glabel(8) a gmirror(8) doesn't work
Hello community, Yesterday I have installed FBSD 7.2-RELEASE. I have installed on a mirror created with gmirror(8). All I have modified on this system is that I have updated the sources, rebuild the world and kernel and of course install. I have named the mirror system0 and all worked well. Now the problem is that i want to glabel the partitions on the mirror so i have followed the following procedure: 1. reboot to single user 2. mount -a 3. tunefs -L var /dev/mirror/system0s1d This commands exits with Failed to write superblock. After reading the man of gmirrror(8) and glabel(8) i have noticed that both of them store metadata on the last sector of the provider. From this results that what I want to do is not possible, at least my logic tells me that. Since gmirror wrote metadata to the last sector of the provider, glabel tries to rewrite it and the system stops the process to protect the filesystem. But then again for gmirror the providers are the two hdd i use for mirroring and for glabel the provider is the mirror itself. That's again what my logic tells me. So i think there is some kind of separation between the two modules and things should work. I have searched a bit but couldn't find any relevant info on labeling a mirror. I just want to know if this is possible and if it's not I'd like to understand why. Labeling a partition is not a must-have but it's sure nice :). thanks, v -- network warrior since 2005 ___ 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 am trying to figure out how when making the kernel that the number is incremented. For example my system reads: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #4 I have my own kernel that works, however I would like to have it read this: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0 Is there a way to resolve this? the number is incremented every time you do config on the same build directory. ___ 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

They are both available as modules and/or kernel config options (actually udbp(4) is a device :) ). If that is all it takes, then, I think that GENERIC should mention the options NETGRAPH as a requirement for udbp. There are numerous places with requires miibus as a comment because a device won't compile without it. A commented line has often been there because it was a work in progress such as ULE was for what seems like years or broken for unknown reasons. GENERIC was always self documenting. Thanks guys. having 'options NETGRAPH' is indeed the fix. There is no mention of it being required for udbp in GENERIC, nor in either of the NOTES files.

Information is gathered first, then sent in one block to the server, so even if two people try to modify/delete the same record, the one that comes first makes the change, and the second one is handled according to the new information. -- Mel ___ 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

DBs are great when you have structured data, but semi-structured text
(like email) makes for a very poor fit. To see why, have a look at
http://www.memoryhole.net/~kyle/databaseemail.html
If you really need to store 100 million smallish chunks of information,
consider using zip. Create 256 folders named 00-ff:
#!/bin/sh
hex='0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f'
for x in $hex ; do
for y in $hex ; do
mkdir ${x}${y}
done
done
exit 0
Use the hash of your choice to map the name of each chunk to one of 256
zipfiles under each directory. This gives you 64k zipfiles, and if you
put 1500 or so chunks in each one, you're pretty close to 100 million.
me% cat mkchunks
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
for $chunk (@ARGV) {
$_ = chunk2file($chunk);
$file = $1/$2.zip if m/(..)(..)/;
print $file $chunk\n;

$sum = 0;
foreach $byte (unpack(C*, $str)) { # SDBM hash
$sum = $byte + 65587 * $sum;

