Ensure you have automatic write reallocation enabled in the disk's error recovery page (page 1; check it with "scsi -f /dev/rsd?.ctl -m 1" and do "man 8 scsi" to see how to permanently change it). You usually want auto read reallocation enabled also. Then dd from /dev/zero to the partition. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

You pretty much have to get the values correct the first time you write the label because disktab bitches when you try to relabel the disk (and will not let you) when it happens to move the "c" partition significantly. Once we were able to clobber the existing label, using dd, we were able to rerun disklabel. We were forced to deal with the cryptic nonsense of disktab. So, is there a way to use scsi(8) commands to have a disk spew back data about its physical characterstics (heads, sectors/track, blah blah)?

I've got one more problem I need help with (hopefully the last). I've set up UUCP to a linux machine, and I'm finding that uucico fails miserably due to too many checksum errors. I've tried protocols i and g, and they both suffer from the same problem. I've made sure that XON/XOFF flow control was off, and that CTS/RTS flow control was on. I did this by checking stty on my /dev/cua* device, which listed "-ixon -ixoff crtscts". I also send a command to my modem when dialling that explicitly sets CTS/RTS flow control on, and XON/XOFF flow control off. I've tried varying the packet size and window size, but I still find the same problem. I've also varied the DTE baud rate with no success. I used to run linux UUCP to this same site without any problems, and with the same protocol, packet size and window size that FreeBSD is trying now. I never used to get bad checksums. The end result is that I can only transfer a few hundred, or thousand bytes before uucico gives up altogether. Linux used to give me around 1300 bytes/sec, whereas with FreeBSD I'm getting a dismal 150 bytes/sec because of all the errors. If this is any help, I turned the uucico debugging on, and the Debug file was left full of bad checksum messages. It also listed the data it received at each step, and I found that there were bytes missing from the stream... I could tell because mail is usually sent as plain text, and I could see that with a packet size of 64 around 10 bytes go missing, and the next packet header is mistakenly taken to be data. I've no idea how this comes about. Please help!

Boot with the verbose flag (by specifying -v at the boot prompt) and you'll get that info printed out. You can also check the format device page (page 3) and the geometry page (page 4) to find how the drive is setup; use "scsi -f /dev/rsd?.ctl -m 3" (and 4) to read those two pages. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.

I'm actually seeing a similar occurrence with a local ISP; they're losing characters on both input and output (under both 2.0.5 and 2.1-STABLE) on 16550 ports. The short-term fix for them is to disable the fifos and run as though they were '450s. (Set the flags value for the ports to 0x02) These 550's are on 4-port cards, no IRQ or port conflicts. The machine is a little starved for memory, but still generates _no_ console messages to explain this symptom. The UARTs are a mix of several different brands, so I'm not sure that this is a hardware bogon. > Raoul -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

I'm running 2.1.0-950928-SNAP on a p5-100 machine with 16 mb ram, 42 mb swap. When I was using the machine, I had a few things compiling at once, and so were a few of my users. All of a sudden the machine locked up after I switched virtual consoles. This time screen saver was not enabled at all, nor was XWindows. After investigating this problem further, I notice that when I use a lot of ram (disk processes), some things get thrown in infinite swap space and never is drawn out (apparently.) What I am thinking the problem may be with that the keyboard driver/daemon is thrown in the swap space and "dies". I know a few of my programs get thrown there and they never resume processing for some odd reason, even if memory requirements reduce. =( I guess the only way to fix this right now is to buy more memory...

