6.2 STABLE to 6.2 RELEASE problem
Hello, I was wondering if anyone might have some insight into this problem I'm having. I've downgraded a 6.2 STABLE system to 6.2 RELEASE for the purpose of being able to upgrade it via freebsd-update. I followed the steps as detailed here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html To summarize, the currently recommended way of upgrading FreeBSD from sources is: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # shutdown -r now Note: There are a few rare cases when an extra run of mergemaster -p is needed before the buildworld step. These are described in UPDATING. In general, though, you can safely omit this step if you are not updating across one or more major FreeBSD versions. After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt). Then run: # adjkerntz -i # mount -a -t ufs # mergemaster -p # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Now, after I reboot, I get an error when it tries mounting /usr: NO WRITE ACCESS INCONSISTENCIES FOUND, run fsck MANUALLY! So, I did that and it found some free block inconsistencies and fixed those but it is still bailing when it tries mounting /usr on the reboot. I can boot to single user mode and run fsck -p and that is fine. I can mount the partition manually and browse through the files fine. One other weird thing is that it seems to mount /dev/md0 on /var as well which doesn't look right. Nothing in /etc/fstab about it. Maybe some other file that got mixed up during mergemaster? I said fix later for all files mergemaster came back with. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is always necessary when you update to a new major branch (such as 6.x - 7.x). The old applications will continue to run immediately after the upgrade and as long as you do not make further changes, but once you start doing new port upgrades and installs you will easily create ports that are linked to two versions of FreeBSD system libraries, e.g. libc.so.6 and libc.so.7.

failed to create swap_zone 6.2-STABLE SMP Kernel
I note that this problem has appeared in the past and am wondering if there is a resolution: Running 6.2-STABLE on a machine that ran 4.11 flawlessly. I am seeing the message failed to create swap_zone right after the 2nd CPU gets enabled on a Dell PowerEdge 1300. The system blows out and reboots therafter. This same configuration works fine on a more modern Intel MOBO with a Pentium D, so I'm guessing the problem is hardware dependent. Booting a generic kernel works fine on the PowerEdge. The source code is latest STABLE as of earlier today. Has anyone else seen this and/or is there a workaround? My exact kernel config is: include SMP options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options VESA # System console options options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT # disable reboot key sequence options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=200 # number of history buffer lines options SC_PIXEL_MODE # add support for the raster text mode # The following options will change the default colors of syscons. options SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK) options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR=(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_RED|BG_BLACK) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_BLACK|BG_RED) TIA, -- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem:
Right after starting apache, the loads on the server will climb to 10-40's
and the application will become unacceptably slow. This will go on until few
users are using the said application. (note: other servers running older
FreeBSD versions on dual cpus running the same code don't exhibit this
system% problem) top shows more than 60% of the CPU time is spent on system:
I would first try to determine if the problem is with your application OR
apache+OS+configuration combo you have here.
- get rid of your application altogether - does apache behave the same way
(without clients hitting it)? If yes, dont worry about your app at all for now
- apache shouldn't load your system like this.
- If load with no-own-app-and-no-clients is ok, use ab to generate some load on
the server , on plain html pages. what happens then?
- I am not sure what would the best way to test PHP load...but there may be out
there some test framework / standard php applications that can be used as a
point of reference...
- you can run
ktrace httpd -X
and start using your app, and see if you get anything interesting in the output
I had to lower MaxClients on apache substancially from 128 to 32, or loads
would quickly go to 40+. (Other servers with dual cpus instead of quad and
apache 1.3 on freebsd 6.0 don't have this problem)
something is fishy here , I've had (have? ) Apache boxen (i386 though )
with several hundred children allowed (well, big enough that i had to change
the build defaults ), and it works fine. (i am not comparing apps, of course,
but the server behaviour is what is interesting)

bad network performance on 6.2-stable
Folks, I have old PC (P1 75MHz, 64Mb RAM, xl and fxp network interface, internet connection via pppoe), which was loaded with 4.11-STABLE and served as internet gateway plus hold samba and squid. I decided to turn it into wireless access point and upgraded it to 6.2-STABLE. Samba speed dropped from 2mb/s to 900kb/s. I tryed GENERIC and custom kernels, tryed to play with polling, but there was no speed increase. I tryed to install netbsd 3.1on the same hardware and got 2mb/s again, but I would prefer to stay with freebsd. Could you please tell me what options should I try to increase network performance? Please let me know if I should supply more information about my setup. Thanks in advance for your help.

6.2-stable power management
Is there any way to verify ALL power management is disabled? I have totally disabled it in my BIOS and I have totally disabled it in the hard drives... Yet I keep hearing a drive spin down and then immediately back up over and over (at times). If I install a different OS on this same machine, this does not happen..so I am thinking something within 6.2-stable is doing this? any thoughts or ideas? -JD ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yup that's good. With polling off, you should never see it increase much beyond ~8000 interrupts/sec, the theoretical limit for an 100mbit connection with 1500 mtu while doing a big transfer. You can also check with systat -vmstat 1. I dont do anything higher than WAN(10MB) and LAN(100MB). But if anyone has any suggestions or comments -especially values to adjust in sysctl, please chime in. If you want lower latency (or if you experience packet loss) you could set the kern.hz tunable (in loader.conf) to something higher than the default 1000. I believe that people have been using 1 for busy routers. Note that this will increase CPU load when the system has no packets to process.

