burncd issues
Hey all, This is the first time I've tried burning CDs or DVDs from freebsd. I have read through what I thought was the pertinent information on the archives and typed the following command to burn a simple pdf file (an old email from the KDE print system, which is readable from the hard drive) to the CDRW drive on my laptop: # burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s max data /home/user/email-test.pdf fixate The cdrw drive works for a few seconds, I get some output from burncd that indicates everything is OK and I eject the CDR, noting the burned tracks that are visible with the right reflection of light. However, I get the following error when I try to execute the following two commands: # mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom or # mount /cdrom Output: cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument Is there a different option I should give burncd or mount? Please let me know. Also, from 4.9, are there any other major issues I should know about burning a DVD? 5.x?

From that command line it seems you burned directly the file itself, co is no wonder that mount can recognise the file-system format. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html > The cdrw drive works for a few seconds, I get some output from burncd that > indicates everything is OK and I eject the CDR, noting the burned tracks that > are visible with the right reflection of light. > > However, I get the following error when I try to execute the following two > commands: > > # mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom > or > # mount /cdrom > > Output: cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument > > Is there a different option I should give burncd or mount?

SFTP Access Restrictions

You can write the file direct to the floppy device /dev/fd0 as if it
was a tape. No need to mount any sort of filesystem. Since you have
cpio(1) available use:
# cd /usr/libexec
# echo ./ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -o > /dev/fd0
Then to extract the file:
# cd /usr/libexec
# cpio -i < /dev/fd0
Cheers,
Matthew

1024x768 on a toshiba 8100 tecra in a text (Non X) Console screen
First of all the best wishes for all of you. I have seen people puzzling with the following before but never saw a definitive answer on the topic. I have FreeBSD 5.2 on a toshiba tecra 8100 with the following in /boot/loader.conf. snd_pcm_load="YES" # Digital sound subsystem snd_ds1_load="YES" # ds1 vesa_load="YES" # Set this to YES to load the vesa module # splash_bmp_load="YES"# Set this to YES for bmp splash screen! bitmap_load="YES"# Set this to YES if you want splash screen! bitmap_name="/boot/daemon.bmp" # Set this to the name of the bmp or pcx file # console="vidconsole" # Set the current console I want to be able to use my full screen in text (Not X) mode. Right now the standard resolution is 640x480 and I would like to get it to 1024x768. When I do a "vidcontrol -i mode" I get plenty of resolution options presented. One of them : 261 (0x105) 0x000f G 1024x768x8 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 8192k "vidcontrol -g 1024x768x8" will not give me error messages but the screen resolution doesn't change. This is a piece of my dmesg output : VESA: v2.0, 8192k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xc0a01c82 (122) VESA: S3 Incorporated. M7 BIOS In case some of you might wonder where you can get splash screens, this is where I got mine : http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/.

This kind of thing can be quite tricky. If you want it to be invisible to the users, it will be a huge amount of work. In most situations, you're better off just having a spare machine ready to take over and letting the users know that the backup won't be fully up to date.

You could try the Equalizer series of load balancing appliances from
Coyote Point software (www.coyotepoint.com). They are designed for network
load balancing but they have an automatic failover mode so that machine
'B' takes over immediately when machine 'A' is unavailable.
Of course keeping your content synchronized between two machines is a
different kettle of fish. In the application in which we used the
Equalizers. IIRC we used rsync to keep a fairly live database up to date
(we had to because we used the devices for load balancing primarily so
they were actually both in used concurrently). This seems like it would be
quite involved if you wanted to keep an e-mail server for several users
ready to fail over.
Oh, BTW, the equalizer is a software-based device that runs FreeBSD
internally. Also worth noting is that the support we got from Coyote Point
was exemplary.

Well, for one thing sshd(8) doesn't use login(1) by default, so login.conf won't affect it at all.

Re: 4.9, 5.1 boot failure after install
Hi, I've tried both methods. Letting the install program WRITE to FDISK upon completion and writing directly after making the partitions and setting the labels. Writing during the install gives the prompt that on new installs the routine will write later, do I really want to do it now. When I click yes I get the prompt that it is successfully written. I assume that when I return to fdisk it will show a current setting (ie. active or not). Is the install operating on a ramdisk doing a final write on completion? I read one place that a person had the same problem and installed redhat successfully then reinstalled FreeBSD and the geometry was changed in fdisk.

