Your Toshiba External USB HDD must have 2.0 speeds to be able to transfer at that speed... hooking a 2.0 device into a 1.x port will either cause port shutdown, or a backwards compatible downstep for the device in terms of speed.

What are you using to upgrade "all installed ports" that rebuilds ports that are current? This shouldn't happen with portupgrade or other port management tools even if you use the "all" option. However it is sometimes necessary to rebuild a port if it depends upon something that is upgraded. This is pretty much unavoidable when applications share libraries. tired of having my main box grinding away for endless days You can persuade port management tools to use packages when packages are available. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: is there a way to upgrade Only ports that need it??
Gary Kline wrote: is there any way t o not upgrade "all installed ports", but only those that are not current? tired of having my main box grinding away for endless days This is what programs like portmaster and portupgrade are designed to do. If you update your ports tree by portsnap or csup, grab a fresh INDEX by 'make fetchindex' and then run (eg): portupgrade -a it will update in dependency order all of your installed ports where a newer version is available. There are occasional exceptions where this procedure is not sufficient: these are documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING, including instructions on what needs to be done to get up to date. Even so, while UPDATING frequently recommends reinstalling more ports than the regular procedure, it is still almost always a subset of your installed ports. In fact, the only situation I have come across where is is required to upgrade all of the ports on a machine is when upgrading over a major version number. Even that is a bit overkill -- there's no reason to reinstall a port that consists of pure perl or php or shell code, or of sets of images or other non-executable data.

A normal USB controller chip will provide one or more UHCI or OHCI (but never both) interfaces for handling Low and Full Speed devices and one EHCI interface for handling Hi-Speed (480Mbit/sec) devices. If you have several USB controllers in your computer you can indeed see both uhci and ohci devices as well as several ehci devices. > > > Your Toshiba External USB HDD must have 2.0 speeds to be able to transfer at > that speed... hooking a 2.0 device into a 1.x port will either cause port > shutdown, or a backwards compatible downstep for the device in terms of > speed. > > > Hope this explanation helps. > > --TJ > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" -- Erik Trulsson ertr1...@student.uu.se ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

A flash drive/card is more like a removable hard drive. Since it's so much bigger than a floppy etc (typically) it makes sense to have a proper slice (partition) structure. If you want to boot off a floppy, it's a different operation from booting off a HDD for precisely this reason. Whereas a floppy isn't a proper, 'fixed' type disk; it's a tiny thing, suitable for max ~10 files. There's no need to have the overhead of a partition table, MBR etc. Same with CDs, booting off them involves several strange fudges (El Torito). Since a flash card would be a sensible thing to boot off, the designers want it to look more like a hard drive; as well as having the flexibility.

How to diagnose hardware problem?
I have what looks like a hardware problem with an Intel 1U server, which I am using mainly as a mysql database server for some of my bigger website clients. The server went down last week with a badly corrupted file system. After spending a day trying to fix the file system, we gave up and did a fresh install of FreeBSD, PF, and mysql, using our daily backups to restore the database. It all seemed to work fine until I switched the websites from the temporary database server that I had been using, onto the restored server. The database ran well for about 2 minutes, then the server crashed again. The filesystem was again corrupted so badly that we could not even log in to look at the logs. We've reinstalled FreeBSD again, just to be able to SSH into the box. It looks like there is probably a hardware problem, like a bad power supply or overheating CPU that fails when the load of the database is applied. Problem is, I have no idea how to determine which bits are failing. Can anyone suggest a favorite book or website that focuses on how to troubleshoot hardware issues?

I'm still running 6.3, but 7.x probably acts the same way. It takes *two* ifconfig commands to get the interface up and working. The "up" has to appear by itself on the first ifconfig. Once that completes okay, I then run a second ifconfig with the rest of the options. In other words, if I do # ifconfig ndis0 up [rest of options] all that happens is the interface comes "up", and the rest of the options are ignored. If I do # ifconfig ndis0 up # ifconfig ndis0 [rest of options] all is well. That means, of course, that I end up having to do it manually because the stuff in /etc/rc.d doesn't handle more than one ifconfig per interface on system startup. :-( Scott Bennett, Comm.

Re: How to diagnose hardware problem?
First things first; if the machine is still in warranty, don't mess with it but send it back to the manufacturer and demand a replacement. It is in warranty and I am following their process. I'm hoping to short-circuit that process by finding the problem on my own, if possible. Plus, I've never really had to deal with a hardware failure before, so it's a good learning process. If the machine is out of warranty, you might consider replacing it altogether. My employer's IT department ditches PC's and servers at the first failure after the warranty runs out. Accordinf to them it's cheaper than repairing them. But if you want to have a go, this might help: http://www.daileyint.com/hmdpc/manual.htm Basically, it's just a problem of elimination. First check if your machine is the only one having problems at the hosting site. Maybe they have unstable electrical power. Then make sure that all expansion cards and RAM are well-seated, and that all connectors are OK. Also check that there is no dust build- up on e.g. fans and heatsinks. If necessary, clean carefully with (dry, oil free) compressed air. Dust can lead to short circuits or reduced cooling. Next, look for capacitors that have leaked fluid, or have bulging metal end plates on the motherboard; those are dead or dying. It's a leading cause of motherboard failure. It is possible to replace them, but you'll need the right equipment: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fixing-motherboard,1606.html Install a monitoring program like mbmon or healthd, and have it log to another machine or a USB stick mounted syncronously. Monitor CPU temperature, fan speeds and the different voltages. Not all power supplies are created equally. See the articles at tom's hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Components,1/Power-Supplies,6/ If you've found nothing so far, it's time to start swapping out components, starting with the power supply. This is all good stuff to try.

6.2 STABLE to 6.2 RELEASE problem
Hello, I was wondering if anyone might have some insight into this problem I'm having. I've downgraded a 6.2 STABLE system to 6.2 RELEASE for the purpose of being able to upgrade it via freebsd-update. I followed the steps as detailed here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html To summarize, the currently recommended way of upgrading FreeBSD from sources is: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # shutdown -r now Note: There are a few rare cases when an extra run of mergemaster -p is needed before the buildworld step. These are described in UPDATING. In general, though, you can safely omit this step if you are not updating across one or more major FreeBSD versions. After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt). Then run: # adjkerntz -i # mount -a -t ufs # mergemaster -p # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Now, after I reboot, I get an error when it tries mounting /usr: NO WRITE ACCESS INCONSISTENCIES FOUND, run fsck MANUALLY! So, I did that and it found some free block inconsistencies and fixed those but it is still bailing when it tries mounting /usr on the reboot. I can boot to single user mode and run fsck -p and that is fine. I can mount the partition manually and browse through the files fine. One other weird thing is that it seems to mount /dev/md0 on /var as well which doesn't look right. Nothing in /etc/fstab about it. Maybe some other file that got mixed up during mergemaster? I said "fix later" for all files mergemaster came back with. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
