Re: make release and sysinstall

2008-08-14 Thread Riaan Kruger
Sysinstall has a configuration file with wich you can specify several
options, see man sysinstall(8) for more details.  When making a
release you set the sysinstalls configuration file with the
LOCAL_PATCHES option to patch it to the chroot environment release
build environment.

We use it to create a automatic install for a host that we know
exactly how the disks will be partitioned, what packages are installed
what users etc.

Here is an snippet of our patch file, (please note I have changed some
of the names to protect the guilty :) )

Hope this helps.

PS. You could also look at what nanobsd and I think pfsense does. I
think they use a different approach.  I have heard sysinstall should
have been killed a long time ago but it still works well for us.

Nvidia 6100 MCP RAID or GEOM

2008-08-14 Thread Iv. Karabojkov

Hi!

I am asking for recommendation. I'd like to use two SATA disks as RAID1 
- mirror. My MB uses NVidia MCP6100 with hardware RAID.

Is it better to use this RAID or to build a new one using GEOM?
If I accidentally replace the MB will it be easy to reconfigure GEOM 
(for hardware RAID I know it is not if the chipset / SATA BIOS is not 
the same).


And one more: Is network chip Realtek RTL8201 supported on FreeBSD? I 
didn't find it in rl or re drivers, some article says it is supported by 
nve or nfe ?!?


Thanks in advance,
Ivo

Usually this hardware RAID, is nothing more than software in a cheap 
circuit. The price of these mobos does not justify a real hardware RAID. 
I would go with GEOM.

I believe you have an Nvidia card with a realtek phy.  This works with 
the nfe driver (the following is from a MCP6100 mobo I am using as a 
server at a client):


nfe0: NVIDIA nForce MCP61 Networking Adapter port 0xe480-0xe487 mem 
0xdfff9000-0xdfff9fff irq 23 at device 7.0 on pci0

miibus0: MII bus on nfe0
rlphy0: RTL8201L 10/100 media interface on miibus0
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Hi Riaan,
Thanks a lot for your explanation, it's been very usefull to me, really.

I've been looking about Freesbie, but it seems abandoned and on 
their mailing list there is no post since a couple of months.


PfSense, which I use here, uses bsdInstaller but it's last new is from 
Aug 02 2005, so, it seems abandoned also.


More of the same with the livecd port... the scripts are not up to 
date with current FreeBSD releases.


I'll give a sigth to nanoBSD., but for the moment it seems that where I 
can get more support/documentation is with sysinstall and standard 
FreeBSD tools.



Another question:

Suppose I create my own install.cfg for sysinstall and then I do a make 
release.If my sysinstall contains a couple of freeBSD packages (bash, 
python, etc..) plus a custom package created by me.. How must I instruct 
make release to include just those packages in the final CDROM?



Thanks a lot.

I have not personally added packages to my distribution CDs but, check
out the CD_PACKAGE_TREE option in release(7). It is supposed to be the
direcory(s) that contains packages for cd1 and cd2.

I am replying to the freebsd-questions mailing list, so that other

portupgrade installation date of a package

2008-08-14 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I was updating all packages which have been installed by the FreeBSD
7.0R base installation and X11 with portupgrade like this:

# portupgrade -f '2008-08-13 12:55'

i.e. update all packages/ports which have been installed before
2008-08-13 12:55 (this was the time when the installation finished);
I picked up this time with an

# ls -ltr /var/db/pkg | more

and saw at which point the installation finished; so far so good;

after some time I cancelled the 'portupgrade' because I forgot to say
--batch mode; a look into a new

# ls -ltr /var/db/pkg | more

showed that for each package dir there the time was updated to 'now',
i.e. no date before 2008-08-13 12:55 any more; but even with this a 2nd 

# portupgrade --batch -f '2008-08-13 12:55'

knows exactly which ports/packages have been installed before that date;

my question is: where is this installation date stored?

thx

matthias

Hi Matthias,

In the file /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb, there's a
function for determining the package installation date:


~  def date_installed(pkgname)
~installed?(pkgname) or return nil

~File.mtime(pkg_comment(pkgname)) ||
~  File.mtime(pkg_descr(pkgname)) ||
~  File.mtime(pkg_contents(pkgname)) rescue Time.at(0)
~  end


I'm not a Ruby programmer, but my reading of that snippet makes me think
the mtime of one of the +COMMENT, +DESCR, or +CONTENTS files in
/var/db/pkg/pkgname is used for the installation date.

