Re: HPN, nonecipher in 8.4

[Johan Hendriks]

Op dinsdag 10 september 2013 schreef javocado (javoc...@gmail.com):

 I have some questions about HPN and ssh, specifically:

 - does 8.4-RELEASE have HPN ssh built in by default?

 - if the only reason I ever installed openssh-portable port was to get HPN,
 is there any reason to add that port anymore on 8.4?

 - if I would like to still use nonecipher, what is the easiest way to get
 it, given a stock, standard 8.4-RELEASE install?

 Thanks


You need to set the following in /etc/src.conf for the nonecipher
 *WITH**_**OPENSSH**_**NONE**_**CIPHER=yes*

I think there is an option to rebuild only the ssh stuff without a whole
buildworld.
I do not know how however.

Man src.conf give you some more hints on this

 At any rate, I'm building a rather large 100+TB NAS using ZFS.

 This is more of a best practices q.


 ZFS has data integrity checking, gmirror has low RAM overhead.
 gmirror is, at present, restricted to MBR partitioning due to
 metadata conflicts with GPT, so 2TB is the maximum size.

 Best practices... depends on your use.  gmirror for the system
 leaves more RAM for ZFS.


 Perfect, thanks Warren.

 Just what I was looking for.


 I doubt that you would save any ram having the os on a non-zfs drive as
 you will already be using zfs chances are that non-zfs drives would only
 increase ram usage by adding a second cache. zfs uses it's own cache
 system and isn't going to share it's cache with other system managed
 drives. I'm not actually certain if the system cache still sits above
 zfs cache or not, I think I read it bypasses the traditional drive cache.

 For zfs cache you can set the max usage by adjusting vfs.zfs.arc_max
 that is a system wide setting and isn't going to increase if you have
 two zpools.

 Tip: set the arc_max value - by default zfs will use all physical ram
 for cache, set it to be sure you have enough ram left for any services
 you want running.

 Have you considered using one or both SSD drives with zfs? They can be
 added as cache or log devices to help performance.
 See man zpool under Intent Log and Cache Devices.

  I agree with the sentiment of using the SSD as ZFS cache - it's possibly
 the only logical use for them.

 I guess that with 100Tb worth of Winchesters you're not on a very tight
 budget, and not too tight on RAM for the OS either. If I was going to do
 this I'd stick with the OS on UFS and a gmirror because I simply don't
 trust ZFS. This is based on pure prejudice and inexperience.

 I know how to arrange disks on a UNIX file system for performance - what
 to use for swap, where tmp files should go and so on. I also know where
 every file will be, physically, in the event of trouble. And here's the
 clincher: If the machine blows up I can simply take one of the mirrored
 drives, slap it in to some new hardware and I've got a very reasonable
 chance that it'll boot. Can I do this with ZFS? I get the feeling that the
 answer is an emphatic maybe.

 So all things considered, I'd need a good reason not to stick with what I
 know works reliably and can be recovered in the event of a disaster (UFS),
 but I'm happy to watch and learn from everyone else's experience!


I would us a zfs for the os.
I have a couple of servers that did not survive a power failure with
gmirror.
The problems i had was when the power failed one disk was in a rebuilding
state and then when the background fsck started or was busy for some time
it would crash the whole server.
Removing the disk that was rebuilding resolved the issue.
This happened to me more than once.
Most of the times it worked as advertised but not always.

Before people tell me to use an UPS, i used a UPS but the damn thing gave
way itself.
Then after it came back from the warranty repair it gave way again.
Some times it came back right away, leaving some servers survive and some
in the state they where.
It was hard to find the cause in the beginning because of the fact some
servers did survive the power failure.
We did not suspect the UPS at first.

Anyway, gmirror did not work for me in all cases.
I am now running a few servers with a zfs root.
I did not have any problems with them till now (knock on wood).
Since reading that swap on zfs root can cause trouble i have a separate
freebsd-swap partition for the swap.

Johan

 Well, don't do that.  :-)


When the server reboots because of a powerfailure at night, then it boots.
Then it starts to rebuild the mirror on its own, and later the fsck kicks
in.

Not much i can do about it.

Maybe i should have done it without the automatic attachment for a new
device.





 Seriously, bring up the box on one disk, force a foreground fsck if needed
 to get the filesystem to known clean state, and then rebuild the mirror.
 Mixing the mirror rebuild with something like an fsck will just thrash the
 disks.

There was a security issue and therefor there are no packages for 9.1


Due to the security incident reported here:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html

only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is available at 
this time for users who require pre-built packages (just GNOME and KDE 
windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's package building 
infrastructure is undergoing a complete review and redesign. At this 
time we can not commit to a date the full release package set will 
become available. A separate announcement will be made when that becomes 
available. If you wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own 
packages using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then 
build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you should wait 
for the announcement of the full release package set becoming available.


FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several 
vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 9.1-based 
products is:

Well it is simpel, just use pkg_add -r apache mysql php  and so on.
It will install the packages without compiling.
BUT we can not tell you which php modules you need.
So it could be that you later on need php-gd or some other option.
Then pkg_add -r php-module name will install the missing module.
You could install all the php modules, but i think (know) it is not wise 
to do so.

Re: svn checkout head or stable

[Johan Hendriks]

Ed Flecko schreef:

My goal is to simply have a production server that's fully patched,
but I will be running custom kernels (which is why I'm not using
freebsd-update). I've seen a lot of subversion references to checking
out the head branch and the stable branch.

I understand the head branch is the most current, so that's the same
as the current branch, right?

If I understand correctly, most people will not follow the current
branch for production servers.

My goal is to have all of the files I need to rebuild my kernel and my
system after security updates have been released, therefore I should
do something like:



svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/stable/9 /usr/ports

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/stable/9 /usr/doc

This will give me everything I need to recompile and have a fully
patched system, right?



