Re: ATI SB200 USB ports on Toshiba Satellite
Hi Chris and thanks for the reply. I know that if it's not loudly announced here there's a good chance it won't be looked at but my soundcard was in the same boat as the USB (It's an ATI IXP200 - also an uncommon beast - now works under 3.8 using the auixp driver). I never saw anything mentioned about my difficult soundcard in misc or anywhere else for that matter and yet 3.8 supports it (there are still Linux distros out there that don't). I don't care about anything else other than the USB ports. REALLY: This is making life unbearable. I can't use a USB mouse and I have no serial ports. I have no mouse (the touchpad doesn't work properly). I can't use any USB devices at all (but the mouse is all that matters to me). I'm desperate. I LOVE OpenBSD and have been a follower for many years now but this is making the OpenBSD experience extremely extremely painful and almost impossible to use whether in X or console. I realize they can only do what they can do and if it's unfixable, then I won't know what to do then, but for the last year and a half, I've waited to see if the new release will fix it and I don't know how many CD's I've wasted trying the 3.8 snapshots ever time they're updated, to no avail.

Please send whatever information you have about your currently-running kit under OpenBSD, preferably stuff which was purchased new within the last three years or so. Current particular focusses are audio cards, USB devices, and optical (CD/DVD) drives, but any information is welcome. I am aware that a multitude of things are _purported_ to work with OpenBSD, but in order to include it in this database I need at least one person to tell me I have XXX, and it works under OpenBSD YYY. Help me make this more useful! So far there have been nearly a thousand hits on this store, which isn't bad considering that it's only been up a week and is still beta-ish. Some of those are test hits from my end, most are not; most of these are all you guys. I know there's some interest out there.

OpenBSD i386 and macppc on one HDD
Hello, I have an external USB 2.0 storage device with OpenBSD i386 installation and some free space. Is it possible to install OpenBSD/macppc on that spare space without breaking my i386 installation? How will it all work? Would it be possible to share /etc, /var and /home partitions between i386 and macppc? Could the HDD be bootable on both i386 and macppc? Cheers, Constantine.
Re: USB to RS232
For anyone who might have a Nokia DKU-5 USB-Phone cable. Mine is a Chinese copy, however is recognised as a Prolific PL2303 USB-Serial adaptor and might be able to be hacked into use as a USB-RS232 cable. I only paid about $20 Aussie and would like to put some 9-pin connectors towards the phone end of the cable to allow dual use. Bear in mind that I don't know if a genuine Nokia DKU-5 cable also works in this fashion, because this cheapo DKU-5 is not a drop-in replacement for the genuine Nokia and requires its own driver in XP distinct from the Nokia driver. In other words, the real DKU-5 might not be recognised as a serial adaptor in any BSD. On 07/10/2005, at 10:23 PM, Rod.. Whitworth wrote: Mine cost $AUD30 inc GST and I got change. Go figure.

Hi Roelof, On 09/10/2005, at 3:02 AM, Roelof Wobben wrote: When install Openbsd after XP i get a problem regarding the install instructions. You need to be specific if you want people to be capable of helping you. But when i first install Openbsd and then XP i think XP is not working well because i heard that XP wants to have the first partition. XP does not have to have the first partition, although it does like to see the partitions numbered sequentially in the partition table in the order the partitions are actually found on the disk. This won't bite you until you run Disk Management in XP, when it will change the partition table numbering to be sequential without even asking you. If you have XP in the first partition (1st on disk and as the 1st in the partition table), then installing OpenBSD to the 2nd should not cause a problem. I use Smart Boot Manager to choose between XP and OpenBSD. If you have XP in the first partition (1st on disk and as the 1st in the partition table), but it is near the end of the disk and you will be installing OpenBSD in free space before that partition, but as partition 2, then XP will no longer be able to find system files at boot time because it is brain dead and counts partitions as where they actually are on the disk, instead of where the partition table says the appropriate partition is. Edit boot.ini to fix this. If you run Disk Management at some stage in the future, Microsoft will ruin your day again and you might wonder what the hell happened (it will re-order the partition table to be reflect what partitions are found on disk in the order that they are found). If you create an unused partition 1 at the beginning of the disk, and then install XP after that in partition 2, you might be able to later install OpenBSD in partition 1 without any further trouble. I can't remember if the XP installer allows installing to a partition other that the first, but it can certainly be changed later. None of my dual boot OpenBSD/XP or FreeBSD/XP machines have XP in the first partition. Shane J Pearson

However, I know some of you run Soekris boxen and 486's for firewalls, so I may be just fine. My firewall is a Sun Ultra 10, which uses the same mainboard as the Ultra 5.