Can I Boot From ad1? How?
I have a 4.9 system that has two identical 850 MB drives and a 4 GB drive. The system boots from one of the 850 MB drives (ad0s1a) and uses a 50 MB slice (?) for root. The rest of this drive is unused. The 4 GB drive (ad2s1e) contains /usr. The other standard filesystems such at /var, /tmp, etc. are symlinked to /usr/* as suggested in The Complete FreeBSD for simple systems. Anyway, the system is sometimes inaccessible due to a flurry of hard errors on ad0. The only way into the system is to power off/on and then let fsck sort things out. Then the system will run fine for days and even weeks but it will eventually happen again. I suspect a complete disk failure is eminent. Thus, I would like to use ad1 (the unused 850 MB drive) in place of ad0 but instead of limiting the root partition to 50 MB, I'd like to just use the whole disk. I have followed instructions from man and web pages in an attempt to get this going. I used /stand/sysinstall to fdisk and added the boot flag. Here's the current fdisk output: blacksheep# fdisk -s ad1 /dev/ad1: 6616 cyl 4 hd 63 sec PartStartSize Type Flags 1: 0 1667232 0xa5 0x80 Then I used /stand/sysinstall to disklabel and newfs. Here's the current disklabel output: blacksheep# disklabel ad1 # /dev/ad1c: type: ESDI disk: ad1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 4 sectors/cylinder: 252 cylinders: 6616 sectors/unit: 1667232 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 166723204.2BSD 2048 1638490 # (Cyl.0 - 6615) c: 16672320unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 6615) Next, I mounted ad1s1a and used the dump/restore example from the FAQ to copy the contents of ad0s1a to ad1s1a. Now for the test... I read the boot man page and surmised that the way to boot from ad1 was to use '1:ad(0,a)/kernel' at the boot prompt but I get this error: Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x47a14bc0) Invalid format I've never attempted anything like this before so it's very possible I'm missing something basic.

low level disk partition (NTFS) backup and restore
Howdy list, I've got a slight problem that I'm not sure how to solve, but I'm fairly sure FreeBSD is capable of helping me solve. Here's the situation: I have an IBM Thinkpad A30p with a 40Gb HDD. This drive contains a 10 Gb NTFS partition holding Windows XP and a 30 Gb partition holding FreeBSD 5.2-RC1. Also, I have a desktop machine at home running Windows 98 SE on a 20 Gb hard disk. Now, as many of you know, Win 98 SE isn't a very nice Operating System. I'd _love_ to put FreeBSD on that computer, but unfortunately I can't. My wife is going to school and may need MS Office someday soon. And I own an external Backpack CDRW parallel drive that isn't support by FreeBSD (and Linux is out of the question). So, what I want to do is copy the 10 Gb NTFS partition from my laptop to the Win 98 SE computer's hard disk drive. I don't use Win XP on my laptop much, so I'll delete it once I can verify that it's successfully installed on the Win 98 SE machine. I've scoured the internet, and so far I can't find a way to do this from Windows (wow, big surprise). Win XP's "ntbackup" utility doesn't provide any way to restore on a non Win XP machine, AFAICT. Is there some way I can do this using tools like 'dd' and gzip? Here are the things I'd like to accomplish: 1.) Low level (including MBR, if possible) compressed copy of my NTFS partition to external USB 30 Gb hard drive. 2.) Boot FreeBSD Fixit media CDROM on Win 98 SE computer. Mount external USB drive containing compressed copy of NTFS partition. 3.) Decompress and write NTFS partition from external USB drive to Win 98 SE computer's hard disk drive. 4.) Run some kind of partitioning tool (BootItNG?) to make sure the (former) Win 98 SE machine's partition tables are correct. Does this sound do-able? What commands would I use to backup and restore the NTFS partition? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

installation with a usb keyboard
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.9-stable with a usb keyboard. At the initial installation prompt (press enter to boot...), my keyboard works. I can even pause the boot loader to call up a command prompt. However, once the installation kernel boots, my keyboard doesn't work anymore. Is there a fix to this? >From reading stuff on the web, I've discovered two suggestions: (1) Use a PS/2 keyboard for installation - your USB keyboard will work when installation is finished. This doesn't help me because my computer has only USB ports. (2) Enable "legacy / AT keyboard emulation" in BIOS. This doesn't help me because I don't have that option in BIOS. More importantly, it seems to be on by default, which explains my ability to use the keyboard at the initial prompt. However, according to some older posts, it turns off by default once the FreeBSD kernel loads, because the kernel recognizes USB devices, so the BIOS senses that AT emulation isn't necessary. This seems like a supreme irony: because FreeBSD supports USB devices, my USB device doesn't work. The last posts on this topic were March 2002. Has anything happened since then? Does anyone know a work-around? If FreeBSD supports USB devices, why doesn't it support them during installation? Any help much appreciated.