Mel Flynn writes: If this is the sole purpose of the program, I would retire it if you're using ISC provided software for these services. rndc and omshell can do all of this using atomic operations. Information is gathered first, then sent in one block to the server, so even if two people try to modify/delete the same record, the one that comes first makes the change, and the second one is handled according to the new information. Quite true. The ISC software is wonderful but it doesn't deal with static bootP and even worse static IP addresses that have no bootP associated with them. We have tons of both. Dynamic DHCP isn't really a good solution for printers and servers. BootP is much more stable for them since nobody can bump them off. We have some departments on campus that are like herding cats in that there is always somebody hard-coding their IP address in to a DHCP lease, etc. We have other areas where people have had the same dynamic lease for literally years and think it is static. We usually set up a subnet about half dynamic and half static which works well for us. The program I wrote reads the dhcpd.conf file and blocks out the dynamic ranges so one can not assign a static entry in those ranges so it has grown to work with the ISC products. It reads the subnet mask, finds the dynamic ranges and then compares against the A records in DNS to quickly find the next free IP address. We use both bind and the ISC DHCP server and are very satisfied customers. When you use omshell to add a bootP entry, it inserts it as a clause in the dhcpd.leases file but you still must specify all the parameters yourself. ___ 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 I'm making up numbers here, just like you.) So . . . you're basically gambling that you'll never be the victim of circumstances that would allow GoDaddy to figure it can get away with screwing you over. I prefer to gamble on other things. Your mileage may vary. I am not going to debate. 1) Your math doesn't even begin to compute - as you stated. How do you figure? 2) You have supplied no factual proof of your statement. Innuendo is not evidence. Try http://nodaddy.com for examples. Every time you get in a car, you risk your life. Does that mean you should live in a bubble? If you have documented proof of your statements, I would love to see them. If not, you sound like someone who screwed up, got burned and like is now the norm in our society, refusing to take responsibility for it; preferring to place the blame on someone or something else. I haven't been burned by GoDaddy. As you might have surmised from previous statements (if you were paying enough attention), I have chosen to learn from others' mistakes in the case of GoDaddy rather than obstinately insisting on making such a mistake for myself. Thanks for degrading the apparent rigor of your own arguments by descending into ad hominem fallacy, though, assuming I've done something I haven't so you can blame me, the hypothetical victim, for what has(n't actually) been done to me. The only way I remember having been burned by my choice of registrar, and thus having to learn from my own mistake, was the case of using a single provider for both domain registration and Webhosting. I learned from that experience that if a single provider handles both domain registration and Webhosting for that domain, it makes it really easy for that provider to screw the user by making it as difficult as possible to move one or the other service to a different provider, thus costing more money over a longer period while giving crappy service -- essentially creating an artificial lock-in situation from which it may be difficult to extricate oneself. I didn't have that particular problem with GoDaddy, but I certainly wouldn't put it past that company. If you don't like GoDaddy, that is your prerogative. However, slandering them with undocumented statements is rather low. As I said, I have not had a problem with them in the seven years I have used their services. Obviously, that does not coincide with your statements. You didn't ask for documentation, and that's not the direction the discussion was going. I provided a URL so you can see some corroborating documentation of real-world incidents above, though, now that you've specifically brought up the point of such evidence. The fact you, yourself have not had a problem, may well be a matter of nothing but luck. In fact, I'm sure most GoDaddy customers haven't had a problem. That's sorta the point, though -- as long as the incidence of problems is kept below a particular threshold, GoDaddy is free to screw over that small percentage of exceptions with relative impunity, unless those who know about such incidents try to get the word out to help other would-be customers protect themselves. It's not like I have a selfish aim in suggesting one use a different registrar; I don't run, or work for, or otherwise have a relationship with, a competing company (other than being another company's customer, of course). Out of morbid curiosity, who are you presently using? I am willing to bet that I can find someone with a horror story to tell about them also. Would it be accurate; you tell me? I'm using pairNIC. If you find such horror stories, please let me know, and I'll investigate them to determine whether I consider them credible and suggestive of the likelihood that the same thing could happen to me. Some horror stories are suggestive of bad policy to which I don't want to submit myself; others are merely suggestive of a fluke, or exaggeration. The fact is that the GoDaddy horror stories I've seen have, in some cases, actually been thoroughly documented not only by the parties involved (on both sides, in fact), but by the news media as well, and they're very suggestive of policies that can lead to terrible abuses of customers in the future.

