I'll talk samba only. For the package install mount cdrom #1, su to root and issue `pkg_add -v samba-1.9.15p8.tgz' and see if that doesn't work. For building ports, mount cdrom #2, su to root, go into the ports directory ie. `cd /usr/ports/net/samba' make and after good build, make install.

I figure you probably have a good install but are not getting booted properly. Did you, per chance install good ole FreeBSD on the second hard disk? If so and I assume you are getting the boot prompt or you would never get mount panic try: `1:wd(1,a)/kernel' at this point and see if it mounts. This assumes ide hard disk. If you instead installed fbsd on the first hard drive and have nasty bg's system installed already and tried to put fbsd above cylinder 1024, you will have make room below this cylinder limit and reinstall. If this doesn't help, fill in the blanks, and will go from there.

Other vt's console messages were media changed. Got invalid device or some such when trying to dismount it.

Ya I know, but its the *amount* of time I had it running for straight...it was pushing over a 100 hours of run time at that point. But at this point this post is mute...last night at 2:01am for no reason I can discern from the logs, the system rebooted on its own. Cron stuff runs at 2am to email me about latest stuff from the system. I didnt get that message, and I turned on the monitor to a login prompt. Last message in message log was media changed at 2am then at 2:01 am I get the log of the machine rebooting. Weird, but everything seems ok, cd mounts and umounts fine now! :) thanks!

You said the first hard drive is on the primary channel and the second one is on the secondary channel. From this I hear that both hard drives are in the master position of both channels. I think you need a different command at the boot: prompt.

FreeBSD had the best performance in the short run, pulling to an early lead with 100 users, then falling back, we believe, because of some resource bottleneck, but the OS did not produce an error condition to alert us. BSD built on FreeBSD's This thread came up on this list awhile ago. It seems the company that did these tests did not recompile the FreeBSD kernel with MAXMEM, since the machines had 128MB. So the other machines really had double the memory. It would have been interesting to see how it fared with the same amount. I would not be surprised if it came out on top...

What does this mean? netstat traverses some data structures in the kernel without locking them. This means that it may follow a pointer while the kernel is updating its structures, causing it to attempt to access non-existent data. This is what you get as result. One way to lessen the chance of this happening is running netstat -n, which will execute faster with less chance of the structures changing on the fly.

With older versions the best chance you have is renaming your disks. Assuming you don't have a wd1 disk (i.e. a disk that's a slave on the primary controller) you can do the following: 1. Edit your kernel config file, commenting out the line for wd1 and changing the line for wd2 to read wd1 instead (change just the name, leave all parameters the same). 2. Edit /etc/fstab and change all references to wd2 into references to wd1. This will have the effect of naming your second disk wd1 instead of wd2, which should make the boot code heapier.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I've been using Linux on my P5 for awhile now. I've always wanted to try out FreeBSD though, but I never did because my Pentium isnt really allowed any down time. Well, I recently put together a 486 with 12m of ram and 200m of HD space for the reason of putting FreeBSD on it for evaluation. I installed the bins and manpages, and am now trying to get the 486 slipped to the Pentium to complete installation. Theres the rub. :) 10.0.0.5 is the pentium 10.0.0.48 is the 486 I know that the Linux series of commands gets it slipped to another Linux machine with no trouble. The series of commands (that actually matter for this discussion, anyhow) are: setserial /dev/cua1 spd_vhi # gets ready for 115.2 slattach -c /dev/cua1 38400 # 38400 with spd_vhi reponds as 115200 ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.5 pointopoint 10.0.0.48 up route add 10.0.0.48 when this series of commands is run on two Linux machines, ping will respond at this point. On the BSD side I do.. slattach -c -h -l -s 115200 /dev/cuaa0 ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.48 10.0.0.5 up Ok.. now.. I went through the faq and set the ifconfig statement up in /etc/rc.conf .. thats all fine.. ip's are all set up. In theory, all I should have to do (so far as I understand the FAQ) is issue the slattach statement. I do that, and a netstat -r gives me a default route of 10.0.0.5 ..fine, the Linux machine will do ip masqing .. the route to 10.0.0.5 is 10.0.0.48 .. this doesnt seem right to me, and indeed.. a ping of 10.0.0.5 just sits there. I set the Linux machine to ping the 486, and then did an slstat on BSD, it reports a punch of incoming packets. I assume that this means that Linux is all ready to talk.. BSD just isnt responding to the pings, so that leads me to believe that the BSD routing table isnt set up correctly. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've setup UUCP on the FreeBSD box. When I send mail to an account on the FreeBSD box, the Host dutifully queues it for delivery. I know this because I have a shell account on the Host and I can verify its queued status using uustat. When I call into the Host from the FreeBSD box (using uucico), the mail is picked up. How do I know that? The log on the Host indicates it, there is no longer any outbound mail queued for the FreeBSD box on the Host, and if I send a long message, the modem connect time is much longer than it is when no messages are queued. In short, I'm strongly convinced that the queued messages are getting transferred from the Host to the FreeBSD box. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out where they're going. The mail is not received by the addressee. If I use find to search the entire system for files that were created today, there is none that I can't account for (i.e., nothing that could be the missing mail).

