fsck gave up on me!

2007-11-03 Thread lawrence.petrykanyn


  Hi,
  I have been using FreeBSD 6.2 for a couple of months now with no major
  snags.  Until now.  I did a portupgrade this morning and afterwards,
  when I logged in as a user into Gnome, my desktop was missing most of
  the programs (Accessories, System Tools, etc.).
  I rebooted the machine and that other terminal screen came up
  (Single User?) and I was prompted to run fsck manually so I did so.
  Well, fsck gave up on me.  I have no idea what happened or why.  Can
  anyone help me understand what is going on with my machine and any
  possible actions I can take to resolve this?

Determining the number of files in a directory

2007-11-03 Thread White Hat
This is probably a dumb question; however, I never let a little thing like that 
bother me in the past.
 
Using FreeBSD-6.2 and Bash, how do I determine the number of files in a given 
directory? I have tried all sorts of combinations using different flags with 
the 'ls' command; however, none of them displays the number of files in the 
directory.
 
Other than, by writing a script to accomplish this feat, how could I achieve my 
goal?
 
Thanks!

 $ ls | wc -l

will show you how many files and directories in the current (target)
directory. To count just files, and exclude directories, you could try
something like

 $ find /target/directory -type f -print | wc -l

 I don't know how to do that, but it is one Lunix (bash?) feature
 that I hate and would like to know how to change it to function
 the way it does under FreeBSD (tcsh).
 
 I hate it when it restores my screen and to prevent that in linux I added 
 this to my .vimrc:

 So read about whatever those options mean and set them accordingly...

There's a bit about restoring the screen and setting these variables

using healthd or lmmon or mbmon with SMBus

2007-11-03 Thread Marko Kobal

Hi,

I have an IBM xSeries 225, Type: 8647, Model: 3AX server (Dual processor Intel 
Xeon 2.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM). I would like to monitor system and CPU temperature 
using healthd or lmmon or mbmon. My OS:

# uname -srp
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 i386

I have compiled (among other - it is an SMB, PAE kernel, acpi and apic enabled) 
the following stuff info kernel:

# I2C Bus Support
device  iicbus
device  iicbb

# System Management Bus support
device  smbus
device  intpm
device  smb

# smb over ich bridge
device  ichsmb

# smb over ich bridge
device  iicsmb

If I look at dmesg.boot:

# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep smb
ichsmb0: Intel 82801DC (ICH4) SMBus controller port 0x5000-0x501f irq 17 at 
device 31.3 on pci0
ichsmb0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
smbus0: System Management Bus on ichsmb0
smb0: SMBus generic I/O on smbus0

also:

# ls -la /dev | grep smb
crw---   1 root  wheel   0,  31 Oct 30 18:33 smb0

But when I try to run healthd:

# healthd -d -S
ioctl(SMB_READB): Device not configured
InitMBInfo: Device not configured

When I try to run lmmon:

# lmmon -s
IOCTL: Device not configured

when I try to run mbmon:

# mbmon -S
InitMBInfo: Device not configured

+++

If I try to run whichever of those utils using the ISA I/O port (/dev/io), 
the utils shows output, but not the actual readings but the default values only...

+++

Has anybody successfuly set up any motherboard monitoring utility under similar system 
and OS? I have read many forum posts and grep google, but hasn't find any 
answer that would solve my problems...

Well just use the Unix tool for everything - grep:

$ ls -F | grep -Ev '/$'|wc -l

or if you also want to exclude symlinks:

wireless network using ndisgen

2007-11-03 Thread Ben Gould
Trying to set-up wireless internet access through a Belkin FSD6020 ver.2
wireless card has proved less than useful.  Seeing that this isn't on the
supported hardware list I had some fun unpacking .cab files from their
distribution cdroms to attempt to wrap this using ndisgen.

All seemed to go well as far as the utility itself is concerned, but I
didn't get any messages (success or error) after running kldload ...  I
followed the instructions from the current FreeBSD handbook.

From looking at the dmesg maybe there's a problem with cbb2 that's blocking
ndis?  Can a guru help me?  I really don't want to have to use Win98 on this
machine any longer...  what's left of my sanity is at stake.

My conclusions: FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1.5 installs from CDROM, not much else to
say.
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE didn't so that's at least something to be proud of.

Hardware: Compaq Presario 1920 Internet Zone with no built-in ethernet.


output from kldstat:

Id Refs AddressSize Name
 19 0xc040 8ca35c   kernel

 33 0xc0cda000 1aa10ndis.ko
 41 0xc0cf5000 14ac4bkpcmxp_sys.ko

(I also tried similar with the win98 ndis driver; similar results)

Nothing printed to console.


output from ifconfig:

There seems to be a fair number of 7.0 questions on freebsd-stable
so I guess that would be the place:

Either your disk is going bad or you have been extraordinarily unlucky
to lose a critical sector.  Try to run manufacturer's diagnostic tools
on it; failing that, you could try smartmontools (which, I guess, you
would need to boot and run from other media, like a CD).

