I propose we work on an animated bootup screen. Instead of having a static image loaded by the kernel, that we write the code to have the image, and maybe an overlayed screen with animations that display what's actually going on, and also maybe saying "press F1 for verbose mode" and it'll display the kernel text overlayed on the bootup screen. I've been looking at the kernel code, check out /usr/src/sys/dev/fb/ or if you're interested in looking at the bootup code check out /usr/src/sys/boot/i386 -Mark |

This is a good idea, if somebody knows how to do this, feel free and
commit it to FreeBSD :)

This is something a little beyond that. What we were talking about, was
an animated screen, which shows bootup info, similar to how some Linux's
do it :)

1.3 partitions layout suggestions: For disk encryption feature, videly used on notebooks, I suggest to make default partitions scheme like this: scheme nr1: /boot 150MB swap 1000MB / rest of free space /usr/home mounted from file:/usr/homespace (custom size, possible encrypted) scheme nr2: /boot 150MB swap 1000MB / 2GB (userland and logs) /usr rest of free space (/usr/home, /usr/src, /usr/port, etc...) Explanation: If you need root space encryption then we need at least one "plain" space from where we can boot kernel and where to store encryption keys. For more information about FreeBSD encryption I'd suggest to look at this webpage: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/1139.en.html We may even make /boot partition read-only for better crash resistance. Another idea is to use /home as file backed encrypted filesystem- then we can do backup by just copying /usr/homespace.eli file to NAS server or write it onto CD/DVD. Possibilities are endless. We can add swap space as file based filesystem (256MB file as SWAP space): # dd if=/dev/null of=/usr/swap0 bs=1m count=256 # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/swap0 -u 1 # swapon /dev/md1 Type: "mdconfig -lu 1" to check md1 disk state. P.S. I already played with different encryption technologies here and found FreeBSD existing features very reliable. Andrei |

A little off topic, but I personally like creating partitions that mount under other non-root directories. For example: /usr/local: /usr `--local well the installation doesn't allow you to do this. Would it be possible for this issue to be addressed? I always find myself creating a blank partition, then formatting it manually when the system is already installed/running and adding it manually to the fstab file. -Mark Andrei Kolu wrote: > 1.3 partitions layout suggestions: > > For disk encryption feature, videly used on notebooks, I suggest to make > default partitions scheme like this: > > scheme nr1: > /boot 150MB > swap 1000MB > / rest of free space > /usr/home mounted from file:/usr/homespace (custom size, possible encrypted) > > scheme nr2: > /boot 150MB > swap 1000MB > / 2GB (userland and logs) > /usr rest of free space (/usr/home, /usr/src, /usr/port, etc...) > > Explanation: > If you need root space encryption then we need at least one "plain" space from > where we can boot kernel and where to store encryption keys.

Hi! 1.3 test2 Installer shows error message about about md4 disk creation- that means /var partition is not created and all errors are sent to /dev/null. We need one free terminal console (for example: ALT+F3) for logging error messages for debugging purposes. And I still want "Handsfree" function in installer badly- this is not hard to implement- just have to log all options selected in installer to file and after installation is finished there should be option for saving this file to some removable disk on even into PC-BSD base system for later use. Good news is that Installer kernel recognise SMP system by default and use both processors. Andrei |

Strange that if I select available drives couple of times then they were added to next windows couple of times and it says: error you don't have enough space- but I generated two 4444MB virtual drives in Qemu. I was unable to start installer in SMP mode- maybe it loads too long- but with single mode it works really fast. When making mirror there should be SWAP space on every drive or else losing one drive renders other system unusable without swap space. CCD is too old to include anyway- replace it with RAID0 (stripe) instead. Andrei |

PORT: sysutils/smartmontools The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes support for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. WWW: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net #### #echo 'smartd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf #### PORT: sysutils/ataidle ATAidle is a utility to set the power management features of ata hard drives. This includes idle and standby timeouts, APM and acoustic level settings, and it can show details about the installed devices. Author: Bruce Cran <bruce at cran.org.uk> WWW: http://www.cran.org.uk/bruce/software/ataidle/ Especially good additions for notebook owners and for users who are environment friendly. Andrei |

There we go :) The original poster was talking about the type of splash
screen you see in SuSE or RH, not FreeBSD's native version. Something
that lets you display a nice screen, with bootup information scrolling
in middle of it, along with maybe a progress bar. As far as I can tell,
FreeBSD doesn't have support for this yet. Somebody would have to port
it over or write it in. Right now the FBSD screensaver just covers the
entire startup output, and isn't animated in any way.

Correction again: you are talking about bootscreen not screensaver like red devil raiding console when idle. This animated "application" that is loaded before kernel can read konsole messages and show appropriate info on screen in graphical mode. I already read underlying code and developers says that unfortunately this is not supported right now but may be changed in future- and future is WE. We need some devel to work this out and submit code to main FreeBSD tree. andrei |

So the point is still the same :) This would have to be developed and
submitted to FreeBSD guys. Anybody want to do it? :P

Anybody want to do it? :P Out of intrest, what would have to be developed, as per my understanding the boot screens use the same code as the screensavers, maybe the hardest part would actually be creating the screensaver (eg. bootscreen) i'm fidling aro= und now to see if i can get the little bouncing daemon to come up as a (animate= d) startup graphic. Anyways on a side note, maybe we should all join #pcbsd and discuss this in real time :P Cheers =2D-=20 Hello? Enema Bondage? I'm calling because I want to be happy, I guess ... |

I found this interesting feature for /etc/devd.conf:
-------------------------------------------------------------
attach 0 {
device-name "umass0";
action "sleep 2 && test -c /dev/da0s1 && /sbin/mount_msdosfs -m
777 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash";
};
detach 0 {
device-name "umass0";
action "umount -f /mnt/flash";

It worked on 5.2 but haven't tested it in 6.1.

Just one problem... ATM we cant unmount a device after it has been taken out,
as it can cause file loss and the like. And if you do, you are left with the
entry still in /dev... Maybe a good thing to find out is if there is a way to
disable WB-caching for certain disks?
Cheers

devd.conf is working on hardware level, this is not a plain script here.
detach 0 command is exactly the way to prevent crashing if some device is
removed.

Just tested it now on 6.1-STABLE - Kernel seems to panic and the machine
reboots...

Are you sure it is mounted in /mnt/flash?
Show me /var/log/messages file.

Yip, i checked and it mounted the drive fine, however when i unplugged it=20
AFAIK the kernel pancied...
Last lines of /var/log/messages
Aug 25 12:54:14 federico kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
Aug 25 12:54:14 federico kernel: da0: <Generic USB Flash Disk 0.00> Removab=

Direct Access SCSI-2 device
Aug 25 12:54:14 federico kernel: da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
Aug 25 12:54:14 federico kernel: da0: 250MB (512000 512 byte sectors: 64H=20
32S/T 250C)
I ran devd in debugging mode, and it did all the right things.... Just
disconnecting it....

startup graphic.
Anyways on a side note, maybe we should all join #pcbsd and discuss this in
real time :P

If FreeBSD boot loader can load drivers and bootlogo, then it should be able to run animated screensavers too- why it's not done yet is beyound me. Andrei |
