You could try setting the correct device path in /boot/boot.config, but I suspect that won't be read until too late. gptboot looks for the first UFS partition. Maybe /boot/boot can be modified to do that also. I ended up booting from rescue media, removing one drive and stopping the gmirror, creating a new gmirror on the removed drive to place the UFS partition first, and performing a dump/restore to transfer the system. Then I was able to boot from the new gmitrror and add the second drive to it. One of the complications was getting old metadata off of the drive. After trying a couple of 'dd' invocations: # overwriting the first sector dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=512 count=1 # also tried overwriting the last sector diskinfo ada0 | cut -f4 3907029168 (subtract 34, per WB) (I actually just subtracted the trailing 68) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 seek=3907029100 This would still seem to not delete all of the metadata, since after issuing: gmirror label -b split gm0 /dev/ada0 gmirror load # repartition new mirror gpart create -s MBR mirror/gm0 # ignore mirror/gm0s1 added, but partition is not aligned on 4096 bytes after add gpart add -t freebsd -a 4k mirror/gm0 # create the bsdlabel partitions in slice 1 (s1) gpart create -s BSD mirror/gm0s1 I would see that the old gm0s1a and gm0s1b had reappeared, even though I had not yet issued the 'add -t freebsd-ufs'. I'm not sure if they came back with the 'add -t freebsd' or the 'create -s BSD'. The only thing that seemed to fix it was: gpart destroy -F /dev/ada0 I also tried at one point: gpart destroy -F ada0 gpart create -s gpt ada0 gpart destroy -F ada0 After that I could create the new partitions within the slice, with freebsd-ufs first: # size of ufs partition must be calculated, from 'diskinfo -v /dev/ada0': 2000398934016 # media size in bytes (1.8T) ; 1024*1024*1024 1073741824 ; 2000398934016/1073741824 1863.01668548583984375 # subtract 8G from 1863 = 1855G gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4k -s 1855G mirror/gm0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 4k mirror/gm0s1 Everything looks good with 4K alignment, and freebsd-ufs first: gpart show =63 3907029104 mirror/gm0 MBR (1.8T) 63 63 - free - (31k) 126 3907028979 1 freebsd [active] (1.8T) 3907029105 62 - free - (31k) = 0 3907028979 mirror/gm0s1 BSD (1.8T) 0 2- free - (1.0k) 2 3890216960 1 freebsd-ufs (1.8T) 389021696216812016 2 freebsd-swap (8.0G) 3907028978 1- free - (512B) After newfs, I was able to dump/restore to transfer the installed system from ada1 to gm0 (which is 9.1-RC3 now).

boot problem after freebsd-update from 9.1-RC2 to 9.1-RC3

Re: 9.1 and gmirror with GPT?
On 2012-10-29 03:58, Jeremy Chadwick wrote: If you're truly using 4096-byte sectors disks -- specifically MECHANICAL hard disks (MHDDs) -- use of 4KByte alignment is fine. But if you ever plan on using an SSD the future, you need to align things to 1MBytes or 2MBytes. This is why Windows Vista and Windows 7 aligns its partitions to 1MByte boundaries. ...and quite honestly FreeBSD should too. I am aware 9.1-RELEASE supposedly addresses this -- however I have not determined if the alignment size chosen by the committer was 4096 or 1MB/2MB. I have a gut feeling it's the former, and that's bad. With 1MByte or 2MByte alignment, performance on 512-byte MHDDs would be fine, performance on 4096-byte MHDDs would be fine, and performance on SSDs would be fine. Next: in case it's not made clear to readers from Warren's statements: the magical 8 divisor he's using comes from 4096/512 (how many 512 bytes are there in a 4096-byte sector). Thus, for 1MByte alignment the value would be 1048576/512 or 2048. For 2MByte alignment the value would be 2097152/512 or 4096. Thank You Jeremy! In an effort to bring concluding info from the original thread, on some MRB partitioned drives (spinning media in this case) gpart seems unable to align the containing -t freebsd slice to 4K boundaries. However subsequent creation of -t freebsd-ufs and -t freebsd-swap partitions within the slice align correctly. To make this alignment on 1M boundaries instead of 4K boundaries the -a 1M should be used instead of -a 4K. Example gpart commands for MBR partition table aligned to 1M sector size for SSD: gpart create -s MBR mirror/gm0 gpart add -t freebsd -a 1M mirror/gm0 # ignore possible warning mirror/gm0s1 added, but partition is not aligned # create the bsdlabel partitions in slice 1 (s1) gpart create -s BSD mirror/gm0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 1M -s 8g mirror/gm0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 1M mirror/gm0s1 # put bootcode on the MBR and mark the first slice active gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr mirror/gm0 gpart set -a active -i 1 mirror/gm0 # put bootcode on the bsdlabel gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot mirror/gm0s1 ___ 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

