disk recovery problem(s)
Dear all: I have a very similar problem as Roland Smith almost two years ago. My hard drive got corrupted (I do not really know why) and when running fsck the first error message is ROOT INODE UNALLOCATED (the full output of fsck is given below. I can then type y and it looks like that fsck is doing something. But in phase 3, when it tries to reconnect the inodes and put them in the lost+found directory, this directory cannot be created. If I mount the file system, there is still no root directory on the drive (no . and .. or anything else) and if I run fsck again, the exact same error massages occur again. If I only perform the ALLOCATE? and answer all the other questions with no, I get a . and .. in the root directory but nothing more. Running again fsck destroys everything again. Does anyone have an idea why fsck is not able to perform the recovery or why the changes are undone at one point? Is there a chance to get the data back? I do not know if it is important but the file system is on a raid5. Any help would be highly appreciated. Best, Thomas Full fsck output: nas1:/mnt# /sbin/fsck -t ufs -f /dev/raid5/nasraid1p1 ** /dev/raid5/nasraid1p1 ** Last Mounted on /mnt/nasraid1 ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ROOT INODE UNALLOCATED UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY ALLOCATE?

I got it. But it seems that my first porting task run into some difficulties
for the advanced porters, since there is no autotool environment.
By the way, the global environment variable ${CSH} seems to be noneexistent,
instead ${SH} exists.
Interesting - I assumed it would be listed in bsd.commands.mk, but it
seems to not be. Most of the base system tools are. In any case, glad
to hear you got it working.
Well,
in this case, it would really be a 'nice to have', maybe this is worth a PR?

FreeBSD and large harddrives
Hi, I'm going to build a server that's intended to store uncompressed videofiles (where 1 hour film equals about 500GB). I plan on using Western Digital 2TB or 3TB SATA harddrives. Total storage in version 1 of this server will probably be 8-12 TB. Harddrive speed is not so important so a 5400rpm drive would be OK. Seems like the green line of WD harddrives use both 5400rpm and 7200rpm. I will use RAID 5. The processor will be a 64bit capable Intel processor and I plan on using a Highpoint Rocketraid or 3ware Raid controller. So now my questions: 1. Which FreeBSD version should I install? (it must support large drives). I'm currently using the standard FreeBSD 8.1 (STABLE) on several servers, but this is a 32bit version, right? I suppose I need a 64bit version when I use large harddrives? 2. I know that the 3ware Raid controller supports larger drives than 2TB (or was it 1TB?). The Highpoint controller I'm not so sure of, but I've had good experience with these on a few Windows servers and on one FreeBSD server. My setup would be to use the entire disk for both operating system and filestorage (in version 1). How can I create this huge partition/slice? I don't think the installer (atleast on the standard FreeBSD version) supports these large drives? Thanks for your help. I might have follow-up questions as my project make progress.

The processor will be a 64bit capable Intel processor and I plan on using a Highpoint Rocketraid or 3ware Raid controller. I would use FreeBSD 8.2 ( a contemporary RELENG_8 snapshot in other words) that is AMD64. eg ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201011/FreeBSD-8.1-STABLE-201011-amd64-dvd1.iso Use ZFS for the file system. Snapshots for backup and data integrity. 3Wares are great controllers, but a decent MB with 6 SATA ports and then an additional eSata controller with external drive cage like this one. http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx8-4e.asp see the man page for ahci on what is supported. Booting off zfs is a bit tricky. If you already have the 3ware card, a pair of smaller / cheaper drives for the base OS and then all your zfs drives for data storage is the least painful way to go right now. I do this for my backup server. 10TB of storage, but the box boots off a 3ware raid card in raid1 mirror for the base OS. ZFS is a bit of a different beast at first, but its very worth while to get to know and understand. ---Mike ___ 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
Escaping from shell-scripts
Hi, I'm planning a service with a login-user-interface. Thus, I want to restrict the user somehow to this script and to do nothing else. The straight-forward way would be to write this script, have all input parsed by read and then let the script act according to this input (let's assume that these tools are secure, it's just cp'ing and writing to non-sensitive files. Are there possibilities to escape from such a script down to a prompt? On the other hand, if I would take python for this, so a python-script is executed, are there ways to get to a generic python-prompt?

