Re: optional 'make release' speed-up patch
YES please fix this ridiculous inefficiency pointed out by Rod!
The current method of cleaning the build tree is to chflags -R and
then rm -r which results in two full traversals of the entire /usr/obj
tree which takes MUCH longer than attempting an rm -r first followed by
a chflags -R and another rm -r.
Rather than patch /usr/src/Makefile.inc1, I have been using an alias
for the last year or so:
mkworld (rm -rf /usr/obj/usr ; chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr ; rm -rf
/usr/obj/usr ; cd /usr/src && make world) >& /usr/src/WORLD.log.`date
"+%g%m%d"`
Also while I was looking at /usr/src/Makefile I noticed the following
paragraph. Is this still true (the defaulting to a.out) ? There is also
is a typo: "or 3.0." should be "of 3.0.".
# The `make world' process always follows the installed object format.
# This is set by creating /etc/objformat containing either OBJFORMAT=aout
# or OBJFORMAT=elf. If this file does not exist, the object format defaults
# to aout. This is expected to be changed to elf just prior to the release
# or 3.0. If OBJFORMAT is set as an environment variable or in /etc/make.conf,
# this overrides /etc/objformat.

Re: NewPCM and Quake :)
I am having a few problems with newpcm. I often play a whole bunch of Sesame Street AVIs to keep the 1 and 3 year olds happy while I read email. I usually play them like so (straight from the CD-ROM): foreach blah ( /cdrom/letters/tv/*.avi ) xanim -Zr +Ze +Av`mixer | grep pcm | cut -d: -f2` $blah >& /dev/null end This worked fine with the old sound drivers but now I find that I have to put in a 1 second sleep after xanim or the sound will usually stop completely after the first AVI. I am also now getting the following messages on the console: "dsp sync" I get 4 of these at the start of each invocation of xanim and then I get 1 at the end of each invocation of xanim. When the sound has stopped completely I have to reboot to get it back. My -CURRENT is about 3 days old.

Re: Compupic - yes, it works.
Some kind of unionfs seems to be required for our compat stuff. Forgive me if I dont know what I'm talking about but isn't it true that a unionfs would just override those files in /usr that existed in the Linux emulation space ? I suppose there would be problems when Linux binaries would 'see' FreeBSD libraries and try to use them. Anyway to help with your trying to find files in /usr I do the following: - have home directories mounted under /home. - when I do need to use a dialog box to open a file under /usr I type in the directory name first and 'filter' on that (I'm thinking Linux Netscape here). Then you can keep browsing down through sub directories if you wish. On Fri, 10 Sep 1999, Tom Embt wrote: > Now another question: Have you been able to get to /usr?

Re: evil -current
Boot off a CD-ROM or floppy disk set, start the fixit shell and then: fsck -b 32may help you. I had to do this recently after overclocking my PCI bus. That is a last resort process which you might need to try if other recovery processes dont help (such as a normal fsck of your root filesystem after booting off floppy disks). Of course my problem was of my own doing nothing to do with -CURRENT which has given me years of mostly trouble free operation. If you have been reading the cvs-all and freebsd-current mailing lists you will know that there has been a huge level of changes to -CURRENT over the last month or so and there is bound to be some instability while these changes settle down. If you aren't reading these lists then I dont know how you can run -CURRENT.

FreeBSD-CURRENT rl driver not auto-negotiating ?
Bill, Firstly, a great job on the rl driver (I'm amazed that you have made it this good considering the hardware). Anyway my problem is that since the rl driver has required "controller miibus0" in the kernel it has not auto-negotiated its network link properly for me (though I do appreciate the fast kernel probe time ;). It seems to be defaulting to full duplex now when it wasn't before the "controller miibus0" stuff went in. I find that I now have to change my /etc/rc.conf line from: ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.0.0.27 netmask 255.0.0.0" to: ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.0.0.27 netmask 255.0.0.0 media 10BaseT/UTP -mediaopt full-duplex" Interestingly "mediaopt half-duplex" doesn't work with error: "ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured" Is this all expected behaviour ? If I dont do the above, I get terrible ftp speeds on my local 10BaseT/UTP network (3 KB/sec instead of the 1 MB/sec I am used to). I have a 3COM Linkbuilder hub and two machines. My old machine is a P150 with an NE2000 clone. My new machine is a PII Celeron 450 with a RealTek 8139 (a SureCom Networks SN5000 card - but that wont mean anything as I bought it because it wasn't a RealTek when my friend bought it... it was a VIA Rhine then I was really trying to avoid a RealTek!!). My kernel from before the move to the "controller miibus0" stuff works fine without any media options. Dmesg and kernel config file attached. Thanks in advance.

make world speed-up patch (was Re: optional 'make release' speed-uppatch)
Ooops... stick foot in mouth put on flame proof suit
Mike, you can call me stupid if you want because I was in sending that
email. Thats what happens when you reply to mail without reading the
thread first! Stupid me especially when the subject is clearly about
"make release".
Now back to what I was really emailing about which is "make world".
The snippet from /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 that I'm talking about (in my
own little world) was this:
.if !defined(NOCLEAN)
@echo
@echo "--"
@echo ">>> Cleaning up the temporary ${OBJFORMAT} build tree"
@echo "--"
mkdir -p ${WORLDTMP}
-chflags -R noschg ${WORLDTMP}/
rm -rf ${WORLDTMP}
.endif
Can we please have this optimised ?

Not for me. (was: CVSup core dumps)

Sept 9th).
I run it both on my dumb terminal and on my X display.
(My X configuration is XFree86 3.3.5, Gnome/Enlightenment [all built
Sept 9th after a make world]).
My shell is tcsh 6.09 (built Sept 1st).
I have never had cvsup-bin core dump.
I have built the world twice since the signal changes and am currently
running on my build which completed about 36 hours ago.

