Problem regarding free BSD
Hello,Respected Sir/Madam,Actually i tried to install free BSD on my system, I have 1 TB hard disk of 500GB X 2 in which i made a partition in one of my hard disk which even contains some data. Unfortunately i lost all my data, as i think but its truly very important for me. As after the completion of the installation part when i tried to boot into it, i was unable to do so, now i installed Windows XP into my system and tried to access the other hard disk but still i can't. As when i installed BSD in other partition why i am not able to access the other drive in the same hard drive. Please help me how can i recover my data.Thank You,Abhilash Shukla.Dear questi...@freebsd.org !

How about you try simple: ntpdate the_windows_server and see what that does? After that look in /var/log/messages. In fact I am still quite convinced that the MS implementation isn't totally compliant with the client... Could be, but ntpq was showing that your ntpd was accepting time data from the Windows server at least on some level. Alternatively, from the commandline try ntpd -g -q -c /etc/ntp.conf The -g flag allows ntpd to set the clock once regardless of the offset and the -q causes it to quit after setting the time. In /etc/rc.conf, all you should need is ntpd_enable=YES ntpd_sync_on_start=YES The second option adds -g to the ntpd flags, allowing it to set the clock at startup and continue running.

As far as I understand, the data on the partition you put freeBSD on is gone. You should have noticed the warning during install that warned of this. Concerning XP and looking at other partitions, (as far as I understand) you should install XP first and then install freeBSD with a bootloader that will allow you (easier) access to all of the OS's. MS doesn't like to share disk space. Perhaps I misunderstood your situation concerning the loss of data. If so, there is open source data recovery software out there.

Re: No serial console input in loader
Hi, I have to come back to this problem. When I boot over the serial console, input works all fine until I come to the loader menu. There, input from the serial console is just ignored, I can not interrupt the autoboot and e.g. choose a different kernel. I have partitioned with GPT and installed /boot/pmbr into the MBR and /boot/gptboot into the first partition of type freebsd-boot. The keyboard works in the BIOS, and in gptboot I think, where I can interrupt the boot by pressing a key, and a list like this shows: FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0p2)/boot/loader boot: Then, in the loader menu the input is dead, when the kernel boots and also afterwards it works again fine. When I use GRUB to start the loader the keyboard also works. Any ideas on what the problem could be or how to track this down? Cheers Anselm On Jun 28, 2008, at 13:15 , Anselm Strauss wrote: Hi, I have a small router that has no video output, it only supports a serial console. I configured the serial console in /boot/ boot.config, /boot/loader.conf and /etc/ttys. It's working in the BIOS, on the boot prompt before the loader starts, and when logging in on the getty. The only place where it's not working correctly is at the loader prompt. I can see the loader menu and the logo, but I can't choose the boot entry or interrupt the timeout. I can't make any input at all. What could this be? Cheers, Anselm Don't know what this was, but now it works. I use Grub to directly load /boot/loader as kernel. I set the serial console in the BIOS to 115200 Baud. In Grub's menu.lst I then use: serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 terminal serial and in /boot/loader.conf: console=comconsole comconsole_speed=115200 Seems like this is all that is needed.

clone-dump-restore
Gentlemen, I have not had a chance to thank you for your very helpful suggestions. I have tried to follow them as well as possible and I cerainly am grateful for your input. It has taken me some time to prepare for a cloning of an existing 7.2 sytem. Now that I have everything running smoothly with all the proggies configurations the way I want them, I tried (notice - tried) to clone the system. Here's the setup: FBSD 7.2 on ad4 and same on ad12. First, running on ad4, I tried to dump restore each partition directly: ad12s1a to da0s1a (usb sata disk). No go. I had set it up originally with livefs, minimal; then redid it all with fdisk, bsdlabel and nwfs; then dump -0af - /dev/ad12s1a | restore -rf - /dev/da0s1a --- got error messages about not being a tape device. Great. Next, I tried with another usb/sata disk on da0... dumped to files (dump went w/out problems) ... mounted da0 partitions 1 x 1 to /mnt, cd'd to /mnt and did restore -rf file. Only the ad12s1f(usr) restore gave long list of unable to create file or link or something like that. When I then installed the restored disk to another computer (identical except for CPU (3gb instead of 2.4gb), booted from the restored disk and saw that it was trying to boot from ad12s1a which doesn't exist on the new machine. uh...oh... Somehow I think I may not have understood something. Perhaps I should install the disk directly in the dump/restore machine and try again. Oh, yes, another sign from the gods... when restoring to a partition just newfsed there is a warning that .snap is already installed... now what on earth or moon is that? I will try again... and try to document more clearly... :-( TIA ___ 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

