As I read it, you dismissed software RAID for reliability purposes. I was stating that it can be used for that purpose. My vinum volumes allowed me to survive for a long time without backups (bad idea, don't do that), and for the past years have allowed me to survive without having to restore my backups. This through about 5 failing ATA disks and multiple upgrades of the storage space. I'd say it was worth it for me, including reliability. If you need speed, or have the cash, etc, you can go for hardware RAID. But even there I've seen and heard horror stories of incompatible disks, spontaneously lost configurations or even worse, silent data corruption due to a bad disk. I didn't say these things couldn't happen on a hardware array. I said that when these things do happen, it's worse for a software array than a hardware array, and that they happen a lot more on a software array. In my experience, when bad things happen, it was the same for the software RAID arrays as for the hardware RAID arrays. Regular vinum does have a few warts (notably, online rebuilding is b0rked) but other than that it's the same procedure: remove bad drive, add new drive, rebuild. I agree that I've seen more failures with software RAID than hardware RAID. And certainly cost is a factor in that. It still comes down to cost vs downtime. The only thing I 'objected' to in your post was the fact that you dismissed vinum as being useful in reliability situations.

Yes, but that's what I was refuting in part; I've used it for reliability purposes to great effect, as I stated. So IMHO it's also a great thing if you need reliability for a lower price. Well that may be so but RAID reliability is kind of like this: if there's 10 people running it and 9 of them have no problems and one of them does, then be very afraid! You might be that 10th person. The desirable situation with RAID reliability is to have all 10 people with no problems, and a series of vague rumors that someone heard that a friend of a friend might of had a problem, then when you bother chasing it down you find the person was smoking pipeweed. Another way of saying it is that my kernel crashdump file of a blown-up vinum install that blew my array - which is online for anyone to download if they so choose as I post this - is worth 500 of your testimonals about how reliable vinum is. It was not my intent to describe vinum as being 'better' than the hardware RAID. As I read it, you dismissed software RAID for reliability purposes. I do. From a structural standpoint a lot more things can go wrong with it. I was stating that it can be used for that purpose. My crashdump file says raid isn't a reliable means of getting out of having to backup your data. I didn't say these things couldn't happen on a hardware array. I said that when these things do happen, it's worse for a software array than a hardware array, and that they happen a lot more on a software array. In my experience, when bad things happen, it was the same for the software RAID arrays as for the hardware RAID arrays. How many hardware arrays vs software arrays do you deal with? Over the last decade I think I've directly admined about 20-30 different makes and models of hardware array cards in different servers. I've lost about 3 disks in those. Admittedly not a lot. But so far I've never had one that lost a disk where replacing the disk didn't recover the array. Oh sure, some of them you had to do some really stupid things like take the server down completely for half the day to do it. But they all came back. During this time I've admined exactly 3 servers on software arrays. One was a news server using ccd which ran for years. The other are 2 vinum servers one of which is going strong, the other blew up due to a bad SCSI cable which wrote garbage on 2 drives making the array unrecoverable. In my experience if the reliabilty was equal, none of the software arrays should have given trouble and one or two of the hardware ones should have blown. Now granted in my vinum case the scsi cable is at fault. But, the log clearly shows vinum trying a write to one disk, getting a parity error, trying a write to another, getting another parity error, then the server freezing. The problem with vinum in this instance wasn't the initial parity errors and freezing. In fact, THAT was exactly what should have happend - shut the works down before you write garbage over the entire disk. The problem was that after a very simple error like that only a few blocks of data on the disks would have been bad so the vinum manager should have been able to recover the array to the point that it could be mounted again, so that fsck could have ripped out a handful of files and got the disk clean. Could this same have happend with a hardware array card? Probably. But I would be betting that the recovery routines in any hardware raid could have got the array to the point that a higher level tool like fsck could have got at least some data off it. And in any case, regardless of whether using software or hardware arrays, you should be backing up. I didn't with my software array and data was lost (fortunately not my data, and I don't know if the people who had data on it were backing their data up, they were supposed to, but I don't trust anyone on that) So I was stupid. Don't you or anyone else be stupid - learn from my mistake. Regular vinum does have a few warts (notably, online rebuilding is b0rked) but other than that it's the same procedure: remove bad drive, add new drive, rebuild. I agree that I've seen more failures with software RAID than hardware RAID. And certainly cost is a factor in that. It still comes down to cost vs downtime. What? I don't think I understand what your saying with that statement. RAID when used for reliability is because you cannot be backing up continuously - for example you have a database server that is receiving writes throughout the day, you raid it because you