Re: {a}sync updates (was Re: make install trick)
Maybe the best solution is the following: - leave "sync" with its current behaviour - create a sysctl to make it truely synchronous (I was thinking of a new mount option but thats overkill) and have the documentation for that sysctl state the performance hit and recommend that the filesystem be mounted with "noatime" when this sysctl is on. The sysctl could have three levels: - off - on for atime updates - on for atime updates and free block bitmap updates On Thu, 7 Oct 1999, Peter Jeremy wrote: > On 1999-Oct-07 09:15:42 +1000, Matthew D.

How do I get a USB mouse working in todays -CURRENT ?
What's involved in getting a USB mouse working in -CURRENT ? I have a Micro$oft USB IntelliMouse 1.1A. I have added everything USB to my kernel (as I'm not using any USB klds) and have set usbd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf. My kernel and world are up to date as of about 3 hours ago and I have updated my /etc files (and hence have the latest /etc/usbd.conf). I disabled moused in /etc/rc.conf as usbd starts moused when attaching mice. This is what I see in the kernel probes (non-verbose boot with all the USB debugging options): uhci0: irq 12 at device 7.2 on pci0 usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision unknown, not supported uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ums0: Microsoft IntelliMouse, rev 1.00/1.04, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. ums_attach: sc=0xc0921c00 ums_attach: X 8/8 ums_attach: Y 16/8 ums_attach: Z 24/8 ums_attach: B1 0/1 ums_attach: B2 1/1 ums_attach: B3 2/1 ums_attach: size=4, id=0 The problem is that the mouse doesn't work (its not a hardware problem), all I get whenever I move the mouse are lots of the following messages on the console: Discarded 7 bytes in queue Do I need to change /etc/usbd.conf in some way ?

Re: Compiler looping
I can also vouch that there is nothing wrong with mysql-server-3.22.27. When my machine was compiling sql_yacc.cc the compiler was using 200 MB of memory (this is on a machine with 64 MB RAM!). The solution is to minimize other memory use (stop the X server and setiathome if you run it) and go to bed. In the morning it was all finished without problems.

Re: ATA problem
Does your /etc/fstab have character devices listed or block devices ? If it has character devices (aka raw devices), change them to block (remove the 'r' at the front) e.g. change: "/dev/rad0s2a" to "/dev/ad0s2a". It seems to be only necessary for the root filesystem. Some people (like me) changed their fstabs to raw devices after a message from Poul Henning-Kamp (I hope thats the spelling) saying that it should be possible to use only raw devices throughout the system. This worked for a while but then other changes made it unable to boot.

RELEASE timelines
What is the big rush to 4.0-RELEASE ? With all the new functionality and recent changes there are some things that need to be bedded in (I'm thinking newpcm and ATA). Maybe I'm saying this because my SB16 PnP has only just been fixed and my CD-ROM drive doesn't work under the ATA driver (I'm about to try the most recent fixes so dont yell at me yet) but maybe I'm saying this because things seem a bit rushed. Consider the 2.2 stream that went through many more releases (counting 2.2.1 -> 2.2.8). Using that yardstick you'd expect 4.0 to stay in development until 3.7 is released. I know 7 releases of the 2.2 stream was considerred a few too many but surely we can hold 4.0 back a bit longer considerring the age of some of the code. -- /===\ | Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \===/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.

Re: RELEASE timelines
Yes 2.x went on for too long but I was counting 2.2.x as the equivalent of 3.x due to the change in the release schedule (mainly just a change in the numberring). The thing that worries me is the bad reputation that comes from releasing not quite ready releases. Basically the real way to run FreeBSD is from source ala -STABLE as we dont have a binary patching system established like the commercial vendors. Its argueable that the real FreeBSD is -CURRENT considering there is no automated method for tracking what hasn't yet been committed to -STABLE. It seems there is always a mad rush to MFC when -STABLE is about to pop out another release and this often leads to less than perfect releases and sometimes downright embarrasing mistakes. I'm not calling for a years worth of beta testing ala IRIX 6.5 but there are probably some improvements that can be made to the release system. After all we dont have to have the latest set of gcc, binutils, etc whenever a release appears since we have a good ports system. My first thought would be for cvs to be modified to require tagging of each commit to -CURRENT with a flag to indicate whether it should be merged into -STABLE before the next release (maybe it would indicate which release this change should be in). This will make it easier to process the backlog and allow a longer testing period for -STABLE before each release. I hope this doesn't start too big a thread as I'm rather behind on my cvs-all mail as it is (methinks those people who read all of current and cvs-all must have a job that lets them do this during work time or no wife and kids like myself).

Re: BP6 (Was Re: Success with ATA drivers and UDMA66)
I know your talking SMP but thought you'd like to know some temps for UP systems as well... I have a Celeron 300a that I overclock to 464 MHz (100 MHz FSB + extra turbo frequency boost) running at 2.1 v and it runs at about 30 degrees celcius when idle and at 52 degrees when running setiathome (was 50 degrees in winter). A friend of mine running an ISP on FreeBSD has alarms set at 53 degrees (and they haven't gone off unless there has been a problem to date). A friend of above friend (in Sydney) has all his machines running quite reliably at 96 degrees (yes celcius). His alarms dont go off until 104! I dont think he has any airconditioning in his machine room. I cant speak for what the other peoples hardware is but it appears that the Intel CPUs can take quite a beating I wouldn't be worried until you hit at least 65 degrees.

