weird restarts when compiling

2008-07-13 Thread Aggelidis Nikos
Hi to all the list, i 've been using FreeBSD for almost a month ,and i
have this weird problem. Sometimes when i try to compile a program the
computer will hard-reset itself, like someone pulled of the plug...
For example yesterday i was trying to install jdk1.6 + eclipse, and
while i was compiling eclipse {more precisely -if i remember
correctly-  the diablo-jdk needed for eclipse} the computer rebooted
itself.

The load of the computer was: 2-3xterms, 1 Konversation irc client
,several opera9.51 windows, 1-2 konqueror windows, and 1-2 Firefox
widows. I have a dual core box with 2GB of memory and i use freebsd7
32bit. The computer was online for 8hours with almost the same load
{minus the compilation-procedure}.

* Has anyone had problems like this?
* What can i do to investigate a bit more what was the situation
before the restart?
* Is there anyway to solve this problem.


thanks for your help,
nikos

PS: i could blame the power company but the above problem has happened
before{several times} when i tried to compile big programs like
firefox or do a pkgdb -Fu, so i don't think it is this.

Hi Nikos,

This sounds like a hardware problem to me. It is not easy to find out 
the exact cause, except perhaps by swapping components:


- Could be bad RAM, but  I doubt it is you would probably get at least a 
kernel panic and not a hard reboot
- Could be that your power supply can not handle the increased current 
required by the CPU / disk when compiling, voltages fall out of spec, 
and the motherboard resets itself. I've seen this happening quite a few 
times - systems exhibit a variety of weird symptoms like this, commonly 
failing when running CPU intensive apps.

- Your CPU / system may get overheated and hits a thermal cutoff.
- You could have some other faulty component, or some of your BIOS 
settings are too 'high'


Things to try:
- Take the cover off and see whether there is heat build up when 
compiling and also whether the fans work adequately.

- Swap out the power supply
- Change some BIOS settings, or maybe underclock the CPU a bit so it 
requires less power and see if it works then.


Most of the people here are used to run long compilation / portupgrade 
cycles (sometimes in excess of 24 hours) and when a system fails 
unexpectedly like this it is normal to suspect hardware problems.

P.S. I removed the -hackers list from the reply - this question is 
better suited for -questions only.

Did you specify the -r flag?  Without that, the PACKAGESITE environment

 The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location for
 pkg_add to fetch from.  This variable subverts the automatic directory
 logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked.  Thus it should 
 be a complete URL to the remote package file(s).

Well, you really can't solve it, so much as troubleshoot it. Make up
a list of possible causes, and then start checking each possible
cause. You haven't given any real information about the system or the
problem, so we can't eliminate anything. My top suspects would be the
PSU (old or inadequate) and CPU (overheating or overclocked). Memory
and the I/O subsystem would be next, but they tend to cause
random process failure rather than system shutdowns when they go
flaky, so I'd try them last.

Re: weird restarts when compiling

2008-07-13 Thread Aggelidis Nikos
Thanks for your answers Manolis and Mike. In the beginning i didn't
suspect hardware because it happened only at compilation procedures.
Now i realize that every other task i do isn't really demanding.

 Look through /var/log/messages.
i get this: Jul 13 09:00:00 apollo newsyslog[1018]: logfile turned
over due to size100K

* CPU overheating
- Is there anyway to check for cpu temperatures within freebsd?
- I 've used the pc for like 8 hours in a really hot day but it
didn't restart...if this can be considered as an indication.

*Memory
- i used memtest ,from an ubuntu live cd, to check the memory and
everything works fine according to it.

*PSU
I have a 400Watt PSU... maybe this is inadequate. I will try to swap
it for something stronger to see how it goes.

In general where are there any stress tests i can do, to test the PSU
and some major subsystems of the computer?

thanks in advance,
nikos

PS: this was a ready-made pc that had it's p4 processor upgraded to a
dual core. It also got a new motherboard and 2G of ddr2. It has an old
nvidia GeForce fx 5200, and a 400watt nameless PSU. I only have
freebsd,which i installed a month ago, on it.

