By default, it won't, since data loss is more likely with soft updates (anything that doesn't immediately write everything physically to disk creates a risk of data loss). But you can force it if you wish. Softupdates is generally turned off for '/', because '/' is expected to be a relatively small partition. Earlier versions of softupdates would behave badly if a partition was low on free disk space, and if you removed a lot of files immediately followed by creating about the same amount of files. This is exactly what happens when you do a 'make installkernel', and that used to run into problems if '/' was tight on space. That is not as much of a problem now, but it is still reasonable to have softupdates be off *if* '/' is a small partition which doesn't get updated very much. I have run with softupdates on for '/' on all my systems, for a few years now. It has not caused me any problems that I know of, but then the way I define my partitions is probably a lot different than what most people do. If we thought that softupdates made it *significantly* more likely that users would *lose* data, then we would not turn it on for any partitions! > I want / + /boot. It's that simple. Then create them that way. It happens that this will run into some problems, as has been described in other messages in this thread. For what it's worth, I (personally) like the idea of having a separate /boot partition, but I have many other projects that are more important to me (personally), so I haven't spent any time looking into this project yet. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

A normal FreeBSD system without softupdates on the root or boot partition should come right back up without a manual fsck.

RE: 6 hours of trying to configure my printer - solved
Hi bsdnobody, Looks great to me! apsfilter is a really nice filter program, allowing duplexing, multiple pages per page, etc. Of course, you actually don't need to run it. The real grunt work in your scenario is being done by ghostscript, which is converting the incoming postscript that apsfilter is massaging, into the language that HP Deskjets understand. Using Ghostscript in this way works great if Ghostscript happens to support your printer model (which it does) Ghostscript tends to support a lot of HP deskjet models. The apsfilter port installed ghostscript for you. For people that don't have a model of printer supported by Ghostscript, you can configure Ghostscript to pump out "ijs" format, then pump this into the program ijsgimpprint which puts it into gimp-print. Gimpprint http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ has support for a whole lot more printers.

Single user manual fsck's and all that. That's what a UPS is for. You can never guarantee data integrity with any type of write caching. FreeBSD attempts to ensure that the file system directory structure (inodes) is coherent at all times, if not perfectly up to date, but there is still a chance of data loss in files if the system is not shut down cleanly. > I want / + /boot.

Every ISP worth it's salt runs NTP on ALL of their routers. It is a requirement for tracking breakin attempts, unexpected router reboots, etc. Many of them configure their routers to allow syncing from customers. Point your NTP client to your ISP's default gateway and most likely it will work. If not, e-mail the support desk of the ISP. They will supply you with an IP number of a time server they run, or the time server their upstream feed provides to them. Most major backbones run NTP servers for the use of their customers. If your ISP is too retarded to help you, e-mail their upstream feed. I can tell you if I ever got a mail from a customer of one of our customers, complaining that our customer wasn't providing time services, I would tell that ISP that they had 1 minute to turn on NTP on their router or they were going to be disconnected from the Internet. > > > 3) If your clock tends to run noticably fast or slow, constant NTP > > corrections tend to do more harm than good, at least in my > experience.

Under ordinary conditions, ntpd adjusts the clock in small steps so that the timescale is effectively continuous and without discontinuities ... As the result of this behavior, once the clock has been set, it very rarely strays more than 128 ms, even under extreme cases of network path congestion and jitter. Sometimes, in particular when ntpd is first started, the error might exceed 128 ms. This may on occasion cause the clock to be set backwards if the local clock time is more than 128 s in the future relative to the server. In some applications, this behavior may be unacceptable. If the -x option is included on the command line, the clock will never be stepped and only slew corrections will be used..." So, even if you don't use ntpdate correctly, it still covers you ass.

Re: 6 hours of trying to configure my printer - solved
I got my printing working by installing "apsfilter" and by following some of the instructions in the (printed) "The FreeBSD Handbook 2ed". I am using FreeBSD 5.3, an HP940c Deskjet, parallel port connection, and the "lpr" method of printing (rather than the "CUPS" method). Initially I followed the instructions in the book, and was able to get some garbled output to come out of my printer. Then I installed apsfilter, which enabled some perfect printouts from Firefox. The apsfilter install created a new print queue that I had to tweak to make them compatible with the methodology I learned from the book. I never got the "text" and "postscript" filters documented in the book to work, but apsfilter works fine - so I'm using that. The sequence I followed is probably not ideal, but this is roughly what I did: 1. Make sure FreeBSD can see my printer: dmesg | grep lp lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lpt0: switched to polled standard mode 2. Enable printer in with: lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0 3. Make sure printer is able to print: lptest > /dev/lpt0 4. Add enable command to /etc/rc.local ( I had to create /etc/rc.local, so I guessed I need to make it executable with: chmod 550 /etc/rc.local ) 5. Create printer spool directory mkdir /var/spool/lpd 6. Build apsfilter: cd /usr/ports/print/apsfilter make install clean rehash 7. Configure apsfilter: cd /usr/local/apsfilter ./SETUP 8. Make spool directory accessible by daemon group: chown daemon:daemon /var/spool/lpd/hp940 chmod 770 /var/spool/lpd/hp940 9.