I have two MOOs running on the system, which is almost exclusively devoted to them. When I start up the smaller (about 4 megs) of the two MOOs under my account, called kender, all is fine. The other MOO is larger (around 8megs database), but when I try starting it up with the other running, I get a panic of the moo's server from memory allocation. If I start it up under root's perms, all is fine. This has also happened on a box that is similar, after the login.conf was installed.. We have determined that the problem may be with the new login.conf. My 'kender' account may be running out of allocated memory. One of my assistants tried adding a portion to the login.conf file named kender, but it didn't seem to help. We would like to give kender infinite memory. Could you help me with how we would go about setting that up? I wonder if we just didn't miss a step/setting. tia, Bonnie Coluccio System Administrator backpacker.laroche.edu From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 12:32:38 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA29695 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:32:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA29689; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:32:35 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jmb) From: "Jonathan M.

FreeBSD was using 1/2 the memory used by the other systems. FreeBSD was conservative in determinghte amount of memory installed. The amount used is reported in the startup messages, which the reviewers must have missed. they did not do the minimum of building a kernel to use the larger amount of memory available jmb From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 12:54:31 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA00848 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:54:31 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from awfulhak.demon.co.uk (awfulhak.demon.co.uk [158.152.17.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA00834 for ; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 12:54:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from brian@awfulhak.org) Received: from gate.lan.awfulhak.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by awfulhak.demon.co.uk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA25584; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 20:53:30 GMT (envelope-from brian@gate.lan.awfulhak.org) Message-Id: <199711232053.UAA25584@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0zeta 7/24/97 To: Matt Wilbur cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NATD and Quake In-reply-to: Your message of "Sat, 22 Nov 1997 12:02:42 PST." <199711222005.MAA05268@ren.mill.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 20:53:30 +0000 From: Brian Somers Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > Hello, > > I'm trying like hell to ditch my linux (shudder) IP Masq'ing gateway for > FreeBSD with NATD, but I just can't get it to proxy quake.. and well...

I have been using linux for awhile, but I want to try FreeBSD as well. I got a 4 CD distribution of 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-Rom and installed it on the 2nd partition of my 2nd hard drive. I have linux on the 2nd partition of my first hard drive and when I want linux, I boot into dos (first partition of 1st hard drive) and use loadlin to boot into it. I have an atapi CD-Rom drive, and the 2 hard drives are EIDE on one controller. FIRST question: When I installed FreeBSD, it changed my MBR so that it gives me choices, if I hit F1 it goes to DOS, if I hit F5 it goes to my 2nd hard drive and gives me F2 as a choice for FreeBSD. Those work fine, but there are choices that specify linux, only they don't work. It would be nice if it really could let me choose linux, is that a possibility? SECOND question: The 2nd CD-rom of the set I got from Walnut Creek is supposed to be a 'live file system' that you can use by specifying some option from the boot floppy. Maybe that doesn't work when the CD-Rom is atapi but it would certainly be nice for doing repairs, like changing fstabs when I move the jumpers around on the backs of my hard drives). Actually, it would be nice to just have a loadlin like utility to run from DOS to let me boot this or that O/S, does such a thing exist for FreeBSD? -TIA Carl Weidling From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 13:19:52 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id NAA02342 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 13:19:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from moogle.netopia.com (s13.usr-wwi-tampa.ww-interlink.net [209.12.134.15]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id NAA02337 for ; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 13:19:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mog@moogle.netopia.com) Received: from moogle.netopia.com [209.12.134.15] by moogle.netopia.com [127.0.0.1] with SMTP (MDaemon.v2.6.rA.b6.32-T) for ; Sun, 23 Nov 97 16:19:30 -0500 From: "Scott McRae" To: Subject: lib.so Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 16:19:29 -0500 Message-ID: <01bcf855$7bfcb980$0f860cd1@moogle.netopia.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0023_01BCF82B.9326B180" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0023_01BCF82B.9326B180 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I keep getting an error about a lib.so.