Oddities with the new binutils
Three issues: - floating point math doesn't seem to work properly: To reproduce: Build xaos from ports (/usr/ports/graphics/xaos) Run xaos and press 'a' - enjoy the show but I dont think its what the author intended. I have reproduced this on two machines which are running -CURRENT as of around May 29th - 30th with the new binutils. Both machines were upgraded by: - make world - making and installing a new kernel - mergemaster - reboot - deletion of ALL installed ports - recompile of every essential port (inc XFree 3.3.6) One machine has its source populated by cvsup from cvsup4, the other by cvsup from my own cvsup server whos repository is populated by ctm-cvs-cur delta so I dont think there are any problems with my source tree. - backward compatibility: Before I deleted all ported software on my home machine (cvsup's from cvsup4) I ran wdm and Window maker and saw lots of problems with font rendering into wrong locations, menus not being displayed properly and icons being placed in incorrect locations (not actually icons but the launching thingies!). I'm not complaining but rather reporting so that people can bump appropriate FreeBSD version numbers..., update UPDATING etc if required or if there are not meant to be any issues then work out why there are. - stability: Windowmaker at home dumps core whenever I log out (it never used to do this before the new binutils with the exact same version of Windowmaker). I haven't noticed other stability problems yet. These issues make me think that the new binutils is not yet ready for -STABLE. -- Matthew Thyer Phone: +61 8 8259 7249 Corporate Information Systems Fax:+61 8 8259 5537 Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Salisbury PO Box 1500 Salisbury South Australia 5108 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Oddities with the new binutils
David, I emailed my details on what I have done on two machines that are exhibiting this problem. Because these machines are different in their hardware and have not expressed the problem in the past, I dont think its a hardware issue. Before the new binutils both machines did not have this problem. I dont know if it is the binutils change that has caused this problem as I do not have the time to exhaustively test. My email was to try to get others to reproduce the problem hence I gave details on what I did. So, has anyone done the procedure I have and seen or not seen the problem where xaos version 3.0 draws garbage when renderring. (run xaos and press the 'a' key). I haven't given kernel config files or hardware details because I dont think its relevant until someone can say "I have done the steps you have outlined and I dont see you problem". I do not have time to debug this myself (I would also need to learn a few things) however, I have been running -CURRENT for more than 5 years and know that I have upgraded my software correctly and am fairly convinced that hardware is not an issue so I am reporting this problem to see if others can reproduce it as a service to the FreeBSD community (I wont even charge for it!). I also do not intend to report this to the binutils maintainers because it may be a FreeBSD issue, not a binutils issue.

Re: Oddities with the new binutils
"-O -pipe" is all I use for kernel and world builds. The kernel config file from my work box is attached. I have never built gcc from ports. I always use "config -r" when building kernels. I dont use modules as I have everything I need in my kernel including COMPAT_LINUX. And as I said before I removed all ports so that my testing is with XFree86, xaos and any supporting libraries all compiled after my world and kernel build. Did you do something similar ? I am using XFree86 3.3.6 on both machines. If it comes down to particular video cards, My work machine has: VESA: v1.2, 2048k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xc00c09da (c9da) VESA: S3 Incorporated. Trio64V+ My home machine has a "3dfx Velocity 100 AGP with 8MB SGRAM" which is detected as a Voodoo 3 by the VESA code.

It may not be FP itself. In fact I have seen some other strange graphic corruption at home when running xplanet in the background and xanim. When the planet turns, the top 20 or so rows of the root window get corrupted with some of the image of the currently playing animation in xanim. I haven't mentioned this yet because I've only been running xplanet since post-binutils so I cant compare it with previous behaviour. It would appear to be an Xserver problem. The fact remains that I am seeing the xaos problem on two machines that are both using the SVGA server from XFree86 3.3.6 but with different video cards (one's a PII-266 with an S3 Trio64V+, the other a Celeron 300a with a 3dfx Velocity 100 AGP). I need to do more testing I have another -CURRENT machine with a recent XFree86 from before the new binutils so I will try displaying xaos on that Xserver. Sorry for the limited time I can spend on debugging this... I dont get any chance at work and the wife and kids limit my access to the home machine that has my source until after the kids go to bed.

I thought I told you not to send a test message
Why have you annoyed many hundreds of people with your test message which I told you was not necessary to send ? I clearly described the simple problem of your organisation using email relay servers which were not registered in the DNS causing many weeks of problems for me. Not only have you annoyed many people but you have sent email using my sending address instead of your own address for a test which was not necessary. I am extremely unimpressed with the performance of your organisation and the incompetant manner that this simple problem has been handled. It would be within my rights to take legal action against your organisation. Please have someone contact me as soon as possible to discuss the way your organisation should repay me for the more than 2 months of inconvienience and suffering I have endured. To the FreeBSD-current list subscribers, I hope you accept that I did not send that stupid test message and also be advised that the Australian operations of UU.net and Access One take about 2 months to even understand a simple DNS problem.

wdm 1.20 wont run on -CURRENT

So it's in -CURRENT too. -STABLE users have been complaining of a
similar problem since about the 20th/21st of Feb.
I was damned lucky that I skimmed:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable%40freebsd.org/
before I built a -STABLE system today.
I'm cross posting to stable so others can try your program.
And I wont install my -CURRENT buildworld.

It's not that hard as long as you stick to certain essentials: 1) Dont try to run at any speed other than 9600 unless your prepared to read the archives and maintain things bwteen builds. 2) Dont use the serial port for anything else, no getty, no mouse (if you dont have enough com ports because you have a serial modem and a serial mouse you should just get yourself a cheap PS/2 mouse). 3) Maybe add the following line to your kernel options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER # A BREAK on a comconsole goes to DDB 4) Then just create /boot.conf containing just "-h" without the double quotes. Then you can easily turn it off by renaming that file. And yes there is no problem connecting it to another box and running something like minicom to use the console. Oh, you might want the grounds connected pin1 -> pin1 but make sure the earth connections on your power outlets work or you'll get what I had once where my whole computer room (computers on a string of powerboards) was trying to earth itself through the signal ground to my wyse50 in the lounge room I didn't realise until I blew one of the serial ports on my old P90.

Many people using mergemaster have the Repo on hand at $CVSROOT so this should be an option if not the default (when $CVSROOT is defined).