I use FreeBSD 2.0.5 as my news/mail feed; it receives a full USENET feed over uucp; and a pretty good bit of mail traffic. There are several types of machines connected to it via UUCP, at any time I've had as many as 3 Linux boxes talking to it with no trouble (one was getting a pretty full feed itself.) I did have troubles a year ago with the 'i' protocol to that particular Linux box; but we determined it was something wrong with Linux at his end (the 'i' worked well with Taylor UUCP running on a Sun, for example.) Also, the UUCP both FreeBSD and Linux uses (Taylor UUCP) is more than likely the exact same software; so I doubt the problem is there. I'd start looking into phone line problems; modem problems, etc... try lowering the connection speed and see if that improves things. Try using different modems, etc... Also, is this a direct dail-up connection to the Linux box, or is it going through a terminal server of some kind? [I've had problems in the past with Micom servers doing strange things.] Let me know if I can offer more precise help. - Dave Rivers - From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Oct 16 10:22:11 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA14658 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 16 Oct 1995 10:22:11 -0700 Received: from news.us.world.net (news.us.world.net [192.243.32.19]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA14653 for ; Mon, 16 Oct 1995 10:22:08 -0700 Received: from merix.merix.com (merix.com [198.145.172.40]) by news.us.world.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id KAA28496 for ; Mon, 16 Oct 1995 10:22:10 -0700 Received: from sandy.merix.com by merix.merix.com (4.1/1.1) id AA09182; Mon, 16 Oct 95 10:20:21 PDT Received: by sandy.merix.com (4.1/8.0) id AA27647; Mon, 16 Oct 95 10:21:09 PDT Date: Mon, 16 Oct 95 10:21:09 PDT From: troyc@sandy.merix.com (Troy Curtiss) Message-Id: <9510161721.AA27647@sandy.merix.com> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ATAPI CDROM stuff missing in 2.1.0-951005-SNAP??

Some modems ignore this when error checking is turned on. Specifically, many non-Microcomm el-cheapo MNP capable modems (for instance) do not have enough RAM to adequately maintain compression buffers without flow control. Also, it may not be your modem. It could be the other end. It may not be your xon/xoff. It could be the other end. What data rate are you running, and is it over long distance? Only AT&T and TelAmerica use high-speed modem friendly multiplexing. If you connect using an LD service that uses ATM & Leaky Bucket, your modem communications will suffer. Finally, are your modems on both ends at 8N1? Some modems will do parity matching when they are first connected to, at which point you are screwed for all further binary communications through them.

We do a great deal of UUCP here and have just completed a project to use large packet sizes with national ISDN access for our WinNET windows uucp front end. FreeBSD delivers performance very close to the theoretical maximums, even with all of our modem lights flashing. (I know most people are not excited by UUCP, but it is a truely awesome sight if you've been doing it using other supposedly "high performance" [more expensive] solutions) Nearly all of our uucp traffic goes into our FreeBSD servers via rlogin from annex and portmaster boxes. Here are some random things to check: 1. Sometimes people will have a motherboard com1/2 that is not disabled when they have an additional com card with 16550's on it. 2. IRQ sharing can sometimes cause this. 3. Not enough swap space or other system resource wall issues can cause this. 4. A cable that does not carry the hardware cts/rts flow control can cause this. 5. Some other high interrupt activity on the ISA bus can cause this. 6. NEC 386sx-16 motherboards have an IRQ flaw which causes this. 7. We have had problems on VESA local bus motherboards where the serial i/o is on a VESA card. The clock rate of the bus is above 33 MHZ. If you have an AMD 486dx2/80 and your com ports are on a VESA local bus IDE controller you will see this problem.

Any > ideas please write to jagnew@csugrad.cs.vt.edu. You are right about the problem, released versions of FreeBSD don't support "extended" DOS partitions. However, you cannot convert an "extended" DOS partition easily into a "primary" partition, and if you did, you would only be able to see one of them at a time (if my memory of the rules of DOS partitions is correct). > H.

I've been sitting on this one too; SLiRP under 2.0.5-RELEASE seems to cause random panics/lockups/reboots, but only under _very_ restricted circumstances. My sample space was a single local ISP; they had _one_ user (WfW/Trumpet winsock) whose (innocuous, we watched them) behaviour patterns, modem, PPP configs, whatever, would sometimes cause SLiRP to kill the machine. We could find no meaningful cause for the crashes, but obviously intense debugging with a live system wasn't practical. > Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!

I'm working on configuring an NE2000-compatible ethernet card into my FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE system (and I'm putting the network together at the same time, making things really easy on myself), and I'm having an odd difficulty. When I try to connect from a DOS PC running NCSA telnet it spews a bunch of arp requests, which seem to be answered (according to tcpdump anyway, although I'm not sure that the PC sees them). What's odd is the large number (some 2000+) of copies of the following message: Oct 16 20:44:18 exit /kernel: arplookup 226.203.0.2 failed: could not allocate llinfo This is emitted when RTF_LLINFO isn't set in rt_flags, but I've looked around and can see no obvious reason for this flag not being set. I guess I could have something misconfigured, but I have no idea what that might be. Every telnet attempt from the PC fails, but I'm not sure whether it fails due to this problem or due to it never seeing the arp reply. (Unfortunately, I don't have a sniffer or third running PC [just a pile of parts, that's _almost_ a PC] to figure out which.)