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE / Gnome / Beryl (recipe)
Hello Guys, After several hours of compilation, I have got my FreeBSD/Gnome/Beryl working properly. It took almost 2 days of compiling processes. To those who are interested, here is a log of what I did: Installed the minimal installation of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. When my computer woke up, I configure its mouse (a PS/2 microsoft optical mouse) by adding the next lines to /etc/rc.conf: moused_enable=YES moused_flags=-z 4 moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto michelle# /etc/rc.d/moused start Once it was working, I installed cvsup-without-gui: michelle# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui michelle# rehash Configured my /etc/cvsupfile as shown: -/etc/cvsupfile-- *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_6 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all end of /etc/cvsupfile - Updated my system to 6.2-STABLE: michelle# cvsup /etc/cvsupfile (several hours later... ) Prepared my system to build the world. michelle# cd /etc/src michelle# make buildworld (several hours later...) michelle# make installworld michelle# mergemaster This last step makes a lot of questions. I aswered i (install) to all of them. Configured my kernel: michelle# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf michelle# cp GENERIC eviruena Added my particular necessities: ... michelle# vi eviruena options SMP device atapicam device drm device i915drm device sound ... michelle# config eviruena michelle# cd ../compile/eviruena michelle# make cleandepend michelle# make depend michelle# make michelle# make install michelle# reboot In this point you have to check that you have the device file: /dev/agpgart, if you don't, perhaps your graphic card is not properly handled by FreeBSD. I installed Xorg 7.2. It can be obtained from FreeBSD packages: michelle# pkg_add -r xorg it can take a lot of time, depending on your ISP. Some others (fearless men) prefer to compile it from the ports, check the file /usr/ports/UPGRADING before doing anything. Now, the problem is to get gnome installed. I did not find it in the packages of 6-STABLE, so I compiled it: michelle# setenv BATCH yes michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 michelle# make clean install clean as you can see, I am working with tcsh, if you prefered bourne shell, you have to type: export BATCH=yes instead of: setenv BATCH yes (one day later...) [Michelle (my computer) had some problems to find opal-2.2.8.tar.gz; I found it by google-ing it, loaded it in /usr/ports/distfiles and continued Gnome compilation]. Finally, gnome was compiled and installed. Then, I needed to compile beryl: michelle# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/beryl michelle# make clean install clean Next, I had to configure X. It is quite simple, but it is a little tricky: michelle# X -configure I had to make some changes to the configuration obtained above, basicly I needed to include some options that are not loaded by default. I have to say that I own an intel motherboard and I am using its graphic card (it is an i950GM). The X configuration requires to include: (in section ServerLayout) Option AIGLX true (in secion Device) Option XAANoOffscreenPixmaps true Option DRI true (in section Screen) DefaultDepth 24 Option AddARGBGLXVisuals True and, finally, I needed to add another two sections: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection Section dri Mode 0666 EndSection You must be warned that ATI and Nvidia Cards may requiere some other options, please take a look at: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/FreeBSD Of course, you can add any other options in your X configuration, v. gr., your keyboard layout or your mouse extensions, in Mexico, for instance, we use Latinamerican keyboard, so I included: (in section InputDevice [keyboard]) Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout latam Now, I had an account and in this account I configured gnome to start with my X session: michelle echo exec gnome-start .xinitrc michelle chmod a+x .xinitrc and tested X gnome: michelle startx everything worked ok. Now, I opened a system terminal and I typed: michelle beryl-manager as a consequence of this, a ruby was displayed in my launch bar. I had wobbly windows, cubic desktops, etc. I have to thank to Reid Linnemann from the freebsd-questions list, for suggesting me compile 6.2-STABLE, and to Jose Luis Enriquez, for helping me to configure X. Hope it helps. Cheers, Eduardo. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http

Re: Upgrading to 6.2-RELEASE from 6.2-STABLE
Hi Mark, Some months ago i tried to upgrade my source from 5.2 to 6.1. I did something wrong and It took me 2 to 4 weeks to stabilize my system and to be honest i tried so many things that i am not sure what I did exactly and brought it back to normal. I remember re-building and re-installing the kernel and suddenly everything was working properly. I believe that in your case the problem was caused while using mergemaster... In general it is not recommended to update to a major version like this and the procedure is slightly different than when upgrading from a minor version. After what i read and since this is a production machine, i believe it is better that you take a (manual...?) back up of the configuration files (even copy paste them on paper - if you cannot boot, mount the drive with a CD) and re-install 6.2clean :( You have to take the decision whether this will save you time or not, since after all these it gets confusing, you cannot really remember what you were doing (4 days ago) and you may cause even more problems or waste time if you continue.. It is even more difficult for us to understand what went wrong in your case... Ideally you could use a different machine (or hdd - temporarily) to do this and then if you want sit down quietly and play with the current one.