=== Verifying install for gcj in /usr/ports/lang/gcc42
=== Returning to build of pdftk-1.41
Error: shared library gcj does not exist
gcj does indeed exist in /usr/ports/lang/gcc42:
# find /usr/ports/lang/gcc42 -name gcj
/usr/ports/lang/gcc42/work/gcc-4.2-20090325/libjava/gnu/gcj
/usr/ports/lang/gcc42/work/gcc-4.2-20090325/libjava/gcj
/usr/ports/lang/gcc42/work/build/gcc/gcj
The gcj that the port is searching for must be the appropriate
binary executable, or a link to it, and must be in your PATH. In this
case,
if properly installed via the port, it would be:
gcj42, gcj43, gcj44, or gcj45,
and would be in /usr/local/bin.
See above. The reason why I was thinking that for some reason it looks
for it in the port directory is the following in the Makefile:
# needs gcj
LIB_DEPENDS= gcj:${PORTSDIR}/lang/gcc${CSUFF}
Perhaps I'm just misinterpreting things... It's strange though that the
reason for pdftk not building seems to be that gcj does not compile on
amd64 systems, when this doesn't seem to be true. I've read about
problems with memory consumption of gcj, but I don't know if these still
remain true - these posts were rather old.
However, again, all of this is with huge accuracy caveats, I'm
definitely not confident with my piecing together of information here...
All that you have done is find what I suspect are empty directories in
the WRKDIR for the lang/gcc42 port. Consider the 'which' command; or
limiting the directories searched and the using of '-not -type d' if
employing 'find' in this way in the future.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to build pdftk? This particular
project will surely be much harder if I can't get pdftk
tobuild/compile...
In the order of increasing effort:
1) Use a tool other than pdftk to manipulate your PDF files. pdftk is
just a wrapper around an old version of devel/itext, structured with
the idea of compiling it with gcj. You could just install Java and
use the more up-to-date devel/itext. Or use print/ghostscript8,
graphics/poppler, or print/xpdf, either directly or via one of the many
programs (for example, print/kpdftool) that use them to do the dirty
work.
Also textproc/p5-CAM-PDF, print/py-pdf, ...
I will definitely look at itext! I'm using FPDI to insert header stamps
into existing PDF files, and need something to rotate and merge PDFs.
I've looked at Ghostscript a little, but was really attracted to the
simplicity of doing this in pdftk. If you have any other suggestions of
solutions I could look into other than itext, I'd appreciate them! I'm
rather new to PDF manipulation...
2) Switch your system to i386 and use pdftk.
3) Find a way to build gcj on architectures other than i386, or persuade
or browbeat gerald@ into doing it. Debian has packages for other
architectures, for example. You could look at what they've done.
b.
Hi all,
I compiled gcc42+libgcj successfully and then print/pdftk without any
problems on 7.1-RELEASE amd64. Still to do:
- - Run make check in gcc42 work directory to see if any problems pop up
- - Run some tests with pdftk on sample PDF files to check for problems
- - Contact gerald@ to find out if there are other reasons why libgcj
should not be enabled on amd64.

Re: PDF inventory software
Hmm.. The command
find *.pdf -exec pdftotext {} \;
works in directories in which no PDF file returns the Document has
not the mandatory ending %EOF error. When a directory contains one
of these files, none of the files get converted. Is there some way to
ignore or skip over this %EOF problem and continue operating on the
remaining PDFs?
Use something like:
find -X DIR -name '*.[pP][dD][fF]' | xargs -I % pdftotext %
where DIR is the root of the filesystem directory hierarchy to be searched.
Be careful of how many arguments you feed to pdftotext: it can overwrite
files. You may need to handle some files with encryption, etc. differently.

When the Remote end of a Telnet drops
In the last two weeks, we have suddenly begun having a problem when telnetting to a telephone switch in order to manage it. This device does not have ssh or we would sure be using that. We run an expect script to poll various registers on the switch and the process is fairly simple. We ask for various listings of registers. When done with a listing, the switch sends a prompt which we see and then either go to the next poll or end and log out. Recently, output just stops at the end of a line with no corruption of the text. There is even a Return character. The telnet session just sits there for days if we don't stop it. It is tempting to point fingers at the switch and the people closest to the switch say that it must be something with the network, all that fun sort of stuff that happens when you don't have undisputable proof and it doesn't happen every day. Exactly a month ago, I upgraded the patch level on this system to FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p10 Does anybody know if there are any recent issues with telnet? As a test, I telnetted to a system and then literally pulled the Ethernet plug on the remote system. The system I was telnetting from sat for many minutes. I finally hit Enter and a few minutes later, it figured out there was nothing on the remote end. There was the usual Connection closed by foreign host. message. Is there a way to make telnet either more proactive about detecting a loss of connection or of logging oddities if the connection is flickering? One such stall happened on a weekend and the connection appeared to be up for 4 days. A ps ax |grep telnet |grep -v grep showed a connection still up at least until I killed it. At that point, it logged terminated and ended. I can certainly put a timeout in expect but we have been using this same script, etc, for around 6 years and never had this problem before so a timeout would just hide whatever has changed. My own gut feeling is that the FreeBSD system is fine as we have no other problems with anything else.