I do not make changes to the src, ports, or doc directories. From that
point forward, as new security patches are released, I can simply:

svn up /usr/src

svn up /usr/ports

svn up /usr/doc

and once again rebuild my kernel and system.



Does this sound correct?

It sounds correct but is not :D

If you use svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src then you 
are tracking stable.

Stable is a not a release that receives patches.
Stable receives code from head(current) that has been tested in 
Current(head), but did not get real exposure in the stable branch which 
is now 9.

Stable is the code that is altered between releases.
So Stable might contain some bugs from head that are only exposed in the 
current code base.


So if you want a production system which only receive patches you need 
to track release.

svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src

To sum it up:   (please correct me if i am wrong)

So for the latest and greatest use head which is FreeBSD 10 Current
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head /usr/src

If you want the stable branch use
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
This will give you FreeBSD 9 Stable

If you want to track release with patches use
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src
This will give you FreeBSD 9.1-px where px is the patch level if any.

I hope this clearify things a little bit

Re: Synchronising jails

[Johan Hendriks]

 
 Hey Everyone,
 
 I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I
 would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an
 example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case
 build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail
 into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned
 here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff
 happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I
 would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer
 is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just
 the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume
 nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy
 so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can
 immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. 
 
 Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the
 aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a
 jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, I am under the impression
 that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some
 light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?  
 
 
 Regards,

Maybe you can store your jails on a per jail zfs filesystem.
Then use zfs send/receive to send the incremental changes to the remote machine.

If you do not want to use stable, you could try to import the diff to 
your release src yourself.

The only change then is the mfi driver, the rest is just release.

But stable is not that bad to run, i know many people that run a stable 
release, just for this kind of things.

Many people runs 8.2 Stable for the latest ZFS version.

This would seem to be similar to discussions in November which 
eventually led to JHB committing change in r227580 (and perhaps 
earlier).


I have downloaded the sources for 9.0-RELEASE and it looks like this 
commit did not get back-ported to the release branch.


I'm a bit of a noob with FreeBSD.  The instructions for tracking 
FreeBSD-STABLE seem a bit scary.  Is that the only way that I would 
get the necessary fixes for the mfi driver?  (Indeed, would I get 
those on FreeBSD stable?)

If you do not want to use stable, you could try to import the diff to 
your release src yourself.

The only change then is the mfi driver, the rest is just release.

But stable is not that bad to run, i know many people that run a 
stable release, just for this kind of things.

Many people runs 8.2 Stable for the latest ZFS version.

Sorry replying to myself.
Here you can download the raw diff at the end of the page.
http://freshbsd.org/commit/freebsd/r227580

Well here is the link http://freshbsd.org/commit/freebsd/r227580/diff.txt

So you can patch your own source.
I do not know if it apply's cleanly, if not, maybe jhb knows why then.

Re: gpart, modified label does not show up in /dev/gpt.

[Johan Hendriks]

Peter schreef:

Hello all.

I just installed FreeBSD 9.0 RC2 and upgraded to 9.0 RC3.

I used the standard GPT disk layout at install.

Now i want to set labels for my disk, so that i can swap around disks a
little more easy.
So reading through the man page it told me to use gpart modify -i -l

The layout is as follows:
test# gpart status
   Name  Status  Components
da0p1  OK  da0
da0p2  OK  da0
da0p3  OK  da0

test# gpart list | grep label
 label: (null)
 label: (null)
 label: (null)

Now i modified the gpart labels.

test# gpart modify -i1 -l bootpart da0
da0p1 modified
test# gpart modify -i2 -l rootpart da0
da0p2 modified
test# gpart modify -i3 -l swap da0
da0p3 modified

Ok all looks fine.
Now lets see if i can use my labels

test# cd /dev/gpt
/dev/gpt: No such file or directory.

Well it does not create my labels
I did check if the labels where there

test# gpart list | grep label
 label: bootpart
 label: rootpart
 label: swap

So i rebooted the machine!
But after a reboot, still no /dev/gpt.

So why is it not creating my labels!
Am i missing a step?

Thanks for your time.

And before i forget, merry christmas to all, and a wonderful 2012.

I was going to say if you mount /dev/da0p? its /dev/gpt/label disappears,
and since all the partition are mounted already [/dev/gpt/ is empty], then
/dev/gpt is maybe also removed...but /dev/gpt/bootpart is not mounted
and should still show up.


When you ran the 'gpart' commands, did you set the sysctl geom debug
variable? [sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=17]
After the reboot, are the labels still there? [gpart list | grep label]

]Peter[


I placed some other disk in (for the zfs pool)
Now i have /dev/gpt/bootpart, but not the labels for swap and /
I did not use the sysctl value.

And yes the labels are stil in place.

test# cd /dev/gpt
test# ls -al
total 1
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  512 Dec 23 20:02 .
dr-xr-xr-x  10 root  wheel  512 Dec 23 21:02 ..
crw-r-   1 root  operator0, 123 Dec 23 20:02 bootpart
test# gpart list | grep label
   label: bootpart
   label: rootpart
   label: swap
test#

I will try the debugflag option.
But it should not be nessacary i guess.

If you have already mounted a /dev/da0p?, its label is removed from
/dev/gpt - 'bootpart' is never mounted, that is why it's label remains.
you just have to change /etc/fstab to the /dev/gpt/labels and then they
will remain and get mounted - Or boot from a DVD, don't mount anything and
you'll see the labels.

ie:
If you mount '/dev/da0p2'as '/' then '/dev/gpt/rootpart' will no longer be
available, same goes for swap and everything else.  If you mount
'dev/gpt/rootpart' as '/', the you'll have both '/dev/da0p2' and
'/dev/gpt/bootpart'

]Peter[



Thanks that solved it. !!
because i did not see them in /dev/gpt i did not change the /etc/fstab 
file to the appropiate config.

