slightly complex query - one machine with two network interfaces
Hello list, I hope you can help. I have a freebsd 8.0-R machine with a wired and a wireless interface. The wired network has real IP addresses. I want the wireless to talk to the wireless network which is behind a NAT/firewall. The wireless interface on the freebsd box does not want to route traffic (although it would be nice if it could function as a repeater if a wireless laptop was in the vicinity closer to it than the actual access point, but that's another matter). All I want the wireless interface on the freebsd box to do right at this moment is to talk to the other wireless devices. The network is 192.168.0.0/24 Now, if I bring both interfaces up on the freebsd box, routing on that box turns horrible. but the routing table looks normal with 0.0.0.0 traffic going out on the wired re0 interface. I can ping the wireless interface from another computer on the private network, but that's about it. Can anyone give me pointers on how to make the wireless interface more usable? basically, I want to export via either nfs or samba some shares to the wireless network, but routing ropiness seems to kill this. cheers -- John - comp dot john at googlemail dot com OpenBSD firewall | FreeBSD desktop | Ubuntu Karmic laptop GPG: 0xF08A33C5 ___ 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

Can anyone give me pointers on how to make the wireless interface more usable? basically, I want to export via either nfs or samba some shares to the wireless network, but routing ropiness seems to kill this. Hmmm... this isn't a particularly complex setup really. By bringing up your wireless i/f and assigning it an IP and netmask, you should create a route to the directly attached network (192.168.0.0/24) automatically. Given that, you should certainly have the capability to ping other hosts on that network, and they should be able to ping you. If there isn't an entry for 192.168.0.0/24 in the output of % netstat -rn (note: it may be printed as 192.168.0/24) then try something like this: # route add -net 182.168.0.0/24 -interface wlan0 wlan0 should be the correct interface on 8.0-R but other OS versions will probably need to substitute the particular device matching their hardware. If that doesn't work, then please show us some real data: the output from # ifconfig -a # netstat -rn plus any /etc/rc.conf settings relating to ifconfig or wlan. Once you've got the basic networking going, it's downhill from there. You'll need to provide some sort of means of doing name resolution for the wireless network (minimally this means adding entries to /etc/hosts, but it could require fiddling with /etc/resolv.conf or other possibilities). You need to be careful that the source address of packets you send into the wireless lan is the IP number on your wlan interface otherwise hosts on the wlan will send their replies out through the NAT gateway (their default route) instead of straight back to you. By and large this will just work automatically -- there are some software packages where you can override the normal behaviour, but presumably you should know if you've set up anything like that. If you suspect this is a problem, use tcpdump or wireshark to capture and examine the traffic passing across your wlan interface.

Been there, done that. :-) I think this problem is just too complex when updating between major versions, for several reasons. First of all being that the port management tool probably do not know they are updating to a new major version of the system libraries. Sometimes a port will not build correctly when an older version is installed. And there can be special instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING that the upgrade tools can't read. IMO building a tool that can rebuild ports between major versions would be nice but not worth the effort, since it happens so infrequently. Basically had to make delete old libs and files as per the Makefile in /usr/src, then did pkg_delete -a then rm -rf /usr/ports then portsnap, then installed what ports I needed starting off with the monsters like the latest perl and xorg. It seems to me that deleting the entire ports tree is not necessary. That would delete all the distfiles as well. Next time just update it with portsnap, it will save you a lot of downloading. And if you have a spare machine, update that first and then copy /usr/local, /var/db/ports and /var/db/pkg to the other machines with the same hardware architecture. That will save you a lot of time and effort and will result in minimal downtime and risk.

Re: problem with Olympus USB camera on 8.0 RELEASE
2009/11/28 Mike Clarke jmc-freeb...@milibyte.co.uk The camera in question is an Olympus C-2040Z, I've had no problems using it with 6.4. I tried rev. 7 some time ago but plugging the camera in always caused a panic and crash so I stayed with 6.4. Now that 8.0 is out I'd like to move on and the good news is that with 8.0 I can connect the camera without a panic but the bad news is that although the system detects the camera I'm not able to access it.

Sorry: portupgrade -aPPR My opinion is that you shouldn't use packages and compile from source instead. In my experience it's less troublesome and because FreeBSD is so good at multi-tasking it's possible to get on with your work whilst it's doing the building. Packages only if you've got weak hardware and/or limited bandwidth. You do realise that you don't have to upgrade your ports if you go from 7.1 to 7.2. You can do but don't have to. No, I didn't realize that. The FreeBSD Handbook indicates differently. It shouldn't do. You only have to rebuild all your ports if you're going from a major version to another major version e.g 7.* to 8.0 Between minor versions FreeBSD maintains things so it shouldn't be necessary. You should upgrade python25 to python26. See /usr/ports/UPDATING dated 20090608 for instructions on how to do so. Thanks, but that didn't help. So, I have now done a long, painful 'portrupgrade -a', having it stop regularly to prompt me for configuration settings. We'll see what happens when I go to 8. The other guys have pointed out the neato switch to portupgrade so that you do the config beforehand. It's also possible to accept the default configs by putting: BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf IIRC. As to your problems, it could be that your ports tree is out of date.

portmaster upgrade breaks cups-image
8.0R amd64 Part of the upgrade process from 7.2R requires reinstalling all third-party software, such as ports. I use portmaster for this, following the nine-step procedure described in the EXAMPLES section of the manpage. During the upgrade, cups-image fails with the error shown below. A temporary workaround is to disable CUPS support in ghostscript8 and samba3, but I might want to use this box as a print server in the future. Thanks in advance for clues on fixing this error.

