'make release' on ZFS filesystem fails: chflags: operation not permitted
I followed the steps making a release on FreeBSD 8.0-RC2/AMD64 on my box, the target CHROOTDIR is located on a ZFS volume. I searched the list for a solution, but did not find any. sysctl kern.securelevel shows kern.securelevel: -1 Is there any solution? I guess those with complete ZFS infrastructure will not be able performing a make release, or do they?

SLIM and XFCE4
Hi all, I want to use SLIM (Graphical login manager for X11) with XFCE4.

Re: am I the only one, wrt gcc44 -- it is failing and I can't build octave or much else
I'm sorry fellows. You guys have given me great support and apparently I didn't get back to you. I'm sorry, I'm not very polite some times. I will try to be more careful about this. Okay -- I was able to get my mouse working. I made a ServerFlags section in my xorg.conf and suddenly!, my mouse moved. (Here you can assume a remark not in evidence...) Next, I have wonderful X sessions now. Next, I am prepared to nuke the /usr/ports area if I am told to do that -- I know it can be mechanically rebuilt in about an hour. (A past note from Kenneth gave me this instruction and while I was a little nervous I did it; And wow!, I was so impressed as I watched it come back.) Question: Does the rebuild process examine the pkg_info results and load up the directory appropriately?. or is it one size fits all? Question: Does anyone have a solution for doing a general machine backup to one file? So that I can back the machine up and later, subsequently, perform a simple restore. Because I've been using the machine very heavily now, and I usually find that my own manual backups miss one thing or another... You've probably had the same experience. Now, I see others asking for such a feature/mechanism. What's possible? As for gcc44, I am fairly certain that it's actually broken -- that the port itself is broken and that it isn't my incompetence, that the port itself is mis-configured or mis-coded. Oh., and in a conversation with an HP technical representative recently, he told me that my taking down windoz to install FreeBSD constituted a machine downgrade.

ZFS disk replacement questions
Hello list, I plan on rebuilding my home fileserver next month with FreeBSD 8.0 x64 and will be using 4x 2TB drives in an external eSATA hotswap enclosure using RAIDZ. I have played around with FreeBSD in VirtualBox just to see how easy it is to deal with ZFS, but a few questions have come up for this configuration. 1) In the event of a disk failure, how do I trace back the name such as adX to a physical drive in the enclosure? Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? 2) In the event that I do experience a failure and manage to replace a working disk instead of the failed disk, am I now completely hosed or can I put the working disk back in and try pulling another drive which is hopefully the bad drive? 3) Finally, does the extra load of resilvering the replaced drive 'age' the good drives causing them to fail quicker? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ___ 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

Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? In my opinion you are best off using glabel(8) to give names to the disks. This way you can name them in a way that makes sense to you. Additionally, when you create the ZFS pool you will use the glabel'd names. This means that the pool will still come up properly if something causes your devices to be numbered differently (i.e. a drive dies and you happen to reboot the system). I believe ZFS does this automatically. Supposedly, if you take a working set of RAIDZ drives from one machine and put it in another, ZFS will figure out the drives since they get labelled by ZFS internally. My question concerns how to identify the physical disk in question based on the adX or glabel name? Different name in software is fine, but if the drive fails I want to make sure I pull the correct drive. This is possible, but I don't remember reading that ZFS handles this anywhere, and I've seen glabel(8) recommended elsewhere for the same reason. Either way, you can add your drives one-by-one and label them on the enclosure arraydrive00 and then glabel the individual disks with the same name. This way when ZFS tells you arraydrive03 is dead/offline, you can look at your enclosure and pull the drive with the arraydrive03 label. Depending on your controller it is also probably worth it to use one of the SATA-specific drivers in FreeBSD 8 - these are ones like ahci(4) and siis(4). While the generic ata(4) driver will work for pretty much everything, the updated AHCI drivers can take advantage of some more features. Enable the modules at boot to use them. I will look into it, thanks. The machine in question is 2 year old hardware currently with a 3ware raid card. I will be going software raid only, but FreeBSD already recognizes the eSATA drive I have attached as a backup device so I know the O/S can at least talk to sata drives attached to the mobo. ___ 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: system() call causes core dump

In UNIX it is not safe to perform arbitrary actions after forking a
multi-threaded process. You're basically expected to call exec soon
after the fork, although you can do certain other work if you are very
careful.
The reason for this is that after the fork, only one thread will be
running in the child, and if that thread tries to acquire a lock or other
formerly-shared resource it may deadlock or crash, because the child
process is no longer accessing the same memory location as the threads in
the parent process (it gets a separate copy of the address space at the
time of fork, which may not be in a consistent state from the point of
view of the thread library).
I am not calling fork explicitly. The thread I'm running in was created
with pthread_create(). The fork() in the stack trace in my original email
is being called by the system() function as it spawns off the process it
is supposed want to run. Is there a safe way to call system() within a
pthread?

