I've set the permissions to 444 and I'm still seeing the same corruption, so it must be something running as root, or something quite low level. No console messages and I don't really know where to look for error logs - I think you're right and it's not apache. I've started to notice some other strange corruptions - some php files seem to become binary on a remote machine, even though my local copies are fine. Perhaps it's the server... but we've never had this trouble before, and it seems a little too much like what's happening on my machine to be a coincidence. One file I tried uploading with two different gui ftp clients and via command line, in ascii, binary and auto mode, and again the same thing happened each time - my browser complained of unknown ascii characters and kate (text editor) told me it was a binary file even though it looked ok. I tried changing the encoding and that made no difference. I am actually quite worried now. There seems to be something holding all these occurences together, but I can't quite work out what it is. Does anyone have any ideas where to look? I'd really appreciate it!

Please forgive me for being quite new to FreeBSD... I noticed while I'm trying to monitor my network from my laptop while running fragrouter -B1 and trying to monitor the connections coming to and going from another machine on the same network through ettercap or ethereal that I get a lot of No buffer space available messages as following: SEND L3 ERROR: 1500 byte packet (0800:06) destined to 192.168.1.4 was not forwarded (libnet_write_raw_ipv4(): -1 bytes written (No buffer space available) ) I even was not able to nmap the other machine. I was trying to run these test over my iwi0 card and I'm on FreeBSD 6.1-RC While googling I found several posts about setting certain kernel parameters with sysctl and stuff can help but I didn't really get the clear picture of the problem and how it can be resolved, if it is considered a problem.

My Hotel supplier then informed me that AWT and Swing is not available at the moment. So, here is my question: Is it true? If, yes. Are you nice guys thinking of making it available in the future?

For quite some time now, hosts.deny has been deprecated and its functionality conflated with that of hosts.allow. If you want to maintain a separate file for denied addresses, it should be included in your hosts.allow with the following syntax: sshd : /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny The file /etc/hosts.deniedssh contains only valid hosts_options(5) address specifications, which are expanded into the rule each time it is checked. Of course, the mere fact of hosts.deny's deprecation does not mean it won't work, but in general, if you don't have an extant hosts.deny, you are better off using the more modern, presumably better supported, style rather than deliberately setting up an already obsolescent configuration. In your case, Kris, I can see that it should make your script rather simpler to implement - you need only write addresses to the deny file, rather than a more complete rule. YMMV, and all that.

So I changed FirstVT to 4. This had the undesirable effect of causing GDM to be unresponsive to the keyboard (mouse still worked). Then I changed FirstVT to 5... keyboard now works.

As far as I know, any JRE or JDK based on Java 1.4.2 or 1.5.0 will support both AWT and Swing. A recent development made it much easier to obtain and run run "native" FreeBSD java packages, obviating the need in most cases to run a Linux binary and/or to compile the JDK from source.

As a general rule, if the platform can install a dhcp server with the pxeboot options, and a basic tftp server, it can pxeboot anything you want it to. Now, this doesn't mean that what you pxeboot will be able to get auxillary files it needs off the server, but that's to be expected, and planned for (that's why the next server option is there, after all!). ------------------------------ Message: 23 Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 20:30:57 GMT From: "Thomson Course Technology"<CT.News@thomson.com> Subject: New Release on Cooking Basics from Maran Illustrated!

