JMicron jms561 umass on arm64?
G'day, folks, Is there, by chance, anyone out there who has a JMicron jms561-based USB3 'umass' kind of device up & running who can share experience or quirks, please? I'm trying to get mine [2] to work under FreeBSD [3] but it does not even show up with usbconfig list. While, with Raspbian, I was able to make it work easily. Thanks, Peter. --- [1] I believe, https://www.jmicron.com/file/download/1026/JMS561_Product+Brief.pdf [2] https://wiki.radxa.com/Dual_Quad_SATA_HAT[https://wiki.radxa.com/Dual_Quad_SATA_HAT] [3] Note: Later builds so far have not booted despite of current u-boot (March 2021) FreeBSD rpi4 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #1: Tue Feb 23 02:30:31 UTC 2021 root@rpi4:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64 ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Or at least not considered them in this statement -- think LAN/intranet in large corporate settings. ftp(1) as well as ftpd(8) are lightweight, and utilitarian. It's because of this that gives them such great value. They require nothing to use. They just work with no setup required. With very little setup you can manage something a little more sophisticated. I can easily script ftp for complex situations needing nothing more than sh(1) and ftp(1), and it's all available right-out-of-the-box. This isn't true of the others. In an internet public facing scenario. It's enough to utilize one specific line in inetd(8) and 2 in hosts.allow(2). This simplicity and lack of overhead is not available with the other options. Because something is old and un-featured does not make it valueless. I'm happy to make a port for it if anyone needs it. Comments? A port would be a nice option. But it should remain an option; as in one _should_ be allowed to get ftp || ftpd out of the box if they so choose. I've started working on splitting ftp and ftpd into an external git repo. The problem I've encountered is that though only ftp and ftpd are left the resultant repo is still 1.2 GB. If my last attempt fails, there is a choice between a 1.2 GB repo and burning ftp forever then the choice is clear: burn it forever. Adding the following as an option: Also note that the tnftp ports are the NetBSD ftp and ftpd. The FreeBSD ftp and ftpd are simply copies of tnftp and tnfpd. Would it make more sense to share our customizations with NetBSD and we simply reply on NetBSD for the client and server in our ports? This last option might be simpler than creating a port. Personally, I'd suggest we remove the ftpd server *AND* ftp client and rely on ports.

Let's simply remove all vestiges of FTP from the base system, including libfetch, sooner than later. We don't need it now that we have HTTPS and POST; and sftp. This assumes your willing to expend all the time and overhead to setup a web server for a simple but absolutely mandatory one time task. When none of the boxes you're working on are slated for or perhaps are even capable of running as much. I (or anyone) should be able to have a FULLY functional system WITHOUT the need to get additional sources to build additional functionality -- this ain't Linux.

I'm happy to make a port for it if anyone needs it. Comments? I'm strongly against remove of stock ftpd. FTP is fastest protocol for both testing and daily file transfer for trusted isolated segments, and even for WAN wrapped in IPSec. Our stock ftpd has very short backlog of security issues comparing with other FTP server implementations, mostly linked with libc or other libraries and not with ftpd code itself. Please don't fix what ain't broken. Please. How would you draw the line between something that must be part of the base system vs. something that would be better off as part of the ports tree? What bar should ftpd have to meet to warrant remaining in base vs moving to ports? Personally, I’ve never enabled it nor had any desire to. FTP is, at this point in time, thoroughly obsolescent, and I cannot imagine that it is something that most people enable, if they are even aware of its existence. Why can’t it simply be installed from the ports for the occasional user who still requires it? Why should the base system contain obsolete stuff that few people will use? Surely the ports tree serves this need better? Can I ask, for those who do enable it, why isn’t “sftp” acceptable (or “scp”)? Sure. Because it's part of a one-time task. It might be part of a server setup. Or might a task that must be done on thousands of machines. It needs to be available out-of-the-box, and needs no overhead for setup (key exchange, config, etc...). This scenario may also be on machines w/o any external sources/packages. IOW everything should be available out of the box, with little to no additional setup overhead. ftp(1), and ftpd(8) provide everything required at no additional cost. :-) Both provide a similar function, securely, which also works with a basic installation without any ports. SSHFXP, the protocol underlying sftp is better specified, less ambiguous and more fault tolerant and safe than the FTP protocol ever was. The client is better than most ftp clients, and the server (/usr/libexec/sftp-server) is started on demand on a per-connection basis. What makes FTP more desirable than a service over SSH which is (from a technical and usability point of view) a better FTP than FTP ever was?

A bit late to the party, but my take is: please just don't. I absolutely freaked out when Apple removed the telnet and ftp clients from Mac OS and I needed to reinstall them via MacPorts. That route uses an inferior (opinion) version of ftp(1) && ftpd(8). It might interest you to know that the FreeBSD versions that (currently) already come with FreeBSD can be copied over to your Mac. I *too* became upset when I found MacOS w/o these, and on a hunch tried it, and worked as intended/expected. The FreeBSD version(s) are more "featurefull" than those that originally came on the Mac, or the GNU one that is supplied w/MacPorts. People who manage any larger collection of networking gear *depend* on these outdated but simple services. Client and server side alike. TFTP is not going away, neither is FTP. I'm dead serious.

Uploads usage reports via FTP. This stuff is here to stay. In local networks, of course. But still even on "the Internet", FTP is the most used method for customers of static website hosting.

To amplify this a bit: Those who are all about secure protocols (and I'm one of them) should realize that public cryptography (not just public key, but public use of cryptographic protocols i general) is not a solved problem. In particular, multi-party key management in an open Internet is problematic. Open or plain text protocols do have a place.

stable/13, vm page counts do not add up

One relevant change is that vm_page_wire() no longer removes pages from LRU queues, so the count of pages in the queues can include wired pages. If the page daemon runs, it will dequeue any wired pages that are encountered. This was done to reduce queue lock contention, operations like sendfile() which transiently wire pages would otherwise trigger two queue operations per page. Now that queue operations are batched this might not be as important. We could perhaps add a new flavour of vm_page_wire() which is not lazy and would be suited for e.g., the buffer cache. What is the primary source of wired pages in this case? ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The kernel allocates wired pages without adjusting the v_wire_count counter in some cases, but the ones I know about happen at boot and should not account for such a large disparity.