If you have problems, please let me know--this is going to press any day now. Greg Login classes In UNIX tradition, root has been the owner of the universe. In a large installation, this is rather primitive, and the 4.3BSD Net/2 relase introduced a new concept, login classes, which determine session accounting, resource limits and user environment settings. Various programs in the system use the database described in /etc/login.conf to set up a user's login environment and to enforce policy, accounting and administrative restrictions. The login class database also provides the means by which users are able to be authenticated to the system and the types of authentication available. When creating a user, you may optionally enter a class name, which should match an entry in/etc/login.conf--see page 135 for more details. If you don't, the system will use the entry default for a non-root user. For the root user, the system will use the entry root if it is present, and default otherwise. The structure of the login configuration database is relatively extensive. It describes a number of parameters, many of which can have two values: a current value and a maximum value. On login, the system sets the values to the -cur (current) value, but the user may, at his option, increase the value to the -max (maximum) value. We'll look at the default entry for an example. # Example defaults # These settings are used by login(1) by default for classless users # Note that entries like "cputime" set both "cputime-cur" and "cputime-max" default:\ :cputime=infinity:\ :datasize-cur=64M:\ :stacksize-cur=64M:\ :memorylocked-cur=10M:\ :memoryuse-cur=100M:\ :filesize=infinity:\ :coredumpsize=infinity:\ :maxproc-cur=64:\ :openfiles-cur=64:\ :priority=0:\ :requirehome@:\ :umask=022:\ :tc=auth-defaults: This entry defines the following parameters: o Processes may use as much CPU time as they want. If you change this, you can stop processes which use more than a specific amount of CPU time. o The current maximum sizes of the user data segment and the stack are set to 64 MB. The entry doesn't define maximum values for these parameters. o The user may lock a maximum of 10 MB of memory per process. o The total memory use per process may not exceed 100 MB. o There is no limit on the size of data files or core dump files that the user may create. o The user may have up to 64 processes. o Each process may have up to 64 open files. For some programs, this could be a limitation. o The user need not have a home directory in order to log in. The @ symbol specifies that the preceding symbol (requirehome) should be undefined. As a result, the system does not require the home directory. o By default, the umask is set to 022. See page 162 for more details of umask. o The system uses the default authentication scheme for this user. See the man page on page 879 for further details. Referring to other classes If you want to create a new class, you don't have to start from scratch. You can derive the defaults from a different class. For example, if you have one user on the system who uses a lot of memory, you might create a class like this: glutton:\ :tc=default:\ :memoryuse-cur=infinity: The property tc refers to the default class. A good example of this is the xuser class, designed for the needs of X11 users: xuser:\ :manpath=/usr/share/man /usr/X11R6/man /usr/local/man:\ :cputime=4h:\ :datasize=12M:\ :stacksize=4M:\ :filesize=8M:\ :memoryuse=16M:\ :openfiles=32:\ :maxproc=48:\ :tc=standard: In this example, you'll notice also that the class definition defines a default for the environment variable MANPATH.

Both of them. You need to specify the names of at least two name servers to register a domain, but they don't need to be running at that point. On the other hand, they should be running as soon as the domain is registered, and since it doesn't do any harm to have them running before, I'd suggest that you set up the name server first.

Definitely FreeBSD. Linux is just a kernel, and to make it complete, you need a "distribution", of which there are several. FreeBSD is a complete system.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as grog@lemis.de. Since then, I have changed it to grog@lemis.com. If I were to try to remove grog@lemis.com from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.org, and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? ========================================= Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In some cases, it's not really clear which group you should ask. The following criteria should help for 99% of all questions, however: If the question is of a general nature, ask FreeBSD-questions. Examples might be questions about intstalling FreeBSD or the use of a particular UNIX utility. If you think the question relates to a bug, but you're not sure, or you don't know how to look for it, send the message to FreeBSD-questions. If the question relates to a bug, and you're sure that it's a bug (for example, you can pinpoint the place in the code where it happens, and you maybe have a fix), then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. If the question relates to enhancements to FreeBSD, and you can make suggestions about how to implement them, then send the message to FreeBSD-hackers. There are also a number of other specialized mailing lists, for example FreeBSD-isp, which caters to the interests of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who run FreeBSD. If you happen to be an ISP, this doesn't mean you should automatically send your questions to FreeBSD-isp. The criteria above still apply, and it's in your interest to stick to them, since you're more likely to get good results that way. IV: How to submit a question ============================= When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer even if you follow these rules. It's much more possible to not get an answer if you don't. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. ``FreeBSD problem'' or ``Help'' aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers or badly configured mailers. The following mailers are known to send out badly formatted messages without you finding out about them: Eudora exmh Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Internet Mail Microsoft Outlook Netscape As you can see, the mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: If you get error messages, don't say ``I get error messages'', say (for example) ``I get the error message 'No route to host'''. If your system panics, don't say ``My system panicked'', say (for example) ``my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'''. If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. If you have difficulty getting PPP to run, describe the configuration. Which version of PPP do you use? What kind of authentication do you have? Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? What kind of messages do you get in the log file? 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question (yes, it's the same one in each case :-). You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V: How to answer a question =========================== Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

Can >anyone help me figure out what's happening to these messages? This actually sounds more like a sendmail problem than an UUCP one. It does indeed appear that the messages are getting transmitted as you suspect. Here are some things to check: 1. Does the "rmail" binary exist, and is it runnable by the uucp user? Be sure it's in a standard location in the path (/bin or /usr/bin would be a good place). 2. Make sure sendmail is running (check /etc/rc.conf). 3. Make sure sendmail is configured to "know" about UUCP. TO do this, look at the example sendmail configuration files (see /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf. If thsi directory doesn't exist, install the "src" distribution). - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.

