Re: what is from [sic (wrong)] with this picture? -- Answer: It's Ubuntu, not FreeBSD
You can't have a sending domain as thought.org if the @ record for thought.org doesn't exist, IIRC. Look to your DNS for the solution, IMNSHO. No MX for thought.org It did have a SOA a minute ago, but this is gone also By default, postfix was installed on my ubuntu desktop. I am not familiar with it. I would =like= it to be sending mail to my server without the $HOST name instead of $HOST.$DOMAIN name. I know there are a bunch of us who use this kind of setup: FreeBSD for server things and some version of linux as a desktop. Really, this looks like a postfix blunder. How do I tell postfix to rewrite th e outgoing address without the hostname? This is a postfix question. Modify main.cf and set myorigin I guess? http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is for the intended recipient(s) only.

Since effective capacity in ZFS is so variable, due to things like ditto blocks, raidz, compression, and (soon to be added) dedup, the numbers provided by df no longer make much sense.

Kernel Trap 9 and freeze
Hello! Just upgraded the world and kernel to the latest 8.1-stable via cvs yesterday. Now, at 6 in the morning got kernel trap 9 (screenshot is attached). The worst part is that it did not reboot. It just froze after stopping other cpus. This is amd64 architecture. Kernel config is attached too. The question is how i can make the reboot in such case more reliable? Any kernel options which would more reliable send the server into reboot? Maybe some other comments on what happened and possible why?

IPFW firewall and TCP ports
While perusing my Apache httpd-error.log, I noticed a large number of attempts to access my phpmyadmin directory, as well as a few less know others. Most of these probes originated from China. Since I have no legitimate business dealing with that region, I decided to create a table in my IPFW firewall to block them. This is an example: ## IPFW Firewall Rules # Set rules command prefix cmd=ipfw -q add # public interface name of NIC facing the public Internet pif=nfe0 # Lets start by listing known bad IP addresses and blocking them. We # will put them into a table for easier handling. ipfw -q table 1 add 60.0.0.0/8 ipfw -q table 1 add 61.0.0.0/8 $cmd set 1 deny log all from table\(1\) to any in via $pif The above is the first entry in my rules file. I know that IPFW is working since I have blocked other ports for other services and it has worked correctly. The problem is that these IPs are not being blocked. I continue to see them listed in the httpd-error.log. I have rebooted my machine and therefore am quite certain that these rules are being loaded. The problem is that I probably do not understand how to properly block an IP or range of IPs from accessing my web server correctly.

Recycling of volumes in Bacula
Hello
I have now set up my first couple of backup jobs, both local and over
internet and it seems to bee working fine!! Quite happy about this since its
my first time using Bacula! However I have a couple of questions about
version control an recycling of volumes.
First a little info. I have 5 jobs running, each with its ovn fd/sd and pool
so they can run at the same time. I use incremental backup. Here is the
config of the pool and client for one of the jobs.
}
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = buzzy-pool
Pool Type = Backup
# Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
LabelFormat = buzzy-
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 year # 1 year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 10# Limit number of Volumes in Pool
}
Question: When a volume gets recycled, are all the files on that volume just
deleted, or is it just files that has been deleted on the server being
backed up that is deleted?
client {
Name = buzzy-fd
Address = buzzy.client.net
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = Password # password for FileDaemon 2
File Retention = 6 months # 6 months
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes# Prune expired Jobs/Files
What I would really like is this:
1. When a deleted file gets older than 6 months (a file that is deleted in
the original server beeing backed up) I would like it to be deleted in the
Bacula system. But I dont want files that in general is older than 6 months
(and not deleted from the original server beeing backed up) to be deleted
from the Bacula system.
2. When sombody changes a file, the file gets backed up again by Bacula, and
every time its chaned it get backed up. Is there a way to configure that
Bacula only keeps the 4 -5 last versions of this file, and delete the older
ones?
I have looked in the manual but not found any good explanations on this.
Google it didnt turn up anything either..
Hope someone could give me som feedback on this.
Best regards

