Double buffered cp(1)

2000-04-21 Thread Kevin Day
Has anyone attempted to create a double buffered version of cp(1)? When copying from one disk to another, disk activity seems to ping-pong between the two, rather than keeping both active at the same time. If I were to fork and do something similar to afio, or maybe even doing something weird li

>What should I do when I see ALLMULTI? You should go promiscuous to multicast. If the card doesn't support that, you should go fully promiscuous and drop unicasts that aren't to you. (Make sure you don't block packets that bpf is going to want to see). Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [E

Help with SIOCADDMULTI, IFF_ALLMULTI and IFF_PROMISC

2000-04-21 Thread Duncan Barclay
Hi In my seemingly never ending quest to get a correctly functioning driver for the WebGear wireless LAN cards I need some advice on how to DTRT with multi-casts. The WebGear cards can be programmed with 16 multicast addresses, from these the NIC itself generates hashes. So what should I do whe

Linux RPC binary on FreeBSD?

2000-04-21 Thread Glenn Johnson
Is it possible to run a Linux binary that uses RPC under FreeBSD? I have such a program that is not working but before I go off on a wild goose chase I wanted to find out if there were any precedents. Are there any Linux RPC programs that run under FreeBSD? I am using FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE with the l

RFC: Patches for mounting fdesc on /dev/fd and general cleanup

2000-04-21 Thread Chris Costello
(Trying -hackers since -current wasn't very interested. Maybe someone might actually see it this time.) I've modified the fdesc file system so that it will be mounted on /dev/fd directly (rather than as a union mount on /dev) and have fixed a lot of items relating to missing data and incor

Just to followup and update, I am trying to get SmartFirmware (an implementation of IEEE-1275 Open Firmware) running on x86 with the GX chipset. (Please see www.openfirmware.org for info/links.) I abandoned the Intel L440GX+ motherboard due to similar problems that the LinuxBIOS folks had. Wel

Hi, We host a whole bunch of servers, all FreeBSD, and many of them run on intel GX motherboards, which have a feature called EMP. Basically, I didn't go to much detail into this, I got that it is a way to monitor/control the server through modem/null-modem client. But they provide their own
