Re: cname replace in mail address? [off-topic] (Re: Attn Ronald Klop)
Does the recipient MTA actually receive for both klop.yi.org *and* thuis.klop.ws? The recipient MTA will dereference the CNAME and rewrite the envelope for the reason that it can only relay to an RR that points to a real host. You might be able to fix it if you configure the mta on thuis.klop.ws to accept mail for the thuis.klop.ws domain in addition to klop.yi.org (which I assume is how you have it setup). In a situation like this if you have domain CNAME originaldomain then you better make sure that someone can send to either @domain AND @originaldomain otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Re: ISDN4BSD removal
Or have they been superceded by voip stacks that abstract away the isdn layer? I would contend, at least in the US, ISDN is alive and well. Your basic smb softpbx installation is going to be talking to a digium card that is connected to a Basic/Primary Rate ISDN (B/PRI) or T-line. If the OP is using I4B to do voice data processing, perhaps he would be better served migrating to either freeswitch and/or asterisk ports?

Yes, 7.0-R is pretty old in terms of re(4) work. I believe yongari@ is still working on this driver. 7.1 is close enough for patching with patches from http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/ Currently development is stifled because he has to basically guess the appropriate magic values for various PHY permutations in these 8111C/8168C gigabit cards everyone seems to be putting in their motherboards these days. -- === Peter C.

Possibly overstating the obvious, but since e2fsprogs were the ones who actually initiated the change in default inode size, maybe start digging through that to see what it actually does with the other 128 bytes (the changelog and some posts on comp.os.linux seem to suggest is that it has something to do with optimizing extended attributes/acls; basically extended acls being inaccessible to kernels that ignore the extra data, and 2.4 kernels refusing to mount those filesystems at all (presumably due to the same assumption we've been making)). -- =========== Peter C.

Re: Samsung SCX-4200 printer
What language does this printer use? I am a big fan of the minimalistic BSD LPD/R, so I usually just whip up an output filter that cats everything (since just about every app natively prints as postscript these days [besides gimp-app I guess]) to ghostscript. Works for basically any printer with PCL or PS support (actually, with some of the the elcheapo PS imitations out there, usually PCL5/XL works better). To me, CUPS/Foomatic comes with some fancy PPDs and filters, but I think a lot of that is bloated since it does similar things under the hood but wrapped in more layers of magic...

Mostly only because certain cards have issues w/shoddy JBOD implementation. Some cards (most notably ones like Adaptec 2610A which was rebranded by Dell as the "CERC SATA 1.5/6ch" back in the day) won't let you run the drives in passthrough mode and seem to all want to stick their grubby little RAID paws into your JBOD setup (i.e. the only way to have minimal participation from the "hardware" RAID is to set each disk as its own RAID-0/volume in the controller BIOS) which then cascades into issues with SMART, AHCI, "triple caching"/write reordering, etc on the FreeBSD side (the controller's own craptastic cache, ZFS vdev cache, vmm/app cache, oh my!).

Re: hardware for home use large storage
That's faster than just about anything I have at home. So you should be fine. It should be good enough to serve as primary media center storage even (for retrievals, anyway, probably a tad bit slow for live transcoding). Also does anybody know if benching dd if=/dev/zero onto a zfs volume that has compression turned on might affect what dd (which is getting what it knows from vfs/vmm) might report?

Everything is a repackage of some OEM these days (basically gone are the
days of Adaptec==LSI==mpt(4) and all). Find the actual chipset make and
model if you can, then you can look at what is supported, as the drivers
deal with the actual chipset and could care less about the brand of some
vertically-integrated fpga package.

Re: ZFS on root, serial console install

TBH, my serial console is a hardware redirect that BIOS provides so I actually just mdconfig'ed the ISO and exported that via NFS.

A C2Q will probably beat an i3 at the same clock speed but i5 750 has 8mb of unified cache and the turboboost feature. IMO a lot of the benchmark differences between an i5 and C2Q can be attributed to DDR3 and the onboard ram controller on the i5 reducing latency (which if one is to believe Herb Sutter, is the bane of all modern CPUs). -- === Peter C.

raidz/2 stripe widths
Which one might be "better" on pool that will consist of 6 disks: 6x raidz2 or 2 stripes of 3 disks in raidz? It should provide slightly less reliability (still allows for 2 disks to be off the array at a time) but the latter should improve reads since a given read only has to touch 3 spindles at a time instead of 5? -- ======= Peter C.

It's been a while but you need to find the actual revision not the one that pciconf prints out (I think if you select the verbose boot option it might print it in dmesg), then add that "real" revision code to /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h, rebuild the kernel and go from there...

With MySQL at least, you can (ab)use the replication facilities so that you can set up a "slave" and do the fs-level dump while the slave is in a "frozen" state - the last time I played with MySQL, you could basically desync your slave for a period of time (basically until transaction logs are purged on the master), during which the slave will be consistent; do the fs-level backup then kick the master to sync with the slave again. -- =========== Peter C.

Re: SCSI device not created upon a CF card plug in
GEOM should pick up the state change, but the bug may continue to exist because the CF reader is tagged as a storage device with invalid media when umass attaches to it on startup; there wasn't a really good way to actually enumerate the slice table upon insertion because the device does not send a disconnect/reconnect to the bus when you insert the card. At the time, the workaround was to tickle the device by attempting a mount against the whole disk, then the slice table will be enumerated. Example, CF card reader on boot will be picked up as /dev/da4 You insert card, no state change can be detected because the device doesn't get reset on the bus. mount /dev/da0 /mnt <-- will fail for obvious reasons, but now slices are enumerated mount /dev/da0s1f /mnt/mycfcard <-- ok On 2009-07-23 06:24:17PM +0300, Andriy Gapon wrote: > on 23/07/2009 17:14 Kevin Oberman said the following: > > If Linux detects media insertion instantly or Windows detects media > > insertion instantly (which I can confirm), there is some signal > > available, so looking at the Linux driver should provide a clue as to > > what to look for and that can be added to the FreeBSD umass driver.

