This should probably be fixed so that the buffers are soft reconfigurable or configured for gateway by default. Using the sysctl line by itself will turn on gatewaying.

This is already the case. It has been this way for awhile: ---------------------------- revision 1.11 date: 1995/06/29 08:21:32; author: davidg; state: Exp; lines: +1 -5 Removed "GATEWAY" consideration when calculating number of mbuf clusters. It now always uses the value that was used for the GATEWAY case. ---------------------------- revision 1.9 date: 1995/05/25 07:36:24; author: davidg; state: Exp; lines: +13 -2 branches: 1.9.4; Made "NMBCLUSTERS" calculation dynamic and fixed bogus use of "NMBCLUSTERS" in machdep.c (it should use the global nmbclusters). Moved the calculation of nmbclusters into conf/param.c (same place where nmbclusters has always been assigned), and made the calculation include an extra amount based on "maxusers". NMBCLUSTERS can still be overrided in the kernel config file as always, but this change will make that generally unnecessary. This fixes the "bug" reports from people who have misconfigured kernels seeing the network "hang" when the mbuf cluster pool runs out. It isn't practical to make it soft configurable because the size of the mb_map must be calculated at startup time. We could (should!) make some extensions to 'userconfig' to allow you to change things like this. I highly recommend that you subscribe to the cvs-all mailing list so that you don't give out so much disinformation. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 10 12:30:13 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA17498 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 12:30:13 -0700 Received: from jolt.eng.umd.edu (jolt.eng.umd.edu [129.2.102.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA17482 for ; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 12:30:08 -0700 Received: from mocha.eng.umd.edu (mocha.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.16]) by jolt.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id PAA06625 for ; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 15:29:49 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by mocha.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id PAA05536; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 15:29:49 -0400 Date: Sun, 10 Sep 1995 15:29:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Starting up, getting NOs Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk During boot of my -current system, I get a couple lines like : NO not found NO not found These come just before the ifconfig for ed0.

Both are equally broken. You don't understand what this does. "nmbclusters" sets the *limit*. No buffers are actually allocated until they are needed. There are no additional buffers or space allocated (except in the map, but this is a virtual memory thing and has nothing to do with physical memory). -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Sep 10 15:48:05 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA26127 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 15:48:05 -0700 Received: from jolt.eng.umd.edu (jolt.eng.umd.edu [129.2.102.5]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id PAA26119 for ; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 15:47:58 -0700 Received: from latte.eng.umd.edu (latte.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.15]) by jolt.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) with ESMTP id SAA09219; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 18:47:50 -0400 Received: (chuckr@localhost) by latte.eng.umd.edu (8.6.10/8.6.4) id SAA07329; Sun, 10 Sep 1995 18:47:48 -0400 Date: Sun, 10 Sep 1995 18:47:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: Network Coordinator cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Autologout.

You may remember me as the one this past week who did "make world" to get "2.1.0-STABLE" while still multi-user. That seemed to work fine but I started getting spurious resets when running long (hours) CPU intensive tasks. Rebooted "kernel -s" into single user, used fsck to clean everything up, "mount -a" to get my filesystems back, and did a new "make world", a new kernel, etc. Same problem as before. MTBF is 4 hours of active use. The AHA1542CF would not work with an ISA bus speed of 8.0 MHz, seemed to work at 5.6 MHz, so I set it to 5.0, all this before the above problems. See below, BIOS bus speed on this machine is set to 7.15 MHz. I no longer suspect FreeBSD, as all this happened shortly after adding the AHA1542CF and is very similar to problems seen on my other 486DX33 with an UltraStor 14F (2.01 BIOS with adjustable bus occupancy times). In both cases I have a swap partition on a small SCSI drive and am crunching data on an IDE drive where FreeBSD is. The machine with the UHA14F has a Symphony chipset and does not reset on exit from FreeBSD installation. When it dies running the console suggests there has been a memory parity error, once it reset in the middle of the night, once it said it was going to reset in 15 seconds but never did, and another time it just froze at "syncing disks". The other 486 has an ETEQ (?) chipset and properly resets out of intallation and reboots after whatever the problem is. Don't know if any message is on the console as I learn of the problem when I hear "Bong, scrunch scrunch" after the fact. Both 486DX33's have AMI BIOS, ISA only (no VL-bus). There are some parameters in the BIOS setup that I'd like some advice on: What is "Decoupled Refresh Option" which is currently enabled? What is "Extended ALE" which is currently enabled? What is "I/O Recovery Time (SYSCLK)" which is currently "0"? What is "Bus Clock Selection" which is currently "CLK2/3" but defaults to "CLK2/4"? With options such as "ATCLK", "7.15 MHz", "CLK2/5", etc. The Symphony chipset machine reports disk errors booting the 2.0.5R boot disk if CLK2/4 is used but works fine with CLK2/3 (which is why it got set there). Back in 386BSD 0.0 days it was recomended that any BIOS ROM or video shadowing be disabled. Is this still true? (Mine is disabled). Is it time to unload these MB's on some poor unsuspecting DOS user and buy something documented? Is this what is meant by "does not support bus master cards"? -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================= The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello.. I am thinking about install the FreeBSD system on my computer, but I have some dubts: 1 - I am using Windows 95, and want to have the 2 systems running on my system. There is any special recommendations, or I use the default dual boot configuration (DOS and FreeBSD). 2 - I have a Quantum 540 Mb HD, and just one partition, made with the Quantum device driver. This partition works good with the DOS, but in systems that check the partition table (like OS2 or Windows NT), they detects a incompatible partition. The freebsd have problems with IDE drives with grater than 1024 cylinders and just one partition? Should I remake the partition before install the FreeBSD?

A term setting of 'ansi' should work fine. I believe it is supposed to be compatible with the SCO console, so if you have a termcap for that, that should also work. Marc.

Another attribute mapping. I'd say PCVT was under the impression that your card was a mono card; does it emulate one? This could cause it to mis-probe the card.

Just started running FreeBSD 2.0 on a subnotebook. Its really great having a 3.7 lb Unix system! I am running 2.0 because I don't yet have time to upgrade my main system to 2.0.5 or a 2.1 snap and I want to keep them in sync. I am having the following problems that you might want to be aware of: o It turned out that XFree86 doesn't support the cirrus logic chip used in my note book. If your concerned with X working out of the box, make sure the video chip on the notebook you buy is supported or be prepared to modify the X server. o I can't get APM (Advanced Power Management) working even using the FreeBSD 2.1 driver. It causes reboots. I haven't had time to figure it out yet. o I havn't gotten a PCMCIA modem card, but there is a daemon in the ports collection to handling insertion and initialization of PCMCIA cards. People have reported good results with it. Don't let this discourage you, I am overall pleased with the system. While FreeBSD has some features that don't work (yet), its fast and reliable.

I have two problems that I would like help with. On a WD 1.62 Gb EIDE hard disk I have DOS and FreeBSD installed, when the DOS partition is the active partition the Boot Manager prompts for the desired operating system and either system can be booted. When the FreeBSD partition is the active partition, I only get the message "Missing Operating System". The machine is hung and the only way out is with hardware reset. I noted that when I installed FreeBSD the machine hung at the point where the install menu indicated a machine re-boot would occur. The DOS partition was modified with the `fips' program to make room for the FreeBSD partition. The `pfdisk' output for the partition table: Partition table on device: 0 geometry 786 64 63 (cyls heads sectors) # ID First(cyl) Last(cyl) Name # start, length(sectors) 1 6 0 253 DOSbi # 63, 1024065 2 165 254 785 unkno # 1024128, 2145024 3 0 0 0 empty # 0,0 4 0 0 0 empty # 0,0 The physical geometry of the disk is: 3148 cyls 16 heads 63 sectors The second problem I have is: I panicked the kernel after doing a cd /; find . -name bash -print. Now when I boot FreeBSD I get the message "WARNING: / was not properly dismounted." The machine hangs and the only way out is with hardware reset. Is there a procedure to boot from floopy disk in order to run `fsck' on the root file system? I didn't catch the exact panic message something to the effect of corrupt file. Keith R.

