Can't mount NTFS
Hello list, I'm running 6.2-RELEASE-p9, 32bit, and dual-boot XP for quite some time. Yesterday mounting my NTFS partition wouldn't work. I have 2 partitions on xp, C and D, which are ad12s1 and ad12s2. I can mount ad12s1 fine, but the other one doesn't work (it was fine couple days ago): deimos# mount_ntfs /dev/ad12s2 /mnt/win mount_ntfs: /dev/ad12s2: Invalid argument Searching around led me to this site: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/mount_ntfs.8.html Where they say: "If the attempt to mount NTFS gives you an error like this: # mount -t ntfs /dev/wd0k /mnt mount_ntfs: /dev/wd0k on /mnt: Invalid argument make sure that appropriate partition has correct entry in the disk label, particularly that the partition offset is correct. If the NTFS partition is the first partition on the disk, the offset should be '63' on i386 (see disklabel(8)). mbrlabel(8) could help you to set up the disk label correctly." That doesn't help me much though. fdisk says it does indeed start at offset 63. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm running 8.0-RELEASE amd64, and various applications randomly coredump and exit with signal 10; this has started apparently after installing numpy from ports, which also pulled gcc44. Right after that basically all apps i had running crashed, and they wouldn't start. The error was something about unrecognized symbols or something in ld-elf-something.

Re: ld-elf related problems
Thanks all; This is a fresh install and all ports are up to date. I don't have the time to debug and fiddle with all the applications that are crashing, so i'll just do a clean reinstall of the OS, and hope that it won't happen again (won't be installing numpy). As a sidenote, i installed numpy on another box which had gcc44 already installed, along with the /etc/make.conf and libmap.conf settings specified in the handbook (which i also added to this system, to no avail), and there are no crashes there. Slightly off-topic, as stated above, this second box is set up to use gcc44 for ports, and i'm seeing quite a noticeable performance improvement with PostgreSQL, compared to when it's compiled with base gcc. This kind of sucks, because i have more work to do in order to get more performance, extra work and complications that add up when doing multiple installations. It certainly adds to the frustration knowing that there are no real technical reasons for this... ___ 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"

gdb question
Hello list, I'm playing with a small nasm executable, is there any way i can get gdb to show me the deadlisting, and allow me to break at a certain offset, without any debugging symbols? Since my code is raw assembly, seeing the sourcecode file or the deadlisting is the exact same. Atm i'm doing like this, and it doesn't seem to work: (gdb) file wp Reading symbols from wp...(no debugging symbols found)...done. (gdb) break 0x8048099 No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. (gdb) run Starting program: wp warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint Program exited with code 0267. Using gdbtui seems yield the exact same result. What i really want is to see the deadlisting and be able to step through it, seeing what happens with the registers, stack, etc. Can gdb do that?

I did a "make deinstall" and a "make reinstall" for portupgrade, which
bumped the version mumber.
It works now.
Compiling new versions, hopefully everything will turn out ok.
I'll report back.

As a side note, i used portupgrade, not portupgrade-devel.
I got a few ports reported as failed, but it turned out they were ok.
They only thing i needed to do was to change the path of the modules
in xorg.conf, to reflect the new location.

pf nat dual gateways
Hi,
I would need some help in getting this working.
The idea is pretty simple, i have a box with 3 NICs; 2 for net pipes,
and one for LAN.
Routing and NAT works, however, i need that requests to u_ips always
get NATed through u_if, and everything else through ext_if.
As it is now, everything goes through ext_if.
ext_if="tun0"
int_if="vr0"
u_if="ed0"
ext_services="{}"
int_services="{53,80}"
rdp_port="{3232}"
rdp_srv="{192.168.0.250}"
u_ips="{123.123.123.123}"
u_gw="192.168.1.1"
localnet=$int_if:network
set skip on lo0
set optimization aggressive
set limit states 5
scrub in all
nat on $ext_if from $localnet to any -> ($ext_if)
nat on $u_if from $localnet to $u_ips -> ($u_if)
rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port $rdp_port ->
$rdp_srv port 3389
antispoof for $ext_if
antispoof for $u_if
block drop all
pass in inet proto tcp from any to any port $ext_services \
flags S/SA keep state
pass in inet proto {tcp,udp} from $localnet to $int_if port
$int_services \ flags S/SA keep state
pass out all keep state
pass from $localnet to any keep state
And here's ifconfig:
vr0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu
1500 options=2808
ether 00:13:d4:a7:84:f9

As you can see, u_if(ed0) has IP addr 192.168.1.5, and the gateway is

Any help is appreciated.

speed in extracting rar files - unrar vs. 7z
Hey, Does anyone know a faster way of extracting big rar files, or why is it so slow? I did a quick test with time (extracting the same ~800MiB file, consisting of split archives): unrar: real4m29.637s user0m4.969s sys 0m3.131s 7z: real3m50.020s user0m4.784s sys 0m1.821s While not a very good test, as i was having other apps idling around at the time, i did notice that neither of them were fully utilizing the CPU (Core2Duo E6550, clocked at 2.9GHz). Usage was ~8% at most. As you can see, 7z is marginally faster. The shareware WinRAR on windows seems to be better implemented (?), as it uses both cores to the fullest, and as such the time needed to extract stuff is a lot shorter. If this an implementation problem in unrar/7z, or is it the scheduler's 'fault' so to speak? Or does it have something to do with disk IO? If so, how do i check, and how can it be improved? Looking at top again, while extracting, showed both apps' state to be getblk most of the time, if it matters. I'm running 7.1-RELEASE, i386, generic kernel.