IPv6 Host Names

2008-07-13 Thread Doug Hardie
I am using the getnameinfo function to convert an IPv6 IP address to  
its name.  This works properly if the host info is in DNS.  However,  
if its in the /etc/hosts file and not DNS then all getnameinfo returns  
is the IP address.  If i call it with an IPv4 IP address then it looks  
up the host name in /etc/hosts.  I have tried various host entries:


fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5mbook6
fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0mbook6
fe80::216:cbff:febd:a4e5%rl0mbook6.local

Is there a way to get getname info to obtain host names from the /etc/ 
hosts file.  The nsswitch.conf file has

The nameless PSU is probably the cause then. It would work ok with the 
older CPU but can not keep up with 2cores...
I would focus on that, since you already tested memory and the rest of 
the components seem standard.


In ports you will find a few programs for stress testing, e.g.:

math/mprime (in torture mode)
sysutils/cpuburn (specifically for CPU stress testing)

No, I didn't, because -- unless I am misunderstanding the description
of the -r flag -- that will cause pkg_add to look *only* on the FTP
site.  I want it to use packages that have already been downloaded,
and use the FTP site only when a needed package is not available
locally.  I'm trying to install an already-downloaded 10MB package
which has quite a few dependencies, several of which were already
fetched during a previous attempt.

IOW I want the equivalent of specifying the current directory,

messes that up by looking like a pathname separator. If I tried
something like

setenv PKG_PATH

it would look first in the current directory, then in a subdirectory

PKG_PATH is for directories only, it will not do FTP.

from man pkg_add:
 The value of the PKG_PATH is used if a given package cannot be found.
The environment variable should be a series of entries separated by
colons.  Each entry consists of a directory name.

If I understand well, what you are asking is for pkg_add to:

- Search all local paths (in PKG_PATH) for a dependency
- If not found, use PACKAGESITE to download from a site.

As far as I know, pkg_add will only fetch dependencies recursively from 
the Internet when used with -r but it will then ignore PKG_PATH. Seems 
what you are asking cannot be done this way, but I might be wrong.

environment, CPU load increaeses and packet drops are the result (on an 
IBM Server with Intel em0/1 NICs).
Well, I'm pleased that FreeBSD comes with at least three packet filters 
(ipfw, ipf, pf), but at the end, the choice is up to me and in question 
of the better support and performance this leaves me alone in the dark. 
So, does any of the network experts do have benchmarked any of the 
packet  filters? what is the preferred selection if someone would like 
to have a 'simple' packetfilter (no usage of special features of one of 
the mentioned packetfilters except of bridging and LAGG)? Talking about 
FreeBSD 8's virtualiziation capabilities on network stack: will this 
have implications on what filter will work or not (if ever, I do not 
know how abstract this virtualization is indeed from the packet 
filtering layer).


So, sorry for the little confuses,

Oliver

Not easily.  If coretemp(4) is loaded, you should have some sysctls
named dev.cpu.X.temperature which contain the temperature of the core in
Celcius.  Otherwise, you can try utilities like mbmon and healthd, but
those were written for old (circa 90s) hardware.

Also, are you running powerd(8) on this machine?

 *Memory
 - i used memtest ,from an ubuntu live cd, to check the memory and
 everything works fine according to it.

That's a good start; your memory is probably not the issue then.

 *PSU
 I have a 400Watt PSU... maybe this is inadequate. I will try to swap
 it for something stronger to see how it goes.

Wattage is not the only thing that matters with a PSU.  Voltages are
significantly more important, if you ask me.  I'd make a list of what
your voltages are (go into the BIOS and see) and provide them here.
There may be one which is significantly off, indicating a bad PSU.

 In general where are there any stress tests i can do, to test the PSU
 and some major subsystems of the computer?

Windows offers many free utilities that do this; I'm not sure about
FreeBSD.

You could try sysutils/mbmon or sysutils/xmbmon - shows cpu temperature, 
inside case temperature and vcore voltage. Supported chipsets are listed 
in mbmon/pkg-descr.

Not really. All modern CPUs have  BIST (built-in self tests) that run 
even before the BIOS starts, and it would be really rare to actually 
have a working system with a faulty CPU. Errors in mprime usually 
indicate some other problem, such as bad memory, bad BIOS settings, 
overheating or an incompatibility of CPU/motherboard etc.
Going back to what you said previously, you got an Nvidia 5200 graphics 
card? Were these ever produced for PCI express or are you using a) a 
normal PCI one or b)You got one of these weird mobos that have both AGP 
and PCI express? As I understand there are no AGP-only motherboards for 
core2duo.
Another thought: Sometimes  the CPU cooler is not entirely seated, 
resulting in bad thermal contact of the heatsink/CPU assembly. This is 
not unusual in the 775 socket since the mechanism requires quite some 
pressure to lock and some people are afraid to apply it ;)

Yes i have a weird mobo that has both AGP and PCI. The nvidia is an AGP one.
The mobo wasn't my choise :( but when the changed the false cpu with a
dual core they didn't want to
change the graphics card as well.