The order really doesn't matter. In the past, when I've registered a domain, I've generally done it this way: 1. Prepare the InterNIC registration form. (See `http://rs.internic.net/') In it, you'll specify a primary and at least one secondary name server. Judging from your email, one of your machines will be the primary. 2. Send the template to `hostmaster@internic.net'. Be sure to send in your $100. :-/ 3. Add the appropriate DNS entries to the primary and secondary name servers. Note that it doesn't matter whether the NIC has fulfilled the domain creation request yet. The machines on your network will think the domain exists because they're looking at your DNS, and your DNS claims that it's primary for the domain. The outside world *won't* know it exists, because it isn't in the NIC's tables yet, so no one knows to even ask your DNS about it. 4. Wait for the NIC to acknowledge the domain creation. You can do #3 first, if you want. It doesn't matter. Think it through; you'll see why. :-) Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking. -- H. L.

How can I do the boot disk? Please send messages of this nature to FreeBSD-questions, not FreeBSD-doc, which is dedicated to documenting the FreeBSD system. The floppy image is exactly 1474560 bytes long. I don't know how you got 1,546,706 bytes. Some people will tell you it's because you used ASCII mode transfer (which is likely), but that doesn't explain the size: an ASCII transfer of the 2.2.5 boot floppy produces 1479138 bytes.

How can I do the boot disk? You need to use a special program that I think you'll find in the tools/ directory (should have the same parent directory as wherever you got boot.flp, I think) to copy boot.flp onto the floppy.

I'm currently overclocking my P5-233MMX to 266 MHz on an Asus P/I P55T2P4 motherboard by setting the bus speed to 75 MHz instead of 66 MHz that Intel recommends. This motherboard has an undocumented (well, at least by the manufacturer) bus speed of 83 MHz. The major draw back to overclocking is heat and the accelerated bus speed causes some PCI cards to not work. I was able to bring my system up at 83 MHz, but my SCSI controller (an old 2940) would work correctly. The above link gives you a ton of info.

I'm just trying to clarify what I'm talking about. Processor overclocking By increasing the processor multiplier it is possible (with some P5's and 6's) to run the processor at a clock speed higher than it's box label says it should go. Bus overclocking Increasing the bus clock above the setting normal for that Processor has the effect of overclocking the bus _and_ the processor at the same time. Big win! Tom's hardware page explaines it so much better than the couple of paragraphs above. Intel produced a hell of a lot of Pentium class processors that were not able to be Processor overclocked. Bus overclocking is the only avenue open to people with that sort of processor. Generally these were "Boxed Set" processors - the after market type.

I have two machines at home - both P55T2P4's, both Hardware Rev 3.0 - not the recommended 3.1 Hardware revision of the motherboard. In the FreeBSD box I have a P133 processor bus overclocked to 166MHz and an Adaptec 2940UW that goes like a bat out of hell at this bus speed. Thank you Intel! This machine has 64MB of RAM - 70ns fast page with _no_ memory timing backoffs. 8-) In the Win95 box, (no flames please! 8-) ), I have a P166MMX processor bus overclocked to 210MHz and an Adaptec 2940 BIOS Rev 1.21. The T2P4's BIOS tells me it's only found a 200MHz processor, but that's because the BIOS rev (2.5 I think) doesn't support processors above 200MHz. In fact it _is_ running at 210MHz. BIOS rev 2.6 fixes the display problem but I haven't applied it. This machine has 32MB of 60ns EDO RAM with no memory timing backoffs. Heat is not a problem for either of these processors, although I don't know what a P233MMX behaves at 83MHz. I've been running these machines for > 6 months now with only one noticable problem. Some sound programs don't work correctly at the higher bus speed. This may be because there is a software timing issue that is sensitive to bus speed. It only happens on the FreeBSD box in "amp" (of winamp fame). From memory, most other audio apps are fine on the unix and Win95 machines. Processor temperature If I touch either of the processors - I was concerned about heat too - they are slightly warm to the touch, but certainly _not_ hot. My definition of a hot processor is "unpleasantly warm", I am conservative! A couple of tips Cache RAM If you have less than 64MB of system memory and you want to bus overclock your machine to 83 MHz, make _sure_ you pull out any aftermarket add-in cache RAM module. Only trust the cache RAM on the Motherboard or you will more than likely only achieve 75MHz bus speed. The reason? ASUS, (the Good Guys) put _fast_ cache ram (6 or 8ns I think) on the motherboard, they had to for the 83MHz bus speed didn't they 8-) Any Cache module you plugged in afterwards probably uses 12-15ns RAM which is far too slow for 83MHz. System RAM If you have good 70ns Fast Page RAM and you're currently running a 66MHz bus machine, there's an _extremely_ good chance you can overclock the bus to 83MHz. Simply set the memory speed timings to defaults in the appropriate PCI config page and give it a try. The BIOS has a feature to reset all of a page's parameters to default. I've bus overclocked probably a dozen or more 'T2P4's with a mixture of RAM types, mostly 70ns Fast Page RAM and I've been sucsessful _every_ time. SCSI Controllers I can't say anything about controllers other than Adaptec, except that NCR controllers seem to just work without problems from everything I've read. Adaptec controllers however, _must_ have a BIOS revision of 1.21 or later or you're out of luck. I had one of the early cards, so I upgraded to a new 2940UW (best value for a server with lots of disk) and the old 2940 BIOS rev 1.16 is now in my 14YO son's P100 FreeBSD box. Card Problems I don't have any problems with Video cards (1 X S3 Virge and 1 S3 Trio 64V+) ISA cards behave well in both machines 1 X AST 4 port serial card, I X GUS audio card, 1 X SB16 non-PNP audio card. In general, bus overclock and you should be very happy with the results. Sorry for the long posting.