I just checked a package directory on my system:

fbsd70# cd /var/db/pkg/apache-2.0.63/
fbsd70# ls -latr
total 142
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel   17501 Apr 22 09:46 +MTREE_DIRS
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel 718 Apr 22 09:46 +INSTALL
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel 132 Apr 22 09:46 +DISPLAY
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel 501 Apr 22 09:46 +DESC
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel  49 Apr 22 09:46 +COMMENT
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel  100382 Jul 21 12:02 +CONTENTS
drwxr-xr-x2 root  wheel 512 Jul 23 14:40 .
- -rw-r--r--1 root  wheel 598 Jul 25 09:31 +REQUIRED_BY
drwxr-xr-x  421 root  wheel   11776 Aug 13 16:48 ..
fbsd70#

I believe the mtime for +COMMENT will be used, since it appears first in
the Ruby expression above.  The date on the directory itself is later,
and is the same as many other directories in /var/db/pkg, as you noted,
but that's not used.

Hope that helps,
Greg

Re: Recover Deleted File FreeBSD 7.0

2008-08-14 Thread Ruben de Groot

Restore from your backups (you DO have backups, don't you?) ;)

Otherwise, there's no easy way to do this. If the data you deleted is very 
valuable, first thing to do is umount the filesystem, preventing the data 
of the deleted files from being overwritten by any new filesystem writes.

There might be some companies specializing in recovering your data, but it'll
cost you money.
Ik the files are in ascii, you might get some of the data back by using 
strings, grep, dd and other tools on the disk device.

G'luck,
Ruben

I'm asking because I'm also interested in obtaining an
external thermometer that would work with FreeBSD.
  


Not yet. I didn't have chance to try CURRENT and uchcom does not work 
under 6.3


Yes! It works (I think). Identifies itself as:
ucom0: vendor 0x4348 USB-SER!, class 255/0, rev 1.10/2.50, addr 2 on uhub1
ucom0: CH340 detected

After this it can be accessed like any other usb-serial device. Found 
this note about it

http://err.no/personal/blog/tech/2008-07-22-10-17_kernel_patches_TEMPer_thermometer.html

To anyone wishig to have one, it can be found on brando or ebay as USB 
TEMPer or TEMPer2.

IIRC, PostgreSQL always starts with this FATAL message. It still

 Restore from your backups (you DO have backups, don't you?) ;)

 Otherwise, there's no easy way to do this. If the data you deleted is very
 valuable, first thing to do is umount the filesystem, preventing the data
 of the deleted files from being overwritten by any new filesystem writes.

 There might be some companies specializing in recovering your data, but it'll
 cost you money.
 Ik the files are in ascii, you might get some of the data back by using
 strings, grep, dd and other tools on the disk device.

Correct, this shows da0 is your USB disk. You just need to know
which partition to access.

# ls /dev/da0*

will show you which entries are present. As I mentioned before,
/dev/da0s1 or /dev/da0s1c should be the correct one.

You can check which partitions are on da0 with this command
that just does some reading (no modification):

# fdisk da0

Then you tried, as suggested:

 $mount -t msdosfs dev/da0s1c /mnt
 mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1c: Operation not permitted

Yes, of course. You're issuing this command from a user's shell,
not as root. But because of FreeBSD's security concepts, you need
to do the mount operation as root (that's why I prefixed the
mount command with a # sign), so use su or sudo (sudo needs
to be installed).

You can, of course, enable the user to have access to the USB
devices by modifying /etc/devfs.conf and setting vfs.usermount=1
in /etc/sysctl.conf.

