If you're absolutely sure of the number of characters you're removing from
the end of the file, you could use truncate(1).
Otherwise, you'll probably want sed or perl to check that it's not removing
important characters.

Help required installing 5.2.1
I have tried unsuccessfully to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 from downloaded isos. I have the i386 isos, but the first machine I tried was an Asus SK8N motherboard with Amd Opteron and 2Gb ram. The various hardware is shown as supported on the Hardware list; notably the Promise SATA150 TX2 disk controller. Although this is an Amd64, I assume the 386 version should still install OK? Anyhow, I booted from cd disk 1, went through the various questions, auto partitioned and it began "Extracting ... into / directory". This went well for a few minutes, lots of disk activity, then Panic - page fault CPUID 0 and was informed that the machine would reboot after 15seconds. I tried again, this time booting without ACPI, with the same results. Any suggestions?

I'm actually using tar because my data store is larger than my tapes,
and I can't find a way to get dump to change tapes for me automatically
(something akin to tar's --new-volume-script parameter).
The relevant commands I use are as follows (this just shows the /var
parittion, but I make snapshots and mount all important partitions
in /mnt/backup before I run tar):
cd /
mksnap_ffs /var /var/.snap/backup.snap
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /var/.snap/backup.snap -u 6
mount -r /dev/md6 /mnt/backup/root.var
tar -cvf ${BACKUP_DEVICE} --totals --preserve \
--blocking-factor ${BACKUP_BLOCKSIZE} --block-number --multi-volume \
--new-volume-script ${PROGROOT}/next.sh \
--newer-mtime "${TIMESTAMP}" ${BACKUP_FLAGS} \
${BACKUP_PATHS} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1
tar --compare -f ${BACKUP_DEVICE} --blocking-factor ${BACKUP_BLOCKSIZE} \
--multi-volume --new-volume-script ${PROGROOT}/next.sh >> ${COMPAREFILE} 2>&1
umount /mnt/backup/root.var
mdconfig -d -u 6
rm -f /var/.snap/backup.snap
Here, BACKUP_PATHS is set as follows:
BACKUP_PATHS="/mnt/backup"

Re: amavisd-new postfix issue

I'm having issues with dcc-dccd and razor-agents not working, but i believe that's due to my firewall, anyone know what ports they use, and that's not the purpose of this. I've got amavisd-new as a postfix content filter. It sends messages through spamassassin and an antivirus program, spamassassin interfaces with razor and dcc, which until i get those ports i've disabled. My problem is with amavisd-new, when i have the content_filter line uncommented in main.cf smtpd throttles itself, comment out that line and it works fine. I have no idea what the issue is, i manually run amavisd and it does not report any syntax errors. The below is the strange error i'm getting.

Im not sure how it works when switching 64 to i386, but they say it's not supported in the BIOS(I assume this is where it is suppose to be changed) So now I come to a cross roads: 1. Buy a 1.7 Centrino 2. Buy a P4 2.8GHz w/ HT 3. Buy the AMD64 laptop What is the state of the AMD64 version of BSD? Other than that im leaning toward the 1.7GHz Centrino, but I hear a lot of problems with FreeBSD working right with Centrino, is this correct? What are the issues? It runs OK, with some minor nits compared to x86 version. I'm not sure what the laptop maker is talking about... but if you boot the x86 version of FreeBSD, it'll work.

You could always put a sleep statement in the relevant /etc/rc* script. On some of our servers, we added the following two lines to the base /etc/rc script in the NFS Mounts section, because it would process too quickly and try to mount (and fail) before the interface came up: echo 'Waiting 5 seconds for interface to settle...' sleep 5 In our case, it was the ti0 interface, but the concept's the same.

