panics and crash dumps
I'm having problems getting a crash dump on my panics. A bog standard crash dump on panic to swap hangs during the dump. Kris recommended trying minidump or DDB. With minidump enabled, it hangs, doesn't even try to dump on panic. So on to try DDB, have these lines in my kernel: makeoptions DEBUG=-g options KDB options DDB and now this kernel, when it boots, it doesn't see all of the sata drives. I have 2 sata controllers, one on the motherboard, the other a pci card (a supermicro controller). The only difference in the kernel conf files are the latter 2 options lines above being added. I did not see any errors while compiling this kernel. The same kernel modules are in kernel.old as in kernel, however, these are the ones that differ: [#1022] diff -r kernel kernel.ddb.broken Files kernel/bktr.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/bktr.ko differ Files kernel/geom_eli.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/geom_eli.ko differ Files kernel/hptrr.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/hptrr.ko differ Files kernel/ibcs2.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/ibcs2.ko differ Files kernel/if_ed.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/if_ed.ko differ Files kernel/if_oltr.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/if_oltr.ko differ Files kernel/kernel and kernel.ddb.broken/kernel differ Files kernel/linker.hints and kernel.ddb.broken/linker.hints differ Files kernel/logo_saver.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/logo_saver.ko differ Files kernel/mem.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/mem.ko differ Files kernel/rr232x.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/rr232x.ko differ Files kernel/udf.ko and kernel.ddb.broken/udf.ko differ When my DDB kernel boots, not only does it not see the sata drives, upon a quick reboot, it panics and does not throw me into the debugger. And then, to my surprise, it does a crash dump into swap. But when the machine reboots, it can't read it! I get: Checking for core dump on /dev/ad1s1b... savecore: error reading last dump header at offset 10005032448 in /dev/ad1s1b: Input/output error savecore: no dumps found Jul 21 04:45:17 charm savecore: error reading last dump header at offset 10005032448 in /dev/ad1s1b: Input/output error Here is the screen output of the crash of the kernel with DDB which did not recognize the second sata controller: charm# reboot Jul 21 04:32:16 charm reboot: rebooted by root Jul 21 04:32:16 charm syslogd: exiting on signal 15 Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...done Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...done Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...

Recover Lost Superblocks?
Hi there, bit of a tricky question: I have an Adaptec RAID-5 array which decided to puke recently -- the controller seems OK, as do the drives, but something appears to have gone wrong and I had to rebuild the array. Long story short, my array went astray and I lost partition and filesystem info for 1.6TB of data. Before you ask, this was the backup server. My primary box had decided to die shortly before. I had no backup backup server. Murphy strikes. The array was formerly my boot device. Layout before the crash was: /dev/aac0s1a / /dev/aac0s1b swap /dev/aac0s1d /usr /dev/aac0s1e /data Using a combination of sleuthkit, autopsy, a bootable IDE drive that I installed, gpart and a bunch of other tools, I was able to recover the partition. I am also able to mount / from the bootable drive (as /dev/aac0s1c) and access everything on it. I do not remember the filesystem layout (sizes, start/end sectors, etc.) Can someone recommend a way to manually scan the entire partition (either aacd0, aacd0s1 or aacd0s1c) for formerly present filesystems? I am 99% sure that all the data is still present, and if I reinstall the superblocks I'll be able to boot the array, mount the filesystems and get the data off before I continue. I don't know whether I've missed any gpart options (I have the impression it only scans for lost partitions, not ufs filesystem signatures.) Any help, tips or pointers would be tremendously appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have installed FreeBSD 7.0 on both hostA and hostB. Then, I want to config IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel from hostB to hostA. Is it possible? Yes, absolutely. I have a similar configuration for my IPv6 connectivity. There are some alternatives (stf(4), faith(4)), but this is based I what I have. This is mostly in terms of what you'ld add to /etc/rc.conf on HostB -- HostA will be similar, but addresses will be reversed in the obvious places. i) Create a gif(4) interface and configure the endpoints: gif_interfaces=gif0 gifconfig_gif0=hostB-ipv4-number hostA-ipv4-number ii) Enable IPv6 on HostB -- I'm assuming you've assigned a /64 net block to HostB (perhaps a tad excessive, but pretty much the default for an allocation of a chunk of IPv6 address space.) Adjust the prefixlen to suit. ipv6_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=-interface gif0 ipv6_default_interface=gif0 ipv6_ifconfig_gif0=1234:5678:9abc:def0::1 prefixlen 64 iii) Settings on HostA are slightly different -- HostA has to be a router, and it only wants to route the HostB block via the gif(4) tunnel: ipv6_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=hostA-ipv6-gateway-address ipv6_gateway_enable=YES ipv6_static_routes=hostB ipv6_route_hostB=1234:5678:9abc:def0:: -prefixlen 64 -interface gif0 iv) That should be everything you need to get point to point connectivity working. Note: it's pretty easy now to make HostB an IPv6 router and assign IPv6 addresses to anything on the same local subnet as HostB. In fact, you can use rtadvd(8) on HostB to make that automatic: ipv6_network_interfaces=auto ipv6_prefix_em0=1234:5678:9acb:def0 rtadvd_enable=YES rtadvd_interfaces=em0 Then just run rtsol(8) on all the other machines that will use HostB as their IPv6 gateway.

