fsck
Hi, A few days ago, my server got hit by a number of black outs and brown outs. I've been kinda worried about the disk integrity and want to do some form of chkdsk/scandisk on it. I've read the man pages on fsck and I'm not sure where to start. Every time I run fsck, it claims my drive is not in a write mode. What switches/parameters should I use to do some sort of check and automatic repair of my drive?

3c905b-tx not working on fresh install of FreeBSD 5.0
To all: I have just installed FreeBSD 5.0 on a Pent. 200 MMX w/192 MB RAM and 3-8 GB HDs (SCSI-using AHA-2940U). My NIC is a 3c905b-tx. The motherboard is set to non-plug-and-play. While booting the NIC shows link on my hub, but no activity (duh), but as soon as the kernel sends configuration parameters to the NIC it goes offline...no link lights or anything. I know the NIC works fine as I was using it with Win98SE just minutes before loading FreeBSD 5.0. I use the NICs config prog to check all the settings and they all appear to be fine. This is only my fourth install of FreeBSD so I am quite the novice, but I have never ran in to an issue with the NIC doing this before... The NIC does state (hw-loopback) in ifconfig, but I can not find a way to get this changed. I have tried to set the mediaopt setting to 100baseTX or even 10baseT/UTP, but neither fix the issue. ifconfig sees the card fine before I send the IP settings to the NIC, but once I set the IP the link lights disappear. The ifconfig command still shows my card, but I can't ping outside the box. I can ping the IP that I set to the NIC and the local loopback. Please help!!

The fixes there did not work on my computer, thou. I have tried to play with sysctl and device.hints, and dis/enabling UDMA support in BIOS, adjusting cables etc., all in vain. The problem seems to be with particular CDROM brands, as one older Toshiba worked fine. Should I make a bug report out of this? It seems like a big problem to many, without any fixes. Is it a bug in the driver? My computer is a MSI6330(KT133) mainboard, 30Gb UDMA100 HD as primary disk in ata0-master, 10 Gb UDMA66 slave in ata0-slave where FreeBSD resides (master has Win98 and FreeBSD boot manager), and HP CD-Writer 8200i CD-RW in ata1-master. When adjusting the device.hints I got FreeBSD to get it as UDMA33, as it should. I don't need the CD in FreeBSD (but it wouldn't hurt to have it either), so the only harm in this is that the booting takes forever. I don't want to disable anything from BIOS, because I use it in Windows, and I don't want to restrict it's use/efficiency.

Re: FreeBSD install corrupts neighboring partitions
Happened to me as well in the past. With Linux as well. I think I solved it by installing BSD first and then windows, I'm not sure though. Raphael Le Lundi, 8 sep 2003, à 05:25 Europe/Zurich, Dan Harrison a écrit : I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.8 on a system which will boot it and also Windows 2000 Server. I've done this with two multiboot utilities: the simple boot manager that comes with FreeBSD and V Communications' System Commander. In both cases, I have found that when I install FreeBSD it corrupts neighboring NTFS and FAT partitions. After the install, the OSes in these partitions fail to boot or the partitions become entirely unreadable. Whether I tell FreeBSD not to install an MBR or whether I tell it to install its boot manager, the result is the same: Neighboring partitions are being corrupted to the point where one can not get to data on them. I realize that dual booting is not common, but I need to do it on this laptop. Has anyone else on the lists encountered this problem? Yes. I had it corrupt a copy of Win XP on a desktop I installed it on. My solution, I'm sorry to say, was to get another hard drive and re-install Windows on that.

Well, if you made a error on the root partition, this assumes you did not mirror your errors to the backup drive... Then all you have to do is boot using the backup drive from the Boot Manager. Would it work if I mounted a spare partition, on the same array, restore the root partition therein, and then edited /etc/fstab accordingly? It seems to me, though, that the kernel cannot possibly use /etc/fstab to determine what device the root partition will be, as /etc/fstab is itself on that root-partition. So, I then take it the MBR supplies the entry-point for FreeBSD to boot from (which will be considered the root partition), so that booting of a spare slice would require an edit in the MBR (which I am not too keen on doing, btw). No, you would not have to mount it. Assuming you had the FreeBSD Boot Manager on the drives... Ok. But this still means that, in order to restore the root partition, I will need to boot from a different drive, right? And I have no other, bootable drive in the machine: just the array. I had hoped that booting from the FreeBSD boot CD would have the same effect as booting from a different hard disk; but alas, the FreeBSD boot CD mounts the existing array, which brings me back to square one. Which, of course, prompts the question: is there not a way to boot from the FreeBSD boot CD that does not use the existing array?

