I had 6 Maxtor SATA drives running under FreeBSD 5.2.1 up to 5.4.
Installed on three mail servers. After 6 months and 7 drive swaps I had
my vendor send Seagate drives and all my problems disappeared. Issues
varied from drives just "falling off" to DMA issues, to drives showing
as corrupted and then testing good at the vendor after being returned.
These were Maxtor 6Y080M0 and 6Y160MO drives. Running under onboard SATA
or Highpoint Rocket Raid cards. Systems are SuperMicro, three servers
delivered at the same time, one server was replaced after 3 months but
problems continued until it's drives were replaced as well (the
replacement server came with Maxtor drives installed again).
I tested for cable issues, Goggled for FreebSD issues, updated the
kernel, BIOS changes, drive settings, heat issues, etc. No joy. With no
other changes than an upgrade to Seagate drives the systems have run
without intervention for 11 months now. These are high traffic mail
toasters.
The Maxtor drives were problematic for us from the start, and not even
heavy enough to make good door stops.

I solved the problem by putting pentium3 instead of pentium3[m].
So why it's stated "pentium3[m]" in line 35 of
/usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf ?
# (Intel CPUs) nocona pentium4[m] prescott pentium3[m] pentium-m
# pentium2 pentiumpro pentium-mmx pentium i486 i386

It is just a shorthand for 'pentium3 pentium3m'.
The [xxx] syntax is often used in used in Unix documentation to denote
an optional part of a command line (or similar.) In this case it is the
letter 'm' which can be added or not.

Subject: threads in 5.4 and 5.5
To: freebsd-...@freebsd.org
Message-ID: <200605092132...@noc.mainstreet.net>
Hello,
What is the canonical way to compile programs that use posix threads
on freebsd 5.4+, with gcc?
I've seen comments that say that -pthread, used in 4.x, should go away
for 5.x. But, for example, /usr/ports/security/openssl uses -pthread.
So, use it? Don't use it? Should I care?
And what does it mean when a program works with one thread
library and not another? I've got a case like this:
libpthread.so.1: chew up cpu, then SEGV
libthr.so.1: chew up cpu, but works!
libc_r.so.5: works great!
This is changed with libmap.conf.
Does this point to any particular shady coding practice?
Once I know that libc_r is my friend, does this suggest
a certain set of compile flags and/or link flags?
Thanks,
-mark

[] is usually shorthand for an optional variant
i.e. pentium3[m] means pentium3 or pentium3m

-pthread is still the recommended way, I think.

Could point to a race between two threads that is only lost when the
threads actually run on two CPUs. libc_r switches between threads on a
single processor, where libthr and libpthread allow multiple threads to
execute at once.

Nope. I just run a local copy with the setuid bit taken off.

Subject: dummynet on vlan parent interfaces
To: freebsd-...@freebsd.org

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Hi,
I am attempting to set up contended bandwidth of varying levels, using
vlans and dummynet.
I have 3 nics, one for each level of service, and am simply setting the
parent interface of each vlan device to the correct nic for required level.
I was then hoping to limit the whole real nic as a whole, to produce
contention.
Initially I tried:-
pipe 300 ip from any to any in via ste0
pipe 1300 ip from any to any out via ste0
But saw no packets hitting these rules. After a read of the ipfw manpage i
thought enabling the sysctl variable "net.link.ether.ipfw" might help,
which did indeed get me hits in one direction, but I still get no hits in
the outbound direction.
I'm guessing this is something to do with where dummynet sits in the whole
scheme of things, but basically just want to know if there is a way to do
what I'm trying or am I going about this the wrong way?
Cheers,
Dunc

I said in my original message that I was on 6.0-STABLE, but this
appears to have been inacurate (I was judging by the URLs printed by
pkg_add -r ) - uname(1) reports that I'm on 6.1-BETA4.

I was installing beep-media-player yesterday through the ports
collection. I was doing alot of manual upgrading of ports to get it
done, never was able to get the entire thing working, because of
dependencies. I noticed my things weren't able to execute, with the
error: Most things execute without lib errors, all the X apps get this
error. I'm thinking the base of the issue might be expat
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libexpat.so.5" not found requred
by "libfontconfig.so.1"
among some others like
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgobject-2.0.so.600" not found,
required by "xchat"
for xchat and freefontconfig
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgmodule-2.0.so.600" not found,
required by "gaim"
for gaim and mplayer
You get the drift. Not sure how to easily fix this.
Thanks.

