I am getting into confusion world what you want do ;-) What do you mean "start on demand, and not hungup if in use" and "active connection"? If you mean "Just dial and make a connection whenever packet sending to peer and then never disconnect unless you did disconnect manually", the only way is using -auto(dial on demand) with "set timeout 0 0". In general case, they prefer to disconnect peer by any/paticular packet is NOT sending/receiving to peer period time with setting up various function filters.. > -- > Virtually, > Edward Wolpert Atsushi. -- Atsushi Murai Internet: amurai@spec.co.jp System Planning and Engineering Co,.Ltd.

How can I change the I/O @ of /dev/mcd0? 2) I was able to get most of the system by putting a DOS (Yecch!) partition on the disk & copying the distributions to it, but I can't create a directory called xfree86-3.1 due to the filename length res- trictions of DOS. Is there any hope of ever getting X on my system? Anyway, the directory name on the CD is XFREE86_, but the install routine looks for the other name. 3) Once I have gotten some of the system loaded, how can I install additional packages without going through the install procedure which newfs's every- thing? Sysinstall didn't seem to want to let me do this either.

What I'm looking for as not disconnect with an active ip session going. Currently, it will disconnect after the timeout is up, even if you are still connected to a remote host. It would be better if the ppp program didn't disconnect if there was an active session. By active, I mean any remote connection. My unix box gets news at 2:00am, when I'm asleep. I would like the ppp session to close 2 minutes after the news gethering is done, so I would want to set the timeout to 120. However, it I do this, it will cut out my newsfeed after two minutes, since no 'new' remote connections occurr from the startup time of the news connection.

I know this is some kind of permissions problem, but since I installed with pkg_add all permissions *should* have been set correctly (yeah right). Both the permissions on the Tk shell and lib dir are all set correctly. Ive tried tried to "find" any new file that is created while running these scripts as root, but I didnt find any. So what should I do? Thanks, Serge.

It has been a few weeks so if you see something different than what I describe, proceed with caution. :) In fdisk, pick both disks but obviously do not create a partition on the DOS disk. Then in disk-label, divy up wd1 however you want and give wd0 a /dos mount point, or whatever you want to name it. When you then select "install from a DOS partition" the system will know about your DOS drive and automatically look for \freebsd\* on it. You should have the files untarred in c:\freebsd\bin, c:\freebsd\manpages, etc ... If you assign a mount point for your DOS partition, the install program will automatically edit fstab for you and when you reboot, viola, it will be mounted. If you want to install packages during the initial install you will have to shift over to the alt-f4 shell and manually mount the DOS partition. Install mounts the DOS partition while adding distributions but unmounts it when it finishes. Also, even though you installed from a DOS partition, when first trying to get to the package menu install will complain about not finding CDROM. Proceed anyway and you can eventually get to a packages menu. Or, you could reboot and add packages later by running /stand/sysinstall or using pkg_add. > I really like the new install program over the one in 1.x, but I was a > bit confused when looking at the Label section.

After the BSD installation successfully concludes, the #2 partition on the C: drive (where BSD is #3) reports numerous and unrecoverable scrambled files under SCANDISK, most often after Windows NT has "written a harmless disk label on logical drive 0. BSD then reports unrecoverable file errors ("run fsck manually") on the wd0s1e (/usr) partition. It is a nasty see-saw I have yet to figure out a fix for, but to date have reinstalled bsd and dos (and restored data from tape) approximately five times. I have ruled out caching switch in the hdc bios, since it has the same anti-social behavior with caching on and off. I have also ruled out the OS/2 boot manager, which I use to access OS/2 on the second drive (where I intend to install bsd next as an experiment). Can any one out there help? Thanks.

There is a problem with certain BIOS'es - they report wrong amount to memory to OSes. I've seen it with few different brands of PCs. There is also #define LAGRMEM , which you probably have to define to allow kernel to work with > 64M of RAM. What I usually do is : I've changed the macdep.c source code : substituted the BIOS call which asks the PC about RAM installed via something like: biosextmem = 128000; and #define LARGEMEM in kernel config file. Works fine for me. If there is a limit on amount of RAM one can put into computer, it's certainly somewhere _above 128 Mb > > Is there a default 64 meg limit?

