FACT: The count for a directory is _NOT_ the number of filesystem entities containted within, as you claimed.

Tell me, according to your claim that for directories, the link-count is quite obviously the number of filesystem entities contained within, just _approximately_, what is the expected link count for a directory containing 135 regular files, 9 'dot files' (including '.' and '..'), and 26 sub- directories? No need for an exact answer. Just pick one -- do you claim the number is going to be close to 26, or to 170? The 'details' of the link count for a directory became significant only when someone posted grossly incorrect information about what that number meant. A 'name' inside a directory points to an 'inode'. the inode has a count of how many 'names' point to that inode. It doesn't make NOT ONE D*MN BIT of difference whether the contents of that inode are a directory, a regular file, a symlink, or whateverC -- the 'link count' has always exactly the same meaning. ___ 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

Yep, that's a good idea... as well as switching to a text console, issue the commands there, and then go back to X. But IMHO, the *real* solution is to fix hald (or its config), so that it tries /dev/sysmouse, or whatever mouse is configured in Xorg.conf, instead of automatically picking some wrong mouse device. I guess the problem stems from the fact, that when moused is running, it has already grabbed the real mouse device (e.g. /dev/psm0) and provides the virtual device /dev/sysmouse. When hald starts the first time, it tries to grab the real mouse device too... and fails because that mouse is already used by moused, and is therefore locked. Only when hald tries to load /dev/sysmouse the second time it is started, will it succeed. Unfortunatly, hald config is pretty black magic to me.

Integrating FreeBSD with MS Active Directory in order to be able to Authenticate Dovecot IMAP server
Hi,
I'm attempting to authenticate Dovecot to Active Directory, however,
I'm failing quite badly.
So far I have gone through the FreeBSD handbook on Kerberos authentication:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kerberos5.html
Additionally I have been through the Dovecot config:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/Winbind
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm
I am running FreeBSD 8.2 x64 RELEASE edition with the Dovecot2 port
installed, SAMBA 3.6, and the Heimdal version of Kerberos.
I pulled the krb5.conf and smb.conf files from one of our production
Linux boxes..
This is my dovecot.conf file:
# v1.1:

# v1.2+:
auth_use_winbind = yes
auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth

# It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this
# by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier.

passdb {

}

My problems became more desperate.
Since May, 15th, I'm unable to compile a buildworld and I suspect I
messed up my OS somehow.
I have already completely deleted /usr/src and checked out via SVN again.
Deleting /etc/src.conf and /etc/make.conf, performing buildworld with
the system's original make.conf (using the legacy GCC 4.2.1) ends up
with the below shown error.
Try to compile with CLANG as suggested via the Wiki page and the
attached /etc/src.conf gives a very short approach in how to trap into a
error, also shown below.
My problems occured around the May, 15th and hit ALL of my FreeBSD
10-CURRENT/amd64 boxes on which I do most time daily buildworld. Two of
them could be fixed, I did this two days ago by
cd /usr/src
make installincludes
make -C {lib|libexec|sbin ...} clean cleandepend depend obj all install
On one specific machine it didn't work that way. I found out that
several binaries in the system's tree remained dated on 15th May, so
like ld or other essential pieces. Therefore I suspect a crushed system.
Does anyhow do have any idea how to repair the system? I can compile a
kernel, but I can not compile ports (or even update them, I receive
multiple weird errors of missing header files or changed libstdc++.so.
The idea was to take a very recent binary installation set and install
this selective peice by piece over the existing installation, but I need
to preserve /etc and other directories. Any ideas ?
Help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

Trial and error for the base system is the only method I'm aware of

others, I would suspect all of the contents on disk (esp after recent
reports about UFS filesystem corruption with SUJ).
I can compile a kernel, but I can not compile ports (or even update them, I

You can resolve the ports issue via another port that's shell based or
C based. Memory serves me correctly it was
ports-mgmt/port-maintenance-tools ..
The idea was to take a very recent binary installation set and install
this selective peice by piece over the existing installation, but I need
to preserve /etc and other directories. Any ideas ?
You can save files that would be in the dist tarballs on the install
media to another directory (/etc/*, customizations in /root, /usr,
etc). Then you can extract the tarballs (I would use a test directory
first though). Passing certain flags to tar to just copy out some
binaries might help.
Help is appreciated and thanks in advance,
Lesson to maybe learn:
1. Always have a backup machine running a stable version of FreeBSD
that is fast enough that you can use to generate images and push out
to machines on the fly. If not possible, always have a static
toolchain on hand (I would assume that it's safe to say that anything
listed in bootstrap-tools would be game for the toolchain).
2. Expect warts on CURRENT right after a major release cycle has run
its course. If this is too much to worry about, don't run 10-CURRENT
and instead run 9-STABLE, etc.
Cheers,
-Garrett