Re: am I the only one, wrt gcc44 -- it is failing and I can't build octave or much else
I believe ports and packages to be 2 separate items. pkg_info hasto do with what packages you have installed. The ports system has to = do with creating the packages.

7.x on Dell R900?
Hello List, I cannot find any fresh information on compatibility of Dell PowerEdge R900 and FreeBSD after googling for several hours, so I decided to ask here. If this is not the right place, please redirect me to. All of our servers run FreeBSD with one exception - a CentOS machine, which adds to the overall maintenance workload and keeping up to date. Back in the day, after getting the R900 (without prior OS compatibility research), the word was that FreeBSD will not run on this hardware and we ended up installing CentOS. That was well over a year ago and I am wondering if anyone could share some insight into the current compatibility status, installation/operation pitfalls and any other tips that would allow me to get away from Linux on this R900 box and create a homogeneous server-space environment with FreeBSD 7.x. Here are some basic specs, I can provide more details if needed: 4 x 4-core 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon CPU's 32GB RAM LSILogic PERC 4e/Di Firmware 516A, BIOS H418, 256MB RAM PERC 6/i Rev: 1.11 Any creative help will be appreciated.

Re: ZFS disk replacement questions
On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:21 AM, Steve Polyack kor...@comcast.net wrote: Derrick Ryalls wrote: 1) In the event of a disk failure, how do I trace back the name such as adX to a physical drive in the enclosure? Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? In my opinion you are best off using glabel(8) to give names to the disks. This way you can name them in a way that makes sense to you. Additionally, when you create the ZFS pool you will use the glabel'd names. This means that the pool will still come up properly if something causes your devices to be numbered differently (i.e. a drive dies and you happen to reboot the system). I believe ZFS does this automatically. Supposedly, if you take a working set of RAIDZ drives from one machine and put it in another, ZFS will figure out the drives since they get labelled by ZFS internally. My question concerns how to identify the physical disk in question based on the adX or glabel name? Different name in software is fine, but if the drive fails I want to make sure I pull the correct drive. Depending on your controller it is also probably worth it to use one of the SATA-specific drivers in FreeBSD 8 - these are ones like ahci(4) and siis(4). While the generic ata(4) driver will work for pretty much everything, the updated AHCI drivers can take advantage of some more features. Enable the modules at boot to use them. I will look into it, thanks. The machine in question is 2 year old hardware currently with a 3ware raid card. I will be going software raid only, but FreeBSD already recognizes the eSATA drive I have attached as a backup device so I know the O/S can at least talk to sata drives attached to the mobo.

linux-firefox
Hi, I have ran into a problem that I haven't encountered yet. I'm in process of reinstalling BSD after a hardware failure. I was using www/linux-firefox-devel at first because I wanted verision 3. After discouving www/linux-firefox has been changed from 2 to 3, I uninstalled the devel version and replaced it with linux-firefox. The devel version did worked. However when I type linux-firefox in xterm, nothing happens. It doesn't start and I receive no error messages. Now what do I do? I am using kernal 7.1, linprocfs is mounted, all of the listed dependences are meet and the ports tree is the most current version. I would try www/firefox35 but I am plugin happy. Thank you for help.

7.x on Dell R900?
Hello List, I cannot find any fresh information on compatibility of Dell PowerEdge R900 and FreeBSD after googling for several hours, so I decided to ask here. If this is not the right place, please redirect me to. All of our servers run FreeBSD with one exception - a CentOS machine, which adds to the overall maintenance workload and keeping up to date. Back in the day, after getting the R900 (without prior OS compatibility research), the word was that FreeBSD will not run on this hardware and we ended up installing CentOS. That was well over a year ago and I am wondering if anyone could share some insight into the current compatibility status, installation/operation pitfalls and any other tips that would allow me to get away from Linux on this R900 box and create a homogeneous server-space environment with FreeBSD 7.x. Here are some basic specs, I can provide more details if needed: 4 x 4-core 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon CPU's 32GB RAM LSILogic PERC 4e/Di Firmware 516A, BIOS H418, 256MB RAM PERC 6/i Rev: 1.11 Any creative help will be appreciated.