That last (explicit FS names) does little good in IRIX 4.x; you still get the timeouts even for fs's not mentioned in the args (at least we do all soft,bg mounts at that place; there are lots of nfs mounts and normally at least one is down any given time :-) (actually soft mounts are a bit dangerous in irix since they default to async, but normally it doesn't seem to hurt us.) Don't know about other sysv variants; most of SGI's network code is pretty direct from BSD anyhow and not sysv. I'd hope it helps FreeBSD correctly. Soft mounts are still annoying for 'df'; our timeout is set pretty long. Something that bothers me in freebsd is that you can't force-unmount a dead hard mount; we should have some provision for that since it leads to unnecessary dirty reboots. SGI did that one 'right' (it does wait an inordinate amount of time, like 3-5 minutes per mount, but at least it unmounts even with a dead server).

I noticed the lack of respect for the FORCE flag early on; It's a difficult issue, with client caching, and it's largely unnecessary for local file systems. For local file systems, the problem is one of invalidating the FD; it's tied up in the open file struct bogosties. I think it'd be OK to fixup NFS, leaving the others for later.

I got some good responses about 8mm drives (thanks!) but I think what I really need to know is this: does FreeBSD handle End-Of-Tape properly? On SunOS4.x the driver didn't handle end-of-tape (got a write error) so dump had to guess how long the tape was. Sun fixed this in Solaris 2.x but does the FreeBSD tape driver (and dump) work correctly? Can I put an 8mm tape stacker on FreeBSD and have it work correctly in sequential mode (i.e. at EOT the current tape kicks out, automatically loads the next and dump continues writing)? Does a stacker in sequential mode work, without all the fancy EOT stuff described above?

(not saying that the info isn't there, but that I am too dumb to find it) I am trying to create a small ramdrive. About 4 megs to be exact. I have recompiled the kernel with options MFS, and now I have the device entries that (i guess) I need? /dev/wd1b? I don't really understand what devices should be used --or how to configure them. I tried a: mount_mfs -s 8096 /dev/wd1b /ramdrive which only told me that the device was not configured. If their is any detailed documentation on how all this works, I'm sure that if I read it I wouldn't be needing to ask these rudimentary simple questions. I tried looking through the MAN pages, and the FreeBSD manual --which gave me more detailed answers to mount_mfs'ing /tmp than anything else that I found.

Anyways, I have it installed into an external unit, connected to the IOMEGA Zip-Drive SCSI controller card. >From the online material I got from http://www.quantum.com, I was able to decipher the factory default settings: PK = spare = off TE = Termination Enable = ON A2 = ON, A1 = ON, A0=OFF, so my SCSI ID = 6 By the way, The cable from my IOMEGA Controller card is a Male D25 to 50-pin Male Centronics. The Terminator which I am using costs me $4.95 at the local computer discount store. Problem: Drive is not recogized at start up. I ran the IOMEGA SCSICFG (Scsi Config) utility to probe for the hard disk, but it was not detected... Questions: 1. Is this particular Quantum drive a Fast SCSI-2 Drive? 2. Am I using the correct type of terminator? [$4.95 is too cheap??] I apologize for these silly questions. I'm breaking into the world of SCSI and leaving IDE behind...

Your best bet is probably to look at the sources of the ones that already exist. Be aware that there is quite a bit of magic going on with the VFS LKMs, so you should probably look at something simpler like the discard driver. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to bring those changes back into 2.0.5. The matcd driver is not designed to handle IDE devices, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work for you. I would suggest waiting until 2.1-RELEASE before moving your server away from Linux. You will also want to ensure that the ATAPI support in that release works for your CDROM drive (its really BETA if you know what I mean). 2.1-RELEASE should be availible in a couple weeks. >%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% >% Address: Gheorghe ARDELEAN >% West Univ.

