mail/claws-mail: INBOX shows still moved or deleted mails, filtering not working properly
After a struggle with OpenLDAP and Thunderbird (core dumps all over the place when using Thunderbird with OpenLDAP backed users), I moved to Evolution, which is unsatisfying, since calendar function immediately makes Evolution crahs on all tested FreeBSD platforms (9.1-STABLE, 10.0-CURRENT). I tried mail/claws-mail for now and I'm surprised how cryptic and fast an email client can be, but I also have serious struggles with this email client. When fetch and filtering Emails from the account of our computer center's IMPA4 mail servers, the moved and even deleted emails remain visible (but greyished) in the INBOX or any other folder and marked deleted. Filtered and filter induced moves of mails also are greyed, still visible in the main INBOX of the email account but marked with the flag for new mail in INBOX. I can not delete them from INBOX. This behaviour is odd. I searched Grand Master Google for that and found relatively old bug reports about such behaviour, but that should be solved. I exclude misconfigurations, since I already configured those immediate actions as recommended. Nor Evolution nor thunderbird show that weird behaviour and they operate as expected on all mail actions. Maybe someone could give me a hint what to check. Personally, I consider this behaviour a bug and renders another email client unusable on FreeBSD, but I might be terribly wrong here and still suffer from a configuration inconvenience. Please CC me, I'm no subscriber of both lists.

using ports or gems (easy_install)
Hi everybody, I would like to known how you manage your gem (ruby) or easyinstall (python). Do you use ports ? or directly gems or easyinstall ? or both ? For exemple when you want install some software with lots of dependances you can use (if the software use easy_install) just one easy_install and everything is installed, you can use ports for some packages but sometime not every packages are in the ports so you should need to installed it through easy_install. After that same question about updating So what you do ? And why ? Regards.

Generally speaking, a separate /etc partition is A Bad Thing(TM), and a sign you're doing things wrong. However, nanobsd does (partially) separate /etc out, and it does so using /etc/rc.initdiskless and its early (pre-rc) mounting code. Take a look at rc.initdiskless and the nanobsd code in /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh if you really want to go down this route. -- In the dungeons of Mordor, Sauron bred Orcs with LOLcats to create a new race of servants.

[Typo corrected.]
Why do you need this strange detachment anyway?
Backups? Snapshots?
thanks guys,
you know i have a server and change my pwd files most of the time. i
want to safe my server, so i prefer to mount my root read-only and
because of changes in pwd files, i should mount /etc read-write.
therefore i want to separate my /etc from root.
moreover, if i want to enable journaling on /etc, i should unmount it
(journaling cannot been set for root partition).
To enable journaling, i.e. soft updates, for the root filesystem, do
the exact following:
1. Reboot into single user mode.
2. Run /sbin/tunefs -j enable /dev/ada0pX
3. Issue the reboot command.
now, do you have any suggestion for my status? how can i mount /etc
partition at boot time?
As I said earlier in this thread you need a mechanism for mounting
/etc prior to running the startup scripts.
OK, here's a more detailed list than the previous one, assuming the
root filesystem is currently mounted read-write:
1. Create and edit the file /fake-rc, giving it this contents (the
next 3 lines):
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/ada0pX /etc
exec /etc/rc $*
2. Don't forget to substitute the right device file corresponding to
the /etc filesystem.
3. Let /fake-rc be executable: chmod a+x /fake-rc
4. Go to single user mode. I'm still assuming the _root_ filesystem is
mounted read-write. Please ensure it is.
5. Unmount /etc.
6. Let /etc/rc be a symbolic link to /fake-rc, by issuing the command:
/bin/ln -s /fake-rc /etc/rc
7. Remount /etc manually, i.e. mount /dev/ada0pX /etc
8. Make the necessary changes to /etc/fstab so that the root file
system is never mounted read-write during startup.
9. Reboot the system and observe to see if the behaviour is the
desired one.
Remember this, because this is important:
When the system boots, init(8) fires up a shell to execute the
commands contained in (the real) /etc/rc.
At boot only the _root_ file system is mounted, thus you need a
mechanism to mount /etc ahead of normal startup and pass whatever
arguments the fake /etc/rc was invoked with on to the real /etc/rc.
This is what you would accomplish by erecting /etc/rc on the _root_
filesystem as a symlink to the fake /fake-rc, also on the _root_
filesystem. The fake /fake-rc takes care of mounting /etc at startup
and resuming running the startup scripts by executing the real
/etc/rc, now that the /etc filesystem is finally mounted (read-write).
Use this opportunity to really learn how FreeBSD behaves during
startup and what its expectations

mlx4_core0@pci0:0:5:0: class=0x028000 card=0x005015b3 chip=0x100315b3
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Mellanox Technologies'
device = 'MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]'
class = network
I want to create Bond on the two ports (ib0 and ib1) of this device:

