Re: PHP upgrade fails

Re: Zpool import failure, metadata checksum fails 8.0-RELEASE
Update -- Updated to 8.0-STABLE (tagged 8.1-PRERELEASE), zpool is sitting at tx-tx state (according to top). The root cause of this was apparently an enabled write cache on the sata controller (an adaptec model, can handle its own RAID5)+inopportune power failure; I've disabled it going forward. I've done some searching through the 'net and haven't found any useful info for this type of situation--apparently Solaris just flags the pool as having soft errors and the user is expected to move on from there. As far as I can tell, the pool MUST be imported to perform any other kind of operation on it--you can't even destroy the pool. I don't know if recreating the pool from the underlying system destroys the data. I'm going to leave it for 24 hours and double check to make sure the process is truly stuck (although I'm pretty sure it is). The current system install is a rebuild on different media--I do have the original HDD with the OS install on it, but any attempts to access the pool on that drive gives the same symptoms. --Joseph Lenox Command: /sbin/zpool import -p failmode=panic -f valkyrie PID username THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND root 1 44 015668K 1936K tx-tx 1 0:00 0.00% zpool /var/log/messages excerpt: May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd3 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd1 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd5 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd0 offset=494926778880 size=512 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd2 offset=494926778880 size=512 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd0 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd2 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd1 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:31 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd3 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=129568120320 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd5 offset=129568120320 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=289968832000 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd5 offset=289968832000 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd0 offset=289968832512 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd2 offset=289968832512 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd1 offset=289968832512 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd3 offset=289968832512 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd3 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd1 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd5 offset=494926778368 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd0 offset=494926778880 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd2 offset=494926778880 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd0 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd2 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd1 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd3 offset=129568120320 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=129568120320 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd5 offset=129568120320 size=512 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch, zpool=valkyrie path=/dev/aacd4 offset=289968832000 size=1024 May 21 00:58:32 silmeria root: ZFS: checksum mismatch,

Re: File system
gjournal will replay all write attempts (metadata and data) before the failure, so you should be relatively sure that all writes are done correctly. As I understand it journals work by writing to disk a log of all the changes that have to be made - waits for confirmation that it wrote the data - and then attempts to make those changes. If after the confirmation there is a crash the log file is replayed. Certain virtual machines will report to the OS that it wrote the data to disk before it actually does so. In that case journaling doesn't actually help as the log file is still not on some form of stable storage. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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
phpmyadmin apache22

All the make config defaults should be changed to off so the pkg is usable. If you don't want phpMyAdmin to have its full capabilities enabled, then use the OPTIONS mechanism in the port to turn off the bits you don't want. Or define 'WITHOUT_PHP_DEPENDS' in /etc/make.conf which lets you install phpMyAdmin without *any* dependency on PHP. As the process of installing phpMyAdmin consists almost entirely of copying php files into place, there's no real advantage to using a pkg over using the port or vice versa.

Re: PHP upgrade fails
Hello, it is always a good advice to check /usr/ports/UPDATING before you start upgrading anything, there is a manual in how to upgrade php to version 5.3 without problems (as far your application runs with 5.3). Absolutely so! I wish I had done that. I still have a strange problem. PHP seems almost fine at the moment. Sites are working to some extent at least. But I need to add one php extension so I went to /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions, followed by make config.

HM55
I'm posting about this issue again now that I know more about what I'm talking about. My ASUS notebook has integrated Intel HD graphics in the HM55 chipset. The intel driver for Xorg does not recognize it. I have tried hacking the device ID (0x0046) into the various supplied Intel drivers, with no luck. Is anyone working on supporting this chipset? How can I help? I haven't written a device driver in more than 20 years, but I'd be willing to try if someone can point me in the right direction. As it stands, I have to use the vesa driver, which doesn't make good use of my screen real estate.