Re: Oddities with the new binutils
Repost of old mail now that I've made my ISP register their mail relays (which took three months for them to understand!). I know this is ancient but being in the archives may help someone. It was a kernel problem. I made a new kernel from sources of about 8 hours ago and the problem has dissappeared from my home machine (have to wait until after the long weekend [- in Oz] to test the work machine). It seems that something in the May 29th kernel was causing problems for X.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d and /etc/rc.d
[I know this was discussed a couple of months ago but since nothings
been committed yet I throw in my 3 month old email that I haven't
been able to send due to my stupid ISP with unregistered mail relays]
Please read as I have done a fair bit of thinking on this matter as
the sysadmin of many commercial UNIX systems (SunOS, Solaris, IRIX,
HP-UX, True64) plus FreeBSD and Linux (we'll just call it UNIX even
though that's debatable). [NOTE I'm 750 behind on my cvs-all mail so
dont hassle me as I haven't read this thread yet but feel the need to
respond before we end up with some wierd non backward compatible
system that's totally different from common UNIX systems].
I would like to see startup and shutdown scripts exist in a single
directory ("/usr/local/etc/rc.d/" for ports and eventually
"/etc/rc.d" when the system migrates to the same scheme).
The startup and shutdown functionality would be in the same script
and the scripts should be named starting with a capital 'S' for
startup and a capital 'K' for shutdown (I'm also keen on the HPUX
startmsg and stopmsg one liners).
There's no need for the seperate SYSV init.d directory as scripts
will be off if they dont start with the right naming convention.
As for runlevels... thats not BSD and I dont know any SYSV admin
who uses them (I dont count the RedHat hack to turn on X).
The scripts will be differentiated from existing scripts (the old
system) as the new system will only act on scripts that have a digit
in the second character of their name (there could be a backward
compatability process to act on all the others afterwards which
would be disabled by default... presumably "disabled.S99rc.compat"
or some such name).
Stop scripts will be a symbolic link to their startup script
counterpart (and would simply not be executed if the K* file doesn't
exist). Symbolic links make it clear they are the same script.
Scripts would be executed in alphabetical order (after the S or K)
so the sysadmin has control over the execution order which is
important.
Scripts would source common functions from a system file so we have
control over future changes in functionality/reporting. This would
also make the template script very simple.
Eventually I would like the system to migrate to such a scheme but
maintain the backward compatibility scripts /etc/netstart which
could be implemented either by simply 'knowing' which rc scripts
do network functionality or by reserving a range of numbers for
network startup <--- HACK!
I'd really like the system to allow stuff like "/etc/rc.d/S84named
reread" (or "restart", "reload" whatever is acceptable).
I'd also really like at least named and perl to be removed from the
base system but that's another thread.
One of the big turn offs to FreeBSD in the System V world is:
"What!, why do I need to know which signal to send blah to reload
it ?".
The backward compatibilty hack script in "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/"
would ignore files starting with "README" and "disabled" (and
maybe other typical disabling naming methods).
This is not too much of a hack as the backward compatibility
script would go away in a release or two.

Please consider some cosmetic changes in boot messages
Anyone else noticed how FreeBSD is inconsistent with the use of words like "Doing", "setting" and "starting" in the boot messages ? For instance, I think the following fragment of my boot should change from: Additional routing options: tcp extensions=NO TCP keepalive=YES. routing daemons:.

Re: /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /etc/rc.d
Replying to my own message. In summary, the main things the scheme I describe gives us are: - control over startup/shutdown order with the numbers - accomodates older scripts (by just not having the K script linked to the S, script things wont be started again at shutdown time). - enough similarity to SYSV to not confuse - ability to easily disable scripts (rename to not start with S[0-9] or K[0-9]) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I know but I'm pretty keen on awk and would like all the perl dependencies to be re-written with awk or other tools as I dislike FreeBSD being dependent on such a beast as perl which should only exist as a port. Just look at the pain of getting perl 5.6.0 into the system. I know the perl lovers will hate me but I thinks its worth having some ugly awk to get away from elegant perl being required in the base system. I'd go further to say that the whole base OS needs to be more modularised ala Solaris and Linux especially since we dont have an established binary patch process. Its pretty hard to sell FreeBSD to my work masters when the only patch method is source code patches or a complete rebuild of -STABLE or just wait until the next release. A more modular system could be upgraded more easily. > Neil > -- > Neil Blakey-Milner > Sunesi Clinical Systems > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Matthew Thyer who needs a new .sig To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I'm behind on cvs-all and freebsd-current so forgive me but I'm basing my comments on rc.shutdown executing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* with argument "stop". Which seems very dangerous given that people may not have rebuilt their ports for a long time.

We'll have to disagree on this point. Given that we've had no order control in the past and that ports are generally (yes its bad to generalise) not dependent on each other, should the situation arise I think that any admin worth his/her pay can work out how to change the order with the numbers. Remember that I'm trying to stay remotely compatible with other systems. We dont have to re-invent the wheel.

Judging by > the traffic on their mail lists, it was somewhat controversial ... I'd consider it overly complicated because: - The OS vendor can work out the correct order for system component startup and set the numbers right once per release so who needs the overhead and complexity of a dependency based system ? - The ports collection is so huge these days that we need to make it easier rather than harder for non-hardcore FreeBSD users to submit and maintain their own ports. Its already hard enough to do a port right especially if it should have ifdefs on the version of FreeBSD to work correctly in -STABLE and -CURRENT. Port authors really need -CURRENT and -STABLE installed and maintain a copy of the repository to DTRT. - The SysV style number based system is fine in that port authors can all use the same number (say S50myport) unless it needs to be changed due to the unlikely need for ordering (remember we haven't had ordering to date and there are ~3700 ports). - Dont think of /usr/local/etc/rc.d being just for the ports collection, people will put there own startup scripts there too and will find it very easy to just pick the right numbers ala SysV. I do admin SysV systems of all types (mainly Solaris, HPUX, IRIX, True64 - yes I work for Defence) as my paid job so I know how easy the number order system is to use.