If it is, my most sincere apologies. (The reason I'm asking here is that I seem to recall some questions regarding 3com controllers a few weeks ago on this mailing list). Anyways, here's my problem: I just got my hands on an old 3com Etherlink II/16 card. I'm having difficulty getting FreeBSD (snap 950210) to recognize it. The problem stems from the fact that I'm not sure how to set the IRQ on this adapter (the card did not come with any drivers or documentation). The card itself has jumpers for IObase and Boot Rom base however no jumper for IRQ. I assumed the card would have some EEPROM that would be set via some driver software run under DOS. I ftp'd some driver software from 3com (the 3c503x.exe SFX etherdisk) and have run the diagnostic program that reports all is well. However, I can't seem to find a program to set the IRQ. So, my question to other users of this card: How do you set the IRQ on this card. Am I wrong in assuming this card has EEPROM on board? (ie, is the IRQ set by loading some device driver). Do I need some other program to set the IRQ? (other than the programs supplied in 3c503x.exe) Thanks! -- David Kwan Email: davidk@ee.ubc.ca Graduate Studies (M.A.Sc Program) Electrical Engineering The University of British Columbia Vancouver B.C.

Ok, terminology; it may also help you to understand the issue. There's no such thing as an "ip session". IP is a one-off datagram protocol. What you probably want is for the link not to drop while you have a TCP connection open on a remote system.

FreeBSD gets the memory size from the 16bit K-bytes field in the BIOS RTC memory. Since this is 16bits large, the maximum that it can represent is 65535K bytes (64MB). The only way to get FreeBSD to see more memory at the moment is to add: options "MAXMEM=131072" (or whatever K-bytes you have) ...to your kernel config file. In the future FreeBSD will get the information in a different way (using special BIOS calls at boot time), but there isn't sufficient space in the boot blocks to do this and thus it first requires a 3 stage boot. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Jul 10 19:05:40 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id TAA00416 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 10 Jul 1995 19:05:40 -0700 Received: from saber.mute.com (c6.ptw.com [204.178.60.38]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA00406 for ; Mon, 10 Jul 1995 19:05:24 -0700 Received: (from duane@localhost) by saber.mute.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id SAA00212; Mon, 10 Jul 1995 18:57:13 -0700 Date: Mon, 10 Jul 1995 18:57:12 -0700 (PDT) From: "Duane R.

I have a few pointers/questions. First - I am new to FreeBSD install, actually this is the first time I have done it all on my own. 1st - concern: I did not make a / partition on my hdd, I only made /swap and /usr. I was so eager to do the install that I did no prior intense study of the process. 1st - concern resolved - after a complete install I started anew and made three partitions: / <--- 30 Megs /swap <--- 32 Megs /usr <--- rest of the 1 Gig drive I also set my hdd to normal in bios and not lba. 2nd - concern: After the install (no problems), doing a complete install of the available packages turned out to be a concern. The process hangs many times - I have a list compiled of all the hangs. The hangs are errors that other packages need to be installed first and a couple of errors that emacs and xemacs are too big for the available space. 2nd - concern remedy - when the machine first appeared to hang I left there for a day (really I had to go to work) after coming back from work I did not want to reboot and discard all - so I hit the enter key. After hitting the enter key a couple of times an error message came up - I hit the enter key on that as well and continued till the end. 3rd - concern: Upon booting up it would no longer mount my SonyCDU33A, so I put the boot disk in, got a command prompt and commented out my CDROM in the /etc/fstab - and continued. 4th - concern: Upon a successful bootup I entered startx to find twm had been executed. Again I changed a startup file to take care of that. I would like to get some feedback from some experienced guys on this. My recollection is just that my recollection - If anyone has any questions on the exact steps I took - reply - I did keep notes (i.e. I know just which packages give the appearant hangs).

In /etc/host.conf try commenting out bind, reboot, and then, re-initate the commands to connect the two machines.

I had to modify our majordomo to cause sendmail to just queue the mail instead of attempting to deliver it right away. There is a sendmail switch you can put in the aliases file entry "-odq". If there is a lot of this activity, and a lot of web stuff you may want to do the following things to your system: 1. Make sure you have enough swap space configured. I use 128mb on my main server. 2. In your kernel config file: maxusers 256 options "CHILD_MAX=128" options "OPEN_MAX=128" options "NMBCLUSTERS=512" Good luck!