Try a normal boot, when it pukes and asks you to select a shell, manually run fsck and mount the file system w/o 's1', if this works, if then edit /etc/fstab appropriately.

LOL, good luck getting NT to support 3000 users. However, I noticed upon reading this that Linux will automagically detect SMP systems (and I already know NT can kinda do this), that'd be cool if FBSD could do this too. - alex From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Nov 23 23:36:17 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id XAA12068 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 23:36:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from Kitten.mcs.com (Kitten.mcs.com [192.160.127.90]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA12051 for ; Sun, 23 Nov 1997 23:36:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from font@Jupiter.Mcs.Net) Received: from Jupiter.Mcs.Net (font@Jupiter.mcs.net [192.160.127.88]) by Kitten.mcs.com (8.8.5/8.8.2) with ESMTP id BAA09655; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:14 -0600 (CST) Received: from localhost (font@localhost) by Jupiter.Mcs.Net (8.8.7/8.8.2) with SMTP id BAA22653; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:13 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:36:13 -0600 (CST) From: Font To: "Jesse, Roland" cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: NIS client setup In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Bill Paul wrote a reply to a question of mine in a similar vein, which I missed, but luckily found on my news server again. You can look it up on Deja News with a subject of "NIS/YP subnets and slave servers" in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. Basically, if the server and the client are on different subnets, it won't work. This may be changed in the future. But for right now, what you probably need to do is to make this client also a slave server, use ypxfr to manually copy over all the maps from the master to the slave server, and add the slaver server to the master's ypservers file. After all that's done, you can then make the client bind to itself, and since it's a slave server it should get the updates from the server fine. Of course, if the master isn't FreeBSD, then I have no idea whether this would work or not, all bets are off. But at this point the client can only bind to a server on the same subnet, due to the way the client searcher for the server. A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.

Are you closing any applications that may be accessing that file system cleanly before you do the shutdown? You might want to try doing that if you're not, and see if that improves your situation. By closing cleanly I mean using the program's options to terminate it, or a simple kill (not kill -9).

I did this in the past for a Linux install and all was fine. The problem comes when you want to 'grow' the C partition using 'fips'. It seems that fips will not enlarge a partition, only shrink one. It was a while since I used fips, so maybe it's fixed now. The only way to get your space back on C is either to repartition the disk (complete reinstall), or find a program like 'fips' that will enlarge an existing partition. Maybe that program 'partition magic' will do it for you. This costs money though :-(.

The setup is as follows: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE is NFS and NIS server. The client is Solaris-2.6. I can login, read write and so on, the home directory was mounted through automount and I also tried to mount it manually without automount. The problem: I can't run top, sysinfo, lsof (programs that access /dev/kmem) It takes to netscape about 5 minutes to startup, but after that I can't close it. Another thing, when the home directory is on solaris everything works fine. Also, when I login as root on solaris and then make su - user and then run top, and other programs, everything works. NetBSD on the same computer instead of solaris works OK. There was no problems when the client was solaris-2.5.1 Any clues ? TIA, --Yuri.

So far everything works fine EXCEPT my mouse. I have a serial mouse, standard Microsoft or mouse system compatible. I am attempting to use it on mouse system setting. When I enter x-win everything seems fine until I use my mouse. I then receive the following messages printed to every xterm which is initially opened. The following messages occur only when the mouse is being utilized. If the mouse is sitting still, I do not receive any messages.

Needless to say, my mouse does not work correctly. Things can even get violent at times. No, the mouse did not work correctly during the XF86Setup program. The mouse moves down ok, but when the mouse goes up it jumps to the top of the screen. The three buttons all work correctly. Also, the rate of movement is extremely fast. My system contains a serial card. The original serial ports built into the baseboard are not recognized by FreeBSD 2.2. I placed the card in and everything worked fine. The serial ports are recognized. I have the standard sio configuration which is set by default. I would appreciate anyone giving me some direction on this issue. Thanks in advance.