Some perfomance benchmarks at 5.3 release cycle showed that the way nullfs works is suboptimal, also file backed memory devices are very slow, but I'm no developer so I can't explain you exactly why.

You can make an 80gb (or 300gb, or whatever) drive into two partitions - a swap partition (2gig) and a / partition (78 gig) and install FreeBSD just fine. Doesn't the boot partition have to NOT have soft updates though? No, I don't think so. I created the setup you described about a year ago with 5.2.1, and I had serious problems if the system ever hard rebooted after a power failure. Single user manual fsck's and all that. That configuration should not make serious fs corruption more likely, it just makes it more likely to happen on the / partition (!). In general, the FreeBSD filesystem is highly tolerant of things like power failures, and should be even better when softupdates is turned on. But it can fail, and 5.2.1 was NOT considered a production release, so that could have also played a role in your problems. I don't remember if softupdates had problems on 5.2.1 or not. It's *best* to make more partitions (esp for /var) so that if something goes out of control logging, or you just neglect your logs, it doesn't go and fill up your only (ie / ) partition. Like most *nix OS's, it can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I want / + /boot. It's that simple. What are you really trying to accomplish? You want to run softupdates on / ? I believe it is perfectly acceptable to use softupdates on the root partition these days. The Handbook recommends turning on softupdates for all filesystems. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html I'm pretty sure my test system at home has only / and swap (because it has a small hard drive), and uses softupdates on /. I'll check when I get home.

Looking at ifconfig(8), I believe it's purely optional, ifconfig can reconize what address type your giving it. It's more useful when using ifconfig to display information.

FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE & SACK
Greetings, I've installed the standard FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE and have realized that the sysctl option for enabling SACK in TCP is not available (net.inet.tcp.do_sack). Additionally, the tcp_sack.c file is not in the /usr/src/sys/netinet so I'm guessing this indicates that I need a patch. Hoping to be able to use SACK in FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE, I wanted to ask : 1) Is my guess correct (Do I need a patch)? Or is my kernel configuration file missing an option? 2) Assuming I need a patch, what patch is generally recommended for using SACK under TCP in FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE? Any help would be most appreciated.

Answered by another poster - look at the timeout section of the man page. I think I really misunderstood the purpose of sudo. I thought that it was used to automatically login as root, give a command, and log back out to user who invoked the command. So what's the purpose of asking for the password of the actually logged in user? With sudo you get *logging* of every command the person using sudo runs. You don't get that if they use su (except for root's .history file.) The purpose of sudo is to allow "normal" users to issue *certain* commands with root privileges *and* to track what they do for accountability purposes. (Who deleted /usr? (*&)(&@#(&@!!!) The timeout is to facilitate the use of the command without having to constantly type your password. Imagine having to type your password every time you issue a command. It would get irritating real quick.

If there is not, as I think, how can I know what scancode is produced by each key in my keyboard (a program, maybe)? As a practical matter, for the console keyboard I generally work backwards from a known keymap (one of the distribution keymaps), and cut and try. man 5 kbdmap lists all the values you can assign to key combinations (note the "5" - otherwise you are likely to get man 1 kbdmap by default).

I find this works very well with American PC keyboards where there are only a handful of keys that are in doubt, even with fairly esoteric models, like butterflies with two keypads.

For the X keyboard there is the xkeycaps program (which is in the ports if not the base X package you are using), which can show the layout and keynumbers/keynames for most brands of PC keyboards and some usually sufficient generics.

Vinum raid5 problems......
Hi all:
I have a FBSD 5.2.1 box running vinum. 7 *160gb drives in a raid5 array.
The array has been problematic recently, but never anything too serious.
Always recoverable by a rebuild or something of that nature.
Two days ago, the box froze up. I brought it back online to see that
one subdisk was down. I started it and it regenerated overnight without
error.
Today, i go to check the box over, a listing of vinum subdisks & plexes
looks exactly as it should.
when I try to mount the raid5 partition, i get a message about being
unmounted improperly and an fsck starts. It says it recalculated the
superblock, completes, and mounts the raid5 partition.
df -h shows the partition size correct, but the used and freespace are
completely wrong.
If I try to do fsck_ufs /dev/vinum/raid5, i get an errorcannot
allocate xx bytes for inphead.
If I try to read from the partition, i cause a kernel panic.
I can post specific errors and logs and such later, i'm away from the
box right now --- anybody have any thoughts ?