Can this mobo create problems?

The x11/webfonts package will only help if you are running the native

You have two options to resolve this issue:
   Copy the fonts folder over from a WinXP/Vista install to the relevant

   Install the winetricks tool and let it install all the Windows fonts for

It is possible, having both an AGP and PCI express on the same board is 
a hack, and not even all AGP cards are compatible with these mobos.  It 
would be better to test it with a PCI express graphics card, if you can 
grab one. I'd be happy to lend you one for testing, but I guess we are 
not in the same town ;)  (Chania here...)

If it was strictly a problem with the CPU, you'd likely not be able to  
boot, or this test would fail within a few seconds.


9 minutes is possible but a bit on the early side to be a thermal  
issue; more likely would be the memory config and BIOS setup is  
marginal and that relaxing the timings would help.  If you shut down  
for a while, and then do a cold restart with the case open, does that  
result in the stress test taking longer to fail?


If so, check your cooling.

On the other hand, if the length of time before failure doesn't  
change, or more precisely seems random-- 5-10 minutes one try, an hour  
the next, that generally indicates memory and motherboard BIOS setup.


PSU problems tend to not show up with prime95, but when you have the  
disks busy and maybe graphics, also.

I have several issues (linux-firefox with linux-flash plugin crashes on

When I run aterm I get:

$ aterm

 etc.

Transparency doesn't work right either - which I see is the greatest 
attraction to aterm.


Any ideas?


I had this problem with an old Sony Vaio about a year ago.
Xorg detected that the correct video driver to use was neomagic.
Whatever automatic configuration method I was using at the time decided 
that I should be running with 32-bit color depth in xorg.conf.
It turns out that the neomagic driver doesn't support color depth greater 
than 24-bits...


This misconfiguration worked well enough until something like aterm tried 
to use transparency, then it would complain about the BadMatch, 
referring to the color depth that the driver supported versus the color 
depth that X was configured for, presumably.


I found two solutions.  One was to edit the Screen section of xorg.conf 
to remove the entry with DefaultDepth 32.  The other was to edit xorg.conf 
to use the vesa driver instead of the neomagic driver.

Re: weird restarts when compiling

It doesn't look like overheating, unless the thermal compound, heatsink
and temperature monitor are not properly set.  The only times I had
reboots like that was due to a driver with an irq conflict, a driver
accessing incorrect memory, or running out of space on a device (trying

Would ZFS and gmirror work well together in a two-node failover cluster?

2008-07-13 Thread Maurice Volaski
I am looking to put together a two-node high-availability cluster 
where each node has identical data storage consisting of a set of 
internal data drives (separate from the boot drive). I want ZFS to 
manage the drives as a JDBOD in a RAIDZ2 configuration. Thus, if an 
individual drive misbehaves or fails, ZFS detects and handles the 
fault.


But I'm also looking to mirror this entire setup in real time to a 
second identical server.


Basically, my question is can this work well on FreeBSD while taking 
full advantage of ZFS?


Specifically, my understanding is that the only way to handle the 
real time mirror is with gmirror and ggated, but it's not clear how 
gmirror would interact with ZFS.


I am assuming that gmirror operates only on individual drives, so if 
I had a set of 24 drives on each server, there would be 24 mirrored 
drive pairs.


One concern I have is that this setup could run into trouble with 
gmirror's potentially sabotaging ZFS's RAIDZ2. For example, when a 
drive starts failing, won't gmirror see it before ZFS does and take 
the unfavorable action of substituting the corresponding drive in the 
failover server in subsequent I/O, leaving ZFS's RAIDZ2 out of the 
loop?


This is just one particular scenario, but in general, it's not 
entirely clear that it's possible to have fine-grained control of 
when, how much and in what direction gmirror manages synchronization 
among drive pairs.

Firefox 3 problems - SLOW...

2008-07-13 Thread Keith Seyffarth

Has anyone else had problems with Firefox 3 installed from the ports
being massively slow?