Re: Rebuild instructions for amd64 systems
Hi Richard, Kernel recompilation part of the handbook is fairly straightforward and should walk you through step-by-step without any snags: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Just remember to use amd64 instead i386 in the examples @ the link above. You will need full source tree to play with kernel (sysinstall to the rescue if you don't). Disclaimer - the below worked for me multiple times and may or may not work for you. If you decide to follow the steps outlined below and it breaks your box, spills your coffee or converts the datacenter into a recycling center, you are responsible for it and I cannot be held accountable in any way. In other words - use at your own risk. The way I do it (6.0-RELEASE) - at this point you must be root: cd mkdir kernels cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf cp GENERIC ~/kernels/GENERIC.ORIG cp GENERIC NEWKERNEL vim NEWKERNEL, search for ident GENERIC and change to NEWKERNEL then, add the following line below all other 'options' lines: options PAE # large memory (4G) support then, find and comment out these two lines to avoid a conflict with PAE: device adv # Advansys SCSI adapters device adw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters I am not sure about the Advansys conflict in versions newer than 6.0. A total of 4 lines to edit on of my stock 6.0-RELEASE GENERIC kernel. Then: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL if compiles, install: make installkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL once that's done, reboot and you should see your new kernel Here's a diff from my 6.0: [r...@banksy /usr/src/sys/i386/conf]# diff BANKSYPAE GENERIC 25c25 ident BANKSYPAE --- ident GENERIC 65c65 optionsPAE # 2006-12-12 Large memory support ma...@bmihosting.com --- 96,97c96,97 # conflicts with PAE deviceadv # Advansys SCSI adapters # conflicts with PAE deviceadw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters --- device adv # Advansys SCSI adapters device adw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters Good luck.

I have been trying to determine the correct procedures for rebuilding the world and kernel. I have not been able to find a location that had step by step instructions, similar to the handbook, for properly working with the amd64 version.

8.0RC custom kernel not installing?
I compiled a custom kernel with ZFS enabled and installed it. Everything appeared to work fine, then I realized that I needed to make some more modifications (ALTQ, disabling ulpt). I made those configuration changes to the existing ZFS kernel config. After running make buildkernel kernconf=ZFS and make installkernel kernconf=ZFS (ZFS is the name of the kernel config file) I rebooted the machine but didn't see any change in the system config. I've also made sure I did the build/install as root. I doubled-checked the config in the kernel directory, the config is properly done.

cheers, Ian
Here is this information:
FreeBSD-8.0-RC2
i386 or amd64? It matters, which is why we ask for uname -a .. obscure
your hostname etc if needed. Some Atom models (230 and 330, I read)
have feature 'LM' and so can run amd64; others don't and must run i386.
Laptop is Lenovo S10-2, single CPU, Intel Atom.
But with hyperthreading enabled or not? How many CPUs launched (dmesg)?
Again, it matters. As I understand it, on 8.0 amd64 SMP suspend/resume
(S3) should work, i386 SMP is currently broken, i386 non-SMP should
(still) work, but I'm really not sure about the Atoms.
head -50 /var/run/dmesg.boot (or so) should clear this up. We don't
need the whole thing, but show anything to do with ACPI and CPU(s).
--- sysctl hw.acpi output ---
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
hw.acpi.standby_state: NONE
hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3
hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1
hw.acpi.s4bios: 0
So, hibernate won't work. There was talk of someone doing that for a
Google SoC project but I've heard no more about it for a long while.
hw.acpi.verbose: 0
hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0
hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 0
hw.acpi.reset_video: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10
hw.acpi.thermal.user_override: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 43.0C
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling: 0
Slightly surprising, but again I know nothing about Atom BIOSes.
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 102.0C
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC1: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TC2: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._TSP: 300
hw.acpi.battery.life: -1
hw.acpi.battery.time: -1
hw.acpi.battery.state: 7
hw.acpi.battery.units: 1
hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5
hw.acpi.acline: 1
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1
If this is either i386 uniprocessor or amd64 SMP, suspend/resume should
work, though possibly needing some settings tweaked and/or some modules
unloaded/reloaded in /etc/rc.{suspend,resume} to do so successfully.
If so, I'd next try the freebsd-mobile@ list where several people who
should be able to advise on this tend to hang out. If not, you may be
out of luck at this stage.
cheers, Ian