IP aliases and forcing outbound IP
I have a FreeBSD 4.11 box whose ethernet card has several IP address. inet 10.0.1.254 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 inet 10.0.1.111 netmask 0x broadcast 10.0.1.111 Is there a way I can cause outbound connections to certain hosts to be from 10.0.1.111 instead of the default 10.0.1.254? I used to be able to do this fairly easy in Linux because each alias is actually a separate ethernet device (eg. eth0:0, eth0:1, etc.), but I haven't figured out how to do this in FreeBSD.

I agree, I run ntp on every single computer I own, but I was talking in general. But for a server, I'd expect them to use UTC anyways. The only advantage I see to local time is support for other oses or reading the time in the bios, neither of which will probably be a big deal on a server.

That's a point. If this is the case, i.e. you are using "ip" then tcp/udp
makes no difference. Did you lately do any builds or partial builds of the

Very odd. I'll give that a try.

Do you block UDP?
I am asking this because, I *used* do a block on all UDP except the DNS port

Yes and no. When fast forwarding is enabled, the network packets are processed synchronously, as they arrive, at the link layer (i.e. Ethernet driver). This lets the ethernet driver process the packets as close as possible to the original interrupt that pulls them off the driver's input queue, which is arguably faster than waiting for an asynchronous netisr (network interrupt service) routine to grab them later. This is faster for some operations, but it also breaks others. For instance, I think IPSEC doesn't work with fast forwarding. IP option processing is not done in the fast forwarding code. Multicast or broadcast don't work either. So, there are tradeoffs for the increased speed in packet processing. But they are not related to PF or NAT. At least, not directly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ipfw lost its mind?
I maintain a small hobby website running on FreeBSD 4.9 SECURITY. I'm
paranoid about security and religious about updates (kernel and ports).
Recently, the server began to exhibit odd behavior that looked for all the
world like name resolution issues.
I had recently updated bind to 9.0.3_1, so I assumed that was the likely
culprit and I began to troubleshoot. Bind was acting flaky, so I
deinstalled it and install 8.4 instead. It still complained about the
socket file (which is what 9.0.3_1 did) so I decided to dump bind and
installed djbdns instead. (Best thing I ever did. Response is much
better.)
However, the sluggishness problem continued. Last night I drove back over
to the server and, after checking some things, I discovered some very
strange behavior from ipfw.
Even though my script has been working fine for over three years, I found
that when I added a rule to allow all (ipfw add 1 allow ip from any to
any) the server immediately began to process traffic normally.
Keep in mind, before I made this change, you could still access the
website. It was just slower than molasses. Ssh and mail sessions timed
out and were unusable.
So, I removed rule 1 and created a new one like this:
ipfw add 00050 allow ip from {my workstation at work) to any.
I then ssh'd to my workstation and attempted to ssh back to the server. No
go. Yet ipfw show shows an increased packet count on the counter for that
rule. So, it's seeing the packets, but they're being delayed somehow.
Why the allow ip from any to any works, but allow ip from my workstation to
any doesn't is a complete mystery to me.
To make a long story short, I disabled the firewall and everything is
running normally.
My question is, has anyone else seen recent strange behavior from ipfw? Or
has anyone seen this *kind* of behavior from ipfw and knows what the cause
is?

Teh source is always a better source of documentation :) If you look at /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_fastfwd.c, the comments near the top say the following: * * Firewalling is fully supported including divert, ipfw fwd and ipfilter * ipnat and address rewrite. * Reading the body of the ip_fastforward() function is also very helpful. It contains both hooks for ALTQ and PFIL processing of the incoming packets, so the answer to the original question is that "yes, address rewriting and bandwidth shaping work with fast forwarding too". - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Question about cvsup
Thanks for a very helpful response. I have another query. As a matter of practice, is it a good idea to upgrade ports immediately after a kernel compile ? I do not expect that the ports depend directly on the kernel (for most changes in kernel), though I could well be wrong (for instance cdrecord on linux had major problems after the 2.6.9 kernel came out).

Audio latency
Hi, My sound works and when I use mplayer or xmms I don't experience any (noticable!) audio latency. In applications like doomlegacy and quakeforge I do.