During initial installation, I get the message: /mnt/dev/wd0s1f on /mnt/usr Invalid argument and a bit later another message just like the above except about a different filesystem (swap maybe?)... I suspect the problem is with the hard drive/controller, so here's more info on those: Disk: 1224 cylinders, 15 heads, (35,36) RLL sectors/track Supposedly with ESDI you set the CMOS bios to drive type 1 no matter what. The bios doesn't support user defined hard drive types, just a stock list (all less than 1024 cylinders, hum..). The controller bios (debug, g=c800:5) lets you set special options, either 17spt, 63spt, or no translation at all. I've tried all of these with exactly the same results. Just to check out the drive I installed DOS 5.0 on it, and it formats fine. I searched the mailinglist archives and couldn't find anything specific about this. I'm at a dead end on this one with a deadline to meet . Any ideas?

I setup an anonymous FTP client, but I would rather setup an ordinary FTP client that would log through the user/passwd scheme. This client should not be allowed anywhere but the the directory where we hold the downloadable files we use to measure the performance of cable modems on the field. The setup was straightforward. I closely follow the instructions, along with the manual (man descriptions). I setup an anonymous client that created the directory structure I needed automatically (incoming, pub, etc, bin) along with all the necessary files. I modified the FTPUSER file to include the ANONYMOUS user, so the systen would deny anonymous access. I created a file named FTPCHROOT and included in it a client TECH so it would follow an anonymous client behavior with the same restricted privilege. Everything is just fine, execpt in one point: When the user TECH logs in, he does not see any directory nor file informations; just a blank screen. LS and CD are useless. Nothing seem to happen. I uploaded a file, and checked the server: the file appeared on the server. But nothing on the client side. I just cant see files. What's wrong ? Please help.

I'd have thought that the firmware would recognise a tape written in compressed format. You might try playing around with the density codes (they should be available in you manual, or failing that they can be found somewhere in the compression support section at www.exabyte.com). These can be used with the `mt density' command, and can be used to select compression modes etc. John ----------------------------------------------------- John McLaughlin | Acucobol Ireland Ltd IS Manager, Europe | Burlington House e-Mail: jmcl@acucobol.ie | Waterloo Lane WWW: http://www.acucobol.com| Dublin4, Ireland | Ph: +353 1 6676166 | Fax: +353 1 6676130 ----------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 05:53:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id FAA03515 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 05:53:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from iglou2 (exim@iglou2.iglou.com [192.107.41.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id FAA03509 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 05:53:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from patrick@cre8tivegroup.com) Received: from gateway.cre8tivegroup.com [204.255.227.120] by iglou2 with smtp (8.7.3/8.6.12) id 0xZywz-0003KB-00; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:53:22 -0500 Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.1 [p0] on FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:52:36 -0500 (EST) Organization: The Creative Group From: Patrick Gardella To: sporkl@dti.net Subject: RE: Upclocking Cc: freebsd questions Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is a *touchy* issue.

I specified that "NMBCLUSTERS=4096". Does this mean that the system has 4096 Mbuf clusters available? 2. If #1 is yes, then why did I get an "out of mbuf clusters" error when the system had only used 1136? (I was reading the numbers correctly, I just explained it poorly :-) ) 3. Does the generic kernel (with max users set to 100 and maxmem set to 96megs) allocate more mbufs than my custom kernel with maxusers set to 128 and NMBCLUSTERS set to 4096? The reason I ask this is because the slightly modified kernel was able to attain a maximum of 2318 mbufs where as the modified kernel was only able to get to 1136. 4. What would you suggest I set NMBCLUSTERS and/or maxusers to?

Kernel rebuilding is a minor task in FreeBSD and is part of its installation and no more difficult than any other part. It takes only a few minutes to configure the kernel build config file to recognize your memory, and less than an hour (on a P150 w/64 mb, not your steroid machines) to recompile and install. I think that's a lot less programmer time than NT'ds menus take, let alone their config files. That done, my P150 could blow any of your PPro180's off the block as a webserver. I should add that I am not a UNIX guru, have only been using FreeBSD for less than 2 years as a small portion of my job. That said, the article was reasonably unbiased and well written. I enjoyed its insightful comparisons, and learned perhaps a little of what I'm missing by not buying BSDi or SCO, although I'd be missing a whole lot of cash, too. I think that fairness would dictate that you do a follow-up that allows each server to be tweaked by its OS experts for 6 hours (by hand... no super turn-it-inside-out scripts) after being installed out-of-the-box, and then re-run your tests. You also should stipulate that there be no asynchronous disk writes unless everybody is allowed to do so. Linux uses async mounting, and it gives them a catch-up but it is dangerous on a real-world server, no matter how good your UPS.

What would you suggest I set NMBCLUSTERS and/or maxusers to? 4096 and 128 is probably fine for a medium loaded WWW server.

So where do I get them? 1. Mount CDROM with packages tree on it (I think it's on Disc 1, 2.1.5 is over two years old!) 2. cd /cdrom/packages/category 3.

The ports system provides an automated way to build a package from it's original source; the packages tree does that already and bundles up the results. Packages are nice if you don't have the space to compile and/or the CPU power to build, and are willing to accept any build-time default options. The ports tree gives you more freedom but you have to actually build the program.

