Re: Memory limit in xz (/usr/local/bin/xz)
I have the same problem when I want to upgrade libtool from 15 to 22, thanks. True, libtool is among the several ports affected. For libtool I uncompressed by hand and so make accepted to complete, but it defeats the purpose of portupgrade if one has to do everything by hand.

From xz(1): To prevent uncomfortable surprises caused by huge memory usage, xz has a built-in memory usage limiter. While some operating systems provide ways to limit the memory usage of processes, relying on it wasn't deemed to be flexible enough. The default limit depends on the total amount of physical RAM: [...] The default limit can be overridden with --memory=limit. and ENVIRONMENT XZ_OPT A space-separated list of options is parsed from XZ_OPT before parsing the options given on the command line.

I hope you're using -d and/or -n switches to fsck_ffs as advised; you
don't want to write to this disk until you're sure it's likely correct.
How do I make a fresh label if I have only 'c' and 'd' partitions?
See below; first you want to make sure you have a good backup of *at
least* the first couple of tracks, so you can restore that if need be.
How do I dd the first 126 sectors to a file?
I suggest carefully reading dd(1) ('man 1 dd'), at least the relevant
bits for copying whole sectors (ignoring block, ascii etc modes). The
default block/sector size is 512 but specifying it makes it clearer:
# dd bs=512 count=126 if=/dev/da0 of=/somepath/backup_da0_126sectors
That said, it would be far better if you can temporarily spare the
114GB space, to backup an image of the whole disk:
# dd bs=512 if=/dev/da0 conv=sync,noerror of=/somepath/backup_of_da0
If you can do that, you can use that image with bsdlabel -f file to play
with the image first, only writing to the real disk when all looks good.
Or alternatively, if you get it wrong on the real disk, you could just
dd back to da0 from the file (as above, but swapping if= and of=)
Now, bsdlabel. Carefully read man bsdlabel, and if possible practice
saving and editing some labels from a good disk but with the -n switch,
so no changes are made; this will report what bsdlabel would do without
the -n switch and report any problems found with the layout you specify.
If you are not comfortable with vi (I'm not), you could set your shell's
EDITOR variable to ee (or another) first. I do this in my /root/.cshrc
with 'setenv EDITOR ee'
All of that said, to stress being as careful as possible, the examples
given in bsdlabel(8) are exactly what you need for da0s1 .. if you use
the -f file switch you can do it all with your saved image instead:
===
bsdlabel -w /dev/da0s1
Create a label for da0s1.
bsdlabel -e da0s1
Read the label for da0s1, edit it, and install the result.
bsdlabel -e -n da0s1
Read the on-disk label for da0s1, edit it, and display what the new label
would be (in sectors). It does not install the new label either in-core
or on-disk.
bsdlabel -w da0s1
Write a default label on da0s1. Use another bsdlabel -e command to edit
the partitioning and file system information.
bsdlabel -R da0s1 savedlabel
Restore the on-disk and in-core label for da0s1 from information in
savedlabel.
bsdlabel -R -n da0s1 label_layout
Display what the label would be for da0s1 using the partition layout in
label_layout. This is useful for determining how much space would be
allotted for various partitions with a labeling scheme using %-based or *
partition sizes.
===
If the 'd' partition was the only one on this disk, as seems likely,
then your label format should wind up looking like this, on your data:
# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
#size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 234436482 0unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit
d: 234436482 04.2BSD
Please take care. Personally, I always use sysinstall(8) or sade(8) to
slice and label disks, so if my advice re this is incorrect, hopefully
someone will chime in with something more correct, or perhaps easier.
cheers, Ian

It would be helpful if you could show us some code, so we can tell exactly what you're trying to do. It sounds like your problem is you'ld like to supply a globbing pattern as an argument to your script, and then apply it within the script. So you'ld like to call the script something like this: $ myscript.sh -p globpattern filename The trick there would be to enclose globpattern in quote marks, which will cause it to be passed literally into the script, rather than your interactive shell attempting to expand the pattern before starting the script and passing the arguments to it. (That's a classic way of getting a No match error message which seems to come from a program that couldn't have generated it) Note that it's not just the shell that can do globbing expansions -- find(1), pkg_info(1) are two examples I can think of immediately. These glob-pattern command line arguments similarly need quoting to protect them from the shell.

Are you sure you don't have this backwards? portmaster should not touch /bin/csh, since it is not a port - it is part of the base system. However, if root's shell is set to bash and portmaster blew up upgrading that port, this would prevent you from logging in as root, and is a good example of why not to change root's default shell to something not in the base install. If this is the case, and you have physical access to the machine, drop into single-user mode and use chsh(1) to reset root's shell to /bin/csh.