There is read-only NTFS support from a German site already. You will have to check the hackers list archive on www.freebsd.org for details. >From an architectural standpoint, NTFS has a number of serious drawbacks. It also has some serious issues of feature inaccessability given a POSIX API for access. The use of Unicode for internal storage is a good thing. The fact that FreeBSD (and UNIX in general) uses NULL termination instead of byte count prefixing for puching strings across the user/kernel boundry is a problem. The support for DOS file names and the inability to use a name space switch mechanism in UNIX is a problem. The inability to access the resource/extended attribute mechanism with a change to several system call interfaces is a proble. The volume spanning is crude, and the way it is done effectively halves the MTBF for your disk array; RAID would have been a better choice. In general, NTFS has a number of good ideas that people in FS research (like me) have known about for years, but it lacks from an implementation standpoint some of the necessary add-ons to support these features and is not a good design for a general purpose UNIX file system. Probably it will have to be supported (there is a read-only HPFS as well) for reasons of compatability and dual install (probably why you asked about it in the first place), but it's not much of a win for a UNIX environment in general.

The installation of unix was fine and seems to work fine, however the WEB software is having problems compiling. I am using the fines WWWLibrary_3.0.tar, WWWDaemon and WWWLineMode. There are no makes for FreeBSD so I tried the BSD386 switch. This allowd the 3.0 Library to install perfectly. The Daemon however is not installing very well at all. Many errors on compile.

This is strange, maybe. I created a boot and a root floppy under unix like so: jan:/dos/freebsd/floppies % dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 obs=18k jan:/dos/freebsd/floppies % dd if=root.flp of=/dev/fd0 obs=18k Boot using the boot floppy. If it asks, insert the root floppy. If you have assigned a /dos mount point for your dos partition and have untar'd the files in their /dos/freebsd sub directories it should find everything else. It has worked for me many dozens of times. If you need more help, you can mail me, no problem. -- Jan Isley If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some! -- Hobbes From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jul 11 21:16:02 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id VAA19209 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 11 Jul 1995 21:16:02 -0700 Received: from Starbase.NeoSoft.COM (root@starbase.NeoSoft.COM [198.64.6.26]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA19203 for ; Tue, 11 Jul 1995 21:16:00 -0700 Received: from scooter-ppp-ae.NeoSoft.com (scooter-ppp-ae.NeoSoft.com [198.65.165.158]) by Starbase.NeoSoft.COM (8.6.10/8.6.10) with SMTP id XAA05990; Tue, 11 Jul 1995 23:15:55 -0500 Message-Id: <199507120415.XAA05990@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM> X-Provider: NeoSoft, Inc.: Internet Service Provider (713) 968-5800 X-Sender: rberndt@popmail.neosoft.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 2.1.1b5 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 11 Jul 1995 23:17:45 -0500 To: Kristyn Fayette , freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com (FreeBSD Questions) From: Randy Berndt Subject: Re: Still can't install from DOS Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk When you put the .flp and bin.* files in C:\Freebsd, did you put the .flp in a subdirectory FLOPPIES and bin.* in a subdirectory BIN?

If there is a way, can you show me the light? If you have a good Internet connection you can install directly from freebsd.cdrom.com. Get the boot.flp from /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-950622-SNAP (or RELEASE, whatever you like, but I recommend ..SNAP), dd it to disk (or use rawrite.exe under DOS), insert that boot floppy and from then on you can install the whole shebang over network. > > Thanks > /.steven > > --Chris Christoph P.

It is now almost midnight here in New York, and after many, many hours I have finally got the system working (but not configured.) I rebuilt my kernel with the necessary modifications for my system, and now it boots in normal, mulit-user mode. Now, I need to configure it. When I installed BSD in the first place, I was given a configuration option in the menuing system. I would like to go back and use it to configure X, add users, etc. However, I don't seem to be able to do so. (1) If I boot off a floppy (the boot-install floppy), I can access the CD ROM Install program with all of the configuration options -- but when I click on any of them, nothing happens -- it just puts me right back in the same menu. (Apparently it does not find the FreeBSD system it is supposed to manipulate.) (2) When I boot off my system (hard drive), I cannot find the install/configure utility, and therefore cannot run it... Do you know the filename of the configuration/install utility? Or how I can run it off a system already running Free BSD.

