Best filesystem & options for large drive
I'm setting up an openBSD 5.6 box with a 4TB raid to back up a video editing cluster. I'll be using BackupPC which likes to have a single large volume so it can de-duplicate files using hard links. Thus the main volume will be all the 4TB. I know FFS2 can handle that size easily, but I'm worried about fsck taking forever. This machine will have 1.5GB RAM, from what I've read that's not enough memory to fsck a 4TB volume without painful swapping. Is there some filesystem-plus-options for recent OpenBSD that guarantees the disk will always be in a consistent state, even after a crash, so that fsck won't be necessary? (Yes I'll be testing out the RAID before deploying, would like to start with the right filesystem on it from the outset. And yes it will be on a UPS with graceful shutdown. I don't trust myself to get it all right, and bad things still happen...) -y

Elantech touchpad v3 - erratic movements
Hello,
I installed OpenBSD 5.6 (-release) on my laptop, Acer Aspire E1-572.
Everything works great as far as I can tell except for the touchpad.
Judging by the dmesg output it is an Elantech Touchpad, version 3 using
firmware 0x454f00. I didn't configure X. Using the touchpad results in
very erratic behaviour i.e. the mouse jumps around/lags.
The dmesg shows the message:
"pms0: not in sync yet, discard input (state N)"
N switching between 0 and 3 (see dmesg below). I tried looking for the
point of failure myself. The function issuing the "not in sync yet"
messages, void pmsinput(void *vsc, int data), is located at sys/dev/
pckbc/pms.c The only function in this source file calling pmsinput is
pmsattach. pmsattach is included in this struct:
struct cfattach pms_ca = {
sizeof(struct pms_softc), pmsprobe, pmsattach, NULL,
pmsactivate
};
I didn't come any further, nor am I sure if my assertions are really
true or helpful. I have no experience or expertise with kernel source
code.
Kind regards

And if you know in advance that the files will be large
("video editing"?) and there will not be many of them,
you might benefit from 'newfs -i' (and other options)
when creating the file system.
a thankyou to OpenBSD
I don't post much any more, my OpenBSD systems "just work". Just wanted to post a thank you to OpenBSD because it does "just work". My day job entails a lot of Linux support, lately I've been dealing with the big screwup associated with network interface naming. WHY can't Linux follow BSD's straightforward NIC naming? It's positively bizarre all the crappy little files and "utilities" they have come up with so you can munge NIC names to something more useful than "p3p2"!!!. In appreciation I just sent in a donation via the OpenBSD donation page. g.day fade to black diana Past hissy-fits are not a predictor of future hissy-fits. Nick Holland(06 Dec 2005)

less (only 137MB). this particular system has 12GB RAM but doesn't appear
to ever use much of it. the sd0 device is a 6TB RAID10 array (4x 3TB
drives) on an Areca ARC1110 PCI-X controller (in a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X
slot), partitioned with 1/3 of the space on sd0d and the remaining 2/3 on
sd0e. /dev/sd0d was mostly idle (although still mounted) while fsck was
running.

Audio probles like, slow response in applications that use audio and a little noise in the background
Hi, I'm new in OpenBSD (I'm loving it), I came from Linux. I installed the last (5.6) version, and I started to use, without doing any change in audio settings. The first thing I noticed while computing at night, is a little noise in the background, it is very low, but it exist and bothers me, its more like a television sound when it don't have signali, but very low. I checked if the problem wasn't the earphone, but It worked fine plugged in a windows notebook, and I was using it in Linux in this computer around 2 days ago, its also not eletric problem, because it don't sounds like one, my computer never had this and it don't stop if I put my hands on it. I installed cmus, copied some musics to my disk and started to listen. It plays normally, but when I click the arrows to advance in the music, I noticed it have a delay, and it lags if I click like 3 times to advance. And if click to close the application, the application close in the same time, but the audio stay playing for a while. The next thing is mplayer, It lag to advance the video (as cmus), but it don't stay playing when I click close. The last similar problem happens when I am playing a html5 video and I pause or it stops to load, the audio gets desynchronized. So I need to click in a part of the timeline to get it working again. All these errors happens on the console too. My keyboard normal keys have no lag in Xorg (I have lag problems in Caps/Num/Scroll Lock keys under X, but this is for another post). ** Now the hardware/software info: ** My motherboard is a ASUS Z87-K, the official site says it have an Realtek ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC *2 audio device.

More partitions!?
Been upgrading by install, and I'm finding I want another several partitions. I presently have, in addition to whole drive, swap, and root, /home, /tmp, /usr, /usr/X11R6, /usr/local, /usr/obj, /usr/ports, /usr/src, /usr/xenocara, /var, and /my/DOS. I want another for /usr/xobj, but I need to keep a few free for accessing other stuff on the boot drive (multiboot stuff). On my desktop with three drives, I will eventually put /home on a separate drive and free up one of the device partitions on the boot drive, but laptops aren't really amenable to that. And that only frees one more. I'm looking at the instructions for building from source (FAQ 15) and seeing what looks like environment variables that I could set to move the source tree down a level. If I could put /usr/src, /usr/ports, /usr/xenocara, /usr/obj, and /usr/xobj all under, say, /usr/bld, as /usr/bld/src, /usr/bld/ports, /usr/bld/obj, /usr/bld/xenocara, and /usr/bld/xobj, it would allow me to free up several device partitions while still keeping the build tree separate from the rest of /usr. It would also make allocating space and inodes for the build tree a bit more flexible. If I try this, how much pain am I going to be buying myself?
