Re: Hyper-V Disk Performance

Thanks for the helpful response. FYI, I did some more research and discovered that Hyper-V doesn’t support booting from virtual SCSI drives, so that solves that. I have another vm running on my laptop under KVM that runs substantially faster than the hyper-v vm. My laptop is far below the hy

Hyper-V Disk Performance

Is there a recommended configuration for virtual disks in Hyper-V? I have a virtual machine that I set up recently running 6.2 that has *very* slow disk performance. It took well over an hour to untar ports.tar.gz. The host server is a few years old, but it's running 3 RAID-5 7200rpm drives, qua

Deal, I'll redesign it, with imsg and privsep to do the inet functions. In the process it'll probably fix what I want from it. Thanks! -peter On 10/23/17 19:25, Theo de Raadt wrote: > Basically, you want your program to be able to do everything. > > pledge isn't a wand you wave over software a

Re: is there something missing in pledge?

Oh hahahahahah, you are trying to backup / including this file /etc/spwd.db which you are not allowed to read! Look, your design is flawed. Look at your pledge call: stdio cpath rpath wpath inet dns exec proc Basically, you want your program to be able to do everything. pledge isn't a wan

Hi Peter, no cpio(1) is not wrong, you're just trying to access a file through your program AND cpio(1) that for security reasons otherwise shouldn't be the way you're doing it. why reinventing the wheel? can't you just use dump(1) -f or send it via other means? if you really want to use your pr

Hi, It unfortunately is not that simple to me. Because I don't have any getpw* code really. But when I take getpw out of pledge it aborts the program upon execution like so: beta# rbdaemon -s 192.168.35.4 mkdir: File exists Abort trap (core dumped) beta# dmesg|tail -1 rbda

That is working as intended. Hoist the pw lookup up ahead. Our base doesn't have a single program which needs access to the password hash after pledge, so your program doesn't need it either. > I'm debugging a program that doesn't work around reading /etc/spwd.db. In > a ktrace it gives this: >

Hi, I'm debugging a program that doesn't work around reading /etc/spwd.db. In a ktrace it gives this: 78130 rbdaemon CALL open(0xeca79d7b000,0) 78130 rbdaemon NAMI "/etc/spwd.db" 78130 rbdaemon RET open -1 errno 1 Operation not permitted When I take the pledge code out which is: if (ple

Re: iPhone tethering ?

I would avoid *any* realtek devices. Power management bugs, bugs at the hw, firmware and driver level. Not particularly well impressed. But then, I have yet to find any *USB wifi* dongle that particularly impresses me. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/252210/wi-fi-problems-using-asus-usb-n

The only 2 options you have is, get a Android device then you can use USB tethering over urndis(4) or, buy one of this round 10 Euro or less mini USB WIFI dongles which use the urtwn(4) firmware, then you can use your iPhone and tether using WIFI. The Edimax with a RTL8188CUSe and, the TP-LINK wit

iPhone tethering?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I don’t have wireless access (the driver for my wireless device Realtek RTL8191SE doesn’t appear to be supported in OpenBSD), so I am talking about a wired connection through USB!