I forgot to try this when I swiped our spare Zip. I think it should work OK if the ZIP is either DOS-formatted or BSD-formatted. In the DOS case it should think it's a DOS hard disk and give you the option in DOS install. For the BSD case I think it should treat it as a UFS install. In both cases you must have the cart in the drive at boot time.

Any thoughts/comments? The Ultra33 drives are OK, they'll run fine in standard mode. If you really want to tap them you have to run -current.

The GUS PnP series is quite well supported BUT the GUS is no longer in production. :-( Next step is the Crystal CS4231 cards.

Maybe eventually, we can run exactly the same kernel, but there is necessarily more overhead in an SMP kernel. (I like the SMP's utilization of the APIC, mitigating some of the limitations of the ISA IRQ scheme. It might be nice to use them on a UP kernel.) -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 12:14:13 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id MAA00790 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA00778 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id MAA12943; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 12:14:07 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White Reply-To: Doug White To: Jason Alan Nordwick cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: cannot add new disk In-Reply-To: <199711212136.NAA05008@graft.XCF.Berkeley.EDU> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Fri, 21 Nov 1997, Jason Alan Nordwick wrote: > > running -2.2 I have been trying to add a new drive to my system. > I read the FAQ question and think that I have done everything correctly, > but I get these magic number errors and newfs says that the device > is not configures, here is what I do: I would highly suggest referencing http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ for information.

Apparently this problem is unique with the Intel Atlanta board where the latest bios is not passing the boot drive number along to the bootstrap code (I hope I worded this right...). A gentleman passed along a patch to the biosboot code which takes care of this problem by forcing it to boot off the primary drive (drive 0x80). This fixed my problem and I am now cruising happily along at 300MHz :-).

Yes, however you'll need a pretty old version of the guspnp package since around rev 17 they based off of -current instead of 2.2.x. I have guspnp11 which works great; I can make that available should you need it.

Run top while running netscape and keep an eye on it's memory footprint and swap usage. You may have too little swap. Also try upgrading to 3.04; I wonder if 3.01 had a memory leak.

This depends on how the Kayak presents the disks. If it presents them as two separate disks, you'll need to figure out what's where. If it treats all the disks in the array as one gigantic disk, you need to figure out where you other disk came from. > Was I right in thinking so, or is there no danger by installing > FreeBSD? Use FDISK and get a good idea of what's where, then try again. You may find it helpful to look at the boot probes and see what was assigned to what; hit SCROLL-LOCK then use the arrow keys from the main install menu.

I've had the identical problem when I had a point-to-point Ethernet with an OS/2 box and a FreeBSD machine. It's all a matter of routing. I'd suggest checking out the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/ and see if that gives you any insight.

How to boot other OS's on a disk other than the one NT is on by copying the boot sector of the disk to a file and referencing it in Windows NT boot.ini does not seem to work unless the other OS's boot partition resides on the same disk as NT. Mine doesn't. I tried anyway, and my system will not boot. I attempted to put a standard (no prompt) boot loader on disk1 (or disk2) and it didn't work either. I was using the /stand/sysintall utility. I managed to get my system booting by using the FreeBSD boot disk and entering 1:sd(1,a)/kernel at the floppy boot prompt. I guess what I really want to do is to install a boot loader on disk0 that does exactly what I manually entered so that the NT boot loader is not displayed. At this time I should be able to copy the boot sector from drive 0 and copy it to a file, then restore the original boot sector of disk0 and reference the file I just created in Windows NT boot.ini. Is this warped thinking? I have looked at all the FAQ's I can and done searches on the mailing list archives and was able to find very detailed instructions and theory on how to boot FreeBSD from the NT boot loader if FreeBSD is on the same disk as NT. I also do not trust sysinstall to do the right thing every time. There must be a manual (configurable) way to install a boot loader explicitly telling it which drive to load the kernel from, but I just cannot find it. In my mind, my solution should be simple, but finding documentation seems to be my biggest problem.

So far I'm impressed with this solution and speed. However, right now I have one big logical 13GIG drive. When I tried breaking this down into reasonable sizes I ran out of allowable device names. Trying to make additional devices (IE MAKEDEV sd0s1i) doesn't seem allowable (wipes out all the other sds1x devices too). So Instead, the RAID system has the ability to separate out logical devices into mulitple LUNs. Doing this however, doesn't work as it looks like FreeBSD doesn't support multiple LUNs as only LUN 0 shows up. I'd much perfer to make more devices instead of LUNs anyways. How do you make more SCSI devices for a single physical drive then what is currently a default of what appears to be 6? Or if that's not possible, is there a multiple LUN support option I'm missing somewhere? My controller is a 2940UW in case that matters.

I was running TOP at the same time which said I had plenty of free memory, ~50MB (It's REALLY hard to believe that running only AccelX, top, pppd and Netscape w/ no other users logged in that I could consume 128MB of memory and not touch my swap file!). What bought me a few extra pages was to blast both my memory and disk caches. Unfortunately that's only a band-aid which doesn't last very long before Netscape starts whining again. My long term solution was to stop surfing when I reached that point (kinda used it as a timer to limit my web surfing :-) ). (BTW, yes I did rebuild my kernel w/ MAXMEM=131072 and top was able to see all my memory) - - burton - On Mon, 24 Nov 1997, Doug White wrote: > On Fri, 21 Nov 1997, Alan Char wrote: > > > I just got FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM and upgraded from > > 2.2.2.