This is new to me, I have not seen it before. I had the impression that
gpart put the bsdlabel partition table at a misaligned offset so that the
actual filesystems in those partitions would land on an aligned block, but it
never gave that message. That comes from sys/geom/part/g_part.c, function

Thank you Warren. That sums it up. Lucas, I found this blag post informative: https://koitsu.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/using-freebsd-graid-geom-raid/ There are also several interesting posts on Michael Lucas' blag, such as: http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/1071 This is a good discussion thread that dives into a specific configuration and the implications: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/disk-partitioning-with-gmirror-gpt-gjournal-RFC-td4912676.html I've tried to determine which came first GEOM or GPT. It seems GEOM is actually older, dating from FreeBSD 5, around 2003. While GPT seems to have been integrated with what is now known as UEFI in the later half of that decade. It also seems greedy of GPT to require both the first and last sectors of the disk. This seems to almost guarantee it will have issues with other low level disk formatting tools. Of course, given the history of the WinTel partnership, perhaps not interoperating with other tools was a design specification 8-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table In any case, the upcoming wide spread use of UEFI/GPT (i.e. windoze on commodity PCs) compared to the FreeBSD specific nature of GEOM, pretty much insures that it will have to be GEOM that changes to accommodate this conflict. Even given the denial of who is David and who is Goliath, in the fact that the GEOM developers don't seem to consider this their bug: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162147 It seems inevitable that the FreeBSD devs will have to capitulate and find another way to store the GEOM meta-data or we're going to loose the great benefits of whole disk mirrors under GEOM. [please proceed with tongue in cheek] This may not occur any time soon, as time progresses at a different rate for BSD than it does with the rest of the world. A great example is this sentence from the Architecture Handbook: The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a new way of attaching devices to personal computers. Of course USB is roughly 20 years old now 8-) There are some other great quotes regarding the new computer input device, called the mouse. [safe to freely operate tongue again] In any case, it seems my new 9.1-RC2 installation will be MBR partitioned with whole disk GEOM mirror. This motherboard is BIOS based, not UEFI.

9.1 and gmirror with GPT?
Hello, Just wondering if 9.1 will bring any improvement to the situation of creating a full disk geom mirror while also using GPT partition table? Is the fix for this a near term thing, or something in the farther future?

This is wrong. In fact, I have outlined ways repeatedly that FreeBSD could provide an easy to use package system without compromising on the flexibility of ports in any way. The idea that the OS has to be either difficult to use or it has to be easy to use for novices is wrong. The OS can be both and I have written about ways that can be done, in fact, I can show how it can be done in every area. For instance, with better binary packages, those are simply built from ports using the best set of options. Those who want to compile for themselves will still be able to do so, just fine. So you have presented a position here that is simply not true. FreeBSD can be more user friendly and as the same time be flexible and friendly to experts such as yourself. its not an either or choice. It can be, if there aren't resources available to devote to both. You've brought this up multiple times. No one is interested in actually doing it. Maybe you should do it yourself and provide the person-power and hardware to get it done right. If it works, I suspect that the FreeBSD devs would accept it and make you an official contributor.

make install fails for /usr/ports/security/sudo after downgrade from 9.0-R to 8-STABLE
Hello list, I had to downgrade from 9-R to 8-STABLE. To do this, I did the following: 1. rm -rf /usr/obj 2. pkg_delete -a 3. rm -rf /usr/ports 4. mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles 5. rm -rf /usr/src 6. rm -rf /usr/local/* 6. csup 8-STABLE sources 7. csup ports 8. cd /usr/src make cleandir make cleandir make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel mergemaster -p 9. (merged required files) 10. make installworld mergemaster 11. reboot. Practically everything in ports actually builds. I've installed X, icewm, windowmaker, firefox36, thunderbird, gimp and a few others. I think I've eliminated all the cruft from 9.0. However, I can't build sudo (or screen) and I can't work out why.