How can I see that there is a flaky disk in a non-rebooted system?

Two little CVS questions
1. How do I check in a revision with the file date instead of the
current date (like cvs import -d, only there's no such option for cvs
co)?
2. Do any utilities already exist for appending one repo (,v) file to
another, or even intelligently merging repo files so that you get a
history containing all revisions from both?
These issues are coming up a lot as I try to move a lot of projects
into CVS without losing what history we have of their development.
This tends to involve massive directory searches, file sorts by date,
intelligently organized file copying and cvs imports, etc... but an
oversight amid all that would be MUCH easier to fix if I could do the
above things.

I don't think this is true - whether or not login is called is dependent on the shell set for each user - I may be wrong though :P.

Screensaver issue
I recently spent some time with portupgrade, fixing a bunch of messed-up dependencies and ensuring that my GNOME was fully updated to 2.4. When I was done, most things were pretty much the same, but now my screen turns off after about five minutes or so. This is not apparently related to xscreensaver, which is set not to go on until 30 minutes pass. Are there other screensavers that might be running, or some other explanation for the screen turning off after such a short time? Any mouse movement or keyboard touch turns it on again.

RE: FTP Problem
You post is lacking details about what and from where you are doing things from. I will try to guess at what you are trying to say. You have pc with FBSD as gateway with LAN behind it. You have FTP enabled in inted for auto launch on request. Lan users can FTP into their /home directories. Your FBSD gateway has static public ip address with registered domain name pointing to it. From another pc with ms/windows system you gained access to the public internet and used the free shareware FTP program WS_FTP to login to your account on your FBSD gateway box and FTP into your home directory and it would not work. This sounds like your firewall does not have rules to allow FTP access from the public internet, or you have WS_FTP configured to use active FTP instead of passive FTP.

If you have a domain, I think you need to look into something like zoneedit.com: the dyndns and no-ip,org solutions, at least for free, don't cover domains outside their own namespace. With zoneedit you can have up to 5 domains for free. To keep them in sync with your dynamic host, you could use zoneclient.py (http://zoneclient.sourceforge.net/). It's worked fine for me so far (touch simulated woodgrain). -- Paul Beard paulbeard [at] mac.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: What logs etc do I need to checkfrequently?

I did have a RAID-5 system with fresh disks, however, shit happens and I have a feeling that this could have been avoided if I read my log files better. I'm sorry that you lost data. While you may have been able to notice the problem with the RAID-5 array in time to do something, what you ought to do to avoid losing more data sometime in the future involves making good backups-- not poring over the system log files, not configuring RAID. So basically, a) I get a mail each time my a cron-event fires, this happens every 30 min so the mailbox are quite loaded, not very funny going through. If you can, change the cron task to not generate output unless there is a problem that you should know about. Failing that, append "> /dev/null 2>&1" to the line in your crontab, which will discard the output, meaning you won't get mail from cron. a1) Is it possible to only get a mail with critical information, where and what do I need to do to achieve this? My comments above should help you reduce the amount of junk mail you get from cron. b1) Where will information about ongoing disk-problems appear? How can I see that there is a flaky disk in a non-rebooted system? /var/log/messages. The system will complain quite noticably in the face of hardware errors, and should log one or more lines for every bad sector it runs into. On the other hand, depending on the hard drive to fail gradually is risky: hard drives can fail catestrophically without giving significant warning. Some failure modes-- stiction in particular-- can sometimes be worked around on a temporary basis long enough to recover data without heroic measures (ie, paying a data recovery company a few grand). It's important to realize that while RAID modes which provide fault-tolerance do improve availability (ie, they can save your data if a drive goes), RAID is not a substitute for backups. In particular, RAID-5 or RAID-1 doesn't help a bit if someone deletes or overwrites a file In addition to the questions above, is there something else I need to tune/install/setup/configurare to get a very reliable system that report critical data to me but where non-critical data is filtered out? /etc/syslog.conf defines the configuration of system logging, and it is worth reviewing that to understand what is being logged and where. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: ghostview missing libc.so.4?
Mine has libc.so.5. No wonder the app is failing, it specifically wants .4 and is too dumb to work with anything newer. I'm getting real frustrated with this again, I'd like to move away from MS but it's not easy to do when the apps I need don't even work properly. -- Chip paul beard wrote: On Dec 27, 2003, at 8:17 PM, chip wrote: I just installed ghostview and when I try to open a .ps file I get the error that libc.so.4 is missing.

You could fake it out with a symlink, but the Real Solution may be to rebuild whatever that file is part of, which I assume means a buildworld.
