Yeah, install XP first and then stick BSD on there. The boot manager from BSD, although not very elegant, will let you choose XP or BSD on startup. You can setup XP's to boot another OS as well, but it's more difficult. One OS per drive should work fine as well. Have fun.

The "proper" way, I don't know. You can syn the source tree and rebuild or just patch your current source tree. Either way should work.

There is a difference between open sourcing the binary blob and possibly giving away optimizations, trade secrets, etc... and allowing easier access to either hardware register specs or specs to write a wrapper around a universal blob. Personally, I think they see it as a "quality" control issue, though the quality of their own code is sometimes circumspect. The card companies sell hardware and this is where their money is made and/or a better experience with the software drivers. Open the hardware spec, add a support clause that any "open source" drivers aren't officially supported and you're good to go. Opening the hardware spec will do nothing except sell more hardware. a) the average joe will continue to buy systems with the supported hardware / drivers, most likely Windows, OS X or a major Linux distro. Probably wouldn't even know the open source ones exist. b) the geeks of the world will start running the open source driver if it's better or not if it's worse for their applications. Either way, it will only sell more hardware. c) The FOSS only crowd will start using the hardware since it has a fully open source drivers. The open source driver doesn't need to be able to run Doom5 at incredible speeds, it just needs high quality 2d and the ability to handle some 3d compositing, etc... for desktop effects.

It shouldn't be a problem. If you stick the "broken" drive in a new system it will show up as a new device to the 2nd system. You will then manually mount the 1st system via the device node to wherever you want. It will not auto-mount that to /var . So, for example your 2nd system has /dev/ad4s1 as its main disk. When you plig the 2nd disk (from the old box) it will show up as /dev/ad5s1 or similar. YOu would then just mount the /var/ slice to wherever you want. For example: mount /dev/ad5sa6 /mnt/oldvar or similar. Please note that your device nodes and slice numbers will most likely be different.

I've seen many a little dlink style or similar router work fine until it has to churn through a lot of packets and then it just can't handle it, starts getting warm doing all the computation and then eventually freezes. I'm not ruling out a memory leak or similar, but I'm currently doing the same with a little atom ITX board and it handles all the torrents for myself and the roomies without issue. I'm using rtorrent myself with pf and 8.0-RC1-stable. I believe the pf code is backported to 7. Also, if it was just a memory leak it will still happen with non-torrent traffic, just most likely slower.

I know it's not FreeBSD, but check out a Nexenta (NexentaStor Community Edition). As long as you're willing to spend some money on the hardware you should be able to reach the performance you're looking for. Basically, ZFS raidZ vols with some high-end SSDs setup as memory "caching" disks and then JBOD controllers with 10K rpm SAS drives should get you 12TB without issue. Also, FreeBSD 9 with it's updated ZFS version "should" get you to the same spot assuming you can find a well supported NIC stack, JBOD controller and SSDs and SAS drives you should be fine. However, you're probably talking $10K-$30k of hardware depending on what you want to spend / need. However, that would mean running CURRENT which may or may not be what you want. ZFS with the right JBOD controller and memory caches really does it just as well as a hardware RAID card if not better and it's much more flexible. We've got a 20TB HA setup with Nexenta right now with a high-end DDR3 memory SSD, a raidZ SSD set and sets of 4 disk raidZ 250GB SAS drives on JBOD controllers spread over 2 shelves and we outperform a similar sized NetApp setup by a good margin. > > Thanks for the comments Robert... > > > A lot depends on what you need to do with the data. > > At the moment, I'm just looking to see if anyone has tried anything similar. > I have a detailed set of requirements/results, but wanted to keep things > simple initially. > For now, let's just say there are two use cases: > > 1.

socket resource / vm.zone question?
Hey List- I just installed Bind9 from ports (9.2.3) and I'm running into, I'm guessing, a resource issue. i'm setting up a slave server for a master of about 770 zones. When I pull in all the zones for the init of the slave I start getting socket.c errors and 48/Address already in use and failed setting up socket. Checking the Bind9 list I found one guy who was having issues and thought it was a TCP_WAIT issue and he was running out of sockets. His solution was to lower the MSL.

