Trouble rebuilding array on 3ware 7000 (twe)
I need a hand from a disk guru as I am having some problems with a 7000-2 mirror under 4.10. My 3ware Escalade 7000-2 has a pair of Maxtor 160GBs on it. I run them mirrored. The other day, a drive bit the dust. As the disk was well and truly hosed according to the Maxtor utilities, I chucked it and dropped a replacement into the RAID. The replacement disk was the exact same Maxtor model. (these were all cold swaps by the way, no hot swap cages here yet.) At boot I hit alt-3 to get into the 3ware BIOS and I started the array rebuilding. All seemed well. The 3dm web page indicated a rebuild was in progress. Disks were chugging. After a few minutes, the rebuild stopped and the web page showed "error." The console showed unhelpful twe0 Disk Error and Rebuild Halted messages. At this point I decided to play it really safe. I dropped a spare drive into a non-3ware IDE bay and proceeded to save off dumps of all the filesystems. All was well except for a few read errors on /usr. These were accompanied by a message about a twe controller failure with error 0x40. I rebooted into single-user, ran fsck -fy and tried the /usr dump again. There were less errors, but there were still 2 bad blocks, with the same error code. At this point, the system runs but I have a degraded mirror (with its own errors) that I cannot rebuild, and I am not sure why. - Is it still the case that a 7000-series 3ware cannot successfully rebuild under FreeBSD? I found year-old mailing list traffic that mentioned this, and suggested a Knoppix Linux live CD as a workaround. - Or, are the errors on the source drive killing the rebuild process? - How can I fix the errors in /usr? I ran fsck -fy in single user mode, what else can I try? Many thanks in advance for your ideas. With half a RAID I am running on borrowed time. At least a SMART probe of the remaining drive only shows 2 errors!

Using the boot-easy boot loader..
Hello.. I am currently running FreeBSD 5.2.1, installing of OS'es is really not a hard task for me, except this one time and it has to do with WINDOWS XP on my primary hardrive (IDE1). Problem is this: Since I am running Windows XP on my primary C drive, and I goto install the FreeBSD boot easy loader(Option 1), there was a time when by doing just that, It destroyed the MBR of my primary drive! Strange as it may seem, though why would windows xp be destroyed if I tried to install on a separate physical hard drive (D:/) the free bsd boot loader? I am some what "scared" to even bother with a boot loader. Please advise on what I can do to make windows XP allow another OS like FREEBSD to work though its on a separate drive. Synopsis of problem: XP installed on primary master (ad0), and freebsd installed taking up whole secondary master drive (ad1), goto install freebsd boot loader... CAN'T BOOT BACK INTO WINDOWS XP, AND ALL IS LOST.. I did not choose install standard MBR, I chose option #1 for install freebsd boot easy loader on drive ad1!!, not ad0!! help..

Well I think we're talking about 5.3-RELEASE, and I don't think that freebsd-questions is an "open-source discussion list". so what are you talking about anyhow?

mouse problem
This is a near copy of another post to FReeBSD-amd64 .. I wasn't sure if there was anything dealing with my mouse problem that was really amd64 specific (it seemed not, but you can't really tell) so I'm going to re-describe my problem, anmd I apologize if it['s possible that the same post (or nearly so) shows up twice). I can't get the mouse cursor to show up on text, and on X11, i can't get it to accept any movement command (in X11 it just sits there). I have been using a USB radio-linked Logitech trackball, and usbdevs shows the usb device just fine. During the insstall of this machine (last week, I've been really patient trying to get this fixed) I used the 5.3RC1 image, I have the kernel from there, I haven't recopmpiled anything yet. The -m on option to vidcontrol doesn't seem to show the cursor either. I sure would appreciate any help at all .. the machine is on-net, actually, so if you wanted to poke around a little bit, that might be ok. BTW, bug (I think) in the install docuemntation ... you have 4 disks (4 cd's), but the instructions seem to think that there is only one cd, there is no care taken to refer to any specific cd image, as if it should be really obvious ... it wasn't, at least not to me.

Check http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ for my make.conf, release-supfile and ports-supfile for examples. You can copy these three files into your /etc directory, and using the make.conf file, you can now just 'cd /usr/src' and then issue a 'make update'. Your make.conf flags will tell CVSup what to do. Make sure you edit the three files carefully, as you'll want to specify a local CVSup server *and* you'll want to make sure the make.conf flags are correct. Remember that whenever you run 'make', the commands in make.conf are passed as options to the make command.

