Re: linux_base-c6 Skype 4.2
On Thu, 23 May 2013 20:09:35 +0200 Matthias Apitz articulated: M$ has Linux Skype 4.2 for some Linux distributions, for example for F16; would it be possible to run one of these distributions on top of linux_base-c6? Is there any work in progress I could support? I have enough systems at home running some 10-CURRENT and could use one of them for additional tests/work According to the web site, these are the minimum requirements for a Linux version of Skype 4.2.0.11 Skype for Linux 1 GHz processor or faster. 256 MB RAM. 100 MB free disk space on your hard drive. Video card driver with Xv support. Either a built-in or external microphone is required for voice calls. An internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls). Qt 4.7 • D-Bus 1.0.0 libasound2 1.0.18 PulseAudio 1.0 (optional) BlueZ 4.0.0 (optional) I saw a post, I think it was SlashDot, that the FreeBSD kernel was not robust enough to handle Skype. You might want to talk to the developers. You can always download a clean distribution of Skype from the web site and experiment with it. http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Re: filesystem advice
There isnt really a thing as better, just different. WHich is best for you depends on your requirements and resources. A zfs based solution would work on that system as its just serving a few clients, and on the assumption that they arent to demanding it should run fine. Bunging in more memory if you can will just make things better though, just dont expect anything to amazing out of the machine. If the data is important then all the data integrity features of zfs will be handy. However if you need more speed ufs will be faster on that system, at the expense of the advanced features of zfs. Its really down to you to decide whats more important.

I installed FreeBSD with raid 1 following this howto: http://www.ateamsystems.com/blog/Installing-FreeBSD-9-gmirror-GPT-partitions-raid-1 everything ok! I see that use ufs filesystem, now: I'd like have less maintenance possible direclty to machine because this server is far to me 50Km. So I can use ssh for default (and extra) maintenance. Which filesystem is better? After total crash of system (i.e.) or black-out, ufs can repair it by itself? Or better use ufs+journal? or zfs? By default, FreeBSD 9.x uses journaled soft-updates now. This will cut down the filesystem check time significantly. A filesystem check will require manual intervention when some kinds of errors are found. ZFS likes to have a lot of memory, and preferably a 64-bit machine.

Re: ZFS install on a partition
On Thu, 23 May 2013 11:00:21 +0200 Albert Shih albert.s...@obspm.fr wrote: Before I'm installing my server under 9.0 + ZFS I do some benchmarks with ionice to compare FreeBSD 9.0+ ZFS + 12 disk SATA 7200 rpm vs CentOS + H700 + 12 disk SAS 15krpm (Both are same Dell poweredge). And the ZFS+12 disk sata goes much faster than CentOS+H700+ext4 almost everywhere. Only for small file AND small record size the ZFS is slower than CentOS. Hmm I wonder if that's mostly down to the SAS drives seeking faster or between ZFS and ext4. The only real way to tell would be to give both boxes the same kind of drives. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith st...@sohara.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: 9.1 - new install questions
Hi, I don't often comment here and don't really have much to add in this case but; What have you tried to discover the answers to your questions? I just noticed that this post seemed to have been missed. some leads might be: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/relnotes.html http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4862 - have a good day, 'a5 I just installed 9.1 on a clean disk. The dmesg is at the end of this message. For the network configuration, I selected DHCP for IPv4 and SLAAC for IPv6. When I boot the PC, it appears that dhclient tries to load twice. Why does it try to load the second time? From the console log: May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: Starting dhclient. May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: DHCPACK from 10.20.1.1 May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: bound to 10.20.2.14 -- renewal in 36 seconds. May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: dhclient already running? (pid=1233). Also during the boot process, but earlier, is this message: (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY.

The disk appears to work fine, i.e., 9.1 loads up and runs OK. The above adds significantly to the boot time. If it is just informational, is there a way to bypass it?

Re: setup journaling for root partition
thanks Warren, you're right but i want to set journaling in fixit mode in fixit mode none of my partitions are mounted (mount command show no partition) but geom returns error yet. is there any way to tell geom that my partitions are unmounted?

The solution was found in man 4 geom in section DIAGNOSTICS: I had to set kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 to enable the foot shooting mode. Maybe this could help you too? For certain values of help. :) If geom won't let you write to part of a disk, it's because it thinks that part of the disk is already in use, usually by a mounted filesystem. Overwriting part of a filesystem is not guaranteed to lose data. But why take the chance? Better to boot from mfsBSD (http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/). Possibly better yet to use SUJ, which can be enabled with tunefs with the root partition mounted read-only in single user mode. SUJ has its own problems, though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
