The solution would be very simple, but because you're insisting on having the D: partition formatted as NTFS, a problem occurs: As far as I know, FreeBSD's NTFS support is okay for reading, but not for writing.

The solution would be to automount the external USB harddisk via /etc/fstab into /home, or into your individual home directory. With a FAT / MS-DOS formatted disk, this would look like this: /dev/da0s1/home/aryeh msdosfs rw 0 0 Note that /dev/da0 has to be this designated USB disk or startup or login would be able to fail. Of course, it would be much easier if Windows could access an simple stupid UFS file system. :-) Other problems could occur if you're using a FreeBSD and a Windows version of the same program that behave differently, for example a browser which's Windows version destroys the configuration files - your settings of the FreeBSD version would be gone. Firefox, Thunderbird and Opera can share preferences and data with Windows (I don't know about the first 2, but for Opera some files have to be different and others can be symlinks, there is a tutorial around).

Actual sysutils/fusefs-ntfs (or ntfsprogs with less stable support) allows you to read and write I am the unofficial (I am not sure if Ale has put my name on the maintainer line of the make file with his or not) fusefs-ntfs the only issue it has on the fb side is in some cases (happens to me but Ale can't seem to reproduce so we are at a lost of how to fix it) is any attempt to mount it from anywhere in /etc/rc or with non-delayed option in fstab will fail (non-fatally and repeating the attempt after your in full multiuser mode works just fine)... I was asking about how to structure the dir's and from what you described I don't think it solves the problem completely because the Desktop dir/folder has two completely different means under both OS's and besides many symlinks (most not documented anywhere) are likelly needed so the purpose of the question was attempting to automate this and/or minimize the number of symlinks (because to windows the will not translate to shortcuts if I understand the guts The sharing of the home directory can only be done per-application and only for some of them. You can't just use the same home directory. For the applications that work that way, you could symlink their configuration/data directories (there are tutorials describing it for Firefox/Thunderbird/Opera).

High disk load +mount/atacontrol/NFS/SMBFS crashes the system
Hello. I have experienced the following problem a couple of times in 2 different machines and FreeBSD versions (see below): when the disk is continuously reading/writing my system becomes unstable (it's not an everyday thing, but quite frustrating when it happens) and sometimes crashes. When copying from another machine by NFS/SMBFS more than one file at the same time (or when using the disk, like during a filesystem check in the background) often crashes (and the disk light indicator turns off). Running atacontrol ad0 mode UDMA100 when it was UDMA133 crashed the system (the disk activity indicator was always on) when I tried to solve the problem that way. Also when I was installing a port which installs many files on the second machine without using NFS/SMBFS, trying to mount a local NTFS filesystem (with kernel driver) crashed. The first machine is an Athlon XP 2400+ with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and custom kernel (see below) and the second one a new Athlon64 X2 3500 with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE running in i386 mode, with generic SMP kernel. See the boot messages and kernel config here: http://people.freebsd.org/~alepulver/disk-crash.tar.bz2 Also I got (only twice, when checking the filesystem after one of these crashes) the following error on the first machine, that I don't know if it's related or not to the previous problems: fsync: giving up on dirty 0xc51d6990: tag devfs, type VCHR usecount 1, writecount 0, refcount 806 mountedhere 0xc51a4000 flags () v_object 0xc144cb58 ref 0 pages 3232 lock type devfs: EXCL (count 1) by thread 0xc54e2c00 (pid 837) dev ad2s1f I would appreciate any help.

nvidia.ko kernel panic after upgrade to 6.0
Hello. I have upgraded my two identical (same CPU and motherboard) machines from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 (cvs tag RELENG_6_0). Both of them have NVidia video cards. One has a GeForce 4 MX 440 w/AGP8X and the other a GeForce 6600. I upgraded the system as described in the handbook and after that I rebuilt all the installed ports. On the machine which has the GeForce 6600 everything works fine, but in the other machine there are two problems. Strangely in the machine that works fine the problem #1 happened only once. 1) The first time the module was built (after upgrading to 6.0) when X started the system and screen frozen after 3 seconds. This didn't stop happening. 2) After rebuilding the nvidia-driver port the system crashes (kernel panic) when it tries to load the kernel module to complete the installation of the port. It outputs the following messages (sometimes one and sometimes the other), followed by some information and kernel dump progress: panic: softdep_setup_inomapdep: found inode [...] Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode [...] The second error is the same as the one the working machine outputted when I tried to load the 5.4 kernel module into the 6.0 kernel. If I copy the nvidia module from the working machine, problem #2 gets solved, but problem #1 happens. What can I do? If you need more information just ask.

