Idiot that I am, I managed to overwrite the beginning of an important
tape backup with a small quantity of other data. The backup is on a
DDS-4 cartridge, a total of 31 separate files containing about 35 GB
of data. It's clear that the first one or two files have been
overwritten, but after that the original data is still on the tape,
and since it's in separate files, it should be readable--*if* I can
get to it. All positioning commands that I know stop after a double
tape mark. Is there any diagnostic command which can get beyond the
double tape mark?

An 'mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf' a couple of times should get you past the file
mark. Then just dd.

Gents or Ladies,
I have been putting together FREEBSD boxes since 1995/96 and have run
into motherboards that have built in sound cards and vga etc that either
XFREE86 has trouble with or KDE. I have several webservers up and running using
various flavors of FREEBSD from 4.1 back to 3.1 ........... I can never seem to
pick a hardware combo where everything seems to work correctly without major
surgery.
Has anyone tried the INTEL manufactured motherboards such as the
D850MV, D850MD, D850GB with a P4 and sound and stuff on board???? What version
of FREEBSD works best with KDE and XFREE86???
There must be a magic combo that the development team swears by and not
at! I hate buying stuff only to find out it is not supported or has bugs.
Thanks,

I'm having some issues with three separate SuperMicro 6022c SuperServers.
Random reboots, sig 11's in /var/log/messages (most of the coming from
ident2), sig 11's when trying to buildworld (rare but it has happened),
etc.
They all have the same hardware configuration:
* SuperMicro 6022c w/ SUPER P4DC6+ motherboard and Integrated Adaptec
AIC-7899W dual channel U160 SCSI controller.
* Dual Pentium Xeon 2.0 GHz processors.
* Integrated Intel 82559 LAN controller.
* Quantum Atlas 10k III 18GB U160 SCSI drive.
* 2GB of PC800 RDRAM ram (512meg sticks x 4).
Here's what I've done:
* Swapped power supplies between boxes.
* Backed off to 1GB of RAM.
* Removed one processor.
* Swapped RAM between boxes.
* Reinstalled FreeBSD (numerous times).
* Installed WinXP *shiver* and ran some hardware diagnostic software
(passed every time).
* Tried a different brand of RAM.
So after trying everything above and coming to the conclusion that
SuperMicro products just suck, I give them a call and try to get more
ideas and the tech tells me he doesn't think they are compatible with
FreeBSD and I should try running RedHat 7.3, which is of course a non
option :-)
Does anyone else use these boxes with FreeBSD and have luck with them, or
are SuperMicro and FreeBSD not compatible? Does anyone else use FreeBSD
and Dual Xeons, or is that too bleeding edge? Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks in advance,
- C.J.

Hi,
Although I haven't tried their Xeon boards, Supermicro makes solid boards
and cases, we use them exclusively. Make sure you get %100 compatible
RAM (different brand doesn't mean it's compatible or reliable), if that doesn't
help, try different board, it's possible for the board itself to be faulty. I really
doubt this is FreeBSD issue, try running linux on this box and see how it
handles, but be aware, freebsd is much more sensitive to flaky hardware
(which is a good thing, in a long run). I would strip everything down, leave
a single CPU, 1 (or 2 if required) modules of RAM, one drive and take it
from there. There are memory tests, harddrive IO tests, see what causes
the crash. Failed buildworld could mean anything, a failed memory test
alone will most likely indicate faulty memory, you get the picture.
PS: I once had a SCA backplane break and it would cause panics, first
I thought it was RAM, but then realized that it started to happen after I
swapped drives in RAID... so as you can see, it can be a number of things,
but rarely the FreeBSD itself.
Good luck (sometimes you just need it)!
-Simon

I've used FreeBSD on a P4DC6+ system with dual 1.5GHz Xeons, 1GB (and 512MB
RAM, both with 256MB DIMMs), and random SCSI disks hooked up to the onboard
7899.
It worked fine.
There is nothing inherently wrong with SuperMicro boards. They don't suck,
although I have had failures before. (One 370DE6 board came with a bad
serial EEPROM hooked up to the onboard 7899, so the Adaptec bios settings
wouldn't stick. We got it replaced by the reseller without any hassles.)
Is your RAM ECC or not? Do you have parity checking turned on?
The RAM I have in the P4DC6+ is Kingston ValueRAM, and they're 256MB PC800
ECC rambus modules.

