Re: swiN: clock sio process taking 75% CPU
I wrote, inter alia, About 6 minutes after booting (on two occasions; I don't guarantee that this doesn't vary), a process that appears in the output of ps as [swi4: clock sio] begins to use about 3/4 of the machine's CPU. I think it does so more or less instantaneously. It continues to do so indefinitely, so far as I can tell. David Wolfskill e-mailed me off-list to suggest looking at the output of vmstat -i. Answer: the interrupt rates all appear to be normal, or at least similar to those he observes on his machines which don't exhibit my problem.

Thanks in advance, Alain as long as you have adequate capacity to install whatever amount of FreeBSD on your USB device, and the computer supports booting it it shouldn't be a problem. Worst case a simple grub boot disk to load the USB device might be in order. I say this only because my laptop doesn't always detect bootable USB devices. just try running the installation cd with the USB device and see what happens. Make sure your setting it up on the right drive (da0 assuming you have IDE hardrives) 5 gigs or so should be enough to install a system with some packages for the ports your installing. Building your own generally requires more space, at least this is what I seem to get away with for a minumum install. you can go less if all your want is console use. good luck -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make a gmirror volume using two or three of them and install the OS to that volume. Use the remaining one or two small partitions for swap or utility partitions.

Nothing is written to /home until after users are added which have their home directories under /home (root uses /root), so you can simply avoid creating users during install. The encrypted partition needs to be mounted before the first user logs in.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.

You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

That would give me 1.5TB for my 2TB of physical disk. Roughly speaking. Got a pointer to docs on how to install the base OS on a RAID5 config? I'm not sure you can boot from a RAID5 volume, and it's tricky to boot from a gvinum volume at all. I would still recommend partitioning and installing the OS to a gmirror volume, and then set up your gvinum RAID5 after the fact. Unfortunately, sysinstall doesn't grok advanced disk setups very well, so you'll have to get started manually. I would do this: Download and burn a FreeBSD 6.1 Install CD (disc 1) and boot from it. Go into Fixit mode. Set up the basic partitions and a degraded gmirror volume (with only one member) rom the Fixit console. Repeat all of the fdisk and bsdlabel steps for each disk, substituting your real disk names for ad0 below: fdisk -BI ad0 [repeat for all disks] bsdlabel -wB ad0s1 [repeat for all disks] bsdlabel -e ad0s1 [manually shrink the 'a' partition (which you'll use as the 'small' one) and create a 'd' partition (which you'll use as the 'large' one). Calculator, pencil and paper (or their equivalents on another computer) are useful here.] [repeat for all disks] kldload geom_mirror gmirror label -b load myrootfs /dev/ad0s1a [You can replace 'myrootfs' with a volume name of your choosing. Perform this step only for the disk the computer BIOS is set to boot from. Do not repeat for the other disks.] newfs -U /dev/mirror/myrootfs exit Exit sysinstall and reboot; boot from the CD again. Perform a Standard install. Mount '/' on the existing ad0s1a (or the device name used in the gmirror label step). Do not mount or create any other partitions (or swap, yet). Perform the remainder of the install as normal. Reboot after the installation, and remove the CD. Allow the system to come all the way up to multi-user to be sure there aren't any problems. Log in as root. Drop back down to single-user: shutdown now Edit /boot/loader.conf and add the line geom_mirror_load=YES Edit /etc/fstab. Change the line for / to use /dev/mirror/myrootfs instead of /dev/ad0s1a. Add a line like /dev/ad3s1a none swap sw 0 0 to use the small partition on a drive not to be included in the mirror as swap space. Reboot: fastboot Bring the system up in single-user mode from the boot menu. Add the additional partition(s) to the mirror set: gmirror insert myrootfs /dev/ad1s1a [/dev/ad2s1a] Wait for the rebuild to complete. You can check the status by typing: gmirror status Reboot: fastboot Allow the system to come all the way up to multi-user. Verify that the mirror is being used as the root device and is healthy, and that swap has been enabled. At this point you will now have a fully functional, mirrored FreeBSD installation. Refer to existing [g]vinum documentation for details on setting up RAID5. You will use the ad[0-3]s1d devices as members of the array. JN

I will of course sit corrected. My concern is now that ntpd doesn't seem to report that it has checked the time with any timesource. Any ideas how to confirm (apart from changing the time to something wrong but only wrong by less than 1000 seconds?) ntpd will log time changes to syslog. On every system I've seen, they end up in /var/log/messages. Note that ntpd is rather conservative. It might spend 30 minutes checking and rechecking the time before it decides to make an adjustment.

Updating system's natd config from natd.conf
Hi there, What is the procedure to make active changes made to /etc/natd.conf? Sometimes, restarting the natd process with an HUP drops my connection. Other times the restart didn't seem to make any difference. The only way I've ever updated natd rules was to restart the server and never was able to find anything relating to this topic online.

I plan on using this machine primarily for a large data storage requirement. What I want is one large /data partition. Given all the choices for doing this in FreeBSD (software) what's the best choice here? The partio will be shared via SAMBA if that affects the thhinking here. Best really depends on what your needs and goals are. Here's a quick overview of what the choices ARE, based mostly on memory. Corrections and additions welcome. I'll try to make some notes about pros and cons as well. Thanks for the nice summary. The data will be backed up nightly, so I'll probably use gstirpe to get the maximum capicty. RAID5 would not work very well with 3 x 500G (asuuming that I can't use the 500G that I put the system on). If that's really what you want to do then here are a couple more tips. You can't boot from a gstripe volume, and when (not if) one of your drives goes bad you'll be happier if you only lose your data and not your entire OS. So plan to partition the drives and use gmirror for the base OS (since you can boot from a gmirror volume). Make a relatively small partition (10GB?) at the beginning of each drive. Make a gmirror volume using two or three of them and install the OS to that volume. Use the remaining one or two small partitions for swap or utility partitions. Then make your giant gstripe volume out of the large partitions on all four drives. Or better yet, make a gvinum RAID5 volume with the four large partitions. K, I think I'm convinced. That would give me 1.5TB for my 2TB of physical disk. Roughly speaking. Got a pointer to docs on how to install the base OS on a RAID5 config? I'm not sure you can boot from a RAID5 volume, and it's tricky to boot from a gvinum volume at all. I would still recommend partitioning and installing the OS to a gmirror volume, and then set up your gvinum RAID5 after the fact. Unfortunately, sysinstall doesn't grok advanced disk setups very well, so you'll have to get started manually. I would do this: Thanks for all the sugestions, and the detailed guide on getting what we setled on set up!! -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Basicly, you need to kill and restart natd right now, and doing so will lose track of any active state for currently-open connections. Natd dies when it gets a SIGHUP, but I've always wanted to extend its signal handler to trap SIGHUP and re-read the config file. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