When doing a major version upgrade of FreeBSD, the last (mandatory) step is

I have a system with 750+ ports, I guess the portupgrade -af will take
something like 30 hours to compile
(on a test system with 425 ports portugprade -af took 15 hours).
What happens in the periode that not every port is yet rebuilt and
reinstalled?
Will applications (webserver, print server, X server, and the many other
apps) not be working,
until these ports (and the ports they depend on) will be successfully
recompiled ?
It's a mixed bag, really. Unless you can build all your required ports
off-line, and then do all the upgrading via packages you're going to
have hours of downtime and various other possible effects on service.
You can sort-of do this upgrade in-place on a live system, but you'ld
have to do it at a weekend or overnight or whenever your site gets
minimum traffic. You've also got to watch the upgrade process
carefully, and restart daemons as required. Eg. something like mysql
will be stopped on deinstall, but you'll have to restart it as soon as
the updated version is installed. Check pkgtools.conf -- there's foo
you can put in the AFTERINSTALL hash to try and automate that:
AFTERINSTALL = {
'*' = proc { |origin|
cmd_start_rc(origin)
},
}
On the other hand, for something like Apache+mod_php, you don't want to
bounce apache until all of the php5 and pecl modules have been rebuilt.
Your php applications probably won't work during the time everything is
being rebuilt.
Shared libraries will generally get rebuilt fairly early in the process.
In general this will not cause any running application that links
against the old version of the shlib to stop running. It may well
prevent starting a new instance of a process, even though there are
backup copies of the old shlib saved in /usr/local/compat/pkg. That's
potentially a big Ooops.
In summary: probably best to arrange enough downtime to do the upgrade
and just turn everything off while you are doing it. If you really need
minimum downtime, think about one of the following:
* Create a jail on your server, build all required ports as
packages and then do your upgrade by package juggling only
* Build a whole new system in a jail in its own partition, then
reboot using that partition as the root. Works particularly
well if your system is using ZFS.
* Use a spare machine to build an upgraded system, switch it
in place of the live server, then upgrade the live box at leisure
and switch back. (Works well in combination with the packages
only method above.)
There are other tricks, like splitting a RAID1 mirror, upgrading one of
the disks only, then only once the upgrade has been tested and approved
do you put the mirror back together and resynch. In this case, if it
all goes horribly wrong, you can just reboot from the other half of the
mirror back into the original system and then resynch in the other
direction to get back to square one. You can have the server back live
running on one disk while you rebuild the other or while the resynch is
happening if you need to.
Cheers,
Matthew

This means that inside your script $1 will be assigned the first matching entry, $2 would be the second one, $3 a third one and so on. To avoid this, you need to directly communicate the * to your script's parameter $1, which is done by escaping or quoting it. In this case, $1 will contain a literal * inside the script. In most cases when scripting, it's useful not to assume such a complicated command line processing. You better let the shell do the expansion of *, so your script gets a lot of parameters, one for each match, and you then continue to process them. Another option is to just provide a prefix pattern to your script, and let IT then add the * to expand it internally within the script (i. e. by the shell that processes the script). So you won't have to give a * at the command line of the calling dialog shell. -- 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
Burning CDs on FreeBSD 7.2
Hi, I have several systems, one on 5.4 and two on 7.2 . I keep the 5.4 system because every time I upgrade something breaks and cannot be fixed without (apparently) weeks of effort. I *am* trying to get off it. Now: my 5.4 system is down until I replace some hardware. In the meantime I need to burn about forty data CDs. I've been using burncd on 5.4 but when I try it on 7.2 the drive and process lock up during the fixate step. Clearing them requires a reboot. Does anyone have advice, pointers, etc.? If you point me to pseudo-SCSI, please give me pointers to all parts of the solution, since the various man pages don't have proper links to each other. (Hint to man page authors: the SEE ALSO entries are very important, and you must consider ALL levels, from other apps to the system calls used.) Thank you for your help.

