I don't think so.  The closest you can come to ``a single command''
would be a loop:

$ for dirname in a b ; do ln -s test/c "test/$dirname/clink" ; done

I think for a small company there is little choice if you need serious 
capacity on a budget.


300GB SATA.. in the $150 and lower
300GB 10K RPM SCSI $650 and up

$500 difference per drive.
2U with 8 drives: 4,000 Difference.

Not to mention you can get 750GB SATA drives cheaper than 300GB SCSI.

Did you check that named was still listeing on port tcp 953? What does
"netstat -Sa|grep rndc" tells you?

Can you telnet localhost 953?

Did you check that rndc and named are of the same version? Calling
rndc with no argument should give you the version, and any dig request
should give you the version of named. Do they have the same
installation date?

Best regards,

Olivier



Hello man, thanks for replying!

This is what I was able to extract so far ...

# netstat -Sa | grep rndc

tcp4   0  0  127.0.0.1.rndc *.*LISTEN

# rndc

I can telnet localhost 953 but it doesn't get no further than to 
Escape character is '^]'.


Again, thanks a lot, cheers!

Converting 'FLV' to 'MPG' format

[Gerard E. Seibert]

Google, as well as other web sites, seem to be using the 'FLV' format to 
encode videos. I have found a decoder that can translate from 'FLV' to 
'MPG' that works under win32; however, I have not been successful in 
locating a similar product in the ports system. Perhaps someone knows of 
such a product.

RE: vgetty Help

[fbsd]

Configure Modem to answer call
using HAYES Commands

ALL external and internal PCI voice modems since they were first
developed have been manufactured to comply to the Hayes standard.
When you turn on your modem or reset it, your modem loads the
‘active configuration profile’ into non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The
active configuration profile is a group of configuration settings,
derived from the values of the modem’s internal S registers, that
define how the modem will operate. The active configuration profile
can be either the factory default, or one of two user defined
profiles. The first time your modem is turned on, the factory
default profile is loaded into the ‘active profile' in non-volatile
memory (NVRAM). The factory default profile is stored in the modem’s
read-only memory (ROM) and cannot be changed. The factory default
profile contains standard settings which allow the majority of users
to use their modem without ever knowing about the Hayes standard.
Modems are not factory configured to answer incoming calls by
default, so you will have to manually create your own user profile,
enable auto answer on first ring, save it to one of the user
profiles in NVRAM, and tell the modem to use it as the default
profile on power up and reset.

Use the 'tip' command to send Hayes commands to permanently
configure the modem to answer incoming calls.

Note: The Hayes modem commands are capital letters and the '0' is a
zero.


On the command line enter

tip comX   # where X is the com port your modem is on.
AT&F0  # load the factory default profile0 into current profile.
ATS0=1 # tell current profile to answer on first ring.
AT&W0  # write current profile to saved user profile0.
AT&Y0  # tell modem to load user profile0 as default on power
up.


Use the keyboard ~ key followed by the . key to exit tip.


The above is from the FreeBSD install guide at www.a1poweruser.com

Now I know nothing about vgetty so this is a shot in the dark, But I
would think
changing your init-string handed to the modem via mgetty.config:
from this

ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1

to this

ATS0=1   should do the trick if you have configured vgetty
correctly.

Or just follow the above instructions and update the modems internal
config and
remove the init string statement from vgetty and be done with it.

Good luck.

Thanks fbsd,

It seems that the init string command gives to this modem (which has
a
Conexant chipset, according to Creative's website) is incorrect.

This init-string handed to the modem via mgetty.config: (again, this
is
for vgetty)

ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1

I'm not familiar with Hayes compatible commands and hoping someone

some tips for me out there.

Re: Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

How much more official can this get:

http://www.testdrive.hp.com/os/#bsd

How can a company officially support an operating system that does not
have a development organization that will guarentee a response on a
problem?  Doing so would be tanasmount to assuming FreeBSD development,
all that would happen is that anyone that has any problem with FreeBSD
could simply buy a HP server then whammo - instant free FreeBSD
custom programming.