I thought if they are not there, then i can not use them.
Wrong assumption !!!
I edited /etc/fstab to mount /dev/gpt/rootpart on / and /dev/gpt/swap on 
swap, and the machine booted like it should.

Also the gpt entries are now there!

Thanks again!

Merry cristmas !!!

Re: carp(4) on FreeBSD 8.2

Colleagues,

Are there any success stories or known issues with carp(4) on FreeBSD
8.2? I have configured a carp interface:

router1# ifconfig le0
le0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST  metric 0 mtu 
1500
 options=8VLAN_MTU
 ether 08:00:27:aa:6a:bd

 inet 10.14.134.99 netmask 0xfe00
 carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
router1#

But for some reason I can ping 10.14.135.88, but cannot ping
10.14.134.99. There seem to be ARP responses however:

$ arp -an | grep 10.14.134.99
? (10.14.134.99) at 00:00:5e:00:01:01 on re0 [ethernet]

This looks like a VRRP MAC address for sure. And this MAC address is
present in the switch forwarding table:
Core5sh mac-address-table  | i .5e00.0101
1.5e00.0101DYNAMIC Fa0/18

What is even more strange, tcpdump on le0 does not even see ICMP echo
requests addressed to 10.14.134.99.

What am I doing wrong?

Can you show your relevant rc.conf settings.
For both master and slave machine, also the relevant sysctl.conf 
settings could help.

Re: Problem with jail network

Hi,

I have been configuring a jail system using the howto provided here :

root@master 16:52:55 ~ -  jls

But I can't ping neither outside of the jail, nor inside of It.

I am a bit confused because I don't know if I have to configure the IP using an 
alias on the main Eth interface, or do something else.


ifconfig_bce0_alias0=inetxx.216.yy.150/32



This last command seems to have frozen my system.


Since I can't reach the network, I can't install ports either… !


Thanks for your help.




Does your jail knows how to reach the router, or for that matter your 
host sytem.

What does a traceroute do.
You need to set some sysctl values to be able to ping or trace route 
from within a jail.

Re: Problems after updating KDE

[Johan Hendriks]

Carmel schreef:

I have had numerous problems after updating to the latest KDE
version. For starters, I lost my desktop and only had a blank (black)
screen when starting up. I did manage to figure out how to correct
that, but numerous other problems exist.

For starters:

1) The (ALT)+(TAB) key no longer works. It doesn't switch between
applications or anything.

2) I lost my desktop configuration completely. I have tried to restore
it but I cannot find a way to add a URL shortcut to the desktop. There
is no option in the menu, or at least none that I can find.

3) I use to use a (CTRL)(ALT)(V) combination to activate the klipper
clipboard. That no longer works. In fact, virtually all of my shortcut
keys have vanished.

To the best of my knowledge I followed the directions in the UPDATINg
file correctly. Portmaster bombed out twice so I had to resort to
using portupgrade to complete the task. This command always fails:

ortmaster -o net/linphone-base ortp

With this error:


===   linphone-base-3.2.1_1,1 conflicts with installed package(s):
   ortp-0.13.0_1


So I guess I will have to delete both packages and start over. I am
just not sure which package to delete.

As i understand things correctly, the ortp port is no longer needed as 
linphone is doing the ortp part.

So you could say ortp has merged into ortp.

deleting ortp is the right choice.

Finally, I just decided that a portupgrade -af would be in my best

How can I fix my system?

I have had this on some systems also.

Deinstall apache22 and your apr program.
pkg_delete apache22 and pkg_delete apr-your-version.

Then install apache22 again.
cd /usr/local/www/apache22
make install clean

It should install your apache22 and the corensponding and working apr 
version.

Peter Harrison.


You can not use gmirror and GPT at the same time on the whole disk.

Both use the same diskspace to write there meta data.
What you can do is to mirror the partitions seperately.
A nice howto you can find here
http://www.unix-heaven.org/node/20

You can recover the GPT, but then the mirror can not load.
if you recreate the mirror after that, the gpt label gets corrupt.

No hope of being able to recover any data then?

I had the same issue, i saw the message of the gpt label, but it just 
booted.

So i never looked at it in detail.
Until i upgraded to 8.2, then it does not boot anymore.
8.2 just did not boot with a corrupted GPT label.
If you repair the label, you can edit the fstab file to use the normal 
filesystems and not the mirrored one.


Then it boot of just one disk, then create the mirrors of the slices as 
stated by the webpage.


If you are not sure, disconnect the second drive before doing anything.
It should be accesable in case things really did go wrong through a live 
cd or something.


So make sure you can boot of a single disk and work on from there.

Johan

These corrupted gpt issue you must try to resolve.
Try the following command
 gpart recover da1

These lor errors appear because you have witness enabled as well as some 
other debugging options.

These debugging and witness options will be disabled as FreeBSD is released.
If you de not want them anymore, rebuild your kernel with the following 
options disabled.
I use my own kernel config file and disable them by setting the nooption 
parameter.


# Debugging disable for use in -current
nooptions   KDB
nooptions   DDB
nooptions   GDB
nooptions   INVARIANTS
nooptions   INVARIANT_SUPPORT
ures, required by INVARIANTS
nooptions   WITNESS
nooptions   WITNESS_SKIPSPIN

There is a webpage which has all these lor's summed up.

http://ipv4.sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor.html

See if your lor is on the list if so, you can leave it like it is, if 
they ar not on the list, notify the current@freebsd list.

Re: FS of choice for max random iops ( Maildir )

[Johan Hendriks]

free...@top-consulting.net schreef:
I have a new server that I would like to use as a back-end Maildir 
storage shared through NFS. The specs are:


FreeBSD 9.0 Beta 2
Xeon x3470 @ 2.93 quad-core CPU
4 GB Ram @ 1333mhz ( upgrading to 12GB tomorrow )
3WARE 9650SE-16LP card with write cache enabled ( battery is installed )
16 x WD RE3 1TB drives
RAID 10 setup

Right now I defined an entire array of 8TB ( all 16 disks ) separated 
in two pieces. 50 GB for FreeBSD to boot and the rest available to 
configure as storage.