They run NIS+ to handle user accounting and home directories. I know FreeBSD has NIS support -- odes it support NIS+, and how would I go about configuring my system as a client? I read the yp/ypbind manpages and enabled ypbind in /etc/sysconfig -- I don't know what other changes to make though (eg., the group/passwd changes.) One of the systems is a Compaq 466/33 (486/33 for the un-compaq-literate) containing 40 megs of RAM. FreeBSD only sees the first 16 megs of RAM though. BOUNCE_BUFFERS are enabled in the kernel per the suggestion of the comments in LINT. Thoughts would be welcome (DOS recognizes and uses it fine. The system runs an EISA bus.) Another question,actually. I went through the FreeBSD installation on the firstsystem, and it didn't write the boot code (this has happened to me a few times wheile installing FreeBSD on IDE systems -- it just doesn't write thebootcode.) I did some playing, and I know that the root partition is fine, and bteasy is fine -- bteasy shows the 386bsd? prompt for the bootup, but then it just loops there when f1 is hit. I tried using disklabel to relable the disk as follows: cd /usr/mdec;disklabel -B -b wdboot -s bootwd wd0 and got the following messages: Warning, revolution/minute 0 super block size 0 and then back at the prompt again. If I stick a boot floppy (eg.,the installation disk) in the drive and enter wd(0,a)/kernel it will boot off of the HD fine.So I guess the boot loader didn't get installed?Advice would be appreciated.

There is a minor/misleading comment in the help for the "Floppy" Distribution option: it says to write the binary files into a directory \bin on the diskettes (this is fine)... then it says to write the checksums and the checksummer onto the last diskette... I couldn't find the checksums (of course), and since I was having other problems, I thought this was it... so I suggest editing the help. Also, it appears that the mistake I was making in Fdisk (when wanting to use the whole disk for FreeBSD) was, in addition to using "A", I was also saying to make it "bootable"... this was causing the following grief much later: on loading the ROOT floppy, the message "can't find kernel.GENERIC" occurred, followed by an endless loop looking for it (I think).

Much has been made of how the Linux FS is cavalier about its metadata and such, but why isn't the real question start and endpoint. If I am running FreeBSD and I mount a Linux FS in Good Shape (TM) and I fiddle with it and write to it and when I unmount it, I leave it in Good Shape (TM), who cares how I do it in the middle. So it is not as fast! Perhaps it is more robust. What am I missing?

Totally aside from the fact that POSIX compliance require a very specific set of file system events that *MUST* occur and another set of very specific events the *MAY* occur and a final set of events that *MUST NOT* occur, there's the issue of fragility. In a non-graceful shutdown, the Linux file system is more fragile than the Berkeley FFS. Specifically, directory operation in progress in an indeterminate state can be broken. Some of this brokenness is hidden by the log-structuring of the file system implementation; it's one of the reasons that I dislike many aspects of POSIX with regard to file systems: there are very rigid implementation requirements... not a lot of thought went into the concept of advanced file systems when they wrote the thing. In general, file system events can be seperated into idempotent and non-idempotent events. For consistency purposes, another seperation of events into transactions based on time-based atomicity is necessary. For instance, many of the operational requirements in POSIX (and in NFS server caching constraints) are the result of attempts to guarantee atomicity of directory entry manipulation requests as opposed to file metadata operations as opposed to file data operations. One thing that people often don't think about is that data and metadata are file attributes, while a file's name is *not* an atribute of the file itself (the NetWare file system, for instance, keeps the file name *as* an attribute of the file). I would be just as happy with some kind of implementation that seperated meta-data storage into file system event realted data and file attribute data. Where Linux falls down in the EXT2FS (which is actually quite good for a second rev of entirely from scratch code) is in the coupling of file system events that are by their nature compsed of several transactions, the sequence of which should result in atomic updates of metadata for reliability (if you, for instance, update the block allocation bitmap but fail to update a file's disk block list in it's inode, you can spend a long time looking for which blocks are free if you crash right at that time. Or if you write a block of data and write the block list in the inode metadata, but fail to update the disk with the metadata before you update the data block itself, the file is in an inconsistent (and potentially unrecoverable) state. Starting from scratch once again, I'd probably pre-define all of my file system events and actually make the file system event procesing; this would allow you to hook callbacks, for instance, directory content change notification, to the events. Consider most GUI browsers must currently stat the directories they present to the user at given (short) intervals to maintain an accurate representation of the contents. If you are running an Appletalk file server, the Macingtosh clients poll requesting volume modification date information at 11 second intervals; since no such per-filesystem information is kept, and the events related to volume changes can't be trapped, the UNIX system must lie to the Macintosh client and say that the volume has changed (and thus every 11 seconds, every Mac client on your network iterates every directory for which a window is open on the Finder desktop). Anyway, suffice it to say that yes, Linux is cavalier, no, they aren't POSIX compliant, no, that doesn't matter much, yes, the lack of synchronus updates for some file system events is not covered by the saving grace of being log structures, while some are covered by it. BTW: How many of you knew that an MSDOS file system that was mounted read-only can be made POSIX compliant if implemented correctly, but one mounted read-write can never be POSIX compliant? 8-).