Re: Recover Lost Superblocks?
Wow, a sympathetic ear, was expecting far more scorn than that :-) I am currently running TestDisk, which at least _appears_ to be finding something filesystem-like (at least it's listed a few empty somethings that look somehow reasonable, size-wise.) Cross your fingers. Gpart and TestDisk are entirely passive, i.e. don't touch data on the disks. My plan, if this works out, is to buy a secondary backup consisting of a RAID 1+0 NAS. I don't have anything big enough to back up everything to. I tried pretty much everything with fsck_ufs. Like I said, though, I am able to mount the entire partition from the bootable IDE drive. I see /, /etc/, /dev/ and all that, but since the rescue OS can't see any additional superblocks, it has no devices for the other filesystems. I am not sufficiently well versed in UFS to understand how an entire partition can be mounted as a filesystem if that partition originally had multiple filesystems on it. I'm a bit wary of playing more with fsck until all else has failed. :-) What also weirds me out is that FreeBSD constantly bitches about the partition being larger than the physical disk (which it decidedly isn't.) I've tried setting geometry in fdisk any which way (including using the RAID controller's provided values), and as I said, the thing mounts the root partition of the array just fine. I'm considering an exorcist. Best, -John On Jul 21, 2008, at 12:52 PM, Polytropon wrote: Hi!

Have I poisoned something in USB filesystems?
I have 2 mem sticks and several CF cards from a Nikon Coolpix camera. In the past I've freely used these both ways, through USB. My OS is, via uname -a: FreeBSD daisy.local 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 10:35:36 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 I had a problem with a new 4GB CF card which wouldn't mount in an audio recorder (M-Audio Microtrack), and tried formatting it using the recorder's own formatter. OK so far. But it wouldn't mount on my FreeBSD. So I perhaps unwisely tried working from scratch, rebuilding the MBR (copied from /boot/mbr) and using fdisk from there. Now I can mount it and all the other (photo) CF cards, but xv(1) for the first time complains of *.jpg saying: filename: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment and quits. At one time I guessed perhaps badly that I should use fdisk with powers of two and rebuild a CF card with 64 heads and 32 sectors; let the #cyls fall out. Looks good, but now fdisk on all my USB CF cards says those are the numbers unless I use fdisk -i -t. Yet I can reboot. When I do, CF cards still mount and are still not viewable with xv. something strange has happened and I wonder if some persistent data regarding msdosfs structures has been written. I had hoped that #cyl, #head, #sec values would be ignored in favor of LBA, but I guess I'm wrong. Any ideas?