 $mount -t msdosfs dev/da0 /mnt
 mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted

Same reason here. You need to be root to do this. And don't
complain, it's completely intended to be this way. :-)

 Greeting

Hello Jack,

I had this same setup for quite some time. You will want to start with
XP, since it seems to require being the first slice on the disk. Just
make sure you don't let the XP install use the whole disk. You can
then choose either FreeBSD or Ubuntu to be the second slice, it's
really a matter of preference. Personally, I installed FreeBSD second,
then added Ubuntu to the end as an afterthought.

Note: when using this install sequence, Ubuntu will install GRUB as a
boot loader, which will recognize XP just fine, but will ignore
FreeBSD (at least it did pre-Hardy Heron). You will have to edit the
GRUB config manually to make your FreeBSD install available in the
GRUB menu. It's not difficult, but it does add an extra step. Also, be
sure to keep a backup of your modified GRUB config---it seems that
each time Ubuntu decides it needs to perform a significant update, it
replaces the GRUB config with the default, making FreeBSD once again
inaccessible. There is probably a way to prevent this, but I never got
around to investigating it.

HTH,
~Jason

I have the same probel, except that I hit PF8 in the Midnight
Commander which caused a recursion of unlink() to delete the files.

Of course I don't have a backup. :-(

As it has been mentioned by Diego F. Arias R., The Sleuth Kit
could offer some help. When TSK was TCT, there was a command
unrm which is dls today. Refer to

% man dls

for further information, and assert enough disk space because I
think you have to work from an image. Furthermore, assert that
no writes go to the disk you want to recover deleted files from.

There's a good piece of documentation:

% less /usr/local/share/doc/sleuthkit/ref_fs.txt

Maybe it's a bit explainatory and helpful.

First, make a dd copy of the partition, then run dls with the
proper options on it.

Sadly, I can't tell you more about this topic because I didn't
have any luck until today solving my similar problem.

Maybe you want to give back a little report when dls did work
for you?

BTW, the system loads 4 .jpg files from the server.

 

On our old Windows Server the system was very fast on Samba is damn slow.
About 2 mins to load.

 

I have no clue on what to do.

overwritten, in which case complete retrieval is impossible.

 I'm very sad that one of the important directory in my server was deleted

Of course the best way to recover data is to restore it from a

Last I heard they got the documentation for card initialization and (I

 The driver that you want for ATI cards is xf86-video-ati. But for the
 most features you'll have to compile it yourself from the code in a git
 repository. You'll probably need an updated DRM driver as well.

ok, it looks like the radeon (no HD) driver is part of the
xf86-video-ati driver, and by the size of the ati_drv.so file, I'm
guessing most of what ati_drv.so does is access and control the access
of radeon_drv, correct?

I wonder why there's no cutoff for the 3D functionality in the ATi
driver's man page. It just lists all supported cards without mention
of which have 3D implementations (try `man radeon`).

  with documentation (could be that that has happened by now?).
 
 Last I heard they got the documentation for card initialization and (I
 think) power management. No acceleration docs yet. It still came to
 over 900 pages. Hopefully there's been more since.

Looking over the articles on the phoronix website it seems that
accelleration on the R300 is supported, R5xx is shaping up and R6xx has
just started but needs extra docs.

The DRM driver in FreeBSD also needs updating, which is in the works,
see other posts.

  The driver that you want for ATI cards is xf86-video-ati. But for the
  most features you'll have to compile it yourself from the code in a git
  repository. You'll probably need an updated DRM driver as well.
 
 ok, it looks like the radeon (no HD) driver is part of the
 xf86-video-ati driver, and by the size of the ati_drv.so file, I'm
 guessing most of what ati_drv.so does is access and control the access
 of radeon_drv, correct?

Not sure, but I guess so.
 
 I wonder why there's no cutoff for the 3D functionality in the ATi
 driver's man page. It just lists all supported cards without mention
 of which have 3D implementations (try `man radeon`).

It could be more clear. Maybe you can submit a bug report or a patch?

But further down it says:

   Option RenderAccel boolean
  Enables or disables hardware Render acceleration.   This  driver
  does  not  support  component alpha (subpixel) rendering.  It is
  only supported  on  Radeon  series  up  to  and  including  9200
  (9500/9700  and  newer  unsupported).   The default is to enable
  Render acceleration.