I've tried three options for the storage file system but I'm not sure 
which one is the best option since I can't really reproduce production 
conditions. I only ran tests with dd and bonnie and here's what I found:


A. TEST1: dd bs=1024 if=/dev/zero of=/data/t1 count=1M

1. ZFS performed the worst, averaging 67MB/sec
2. UFS + gjournal did around 130MB/sec
3. UFS did around 190MB/sec

B. TEST2 ( random file creation ): bonnie++ -d /data -c 10 -s 0 -n 50 
-u 0


1. UFS + gjournal performed the worst
2. ZFS performed somewhat better
3. UFS performed the best again ( about 50% better )

C. TEST3 ( sequential writing ): bonnie++ -d /data -c 10 -s 8088 -n 0 
-u 0


1. UFS + gjournal crashed the box
2. ZFS performed average
3. UFS performed better than ZFS ( about 50% better )


I really like the concepts behind ZFS and UFS + Journaling but the 
performance hit is quite drastic when compared to UFS.


What I'm looking for here is max IOPS when doing random read/writes. 
Is UFS the best choice for this ? Do my results make sense ?

Did you use raidz1 2 or 3 or mirror for the ZFS ppol.
I believe that ZFS mirror gives you the best performance, but the least 
actual space.


If you did make a raidz[1,2,3] try it with a mirror pool.

Also do not use the raid function of your raid controller if you use 
ZFS, this way you loose the goodies of zfs.

If you setup ZFS use JBOD on the raid controller.

I all ready did  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=2 to wipe the

i now see two different things?
dd if=/del/zero of=/dev/ad0 count=5
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=2

first your disk is adx and the second time it is dax

Make sure you use the right disk.
There is also a part add the end of the disk that needs to be wiped, not 
only the start of the disk.

Sendmail has a lot of command line options that mail.local does not,

Maybe ssmtp is something you can use.
It is in ports, it does get mail out of the system.
I use it on all of my servers so i can receive the cron mails and so on.

Personaly i think sendmail should be replaced by such small mailer.

[Johan Hendriks]

I am trying to set up CARP under 9.0

I want to know if my assumptions are right.

The master is the server with the lowest advskew, and has the state MASTER, as 
where the slave will be in state BACKUP.
If the master fails, the slave will be promoted to MASTER.
If the master comes backup, the Master wil be Master again, and the slave falls 
back to BACKUP.

At least this is what i think should be the case.

I now set up 2 FreeBSD 9.0 Beta1 machines.
One master, and one slave.

/etc/rc.conf on the master

ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.50.40 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.50.150
# CARP
cloned_interfaces=carp0
ifconfig_carp0=vhid 1 advskew 10 pass letmepass 192.168.50.45 netmask 
255.255.255.0

On the slave i have the following in /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.50.41 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.50.150
# CARP
cloned_interfaces=carp0
ifconfig_carp0=vhid 1 advskew 20 pass letmepass 192.168.50.45 netmask 
255.255.255.0

And on bothe machines i set
net.inet.carp.preempt=1

In my assumption, if i raise the advskew value on the master, i could let them 
flip role’s
So doing ifconfig carp0 advskew 30 on the master should change roles.

However it does not happen

Ifconfig on the master
carp0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING metric 0 mtu 1500
inet 192.168.50.45 netmask 0xff00
nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL
carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 30

Ifconfig on the slave
carp0: flags=49UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING metric 0 mtu 1500
inet 192.168.50.45 netmask 0xff00
nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL
carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 20

So even with the higher advskew value the master stays master.

Am i doing something wrong.

RE: Ezjail freebsd-update

[Johan Hendriks]

I had an opportunity to upgrade a server from freebsd 8.1 to 8.2 since
it had to be restarted any way. I upgraded it with freebsd-update and
compiled a custom kernel with no problem. However I haven't been able to
find a procedure for updating jails when they've been setup with ezjail.
I did 'ezjail-admin update -u' however it doesn't seem like that
upgraded things like the /etc/ dir inside jails. I'm not too worried
since everything is working however if anyone can point me in the right
direction I would appreciate it. I figure this will be especially
important when moving to 9.0 when it's released.

I always use ezjail_admin update -i 
Then do the normal mergemaster steps for the jails

mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail
You need to do that for every jail you have

So if you have three jails named jail_1, jail_2 and jail_3, you do this three 
times.

mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail_1
mergemaster -iU -D /your/path/to/jail_2

RE: freebsd-update, fetch once upgrade many machines

[Johan Hendriks]

Hi,

Is it possible to fetch files needed for freebsd-update once and put
them on a local fileserver to update many machines?

The reason for asking is that all these machines are on secure
networks and are not allowed to have Internet access but can all
access a common fileserver (using FTP, HTTP, SSH but not NFS).

I can safely assume that all these machines run the same version of
FreeBSD, installed from binary distributions, GENERIC kernel and only
upgraded using freebsd-update.

The first machine was fine after a reboot, 


Aside from different motherboards in the machines, the machine that is
not working is has 2 x 3bay icy dock hot swap bays. Does anyone have
any
clues as to why this is happening?