Re: mounting ext2fs partitions on FBSD7 ( third time a charm?)
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad0s8 /mnt/ # ls /mnt ls: /mnt: Bad file descriptor Weird. I can mount ext2fs on 7.0 (and previously on 6.0 and 6.2) and things mostly work. In the past I had ext2fs on both primary and extended slices (or whatever the preferred terminology is). This is on AMD64 with SATA drives. My ext2fs filesystems were created by Linux (32 bit Linux, since penguins can't count to 64). Are you sure that ad0s8 contains a valid ext2fs filesystem? Can Linux mount it and access it? Maybe try running fsck? What OS created (newfs/mkfs) the filesystem? Problems I have seen with ext2fs: There was some case where accessing a large ( 1 GB) file (rm-ing it I think?) hung or paniced FreeBSD. Small files are fine. Sometimes on boot FreeBSD would get confused and think the fext2fs needed to be fscked dispite a clean shutdown, but wasn't able to do so automagically, so it dropped into single user mode and sat there waiting for manual intervention. I no longer have ext2fs automatically mounted. There is probably some configuration fix for this. ext2fs is unreliable and LOSES DATA under it's native Linux. --- Linus Is Not a Unix eXpert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(2) configured a spare network card as a dhcp server - Isn't FBSD great! (2) Installed cups-magicolor from ports (3) turned on printer, and visited it's internal webpage with firefox (4) configured cups via localhost:631 (5) added new printer with the MAGICOLOR2430DL port, and a driver of approximately the same name. (6) printed test page - no apparent response from printer, and job changed to stopped after about 30 seconds. (7) tried various permutations of starting stopping printer, rebooting, etc. (8) downloaded .ppd from minolta (called linux_sc_blahblah.gz), used it with the MAGICOLOR port, same response. (9) installed foo2zjs port, noted only 2530 printer was listed under Konica Minolta, which prints out nice garbage (but at least it's printing now!) (10) noticed there's also plain Minolta under drivers, which actually has a 2430 and now it works! Hope this helps someone down the road...

Re: Recover Lost Superblocks?
OK, I have a followup question to this. After some mucking around, I've managed to lose my partition again (although the data is still there, I installed testdisk and let photorec run; it looks like it's finding pretty much everything.) Running newfs -N on /dev/aacd0 finds a ton of backup superblocks. My filesystems were originally /dev/aacd0s1a, aacd0s1b and aacd0s1e. When I originally recreated the FreeBSD partition with the same geometry under my new rescue HDD, it added a device entry aacd0s1c but not any of the others. Running fsck_ufs -b any of the listed backup superblocks doesn't seem to do much of anything. I'd be grateful if someone could help me with the following questions: 1) when I run the above command, is it supposed to replace a filesystem's superblock with the backup superblock? 2) is there a way to look at the contents of the backup superblocks that newfs -N found? 3) is there a way to re-create aacd0s1a, aacd0s1b and aacd0s1e? The rescue OS seems to only want to bother with aacd0s1c, which was not used by any of the partitions previously.

I don't have anything big enough to back up everything to. I tried pretty much everything with fsck_ufs. Like I said, though, I am able to mount the entire partition from the bootable IDE drive. I see /, /etc/, /dev/ and all that, but since the rescue OS can't see any additional superblocks, it has no devices for the other filesystems. I am not sufficiently well versed in UFS to understand how an entire partition can be mounted as a filesystem if that partition originally had multiple filesystems on it. I'm a bit wary of playing more with fsck until all else has failed. :-) What also weirds me out is that FreeBSD constantly bitches about the partition being larger than the physical disk (which it decidedly isn't.) I've tried setting geometry in fdisk any which way (including using the RAID controller's provided values), and as I said, the thing mounts the root partition of the array just fine.

I don't know whether I've missed any gpart options (I have the impression it only scans for lost partitions, not ufs filesystem signatures.) As far as I know - NB that I'm just starting to learn more about UFS, shame on me that I'll do this just as every piece of data is gone - there are more than one superblock present. According to man fsck_ufs, this could be a starting point: -b Use the block specified immediately after the flag as the super block for the file system. An alternate super block is usually located at block 32 for UFS1, and block 160 for UFS2. This applies if just the first superblock is gone.