ipsec with dynamic IP
Hello fellas, I have 2x 8.1-RELEASE machines and I need to create a vpn between them. I've been reading the handbook on this subject and following the example there, I was able to establish a link. The only problem is that both my machines have dynamic (external) IP. My way of solving this little issue would be to create a script that would check each machine for a new external IP and if it finds it, replace it wherever it is needed (gif interface, racoon conf. file) My question to you is if there is another, cleaner, way of achieving this and if any of you faced the same situation, how did you come to solve it ? Also, is there a way to make the gif interface persistent over reboots ? I couldn;t find any so again, a script comes to mind. -- Best regards, Claudiu Vasadi ___ 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: [Bacula-users] Recycling of volumes in Bacula
2010/9/29 Albin Vega albinv4...@gmail.com:
Hello
I have now set up my first couple of backup jobs, both local and over
internet and it seems to bee working fine!! Quite happy about this since its
my first time using Bacula! However I have a couple of questions about
version control an recycling of volumes.
First a little info. I have 5 jobs running, each with its ovn fd/sd and pool
so they can run at the same time. I use incremental backup. Here is the
config of the pool and client for one of the jobs.
}
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = buzzy-pool
Pool Type = Backup
# Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
LabelFormat = buzzy-
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 year # 1 year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 10 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
}
Question: When a volume gets recycled, are all the files on that volume just
deleted,
When a volume gets recycled the volume gets overwritten in the next
backup that uses it. I think now you can have it automatically
truncate if you want.
or is it just files that has been deleted on the server being
backed up that is deleted?
No definitely not that.
client {
Name = buzzy-fd
Address = buzzy.client.net
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = Password # password for FileDaemon 2
File Retention = 6 months # 6 months
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
What I would really like is this:
1. When a deleted file gets older than 6 months (a file that is deleted in
the original server beeing backed up) I would like it to be deleted in the
Bacula system. But I dont want files that in general is older than 6 months
(and not deleted from the original server beeing backed up) to be deleted
from the Bacula system.
Bacula does not have that feature. Also remember that recycling is an
entire volume at once not parts of the volume get deleted over time.
Bacula volumes are append only then delete the entire volume to
recycle. The reason for this is bacula supports tape and other formats
not just disk and all formats work the same way.
2. When sombody changes a file, the file gets backed up again by Bacula, and
every time its chaned it get backed up. Is there a way to configure that
Bacula only keeps the 4 -5 last versions of this file, and delete the older
ones?
Bacula does not work this way. And because of my answers above I am
not sure you could force it do do what you want.
John

[Freebsd-update]cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory

Not Sure Which Package has mssql_connect.
I just upgraded a system from FreeBSD6.3 to 8.1 and only have 2 loose ends so far. One is that I discovered some of my C code needs a little touching up to continue to work right and the other is that we have an application on our system that uses freetds and makes mysql queries and presently gives me the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in Line number of script is given and that line reads: $numero= mssql_connect(sql , natreg1 , PASSWD ); As soon as I find out what port or package contains mysql_connect, we should be back in business. I did install mysql50-client. It does not contain the mysql_connect routine so I deleted it. I installed the port called mysql-connector-odbc which looked like a good possibility but it also does not have the connect routine. I installed php5 to get the php interpreter so it is possible that I have the wrong php and another php has the mysql_connect routine so at this time, I am all ears. Thanks for any suggestions.

The numbers suggest you are using 4 x 1TB (base 10 TB) drives? That equals 3.7TiB (base 2 TB) which is the unit zpool/zfs uses. This is the total amount of space available to the pool and includes all space on all drives in the pool. Nothing strange so far. Now, since you've told zpool to create filesystems within the pool using raidz, the filesystems will have 25% less space available since this space is used for parity data. So a filesystem using the whole pool will report having 3.7 * 0.75 = 2.7TiB available which is in agreement with your numbers. A raidz filesystem will always lose 1 disk worth of space and will never report that space as available to you since it will always be occupied with parity data. The pool on the other hand doesn't make a distinction, in this case anyway, between user data and parity data so zpool will always report what's actually unallocated on all your physical drives in the pool. For every GiB you allocate in the filesystem you will allocate 1.33GiB in the pool since that includes parity data. zfs list and df -h are your best friends to find out how much space is available for your files.