 Yes there is:

 mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/dd/image/file

 That will cause the file to be treated as an md device. See also man
 mdconfig. The output of that command is the newly created /dev/md? device
 node. Depending on whether you dumped the whole disk, a slice, or a
 partition there may be additional devices. If you dd'ed the whole disk your
 former root partition might show up as /dev/md0s1a, for example.

 Once you've identified the device node(s) that contain(s) the filesystem(s)
 you're interested in, just mount it/them like you would any other device,
 e.g.
 mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt

It seems your hard disk is actually giving up on you:

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 524544,
CANNOT READ BLK: 524544

Do you have any manufacturer utilities to run on the disk? This looks
like a surface failure.
Does it make any weird noise like trying to read the same area again
and again? This is certainly a sign of disk failure

I thought I would ask the question before I do it the hard way 

1. Can FreeBSD be upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.2 ?

if so ...

2. Can it be done through an ssh connection, or MUST I make the trip to the

Re: Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM

 I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM
 solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM
 for redundancy reasons. 

The best and easiest way I know of is using /usr/ports/net/rsync for
this task. I often used it to move BSD or Linux systems to new hardware
or transfer them into a VM.

I usually make sure that the kernel supports all important hardware on
the target machine and that /etc/fstab is correct. After that I start
to transfer filesystem after filesystem with e.g.:

   # rsync -avxH --delete --exclude /etc/fstab / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/

You might want to exclude other files (e.g. /etc/rc.conf) from being
overwritten, I guess.

The nice thing with rsync is that only diffs are transferred, so it would
be easy and fast to keep your VM in sync with the source machine.

Uwe

P.S.:
Yesterday I moved a FreeBSD 4.5 system from a Proliant 3000 (~7 years old)
to a VMware Server VM using rsync. All I had to take care of was the use
of a GENERIC kernel, a new /etc/fstab and a changed ifconfig line in
/etc/rc.conf.

TSM stops working after kernel upgrade

2007-11-03 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi,

I've got a TSM-client (Tivoli Storage Manger - Backup-System) running
under FreeBSD 6.2 without any problems over the past months.

However after a recent kernel upgrade (about Mid September) the TSM
client stopped working. Whatever I try to backup I get the following
messages:

tsm inc /TSM-Backup

Incremental backup of volume '/TSM-Backup'
ANS1228E Sending of object '/TSM-Backup' failed
ANS1063E The specified path is not a valid file system or logical volume name.

tsm 

with /TSM-Backup being a snapshot-mounted (/dev/md...) partition of
my machine.

Please note that nothing else has changed on the machine - only the
kernel/system has been updated!


So here are my questions:

o) Has anybody out there got TSM running under FreeBSd 6.2 and
experienced similar problems? What did you do in order to get TSM back
running again?

o) Is there any way to step-back to an older kernel/system source? To
be specific: Is there a way to cvs the kernel/system so that sources
reflect the situatino at e.g. September 15,2007? If yes, how can that
be done? (CVS?)


Thanks much in advance for your help,
-ewald

I did a source upgrade and rebuild from 5.1 to 6.1 remotely.  Read 
upgrading carefully after you pull down the new src though for any extra 
steps you might need to make.  However, also be prepared to make the trip

compile ports and base using both cores

Hi,

Installing ports or upgrading the base system only uses around 50% cpu 
utilization (measured with the top utility) on my dual core machine. Is 
there some way I can get higher cpu usage?


/usr/src/UPDATING says don't use make -j. I tried installing 
openoffice.org-2 with make -j 2 but it failed at some stage saying it 
couldn't find a directory. It works not using -j.

Heheh! You and many more, my friend, myself absolutely included!
   
 Using FreeBSD-6.2 and Bash, how do I determine the number of
 files in a given directory? I have tried all sorts of
 combinations using different flags with the 'ls' command;
 however, none of them displays the number of files in the
 directory.
   
 $ ls | wc -l
   
will show you how many files and directories in the current
(target) directory. To count just files, and exclude directories,
you could try something like
   
 $ find /target/directory -type f -print | wc -l
  
   Except of course, that would descend into the subdirectories you're
   trying not to count... Sorry - an object lesson in not hitting send
   before you've tested what you scribbled.
  
  find /target/directory -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l
  
  should do the trick. See also man find and man wc, of course.
 
 That's better than ls(1), which is terribly slow at displaying
 (actually: at sorting) large directories. In this case, better
 turn off sorting with 'ls -f':
 
 $ time ls -f /usr/local/news/News | wc -l
 0.42 real 0.29 user 0.07 sys
35935
 
 $ time ls /usr/local/news/News | wc -l
   147.02 real33.92 user 0.07 sys
35935


And ls -lf makes working with awk faster, too. E.g:

 % ls -lf | awk '$8 == 2007 {print $9}'
 % ls -ltf | awk '$8 == 2007 {print $9}'

If you've got  a large number of files, ls -lf is roughly 
twice as fast.