I try the same with the native JDK1.4.1 however in /usr/local/jdk1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads there is only libhpi.so wich doesnt do anything. I have also tried /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavapluginoji.so without any succes. I have a whole lot of other plugins that work perfectly , shockwave, mplayer, acrobat , flash, etc, etc However I have not been able to get Java to work on Mozilla ever Currently I have the diablo-jdk plugin symlinked into the mozilla plugin directory and this is the error I get when I star mozilla in a terminal window %mozilla [1] 38656 %No running window found.

There *is* no way to have such a comprehensive list that would be accurate for everybody.

If in doubt, the best thing is to back up the *entire* system and you know you'll have a backup of anything you need.

I wonder however, how many other packages are out there with similar behaviour and what other directories i should have a copy of handy. Or, to put it this way: I would like a port/package system that i can rely on :-) In practice, this really doesn't bite port/package users very often. The Porter's Handbook states: If your port requires some configuration files in PREFIX/etc, do not just install them and list them in pkg-plist. That will cause pkg_delete to delete files carefully edited by the user and a new installation to wipe them out. Instead, install sample files with a suffix (filename.sample will work well) and print out a message pointing out that the user has to copy and edit the file before the software can be made to work. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-config.html) I filed a pr against XFree86-clients. See what happens... which perhaps should be generalized to configuration files installed anywhere, rather than just under PREFIX/etc. Of all the ports I have installed, which is several hundred encorporating general desktop usage, web serving, databases, etc., the only ones I've had problems with regarding trashing my original configuration files are XFree86-4-clients and the Horde, Imp, Turba etc. group of web apps. (These last, to be fair, always preserve my config files as filename.previous and updates do tend to involve non-compatible changes to the configuration file contents.) This is good to hear. Otherwise i would have considered moving to Debian/Linux. :-) The only other Gotcha! of this type is when a /usr/local/etc/rc.d startup script gets changed to the new rc.subr(8) style. Previously those scripts were generally held to be configurable files and you had to copy the sample file into place, edit it and make sure it was executable before the service would be set up to auto-start on reboot. With the new rc_subr style, the script doesn't need to be edited, but you generally have to add some lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable the service.

Not able to finish new 4.8 install on Compaq Alphaserver DS20
Hello I am new to *BSD and I'm doing a FreeBSD 4.8 installation for the first time. My target system is my Compaq Alpahserver DS20 (dual 500MHz EV6, 2GB RAM, 4x4GB RAID 0+1 and 2x9GB RAID 1 on storage works RA230 controller, CDROM + DDS3 on Symbios UW + ethernet controller, plus some misc I/O options). My installation media is a 4.8 ISO image I downloaded and burned to CD-R. The system was formerly running VMS in a development environment and is known to be fully operational. After moving the Symbios controller onto another system hose I was able to get the system to boot into the Sysinstall utility from the local CDROM drive *using the miniroot disk). I am then able to create the file-systems, nominate the distribution I require, choose an installation source, and begin the installation. I have used the auto-layout tool for the 8GB RAID 0+1 array and created a new 9GB /usr filesystem on the RAID 1 array. The problem I have is that once Sysinstall keeps stopping towards the end of the installtion with the following message: Unable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media. This may be because the packages collection is not available on the distribution media you've chosen, most likely an FTP site without the packages collection mirrored. Please verify that you media, or your path to the media, is correct and try again. The curious thing is that this always happens at the end of the installation, regardless of the particular distribution I have chosen. If I switch to the holographic shell on ALT-F4 and run ls on /cdrom I get an empty directory listing. If I try mount /cdrom I get a cd9660: /dev/cd0c: Device busy message. This must be why it can no longer see the installation path. Once I hit Ok to the warning message I get a message that says The commit operation completed with errors. Not updating /etc files. and I am returned to Sysinstall. Interestingly, if I try to simply recommit the distribution in the custom installation options menu I get the same warning. However if I reselect a distribution and then run commit, it will repeat the installation tasks but stop at exactly the same point (or a different point if I choose another distribution or choose to install ports). I have searched on google before posting here and the only reference I found suggested that it might be a good idea to check the CDROM drive in another machine or replace it with a new drive. I have tested this drive on another machine and it seems to be working fine. Thank-you in advance for your assistance in solving this problem.

