On our Sparc 1000 (single or double processor doesn't matter for this test) and a SSA model 100 (this is 30 1gb drives set up as a single 23gb raid-5 filesystem; I don't remember if they are wide or narrow but they are all seagate 31200 models) using the default vxvm raid 5 configuration (whatever that means), we get 1.2mbyte write rates (on 500mb files which is our main application for this thing) with the nvram turned off and 2.2 or so with it turned on. Read comes to about 4.7mbytes either way on the same files... FTP across a 100-base-t runs at the same speed as dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=32k count= which I used to make the test files in the first place. And no, vxvm apparently doesn't notice that I'm using /dev/zero and fake out the parity :-) It appears that the whole thing is write-limited by the raid. We also need nfs on the 100baseT but haven't tested that for speed... (and I need to run ttcp to see how the Sun hme card compares with the PCI dec ones; hope it'd be faster :-) Amazing having a 100-base-t and FW scsi on the same rather small S-bus card... -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 21 00:53:25 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA03923 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 00:53:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pelican.altadena.net (pelican.altadena.com [206.16.90.21]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id AAA03912 for ; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 00:53:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: by pelican.altadena.net (Smail3.1.29.1 #10) id m0uAtxH-0000ReC; Sun, 21 Apr 96 00:53 PDT Message-Id: Date: Sun, 21 Apr 96 00:53 PDT From: pete@pelican.altadena.net (Pete Carah) To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 'less' on remote machine in an xterm Newsgroups: freebsd.questions In-Reply-To: <199604210030.SAA01311@obie.softweyr.com> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk In article <199604210030.SAA01311@obie.softweyr.com> you write: > >Steve Reid writes: > > When I login to the machines that I admin (using ssh) and use less to > > view a file, it works fine in a text-mode screen.

The same applies to SGI but Solaris likes stty rows= instead. Even svr4 systems aren't quite consistent (admittedly both of those and HP are highly modified svr4's..)

Now, I can type talk khetan@chain.iafrica.com from any host I've telnetted into, and it pops up on the relevant term, but when I respond (i.e. talk xyz@abc.iafrica.com) it keeps saying Checking for invitation on caller's machine.

That is very low in cost and worth for non-profit institution, like our church, to use. Therefore, I am looking for a stable freeware UNIX to be our mail server which should be able to handle UUCP mail to exchange mail with ISP. I don't know much above UNIX/UUCP/Mail/POP3, but understand that they can run very well and reliable. It would be very helpful if you could let me have the detail instructions how to setup the FreeBSD 2.1 with UUCP & mail. Our system is very simple, we expected our mail server could run on our old 386PC with 4MB memory, 100MB HDD and mono VGA monitor (character mode only). Network connection with 1pc modem only. All user will dial-up to our mail server via modem. The mail server will dial-up to our ISP to exchange mail by the same modem telephone line. One of the advantage of the mail server setup in our church is we could have setup unlimited user account in our system. Then we could have the same unlimited mail user account to send/receive mail with Internet! How nice it is when one old 386 PC, one shared telephone line (share with our fax machine) and USD20.-/month could serve unlimited mail user! Your prompt reply is apprieciated. Very truly yours, Norman Man p.s. When you will publish your next version of FreeBSD, after 2.1? Does 2.1 is good enough for our UUCP/Mail server?

It might be interesting to see if this will happen if you type find / -print If so, the last name before the blackout might give you some indication of the area in which the problem lies.

No. Since there are only these two computers on the network, I am using /etc/hosts. > Describe the symptoms in more detail. I am a bit further ahead now. At least I am able to connect from a DOS box and a "net use \\groucho\dpflag". However I am still not able to use Win95's 32 bit networking. When I start up my machine, I see the Windows Networking dialog which prompts me for my username, password and domain. I enter "dpflag", my password, and "groucho" for these (I don't know what else to enter for domain). It pauses for a while and then tells me that "No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources". It then asks me for my Windows password and my desktop appears. When I click on "Network Neighborhood", nothing appears under Entire Network. If I double-click on "Entire Network", I get "Unable to browse the network. The network is not accessible". Dan.

This looks like a Xylogics problem, but you cannot be sure until you've also seen the logs from the remote peer. The above looks like iijppp is flooded with config request that are properly acknowledged.

Dial out is working fine. But dialing in has some problems. Outside callers can connect directly; the modem answers, but the 'login' never appears. They just get a blank screen.

I've set /etc/ttys to: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" as well as std.28800, std.19200, & std.2400, with no luck. Dmesg reports sio1 as type 16450, while under the internal 14.4 sio1 was type 16550A. So my question here is are 28.8 USR Externals just plain dogs; something to be returned? Or is there some hidden file I still have to configure for this faster modem?