On a system where I use that port, I upgrade it by just booting into single-user mode, make sure the module is unloaded, and then upgrading the module from there. Thank you for your reply. The problem #2 was solved when I rebuilt the nvidia-module (as you said). The problem #1 was ridiculously skype (yes, 'net/skype') crashing the system. It doesn't use OpenGL and it is not related to nvidia. I think it crashed the system through the linux compatibility kernel module. Some seconds after starting it, the system frozen.

Thanks, Les You can only use the modes that are listed in Modes, that's why you can't switch to 1280x1024. You have to add 1280x1024 to the Modes line (when not using DefaultDepth 24 it seems all modes are listed there). Then X will start in the higher resolution it can find in Modes, to solve this you can put in .xinitrc the following command (which will change the resolution after X starts): xrandr -s 1024x768 You can also see the list of available resolutions with that command (without parameters). If you have something like exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xfce in .xinitrc be sure to put the xrandr -s 1024x768 command before it (the exec replaces the shell by xfce, so everything after the exec will never be executed). For example (xorg.conf section with 1280x1024 added to Modes): Section Screen Identifier Screen0 DefaultDepth 24 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes 1280x1024 1024x768 EndSubSection EndSection Best Regards, Ale ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Help with Makefile
Hello, I am making a port of Quake III Arena SDK: it installs game sources, tools to produce QVM files, and a Makefile. The original game source comes with the cons building system and I am trying to write a Makefile to replace it. I have troubles while writting the Makefile. Here is what I want to do: * Use a directory for compiled/temporary/object files (e.g. build). * Dependency support (now targets are recreated all the time). * Automatic dependency support (e.g. mkdep). * Handle the suffix problem when qvm and so targets are built at the same time. Here is the description of the build steps (see the Makefile for implementation): For building the shared object just compile the C sources listed in (CGAME|GAME|UI)_SRCS_SO and put them together with cc -shared ... (I think this could be handled with bsd.lib.mk). For building the QVM you should first create bytecode files (assembly) from the sources listed in (CGAME|GAME|UI)_SRCS_QVM with q3lcc (note that there are also some .asm files listed in the sources - one per module cgame, game and ui - that don't need to be modified), then assemble all the produced files with q3asm. Here is what I have (attached): Makefile.bz2 -Last try. Makefile.orig.bz2 -Previous try (uses a build directory but doesn't handle dependencies and can't build qvm and so at the same time - suffix problem). Makefile.gnu.bz2 -Works fine, but it is for gmake (and for an older version: 1.29h, this one is 1.32, however the only change could be sources names/files). quake3-sdk.tar.bz2 -Port that installs game source (where the Makefile has to be put) and the tools. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards, Ale P.S.: I asked this question in [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I think this is the correct place to do it.

Explanation: The 's' is the substitute command, '/' is the operand separator, the '\(' and '\)' construct saves the text it matches in the register '\1', '[0-9]*' matches any number of digits (even 0 of them), $target is replaced with the contents of the shell variable. All of that is replaced by just the text matched between '\(' and '\)'.