Looks easy enough in 10.5: http://www.macresearch.org/nfs-exports-leopard You could also use sshfs: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fusefs-sshfs/ It would be a bit slower, but reliable.

Help With rc.d Script
I installed a software named urchin on my FBSD 7.2 box.
Unfortunately, it didn't come with an rc.d script to automate startup
and shutdown. And even more unfortunately, I can't seem to get my head
around the concepts in Practical rc.d scripting in BSD
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/rc-scripting/rcng-daemon.html).
This is the command that starts the app:
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
And here are the options:
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
where:
-v prints out the version of urchinctl
-h prints out this information
-e activates encryption (SSL) in the webserver
-s performs the action on the Urchin scheduler ONLY
-w performs the action on the Urchin webserver ONLY
-p specifies the port for the webserver to listen on
action is either: start, stop, restart, or status
start: starts the webserver and scheduler
stop:stops the webserver and scheduler
restart: stops and then starts the webserver and scheduler
status: prints out whether the webserver and scheduler are running
By default, the action is performed on both the webserver and the
schedulers unless the -s or -w options are specified
All I want to do is create a script within the rc.d framework that runs
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start when the system boots and
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop when the system shuts down.
Following the examples in the guide mentioned above, here is my attempt
at that file:
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: urchin
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable urchin:
# urchin_enable=YES (bool): Set to NO by default.
# Set it to YES to enable urchin.
. /etc/rc.subr
name=urchin
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
eval ${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable=YES' is in /etc/rc.conf.
However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but
doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed. See this output:
urchin# ./urchin-server start
Starting urchin.
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
snipped rest of options already shown above
I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept. I'd really appreciate a kick
in the right direction.
Thanks,
Drew

I appreciate your help and added those lines. However it seems it
didn't help.
urchin# ./urchin-server status
urchin_args=status: not found
urchin is not running.
However it is running:
urchin# /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Urchin webserver is running
Urchin MASTER scheduler is running
Urchin SLAVE scheduler is running
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew

There is no actual urchin as far as I know. The control file is
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl. It is a executable file:
urchin# file /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
After running /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start, I have these
related processes:

Re: Help With rc.d Script
since the rc.d scripts (as much as lots of other scripts in BSD are..)
are borne shell scripts, can't 'set -x' be in the script to show the
flow of it running???
That's what I'd try first.

/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
After running /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start, I have these
related processes:
urchin# ps acux | grep urchin
root70937 0.0 0.0 3184 1996 ?? Ss7:00PM 0:00.01
urchinwebd
nobody 70938 0.0 0.0 3184 2000 ?? I 7:00PM 0:00.00
urchinwebd
nobody 70939 0.0 0.0 3184 2000 ?? I 7:00PM 0:00.00

nobody 70940 0.0 0.0 3184 2000 ?? I 7:00PM 0:00.00
urchinwebd
nobody 70941 0.0 0.0 3184 2000 ?? I 7:00PM 0:00.00

nobody 70946 0.0 0.0 1332 668 ?? Is7:00PM 0:00.51 urchind
And conversely, /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop removes all of
the above processes.
In your script command is path_to_urchinctl. rc.subr will look for a
process named urchinctl and a pidfile named urchinctl.pid. It appears
that neither will be found, so the script can't stop or restart the
processes, because it doesn't know the pid and therefore the process that
it needs to kill. That doesn't explain why it won't start the processes
though. I *think* you need to name the script urchin rather than
urchin-server, but I can't test that.
To fix the pid problem, rc.subr offers some optional statements that, with
the proper arguments, can overcome the problem. You'll have to read man
rc.subr and test it to figure out what works, but here's an example that
might work:
pidfile=/var/run/urchinwebd.pid
check_pidfile=${pidfile}
If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the
status (running or not). I'm assuming that, because root is running the
lowest numbered process, killing that process will kill all the children
as well.

Re: Need a filesystem with unlimited inodes
Could you use several large hard drives each with several partitions that each have one filesystem? With eight drives and eight partitions on each, you would multiply the maximum total number of inodes by 256. Mike -- Michael David Crawford m...@prgmr.com prgmr.com - We Don't Assume You Are Stupid.
