How do I make /dev/ar0s1a 0.0% fragmentation the clean way? If I really wanted to? You don't. The term fragmentation does not mean the same thing in FreeBSD that it does in other OS's. (ie windows) Fragmentation in FreeBSD refers to blocks that have not been fully allocated. For example, if I have a file system that has 16K blocks, and 2K fragments (think of fragments as sub-blocks if it helps), and I save an 18K file, it will occupy 1 block and 1 fragment from the next block. That second block then is said to be fragmented. In the windows world, fragmentation refers to files which occupy non-contiguous groups of blocks. For example, you might have 5 blocks in a row, and then have to move to another part of the disk to read the next 5 blocks. 2. How come /tmp is -0% in size? -278K? What had happened? as I have never experienced this in the previous installs on the exact same hardware. Not sure about that one.

You can set the size of an xterm with the geometry resource: 'XTerm*geometry: 80x40' where the size (width x height) is given in characters. This resource belongs to a vt102 window inside the xterm window. So do not use 'XTerm.geometry', because that belongs to the top level xterm window, and takes sizes in pixels. By running the program xlsfonts, you get a list of all the available fonts on your system. With xfontsel you can interactively select a font.

Files get broken
Hello,
my FreeBSD 5.4 release system makes some annoying things which I don't
understand. I use gmirror to mirror two IDE discs which seems to work
without problems until now.
I also use gbde to encrypt one data partition, but this partition seems NOT
to
be affected for now, so I guess it's not a gbde related problem.
Some day's ago I would modify /boot/loader.conf (on /dev/mirror/gm0s1a).
As I opened the file in vi I saw just a line full of garbage. I was
confused a little bit, then I decided to rewrite the file
from (my human) memory, fortunately there were just two lines.
Now, some days later, I found another file which was corrupted.
It was a copy of /etc/fstab named /etc/fstab.orig (on /dev/mirror/gm0s1a).
If I open the file I see, again, only garbage:

I deleted everything except /usr/home (which I want the installer to leave in place anything inside there) (and except for the kernel perhaps, but that will get overwritten anyway right by the new install?), and then booted from 5.4 boot disks to install FreeBSD. I figured that this should work ok since I have done it before when upgrading from 4.6 to 4.9 on another system and everything went fine. The install program seem to complete successfully, I then rebooted the system, but the boot process stopped at the boot prompt, making beeping sounds. I tried the installation process again but with same result. I still cannot boot FreeBSD. After finding that the /kernel file from the old 4.6 installation still exists, I have finally figured out how to delete it. I suspected that that the old /kernel file from 4.6 might be the problem. I deleted it, and then attempted to reinstall FreeBSD 5.4 agian. However, the boot process still stops at the F1 FreeBSD prompt, and beeps whenever i press enter. So the /kernel file seems to not be the problem, especially since now the kernel is kept in /boot/kernel/kernel. I also tried setting the freebsd slice to active. No luck.

Does anyone know if this is possible and how I can do that? Sure, but you've left us in the dark as to what you have to work with there. Do you have FreeBSD or some unixy OS on another system or on a live CD? Or just a floppy fixit? Or what? Do you have enough hard disk space to leave your /usr/home out of the picture until you get FreeBSD going on another part of the disk? (Maybe after deleting unneeded parts of /usr/home's filesystem.) Anyway, if you can run a FreeBSD off a fixit or live CD somehow, you can bsdlabel to put /boot/boot = boot+boot2 on a floppy so you should be able to get a boot2 prompt (the one before the loader prompt) and try to boot your 5.4 from there. Or you could try using fdisk and boot0cfg and bsdlabel to put new boot records (MBR, boot1, and boot2) on a floppy or on your hard disk, too.

Re: Connect to Cisco VPN server from FreeBSD?
On Sun, Apr 10, 2005 at 04:38:34PM +0100, Scott Mitchell wrote: Hi all, As in the subject - has anyone managed to get a FreeBSD machine to connect to a Cisco VPN server, using IPSec and 2-factor authentication (password + SecurID card)? My employer has been acquired by another company, and this will soon be the only remote-access method available. Linux client software exists, but given that it relies on a kernel module I'm not holding out much hope of it working. The security/vpnc port looks like it might be useful. No idea if racoon + FreeBSD native IPSec can be persuaded to do the SecurID authentication. In case this is useful to anybody else - Finally got my SecurID card and can report that it works very well with the latest security/vpnc port. I had to decode the group password in the config file for the Cisco client I was given, but the vpnc web page has a handy service for doing just that. Apart from that, it just worked. The vpnc client doesn't support re-keying, so the connection hangs when the other side decides to do this. I'm mostly just connecting to machines at work over VNC or rdesktop, so this is no big deal for me - just re-connect. It also doesn't deal well with requests to re-authenticate after the SecurID token changes, which I think only happen if you get your password wrong. It does seem to correctly handle any DNS and split-tunnelling setup requested by the server, although you can tweak the connect script to ignore all that stuff if it annoys you :-) I'm connecting to a Cisco 2600 series router, with SecurID authentication done by some RADIUS server at another site. Haven't tried, but I expect I would have no trouble connecting to our central Cisco 3000 VPN concentrator box.

