Hello dear,
Does jail.conf(5) does not work for jails listed in the rc.conf ?
I've added in /etc/jail.conf:
foo {
hostname=Foo;

allow.sysvipc=1;
}
And in /etc/rc.conf only foo in the jail_list parameter, but when I try

start the jail it still complain about missing hostname.

There are 2 methods for configuring jails.
The legacy method which you put the jail config statements in the hosts
/etc/rc.conf file and start and stop control is done by the hosts
/etc/rc.d/jail script at boot time.
The jail(8) method which has it's own jail config statements in the
hosts /etc/jail.conf file and uses the jail(8) program for starting and
stopping. You can create a jail.conf file for each jail(8) and start it
using jail -c -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf and stop by issuing
jail -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf -r jailname
You can not mix the 2 methods.
My real problem is that I wanted to add allow.sysvipc only for *one* jail
and I can't find a real solution by jail_* flags in /etc/rc.conf
There is jail_allow_sysvipc but it enable it for all jails.
The jail(8) method does have a allow_sysvipc on a per jail basis. To use it
you have to use the jail(8) method. The 9.1-RELEASE legacy method is a work
in process to incorporate the jail(8) parameters into the rc.conf config
statements.
About the allow_sysvipc parameter, this breaks the security the jail is
designed to provide and should NOT be used on any jails having public
internet access.
What are you trying to do that you think you need to use the allow_sysvipc
parameter?
PostgreSQL, usually I install it on the host instead of jails, but I
needed a second instance on a different port for a public access..

Hot Swapping SATA drive?

I use it as a backup device. I just now tried to read up a little bit on all of this ACPI stuff, but my eyes are starting to glaze over. So if someone would answer these simple and obvious questions, I'd appreciate it: 1) Given a system running FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, is anything bad gonna happen if I insert a drive into this thing while the system is running? Will I be able to mount partitions contained on the drive in question after I do so? That works for me. I need to re-scan the ata channel using atacontrol but once that happens it's fine. 2) Given a system running FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, is anything bad gonna happen if I remove a drive from this thing while the system is running, assuming that I have already properly umounted all relevant partitions first? Nothing bad happened to me. 3) Assuming that I want to do this stuff, what BIOS options should I be setting or unsetting on the motherboard? I am unable to check the BIOS settings on that MB (which may be ASrock as well), but I don't believe I had to do anything other hand make sure eSATA was enabled.

Isn't that supposed to be camcontrol today? I've been using SCSI hot swap devices for many years, and they usually required a re-scan of the bus. The same often works for USB-connected devices which also use CAM, and maybe SATA and eSATA also support it today? 2) Given a system running FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, is anything bad gonna happen if I remove a drive from this thing while the system is running, assuming that I have already properly umounted all relevant partitions first? Nothing bad happened to me. Again, it may be nice (to the system) to detach the ATA device from the bus; see man atacontrol (and man camcontrol in comparison) for the proper command to do this. From the electrical point of view, there should be no problem. 3) Assuming that I want to do this stuff, what BIOS options should I be setting or unsetting on the motherboard? I am unable to check the BIOS settings on that MB (which may be ASrock as well), but I don't believe I had to do anything other hand make sure eSATA was enabled. The only thing that might be worth looking at in the CMOS setup would be the method of the driver, making the device come up as da0 (for example) or ada0, depending if EHCI or XHCI can be selected. But I assume this only applies to USB devices (and maybe Firewire). SATA should work fine with the default settings. -- 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

