Re: Change one file in an ISO image

Unfortunately I dont have many options of changing the fie before creating the image. Mounting is not the issue, copying data neither but the ISO is also bootable. There must be a simpler solution as in copying all the content with cpio and making it bootable. OS on the DVD is WinPE btw. Does anyone have some pointers for performing this action? Unfortunately, libarchive(3), which is used by tar(1) and cpio(1) on recent versions of FreeBSD, seems to have only read and extract support for ISO 9660 archives, and not write support (see libarchive-formats(5) or http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/wiki/LibarchiveFormats ). So while you could use tar(1) or cpio(1) to extract the contents of the dvd without mounting it in order to make your change, you would have to use some other tool to write the new .iso image, like mkisofs(8) from the sysutils/cdrtools-devel port. (And if the original image has extensions that are not supported by librarchive(3), you could use something like readcd(1) from that same port instead of tar(1) or cpio(1) to read and extract it.) If the linux suggestion fails I will try this one. Unfortunately I can't do Make release as it is not Freebsd. It is a Windows based boot cd.

This is a convention, and particular services may use several more specific variables to build a command line or may simply ignore any flags variable completely, so you'll have to check each case individually. for example, how does one start sshd using /etc/rc.d/sshd and pass it '-o X11Forwarding=no' without touching a config file? In this case, setting sshd_flags will work as sshd uses the default rc start function. hi matthew, i tried this and couldn't make it work before i emailed my question. then mel answered that the /etc/rc.d/foo scripts ignore environment. and then, looking closer at man pages, i got the impression that perhaps only /etc/rc uses the foo_flags variables when it invokes /etc/rc.d/foo scripts. Uh, yeah. My tortured mental processes had somehow concluded that /etc/rc.conf *wasn't* a config file and then I pretty much forgot to add 'in /etc/rc.conf' at the crucial point in what I wrote.

Booting ZFS and GPT
Hi, I've read and tried out that FreeBSD is able to boot from ZFS directly, also with GPT partitions, through zfsboot and gptzfsboot. When I tried the last time 8-CURRENT it was however not built into the release CD. Will this be included in the final release image? Is there any plan to include GPT and ZFS setup in sysinstall during an initial installation?

ZFS on small systems
Hi, I'm interested in using ZFS on one of my small systems with 256 MB of RAM and 4 GB flash disk. Since ZFS is now considered production ready on FreeBSD I would like to use it as root filesystem and profit mainly from the cool snapshot features for easy backups. I found multiple recommendations to run ZFS only on systems with enough resources. But is this only a requirement if you want good performance or also for ZFS to function properly at all?

I've found that on the i386 arch, that at minimum you need 756M of memory to do anything really useful. Now, I don't know if this has changed or not, but I doubt that the box would be useful for anything with only 256M. With that said, I can keep a box running at max disk r/w for hours on end with 2GB, and 1536M allocated/reserved for ZFS. Perhaps however that there have been enhancements introduced that I don't know about, that allow ZFS to operate in such a small memory address space, but for some reason I doubt it.

Re: New mail server setup

Smith - Adhost wrote: Steve Bertrand wrote: If anyone has a setup that has redundancy for their IMAP/POP services, and a method to keep the changing data relatively up-to-date, I'd love to hear about it. [ big snip ] Another approach would be a cluster of Postfix servers and Dovecot servers behind PF load balancers. We have 3 POP servers (IMAP/POP), 9 Mail Servers, 2 Defer servers and 5 Filter servers that process over 20 million messages a day without a blip. We can take individual servers out of the pool for maintenance, etc. Everything is fed to a set of redundant NAS for the data storage and common configuration files. Thanks Mike, I'm interested to learn a little more about your setup. I was going to take it off-list, but if you can provide some further details, it would probably add long-term value to keep it here. So, a couple of questions: - can your PF load balancers 'sense' when one of the Postfix/Dovecot units are down, or is this a manual change in config to prevent any time-out conditions? I like this load balancer idea. In my environment, it would be trivial to set up a couple of them, throw Quagga on them, and integrate them directly into our iBGP setup. On the other side, I could use VRRP or the like to ensure redundancy from front to back. - do the Postfix/Dovecot servers communicate with each other, or are they simply stand-alone units that don't know/care that they have other peers helping with the workload? - are your filter servers in front of, or behind the load balancers (iow, is all of your inbound email passed through the balancers, and then filtered/processed/delivered in behind them)? - how do all of the pieces communicate with the NAS...NFS? - could you share a small snip of your PF config in relation to load-balancing, so I can get a bit of a better understanding config-wise on how that piece hangs together?