Abstraction leakage burning test DVD+R
Hello, After my dump/restore test failed back in May of 2010[1], I finally got around to burning a test DVD after installing about 2.5 inches of semi-rigid foam under the machine to dampen any local vibration. In designing the test, I was under the mistaken impression that buffer under-runs would reduce the amount of space for writing. Apparently, DVD+R media supports loss-less linking[2]. Test Procedure (using ATAPI interface, rather than the newer ATAPI/CAM interface). The man pages do not imply any major differences for this test. The drive in question is a LG drive with the SuperMulti logo. Test procedure: 1.# mkfifo auxout aux45G 2. In other terminals: # cat auxout | md5 # dd if=aux45G count=2197266 bs=2048 | md5 3. Write test disk: # dd if=/dev/urandom bs=2048 count=2295104 | \ tee auxout aux45G | dd of=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 Error: dd:/dev/acd0: Input/output error 679+0 records in 678+0 records out 1388544 bytes transferred in 80.97 seconds (step 4 not completed due to premature burn failure after 684 blocks, 80 seconds (from 'dd if=aux45G'...) (15743 bytes/sec)) Drive spun up at least twice during this time. 4. Read test (in another term 'cat aux45G | md5') # dd if=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 count=2295104 | tee aux45G | md5 Questions: Currently, the drive is locked. Before forcefully ejecting it and risking an new disk, I want to know what may have gone wrong. Was I expecting too much of FreeBSD on old hardware? The hardware is a Pentium-II desktop machine with 256MB of RAM, with a Promise ATA100 controller card. An extra-long 80-wire cable is in use (to ad4). acd0: DVDR HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H55N/1.03 at ata-1-master UDMA33 ad4: 78167MB Maxtor 6Y080L0 YAR41WB0 at ata-2-master UDMA100 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/test Wrote at 4485315 bytes/second: faster than I was expecting (based on linux's slow urandom function), but still slow enough to cause buffer under-runs. So the second question is: do I have to do anything special to enable buffer underrun protection? (with DVD+R's lossless linking feature, no data should be lost.) How important is running ATAPI/CAM? Obviously DVD burning was happening before the release of version 8, as far as I know. If running out of data is supposed to be abstracted away, did I find a bug that only shows up on old hardware or heavy load? (Or possibly drive firmware bug?)

Problems removing non-empty directory through NFS
I have a NFS server configured on FreeBSD 9.0 Beta2 that only serves a
share through NFS v3 TCP. All the processes ( mountd, rpcbind, lockd,
etc ) are started with -h local ip on both the server and the clients.
The NFS clients range from FreeBSD 6.1 to 8.2.
On all the clients, it is impossible for me to erase a directory that
contains other data and is from that NFS share. I get this error:
rm -rf nick/
rm: fts_read: Input/output error
same is true if I give the full path:
rm -rf /usr/nfs.mount/nick
rm: fts_read: Input/output error
if the directory is empty, I can use rm -rf or rmdir without problems.
Besides this I can read all the files, erase files, chmod, chown, etc
without any problem. I just can't erase directories.
Running a truss on the rm -rf shows ( towards the end ):

FS of choice for max random iops ( Maildir )
I have a new server that I would like to use as a back-end Maildir storage shared through NFS. The specs are: FreeBSD 9.0 Beta 2 Xeon x3470 @ 2.93 quad-core CPU 4 GB Ram @ 1333mhz ( upgrading to 12GB tomorrow ) 3WARE 9650SE-16LP card with write cache enabled ( battery is installed ) 16 x WD RE3 1TB drives RAID 10 setup Right now I defined an entire array of 8TB ( all 16 disks ) separated in two pieces. 50 GB for FreeBSD to boot and the rest available to configure as storage. I've tried three options for the storage file system but I'm not sure which one is the best option since I can't really reproduce production conditions. I only ran tests with dd and bonnie and here's what I found: A. TEST1: dd bs=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/data/t1 count=1M 1. ZFS performed the worst, averaging 67MB/sec 2. UFS + gjournal did around 130MB/sec 3. UFS did around 190MB/sec B. TEST2 ( random file creation ): bonnie++ -d /data -c 10 -s 0 -n 50 -u 0 1. UFS + gjournal performed the worst 2. ZFS performed somewhat better 3. UFS performed the best again ( about 50% better ) C. TEST3 ( sequential writing ): bonnie++ -d /data -c 10 -s 8088 -n 0 -u 0 1. UFS + gjournal crashed the box 2. ZFS performed average 3. UFS performed better than ZFS ( about 50% better ) I really like the concepts behind ZFS and UFS + Journaling but the performance hit is quite drastic when compared to UFS. What I'm looking for here is max IOPS when doing random read/writes. Is UFS the best choice for this ?

I believe that ZFS mirror gives you the best performance, but the least actual space. If you did make a raidz[1,2,3] try it with a mirror pool. Also do not use the raid function of your raid controller if you use ZFS, this way you loose the goodies of zfs. If you setup ZFS use JBOD on the raid controller. Gr Johan I simply did a : zpool create data da1 and no zfs-level raid. I also created a dataset - tried both with lzjb compression and without - but the results were similar, aka bad.

Terje Well, I tried disabling the ZIL on a new dataset. These are the commands that I ran: zpool create data da1 zfs create data/maildomains zfs set sync=disabled data/maildomains dd bs=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/data/maildomains/t1 count=1M 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out 1073741824 bytes transferred in 14.537711 secs (73859071 bytes/sec) Got a measly 74MB/sec.