Upgrading to 6.2-RELEASE from 6.2-STABLE
Hello, I recently upgraded from 5.4-RELEASE to 6.2-STABLE. Now I'm having problems with the TCP stack. I suspect its because of code differences. I may have some older 5.4 code that was used during the build world process. For example, here's a partial ifconfig -a output fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 71.4.48.6 netmask 0xfe00 broadcast 71.4.49.255 inet 71.4.48.4 netmask 0x broadcast 71.4.48.4 inet 71.4.48.7 netmask 0x broadcast 71.4.48.7 inet 71.4.48.9 netmask 0x broadcast 71.4.48.9 What's interesting is I can ping 71.4.48.6 from the console. But I get the following whenever I ping any other aliased IP from the local console. I can ping these from other machines. [root 6] ping 71.4.48.4 PING 71.4.48.4 (71.4.48.4): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Invalid argument ping: sendto: Invalid argument Looking up a domain using dig I get similar errors. It actually returns the info I want but I still get the errors.

So what I thought I'd do is move to 6.2-RELEASE. What I wanted to do is install the source code from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/src/* and do a build world and build kernel. I assume that's really all I need to build a new system. Are there any caveats to do an upgrade this way?

Belkin N1 pccard driver/setup on 6.2.stable

Was wondering if anyone is sucessfully using a Belkin N1 wireless card (native BSD driver or ndis, doesn't matter to me so long as it works). Here is the relevant dmesg as pertains to card: snip cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xe0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=1 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=1 cardbus0: network, ethernet at device 0.0 (no driver attached) snip With the ndis-generated driver loaded, I get the following: snip ndis0: Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook Card mem 0x8800-0x8800,0x8801-0x8801 irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 NDIS: open file /compat/ndis/cb8350.bin failed: 2 ndis0: Ethernet address: my MAC addy snip So the error is there, but ifconfig shows the card: # ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether my MAC addy media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS But when I, # ifconfig ndis0 up scan ifconfig: unable to get scan results even though the lights on the card light up.

I thought 6.2 STABLE was out, but a uname-a shows 6.2 RELEASE on my system. Am I missing something? :-) Kind of :) its just the naming conventions of FreeBSD. RELEASE means the stable production release. STABLE means the cvs development branch that will become the next RELEASE, thus 6.2 is the latest stable release. If you really want to follow STABLE you need to do it via cvs/cvsup and recompiling your entire system from time to time. However its name can (occasionally) be a misnomer as it isnt always as stable as a release.

I thought 6.2 STABLE was out, but a uname-a shows 6.2 RELEASE on my system. Am I missing something? :-) No. You have what you want, I think. RELEASE is the tested and vetted final product. STABLE is just a snapshot of work in progress. Of course, RELEASE is also a snapshot, but it is frosen, tested, ports brought up to snuff, etc and then released. STABLE is just CURRENT in kind of reliable condition. Install RELEASE and then CVSUP to *default tag=RELENG_6_2 or possibly *default tag=RELENG_6 to keep up to date with security patches. jerry Best regards, Andreas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Servers are using limited amount of memory after upgrade from 6.2-PRE to 6.2-STABLE
Sorry about the previous message, it was send in error. After upgrading from 6.2-PRERELEASE to 6.2-STABLE all my servers are terribly slow, the webservers use only 300Mb memory instead of the previous 1500Mb. Anything changed between those releases which affects the memory usage?

FreeBSD 6.2 stable crasches when running dump on mounted snapshot.
Hi there, When I run dump on a mounted snapshot, my machine panics with the error that says the following: Fatal double fault Panic: double fault I can run games in Windows fine and I run setiathome/boinc most of the time in Windows when my computer is locked and I'm at work. No problem there. It s no problem to make buildkernel and make buildworld with -j2. It has never crashed because of load as I can remember. Im running RAID-1 on this machine the hard disc are ad8xy and ad10xy and I do mount everything via the RAID array called ar0xy. My motherboard is an Asus A8N5X and I'm using the on board S-ATA controller for my hard discs. I have tried and changed my /etc/fstab so that they mount it from either ad8xy or ad10xy instead ( root usr var etc..) But that does not still help me with the problem. I would be happy to provide more info if you want to, so please let me know it I'm missing some crucial information. Or perhaps if I should try another mailing list then this one. Below here is my kernel config and make.conf.

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 + CPUTYPE?=nocona broke my kernel
Hello, I recompiled my kernel with make.conf has CPUTYPE?=nocona with the latest src via cvsup. But that broke my kernel while I have Dual xeon EMT64. So I think it's not safe to use nocona or prescott with kernel, and I should stick to cpu i686 instead. -- Regards, -Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri Arab Portal http://www.WeArab.Net/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