The answer is "whatever you say it is"; setting the foreground high intensity bit under mono is the same as the blue bit under color.

Well, the attribute clear screen is how it's supposed to act; I'd argue a problem in ncurses or whatever program's screen handling code (I've seen the same thing under elm, myself).

I just noticed another problem, Netscape seems to think my delete and backspace keys are equilivent of the spacebar. The friend of mine I mentioned above told me that switching to PCVT fixes it, but I don't really care for PCVT because of its mishandling of the mapping with the colors and such. Any ideas? If PCVT can get the same visual functionality of cons25, then I'll switch, but if it's going to screw with the colors, then I'll just have to suffer with cons25. :/ Thanks, Dave +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Anderson | Partek on IRC | partek@indecent.com | partek@youth.org | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "We do not have to resign our vision to what 'the world is really like'. | | The roles of our past do not have to be the blueprint for our future.

No idea. I'm using bash for years now, and it works for me. For your items 3 and 5: perhaps you want to switch pcvt in the HP mode (scon -H) in which you can toggle a display functions mode by pressing F8. In this mode escape sequences and control codes dont get executed but dis- played, so it might be possible to find the cause of these problems. Anyway, i would also suggest to read the (not perfect) docs in the directory /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc !

I applied the patches...no problem with that. The problem is that at boot time, my secondary IDE controller isn't probed. The configuration: Pentium 90, Triton m-board (Tyan, I think) w/2 on-board EIDE ports. Port one has 2 disks, 1 all DOS, 2 part DOS part FBSD. Port 2 has Pioneer CD-ROM (which came jumpered as IDE slave... go figure). If I boot w/ -c and probe wdc1 it returns 0x00...no such fella. What I'd really like to do is get a successful probe in the current configuration, but I tried a bunch of different things in my attempt to understand the problem. First I tried setting CD-ROM to master on the theory that the port wouldn't probe without a master. Still no probe...DOG doesn't love my CD-ROM anymore either. Then I tried moving disk 2 to the second port (making it master, of course). Now the port is probed and the ATAPI stuff does its work, but the kernel can't change root devices because now the disk is called wd2 instead of wd1. So I'm not even sure that the ATAPI code really found the CD-ROM. So there you have it. Any ideas? I'm starting to think my best option is to scavenge a grotty old IDE harddrive from somewhere and use it as a placeholder master for IDE port 2.

I'd appreciate comments regarding FBSD's support for >remote access via modem The Matrox cards work fine in text mode only. If you want to run X on them you will have to buy a commercial Xserver (Accellerated X from Xinside?). XFree86 does not support them as Matrox requires a non-disclosure for programming info. I've tried getting the XFree86 generic VGA server working on my Matrox card with some small success. It comes up but bounces around and has artifacts. With some tinkering with the dot clocks you might be able to get 640-480 to work. The above applies to both Linux and FreeBSD as they both use the exact same XFree86 code. As far as remote X access over modem goes it should work just fine. I've played around with it using a term connection to redirect X. A bit slow but usable.

You're the first one i know of who's complaining about it's color assignments... It's certainly got more functionality than syscons wrt. DEC VT style emulation, while it misses all the SCO compat cruft. Both is by intention. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 12 08:30:29 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA15468 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 08:30:29 -0700 Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [192.216.222.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA15460 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 08:30:27 -0700 Received: from irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de (irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de [141.76.1.11]) by who.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.11) with ESMTP id IAA01382 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 08:24:34 -0700 Received: from sax.sax.de by irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de (8.6.12/8.6.12-s1) with ESMTP id RAA28359; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 17:21:30 +0200 Received: by sax.sax.de (8.6.11/8.6.12-s1) with UUCP id RAA07646; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 17:21:29 +0200 Received: (from j@localhost) by uriah.heep.sax.de (8.6.12/8.6.9) id NAA29224; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 13:58:57 +0200 From: J Wunsch Message-Id: <199509121158.NAA29224@uriah.heep.sax.de> Subject: Re: PCVT problems To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 12 Sep 1995 13:58:57 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: partek@indecent.com (David Anderson) In-Reply-To: from "David Anderson" at Sep 12, 95 02:19:36 am X-Phone: +49-351-2012 669 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 563 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk As David Anderson wrote: (Some of your problems will be answered in a private mail you've sent me.) > 4- The cursor seems to be lagged behind my typing.

X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Andrew Webster" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I am having difficulty with a FreeBSD system using an adaptec 2740 controller. Everything works to about 99.9%. Occasionally, (during kernel builds and news expiries), I get a read error on the drives. This is not detected except by the C compiler which complains about some garbage data in the file. Restarting the compile will continue the build and perhaps bomb somewhere else.

The system is setup as follows: +-----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ | DISK ID:0 |-------| AHA 2740 |------| DISK ID:2 | +-----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ Both disks are terminated, and the 2740 is setup (Control-A during boot) in software for no termination. I did however notice this in the aic7xxx.c file: #define STPWEN 0x01 /* Powered Termination */ . . . outb(SCSIID + iobase, ahc->our_id); scsi_conf = inb(HA_SCSICONF + iobase) & (ENSPCHK|STIMESEL); outb(SXFRCTL1 + iobase, scsi_conf|ENSTIMER|ACTNEGEN|STPWEN); <----!! ^^^^^^ outb(SIMODE1 + iobase, ENSELTIMO|ENSCSIPERR); Does this re-enable the terminators on the 2740 that have been disabled in software, and thus causing the problems mentionned?

Look at fsck for the definition of the "dynamic" fields in the superblock. These will be non-zero on the first one. This will give you the disk offset of the superblocks, which you can then enter into your disklabel. I have often though the perhaps swap should be first to ensure that an overwrite like this would not necessarily touch important data. On the other hand, you aren't supposed to put anything important in the '/' but distribution files (and system configuration because of stupid writeable '/etc'), and '/' has to be below 1024 for BIOS to see it.

Obviously, the system is completely usable for what you want to do without any GPL'ed software loaded, though having a compiler can be handy. If you are just interested in the BSD code itself, or in *using* the code instead of boxing it up and selling it, well then there are no restrictions. You are free to do anything you want with it. If you omit the GPL'ed code, then you are free to box it up and sell it without sources if you want to do that. The obvious benefit to you of rolling any improvements you make back into the main line source tree (by way of placing them under UCB style copyright) is that when you decide to update, you won't have to reintegrate your fixes or maintain a seperate source tree.

Thanks. Magically the disklabel worked when I mounted the partition in question but fsck'ing told me that the Superblock was corrupt and whether it should look for alternate superblock. I bailed out of fsck and hand made a custom 1.1.5.1 floppy that allowed me to nfs mount my backup machine and tar the files over the net.

Would it break something? Also, would it fix a problem I've noticed on my web server... when someone begins to connect over a SLOW or bad link, sometimes `netstat -an | grep SYN_RCVD` shows that person's multiple connections remaining in the SYN_RCVD state for quite a while, which appears to make it impossible for anyone else to connect to the web server until some slots clear. Not being much of a socket hacker and not knowing the kernel, I assumed that the listen(sock,max) queue was full, and that SOMAXCONN was a limiting factor.