Graeme

on the First machine the ahci driver detects the drives hence the
ada[0-9] interfaces.
It looks like on the other machine that ahci did not find the drives,
there are stil called ad[0-9] 

Ahci sees the drives as ada as the normal ata driver sees them as ad

Maybe you will need to go into the BIOS of the second machine and enable
AHCI

RE: glabel clarification

[Johan Hendriks]

I understood that labeling a disk with glabel would permit the disk to
be switched to another system and booting from that disk would not
require other manupulations than adjusting network configuration,
samba,
rc.conf and a few others..
But what if there is already a disk on the system with the identical
labels in /dev/label/ ?
I understood that whatever the actual disk might be (ad4, ad12,
ad1...)would be irrelevant?
It would appear that the actual booting goes according to the label;
so,
if there are duplicate labels the boot will not necessarily be from the
newly installed disk if there is another disk with duplicate glabel
labels?
So doing a glabel seems superfluous...
What then is the real purpose of glabel, since the boot process seems
to
need a unique identifier?

Switching between machines is not what labels are for.(enlighten me if
it is)
As far as understand, it makes switching the drive in the same machine
easier.
It does not matter if labels are used, that the device is seen as
/dev/ad0 or /dev/ad{x}.
This makes adding and replacing disk much easier.
Sometimes the disk numbers change when removing raid controllers or
other hardware.

Regards,
Johan

  The above link is very informative in technical terms about how to
  control optimization but I find it difficult to interpret the info
in a
  way that tells me what might work best on my own system (Intel
quad
  Core) with 8G of ram.
 
 The build system takes care of that, once you have set the correct
 CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf. For a quad-core, set CPUTYPE=nocona. See
 make.conf(5), /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk and
 /usr/src/sys/conf/kern.pre.mk.

  As I read the man page for [g]cc, though, setting -march=nocona
(which
 is where the CPUTYPE information ends up in the cc commands) tells
the
 compiler which base instruction set to use and which model of
instruction
 scheduling to use, but to get the rest of the model-dependent
features
 used, he would still need to add -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 at a
minimum
 for most other compilations, though these would not be advisable for
kernel
 compilations.  I don't recall whether SSE4 instructions are in the
Nocona/
 Merom/Kentfield chips or first appear in the Core i7 series.  I don't
think
 the compiler versions available under FreeBSD support the SSE4
 instructions, though, so SSE4 doesn't matter anyway.

 Additionally, compiler settings for building the kernel can be set
with
 COPTFLAGS in /etc/make.conf. Using anything other than -O or -O2 is
 not guaranteed to work. If you don't know what you are doing, do not
use
 COPTFLAGS and stick with the defaults that the build system
generates.

  Right.  -O3 might royally screw a kernel in particular. :-)


   Scott Bennett, Comm. ASMELG, CFIAG
Thanks for add more useful info however would you mind elaborating a
little 
more because I do not understand the implications.

should I have:
CPUTYPE=nocona 
in make.conf?
Do I need anything else in make.conf?

So far my draft make.conf has these entries:

CPUTYPE=nocona

CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe

FORCE_MAKE_JOBS=true

Incidentally I am also puzzled because it appears necessary to use
amd64 
GENERIC as my starting point when the cpu is actually Intel Quad Core!!


I presume this means that in drafting a kernconf I need to refer to;

dns1# pwd
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
dns1# ls -l
total 44

It would be great if some logical consistency could be introduced into
naming 
conventions!!! It would really help those of us who know little and
make it a 
trifle easier to climb the greasy pole of knowledge chuckles

It is logical.
You use i386 on old amd processors also.
The naming amd64 comes from the fact that AMD did come first with the 64
bit processor.
If Intel was the first it proberly would have a name like i386_64 or
something like that.

Nothing to worry about.
If your Intel proccessor has 64 bit support use the AMD64 version

It is just a name.

About the make.conf the use of nocona is ok but put a ? mark ofter
CPUTYPE
Do not ask me why, people told me it is better, if i understand
correctly It has someting to do about the choice the compiler has while
building, it could override the nocona setting if it is needed.
If i recall correct

CPUTYPE?=nocona

I would ditch the CFLAGS, the normal setings ar the same as that line 

FORCE_MAKE_JOBS=true

FORCE_MAKE_JOBS is also ok

Hey Ruben,

It will listen on all your ip's available on your system.

If it does still not start then look at the configuration of your

RE: Stable Mail Server And Web Mail

[Johan Hendriks]

 Hello,

  Hello all ,  I want to install a  Mail Server with  Webmail,
 
  Anybody to know a good Stable Mail Server and Web Mail

 I recommend the following step-by-step instructions:
 http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4

It's a detailed how-to but consider the following:
a) With Oracle acquiring Sun, one should move to PostgreSQL where ever 
possible.
b) Spam Assassin is a resource hog, use mail/dspam.
c) While postfix-admin is ok for one box setup, it doesn't scale at all - 
you'll have to install it for every physical machine to manage that specific 
database for that box. I know of no alternatives, hence I'm rolling my own.

-- 
Mel

Option c and do not understand.

You can use a centralized database and let as many postfix, dovecot servers 
talk to that database as you want, or am i seeing this wrong.

Johan

A good combination for webmail is:

Postfix as MTA
Dovecot as IMAP / POP3 server
Postfixadmin for webbased management.
Mysql or postgresql for the database.
and a webmail client.
This can be roundcube, squirrelmail, imp (from Horde) and so on.

RE: Changing NIC

[Johan Hendriks]

- FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE

I am about the change the (working) nic of my FreeBSD server with a 
gigabit one.
Logically I think it would be good to add the new nic first and test it 
and if it is working, just remove the old one (or leave it without cable).
Is that the common way of doing such? Are there disadvantages with that?

Jos Chrispijn

The only thing need to change is the line ifconfig_(interface_name)=xxx.xxx 
.. in the file /etc/rc.conf If the server can be offline for some time, 
install the new NIC and remove the old one.
Then look in dmesg what name the new nic has, like bge0 or em0 or something 
like that.
Edit your /etc/rc.conf file so the line ifconfig_ has your new nic module name, 
like ifconfig_em0= and restart the network with /etc/netstart If all is working 
a final reboot and all should be OK

Johan

RE: RAID 1 failure

[Johan Hendriks]

You could download the live cd

Start the computer and insert the boot cd.
After it is done with booting select the option fixit and then Live cd.

