Re: How to know that make buildworld finished

2006-03-05 Thread Robert Uzzi
 Hi,

 For testing purposes, I am trying to build a quite old (read slow)
 machine. It happens that every time I start a buildworld, I will have
 to leave before the end. And next morning the shell I was using to run
 the buildworld will have terminated for some reason.

 So I cannot see if the make did finished successfully or not.

 Is there a way to check that make buildworld did finished
 successfully?


Sounds like you are ssh'ing in to the box and the ssh session is
disconnected before morning? If so when you connect to the box run screen
before you build world. Then in the morning you can reconnect to the same
session after ssh'ing to the box with screen -rd.

rc.d startup files structure changed?

2006-03-05 Thread Robert Uzzi
What is with the changes with the naming structure of the rc.d files?
after some updates I found that courier-authdaemond.sh had been renamed to
  courier-authdaemond and pure-ftpd.sh to pure-ftpd. Is the structure
changing to not require the .sh extention to start on bootup?

USB and FLoppy problems?

2006-03-13 Thread Robert Uzzi
Is it just me experiencing problems lately with USB and mount_msdosfs ?
When I mount my USB drives, which are fat32, I experience bus stalls and
hangs of various types in the usb output. Sometimes complete system
freezes. It does not matter if it is the built in usb 1 controller or an
add in usb 2 controller. In addition just last night I tried to mount a
floppy on /dev/fd0 to run a mysql dump script I keep there and
mount_msdosfs errored, I'm starting to wonder if the two problems are
related. The error when mounting the floppy is new but the usb problems
crept in while I was at 5.4 before a source upgrade to 6.0. Prior to that
usb worked fine. Mounting the floppy worked fine until a few days ago,
right now I'm at 6.0-RELEASE-p5 and trying to figure out where the problem
lies.

For my purposes that is fine. I and looking to build a 1T nfs server to
service my dual 3G Xeon box and another Solaris box.


 Do note that cheap SATA raid controllers are in fact 'software' raid
 cards;
 much of the load is on the cpu rather than the asic.

 All the best : driver are setup in the card so you can upgrade your
 system without any problem.
 You'll probably have to compile driver before uploading them to the
 card...

 Or http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/sata_150_4.html

 Drivers are available for FreeBSD.

Re: Mysql 5 Cluster FreeBSD

2006-02-16 Thread Robert Uzzi
Add this to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf in your MAKE_ARGS statement. It's
the WITH_NDB=1 switch that will enable building with cluster support, the
rest is up to you. Then use the portinstall command to build the port.
From there on it is like any other OS to build the MySQL cluster.


 MAKE_ARGS = {
'databases/mysql*' = 'WITH_NDB=1 WITH_ARCHIVE=1 BUILD_OPTIMIZED=1
WITH_OPENSSL=1',
  }



 Hello,

 Mysql Cluster is now part of Mysql 5.

 Does someone successfully set up a Mysql 5 cluster on FreeBSD 5.4 ?

You got port scanned.

 +Limiting closed port RST response from 216 to 200 packets/sec

 By analogy with the rate limiting on icmp echo (ping) I'd say that
 someone try to access to a closed service 216 times per second and
 that the reset (RST) response is limited to 200.

Re: Shared object libmysqlclient.so.15 not found

2006-02-27 Thread Robert Uzzi
 Did you compile this from ports or by hand ? Some ports have options and
 for some reason some dont pop the options you ask for when doing
 -WITH_BLAH or -DWITH_BLAH so i would go where it says +-CONFIGURE_ARGS=
 and add the options to enable mysql in pure-ftpd


These were built from ports.

I guess I should have added that if I recompile pureftpd with portupgrade
-frR pure-ftpd it works after being restarted. At the next reboot the
problem returns. I haven't made any headway with the postfix errors
although it is running normally.

Re: adding a *.wav or *mp3 file to my HTML

   One: how can I add this snd.wav to html? andor php?
   Two: since it takes N secs to pull over the wav file,
   is there a way to translate it to (say) 32k MP3?
   And, again, how would I add this to my HTML/php

There can be lots of ways to do this but generally sounds are considered a
nusance no matter what you do, but if you insist you can do something like
this.

Re: SATA to SCSI Raid Enclosure ...

2006-03-01 Thread Robert Uzzi

 I'm looking for something 'cheap' that I can plug into a SCSI controller
 on my desktop machine that will allow me to house multiple SATA drives in
 it ... I don't need a lot of fancy features on it, and performance isn't a
 big issue ...

 Anything anyone out there using that they'd recommend, or know of
 manufacturers that do this?

 thanks ...

I've done a lot of testing of SCSI/RAID  SATA hardware for companies
dealing with higher end server and SAN hardware. My experiences tell me to
stay away from it. The emulation that occurs to allow the SATA use on the
SCSI bus is usually a hack at best. I have yet to see a implementation
that was not full of bugs.

Re: PHP for MySQL question

 I tried that, it still gives me the same thing about the aclocal15 not
 being found. It doesn't stop with the mysql part of php either, there's
 other stuff earlier in the php extentions list it stops on as well.

 -john

I'm not seeing the problem here or on another system but a quick scan of
my system finds the following. If you don't have them that could be the
problem. Now to figure out why?

/usr/local/bin/aclocal15
/usr/local/share/aclocal15

A quick google make's me think aclocal is part of automake and I actually
found several versions on my system. Check your system and if one is not
installed that could be the problem. I would have thought it would have
been installed as a dependency by something along the way.

automake-1.4.6_2
automake-1.5_2,1
automake-1.9.6

 Automake1.5 was the problem, I found it in the ports section and things

Re: PCI Express 1x NIC

2006-03-02 Thread Robert Uzzi
 Hello.
 I'v got an MB which is going to run 6.0/AMD64. It features a PCI
 Express x1 slot.
 Has anyone had any experience with such a NIC? Altought this is gonna be
 Gigabit, I'm more insterested in stability than in performance.

 Also, slightly OT, is PCI-Express aka PCI-X? Or is it PCI-E? None of the
 two? :)

   bye  Thanks
   av.

PCI-X is a parallel bus at 100 or 133mhz PCI-Express is a newer serialized
bus with the capabilities of bonding more channels. It comes in the
following flavors 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x. In testing Raid on
ROMB devices we found large increases in performance using PCI-Express
over older technologies.

 PCI Express is NOT PCI-X

 PCI-X is larger slot usually running faster at 66MHz vs. standard PCI at
 33MHz.  PCI-X is found mostly on server motherboards.

 PCI Express is a small connector found on primarily desktop
 motherboards.

 Ok, thanks a lot.
 So, does PCI Express=PCI-E hold?
 Which speed can it attain?

 Is it supported?
 Any NIC reccomendations?

   bye  Thanks
   av.

PCI-X can run at 100 and 133mhz but PCI-Express is bonded channels. For
instance a PCI-E 1x (1 channel)would be able to move half the data in a
given time as a 2x (2 channels)slot. The 1x or 2x channels still operate
at the same speed.

PCI-E is a whole new technology and rethinking of busses.

As far as a recommendation for NIC's, Intel is the one to beat but they
are pricey.