If you want more detailed information about them (like how to set them up), ask me. I do need some clear instructions. I tried djbdns without success (see another post) and also the instructions under 'Domain Name System (DNS)' in the FreeBSD Handbook. I added named_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf. Used the default configuration file without any zone (as suggested in the Handbook). There is no 'ndc' on my machine. I assume I must use 'rndc' instead. Ran 'rndc start' and was told rndc: connect failed: connection refused Saw nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/console.log Alan Hello, You need to run rndc-confgen, and save the output in a temporary file. Then you have to look at it: there is one part to be put to /etc/namedb/named.conf and the other to /etc/namedb/rndc.conf. Example: % rndc-confgen = add to /etc/namedb/rndc.conf = # Start of rndc.conf key rndc-key { algorithm hmac-md5; secret zCgi4/rmS+O0ZENRWk22SQ==; }; options { default-key rndc-key; default-server 127.0.0.1; default-port 953; }; # End of rndc.conf = add to /etc/namedb/named.conf = # Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as needed: # key rndc-key { # algorithm hmac-md5; # secret zCgi4/rmS+O0ZENRWk22SQ==; # }; # # controls { # inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 # allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndc-key; }; # }; # End of named.conf IIRC before FreeBSD 5.4 there was a ndc (like rndc, but only local and did not need setup). The rndc is for remote control (however it can also be used as local with the loopback address 127.0.0.1). The key is randomly generated (automatically), and it has to match in the two files. After that the connection will be allowed (however the start command does not exist, you have to start it manually - named - and then you can control it with rndc). The file rndc.conf has to be placed on the machine you want to control the name server from. But if it is not the same machine that runs the name server, you have to put its IP address instead of 127.0.0.1. The inet statements in named.conf specifies the IP address the name server will listen (for rndc). You will have to put here the IP address of the machine (and the localhost to be controled locally) in the network to be controlled from other machines. The allow statement in named.conf specifies from which hosts you can (remotely) control the name server. The address 127.0.0.1 is the loopback (internal address), but you can add the IP address of other machines too (note that they need the rndc.conf file set appropiately). If you have questions about this ask me. If you want examples I can provide you some. Then let me know if you want option 1) or 2) so I can help you with the next step. 1) Have an independent DNS server on each machine (there is one for Windows called TreeWalk - free -, that is the same as named). 2) Put a DNS server on *one* machine, and that DNS server is used by all the machines on the network.

Re: Where does a port store a saved configuration file?

I'm trying to find the saved configuration file so that I can remove it and reselect what options I want snort built with, but no luck. Anyone know where it's located at? thanks Hello, If the port uses the OPTIONS variable (in the Makefile) the configuration is at /var/db/ports/portname, and you can change it with make config, show it with make showconfig and remove it with make rmconfig. If the port uses a shell script (ports that have a subdirectory called scripts with a file usually called config), it usually creates a file called Makefile.inc in the port directory, that is included by the port Makefile and it is removed when you do a make clean.

So when the shell replaces itself with 'unclutter', it is not the shell anymore, so it never comes back to execute 'enlightenment'. The solution can be to run the first command in the background (apart from the shell) like this: unclutter -root exec enlightenment See sh(1) (section 'exec' and 'jobs').

sh interactive?
Hello, How can I use 'sh' as an interactive shell? My configuration files are the defaults. The file '.profile' has the following: [...] # set ENV to a file invoked each time sh is started for interactive use. ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV [...] The file '.shrc' has the following: [...] # Enable the builtin emacs(1) command line editor in sh(1), # e.g. C-a - beginning-of-line. set -o emacs [...] However it does not read '.shrc' even if I call it with '-i'.

pcm device numbering
Hello, I have two sound cards: SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich' Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi' The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1). I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried using the loader.conf variables *_after and *_before, but they always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the driver for the integrated card. Is there a (clean, if possible) way to do this (with 'device.hints', or rc scripts)? Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the drivers in the desired order): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x70121849 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator' class= multimedia subclass = audio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0: class=0x040100 card=0x03f6 chip=0x03f6 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00vendor = 'C-Media Electronics Inc.' device = 'CMI8738/PCI C3DX PCI Audio Chip#20013;#22269;' class= multimedia subclass = audio Thanks and Best Regards, Ale ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Booting from the second disk
Hello, I have two IDE disks with the following Operating Systems: IDE-0 -- ad0s1 -- Windows XP Pro ad0s5 (extended) -- Windows 2000 Pro IDE-1 -- ad2s1 -- Debian Sarge (managing LILO at IDE-1) ad2s4 -- FreeBSD 5.3 I boot from the second disk. I have LILO in the MBR because it is capable of swapping disks when loading the operating system (Windows does not boot because it thinks the disk which the computer boots is the first disk, and boot.ini refers to the other disk). So I have to put the following: other=/dev/hda1 label=Windows map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 Or: other=/dev/hda1 label=Windows boot-as=0x81 Can I do something similar with other Boot Managers (FreeBSD's Boot Manager, GRUB, etc.) Which is the better recommended multi-boot layout (with two hard disks)?

NFS usually comes with UNIX like systems (Linux, *BSD, etc.). The tool (server/client) for interacting with Windows networks is Samba. It is available in the ports collection as 'net/samba' (version 2) or 'net/samba3' (version 3). The Samba version has nothing to do with the protocol version, so you can install the one you want. The manual page samba(7) lists all the client/server tools provided by the Samba suite. It installs some documentation at '/usr/local/share/doc/samba/'.