Snapshot question
Greetings! I use filesystem snapshots when I backup my filesystems. I backup to tape and I ALWAYS read back the backup and compare it to the snapshot to verify the data was written correctly. I use FreeBSD 5.2.1-p6, and my tape drive is an Exabyte M2 drive. When I do my compare of my tape against my snapshot, it's not uncommon for one or two files (always the same files) to be different. The most usual culprit being my winbindd_cache.tdb file for Samba. I thought the snapshot would not change over time as the files on the filesystem change. Does this definitively indicate this particular file isn't being written to tape correctly most nights? (Yes, I *AM* backing up my snapshot and comparing the backup to my snapshot, not the live filesystem.) I doubt it, since I've gotten differences in this file on four different tapes, all brand new. What does this mean? Is there a problem, or am I missing something?

It was the same placid 39C +/- 1C. This leaves me fairly sure that lmmon is wrong; if it had been over 100C less than fifteen seconds before, the temperature would still have been decaying. OTOH, lmmon's value did float/bobble like a real reading. Is there another way to examine the CPU temperature on a P4 while FreeBSD is running? And, of course, there's still the original problem. In the UNIX v5 documentation for a system panic, one entry read ``Definitely hardware or software error.'' The next read ``Like the previous, but produced elsewhere.''

Support for Promise pdc20378 SATA controller
I am inquiring about support for the promise pdc20378 SATA RAID controller on a Tyan Tomcat S5012G3NR motherboard. I am about to take delivery of a server with this hardware and wanted to mirror two disks. The supplier is preloading FreeBSD (I'm a new to this OS) but says there are problems supporting the RAID controller. I have seen this in a recent previous post... "...the RAID support is great using the Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller for FreeBSD." Can anyone give some pointers as to how this support for RAID is achieved? I've started to look at the vinum and atacontrol documentation but am getting buried under a wealth of new information. Any clues would be helpful.

Re: FreeBSD cluster: ntpd does not sync time properly?
Rob wrote: Hello, I have a FreeBSD cluster, all PCs running FreeBSD-Stable (as of one week ago). The cluster has a master, connected to the Internet, and the master is also router, caching nameserver and timeserver for the internal network. The master has two internet cards, and there are 6 slaves on the internal network. Problem is, that as time goes on, the system time on master and slaves deviate more and more. Here is my configuration for the time server configuration: on MASTER (192.168.0.100) rc.conf: ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b time.kriss.re.kr time.nuri.net" xntpd_enable="YES" ntp.conf: # prohibit general access to this service restrict default ignore # allow hosts on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet to query this server restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap # localhost has full access to the server restrict 127.0.0.1 server time.kriss.re.kr prefer server time.nuri.net driftfile /etc/ntp.drift on SLAVE (192.168.0.) rc.conf: ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b 192.168.0.100" xntpd_enable="YES" ntp.conf: # prohibit general access to this service restrict default ignore # localhost has full access to the server restrict 127.0.0.1 server 192.168.0.100 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift The idea is that at boot-up, time is instantly synchronized once by unsing "ntpdate -b"; after that ntpd will control time adjustments. Am I making a mistake in this setup? Found the solution myself. I should use timed on the internal network, instead of ntpd deamon. That seems to work fine.

Generally you should be exceedingly careful about putting '.' onto
your $PATH. You should certainly not put '.' into root's $PATH, and
preferably not at the beginning of the $PATH for ordinary users.
ie. If you must put '.' in your path, do it like this:
PATH=${PATH}:. ; export PATH
or
setenv PATH ${PATH}:.
The danger with having '.' on a the $PATH is that you can trick
(deliberately or not) people into running trojan programs. Bad for
ordinary users, disasterous for root.
Cheers,
Matthew

I'll give descriptions for sh and (t)csh, which are most common; if you use another, you might write back and be more specific. In both shells, you can view environment variables with the command 'env'.

RE: AMD64 vs i386 for FreeBSD
Well I just got an email back from the manufacturer of the AMD64 laptop I wanted to buy. Im not sure how it works when switching 64 to i386, but they say it's not supported in the BIOS(I assume this is where it is suppose to be changed) So now I come to a cross roads: 1. Buy a 1.7 Centrino 2. Buy a P4 2.8GHz w/ HT 3. Buy the AMD64 laptop What is the state of the AMD64 version of BSD?

Yes, current AMD64 CPUs are fairly lower power even without the low-power models.
