I think you don't need such lines in iscsi.conf


 Login session: 
 postgres01# iscontrol -v -n path1 

After that what do you see in 'dmesg -a'?
And do you have logs at the iscsi target (3par)?

 Update: This is strange. Apparently, sound works under VLC (default

I had the same problem. Sound is being sent to /dev/dsp0 by default,
which is the NV card. Try setting hw.snd.default_unit with sysctl.
Probably sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=4 would work, from what I see, you
should hear sound if you cat a file to /dev/dsp4.

[SOLVED] sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2

2011-04-19 Thread Zhang Weiwu, Beijing
I am actually amazed nobody nor the handbook mentioned OSS to me, 
because after learned this, it suddenly become obvious this option 
should be tried right after failure of snd_driver. In fact, the sound 
card in-topic is Ali M5455, the first on the list of sound card 
supported by OSS.


http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/FreeBSD.html

The solution is as simple as 'pkg_add -vr oss'. done. solved.

Consider OSS supported sound card list is rather long, it should be a 
must recommendation after snd_driver.


Again amazed that lspci in Linux showed keyword M5455, but pciconf -lv 
didn't show keyword M5455. Having the keyword it's only a minute to 
figure out which is the right driver.

redirecting command output depending on exit status

2011-04-19 Thread Bastien Semene

Hi list,

I have a cron task set up using lockf.

I'd like to redirect one exit status to /dev/null :

it (lockf command) returns one of the exit codes defined in
 sysexits(3), as follows:

 EX_TEMPFAIL   The specified lock file was already locked by another
   process.

 EX_CANTCREAT  The lockf utility was unable to create the lock 
file, e.g.,

   because of insufficient access privileges.

 EX_USAGE  There was an error on the lockf command line.

 EX_OSERR  A system call (e.g., fork(2)) failed unexpectedly.

 EX_SOFTWARE   The command did not exit normally, but may have been 
sig-

   naled or stopped.

I don't care about the EX_TEMPFAIL output as I consider it as a 
successful exit status, not an error.


I there a trick to do that in a short way ?

7.3 - optimizing filesystem - cache all metadata

2011-04-19 Thread cronfy
Hello!

I have FreeBSD 7.3 server that is used for web sites. It performs many
filesystem operations, so filesystem performance is very important. I am
looking how can it be improved.

I already use vfs.lookup shared=1, it helped me some time ago to decrease
CPU time usage on filesystem operations. I also increased
vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem to 67108864. But It still sometimes takes several
seconds to ls directory that s not in the cache and fstat() calls sometimes
slow when IO is high.

Can filesystem performance be improved more? I think performance would
benefit from increasing memory used for file metadata cache. One of the most
frequent operations is fstat(). If it could be possible to tell FreeBSD to
keep all metadata cache in memory and never clear it, all repeating fstat()
operations would become very fast.

How can I see how much memory is used for filesystem cache? Is it possible
to increase this memory and increase time that cache entry is keeped in the
memory (probably to infinity)?

Thanks in advance.

make all vs buildworld

2011-04-19 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

Can someone tell me what the difference between using /usr/src#make 
buildworld vs /usr/src/#make all.  I know that FreeBSD uses
make buildkernel and make buildworld to routinely build the kernel and 
userland.  Yet, I had an issue with a recent buildworld (after buildkernel).
It error'd out building a kerberos5 library and I lost patience trying 
to figure it out.  I tried /usr/src#make all and the build went to 
completion

without error.  What would I hurt if I then did /usr/src/#make install?

Does padlock(4) driver support VIA Nano processors?

2011-04-19 Thread Arto Pekkanen
The padlock(4) man page says that it supports hardware accelerated aes/RNG in 
VIA C3, C7 and Eden processors.


The new Nano processor series also includes Padlock, so this processor supported 
by FreeBSD's padlock driver although the man page does not mention it?


I am thinking of buying an M830/Nano platform to build a low power custom NAS 
with encrypted volumes and thus it is necessary to get hardware acceleration for 
geli.


Thank you for your answer beforehand.

 Apparently it works, but I put in some small speakers, but could not
 get music to play.

 On some machines, speakers do not activate automatically,
 they need a driver that switches the connector to active.
 Also check mixer settings. ALWAYS check them. :-)



 Installed mplayer from within ports,
 # cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
 # make install clean
 and tried to play some mp3's and got a codec error :(, since machine
 is 64 bit installing codecs from mplayer site does not work :(, and
 linux compatibility is not installed.

 Use command line tools like madplay or mpg123 for testing.
 Also consider using xmms as a versatile MP3 (and OGG/Vorbis)
 media player.

Mplayer played some ogg files that I had correctly and sound is working :)

snd_hda did the trick :)


 Sorry for drifting out of
 original sound problem, but I also tried to play a dvd and it failed
 to load since atapi cam was not  in /boot/loader.conf because cd/dvd
 drive is old style(not SATA)

This is now working correctly :), added the command in /boot/loader.conf

 That doesn't matter. I have parallel ATA devices here that
 play nicely with ATAPICAM (mainly in use for CD and DVD
 recording). But you shouldn't need to have ATAPICAM in order
 to play DVDs. I know that mplayer has a configuration option
 for that... maybe it's sufficient to link /dev/acd0 to /dev/dvd

link exists /dev/dvd - /dev/acd0
but dvd does not play :(

 (per /etc/devfs.conf) to provide the default location, or
 use -dvd-device dev to name it on the command line. Also
 make sure you have the required codecs installed.
Since the machine is 64 bit having the codecs does no good :(, I ran
the configuration and tried to install Realplayer which tried to pull
linux compatibility which I did not want and reran config.
 Going
 through make config in mplayer (or mencoder) is always
 a good choice.


However, playing dvd's does not seem to work :(
I try to run
$ mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/acd0
and it complains about not finding some vob
Sorry for not posting exact error will do so tomorrow as soon as I can.

You can try to use the 32 bit compatibility (COMPAT32)
and then run the 32 bit version of mplayer. As I do not
own a 64 bit system, I can't be more specific.

This MAY be a codec problem. You can try the following:
First mount the DVD (cd_9660), then use mplayer on one
of the VOB files directly. Choose one of the bigger
files for this test, and maybe use mplayer's -v option
to get an idea what may be wrong - the program should
tell you about this.