You can't ask for advice, get it, do something completely different, and then complain that it didn't work. Neither can you ask people to donate their time, if you won't spend yours. In other words: if you won't listen, there's no point in us talking. However: Don't disable ZIL. Just don't. It's not the way to go. If you want to know why, google will help. Also, you're making some assumptions, such as the ZIL being bad for performance. That's not always the case. ZIL-writes are a rather nice load for spinning metal storage. Even if you write through cache, that can give you a boost on your real world workload. Which brings us to the third bit. You're benchmarking, not trying real world loads. That's the load you'll have to worry about, and it's the load zfs shines at. Thanks to the ZIL (the thing you're trying to kill, remember?) you can convert seek heavy writes to sequential zil-writes, freeing up disk bandwith for concurrent reads. If you want to test before spending money, try what Svein said. Set up a small logical volume (preferrably smaller than your controller cache, if it's large enough), then try that as a dedicated zil-device. Never tried that, but worth a shot. Terje It's not about spending money or not. I really want to use ZFS for some of its features ( journaled, snapshots, etc ) but it has to be a good fit for me. I'm not ignoring the advice I am given, just taking it with a grain of salt disabling the ZIL is recommended - sometimes - for NFS. As per hundreds of messages I've read from the Archive along with this page, http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide, it does appear that disabling the ZIL is a solution for NFS. Yes, they still recommend SSD drives and I fully understand that. My point was the following: Why is a sequential write test like dd slower on ZFS than on UFS ? The writes is already serialized so enabling/disabling the ZIL should have very little impact - which is indeed the case. I even went as far as disabling the cache flush option of ZFS through this variable: vfs.zfs.cache_flush_disable: 1, since I already have the write cache of the controller. I've also set some other variables as per the Tuning guide but according to several benchmarks ( iozone, bonnie++, dd ) ZFS still comes in slower than UFS at pretty much everything. Either I am missing something or there is something wrong with my setup. ___ 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

fetchmail in system-wide mode
Hello, On the Internet there are some sites where they say to start fetchmail(1) in system-wide should put these two options in rc.conf(5) : fetchmail_enable=YES fetchmail_polling_interval=60 Although the second is optional and at first has little to do with this question because this question is addressed rather to the first option. I searched in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and rc.conf(5) manual and find no reference to these two options. I have them in my rc.conf(5) but fetchmail(1) does not start automatically. In /usr/src/UPDATING not found any reference to it. Which is the correct way to start fetchmail(1) in system-wide?

Sorry, I hate to come to the list with such a stupid question.

Unfortunately, when I run the cvs commands suggested it can't seem to find it, and I'm wondering exactly what I'm missing. Network drops all the time, and won't handle any load, so assuming I only have amd64-8.2 base system utilities: CVSROOT=pserver:anon...@anoncvs.tw.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs cvs login cvs co ath cvs co ath_pci And downloading modules list doesn't show ath, if_ath, ath_pci, or anything with ath in it that is remotely related. As I understand it, cvs should be pulling from head by default right? So what am I missing? Or alternatively, how do I fix this wifi card- rebooting every time it drops is a PITA! :) Cheers - Message sent via Atmail Open - http://atmail.org/ ___ 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

Here's an approach that works quite well: First add to /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/etc/sup/stable.sup Then create the /etc/sup directory, and in it, create the file /etc/sup/stabe.sup with the following content: *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all The setting RELENG_8 will bring you the latest 8-STABLE. Maybe you should replace the servers with something near your location for better speed. Then, as root: # cd /usr/src # make update and you've got the current sources. I'm assuming also, then, that I will have to recompile my kernel won't I? Of course, and kernel and world have to be in sync, so building world is also needed. See the instructions in the Makefile's comment section: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. 4. can be combined by using the kernel target] # 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) # # See src/UPDATING `COMMON ITEMS' for more complete information. This is /usr/src/Makefile of course. So are you saying I can't just grab the ath module? I'd rather stick to release, but I guess if I'm having to rebuild the kernel each update...

ORBit not upgrading
I have a wee problem... :) I've been naughty because I've been
working on other things and I was going to simply rebuild this m/c
when I got the chance anyway. Unfortunately I've run into a problem
where I need to upgrade because I've found a bug in php 5.3.2 which is
killing me. So I've run an upgrade at a rather late date, and
alswell... except ORBit is not behaving.
I've checked UPDATING and looked into the Makefiles, but for the life
of me I can't fathom what the hell is going on. It is running thru the
checks and stalls completely here:

checking how to ignore standard include path...
Huh? Any reason it'd be looking for a non standard include path?
Whats the hold up?
Now this is ORBit-0.5.17_5, and I don't think a manual reinstall
would make much difference. But WTF? Any Ideas?
As for the php error: anybody have trouble with preg_match and the
subject string being a variable? If I manually put the contents in as
the subject it works, but it won't read out of the variable. I'm
actually exec something and the variable holds the output (and yes, it
does work, and the variable holds the info right- just ran a print on
the variable) but the stupid thing is sending me bald and I can't
register a bug before an upgrade.

Android usb tethering
Anyone tried the data tethering feature on the Android phones? I've tried cdce and tried modifying cdce but no luck. I need to regenerate the device list, but I haven't had any luck yet- simply running make doesn't work, and I've read Makefiles and googled out the wazoo. I tried modifying the details off the openmoko site for their data tether system (for FreeBSD8, mind), still no luck. Apparently it uses the cdc_ether RNDIS according to my Fedora shit media system. usbconfig concurs. Any hints, suggestions on how to further my investigations and getting this thing working? Anyone happen to be working on this?