Go into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and edit XF86Config (make sure you don't have a copy of this file in /etc, the X system will look for it in there first, and ignore any changes you make to the copy in /usr/X11...). Your looking for the "Modeline" entry for whichever resolution your using. You need to tweak a couple of parameters to shift the picture back into place. The process is documented in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/VideoModes.doc, so I won't duplicate it here. The second sounds like bits of your window system (the window manager specifically) aren't starting up properly. Try doing startx >& /tmp/startx.error which will redirect any error messages to the file /tmp/startx.error, which you can then inspect and try and spot some likely candidates for problems. Rather than turning your machine off if X hangs, try doing , which should kill the X server and return you to the prompt.

If anyone has a clearer idea of how to upgrade, I'd be glad to try and organize it for the next RELNOTES or the FAQ. I recently upgraded from a very nice, and very full, 2.0R to 2.0.5R. Fearful of an "install" script which might just possibly decide to mkfs all over my existing files, I decided to do it all manually: - Save /etc config files elsewhere # For reference after untarring # shutdown now # Move to single user shell # chflags noschg /kernel # Make kernel move possible # mv /kernel /kernel2.0R # Save in case of disaster # mv /sbin/init /sbin/init-2.0 # Avoid text-busy error in tar # cd / # Stand at point zero # cat /wherever/bin.*|tar zxvfp - # Explode the tarfile # mv /kernel.GENERIC /kernel # Give it the conventional name - Compare/reconcile saved /etc files I was smart enough to know I had to rename init. But I was dumb enough to forget I should have renamed tar, gzip, tcsh, and who knows what else. So I've upgraded them since. I was fairly lucky. Exploding the bin distribution in single user mode seemed to work, but of course I don't know what old executables and /dev entries should be deleted or which configuration files (e.g. /etc/fstab) rewritten. So I may be wasting some space with obsolete stuff. The old XFree86-3.1 executes just fine with 2.0.5R, and so do almost all the other common utilities not in the bin dist. The big anxiety, which held me off for several days, was the disklabel, which appeared to have been trashed. The c and d partitions didn't exist any more, and in fact are missing. All the others have been re-based with offsets from the start of the slice, rather than at the beginning of the disk. Even the total cylinder count in the disklabel is for the slice only! There's a new /dev/wd0s1, for Slice 1, which you must name to mount /dos. I don't know if there are any obsolete /dev entries. Please, if I have summarized all the important points, let me know. And fill me in on what's missing. I'll try to recompose the above as a series of checklist items for anyone who would like to upgrade manually.

I have a Gateway 4DX2-66V with a ATI Graphics Ultra Pro and CrystalScan 1572FS, and a Logitech MouseMan Cordless. I get through xf86config without any problems, but when I startx, the horizontial movement of the pointer is a mess. It seems to like only four places on the screen, the extreme left hand side, about one quarter of the way across, half way across and three quarters of the way across. As I move the mouse, the pointer will move slightly and then bounce back to the position it was in, until it jumps to the next position. I tried it with SVGA, and the mouse moves ok, but the desktop doesn't scroll and it doesn't change size. Anyone have any thoughts on what I need to change to get things working???

