PANIC on 6.0-BETA-1
Hello all! Yesterday I tried moving from RELENG_5 to RELENG_6 with a custom kernel. Used cvsup for getting files. Panic details follow at the end.

You can create an empty file that's as big as the space you want to add (using dd). Then concatenate the empty file to the end of the file that contains the filesystem you need to make larger. Then use disklabel to edit the size of the partition you are using to reflect the added space. Then use growfs to expand the filesystem. Depending on how big the filesystem is, it will save a lot of time over doing a dump and restore. -Glenn Cheers Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Shell scripts, SSH sessions, and for loops, oh my!
Thus spake Gary W. Swearingen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [25/07/05 02:13]:
: I'm trying to write a shell script that runs a for loop in an SSH session.
: Simply, I'm trying to do this:
:
: for HOST in `cat hostnames` ; do
: ssh ${HOST} for PROCESS in 01 02 ; do echo '${PROCESS}' ; done
: done
:
: But because this is run in a script, that gets translated to:
:
: for HOST in `cat hostnames` ; do
: ssh ${HOST} for PROCESS in 01 02 ; do echo '' ; done
: done
:
: Here's a few clues (assuming you really want the single quotes in there):
:
: echo THIS is SHELL: '\$SHELL'
: echo THIS is SHELL: ''$SHELL''
: echo 'THIS is SHELL: '\''$SHELL'\'
:
: which all give
:
: THIS is SHELL: '$SHELL'
Yeah, but...
The current shell still interprets $SHELL, and assigns it whatever local
value it has. I don't want that. I want $SHELL to be evaluated by the
remote system (the on to which I am establishing the SSH connection).
To answer my own question: it looks like sh just isn't the right tool for
the job. I'm going to have to either completely change my approach to the
problem I'm trying to solve, or use Perl and Net::SSH (and given my problem,
I'm tending towards the latter).

bsdlabel and moving to a bigger drive
I'm trying to transfer a 5.4 box from one drive to another bigger one. I've added the second drive, partitioned and labeled it using sysinstall's post-install configuration of FreeBSD menu item, created new partitions with better space allocation, then dumped/restored the filesystems. I had sysinstall create all the filesystems on /mnt so I could do the dump/restore. Because there was no / partition (it was /mnt on the new drive), sysinstall did not create an ad2s1a partition. The / partition on the new drive is thus ad2s1d. After the dump/restore, I edited /etc/fstab in preparation for putting the new drive on the primary IDE controller and the original drive on the secondary IDE controller. On reboot, I had to tell the boot process to boot from ad0s1d (the new drive is now ad0) via 0:ad(0,d)/boot/loader at the boot prompt. That works fine, but I'd like to avoid having to type that in every time. I figured I could just use bsdlabel to rename the 'd' partition to 'a' so it can be booted from, but here's my first problem: bsdlabel -e ad0s1 doesn't save my changes. I've tried this after a default boot and in single-user mode. Do I need to boot from floppy/cd to accomplish this, or is there something else I'm missing? While I'm on the boot kick, here's my next question. I tried booting from the original drive (now on the 2nd IDE controller) via: 1:ad(0,a)/boot/loader at the boot prompt, but it won't boot because it's looking for the kernel on ad0s1d. The only place I can think it would be getting that information from is /etc/fstab the IDE drive on the primary controller. I thought that if I booted from the IDE drive on the secondary controller, the whole process would proceed by reading files off of that drive - but do the boot files always look on the primary drive?

Dump/Tape block question
Sorry if this is a repeat. I posted this on the 21st and never saw it show up in the mailing list, so I'm assuming nobody ever received it. I have a question about dump and tape blocks. When I do backups, dump tells me it uses a certain number of blocks for that particular backup. I explicitly set my block size to 65K when I do a dump. When I read the SCSI or hardware block location on the tape after the dump, it's nowhere near the same number as what dump said it used. How big is each block? I'd like to know about where on the tape I am when I do an 'mt rdhpos' command (but I don't know how to determine the reported block size), and I'd like to be able to calculate how much data was written for each backup based on the number of blocks dumped (I assume these blocks are the size I specify on the dump command line). In fact, how can I calculate how many blocks my tape can hold? (i.e. What is the biggest block number an 'mt rdhpos' or 'mt rdspos' will report for my tape?) Of course, an obvious solution to the last question is to write enough data to fill the tape and then check the output of 'mt rdhpos'. I'd rather not spend the hours needed and the unneeded wear on the tape to figure that out.