Recommended Video Card with OpenGL Acceleration?
I've started down the path of OpenGL hackery, and am looking for recommendations on good video cards support by X.org that have hardware accelerated OpenGL. I'll be running this on 5.3-stable. Thus far searches have indicated that ATI is to be avoided, NVIDIA is decent, and "All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work fine in FreeBSD." I would hope that if a card is said to "work fine" actually does do hardware OpenGL. (I have a laptop with a savage twister [0x8d01] that works fine with X, albeit very slowly. It'd be nice to have that usable.). If people would care to bounce me a dmesg or hardware description, X/Mesa/etc. versions and some glxgears framerates (csdemo framerates would be even better), that'd be much appreciated. I'd prefer to not have a completely frankensteined system, but if I need to be running some package straight out of CVS, then so be it.

RE: Windows Network drivers in FreeBSD
I have managed to find an answer to my own question. In case anyone else wants to get an nForce2 Ethernet card running in FreeBSD 5.3 here is what I found 1. Start where you should always start. With the Handbook and the Release notes. 2. In the Handbook I found in the Glossary "Project Evil" (I also found a little info in the 5.3 Announcement). 3. The goal is to get MS NDIS drivers to run in FreeBSD using was they have dubbed "NDISulator". 4. Do a search for "NDISulator" on Google or go to http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt to get instructions on how to install the Windows Driver in FreeBSD. 5. Step five may involve prayer. I will know after I test tonight. Hello list, I have an MSI K7N420-Pro motherboard. It is based on the nVidia 2 chipset. I would like to make the onboard network card work in FreeBSD. >From what I have read 5.3 has the ability to use MS drivers in FreeBSD (Very cool). Is there any documentation out there from someone who has successfully done this? If not is there any information about how to try and make this work. Yes I could just go get another network card but I would like to avoid this as I want to move this system to a 1U rack. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

The opinion of a single user does not a user base make; every product has defects, every program has problems one can only hope that a product performs well the majority of the team in a cost effective way. If you haven't used a company's products for years you are not qualified to make any recommendation about them because you are not informed or educated about them. I'm sure you will agree making a recommendation with being informed is irresponsible and morally incorrect. You have contributed very little except spite and turmoil to this list, FreeBSD is a successful operating system in part because of the maturity of it's user base, I have not seen nearly as many extremists in FreeBSD as I have in other operating systems and that leads to a mature discussion with a voice of reason. Several times you have dismissed or attacked a member's post because "they did not even know about " but that does not necessarily detract from the value of the other post. You have spread misinformation and FUD about FreeBSD 5's performance on several occasions, made several unsupported claims and generally not contributed in a positive manner. > Please lets not get into "yet-another" open-source discussion.

If the 4 bozos who jump on everything I say will > just cut back on the coffee there wouldn't be so much BS. So when will you switch to decaf? Seriously though, in case you didn't notice this IS an open source discussion list, FreeBSD 5 is not just another snapshot it has undergone qualification and is in my experience and opinion very stable. If you would refrain from insulting people's intelligence, name calling and trolling people would not need to respond to your posts as they do. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what skills or knowledge you may have, knowledge without the ability to effectively interact with others is worthless and leads only to the unemployment line. In the future I hope that you will attempt to relate your opinions in a less confrontational way and present your opinion as what it is, a single person's view on something that may or may not be backed by fact (The use of IMHO is would be appropiate). FreeBSD is in general a great OS and my OS of choice hands down, however there are certain things other opearting systems are better at, this doesn't make FreeBSD bad it simply means someone else excels at a particular task. I hope that you can become a positive member of this list and support the wonderful and growing community.

When I boot Box 2, it gets its IP address, but DNS doesn't
get updated, so Box 2 is unknown to the LAN via its hostname.
If I boot a windows box (tested with 2000/XP), and I've tested with a
networked printer, they get an IP address, and DNS is updated
for those devices.
Add 'send host-name "gladiator";' to /etc/dhclient.conf or if you want to be
more correct:
interface "em0" {
send host-name "gladiator";
}
Dont forget to change the em0 interface to what your interface really is.
Worked like a charm.

You omitted too much context from the error to decide about that though. The most common cause of random application crashes is bad hardware (CPU cooling, RAM, power supply, etc). If the error does not repeatedly occur at the same place, this is almost certainly what's going on. If it's happening at the same place each time, it might be a real bug in gcc; the rest of the error from gcc told you how to report it to the gcc team. However, the mysql40-server port compiled fine when built on a default 5.3 system, so I'd look for the problem closer to home. Kris pgp5S0C7PnEM0.pgp Description: PGP signature

So we went from three losers to four bozos. What's it going to be for five, six, seven, and eight? What I'm trying to tell you is, although I feel no animosity towards you, it would be really nice if you would just be helpful and constructive, rather than negative and whining. The people who have responded to you have only voiced what most of us on the list are feeling. By the way, I've tested our competitions printers.