 Other than, by writing a script to accomplish this feat, how could I achieve

I find that the most intuitive way is to use something like:

find . -maxdepth 1 | wc -l

Where you can specify how many levels of subdirectories to include in
the count. Please note that count also includes the current directory (.).

To exclude hidden files (.*), use

find * -maxdepth 0 | wc -l

or

expr `ls -l | wc -l` - 1

instead.

You can also tell tcpdump directly to not generate certain output.
E.g.  'tcpdump -nli rl0 not port 23' will not display any traffic to/from
port 23.  Read the tcpdump(1) manpage for the details - many more options
are available.

Old books in PDF are normally scanned bitmaps. There are no characters
or whatever therein; just pixels (EPS files). If you want to convert
that to ASCII, you'd need to extract the EPS files (use something like
pdfimages from the xpdf port), turn them into some bitmap format, and
run some kind of OCR software on that. It's a slow, unreliable,
error-prone and painful process though.

Good luck!

If you have reinstalled a userland that depends on a kernel that
doesn't boot, you are quite likely to be in trouble.

The BSD way does not necessarily involve easy recovery from making
up procedures that haven't been worked out or tested by the release
engineers.  In fact, I don't think any operating system guarantees
that you will have an easy time after making up your own upgrade
procedures.

odd entry appeared in my routing table

2007-11-03 Thread Bob Calder
I am sincerely sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Please direct  
me to the proper forum if possible.


A couple of entries for bannerconnect.com have appeared in the  
routing table of my laptop. In one case the entry is in both  
destination and gateway columns and in the other, my IP is in the  
destination and bannerconnect.com is the gateway entry. It shows as  
being up and as host. The normal entries are in the table as well  
and these have not replaced the normal routing entries. I am in a home  
network using DSL on OSX. Looking back through the daily cron, it  
appeared on October 30th and that's all I have been able to figure out.


I know Apple changed things and that you folks may not be able to help  
me but what I'm asking about is a probable method of attack. I flushed  
the table and the entry came back. I believe my hosts file has  
prevented it from being used by directing it to the loopback but that  
may be superstition on my part.


Thanks,
Bob

need Linux help (watch and LVS)

2007-11-03 Thread C Thala
Can someone tell me the FreeBSD equivalent of the Linux command watch.

In Linux, watch is like top, but you can run it against any command
and have it refresh every N seconds. There is a watch command in
FreeBSD but it does something else entirely.

Also, does FreeBSD have an equivalent for Linux LVS? Is it HAProxy?

 Try gv and xpdf.  You might get lucky.

The guy who scanned the book did actually invest a considerable amount

The text itself may be in the public domain but the pdf file is subject to
copyright.

  Old books in PDF are normally scanned bitmaps. There are no
  characters or whatever therein; just pixels (EPS files). If you
  want to convert that to ASCII, you'd need to extract the EPS files
  (use something like pdfimages from the xpdf port), turn them into
  some bitmap format, and run some kind of OCR software on that. It's
  a slow, unreliable, error-prone and painful process though.
  
  Good luck!
 
 
   Arrrgh (Charlie Brown).  If it's that tortured, I'll forget
   it; thanks for the clue.  Pretty sure this *was* just phot'd
 and scanned in.
 
   (Much be how amazon.com has thir zillions of boooks online.
   OCR'ing is serious work; I know that first hand.)

If you need help on imperfectly OCR'ed texts, esp. on texts that
are no longer copyrighted, there's always Distributed Proofreaders
from the venerable Project Gutenberg: http://www.pgdp.net/

Good luck!

cannot get screen out of black/black mode...

2007-11-03 Thread Gary Kline

Where do I set up the screen to never go blan? both in console
(white on black) mode and in X?  Every so often my video card
driver (mga) remains blank after 10 to 15 minutes.  And gets
stuck in this mode.  --FWIW, this did not happen in xorg-6.9--
only in  the 7.x versions.  My hunch is to never let the screen
blank.  The screensaver does seem to work, tho.

Anybody help me here?

thanks much,

gary

The use of grep -v will work as long as the tcpdump output is limited  
to one line per packet. However, some of the tcpdump options produce  
multiple lines per packet.  Those will appear to be jumbled as the  
initial line for the packet will not be included but the following  
lines will.  The best approach to using tcpdump in these situations  
is to use the -w option to write the raw data to a file.  Then use  
the -r to read it back in and filter using the tcpdump filters which  
do include the not function.  That way if you don't get what you  
need, you can try again on the same data.

So then I could consier my HTML version of the philosophy books
that friends and I OCR'd in.  --Yes, it is a Lot of work...
but as least for myself, i wouldn't be that crass.