You mean /etc/rc.conf? Usually not. The /etc/fstab file is where you can add a default mountpoint and mount options for the USB stick. Usually, the device used to access USB sticks is /dev/da (Direct Access), and I think it will be /dev/da0. Check the output of dmesg or the last lines in the system log which will reveal the correct device. FAT file systems correspond to a slice on the device, /dev/da0s1 for example. You can mount this device. If it is your first time, play with it, e. g. # mount_msdosfs -o ro /dev/da0s1 /mnt # ls /mnt Is the intended content there? Good. # umount /mnt Now add a rule to your file system table, making mount attempts more easy. /dev/da0s1 /media/stick msdosfs rw,noauto,noatime 0 0 This could be a valid entry, depending on the existance of the directory. Keep in mind: In order to mount USB sticks as a user you need sufficient permissions to the involved files, as well as to own the mount directory, and finally have vfs.usermount=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. In case you mount as root (or prefix the mount command with sudo, ur use the system's su), you don't need to pay this attention. You should also read man mount_msdosfs and see if you want to use -m and -M: The old-fashioned FAT file systems don't know file permissions, so files on the USB stick will have the +x attribute, pretending they were executables (which they usually aren't); -m and -M apply masks to cut away this mis-information. It can also be possible that you need the large option -o large. Feel free to also read this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mount-unmount.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/usb-disks.html In any case, keep an eye on umounting the USB stick before removing it. PCs are bad at hot plug operations. :-) build a driver or utility? This is FreeBSD, not Windows. :-) or what? Or nothing. :-) If you want nothing, KDE and Gnome (and Xfce, too) allow the use of automounting USB devices (if sufficient permissions allow this), through the means of HAL, DBUS and PolicyKit.

You can mount it as root without having to do anything special. Plug in the USB stick, and watch dmesg output to see which device appears. Say you see a device 'da0' appear. Then look in /dev/ to see if there are any slices on it; 'ls /dev/da0*'. You'll probably see one slice, e.g. /dev/da0s1. Then use mount_msdosfs(8) to mount it somewhere. If you want to mount as a regular user, things are somewhat more involved. First, you have to set the sysctl 'vfs.urermount=1'. This has to be done as root, of course. Then you have to make sure that the user in question has read/write access to the devices. Generally, I do that by creating a group called 'usb' with the pw(8) utility, and making users that need access to USB devices a member of that group. Then I add some lines to /etc/devfs.rules to make the usb and related devices accessible to that group; [my_rules=10] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'msdosfs/*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group usb The latter two lines are to make e.g. digital cameras and scanners accessible. This ruleset has to be activated in /etc/rc.conf; devfs_system_ruleset=my_rules You'll need to reboot the system or restart devfs for this to take effect. With these adaptations, you can mount USB drives as a normal user.

For one thing, your user-id, or a group you belong to needs to have read/write access to the relevant CD device. My solution is to create a group called 'cdrom', and add my user-id to that group. Both is accomplished with pw(8). I have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf: # Give members of group cdrom access to the CD/DVD-ROM and DVD+RW via the # SCSI interface own xpt0root:cdrom permxpt00660 own cd0 root:cdrom permcd0 0660 own cd1 root:cdrom permcd1 0660 linkcd1 cdrom linkcd1 dvd Since my user-id is a member of the cdrom group, I can use these devices freely. If you are using the standard 'atapicd' driver instead of the SCSI emulation 'cd' driver your CD device might be acdX instead of cdX. I prefer to use the SCSI emulation, since cdrecord (which is required by k3b, I think) likes talking to SCSI devices, but not ATA. I've built a custom kernel that only has the cd device and not atapicd, so there cannot be a conflict between the two. I don't know what happens on a GENERIC kernel that has both devices. Maybe there is a tunable that determines which device driver gets access? To produce sound you need to to load the appropriate sound driver. See sound(4). Additionally, I like to start a sound server like esd (audio/esound port). Audacious can use that for output.

There may be problems with stateful connection tracking between your terminal and the remote shell :-/ No, I don't think that could be the problem. I am just using ssh between local machines and there is no firewall between them. It also often seems to happen to a shell as I switch away from it to another one. One suspicion is that something is sending a signal to the shell as it switches, and bash sometimes doesn't handle that signal properly. I also should have mentioned that I have been running bash as my default shell for years under Linux and have never seen this problem there. Thanks for the suggestion. That's ok. If you can attach to the bash process with ktrace please try to grab a ktrace file from a deadlocked shell. We may be able to see why it gets deadlocked by running kdump(8) on the shell trace file. You can run a second shell under ktrace (and hope that the parent doesn't deadlock before the traced child shell), by running: bash$ ktrace -f bash.trace bash --login When you exit from the child shell you can dump ktrace(8) events from the bash.trace file with: bash$ kdump -f bash.trace logfile 21 Looking near the last records dumped in 'logfile' should be quite informative if the process is dead-locked or spinning around the same code over and over again. Thanks for the detailed information. I have been mostly a linux user, so this is new for me. It hasn't been happening very often lately, so it might be a while now. I will definitely try to keep any hung processes around to try your suggestions. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ 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