Re: A question about the date Function
Thanks to those who answered my question. I have discovered in the process one big difference between the date function in freebsd and Linux. Under freebsd, date -r 1234567890 or whatever value you need converts that unsigned long in to the normal date output set to that reference value. IN Linux, -r should be followed by a file name and it gives you the formatted date as read from the mtime of that reference file. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have a machine running FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3: Tue Sep 15 18:49:58 EDT 2009 amd64 It has this in the config file for the running kernel: options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100#limit verbosity options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT#allow everything by default options IPFIREWALL_NAT #ipfw kernel nat support options LIBALIAS It (10.0.0.1) connects correctly to another machine (10.0.0.3); I know because .3 mounts one of .1's disks using Samba. With the ipfw rules appended below, I can't NAT, nor should I be able to. (em0 faces the Internet; em1 faces the other machine.) However: using these I still can't get through ipfw add 5000 nat 15 all from any to any ipfw nat 15 config log same_ports ip 10.0.0.0/8 Have I forgotten something? Or misunderstood something?

Re: ZFS on small systems
Thanks for your advice, Steve. I looked a bit at the source code and in /usr/src/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/arc.c and I found this: /* set min cache to 1/32 of all memory, or 16MB, whichever is more */ arc_c_min = MAX(arc_c / 4, 6418); Could this mean that 16 MB are already enough to run ZFS?

I found multiple recommendations to run ZFS only on systems with enough resources. But is this only a requirement if you want good performance or also for ZFS to function properly at all? I've found that on the i386 arch, that at minimum you need 756M of memory to do anything really useful. Now, I don't know if this has changed or not, but I doubt that the box would be useful for anything with only 256M. With that said, I can keep a box running at max disk r/w for hours on end with 2GB, and 1536M allocated/reserved for ZFS. Perhaps however that there have been enhancements introduced that I don't know about, that allow ZFS to operate in such a small memory address space, but for some reason I doubt it.

RE: New mail server setup
Hello Steve: I'll try to answer your questions in line. snip Another approach would be a cluster of Postfix servers and Dovecot servers behind PF load balancers. We have 3 POP servers (IMAP/POP), 9 Mail Servers, 2 Defer servers and 5 Filter servers that process over 20 million messages a day without a blip. We can take individual servers out of the pool for maintenance, etc. Everything is fed to a set of redundant NAS for the data storage and common configuration files. Thanks Mike, I'm interested to learn a little more about your setup. I was going to take it off-list, but if you can provide some further details, it would probably add long-term value to keep it here. So, a couple of questions: - can your PF load balancers 'sense' when one of the Postfix/Dovecot units are down, or is this a manual change in config to prevent any time-out conditions? Not natively. When we initially implemented this setup, ifstated wasn't up to snuff, so we wrote some PERL scripts that make connections to the required ports and, if no connection is established, pull the server from the table and send us an alarm. We also have scripts so that we can pull servers out when we're doing maintenance. I like this load balancer idea. In my environment, it would be trivial to set up a couple of them, throw Quagga on them, and integrate them directly into our iBGP setup. On the other side, I could use VRRP or the like to ensure redundancy from front to back. We use two PF boxes and CARP with PFSync for failover, so no dynamic protocols are needed. - do the Postfix/Dovecot servers communicate with each other, or are they simply stand-alone units that don't know/care that they have other peers helping with the workload? They are standalone. All of the user authentication is handled from a centralized database, so there are no local credentials stored on the server. - are your filter servers in front of, or behind the load balancers (iow, is all of your inbound email passed through the balancers, and then filtered/processed/delivered in behind them)? They are behind the PF boxes. We have other hooks in PF that we use to block SPAM in PF, including Cloudmark and some custom stuff that looks for multiple mails to non-existent addresses. We also use the overload tables for abusive connections. - how do all of the pieces communicate with the NAS...NFS? Yes. Originally we used TCP but we found performance to be much better with UDP. NFSv3 by the way. - could you share a small snip of your PF config in relation to load-balancing, so I can get a bit of a better understanding config- wise on how that piece hangs together? (I've never used PF, only IFPW ;) That might be difficult because it's about 720 lines. :-) Here are some highlights, though. 1) Our customers use mail.adhost.com for everything - SMTP, POP and IMAP. We use redirects in PF so that traffic coming in on the associated ports goes to the appropriate servers. 2) We have our load-balanced DNS servers behind the same PF boxes so we localize the tons of DNS queries related to mail. 3) We do a lot of our rejecting in PF, including Spamhaus, Cloudmark, check scripts for Phishing, Porn and Viruses, as well as our own list of Nefarious IP's culled from various sources. When traffic matches these originators, we send them to mail reject servers that send out a 550 message with the group name so we can find false positives more quickly. 4) Because 3 does have false positives, we have a whitelist that we can add to that will pass traffic to the mail servers before they match against any of the tables in 3. 5) We use POP before SMTP, so once we authenticate a user to send, their IP address is also added to an allow table. 6) The filter servers are load balanced to and from the mail servers so we can take them in and out of their pool for maintenance. If you have a particular scenario you're thinking about I could help you with the rules to make it work.