Very Beginning CVSup Questions
I'm a beginner with FreeBSD and somewhat intermediate with Unix-like operating systems in general, so please bear the nature of my questions. I have some questions about CVSup that seem unclear from the handbook. Right now I'm sticking with RELENG_7_0; I intend to track -STABLE once I get the hang of CVSup, make buildworld, etc. I understand that the supfile contains the list of *default settings (*default tag=RELENG_7_0 etc.) followed by the list of collections. The Using CVSup page suggests simply using the src-all collection. I understand that when tracking -STABLE I want to update the ports collection before running make buildworld; is the ports collection included in the base source tree (i.e. does src-all imply ports-all) or should ports-all be included as a separate line beneath src-all? The Using the Ports Collection page in the handbook says to make sure /usr/ports is empty before running csup because otherwise csup will not prune removed patch files. Isn't this what the delete in the supfile (as in the line *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress) is for? Do I have to clean /usr/ports every time I run csup or just the first time? If I don't care about encrypted transmission or HTTP vs. CVS protocols, are there any compelling reasons to use portsnap instead of CVSup/csup?

I tried to monitor CPU temp with mbmon, which shows a very big value in COU temperature: I also opened the case in order to get ventilated with fresh air from the room. Actually, that doesn't work, your components will get hotter. This is because the case provides a through flow environment where air is forced to flow over most of the components most of the time. By opening the case you remove the force, and now have to rely on convection. What you want to do is make sure all the fans are running freely. Especially the processor fan. It may have stopped silently an dthat would definitely cause crashes. A fan at the front of the case blowing IN is more effective than one on the back blowing out, so if there isn't one on the front, add one. The 80 to 120mm ones can be very quiet and some can control their own speed if your motherboard cannot do it. If one can blow in the front and directly on the harddrives then that is a bonus, cool harddrives last longer. The basic idea of a case is to have air coming in the front and exiting at the rear. So make sure all your fans are blowing in the right direction. My office goes to 38C in summer, and all 5 computers just keep on going, using the principles above. I fitted a fan to the UPS as well (-: My box has 3 fans, one on the case blowing from outside=inside, one in the power supply and one on the CPU. In the evening, i will have the case/board inside blown/cleaned with air, i am gonna close the case, and i am gonna tune BIOS to fail-safe settings. When blowing the dust out, be sure to put the nozzle up against the edges of the cooling vanes on any coolers, especially the one for the CPU(s). Often such vanes are very close together and trap dust easily that will not be blown out when just cleaning the case and the motherboard. My portable, a Dell Inpsiron XPS, was running in a reduced-speed mode with COU temperatures in the high 70s C to low 80s C, but was also doing frequent emergency shutdowns at 89.5 C. After replacing two of the three fans and blowing out visible dust, the temperatures were reduced by about 15-18 C. Replacing the third fan brought the temperatures down another 2-3 C. Blowing the dust out of the cooling vanes brought them down another 6-8 C. Apart from that, i would like to have a reliable tool to monitor temperature. Is there anything in mind?