First: If you run FreeBSD-CURRENT, you must take the time to read at least 2 mailing lists being freebsd-current and cvs-all. I'd recommend archiving them as well and definitely have your own source repo. Second: Dont try to antagonise the list. Do you think that everyone is actually aiming to produce a broken by design system ? Third: Investigate you own problem. If you can fix it you have provided a service to others who have the same hardware. You may have to spend time doing a search of your email to identify the likely commit that caused your problem... keep release CD's around for quick testing of boot floppies. Keep a source repo so you can checkout kernel floppies from around the exact change to the GENERIC kernel that broke your system. There should never be time deadlines on you doing this because YOU SHOULD NOT USE -CURRENT FOR A PRODUCTION SYSTEM. It really doesn't take long for new technologies like softupdates, ACPI, ATA-100 to get into the -STABLE stream and then into a release. FreeBSD is a volunteer project with a development model that lets anyone 'listen in' on whats happening at the head of the development tree. If you are prepared to use the head of the tree, you do need to fix your own problems or at least provide the list with an exhaustive list of your configuration and the behaviour you see under everything you've tried (removing hardware, changing cards, flashing BIOS, hacking CODE! yes you can do this too!). If you dont have time to do this, run -STABLE or the last release. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I'm not after a review, I'd like FreeBSD-CURRENT fixed.
The program works on Compaq True64 UNIX v 4.0d
It also works on Solaris 7 (only tested sparc).
So it seems FreeBSD is broken here.

I may not have expressed myself very well when I said "/dev/da18s1 should work as for /dev/da18" as I was referring to my in context discussion of "why cant I write to this device". My point is that I should be able to write to anything and do the damage that would result. Solaris and Compaq's Tru64 (the OS formerly know as DEC OSF/1) both allow me to destroy the UNIX disklabel by writing to the 'c' partition. I am of the opinion that FreeBSD should allow me to as well. The kernel has an in-memory copy of the disklabel so there shouldn't be a technical issue to stop me from doing so. -- Matthew Thyer Phone: +61 8 8259 7249 Science Corporate Information Systems Fax:+61 8 8259 5537 Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Salisbury PO Box 1500 Salisbury South Australia 5108 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Re: write(2) returns error saying read only filesystem when trying to write to a partition
I've been writing to the whole disk OK (since I changed to
/dev/da18), but now I am finding a problem with trying to
seek further into the disk before starting to write.
The code fragment is below and the "lseek(fd, 0L, SEEK_SET)"
works OK but the first "lseek(fd, 8192L, SEEK_CUR)" thereafter
fails with an "Undefined error: 0"
The only way I can get "lseek(fd, X, SEEK_CUR)" to work is where
X = 0.
Any ideas ?
if ( (fd = open("/dev/da18",O_WRONLY)) < 0 ) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
/* write alternating 1s and zeros to disk */
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
/* rewind to start file partition */
if (lseek(fd, 0L, SEEK_SET) != 0) {
perror("lseek seek_set");
exit(1);
}
count = 0L;
/* Now seek up to where we are up to: */
do {
if (lseek(fd, 8192L, SEEK_CUR) != 0) {
perror("lseek seek_cur");
exit(1);
} else ++count;
} while ( count < 1062000 );

My guess is you might be using PHK's syslog feature and be sending console output to the console ? (I haven't tried it tho). Check your syslog.conf (or disable syslogd and see what happens).

Data corruption whilst debugging sonar module of ports/graphics/xscreensaver-gtk-3.26 ?
Both of my main FreeBSD-CURRENT machines cant seem to run the sonar
module from xscreensaver-gtk-3.26 for very long. It crashes with a
SIGBUS on line 1654 of xscreensaver-3.26/hacks/sonar.c when the sonar
sweep gets back around to the first bogie that was ever displayed.
Since my home box is XFree 3.3.6 and work is XFree 4.0.2, I assume
this is a bug with the screensaver itself. Note both machines are
recent -CURRENT (within 1 week of today).
Today I had some spare time (wife and kids out of my hair) so I
installed ports/devel/ddd to have a look at whats going on.
To reproduce what I'm doing:
- Install ports/devel/ddd
- Set "CFLAGS=-g -pipe" in /etc/make.conf
- cd /usr/ports/x11/xscreensaver ; sudo make install
- Set your CFLAGS back to what they were
- cd /usr/ports/x11/xscreensaver/work/xscreensaver-3.26/hacks
- ddd &
- File->Open Program... and choose "sonar"
- Run until it dies with the SIGBUS on line 1654 (subroutine "Sonar")
- Display "si", "*si", "*si->visable", all the "*si->visable{->next}*"
(e.g. "*si->visable->next", "*si->visable->next->next" etc) and
the local variables.
I'm seeing the local variable "bp" with a value of 0xd0d0d0d0.
I cant see how this happens when "bp" is initialised from
si->visable in the for loop at line 1647 and thereafter follows
the list (via ->next) where no members have an address of 0xd0d0d0d0.
It seems that something in sonar.c is overwriting memory it shouldn't.
I haven't done much debugging since Uni, so I was wonderring if
others can reproduce this and does someone have some ideas how I
can easily detect this data corruption with ddd or is it a compiler
bug ? (I suspect not as it always happens when the sweep gets back
around to the first bogie ever displayed).
Does anyone recognise where 0xd0d0d0d0 may have come from ?
1635 static void
1636 Sonar(sonar_info *si, Bogie *bl)
1637 {
1638
1639 /* Local Variables */
1640
1641 Bogie *bp, *prev;
1642 int i;
1643
1644 /* Check for expired tagets and remove them from the visable list */

How do I query system temperature probes ?
I seem to have all the hardware required for querying the temperature probes in the system (At least I can do it from the BIOS). How can I query this info ? I assume I need "controller smbus0" and "controller intpm0" in my kernel. But do I also need "device smb0 at smbus?" and/or any of the following: # ici2c network interface # iic i2c standard io # iicsmb i2c to smb bridge. Allow i2c i/o with smb commands. Once I have all this stuff in my kernel, what commands do I use to query the probes ??