Notice that while HP lists support for Linux, the fine print does not
support ALL Linux distributions.

You have no guarentee that any piece of hardware you buy will be
supported on any future revision of FreeBSD, or even Windows
for that matter.  I have lots of Intel gear in my basement that was
supported on various Windows versions in the past, which cannot
run today's Windows.  Your being unrealistic.

Why? 1TB and up is a SATA niche. You can buy 3 SATA arrays for the
price of 1 SCSI array Also... gigabit Ethernet is only 125MB/s
(Max) and and a single SATA drive can easily transfer at 50MB/s*. Your
limiting factor is probably going to be your bus with arrays/GigE so
SCSI is pointless unless you can take advantage of SCSI's TCQ with
high random access I/O loads, If you shift your work loads around you
can probably get around this. SATA is so cheap and good enough that we
will do whatever it takes to make it work... SCSI is already dead in
the entry level server market.

*I just tested this with two Maxtor SATA drives the other day:
dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/dev/disk2 bs=4m. It dropped off to about 30MB/s
at the end but my average read/write was just over 50MB/s.

how to check for a compromised system

[Brent]

Hello,
Im running several servers all ranging from FBSD 4.11 through the 5.4 release
, patched of course. MY question is how do i check a system to see if has been
compromised ? I have already run a current version "chkrootkit" & found nothing.

The symptom im seeing is yesterday all of a sudden the root user was removed
from the /etc/passwd file & Im not sure on how to track down what happened. I
managed to recover from this. Are there any other tools that i can use to
track down say who did what on the box? files that may have changed & time &
dates...

any help is greatly appreciated

Please rebuild `devel/apr-svn' with option `APR_UTIL_WITH_BERKELEY_DB=yes' and 
try again.

Or you can disable db4 support. Only 'fs' repository backend will be 
available.
To disable db4 support, define WITHOUT_BDB.

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/subversion.

There's another root kit search tool I've used called rkhunter.
It's in ports.

Have you rebooted the machine?  Sorry if this is obvious, but if
not, you could look for suspicous processes.  'Course, if you've
been rooted, you can't trust any of your binaries, including
'ps.'

What services was the machines running?  Maybe you could check
the modification time on /etc/passwd and look around that time in
the apache (or whatever) log files?

The one time I've dealt with a system compromise, I was able to
track down what happened by loooking at the apache log files
(they got in using a php exploit).  But I caught it fairly
quickly, and they never got root.

Probably some others here are wiser and more experienced than I.
HTH,

You need to plan ahead and install Samhain (or equiv) on the machines _before_
they're deployed so you can detect unauthorized changes.

Yeah, Samhain and its class of software.  Unfortunately, you have to have
it set up _before_ this happens in order for it to be useful.

I'm using a BenQ-Siemens S68 which connects through a normal 9pin
serial cable to my laptop, has build-in modem for GPRS. The ppp
daemon from the ports works out-of-the-box with it, you just plug
it in, say 'pppd call gprs' (having some config files in /etc/ppp
for 'gprs') and you are on air.

Chrooted ftpd users can't access system time.

[nocturnal]

Hi

I'm using the ftpd server that ships with FreeBSD and when i chroot a 
user i notice that all created directories and files have GMT time on 
them as if the process can't access the system time because it's 
chrooted. That's only my theory. I would love a way to solve this, i 
just can't imagine that people have had this problem for so long without 
solving it.

I'm still working on my program for serial communications.  While getting

FreeBSD serial driver etc. whether it supports hardware flow control
itself."  What I'm wondering is, does the driver support hardware flow
control?

There isn't a simple answer to that, but start with looking under /var/log and 
at the output of `last`.  You might consider running tcpdump -o _file_ for a 
day or so and review it for illicit traffic.



The symptom im seeing is yesterday all of a sudden the root user was removed
from the /etc/passwd file & Im not sure on how to track down what happened. I
managed to recover from this. Are there any other tools that i can use to
track down say who did what on the box? files that may have changed & time &

find / -mtime 2

I believe you merely need to copy or link the system's 
/etc/localtime to the effective /etc of the chroot tree.