Date: Tue, 12 Sep 1995 18:21:55 -0700 From: Scott Blachowicz Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk [I've sent messages close to this one to both questions and comp.unix.freebsd.misc without any suggestions (or course, there's been DNS configuration problems in reaching my site, so I could've just missed something). I just want to solicit ideas (aside from return the CD to Walnut Creek & try again with the 2.1 CD) on how to proceed from here. :-(] Hi- I've finally gotten 2.0.5 up & going without shooting my own bloody foot off. I like it, but... I was doing normal sort of work - editing files, doing a 'pkg_add' on a new package from ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/ (BTW, are those supposed to work with 2.0.5? or just -current? or maybe -stable & - -current? or ...) with a uucico running in the background. I noticed a few odd messages that looked like this: free inode /usr/20096 had -268370322 blocks My partitioning/slicing looks like this: wd0s1 - DOS /c wd0s2a - 4.2BSD / wd0s2e - 4.2BSD /usr/X11R6 wd0s3 - DOS /e sd0s1 - DOS /d sd0s2 - swap (shared between Linux & FreeBSD, or at least that's the goal) sd0s3c - 4.2BSD /usr sd0s4 - Linux ext2 / So after fsck'ing my /usr, I reinstalled FreeBSD (no newfs'ing) and editing my fstab to mount my DOS partitions as read-only (I've been seeing things warning about rw-mounted DOS partitions), umount'd the DOS partitions, then mount'd them again. I left the system running overnight and now doing things like 'ls /usr' just return an error like: /usr: Bad file descriptor Does anything in here pop out at you as being something to investigate further? Other background...I've been using osbs20b8 and fsbdboot (I think that's what the number was) for booting. I also boot into Windows (fWg) and Linux (via loadlin, not lilo) regularly. I DID have old entries in my Linux /etc/fstab file referring to partitions that I'm now using for FreeBSD, but I think I've reinstalled FreeBSD into re-newfs'd partitions since correcting my Linux fstab. So, some questions... 1) During bootup, I get this message (presumably mounting one of my 3 DOS partitions): mountmsdosfs(): root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length Is that something to worry about? Could that be causing my grief? 2) I get this: lp0: TCP/IP capable interface ... npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface What are "npx0" and "lp0"? Or more generally, where do I look to find out what a particular device/controller designation refers to? 3) For my wd0, I get BIOS C/H/S of 524/64/63 and the controller sez 2099/16/63. Is this causing me grief? 4) For my sd0, I've seen C/H/S numbers of 1009/43/63 reported by pfdisk under DOS and 3053/43/63 from the FreeBSD fdisk. Huh? That makes no sense. That's the first time I've noticed THAT discrepancy. It's a 1.4Gb (roughly) disc, so the first set of numbers makes more sense. Hmmm...maybe I ran that fdisk command after the corruption occurred, so maybe the "in-core disklabel" was corrupt? 5) Is there more info or different info that would be useful? Or a different set of things to try whilst reinstalling FreeBSD yet again? 6) I've seen messages (on questions or current or ...) talking about the dangers of mounting 'msdos' file systems read/write. Are the problems there known? fixed? Is there any alternative for quickly make files available among different OS's? I suppose I COULD put them on a tape, but then I'd have to figure out a portable format and actually set things up to talk to the tape drive from Windows, although I could boot it to Windows NT to read the tape...blech. Maybe I should completely reinstall FreeBSD making sure not to mount the DOS partitions at all? I ran a bunch of commands (e.g. dmesg, disklabel, fdisk) and their output follows.

It's interesting that you should send this email - this very subject was the topic between myself and several people yesterday. ...for instance, I can tell you that www.intel.com now has SOMAXCONN set to 120 (as of yesterday)...although I think this is much higher than is actually needed. I suspect that a number in the 10-20 range should be adequate. Last night I was going to add a counter to count the number of connection requests that were dropped because of the queue limit, but got sidetracked... BTW, you'll likely have to recompile your web server, too, if it has a small value specified in the listen() call (it's apparantly common to specify SOMAXCONN, which of course would be 5 when it was compiled). -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 12 18:44:15 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA23245 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 18:44:15 -0700 Received: from condor.physics.montana.edu (condor.physics.montana.edu [153.90.240.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA23237 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 18:44:14 -0700 Received: (from handy@localhost) by condor.physics.montana.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA15430; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 19:43:35 -0600 Date: Tue, 12 Sep 1995 19:43:35 -0600 (MDT) From: Brian Handy To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Linux Q for someone Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, This is way off topic, but I'm looking for someone mildly gurulike at Linux installs to ask a couple of questions of.

As I mentioned before, the system is a LAN. The host I was trying to reach was in my /etc/hosts file, and my host.conf was set up to try hosts before bind, so it took a while to figure it out. The problem was in sendmail.cf (FreeBSD); The OI macro had to be commented out to avoid having sendmail use the BIND server at all times. The problem on the HP side was a bit silly. Although I was sending to the right address, the host name I was using did not correspond to that of myname on the FreeBSD side and was therefore being rejected by sendmail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Burns (rjbproc@vir.com) Mtl., Ca. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Sep 12 23:21:06 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id XAA09918 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 23:21:06 -0700 Received: from ref.tfs.com (ref.tfs.com [140.145.254.251]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id XAA09912 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 23:21:05 -0700 Received: (from julian@localhost) by ref.tfs.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id XAA00308; Tue, 12 Sep 1995 23:20:54 -0700 From: Julian Elischer Message-Id: <199509130620.XAA00308@ref.tfs.com> Subject: Re: Disk corruption problems in 2.0.5R (CDROM)?

In a nutshell: in /etc/sysconfig you have to set the hostname=host.domain This name should also be in /etc/hosts like: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn host.domain You should have a network interface that is set up correctly to one of the defaults. You can check this looking at the output of the dmesg command. See if your network card has been recognized. The listed irq is the assumed default value. Your card setting has to math this value. You can type /kernel -c at the bootprompt to change the values of your network card in the kernel.

The harware configuration is: hardware port irq drq iomem motherboard IBM486SLC n/a n/a n/a n/a CD ROM(panasonic) matcd0 0x320 5 3 default floppy disk fdc0 default default default default hard drive I(maxtor) wdc0 default default default default hard drive II(maxtor) wdc1 default default default default line printer lpt0 default default default default seiral port I sio0 default default default default seiral port II sio1 default default default default we have 2 hard disks, each of 420M, we didnt use lpt0 or sio0, sio1 at all, none of all other devices. This should be a very basic configuration. interesting enough is if we did NOT disable all other unused devices, the installation could process a little furthur, it showed that freebsd tried to build file systems on all partitions(we have /, /usr, /usr/src, /usr/obj, swap, /dos, etc). after it finished building file systems, it tried to copy something to /stand, at this moment, page fault came. However, if we did disable all unused devices, only leave the above 7 devices enabled, the installation would fail immediately, with page fault as the message, i.e, we didnt even see freebsd was trying to build file systems. during installation, we DID see that freebsd recognized the CD ROM. Our harddisk lay out is : for the first harddisk, the first 200M is allocated to DOS, the next 50M or so is for /, the rest(about 170M is for /usr. for the second hard disk, we have swap(32M), /usr/src(recommended cfg), /usr/obj(recommended cfg). Yesterday, we also ran the BIOS ram test, we have 8M ram, all are good. last question: we are wondering what freebsd is trying to do after it finished building up file systems on all partition, 'cause that is the point of failure, it should give us useful hint. thanks for your help, we are looking forward to your reply. qingyan From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 13 08:21:49 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id IAA13447 From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 13 10:07:07 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA17682 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 10:07:07 -0700 Received: from phaeton.artisoft.com (phaeton.Artisoft.COM [198.17.250.211]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id KAA17675 for ; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 10:07:03 -0700 Received: (from terry@localhost) by phaeton.artisoft.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id KAA07605; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 10:02:42 -0700 From: Terry Lambert Message-Id: <199509131702.KAA07605@phaeton.artisoft.com> Subject: Re: cvs commit: src/sys/kern vnode_if.sh To: bde@zeta.org.au (Bruce Evans) Date: Wed, 13 Sep 1995 10:02:41 -0700 (MST) Cc: julian@ref.tfs.com, terry@lambert.org, bde@zeta.org.au, questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <199509130821.SAA30687@godzilla.zeta.org.au> from "Bruce Evans" at Sep 13, 95 06:21:08 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 674 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > >> > Is a new vnode_if.sh making ANSIfied vnode_if.h?!? > >> I hope so.. but actually no, it's just making ansi > >> prototypes and leaving the functions in pre-ansi style > >> (or so bruce's comments said) > > >That's OK.