How to power off an ATX power supply machine on shutdown ?
Sorry if this is inappropriate for -CURRENT but I am mailing here as the answer may be to do with recent committed features to -CURRENT (intpm ??). Anyway, how do I power off a machine on shutdown ? I have "apm" in the kernel and it probes as apm v 1.2 but when the "shutdown -p now" command is run, the power is not turned off and I have to hold down the power button for 4 seconds to turn it off. Hows it done ? Do I have to run "apmconf -e" (The owner hasn't tried this yet) I cant give more info as it's not my machine and I only see it on weekends. /=\ |Work: matthew.th...@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thy...@camtech.net.au| \=/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.

Re: Aladdin chipset SMBus support available!
I had the same problem with a non Aladin system. I believe the problem is that Takanori's examples no longer work since changes were made to pcisupport.c. Why do I say this ? Because Takanori said so in email to me. I dont understand how it all works but if I show you Takanori's comments maybe you guys will. START Takanori's comments === Commited code on pcisupport.c from 1.88 to 1.89 will break it. If "intpm.h" is not included,chipset probe code is used instead of the driver probe code. P.S I have forgotten to enclose unused variable in #undef ENABLE_ALART with #ifdef ENABLE_ALART - #endif ,so the variable may deleted when it was commited. And currently ENABLE_ALART code will not work properly.

Re: Disk locks and weird things
Shouldn't a make world take about 10 hours on a P100 ?? -depends on the speed of your disks. You should probably remove all the junk in /usr/obj from previous make worlds, then run "make cleandir" in /usr/src and then try a make world again. The messages about no such user 'tty' indicate your /etc files are out of date. Use the "mergemaster" port to keep your /etc files up to date but you'll need to be carefull when adding the new users to /etc/passwd (hint: run vipw after editing /etc/passwd so the password databases are re-created). One last hint: READ THE CURRENT AND CVS-ALL MAILING LISTS IF YOU'RE GOING TO RUN CURRENT! - if you cant be botherred spending the time to do this dont run CURRENT! P.S. If your existing CURRENT system is too old, you may need to try installing a snapshot first you may have to try a few different snapshots before you find one that works... there were some problems a while back with boot disks I think.

Re: RealTek driver woes
There are certain RealTek chipsets that perform very badly in both Windows and FreeBSD in my experience. This is due to poor hardware design as far as the FreeBSD driver author could see. Replace your network card with a $30 PCI 10/100 card that is not a RealTek such as the VIA Technologies VT3043 `Rhine I' and VT86C100A `Rhine II' chips and you'll get much better performance (FreeBSD 'vr' driver). Search the cvs-all mailing list archives for mail re: the 'rl' driver. In my experience: A no-one could get files from a firend of mine's Windows 95 box but he copy them to other peoples machines. If you did manage to get a small file it was corrupt. Under FreeBSD we had the same lockups you are having (using UTP). If we used coax (BNC) it worked fine. This was all at 10 Mbps. We didn't test Windows on coax. Now that we have put a Rhine based card in his machine both Windows and FreeBSD are working fine at ~1 MB/s through put (at 10 Mbps) and NFS is working fine.

It's probably something to do with Ultra DMA support as I have an Ultra DMA 6.48 GB IBM drive on my IDE controller 0 (master) and a Ultra DMA Mitsubishi 32 spin CD-ROM drive as slave on my second IDE controller. By the way, the IBM 6.48 GB drive is working fine in UDMA2... Lovely. Too bad my drive cant do tagged queueing. There must be a problem with the UDMA CDROMs as with my second IDE controller enabled, I never boot it just never gets to the "changing root device to" bit. dmesg attached with second controller disabled also old boot messages attached for ATAPI driver version 4 when I could have the controller enabled.

Re: swap-related problems
There is obviously a problem when all swap is exhausted. The only solution is to allow the additional memory *use* to succeed AND to warn the sysadmin that ALL virtual memory has been exhausted. The only way to do this is to be able to allocate extra virtual memory. I'd vote for a system that would create swap files in the largest mounted read/write filesystem of type UFS or in the filesystem of my choice. There would be a systctl to set the limits on how much space to allocate. Possibly a setting for size and number of emergency swap files. When the time comes for killing processes, you should be able to specify that certain processes (by name) are "precious" and that processes owned by particular users and/or particular login classes are in the last resort or first resort for killing. I dont think it's worth trying to signal with a different signal because only FreeBSD specific programs will know what to do when signalled in such a manner. I suppose you could signal prior to killing as another layer to my dream system.

Re: swap-related problems
Replying to myself... You'd have to be able to specify the absolute maximum memory use for a process to ensure you'd still kill run-aways (These would go first! regardless of the other rules maybe).

silo overflows in CURRENT ... some info that may help
I have been investigating the silo overflow situation for some time. I can trigger them every time by the following action: - Run M.A.M.E. (Multi arcade machine emulator) and then try to download something. (I am using user mode ppp). I believe that the sio driver is its own worst enemy in that once you get one silo overflow, it seems that the driver tries to compensate but it only makes it worse as I continue to get them and the serial port is unusable after that. Exiting MAME doesn't help, I have to reboot or I will be unable to do the smallest thing such as download my mail. I dont think its just MAME but rather anything that thrashes the interrupt system. This is not related to newbus as it occurrred before then in just the same manner. I have seen this effect on my home system no matter what combination of motherboard, modem, serial hardware. I was running a patch to sio.c before newbus came in to improve the speed at which the FIFO buffers were processed but MAME would still trigger the start of the silo overflow storm. With either a patched or unpatched system I can download huge files no problems as long as I dont run MAME at any time. Now dont say "just dont do that" (I know some of you will want to). Kernel config is attached. /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (edited) is attached. dmesg output is also attached. -- /===\ | Work: matthew.th...@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thy...@camtech.net.au | \===/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.