You can do that, but I think most people use separate files, so they can be updated independently. There are multiple sample files for this reason. The Using the Ports Collection page in the handbook says to make sure /usr/ports is empty before running csup because otherwise csup will not prune removed patch files. Isn't this what the delete in the supfile (as in the line *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress) is for? It's a bit subtle, csup has to establish a baseline in its metadata for it to be fully confident about which files it can delete, this can be done starting with an empty or fully syncronized tree. There's also a separate issue that it never deletes files which have never been under CVS. Do I have to clean /usr/ports every time I run csup or just the first time? Just the first. If I don't care about encrypted transmission or HTTP vs. CVS protocols, are there any compelling reasons to use portsnap instead of CVSup/csup? portsnap is much faster. And since the fetch part doesn't affect the ports tree it can be done safely from a crontab, which speeds things up even more. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DNS troubles
I'm trying to get a machine working, but it can't seem to handle DNS requests. I've just done a 7.0 install (from CD, usually I use net, but it wasn't connecting to anything, now I know why). I have a machine with two built in NICs on the motheroboard, one using nfe the other using bge. When I try to connect to anything, I get a cannot resolve host error. Both are set up to be static, 192.168.1.84, and bge is 192.168.1.86. I have tried both 192.168.1.1 (the router, which points to the ISPs DNS) and 4.2.2.1 in the /etc/resolve.conf file, each separately, not both at once. The machine can ping both of these addresses and gets a decent to rapid return time (~.3ms for the former, 20ms for the latter) Neither works on this machine. Both work on the other FreeBSD and Windows machines in the house. I have the machine set to dual boot, and DNS works fine under Windows. I tried DHCP without an luck. The previous install on this machine just worked. What I *SUSPECT* is the biggest clue (my guess, check an rc.d file, which?) During boot up, after showing the network interfaces, until showing the login prompt, the terminal gets spammed with b: not found. Up to this point: - I installed it once with a boot only CD and it worked fine, but being absent minded, I reinstalled thinking it would be the quickest/easiest way to fix an issue, and the install I had wasn't really 'set-up' yet. - The DNS checker (bind?) wasn't working properly during the first reinstall. Sadly, I found this out after reformatting the partitions. - I re-burned the CD with CD1 (not boot only), and tried again - DNS still didn't work. - I installed from CD. Process for current install: - I installed i386/7.0 from Install Disk 1, minimal install + dict, man, info and doc - I set the root password during the install - I updated the /etc/ssh* files to the files from my old system (I can ssh into the computer fine) - I copied over the rc.conf and modified the NIC and startup entries (see below) - I added if_tap_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf (this was AFTER the DNS issues had started) - set the values in /etc/resolve.conf - I copied /etc/supfile-ports and /etc/supfile-src from the old install. These are pretty boring supfiles for ports and src respectively. - I added my non-root account (so I could ssh in) That's it. Any ideas?