Slap dedup on top of that and you get magically growing fs according to df 8) Ahhh...yea. Thanks everyone! I didn't realize that zpool status would show the raw space (so 4x1TB base10 is ~3.7TB base2), and not the available space after the 4-1 RAIDZ usage consumes. So that all makes sense, as well as with reservations, quotas and compression now causing df to not really know what's going on. If I want to get the actual values of available space vs used space, I should use zfs get all filesystem and look at the properties there? --Aaron ___ 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

Unlike Linux, you can't look at the line in 'top' to see how much memory is being used for buffers and cache. You can find more information about the VM architecture at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/vm.html . The way I understand it: The amount of cached file data pages is included in the Wired value The amount of free cache pages that can immediatly can be re-used for caching is the Cache value I don't see why it would be included in wired, and I'm pretty sure that's wrong. The cache queue is a stock of clean pages, it's sort of an intermediate state between inactive and free. Most memory allocations can be performed directly from the cache queue, which allows memory to hold useful data right up to the moment it's reallocated, and it allows FreeBSD to run with very little free (i.e. wasted) memory. Cache memory is topped-up with memory from the inactive queue in the background. Likewise inactive memory is topped-up from active memory. Since that's done on demand the values are virtually meaningless. The Buf value is the numbder of pages used for BIO-level disk caching I think that the value of Inactive also includes some kind of application data cache Pretty much anything that isn't permanently wired can end-up in the Inactive queue it's a general purpose queue for ageing-out memory. So as you also state, unlike linux there is no way of determining the amount of memory used for *all caching* with top FreeBSD sees most memory as a cache of a disk backing-store. So when you are running a program, it's executing inside a cache of the on-disk binary and its variables are a cache of the swap backing-store. ___ 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: Not Sure Which Package has mssql_connect.

I was thinking about what had happened when I transplanted some home-grown C code in to 8.1 and had to clean up some of my lazy habits to make it work again. So far, nothing I haven't been able to handle. but are you actually looking for a PHP extension that contains the mssql_connection function so some PHP code runs correctly? Yes. I also have a question whether you're looking for a PHP extension that connections to a MS SQL server or one that connects to a MySQL server. I'm guessing you're trying to connect to MS SQL. In spite of my rather confused question, that is exactly what I am doing. We talk to a remote mssql server and pull off new data from a database. If so, please install http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mssql/, and you should be all set.

pkg_config Version Numbers
I built bind9.7.1 on a 64-bit FreeBSD system and then did make package-recursive in order to produce a package that can be installed on some other systems. After doing so, I get the following warning on numerous other packages when I install them. pkg_add: warning: package pkg_name' requires 'pkg-config-0.23_1', but 'pkg-config-0.25' is installed This looks like it could be harmless enough as pkg-config-0.25 is newer but I thought I would ask before creating any more possible monsters.

That is adds several other object files to your own in order to get

which shows that _start is defined here, (but not e.g. _init). On the

The sources for these files are in asm, so would be good
to read a more accessible introduction.
Those routines set up the run-time envrionment that any UNIX
c-language evironment expects. that's that the name 'crt' prefix
means 'c-language run-time' this involves a bunch of 'gory
mechanical details' that *DON'T* really matter how they get
accomplished, jus that they _do_ get done. This includes things
like setting up the 'stack', and the 'heap', initializing the tables
for the dynamic-memory management routines (malloc and friends),
setting up 'stdin/stdout/stderr', and getting the command-line arguments
processed so that they can be passed as 'argc', and 'argv' (also the
'environment', in 'envp') to your 'main()' program.
Also, it seems only crt1, crti and crtn are provided
by FreeBSD itself (/usr/src/lib/csu/ia64), crtbegin and
crtend are under /usr/src/contrib/gcc/config/ia64/,
and sources for *S.o and *T.o I can't find at all.
So which of these are specific to GCC on FreeBSD, and
which aren't?
who cares? applies. it is all simmply required housekeeping
go bring the state of the current running process (i.e, the task/
address-space/etc) to what is defined as the 'initial state' for
a c-language 'main()' program.
For example if I use g95 compiler instead of gfortran45,
will the linker still need all above object files?
If you use 'the compiler' to manage the linking process -- e.g.
{compilername} -o {executable} {one-or-more-'object' .o file}
the right files will be automatically included in the executable.
'crt0.o' is the classical program entry point -- it may or may not
rely on other routines to get 'the environment' set up -- especially
depending on what 'advanced' features the program uses.. If you use
light-weight-process 'threads' (-lpthread) this may call for different
crt0 code.
Unless you are engaged in porting the compiler and O/S to a completely
new hardware architecture, or trying to generate 'stand-alone' code, e.g.
for an embedded processor tht runs witout _anuting called a 'cpu', you
don't have any reason to worry about this housekeeping code. Its there,
it works, and it does what it's supposed to. grin Oh yeah, if you
tamper with it, you make it incompatible with the use of _any_ existing
object files.