When I boot the PC, there is a message telling me that my floppy disk drive is not correctly configured. So I change the System Setup, but that solves nothing (I think that actually, the settings are correct). I have installed the bindinst files, and the man pages, and now, when I try to install other things (using the bininst program), the program refuses to read the floppy. I also did lsdev, and Unix told me that fd0 was my floppy disk drive. So I put the boot floppy into the drive, and did: disklabel -r fd0 It answered: fd0c:hard error reading fsbn0 of 0-15 STO40 ST1 ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1 disklabel : /dev/rfdc0: Input/output error Now I don't know what else I can do.

In the ifnet structure, there are fields - if_lower, if_upper etc which allow the use of upcall and downcall to access the next higher or lower module directly in the kernel. I wonder if there exists a patch for iflayer functionality in the BSD 2.x release. In addition, what happen to the arptab which is no longer a symbol in the /dev/kmem and nlist ? What is the equivalent of arptab ? Is there a snmp agent for the BSD 2.x release ? I have developed a snmp agent for the BSD2.0 without the ARP mib which uses the arptab or equivalent information. Any information for arptab will be very helpful. I have seen some comment (grep arptab *) in the BSD2.0 kernel making refernece to arptab but there is no arptab in the code itself. Please email me directly. Thank you for your help.

The set up is as follows: I have a Windows LAN running TCPIP connected to the FreeBSD box. The BSD system is used to make a PPP link to the internet provider and route packets between the LAN and the internet. The problem I have is that the unix box seems to only be sending the packets out but not receiving anything back. I have compiled the kernel with the options GATEWAY line but it still doesn't seem to work. I use iij-ppp to establish the PPP link. Any suggestions for configuring this would be greatly appreciated. thanks ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! ========================================================================= From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 14 08:04:52 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id IAA12902 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 08:04:52 -0700 Received: from kksys.skypoint.net (kksys.skypoint.net [199.86.32.5]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id IAA12894 for ; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 08:04:49 -0700 Received: from starfire.mn.org by kksys.skypoint.net with smtp (Smail3.1.29.1 #2) id m0sWlUX-0002x3C; Fri, 14 Jul 95 09:13 CDT Received: (from john@localhost) by starfire.mn.org (8.6.8/1.2.1) id JAA21625 for questions@FreeBSD.org; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 09:21:02 -0500 From: John Lind Message-Id: <199507141421.JAA21625@starfire.mn.org> Subject: CD/FTP 2.0.5R installation To: questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD questions) Date: Fri, 14 Jul 1995 09:21:00 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1801 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just my FreeBSD 2.0.5R CDs yesterday, and I am trying to install it onto a secondary system using FTP from my FreeBSD 1.1 system. The rational is that I cam going to get it up and running on the secondary system, recompile and handle any porting issues there, then do the install directoy from the CD on the main system (currently running FreeBSD 1.1) as quickly and with as little down time as possible. (This secondary system was running a SNAP just prior to the CD release before clearing it for this attempt.) That's the theory, but I am getting all kinds of grief. Things seemed fine, but extracting into the /bin directory has generated all sorts of errors on vt1 and now seems to have stalled completely. The error messages I am getting on the installing sytem run like this: ... /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped 1069056 bytes of junk /stand/cpio: cannot remove current: Is a directory ... On the FreeBSD 1.1 system (providing the FTP service from the CD), I am getting one line like this, seemingly for every file: ... isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6db4 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6e2a isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d36a0 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d3716 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d378c ... I also got a couple of these: isofs: name 'Jul 14 06:51:00 dexter su: john to root on /dev/ttyp3 isofs: name 'isofs: name 'isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6ed8 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6d70 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf085597c isofs: name 'isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09b2214 I suspect the solution is going to be to bite the bullet, yank the CD from the main system, and do a direct install, but if there is a way involving less hardware swapping, I'd sure like to hear it!

It sounds to me like your ISP isn't configured to route data back to the BSD box. I have setup a FreeBSD machine with iij-ppp as a gateway box fine in the past, and Jordan is still using that box now :-) I would check with your ISP that the subnet address you are using for your Windows boxes is routed through the BSD box to you.