For example, printing to a printer such as an HPIIIsi that uses a JetDirect card. Because text filters (if=) entries in printcap files are ignored for remote printers, and because ethernet interface cards such as the JetDirect do not offer filter capabilities, you have to install a fake printer on your machine that acts as a local printer (one with something like lp=/dev/null) and that has a filter script that passes off the filter output to the real remote printer. I beat my head against the wall when I first installed FreeBSD until I found some reference to the above fix in the news archives (wasn't easy to find).

I got a reply back from Matt Bush (xomox@boris.eden.com) saying to use "stty -f flushout" to drain the output queue. That solved the problem immediately.

A book on the order of "The Design and implementation of 4.4 BSD UNIX" would take 3-5 people in excess of a year to write and get published. Anything less is too transient to really matter (or be worth someone's time). Given the timing on all this, that would mean that perhaps a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 book could be ready by now... and have no market. Kernel programming books require very specific *working* examples; the install books, etc. for Linux are basically hack jobs of FAQ and "HowTo" information, with some rip-offs of the less outdated information. I'd guess 2-3 months with an advance royalty and a publisher prearrangement to get something for FreeBSD on the order of one of the Linux books. It'd be trash, it'd probably sell, but I wouldn't want my name on the cover. Maybe I'll write one under a pseudonym, like "Peter Norton". "Peter Norton's guide to FreeBSD". 8-). Tell me: seen any good books on Linux kernel programming lately? How about "The Linux Programming Environment", for user space programmers? For the most part, the source code contains good documentation in the form of comments. If you have a specific question, there are the mailing lists or the address of the person named in the id string on freebsd.org.

Just because someone is mentioned in the $Id$ string does not mean that he has any special knowledge about the source file in question; there are still a large number of files in the kernel that have rgrimes listed in them because he deleted the whitespace at the ends of lines in those files. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Could somebody find > it within their hearts to point me to a source of relevant information on the > subject? Here are some script's I've modified to do SLIP on FreeBSD. However, they currently are set up to deal with a staticly assigned IP number. Because of this, they assume you've already added necessary routes to your routing table as well as ifconfiged your slip interface for the appropriate IP before running slip-on script. To handle a dynamic IP, you'll need to stick a "read a_line" command after the chat command (or between a few chat commands) to yank the IP number printed by the dial-in server off into a variable. Once you have this, you can then ifconfig your slip interface and add your routes appropriately before kicking off slattach. Hope this helps.

The setup goes by so quickly (even for 8 vty's), you'll hardly notice it. My /etc/rc.i386 script loads in the 80x50 font (if it exists), scans /dev for virtual consoles, sets each one to 50 lines and a full-height block cursor, then drops me into ttyv1.

As it turns out, it was a noisy line that was causing the problems. What threw my off was that I had previously been running Linux UUCP on the same line without any hassles. Probably the line deteriorated recently, or perhaps something else made the difference - I don't know. In any case, problem solved. Many thanks to you all. FreeBSD is certainly a joy to run!

ERRR??? AV means ``Audio/Video'' (or something), and they do strange things (probably have a whacking great big on-board cache) so that when the drive auto-recalibrates it doesn't slow down any transfers too much, so that digital audio/video applications won't notice the disk going off and doing housekeeping. Hence, they are normally (at least) 5% >>MORE<< than the ordinary drives. >Any recommendation on which of the above are known for good/bad >performance/reliability ? news.cdrom.com has a 9.1Gb Micropolis 1991 in it. Seems to do the job, and with our news feed it gets the socks knocked off of it fairly much 24 hours a day. It does have a (note: one. Not bad out of 9Gb :-) ) sector error now which I haven't had a chance to look into properly, but I'd imagine that auto-remapping isn't enabled for some reason. I would make one comment: throwing a lot of data onto a 9Gb drive and then random accessing it is possibly not the hottest of ideas. 2 4Gb drives would be a lot better (esp. as you tend to get 4Gb drives with higher spindle speeds than most 9Gb drives). I think that if I had to rebuild the news server for some reason, I'd do that, despite the fact it would possibly make management more difficult.

Check the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/host.conf - they should be similar to the following: bmk@everest (1) % more /etc/resolv.conf domain dtr.com nameserver 204.119.48.34 nameserver rip.psg.com bmk@everest (2) % more /etc/host.conf hosts bind If you use domain names in resolv.conf, they should appear in your /etc/hosts file and 'hosts' should be before 'bind' in /etc/host.conf.

