Re: poudriere amassing fetch errors
Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem. A lot of fetch and checksum errors. I have set RESOLV_CONF=/etc/resolv.conf in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf, resolv.conf is copied to the poudriere jail and manual fetching of the ports is working. On every run of poudriere bulk different ports are failing due to fetch or checksum errors. Sometimes no file is fetched, sometimes a small one and then I get a checksum failure, sometimes the file is about two times bigger and I get a checksum failure, too. Normal make install clean is running fine on that machine. I'm using FreeBSD 9.1-rc2 and poudriere 2.2 (2.1. had the same issue) I have some other problems as well: - poudriere bulk doesn't exit; after building all pkgs it sleeps forever - I have two errors several times, but I don't know to which ports they belong: perl: not found Makefile, line 86: warning: /bin/sh -c 'case `perl --version` in *freebsd-thread*) echo yes ;; esac' returned non-zero status and /usr/local/bin/apr-1-config: not found Makefile.common, line 115: warning: /usr/local/bin/apr-1-config --includedir returned non-zero status Could anybody help me?

Thank you for your comment.
I must admit that I do not fully understand what it is you do.
Will you explain the details, Please?
Thanks

Hello Leslie,
Sorry if my comment sounded a bit cryptic.
The first 512 bytes of any hard-disk reside outside of any slice and
contain the master boot record. If you installed Windows first and
FreeBSD second and opted for the FreeBSD (a.k.a. Easy) Boot Manager,
the disk's first 512 bytes will contain 446 bytes of Boot Manager
code (which the BIOS executes to give you the F1/F2/F3/F4 choices),
64 bytes containing the disk's slice layout (maximum 4 slices) and
2 bytes for a BIOS checksum.
It is very easy to lose the MBR. If, instead of chkdsk, you were to
run the fixmbr command, Windows will put its own code into the 446
bytes. That code is capable of only one thing - booting drive C:
When you ran chkdsk /f, Windows changed the slice-type of your
FreeBSD slice from FFS (ID=165) to NTFS (ID=7) in the MBR. Only
Microsoft knows why chkdsk is permitted to do that.
Once that happens, you would REALLY like to fix the MBR. One way to
do it is to to run the reverse of the first command :
dd if=ad4.512 of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=1
This assumes 1) you can boot into FreeBSD or Linux or have a GParted
bootable CD, and 2) you saved your original MBR as ad4.512 and have
access to it, possibly on a USB pendrive that you can mount.
Just as the disk's first 512 bytes reside outside of any slice,
every slice's first 512 bytes reside outside any partition in that
slice and consequently outside the filesystems in that slice. This
sector contains the boot code (a.k.a. boot record) needed to boot
the OS on that slice. Windows will generally be nice enough to first
read the boot.ini file, which gives us the option of booting FreeBSD
from Windows' boot.ini :
dd if=/dev/ad4s2 of=ad4s2.512 bs=512 count=1
Copy out ad4s2.512 to drive C:, and put this in your boot.ini :
c:\ad4s2.412=Boot FreeBSD instead
Of course, you have to substitute your correct numbers in the
adNs{N} notation. For me, N is 4 and {N} is 2.
The ad4s2a.512 file contains the first sector in your FreeBSD /
partition and is meaningful to the loader more than to us mortals.
If everything else fails, you might like to give the following a
try :
1) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD, enter the slice editor and
change the type of your FreeBSD slice back to 165. Do not press Q.
Press W instead. Conform with Yes to the warning, and then press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to abort the installation.
2) Boot from your FreeBSD CD/DVD again, and run boot0cfg -B in an
emergency shell.
My legal disclaimer comes here, but do let me know if you get lucky
I hope my message sounds less cryptic now. I personally don't have
anything against running chkdsk or fixmbr, AS LONG AS I have backed
up the important sectors.

Re: poudriere amassing fetch errors
On 11/2/2012 11:52 AM, Wolfgang Riegler wrote: Hi, unfortunately I have the same problem. A lot of fetch and checksum errors. I have set RESOLV_CONF=/etc/resolv.conf in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf, resolv.conf is copied to the poudriere jail and manual fetching of the ports is working. On every run of poudriere bulk different ports are failing due to fetch or checksum errors. Sometimes no file is fetched, sometimes a small one and then I get a checksum failure, sometimes the file is about two times bigger and I get a checksum failure, too. This doesn't sound like a poudriere-specific issue. There may be a general fetching issue with bsd.port.mk, that I plan to investigate further. Normal make install clean is running fine on that machine. I'm using FreeBSD 9.1-rc2 and poudriere 2.2 (2.1. had the same issue) I have some other problems as well: - poudriere bulk doesn't exit; after building all pkgs it sleeps forever This issue should be fixed in poudriere-devel. - I have two errors several times, but I don't know to which ports they belong: perl: not found Makefile, line 86: warning: /bin/sh -c 'case `perl --version` in *freebsd-thread*) echo yes ;; esac' returned non-zero status and /usr/local/bin/apr-1-config: not found Makefile.common, line 115: warning: /usr/local/bin/apr-1-config --includedir returned non-zero status The first I'm not sure about. The 2nd are apache ports incorrectly depending on apr to be installed, which does not work in a fresh jail. If you run ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel bulk with -J1 you should see which port is causing these issues, so they can be reported to the maintainers. The specific problem as that the ports do not build properly within clean jails. Could anybody help me?

Re: HELP: some process eat my /var
Eugen Konkov wrote: how to find which process take space? You might want to look at fstat and lsof. fstat is in system while lsof is an add-on third party port. Keep in mind that when you do find the space you are looking for it will be held 'open' as an open file in the file system as long as the process is running. During normal operations you can shut down the process and release the space so it can be deleted. This is relatively straightforward as long as everything is 'normal'. The more difficult position arises when a process has behaved abnormally, including going zombie, crashing, etc. With the 'abnormal' there can be a chance that even though the process is gone you may encounter difficulty trying to delete/recover the space because the file system still considers it an open file. -Mike ___ 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

ATI HD 4850 driver
Hello, I installed stellarium and the 3d acceleration of my ATI 4850 card didn't work in FreeBSD 9.0. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed that AIGLX could not load the r600_dri.so driver because it was missing in the /usr/local/lib/dri/ folder. So I recovered the r600_dri.so file from a PCBSD 9.0 installation and copied it to my FreeBSD 9.0 /usr/local/lib/dri/ folder and now my 3d acceleration works. Are there plans to resolve this bug in FreeBSD version 9.1 ?

Burning .iso DVD's
Aloha, I am not able to get a successfull burn of .iso DVD's 9.0 or higher FreeBSD. Chapter 19.7 ... of Handbook says to use growisofs with ATAPI support same as I do for 7.* 8.* FreeBSD etc. I get error of no growisofs ..when I run growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=image.iso What has cdrecord home.iso got to do with this ? It seems that to run growisofs some people say you have to use this now. Not clearly defined in handbook pages I printed. I would like to make a new burner that works on 9.* up. Any help would be great.

Deinstalling, rebuilding, and reinstalling that port should create them. If it does not, something else is wrong on that system. ___ 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