If you point me to pseudo-SCSI, please give me pointers to all parts of the solution, since the various man pages don't have proper links to each other. First of all, load the kernel module for ATAPICAM: # kldload atapicam You can also make this permanent by adding atapicam_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf. Of course, you can also recompile your kernel with device atapicam added. If the module is loaded successfully, see what SCSI equipment will show up: # camcontrol devlist HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H58N 1.01 at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) This is an example of how a ATAPI recorder shows up as a SCSI device: it's the device 2:0:0, corresponding to /dev/cd0 and /dev/pass0. Unless you're burning CDs with root permissions, you need to make sure your user will have proper writing access to the following files, e. g. by using the group operator for your user: own cd0 root:operator permcd0 0664 own xpt0root:operator permxpt00660 own pass0 root:operator permpass0 0660 This is an example from /etc/devfs.conf. Make sure devfs is restarted to reflect those changes. In the following example, I just assume commands will be issued by root. If you want to burn data CDs, I recommend using cdrecord. In step 1, you prepare the ISO to be burned: # cd /path/to/your/files/ # mkisofs -r -J -o /tmp/cd1.iso vol1/ Then you burn it: # cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data /tmp/cd1.iso You can of course combine both steps: # cd /path/to/your/files/ # mkisofs -r -J vol1/ | cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data - An addition: I have setup an alias for burning data CDs in ~/.cshrc for less typing: alias burndata 'cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data' This makes it more easy to deal with existing ISO files, which often is the way I go (instead of the combined method). -- 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

Try some other kind of drive other than just replacing with more of the same. Possibly a firmware flash might help in cases other then the self-bricking scenario, as once it happens they're done. Also, I'm very leery of putting Green drives in any kind of server environment. They spend way to much time parking heads and spinning down.

Hard to tell as disk controllers are usually pretty busy here. Newer equipment is supposed to be able to operate in a shared interrupt environment.

databases/php5-odbc vs. libiodbc
Currently the databases/php5-odbc PHP extension is hardcoded to be compiled with unixODBC backend, so the users that have libiodbc installed (as a dependency of kde4 ports, for ex.) can't installed the first 'cause those two ODBC ports conflict with each other. The php-odbc configure script however says (./configure --help) it can be compiled with iODBC support (--with-iodbc=/usr/local), but for some reason simply replacing the configure script arguments for the port (with libiodbc installed from ports) result in nothing being done: the configure script creates the Makefile with empty target, so nothing is built actually. Did anyone have success before with building php5-odbc lniked to iodbc backend? ___ 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: concerning flash under freebsd
Their last Linux release only exists for x86. Two ArchLinux mailinglists are advising users about uninstalling Flash from our systems. Flash is hardly working on BSD. And often bug on Linux. I spent one month, for my work, trying to correct a few of those crashes (we provide FreeBSD servers, our administrative intranet uses Flash sockets). Well, nspluginwrapper source is a complete mindfuck. Just wait for newer releases, and check if what you need works. For now, HTML5 is about to replace it, spreading on YoutubeCo., and we still did not knew a working version of Flash under Linux. The day Adobe would provide compatible softwares, they may speak about supporting Linux/Solaris... Until that, the cleanest way to proceed, is to setup a Windows VM...

Another version of gettext (0.18), and another shared library version
bump (from intl.8 to intl.9), so:
All ports that have an identifiable known direct dependency on gettext
have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. If after upgrading:
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -w -r gettext
The upgrade of devel/gobject-introspection may fail because it is looking
for libintl.so.8. In this case, do the following:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection
# make clean
# make deinstall
# make install clean
Then continue your upgrade procedure normally.
If there are still ports on your system that are looking for libintl.so.8
(either in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file
a PR so that a correct direct dependency can be added.
Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old versions (such
as libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8) you can safely delete them from the
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if they are present there.

As shown in the posted test results you can see that the * is removed

Online gaming and file downloads - latency hell!
Yo, I have a FreeBSD box acting as a router between me and the Internet. Whenever someone on the local network downloads something, the other connections have a really high latency. A second or more. For people who like to download large files and play online games, it's not good. I tried traffic shaping with PF, which works - almost: I tried the home example in the PF book, but it doesn't work out so well. I can throttle users with no trouble, but even so that doesn't seem to help the latency issue unless I choke the 'big file download' users almost completely off. It's like nothing helps. I tried a priority based queue where all traffic on the gaming ports was placed in front of all other traffic, and while I saw a very mild improvement, latency was still really pitiful. Is there anything else I can do? Anyone have a similar setup and wish to share config files? Are there some sysctl's that would help this out or something. I'm almost ready to just buy a 'gaming' *gag* router which implements their own brand of QoS, but don't want to sink to that level if I don't have to.

Re: SATA time outs
After a reread when it finally stuck that this started with an upgrade to 8, I like Mathew's suggestion to use a 7.x LiveCD (and possibly a -Stable snapshot as well) to see if it is a 7.x vs 8.x problem. Even so, there still might be a possibility that firmware in the drive tickled something in 8.x that it didn't hit under 7.x. Same issue occurs under 7.2.