Dual Boot Windows 7 FreeBSd 8.3
Hi, I have been searching through questions and forums for information on dual booting FreeBSD 8.3 on a machine with Windows 7 already on it. My problem is that the posts seem to go around in circles and be contradictory. I am not sure which to believe. My new machine has two disk drives. Windows 7 is on ad0 and I want to put FreeBSD 8.3 on ad1, leaving W7 as is. So, I don't even have to shrink a primary slice to do this. I have dual booted Xp, Windows 98 and 95 with various FreeBSDs before with no problem. But, the story I keep hearing now seems to be that Windows 7 is more picky and will not work with the FreeBSD MBR. I am not sure why. At least some people seem to be claiming that I canNOT just do the install and put the FreeBSD MBR on the primary slices right from the sysnstall menu just like in the good old days - that the only way to make it work is to use something called 'Easybcd' to edit whatever Windows 7 puts in place rather than using the FreeBSD MBR and then use the MS MBR with whatever Easybcd does to it. Then again there were some posts that seemed to claim that using the FreeBSD MBR in the tried and true old way is just fine and everything just works. I'd like to think that is true. I really don't want to have to scrounge up install media and remake the Windows 7 just because I do some wrong thing or I would just smoke test it. I am really phobic when it comes to MS stuff. I don't need any fancy boot menu. What I have had in the past is just fine. I just want to select either of the OSen and get some stuff done. I expect to be booted to FreeBSD most of the time, but need to use some W7 now and then for powder point, etc. If someone who understands the process underlying the boot system and knows if Windows 7 really does require something else now, who can speak with confidence can enlighten us, I would certainly appreciate it.

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Hi, can you please, -please- file a PR? And place all of the above information in it so we don't lose it? If this is indeed the problem then I really think we should root cause why the driver and/or interrupt handling code is getting angry with the shared interrupt. I'd also appreciate it if you and the other people who can reproduce this could work with the em/mpt driver people and root cause why this is going. I think having FreeBSD on vmware work stable out of the box without these kinds of tweaks is the way to go - who knows what else is lurking here..

Purpose of FreeBSD X.Y-RELEASE Hardware Notes
Gentleman (and ladies), what is the purpose of the Hardware Notes when it does not provide any REAL information about what hardware is supported? A painful example, I checked if SCSI Controller Adaptec 29320 is supported on FreeBSD and the 'official' information is that it is supported with the AHD(4) driver, like below. [i386,sparc64,ia64,amd64] The ahd(4) driver supports the following: Adaptec AIC7901 host adapter chip Adaptec AIC7901A host adapter chip Adaptec AIC7902 host adapter chip *Adaptec 29320 host adapter* Adaptec 39320 host adapter Many motherboards with on-board SCSI support But after connecting this Adaptec 29320 to the system it shits the terminal from top to bottom and all I have are issues with it, that is called officially supported hardware? There should be [*] sign on that device that this device ID is known, but its support is less then good. Grepping the Internet shows that all people suggest to put that SCSI card directly into the bin and get something else to work on FreeBSD.

But, the story I keep hearing now seems to be that Windows 7 is more picky and will not work with the FreeBSD MBR. I am not sure why. I have only done this with systems up to 8.1. With one disk you obviously have to shrink the partition. Depending on the size and how long windows 7 has been mucking with the disk there may be non-movable files.So you could need something a bit more sophicated the the native partition manager. Past that until 9.0, which works perfectly, installing an MBR removes the windows 7 MBR. From scratch using FreeBSD to make at least three partitions, installing FreeBSD in the third one and reinstalling from a restore set (which will most like use partitions 1 and 2) and then using a windows 7 compliant boot manager works. If you can shrink the windows partition to get enough space, make a windows restore set and then install FreeBSD and a boot manager. I have done this with 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1. I did a post I can probably find. At least some people seem to be claiming that I canNOT just do the install and put the FreeBSD MBR on the primary slices right from the sysnstall menu just like in the good old days - that the only way to make it work is to use something called 'Easybcd' to edit whatever Windows 7 puts in place rather than using the FreeBSD MBR and then use the MS MBR with whatever Easybcd does to it.

If you can shrink the partition its fairly straight foward. The main trick is once you have shrunk the partion you must make a restore set because if you have to restore, the process rewrites everything, partition table and MBE as well as the windows partition. So if you do not and have to restore, your FreeBSD partition will disappear. I don't need any fancy boot menu. What I have had in the past is just fine.

Using FreeBSD 9.0 takes away the need for a third party boot manager but all the rest of the above applies, I am pretty sure. All my experience with windows 7 has been with AMD64, a Dell laptop, and a cute little HP thingy that I got for $300. If it is helpful I can probably dig up some details but the 8.x stuff I did was a year ago so the frog of war dims my recollection of details. ___ 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

The boot manager is nothing but an automatic interruption of the boot process to give you a chance to press a key for the system you want to boot from. But you're right.

Re: portsnap update won't update original /usr/ports

It says: If you are running Portsnap for the first time, extract the snapshot into /usr/ports: # portsnap extract If you already have a populated /usr/ports and you are just updating, run the following command instead... If you have the tree from the disk then that means you are running portsnap for the first time, the second sentence refers to a /usr/ports populated by a portsnap extract. My response: Now I wonder if it's feasible to switch between portsnap fetch update and csup ports-supfile, or if it's strictly one or the other. You'll probably get away with it most of the time, but it's not safe to mix them. ___ 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