8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick fixit - No USB devices found!
Hi, Just wondering if anyone else out there has successfully gotten the 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick fixit prompt up. It boots fine, and sysinstall comes up, but I continually get No USB devices found! when I go to the fixit/USB option. When I switch to the debug tty, I see da0, and all my device parameters. I've even created a second USB stick, and stuck it in and tried. No joy. Anyways, has anyone successfully gotten the 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick fixit prompt up?

There should be a da0a. Due to sysinstall weirdness, adding this USB support was somewhat of a hack, as it doesn't look for da0 - it looks for da0a. :P When I do Fixit/Shell and switch to tty3 I do: find /dev/ -name da0* and get: ./da0 ./da0a Is this what you mean by normal fixit shell? - Derek ___ 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
gcc -pg and ld error, cannot find -lgcc_p
On 7.2-RELEASE-p4, I have a very complicated C program:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
return 5;
}
I can compile this program (cc example.c -o example) and it compiles
and runs fine. However, if I try to enable profiling of this program by
compiling it as cc example.c -pg -o example I get an error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_p
Is there some port/package that I'm missing? A configuration somewhere? Why
is ld stumbling on the profiling flag?
Thanks.

Re: gcc -pg and ld error, cannot find -lgcc_p
Use sysinstall to add the proflibs distribution. Or one could rebuild/install world (and kernel if necessary) after investigating the NO_PROFILE option in /etc/make.conf. There's only a PERL_VERSION in make.conf. Since sysinstall doesn't work (this is -p4, not a base media install), how does one go about installing proflibs? I didn't see anything related to proflibs in the csup files. ___ 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
Graphics card recommendation
I'm in need of a new graphics card for a new computer, that I hope will run FreeBSD (with a strong preference for AMD64) and compiz-fusion on a dual-monitor, which I believe means the 3D acceleration has to be in good working order. I don't really care whether the graphics driver is binary, or freely-licensed. Has anyone bought a recent graphics card that they know to be working in x64 with 3D acceleration? I've heard Nvidea support is probably better than ATI. Some of the GPU choices I see are like GeForce 9400/9500/9600 GT, GSO, and/or GTX+ series or the GTS/GTX 2** series. Are some of those better-supported than others? I didn't see anything recent on this list or the website, and there wasn't much response on IRC. Recommendations would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, libarchive(3), which is used by tar(1) and cpio(1) on recent versions of FreeBSD, seems to have only read and extract support for ISO 9660 archives, and not write support (see libarchive-formats(5) or http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/wiki/LibarchiveFormats ). So while you could use tar(1) or cpio(1) to extract the contents of the dvd without mounting it in order to make your change, you would have to use some other tool to write the new .iso image, like mkisofs(8) from the sysutils/cdrtools-devel port. (And if the original image has extensions that are not supported by librarchive(3), you could use something like readcd(1) from that same port instead of tar(1) or cpio(1) to read and extract it.) If the linux suggestion fails I will try this one. Unfortunately I can't do Make release as it is not Freebsd. It is a Windows based boot cd.

I wonder if I can make it work under FreeBSD 7.2 After loading the module i got: bktr0: BrookTree 878 mem 0x93007000-0x93007fff irq 21 at device 8.0 on pci8 bktr0: [GIANT-LOCKED] bktr0: [ITHREAD] bktr0: Warning - card vendor 0xaa0c (model 0x146c) unknown. bktr0: Pinnacle/Miro TV, no tuner. bktr1: BrookTree 878 mem 0x93005000-0x93005fff irq 22 at device 9.0 on pci8 bktr1: [GIANT-LOCKED] bktr1: [ITHREAD] bktr1: Warning - card vendor 0xaa0d (model 0x146d) unknown. bktr1: Pinnacle/Miro TV, no tuner. bktr2: BrookTree 878 mem 0x93003000-0x93003fff irq 23 at device 10.0 on pci8 bktr2: [GIANT-LOCKED] bktr2: [ITHREAD] bktr2: Warning - card vendor 0xaa0e (model 0x146e) unknown. bktr2: Pinnacle/Miro TV, no tuner. bktr3: BrookTree 878 mem 0x93001000-0x93001fff irq 20 at device 11.0 on pci8 bktr3: [GIANT-LOCKED] bktr3: [ITHREAD] bktr3: Warning - card vendor 0xaa0f (model 0x146f) unknown. bktr3: Pinnacle/Miro TV, no tuner.