So I decided to get down and dirty and hack the kernel.. Well with the help of the debugger and alittle poking around I found it.. The debugger reported: Stop at identblue+0x31: wrmsr Trace showed: identblue() finishidentcpu() init386() I went into sys/i386/386/identcpu.c and changed the identblue() function to always return 0 (as i know my Chip isn't a blue lighting). My kernel now boots fine and I haven't seen any ill effects from it yet.. the CPU is also detected properly Altho the Speed is alittle slow. But I don't understand how that is calculated so I'll leave it up to the real hackers :) Hope that helps someone..

I have pretty much screwed myself I think. In trying to get all the X source in the right place, I mangled everything in the file structer after /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ and after /usr/include/X11/. What should be in either one of those directories is in one, the other, or both. This is bad. When I got sick of trying to save this for two hours, I went and had dinner, relaxed, etc. I came back, started X, (using twm) and *everything is monochrome*. I don't know how this happened, but twm says that all the colors defined in my system.twmrc are undefined. I must have put the color declaration files in the wrong place, or worse, deleted them. I can live with mono X for now, but could you tell me what exactly should be in the directories directly mounted on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/, and what files define my colors? Thank you, I hope I don't have to re-install X, but at least I haver time off for thanksgiving to fix this. 8-( -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "Tradition is the chastity belt of the mind" From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Nov 24 17:43:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id RAA24433 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:43:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) Received: from implode.root.com (implode.root.com [198.145.90.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id RAA24416 for ; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:43:36 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from root@implode.root.com) Received: from implode.root.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by implode.root.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA11645; Mon, 24 Nov 1997 17:45:11 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199711250145.RAA11645@implode.root.com> To: Burton Sampley cc: Alan Char , questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 2.2.5 out of memory?

If you dont have a NMBCLUSTERS= line then they are set to (512 + MAXUSERS * 16). nmbufs are then set to 4 times that amount. GENERIC with 100 users would have (512 + 100 * 16) * 4 = 8448 nmbufs.

Rhapsody is meant to ship with BSD 4.4, NeXT currently ships with BSD 4.3 (I think) and so these should be fairly similar. MkLinux is a version of Linux.

You cannot create a FreeBSD partition (slice in FreeBSD-ese) within a DOS extended partition. You need to resize the extended partition so that the free space is truly free, and in its own DOS partition. As I understand it, you should also be sure that the FreeBSD slice is close enough to the beginning of the disk to allow you to put / (the root filesystem, approx. 32M) completely within the first 504 megs of hard disk. Therefore the first DOS partition should not be larger than 470 megs. I realize this kind of repartitioning is not a trivial task, but this is what needs to be done to get it going.

The installer shows me the "unused" portion of the disk, The problem is you don't have any free space. FreeBSD needs it's own partition and it looks like all your space is allocated to the 2 dos/nt partitions. You'll need to use one of the partition tools to shrink your nt partition so you have room to create a FreeBSD partition.

I created a new home directory in /usr/home using a backup from previous FreeBSD releases. Then I edited /etc/passwd to indicate the correct home directory.

What a waste. Buy an multiport shared interrupt serial card instead. http://www.byterunner.com sells an 8-port version for about $150 and a 4-port version for about $75. They work with FreeBSD and the stock SIO driver. >But he is unsure that it is that simple in FBsd UNIX. The SIO man page explains how to set up a multiport shared interrupt card like the ones byterunner sells. It's a hard read at first, but I can send you a sample kernel config if you can't go it alone with the man page.

Why will they not just delivered as fully .tar.gz ? I hate to do a make and the port can't get all sources because the line's dead or too slow etc. Maybe there is a source for all ports which are making out of the box even on a non-networked machine, but I don't know where to find the stuff. As long as the ports-situation is that bad (maybe there are people who like it that way, maybe it's easier for them, I really hate this), I'm trying to get the source and compile by myself. This saves a lot of time which would be spent by waiting to get the real sources from freebsd.org after doing a make. Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!

If you're looking to add more than two and have lots of devices installed, you may want to look into the shared IRQ serial boards. There are several cheap ones available and FreeBSD supports them nicely.

WEll, what are you trying to do? What commands are you using? Note that it will spit that out when you intially disklabel since no partition table exists on a shiny new ccd.

I don't either; try runing `bootinst.exe' off of the /tools directory on the CDROM or ftp site. Bring boot.bin with you. That is the manual way to install booteasy.

Unfortunately System Commander has bugs that break the FreeBSD bootblocks (it twiddles bit 4 in the system id), and FreeBSD expects that to be 0xA5 and nothing else. SysCommander changes it to 0xB5 for some twisted reason.