I'm trying to install 2.0.5R on a 486 with a 3COM 3C509. I tried booting with the -c option and probing the card, the probe identified the 3C509 at address 300 and returned 0x10 (which is the IRQ the card is configured at). However, after quiting the card does not show up in the media menu, so I can't complete the install. I also tried disabling everything at address 300 with the same result. If I boot normally, the card shows up in the media menu, but I get a message saying "unable to configure the ep0 interface" when I try to install. I was unable to read the results of the probe on a normal boot, as the screen clears too fast. It seems unusal that there would be different behaviours when I boot with and without -c, even though I haven't modified anything...

I saw lots of stuff in the docs about systems with cool, wierd stuff that makes it hard to setup and run bsd.. but this is the least imaginative system i can think of. i couldnt find much help in the docs about systems that suck so bad it makes it hard to setup! :) thanks in advance.. -allen From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jul 14 13:50:42 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id NAA26221 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 13:50:42 -0700 Received: from denali.ds.cubic.com (denali.ds.cubic.com [149.63.65.21]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA26210 ; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 13:50:34 -0700 Received: from jrtc169.ds.cubic.com (jrtc169.ds.cubic.COM [149.63.134.169]) by denali.ds.cubic.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id NAA22378; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 13:51:27 -0700 Received: from jrtc134. by jrtc169.ds.cubic.com (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA12369; Fri, 14 Jul 1995 13:48:41 -0700 Received: by jrtc134.

I have partitioned my disk, 250MB for DOS, 500MB for BSD (which I split into 300MB for / and 200 MB for /usr, and another 64MB for swap.

I have made a boot floppy AND a root.flp using rawrite.exe. I proceed with the installation by rebooting my system with the boot floppy in drive a. I go through the installation, and request boot from DOS Hardrive. The installation cannot find the root, and asks for a floppy with root. I insert my root floppy,and then it asks for the bin/aa. It seems that it cannot find the stuff I have put on my hard drive. How do I remedy this situation? Am I doing everything incorrectly?

I've been following this with interest as I wrote the 1742 driver abd the rest of the scsi system. I really don't think that we have a generic bug in that code that is producing your problem, because it's running (and has been for years) on too many other systems. However I'm quite willing to believe that we have a problem that is only visible on hardware that has certain characteristics. You mention that BSDI can run it successfully but that FreeBSD can't. This may still be a problem with your drives. FreeBSD does quite a lot that BSDI doen't do. FOR EXAMPLE.. FreeBSD will merge filesystem IO operations that are to adjacent blocks.. (clustered IO). This results occasionally in IO operations of a much larger size than BSDI will ever make to the disk. FreeBSD will also allow several outstanding commands at a time to be sent to the adapter. Some adapters will attempt to negotiate with the drive to see if it's allowable to send those commands to the drive as a set of chained commands. It's possible that your drives don't like this very much but pretend that they do.. BSDI can't do this either.. (last time I looked). We can possibly turn these features off if you think that might help you.. (I know how to turn off the multiple operations but you'll have to ask DG or someone abut the clusterring..) > > > The drives on these machines are (1) less than two months old, (2) have > current firmware, and (3) don't have ANY problems with BSDI. > > If FreeBSD is going to be a production platform then it is going to have to > start behaving like one.

Does it mean we need to cripple our code every time a drive vendor makes a mistake?, pretty soon we'd have no functionallity left above that of DOS, as that's always tested:) having said that, we do that with the SCSI TAPE drives, where we know about 'rogue' devices and cripple ourselves selectively.. I hope to move this code over to the scsi system as a general thing.. The NCR guys have already made a start on this but it needs more work. > > If you have a problem with a device, you *report it*.

I think you can install the FreeBSD bootmanager with no harm to get back to your FreeBSD partition. You may instead install a different boot manager (osbs2beta) . msdos.sys is (afaik) a secondary boot file that resides in the DOS (Win95) partition and has nothing to do with FreeBSD boot. > > trapped in windows, > justin > --Chris Christoph P.