Now that I have everything running smoothly with all the proggies configurations the way I want them, I tried (notice - tried) to clone the system. Here's the setup: FBSD 7.2 on ad4 and same on ad12. I do assume that the system on ad6 is your source system, and ad12 should then be the same by the means of cloning? In later lines, you're dumping to a da device (not ad). Do you already have two FreeBSD source systems set up? First, running on ad4, I tried to dump restore each partition directly: ad12s1a to da0s1a (usb sata disk). No go. It would be good to see the command that you issued to do so, including the currend working directory. I had set it up originally with livefs, minimal; then redid it all with fdisk, bsdlabel and nwfs; There's no need to do the slicing and partitioning twice. then dump -0af - /dev/ad12s1a | restore -rf - /dev/da0s1a The command does not look okay. Keep in mind that a) ad0s1a is mounted, b) you need to be in the mounted / of da0 and c) ad1s2a is mounted ro. You can forget about c) if you're dumping | restoring from a live file CD or DVD. In this case, ad12s1a isn't mounted, which is good. You should end up with a setting like this: # mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt # cd /mnt # dump -0 -f - /dev/ad12s1a | restore -r -f - See the difference? The restore command does NOT require a device name, because the point where to restore is the current working directory, as indicated by the previous cd command. --- got error messages about not being a tape device. Great. Looks like incorrect command... see above. Next, I tried with another usb/sata disk on da0... dumped to files (dump went w/out problems) ... mounted da0 partitions 1 x 1 to /mnt, cd'd to /mnt and did restore -rf file. Only the ad12s1f(usr) restore gave long list of unable to create file or link or something like that. Again, the complete command (including pwd) would have been helpful, so I can only guess. I assume you dumped /usr into a file on a usb disk (da). In order to restore this file to a partition you created on another disk, let's say ad6 (ATTENTION, EXAMPLE!), the command to do so would be: # mount /dev/da0 /mnt # mkdir /mnt2 # mount /dev/ad6s1e /mnt2 # cd /mnt2 # restore -r -f /mnt/usr.dump Keep in mind that (in difference to my previous example) /mnt now refers to the /usr partition, not to /. This of course assumes that you've already sliced and partitioned ad6. It includes formatting (newfs), obviously. When I then installed the restored disk to another computer (identical except for CPU (3gb instead of 2.4gb), booted from the restored disk and saw that it was trying to boot from ad12s1a which doesn't exist on the new machine. uh...oh... The boot loader tries to boot the first ATA disk. This has been discussed in the questions@ list few days ago. Somehow I think I may not have understood something. I'm sure about this. Re-read the examples above and you'll notice easily how the dump and especially the restore command have to be invoked for proper operations. Perhaps I should install the disk directly in the dump/restore machine and try again. This is possible, but as long as you're using an USB transfer disk which gets its content as data files (.dump files) from the ATA disk (source disk), and which are then restored to another ATA disk (target disk), there shouldn't be a problem. Because I'm a lazy guy, I mostly use a live file system (FreeBSD live fs is completely okay, but FreeSBIE is good, too) in order to run the sysinstall program which I use to slice, partition and format the target disk as intended. I then use a USB stick or a USB disk to make the dump files available (previous example) and restore them to the target disk. Note that things like the boot loader are now independent of my dumps as they get written by sysinstall. Oh, yes, another sign from the gods... when restoring to a partition just newfsed there is a warning that .snap is already installed... now what on earth or moon is that? The .snap directory is used for file system snapshot. As far as I remember, newfs creates this directory, or maybe it's fsck at its first run? Don't mind, it's not important (until you need it for data recovery). I will try again... and try to document more clearly... :-( Yes, please.

