    Horrible iSCSI (istgt) performance

    I've gotta chime in on this... So there are some 'alternate' ways to do iSCSI. First of all make sure you've got your nic's setup with optimal MTU's (for FreeBSD best to set to 8244) 2nd of all, make sure you create your block devices with 4k or 8k alignment. Now for the good...

    wlan with ath+wpa, dhcp but no ping or anything else?

    I have the same problem. I've had my DLink AP for five years, and it's given me nothing but headaches with FreeBSD. So, I replaced it with an ASUS RT-n56u. (Should have bought the CISCO) I have the same problem, I have wlan0, ath and wpa2, I authenticate to the AP, DHCP delivers an IP...

    Netgear WG111v3 USB NIC DHCP problem

    Works great! OMG, thank you SOOO much SirDice! I have had this problem for three years with my D-link router, and it's driven me crazy. I'll use FreeBSD just fine outside of the house, but at home with my wlan0 interface and FreeBSD 8, I have a hell of a time getting dhclient to get the...

    gdm/gnome slow boot

    Fixing GDM/Gnome startup time OK, so here is how you fix it.... (Generally, I'll have to give more detailed instructions later) The problem is that metacity doesn't register correctly with DBUS, so there is a 10-30 second timeout. What you do is launch metacity within GDM with the...

    gdm/gnome slow boot

    ====== This thread is a bit old, but I'm having the same problem. On my system, the problem is with metacity, OR metacity.desktop file, OR gnome-session. The problem is that metacity is taking too long (or isn't) registering its self with gnome-session. There is at least a 10 second...

    mountroot problem

    Problem resolved. So the mountroot problem has been solved. The issue had nothing to do with BSD. There are TWO separate problems with the hardware. One is with the USB interface (intermittent) The other was with the SD cards. Apparently, there are many bad SD cards out there. I've...

    mountroot problem

    made some progress... Well, I made some progress on this issue. Not 100% sure of the solution yet.... I am able to plug a 2nd USB device in, and THEN the GEOM label data is read. Looks like the geom label data doesn't get read with just the single SD card installed... I'm wondering if...

    mountroot problem

    I have a frustrating problem. I'm booting up release 8, and mountroot can't find, or mount the root slice. The system BIOS can see the drive. It loads the kernel, but when it comes to mounting root, the system can't see the drive, or slice. I get the mountroot prompt, if I hit ? I see NO...

    Having no luck with firefox dev team

    Fetch? You say you need to let the page process, but do you really? If you just need the files, why not use fetch? I guess unless you really need to page to process whatever script it's executing. Larry

    I can't get wlan0 to create via rc.conf with: wlans_iwi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" I CAN clone the interface after rc.conf with: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwi0 at a shell prompt. The wireless networking works fine after that, in fact it works great. I just want to startup the...

    HOW TO: get ipw2200 (iwi) working with ndis / WPA

    So is native IWI working in FreeBSD 8? My iwi interface has been working just fine in 7.2 Now, though in FreeBSD 8 (on my laptop) my native iwi interface won't come up. Since there is a posting for making the ndis version work, does that mean that iwi is broken in 8? Thanks. Larry

    Memory integrity algorythms in kernel...

    Yesterday, a paper was released by Google providing a two year study about bit errors in DRAM. It was found that dram errors are far more common than previously thought. In fact, the research shows that the problem occurs about 1000% more than previous claims (by hardware mfg's of course)...