But that's from memory, could only be theory too.

Quite right.

> So assuming I understand correctly, yes, please guide me in setting up

Assuming that your local home network uses addresses in the
192.168.0.0/16 range, you have to set up a local name server which will
recognize and reply for the following zones:

"drew." # "*.drew" are local home network names
192.168.0.* # reverse IP address -> name for home hosts
127.0.0.*   # localhost zone (optional)

Optionally, you can set up a 'slave' zone for the `mykitchentable.net'
hostnames, but this is not obligatory.

To set up the local nameserver for the local zones mentioned above, you
will need to modify (or create) at least the following files:

/etc/namedb/named.conf
/etc/namedb/master/drew
/etc/namedb/master/drew.rev
/etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev
/etc/namedb/master/localhost-v6.rev
/etc/rc.conf

After you finish setting up all these files, you should be able to:

* Resolve hostnames of the form foo.drew to IP addresses of your
  internal home network.

* Resolve IP addresses of your internal home network to hostnames of
  the form foo.drew.

* Resolve `localhost' to your 127.0.0.1 address (and its IPv6
  equivalent).

* Check your new named setup and see that it works as expected

* Troubleshoot your setup, i.e. tweak the logging level of named and
  find out what it logs through syslog

1. Setting up named.conf


The `named.conf' file is the one BIND reads to find out which `zones' to
load (a `zone' is BIND terminology for what you may have heard being
called a `domain').

The FreeBSD source tree contains a sample `named.conf' file at
`/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.conf', which normally gets installed as
`/etc/namedb/named.conf' on your system.  This file is not used, until
you decide to enable the `named' daemon though.

The sample file installed as `/etc/namedb/named.conf' includes several
commented parts that you can use as examples for writing your own
`named.conf' file.

After you have finished writing your own `named.conf' file it should
contain:

* An `options' section, with global options that apply to the way
  your `named' service works.

* Optionally, a `logging' section, with the configuration options
  that define what is logged, where it is logged, etc.

* A `root' zone entry, which points to the root DNS servers.  An up
  to date list is distributed with the FreeBSD source tree, and can
  be found at `/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.root'.

* Optionally, a `localhost' zone entry (for resolving 127.0.0.1 to a
  hostname of your choise).

* Optionally, a `localhost-v6' zone entry (for resolving the IPv6
  equivalent of 127.0.0.1 to a hostname of your choise).

* A zone entry for your internal, home network.

1.1. Global `options' for `named.conf'
==

The `options' section of your `named.conf' file defines stuff that tunes
global parameters of the `named' service.  After removing the stuff that
is commented out or an example, the `options' section of the default
`named.conf' file looks like this:

options {
directory   "/etc/namedb";
pid-file"/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file   "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
listen-on   { 127.0.0.1; };
};

Most of these defaults should work just fine for a standalone `named'
server, but you will have to tweak a bit the `listen-on' option to make
it work in an internal, home network.  T

We do host there, and their FreeBSD support is great, that's true. 
However, they do not want to promise it. I tried to convince them to say 
that they will support it and that I can accept if given shift does not 
have a FreeBSD capable person, but they are very careful to promise 
things they can not keep.


The perfect thing would have been if they offer the support. They have 
been answering the phone within 2-3 seconds every time I called the last 
several years. But may be it is too much for them to promise to support 
everything.

The disk itself is probably having serious problems.  I would try
copying the whole filesystem.  dd(1) with conv=noerror may be a good
start.

Try compiling and installing lsof in ports. That may help in  
determining what files are open so then you can trace the files back  
to any given processes that may still have the files open, so then  
you can determine the bottlenecks better.

At this level it's called a Service Level Agreement (SLA) not a promise...

It will probably work, as long as the internal machines have an internal
nameserver as the first `nameserver' entry of their `resolv.conf' file.

If you are planning to use the same domain name for both the internal
and externally visible IP addresses, it's not a very good idea though.

Overloading a domain with inside addresses means that when you are
`inside' the local network, you can only see the internal IP addresses :(

> Can I set up my server to be authoritative for .mykitchentable.net
> instead of .drew but only be visible from the inside?