It will ask for the live cd.

Then do the following

# chroot /dist
# mount_devfs devfs /dev
From version FreeBSD 7 You miust use mount -t devfs devfs /dev

# gmirror load
 
In the following command replace gm0 and s1a to the name of your mirror and the 
name of your / slice.
If you followed the howto it should be as follows
 
# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt

# ee /mnt/boot/loader.conf
Now you can edit the loader.conf file on your mirror.

So add the line: 
geom_mirror_load=YES

now exit ee and exit the livecd
# exit
# exit

Shutdown the installer, and reboot your system.

This question is really more germane to a VIm mail list

The you'd see something like --

  1
  2
  3   define service{
  4   use generic-service
  5   host_name   w2003hk03
  6   service_description Explorer
  7   check_command   check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
  8   }
  9
 10

Then replace the beginning of a line with a # symbol --

:3,8s/^/#/

That's all there is too it.  BTW, VIm help is your friend

:help replace

RE: CUPS, initial PATH environment

[Johan Hendriks]

If one installs CUPS as the printing system, one must use the
/usr/local/bin versions of lp, lpr, lpq and lprm instead of the
FreeBSD versions in /usr/bin, otherwise you get errors when using
the command line interface...

I could rename /usr/bin/lp, lpr, lpq, lprm to e.g. lp.origfreebsd, etc..
forcing the use of the /usr/local/bin versions
but this would oblige me to do that again after every FreeSBD upgrade.

Or I could put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in the path.
Two questions:
- is this a save thing to do (won't other things go wrong then?)
- if OK to do that, where can I change the path for every user, whatever
   shell (csh, sh, bash, tcsh, rbash) he uses?

/etc/profile, /etc/csh.* start-up files are shell-specific and as yet
distributed, only contain outcommented information, yet a newly created user 
(whether using csh of bash) has a following path / PATH set up:
/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin

Where is this path/PATH being set i.e. where can it be altered?


If I recall correct you can you use the following in /etc/make.conf

CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes

Johan Hendriks

RE: how to install all p5-* one shot

[Johan Hendriks]

 2009/1/26 Saifi Khan saifi.k...@twincling.org:
 Hi all:

 There are many PERL packages in ports whose names are prefixed with p5-* .

 How does one install all the p5-* packages one shot ?

 Is there a way one can do it with the options available in ports
 or does one need to write a script to locate all the dir names
 starting with p5-* ?

 Any pointer in this direction will be appreciated.

 % cd /usr/ports
 % find . -name p5\-* | wc -l


 Good idea? Then try:

 % sudo portmaster -i */p5\-*

 - Herbert

Thanks Herbert.

I'd did not know about 'portmaster' until you mentioned in your mail.
Wow, so i got cvsup, portsnap and now portmaster :)

-- 
thanks
Saifi.

I don't think (i am actually sure) that you can not install all the p5-* ports.
A lot of ports conflict with each other. 

So it is better to install the p5-* ports you actually need.
And the good thing about the ports tree is that they will be when installing 
software that require those p5-* ports.

Johan Hendriks

 Hello,

 After an upgrade from FreeBSD 7.0 to 7.1 (with freebsd-update in my

 specified in some docs/blog-entries, or is it not *really* necessary?
 What are you doing on your production systems?   Having to upgrade
 several servers (15), it's quite important for me to estimate the time
 required for the operation...

 I did the upgrade on a test server here, and all ports still seems to
 work  (apache, php, mysql, etc.) so I guess the answer is no, but I'd
 like to be sure before upgrading some important servers :-)

 According to:

 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html
 Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use
 freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1, but will be prompted to
 rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the
 ports tree) after the second invocation of freebsd-update install, in
 order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x
 and FreeBSD 7.x.

 It would be necessary only for major upgrades (6.x - 7.x).   Right?

RE: PHP 5 | pcre extention

[Johan Hendriks]

Dear all,
Can someone tell me why, as of php 5.2.7, pcre extension is distributed 
with the core php5 package, and not as a standalone module anymore?

Jos Chrispijn

No idea but do not use 5.2.7 because of a security issue (see php.net)
So stick to 5.2.6 till 5.2.8 is released.

RE: FreeBSD 7.0: which distribution

[Johan Hendriks]

 the only reason that people use FreeBSD/i386 on 64-bit processors is that
 some binary-only drivers are only availaboe for i386.

what kind of drivers would be missing for the amd64 distribution ???

Nvidia!!!

RE: Nvidia (Re: FreeBSD 7.0: which distribution)

[Johan Hendriks]

 Nvidia drivers.

 Wanted to ask, maybe somebody here knows, is there any hope to expect 64 bit 
 Nvidia drivers in some reasonable future? What is the problem with Nvidia? 
 Why they do not provide 64 bit drivers?

because there are not enough pressure from clients? (by not buying them)

They missing some things in the kernel of FreeBSD so it has nothing to do with 
nvidia not willing it is FreeBSD who lacks support in the kernel for a 64bit 
NVIDIA driver.

But like said before there are numoures threads about this.

Johan Hendriks

RE: 5 TB server

[Johan Hendriks]

Onderwerp: 5 TB server

Hello community,

 I have to come up with a solution for a company that has as we speak
4 TB of data spread among 3 computers with lots of HDDs. Of course
i've recommend
them to buy a server for that storage capacity and for data organization.

 I thought of going on the ZFS way (on FreeBSD of course) with some
raidz. One of the problems
is that the server will stay in their office so it has to be quite silent.

 I honestly don't know what hardware to look for so if you have any 
 suggestions
i'm more than open to hear them.

a great day,

Well if you mean a lot of disk then you mean a lot of heat, and with that comes 
good cooling and with that comes fans and most of them when running at full 
speed will give you some noise.