Usual procedure here is to boot to single user - enter '-s' at the boot: prompt. Root is mounted read-only, and may be safely fsck'd. If you haven't tried this, give it a try. P.S.: It is possible to built a boot floppy with a limited set of recovery tools. I have never done this myself. Perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction.

I hope you mean you don't read your mail at ibm too often, cause if you don't read this, I can't help you. Installing FreeBSD really ought to be fairly painless. Sometimes it can get a bit more complicated, depending on your hardware, so how about telling us about it, including all the IRQ setting for all the equipment and disks, and the IO address settings. General stuff about your disks and partitioning would be a help, too, because our view of your problem is through your eyes ... use a magnifying glass for us, OK? Down to your mounting question. You use the 'mount' command, which has the '-t' flag to indicate the filesystem type. In your case, it's called 'msdos'. You're going to need a directory mount point for your floppy, you might want to create an empty directory under root called "floppy" with this command (as root user): mkdir /floppy Then mount the floppy with: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy Don't forget to unmount the floppy before you remove it from the drive, with the 'umount' command (umount, not unmount): umount /floppy This really should be painless, so give it a try. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Sep 13 18:08:01 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id SAA03325 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 18:08:01 -0700 Received: from kryten.atinc.com (kryten.Atinc.COM [198.138.38.7]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id SAA03315 for ; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 18:07:58 -0700 Received: (jmb@localhost) by kryten.atinc.com (8.6.9/8.3) id UAA09227; Wed, 13 Sep 1995 20:59:52 -0400 Date: Wed, 13 Sep 1995 20:59:52 -0400 (EDT) From: "Jonathan M.

If the shell field is empty, the Bourne shell, /bin/sh, is assumed. When alter- ing a login shell, and not the super-user, the user may not change from a non-standard shell or to a non-standard shell. Non-standard is defined as a shell not found in /etc/shells. very useful for internet service providers and others who host accounts that need carefully restricted privleges. Jonathan M.

I've got a NEC 260 drive, and this may or may not be your problem too: In wd.c:wdprobe(), there is an attempt to check for a device by reading and writing a register that the (disk) controller responds to, but the CD ROM drive does not. /* check if we have registers that work */ outb(du->dk_port + wd_cyl_lo, 0xa5); /* wd_cyl_lo is read/write */ if (inb(du->dk_port + wd_cyl_lo) == 0xff) /* XXX too weak */ goto nodevice; Now I then did the obvious frob: totally *skip* this weak test. This worked relatively nicely! Bruce supplied some details that I could regurgitate if needed, or you could attempt to locate in the mail archives (Date: 30,31-Aug-95). > Port 2 has Pioneer CD-ROM (which came jumpered as IDE slave... go figure).

A program image contains text regions and data regions. Now suppose you had a way of creating a shared memory region just big enough to hold your data image, and then mapping your data image into it.

For instance... I want to be able to replace a routine in the standard libc, but there doesn't appear to be any instructions on "how to" rebuild the shared libraries - as there is in SunOS /usr/lib/shlib.etc/README. There ought to be a simpler way to do this than "make"ing the entire libc from source. I only want to replace one module! I've done this many times on SunOS, following very simple set of instructions. Nothing I can find in the docs, FAQs or the past few months traffic in the questions list tells how to do this. HELP!

Don suggested I ask this here as there has been a discussion on this recently. Could someone fill me in on the bottom line? --- Hi. A question for you freebsd users out there. I've installed freebsd on my thinkpad 360C. I've gotten the keyboard working fine with the following config lines: device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint options "PCVT_FREEBSD=210" # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.1 options "PCVT_SCANSET=2" The problem is that my trackpoint mouse is never recognized. I have the following line in the kernel config file: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmint r The psm0 device is probed and it is claimed that "psm0: not found at 0x60". Probing it manually (at boot -c) returns 0. It has been suggested that I hack the mouse driver to assume the existence of the mouse regardless of the probe result. Is this the best solution? Any help would be very much appreciated. - Thanks.

(i.e the list of bootable areas) Does the FreeBSD boot manager go back and re-read the MBR displaying the other bootable slices ? and when one is selected basically transfer control to the disc are specified in the MBR. I know Linux has a ascii configuration file, and thus I was expecting an equivalent for FreeBSD, but I guess not.

This IDE bug often causes the last 32 bits of data transfer to get mangled, especially if there is some other DMA transfer occurring at the same time. Fortunately, none of my computers are affected, but think of the bad publicity for FreeBSD if people start blaming it for corrupting their HD partitions! > The full details are given under: > > http://www.intel.com/procs/support/rz1000/index.html There's a white paper on this page which should be helpful to anyone who wants to patch the IDE driver, as well as a DOS detection utility for the buggy chips. > Linux is listed as being affected and I was wondering if FreeBSD > was as well or if a fixed driver is available and from what version > of FreeBSD is it in? For those interested in conspiracy theories, Intel knew about this problem for at least a year, told Microsoft about it so they could fix their drivers in Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95, but "forgot" to tell the customers... About a serious potential source of irreparable data corruption! Silly Intel... > As a workaround I am turning off use of IDE Pre-fetch buffers > in my BIOS setup (as recommended by Intel). I'm not sure this will solve the problem for FreeBSD, since FreeBSD doesn't use the BIOS for data transfers. Also, this workaround does slow down transfer rates, while the ideal method is to patch the IDE driver to only read the status register after the data transfer is finished (see the white paper for a better description of the issue). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 14 11:20:22 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA17410 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 11:20:22 -0700 Received: from gilberto.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de [137.226.31.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA17404 for ; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 11:20:18 -0700 Received: (from kuku@localhost) by gilberto.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE (8.6.11/8.6.9) id TAA07864; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 19:35:28 +0200 From: "Christoph P.

Depends on whether you enable the IDE disks in the CMOS. If you enable the IDE disks the BIOS will boot from your IDE disks. There is at least one bootmanager I know which is able to boot from multiple disks/controllers (OSBS20B8.EXE). If you want to boot IDE disks and SCSI disks as well I would install the boot manager on either disks. The FreeBSD Boot: prompt allows you to boot from sd when wd is also present and vice versa. > > System is a ASUS P55TP4XE. > > thanks > > tony > From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Sep 14 11:22:45 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA17509 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 11:22:45 -0700 Received: from picspc01.pics.com (picspc01.pics.com [192.135.189.20]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA17499 for ; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 11:22:36 -0700 Received: from [192.135.189.69] (slip3 [192.135.189.69]) by picspc01.pics.com (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id OAA26156; Thu, 14 Sep 1995 14:22:39 -0400 Message-Id: <199509141822.OAA26156@picspc01.pics.com> To: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: 2.0R PPP Server Questions - Please Help Date: Thu, 14 Sep 95 14:12:15 -0500 From: Terry Rossi X-Mailer: E-Mail Connection v2.5.03 CC: Terry Rossi Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk -- [ From: Terry Rossi * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Hi, I have been poorly running a 2.0R machine as a PPP server for one serial port.