Michael K. Smith - Adhost wrote: - can your PF load balancers 'sense' when one of the Postfix/Dovecot units are down, or is this a manual change in config to prevent any time-out conditions? Not natively. When we initially implemented this setup, ifstated wasn't up to snuff, so we wrote some PERL scripts that make connections to the required ports and, if no connection is established, pull the server from the table and send us an alarm. We also have scripts so that we can pull servers out when we're doing maintenance. Ok. I've done the above in similar situations numerous times, so that works. I like this load balancer idea. In my environment, it would be trivial to set up a couple of them, throw Quagga on them, and integrate them directly into our iBGP setup. On the other side, I could use VRRP or the like to ensure redundancy from front to back. We use two PF boxes and CARP with PFSync for failover, so no dynamic protocols are needed. I'll have to review this further. I'm not overly familiar with CARP (ie I've never used it), nor PFSync. My mentality for infrastructure gear (the balancers, not the servers) is always make each device connect to two different switches/routers, and try to make it dynamic in a way that it fits into our OSPF/iBGP design, so if necessary, we can move the entire thing to a different network segment, and not have to renumber. I'm getting a mental picture how I can have load balancing failover with the two devices, and network resiliency by having each balancer connected to different network segments (between buildings over fibre if I want). - do the Postfix/Dovecot servers communicate with each other, or are they simply stand-alone units that don't know/care that they have other peers helping with the workload? They are standalone. All of the user authentication is handled from a centralized database, so there are no local credentials stored on the server. Perfect...do your auth/acct db's generally reside on the same storage mechanism that the data does, in order to keep 'email related stuff' altogether? - are your filter servers in front of, or behind the load balancers (iow, is all of your inbound email passed through the balancers, and then filtered/processed/delivered in behind them)? They are behind the PF boxes. We have other hooks in PF that we use to block SPAM in PF, including Cloudmark and some custom stuff that looks for multiple mails to non-existent addresses. We also use the overload tables for abusive connections. Ok. We have a Barracuda cluster hanging off of one of our Internet facing edge routers, that filters then passes what it allows back into the network, and to the servers. The only reason I don't aggregate all of the mail systems together, is so that I can filter the spam as soon as possible upon ingress to our network, instead of having it traverse the core. - how do all of the pieces communicate with the NAS...NFS? Yes. Originally we used TCP but we found performance to be much better with UDP. NFSv3 by the way. Ok. [ snip ] If you have a particular scenario you're thinking about I could help you with the rules to make it work. I do, and that would be fantastic! I'll draw up a diagram this afternoon of what I envision. Where I'll need a bit of advice will likely be in the details, as opposed to the design, especially if I migrate completely away from our existing mail platform(s). Cheers!

Re: Can lagg0 failback be prevented?
On Wednesday 16 September 2009 20:58:45 Peter Steele wrote: Not really, unless you manually change master. However I believe this also causes a slight or even bigger network outage. Any reason you're not using loadbalance algorithm, since it seems to suit you better? Our resident network guru is quite opposed to using the loadbalancing option since it comes with a lot of potentially undesirable baggage of its own... Then your best option is to patch lagg(4) with an avail algorithm, that prefers $master and sticks with an interface till it's detected down. When done properly the chances are good to get this into base. Another approach would be to change the failover with a 'fader' algorithm, that gradually fades from one nic to the other, kind of like an audio mixer, though I'm not sure if that's possible and would work satisfactory. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Booting ZFS and GPT
2009/9/17 Anselm Strauss amsiba...@gmail.com Hi, I've read and tried out that FreeBSD is able to boot from ZFS directly, also with GPT partitions, through zfsboot and gptzfsboot. When I tried the last time 8-CURRENT it was however not built into the release CD. Will this be included in the final release image?

