Re: mount_smbfs and Kerberos
Sorry for the necro post.. but the source on mount_smbfs definitely has kerberos options.. http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/smb/smb-431.2/mount_smbfs/mount_smbfs.c mount_smbfs on OSX seems to have Kerberos support, does mount_smbfs on FreeBSD support Kerberos? No, but if it's in Darwin, it shouldn't be that hard to port (although some parts of CIFS seem to be trailing quite a bit). To be honest, I don't see anything about Kerberos in the man pages I have available for Darwin. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area [url]http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/[/url] ___ 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 highly doubt you actually want to enable this, but you can if you adjust the FS when it isn't mounted eg boot from fixit cd. At any rate, we are in the year 2010, most modern operating systems and databases and able to survive an unclean shutdown without booting into single user mode and file system/data corruption. FreeBSD has defaulted to background checking on SU FS's for the better part of 10 years. What version are you running? What data corruption did you have and what does databases have to do with it? Also DB's that are unexpectly killed can have consistency problems regardless of what FS it writes to and OS happens to be running it. I love FreeBSD, and have been a user since 2.x User as in you saw it running a couple times? So on to your actual issue instead of all the bs, what does your /etc/rc.conf say? Specifically, what is the boot failing on? If you really want the disk/partition/slice journaled, you can do so with gjournal or ZFS offers an even better copy-on-write system.

Even with SoftUpdates and journaling you'll find UFS doesn't cope well with unclean shutdowns: to test it, a couple of weeks ago I started a rm -rf /usr/obj/* and pressed the reset button - upon startup I got dumped into single-user mode with a softupdates inconsistency.

Is this an unavoidable event of some sort? If this is a timed event, that happens on a regular basis, then you should be able to issue a timed shutdown prior to that so that the operating system goes down cleanly. Any file system that is taken down abruptly, repeatedly will see degradation. Databases and open files, not to mention any data that is being written from/to the hard disk are all meant to be taken down and cleared out properly.

If I attempt to connect back to my internal network using any TCP protocol, the 3 way handshake completes, and I get a few packets of data. Then the connection drops. Both sides try to retransmit. But to no avail. Funny enough, it works fine if you are directly connected to the internet, or through a linksys DSL router. However, through some other corporate networks, the connection drops after the first few packets of data. I have tried scrub in max-mss 700 scrub out max-mss 700 and even scrub in max-mss 250 scrub out max-mss 250 to no avail.

Re: Active Directory server on 6-STABLE ?
I have OpenLDAP running on FreeBSD 6.x. Simple, effective and reliable. You can do the same with Active Directory, but you will need Windows 2003. Msg me offlist if you want to talk about it more.

Greetings Mauricio, I have gotten this problem lots o times with new installs of FreeBSD. SSH times out trying to do a reverse lookup on the IP connecting to it. This is not a FreeBSD problem but an OpenSSH issue(not really an issue). My solution has always been to point the FreeBSD machine to an internal DNS server that has both the FreeBSD machine and the client's name-IP address mapping in DNS. So check your /etc/resolv.conf and see what entries you are using. If you are using 127.0.0.1 and you don't have DNS running locally then that can be your problem.

It is basically two or more physical servers connected to the same storage subsystem where data only resides. Traditionally the application executables reside on the servers themselves, facilitating what is known as a rolling upgrade. Since you probably don't have a shared disk or SAN you can do this by using geom on FreeBSD or iSCSI on linux/Windoze. This type of cluster is typical for database applications. The second type of cluster is load balanced where multiple machines share a logical IP Address and distribute the load evenly or unevenly between them. You can use carp for IP sharing and rsync for data synch. This is typically used for web servers, dns etc.. where data is minimal, auto replicated(as in DNS) or static. This is practical in your environment since you can actually put these machines to good use. The third type of cluster is the distributed cluster using MPI or PVM etc. This is typically used for distributing load in computational problems. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arden Sent: November 15, 2005 9:16 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: makings of a junk yard cluster ?? Hi Folk like most people involved in IT you tend to build you a junk yard of redundant machines Ive just been through mine and found could at a push make 5 x86 PCs 2x amd 400mhz 2x via 700mhz 1x amd duron 1200 also have lots of spare nic cards Ive never looked at clusters before and this is just for fun (must have way to much time on my hands) :) So I need to know would it be possible to build a cluster from these ? I'm not sure if the nodes need to be matched in any way ? dose anyone know where to find an idiots to setting one up ? also what would the equivelent power be i.e would i just be making a 1gig space heater ?

RE: BGL
I love FreeBSD. I have been using it since 2.x. I have never had any problems with it. Rock Solid. Never a single kernel panic. Then I come across this article in a comparison between Linux and FreeBSD saying that FreeBSD has kernel locking issues. Specifically, a problem nicknamed BGL or Big Giant Lock. It seems that it affects SMP systems under high load. How much do other OSes suffer from this? -Original Message- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 30, 2005 4:46 PM To: Ansar Mohammed Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: BGL On Thu, Sep 29, 2005 at 10:09:17PM -0400, Ansar Mohammed wrote: Is the kernel locking issue with FreeBSD 4.x sorted out in 5.x? I can't seem to get a proper answer. Perhaps because the above isn't a proper question? Yes, the BGL was pushed down a lot in FreeBSD 5. It still covers some parts of the kernel (less in 6), so if can be more precise about a specific locking issue then perhaps we can give a more precise answer.

RE: Reccomendations for FC-attached storage appliance?
In a practical sense if a fiber channel card fails on a server, you'd probably want to fail over the cluster to the second node until you resolved the issue. Redundant HBAs require multipath software for the server to properly load balance or fail over the disk IO. If you are considering this level of availability it really comes down to a very limited number of companies, EMC, HP/Compaq or IBM in the PC world. There are many workgroup solutions available, but with workgroup solutions, come workgroup support. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Howard Sent: September 21, 2005 2:13 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reccomendations for FC-attached storage appliance? [NOTE: cross-posting to freebsd-scsi and -questions ... please reply direct to me, or followup to just ONE list. I may post summary after.] Hello, I have spent the past few weeks confusing around with different vendors to find a cool external disk solution that might offer high performance, and high availability for our production database. My questio is two-fold: 1) Would anyone like to share a preferred storage solution? My dream is something where I can connect two FC controllers to two FreeBSD servers. If one controller fails, or if one server fails, I can still mount the same disks via the redundant server or controller. It sounds like most solutions have the disks on one controller or the other, so if a controller fails, the disks are inaccessible until you swap out the failed controller. The Applex Xserve RAID comes to mind. 2) Would anyone like to share a preferred HBA? I am constantly frustrated by suggested solutions because it seems that every disk appliance only ever supports one HBA. For example, the Apple ... only supports LSI7202XP. My research has found zero evidence that this is supported by FreeBSD. So, if that wont work, I should just run Linux? Or has someone stress-tested their favorite HBA and found it to be totally robust in some configuration ... ? Thanks a bunch!