I have some HP Proliants running but those are no fun under your desk even if 
the fans are running at a lower level.

So it is better to put the server in a separate room with proper cooling or 
else you are surely going to get hit with faulty hardware because of the heat.

In short a server needs cooling and most cooling gives noise, that is just the 
way it is.

Regards,
Johan Hendriks

RE: ZFS Recovery Tools

[Johan Hendriks]

 What does MAXPHYS mean (yes max raw I/O transfer) and do? A little
 bit more specific if you may.

how large can be single read from disk.

when you say read 2 files in the same time, FreeBSD will readahead at most 
MAXPHYS from one file, then from file 2, from file 1 etc.

128kB/s is way too much for todays drives, that can read 1MB within one 
access time.

128kB/s is way to much  , and you set it to 1024, or did you mean way to low ?

RE: CVSup update nagios-3.0.4_1

[Johan Hendriks]

 from web ports I have see   (
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=nagios-3stype=allsektion=all)
 that is relased the version nagios-3.0.4_1 of nagios but I have on my system
 the version nagios-3.0.3.

 Now if i try to update nagios from cvsup I run the follow comands:

 cd /usr/ports/ ; make update ; make fetchindex

 When the upgrade is finished, i run:
 portversion -l '' -v | grep nagios

 but nagios-3.0.4_1 is not present.

 This is my /etc/make.conf file:

 #make.conf#
 CPUTYPE=i686
 CFLAGS= -O -pipe
 INSTALL=install -C
 SUP_UPDATE= yes
 SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
 SUPFLAGS=   -g -L 2

 #make.conf#


 cvsup18.FreeBSD.org has not yet updated ? Have you an idea ?

cvsup18 has the latest.  You're obviously having trouble with the
index file, because that (or a database derived therefrom) is what
portversion is looking at to determine what's out of date.

Check the ports-mgmt/nagios/Makefile to be sure it is in fact showing
the new version.

I had the same thing, the makefile has the latest, butpkg_version did not 
detect the new nagios.
What I did was going to /usr/port/net-mgmt/nagios
And did a:
 make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes install clean
It installed nagios 3.0.4

Onderwerp: FreeBSD-7.1, BETA2 or PRERELEASE

Hi folks,
y'day I csuped the src and built installed the kernel from RELENG_7
I was expecting FreeBSD-BETA2 in output of `uname -a`
it is still -PRERELEASE, is it by decision or I have to change something ?

I greped /usr/src for PRERELEASE but cud not locate it. I guess release
engineering team does that. comments ?

Aston

If you download the cd BETA2 then you see BETA2
But if you going to csup the latest source from the RELENG_7 branch it will be 
named PRERELEASE again.
See Beta as just a Timestamp name for the PRERELEASE branch.

All right. It is close to it. Which one should I increase? I put this 
into /etc/sysctl.conf:


vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem=8228608


Would it be scufficient?

Thanks,

   Laszlo

vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem= is the value to adjust.

Mine is at 12582912. this happens on Mailservers 'which has a lot of directorys 
for the mail.


The value depends on how many directory's there are on your system.
Keep track on the value and when it hits the limit again increase the limit 
until it stays under the limit.

It can take a while to reach the limit again.

RE: How to select/choose new NIC under FreeBSD?

Hello there,

At my work, I have a Dell PowerEdge2950 running FreeBSD 7.0, Webserver. This
server has onboard Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T with 2 ports.
But we have faced watchdog timeouts and after googling and getting help on
this great forum, we were able to figure out that this is Broadcom
incompatibilty.
So, we have bought Intel Pro 1000PT Single Port Gigabit PCIe Cu now. Which I
am going to install in the server but before;
I need some information, where I seek you guys help???

1. How to tell FreeBSD to which NIC to use?
2. Where else I should make changes under /etc folder?

I will aprecaite your help!
-- 
Thanks!

BR / vj

In the file /etc/rc.conf edit the line that looks like this now
ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.1.22  netmask 255.255.255.0

Change bge0 (could be a different name in your config) to the driver name of 
the intel card, proberly em0 look at dmesg for the real name.

You need to create a kernel config file and give it a name like MYKERNEL
Place this file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
If you use amd64 then it needs to go in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/

If you named that file KRNL then the command needs to be:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=KRNL

RE: FreeBSD-7 reboots hourly

Hello dear colleagues.

2 days I have strange behaviour on my 7.0-RELEASE-p3 server.
It started to reboot once an hour.
No any suspicious task in crontab, nothing strange in /var/log.
Just silent reboot.
I have no physical access to server - only remote one.

Question is: what could it be?
How to find what send computer to reboot?

Just extra information: I had such stuff before - installworld helped me 
for one week,
now it appears again :(

Opened services/sockets are:

also on local interface (lo0) I have apache, postgrey, spamassasin.

I need some pieces of advice what to do with it and what could it be.

Thanks in advance,
Alexey A. Ukhov

P.S.: I mean hourly: I start top and just wait. last what I see is: 
0:59:59 uptime

Try to disable some cronjobs that run hourly.
I think it is something within a cronjob.

It could be something like the system tools!

RE: Move data from 3ware RAID-1 disk to MB disk

[Johan Hendriks]

Hi,

I have FreeBSD 7.0 with 3ware 8006-2LP RAID-1 controller hosted at
hetzner.de.

Now I want remove 3ware controller, and to stay with motherboard
controller. Is it possible to do without data loss?
I suggest to move one disk to motherboard controller, than boot via
LAN to Linux rescue, and than do dd from 3ware to MB disk.
Is it possible to do so or I will copy 3ware RAID table, and MB disk
will not be bootable?

Kind Regards

I freebsd detect the onboard controller and the drives on it, all you
need to do is to make sure /etc/fstab points to the right disks.