1. Is there bond in FreeBSD or its Lagg?
It's lagg. Setting up bonded interfaces is different (Anthony C. or someone
else can provide more details about this). failover mode via lagg is
completely different from failover mode with IB IIRC.
2. I tried to create this way, but failed:
[root@qa-h-vrt-030-006 ~]# ifconfig lagg0 create
root@qa-h-vrt-031-005 conf]# ifconfig lagg0 laggproto failover laggport
ib0 laggport ib1
ifconfig: SIOCSLAGGPORT: Protocol not supported
Any ideas?
Is it supported on Infiniband ports?
The media setting pieces are look to only be supported with mlx4 in en mode:
1076 static int mlx4_en_ioctl(struct ifnet *dev, u_long command, caddr_t
data)
1077 {
...
1115 case SIOCGIFMEDIA:
1116 error = ifmedia_ioctl(dev, ifr, priv-media, command);
1117 break;
If I remember correctly, IB ports with mlx4 default to ib mode, not en mode
(it also helps to have the right drivers loaded for this).
Cheers,
-Garrett

pfctl and verbosely listing tables not giving full output on 9.x
On some of my older systems, I try and view some tables verbosely as the manual describes: We can now use the table show command to output, for each address and packet direction, the number of packets and bytes that are being passed or blocked by rules referencing the table. The time at which the current accounting started is also shown with the ``Cleared'' line. # pfctl -t test -vTshow 129.128.5.191 Cleared: Thu Feb 13 18:55:18 2003 In/Block:[ Packets: 0Bytes: 0] In/Pass: [ Packets: 10 Bytes: 840 ] Out/Block: [ Packets: 0Bytes: 0] Out/Pass:[ Packets: 10 Bytes: 840 ] and I get what I would expect when I issue the command: # uname -r 8.3-RELEASE-p3 # pfctl -t spam -vTshow No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 61.156.238.56 Cleared: Mon May 27 16:06:03 2013 In/Block:[ Packets: 23 Bytes: 1673 ] In/Pass: [ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] Out/Block: [ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] Out/Pass:[ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] 101.44.1.135 Cleared: Tue May 28 11:14:23 2013 In/Block:[ Packets: 21 Bytes: 1520 ] In/Pass: [ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] Out/Block: [ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] Out/Pass:[ Packets: 0 Bytes: 0 ] All of my newer systems seem to not be showing me the data I expect: # uname -rm 9.1-RELEASE-p3 amd64 # pfctl -t spam -vTshow No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 46.21.161.37 Cleared: Tue May 14 10:37:11 2013 46.29.248.152 Cleared: Sat May 25 03:47:26 2013 46.165.236.153 Cleared: Tue May 14 06:12:05 2013 [...] # uname -rm 9.1-RELEASE i386 # pfctl -t spam -vTshow No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 1.235.138.249 Cleared: Sat Apr 27 19:55:15 2013 27.50.140.140 Cleared: Fri Apr 26 13:43:11 2013 31.3.245.178 Cleared: Tue Apr 30 19:30:29 2013 [...] # uname -rm 9.1-RELEASE amd64 # pfctl -t spam -vTshow No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled 46.29.248.152 Cleared: Sat May 25 03:49:12 2013 50.73.11.52 Cleared: Wed May 22 01:57:10 2013 61.132.228.240 Cleared: Sun May 19 23:46:07 2013 Can anyone confirm similar behaviour on their systems, or has anyone even tried?

Re: swap partition leads to instability?
Follow up comment. It has been pointed out to me that there is Varnish software taking advantage of system VMM and swap space. Well, there are cache-oblivious algorithms that perform as well, and so they make the above (disk access model; cache-aware model) unnecessary (obsolete ?) and are superior in their generality. jb ___ 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

Note that such cache-oblivious algorithms cannot be trivially applied to any problem. Also, properly written cache-oblivious algorithms tend to recursively decompose the problem until it is small enough to fit in a cache and solve each part iteratively. The improvement effect can be noticed on large inputs. These algorithms will most probably perform quite badly on small inputs. jb ___ 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 ___ 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

That he objected to the thought of the server swapping on an SSD (or whereever), more than the idea of having the partition itself? If you're heavily swapping on an SSD with no redundancy, sooner or later it will kill your server. Generally though, havin too little memory will also give issues. ;) I usually recommend viewing swap like you view filesystems. If you don't want downtime or dataloss when it dies, plan for failiure, and use gmirror or zfs mirror and zvol.

openvpn and tap device
Hi all! I installed openvpn (I use it like client).

BSD sleep
Hi. Is there no built-in way of making sleep sleep in increments of minutes, hours, etc? The GNU sleep can be invoked like sleep 1h for an hour. The FreeBSD one's manpage leads me to believe we can only use seconds, which is kind of annoying. Is there an undocmented or missing feature here? Seems really trivial to implement. ~ $ sleep 1h usage: sleep seconds ___ 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: using ports or gems (easy_install)
Albert, I would like to known how you manage your gem (ruby) or easyinstall (python). Do you use ports ? or directly gems or easyinstall ? or both ? As far as I can, I use ports, for consistency. Me too. But what you do when you cannot ? (Like the ports don't exist) ? I see three possibility : 1/ write the ports (unfortunately not for me) 2/ wait until someone does (many time it's impossible) 3/ use easy_install or gem I use the solution 3 (cpan in the case of Perl). Best regards, olivier But I am using mostly Perl and CPAN is very well integrated in FreeBSD ports. Yes much better than ruby or python.
