FreeBSD can mount and use filesystems created on partitions inside
'extended partition' type slices (cue standard exposition of the
difference between partitions and slices in FreeBSD-speak.) True.
However, I believe that you may well have difficulty *booting*
FreeBSD unless the kernel (ie. /boot) can be read from a primary
partition.
I presume the purpose of boot0ext.S is to build a boot0 (FreeBSD MBR)
variant capable of booting from what MS call an extended partition
-- boot0.S being used when booting from a primary partition -- but
I've never tried to use it. I'm having enough fun trying to boot
from a _different_ unusual configuration.
Diffing boot0.S and boot0ext.S shows the latter to be a two-sector (1KB)
boot with more detailed strings about different partition types, some
difference in SIO code, support for 'BIOS EDD extensions' and CHS vs LBA
(ie, older stuff) but nothing I could spot towards decoding 'extended
partitions'; it seems from CVS logs to have been kept as a nod to jhk's
original 2-sector boot0 code, and hasn't been touched for 7 years.
Having run OS/2 for several years before moving to FreeBSD in '98 I had
to learn about mounting 'drives' within 'extended partitions' as adXs5,
adXs6 etc, to recover about 7 OS/2 filesystems from 2 disks. Last I
looked the HPFS code was still in the tree, only needing compiling; very
similar to the (old) NTFS code by the same author, it worked fine R/O.
Anyway, space allocation within the 'extended partition' is implemented
as a linked list, so booting from one of these used to need something
like OS/2's boot manager (itself consuming a small primary partition) or
GRUB ono to chase down and load the desired boot partition, assuming you
managed from the command line to newfs it as UFS in the first place (?)
Also, I don't think sysinstall(8) groks extended partitions very
well,
if at all ...
Not at all; sysinstall just sees it as a primary partition (ie FreeBSD
slice) of type 0x05 (IIRC) ie as a non-bootable partition, completely
ignored by boot0{,ext} or any 'normal' MBR code for that matter .. the
FreeBSD convention of naming these as s5 etc is a convenient fiction.
so you will probably have some fun doing the actual installation.
Indeed.
Best left as an exercise for the (morbidly curious) student :)

Query about FreeBSD and primary partitions requirements
hello. Some time ago, I asked on this list, about installing FreeBSD, and it was then confirmed that FreeBSD requires to be installed in a primary partition. That is consistent with the current FreeBSD Handbook, which states FreeBSD must be installed into a primary partition. However, in the last couple of days, I have been advised that FreeBSD can be installed in, and, quite happily runs in, a logical partition within an extended partition. Has anyone other than the person who advised me of that, tested the installation and operation of FreeBSD, within a logical patition of an extended partition, that has given a result that confirms that FeeBSD can now be successfully installed and run, in a logical partition of an extended partition of a hard drive?

slightly complex query - one machine with two network interfaces
Hello list, I hope you can help. I have a freebsd 8.0-R machine with a wired and a wireless interface. The wired network has real IP addresses. I want the wireless to talk to the wireless network which is behind a NAT/firewall. The wireless interface on the freebsd box does not want to route traffic (although it would be nice if it could function as a repeater if a wireless laptop was in the vicinity closer to it than the actual access point, but that's another matter). All I want the wireless interface on the freebsd box to do right at this moment is to talk to the other wireless devices. The network is 192.168.0.0/24 Now, if I bring both interfaces up on the freebsd box, routing on that box turns horrible. but the routing table looks normal with 0.0.0.0 traffic going out on the wired re0 interface. I can ping the wireless interface from another computer on the private network, but that's about it. Can anyone give me pointers on how to make the wireless interface more usable? basically, I want to export via either nfs or samba some shares to the wireless network, but routing ropiness seems to kill this. cheers -- John - comp dot john at googlemail dot com OpenBSD firewall | FreeBSD desktop | Ubuntu Karmic laptop GPG: 0xF08A33C5 ___ 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

Can anyone give me pointers on how to make the wireless interface more usable? basically, I want to export via either nfs or samba some shares to the wireless network, but routing ropiness seems to kill this. Hmmm... this isn't a particularly complex setup really. By bringing up your wireless i/f and assigning it an IP and netmask, you should create a route to the directly attached network (192.168.0.0/24) automatically. Given that, you should certainly have the capability to ping other hosts on that network, and they should be able to ping you. If there isn't an entry for 192.168.0.0/24 in the output of % netstat -rn (note: it may be printed as 192.168.0/24) then try something like this: # route add -net 182.168.0.0/24 -interface wlan0 wlan0 should be the correct interface on 8.0-R but other OS versions will probably need to substitute the particular device matching their hardware. If that doesn't work, then please show us some real data: the output from # ifconfig -a # netstat -rn plus any /etc/rc.conf settings relating to ifconfig or wlan. Once you've got the basic networking going, it's downhill from there. You'll need to provide some sort of means of doing name resolution for the wireless network (minimally this means adding entries to /etc/hosts, but it could require fiddling with /etc/resolv.conf or other possibilities). You need to be careful that the source address of packets you send into the wireless lan is the IP number on your wlan interface otherwise hosts on the wlan will send their replies out through the NAT gateway (their default route) instead of straight back to you. By and large this will just work automatically -- there are some software packages where you can override the normal behaviour, but presumably you should know if you've set up anything like that. If you suspect this is a problem, use tcpdump or wireshark to capture and examine the traffic passing across your wlan interface.

a (hopefully) simple newbie zfs query regarding available space

My understanding of the project we have been asked to do is that we go to the Pinnacle server, query the data base and look for a given flag that something new is here, pull in what is new, massage some headers and then send them to another device. Only the initial retrieval uses the oracle data base, but it is not a data base we control so we get it from the Pinnacle server and we will have to speak in tones it likes.:-) Martin McCormick ___ 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

Query on kgdb output
Hi, I'm seeing regular kernel panics on my new box with a fresh install of 7.0-RELEASE.