New ATA drivers wont boot if second IDE controller enabled
I have been unable to use my Ultra DMA ATAPI CD-ROM since version 4 of Soren's ATAPI driver. Version 4 worked fine but since then (since at least version 6 I didn't try version 5) The system wont boot if I have my secondary IDE controller enabled. The system never completes its kernel probing, it just sits there after configuring the hard disk. I am running an IBM 6.48 GB (metric GB) hard disk on the first IDE controller as the master. I am running a "Diamond Data 32 speed Ultra DMA CD-ROM" on the second IDE controller and it doesnt matter if its a slave or master (there is nothing else on the controller). The CD-ROM is model number 632A 023 and is made in June 1998. "Diamond Data" is a trade mark of "Mitsubishi Electric Australia". My -CURRENT is only a few hours old (freshly build world and kernel). Kernel config file and dmesg output are attached. -- /===\ | Work: matthew.th...@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thy...@camtech.net.au | \===/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.

Re: silo overflows in CURRENT ... some info that may help
Re-nicing wont help as I have just confirmed that the problem occurs if I run MAME, exit MAME and then get on the net. Very wierd... after running MAME, the serial port is unusable for ppp unless I reboot. Just doing a DNS lookup causes several silo overflows. MAME does something very strange to the system. I will grep the MAME source code for anything related to serial ports.

Re: sio overflows of some kind?
I have seen silo overflows on my serial port when I am using user mode ppp when using a PS/2 mouse and moused. Whilst downloading a large file I was able to cause multiple sio silo overflows by moving the mouse. I have stopped using moused since then (because of this) and can now download large files without problem but can still cause my serial ports to be unusable (requiring a reboot) if I run MAME first (before getting on the net) or while I am on the net. I can still use a PS/2 mouse, just not with moused, so XFree86 is using the mouse directly now instead of /dev/sysmouse.

Silo overflows and MAME can someone else reproduce this problem ??
This problem is easily reproducible. However to do so, you need a ROM image for an arcade game that the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator emulates as it wont do it without any roms in the directory "/usr/local/lib/mame/roms". I am using xmame installed from the ports collection (/usr/ports/emulators/xmame) on a very recent -CURRENT machine. If I run xmame *before* I get online with user mode ppp (or while I am on the net), the serial ports get hosed and I have to reboot or I continually get silo overflows. This is not right as it happens AFTER I exit xmame !!! Please can someone else reproduce this problem as I'd hate to think its only on the systems I have owned (Pentium 166 and Celeron 300). -- /===\ | Work: matthew.th...@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thy...@camtech.net.au | \===/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.

Re: Silo overflows and MAME can someone else reproduce this problem ??
My usermode ppp works fine normally as I can quite happily download 4 things at once without a single silo overflow (as I did last night) even when there is lots of disk activity or X11 activity.

Re: Silo overflows and MAME can someone else reproduce this problem??
The sio driver seems to get into some kind of state where once it starts overflowing there is nothing you can do other than reboot. If you can determine exactly what triggers this on your system and give the list something they can reproduce that would be helpfull. vortexia wrote: > > Im getting continous overflows on sio0 after I shutdown X no matter what I > do, even when there is NOTHING else running, the moment I shutdown X and I > move my mouse I get tons of overflows. > > I have no pppd running at all and no moused, any ideas? > > Cheers > > Andrew > > On Tue, 4 May 1999, Matthew Thyer wrote: > > > My usermode ppp works fine normally as I can quite happily download > > 4 things at once without a single silo overflow (as I did last night) > > even when there is lots of disk activity or X11 activity. > > > > Note this problem is unrelated to newbus as it occurs both before and > > after those commits. > > > > Matthew Thyer wrote: > > > > > > This problem is easily reproducible. > > > > > > However to do so, you need a ROM image for an arcade game that the > > > Multi Arcade Machine Emulator emulates as it wont do it without any > > > roms in the directory "/usr/local/lib/mame/roms". > > > > > > I am using xmame installed from the ports collection > > > (/usr/ports/emulators/xmame) on a very recent -CURRENT machine. > > > > > > If I run xmame *before* I get online with user mode ppp (or while > > > I am on the net), the serial ports get hosed and I have to reboot > > > or I continually get silo overflows. > > > > > > This is not right as it happens AFTER I exit xmame !!! > > > > > > Please can someone else reproduce this problem as I'd hate to think > > > its only on the systems I have owned (Pentium 166 and Celeron 300). > > > -- Matthew Thyer Phone: +61 8 8259 7249 Corporate Information Systems Fax:+61 8 8259 5537 Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Salisbury PO Box 1500 Salisbury South Australia 5108 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Doesn't anyone care about the broken sio ??
As far as I can tell, this is unrelated to newbus as the same actions would trigger this problem before and after newbus. I have been seeing this problem for many months (maybe years - but I've only recently identified a set of actions to reproduce it every time). The wierd thing is that I can download heaps of stuff all at the same time (at 48000 baud) and get over 5.5 K/s without a silo overflow BUT as soon as I run MAME, the serial port is stuffed and requires a reboot to do the smallest amount of traffic. NOTE: This occurs AFTER I exit MAME or while I keep it running Very strange. And its not just on this hardware. I'd just like someone to try to reproduce this. I realise that downloading a MAME ROM is problematic but surely someone out there owns an old space invaders machine or something similar.