This is only my fourth install of FreeBSD so I am quite the novice, but I have never ran in to an issue with the NIC doing this before... The NIC does state (hw-loopback) in ifconfig, but I can not find a way to get this changed. I have tried to set the mediaopt setting to 100baseTX or even 10baseT/UTP, but neither fix the issue. ifconfig sees the card fine before I send the IP settings to the NIC, but once I set the IP the link lights disappear. The ifconfig command still shows my card, but I can't ping outside the box. I can ping the IP that I set to the NIC and the local loopback. FreeBSD 5.x isn't labed stable yet. Since 5.0 is the first version of the brance it still has a high change that one can run in to some bugs.

Empty AUTH= in SMTP from Mutt message causing refused mail
Hard to define this one fully in a subject line... I have two FreeBSD 4.x systems running sendmail. I'm trying to send mail to a site that recently started using the WebShield virus protection system for incoming mail. If I send from Mutt, the mails are refused by the WebShielded site; if I send from Pine or from a Windows mail client (still through the same SMTP servers in both cases), the mail goes through. The difference is that Mutt-generated messages' SMTP stream contains a line like MAIL From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AUTH= whereas mail generated from Pine or a Windows mailer looks like MAIL From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] In other words, the AUTH= only appears in Mutt-generated mail. I have no earthly idea how this is possible. If anyone does, please let me know. I am trying to figure out (1) how to get Mutt mail through to these people again (it worked fine until they installed WebShield), and (2) whether they need to be notified that they may be rejecting a lot of mail. So far, it looks like very few people's mail will be rejected. I just happen to be one of them... Please Cc me on responses so I don't miss something in a huge list mail box.

I hope to identify how (3) can be happening, then maybe if (2) can or should be fixed or if AUTH= is supposed to be legal SMTP syntax on a From: line, and finally whether the destination site is likely to be refusing much mail as a result of their WebShield installation. -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com I before E, except after C, or when sounded like A, as in neighbor and weigh, except for when weird foreign concierges seize neither leisure nor science from the height of society. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: 5.1 WD 80.0GB SE Drive Geometry
Had to set the drive detection type in the BIOS to user (manual) instead of auto, and make sure the drive itself was set as a single master without slave (e.g. all jumpers removed) as well as specifying LBA directly, but with the drive set up manually in the BIOS, the jumpers yanked, and LBA specified, the install ran through (using the geometry FreeBSD picked) and it fired up just fine. For reference, this was a FreeBSD 5.1 standard minimal installation on a single Western Digital 80GB special edition IDE (ATA100) drive connected to an ECS P4VXMS mainboard running Award BIOS rev 1.2c (the latest). Thanks much to everyone who helped with this.

FreeBSD 5.1 Installation Problem
Hi, I want to install FreeBSD 5.1 but have the following problem: during the installation, you have to choose Installation Media. I choose the first option, 'install from a CD/DVD', but get the message Cannot find CD/DVD devices... (or something like that). But I can boot from the CD (it's a Mitsumi ATAPI CD-ROM, not a DVD). The module cd9660 seems to be loaded. When I choose Floppy... in the Installation Media menu, I also get the message Cannot find floppy devices... So, FreeBSD recognizes the CD-ROM drive, but it seems to forget those devices at a certain point. I was able, years ago, to install FreeBSD 3.2.

After a couple of minutes I kill the process. I'm using lpr for printing btw, if that matters. I think I've seen earlier problems (last week) with printing, resulting in a coredump but I didn't keep track of it since Opera coredumps quite often for me lately, on -current as well as -stable (nevertheless it's my favorite browser).

Bind query logging stops after a logrotate.

Webshield could be hanging on this, My first question exactly. :-) Here is what I am thinking... 1. You mentioned you can send via other MUAs, pine, etc, so I am inclined to think that your SMTP auth is set up properly in Sendmail... 2. Given this, I still think it could be a Mutt problem.. I think you are getting a null Auth return because Mutt is not sending your password in order to auth the SMTP transaction, and it is getting bounced. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this for SMTP in mutt, but only for IMAPS. Perhaps the Mutt list can help.. the only other thing I can think of, to rule out Sendmail as a cause, is to log the entire SMTP transaction, say using Pine and Mutt with your problem server.