Yes.  But then you will only be able to see internal IP addresses when
you ask for `whatever.mykitchentable.net'.  The external webserver with
the same name will be "masked" by the internal name server.

> Obviously if it responded to queries from the Internet, I'd really

I generally go for locally visible internal domain names, to avoid the
"masking" problems mentioned above.  As long as your internal DNS server
blocks queries from everyone except the internal network (i.e. using the
`allow-query' option in either the global "options { ... }" section or
for the internal zone entry in `named.conf'), this should work.

Well, Dell do have a DRAC which at least allows remote console 
independent of OS - also remote CD/floppy so you can install BSD from 
300 miles away (as long as you have a windows(!) machine with a

Of course, their "OpenManage" software isn't, it's closed and only works

lsof is nice, but don't forget about fstat, which comes with FreeBSD.

Thank you for your reply.



You're welcome of course :-)

  

I use NAT for my servers that are visible from the outside so I set
ZoneEdit to return the same address for all servers at
mykitchentable.net which is currently 67.137.238.101.



Excellent!  This is exactly what I was hoping the setup would be.

  

Thus www.mykitchentable.net, drew.mykitchentable.net,
mykitchentable.net, and whatever else. all return 67.137.238.101.
Based up this, it seems that I should leave ZoneEdit alone and set up
a local "master zone" visible only to my private LAN as you describe
above.  Being a slave and pulling from ZoneEdit wouldn't have any
benefit as the public address won't equal the private address.



Quite right.

  

So assuming I understand correctly, yes, please guide me in setting up
a local master zone.



Assuming that your local home network uses addresses in the
192.168.0.0/16 range, you have to set up a local name server which will
recognize and reply for the following zones:

"drew."   # "*.drew" are local home network names
192.168.0.* # reverse IP address -> name for home hosts
127.0.0.*   # localhost zone (optional)
  


I use virtual servers with Apache.   To access those from the inside, I 
have to use the same URL as is used on the outside.  So from the 
Internet, I need drew.mykitchentable.net to resolve to my public IP but 
on the inside, I need it to resolve to 192.168.0.x.  Thus it seems to me 
that the .drew zone won't work for my setup.  Or am I missing something?


Can I set up my server to be authoritative for .mykitchentable.net 
instead of .drew but only be visible from the inside?  Obviously if it 
responded to queries from the Internet, I'd really have a mess.  What do 
you recommend?

I can't tell you what the 'right' choice is... but I'll relate my experience 
for you.  I'm using an unlocked motorola e680i worldphone,  it can be used as 
a modem (via usb or bluetooth).  Mostly I connect w/ rfcomm_pppd and a 3COM 
bluetooth adapter (3CREB96); it works reasonably well.  But beware!!!  I have 
experienced random system crashes/reboots after 'heavy' usage in this config 
on my 6.1-stable system (btw, if anyone can help me fix/trace this I'd 
appreciate it).

Otherwise, setup is relatively typical and painless.  IIRC, I needed to 'bond' 
the device and add/edit the rfcomm-dialup profile in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.  The 
profile resembles:

< rfcomm-dialup:
<  # This is IMPORTANT option
<  enable force-scripts
<
<  # You might want to change these
<  set authname
<  set authkey
<  set phone "*99***1#"
<
<  # You might want to adjust dial string as well
<  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
<\"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
<  set login
<  set timeout 30
<  enable dns
<  resolv rewrite
<
<  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
<  add default HISADDR

If you want to try this profile remove the 'leading less than signs' (this was 
diff output).  Also, the 'phone' number might vary by provider (I'm using 
T-Mobile in USA).  Make sure to read the bluetooth section from the handbook 
(esp. section 27.4.8).  Then when you want to connect you tell the phone to 
go into discoverable 'modem' mode and run the following commands on your 
FreeBSD box (as root?):

$ /etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0
$ rfcomm_pppd -d -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -c -C DUN -l rfcomm-dialup

Replace the 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' w/ the bluetooth address of your phone, 
replace the 'ubt0' with your computer's bluetooth device name.  When you want 
to disconnect, hit ctrl-c in the terminal which is running rfcomm_ppd and 
stop bluetooth: $ /etc/rc.bluetooth stop ubt0

If you don't have a bluetooth adapter I assume that using the phone's usb 
cable would work too - and likely not crash the system either, lol.  However, 
I'm not familiar w/ that process (using it as a usb modem) so I won't try to 
describe it... but I imagine it's quite similar to using any usb phone modem.