For the record, my Radeon HD 3450 (RV620)  works, but without accelleration at
the moment.

Migrate harddisk with FreeBSD into new machine

2008-08-14 Thread C.M. Burns

Hi list,

I have a problem. A faulty machine was running freeBSD with a two 
harddisk software raid.
now these two disks should be put into a new machine, but of course it 
won't boot because it is new hardware.
Kernel just reports: cannot mount root device from /dev/mirror/gm0s1a 
(or sth like this).


question is now, how can i add the correct driver into the initial 
ramdisk (if there is such a thing on bsd) so the machine finds the two 
drives?
second question: how can i afterwards remove the software mirror and 
only use one harddisk from that moment on?


any help is very welcom, as i have no idea about bsd. i am a linux guy ;)

thanks!

What I would do, is install FreeBSD onto a new separate hard disk.  Disks 
are cheap.  Once you get the boot disk installed you can create a custom 
kernel if necessary to support the RAID.

Yes, in general, in Debian or Ubuntu config files there are markers
which delimitate what the system is allowed to mess with and the rest.
For example, for grub, i have (but the same idea appears in xorg config

used by FreeBSD):

.

title   Ubuntu, memtest86+
root(hd0,5)
kernel  /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST


Here things are safe.




Note that, as remarked by several people, contrary to the grub version
in ports, the grub version coming with Ubuntu doesn't read the UFS2
filesystem, so one needs to load FreeBSD by chain booting instead of
directly loading /boot/loader.

Working ccache configuration for buildworld on amd64?

2008-08-14 Thread Maxim Khitrov
This is an old problem, but so far I haven't been able to find a
solution. When ccache is used to build world on amd64, the process
fails when /usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/crt1.c is compiled. If
WITHOUT_LIB32 is added to src.conf, this problem does not happen.
Likewise, building without ccache works fine.

Has anyone out there been able to find a ccache configuration that
would work in this situation? I tried disabling ccache for some of the
directories under /usr/src and /usr/obj, but it only caused problems
in other stages of the build process.

Here are the default ccache settings from make.conf:

.if exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache)  !defined(NOCCACHE)  \
(!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*))
CC=  /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc
CXX= /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-c++
.endif

And here is what I tried using to isolate the problem, albeit with no success:

.if exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache)  !defined(NOCCACHE)  \
(!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*))  \
empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src/lib/csu*)  \
empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj/usr/src/lib/csu*)  \
empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj/lib32/usr/src/lib/csu*)
CC=  /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc
CXX= /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-c++
.endif

Please let me know if you have a working solution.

It sounds like the kernel on the disks doesn't have the driver for the 
buslogic bt948 SCSI controller in it.  Unfortunately, this driver is not 
available to be loaded as a module either.  the GENERIC kernel comes with the 
needed driver (called bt).  You don't have to compile a new kernel, but you 
are going to have to replace the kernel on the disks with one containing the 
needed driver (like GENERIC).   Either way, the recovery procedure involves 
booting off a CD and replacing the on disk kernel.

run lsdev to determine which bios device is your floppy (most likely
disk0), then run load disk0:/amr.ko.  The loader will read ufs,
msdos, cd9660, and ext2 filesystems, so you could load the module from
any number of sources.  I don't know if the megaraid controller will
make your two disks visible to the host without you configuring them
for hardware raid, though.

Re: Best SMTP Gateway Program and Reporting Tools

Hi Josh,

 I just wanted to pose this question to the list on people's opinions as
 to what the best SMTP Gateway program (ie. Sendmail, Postfix, etc) is
 and what the best log analysis tool for that SMTP program is. 

All the advice from other messages stands.  Each package has its
benefits.  Everbody knows and supports sendmail, but it's annoying to
configure.  Postfix is great, easy to configure, and now with milter
support can do almost anything that Sendmail can.  Smail and Exim users
swear by their products, and I'm sure they're great (though I've never
used either).  Zmailer scales beautifully, though if you actually have
enough traffic to take advantage of its scaling, you should buy another
five mail servers.