Greetings:
I just looked at the new FreeBSD logo and it's an interesting
abstraction of the daemon motif of the old logo.
Among other things, like running two installations of FreeBSD v6, one
as a production server to host my web
site and the other as a desktop and development server, I do fine art
and graphics. The logo has an etherial
feel to it (forgive the pun). But if someone new to FreeBSD sees the
logo and hasn't seen the old logo, he
or she might wonder what the cone shaped designs are sticking out of
the glass like ball and what they are
supposed to represent. So aesthetically it's engaging but too much of
an abstraction of the theme.
As far as psychology goes, Apple uses the apple with a bite out of it
which has a dual significance. One that
invokes the idea of giving an apple to the teacher and the other is the
Biblical symbol of temptation and transgression.
I think that that is why Apple doesn't have a bigger market share. The
FreeBSD logo pushes a similar button.
The icon of the adversary. I am not offended by the new or the old
logo, accept that there seems to be too much
of a trend toward cartoon character art. This, I presume is to appeal
to the child in us all. But seriously when do we
actually get to be grownups.
I like FreeBSD. But I wouldn't but a logo sticker on my windshield. I
have used Macs from the beginning and don't
have a Mac logo sticker on anything, either. I have and use Linux
systems and don't particularly care for the cute
little penguin either. I have seen a more mature take on the penguin
emblem that I was impressed with.
It was used by a L.U.G. based in Maryland or thereabouts. I would like
to see a mature logo for FreeBSD.
Thanks all for being here;

i dont mind saying that i think i must be about the only one who likes the
new art. i think its very modern looking, crisp and abreviated,
un-childish, but at the same time not too serious or ominous.
ive actually thought about printing out some examples of both versions,
carrying it down to our artists in our print studio, and "taste testing"
them with professional artists who couldnt give one care about anything
technical. *shrug* would be an interesting experiment, to say the least.

This feels like a version mis-match. Can you re-install

"Branch tag for FreeBSD 6.0
RELENG_6_0
So, FreeBSD 6.0 was officially released. At the time this happened it
was decided, after
a lot of testing and other quality control procedures, that the code
in 6-STABLE should
be turned into a release. But since FreeBSD is a very complex piece
of software it is
inevitable that eventually a security issue would need to be addressed
or some other
critical issue would need to be fixed. That is what this branch of
development is for.
It used as the spot in the source archive for only critical fixes and
items which address
security issues. This model ensures that officially released FreeBSD
versions contain
only the most reliable of code while still having bugs and security
issues fixed."
What about errata fix branches, they are not limited to just critical
and security fixes?
Also update the doc, change 6.0 to 6.1.

I'm not sure if anyone would find this information useful, but I had
asked if anyone knew why I was seeing about 10-20 lines of random pixels
at the top of my screen any time I enabled cups, or webmin in rc.conf.
After months of trying to figure out the problem, I found the cause. In
my machine I had an ATI TV Wonder Pro (crap) capture card. After
removing this card from my machine, the problem went away. I'm not sure
why the card caused this problem, but now that the card is out,
everything is fine.
Thanks to those of you that emailed in an attempt to help me resolve the
issue. Hopefully if anyone else experiences this issue, this post helps.

I quite like the new logo, i think the new one is far more
professional then the old one, though i liked them both.

After make installworld I ran the final run thru of mergemaster and recived
this error:
ERROR CODE 64
FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'dc' into /usr/src/etc/ and install files to the
temproot environment.
Cant say how far it got before this error but it looked like iwas going
along pretty good.
Upon reboot there were at least one system files missing, like hosts. I'm
not sure if ither files failed as well.
I chmod 777 on that directory but did not help. Also noticed samab did not
start from rc.conf although it loads and runs from the prompt. But these are
just symptoms of the error I hope.
Should I be concerned about this? How to fix and move on?

Well, if I'm understanding you correctly, you
should type "adduser".
But, from the sound of it, it wouldn't hurt to try
most of all of the following as well:
# man adduser
# man tcsh
# man builtin
# man man
# man hier
# man ls
# man more
HTH,

I would say that there isn't an old one. Beastie is a little bit older
than FreeBSD and I would understand it as mascot, not as a logo. So the
new logo is not a replacement, but rather something that is missing for
many years; and Beastie is still alive.

Björn
