Re: upgrade 5.3b7

The new kernel will be loaded with the old world, which is generally not a problem. You can then do an installworld and mergemaster. This is a generalized statement. I would just add the word Generally before the previous quote of Ruben. However refer to /usr/src/UPDATING. The information there always overrides the handbook. For example, updating from 5.2.1 (or lower) to 5.3 first calls for an installworld before the kernel can be built. Trying to rebuild the kernel with buildkernel in an old world would surely fail. These kind of deviations are seen with major changes to the source tree, in this case it's the system compiler upgrade. It's never a good idea to do an installworld before building (and installing) the new kernel. Don't do this. I think you are referring to the 20040728 entry in UPDATING, which reads: With the upgrade of the system compiler, the kernel has been upgraded to match the new system compiler. This makes it impossible to build a new kernel with the old compiler. Upgrade your system via make buildworld and make kernel (see below) to fix this problem. This clearly states that you *can* build the kernel *after* you do a make buildworld. It does *not* say you have to do an installworld.

FFS vs. UFS vs. UFS2
FreeBSD's main file system is currently UFS2, but I've also heard
reference to UFS and the Berkeley Fast File System(FFS). Looking
through the kernel source I've found directories for both ufs and ffs,
but not ufs2 (/sys/ufs/{ufs|ffs}/). Also, it seems like Solaris and/or
other commercial unices also used ufs, is this the same ufs used in BSD
and how does this relate to ffs and ufs2?

Using Swap partition for Core dump
I have a freebsd 5.3 system that ocassionally panics on shutdown so I thought it might be good to get a core dump of it. Since I don't have a partition decidated for that, I thought I might be able to use my swap partition for it since it's twice the size of my ram and that it's useless by the time the system panics anyways. I'm assuming that freebsd doesn't touch it's core dump partition until it needs to core dump. Looking through the system startup scripts I discovered that the system runs a program called savecore that save a core dump to a file in /var/crash from a previous crash. The problem is that this is run after swap has been turned on. Since FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a program to format the swap partition like mkswap in Linux, I'd expect that FreeBSD will just enable that partition as swap without reconizing that there is a core dump there. If this is true, then is there any easy way to save the core dump automatically, like moving savecore earlier in the startup, or would I just have to boot into single user mode and try and save the dump manually everytime? -- I sense much NT in you.

There still remains however the problem of I/O starvation (eg, the system slows to a crawl while extracting large archives). What can be done about that, and are there plans to do something about it? A large part of the problem is that the vnode system grabs Giant and while that happens nothing much else happens. In essence the entire filesystem arena is single-threaded. The phk_bufwork stuff cuts the bottom bit of this: Today when you get down to the filesystem and it decides to read sector number foo from the disk it asks the vnode system to do so, with phk_bufwork it will send the request to GEOM instead which is a bit faster. But getting the vnode layer more multithreaded is a nasty piece of work which we can just keep chipping away at until we get to the end. read the whole interview: http://forums.bsdnexus.com/viewtopic.php?p=2236 Regards ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, I am having a problem installing FreeBSD 5.3 onto a Sun Fire v100 server with one IDE disk /dev/ad0. When I try to write the new filesystem layout to disk, it gives me the error: Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0a! Command returned status 36 Not sure what the problem is. Solaris 10 installs fine on this same machine. Additionally, I have an Ultra 5 running FreeBSD 5.3 which installed without issue. When laying out the disk on the v100 I tried doing both a custom and auto layout, both fail to write to disk and I have to abort the installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let's take Clamav for example. My freshclam logs say this: WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately ! So, I have clamav-0.75.1 installed from ports.

Floppy images of 5.X installation (was: Re: No really a question more like a reminder.)

The three files boot.flp kern1.flp and kern2.flp do not have instructions that I found to follow. It is common sense after a little run with it but still the manual for 5.3 still follows the older modes with kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. Thank you for your great OS and I wish you the best of luck and perhaps one day I might join the team ;) Take care! Good point. I committed a fix for this last night, so the online copies of the docs will be a tiny bit better. The online copy of the Handbook now has the fixed instructions regarding floppies: : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html : : The floppy images have a .flp extension.