If I won't help you I would at least (I hope) learn a little from reactions :-). As far as I know Intel boxes scale quite badly to larger SMP configurations because of at least partially shared FSB which limits memory throughput and which is also consumed great deal by cache coherency maintenance traffic I believe. Dual core may help a little I suppose (I would expect that Intel engineers made memory snooping a little more efficient when accesses are going through one piece of silicon (e.g. the cache coherency traffic's pressure on FSB should be lower between the cores on the same die in comparison to separate cores)). As you may have guessed by now I think that there's some possibility that you would get better performance with AMD Opteron based solution (I know that Dell doesn't normally sell it though) which probably scaler better or even something more "exotic" (Sun Hardware - UltraSparc, T processors). Even when there isn't pressure on the I/O hardware in your case you may have suboptimally configured PostgreSQL. I believe that PostgreSQL processes do not tend to grow much (at least in comparison to other RDBMS engines). I think that the explanation by psql people is that the huge amounts of memory other engines are using is often used for caching the data and that they (psql) believe that the operating system should be doing that (otherwise you waste memory on caching both in the OS and in the application). With huge databases you should at the end become I/O bound (or at least there must be big I/O traffic) and then I would agree with psql people that there's not much point replicating OS caching in the DB engine. But if crucial parts of working data fit into the memory I would expect that storing them in process should be beneficial. I expect there must be at least a little data verification and shuffling before psql uses the pages from the DB files. Maybe the amount of this work is negligible with real disk I/O, but it may play some role when no real disk I/O is involved. Another explanation why PostgreSQL doesn't grow much may be that they use a lot of shared memory and this is in general probably rather scarce resource (at least the users have to configure something rather low-level to have it up and running). What are your needs regarding the SQL engine anyway? Can't the needs be fulfilled by something other than PostgreSQL? I hate to say that, but possibly MySQL? Or can Firebird be better? I don't know firebird much but I think that it is quite full-featured and although it isn't such widespread it has great performance at least in some benchmarks. What about the operating system? I haven't seen FreeBSD mentioned in your question but I suppose you are running it (because you write to a FreeBSD ML). What about Linux? (Open)Solaris? I think when you are in such big need for performance you shouldn't try just one solution. We (FreeBSDers) would of course like to help you to get the best performance from our favorite OS but maybe you will help make FreeBSD better if you find your application runs considerably better on something else and someone may later find the reason. Last I would like to only express my belief that bigger cache may in fact help you but that nobody can probably say it in advance.

No. 'Inactive' can (and usually does) include memory that was used by processes that are no longer running. > However I see some discrepancy.

Keep in mind that the resident size of a process (as displayed by top(1) or ps(1)) includes any shared libraries it is using. Memory for shared libraries can however be shared between several different processes. If you have several instances of the same program running at the same time their codepages are usually shared. This means that the total memory used by a set of processes is usually *less* then the sum of their size as displayed by ps(1) or top(1). -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se ------------------------------ Message: 30 Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 18:41:56 -0400 From: nthwaver@gmail.com Subject: Cloning boot drive - more details To: "FreeBSD Questions" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Message-ID: <17b33a80604251541h7140866cp46e680404204c61c@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 My system partitions (/, swap, /usr, /var, /home) are currently spread onto a 10GB and a 20GB IDE drive, but I'd like to save space by consolidating these along with some (not heavily accessed) data partitions into a larger 250GB disk. The other drives (at this point a couple of SATA in RAID0) should be unaffected. I'm a relative newbie and although I've read the handbook and the past months' threads regarding cloning, I still have a few questions. 1) Am I correct in understanding that I can simply connect the new drive to a spare IDE controller and boot from the old disk, using sysinstall to make the new partitions and give them temporary mount points (choosing "yes" to install bootmanager), then dump | restore to move each FS, and simply take out the old drives and switch over to the new one? Will this boot and run seamlessly? At what point should I edit the old /etc/fstab that was copied over? If I *can* do this, then what are the benefits of doing a fresh install on the new drive first? 2) If I dump | restore from a *running* system, will the resulting clone be confused when it's booted up? Are any crucial changes or balancing acts made upon shutdown that the new drive will miss? Or, is its main purpose fulfilled when it's loaded into memory on boot? 3) The handbook also recommends using boot0config, but how necessary is this if I just plan on simply replacing the original drive? 4) How are the prospects of data recovery affected by FreeBSD's use of "slices" for filesystems on top of partitions? Experience tells me that with traditional partitions, a corrupted file tree or data in one area needn't prevent retreival of the other areas. Is this so with "slices" as well?

This sounds exactly like what is happening to me. Does it happen to every file, or just a few? Or just one? If the problem is Apache, though, it doesn't explain the other problems I've been having, like the corrupted ftp uploads. Perhaps they are unrelated? Or perhaps Apache is not the problem? Or maybe I've been cursed for having an operating system of which the logo is a devil ;-) > Try to ask directly on the freebsd-apache mailing list. OK, I'll try that too, thanks for the tip.