Re: you're not going to believe this.
Gary Kline: Http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/SPD/runcore-64gb-pata-mini-pci-e-pcie-ssd-for-asus-eee-pc-901-and-1000---backorder-runcore-64gb-pata-mini-pci-e-pcie-ssd-for-asus-eee-pc-901-and-1000--88DB-1224129741.jsp ... statement that this device lasts ten years before it fails to hold state. Roland Smith: The big difference is that it is much easier to tweak and change algorithms when doing it in software. Wojciech Puchar: This flash chips have to emulate hard drive, which slows them down manyfold ... has acceptable lifetime/reliability, and uses less power/generates less heat than traditional platter HD ... [F]or example wear leveling and emulation small blocks requires moving of data within flash, this lowers both performance and lifetime. I should know better, but I'm going to reply anyway. First, be careful about statements like 10 years before it fails to hold state. Usually that means if you write data to the device and put it on a shelf, you've got 10 years before the data is unreadable. Being marketing figures, these numbers are naturally stretched and inflated. Data retention is strongly dependent on ambient temperature, among other things. More to the point, that's a statistic you probably don't care about, because who's going to buy a $200+ SSD hard drive and then leave it on a shelf for a decade? The number you probably care about is how long _in active use_ the drive will last, and that's probably _not_ 10 years. The primary source of degredation (and eventually, failure) is writes, so minimizing writes will probably extend the drive's life. NAND Flash, as used in SSDs, is typically rated for (order of magnitude...) 10k write cycles. How many writes that gives you, once you put a bunch of chips together into an SSD and do wear leveling and all that, is anyone's guess. (The manufacturer probably knows, but won't tell you.) Current NAND Flash chips do ECC and wear leveling transparently. It is a significant time cost to move a block, so it's usually done when a block is already being erased. This eliminates half the time because you already know half the data trivially (it's being erased), and erase is already a long operation, so making it a little longer is less noticeable. Implementing wear leveling in OS-level software isn't feasible. As I mentioned, wear leveling happens within the chip, so the OS doesn't even know a block swap has occurred. (As an extension of this, the OS doesn't know what the write count is, per block.) The OS doesn't have access to physical parameters of the Flash cells (parameters the chip itself can measure on-the-fly) to know when a swap needs to occur. Depending on implementation, the OS may not even realize when (or how often) an ECC correction occurs. Wear leveling algorithms are anything but trivial, are usually are closely guarded trade secrets, and depend heavily on manufacturing process parameters that are themselves trade secret. (This is not to say a Flash-specific file system doesn't have value... you can probably get a lot just by caching writes as long as possible, and putting commonly-modified pieces of data near each other in the address space so they can be written together when updating is needed.) The SATA bridge does have a non-zero impact on read and write times. However, that impact is nowhere near manyfold the inherenet read/write time. In fact, it's pretty close to negligible. Most of the time is eaten up by multi-level cell sensing/placement, ECC correction, and as mentioned above, wear leveling (for writes). The lifetime and reliability of SSDs are less-than-or-equal-to the lifetime and reliability of spinning magnetic drives, so don't buy an SSD for that. Whether SSDs use less power is an open question. There's a lot of data going either way. The last comparison I saw suggested spinning drives average less power than their SSD counterparts. In any event, it's not clear-cut yet. SSDs probably do generate less heat (but I've not seen data on that). Of course, the access time on an SSD is order(s) of magnitude less than for a spinning drive, and that's cause enough for lots of people to buy one. And finally, wear leveling is just a fact of life with Flash. It's not a symptom of emulating a spinning drive or some particular block size. Wear leveling won't go away (and you won't gain back that part of the write time) by inventing a non-SATA, Flash-specific HD interface that nobody supports yet. In fact, Gary's link talks about a device with a PCIe interface, so the whole issue of acting like a spinning drive isn't applicable. ___ 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
Xorg manual configuration
I haven't got any response to Xorg in a jail, so I'll try and wing it... That said, I do need some help trying to figure out how to: 1. Determine exactly what Xorg is probing for (what details it needs, etc). So far I think I need memory address ranges, chipsets, etc. Found a lot of stuff in the log, but I'm not sure if its enough or all I need. 2. Then take the details and set them out in the Xorg.conf. (VideoAdaptor Section?) What I'm finding really annoying is why the manual configuration systems are completely unavailable as of now. I remember my first crack at getting X running on a 4.3 system, and having to go through screens of configurations for the monitor, card, inputs, etc. Ok, its cool now that we don't need to do this anymore, but it does kill things if you're trying this in a system which is restrictive. From all the info I gathered so far /dev/io is used for the probing. IF the details are entered manually, then surely this would mean it doesn't need io. I'm still not sure what to do about /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. This is just an experiment- please do humour me and let me have my fun trying to bang my head even against the brick wall- who knows?

libspectre - libgs = 8.61 problem
Morning All: While installing the kde4 port, I got to libspectre. The libspectre port insists that I must have libgs to compile it. After a little research, I found that this is a ghostscript library. So I installed the ghostscript-8.63 port. noe, libspectre insists that I have to have libgs version = 8.61. I checked /usr/local/lib and found the following: ls -l libgs.* libgs.so - libgs.so.8.63 libgs.so8 - libgs.so.8.63 libgs.so.8.63 So I'm guessing there's a problem in the configure script, but if there is, I can't find it. Then again, maybe I'm just missing something simple. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks.