These drivers are provided on the drivers.flp : image. Check README.TXT in the same directory for the most up to : date information about these floppy images. I'm sorry we didn't notice _before_ the CD-ROMs of 5.3 RELEASE were cut.

Also try avoiding fancy stuff like explicitly asking gnutella to link with gtk2 using build time flags. Also if you are not running really short of hard disk space, cvsup with ports-all. The ps -aux output had been snipped in the right. So could not make out a few processes. Last but not the least, gnutella indeed calculates hashes in order to differentiate between files having same names and accurately get the correct stuff from different sources and join them up later. But succesice calls to stat() (or any syscall as such) should not cause the kernel to freeze. If it indeed causes a freeze because of that, the kernel is broken and needs to be fixed. Also are there are cores left over in the filesystem? If yes just check if there is anything relevant. You can try to post mortem the core files. In case you are not comfortable with it, you can send them here. Some knowledgeable soul would surely do it for you. Regards S. Subhro Sankha Kar Block AQ-13/1, Sector V Salt Lake City PIN 700091 India I updated all the ports so that they're the latest version (as of just now), and searched the drives for .core files (there were none). I had it suggested to me that maybe it was something network-related after all due to the hoopla with finegrained locking of the network stack and drivers. My driver (wi) is supposed to run free of Giant, but I'll experiment by toggling debug.mpsafenet and turning on stuff like various WATCHDOGs and WITNESS and such, and see if there is some obscure bug somewhere.

Have you tried an intermediate update, say, 4.6 to 4.7 [or 4.8]? So many changes occur over time; and by the time 4.10 came out, 4.6 was very old*; so it's entirely possible that you might need to do a cvsup/buildworld routine to something a little closer to your box's date prior to attempting (and having any success) with 4.10. You might try changing the 'cvs tag' in your supfile to RELENG_4_7 or RELENG_4_8 and going again Kevin Kinsey *and probably past it's EOL. Whether or not, I'm sure it'd be nice if it _would_ build, but it's possible that the engineering team was under no compunction to test a migration from 4.6 directly to 4.10 at the time 4.10 was being tested for release, and therefore it wasn't (tested) ... like I said, I'm no expert, but a 'stepping stone' approach to the problem might work ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wondering if this is a common error
--- Thank you for writing back so quickly that was actually unexpected and quit surprising. I did find out how they worked in time yet now I have a new problem. For some reason the 5.3 release will not boot right. (5.2.1 Will work though) I will give you an idea of the system I am running it on. Pc Type: Laptop CPU: i586 Pentium 133 Memory: 80 Megs (modified from org setup) Hard Drive (custom install will give further information later) Laptop Model: Fujitsu Lifebook 530T Everything is pretty much standard in this laptop besides the added memory I put in and the larger disk drive which does work with 4.7 - 4.10 and in the 5 series it looks like *installing now* that the 5.2.1 works as well. Just so you know off start it's not the floppies I have used because I did get a working install on my windows pc running virtual pc. I cannot get FreeBSD CD's to boot for some reason yet windows will boot... probably the laptops own error. I notice on the 5.3 that it will not find the hard disk or cd-rom from what I can make of it. Says something about DMA and retries 2. If need be I will run the disk for you to better copy the error. The boot will bring up sysinstall but since it can't see the hard drives I am better of making the beeps into a music play. Now that I have 5.2.1 Installed onto my system and I find it works... that only leads me to believe perhaps something is not right in the 5.3. I went thru the Bios like crazy changing all sorts of things and even bringing it up in a bare minimal environment. Still same error no matter what I tried. I would like to give you this information not to complain at all. Like I said before I love FreeBSD. I just wouldn't like to see someone else have the same problem and I would like to see FreeBSD still keep it's name in being able to run on so many platforms. Thank you for your time and if you need more information on that error I would be more then happy to run it again on the laptop it is just a training unit and play around toy for my FreeBSD experiments.