Unsolicited NFS notification causing panic?
I've been trying to debug a server running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE/amd64 that's hanging intermittently or rebooting without much luck. The machine hosts the home directories for the users over NFS. The workstations that use it are pretty much all Solaris 10 boxes (mostly sparc with five x86 installs), with between two and five Solaris 8 machines. The same machine is also a CUPS print server, which merely takes print requests and forwards them to networked printers. The machine had been running for about three weeks before exhibiting these problems (I had tinkered with using the RARP daemon, but have since reloaded the OS in an attempt to make sure my tinkering hadn't left any lasting damage). The only messages I'm getting from /var/log/messages are like the ones below (the last message sent before the machine went down and rebooted). Sep 17 13:54:32 server rpc.statd: Unsolicited notification from host hostname The machine itself is a Dell PowerEdge 2900, and the HDDs are three 1TB drives in RAID5 (two virtual HDDs). Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Our next test is to do a complete backup of the NFS partition onto a separate machine (different hardware) and test that one with a near-identical setup to screen for hardware problems. --Joseph Lenox ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory (pkgdb -F)
In the last episode (Sep 17), Jeronimo Calvo said: dealing with broken package (virtualbox which is driving me crazy) I am getting the following error everytime i try to deinstall it, to make a clean installation from source: pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory any idea on how to manage to get rid of this error? That is a warning that the packing list included a directory delete request, but there were still files in it. It could be a bug in the plist (not specifying all the files the package installed), or it could be a shared directory that another package installed other files into. Regardless, it's just a warning and the package was deleted. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The package/ports system will not delete files unless it knows they came from a package/port that is being deleted; it will not delete possible user-made files, which is a Good Thing! Apparently some file(s) were left in the directory in question. Have a look at what they are. If they are part of VirtualBox, then the packing list for virtualbox should be updated to include them, so that they will be deleted when virtualbox is removed.

Undelete or recover from badblocks on disks
I seemed to have lost some critical dump files during a restore. The directory in which they were backed up in seemed to vaporize. The data was present as indicated by df -h but the directory was not listed. fsck on the disk was ineffective fsck_ffs produced an extensive listing of bad block, a final SALVAGE option, but on completion, the disk capacity from the df -h was significantly reduced. Is there anyway of recovering even 'partial' data from these lost blocks? The drive has been disconnected so that there would be no 'write' activities?

Virus scanning for Exim mail server
I have been looking on the FreeBSD site and ports for a virus scanner to use with an Exim mail server, without much luck.

Re: Virus scanning for Exim mail server
Hi, Does anyone know of command line virus scanners (open source or commercial) that work with FreeBSD 7.2 and Exim?? Clamav, open source, in the ports, command line and daemon mode. Kaspersky, commercial, command line and daemon mode for the mail server package (something undocumented called aveserver and aveclient). The advantage of a daemon scanner, when used in conjunction with a mail server is that the scanner runs in the background and scans the files that are submited to it, as the scanner is always running, it does not take time loading the virus patterns every time, so there is no start-up over head (few seconds) and the scan is very fast. I think there are others, but these are the one I use. They both integrate fine in amavisd-new (and I beleive amavisd-new works with Exim).

Hi Chris, was fine until the power went out and when it booted back up it said /dev/amrd0s1d: unexpected soft update inconsistency: run fsck manually . the following file system had an inconsistency: ufs: /dev/amrd0s1d (/var) Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh. At this line, you press the RETURN/ENTER key. You will be given a command promt that should be # (or $). At that stage, you are in command mode, you cannot use the mouse, there is no window system, you have to type commands on the keyboard and see the result on the screen. You type the command fsck, it will scan your disks for inconsistencies and prompt you for action. Now it is up to you to give sensible answers to the questions (as I don't know what inconsistencies it will detect, I cannot tell you what to answer for each question). When fsck has finished working, you type the command exit and your machine should finish booting properly.

Well, it's debatable how necessary a special filesystem is for flash media, although recognising the hardware would be nice I guess :-) Do mmc(4)/sdhci(4) not support the controller?