The Using CVSup page suggests simply using the src-all collection. I understand that when tracking -STABLE I want to update the ports collection before running make buildworld; Not necessarily. If you are tracking a -STABLE branch, the rule is that ports compiled on earlier builds should work in later builds. There are very few exceptions that may require a rebuild of ports, but the FreeBSD team tries to avoid those if at all possible. is the ports collection included in the base source tree (i.e. does src-all imply ports-all) or should ports-all be included as a separate line beneath src-all? It's probably a good idea to use a separate `supfile' for src/ and ports/. There are a few tiny but important differences between the base system (the src-all collection) and the ports. One of the differences is that the base system is branched. This means that the branch name RELENG_7 carries an important and well defined meaning for src-all. There are no branches in ports, on the other hand. A consequence of this is that using the same supfile with the option *default tag=RELENG_7_0 may do moderately surprising to your ports tree, like deleting it altogether. When CVSup fails to find a particular collection in the tag/branch you asked, and the supfile has enabled the *default delete use-rel-suffix option too, it _deletes_ the files that don't exist on the requested tag/branch. To avoid surprises like these, you can use two supfiles: one for the src-all collection, and one for the ports-all collection. The Using the Ports Collection page in the handbook says to make sure /usr/ports is empty before running csup because otherwise csup will not prune removed patch files. Isn't this what the delete in the supfile (as in the line *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress) is for? Do I have to clean /usr/ports every time I run csup or just the first time? Probably not. It's been a while that I haven't used CVSup for ports/, so someone with more recent experience should answer this. If I don't care about encrypted transmission or HTTP vs. CVS protocols, are there any compelling reasons to use portsnap instead of CVSup/csup? Speed. Portsnap doesn't have to worry about tags, branches, and CVS file revisions in the common case, so it can usually finish before CVSup has even finished uploading the current file versions. I just updated my /usr/ports tree with portsnap, and it took all of 50 seconds to fetch and apply 169 patches: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# \time portsnap fetch update | Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. | Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done. | Fetching snapshot metadata... done. | Updating from Sat Jul 19 18:10:14 EEST 2008 to Tue Jul 22 03:17:39 EEST 2008. | Fetching 3 metadata patches.. done. | Applying metadata patches... done. | Fetching 0 metadata files... done. | Fetching 169 patches.102030405060708090100110120130140150160 done. | Applying patches... done. | Fetching 22 new ports or files... done. | Removing old files and directories... done. | Extracting new files: | [lots of file paths snipped] | /usr/ports/x11/xloadimage/ | Building new INDEX files... done. |68.64 real12.99 user24.40 sys | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# That's fast enough for me :-) Having said that, there are compelling reasons to use CVSup for ports if you are a developer who wants to make local patches for some of the ports, or if you are maintaining a large number of ports. In this case, having a local CVS mirror of the ports, and checking out from CVS may be useful, because you can see the history of the ports, browse through patches committed, look at port changelogs, or even maintain a locally patched /usr/ports tree in semi-offline mode. That mode of updating is useful too. It all depends on what you are planning to do with your /usr/ports tree. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using ccd with zfs
Hello -questions, I have a FreeBSD ZFS storage system working wonderfully with 7.0. It's set up as three 3-disk RAIDZs -triplets of 500, 400, and 300GB drives. I recently purchased three 750GB drives and would like to convert to using a RAIDZ2. As ZFS has no restriping capabilities yet, I will have to nuke the zpool from orbit and make a new one. I would like to verify my methodology against your experience to see if what I wish to do is reasonable: I plan to first take 2 of the 750GB drives and make an unreplicated 1.5TB zpool as a temporary storage. Since ZFS doesn't seem to have the ability to create zpools in degraded mode (with missing drives) I plan to use iSCSI to create two additional drives (backed by /dev/ zero) to fake having two extra drives, relying on ZFS's RAIDZ2 protection to keep everything running despite the fact that two of the drives are horribly broken ;) To make these 500, 400, and 300GB drives useful, I would like to stitch them together using ccd. I would use it as 500+300 = 800GB and 400+400=800GB That way, in the end I would have 750 x 3 500 + 300 x3 400 + 400 x 1 400 + 200 + 200 x 1 as the members in my RAIDZ2 group. I understand that this is slightly less reliable than having real drives for all the members, but I am not interested in purchasing 5 more 750GB drives. I'll replace the drives as they fail. I am wondering if there are any logistical problems. The three parts I am worried about are: 1) Are there any problems with using an iSCSI /dev/zero drive to fake drives for creation of a new zpool, with the intent to replace them later with proper drives? 2) Are there any problems with using CCD under zpool? Should I stripe or concatenate? Will the startup scripts (either by design or less likely intelligently) decide to start CCD before zfs? The zpool should start without me interfering, correct? 3) I hear a lot about how you should use whole disks so ZFS can enable write caching for improved performance. Do I need to do anything special to let the system know that it's OK to enable the write cache? And persist across reboots? Any other potential pitfalls? Also, I'd like to confirm that there's no way to do this pure ZFS-like - I read the documentation but it doesn't seem to have support for nesting vdevs (which would let me do this without ccd) Thanks for any information that you might be able to provide, Steven Schlansker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know about the iSCSI approach but I have successfully created a degraded zpool using md and a sparse file in place of the missing disk. Worked like a charm and I was able to transfer everything to the zpool before nuking the real device (which I had been using for temporary storage) and replacing the md file with it. You can create a sparse file using dd: dd if=/dev/zero of=sparsefile bs=512 seek=(size of the fake device in 512-byte blocks) count=0 Turn it into a device node using mdconfig: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f sparsefile Then create your zpool using the /dev/md0 device (unless the mdconfig operation returns a different node number). The size of the sparse file should not be bigger than the size of the real device you plan to replace it with. If using GEOM (which I think you should, see below), be sure to remember to subtract 512 bytes for each level of each provider (GEOM modules store their metadata in the last sector of each provider so that space is unavailable for use). To be on the safe side you can whack a few KB off. You can't remove the fake device from a running zpool but the first time you reboot it will be absent and the zpool will come up degraded. 2) Are there any problems with using CCD under zpool? Should I stripe or concatenate? Will the startup scripts (either by design or less likely intelligently) decide to start CCD before zfs? The zpool should start without me interfering, correct? I would suggest using gconcat rather than CCD. Since it's a GEOM module (and you will have remembered to load it via /boot/loader.conf) it will initialize its devices before ZFS starts. It's also much easier to set up than CCD. If you are concatenating two devices of the same size you could consider using gstripe instead, but think about the topology of your drives and controllers and the likely usage patterns your final setup will create to decide if that's a good idea. 3) I hear a lot about how you should use whole disks so ZFS can enable write caching for improved performance. Do I need to do anything special to let the system know that it's OK to enable the write cache? And persist across reboots? Not that I know of. As I understand it ZFS _assumes_ it's working with whole disks so since it uses its own i/o scheduler performance can be degraded for anything sharing a physical device with a ZFS slice. Any other potential pitfalls? Also, I'd like to confirm that there's no way to do this pure ZFS-like - I read the documentation but it doesn't seem to have support for nesting vdevs (which would let me do this without ccd) You're right, you can't do this with ZFS alone.