Re: cannot install ntop under freeBSD 5.5
At 05:03 AM 7/25/2005, PK wrote: hi It must be a BUG in the freeBSD 5.4 ntop port ! greetings Piotr The problem you are seeing is because the rrd plugin that's part of ntop is supplying 5 argument to the rrd_graph() function. Which is ok for the versions of rrd that are bundled with ntop. However, if you have the rrdtools port installed, it's version of rrd_graph() is expecting 8 arguments. The error you are getting is because the prototype for rrd_graph() that comes with rrdtools does not match how ntop is calling it. To get around the problem, you can remove the rrdtool port, and then ntop should build without errors. If you're using rrdtool you can probably reinstall it once ntop is built. That may cause a problem if rrdtool installs any shared libraries that ntop uses. -Glenn --- On Mon 07/25, Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Giorgos Keramidas [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2005 13:20:05 +0300 Subject: Re: cannot install ntop under freeBSD 5.5 On 2005-07-24 20:14, PK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:brbr hibrbr I have exact the same problem and get the same errors.brbr to clean a port, reinstall or upgrade ntop or rrdtool doesn't help.brbrStrange.

Re: Dump/Tape block question
FreeBSD Questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How big is each block? I'd like to know about where on the tape I am when I do an 'mt rdhpos' command (but I don't know how to determine the reported block size), and I'd like to be able to calculate how much data was written for each backup based on the number of blocks dumped (I assume these blocks are the size I specify on the dump command line). In fact, how can I calculate how many blocks my tape can hold? (i.e. What is the biggest block number an 'mt rdhpos' or 'mt rdspos' will report for my tape?) It'd be real useful to have some intro to tapes and blocks, huh? I recently did some testing on my DDS-II drive to try to figure it out, somewhat. You needn't go to the end of the tape to figure the tape block size; take the number of bytes written and divide by the rdhpos number. If I cat to the drive, the tape records seem to be 4096 bytes. If I use dd, the tape records seem to be the bs size. The rdspos and rdhpos are almost the same, with rdspos probably counting an extra block for each file mark. Those rdxpos counts for a given file are the same whether tape-drive compression is on or off, meaning that with compression on, you can't well-predict what the rdhpos would be at the end of the tape, or what percentage of the tape you've used. :( I didn't try tar blocking, though the new f tar works fine to a disk file or piped to another tar. Backup duration (on my fast sys, anyway) is determined by how much tape is used, not on whether drive or CPU has to do on-the-fly compression or not. Except that (based on one test) it seemed to take the drive longer to write a compressed file with compression on, than with compression off. So I'll be compressing on the CPU and turning drive compression off (which has the side benefit of giving more useful rdhpos numbers). Suggestion: write an mt command that intercepts mt erase without a 0 argument, if you don't want to wait an hour or more for the tape to be fully erased. (You can't even kill -9 mt.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From: Galdes, Andrew (ERHS) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2005 08:27:37 +0930 Subject: FreeBSD is Very slow to load some sites Hello All, Freebsd seems to take a long time (up to ten minutes) to load some web sites. When i use Linux or Windows it seems to load at normal speed. I have installed Freebsd (same version) on another computer and it has the same trouble. I have tried both firefox and konqueror. The website is www.anz.com.au. I suspect the security of the site is the problem but cannot be sure. It seems to be some sort of DNS issue, but I don't know exactly what. An HTTP connection to www.anz.com.au takes about 45 seconds to establish, regardless of the browser. E.g. time telnet www.anz.com.au 80 Trying 202.2.59.40... Connected to www.anz.com. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet quit Connection closed. real0m44.633s A DNS query, however, responds almost immediately: time dig www.anz.com.au [...] ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.anz.com.au.IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.anz.com.au. 9798IN CNAME www.anz.com. www.anz.com.1 IN A 202.2.59.40 www.anz.com.1 IN A 202.2.56.40 [...] real0m0.288s And an HTTP connection by IP number instead of by name responds almost immediately, also. I see no packets coming from them (e.g. IDENT queries) that would account for the delay. One of their IP numbers (202.2.56.40) has no PTR record, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Another thread on this list [kde-freebsd] Konqueror very slow displaying some sites puts it down to DNS. Any ideas? Could be an issue with the FreeBSD resolver. It's happened in the past, but I thought that was all cleared up now. I don't know if dig uses the native resolver or implements one of its own. I suspect the latter. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I read the SCSI or hardware block location on the tape after the dump, it's nowhere near the same number as what dump said it used. Assuming you're using the -b option, -b 64 will tell dump to write 64K at a time.