I believe the status is the problem is understood but the solution will take a lot of time. I have one of those idiot boxes and FreeBSD i386 boots fine on it, and runs mostly well, so if that's acceptable to you, that's the workaround. The only problems I've had with i386 are that the video card is a bit goofy (I've mostly solved that) and the sound system acts strange (which I haven't had time to investigate), but other than that it seems to run fine. But I won't voluntarily have anything to do with another HP computer if I can avoid it -- this thing didn't even have correct Windows drivers for some of its hardware. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try: cat /dev/sndstat and see if it reports anything. Try loading the driver by hand at the console and see if it reacts (cat /dev/sndstat): kldload snd_hda Also read the specifics on FreeBSD audio driver installation on the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html IIRC, PC-BSD tries to probe all soundcards on startup, so if you have no sound it may well be your card is unsupported. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Different DNS responses depending on query source
The host that runs my internal DNS server is down for the count (I've already replaced the power supply on it once, and I don't feel like doing it again). Although I had other uses planned for that machine, the only useful thing it was doing was DNS for a local net and DHCP, the latter I've moved to my firewall box (running m0n0wall). So, until I build a replacement machine, I'd like to run the DNS service on 6.2-RELENG machine on my DMZ. However I have a conflict between providing IPs for the outside world to see, eg n114.ewd.goldmark.org172.64.118.114 versus what I want when querying from the local network, eg, n114.ewd.goldmark.org10.1.10.131 Also there are some internal names (eg, fluffy.ewd.goldmark.org) which shouldn't be advertised to the outside world at all. The obvious answer would be to run two instances of bind, listening on different IPs (possibly using jails). But I don't have an IP address to spare on the DMZ. So is there a way to have bind listening on the only interface and IP address the host can have give different answers depending on where the query comes from?

Xvnc query to gdm failing
Hi all, I'm trying to use VNC to log into my FreeBSD laptop from another laptop [why? to learn how], but I'm stuck. I'm logged into gdm using display 0, typing this email at the keyboard that's physically attached to the gdm box. I'm getting the grey screen problem when I log in remotely though. The VNC client connects to Xvnc fine, but the gdm login client does not appear on the VNC display. A quick netstat -an | grep 177 shows port udp/177 in LISTEN mode, as expected. I figure perhaps it's a user permissions problem. I'm using xinetd to run Xvnc as user nobody, so perhaps nobody has no access rights to gdm? The only problem is, I can't seem to find gdm.conf. It doesn't exist on the system. The command sudo find / | grep gdm.conf yields nothing. Where is it storing its settings if not in gdm.conf?

We both got halfway there, thus yielding a complete solution. For some reason gdm.conf exists in some versions of gdm before 2.18, but not in 2.18 itself. Guess who updated recently? :D Presumably users were having terrible difficulties with a file called gdm.conf. Possibly it was confusing or something. Anyway, the gdm devs changed it to custom.conf in /usr/local/etc/gdm/ and I'm sure they were right to do so. Sigh. Hey, I said something pretty stupid... I said the UDP port was in LISTEN mode. Of course UDP ports normally wait for datagrams, not listen for connections. Although as I understand it UDP sockets can be configured for streams. But that's not the point, because I was reading the line above in error. Whoops! :D No luck with Xvnc/gdm yet. I tried setting the gdm user to nobody as well, but it hasn't helped. I'll go back to this tomorrow, my brain hurts. I'll get on with some nice simple Apache chrooting instead.

Once the vesa driver has that sorted out, though, the nv driver seems to work reliably for me, and seems to be slightly faster, thanks (I think) to some 2D acceleration. Other things the nv driver won't do for me: power control of the monitor from screen-saver, and ability to drive my display at its rated 1600x1200 resolution (logs claim that it's restricted to 1280x1024 by BIOS, whatever that means...)

Quoth Nikolas Britton on Tue, Mar 13, 2007 at 14:58:34 -0500 We need to start hounding on AMD to publish the developer documentation for all radeon chipsets. I for one will not buy any AMD or ATI components until they decide to fix the problem. It is not a problem but a marketing decision we know nothing about. I have seen Linux drivers, Windows drivers and Mac drivers from their site. I am sure that if we asked in a reasonable and polite fashion we could convince them to release the drivers for *BSD -- or make the Linux ones in such a way that they work on *BSD. Hounding them is not going to help. It will harm our cause. Give him your two cents. Please, do not do that. It will hinder. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=*=- www.kierun.org PGP: 009D 7287 C4A7 FD4F 1680 06E4 F751 7006 9DE2 6318 pgpNZdhWWBTeR.pgp Description: PGP signature

But the vesa driver is working just fine for me. I tried to get a vesa working with a Radeon X1900 and the screen resolution is rather poor. I certainly cannot seem to get it at 1600x1200 which is what I am used to. See my previous post if you think you can improve on that. I can live without fancy GL screen savers but having a tiny screen is rather irritating. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=*=- www.kierun.org PGP: 009D 7287 C4A7 FD4F 1680 06E4 F751 7006 9DE2 6318 pgpqkGO6fW708.pgp Description: PGP signature

But it turned out to be a flaw in the motherboard BIOS. Updating the motherboard BIOS (which was an intel server board) fixed the problem for me. Maybe you have a similar problem, or maybe not.