freebsd bootloader / boot0cfg and multiple disks?
I'm trying to get the FreeBSD boot loader to to boot off multiple disks, but I can't seem to get it to see my 3rd disk. FreeBSD 8.2-PRE amd64; stock kernel with sound card, ahci and PF added disk layout: ada0: freebsd main install (/, /tmp, /var, /usr, /home, swap) ada1: freebsd data disk ada2: win7 with ada2s1 being the "boot" 100MB, ada2s2 and ada2s3 being partitions How can I get boot0cfg to try and boot the 3rd disk, ada2s1? I added the 3rd disk after already having the first 2 setup and installed. Normally, I install Windows first and boot0cfg picks it up fine, but not this time :) The man page shows how to install a boot MBR on a disk and to reference the slices, but I can't seem to see how to reference a 2nd or 3rd disk. The default install picks up the 2nd disk (FreeBSD data), but obviously can't boot from that. So, it does seem to be able to redirect to other disks. I tried doing a boot0cfg -Bv -s 1 ada2, but that seems to just install a MBR on ada2 and it never gets picked up on ada0 boot menu. grub isn't supported on amd64 and grub2 seems to be all "wizards" and secondary "config" files :( Henrik -- Henrik Hudson li...@rhavenn.net - "God, root, what is difference?"

Any of the i3 / i5 systems will be using Optimus, even if they don't state as much, and this is not supported under FreeBSD or Linux, neither proprietary or FOSS drivers. Some of the higher-end laptops (Lenovo) you can switch off optimus either in BIOS or a hardware switch, but a lot of those details are hidden behind marketing. It doesn't matter if it's ATI or Nvidia, they still route through the Intel HD stack. Some of the i7 machines don't do this, but they're also space heaters for the most part. Basically, the current state of laptop support for non-Windows is fubarred for probably 6 month to a year or more on the Intel side and finding AMD laptops that have working graphics drivers under FreeBSD is hard as well.

Re: Newbie question about apache
"Userland" startup scripts (ie: the ones created by the admin) go in: /usr/local/etc/rc.d Create a shell script, for this example: apache.sh and then chmod 755 it. Note: The files HAVE to be called something.sh and they HAVE to be chmod 755 otherwise they don't work. Note: Use the apachectl script to start and stop apache. Just had a thought.. I haven't used Apache 2 yet..so don't know if this will work..but I do the below for Apache 1.3 ... so it should be something similar In the file do something like this: START SCRIPT EXAMPLE #!/bin/sh #Script for starting and stapping apache #Grab our command mode=$1# start or stop case "$mode" in 'start') # Start daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl start ;; 'stop') #Stop daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl stop ;; *) # usage echo "usage: $0 start|stop" exit 1 ;; esac END SCRIPT EXAMPLE Hope that helps :) Henrik On Thursday 25 July 2002 03:27, Erik Mattsson wrote: > Hi > > I've just installed the apache2 from /usr/ports/www, and I want this to run > everytime when I reboot the machine.

You have them in the correct order as well, XP first and then BSD. You can use XP's installer to wipe the drive to, just make sure to set your size right and not use the whole drive, ie: 20GB like you said. I always do a "Custom" BSD install, so I don't know the steps in the other screens at all :) The only biggy is that when you are done setting up your partitions you want to pick install "Boot Manager" . BSD is pretty good at noticing other partitions and then upon a reboot you will get displayed a list of choices: F1 ??? for the first partition F2 FreeBSD to go into your BSD installation It will remember the last one you picked and set that to the "default".

samba problem; member server can't authenticate
Hey List- I tried the Samba lists...but didn't get any tips there..so possibly a freebsd issue? Dunno, anyways I have a Samba PDC and a Samba Member Server. The Samba PDC works fine, but the problem is that the Member Server can't authenticate users and let me browse file shares and i always get the error: NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS the wierd thing is that sometimes: SMBCLIENT -L ECWTEST will work and list my shares. However, the first time I actually try to authenticate a user to browse a share the whole shebang stops and I get the above error. I'm using Konqueror and smb://ecwtest/sharename to connect. I don't need to make any PAM changes to allow just file / share authentication do I? One thing, the member server is a new rebuild of a machine with the same name and the PDC is a upgrade using the TDBs, etc.. from backup. I did remove the machine account from the PDC and then re-added it using net join and that worked fine. I ran through the test at the back of the "offical book" and all of them work except the actual sharing and the nmblookup -d 2 '*' on the member server and of course the smbclient specific ones. wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work on the member server and i can chown files to users only in the PDC in the samba users file. I just can't authenticate. the only error I'm seeing is in log.wb-ECW and its: [2006/09/03 12:54:12, 1] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:cli_pipe_validate_current_pdu(625) cli_pipe_validate_current_pdu: RPC fault code DCERPC_FAULT_OP_RNG_ERROR received from remote machine ECWSERVER pipe \lsarpc fnum 0x70a8!

