fan control
Hi, I've just bought a Giada i20 mini-pc for my home server. I've managed to slow down the cpu speed with powerd, but the fan keeps running at a (what seems to me) too high speed. I've contacted the manufacturer asking him about if this is an expected behaviour (even if it had windows) but I didn't get any response from them (and no, I don't have windows licenses to try it myself :-( ...). Do you know if there is anything I can do on freebsd to reduce its speed/noise?

dummynet in 8.1
Hi, I've read in the release notes that ipfw and dummynet have been improved. I've wonder if with 8.1 will it be possible to bridge a VLAN Trunk and filter VLAN tagged frames (actually, send packets to a dummynet queue for traffic shapping). I've tried this with 8.0 but seems like ipfw does not understand vlan tagged frames.

You can start by downloading a ISO from here: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html The one you must download depends on the hardware you are going to install on. A standard desktop PC normally is an i386, so you should download in this case this file: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/7.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso If you browse the FTP folder ( ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/ ) you will see that there are another two disc images (ISOs whose name ends in disc2 and disc3). You will require them also depending on the packages you select to install, but with the first one you should have enought for a minimum installation. Once downloaded the ISO, burn it to a CD and boot you computer from this CD, remember that all the data on that PC will be lost. Another option, is to boot the iso from any virtualization software such as vmware or VirtualBox. Remember that you can follow the details of the installation procedure and several administrative tasks on the very useful FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Matias. ___ 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: zfs raid and/or hardware raid..
If your are just going to play with it, the play as much as you want with ZFS. But, if you are going to setup something that will have to go on production some day, at least at this moment i wouldn't recommend you ZFS. I've used it for a backup server, and due to power failures in the building, all the times the energy went out the pool got corrupted, the las one was completely unrecoverable.I ended up using gconcat/gstripe and so on, and despite a couple more power failures, just once I've had to run fsck.Everything works (and feels) much more solid now.

Though it's theoretically possible, don't use pkg_create on a bunch of files you scattered on the file system to create a package. a) it's hard to do right by hand and b) you'll probably create an incorrect package. What you can do (and this is much easier) is write a port for your application(s), see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/ and then create a binary package from that port using make package. (You do not need to submit the port or your source to anyone but you must have it on your computer to create the package).

make release, src.conf and WITHOUT_SENDMAIL on freebsd 7
Hi, I've set up a src.conf so that when I do a make buildworld sendmail is not built. That works great. The problem arises when I do a make release as, as far as I can see, /etc/src.conf is completly ignored. I think it's an issue with the chroot environment that make release uses.

Re: make release and sysinstall
Hi Riaan, Thanks a lot for your explanation, it's been very usefull to me, really. I've been looking about Freesbie, but it seems abandoned and on their mailing list there is no post since a couple of months. PfSense, which I use here, uses bsdInstaller but it's last new is from Aug 02 2005, so, it seems abandoned also. More of the same with the livecd port... the scripts are not up to date with current FreeBSD releases. I'll give a sigth to nanoBSD., but for the moment it seems that where I can get more support/documentation is with sysinstall and standard FreeBSD tools. Another question: Suppose I create my own install.cfg for sysinstall and then I do a make release.If my sysinstall contains a couple of freeBSD packages (bash, python, etc..) plus a custom package created by me.. How must I instruct make release to include just those packages in the final CDROM? Thanks a lot.

Re: Large filesystems help/ideas
As far as I understand from the following sentence taken from the link you are pointing and the text following it: ...Many systems don't require an MBR or GPT, and even PCs don't require it if booting and inter-operating with other OS's is not required. The next limit that comes in, though, is with the BSD disklabel... I understand that I could have up to 8 slices of 2 Tb, with partitions (disklabel ones) inside each slice with up to 2Tb. Is that correct? What do you think about using this scheme and then join all them with vinum on a software raid-0 array? Thanks a lot for your time and help.

I would suggest to use different partitions for your OS and another big one for your backup data. In fact, if you can use two smaller disks in RAID 1 for the OS and leave your two RAID 5 for the backup data alone, that would be even better. This way you can both a) install the OS without any problem and b) prevent a *very* long fsck in case the machine crashes and your 7TB partition is broken beyond the background fsck process. Once you have the OS installed on the smaller partitions, you can then use gpt(8) to create your 2TB+ filesystems. YMMV. We use a scenario quite identical as what you're trying to do. We use a few ports to do so, like sysutils/rsnapshot and shells/rssh with rsync and OpenSSH along with an encrypted backup volume and OpenPGP to encrypt the tapes. For VMWare images, we use sysutils/rdiff-backup. It works very well for 100+ mixed FreeBSD, RedHat, Ubuntu and AIX hosts. If you need any help with the backup setup and all, just ask, I'll send you the howto.

I'm not sure, but think that mos of them will... for linux, there is a linux compatibility mode that will run most (if not all) linux programs. Does it make more sense to port from Windows directly to Mac OS X or to FreeBSD first? It depends on what will you use that box for. if you wish a rock-solid internet server, then freeBSD is the way to go, if you just want to play Warcraft, then use windows. What is the development framework and IDE of choice for FreeBSD develoopment (Eclipse, NetBeans, Trolltech, etc.)? Also depends, on what you want to do, and what programming language you use/know. For web applications I like Ruby on Rails, for desktop apps I think that trolltech's QT are one of the bests options today. What does FreeBSD offer over Solaris and/or Red Hat Linux?

Re: Problems with X11 Forwarding
Aaron Dalton wrote: I thought this might be the best place to post the question. I am running FreeBSD5.4-RELEASE. For the sake of argument, let's say I am trying to get the port editors/fte running on my Windows box via an SSH tunnel. I am running WindowsXP, cygwin's X11 server, and PUTTY. As far as I can tell from all my Googling, this should actually be quite simple: - openssh is setup on FreeBSD with X11Forwarding=yes - I start the cygwin X-server (XWin -ac -multiwindow) - Putty is configured to forward X11 sessions - I connect via Putty - running '$ fte' from the FreeBSD command line should supposedly open everything up now on my Windows box, but it does not. From what I understand, when I connect now via Putty the env variable DISPLAY should be set. But it is not (which is the error fte gives me when I try to run it). If I try to manually set the DISPLAY variable (I tried localhost:0, localhost:0.0, ip:0, ip:0.0) it still doesn't work. editors/fte is fully installed (with X11libs and all that) but I wonder if there is more I need installed on the FreeBSD end to make things work. I really appreciate your time and any assistance you can render. Remember to run on the Cygwin console the command: # xhost + (Disclaimer: This is not secure for the Cygwin machine :-P ) So anyone can connect to your X11/Xorg Server. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