This is done (in FreeBSD 5.X, if you use 4.X use'vnconfig', there are examples in the Handbook) like with a CD-ROM ISO image (see the Handbook-Storage): mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file -u n It will appear in '/dev' as 'mdn', with its partitions, like the following: md1a md1c [...] So you can mount them, dump them, etc., like with a slice (in fact, it is an image of a slice). When you end what you want to do with it, do (after unmounting the partitions): mdconfig -d -u n Best Regards, Ale ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An ISO file is an image of the entire CD (it has a TOC, the bootable part, etc.), and to burn it there should be an option on the burning program (something containing the word ISO, and a browser to select a file). Check this, if when you burn the cd and you read it you see only the ISO file, it is not right. If you see a lot of directories like 'boot','packages', it is fine, and it should boot. Best Regards, Thanks, Ale. I know how to burn images and the CD boots until the menu where you get the choices about what kind of kernel boot you want. I cannot boot even in safe mode. :o(. Teilhard.

Re: format slice
Hello, Sorry I did not noticed it before, but your first slice must be of type 165 (or 0xa5 in hex), that is the type of FreeBSD slices. The data for partition 1 is: sysid 0 (),(unused) start 63, size 20820177 (10166 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 174/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 20820240, size 19201392 (9375 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 It appeares as unused.

I've always assumed that sysinstall uses the fdisk tool? And which one is correct? Is it wise to try creating a new slice with fdisk? Well, is one of them reading only the in-memory label and the other reading the label on the disk?When you did the fdisk, did you make sure it changed on disk. Then, did the in-memory label get updated? jerry /stand/sysinstall would be the one that read the in-memory label. The other way around seems impossible to me.

You can also just leave some free space in the disk (the BSD slice must not cover the whole disk) and then Windows should create another partition (slice) to install itself. For example, I have the following slices (called partitions by Windows) in my first disk: #fdisk -s /dev/ad0 /dev/ad0: 77504 cyl 16 hd 63 sec PartStartSize Type Flags 1: 6337158282 0x0c 0x80 (fat32) 2:3715834540949685 0x0f 0x00 (ntfs) And the following in my second disk (ignore the numbering): # fdisk -s /dev/ad2 /dev/ad2: 79656 cyl 16 hd 63 sec PartStartSize Type Flags 1: 6320466747 0x83 0x00 (ext2fs) 4:4094968538909430 0xa5 0x80 (BSD slice) Slice 4 is a FreeBSD slice containing (and only BSD slices have labels): # bsdlabel /dev/ad2s4 # /dev/ad2s4: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 52428804.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 b: 2045568 524288 swap c: 389094300unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 524288 25698564.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 e: 524288 30941444.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 f: 35290998 36184324.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 I think your partition layout is as follows (sizes in Mbytes): | a 150 | b 1500 | d 5120 | g 9880 | e 20480 | f 20101 | END 0 | 0 150 1650 6770 16650 37130 57231 So you will have to delete 'g', and move all the partitions before near to 'd'.

When installing Windows keep this in mind: it will overrite the MBR, so perhaps you want to install Windows first (and leave free space for FreeBSD), otherwise you can restore it later with a bootable CD. It can be done with 'sysinstall' or from command-line (you can use a LiveCD, like the second FreeBSD ISO or FreeSBIE), there are instructions in the Handbook, section The FreeBSD Booting Process.

But is *dangerous*, and in fact there are *no* tools (I searched and it is often said) to resize filesystems (even if you resize the partition, the filesystem thinks the space is still assigned to it, I think). The only think I believe is possible (with raw tools: 'dd') is moving partitions, but if you are moving less space than the size of the partition itself, it is only possible to do it backwards, and the copied bytes will be overritten (after copied) so if the process is interrupted you will lose all the data (half in the destination, the rest in the original place, and one immediatly following the other). I found a (possible) better way to do this: 1) Revert the changes with the partitions 'd' and 'g' (back-up, delete, create only 'd', restore). 2) Save the data in 'f' ('/home') to somewhere (like '/usr'). 2) Delete 'f' ('/home') and create it with less space (like 10 GB, or less, if you do not need much space there). 3) Then the BSD label entry 'c' should have less size. 4) Use 'fdisk' to resize the slice. It should be equal to the size of partition 'c' (that is not a real partition, but the size sum of all of them). Then the slice must not cover the entire disk, and you will be able to create a 'msdosfs' slice after it (in the unallocated space). I never tried this and I do not know if it is possible, so I *recommend* you to back up your data. Good Luck!