Hey List- running: 6.1-stable samba: 3.0.23b Question about the loopback interface for sambaI've got a dual-homed host and when I set this in my smb.cnf bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = em0 lo0 hosts deny = ALL hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/24 127. I get errors when running samab tests stating: querying ECW on 127.255.255.255 Sending a packet of len 50 to (127.255.255.255) on port 137 Packet send failed to 127.255.255.255(137) ERRNO=Can't assign requested address name_query failed to find name ECW#1d I do have PF filter running, but I don't see any blocks on the pf logs. When I'm actually trying to do anything with samba I just get "can't find login server" errors. When I modify this to: interfaces = em0 then most of my services work fine, but I can't use net commands, etc.. since they try and connect on the localhost. How can I fix this?

qt 3 install error
Afternoon List- I'm running 6.2-STABLE x86. The system was a fresh install of 6.2 that was upgraded to STABLE. The initial install of qt went fine a few months back, but now the upgrade is having issues. When I initially installed, I had (still have) X11BASE=/usr/local in my make.conf. I've tried both doing a portinstall and just plain old make install and make reinstall and neither works. It seems that it totally loses it's QMAKESPEC path. However, looking at the output of the actual compile, etc... it has the correct one figured out (freebsd-g++) and the path is correct. The mkspec directory does exist. I've tried pkg_deleting both qt and qmake. qmake installs fine, but the latest version of qt gives the following error when it actually tries to install the compiled package: cd plugins/src && make cd accessible && make -f Makefile cd codecs && make -f Makefile cd imageformats && make -f Makefile cd sqldrivers && make -f Makefile cd styles && make -f Makefile cd tools && make cd assistant/lib && make -f Makefile /usr/local/bin/qmake -spec -o Makefile lib.pro Could not find mkspecs for your QMAKESPEC after trying: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/mkspecs /usr/local/share/qt/mkspecs /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8 /usr/local/share/qt Error processing project file: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools/assistant/lib/Makefile Could not find mkspecs for your QMAKESPEC after trying: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/mkspecs /usr/local/share/qt/mkspecs /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8 /usr/local/share/qt Error processing project file: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools/assistant/lib/lib.pro *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools/assistant/lib. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33. *** Error code 1 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Converting Linux passwd to FreeBSD

FreeBSD and GRUB?
Hey List- I installed Grub from ports (cvsup'ed from tonight) and can't quite get her working. I am running 4.8rel. I copied in the various *stage file into /boot/grub . I created a grub.conf and sym-linked menu.lst to it and made everything 444. My grub.conf looks like this: default 0 timeout 5 splashimage=(hd0,2,a)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=FreeBSD root (hd0,2,a) kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader title=WinBlows_XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 I have run: tcsh# grub grub> root(hd0,2,a) grub> setup(hd0) grub> quit It says it installed fine, etc However when I reboot I just get dropped to the grub> prompt. So it's in the MBR. I can then manually type: grub> root (hd0,2,a) grub> kernel (hd0,2,a)/boot/loader grub> boot and it works all fine and dandy. However I would like the menu to come up :) Would the splashimage do that? In my experience, the Splash Image being screwed up just causes it to use it's default text layout. Thanks for any hints.

kernel panics and reboo
Morning List- For the last 5 days or so I've been getting pernel panics, almost like clockwork at 3:05am with one exception at 6L20am. The message showing up in the syslogs is: panic: pmap_enter: invalid page directory pdir=0x357063, va=0xffc0 The pdir and va addresses change. The one crash at 6am didn't have a syslog entry and had a different console message which I neglected to write down. I thought perhaps some faulty memory, but this isn't the case as I replaced it last night and had the same problem. Okay, so I thought cron job..but the only running is the daily job at 3:01 and newsyslog. The box has been up for about 3 months now without a hiccup. It's our SPAM / MAIL gateway and it doesn't always recover nicely. System info: FreeBSD 4.10 -REL intel Celeron chipset with 1 GB RAM Open ports: SSH (22), Postfix (25), Bind 9.2.3 (53) It doesn't seem like a hard drive going, but possibly the mobo?