I have many problems with getting a good session established, the problem is not the physical connection but the routing and such. Sometimes, It works great! It doesn't add the route It doesn't add the arp entry It doesn't do either. It doesn't kill pppd after they hang-up I have all users use a variation of the following .ppprc file. #------/home/.ppprc------ crtscts # Hardware flow control netmask 255.255.255.0 # netmask ( not required ) 192.135.189.20:192.135.189.67 # ip's of local and remote hosts # local ip must be different from one # you assigned to the ethernet ( or other ) # interface on your machine. # remote IP is ip address that will be # assigned to the remote machine domain pics.com # your domain disconnect /usr/local/bin/pppdown modem # modem line proxyarp # Add a PROXYarp -s remoteip localether pub # doesn't seem to work My /etc/ppp/options file is a zero byte file.

I compiled rdist 6.1.0 on the Sun and on FreeBSd. The latter needed to be compiled as bsdi since there were no FreeBSD options in the config directory I compiled rdist version 6.1.0 using bsdi as my operating system - there was no FreeBSD template in config. The thing compiled OK. When I rdist a file from a Sun, if the file does not exist on FreeBSD it would install it fine. If I try a second time from the Sun, I would get a segmentation violation on the remote machine. The same rdist 6.1.0 works fine on Linux. So there you have it. I would like your help to see if something can be done about this. The FreeBSD machine is running 2.1.0, the SNAP version. Raman Padmanabhan Michigan State University raman@clunix.msu.edu P.S.

Windows95 is also affected. You can fix it by turning off 32 bit disk I/O. The problem occurs when you take an interrupt during DMA transfer. The FreeBSD IDE drivers don't use DMA.

Hmm, yes somewhat, but most systems these days suffers from cacheinvalidates and what not when you use the Motherboard based DMA, it also has to deal with the 16Mb problem, so I concluded that it simply wasn't worth the effort. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org | sos@login.dknet.dk) FreeBSD Core Team So much code to hack -- so little time From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 15 01:11:13 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id BAA01742 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 01:11:13 -0700 Received: from dirac.localnet.com (newton.buf.servtech.com [204.181.2.75]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id BAA01734 for ; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 01:11:08 -0700 Received: (from dirac@localhost) by dirac.localnet.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id EAA01226 for questions@freebsd.org; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 04:15:10 GMT From: "P.

Basically, my company is about to spend tens of thousands of dollars purchasing ISDN router equipment. We have had in for evaluation Combinet, Ascend, Network Express, CISCO, and have been relatively dissatisfied with the results. The Combinet and Ascend products while reasonably priced ($4000 per PRI) don't offer the complete functionality we are looking for. On the other hand the CISCO and Network Express products ($7500 - $15K per PRI) basically have the functionality we want but are too expensive and do too much. So what am I looking for? I want a card or a router/bridge that allows us to offer PPP connections via ISDN B channels. I want to drag in a 24/30 B channel PRI and plug it into my FreeBSD box. I then want software that allows me to run PPP over each of the B channels to whomever might dialin and has the appropriate authorization to connect. I also want a log of connection times. Just think of it as extended the POTS line modem model to ISDN. I.E. I want to run getty on the 24 B's and then exec ppp when necessary. (PAP/CHAP would be fine too) This equipment would be operating in both Europe and the US, so I'd need support for E1s and T1s. Emerging Technology has a great product that does all this wonderful stuff in the Frame Relay world. I just want something like it that works in the ISDN world. If you know of any solutions I appreciate hearing about them. I have $$$'s for equipment and $$$'s for consulting if you like to help me put a solution together.

I don't think this will happen for a long long time. Not many people on the FreeBSD core team have access to PRI's i'm sure. I'm not even sure if there is a card for PC technology that allows you to plug in a PRI. > I then want software that allows me to run PPP over each of the > B channels to whomever might dialin and has the appropriate > authorization to connect.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Two questions... 1) As i got too tired to try an dinstall -current, i bought CDROM of 2.0.5 from Walnut-Creek and installed that one...Well, it went almost right except that: 1) After recompiling kernel i'v got that error when all the tty's (ever virtual pty's or vty's) is not recognised as such. If you run tty, it says "not a tty", login behaves strangely and surely enough root can't login and all other things which happen when you use just a file descriptor instead of tty. I remember i found how to fix that a lot of time ago , buit can't recall it now..Any suggestions??? 2) This one is more tricky. When i tried to use -current, IDE CDROM configured ok, but any attempt to mount /dev/wcd0c gave me kernel printf complaining about something not ready and Abort code 54. Same happens for 2.0.5 kernel with IDE CDROM code, i patched into... Is this common? What's the fix if at all??

Hi, I don't think you will be able to use a DX4 120, unless you your motherboard can take a 40MHz CPU. I believe it is a clock trippled 40MHz AMD486.

Files with blocks containing nothing but 0's in them are not necessarily allocated real blocks. You create these by seeking to an offset and writing. All blocks prior to the seek offset are zero'ed. This is called a sparse file. Most likely you have several sparse file on your box, including your password databases and mail aliases. GNU tar has an option to not save these blocks to tape. You should use it, or when you restore your files, they will grow and potentially take more disk space than you really have. Try an experiment: open a file, seek to some offset, like 1G, and write one 512b block. Then ls -l the file. Do this on a 40M drive. It will look like you have a 1G file.

Personally, I recommend *against* ISDN. Mostly because the tarrif's allow them to start charging outrageous connect charge rates (upwards of $600/month for a 1/2 circuit, if connected 24/7). Amancio Hasty is probably one of your best bets. He runs an ascend pipeline and talks about it all the time. 8-). In an interesting related note, TCI is installing fiber optic to the home lines in 100,000 homes in Southern California. This is phone and cable and full ethernet speed to the net. If you can get in on that, it seems a good deal. Contact TCI for more information (not me). AT&T has been running tests of data delivery systems on the East Coast using POTS lines. Apparently, if you are in a location with a DV100, DV200, or 5ESS or better switch, they have a card that goes in place of the ISDN card in the switch and does 6Mb/S out an 4Mb/S in. Until the inter-LATA connections go in, though, the back channel will be limited to 64k (ISDN) speeds at the switch (ie: the 4Mb/S is not going to be available immediately). For those who follow HDTV standards, this is sufficient forward channel for 2 HDTV video-on-demand sessions simultaneously, assuming the US's digital HDTV standards. They give you a card for your machine when you get this. If the primary reason you are doing this is site-to-site at ISDN speeds and downloads from the net, this might be an option. Contact AT&T for more information (not me). Both of these would probably be bad for putting up a web server (for instance) but so would most ISDN. > Basically, my company is about to spend tens of thousands of dollars > purchasing ISDN router equipment. We have had in for evaluation > Combinet, Ascend, Network Express, CISCO, and have been relatively > dissatisfied with the results. If neither of the above is an option, there are two other options that aren't necessarily "real" ISDN. The first is Frame Relay. I recommend Frame Relay over ISDN where possible because it is impossible to put a connection/connection duration tarrif on Frame Relay, whereas most phone companies intend to bill time on ISDN. I prefer flat rate. If you go to Yahoo on www and look under ISDN, go to the ISDN page, and look at the tarrif chart, you'll be able to see if this is for you or not. The second option uses ISDN equipment and depends on you sharing a switch between your locations. You get Centrex lines between your locations, and use ISDN DOVBS (Data Over Voice Bearer Service) modems to connect at 64k between the locations. Centrex is a flat rate not tarrif'ed service. In some US West areas, they call it "Centron" or otherwise vary the name so as to increase your phone bill by upping their literature and training costs (at least that the reason I suppose they have for non-uniform naming). > So what am I looking for? > > I want a card or a router/bridge that allows us to offer PPP > connections via ISDN B channels. > > I want to drag in a 24/30 B channel PRI and plug it into my FreeBSD box.