There were a few errors even when disabling UDMA from BIOS. Finally I removed the Zip/CDROM, leaving the hard disk as the only drive in the IDE channel. Then the errors dissapeared even at the highest UDMA speed. I did not try with software ('atacontrol', etc.). Please let me know about the results you obtained.

Thanks and Best Regards, Ale I moved a FreeBSD slice from the end of my hard disk to somewhere close to the beginning a month or so ago, using nothing but dd, and it worked. Please note that the original space occupied by the slice and the place I moved it to did not overlap at all, so I have no idea if you'll run into problems when you overwrite the start of it. It would probably work, but if you have to start over for some reason, you're sunk -- and you'd need some sort of boot media to get it to work.. Maybe you can copy it one partition at a time? Also, beware that the FreeBSD disklabel seems to use absolute offsets instead of relative offsets. If you copy the whole slice at once, something like # bsdlabel /dev/{old slice} /tmp/text-label # bsdlabel -R /dev/{new slice} /tmp/text-label should work, since the human-readable output uses relative offsets. (But beware; I'm just working from memory here and haven't tested those commands at all.) If you copy the data one partition at a time (as I ended up doing for some reason) it's a bit more complicated: you have to set up the disklabel before you start, but then when you copy partition a, the label will be messed up(assuming partition a starts at the beginning of the slice). I just fixed the label again after copying partition a, and it seemed to work, but I can't guarantee that the system won't re-read the label while dd is working and decide that the destination partition is suddenly somewhere else and kill your original slice. Er, just sharing my experience. You might want to wait for furthur guidance, since all this is pretty messy. - James Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED
Re: Using META and DEL keys in console

The console keymaps are in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps. You can edit whichever keymap you are using with a flat ascii editor. To get a key to send the familiar ^?, enter del in the keymap. Not all applications, however, will do the expected thing with this, and you will have to consult the documentation for the individual applications to see whether they can be configured to do what you expect from a delete key. For backspace, bs, for meta, meta, esc for escape. Note that you can set the left and right Alt keys to different things, and that keypad Del/. key can be different from the Delete key. You almost certainly do not want to mess with terminfo. If you use the the bash shell, you can see what a key is currently sending by entering C-vkeystroke at the command prompt. I read something in the manual pages of terminfo(5), gettytab(5), etc. I tried the following options: :km:smm:dc: But I am having these thoubles: 1) My ALT key did not work and the DEL key acts as BACKSPACE (C-h), but I would like to use it as C-d. C-d is eot in the console keymap if you would rather have that than the ^? which is del. 2) Some strange thing happens with Emacs in console mode: when I press DEL, it is interpreted (literally) as C-h, and C-h is used as BACKSPACE. And C-d acts as DEL. Switching to the emacs keymap might help you. 3) Also DEL does not do anything in xterm. Make changes to xterm mappings in your .Xdefaults file, such as: !! xterm keymappings *XTerm*VT100.translations: #override \n\ KeyKP_Delete: string(0x7f) \n\ Naturally, you can make these strings whatever you want. Is there a more descriptive documentation of the terminal capabilities listed in terminfo(5)? Yes, you can google for many books worth of material, but it is not particularly germane to what you want to do if you are running a PC with a PC keyboard, and not trying to connect some ancient dumb terminal. Is there a standard configuration for PS/2 PC-101 keyboards? Unfortunately there are a lot of them. Does xterm use a different configuration from console terminals? Yes. X applications are meant to run on X, and X is meant to run on a variety of machines. Any relationship between xterm and the machine's native terminal is purely coincidental. (In particular, xterm is meant to be out of the box compatible with the very old VT100 standard - which never was native to any PC operating system.) You can get xterm and the console keyboard to behave mostly the same way - and get that way to be what you want - by editing .Xdefaults and the syscons keymap you are using (probably both). But that doesn't mean that every application will behave as you think it should. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for your reply.

Extracting boot sectors
Hello, I would like to know how to extract the MBR to a file, and how to restore it. Also I would like to know how to do the same with the partition boot sector and OS loaders. I think it is as follows (I remember this from somewhere): dd if=/dev/disk/partition of=/file bs=512 count=1 But I do not know: a) Is 512 the correct size for both (MBR and partition boot sectors)? b) How to extract/restore the OS loader (e.g. for WinNT/2K/XP, that is NTLDR)? c) What alternative commands are available for doing this (extact/restore)?