You'd have to be able to back out specific long delay operations by process ID. Consider the case of multiple sleepers on a single address of a long delay operation, one of which you want to kill (and thus "wakeup" to take the kill) and one of which you don't. This actually means the flush "soloution" is bogus. The problem is in the state transitions being unidirectional: there are some operations which must run to completion by virtue of the structure used to implement them. You have to transit several states A->B->C->D to get to a point where the state is determinate and the operation can be backed out. If you block in A->B or B->C, for instance, there is no way to recover state. That all said, there are some places where it's not really required by the design, only by the implementation. CTS/RTS on serial ports is one good example. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.

Not all AV implementations use cache. Most, in fact, skip the thermal recalibration, reducing the MTBF for the drive.

In my experience, AV drives are less reliable, a trade-off for real-time streaming response -- not a typical concern for your average non-AV user.

I've seen mentions that I could use slice 5 and up for the "Logical"/"Extended" slices (or whatever they're called). So, I did a /dev/MAKEDEV wd1s5h to get the device files made for it. Now, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. 1) Will this work? 2) If so, how do I find out what to stick in a disklabel for my wd1s5 slice? It seems the FreeBSD fdisk doesn't tell me how many sectors are in that slice (do I need to go run the DOS fdisk? or do I need to reinstall Linux to use its fdisk? or do 'dd if=/dev/rwd1s5 of=/dev/null bs=512' and see what it tells me for number of blocks copied?) 3) Armed with appropriate #sectors info, I assume I just go add a disktab entry with a 'c' partition, do a disklabel write, then do a disklabel edit to get it right (or something along those lines). Couldn't there be some tool that could be run to deal with the details (along the lines of /stand/sysinstall's partitioning) or at least query the size of the slice and lay down a disklabel with the 'c' partitioned defined? 4) Or should I just use a 'vn' device to add a random file as swap space? Is there a performance hit to using a file instead of a swap partition?

They use a passwd file created in a directory associate to a specific kind of access. All my daemon work with the crypt call from DES and they also use the setpwfile common to the old BSD system. Now, I want to create a backup machine for this sun on a PC with FreeBSD 2.0.5R. I just configure this machine and install DES. What I need to be all set is the way to configure BSD to use passwd file like sunos do (crypted password in the file passwd) and to have a setpwfile command. Is it possible to do that and how can I do that? Thank you very much. I'll send a message with the final solution if it's not already documented somewhere (point me to this document if available).

This is 38.9% faster. OK, it's pretty clear now that I might have a mysteriously slow component to my system's network (?) throughput. How do I find it? I've got ISDN, usually at 64kb/sec but BOND-able to 128kb/sec connected to a pipeline-50 which is spewing ethernet to a 10BaseT hub. My machine is on the hub with one other machine now. I've got a Linksys Ether 16 NE2000 card hanging off the ISA bus. At 64k ftp suggests a sustained rate of about: 41539 bytes received in 23 seconds (1.8 Kbytes/s) 1936621 bytes received in 8.9e+02 seconds (2.1 Kbytes/s) It is somewhat slow, isn't it? What's the slow part of this equation? ISDN, P-50, ether, ISA, or writing to my IDE disks (WD 31000)? I suspect that the ether card on the ISA bus is the slow part here. However, when I get a 128k line, I *do* get about 4k/sec throughput. Does this fact alone point at, like, the IDE disk. How can I find out? Ie, which performance monitoring tool or benchmark should I run to really place the blame? :-) What piece of this picture should I replace first? If I wanted to improve things, and was thinking about a PCI SCSI card anyways (tape backup), what might I do? (I also have a 3Com Etherlink III lovely 3c509B on hand too.)

I understand that FreeBSD doesn't have NFS locking yet so I was trying to think of ways to get around the obvious problem. Currently, we have set up a mail hub and all "client" machines just forward incoming mail to it - hence there is only one machine's sendmail writing to the spool which is a disk local to that machine (i.e. that it can lock). So as far as delivery is concerned, I think we are OK. But I see a remaining problem where clients nfs mount the mail spool directory and mail user agents not running on the mail hub could have problems with the mail hub's sendmail process. Any suggestions? The only thing I could think of was to see if sendmail could support lock files (instead of flock/lockf) and only allow mail user agents that adhere to the same lock file protocol. Of course, it seems like there still could be problems because of nfs client side caching. How do you guys get around this problem?

