Re: FreeBSD 9 on an AMD64 with an LSI SAS controller

 Greetings all,
 
 Roughly a week ago I sent to this mailing list a question about
 problems with installing FreeBSD 9 on an AMD64 system.
 It seems that I now know the reason why booting from the install CD
 failed. When buying the system I had not paid enough attention to
 the fact that the SAS controller on the motherboard is a new LSI
 SAS2008-IR which would need the mps driver. I had been assuming
 that since there is an LSI controller on the motherboard the older
 mpt driver should work.
 The mps driver, which would be needed for the SAS2008 series is
 still relatively new work in progress, is apparently not part of
 the GENERIC kernel used for the install kits.
 
 The next obvious question in my mind is: Are these new SAS2008
 series controllers now becoming common as the default SAS chips
 on motherboards?
 If so, until the mps driver matures enough it might be better for
 everybody to check before selecting a motherboard that the SAS
 controller on it will work with the older mpt driver.
 

mps has been backported to the 8.x branch from 9.x several months ago.

AFAIK, it's included in GENERIC, there is no reason it wouldn't be.

updating 8.1 release

2011-10-03 Thread wayne mitchell
hey
just tried to update a system using 'csup'
current system is: 8.1 RELEASE on a amd machine (amd64 GENERIC kernel)
tried downloading the CURRENT branch ( tag=. )
when running make buildworld
get an exit with error at /usr/lib/libmagic
system gives various warnings about unknown file types and incorrect
variable bounds
then exits with error 1 - 'cannot find any magic files'

tried this again with ( tag=RELENG_8 ) - exact same problem
tried this again with  ( tag=RELENG_8.2 ) - exact same problem

also tried make buildworld in multi-user -and- single-user

where should i expect to find any magic files on the system tree ?
thanks

I wouldn't worry about this. Be better to find out what is wrong. It is 
unclear exactly what you are trying to achieve, so I'll try some crystal-
ball gazing. Going from 8.1 to HEAD might actually be broken at any one 
given point in time. Not always, but the possibility exists. If you are dead 
set on this, read the -CURRENT list for hints on breakage.

If you are trying to set up a server for use in some form of stable 
environment I would suggest not using -CURRENT, but rather consider the 
security branch of either 8.1-RELEASE or 8.2-RELEASE. The csup tags are 
RELENG_8_1 and RELENG_8_2 respectively.  Example supfile:

*default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8_2
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all

Then cd to /usr/obj and do rm -rf *. This will remove leftovers of previous 
failed build attempts. Once this is cleaned up and you have the correct 
source (such as 8.2-RELEASE security branch), then just cd /usr/src and kick 
off the dance with a make buildworld. 

I just updated 9 machines from 8.2 to the 8.2 security branch and 
experienced zero trouble. I can't speak to whether -CURRENT will build, as 
my boxen are for production use and not for development work. If you 
continue to have a problem trying to update to RELENG_8_2 you are doing 
something wrong.

FreeBSD 8.2, sec.update -p3, switching between X and console prompt, /var full

2011-10-03 Thread n dhert
Hi,
I have FreeBSD amd64, 8.2-RELEASE,
I just applied the securtiy update p3 and now have
$ uname -r
8.2-RELEASE-p3

I have X running and KDE,
My machine is a virtual machine (Vmware)
After boot-up I got a graphical login window (as always), I wanted to
switch to a console prompt, so hit  Ctrl-Alt-F1
but there is now NO reaction at all (neither with Ctrl-Alt-F2,
...Ctrl-Alt-F8)
tried many times

In the past this was never a problem (in the pas also as a Virtual machine)
From a different PC, I also connected to my FreeBSD machine
Got a graphical window, here I could, after two tries, get the console
prompt,
went back to graphical mode via Ctrl-Alt-F9, OK,
but now neither keyboard, nor mouse reacts to input ...
Went back to my first PC, now here the same situatuon:
graphical window, keyboard and mouse: no more reaction

Now I see, my /var is for 108% full
There was a huge file Xorg.0.log  16959946731 bytes
I deleted it, but still it remains 108% full and I can't create new file

How to solve this ???
help!