Scott, I assume you are using the 80 gig drive that shipped with it. I was unable to get FreeBSD installed on that drive no matter what I did... I put another IDE drive in the Sun V100 and FreeBSD installed with no problems. I took the 80 gig drive that shipped with the V100 and put it in an i386 machine, installed FreeBSD on it with no problem.

So far I removed all html files (that alone was about 128M). Currently Im using about 315Mb. Looking for ideas on where to cut corners, hopefully to get in the 100M - 200M range. I've read http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html, but that is too small (I'd use it as a last resort if I think I need to go smaller).

Re: Unable to Install 5.3 SPARC on Sun Fire V100
Hi Matt, Thanks for the quick reply. The error you got is the same one I saw but my V100 has the 40GB disk. I plan to replace the drive as you suggest. I'm looking at a good deal on 2 80 GB 7200 RPM drives w/8MB cache right now. One drive is a Maxtor - which I have been very happy with in the past - and the other is from Western Digital. What brand of drive did you use to sucessfully get FreeBSD running on your V100? Thanks again for the info, Scott Scott, I assume you are using the 80 gig drive that shipped with it. I was unable to get FreeBSD installed on that drive no matter what I did... I put another IDE drive in the Sun V100 and FreeBSD installed with no problems. I took the 80 gig drive that shipped with the V100 and put it in an i386 machine, installed FreeBSD on it with no problem. The errors I received during install were write_dma errors, I beleive that has been issues with the ATA driver and that particular machine. Like Is aid, I have had no issues with FreeBSD, a new IDE drive, and the Sun V100. Let me know what you find out! Matt Lager Hello, I am having a problem installing FreeBSD 5.3 onto a Sun Fire v100 server with one IDE disk /dev/ad0. When I try to write the new filesystem layout to disk, it gives me the error: Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0a! Command returned status 36 Not sure what the problem is. Solaris 10 installs fine on this same machine. Additionally, I have an Ultra 5 running FreeBSD 5.3 which installed without issue. When laying out the disk on the v100 I tried doing both a custom and auto layout, both fail to write to disk and I have to abort the installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fwd: Upgrading 5.3-Beta1 to 5.3-RELEASE

Just want to be sure that I do the right thing.
So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3.
I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but
wouldn't an upgrade work just as well?
Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right:
??? go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup
??? issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2
stable-supfile
??? once finished, then go to: /usr/src
??? enter the commands:
There are some nicer ways to do this. 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. That means if you have
'WITHOUT_X11=true' in your make.conf file, that will get passed to
every
single port build you perform.
If you already have a make.conf file you might want to just copy out
the
MASTER_ lines and all of the SUP lines (including PORTSSUPFILE) and put
them into your own make.conf.
Based on information Adam Smith wrote in his last letter to my request
on this subject I just wanted to be sure that I have done everything
correctly.
I have edited 2 of the files, but am not certain about whether I have
edited them right.
So, here they are one by one:
make.conf
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?=\
ftp://ftp2.au.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
MASTER_SORT_REGEX?= ^file:

SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 -r 0
SUPHOST=mirror.internode.on.net
SUPFILE=/etc/release-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=/etc/ports-supfile
WITHOUT_GUI=true
WITHOUT_X11=true
WITHOUT_CUPS=false
[In the make.conf file I edited only the last line as I wanted CUPS on
the server. Was that a mistake. Also, I am uncertain where to put the
CVS server in this file.]
-
ports-supfile
*default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all tag=.
[I have removed all the commented out stuff. I have made this reflect
my ports-supfile, which works. Hence I changed default base, default
release. I think those are the only changes I made]
release-supfile
*default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
[Now I have never used such a supfile before, but I made changes
similar to those in the ports-supfile: i.e., I changed the default
host. But I wasn't sure about the default base. Then as for default
release, I assume it is now 5_3?]
I really appreciate your input and help.
Curtis Vaughan
PS. You have no link to your release-supfile on your site, but do a
link to a src-supfile, which doesn't work. However, by typing in
release-supfile in my browser I was able to get your release-supfile.