I've never done this, but I think it'd work. -- Jack Handey From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Jul 15 16:05:28 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) id QAA23193 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 15 Jul 1995 16:05:28 -0700 Received: from disperse.demon.co.uk (disperse.demon.co.uk [158.152.1.77]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.10/8.6.6) with SMTP id QAA23162 for ; Sat, 15 Jul 1995 16:05:19 -0700 Received: from post.demon.co.uk by disperse.demon.co.uk id aa12853; 16 Jul 95 0:05 +0100 Received: from bagpuss.demon.co.uk by post.demon.co.uk id aa12587; 16 Jul 95 0:05 +0100 Received: (karl@localhost) by bagpuss.demon.co.uk (3.1/3.1) id PAA15005; Sat, 15 Jul 1995 15:37:02 +0100 From: Karl Strickland Message-Id: <199507151437.PAA15005@bagpuss.demon.co.uk> Subject: Re: Sendmail - CCMAIL Problem To: David Schnardthorst Date: Sat, 15 Jul 1995 15:37:01 +0100 (BST) Cc: questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199507131404.JAA25169@strydr.strydr.com> from "David Schnardthorst" at Jul 13, 95 09:04:01 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 959 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > > I am having a problem using FreeBSD as a CCMail Gateway.

The machine's local net is thinnet, and has several Suns in the immediate lab. From there, our net connects to a Cisco 7000 that connects us to the outside world. The machine's network performace is fine to/from the suns. Its pings to the cisco are also good. Pings to other machines are a different story, though. With small packet sizes (56 bytes, and such) they're fine. But with larger packets, I start getting packet loss. For example, with a ping -s 1000, I can't remember ever seeing a packet lost between the freebsd machine and one of the suns or the cisco. But to any other machine, I can expect a 40% packet loss. This isn't just to machines outside our subnet, by the way. Our subnet extends outside of the lab that I control, and to machines other than the cisco outside of the lab, I still get the packet loss. Here is an excerpt from the machine's boot messages: ed1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 128.138.253.107 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.138.253.255 ether 00:00:e8:12:6a:d3 lo0: flags=8009 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 lounge.colorado.edu: bad value lounge.colorado.edu: bad value ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ anyone know what these mean? And here's an excerpt of tcpdump on ed1 while I was ftp'ing a file from wcarchive: 18:29:57.219415 wcarchive.cdrom.com.ftp-data > lounge.Colorado.EDU.1047: . 11777:12289(512) ack 1 win 16384 [tos 0x8] 18:29:57.219560 truncated-ip - 489 bytes missing!wcarchive.cdrom.com.ftp-data > lounge.Colorado.EDU.1047: . 12289:12801(512) ack 1 win 16384 [tos 0x8] 18:29:57.221889 truncated-ip - 375 bytes missing!wcarchive.cdrom.com.ftp-data > lounge.Colorado.EDU.1047: . 12801:13313(512) ack 1 win 16384 [tos 0x8] 18:29:57.340279 lounge.Colorado.EDU.1047 > wcarchive.cdrom.com.ftp-data: . ack 12289 win 16384 [tos 0x8] 18:29:57.378687 wcarchive.cdrom.com.ftp-data > lounge.Colorado.EDU.1047: . 13313:13825(512) ack 1 win 16384 [tos 0x8] My concern here, of course, is the lines containing the "truncated-ip" messages. tcpdump says packets aren't being dropped by the kernel, btw. And finally the obvious question: does anyone have any diagnosis/fixes? I'm not above the conclusion that my board is cheap, but it seems strange to me that it would have no problems with traffic to/from the suns and cisco, if that's the case.

Thanks to all who helped me with that. I have even got demand dialling working now so that any machine in the network will cause the link to go up. my only problem now is that I need the link to go down and the modem to disconnect after a period of inactivity on the link. I have put in a timeout value of 120 in the ppp.conf file but the connection doesn't die. Even if I connect manually with the same timeout value set the link won't disconnect after even 5 minutes idle time.

Could some kind sole please tell me exactly the directory structure needed on the host and where to point FTP to from the dialog box in the install script. I have read every bit of the install help files multiple times and have tried several different strategies based on inplications in these files. I have downloaded and read every FAQ that I could find that has anything to do with FreeBSD. Please, no RTFM replies unless you can point me to the exact location of the information. As far as I can tell, it isn't there.

I found that the install program had "2.0.5-ALPHA" instead of "2.0.5-RELEASE" as the directory name, and so it would fail. I wasn't sure if I had the most recent floppy, though... The way to fix this is to choose "other location" and type in your own URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE ... -Archie