I don't there there is any difference between SATA and eSATA above the physical layer. I'm not sure what that setting would do. You do need to set the SATA channel to AHCI. Note that this may require Windows to be updated if it's on a the same drive or if it's on a a group of channels that's switched collectively. ___ 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: ZFS mirror install /mnt is empty
On May 14, 2013, at 12:10 AM, Shane Ambler free...@shaneware.biz wrote: When it comes to disk compression I think people overlook the fact that it can impact on more than one level. Compression has effects at multiple levels: 1) CPU resources to compress (and decompress) the data 2) Disk space used 3) I/O to/from disks The size of disks these days means that compression doesn't make a big difference to storage capacity for most people and 4k blocks mean little change in final disk space used. The 4K block issue is *huge* if the majority of your data is less than 4K files. It is also large when you consider that a 5K file will not occupy 8K on disk. I am not a UFS on FreeBSD expert, but UFS on Solaris uses a default block size of 4K but has a fragment size of 1K. So files are stored on disk with 1K resolution (so to speak). By going to a 4K minimum block size you are forcing all data up to the next 4K boundary. Now, if the majority of your data is in large files (1MB or more), then the 4K minimum black size probably gets lost in the noise. The other factor is the actual compressibility of the data. Most media files (JPEG, MPEG, GIF, PNG, MP3, AAC, etc.) are already compressed and trying to compress them again is not likely to garner any real reduction inn size. In my experience with the default compression algorithm (lzjb), even uncompressed audio files (.AIFF or .WAV) do not compress enough to make the CPU overhead worthwhile. One thing people seem to miss is the fact that compressed files are going to reduce the amount of data sent through the bottle neck that is the wire between motherboard and drive. While a 3k file compressed to 1k still uses a 4k block on disk it does (should) reduce the true data transferred to disk. Given a 9.1 source tree using 865M, if it compresses to 400M then it is going to reduce the time to read the entire tree during compilation. This would impact a 32 thread build more than a 4 thread build. If the data does not compress well, then you get hit with the CPU overhead of compression to no bandwidth or space benefit. How compressible is the source tree ? [Not a loaded question, I haven't tried to compress it] While it is said that compression adds little overhead, time wise, Compression most certainly DOES add overhead in terms of time, based on the speed of your CPU and how busy your system is. My home server is an HP Proliant Micro with a dual core AMD N36 running at 1.3 GHz. Turning on compression hurts performance *if* I am getting less than 1.2:1 compression ratio (5 drive RAIDz2 of 1TB Enterprise disks). Above that the I/O bandwidth reduction due to the compression makes up for the lost CPU cycles. I have managed servers where each case prevailed… CPU limited so compression hurt performance and I/O limited where compression helped performance. it is going to take time to compress the data which is going to increase latency. Going from a 6ms platter disk latency to a 0.2ms SSD latency gives a noticeable improvement to responsiveness. Adding compression is going to bring that back up - possibly higher than 6ms. Interesting point. I am not sure of the data flow through the code to know if compression has a defined latency component, or is just throughput limited by CPU cycles to do the compression. Together these two factors may level out the total time to read a file. One question there is whether the zfs cache uses compressed file data therefore keeping the latency while eliminating the bandwidth. Data cached in the ZFS ARC or L2ARC is uncompressed. Data sent via zfs send / zfs receive is uncompressed; there had been talk of an option to send / receive compressed data, but I do not think it has gone anywhere. Personally I have compression turned off (desktop). My thought is that the latency added for compression would negate the bandwidth savings. For a file server I would consider turning it on as network overhead is going to hide the latency. Once again, it all depends on the compressibility of the data, the available CPU resources, the speed of the CPU resources, and the I/O bandwidth to/from the drives. Note also that RAIDz (RAIDz2, RAIDz3) have their own computational overhead, so compression may be a bigger advantage in this case than in the case of a mirror, as the RAID code will have less data to process after being compressed. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ___ 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

I can confirm that PostgreSQL will not run in a jail without sysvipc
enabled, I just setup a jail running PostgreSQL a few weeks ago and had
to do that as well. PostgreSQL will not start without it enabled,
though perhaps there is some setting change in PostgreSQL that will make
it not require this. In my case its the only jail, and I am the only
user with access to both the base system and the jail so I wasn't to
concerned about it allowing more access to the base system from the
jail.

Asking _someone_else_ to rummage through a megabyte-plus of log because you

Ifi, on the other hand, you _don't_know_how_ to recognize an error message

You should not be worried about the license. Just follow it. The license grants you several rights, and as long as you comply with the license, there is no problem deriving a new OS from FreeBSD.