Piece o' cake! yep! we had a manager that wanted a "project plan" for this thing! we subverted the effort. we put it together in 2 days. rs445, rf card reader with antenna, card database, and interface to add/ remove/ disable/ enable cards from/ in/ to/ the system. we submitted the "project plan" the next morning. two words: project complete. ;) funmny we forgot to enable the manager's card. but it was great for bring pizza back to the office. just walk on up to hte door, reads the card in your shirt pocket, push the door open with your butt. -- Jonathan M.

You'll find that the more that comes with FreeBSD does quite a bit more than other mores, and is a lot like less! ;-) Seriously, FreeBSD's `more' has quite a few of less's features. I've never really needed `less' on a FreeBSD host. If you really want it, it compiles painlessly (add -ltermcap to the lib list). In addition, there's a precompiled package for it on the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM ... mount your cdrom and type: pkg_add /cdrom/packages/utilities/less-290.tgz It's also in the ports collection under the `utilities' directory. You can also FTP the package or the port from ftp.freebsd.org ... look in /pub/FreeBSD/{ports/utils/less,packages/utiltiies/less-290.tgz}. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/ From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 21 16:05:19 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id QAA14641 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 16:05:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au (wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au [130.102.192.56]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id QAA14633 for ; Sun, 21 Apr 1996 16:05:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from horn.cs.uq.edu.au (root@horn.cs.uq.edu.au [130.102.64.247]) by wasabi.cs.uq.edu.au (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA18988; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 09:04:42 +1000 (EST) Received: from localhost.cs.uq.edu.au (efung@localhost.cs.uq.edu.au [127.0.0.1]) by horn.cs.uq.edu.au (8.7.4/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA22669; Mon, 22 Apr 1996 09:04:41 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199604212304.JAA22669@horn.cs.uq.edu.au> X-Authentication-Warning: horn.cs.uq.edu.au: Host efung@localhost.cs.uq.edu.au [127.0.0.1] didn't use HELO protocol To: HMG coA reductase cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Questions...

I unfortunately had to install the entire system from floppy since my particualar DOS partition was not compatible with what the FreeBSD installation program was using. In addition, I have an IDE CDROM that is the 'master' device on my secondary IDE hard disk controller. I compiled a new kernel to include /dev/wcd0 on my secondary IDE controller and was delighted to see that it works beautifully. To get to the point, the same problem that makes it unable for me to install from my DOS partition has in the past caused a corruption of my entire FreeBSD filesystem when I made the mistake of trying to mount the DOS partition. I have since restored the system, but not without a number of lost hours and productivity. In case any such or similar accident were to happen again, is there a way to incorporate my new compiled kernel into the Walnut Creek installation program so that my installation would be far quicker if needed in the future?

Recently it was decided that if the device was closed, then the] user should have the option of ending the session by pressing the 'eject' button. This would have the effect of causing a mount session reset at the next open. In effect it would be the same as retrospectively changing the last close to a close and unmount. > > On Wed, 17 Apr 1996, Andrew Herdman wrote: > > > After upgrading to the recent snap, I have been having problems with my > > Archive Python 4mm Dat drive on a buslogics 946c and the nrst device. > > > > Using tar i can do the following: > > > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir1 > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir2 > > tar cf /dev/nrst0 /dir3 > > mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind > > > > tar tvf /dev/nrst0 > > > > tar tvf /dev/nrst0 > > this is expected.. what happens is: tar reads until it sees it's EOF record, and stops reading..

The machine is running FreeBSD 2.1.0R, sendmail and INN. The client who wants the UUCP machine will have his clients dialup over 28.8k modems. He doesn't know whether they will be dialing straight into a UUCP login, or connecting via PPP. He also doesn't know what software will be running on the remote side. He just wants "UUCP to work". Compressed UUCP over TCP? Is the UUCP that comes with FreeBSD good enough to do this? Any tips or pointers to documentation or sample configuration files will be greatly appreciated.

Michael, thank you very much. There are some instructions in the handbook. I installed 2.1R by FTP and got the sup package as well as others and got it all installed and running. There's a sample sup file for STABLE, which seems suited to what I want to do. However the sample sup file for ports looks as if it gets sources for all ports. I am wondering whether I need to get the sources for the ports/packages that I have installed and get these rebuilt as well as everything else in the "make world" process, in order for them to run?

