Re: how to use the MFS ?

2009-01-09 Thread chris.scott

cd /usr/ports as normal

have a look at  man mount_unionfs

your basically stacking fs on top of each other
writes goto the tmpfs as its at the top of the stack

its not persistent over boots mind

i think the option WRKDIRPREFIX  is a good idea , and i whill test the

but i want to know , after i mount the unionfs , like this :#mount -t 
unionfs  /usr/ports /usr/ports.real

the /usr/ports is  memery FS, what can i used to install software ??
go to the dir : /usr/ports/**/** to install ,
or go to dir dir : /usr/ports.real/*/* to install ??

thank all!!

quicker to do


mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.real

mkdir /usr/ports
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /usr/ports
mount -t unionfs -o noatime /usr/ports /usr/ports.real


of cause tmpfs can actually start using disk space unlike a md
device so if you eat up to much ram with the compiles it will slow
down

or you should be able to use unionfs to mount the md1 device over 
/usr/ports if in not mistaken

Set WRKDIRPREFIX to point to a directory in your mfs filesystem, and
all the .../work/ directories will get created there.

Re: Best torrent client/server available for FreeBSD?

2009-01-08 Thread chris.scott
torrentflux is good php web based one, the inbuilt searches dont work 
any more but there is a nice plugin for firefox that enables you to just 
right click on the torrent file and push it to the server.

Re: DHCP and Bridge mode

2009-01-08 Thread chris.scott
What you are doing wont work as every machine has to have an individual 
ip address unless your talking multicast


If you are trying to provide some fault tolerance eg two routers you 
should look at using carp. This will aloow you to have a floating ip 
between two or more machines. Only one machine has it at any one time 
though.

Hello,

I am trying to get two machines on the LAN share the same IP address 
assigned by DHCP server by using the bridge interface in rc.conf. But 
I have encountered two problems here.


First, the B machine (the one that gets the same IP address as the 
main A machine) has no problem accessing the Internet. The A machine, 
however, seems to have DNS problems as it cannot resolve any addresses.


And the second problem I've faced is that I cannot figure out how to 
use SSH to connect to the A machine from the B machine if they both 
share the same IP address. Or is there a better way to have that kind 
of remote access?


Warm thank you for all the hints.

Re: Kernel messages redirection

2009-01-07 Thread chris.scott
typical, after hunting around for a few days and not no luck, i get luck 
just after giving in and posting to this list

8/

$ sysctl -a| grep mute
kern.consmute: 0

does the job

setting it in boot/loader.conf makes the kernel silently boot

but im setting in in /etc/sysctl.conf so it set at userland.

This way i can see the kernel boot normally rather than looking like its 
hung, no anoying geom messages now


hmm, now to tidy up stuff that looked like it was working nicely before 
i ran it in the root console

Look at conscontrol(8) as one option. ( There may be other ways that
work better for your case, but I have used conscontrol on my
7.0-RELEASE machine before with success )

You can use conscontrol(8) to either mute, or redirect kernel messages
to another virtual console.

Good Luck.

---Dave Horn

  

eg when you plug in a usb disk you get a load of messages to the 1st screen
console

I am writing a custom installer and its a pain as every time I label and
geom provider it spams a load of stuff and messes up my nice display. This
is nothing to do with syslog as I have already turned off logging to
/dev/console, ive tried a few curious looking sysctl varibles but not found
anything that works yet.

pci serial card issues

2007-09-30 Thread chris.scott

Hi

i'm running freebsd stable (last build 28th) and am having a few issues 
with 2 pci serial cards. Basically I'm trying to build a serial server. 
However the driver doesn't seem to work correctly.


Sep 28 22:18:56 boxster puc0:  port 
0xce00-0xce07,0xcc00-0xcc07,0xca00-0xca07,0xc800-0xc807,0xc600-0xc607,0xc400-0xc40f

irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0

Sep 28 22:18:56 boxster puc1: could not get resource


they are both 6 port serial pci cards, and are listed in the puc driver 
as supported. The  pc is quite old so Im not sure if whats causing any 
issues. I have tried the bios with pnpos enables and disabled but it 
makes little difference. I have also tried with one card and the issue 
is the same.


I have also disabled the pcs onboard serial ports and still no go

I have disabled  ACPI with hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" this seems to stop 
the resource error but I dont get any additional cuad devices



$ pciconf -l -v | grep -B 4 UART