So you know, the phone can act as a mass storage device or modem when 
connected via usb (this is controlled by a setting in the phone).  You may be 
able to tell, I'm pretty happy w/ this linux based phone from motorola.  IMHO 
it's a good value (tough to find in the USA though, had mine imported from 
china).  I mean, the phone provides a wireless connection to the internet AND 
a wireless connection to my computer (using bluetooth) simultaneously, poof 
computer on internet... how cool is that?  It's tri-band gsm, uses regular SD 
flash memory up to 2gb (not mini ones, but full-size), plays mp3s, mp4 (video 
and audio).  About the only thing is that it's kind of a 'special' phone so 
it takes some time to get used to using (e.g. touchscreen, no keypad).

Anyway, data rates are comparable to a 33.6 phone modem but AFAIK this will 
vary /some/ according to how busy the local cell-site is.  Oh, you should 
probably have some kind of data plan w/ your service provider too ;-)  Well, 
that goes without saying.

REMEMBER, this setup (i.e. using rfcomm_pppd) seems to be a *bit* unstable 
the random crashes/reboots occur after say ~30-45 minutes of continual/heavy 
use (could just be my particular setup though).  However, for the occasional 
login it works well... just make sure everything is saved, and you're not 
doing anything *too* important on the machine ;-)

YMMV,
Dino

The classic split horizon problem.  For DNS the answer is to use 'views':

In essence it is a mechanism for replying with different data depending
on who is asking the question.

Yes and no.  LSI has high end SCSI stuff.  I was just replying in  
general that vendors are not necessarily dropping support.   Some  
stuff is dropped, some stuff just not updated, etc.  And some new  
vendors or existing vendors with new products have increased support.

True.


 I have lots of Intel gear in my basement that was
supported on various Windows versions in the past, which cannot
run today's Windows.  Your being unrealistic.


I am aware of their test drives. 
What doesn't seem "realistic" to me is that a vendor that dedicates the 
resources to have a test drive environment will not say that 
FreeBSD is "unoficially supported".


If they didn't have the test drive and they were completely uninvolved with 
FreeBSD I would have no issue. It is the fact that they are involved with 
FreeBSD yet when asked about it, they don't simply state what is.. it is not 
officially supported, but we have the test drive.. and we have people 
working it in some way shape or form.

HDD Geometry Issues

[Sean M.]

My HDD is an ST340810A 3.31. The BIOS gives its stats as:

Cylinder: 19158
Head:16
Precomp:  0
Landing Zone: 19157
Sector: 255

I found the official doc at
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/ata/st340810a.html although
I'm not too sure how to interpret it.

When I go to allocate disk space during install, it says that a
geometry of 77545/16/63 is incorrect and uses instead 4865/255/63. Even
when I reset the geometry to 19158/16/255, it says that's wrong too.

If I use the entire disk with 'A', I see:

  Offset  Size(ST)   End   Name  PType Desc  Subtype

Spinning down a USB drive?

[Scott Mitchell]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any way to ask a USB-attached drive to spin down (or
better yet some way to have it happen automatically after an idle timeout)?
I've tried "camcontrol stop" but it doesn't like that:

(511) llama:~ $ sudo camcontrol stop 1:0:0 -v
Error received from stop unit command
(pass0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): STOP START UNIT. CDB: 1b 0 0 0 0 0
(pass0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(pass0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(pass0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0
(pass0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Invalid field in CDB

The drive is just a regular Seagate PATA drive in an external enclosure
that can be connected over FireWire or USB.  I've had it running over FW
for a couple of years quite happily; "camcontrol stop" would make it spin
down and "camcontrol start" spin it back up again when connected this way.
Unfortunately the FW interface on either the drive or the machine has died
so I've had to switch over to USB.  The drive is only used for a couple of
hours daily for backups - I'd like to keep it spun down the rest of the
time simply because it gets pretty hot even when idle, and to save a bit of
power.