Re: Doesn't anyone care about the broken sio ??
*** STOP PRESS *** I have just confirmed that restarting the X server is enough to fix the problem. So my apologies to Bruce, -CURRENT and the whole FreeBSD community in general for blaming sio. For the benefit of David Dawes, I'll quickly restate the problem: Running xmame (from the ports collection) causes lots of silo overflows with user mode ppp until I either restart the X server or reboot. This occurs even after I exit xmame. This is all on FreeBSD-CURRENT but has been happenning for months and is not newbus related. Thankyou Brian, you are the first to NOT reproduce the problem. Note that all my recent testing of this has been at 300 MHz so dont jump on me when you see that I normally overclock at 450 MHz. So compare configuration: My X server is XFree86 3.3.3.1 (from ports) and I use the XF86_SVGA server. My video card is an ET6000 "Jaton VIDEO-58P" with 2.25 MB RAM. I run in 16 bit colour with KDE 1.1.1. I run MAME with sound enabled and I'm NOT using Luigi's PCM driver but rather the old driver (whats it called ??). I have a new ABIT BX6 release 2.0 motherboard (with 16550s I assume). I have an Intel Celeron 300a CPU which I normally run at 450 MHz (using a 100 MHz memory bus speed instead of 66 MHz but when I run it at 300 MHz it doesn't make any difference to this problem). I have PC100 SD RAM with an EPROM. This RAM is rated at 7ns believe it or not. I'd like to be using Soren's ATAPI driver but it doesn't like my CD-ROM drive so I'm using the normal wd driver with flags a0ffa0ff. I'm using a KTX V.90 modem at 115000 baud. I typically get 45333, 46667 or 48000 connections to my ISP. I'm using a Microsoft serial mouse but am not using moused. I do have a PS/2 intellimouse compatible mouse attached but only use it when I'm on the darkside (In Windows 95) as it doesn't work with moused or in XFree86. My whole system has been re-compiled within the last 2 days (world, updated /etc, kernel AND ALL ports [XFree86 3.3.3.1, kde 1.1.1 etc etc etc]) Kernel config file (MATTE), /etc/XF86Config file and dmesg output attached. I have one question about my kernel config: How do I know when it's unsafe to use "options CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER" ? It would be good if the kernel disabled this option under those cases.

Fixed my MAMEd sio problem. Was: Re: Doesn't anyone care about the broken sio ??
Just so you all know (the list included) how I have fixed my silo overflow problem which occurred while running xmame (and after I quit until I restarted the X server) I have found the problem doesn't occur if I remove the following lines from the shell script I use to start xmame: xsetpointer Joystick sleep 1 xsetpointer pointer I was doing those three lines just before starting xmame to get the mouse pointer into the top left hand corner (my script also used vidtune to get the right resolution for each game). Since I have removed those lines it works fine. I can now download to my hearts content whilst playing some ancient game. (I'd like to know an easy way to move the mouse pointer though!) With those lines in the script I had to restart the X-server after using xmame or I'd get continuous silo overflows. FYI, the output of "xsetpointer -l" is: "keyboard" [XKeyboard] "pointer" [XPointer] "SWITCH"[XExtensionDevice] "Joystick" [XExtensionDevice] And as you can see from the XF86Config file in the message I'm replying to, I am loading several modules to use XExtension Devices and the PC joystick (which is compiled into my kernel): Load "xie.so" Load "pex5.so" Load "xf86Jstk.so" Matthew Thyer wrote: > > *** STOP PRESS *** I have just confirmed that restarting the X server >is enough to fix the problem.

Every time I boot my -CURRENT system at work I get this problem. And for me its not recent, its been happening ever since the aha driver was finally converted to CAM I think (3 or 4 months I guess). I am using a 1542B with an old Wren drive and some other drive. (Wren 7G springs to mind but I cant be sure). A 1.5GB and a 1.8GB drive are all I have on the SCSI bus. I haven't mentioned it because it still works OK after the 30 or so second delay and I'm too busy at work to provide enough information and follow an email exchange (as I'm not on the lists at work anymore).

XFree86 xsetpointer causes silo overflows (Was: Re: Fixed my MAMEd sio problem.)
I have confirmed that the problem occurs if I just do: xsetpointer Joystick sleep 1 xsetpointer pointer So M.A.M.E. is unrelated to the problem as Bruce Evans would suggest. So the problem appears to be with XFree86 not closing the joystick device after I've used it as a pointer with 'xsetpointer'. I am sure I am using xsetpointer correctly as I can use my PC joystick as a pointing device (once I calibrate it). I was just using xsetpointer with an incorrectly calibrated joystick so it moved the pointer to the top left corner of the screen in my xmame.sh shell script (I'd like to know how to do this another way).

The problem is that recent versions of MS-DOS (version 7 and above ? ...definitely the DOS that comes with Windows 98 and I think the DOS with Windows 95 under some circumstances) change various vectors which destroy FBSDBOOTs ability to work (this is because there is no way to determine where these vectors used to point and the original addresses are required for correct operation of either FBSDBOOT or the kernel/ loader). What I do know is that at least some older versions of MS-DOS do not do this. Therefore it *MAY* be possible to make a DOS 6.0, 6.20 or even 6.22 boot floppy which runs FBSDBOOT.EXE to boot your a.out FreeBSD kernel and hence the whole system. Hopefully now that Carlos Tapang has updated FBSDBOOT.EXE for ELF, such a boot floppy could boot a 3.1, 3.2 or -CURRENT system. Unfortunately the project cannot guarantee anything when you are booting from another vendor's operating system (such as MS-DOS) so its a lot easier to say that FBSDBOOT.EXE has been retired. Given the number of different DOSes that exist, that's an entirely understandable policy. I hope this clears things up (and adds a good summary to the archives). "Carlos C.

Re: XFree86 xsetpointer causes silo overflows (Was: Re: Fixed my MAMEd sio problem.)
The big problem is that the silo overflows continue after I have returned the pointer to the mouse (with "xsetpointer pointer"). This should close the joystick device shouldn't it ? If it doesn't then there is a problem with either the X server or FreeBSD. Bruce has already indicated that there is a problem with the FreeBSD joystick driver but he thought it should stop when the joystick device is closed but I see that the problem continues until I restart the X server so that would seem to indicate a problem with the X server.