Localhost URL's for various www-based admin interfaces: Webmin (unless you configure it differently) defaults to: http://localhost:1 or, if you have SSL up and running at https://localhost:1 Swat ([S]amba [W]eb [A]dministration [T]ool) - once enabled - is available at:http://localhost:901 CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is available at: http://localhost:631 Ports you may care to install: Webmin: /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin Samba: /usr/ports/net/samba3 These are some suggestions only, and obviously predicated on the assumption you want to enable printing via Samba/CUPS. Should you wish to approach the matter from a Unix-only perspective, YMMV. Like I said, this is just my laptop connected to a printer via the parallel port. Nothing to do with Windows, Samba nor a web server. I'll be happy enough if I can get the basics up and running. Please don't top post. I adjusted it so that the archives will reflect the generally accepted form Unfortunately I gotta recuse myself at this point. I don't know how to do what it is you seek. That said though if anyone *does* know, I'll be lurking 'n learning :-) -Colin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Logging to custom file via syslog [was]: [Repost] php log to own syslog file
Kevin Kinsey wrote: Gerard Samuel wrote: Im trying to figure out how to setup FreeBSD 5.3 to log php events to its own log file via syslog.

Am I doing something wrong on the FreeBSD side of things?? Thanks PHP as an Apache module? IANAE, but wouldn't you have to change log settings in httpd.conf? I dont think so. These errors, that I want to log, are initiated by the php function syslog() (look at the example above). These messages are supposed to go to the syslogd daemon, not to httpd's log file. In the example above, if I change the priority from LOG_INFO to LOG_WARNING, the error messages go to /var/log/messages. I just need it to start going to its own file. The ultimate goal, is that I want to have a cluster of webservers, logging to a central server. I think this is a FreeBSD problem. Here is what I have. 1. I removed my initial modification of /etc/syslog.conf, and added - user.=info /var/log/php.log According to syslog.conf man page, that should mean, any syslog events that come is as LOG_USER, and only LOG_INFO, should be appended to /var/log/php.log 2. I HUPped syslogd. 3. Im using logger to try to add a message to the log file like - gladiator# logger -s -p user.info test gsam: test But unfortunately, the message test doesn't appear in /var/log/php.log OR /var/log/messages. I currently have the file /var/log/php.log chmodded to 777. Im including my syslog.conf file. Can anyone tell me, as to why, Im unable to log these tests?

I have the same sound card as you (EMU1 Sound Blaster Live! (Also Live! 5.1) - OEM from DELL - CT4780) and very recently had the same kind of experience: the sound was working, but the mixer had no effect on the volume. In my case, the solution was woefully simple: I had my headphones (which I use for speakers) plugged into the wrong output jack. Moving them from the black 3.5 mm jack to the green one solved my problem. When I looked carefully at the jacks on the card, I discovered the black one designated 2 and the green designated as 1. Mixer lists the following devices: vol, pcm, speaker, line, mic, cd, rec, ogain, line1, phin, phout, and video. None of them has any apparent effect on the volume of the black 3.5 mm jack, which kind of begs the question as to whether it is possible to control the volume of that particular output jack from FreeBSD at all. So, if you are using the black output jack, I suggest you switch to the green one. :-) Cheers, Paul. -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid. --- Frank Vincent Zappa ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My complete build output can be viewed here: http://drew.mykitchentable.net/libiconv.log I'd guess something is wrong with your libtool installation. Try reinstalling the libtool15 port. I thought that too. Prior to posting, I had libtool13, 14, and 15 installed. I removed all of them and then installed 15 from ports. Yet the error persists. It is interesting that I could install libiconv from packages without error. But even after that, I still did not have /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la. Also after installing libiconv from a package, 'portupgrade -f libiconv' ends with the error I described above. At one time, it was -ports policy to not install .la files, although I can't see any reference to that in the current porters-handbook. If that is still true, I would have to say that libiconv is in error by installing such a file (see the patches included in converters/libiconv/files -- the file is definitely installed).