I've tried to correctly modify the /etc/remote, /etc/phones & /etc/modems files, but still have yet to get a dial tone. I'm using a USR Sportster 14.4 V.42 Luckily, the sportster is listed in one of the /etc files. My /dev files include cuaa[0-3]. There are no /dev/com? files there, as listed in some of the faq's. Also. I've tried to make a /dev/modem symbolic link to /dev/cuaa3, but in kermit, when I "set line /dev/cuaa3" or "set line /dev/modem" I get ".. Device not configured". "set line /dev/cuaa0" does allow kermit to attempt dialing, of course that won't get me a dial tone. My com port in DOS (my only working connection) is com4. I've also looked in the /etc/uucp directory, changed a few things there, but no luck. Does anyone here have any suggestions on the configuration of the comm programs? I'm certainly willing to learn how to use kermit, it looks like fun. That said, does minicom run on FreeBSD? I haven't seen it at the distribution sites.

Device not configured" means that your kernel does not support or did not find a 4th comm port. you can confirm this by reading the output of /sbin/dmesg. you are looking for: 'sio3 not found at 0x2e8' meaning that the comm port was not found. 'sio3 at 0x2e8-0x2ef irq X on isa' meaning that the comm port was found or not reference to sio3 at all, meaning that the kernel does not support a 4th comm port, and you need to rebuild a kernel.

For 80x50 or 80x60, you will need an 8x8 font, for 80x30 an 8x14 font, and to replace the 80x25 font, specify an 8x16 font. 3) Reboot. You can also load fonts on the fly; see the 'vidcontrol' manpage. 4) Select your desired video mode with 'vidcontrol', eg. 'vidcontrol VGA_80x50' This is really about as trivial as it gets 8) If you want to have your virtual consoles default to 80x50 without you having to do this yourself, you can try this : Put this in /usr/local/libexec/gettywrap #!/bin/sh # # Frob video modes and exec arguments # vidcontrol -r white blue vidcontrol VGA_80x50 exec $* make sure it's chmodded 500 and owned by root. Then in /etc/ttys, edit the getty fields in the entries for your ttyv* ports to read : "/usr/local/libexec/gettywrap /usr/local/libexec/getty Pc" I would advice against doing this on ttyv0, as fiddling with the console is a Bad Idea in general.

It has a single spin SCSI Toshiba cdrom on an adaptec 1542. The boot disk is an IDE. When it boots and mounts the cd at /cdrom it seems to create a file in the root directory called /cdrom with the following stats -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 May 1 20:00 cdrom mount says that the cd is mounted, ie /dev/cd0a on /cdrom (local,read-only) but I can't access the cd. Nor can I un mount it by typing 'unmount /cdrom' but 'unmount /dev/cd0a' works and suddenly /cdrom becomes a directory again! Everything was fine until I was copying a large archive to a floppy mounted at /mnt and (foolishly) typed 'ls /mnt' from another xterm. This seemed to create a deadlock on the floppy. The drive light went out, and neither the ls nor the cp would stop or go into the background. I quit from X & tried kill -9 to no avail. So in despair I sync-ed the disks & typed reboot. The machine waited on syncing disks for ages, so I reset it. What can I do to get my cd back? I await your wisdom.

I wanted to dual boot FreeBSD and Windows 95. In the end I had to boot a DOS floppy and run pfdisk. Besides that the installtion, over PPP, went smoothly and yesterday I was happy to see how fast it could recompile the kernel. Wow! So thanks to those who gave me advice - I am very happy with the system. I'd also like to thank whoever is responsible for the install program. The ability to reconfigure devices in the generic kernel and installing over PPP is just so good. The first time I installed 386bsd I had to edit the kernel binary and copy a bucket full of floppies. Hats off to the FreeBSD team. They've done a fine job. Regards, Dave.