FreeBSD 8.0 system setup with ZFS steps
Greetings, I created the following guide when I was trying out ZFS in VirtualBox on my windows machine. I created 5 hard drives: 1 to represent a flash drive to boot off of, 4 to represent the large hard drives I would be using in raid. It seemed to work to get a running system, but wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid or missing a good step. FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS *Setup Use a 2gig Flash device. 1 gig is enough space though. 512M will be tight. Collect the 4 other SATA drives. *Start FreeBSD normal install. Select the flash device as the device to install to. Use the entire device Install the bootMgr Create a single slice taking up the entire device, mount to / Select distribution minimal Run install Normal post install answers Reboot *Activate ZFS (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html) Follow instructions for RaidZ Be sure to add the instructions for daily raid mails *Create mount points in pool home local obj ports src var share tmp *One at a time, copy existing data from / to new mount points. Instructions are in the link above *Reboot (make sure nothing is broken) *Swap zfs create -V 4g storage/swap geli onetime -s 4096 /dev/zvol/storage/swap (encryption, might not be needed) swapon /dev/zvol/storage/swap.eli *pkg_add -r bash *Add users *Normal setup at this point. /copy My goal is to not burn out the flash drive with a bunch of writes, so it should primarily be read only, with the occasional edit to a config file or installworld. I tried putting /etc in a ZFS pool to take advantage of snapshots and such, but the machine couldn't find the boot drive as that information is stored in /etc and ZFS is not loaded at that point. Am I doing something stupid that may burn out the flash drive or cause the system to be rather slow?

mysterious try process dumping core on 7.2-RELEASE ... worried ...

However, it doesn't match my experience exactly, and I don't really have the FreeBSD background to compensate (long time Linux user, and never very hardware focused at all), so here are some starting questions (Note I am in the Fixit shell from the livefs CD): 1. Is gpart the same as gpt? 2. How can I lose the GPT? When I run # gpart destory ad5 I get gpart: Device busy. I presume that it is because / is mounted to run the livefs CD. So ... 3. Umm, what do I do now If I run gpart show ad5 I get a bunch of stuff which I would have to type in manually -- let me know which pieces are important and I will do it.

I believe this is generated by autoconf as one of its tests of OS behaviour. As such it's harmless.

ZFSROOT / Custom Kernels [or upgrades]
Hi All, 1) I followed this wiki link to setup our server [sigyn.apache.org] (Dell r710 with 4 disks mfid[0123] as raidz2) http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ2 Rebooted all was well. 2) off on another 'build' box [loki.apache.org], I had compiled release/8.0.0 userland+kernel [with LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes]. Whats the ETA for MFC from trunk-stable/8 for http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=199714 ** FWIW, loki is working nicely on 8.0-RELEASE geom+zfs. 3) I nfs mounted /usr/src, and /usr/obj on sigyn from loki. $ cd /usr/src $ sudo make installkernel KERNCONF=SIGYN It fails to mount from zfs:zroot upon reboot. Via great hoops and magic I got back into the fixit on remote console. I didn't see a loader.old or a zfsboot. So I repeated the steps in wiki to install zfsboot. Rebooted, same diff. Jumped backed to fixit and reverted the kernel to a stock GENERIC that worked the 1st time. Same error again. cd /boot $ mv kernel kernel.cust $ mv kernel.old kernel So assuming you are lucky enough to get a zfsroot system. Is there an actual upgrade path ? Am I missing something stupid ? Any help greatly appreciated. I have a few days to play with this machine before we forgoe zfsroot and drop back to geom gmirror. I'm at a datacenter for $work on Monday/Tuesday so I'll be spare over tonight. -- 1024D/DB9B8C1C B90B FBC3 A3A1 C71A 8E70 3F8C 75B8 8FFB DB9B 8C1C Philip M.

Re: FreeBSD 8.0 system setup with ZFS steps
Pease allow me a terminology note: On Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:30:57 -0800, Derrick Ryalls ryal...@gmail.com wrote: *Start FreeBSD normal install. Select the flash device as the device to install to. Use the entire device This step creates a slice covering the whole disk. Make sure that the slice is marked active when it should be the booting slice. Install the bootMgr Only needed if you want to dual-boot something. In normal cases, writing the standard MBR is completely sufficient, because it only boots to FreeBSD. Create a single slice taking up the entire device, mount to / A single partition - you've already created a slice. Terminology comparison from Windows land: A SLICE is a DOS primary partition, and a PARTITION is comparable to a logical volume inside an extended DOS partition. Partitions are the subdivisions of a slice holding a file system. *pkg_add -r bash Really? :-) Am I doing something stupid that may burn out the flash drive or cause the system to be rather slow? Not that I see it. You could make sure that any mount options refering to the UFS / on the flash drive are honoring the fact that writes should be minimized, such as the noatime option. This shouldn't have negative effects on the booting process or the FreeBSD system running on it. -- 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