The USB-ATA adapter shows up like this:

(515) llama:~ $ usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), VIA(0x), 
rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, USB TO IDE(0x0702), Genesys 
Logic(0x05e3), rev 0.02
[...]

It's using USB 1.1 right now because the machine is running 5.4 where USB
2.0 wasn't enabled by default in GENERIC (and I didn't think I needed it).

I can post dmesg and other info as necessary.

Many thanks in advance,

Scott

If the server is 300KM from... no you don't want to.
If the server is in another country for example...no you don't want to.
If you have to pay extra for someone to reboot, put a cd, whatever on
the machine, no you don't want to.
Think this through outside your usual enviroment.

Dont get me wrong.. I can get approval to go SCSI since our

err.. should have say "can't get approval" to go SCSI.. We are using SATA.
 


Why? 1TB and up is a SATA niche.


Correct.. that is what we use.


You can buy 3 SATA arrays for the price of 1 SCSI array



Yup. SCSI drives are 3 to 5 times more expensive than SATA.


 Also... gigabit Ethernet is only 125MB/s
(Max) and and a single SATA drive can easily transfer at 50MB/s*.


But RAID can possibly do more than 125MB/sec if doing large sequential 
files..


When I last tested on a 100Mb switch vs a 1000Mb switch, the performance 
difference in our case (rsyncing data from Maildir) was around 25% to 30% as 
measured over a week. And this is mostly lots and lots of small files. That 
tells me that even with SATA we are able to go over the 100Mb limit.

8 Disks in RAID 10, with 2 hot spares.



limiting factor is probably going to be your bus with arrays/GigE so
SCSI is pointless unless you can take advantage of SCSI's TCQ with
high random access I/O loads


If we could afford it I still think SCSI would be usefull. It is not only 
about raw throughput, but how quickly you can get the data to the apps or 
to disk. Specially in a database or Maildir enviroment where there is lots 
of I/O going on.



*I just tested this with two Maxtor SATA drives the other day:
dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/dev/disk2 bs=4m. It dropped off to about 30MB/s
at the end but my average read/write was just over 50MB/s.


But that is mostly sequential work.. I think for sequential work SATA is 
definitely the way to go.. is when you get into the random I/O that 
supposedly SCSI outshines SATA.

Re: HDD Geometry Issues

[jdow]

From: "Sean M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


My HDD is an ST340810A 3.31. The BIOS gives its stats as:

Cylinder: 19158
Head:16
Precomp:  0
Landing Zone: 19157
Sector: 255

I found the official doc at
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/ata/st340810a.html although
I'm not too sure how to interpret it.

When I go to allocate disk space during install, it says that a
geometry of 77545/16/63 is incorrect and uses instead 4865/255/63. Even
when I reset the geometry to 19158/16/255, it says that's wrong too.

If I use the entire disk with 'A', I see:

 Offset  Size(ST)   End   Name  PType Desc  Subtype
  06362   ---  12   unused 0
 63  78156162  78156224  ad0s1  8  freebsd165
78156225  9135  78165359   ---  12   unused 0


In real terms modern operating systems don't give a moldy Fig Newton
about the CHS specifications of the drive. They simply multiply the
numbers out and use absolute block numbers, instead. I do note that
the 4865/255/63 geometry is smaller than the BIOS geometry by a
little. The 77545/16/63 is 720 blocks bigger than the BIOS geometry.

Draw your own conclusions. Now, the question is "Precisely how many
BLOCKS are there on the disk?"