Here is the CORRECT answer: `du' figures out disk usage by walking the directory tree and examining every file listed. However, it is possible for a file to exist, but not be listed in any directory (because it was unlinked after it was opened and is still open). This explains the difference between what `du' was able to determine by examining the directory structure and what `df' found out by asking the kernel how much space is free. `tar' pads the end of each file in the archive with null characters to make it a multiple of the block size you specified, or 10k if you didn't specify one. So, if we assume that the residual (i.e., size mod blocksize) is uniformly distributed, then you can expect a `tar' archive of N files to contain N * blocksize / 2 bytes of padding. (In reality, the distribution is not uniform, so this estimate is not accurate, but it gives you an idea.) And, of course, `tar' has to output directory information about the files it writes. This explains the discrepancy between `du' and what `tar' wrote. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

Specifically, software that can diagnose problems involving bus > mastering DMA xfers to memory that's been cached? I have detailed algorithm descriptions, which should be obvious to anyone with a working knowledge of DMA/stale-cache problems in any case, so I don't know how useful that would be. The problem with turning these into software is that you *must* have a bus mastering DMA card to do the tests, and that means a driver for the card, and that means making the test very card specific or part of the OS. Obviously, if you have the problems, it would be difficult or impossible to do this without another driver that uses PIO to get the system to the point it can run the tests (basically, my favorite hobby-horse of a fallback driver). I considered building software into a boot ROM and putting it on a DMA capable card for a plug in tester. This would be pretty straight forward, but probably not very economical unless you rolled it into a lot of other diagnostic capabilities, and even then your market would be limited to VARs/VADs/OEMs who care that the systems they ship aren't buggered (which is not many of them; maybe Rod would buy one, but he'd probably build his own first using BSD and a particular SCSI card). This is basically one-off software, and you will probably have to write it yourself.

You are saying that you can guarantee that none of his phantom blocks are the result of sparse files? An amazing remote diagnosis, but one if true which would allow you to CORRECT me in such certain terms. BTW: A file which is unlinked does not have a directory entry. It will not be seen by du. But a file which is a hard link will be seen *twice* by du and once by df. The 'df' output has an internal discrepancy between total blocks and blocks available + blocks used which accounts for the inodes. The du command does not account for inodes. Neither does the tar block count. The 'du' command reports the block count for '..' for each directory in the tree traversed: % cd /tmp % mkdir foo % cd foo 2 . This will inflate the block count by n times the block size of the current directory for each subdirectory. Similarly, it will count the current directory once in the parent and once in itself. Arguably this is a bug in 'du', and 'du' should be modified to ignore '.' and '..' (but count '.' for the root of the tree being traversed) to get an accurate block count. All of this being more information than the poster was probably prepared to deal with.

Can FreeBSD use DOS file as SWAP space? We have set up a configuration with shared root and /usr, and swap on the windows swapfile. There are a few tricks to play to have a shared root, while things are much easier for sharing /usr. Note that, to make things easy, I have to export the rootfs with root read permissions. This is a security hole. To avoid this, you have to change permissions to /sbin/init and find some better way to access the master.passwd (maybe YP can help -- but I have never used them). You need to rebuild a kernel, as the default kernel does not have MFS or "vn0". Here follows a small step-by-step guide on what we did here. I apologize for not producing this in .sgml format, but had no time to learn the formatting instructions, and wanted to post these info soon. Hope the details here can be useful, and somebody can include them in the handbook.

It is convenient to provade a template that can be shared between the various clients, e.g. #example bootptab ... .clients:\ ht=ethernet:sm=255.255.255.0:\ hn:hd=/:bf=/kernel: ... client1:tc=.clients:ha=012345678900:ip=200.0.0.1: client2:tc=.clients:ha=012345678901:ip=200.0.0.2: ... (remember to put the right values for "ha", the hardware address, and "ip", the ip address of the client. * TFTPD * Create a /tftpboot directory to hold the configuration files for the various clients [Note: many of the info in the config file could probably be derived from the parameters supplied by bootpd]. * Create the cfg.xx.xx.xx.xx files in /tftpboot, for each of the clients, e.g. #example cfg.200.0.0.1 hostname client1.my.domain kernel /kernel rootfs 200.0.0.128:/usr/diskless_root * INETD * Modify /etc/inetd.conf to enable BOOTP and TFTP, e.g. add/uncomment the following lines #example inetd.conf bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l /tftpboot * "kill -HUP" the inetd process * NFS SERVER * Modify /etc/exports to export the root and /usr directories for the clients, e.g. #example exports /usr /usr/diskless_root -ro -maproot=root:wheel client1 client2 ... Some operating systems (e.g. FreeBSD 2.X) allow you to define group of clients that have the same rights. WARNING: you are giving root access rights (although readonly) to all clients in the group. This is required, at least for the master.passwd file. If you don't like this, you have to use a different authentication mechanism (YP ?) * kill -HUP the mountd process * Add, if necessary, the ip to hostname mappings for the clients in /etc/hosts. * SETUP THE ROOT DIRECTORY FOR THE CLIENTS. We assume that the clients share a (readonly) directory named /usr/diskless_root. The per-client files are in a separate filesystem, /var, which is mounted in a memory filesystem on each client and filled up at boot time. To create /usr/diskless_root, start as follows: * create a copy of the original rootfs: mkdir /usr/diskless_root cd / tar cvlf - . | ( cd /usr/diskless_root ; tar xvf - ) * then do the following cd /usr/diskless_root mkdir dos # mountpoint for the local dos filesystem /dev/MAKEDEV dev/vn0 # device entry for mfs * modify etc/sysconfig, by setting the following fields appropriately for the clients: + network interfaces + disable nfs_server and other services * modify etc/inetd.conf to remove unwanted services (e.g. tftpd,bootpd) * modify etc/fstab as appropriate for the clients. They should use NFS-mounted root and /usr, a dos partition, and a memory filesystem. Note that the root partition is specified as rw in the fstab, although exported readonly by the server. #example fstab ... 200.0.0.128:/usr/diskless_root / nfs rw 0 0 200.0.0.1:/usr /usr nfs ro 1 1 /dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos rw 0 0 /dev/null /var mfs rw,-T=myformat 0 0 ... * modify etc/disktab to add a myformat entry. This is used by mount_mfs to derive information on the size and geometry of the partition. These info could be probably given in "fstab", but I was too lazy to figure out the parameters. myformat:\ :dt=ST506:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#256:nc#1:\ :pb#12288:ob#0:tb=swap: \ :pc#12288:oc#0: * move writable files into /var. Some files/directories in the root partition are moved to /var where they can be written. In /usr/diskless_root do the following: mv tmp var/tmp ln -s /var/tmp tmp mv dev var/dev ln -s /var/dev mv root var/root ln -s /var/root * Create a tar archive with all the files which go to the /var partition, as follows (within /usr/diskless_root): tar cvf - var | gzip -9 > files.tgz * modify etc/rc to do some diskless-related actions: basically, identify a diskless machine, mount the filesystems in the right order, create the /var partition in /mfs, extract the files, etc. [IMHO, this change might well go into the standard rc] #example rc ... DISKLESS=NO # default behaviour swapon -a ... if [ "x`hostname`" = "x" ] # netboot sets the hostname then mount -a -t nonfs else DISKLESS=YES mount -a -t nomfs vnconfig - e /dev/vn0 /dos/windows/win386.swp swap mount -a -t mfs df (cd /; gzcat files.tgz | tar xvf - ) fi ... * KERNEL CONFIGURATION The kernel for a diskless machine should contain at least the following, non-standard, entrues: options MFS #Memory Filesystem pseudo-device vn # Vnode driver plus all required devices for operation. Make a new kernel with the above options, and copy it to /usr/diskless_root/kernel *** CLIENT CONFIGURATION The swap area can be built by creating a file of suitable size (same or bigger of what defined in "myformat" above). An example (in DOS): cd \windows echo "swapfile...." >a copy a+a+a+a b # b=64 copy b+b+b+b a # b=256 copy a+a+a+a b # b=1K copy b+b+b+b a # b=4K copy a+a+a+a b # b=16K copy b+b+b+b a # b=64K copy a+a+a+a b # b=256K copy b+b+b+b a # b=1M copy a+a+a+a b # b=4M copy b+b+b win386.swp # 12M del b Then you just have to run netboot.com!

