That and Linux seems to only ever get the abridged version of manual

this when I went from Debian to FreeBSD. Finally! Real
documentation!


There ware two things that I found to be solved better in FreeBSD than
in various Linusi:

1. Amount of manual pages: FreeBSD does not only document commands,
it documents configuration files, kerlen interfaces, library functions
and maintenance procedures. The tradition of manual pages furthermore
is carried by third party software (ports), e. g. man opera - you
would not guess that it existed. In the opposite, try to find a
manpage of some KDE program (as if anyone would read manpages for
KDE things).

2. Quality of documentation: The manpages are excellently written.
No look at our Wiki or this page intentionally left free there.
furthermore, the OS's source is very tidy, uses good names for
functions, variables and datatypes, and has lots of useful comments.

As a developer, documentation is a MUST HAVE for me. Having all
the documentation avaliable off line right after installation
is very good.

Sadly, Linux didn't (doesn't?) offer this.


I agree, the linux documentation is very scarce. Having good man pages  
is very convenient, specially when you are in a data center with just  
a console on a cart. Having to go online to check some badly organised  
wiki is not always convenient or possible.


I also have my share of frustration with the logs. The messages in the  
log files are often inconsistent and unhelpful. In this following  
example the kernel is reporting a disk error but forgot to specify the  
most important information, the disk.


Jul  3 00:07:53 locdata204 kernel: [5706229.55] res  
41/40:00:52:4a:73/83:02:27:00:00/00 Emask 0x9 (media error)

Since they are defining standards that are implemented in open source
code under BSD license I don't see the problem.

You can complain the day that Adobe releases the source for Acrobat
Reader, and Flash, under BSD license, and Google closes the source for
Chrome, OK?


I am not saying what they are doing is not good for the community.  
Like everyone

because that will force web developers to use standards instead of

Strange behavior with zfs

2008-04-04 Thread Fred C


I have a FreeBSD box configured as a nfs server and a Mac with MacOS  
10.5 as client.


On my FBSD box I have a zfs pool exported as you can seen in the  
examples bellow. This filesystem is mounted on my Mac with the  
following command mount_nfs -P ... When I copy some files from the  
shell prompt everything works as expected. But when I use the Finder  
and drop files into this mounted directory I got the following errors:


First message:
You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on  
this computer to change the item named xxx.html


Second message:
The item xxx.html contains on or more items you do not have  
permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to  
read?


Third message:
The operation cannot ve copleted because you do not have sufficient  
privileges for some of the items.


An empty file is created on the destination directory as shown bellow.
509:0- ls -ltr /mnt2
total 265
-rw-r--r--@ 1 fred  wheel  135662 Apr  4 13:33 background.jpg
--  1 fred  wheel   0 Apr  4 14:01 xxx.html

When I do the exact same operations on /export which is an UFS file  
system everything works as expected. I have to permissions errors.


I am sorry for asking this long question on this group. Maybe the  
problem is Mac related, but since this happen only with zfs on a  
FreeBSD box, and a lot of people in this list use Macs, I thought you  
may have an answer to that problem.

why do they want to install packages from the CD (or DVD), rather than

Bandwidth, to me, is no excuse, because it takes less bandwidth to
download the ports tree + source code than it does to download a 4GB
DVD.

Either way, there is a DVD available at freebsdmall.

in fbsd.



The weakness comes mainly from the hardware.

It is like Nascar, you don't run Nascar in your everyday Prius. You  
need a car with stronger and ultra performing components. Your Prius  
maybe fine for your commute and your grocery shopping, but when it  
comes to a race it will perform very badly.


Here the problem is the same. For your everyday home desktop machine  
any low end network card is fine. But when you want to handle several  
thousand connections per seconds you need some some hardware who can  
handle it.

Re: console server using a modern 1U box

2008-01-03 Thread Fred C


Do you know where I can find more information about comserv. In the  
port directory the pkg-descr file point to http://www.bsdhome.com/comserv/ 
 which return a 404 error and the website is about bats homes.

have a look at xyplex 1600 console server, which is a standalone  
comm server accesed via a network.
you can the also run comserv on your bsd box which will the connect  
the 16 ports of the console server as directly connected serial  
ports giving you the use of ports as device files  tip etc.


if i remember correctly I also used comserv with lantronix/perl  
console server as well.


comserv is in /usr/ports/comms/comserv

Not enough data; switch to the thread which crashed, ie got the SIG  
11, and do a bt to try to see what was going wrong.


Note that debugging multithreaded programs is rather difficult, and  
you might want to double-check that your basic Python installation  
is OK first by running the included self-tests which come with the  
Python distribution.  If you're using the Python from ports, try  
doing:


cd /usr/ports/lang/python  make
cd /usr/ports/lang/python/work/Python-2.4.3  make test


As I told you in my previews emails all the python tests went with no  
errors.


I have try with using postgres instead of sqlite and I got the same  
problem