If it's doing a GETATTR and a READ, then it should be pulling the right
file data, I think. Can you get the contents of the READ reply, and
see whether the Netware box is sending old or new file contents?

I wonder if it's the lookup result (i.e. name->filehandle mapping)
that's being incorrectly cached, instead of the attributes (i.e.
filehandle timestamp etc). If the webpage upload creates a new file
instead of updating the existing one, the FreeBSD client may be caching
the filehandle from the previous lookup call and fetching the old file
(which Netware still has a copy of because of the NWFS/NSS salvage
system). If this were the case, though, I would expect to see your
Solaris box do LOOKUPs occasionally to verify that its cached
filehandle is still good.

That should have done it, I think. Looking around
/sys/nfsclient/nfs_subs.c I see there is an NFS_ACDEBUG kernel option
you could enable which creates a vfs.nfs.acdebug flag. If you set it
to 3, the kernel should print out some timing info every time it
fetches an attribute from its cache. I don't know the relationship
between vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout and the ag{reg,dir}{min,max}
mount_nfs flags.

Re: Kernel problems on 5.3.
Hi Jacob,
You should try to CVSup your FreeBSD machines to get the latest code.
Read section A.5 of the FreeBSD Handbook. Here's the link:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
I can't say this will fix your current problem, but for sure it can only
be good, at least from a security stand point.
You can proceed to do so via ssh.
What you want to do is this:
a) Create the file /root/cvs-supfile which contains the following:
sudo vi /root/cvs-supfile
# cvs-supfile
#
# $Id: cvs-supfile,v 1.7 2005/03/03 15:53:56 drobilla Exp drobilla $
#
# Check /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile for
# more information.
#
# David Robillard, December 9th, 2004
# Host from which files are fetched.
#
# *default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
*default host=cvsup4.freebsd.org
# *default host=cvsup.ch.freebsd.org
# Directory where CVSup stores info about it's work.
# Will never grow beyond ~1MB and creates ${base}/sup.
# NOTE: The `refuse' file is thus: /var/db/cvsup/sup/refuse
#
*default base=/var/db/cvsup
# Directory where to place the downloaded files.
#
*default prefix=/usr
# Which version of FreeBSD do we want?
# Check http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html
#
# BROKEN?! *default tag=RELENG_5
*default tag=RELENG_5_3
# Defaults. Don't need to change this.
#
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
# What do we want to download?
#
src-all
# EOF
c) Create the cvsup directory.
sudo mkdir -p /var/db/cvsup/sup
d) Now copy the refuse file to your cvsup directory.
sudo cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse /var/db/cvsup/sup
e) Setup your environment. You should set this up in your
favorite shell's rc file. This here is for sh(1) and bash(1).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
export CVSROOT
f) Proceed with cvsup. Note, the first time you run things,
you will be prompted to accept the RSA signature of the
server you connect to.
sudo cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvs-supfile
g) When the download finishes, rebuild the world and the kernel.
Note, you have a custom built kernel, so you must change KERNCONF=GENERIC
to KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_CONFIG_FILE_NAME
cd /usr/src
sudo make -j2 buildworld
sudo make -j2 buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
sudo make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
sudo mergemaster -p
sudo make installworld
sudo mergemaster
h) Finally, reboot the machine.
Once your machines come back online, run `uname -r` and you will notice
that the current release level of the operating system has changed. For
example, my servers have changed from "5.3-RELEASE" to "5.3-RELEASE-p5".
Cheers,
David

Re: FreeBSD NFS client and Netware 6.5 NFS server]
To answer your question: An NFS trace on the novell server shows the web server executing GETATTR and READ commands when a file is served after it has been updated. If you 'touch' one of the files, the client executes GETATTR and SETATTR... and then the first time it is served it executes LOOKUP, READ, and GETATTR commands (after the first time it is served by the web server the client just executes GETATTR and READ). We were told to mount the exported volume with the NOAC option to tell the client not to cache file attributes. However, we do not see this option implemented on FreeBSD (we even tried it thinking it may be undocumented or still hanging around and ended up getting an error message). After seeing this, we tried setting ACREGMIN, ACREGMAX, ACDIRMIN, and ACDIRMAX to 0 thinking that timeouts of 0 would essentionally turn the cache off... but it didn't solve the problem. Is there some other setting that just turns the cache off completely? -shawn --On Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:03 PM -0500 Bob Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Here's a reply to my query. sysctl's are kernel values that you can tune with the sysctl command. sysctl vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout would show you the value of that sysctl, while sysctl vfs.nfs.access_cache_timeout=2 would change the value to 2 (assuming it is writable, which this one is).