Re: Signing Request
At the risk of sounding offtopic and political, as participants in IT and the open source community at large, aren't we supposed to hold ourselves to the "higher standard" and promote the use of encrypted email? If we're refusing to read signed messages because we have client-side problems with signatures (and are too lazy to fix them), how do we expect (or wish for) the rest of the world to do so?

building KLDs in RELENG_4
Is there a way to build kernel modules by themselves without having to build the entire kernel? I am adding umass support to a 4.x machine but I don't want to build the entire kernel. I already have scbus, but I need da and of course, umass. TIA, pete -- Peter C.

I think i'm just going to recompile the entire kernel anyway; I was just trying to not have to back-cvs /usr/src to patch the current one I have installed. (the more basic problem is i really should be keeping multiple versions of /usr/src around for different versions on different machines, but that is a separate problem). -- Peter C.

sandisk cruzer mini quirks [failure] on RELENG_4
I have a 512mb version of the SanDisk Cruzer Mini keychain drive.
ProductId = 0x5150 (VendorID=0x0781). I am unable to correctly get it to
stop crashing the system when using cp(1) to copy large files to it.
I patched /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/umass.c as:
if (UGETW(dd->idVendor) == USB_VENDOR_SANDISK &&
(UGETW(dd->idProduct) == 0x5150) {
sc->proto = UMASS_PROTO_SCSI | UMASS_PROTO_BBB;
sc->quirks |= IGNORE_RESIDUE;
}
which is the same quirks patch that USB_PRODUCT_SANDISK_SDCZ2_256 (the
cruzer mini 256mb) uses. However, this fails to rectify the problem.
Notably dd(1) transfers files fine. This is on a RELENG_4 system, cvsup
yesterday. Any ideas?
thanks,
pete

PPP routing failure
Hi everyone - I'm experiencing some funky routing failures when I dialup netscape internet via user-level PPP: I can negotiate IPCP fine; get a point-to-point link via tun0: myaddr: 172.143.224.146; hisaddr: 63.152.0.70 When the default route is setup to 63.152.0.70, all of my packets are blackholed after the first router hop. I am not using NAT. The PPP link works perfectly fine in windows dialup networking. So I dunno what is wrong. When I look at the routing table in windows, it seems backwards: DESTNM GW IF default 0 myaddr ppp hisaddr 0x myaddr ppp localhost 0xff00 localhost localhost myaddr 0x localhost localhost myaddr.255.255* 0x myaddr ppp multicast multicast myaddr ppp *this is the first 2 dotted quads of myaddr appended with 255.255 If I try to manually set these routes in 5.3-R, I still can't get out :( Setting ADD DEFAULT MYADDR doesn't work, because ppp will still think MYADDR is 0.0.0.0. Either I need sleep or something is funky here... -- Peter C.

Re: PPP routing failure [fixed]
Yes it was a sleep issue (and not the sleep(2) kind haha). *facepalm* Apparently the POP uses a 2 stage authentication process. First, you use unix/slip style authentication after which the POP then initiates CHAP. I had specified the inccorect password for CHAP but after the initial autentication the POP still assigned me an IP; albeit one that didn't talk to anything but the next hop and its nameserver. it's all good now!

Re: NIC card problems
Peter Jeremy wrote: >Real DEC Tulip cards do this when running Tru64 as well. My guess is that >it's a bug in the NIC. (And it looks like AMDtek have copied it). Peter, Warner, Stefan, et al.: I just found this thread on the mailing list, and am responding to it, a year later :) I also believe the problem is a bug in the NIC as well, since the ADMTek 985 appears to not listen to the "automagic buffer underrun recovery" command. Silby added some patches to mbuf allocation in 2003 after stress testing dc(4), which improves the situation somewhat (ability to sustain the traffic longer) but doesn't solve it. While my system doesn't reboot (panic), it will often hang as a result of this. What happens then is that when the interface tries to transmit, a "No buffer space available" error occurs. If one can access the console, it can be rescued by bringing the interface down and then up again using ifconfig(8). This will reset the card and presumably flush the buffers. I wonder if any work has been done on the driver in -CURRENT (and I am too lazy to look), but in the next few weeks the machine is getting overhauled from 4.11 to 6 (reformat/reinstall) so we shall see if it does anything. -- Peter C.

panic: CMAP busy returned?
For a long while now (since 4.4), I have experienced random reboots while compiling large things (such as world). I always attributed it to bad ram, but i just put a stick of brand new crucial in today, and decided to do some major i/o testing. It ran ok for a while, and then spontaneously rebooted. On my Fbsd 4.6.1-R-p7 box with 384mb ram, k62-400, via mvp3 chipset, I was compiling a kernel and mod-php4 at the same time. The kernel panic'd with a 'panic: (something): CMAP Busy' I didn't notice the panic until just when it was going to reboot, so I don't know what the (something) was. I looked at some mailng list archives and found a closed PR from 3.0-R regarding this. It is difficult for me to notice the panic(s) because I usually remotely admin the box; it just happened that I was doing this onsite and had access to the console. I don't know how to trace a kernel, but if someone would like more information, feel free to contact me about doing this; it would be nice to know if I should submit a PR at this point. Also please CC: me as I am not subscribed to -stable Thanks. pete -- Peter C.