I'm an ADSL subscriber, and I have dynamic IP addresses, and my ISP I am too, and saw as similar msg when first got going after installing a new OS version. A change in the sendmail config was needed. IIRC, all you need to do is do the make stuff in /etc/mail after removing dnl and fixing 2nd arg in this line of the appropriate .mc file: dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') SMTP on my machine currently, and I enable sendmail only for convenience for applications like send-pr. Last time I tried send-pr (years ago) it wouldn't work with my sendmail config and I've been using regular mail (from a PR template based on output of send-pr -P) ever since. I had a carbon copy of the PR message sent to, and received by, my mailbox at GMail. May I, if fortunately enough, forward my copy at GMail to freebsd.org to submit the problem report?

Crypto Accelerators?
Hello, Does anyone have suggestions as to preferred hardware crypto accelerators? I want to improve performance of our SSL-based web application, and making it easier for the web server to spew encrypted ought to help. :) Based on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#CRYPTO-ACCEL and the notes at http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html#hardware I get the impression that the Broadcom stuff is probably best, as they have had the friendliest history of driver support, and there are a bunch of different cards listed under the FreeBSD page. Anyone like to confirm or amend this impression? Vouch for a particular card?

Re: How to create mtree files?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like to use the mtree utility to confirm no changes have occurred to system files since 'make installworld', similar to that possible with 'mtree -f /cdrom/5.4-RELEASE/base/base.mtree' on a release installation. This would also give the added advantage of being able to determine the current buildlevel of an installed system, I believe. Is it possible/easy to create new mtree files after the buildworld or installworld process? I've looked at the Release Engineering docs but it seems more than what I'd like to do. I should add that I am running tripwire, but I really want to have a quick way to verify which files were part of which installworld. man 8 mtree has full details. mtree -c -p / is the start of what you're looking for. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD is Very slow to load some sites

A bit sluggish here with Firefox 1.0.5 (from ports). Page loads in

With w3m, every page access results in that approx 30 secs delay;
perhaps because w3m doesn't keep the connection open?

You perform a binary update via sysintall to 5.4, but that's an upgrade in my eyes and no reinstallation. I think not to update it means that you destroy your old bsd installation and perform a new one. And then you'll need that floppis (or a cdrom drive thats able to handle bootable cds).

While it is surely possible to figure out the problem and solve it, this may involve some significant diagnosis and surgery on your part, and it will probably be easier for you to just update to a version where you know that the software is buildable. I want to install (not upgrade) a new version on my 5.1 box. Couldn't find pointers for installing (not upgrading) from an existing freebsd box. You just install as you always would, e.g. by downloading a CD image. If you don't want to have to reconfigure your system (e.g. /etc, etc) then you use the 'upgrade' facility of sysinstall. All of this is documented in the installation instructions distributed with the release, and on the website. Also, is 5.4 the most recent release ? Yes.

I'm an ADSL subscriber, and I have dynamic IP addresses, and my ISP I am too, and saw as similar msg when first got going after installing a new OS version.

And then it turned out that KMail (to be exact: the qt textedit widget IIRC) handle[s][d] tabs wrongly resulting in a PR with an incorrect Makefile... the fun never ends.

I haven't bothered to find a solution for this yet. I kinda learnt to like it. There are always workarounds, but really such hurdles just shouldn't be there.

You can simply forward or resend it to gnats (the original wont ever be accepted), though you may need to attach your diff or shar as an attachment (plain text or uuencoded are both accepted AFAIK).