My desktop travails, 2: Glacially slow X.org
I recently consolidated my underloaded FreeBSD personal web/nameserver with my underused Debian workstation by scavenging all of the good hardware from the Debian machine into the FreeBSD system and installing X and KDE on the result. My first migration glitch was configuring my 7-button trackball, but that's working now and I'm ready to tackle the next project. The new server/workstation is a Thunderbird 1.4GHz with 1.25GB of RAM and a GeForce 2 MX 400 graphics card. I'm running OS 5.3 (built today), and all ports up-to-date (as of Sunday). Basically, many X features are painfully slow - much slower than they were on the old Debian system with the same graphics card, less RAM, and a P-III/933 CPU. The biggest example is text scrolling with anti-aliased fonts. I used to enable subpixel rendering on my square-pixel CRT and it looked beautiful. FreeBSD and X.org renders the fonts as nicely, but I can physically watch the screen being updated every time the screen scrolls in Konsole. I can switch back to aliased fonts and get reasonably fast scrolling, but the text looks ugly and I'd rather not resort to that. Also, although I'm using the nvidia-driver port, glxgears reports a framerate between 2 and 3. I've tried using both Nvidia's AGPGART and FreeBSD's own (following the instructions that came with the port and rebooting between trials to unload the agp.ko kernel module). So, any idea why my text rendering and GLX are so painfully slow? -- Kirk Strauser pgp6iaq1gz9WV.pgp Description: PGP signature

Any and all help preciated.
It is probably not a problem with the base Apache itself which is
leading to the segfaults. Rather I'd suspect that some module you're
loading into apache is causing the problem -- I mean a 3rd party
module like mod_php{4,5}, mod_jk or mod_perl.
The first step is to narrow down what the cause of the problem is.
Try commenting out the LoadModule directives in httpd.conf until you
can isolate which one is the cause of the problem.
Note: I'm assuming that you're using the standard prefork MPM --
that's definitely the preferred (in fact the only working) method
under 4.10. I think it's still preferred in 5.x, but in that OS
version you might be able to succeed at using one of the threaded
MPMs.
Cheers,
Matthew

Add 'send host-name "gladiator";' to /etc/dhclient.conf or if you want to be

interface "em0" {

The problem is that the records xauth(1) keeps in ~/.Xauthority are based on the machine's hostname -- and that includes connecting to the local desktop too, as a degenerate case of 'across the network'. So if your hostname changes, suddenly you may well have to quit your current X session, log out and log in again to reestablish those credentials. There are other programs, like sendmail(8), ipfw(8), natd(8), which will tend to have an adverse reaction to the hostname and IP number changing out from beneath them unless very carefully configured. Now, usually this doesn't pose too much of a problem as typically dhclient(8) isn't configured to modify the hostname. The trouble happens when the authentication system tries to *verify* the host name. It does that by looking up the name in the DNS, which returns one or more IP numbers. Then it looks up those IP numbers, and counts the name as verified if any of them return the original hostname. [Well, there's a bit more to it than that involving various other DNS record types, but that's the basic idea] You can see that there are going to be problems with this if you're moving between different connectivity providers: * Either you choose your own hostname and stick with it -- except that the IP num

Don't have my discs as system, so building and that kind of stuff isn't touched, luckily. Since you don't have it when you're transferring files, it probably has to do with FBSD's compability with SATA controller cards.

It is probably not a problem with the base Apache itself which is
leading to the segfaults. Rather I'd suspect that some module you're
loading into apache is causing the problem -- I mean a 3rd party
module like mod_php{4,5}, mod_jk or mod_perl.
The first step is to narrow down what the cause of the problem is.
Try commenting out the LoadModule directives in httpd.conf until you
can isolate which one is the cause of the problem.
Note: I'm assuming that you're using the standard prefork MPM --
that's definitely the preferred (in fact the only working) method
under 4.10. I think it's still preferred in 5.x, but in that OS
version you might be able to succeed at using one of the threaded
MPMs.
Cheers,
Matthew

I recently updated a system from 5.2.1 to 5.3 and had problems with ipfilter (dynamically loading it, as you are above). In my case, I noticed this during boot, when ipfilter was being activated: link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined The net effect was that the kernel module would not load, due to the unresolved symbol. In my case, I was using a custom kernel that lacked "options INET6". Re-building my kernel with that option added (i.e., with IPv6 support enabled) fixed the problem and the ipfilter kernel module now works. I'm guessing there's some kind of hidden dependency on IPv6 in 5.3 as far as the ipfilter kernel module is concerned. (This didn't seem to be the case in 5.2.1, from what I remember.)