He already is running MoneySoft DOS/Windozzzze, and he would like to add a FreeBSD partiion. His machine has the following features: AMBRA - American Megatrend (AMI) bios, dated 1992 Has a regular I.D.E. controller card Has a Western Digital 1.28Gig Caviar HDD as the master Has an IDE CD-ROM connected to the Controller card as "SLAVE" Obviously, because of the old bios, he has to use "Ontrack Disk Manager" to even get DOS running. He cannot seem to locate the BIOS chipset on this particular No-name motherboard. The most logical choice would be to buy an EIDE board and hopefully, the board's bios will take over. To those of you who have ran into the bios' limit of 528Meg, what kind of EIDE board(s) did you get? We would appreciate any insight that you may share with us. Thankx, T.

FTP is not a very good way to measure raw throughput, particularly for such small data sizes where connection-setup and -teardown times can be significant. You should ftp to ftp.sgi.com and grab a program from there called `ttcp'. Now, pick two machines on opposite sides of your network connection, and run the following tests: one$ netstat -p tcp > one-tcp-before two$ netstat -p tcp > two-tcp-before one$ ttcp -r -s -v 2>&1 | tee one-recv.log two$ ttcp -t -s -v one 2>&1 | tee two-send.log [when this completes, both sides will exit] two$ ttcp -r -s -v 2>&1 | tee two-recv.log one$ ttcp -t -s -v two 2>&1 | tee one-send.log [again, both will exit] one$ netstat -p tcp > one-tcp-after two$ netstat -p tcp > two-tcp-after This will give you a large amount of data from which you can start analyzing your TCP performance. The output of the `ttcp' programs will tell you what your actual throughput was, and how much CPU time it took to achieve it. This will give you some idea of how much time was spent waiting for the other end. By comparing the two receiving sides, you may discover asymmetric behavior, which might result from routing anomalies or link congestion. By examining the TCP statistics, you can tell how much data had to be retransmitted, and to some extent why. The `route get DESTINATION' command will tell you what the measured round-trip time is from one end to the other, how stable it was, and (if you have MTUDISC enabled in your kernel) the MTU for the path to the other end. Hopefully this will give you a starting point for diagnosing your TCP performance. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

We would appreciate any insight that you may >share with us. I just ran into to this as well. However, I didn't use "Ontrack" although I have the exact same drive (Western Digital 1.28Gig Caviar). What I did was to make sure my DOS partition was a FreeBSD-root-partion-size less than the 1024 cylinder (~500 MB) limit (in my case I made this 32 MB less) so that when allocated, the root partition was within the 1024 cyclinder limit and, therefore, the boot manager could access and execute the kernel. With the kernel running, FreeBSD has no trouble accessing the rest of the disk even though the "raw" BIOS can't. By the way - I did it the hard way, I used fdisk to repartion disk to the new size and therefore lost my entire DOS partion - no suprise. (I did, however, first make backups). I found out later that there is a utility on the FreeBSD CDROM (or ftp site I assume) called "FIPS.EXE" that will allow you to adjust the size of a HD partition WITHOUT losing the data. I haven't tried it, however. Never the less, I would be interested to know how FreeBSD works with the "Ontrack Disk Manager". For instance, does it still require the root partition to be within the 1024 limit? #include ___ ___ ___ ___ Charles T.

This question has some relevance to the MGR window system, which I'm trying to port to FreeBSD. I'm running 2.0R. (Yes, I know I should upgrade, but at present my only method of doing so is via floppy disk, and I have other priorities at the moment.) In stdlib.h, if the macro _POSIX_SOURCE is defined, then `optarg' and `getopt' (among other symbols) are not defined or declared: #if !defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) && !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) ... extern char *optarg; extern int opterr, optind, optopt; int getopt __P((int, char * const *, const char *)); Yet the man page for getopt(3) implies that it's acceptable to use it in a POSIX environment. EXTENSIONS The `optreset' variable was added to make it possible to call the getopt() function multiple times. This is an extension to the IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX'') specification. Can any of you shed some light on this? Should actually be declaring optarg, optind and the rest? Or if I'm compiling with _POSIX_SOURCE turned on, should I expect these to be defined/declared somewhere else? Thanks for any suggestions you can lend -- love, T.