I tried sorting a file with a column of floating

sort -g

Due to the GNU project's obsession with info (http://xkcd.com/912/), you 
can't readily find this out from the manpage - but the info documentation 
available on the web for coreutils describes the difference between -g 
and -n:

[when using -n] Neither a leading ‘+’ nor exponential notation is recognized. 
To compare such strings numerically, use the --general-numeric-sort (-g) 
option.

That's because xorg still uses the log file.

Type as root: sync

If that doesn't fix you up, restart Xorg, you'll get your correct size.

Re: Fwd: FreeBSD 8.2, sec.update -p3, switching between X and console prompt, /var full

You can kill the X process. Dirty stuff, but works. :-)

 nothing is repaired

You cannot run fsck on a mounted file system. You'll have
to unmount /var first, _then_ issue the fsck command. You
should do that in single user mode. Reason: If you have
unmounted /var, but some process wants to write to /var,
the empty mountpoint residing on / will be filled, therefore
/ will be filled which is _not_ intended.



 See the last UNREF FILE, it has the size of the huge /var/log/Xorg.0.log I
 already deleted from command line (and not anymore in
 an ls -la), but keeps fulling /var

Additionally to using rm, you can also use fsdb to forcedly
delete files under worst circumstances.

Removing files should be done after booting the system in
single user mode. This way you can make _sure_ nothing is
writing to those files. Before a removal attempt, you should
run fsck so the file system is in a valid condition.

How do I get p11-kit to upgrade?

moving a svn repository

2011-10-03 Thread n dhert
On a FreeBSD machine which the svn software installed, repositories for
different projects exist.
Such a repository looks as a directory with subdirs and files.

One user wants the SVN repository of one project to be transferred to a
different machine (which had
exactly the same FreeBSD version and exactly the same version of the svn
software).

Is it possible to simply make a tar file of the directory of the svn
repository, transfer that to the other machine
and there untar it in the home-directory that the user has on that other
machine and use it without further ado ?

Yeah, no problem. But I'll recommend that the user checks out his
working directory after the change. Subversions switch command pr.
instance do not always work svn:properties.

Hi n dhert,

You said repository, but can you clarify if you meant a Subversion
working directory or a Subversion repository?  A working directory has a
bunch of .svn directories throughout the hierarchy, and a repository has
a directory structure that looks like this at the top level:

README.txt
conf/
db/
format
hooks/
locks/

If you want to move a working directory to a new machine, I suggest
committing pending changes in the original one, removing it from the old
machine and then checking it out fresh on the new machine.

If you want to move a repository, ask your user to commit pending
changes, use the svnadmin dump command to create a dump file, then
transfer it and use svnadmin load on the target machine.  Also make
sure to check if there are any hook scripts in the old repository and
move them as well.  They may depend on tools that are not installed or
paths that don't exist on the new machine, so check that they function
correctly.

After the repository move, the user can run svn switch --relocate in
his working directory to point to the new repository URL.

Hope that helps,
Greg

procmail/maildrop and Maildir update

2011-10-03 Thread Warren Block

Since this is -questions:

  Have you updated that article on switching from procmail to maildrop
   to include details on Maildirs?  And does it have a mailing list
   filter that automatically creates folders as needed?  And a full
   .mailfilter example?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Timestamps shifted by 8 hours

2011-10-03 Thread Janos Dohanics
I have pfSense-2.0 for gateway/firewall (10.10.10.2).

10.10.10.2 logs to 10.10.10.252, which runs FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE.

10.10.10.252 is the ntpd server for this LAN.

On 10.10.10.2:

date

Tue Oct  4 00:00:42 EDT 2011

On 10.10.10.252:

$date
Tue Oct  4 00:00:50 EDT 2011
(just after logging out of 10.10.10.2, so they seem to be in sync)

However, timestamps in pfsense.log, residing on 10.10.10.252, are
shifted by 8 hours, for example:

$ tail -f /var/log/pfsense.log
Oct  4 09:00:01 10.10.10.2 pf: 00:00:00.748775 rule 1/0(match): [...]
   

I guess I should read some man page...