Linux has support _some_ drives of this type for over a year. The Linux camp are, perhaps, somewhat more generous in their use of the term "support". Many people are using the FreeBSD ATAPI driver with no problems at all, however because it doesn't work with the vast majority of drives, and hasn't been heavily tested, it's generally considered wise to mention this up front. > I was wondering when this situation will be corrected. Atapi IDE > cdrom drives are not exactly new technology. Calling ATAPI drives "technology" of any sort is a bit of a joke. If you can put three models from three different vendors together, and find a lowest-common-denominator set of commands and options that allow the _basic_ CDROM operations, then you deserve a medal. And then we'll give you a fourth that breaks the set. If you're not sure whether your drive will work, download the ATAPI-enabled boot floppy and try it - you may well already be a winner. If you have a drive that doesn't work, and you're willing to help the developer(s) get it working, then people will be very happy. > Bill -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

Is this correct? I thought that most did work, and that it was an exception--unfortunately, a too common one--to find a drive that didn't work. Isn't it about time to get a list of drives which are known to work? Lots of people find themselves in the situation of wanting to buy a CD-ROM drive, and for one reason or another they can't buy SCSI. It would be nice to be able to say which do (and which do not) work. Who is using ATAPI? I'm not, but I have a colleague here who installed 2.1-release with a drive whose name he has forgotten, but which he will report to me tomorrow. >> I was wondering when this situation will be corrected.

In some cases, the same model name (can anyone say "Creative CDrom") has been applied to several quite significantly different models. > > Calling ATAPI drives "technology" of any sort is a bit of a joke. > > OK, so ATAPI is currently buggy, but in fact they're quite high-tech > devices.

I suggest you look closely at the innards of a modern CDrom, or perhaps ask yourself how they can produce such an allegedly high-tech device with incredibly high model turnover at the sort of prices we're seeing now. The answer is simple - cut every possible corner. My old $200 Sony Discman works better than every one of the ten or so CDroms that I've spent any time with in the last year or so. A pity it doesn't have a SCSI interface 8) I have a small pile of Panasonic 2x mechanisms that have developed intermittent and gradually worsening read aberrations over the last year or so, which I can only attribute to fatigue in the small pieces of spring wire that hold the optics in position. These have lost so much of their original resilience that the optical assembly can be heard to bounce _off_the_disk_ when they get really confused. At this point, there's about a 50% chance that they will eject the disk, still spinning at full speed. How much would a better grade of wire have cost? Or another week testing the firmware before shipping? Obviously enough that they decided they couldn't afford it.

Indeed. It's just sad that people buy them and then say "why doesn't your OS support this drive? It's the newest and greatest!". Some poor FreeBSD hacker turns their mind to mush working out how to talk to the drive, and then its obsolete and people are demanding support for a different monster. > Anyway, what kind of Panasonic drive? Part number? ID string? Do > they work with FreeBSD when they work? It's the CR503/CR563 mechanism. The 563 is one of the many drives to wear the "Creative CDROM" label, and I believe that most of them work OK with the matcd driver. The CR503-B was a low-cost SCSI CD that we bought several of, and software-wise they actully work quite well, although when they're confused they tend to reset the SCSI bus and interfere in other devices' transactions. (Read, if one loses the plot, it's time to power-cycle the system). The 563's never got a lot of work before they died - most of the time they were used for installing stuff (Office, various CAD software) and were removed when they repeatedly hung the system or started making scratching noises. So far we're not having too much trouble with the CR504 (the 4x version), but I've slated them all for replacement at the 12-month mark. I lost a disk at home to one of the 503's and I'm not willing to go through that again 8( > Greg -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.

But after seeing the messages in some of the freebsd- lists about the fvwm95 port I thought I'd try it out. It's quite nice, and certainly manages to confuse some of the people around the office. But it seems to be a bit of a process hog. With ctwm, I had a kernel compiled with maxusers set to 20 and could quite happily have 8 xterms running, a few Netscape windows and quite often a copy of XEmacs.

I am trying to install a new hard drive on a FreeBSD 2.1 system and am metting with stiff resistance. I want to use this 2.2 gig SCSI-2 for a small newsfeed. I have fdisk'ed the drive several times now and it seems to work, but when I try to do newfs it returns two errors: not a character-special device and `1' partition is not available First off, this should not have to be a character device anyway should it? I thought it needed to be a block device? I have tried I tried looking for a command line option to tell it to expect a block device but there was none to be found. Also I cannot find an option to set the inode size down to 2k. If someone could give me. in order, the procedure and options to prepare and mount this hard drive, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to configure the XFree86 to run on my system, but the monitor is always out of sync. The only mode that works is 320x200x256. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 3 monitor and a Trident AGI 9440 PCI video card. This card is VESA compatible and works fine with any resolution with OS/2, Windows and any game running on DOS. It has 1024 Kbytes of memory. The monitor supports the horizontal refresh rate of 31.5 and 35.5. The vertical refesh rate for each resolution is: 60Mhz for 640x480 60Mhz for 800x600 87Mhz, interlaced for 1024x768. When I run xinit, it displays the following messages: Unknown chipset 0x5e (I think the number is 0x5e, but I'm not sure) Using builtin mode 320x200 If I use anything on virtual screen section on XF86Config, except 320x200 the monitor becomes out of sync. I've tried to use the Ctrl+Alt+KP_+ to switch between defined modes (1024x768, 800x600, 640x480), but it doesn't make any change at all. I've looked at cards database in xf86config and it doesn't have my video card neither a generic VESA compatible SVGA, so I don't know what to do to make it work on my system. My questions are: 1 - What is this builtin mode 320x200 xinit is using ? 2 - How can I make XFree86 work on my system ?