Network Printing - Please put me out of my misery
Hello everyone, I call this e-mail Network Printing because that, along with many other strings I've been googling for the past two days. This is the situation, I've got an HP PSC2510 and I've gotten everything working (copier, fax, scanner) except for the printing. I've got this printer connected to my network switch via it's NIC and it's pulling an IP address, I did a brief nmap to see where it listens and here is the output: -- Interesting ports on hpprinter (10.0.0.19): (The 1657 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 80/tcp open http 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 280/tcp open http-mgmt 443/tcp open https 9100/tcp open jetdirect MAC Address: 00:01:E6:94:5D:5D (Hewlett-Packard Company) Device type: printer Running: HP embedded OS details: HP printer w/JetDirect card Uptime 0.010 days (since Sat Jan 22 11:04:39 2005) -- I have never setup a printer in my bsd days, thus I'm inquiring here.

Who generates the daily, weekly, monthly reports on FreeBSD?
Speaking of reports, how do the daily, monthly, and weekly reports output by FreeBSD get generated? I see nothing when I do a crontab -l from root, but there's stuff under /etc/crontab. Is there a schedule of cron stuff that gets run independently of any user, or how does it work? If I wanted to change when or how these reports are generated (I don't currently, but suppose I did), where would I go to modify it, since it doesn't seem to be part of root's crontab? -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10
All, This post is not about BSD VS. Linux and should not be taken that way. I think that Flame Wars/Engineer Wars are waste of time and energy. I was surprised by my test results and didn't want to take FBSD out of the loop just yet. There may be flaws in my testing that have led me to inaccurate results. I didn't share the testing details in the original mail because of time constraints, and the notes are fairly lengthy. I will add my notes to this mail so that there is a better understanding of what tests I performed, and their results. It's important to note that I did not tweak any of the default settings of the OS or DB. The notes should be generally self explanatory, but will be more that happy to clarify any questions that you have. As a side note, I chose the email address linicks because by name is Nick, and thought it was a fun play on words. I appreciate all of your feedback, so that I can better understand the differences in these great operating systems and communities.

Re: Ftpd
sorry for the last answer, i copied the wrong one.. I dont remember fully, since i havent used the native ftpd for the past 6 years... but from what i know, the ftpd is pretty limited, so if you dont find a patch or any kind of fix to include, i dont see another way to do it than switching to a somewhat more sophisticated product. shouldnt be that hard to replace in a production environment, just have it setup on an alternate port, and as soon as it does work to your wishes, you kill the ftpd process and start the proftpd one, should cause a downtime of max 10 secs...

Re: IP Block
Lady Amalara wrote: My Question is...how can I block my IP address so others won't see it??? As the other responses suggest, your question is not really clear. I guess what you want is to make your host unreachable from the internet. You set up firewall rules that block all incoming packets, FreeBSD supports a number of different ones, ipfw, ipfilter and packetfilter - se the handbook. Note, once you have a connection - regardless of firewall - you can be discovered with arping provided that the pinging host is on the same physical network as you. Normally this is not a problem, and doesn't really matter if they can't connect anyway.

FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10 | More Info
I apologize if this has been posted twice. All, This post is not about BSD VS. Linux and should not be taken that way. I think that Flame Wars/Engineer Wars are waste of time and energy. I was surprised by my test results and didn't want to take FBSD out of the loop just yet. There may be flaws in my testing that have led me to inaccurate results. I didn't share the testing details in the original mail because of time constraints, and the notes are fairly lengthy. I will add my notes to this mail so that there is a better understanding of what tests I performed, and their results. It's important to note that I did not tweak any of the default settings of the OS or DB. The notes should be generally self explanatory, but will be more that happy to clarify any questions that you have. As a side note, I chose the email address linicks because by name is Nick, and thought it was a fun play on words. I appreciate all of your feedback, so that I can better understand the differences in these great operating systems and communities.