USB audio CDs?
I have a USB DVD-RW drive that I'd like to use to rip music under 6.3-RELEASE, but I don't have a /dev/acd0 (and can't get grip to work from /dev/cd0). /dev/cd0 shows up fine, but audio CDs log errors and grip (from ports) can't do much with /dev/cd0. grip is able to see the disc table of contents for the CD, but attempting to rip only generates errors: 006: Could not read any data from drive (repeats per track) Repeatable for different CDs. I was able to mount a cd9660 disc from this drive without a problem. I've previously done this (using grip) with ATA/SATA optical drives of various sorts, as well as used various USB mass-storage devices without any problems, but this is my first shot under *BSD at getting audio off a USB optical drive. I read through the USB related man pages, FB handbook, and googled without finding any answers... Would appreciate any advice!

Re: config as an exit of IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel
Thanks, Matthew ! I will try it, and report again. 2008/7/21 Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hashimoto wrote: Can I configure FreeBSD as an exit of IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel? Let me explain it in detail. Both hostA and hostB have global IPv4 address. And hostA has global IPv6 address. I have installed FreeBSD 7.0 on both hostA and hostB. Then, I want to config IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel from hostB to hostA. Is it possible? Yes, absolutely. I have a similar configuration for my IPv6 connectivity. There are some alternatives (stf(4), faith(4)), but this is based I what I have. This is mostly in terms of what you'ld add to /etc/rc.conf on HostB -- HostA will be similar, but addresses will be reversed in the obvious places. i) Create a gif(4) interface and configure the endpoints: gif_interfaces=gif0 gifconfig_gif0=hostB-ipv4-number hostA-ipv4-number ii) Enable IPv6 on HostB -- I'm assuming you've assigned a /64 net block to HostB (perhaps a tad excessive, but pretty much the default for an allocation of a chunk of IPv6 address space.) Adjust the prefixlen to suit. ipv6_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=-interface gif0 ipv6_default_interface=gif0 ipv6_ifconfig_gif0=1234:5678:9abc:def0::1 prefixlen 64 iii) Settings on HostA are slightly different -- HostA has to be a router, and it only wants to route the HostB block via the gif(4) tunnel: ipv6_enable=YES ipv6_defaultrouter=hostA-ipv6-gateway-address ipv6_gateway_enable=YES ipv6_static_routes=hostB ipv6_route_hostB=1234:5678:9abc:def0:: -prefixlen 64 -interface gif0 iv) That should be everything you need to get point to point connectivity working. Note: it's pretty easy now to make HostB an IPv6 router and assign IPv6 addresses to anything on the same local subnet as HostB. In fact, you can use rtadvd(8) on HostB to make that automatic: ipv6_network_interfaces=auto ipv6_prefix_em0=1234:5678:9acb:def0 rtadvd_enable=YES rtadvd_interfaces=em0 Then just run rtsol(8) on all the other machines that will use HostB as their IPv6 gateway.