Rsync always preserve owner/group
Hi list! I'm in the process of creating an automated update system based on SVN and rsync. I 'svn update' every night and then rsync the updated files from the working copy of SVN to the right folders. The problem I have is that when I rsync the files, the destination owner/group is set with the owner/group from the source file (the file from the SVN with a wrong owner/group). I don't want to modify the destination file owner/group but only update it's content. I'm not using any option with the rsync command. I also observed that the permissions are not changed in the transfer, which is a normal behaviour and perfect in my situation. Example: ll /usr/local/etc/scripts/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 psm psm2754 Mar 17 10:51 wakeup.sh And the details of the source file: ll /root/update/scripts/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2754 Mar 13 11:37 wakeup.sh Execution of the rsync command: rsync /root/update/scripts/wakeup.sh /usr/local/etc/scripts/ ll /usr/local/etc/scripts/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 2754 Mar 17 10:59 wakeup.sh I also tried to explicitly disable preserve group with --no-g but got the same result.

Re: Ports Collection
Quick question Why are you using 6.4 instead of the latest (7.1)? Keep in mind that gnome2 has a lot of dependencies. That's just the nature of gnome2. When you say it didn't finish, did it stop and give you an error? When compiling gnome2 on FreeBSD, depending on your hardware, it can take quite a while to complete and sometimes it'll take up to a few hours to finish. I recommend you take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html as it will give you a lot of helpful information on installing and running gnome2 on FreeBSD. -- Jacques Manukyan Mario PNH wrote: I really liked the FreeBSD running on my ASUS desktop, until I tried to install gnome2 and I was surprised that it never finished it, during which it created some 20 and more user groups like 'nobody', 'anonymous', 'aiviah', 'games', etc ... and I am wondering if that was a normal process. # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 # make install clean I have burned the DVD of 6.4 version lately and I don't know if that's all I needed to install gnome2 instead of using Ports Collection.

Thanks for your precious help, The problem isn't in the last line. That's just a common impression when an error message isn't clear. You have to understand that the rc.d system, while it makes creating startup scripts easier, obfuscates (to some degree) what's going on in the backround. If you'll notice, there is no eval command in the snort startup script. What's being parsed by eval is /etc/rc.conf. If you'll look at /etc/rc.subr, you'll see that it uses eval to assess the values that you have assigned to the various variables used in the snort startup script. For example, it checks to see if you've enabled the script by evaluating /etc/rc.conf for the line scriptname_enable=YES. It checks the run_rc_command to see if the name is correct, what, if any, the arguments are that should be appended to the run command, what, if any, the extra arguments are, and so forth. I'll bet you have a snort variable in /etc/rc.conf that isn't quoted correctly. Send us the results of this command: grep snort /etc/rc.conf It should look something like this: # grep snort /etc/rc.conf snort_enable=YES snort_flags=-u snort -g snort -Dq snort_interface=bge0 Thanks a lot!

Re: Disabling write cache on eSATA enclosures
I've got an external eSATA enclosure as well which is using a Silicon Image Chipset and its connected to a Silicon Image SATA controller just like yours. So far, I haven't figured out how to turn off the write cache. I even tried playing with it on Windows (both XP Vista) and so far, there is no way to disable it. This seems like a common problem with Silicon Image Chipset + Silicon Image SATA controller. There's a lot of complains on google about this but no fixes that work.

BUT, /var/log/messages continue to tell me that: Feb 4 16:09:29 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to UP Feb 4 16:19:26 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN Feb 4 16:19:30 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to UP Feb 4 16:19:32 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN during the transfer (which worked OK).

Add -tso to the relevant line in /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_re0=inet 192.168.1.103 netmask 255.255.255.0 -tso Adding -tso stops the link up / link down problem. Now I am understand that this may increase cpu if the traffic on the nic is high. I am sure some one the list will know of any other implications this may have. It is a known problem and I site I read the bug had been submitted so hopefully it wont exist in 8.0 Regards Graeme As I stated in my last post, I tried to disable a few options, including TSO. Still, I gived a try to your workaround. I now have this line in rc.conf: ifconfig_re0=DHCP -tso but I have the same problem (it disconnect every 10 minutes and ask for an IP to the DHCP).