I'm guessing that that can't be correct, because ada0 is an actual drive. So what is the device id for the bus itself? With camcontrol devlist, you can get a list that will show you what devices have been recognized and how the bus:unit:lun corresponds to the device files.

From the electrical point of view, there should be no problem. I am a firm believer in being nice. I just need to know the proper command. Would that be camcontrol stop foo ? Yes. You can use the start and stop commands like the attach and detach commands for atacontrol. Additionally, you can use tur for test (if) unit (is) ready, and readcap to print the capabilities. Also reset and rescan are helpful. See man camcontrol for details about what those commands do, and how to properly call them.

Re: List Spam Filtering
On 05/12/13 22:04, Rich Kulawiec wrote: 1. Restricting mailing lists to subscribers only has been a best practice since the last century. It's a very good anti-spam tactic. 2. However, doing so -- for a list run via Mailman, like this one -- does not pose a significant impediment for non-subscribers. By default, Mailman will hold traffic from non-subscribers for list-owner approval. Provided the list-owners check that queue periodically and have reasonable spam-spotting abilities, this works beautifully. 3. Note that Mailman, as part of that same mechanism, allows list-owners to add non-subscribers to a list of those permitted to send traffic to the list without approval. This feature is probably more often used to allow traffic from alternative addresses for subscribers, e.g., someone is subscribed as f...@example.com but sends occasionally from f...@example.net. But it can just as easily be used for non-subscribers if the list-owners so choose. 4. List-owners may also find it useful to keep track of which spammers repeatedly attempt to abuse the list and block them at the MTA -- which has the desirable side effect of blocking them from ALL lists. I do this on a user/host/domain/network basis, and it's proven itself to be worth the effort. So: setting the subscribers-only flag on Mailman has major advantages, at the cost of additional work on the part of list-owners -- which can be mitigated in part across all lists by making changes to the MTA. I'm a big fan of _not_ having to subscribe to a list to get a quick hand with a one off problem (obviously not this one!)- otherwise too many lists get subscribed to, oodles of messages come in which you can't do anything about and so forth (so its not simply just a matter of subscribe, unsubscribe as noted). Unfortunately, many see it as a spam filter and thereby abuse it. How often do you need help with an issue with libreoffice, mozilla whatever, or other application? And yet subscription is compulsory and a ton of messages (devs convs mostly) come flooding in within minutes. Aside from all that, the last suggestion (4) should be possible using some simple filtering without the need to change the subscription parameters. It could be possible to even do it automatically saving further work on a list-owner. I admit the spam is getting worse, but there are still many more users sending who would like try before they buy - or subscribe. FreeBSD is an OS, yes, but it does give users options and freedom; and although many are willing to give up their freedom because it is *appears* safer, they tend to have serious regrets in the light of day. Better to find a way to maintain the freedom (and minimise the overheads required for oversight) through other measures. ___ 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
Connecting EFTPOS terminals to FreeBSD
I have a client looking for a POS system and they need to be able to connect an EFTPOS terminal (credit/debit card terminal) to obtain data for transactions from. Has anyone here had any experience with this? I'm used to servers and such, but the goal here is to use a CRM (vTiger or such) with ERP/POS, and the server is in a room and the POS terminal in another (naturally). It currently works with a very basic accounts package running on Winblows, and the aim is to have a web based POS system (or similar) for online/instore transactions, with a secure EFTPOS terminal just at the front desk. Ideally we want to be able to use any web enabled system to be able to dropped in for quick deployment to use as a POS system and maintenance is kept to the server backend. My research so far has dragged up a lot of Winblows only solutions, and some IP based ones. I'm wondering how hard it is to get a serial connection working for linux/BSD to the EFT terminal? Or if that is even a consideration at all if it needs to communicate to a web based POS system- does that mean it has to IP based to communicate directly with the server itself? If anyone has some dev material (or links to such) would be handy as well- I need to get a far better picture of all this.