Unlike on Windows, where the load time for the application is much
slower (takes roughly twice as long as FF2 did), but once the
application is loaded, it seems to be about the same, on my BSD box,
the application loads in a little under half the time, but each page
load takes much, much longer (8 minutes for the google firefox start
page, 16 minutes for the welcome to Firefox 3 page, 10 minutes for the
mozillazine home page, 6 minutes for each mozallazine forum page). On
top of this, once the page is loaded, it take 90-120 seconds before
you can interact with a page, and even then, interaction is slow - 5
seconds between clicking in the scroll bar and the window moving, 15
seconds between clicking a link and the browser acknowledging the
click...

Is there maybe an issue with the port, or does the application just
not work well on FreeBSD?

No.  I installed it from Ports on a FreeBSD 7.0 and it seemed to run
with no major dramas.  Certainly no long delays between page views
like you're experiencing.

It sounds like you might be having some sort of networking (DNS?)
issue.  To rule that out, one experiment you can try is to browse some

I know it's not pleasant, but make sure all of your ports are updated
(if they aren't already). There were some significant changes that had
to happen to get FF3 running; namely, poppler and everything that
depends on it.

 I did experience this, and I had to tweak the following settings in

 network.http.pipelining: true

 network.http.pipelining.ssl: true

 and some unintended behaviour seems to have been introduced. (I also

I also get the annoying black boxes. I haven't tested it thoroughly
yet, but it seems to happen most often with resized png images. That
could just be a result of the pages I visit though; they seem to use
pngs quite extensively.

As for performance problems, I have noticed that FF3 is slower than
FF2 at loading pages with many images, and I've had a lot of trouble
with Flash (as usual). But the problems are not so significant that
I've been forced to uninstall it.

I wonder if your settings will help ...

FF3 seems to be faster than 2.0.0.14 for me (on 7.0-STABLE).  Flash 7 
seems to be no worse than 2.0.0.14, which is to say that it works maybe 
half the places it's used, and does nothing on the others.  Come to 
think of it, 2.0.0.14 would lock up on many of those, and FF3 does not.


Adblock Plus and FlashBlock help, too.

One other note: FF3 wanted to check my extensions for compatibility 
almost every time it started.  A process for disabling that check is 
described here:


http://kb.mozillazine.org/Updating_extensions

It's just adding these two settings to about:config:

extensions.checkCompatibility  false
extensions.checkUpdateSecurity false

That didn't stop every check, though.  Adding those two settings to the 
default profile (/usr/local/lib/firefox3/defaults/profile/prefs.js) in 
addition to the user settings seemed to stop all the checks.

man mail

  Disposing of Mail
 After examining a message you can delete (d) the message or reply (r) to
 it.  Deletion causes the mail program to forget about the message.  This
 is not irreversible; the message can be undeleted (u) by giving its num-
 ber, or the mail session can be aborted by giving the exit (x) command.
 Deleted messages will, however, usually disappear never to be seen again.

Re: Firefox 3 problems - SLOW...

2008-07-13 Thread Keith Seyffarth
 I did experience this, and I had to tweak the following settings in
 about:config before the experience became usable:
 
 network.http.pipelining: true
 network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 10
 network.http.pipelining.ssl: true
 
 The image loading and display code seems to have changed significantly,
 and some unintended behaviour seems to have been introduced. (I also
 get ugly black boxes images if there is an resized image in the loaded
 page.)

Johnathan,
thanks a ton, that seems to have corrected it. We're now back to
nearly the performance of FF2. Though I haven't seen the black images
issue yet.

Thanks,
Keith S

To run the mail program when no new mail is available:

% mail -f

Existing mails in your ~/mbox will be listed with numbers;
to delete, use d 1 2 5 or d 1-10, just as you like.

Further instructions can be seen in man mail. :-)

Re: Apache 2 in 6.0 jails: Connection refused: connect to listener on0.0.0.0:80

2008-07-13 Thread Rudy


Philippe,

Ha, I had the same problem in 7.0 jails.  :)
So, here is a response to your email from 2 years ago:

I made this change in httpd.conf and the problem seems gone:
 -Listen 80
 +Listen 208.69.40.119:80

Your message from 2 years ago:
 Hi,

 Every now and then, Apache 2.2.2 starts filling my
 httpd-error.log with thousands of lines like:
