regardinf Virtual File system VOP_RENAME_APV function.
Hi FreeBSD Team,
I am implementing a stackable file system similar to NULLFS and I have question
on VOP_RENAME_APV function.
In VOP_RENAME_APV function:
VOP_RENAME_APV(struct vop_vector *vop, struct vop_rename_args *a)
{
int rc;
if (vop->vop_rename != NULL)
rc = vop->vop_rename(a);
else
rc = vop->vop_bypass(&a->a_gen);
vop_rename_post(a, rc);
return (rc);
}
I want to know that what is the importance of vop_rename_post function.
Actually I returned "EXDEV" from my file system, but still vop_rename_post
function is doing rename operation.
I want to know whether it is having default implementation of rename
functionality, can I use this function for rename operation directly because I
do not have anything new to do in rename functionality.
Please let me know, Is there any document which will talk how to write
filesystem in FreeBSD environment?
Thanks in advance,
BalajiC

socket bind failure - errno 49
Hi, I have tried searching the archives and in vain. Hence i am posting to this group. If this not the right one, pls direct me. I am using FreeBSD 6.1. Initially i was able to create socket, bind it and do all sorts of things. But when i tried now, it isn't working. I am trying after a long gap. The errno is 49 - invalid address. I used gethostbyname and it returns whatever is there in /etc/hosts. I have checked the /etc/resolv.conf. My config details are /etc/rc.conf hostname="Balaji" /etc/hosts 192.168.1.1 Balaji 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 I tried setting Balaji to 0.0.0.0, still it doesn't work. Pls help me. Also, when my system boots, couple of eye-catchy messages syslogd: can't bind address sm_mta[root]:syserror : can't assign address // i hope this is wrt mail/smtp My suspect is that, the error happens after my system was shutdown improperly(sudden power off and my laptop battery isn't working, and ofcourse i am freebsd on my toshiba tera laptop - P4). I have done fdisk to ensure my disk is clean.

FreeBSD 7.0
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 6.1 on my laptop. I understand that FreeBSD 7.0 will have ZFS file system. I did go through the sun website to understand the advantages of ZFS. Given that, will FreeBSD have a BTree/B+Tree(replicating c++ multimaps, but file based) by default on ZFS which i guess should be very useful for persons like me who do not want a full fledged database with all SQL features. I am aware of the existence of dbm/ndbm/gdbm, but i guess all support hash. If my thoughts are wrong, pls correct me. I also hope that i have sent to the correct mailing list. Thanks, Balaji.

MATLAB R13
Hi, I installed MATLAB as per the FreeBSD Handbook. I am able to run MATLAB except that I get the following error messages: --- When starting license manager: $/usr/local/etc/rc.d/flexlm.sh start usage: expr [-e] expression /usr/local/etc/lmboot_TMW: [: -ne: unary operator expected etc... usage: expr [-e] expression /usr/local/etc/lmboot_TMW: [: -ne: unary operator expected MATLAB_lmgrd When starting MATLAB: $matlab -nojvm expr: illegal option -- r usage: expr [-e] expression /compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/bin/matlab: [: -ne: unary operator expected After this, I am able to run MATLAB. However, I have MAPLE installed and due to this error (I think), I am unable to call MATLAB from it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, BB PS: Two minor comments on Sec. 22.5: * The license manager cannot be started as root. Perhaps it would be helpful if the prompt in 22.5.2, item 3 were changed to %. * I am able to run MATLAB with jvm. For that I linked the jre to jre1.1.8, instead of jre1.3.1. I have problems shutting it down though; need to use kill -9. But it is possible to run the full MATLAB under NetBSD using Sun's latest JDK (version 1.4.2).(http://www.netbsd.org/gallery/in-Action/).

RE: Number of mbuf clusters (NMBCLUSTERS)
You can increase the maximum number of clusters in /usr/src/sys/sys/sysctl.h and recompile the kernel. But make sure that you have a stable kernel image ready, just in case you increase this value so much that your kernel doesn't boot ;) I guess the default value is around 9, while for 256MB mem, you can go upto maybe 1 clusters.

RE: giving priority to udp over tcp?
TCP traffic as such does not get any priority over UDP traffic, but the way in which the TCP messages are sent (Data Streaming) is different from the way UDP messages are sent (Datagram). In essense, UDP messages wait till there's enough space for the entire message before the message is added to the output queue. Whereas, if there isn't enough space for the entire message, a part of the message is sent and the rest buffered. So, it might appear to be getting higher priority for some applications.

RE: help !!!
Is this printer on the network, or a local setup? If it is on the network -- check if your/it's IP address, etc are configured correctly. Are you able to access other machines from your machine? Are other machines able to access the printer? If it's a local setup == check dmesg for peripheral devices. If it's a standard printer, FreeBSD might have (hopefully) detected it. Just guesses.

The reason why this output would have come up is that you might have initialized the system to use the S/Key one time passwords -- probably using keyinit.

RE: Question on order and targets of kernel and world builds
Nope. buildworld != builkernel. But buildworld does link the libraries. For example if you have a system call and a corresponding library, buildkernel will not be sufficient for you to allow the library call to invoke the corresponding system call -- however a buildworld would do that.

RE: Question on order and targets of kernel and world builds
"make buildworld" -- builds the kernel and the libraries (both kernel and user level) "make buildkernel" -- builds only the kernel You can build kernels with different configuration files using "make buildkernel KERNCONF=".

Unable to compile the kernel
I added a system call to the FreeBSD-4.6 kernel and compiled the kernel, it compiled properly. Now, in my new kernel, if I try to make some changes in the system call (very minor changes) and recompile the kernel, it gives a compilation error and stops. I removed all the changes I had made and tried to compile the kernel again, but it didn;t help. Essentially, I'm not able to make changes and re-compile from my kernel, but am able to do the same from the generic kernel. The only difference between my kernel and the generic kernel is an additional system call. Did anyone else have such a problem? Any suggestions? Tips?

Library functions
I was having some problem adding a new library call in FreeBSD. I added a
simple library function in /usr/src/lib/libc/net and did a "make buildworld"
on /usr/src. It compiled properly, but I'm not able to use the library call
in my programs. Am I doing something wrong?
Here's the file added to /usr/src/lib/libc/net:
--
mycall.c:
#include
#include
int
mycall (a)
{
return (a);
}
---
mycall.h (Added to /usr/include/net/)
#ifndef _NET_MYCALL_H_
#define _NET_MYCALL_H_
int mycall __P((int));
#endif
On compilation the user program says: undefined reference to 'mycall'

One more question on System Calls
I have now been able to add my own system call, but right now, I'm able to access it only through the system(param) command. How do I let my program directly call the function? For example if my system call is: mycall (void) with a syscall number as 300.

RE: Problem adding new system call!!
I added a header file which prototypes the system call. Btw, I forgot to mention that I changed the libc/sys/Makefile.inc file to add the system call stub too.

RE: XFree86 4.2 screen resolutions
Also, where are you copying the newly created XF86Config files? FreeBSD used to let me copy them to a number of locations, but the current version works only if I copy it to /etc/X11 (don't know if the case is the same with the others too).

Problem adding new system call!!
I was trying to add a system call to my kernel. I did the following steps: 1. Added my ".c" file in the list of files to be compiled at /usr/src/sys/conf/files 2. Added the system call entry to /usr/src/sys/kern/inet_sysent.c and /usr/src/sys/kern/syscall.master 3. Added the argument structure and prototype to /usr/src/sys/sys/sysproto.h 4. Added a user accessible header file to /usr/include/netinet/ It doesn't seem to work. The kernel compiles and loads without any problem, but the user application says that the header file definition is an invalid macro. I'm not following any manual, but just using my Linux experience with FreeBSD (It's not good enough I guess :-(). Any suggestions?

No. http//www.freebsd.org has no http mirrors to download FreeBSD. You have only ftp mirrors out there. Why do you need a http mirror anyway? Something you can't do with a ftp mirror?

RE: bootloader
I'm not too sure about this. My impression was that all bootloaders (including grub) load themselves into the primary disk -- do you have an option to specify which harddisk you want to load to. Infact that's the reason why most (if not all) Operating Systems need the primary partition to be on the primary harddisk.

RE: bootloader
The bootloader is always installed on the primary harddisk! Infact the primary partition of FreeBSD also is installed on the primary harddisk. This is my guess, maybe I'm wrong -- Run cfdisk on linux as root -- you might find some FreeBSD partition. Delete it! (or convert to linux native).