Can FreeBSD use DOS file as SWAP space? I'd be happy just to be able to use a 'msdos' file system for reading. Mounting mine read-only, then accessing it eventually corrupts my FreeBSD file systems. :-(( At any rate, I've seen this mentioned in a message to 'doc' (but I've not tried it and I don't know if it will interact badly with something on an 'msdos' file system): If you want to make a 32MB swapfile, do this. (1) Find a partition on your disk that has enough free space to hold a 32MB file. Say that's /var. (2) Use the dd command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swapfile bs=1024k count=32 to create a 32MB file. (3) cd to /dev and issue the command: sh ./MAKEDEV vn0 to create a virtual node. (4) Use the vnconfig command: vnconfig -e /dev/vn0c /var/swapfile swap to configure that file as a virtual node with swap enabled. (5) Add it to the system's swap pool by: swapon /var/swapfile (6) Check that it is working by: pstat -s ======= We might want something about doing this automatically at boot. Will this be enough? # cat >> /etc/vntab /dev/vn0c /var/swapfile ^D # cat >> /etc/fstab /dev/vn0c none swap sw 0 0 ^D Hmm, actually I don't know if /etc/vntab is scanned during reboot.

BTW, if I try cat temporarily unavailable." I have the similar problem. I have no time to look at this more closely, because my systmes boot rather rare. The symptoms are the same, but: once I had both of my PS/2 (3 and 2 button) working good for me at two similar Zenith workstations running FreeBSD 2.0.5 Then something happened and I was unable to use 3 button mouse at both of the machines, we even thought it (mouse) is broken. But, if I boot with 2-button mouse connected and then replaces it with the 3-buttoned one just on fly and restart xdm everything works right. Something with initialization I guess, but I haven't got to it yet. If anybody solved it already, please mail me too. alexis -- Live fast -- die young From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 15 11:02:16 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id LAA26766 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 11:02:16 -0700 Received: from infocom.com (tye.infocom.com [199.120.185.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id LAA26759 for ; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 11:02:13 -0700 Received: from async1.infocom.com by infocom.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA07824; Fri, 15 Sep 95 13:02:18 EST Message-Id: <9509151802.AA07824@infocom.com> X-Sender: anthony@mailer.infocom.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.1.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 15 Sep 1995 14:13:51 -0400 To: questions@freebsd.org From: anthony Subject: Matsuhita CDROM Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install FreeBSD and I have a Matsushita Soundblaster and apparently I don't have a "real" Matsushita CDROM drive.

Yes I've gotten ahold of two versions. The version on the Livingston FTP site compiles/links/and runs. I've put in the patches for sensing a PPP/SLIP connect and handling it differently from a UUCP connect. The patch is called something like "a user name suffix patch". FYI. There is a new version of Radius available from merit: ftp://ftp.merit.edu/radius/releases/radius.2.3.tar.gz This cut of radius works with FreeBSD but has a problem with one of the images called rladmin. They are supposed to come up with a fix for that shortly. FYI there are denial of service problems with udp storming the radius ports.

I installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a block of the disk that straddles the 1024 cylinder boundary. The root (/) partition, however, is entirely below the boundary. Here's the problem. It won't boot. When I select it off of my boot menu, the FreeBSD BOOT: prompt comes up with its little message. If I let it time out, or press (or anything else for that matter), | appears in the corner of the screen. It does not spin; it just sits there. At that point, I have to coldboot my machine. I cannot get it to boot by pointing a bootdisk to the harddrive either. Please help me on this... I would very much like to be using FreeBSD 2.0.5. :) -dp From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Sep 15 21:22:12 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id VAA28257 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 21:22:12 -0700 Received: from gold.interlog.com (gold.interlog.com [198.53.145.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA28252 for ; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 21:21:55 -0700 Received: from lotbiniere.interlog.com (lotbiniere.interlog.com [198.53.146.76]) by gold.interlog.com (8.6.10/8.6.10) with ESMTP id AAA21471; Sat, 16 Sep 1995 00:21:52 -0400 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by lotbiniere.interlog.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) with SMTP id XAA14678; Fri, 15 Sep 1995 23:48:45 -0400 Message-Id: <199509160348.XAA14678@lotbiniere.interlog.com> X-Authentication-Warning: lotbiniere.interlog.com: Host localhost didn't use HELO protocol To: "Larry Dolinar" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Future Domain and Tekram controllers In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 14 Sep 1995 12:06:13." <41B0D641693@bldg1.croute.com> Date: Fri, 15 Sep 1995 23:48:44 -0400 From: Michel Joly de Lotbiniere Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Larry, The FutureDomain card you mentioned in your post to questions@freebsd.org is a non-busmastering type SCSI controller; you'll be sacrificing some of the efficiencies of SCSI since I/O transfers will require the attention of the OS, not merely the setting-up & results.

I want to be able to have my screen (ViewSonic 21PS) go into total shutdown "green" mode when I stare blindly at it for more than 10 boring minutes. So /etc/sysconfig's got: # Set blank time (in seconds) or "off" to turn it off (or NO for default) blanktime=600 # Set to screen saver desired: blank, green, snake, star (or NO for none) saver="green" Now, if I hang out with a glass tty (ttyv0), this works great. The screen saver kicks in nicely. However, I usually run X all the time. So, things get switched over to ttyv3. So I think I need to vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv3 now instead: # vidcontrol -t 600 < /dev/ttyv3 I've done this manually, as root, but I can't seem to have it make any sort of difference. The only screen saving that goes on is as a result of my .xinitrc: xset s 600 30 & xset s blank & Am I confused?

I believe I tried a motherboard similar to the one you are using. The "built-in 2940" on the motherboard wasn't quite a 2940. It had 3 SCBs instead of 16, among other things. The first major problem was that it returned a different PCI DEVICE ID than the a real 2940 does. But even after correcting for that the aic7870 device driver gets into an infinite loop in one of its routines just as the file systems are mounted.

IDE has one real drawback, you can't chain anywhere near the same extent, so you really have to replace one drive with a larger drive for upgrades. Don't get me wrong, for a high-end machine, I'd go SCSI all the way. But for a machine where you do not head real fast disk access, and can live with a reasonable max of 2-3 Gig, SCSI can't compare to IDE for a cheap fast solution. And on older (486) machines, a VLB IDE controller still gives better performance (by observation, regardless of whether its technically possible). -coranth ------------------------------------------+------------------------+ Coranth Gryphon | "Faith Manages." | | - Satai Delenn | Phone: 603-598-3440 Fax: 603-598-3430 +------------------------+ USMail: 11 Carver St, Nashua, NH 03060 Disclaimer: All these words are yours, except Europa...