If FreeBSD insists on something smaller based on its own CSH algorithm
I'd be wondering why. In the bad old days of ST-506 drives this was
meaningful. The CHS values could be manipulated to speed up disks on
machines using these drives. But even the old Commodore 6502 based
machines and old Apple machines showed that there was no good reason
for the number of blocks per head per 360 degrees of the surface needs
to be constant. The ONLY thing that seems to be stuck in the old CSH
model are floppy disks for DOS type PCs. Hard disks use varying numbers
of blocks per track to increase capacity by keeping the bit density
roughly constant. CDs and DVDs carry this one more step and use a
spiral track.

With such variable track density disks no single CSH value is particularly
good for optimizing seeks. You must know the disk structure in detail
to work those optimizations. So it's easier to simply think in terms of
blocks and work from there.

All that said, if the BIOS total block count is not incredibly wrong
(landing zone WITHIN the recording area of the disk?) I'd wonder why
the FreeBSD tool would not accept its numbers. If the final numbers
you gave are real then all three sets of values should work. In any
case the total size lost from the largest to the smallest of those
CSH figures is a mere (by today's standards) 4677120 bytes, oddly
that's precisely what the figures you show. The Seagate site shows
the size is consonant with the 77545/16/63 number.

BUT note this from right at the bottom of the Seagate page you cite:
"Seagate reserves the right to change, without notice, product
offerings or specifications. (04/10/2001)"

They may have made a change. I wonder if there is a utility that will
return the actual capacity that the drive reports to the OS.

Segmentation Fault with pear on several machines

[eculp]

I've been updating all my ports and I started to get segmentation 
faults with pear.  All I have to do is to type pear, let it list the 
options and it finishes with the following error and threatens to open 
a debugger that never opens.


I now have three machines that have the problem.  There is little in 
common between them.  One is a P4 running up to date current, another 
is AMD Athlon also running up to date current and the last is a brand 
new DELL P-4 Server with 2G of ECC memory that I just finished 
installing RELENG_6, php5, php5-extensions, pear, etc. and have the 
same problem.  All the other machines are a couple of years old.  All 
three of the machines are cvsuping, building world, and kernels daily 
with no problems at all.  All the systems libraries, includes, etc are 
up to date.  I have installed world erased all more than a day old and 
re installed world several times in the last few days on the two older 
ones and the dell installation is less than 48 hours old and has build 
and installed world twice.


The simplest way to get the error is to just run the pear command and 
it finishes with the following:


 Type "pear help options" to list all options.
 Type "pear help shortcuts" to list all command shortcuts.
 Type "pear help " to get the help for the specified command.
 Segmentation Fault in 42156, waiting for debugger

I have no idea what could cause the problem and much less, how to 
troubleshoot it.  Google hasn't been my friend, yet, and that worries 
me ;)  Sounds like operator error, but I have no idea how.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

ed

P.S. Versions of software that I have are:

php5-5.1.4
pear-1.4.6
I haven't installed more pear because of the error.

Great stuff.  Thank you for this. I've installed and played around with this

Well, these programs are "data collection/processing" orientated, as opposed
to providing the raw data which is what I was looking for. This raw data
will be used my by Nagios and mrtg etc to make alerts and graphs

You're going to want something like this in your ipnat configuration:

Where int0 is your internal interface name, and 192.168.0.1 is your

Error: shared library "expat.5" does not exist

[Rob Szarka]

[Giving this another try, in case everyone was busy watching the 
world cup the first time  ;) ]


I'm running into a problem compiling several PHP extensions that 
depend on expat. They die with an error like the following:


***

===>   fontconfig-2.2.3,1 depends on shared library: expat.5 - not found
===>Verifying install for expat.5 in /usr/ports/textproc/expat2
===>   Returning to build of fontconfig-2.2.3,1
Error: shared library "expat.5" does not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/t1lib.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.

**

I have the following in /usr/ports/local:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  158440 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.a
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel 793 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 Jun 23 11:03 
/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.6

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  157398 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6

But not expat*

It would seem that fontconfig is looking explicitly for expat.5 and 
that perhaps the name of the library has changed?


LIB_DEPENDS=freetype.9:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2 \
expat.5:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2

I did follow this advice in UPGRADING, to no avail: "Users of expat2 
(and its many dependencies) should do the following to  properly 
update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2"


Any suggestions about how to fix or work around this issue?