Between fxp's, with FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE i386 at both end points of an iperf test, I get about 66Mbit/s with pf ON and about 76Mbit/s with pf OFF. My ruleset is pretty bare at the moment and I just did an iperf -s at one end and an iperf -c $IP at the other. At one end the NIC is a GigE Realtek. So this was using: fxp---fxp|fxp---realtek GigE I don't know if having an fxp in place of that Realtek would have been better. I've heard the GigE Realteks are actually not too bad as compared with what you could expect from their older rl abominations.

I can get the mount done, but I can't affect any files ... for example, if I tryi to touch (as root on the Zaurus) /usr/local/garbage, I get Permission denied. i don't have any cklear idea if this is a problem on the Zaurus (OpenBSD) or The FreeBSD server. When I did the mount, I used -v, and the listing I got is: april.chuckr.org:/usr3/osrc/ports on /usr/ports type nfs (rw, ctime=Sat Oct 8 10:23:49 2005, v3, tcp, hard, wsize=8192, rsize=8192, rdirsize=8192, timeo=100, retrans=10, maxgrouplist=16, readahead=1, acregmin=5, acregmax=60, acdirmin=5, acdirmax=60) Is there anything else you might want to know? This is extremely frustrating, being so terribly close to having it work, but not being there.
FileSystem Corruptions? Very important Files at stake.
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. After searches on the internet turned up nothing, I found your site about your love for OpenBSD. My problem is that when I boot, I get an error /dev/rwd0a BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE. Then, on the same 13 gig drive, the error, /dev/rwd0a UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY . Later on, I also get an error from my other HardDRive which is a 200 gig Seagate. This drive is also getting many errors. I did not realise it, but I guess I had formatted it in NTFS. This HardDrive contains many files of which are very important (3 years worth of files and a few thousand family photos). The only thing I can remember that might be related to the error is that the computer would not shut down the previous night. I am relatively new to OpenBSD so I shurgged it off as I held the power button down. I made sure the HDD activity light was off. I am using OpenBSD 3.7. When I type login I get a #sh not found error and it seems to continue. From there I get thousands of errors where the computer tells me to fsck. From my view, it looks like both filesystems became corrupted. I really need these files. A liveCD of Ubuntu doesn't seem to be working as it can't read the 200 gig drive. The 13 gig drive comes up with a nod error every couple or so nodes with fsck. Ubuntu won't even read the 200 gig drive. Can you please help me at least to recover hte files? Any suggestions would help. THe computer is a 500Mhz K6 with the 13 gig drive run as master and the 200 gig drive as slave. Some of these files are photographs of my now deceased grandfather and are very important. Thank you for your time. Justin Wong. -- $ cat food in tin cans cat: cannot open food in tin cans
Re: CARP interface incorrectly comes up as INIT on boot - Workaround
Tim t-openbsd at timdarby.net writes: I'm using CARP under 3.7 release version on two boxes that aren't firewalls, so no pfsync involved and CARP configured as described in the FAQ. What I'm seeing is that the box I've designated as BACKUP always boots with carp0 as INIT and carp1 and carp2 both come up BACKUP as expected. I found my own workaround for this problem and I'm posting it on the chance it will help someone else. I did some more experimenting and tried adding more backup carp interfaces to the physical interface that already had three. When I did this, I noticed that every time I added an interface, another interface that had previously been working now came up as INIT. So, initially I had: carp0 - INIT carp1 - BACKUP carp2 - BACKUP After adding carp3, I had: carp0 - INIT carp1 - INIT carp2 - BACKUP carp3 - BACKUP and carp4: carp0 - INIT carp1 - INIT carp2 - INIT carp3 - BACKUP carp4 - BACKUP This made me wonder if there was some timing thing going on when the carp interfaces were started on boot, so I tried adding a sleep to /etc/netstart as follows: *** netstartSat Oct 8 15:51:43 2005 --- netstart.modSat Oct 8 15:51:13 2005 *** *** 309,314 --- 309,315 case $if in carp*) + sleep 1 ifstart $if ;; *) After doing this, all interfaces came up correctly as BACKUP. If anyone has a better solution, I'd be happy to hear it otherwise I'm calling it done and getting on with my weekend.