/var grows, apache open file, which file?
Hi List, I noticed that my var slice is getting eaten by apache. The amount of free space is getting less and less per day. So I started to investigate. I did the following; # fstat -u www | grep var | more www httpd 970429 /var 74653 -rw--- 176907484 w www httpd 97042 12 /var 71575 -rw--- 1345623 w www httpd 97042 13 /var 24693 -rw-r--r-- 0 w www httpd 97042 15 /var 70919 -rw--- 0 w www httpd 97042 16 /var 70919 -rw--- 0 w www httpd 260599 /var 74653 -rw--- 176907484 w www httpd 26059 12 /var 71575 -rw--- 1345623 w So I have an Inumber, lets search for that. # find / -inum 74653 /usr/ports/net/pptpclient/files This confuses me! That is on a different slice. When I restart apachectl the space is reclamed and I've got a normal usage of /var. # apachectl -v Server version: Apache/2.2.11 (FreeBSD) Server built: Jan 11 2009 22:01:58 # uname -a FreeBSD wolverine.superhero.nl 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan 6 07:44:32 CET 2009 drmanhat...@wolverine.superhero.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WOLVERINE i386 Any thoughts?

That is on a different slice. Then that is not the inode you are looking for. Use find -x /var ... to doesnt return anything. limit the search to just the /var mountpoint. Your problem is probably due to a bad logfile rotator that isn't signalling apache to closereopen the logs, so it keeps logging to a file you have deleted. If you're using newsyslog, make sure you have listed your apache pidfile on the line correspoinding to any apache logs so it knows which process to signal. See the newsyslog.conf manpage for more details. Added /var/run/httpd.pid to newsyslog.conf and restarted apache.

OT: SVN checkout checksumming
Hi everyone, I have asked this question on the svnforum.org and didn't got a good answer, so I try it here. I want to use SVN to automate the update process of a custom application. So, I'm planning to indicate to every PC to update periodically to a specific branch of the repository. The problem is that I need to be sure the files where not corrupted during the transfer. So, I'm planning to generate the hash (SHA or MD5, doesn't really matters) of every file downloaded by SVN on the client. For this to work, I need to compare the hashes with their server-side equivalent. I looked at the post-commit hooks and it looks pretty interesting but is anyone doing something similar? How are you creating the file containing the hash of the committed file? I got 2 answers on the forum from people thinking that SVN takes care of the checksumming by itself, but I would like a little more information than that. What is the algorithm used would be a nice start. Thank you for sharing your OT knowledge!

Strange fetch behaviour
Hi everyone, I'm totally mystified by this one: I have a shell script that fetch a couple of RSS feeds periodically. It worked fine. I now want to integrate a 3 times retry if the fetch fails. The logic of the script if now good but when I'm testing the script by unplugging the network cable to confirm that the script is retrying I can see that fetch always succeed to download, even with the cable unplugged! There is the output received by email from cron: fetch: http://www.cyberpresse.ca/rss/225.xml: No address record Let's wait...actualites.xml 0 fetch: http://www.cyberpresse.ca/rss/225.xml: No address record Let's wait...actualites.xml 1 fetch: http://www.cyberpresse.ca/rss/225.xml: No address record Let's wait...actualites.xml 2 Let's continue... /usr/local/www/canadien.xml 10 kB 479 kBps /usr/local/www/insolite.xml 9329 B 448 kBps ... But the cable is still unplugged! Every feed comes from the same source (cyberpresse.ca) At the beginning, my script used ftp instead of fetch, but I got the same result. I'm using a simple 'fetch -o actualites.xml http://www.cyberpresse.ca/rss/225.xml' command that take the output file and the source file from a variable. I could paste the code but there's part of it in French so I'll just start with this. I'm wondering if there is any sort of caching or verification that if the output file is already there not to download again? I know it's silly but I'm totally confused... Thanks for your help.

the 6.1-RELEASE disc 1 that I also found. So I think all install/lifefs

or 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso (depending on your hardware
architecture) from your nearest ftp mirror.
Hi Roland,
While still on this topic...
Now that FreeBSD went DVD, does one still need the
X.Y-RELEASE-i386{amd64}-livefs.iso still, or the DVD had a complete
livefs functionality as well?
It worked perfectly with the DVD of 7.1-RELEASE for i386.
Thanks a lot Roland for your precises answers. You're saving me a lot of
time.

Advice for dump/restore over SSH
Hi everyone, I'm having difficulties trying to clone a FreeBSD 7.1 PC to another exact same PC over SSH. There is my the things I tried: I found that link http://devpit.org/wiki/Dump_and_Restore_over_SSH which seemed exactly what I wanted. The problem is that FreeSBIE is not working on this PC (Dell Vostro 220 Slim). It seems to be a problem with the disk controler (can't mount the / partition). So, I decided to install a minimal FreeBSD 7.1 on the PC to be cloned. I'm trying to dump/restore the /usr partition but I got warnings with the files already being present and it finally crashed SSHd just after transfering /usr/lib/libssl.so. After that, there is nothing to do with the PC, SSHd refuse to restart (segmentation fault). The other soon to be a problem is to dump/restore the / partition (the kernel and the others currently used files). My question is how do you clone PC over SSH (it would be too much a PITA to open each case to plug the HD directly in the source PC).