It has been quite a while since offered I my idea of adding a system call named getsid() to FreeBSD. Afterwards I have added also a new TIOCGSID ioctl to the system and fixed a bit my initial getsid(). I also modified ps to show the SID instead of the addresses of the session structures. The old "ps -j" is now invoked with "ps -J" in my system. I think my current -j option is much more informative than the original version. Here is a sample of the output from "ps -jax" (jau) 17:02 ~# ps -jax USER PID PPID PGID SID JOBC STAT TT TIME COMMAND root 0 0 0 176 0 DLs ?? 0:00.00 (swapper) root 1 0 1 1 0 Is ?? 0:00.06 /sbin/init -- root 2 0 0 0 0 DL ?? 0:01.37 (pagedaemon) root 3 0 0 0 0 DL ?? 0:00.16 (vmdaemon) root 4 0 0 0 0 DL ?? 0:00.54 (update) root 56 1 56 56 0 Is ?? 0:00.31 syslogd root 65 1 65 65 0 Sgetsid.patch << 'END-of-getsid.patch' X*** /usr/src/lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc.orig Sat May 27 07:17:04 1995 X--- /usr/src/lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc Fri Jul 7 01:46:41 1995 X*************** X*** 17,23 **** X fchflags.o fchmod.o fchown.o fcntl.o flock.o fpathconf.o fstat.o \ X fstatfs.o fsync.o getdirentries.o getdtablesize.o getegid.o \ X geteuid.o getfh.o getfsstat.o getgid.o getgroups.o getitimer.o \ X! getpeername.o getpgrp.o getpid.o getppid.o getpriority.o \ X getrlimit.o getrusage.o getsockname.o getsockopt.o gettimeofday.o \ X getuid.o ioctl.o kill.o ktrace.o lfs_bmapv.o lfs_markv.o \ X lfs_segclean.o lfs_segwait.o link.o listen.o lstat.o \ X--- 17,23 ---- X fchflags.o fchmod.o fchown.o fcntl.o flock.o fpathconf.o fstat.o \ X fstatfs.o fsync.o getdirentries.o getdtablesize.o getegid.o \ X geteuid.o getfh.o getfsstat.o getgid.o getgroups.o getitimer.o \ X! getpeername.o getpgrp.o getpid.o getppid.o getsid.o getpriority.o \ X getrlimit.o getrusage.o getsockname.o getsockopt.o gettimeofday.o \ X getuid.o ioctl.o kill.o ktrace.o lfs_bmapv.o lfs_markv.o \ X lfs_segclean.o lfs_segwait.o link.o listen.o lstat.o \ X*** /usr/include/sys/syscall.h.orig Sun Apr 23 15:22:06 1995 X--- /usr/include/sys/syscall.h Sat Jul 8 00:07:56 1995 X*************** X*** 191,193 **** X--- 191,194 ---- X #define SYS___sysctl 202 X #define SYS_mlock 203 X #define SYS_munlock 204 X+ #define SYS_getsid 205 X*** /usr/include/sys/syscall-hide.h.orig Fri Jul 7 01:14:16 1995 X--- /usr/include/sys/syscall-hide.h Fri Jul 7 01:13:22 1995 X*************** X*** 214,216 **** X--- 214,217 ---- X HIDE_BSD(__sysctl) X HIDE_BSD(mlock) X HIDE_BSD(munlock) X+ HIDE_BSD(getsid) X*** /sys/kern/init_sysent.c.orig Fri Jul 7 09:27:51 1995 X--- /sys/kern/init_sysent.c Fri Jul 7 09:28:25 1995 X*************** X*** 177,182 **** X--- 177,183 ---- X int __sysctl(); X int mlock(); X int munlock(); X+ int getsid(); X int lkmnosys(); X X #ifdef COMPAT_43 X*************** X*** 484,490 **** X { 6, __sysctl }, /* 202 = __sysctl */ X { 2, mlock }, /* 203 = mlock */ X { 2, munlock }, /* 204 = munlock */ X! { 0, nosys }, /* 205 = nosys */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 206 = nosys */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 207 = nosys */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 208 = nosys */ X--- 485,492 ---- X { 6, __sysctl }, /* 202 = __sysctl */ X { 2, mlock }, /* 203 = mlock */ X { 2, munlock }, /* 204 = munlock */ X! /* { 0, nosys }, 205 = nosys */ X! { 1, getsid }, /* 205 = getsid */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 206 = nosys */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 207 = nosys */ X { 0, nosys }, /* 208 = nosys */ X*** /sys/kern/kern_proc.c.orig Tue May 30 11:05:37 1995 X--- /sys/kern/kern_proc.c Sun Jul 9 13:35:29 1995 X*************** X*** 211,216 **** X--- 211,217 ---- X MALLOC(sess, struct session *, sizeof(struct session), X M_SESSION, M_WAITOK); X sess->s_leader = p; X+ sess->s_sid = p->p_pid; X sess->s_count = 1; X sess->s_ttyvp = NULL; X sess->s_ttyp = NULL; X*** /sys/kern/kern_prot.c.orig Fri Jul 7 09:27:51 1995 X--- /sys/kern/kern_prot.c Mon Jul 10 00:00:16 1995 X*************** X*** 95,100 **** X--- 95,149 ---- X return (0); X } X X+ /* X+ * External signature: pid_t getsid (pid_t); X+ * X+ * SVR4 style system call getsid() exists only for X+ * compatibility because this is a trick which is practically X+ * impossible to do from within a user space subroutine.

I tested the effects of "limit maxproc X", and it is most definitely affects other processes. For example, I logged in twice to two different virtual consoles, then I proceeded to run my limit (default is 40) of processes (for testing I used 'sleep 40') on one console. After that, I could not run any processes on the second console, until some processes running on the first console ended. How does one set the default "limit maxproc" value for all users?

I hate to say it, but I'm using g77 right now for a project at work. G6777 is available as a package from FreeBSD 2.0.5 onward I believe. Just ftp it from the archive, pkg_add it, (make sure to add /usr/lib/libexec to your PATH) and you should be all set. A couple little nits, probably nothing to do with FreeBSD, but more with the GNU compiler... I found it rather hard to make C system calls from Fortran - I ended up writing C wrappers for every system call I needed to make from FORTRAN. This has to do with the paramter passing differences between C and FORTRAN. I also had a problem with the symbol names generated by G77 - they all had one or two extra underscores after them and I had to end the names of the C wrapper functions with underscores. Time was a constraint, so I didn't try to figure it out. I also could not get the linker (ld) to bind the object files together. Instead I used the G77 compiler to link and that worked fine! I have to give credit to the FreeBSD team. We've got a pretty decent size FOTRAN program built, running as a client, and communicating via TCP/IP to a server. The best part is that it compiles faster on a 486/50MHz FreeBSD machine (running X, MOTIF, networking, etc) than it does on an HP 9000/720. Hmm, I should see how fast they run. I'm not that familiar with FORTRAN, but if you have any other questions, we can take this offline, and I can try to answer any questions you have.

However, when you want to add a CD-ROM or a DAT or a scanner, you already have the controller so there is no incompatibilities to fear, nothing else to buy. SCSI is plug-and-play whereas IDE is not. IDE is getting better in term of performance (but that costs CPU) but doesn't come close for versatility. Last question, have you ever plugged an IDE disk on a Sun ?

Take a Bt-545 VLB SCSI, you'll run circle around any IDE under BSD.

The "problems" you describe are all classic fortranisms (as found on UN*X). The underscores are by convention, the fortran libraries usually don't directly supply libc, fortran is pass by reference while C is value and in order to get the link right, you need fortran's runtime libraries for the IO system and *only* the compiler even vaguely knows how to get that ld invocation right... :-) (finger down throat). jdl From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Sep 16 22:15:03 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA27044 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 16 Sep 1995 22:15:03 -0700 Received: from saber.cent.com (e0.ptw.com [204.178.60.64]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA27010 for ; Sat, 16 Sep 1995 22:14:56 -0700 Received: (from duane@localhost) by saber.cent.com (8.6.11/8.6.9) id WAA07117; Sat, 16 Sep 1995 22:17:33 -0700 Date: Sat, 16 Sep 1995 22:17:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Duane Ellison X-Sender: duane@saber.cent.com To: Questions - FreeBSD Subject: tun driver limit?