Now it probberly points to /dev/twe0s1* and so on if your onboard
controller uses ad then it needs to be changed to /dev/da0s1*

Make sure you have backups!!

Johan

 Are you sure this is what's happening? I have mysql and dovecot, and 
 dovecot starts after mysql in my system.
 Try something like
 
 rcorder /etc/rc.d/*   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
 
 or
 
 dmesg -a |more
 
 to see the startup order. Do you actually have to start it by hand
after 
 boot, or does it really start on the retry?
Ok, the problem is due to my my.cnf. However, I cannot explain which
value of this file causes this problem. I deleted it, and after reboot,
the probleme has disapeared. I re-cp it, and reboot, and the problem
was not here. I think sometimes, and with my.cnf options, mysql is too
slow to be launched, and then, dovecot and others applications could
have a problem.

So, I cannot explain this problem. On the other hand, it was not -big-
problem, just a warning.

Does you're my.cnf file contains an entry that needs to be resolved by
dns and if so can it be resolved!
Maybe named is not started before mysql.
Try setting that entry in /etc/hosts.

 Hey,
 
 ifconfig_rl0_alias0=192.168.15.201 netmask 255.255.255.0

 the mask of an alias ipadres needs to be 32 bits.
 I do not now if this solves your problem but it needs to be 32 bits.

 ifconfig_rl0_alias0=192.168.15.201 netmask 255.255.255.255

Can you explain why it needs to be 32 bits?
I have both setups (24 and 32) and both seems to works fine.
(I am not running Samba)

 I tried with 24 bits - it doesn't work one way or the other.
 
 Thanks,
 Nejc

This is from the man page of ifconfig and there it is

alias   Establish an additional network address for this interface.
This
 is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one
wishes
 to accept packets addressed to the old interface.  If the
address
 is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
 interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given.
Usually
 0x is most appropriate.

RE: FreeBSD 7.0 jail and Samba 3

[Johan Hendriks]

 OK.. if it is running inside your jail it doesnt respond to WINS
 broadcasts (request for NETBIOS Names.. oi, who is Machine on this
 subnet???), if it is not running in your jail, it is.

I wouldn't say WINS broadcasts but NetBIOS broadcasts, yes. Machine
is jailed Samba 3 server - I want it to be accessible from Windows machines
via \\Machine. But it is not unless I put it out of jail (or turn on WINS in
smb.conf and enter the WINS server IP into Windows clients). Windows machines
don't have the WINS server set - I don't want to use WINS server capability
of Samba (nor of any other server on the network).

 So, what are your settings for master (local, domain and wins)?

 wins support = no
 local master = yes
 domain master = yes
 preferred master = yes

 can you do a ping to machine? Can it be resolved?

C:\Users\Nejko.DOMAINping freebsd
Ping request could not find host freebsd. Please check the name and try again.

You mean \\192.168.15.201. Yes.

 Do you see the smb client listening on the machines virtual ip?

You mean smb server - yes:

root nmbd   1430  9  udp4   192.168.15.201:138*:*

 in case the above work for you it is all about name resolution.
 # man smbclient
 Read the first paragraph of servicename on servername resolution.

I know it is all about network resolution. But the question is how to
convince a jailed Samba to reply to NetBIOS broadcasts. I can't find this
in any manual.

Thanks,
Nejc

This is nota n issue with samba it is a name resolve issue.
If you add in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts the following does all work 
then

ipadressMachine-name

where ipadress is the ipadres of the jailed samba server and machine-name is 
the netbios name of the jailed server.

If this works then you need to check your DNS server.

make install

..but during its process i allways has time-out connection then it ends
up..
I attached in this email the my console..PLease check it
Please tell me what i forgot..Thanks in advance..

Why do you want cvsup?
There is csup that is in the base system.
So if you use cvsup only to update the ports and base sources use csup!

RE: FreeBSD 7.0 jail and Samba 3

[Johan Hendriks]

 I am trying to get latest Samba running under FreeBSD 7.0 jail 
 environment. I happen
 to have problems with visibility of the Samba server on the network - 
 I cannot connect
 to it using its NetBIOS name. To be able to run nmbd, I have to use the 
 interfaces
 parameter in smb.conf like this:
 
 interfaces = 192.168.1.2/24 127.0.0.1
 
 If I don't set this, nmbd fails to run (it says it cannot find 
 interfaces). However, if
 I try the identical configuration on a non-jailed Samba (on a FreeBSD 
 6.2 though) it
 runs seamlessly - I can connect to it from another box by running 
 smbclient //server/share.
 
 Is there any way to make NetBIOS work for jailed Samba server on FreeBSD 
 7.0?

Is there really nobody who could help me out here?

Thanks,
Nejc

I think you will need to remove 127.0.0.1

Just use 192.168.1.2/24

There is no 127.0.0.1 on a jailed system

I can't imagine that it would hurt. Last I looked though squid may not  
be the best tool for this job. Poul Henning-Kamp has written an http  
accelerator called varnish.

I'll start by saying that implementing varnish is on list of things to  
do so my experience is purely anecdotal. No that I've said that, the  
feature that grabbed my attention was the fact that it's written to  
modern unix. If I understand what I read correctly this means that  
varnish eschews squids separation of the cache into  a fast cache in  
memory and a slow cache on disk. Instead varnish uses a big memory  
mapped file allowing the operating system to manage which cache  
objects are in memory and which ones are on disk. On FreeBSD at least  
that would seem to me to be a bigger performance win than softupdates.

Hi, Ive got a big problem now on a production server.

When i do various things, i am getting write failed, file system full

things i can, and i should have the space now, but its just
not available:

$ df -m

I dont know what kind of math lets you do 2015-1858 and gives
you an answer of -3!

I have softupdates, or whatever, but i dont know how to get 
it to release this space. I cant reboot the running server.
I am planning on adding a disc to this system but right now
i need to get this space released ASAP! Can anyone help?