To be fair, most of us just try to ignore you since you have not once contributed anything helpful or productive to this list. People would not get so upset if at least every once in a while you would offer some helpful comments. The constant carping on every question you respond to begins to wear on those of us who would really just like to learn more about how to better administrate our systems. We've chosen BSD, we like it, and we're not going back to the nether regions of MS. If you're unhappy with open-source, why not focus on Windows products and leave the rest of us alone. You're not going to find any converts here. As far as open-open source being the only one in beta, I work in development where our code is closed-source. Even we have to admit that our releases fit better into the category of BETA than RELEASE. The whole world of computers and programming is very new and most everyone of any real intelligence realizes that we all have a lot more to learn. The issue I have with closed-source systems is that when I spot a problem I can't do anything to fix it. Usually that means waiting for one of Microsoft's untold millions of patches and hope that it doesn't blow my system out of the water like so many of the Service Packs have done. That is why I like so much of what open-source is doing. We admit that we're not perfect and we don't know it all, but we will sure work to find the solution when a problem arises. As a final note, I have seen you talk about how much you know. How about proving it? Why not offer some real help to some of the questions posed on this list? Until then I can only assume that you're either Darl McBride or Bill Gates in disguise. I just haven't figured out which one yet.

However, these "snapshots"/releases are not really as much of a piece of beta software as you make it out to be. Many people download, use, and test the release prior to its actual release in order to cut down on the number of bugs in that particular release. That is the reason for the src and ports (and even doc, to a certain extent) trees freezing in the days/weeks prior to a release -- so that nothing new happens except for bugfixes and bugfixes for bugfixes and so on as necessary. This probably gives you the best set of testing you can reasonably ask for in a code base that is always being updated. So what it comes down to is that releases are snapshots of a particular CVS branch at a particular point in time that gets special attention in terms of use and testing. -- Alan Gerber ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Slow writes using hardware ata raid on older server
I've finally got a clean updated stable FreeBSD box, thank you all who have invested your time creating documentation that makes it so easy for us newbies. Anyway, I had gentoo on the machine for about 10 minutes... Had a problem with writing to my Megaraid i4 controller... It was terribly slow (<1MB/sec)! So I figured I'd try FreeBSD and see how that goes. I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell Bonnie output (below), things are not much better. I only tested with a 100MB file ($ bonnie++ -s 100) because I need to head to work and didn't want to wait for it to go through a whole 1-2GB file. Also below you will find the output from top while bonnie++ was "writing a byte at a time" and "writing intelligently". I only include these because I'm not sure how to read them properly for multiple processors. >From what I can tell, during the byte at a time write the processor is pegged, but only about 1/4 used during the intelligent write. Anyway, I'm stuck now with no idea what to do to fix this problem! Any guidance would be appreciated.

NDIS & D-LINK DWL-650+
Hi, Just before I definitively give up on this crap-card, I just thought I'd give it another try with project evil without succes. Has anyone successfully made DWL-650+ work with NDIS? 2ndly: Since I will probably have to buy something else, can anyone confirm that 3Com OfficeConnect 3crwe154a72 "just works"? The aht(4) mentions chipset AR5212, but on the Atheros site the 3Com card is based on AR5002X. Following the instructions here: http://tweakbsd.homeunix.org/guides/windoof-ndis-drivers.php The first failures was because I had not copied some windows binaries to /combat/ndis. Has anyone succesfully made this card work using NDIS? This is my resulting dmesg: cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=20 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=1 ndis0: port 0x1000-0x101f mem 0x8800-0x8800,0x8801-0x88010fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: init handler failed device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6 Interestingly, I have: # pciconf -lv [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3b001186 chip=0x8400104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = '802.11b+ 22Mbps Wireless Adapter' class= network but the device is not available for ifconfig.

