Did you do them in that order, or did you do the smb (slow) one first?

If the slow was first, I'm thinking caching on the server could be a major 
factor.


Yesterday I did four test:
_ SMB find resulting in over 10 minutes first time;
_ SMB find resulting in nearly 10 minutes second time;
_ NFS find resulting in a little over 1 minute first time;
_ NFS find resulting in a little less than 1 minute second time.


Today I tried again in reverse order:
_ NFS find took 3 minutes;
_ NFS find again took 21 seconds;
_ SMB find took over 9 minutes;
_ SMB find again took again over 9 minutes.

So, while caching plays a role, it just isn't it.
The server was possibly doing other things, so the above figures might 
not be that correct; however a difference in the magnitude order is just 
too big (and deterministic) to be considered random noise.

C++11 not working anymore with clang 3.2

2013-07-06 Thread David Demelier
Hello there,

I've installed the c++ (libc++ library) like this :

make -C /usr/src/lib/libcxxrt all install
make CXX=clang -C /usr/src/lib/libc++ all install

Then, I was able to compile with clang++ using -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++.

And now, after the clang-3.2 update I can't build anymore, I get this error:

/usr/local/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/irccd.dir/Irccd.cpp.o: undefined reference to 
symbol '__cxa_free_exception@@CXXABI_1.3'
/usr/local/bin/ld: note: '__cxa_free_exception@@CXXABI_1.3' is defined in DSO 
//lib/libcxxrt.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line
//lib/libcxxrt.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see

*** [irccd/irccd] Error code 1

I've also tried recompiling libc++ and libcxxrt with the last clang++ but it 
didn't help.

Kind of the opposite: UEFI expects GPT, but also expects a particular 
set of partitions.  And then there's the SecureBoot situation.

Yes.  There should be some sort of legacy boot.  In UEFI mode, 
SecureBoot can be disabled, so with the correct partition layout FreeBSD 
should boot even in UEFI (untested, I do not yet have a UEFI system).

Touch screen support in 9 Release

2013-07-06 Thread Ben Paley
Hello,

My employer is going to replace my aging laptop soon. We've always used Macs at 
work but I'd kinda like to get back to FreeBSD. His criteria are Windows 8 and 
a touch screen, mine is decent FreeBSD support.

So, what is the state of support for touch screens at the moment? Most if the 
information I can find is from four or five years ago, and I can't seem to find 
out what's going on now.

And, any recommendations for a machine? I'd be using it primarily for web 
development. 

Thanks for your help,
Ben

install on external hdd

2013-07-06 Thread Nazar Kazakov
Hello everyone, I am new in FreeBSD. I want to install from DVD FreeBSD on an 
external hdd and I get an error when running the program partitioning. When I 
press alt + ctrl + F3, last lines: 
rm: /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Running installation step: autopart
Segmentation fault
Running installation step: umount

I found on Google about bsdinstall segfault without disks. Then I reboot 
computer, disconnected the hdd and connected it immediately after starting 
bsdinstall, that's what I brought:

usb_alloc_device: set address 2 failed (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, 
USB_ERR_STALLED
usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, 
USB_ERR_STALLED
usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored)
usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, 
USB_ERR_STALLED
ugen1.2:  at usbus1 (disconnected)
uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device

As I understand it, my external hdd is not mounted.
Maybe it's because I have a hdd with usb 3.0, but my computer does not have usb 
3.0.

Please, help.

It should not matter when the disk is attached; bsdinstall
will operate on any disk recognized by the system, no matter
if detected at program runtime or system boot.



> As I understand it, my external hdd is not mounted.

The disk is not _recognized_. Only a file system can be
mounted (which requires the disk to be recognized). For
a USB disk, from the /dev/ugenX.Y device a /dev/daX device
will be "generated", corresponding to the disk. The process
you've shown above does not even reach that step.

If you go to the shell, you can enter "dmesg" to see the
last messages that will be the same. You can also check
the content of /dev regarding daX devices ("ls /dev/da*")
or use "camcontrol devlist" to check if they are present.



> Maybe it's because I have a hdd with usb 3.0, but my computer
> does not have usb 3.0.

Yes, this looks like a typical "cannot connect" error.
Normally, a USB 3 disk would "switch down" to USB 2.
But USB 3 has a different current requirement, so it
could be possible that the power drain from the USB port
is insufficient for the disk to work properly. Can you
try to attach a separate power supply to the disk?
For USB 3, _all_ involved parts (disk, cable, ports,
controller, OS) need to be in "USB 3 mode", else it
probably won't work.

install on external hdd

2013-07-06 Thread Nazar Kazakov
In dmesg repeats the old conclusion that I wrote, but in dmesg I found 
information about five usbus and all except the last one (it has 2.0) written 
usb 1.0. I tried to connect the hdd to last, but failed. Also about usbus 
written that they are 2-port hub (probably built into the motherboard). In the 
first four usbus is intel UHCI root HUB, at the last - intel EHCI root HUB
"ls / dev / da *" finds nothing
"camcontrol devlist" outputs only DVD RW

My hdd has an input for an external power supply, and it is already connected 
to a second usb port.

Looks like a current issue. From WP:

A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0,
and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a
maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port
in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0.

If the disk needs more than 500 mA to spin up and start
properly, it won't work on a USB 2.0 port unless you
use the external power supply.



> Also about usbus written that they are 2-port hub (probably
> built into the motherboard). In the first four usbus is intel

That kind of combination can often be found. My older home PC
also had this kind of configuration (Intel EHCI, VIA UHCI).



> "ls / dev / da *" finds nothing
> "camcontrol devlist" outputs only DVD RW

This shows that the disk isn't recognized by the OS, therefore
not usable in any disk-related operation.

> already connected to a second usb port.

Also check the USB cable. Sometimes a "partially defective"
cable causes this kind of trouble.

I tried the xbrightness port, but no luck however I don't really

xbrightness 1.0

Could this be related to the fact that I've built Xorg with:

Wow wow wow, their numbers with SMB seem super low.

They claim to get 80Mb/s NFS vs 7Mb SMB.

I'm getting 80-100Mbs with samba here with a core i3, 4gb of RAM and a 12tb 
raidz2 pool on GREEN drives, which are definitely not server grade (replacing 
them with WD reds, btw).