I've only ever installed Windows guests. Is the FreeBSD host system freezing up or the Linux guest install? I've installed various versions since VirtualBox hit ports and I've never had an issue, so I've never tried to troubleshoot anything, so I wouldn't know where to point you specifically.

FreeBSD is developed and distributed using the BSD license. More information is available at www.freebsd.org If you're wondering whether or not FreeBSD is freely available and can be installed in a commerical environment then the short answer would be yes.

network card issue; constantly up / down
Hey List, I just re-installed FreeBSD 8-stable on my laptop and everytime I have network traffic, even something as innocuous as a ssh shell with a large section of scrolling text, the interface keeps flapping up and down.

what does "boot in safe mode" enable / disable?
I emailed a few days back, to -stable, about having issues running 8-STABLE in a Xen environment. I solved this, sort of. However, I didn't get any bites over there. I have a XEN HVM environment and it was given to me running 8-REL-p2 and it was working fine. I moved up to -STABLE and GENERIC wouldn't boot. After some fiddling, etc.. I tried booting it in "safe mode" and viola it boots fine. The system doesn't show any errors it just stops on "trying to mount disk: /dev/". Enabling "logging mode" doesn't show any difference between the stable kernel and the rel kernel when booting. So, I'm guessing there was some sort of regression, but I'm trying to isolate this. What does "booting in safe mode" enable / disable that would allow the system to boot successfully? Thanks. Henrik -- Henrik Hudson li...@rhavenn.net - "God, root, what is difference?"

intel atom mobo support; ASUS AT3GC ?
Hey List, I'm looking into running on of these: ASUS AT3GC http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=3129&l1=3&l2=192&l3=0&l4=0 Now it seems to differ from the stock intel Atom setup in that it's using a Realtek 8112 NIC and I can't seem to find any documentation showing support for that NIC. Anyone have any luck with that board or know if it will work? From some forum posts it seems to be similar to the 8111 series, but one never knows. I'm picking this board because of the heatsink / fan setup over the stock intel one. I'd be using either 7-STABLE or if I have to 8-CURRENT.

src.conf and cleaning up of base?
Hello List, I enabled a few WITHOUT_ options in src.conf. However, the binaries for that still exists after a installworld. Is there an automatic way to "clean up" the base install?

However, the timestamp is from the original install BETA2 build and not from my buildworld. For smaller items like NTP this is fine, but for stuff like WITHOUT_SENDMAIL or WITHOUT_LPR those binaries can get in the way of their replacements, ie: Postfix and CUPS.

Yes, you can setone up and you don't "need" the ISP nameservers since your DNS server will query down to the root level for you, but it is more polite to ask your ISP nameservers first for info. For starters, since you're running only 2 machines I would just use your ISP nameservers on both boxes and not run a DNS server locally. > Also, how > would this help me if the host configuration is done before a PPP > connection is established?

I prefer setting up something like: boxname.int.domain.com (int = internal) and yes, you can name them anything you like since you aren't broadcasting to the world and are in private space. The 2 machines should have different names however. Another issue, unless you are running an internal DNS server or add the info to the hosts file (yes, XP has a hosts file as well..just a well hidden one) you won't be able to actually use the names to get from one box to another.

Don't use the wizard :) Right-Click on "Network Neihborhood" and select "Properties" (or go through to Network via the Control Panel) and then click around in there. I don't use Windows and don't have access to an XP box at all, so I'm a little fuzzy. I would assign IPs manually at first.

driver problem or HD dying /dead?

kde konqueror and sftp links?

Multiple partitions still isn't a bad idea if you ever have to fsck and even on a desktop / laptop I usually mount /tmp as noexec. (note: installworld requires exec in /tmp, so you will have to remount /tmp if you use that). Also, it's easier to recover if you can boot single user mode and run a quick fsck on / when it's small. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's easier. One thing I didn't see is a /home. Is your /home under /usr or /? I have a 8-STABLE system with both kernel and kernel.old and they only take up 520MB or so. I normally make my / 2-4GB and then mount a separate /var (2-10GB depending), /tmp (2-10GB depending) and /usr (15-50gb depending) and /home (the rest) . A separate /home is very nice if you're rebuilding or re-installing you can just not format that partition and all your stuff will still be there. Of course, have backups as well :) Henrik -- Henrik Hudson li...@rhavenn.net - "God, root, what is difference?"