Gnome 5th toe packages
I'm sure i'll get my head bitten off for posting this in here, but i'm not getting any replys from any of the gnome forums. Does any 1 know what packages i need to install to get this working properly? I assumed that the gnome2-fifth-toe package would install everything it neeeded itself, but obviously not, since i had to install gnome2session and gnome2controllcenter myself from ports just to get gnome to work at all. I'm still having a number of problems with it though; 1. gdm seems not to be not starting up (and yes i have replaced xdm with gdm in my /etc/ttys) 2. Even when gnome starts up alot of the packages installed by fifth toe (such as the GIMP, gstreamer, totem and many more) are not showing up in the applications menu. 3. gaelon browser operates VERY VERY slowly 4. dialogs popup on startup displaying error messages about one of the applets gnome attempted to start on the menu bars (but only for one of the applets) 5. standard packages like unzip for tar balls are not present. if i right click a tar ball there is no unzip or extract option. These are only the problems i have come accross in the last hour since i installed gnome so i presume there are more. System info; 1. FreeBSD 4.10 i386 2. Up2Date Ports 3. Gnome 2.8.1 4. No previous installation of GNOME (or any other desktop environment) so no conflict there. Does the Gnome2 package need to be installed aswell as Gnome2-fifth-toe or something? Lastly (this may help you) BSD did not install X server when i installed the OS for some reason. so i installed it myself form the ports (XFree86-4) is there possibly a confilct between this and the XF86-3 components Gnome seems to have insatlled? Or is there some other packages from X server that need to be installed. i'm really sorry if this pisses any1 off, i'd be quite happy to research the soloution myself, but there is basically no documentation that i can find on installation procedures/needed packages for 5th toe.

LAN unreachable after 5.3 install
Greetings all, I've just completed update from 4.9 to 5.3 and so far not much is working. I went the format and install route to minimize incompatibilities. After the install, the first thing I wanted to do was get my network up and running. I've got a pretty standard setup: LAN on one NIC, PPPoE Internet on the other NIC with NAT addressing. Ignore the PPPoE and gateway side of things for a bit, my problem is that after install, I can't see my LAN. From the FreeBSD box I try this: ping -S 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.254 but none of the pings are responded to. From 10.0.0.254, I try pinging 10.0.0.1, but the result is the same. Okay, here is the WEIRD part: When I run tcpdump to see what's going on, all of a sudden everything starts working! It's as if going into promiscuous mode shuts off some kind of block that I can't figure out. When I kill tcpdump, it goes back to not working again. Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it? I strolled through the install notes, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. That makes searching the mailing list archives difficult also.

I use sub-pixel antialiased fonts in my Konsole windows because I like the way it looks. On the Linux desktop at work (and the deprecated Linux desktop at home), there was no noticeable performance hit for doing so during regular interactive usage. That is, a make buildworld or other take that outputs huge volumes of text would take slightly longer, but interactive processes like vim, less, and so on were as fast as with non-antialiased fonts to be eye. However, the exact same fonts were rendered horribly slowly under FreeBSD. If I were scrolling through a screen of text, I could literally watch the lines being redrawn as the page moved. Enabling RenderAccel fixed the problem, although I'm still not sure why I have to use it under FreeBSD to get acceptable speed but not under Linux. Last time I ran comparisons, I found identical configs of the same software on the same hardware to be much faster on FreeBSD. Of course, this was 4 years ago, but a 55% faster startup on FreeBSD isn't trivial. This was with XFree86 3.x and Fvwm2.2. It's running pretty well now, so I'm content with the current setup.