Re: Escaping from shell-scripts
I can't speak directly to your question, but also consider proper base security, so IF someone can get outside your script they're limited.

I want make a new community of FreeBSD for my country, i think i must serve a domain like you tell me. I admire your enthusiasm but you have to do your homework before you post again. Understand this: Your community is independent from the FreeBSD project it will have no direct connection with FreeBSD.org except for the fact that they just ___might___ list you in the usergroups and mailing list pages, probably once you have demonstrated that your community deserves it. You will have to set-up you own mailing list server (I suggest mailman), and people will subscribe to that list with their own e-mails just like you did to this list. You will not have a mail account with freebsd.org unless you become a long-term and proven collaborator of the project, and even then it's unlikely that you will get such a mail or even need one, and really it's not the goal of the great majority of collaborators in any Open Source project. From your questions I think you have a lot to read before attempting to form a community. Community building is from the ground-up, it's not like you put a server on the Internet and it happens magically overnight and you become famous. On the contrary, it will be a very hard and usually not appreciated by anyone, nor it will gain you any recognition in the short term. I suggest that before you do anything, just attempt to contact the other FreeBSD users in your community and have a face-to-face meeting to discuss the formation of the Iranian BSD community. Maybe in your university or other universities and institutes you can gain enough mass and interest. Contact the person that owns freebsd.ir and ask him what his plans are with the domain. If you are able to round up these people in person I'm sure that within those meetings you will find many of the answers to your questions. if i serve a domain, second step what is it? i want have a email account with freebsd.org like users in this page http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html That is just a list of the mailing lists in languages other than English, but each one is maintained independently from the FreeBSD project. what should i do? I thankful if you guide me. Contact every FreeBSD user you can find and have a meeting in person. Discuss with them your ideas and be prepared for a lot of hard work. Contact the people at IRNIC (nic.ir I copied their info below), I am sure that people in their IT department will guide you with this. Their Web site uses Apache 2.2.3 on CentOS, so they are probably familiar with Open Source and may direct you to other Open Source communities which will most probably help you and guide you in making your FBSD community there. Using a simple google search I found that on February 3rd, 2010 Abbas Farahmand posted on the FreeBSD forums about translating to Persian, he will surely be of help and will most likely support your cause: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=65925#post65925 Here is the info of your local NIC domain: nic.ir ascii: nic.ir remarks:(Domain Holder) Dot-IR (.ir) ccTLD Registry, Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) remarks:(Domain Holder Address) Shahid Bahonar (Niavaran) Sq., Tehran, Tehran, IR org:Dot-IR (.ir) ccTLD Registry, Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) e-mail: i...@nic.ir address:Shahid Bahonar (Niavaran) Sq., Tehran, Tehran, IR phone: +98 21 2229 0306 fax-no: +98 21 2229 5700 source: IRNIC # Filtered nic-hdl:as51-irnic person: Alireza Saleh e-mail: alir...@mini.nic.ir source: IRNIC # Filtered ___ 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 not sure what you mean by serve a domain. Do you already have a web site or other community-related place where people can join and talk about FreeBSD-related material?

Re: FreeBSD and large harddrives

I plan on using Western Digital 2TB or 3TB SATA harddrives. Total storage in version 1 of this server will probably be 8-12 TB. Harddrive speed is not so important so a 5400rpm drive would be OK. Seems like the green line of WD harddrives use both 5400rpm and 7200rpm. I will use RAID 5. As a user of such a system (1.5TB, though) I recommend that you NOT use the green drives. If you insist on WD go with the Black. I've had good luck with Hitachi, myself. The processor will be a 64bit capable Intel processor and I plan on using a Highpoint Rocketraid or 3ware Raid controller. I have the RR2320 and am happy. So now my questions: 1. Which FreeBSD version should I install? (it must support large drives). I'm currently using the standard FreeBSD 8.1 (STABLE) on several servers, but this is a 32bit version, right? I suppose I need a 64bit version when I use large harddrives? Running 8.1 for the AMD64. I'd run 64bit no matter what. You can always get 32bit to run in 64, but not v-v. 2. I know that the 3ware Raid controller supports larger drives than 2TB (or was it 1TB?). The Highpoint controller I'm not so sure of, but I've had good experience with these on a few Windows servers and on one FreeBSD server. My setup would be to use the entire disk for both operating system and filestorage (in version 1). How can I create this huge partition/slice? I don't think the installer (atleast on the standard FreeBSD version) supports these large drives? Yes. I'm using UFS (at the recommendation 3 years ago of this list) and am quite happy. The 2320s are supporting both an 8x1TB RAID5 (6.3TB) and an 8x1.5TB RAID5 (~9.5TB) without issue. If you get it all going OK in the first run you have a web interface for the RR223x boards.