Do you have enough hard disk space to leave your /usr/home out of the picture until you get FreeBSD going on another part of the disk? (Maybe after deleting unneeded parts of /usr/home's filesystem.) I am sorry, I should explain the situation a more clearly. I have already run the FreeBSD 5.4 installation program, which seems to have completed successfully, to install FreeBSD on the hard drive. However, after I reboot the system after the installation program completes, I cannot boot FreeBSD from the F1 FreeBSD prompt. It just beeps when i press F1. I then booted into the fixit floppy, and it does appear that the FreeBSD system is there on the hard drive. Why I cannot boot the system I dont know. I thought it might be a boot record problem, so I wondered if I could use a floppy disk with a boot loader on it, which could then be used to start the system on the hard disk. I thought the install program would replace the boot records, in fdisk I have marked the partition active, and it prompted me to install the boot loader. I have several times gone into fdisk to try to get the boot records replaced. I tried using one of the boot floppies used to start the freebsd install, (kern1.flp), which if I boot off of that I get what appears to be a boot2 (boot:) prompt where I can type ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel, to boot the FreeBSD system i have on the hard disk, however after doing so a lot of numbers and gibberish appear on the screen with the message BTX Halted. I do have a fixit floppy so I can try to get in there and do some more things to fix this. Anyway, if you can run a FreeBSD off a fixit or live CD somehow, you can bsdlabel to put /boot/boot = boot+boot2 on a floppy so you should be able to get a boot2 prompt (the one before the loader prompt) and try to boot your 5.4 from there.

increasing size of a partition
Hello, I've got a 5.4-release box that is in need of some partition maintence. It's using raid1 procedure1 from Mr. Ralf S. Engelschall's site: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ I haven't been able to get procedure2 to boot, i keep getting an error on boot that the kernel is not found. This is worrysome because the two drives are not identical in size, they're close, and usually unless the partitions are filling up i don't worry about it. Lately /var has been filling up, when this box was installed space requirements were not estimated to be like they are now. I've got a single slice covering the entire drive and four partitions, /, /usr, /var, and /home which is last on the drive because it takes up the most space. Now i need to increase the size of /var probably taking space away from /home, does anyone have a procedure for doing this keeping in mind that geom mirror raid1 is going on? Thanks.

Root may be able to borrow some space from this (in which case the capacity goes below 0%), but it is not advisable to keep the file system so full, so it should be only for a limited period of time. The reason for having the reserved space is to allow the functions that allocate space to be able to find contiguous free space.

In your example, you're 278K over the limit; and should delete some files to make space ASAP. Should /tmp fill up more, it will soon become inoperable. From the original message: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ar0s1e248M -278K228M-0%/tmp This shows that /tmp is empty. If the reserved space was being encroached upon, it would show 100% capacity, and available bytes would go negative, not bytes used. It would look something like this: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a248M238M-10M 105%/ I've never seen the capacity go negative before, which is why I suggested someone else might know the answer. -Glenn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cache-only named won't resolve localhost
I think I followed the bind manual and poked around /var/named and it has been working OK for a few weeks until I pointed my browser to localhost and then I tried host localhost. It can resolve 127.0.0.1 back to localhost.localhost. fine, but if I try my name localhost or localhost.localhost, I get this: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached (at least until I tried it just now while on-line, when it works OK, resolving my modem/router's localhost, I suppose). /etc/hosts: ::1 localhost.localhost localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.localhost localhost 10.0.0.4localhost.localhost localhost /etc/hosts.conf: # Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit hosts bind /etc/resolv.conf (same with this file missing): nameserver 127.0.0.1 I can ping localhost OK. I thought that host should use the same stub resolver as ping before trying bind. Can I not use /etc/hosts with a cache-only named? Must I have an authoritive zone for localhost? Or what?