Or is there some other packages from X server that need to be installed. Nothing uses XFree86 3.x any more. Under 4.x the default is to use XFree86 4.x; under 5.x it is to use x-org 6.x. Kris P.S.

Kernel compilation failed in 5.3-RELEASE
Hi Don, Hi Jarek, I noticed the original post was signed Robert, are there two people working on this or is Jarek another name you go by? Just curious. Sorry for the confusion, my coworker finished and sent the message I started :) First Advice: don't make changes to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. Copy GENERIC to some other name and make the changes there. That's obvious. I did it this way. Second Advice: read /usr/src/UPDATING - you may already know this, but... - start with the COMMON ITEMS section, found towards the end. Then work your way backwards from the beginning. Also, look at /usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf or /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf Third Advice: there are too many other places to look for information to list. Handbook, FAQ, Release Notes, Errata, Installation Guide, Hardware Notes, Installation Notes, Migration Guide, etc. Your first questions: Sure, it does, if you use it as is. You're making changes and there are things you need to do in order for those changes to work. Second Question: recvsup should probably be re-cvsup, this supposes that you did a cvsup of your sources to begin with and something was wrong with it. So, do you have cvsup installed? Do you know how to use it? Do you know about supfiles and what should be in one? I think you need to cvsup your sources and go through the full buildworld sequence. I think you're trying to short cut and it's biting you in the butt right now. Everyone was a beginner at some time. I will try to check if this file splash_bmp.c isn't corrupted. John Murphy wrote he was able to build kernel with my configuration, so it's probably some my local problem, perhaps indeed with file corruption ? If it fails, I will follow your advices.

I haven't exhaustively looked at the man page on ipf to verify this, but reviewing what rules will cause ipf to check for any existing states may help. If they are hitting that rule and nothing below is catching response traffic based on existing states then I'm guessing that is what's needed.

Re: Which Apache version to use?
Tabor Kelly wrote: The apache13 port is just apache. The apache-x ports also include x. For example, I run apache-modssl, because I needed ssl support. mod_ssl isn't really a module since it (also) requires patching the base apache code. As for apache2, I think it is still marked as unstable (though some people successfully use it in production environments). The main advantage of apache2 over apache1.3 has to do with multi-threading vs. having multiple processes (apache 1.3 is not threaded). This isn't actually an advantage in FreeBSD because their is not much process overhead, this is mainly intended for the windows users. Also, some apache13 modules have not been ported to apache2 yet, notably mod_perl. In short, IMHO, install apache13 unless you need SSL support, then install apache13-modssl. Daniel Bye wrote: If this is to be a dedicated server machine, you don't really need X11 installed. My opinion, others will surely differ. As I'm learning from scratch, am I correct in assuming that I would be better off to start with apache2, or should I use one of the flavors of apache13 (1.3) and perhaps upgrade later? There are fairly large differences between the two, but if you can learn how to use and look after one, then you can learn the other one without too much hassle, too. If I use 1.3, why would I use anything other than the apache13 port? Take a look in each port's pkg-descr file for a little more information. For example, apache13-modperl embeds a perl interpreter in Apache to cut out the startup overheads of running perl CGI scripts. Apache13-ssl includes support for encrypted session (https). Thanks, folks! I'll use apache13 and see what happens.

Have you tried an intermediate update, say, 4.6 to 4.7 [or 4.8]? So many changes occur over time; and by the time 4.10 came out, 4.6 was very old*; so it's entirely possible that you might need to do a cvsup/buildworld routine to something a little closer to your box's date prior to attempting (and having any success) with 4.10. You might try changing the 'cvs tag' in your supfile to RELENG_4_7 or RELENG_4_8 and going again Kevin Kinsey *and probably past it's EOL.

Even when gnome starts up alot of the packages installed by fifth toe (such as the GIMP, gstreamer, totem and many more) are not showing up in the applications menu.

If the port has been converted to use OPTIONS, then there's already a
list ('make showconfig'). If the port hasn't been converted to
OPTIONS, it would still need to be converted to your proposed 'make