FreeBSD samba+winbind
Dear Sirs, I am having troubles with IDMapping users from Server 2003 AD to my FreeBSD 8.1 Samba 3.5. Well, most of Samba documentation should be considered outdated, I had total failure with RID backend for IDMap. The only working (so far) for me is the default: tdb. I have set nsswitch.conf, pam.d and so on correctly. And here is my problem: everything works almost fine, wbinfo shows my domain accounts, I am able to set these accounts and groups as owners of files. Commands like ls, chown, id show AD accounts correctly. pw, getent - show only local system accounts. I need Samba only for file sharing with ACLs, no PAM authentication or something more. So, technically, it works but since I can't see ALL accounts with getent I think something is wrong. IDMapped accounts are with uid and gid 1 I think I am missing something very small and simple, so I hope someone will help me!

There have been a number of reports of issues with the drive's power saving design causing problems when used in raid arrays. Search the list for more details. Use their black series instead.

Re: ejabberd won't startup
Hello Panagiotis and list, I believe we are facing the same issue. Our setup is ejabberd-2.1.5 in a FreeBSD 7.3 amd64 jail and the workaround we found is running an older version of erlang (erlang-r13b04_3,1). You can find the old erlang port files in the FreeBSD CVS repository or here: http://noc.ntua.gr/~christia/erlang.tgz it seems a solution came up to run Erlang 14B in a Jail. A few minutes ago, Michael from the Erlang tribe provied a quick patch for Erlang 14B to disable the checks causing the issue with erlang 14B in Jails. Here's his quick patch: diff --git a/erts/epmd/src/epmd_srv.c b/erts/epmd/src/epmd_srv.c index ef471a4..e2cc2dc 100644 --- a/erts/epmd/src/epmd_srv.c +++ b/erts/epmd/src/epmd_srv.c @@ -766,6 +766,9 @@ static int conn_open(EpmdVars *g,int fd) dbg_tty_printf(g,2,(s-local_peer) ?

Also the Erlang folks might offer a future option to disable the check or provide another possibility to propperly run Erlang and Erlang programs (such as ejabberd) in a Jail.

Problem with Atheros under 8.1 on a HP DL180G6
I am having a problem with MikroTik/Atheros cards on a HP DL180G6. I suspect the problem is hardware/BIOS-interrupt related but I'm pretty confused as to what. Suggestions and pointers how to solve this problem are appreciated. I have the cards running under Debian 5.0.6 (Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 RT) with compat-wireless (compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc5-2-s.tar.bz2), FreeBSD 8.1 on a HP ML350G5, and FreeBSD 8.1 on an old Lenovo Z60t . They work both as AP and supplicant. Hostapd, when configured and run, is what comes with FreeBSD on those systems and 0.7.3 on Debian. The cards are a MikroTik RouterBOARD R52 and R52n on a quad miniPCI to PCI adapter. http://www.routerboard.com/pricelist/download_file.php?file_id=96 http://www.routerboard.com/pricelist/download_file.php?file_id=170 http://www.routerboard.com/pricelist.php?showProduct=75 I don't have the part number for the riser used in the DL180G6 to old the adapter. On the DL180G6 under Debian in AP mode, there is no beacon; however, if I pass irqpoll on boot /some/ interrupts are delivered but performance and reliability are sketchy to say the least.
