broken kde-4.2.0 and there is no easy way to go anywhere. I sent similar question to k...@freebsd.org but got no answer. So why kde-4.1.0 and kde-4.2.0 binaries are missing on FTP? And does kde4-4.2.0 work for anybody?

How do I see disk IO for specific ZFS file systems?
I realize I can see per device iostats with zpool or gstat, but I am interested in specific mount points. Is that possible? What are the read/writes for /tank/BBB.monkeybrains.net? The READS are low and then jump to a higher value and I'm trying to track it down.