Let me toss out some possibly helpful info: 1. Some aspects of IPv6 are still being debated. One example is the set of extensions to the BSD sockets API to support IPv6, which just had a new Internet draft released last week. It is true that the packet formats are "standardized today" but it takes more than that to have a working protocol deployment. 2. Yes, interoperable implementations exist, but they're prototypes. For people who want to experiment with software in this form, source code is available. I'm aware of at least three possibly-applicable implementations (for BSD 4.4Lite from NRL, for BSD/OS from the WIDE project, and for NetBSD from INRIA). More information can be found on the IPv6 home page: http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html There is an overlay network designed to support routing IPv6 packets over tunnels between IPv6-connected "islands", similar to how the MBONE works for IP multicast: http://www-6bone.lbl.gov/6bone/ So you could say that to a certain extent, IPv6 is happening now, and you could (theoretically at least) get a FreeBSD box to talk IPv6. I think the answer to the original question ("When could be IPv6 [sic] available for FreeBSD") depends a lot on how the person wanted to use it. If they were willing to fold an existing prototype implementation into FreeBSD, and use an experimental infrastructure, the answer is "now". If they wanted it for production use (which sounds more like the case), they should wait awhile. Bruce.

You certainly may put it on a second controller, but IMHO you should use the first one as much as you can (I don't know what behavior the ATAPI CDROM code exibits in this regard -- it's been known to favor some setups over others).

I had better ask what you mean by the "linux emulation" on the InfoMagic CDROM. (I'm conjuring up an odd definition for "linux emulation"... yeah, linux :) My guess is that you forgot something. 1) Did you "make all install" the ports/emulation/linux port? 2) Did you build and load linux_emu? (I found that I had to re-install the kernel sources and the lkm dist to get it working) The next version of FreeBSD's linux emulator will be loads easier to install.

There is another way using interlaced gifs - basically one gif contains a few images which each overwrite the previous one. It works with any software which displays interlaced gifs properly, and doesnt have many of the disadvantages of the server-push abomination. I dont know how you make them, but I dont think any of the FreeBSD ports will help you.

There is no Java enable Netscape port for FreeBSD that I know of, so if you want to view your animation, you may want to try one of the others. You can make a server push script pretty easily with Perl, but the easiest way if you don't want to do the programming is make a gif animation. There is a way to save several gifs in one.

Something like referring to a file which the program has already closed. Other things are possible - could a full file system cause this? As with all other errors, memory corruption can cause this, but it wouldn't be the first error I would expect.

Boy, you're busy :-) No, you don't need the X sources, but you do need the header files and libs (which are loaded if you choose the right install option). You may also need to make a symbolic link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include - I can't remember the details for xv, but several of the X ports use the old directory convention, and once it's set up, you don't notice. You might also need to link /usr/lib/X11 to /usr/X11R6/lib, for linking. > > > --- > Khetan Gajjar > Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ > Pipex-Internet Africa Operations > help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002 > > > John -- Beavis and Butt-Head; Vladimir and Estragon for the '90s. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Apr 23 00:32:55 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id AAA12710 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 00:32:55 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail.netvision.net.il (mail.NetVision.net.il [194.90.1.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA12705 for ; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 00:32:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: from telgate.telrad.co.il (telgate.telrad.co.il [194.90.21.130]) by mail.netvision.net.il (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA06054 for ; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 11:30:42 +0300 (IDT) Received: from elex.co.il (tlhuph12.elex.co.il) by telgate.telrad.co.il (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA25647; Tue, 23 Apr 96 10:22:23 IDT Received: from cpm.elex.co.il (tcpmma01.elex.co.il) by elex.co.il with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA282254024; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 10:20:24 +0300 Received: from tlcpmh34.elex.co.il by cpm.elex.co.il with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA111084013; Tue, 23 Apr 1996 10:20:13 +0300 Received: by tlcpmh34.elex.co.il ($Revision: 1.37.109.26 $/15.6) id AA