Maybe learn about setting up NFS a little, eg: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html or read the manpages...

After some disasters here, although in my/our case caused by human errors, I have written two programs that scans a file of choice for 1) avi files and 2) jpeg files It can scan any file, be it a image file, disk image, or the disk device itself (e.g. /dev/rwd0c). The script will only be able to restore images and movies that are located sequentially (non-fragmented) on disk, and may therefore miss some images/movies, as well as find invalid ones. I have successfully tested the script on two occations, but that was on msdos (and possibly ntfs) file systems. I have not tested it on an ffs file system. So, if you can get another installation of openbsd running, and manage to get the disk device (e.g. /dev/rwd1c), or ripped disk image, readable by any means, then I can probably help you retrieve many, if not most, but probably not all, jpg's and avi's. Be aware that all images, including previously deleted but not yet overwritten ones, may be retrieved. :-) The file names are obviously not restored either, so some sorting is to be done afterwards. I have a script that can help you with some of that too, if you need it. :) Good luck! /Alexander
RE : nfs mounting
Are you using the root account to try create the file ? If so, this is your problem and you have to change a few settings on the file server.

Re: FileSystem Corruptions? Very important Files at stake.
The first thing to do is to copy the drive with the photos to fresh disk space before further damage is done to the originals. Expect recovery to be long and painful even with some tools to make it easier. There are people here that know a lot more about this than I, but the first thing is to get lots of accessible disk space in which to put: 1) the raw image of the original disk 2) the raw images of the disk partitions (dos partitions, that is) 3) the raw images of the disk partitions (obsd partitions, that is) 4) space in which to attemp reconstructions of what was supposed to be there. If you really know what you are doing, you can probably get away with omitting some of the above. Make accurate notes of what is where in what order etc. Good luck. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Justin Wong Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 4:46 PM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: FileSystem Corruptions?

Do you mean you formatted a disk already containing data? ... do you mean you formatted the disk and then transferred the data to it? Are you set up for dual booting of Windows and OBSD? Otherwise how did NTFS get involved. You need to describe your environment and the sequence of steps preceding your catastrophe. This HardDrive contains many files of which are very important (3 years worth of files and a few thousand family photos). Data is only important if it is treated as though it is important. If it's important, then it's backed up. The only thing I can remember that might be related to the error is that the computer would not shut down the previous night.

A liveCD of Ubuntu doesn't seem to be working as it can't read the 200 gig drive. The Ubintu CD is working just fine. You are asking the programs on it to perform a task they cannot do. The 13 gig drive comes up with a nod error every couple or so nodes with fsck. Ubuntu won't even read the 200 gig drive. Can you please help me at least to recover hte files? Any suggestions would help. THe computer is a 500Mhz K6 with the 13 gig drive run as master and the 200 gig drive as slave. I don't mean to be unkind during your distress, but this is entirely the result of you own actions. Trying to run fsck on an NTFS filesystem is likely to make any recovery impossible. Some of these files are photographs of my now deceased grandfather and are very important. I'm sorry to say this, but your files may be irretrievably gone. The best advice I can give at this point is to find somebody who has expert knowledge of whichever file system is involved (BSD or NTFS) and let them take over. Maybe there is a data disk recovery shop near you. The good ones are expensive. Thank you for your time. Da nada, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. All the best, Ray

You might remember, I tried pretty hard to see if I could make it go away early in the thing, I don't really like flames any more than I think you do. As far as that goes, deleting out my listing of the verbose mount, and then claiming I provided no infomation whatsover was a cheap shot, wasn't it? Seems dishonest from one point of view? I have been poring over t he man pages, most especially the exports one, because I had a lot of trouble getting it to work right, I misunderstood one feature, and it took me a great long time to figure it out. I have actualy IPs in my exports file, and I felt a little funny posting it, but maybe I could have made some changes and showed that. You were right on one count, though, I hadn't had any -map* features in there, and I will begin adding some. btw, PEBKAC ?? I dunno what this means.