You probably updated from an older 5.x to 5.3? This is libpthread's
obscure way of saying "there are two threads libraries linked to this
app and I can't handle it". Run "ldd -a" on your binary and see if
libc_r got pulled in via a shared library. If so, rebuild that library
so it pulls in libpthread instead of libc_r. A workaround until you
get everything rebuilt is to redirect libc_r to libpthread via
/etc/libmap.conf:
libc_r.so.5libpthread.so.1
libc_r.so libpthread.so

I've had problems with an Intel ICH5 SATA controller, and serious system lockups much like what you're describing. I've run my drive through every utility I could find and I'm convinced there's nothing wrong with it. I've been getting WRITE_DMA timeouts in /var/log/messages though, typically 1 to 3 of them before the lockup. Have you noticed any of these? I hadn't thought about the fdisk issue, but yesterday I did a new 5.3 install and got a similar message to yours. Based on the fdisk message, I'm going to keep an eye out for anything strange. I haven't had this problem in 5.3 yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to look up the drives data sheet (WD 160G) and see how they match. In the past, I've always let fdisk do what it wanted, but maybe I should have forced it to the mfg spec. Perhaps I'll retry the install using that method. If it changes anything, I'll post it here. Not sure this helps, but maybe it'll put a couple pieces of the puzzle together somewhere.

Removing the 1st check works for most apps, but some of 'em (xmms is the one)
hang up there; can anyone tell me what can be wrong there?

Thank You!!! Thats exactly what i meant. Thanks to the other people who replied, but this is my point-i have cvsup and it works, i didnt know that it was make.conf that controlled thing.s Now i can figure out what to change.

Re: re bittorrent
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Its not a legal/illegal issue. Its a "using more bandwidth than you are paying for" issue. Im sure if you were running bittorrent all day long your ISP would be very glad to see you go. I'm paying for a flatrate (ADSL) at home. I don't use the bandwidth most of the time, simply because I have no interest in leeching movies without end, but a lot of others do. In fact, the ISP has just upped the downstream from 768 to 1024 kbit/s at no extra cost. Many people I know have p2p-stuff running day and night. I mean, the company isn't giving you the bandwidth for altruistic reasons either, you pay them money for it. -- Matthias Buelow; [EMAIL PROTECTED],informatik.uni-wuerzburg}.de ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: FreeBSD DHCP client not working with dynamic DNS
Gerard Samuel wrote:
Box 1: Firewall/DHCP Server/DNS (FreeBSD 5.3)
Box 2: DHCP Client (FreeBSD 5.3R2)
When I boot Box 2, it gets its IP address, but DNS doesn't
get updated, so Box 2 is unknown to the LAN via its hostname.
If I boot a windows box (tested with 2000/XP), and I've tested with a
networked printer, they get an IP address, and DNS is updated
for those devices.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Windows Network drivers in FreeBSD
Hello list, I have an MSI K7N420-Pro motherboard. It is based on the nVidia 2 chipset. I would like to make the onboard network card work in FreeBSD. >From what I have read 5.3 has the ability to use MS drivers in FreeBSD (Very cool). Is there any documentation out there from someone who has successfully done this? If not is there any information about how to try and make this work. Yes I could just go get another network card but I would like to avoid this as I want to move this system to a 1U rack. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Thank you, Joshua Lewis ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
FBSD 2.5.1-p11 | Promise SATA150 TX2plus | Seagate B 200GB - BAD SUPERBLK / Machine freezes up etc
Hi, I'm running a FBSD 5.2.1-p11 server on a 350 PII. 1 IDE is plugged in on the motherboard. The other two Seagate Barracuda 200 GB SATA discs are plugged in on the controllercard. I get bad geometry in sysinstall (which is apparently a bug as far as I know from searching old mail-lists). Fdisk states that 387621/16/63 is wrong. Inside is changes to 24321/255/63. ST3200822AS is the product name for the hard-drive. http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/personal/family/0,1085,599,00.html is the datasheet. My problem is when I transfer large amounts of data to any of the discs. WIthout warning, the whole system absolutely freeze up and I have to manually reboot. When I then run fsck it reports on several problems, among them a SUPERBLK ERROR. I take it that's not good :p The disc has to be formatted and we go again. The first time it happened, I acquired a fan since they seemed a tad hot.. They were pushing 60°C. They are now around 35°C idle. High load is probably putting them around 45°C I believe. These are the theories I've come up with: 1) Both my discs are bad (brand new when I bought them) 2) The setup with the controller card and the motherboard doesn't work 3) FBSD can't handle the data-transfer very well after a while. Could it be that the data goes to the IDE and then to the SATA-discs? Thanks in advance, I really don't know how to handle this. Or, well I'm gonna try updating to 5.3 in a couple of days, since they have better SATA-handling I've been told.