CARP Load-Balancing? (Or, HTTP peer load balancing?)
Hello, I am looking at building a tiered web application (web layer, DB layer) and am wondering about configuring automatic failover for the web layer. If possible, I'd like to avoid having to implement a third firewall / balancing tier, but if I must, I shall do that ... I am looking at CARP. The documentation seems soarse, and it sounds like the load balancing option isn't much of an option. On the other hand, I could set multiple vhids, one per web server, and rig it up so that if one web server drops its interface, another will answer for it. Then load balancing is as simple as putting multiple web server IPs in for the A record ... (With CARP basically functioning as a heartbeat monitor ...) Does that sound sensible? I'm feeling a bit wary of this approach. Any suggestions for handling failover of HTTP among peers?

Re: PANIC on 6.0-BETA-1[SOLVED]
Hi! I managed to recover and am running 7-CURRENT now. The morale of the story is 1.disable fancy drivers and scripts for binary compatibilites before proceeding 2. Prepare a backup 3. READ UPDATING 4. use unload all when building and after rebooting with the new kernel. Use GENERIC at first, then your kernel. Backup 2-3 good kernels. 5. recompile ports with the new system. 6. Don't diddle with the upgrade process - let it run Have a good one!

I saw http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/077661.html and will fight it these days. Finally I tried upgrading from cd and got with kernel panic at the end.

Glenn Sieb wrote: Nelis Lamprecht said the following on 7/21/2005 5:13 AM: There isn't a way to restore unless you have a backup. However, most of the binary files in /usr/local/bin are from packages/ports you have installed on your system. So you may be able to get away with using portupgrade(/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to re-install those packages and therefore restoring some if not all of /usr/local/bin. Do a portupgrade -f -a which forces portupgrade to re-install all packages/ports you have currently installed. Nelis, First I think he might have to go re-install portupgrade. Xu--as root, perform the following steps: cd /tmp tar cvf etc.tar /usr/local/etc/ cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install make clean portupgrade -farRx bsdpan- This will force reinstallation of all your ports. This will take *forever*. And, just in case, we've tarred up your /usr/local/etc directory so you have a backup in /tmp! Thanks for all who helped. I am just wondering the only shortcoming of Unix clone, such as FreeBSD, in contrast to M$ Windows, is the lack of a cyclin bin, from which you can restore anything you have mis-deleted before. Or, am I mis-informed on this issue?

status: no carrier with WEB enabled
hello, i am running FreeBSD 4.10 using an Orinoco wifi pccard NIC, using a minitar wireless bridge in AP mode. I am able to login to the AP using a web browser to configure it from another machine on my network (wired). When WEP is disabled on the AP, my card can associate fine and I am able to do a DHCP request to my ADSL modem (which has a DHCP server in it... i'm going to switch to using another machine as a gateway and the ADSL modem as a bridge as soon as i get my hands on another PCI NIC, then I will be using static IP addressing for my internal network). I enabled WEP on the AP, and disabled broadcast SSID. I haven't implemented MAC filtering yet. Eventually i will switch to IPSec, but one step at a time :-) with WEP enabled, my roommate is able to access the network via the AP from his OSX box using a D-Link USB wireless NIC, so WEP encryption appears to be functioning properly from the AP's side of things. I followed instructions for wicontrol to turn on WEP, set the ssid and the key as appropriate, set the card to AP mode and set the appropriate channel. after doing this, ifconfig showed 'status: no carrier'. Everything else in ifconfig matched the settings on my AP. i then tried: dhclient wi0 to attempt to do a DHCP request, but this had no effect. I then tried: ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid NETWORK_NAME wepmode on wepkey X (-- 13 digit, 128 bit encryption) where 192.168.1.x is the subnet defined by the ADSL modem, NETWORK_NAME is the same ssid as is set on the AP web configurator, and X is a 13 digit, 128 bit wep encryption key. both the AP and the wi0 interface are using key index 1. ifconfig still shows 'status: no carrier'. my first question is, can anyone see why this might not be working? let me know if i need to supply further information. my second question is, how can i pass the arguments such as 'wepmode on' and 'ssid' to dhclient, in particular what lines should i include in rc.conf so that a DHCP request uses the appropriate key etc. on bootup? thanks very much. iain dooley _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