You might find relief in /rescue or /stand/sysinstall. You won't reinstall the whole system creating slices and labes and all that, but you will most likely need to reinstall a lot though.

Samba - microsoft-ds connection?
Hi, Sorry if the subject's a bit cryptic. It's because of my ignorance, here's what I do know. Have just installed FBSD 4.8 release from the mini-iso, my old install got messed up and got Samba 3.0.10 running. My win xp workstation is also my current gateway. Run a tcp monitor on that box called tcpview which displays active connections.

KDE issues after recent portupgrade
From the /usr/ports/UPDATING entry: 20040313: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 I did the mentioned portupgrade above and a *lot* of packages were reinstalled, among those KDE. I'm not sure in retrospect that I needed to do this as I only installed FreeBSD on this box a couple of months ago. Anyway, since the upgrade Konqueror crashes when started in a directory (core dumps) as a file browser, KDE notifications no longer work (although sound from Gnome apps *do* work - I have gnome-session-daemon start when I log into KDE) and k3b won't start any longer for starters.

Well, you could either try to debug the applications that dont work, or take a look in the UPDATING file again, maybe they have descriptions concerning your applications... you could also try to do a cvsup and then a portupgrade -af and look if it goes through and things work afterwards again... hope that helps you any further...

All the aforementioned apps were working prior to the portupgrade command mentioned in UPDATING. I would uninstall all the KDE ports and then reinstall them, starting with kdelibs3, then kdebase3, then the rest. If KDE's installed in the right order it does alright, but even installing the kde3 metaport misses some dependencies, and when doing an upgrade like this it's often not done in the right order. This could cause some breakage. After installing kdelibs3, kdebase3 and QT, you might be able to install the metaport from there to get the rest, but I personally avoid it until after installing everything, as it's always given me problems. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD 5.3 I/O Performance / Linux 2.6.10 | More Info
it was said: All, This post is not about BSD VS. Linux and should not be taken that way. I think that Flame Wars/Engineer Wars are waste of time and energy. I was surprised by my test results and didn't want to take FBSD out of the loop just yet. There may be flaws in my testing that have led me to inaccurate results. I didn't share the testing details in the original mail because of time constraints, and the notes are fairly lengthy. I will add my notes to this mail so that there is a better understanding of what tests I performed, and their results. It's important to note that I did not tweak any of the default settings of the OS or DB. The notes should be generally self explanatory, but will be more that happy to clarify any questions that you have. As a side note, I chose the email address linicks because by name is Nick, and thought it was a fun play on words. I appreciate all of your feedback, so that I can better understand the differences in these great operating systems and communities. Thanks Again! --Nick Pavlica Hello, I'm glad you weren't trolling. I, too, think the OS wars are a load of cark. Each OS has it strengths and weaknesses. Time is better spent increasing the strengths and fixing the weaknesses than arguing about whose are _better_. I can say right off that FBSD's out-of-the-box state is intended for stability rather than performance. The real question is what they do after tuning. Here I would expect FBSD to do somewhat better, especially on the uni-processor machine. Running the tests on the SC400 hardware won't be a problem for me, but I have no spare SMP or SCSI equipment to do the PE2400 tests - which I think would be the more interesting. Perhaps someone else on the list can do this? Not to provide a head-to-head showdown but to see if something is actually wrong that isn't already being looked at. (Everyone knows threading has problems that are being dealt with. That's why I'm not so sure FBSD will out-perform Fedora at this time on an SMP box.) To be on the safe side, I'll cc this to the performance list, as well. Maybe someone has already done something similar and has quick answers. Thus, I'm including unquoted the rest of your email below. Finally, the addy thing was just me getting in a shot at you if you had turned out to be trolling.
