lagg with devices that may disappear
I have two USB devices: run0/wlan0 - a wireless nic ue0 - a wired nic In my rc.conf I have these set up to lagg - (note that this is done from memory and may not be exact): # ether address also set up here ifconfig_ue0="up" wlans_ue0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport ue0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" This behaves as expected when both devices are plugged in. However, when either the ue0 or wlan0 device is removed the link goes down. In addition, if the device is reinserted I need to re-run "service netif start" before the link returns. It would be nice if removing the either nic failed over to the other one without additional work. Is there a way I can set up these devices to properly failover and return on device removal and insertion?

tuning a system for a single user
When I look for tuning guides online, or reading tuning(7) I find a lot of guides for tuning a system for multiple users or for specific purposes (web servers, file servers, etc) I am looking for specific tunables that might make the experience of using FreeBSD better. I found the sysctl kern.maxusers but I'm unsure how things affects things. Can I reduce the amount of time, memory, etc the kernel spends enforcing quota, scheduling, etc? I don't have anything particular in mind - just want to get a general set of tunables I might be interested in. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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: printf() leak?
Hi David,
> It seems printf() always alloc something and does not free it:
What compiler and what optimizations? Most compilers will optimize a
printf without any special formatting into a puts call instead of a
printf call.
For example clang -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer (which I use for clarity
here) outputs this code:
.file "leak.c"
...
main: # @main
# BB#0: # %entry
subl$12, %esp
movl$str, (%esp)
calll puts
xorl%eax, %eax
addl$12, %esp
ret
.Ltmp0:
...
str:
.asciz "Hi"
.size str, 3

> ==67840== suppressed: 4,096 bytes in 1 blocks
Lets take a look at what valgrind says immediately after this:
==14481== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v
One of the lines we get is
--14508-- used_suppression: 1 libc puts leak
Which means it is a known issue and has been specially marked as to
avoid being reported by valgrind.
Lets take a look to see where this suppression happens: in
/usr/local/lib/valgrind/default.supp we find
{
libc puts leak
Memcheck:Leak
fun:malloc
obj:/lib/libc.so.7
obj:/lib/libc.so.7
obj:/lib/libc.so.7
fun:puts
fun:main
}
After some investigation I was able to find the following commit:
http://p4db.freebsd.org/chv.cgi?CH=168767 which shows when this
suppression was added and by whom.
I trust that if you are interested in the details of why this leak is
detected you have the skills to follow up on this by yourself :-)
Thank you for trying to make FreeBSD better!

No, this is incorrect. The MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER and MAKE_JOBS_SAFE is used
internally when building a single port. When the OP is asking if he
can manually specify -j on the command line which would end up
building multiple ports in parallel. This can not be done (primarily
because there is no locking done on ports)
Certain utilities can make this process faster. For example portmaster

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/ctm-src-8/ appears to be empty and http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/ctm-users/2009-December/000226.html seems to be the last mention of CTM on any of the related mailing lists (other than a few people asking if it was down). So I have a few questions: 1) Is it still being offered and supported as a method of updating FreeBSD systems? 2) If not can the section in the handbook be removed? I have attached a patch which removes references to CTM from the handbook. Should it be applied? 3) Probably the most controversial question - but I'll ask it nonetheless. If CTM is no longer an option for updating FreeBSD is there any reason to leave it in base? Is it still being used by a sufficient number of people to maintain it? -- Eitan Adler remove-ctm.patch Description: Binary data ___ 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"

computer panics when wifi settings are touched.

Whenever I try to use ifconfig, wpa_supplicant, dhclient, or any related tool on the wlan0 interface it results in a system freeze.

I just noticed that when I put in the ssid ifconfig seems to be cycling among multiple channels (1,5, 11,12,13 ,14 and maybe others). I'm not sure what this behavior means. What would the best way see why I can't connect be? I tried $ifconfig wlan0 txpower 50 but txpower stays at 30. Is this for sure a signal strength problem? it worked when I used ndis from the same location. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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"

In the script I have "touch $0.ran" but the file does not get created.
Is there some program that would allow me to watch ACPI events? Is
there some way I could known that the key is 0x07?

enabling the "fn-f7" switch monitor functionality
I have a key which is meant to switch between the built in and an external monitor. This key is activated by fn-f7. xev does not report any activity when it is pressed. How get I run a script when it is pressed? I think this key is supposed to report some sort of ACPI event. % uname -rms FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE i386 Laptop model is Lenovo G530. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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"

I had ifconfig_wlan0="ssid MySSID DHCP" and attempted to connect to an OPEN network without being able to do so.

why do I require "WPA" in rc.conf even for open networks.
For some reason I can not connect to *any* wireless network regardless of the connection type unless I have "WPA" in /etc/rc.conf right before "DHCP". Why would I require this to connect to open networks? -- Eitan Adler ___ 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"