Speaking of ValueRAM, I would not recommend it to anyone for a server use, I

I generally use Micron (Crucial) memory, but they don't sell rambus. :)

Thanks everyone for the responses. Just to clear up (sorry I didn't
mention it before) I've tried SyncMax memory which is 'guaranteed to work
in any xeon board' and Samsung Original memory which SuperMicro recommends
for use.
The SyncMax memory has produced hundreds of errors in Memtest86 in the
course of a few hours (total garbage) where the Samsung Original memory
only produced one ECC error that was corrected over the course of a full
day (which to me still seems too high).
Has anyone had problems with the boards being overly picky about room
temperature or power (not getting enough, or not getting clean enough
power)? It was suggested to me that the stock power supplies that come in
the SuperMicro chassis are underpowered.

Anybody know how to take the version 4.6 FreeBSD ISO CD image file on a WIN2K
box and get it copied on a CD using Adaptec Easy CD Creator?? Is it as easy as
doing a data disk or does it require special handling since it needs to boot??
I do have the ISO image file from the ftp site already.
Thanks,
R. Gordon Price

I believe Adaptec Easy CD Creator has a create CD from ISO option which
allows you to just burn the CD.

I've never had CD Creator fail to give me a perfect FreeBSD from the .iso.
It's on the File pulldown, something like "create cd from image".

heya folks
as the usb mass storage on my olympus C-2 digicam isn't supported
by freebsd I looked in the news archives and saw that the Fujifilm
SM-R2 apparently works under the umass driver creating a scsi disk
that can be mounted and used.
so I went and found a company selling them and bought one and I've
just tried to use the blighter and it's not working :(
well, just to make sure I cvsup'd to the latest stable and rebuilt
world (to make sure there was nothing left from my frigging around
with the code to make my olympus digicam work (failed btw) and still
no luck.
when I have it plugged in from boot then it never shows up in dmesg
or under camcontrol devlist. thats what I understand I am supposed
to do with it.
well anyways if I boot up with it disconnected and then plug it in
I get:
Jul 23 21:04:48 blink /kernel: umass0: Hagiwara Sys-Com SmartMedia R/W, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 2
Jul 23 21:04:48 blink /kernel: umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)

(and repeat for a while, eventaully followed by)

Jul 23 21:05:31 blink /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
Jul 23 21:05:31 blink /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry
if I camcontrol devlist while it's BBB'ing then the umass device
appears, but then it goes away again.
I've got usb, umass, pass, da etc in the kernel. what am I doing wrong?
I'd really aprecciate the help here. I bought this reader so I could use my
camera under freebsd and not need windows...
cheers
dave

Does anything work USB-wise on this machine? Looks like you've got things
configured OK.

Assuming you are running 4.x, you could try Joe's USB upgrade patches,
available at: http://www.josef-k.net:/misc/RELENG_4-USB-20020301.patch.gz
These greatly improved the stability of my USB, though I was able to use
the SM-R2 without them.

Hi all,
Looked through 4.6's HARDWARE.TXT, and poked around -CURRENT, but
couldn't find anything specific regarding Intel 82562ET (10/100 NIC)
support under FreeBSD.
I found this post in the archives, from June:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=23942+25712+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-hardware/20020609.freebsd-hardware
It sounds like bad news... But didn't receive any replies. Can someone
confirm or deny this?
I'm considering the Intel 815EBM1 server board in some builds, and
want to know if I'll be able to use the on-board NIC.
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/s815ebm1/index.htm
Thoughts?
- Ryan