As for the best log analysis tool ... it's not free, but I absolutely
adore Sawmill (http://www.sawmill.net/).  It will support any and all
log formats -- I currently use it with both Sendmail and Postfix logs.

Highly recommended.  And not very expensive.

 is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based
 interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer
 complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs
 and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to
 determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and
 if so why. 

Grep is your friend.  Innovative use of grep, even.  And if you use
sendmail, here's a tool I wrote many many years ago that's had regular
use over the years: http://www.it.ca/~paul/mailqgrep

I haven't yet adapted it to Postfix logs.  Trickier to parse.

 I've heard of and read about a few different programs like SMA and
 Anteater and pflogstats, but I don't know if these will have the
 functionality I need to allow admins to search logs for a specific
 date/time and/or specific phrase/address on a web based interface.

Yup.  The most detailed view of your log data is a direct one that you
can get using grep.  I don't know those other packages, but I do love
Sawmill's web UI.

(Hear that, Greg?  I'm marketing for ya! ;] )

Did you try creating a raid array first?

Most raid controllers will operate in RAID or pass through mode.  Choose 
the mode you want, and create an array if you want before trying the install.

Re: Unable to update transcode port

I can't tell from the output you provided if this is relevant, but I

Re: question -updating package + ignore depend

2008-08-14 Thread m cassar
actually I only installed ff2 cuz it was easier at the time - since i only
ran into this while trying to update other parts of my system (thru pkg_add)
and had other things to worry about. since ff3 runs flash ok, that's enough
for me, and seems everything else is improving from what mike mentionsl so i
still would like to figure out what you are trying to explain.

I mean i only limit myself to *make install clean* when it comes to ports
and hope for the best. i brushed thru the porter's handbook when i got stuck
with ff2 to see how to ignore it (which didn't work anyway) and have a basic
idea of what you are saying, but it is still a bit chinese to me.

long story short, i had to scrap that system and start from scratch since
then, so i will still have to go thru this and figure it out shortly, not
just for the sake of ff right now but any future issues with ports; so i
don't know if you want to follow up, try this out, or see what happens my
end.

while i'm at it, and for the record, after ff i ran into something else much
more annoying and a bit comical to some extent. i was trying to install
azureus, which needs jdk and the java files manually downloaded, which is
not a small package. i went out and let it run, only to come back a few
hours later and find it still building - and had to wait another long time
for it to finish. meanwhile i noticed the word mozilla rushing by and was
wondering *what the heck* since both firefox2+3 were up to date. when it
finished i realized it was plain old mozilla, which isn't small, ran it,
only to find this has known vulnerabilities and security issues, please
install firefox and thunder

$ORIGIN problem in freebsd 6.2

2008-08-14 Thread Oancea Ionut-Francisc
Hi all,

     I have a problem with the runtime library linking on freebsd6.2_ix86... My 
executable file is linked to the others shared libraries (on compile time) and 
for the runtime, rpath was set to $ORIGIN( i checked this and with 'readelf' 
utility). Now, the issue is why, when i try to run my executable, the shared 
libraries cannot be found although all needed libraries are in the same path to 
the executable?The same thing result and after running 'ldd myexecutable' 
command, none library is find... I realize that the $ORIGIN variable is ignored 
or unknown after I change the rpath with the entire path to the shared 
libraries and then everything goes properly.
  Is here another solution to set up the search path to the same dir with 
the executable?...or I must to update my /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and my 'ld' 
utility(the version of ld is 2.15)


Thanks

It's likely that man ldconfig or setting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH env  
variable can resolve your missing shared libraries...

Most startup scripts now require a line:

in rc.conf before they will run. This is also usually now the 
case also with scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Usually comment lines near the beginning of the script

transcode doesn't build....

Hi Y'all:-)

About the only thing that fails to portupgrade is
multimedia/transcode [v 1.0.6].   I've poked around, but only 
superficially.  Is there a bug report on this?  Should I have
checked online further?   Please excuse if so.  This is the first
time that things have hung up and that I have not been able to
resolve.

thanks in advance,