We installed 2.1.0-951005-SNAP via ftp using the card and all worked fine. However, when the new system rebooted, it said that the ethernet address was unknown. Further probing and debugging reveals that the card seems to contain a DC21041 chip rather than a 21040. The initial unknown problem was due to yet another PROM layout (ether address at offset 20, but only 32 bytes altogether). I fixed this and got a little further but am now getting trap faults. Before going any further (and while I compile a debugging kernel), I want to check if anyone else has one of these new SMC cards or has solved the 21041 support issue. A hint as to why the boot floppy works might help a lot. -- Alan From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 20 12:36:02 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA16670 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Oct 1995 12:36:02 -0700 Received: from jd-unix.wpafb.af.mil (jd-unix.wpafb.af.mil [129.52.114.42]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA16665 for ; Fri, 20 Oct 1995 12:35:58 -0700 Received: (from root@localhost) by jd-unix.wpafb.af.mil (8.6.11/8.6.9) id PAA03656; Fri, 20 Oct 1995 15:54:40 GMT Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 15:54:40 +0000 () From: "Jeffrey D.

Add a non-default route for the specific addresses/nets that you wish to have treated as local.

Including so-called "extensions", like getopt(3). The qualifier "extension" means "not part of the standard". If you want "extensions", then you must not define _POSIX_SOURCE.

The adapter is an Adaptec 1542. With no external devices attached and the card's auto termination feature enabled, the installation proceeds until it gets to the point where it says "aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle". Then it comes back with (aha0:0:0) timed out adapter not taking commands.. frozen ?! The installation basically stops at this point. The system boots DOS OK and the card is brand new. Can you give me a clue as to what's going on? One other thing is that I had to use the -c option to change the cards port from 0x330 to 0x234 which is the way it is configured on my system. I don't think that should make a difference but thought you should know. I need to fix this quickly so I'll very much appreciate your reply. Thanx. Lanre Amos.

My printer port is LPT1 and my printer is an Epson. I don't think it really makes difference, but you have that information. in my startup files (i forget which one exactly), lpd is run. This seems like it should start the daemon, but when I use lpr to print, it says no daemon. So, I type lpd and it prints (child process?), but the next time after printing is complete, I want to print, I have to do lpd again, but only after a job is in the queue. It does this consistently and I have looked for lock files and deleted them but it still doesn't seem to load right. Any ideas?

Apologies in advance if there was a *real* resolution to this that I missed. In addition to M C Wong, there seem to have been several others who have posted about exactly this over the summer (as archived on minnie). The problem seemed to be dismissed as "user error". I too am having this problem (i.e. complaints about a missing XKeysymDB, then nearly endless "translation table syntax error" messages). Please note that I am running 1.1.5.1 with the posted/archived stat/fstat/lstat patches (and XFree86 3.1.[12?]).

Unless ktrace is lying, the files were found and read. I'm guessing that netscape didn't like some difference between the information it got from the read and from the stat/fstat. Perhaps the stat/ftat/lstat patch doesn't quite work. Didn't struct stat change in 4.4? The move of stat/fsat/lstat to 188-190 would make a lot more sense to me if it did. I realize that 2.1-RELEASE will be out "any day now," and I will jump onto 2.1 as soon as I know that there aren't any serious release glitches.

I could use Minicom, which I'm using now, or kermit, but I wanted everything to function so I attacked tip. I remember that the modem would go off hook, dialing would start and in about 7 seconds the modem would go on hook and the call would fail. I tweaked on files 'modems', 'remote', 'phones' and even messed with tip settings, mainly dial time. What ever I did got tip working :). Later I hosed lpd messing with host parameters and to fix this problem did a minimal bin reinstall (eradicating the etc directory by the way). Well ... I'm back trying to get tip working again with the same problem as before: minicom and kermit work; I can run tip to a hard wired line (cuaa2c) and ATDT and get it to work but when I try to run tip normally it does not even finish dialing the number before it goes on hook and fails the call! Please anyone?

One by doing an archie search which turned up several locations including a directly executeable one. A second source is O'Reily's OR Walnut Creek BSD 4.4Lite CDROM Companion which contains quite a bit of other source you may find interesting. --- Gary B.

Are their any lines I should move > in the rc.* scripts? I've long had the same problem with many FreeBSD machines. I finally came up with the following solution: Set the timezone to whatever it is suppose to be. in /etc/rc.local use ntpdate to get the correct time from a time server. Now things work fine. Never did get the right time out of a machine no matter how much I played with it.