Not entirely. Let me give this little cheat sheet: # dump -0 -a -f dumpfile source-device if dumpfile is -, then write to standard output # cd target-directory # restore -r -f dumpfile if dumpfile is -, then read to standard input and combined: # cd target-directory # dump -0 -a -f - source-device | restore -r -f - A common command line parametron for dump -0Lauf (Lauf means (the) run or imperative run! in German, so it's easy to remember, Null-Lauf! or Zero Lauf). Check the manpage at man dump for the meaning of the different options which are often used for some welcome side effects. And now: Lauf! Lauf! Lauf! :-) It's the stdout and stdin that makes me stumble. It's quite easy if you recognize what stdin and stdout are. One program (dump) outputs to stdout, the | (pipe) method redirects this stdout of one program to another program to which it is the stdin, so this other program (restore) reads the stdin. Do I really need to mount the partitions or can I just dump and restore from device to device directly? No. For direct full device operations, you would need dd. The reason is that dump reads from a partition. This partition should be unmounted, but may be mounted if you specify -L in order to tell dump that it will dump a live file system and should therefore create a snapshot, because it simply cannot dump data that is constantly changing. The restore program reads dump files and creates directories and files (with all the stuff like owner:group, permissions and flags), so it has to operate on a mounted file system. That's why the rule: source not mounted or -L, destination mounted and writable (and empty). The dd program operates on blocks of variable size. It has no concept of files and directories. It should not be used on mounted partitions. Unlike dump | restore, dd allows you to duplicate disks fulwise, this means you don't even have to care for slices and partitions. This method is very often used in forensic settings where you need to duplicate a whole disk. But you can, if needed, just dd a whole (at file level defective) partition, as I had to do. The dd program does not care for such problems. There are extended dd variants that can cope with massive reading errors if the source drive is already physically failing. The manual says I should be able to dump restore across the lan too... Yes, that's easy. For example, you can use ssh to connect to another machine where you get the dump files from. The handbook even lists an example, if I remember correctly. In such a setting, you usually prepare the target (slice, partition, format), mount it, connect to the backup server and let restore take the dump files from there. This process can even be scripted, so you simply put a CD or an USB stick into a new computer and let it rock automatically. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
FBSD 7.2, on a CQ60-419WM Presario, about headphones, function keys, FVWM fonts, and GBDE
How do I get to use the headphones? The speaker works but continues to play when I plug in headphones. Also adjusting the keyboard function controls to control the sound, (o anything else,) does nothing -- what is with this? Last, how do I change the font size with FVWM? As you can see I am new to a lot of things. I develop and sometimes I'd like to use headphones and gasp!, put up a DVD movie. Using mplayer. I made sound work. Hey, for me that was big.

Re: restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
2009/10/14 Tim Judd taj...@gmail.com: My suggestion is to check the VM config and see if you can emulate an IDE ad(4) device instead of the possible SCSI da(4) device that vmware/virtualbox may setup. I'm almost positive (not 100% because I don't have either one of those installed at the moment) that both those products default to a SCSI device. Both are capable of emulating IDE, and both can offer something that FreeBSD uses the da driver for (SATA for Vbox, SCSI for Vmware). I've tested with both ad and da drives on both solutions. Creating a dump image fresh in a VM gives me a file I can restore from and boot successfully in VMs. I haven't tested physical machines yet -- if I can boot physical machines off this new dump file my problems are solved. If not... At this point it seems simplest to produce a few different versions of my dump image. Chances there's just something different in the first few sectors of the disk, but having a single dump image and multiple first sectors for the image seems more complex overall.

Best procedure for full backup of live system
My server is increasingly having important work stored on it, and I need to start taking backups of a lot of directories, especially /home, /opt, /etc, /usr/local/etc, and maybe others. The ideal backup (and what I've done in the past) is to take a full low-level dd image of the disk while the system is down (this is easy to do in a situation where you have dual boot). Or, since the output of dd would take up tons of space and would only be usable on an identical hard drive, use dump to take the backup while the machine is turned off (again easy to do on a dual boot). But now, I cannot bring down the machine. My plan is to do a tar gzip of / on the fly, and pipe that to ssh (remote machine). However, the system is live, and files will be in the progress of changing. My question is, what is the recommended procedure of taking a full backup on a live system? Ideally, if my hard drive were to crash, I would like to have such a backup so as to make it possible to copy over the entire backup to a new identical harddrive without doing any reinstall or configuration. Should I use tar/gzip? dump? What exact command should I use? I guess I'll back up all of / including system files, because there is not too much data. I will be piping the output to ssh. ___ 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
