FreeBSD.org改版了
Emily Boyd同学设计的新版 www.FreeBSD.org 今天上线了,很漂亮。不知道我们什么时候能让中文版跟上……
参与评论www.delphij.net 改用 lighttpd
易帜了!易帜了!
经过测试发现,lighttpd的性能要比Apache好。虽然还不是很熟悉,但是这一步迟早要迈出去的。我觉得一个技术人员的生命终结的标志就是开始毫无理由地拒绝尝试新事物。
阅读全文…How to make FreeBSD to permit several programs to play sound simutiously?
You may have noticed that FreeBSD by default does not allow many programs to play sound at same time. For instance, you generally can not hear GAIM sound when you are hearing MP3.
Fortunately, this can be resolved if you have read the documentations. Now I write here so you can also Google it :-)
Add a single line into /etc/sysctl.conf:
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=16
Then, reboot (or if you are careful enough, shut down all programs that is using sound subsystem, then run /etc/rc.d/sysctl restart)
阅读全文…期待RELENG_6_0
本周应该差不多了吧,不知道会有多少个RC哦……
参与评论口水仗又打起来了……
不到4分钟就有人反对我提高某一默认值的提议,不过我还是在游说这样做的好处。
参与评论Colin Percival has imported his bsdiff related stuff
This is an important step of getting the tools like freebsd-update and portsnap into base system, which provides good method of updating the base system (through binary updates) and ports tree.
参与评论AMD64 string function optimizations
So time comes that we should consider whether some of our string operations is not optimial and needs some operation. NetBSD seems to have done a lot of good work to make their MD layer better, and we should take these improvements if they are proven.
David O’Brien has pointed out that we should be careful on this, however, since some micro optimizations may hinder performance in a large scenario. With this concern in mind, I will redo some more benchmarks and request for -arch@’s idea before considering commiting the patchset. Currently, the NetBSD implementation of swab(2) is proven to be slower than the GCC generated code by about 25%. I will look into the assembly code generated to see whether I can help to solve this.
阅读全文…一个新的panic
今天的测试过程中发现了一个新的panic:
panic: mpt_get_request: corrupted request free list (ccb)
这个panic似乎与swap的消耗有关,初步定为为LSI SCSI卡驱动的问题。port 7上面的mpt驱动中。
阅读全文…BSD授权的自我保护
以前一直觉得BSD授权在某些污染型伪自由软件授权面前显得很被动——似乎他们可以任意地剽窃代码而阻止代码以BSD授权发布——然而仔细读来,BSD其实是一个有自我保护能力的授权,它的第一条条款:
阅读全文…终于搞定了中文Handbook的校对
其实说是校对也不过是统一了一下文字。自己翻译的部分现在还没有仔细地重新阅读,谁帮忙看看啊?