Re: Failed installation of FreeBSD 5.4
After trying unsuccessfully to boot FreeBSD 5.4 installed onto an existing filesystem that held 4.6, but after the installation completing not being able to get past the F1 FreeBSD prompt, I decided to wipe out the filesystem and start with a new filesystem, thinking this might be the problem! But after doing that and installing it, it still wont boot!!! It just sits there at the F1 FreeBSD prompt and makes a beeping noise! This sucks big time. There must be something wrong with FreeBSD here, 4.6 **ran fine** on this computer, and how 5.4 wont run at all!!! I tend to suspect FreeBSD 5.x has introduced a lot of new bugs and incompatabilities. --- Milscvaer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- Gary W.

Maybe there is something wrong with the boot record on the HD. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I can do that? Sure, but you've left us in the dark as to what you have to work with there. Do you have FreeBSD or some unixy OS on another system or on a live CD? Or just a floppy fixit? Or what? Do you have enough hard disk space to leave your /usr/home out of the picture until you get FreeBSD going on another part of the disk? (Maybe after deleting unneeded parts of /usr/home's filesystem.) I am sorry, I should explain the situation a more clearly. I have already run the FreeBSD 5.4 installation program, which seems to have completed successfully, to install FreeBSD on the hard drive. However, after I reboot the system after the installation program completes, I cannot boot FreeBSD from the F1 FreeBSD prompt. It just beeps when i press F1. I then booted into the fixit floppy, and it does appear that the FreeBSD system is there on the hard drive. Why I cannot boot the system I dont know. I thought it might be a boot record problem, so I wondered if I could use a floppy disk with a boot loader on it, which could then be used to start the system on the hard disk. I thought the install program would replace the boot records, in fdisk I have marked the partition active, and it prompted me to install the boot loader. I have several times gone into fdisk to try to get the boot records replaced. I tried using one of the boot floppies used to start the freebsd install, (kern1.flp), which if I boot off of that I get what appears to be a boot2 (boot:) prompt where I can type ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel, to boot the FreeBSD system i have on the hard disk, however after doing so a lot of numbers and gibberish appear on the screen with the message BTX Halted. I do have a fixit floppy so I can try to get in there and do some more things to fix this. Anyway, if you can run a FreeBSD off a fixit or live CD somehow, you can bsdlabel to put /boot/boot = boot+boot2 on a floppy so you should be able to get a boot2 prompt (the one before the loader prompt) and try to boot your 5.4 from there. Or you could try using fdisk and boot0cfg and bsdlabel to put new boot records (MBR, boot1, and boot2) on a floppy or on your hard disk, too. If you can DL and burn a CD, get yourself a live CD or CD-based fixit, else try to find room on your HD for a fresh minimal FreeBSD install, else get an old HD and install fresh to that. Another thing you could try is getting a Grub floppy off the Internet and try booting from the Grub command line. I suppose that your problem is related to the fact that your upgrade is reusing your old partition(s) and maybe old boot records. BTW, if you can keep your /usr/home out of the picture and then copy it to your new system, you can end up with nice new UFS2 filesystems. BTW, if that's your only copy of /usr/home, you probably shouldn't be trying to install a new OS on the disk anyway. You should be able to find another HD for a small FreeBSD (or a copy of /usr/home) for VERY little money these days. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

First, I apologise for being so upset. I was rather frustrated by this. I think that BTX stuff is part of boot2. I know this is a fairly common problem (which I've had too), but I don't know what to do about it beyond doing something different. :( Normally you would want to use at the boot: prompt: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader instead of 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel This is the critical information I needed to know! I tried /boot/loader and I am now able to boot into FreeBSD 5.4 off the floppy! After booting, Everything seems to be fine and as it should be. This is great, I can just leave the floppy in the drive, and boot from that. There must be something wrong with the boot records that fdisk is not correcting. I know friends who have had unuseable boot records as well and have to boot from floppies, Its not really a big inconvenience. To be honest, FreeBSD is the only OS that seems to run on this system, I tried OpenBSD and NetBSD and both cannot even boot into the installer. FreeBSD is still a good OS. Thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate it. I'd normally guess that the disk geometry has gotten confused somehow, but if you're able to see the 5.4 files with the fixit disk, geometry is probably OK. The fixit floppy usually doesn't have the command one needs to do what one wants to do, but I should support replacing the HDD MBR with fdisk, using a DOS-style MBR that you have to set the active partition. Then that should boot to 5.4's boot1 sector which should start boot2, which should start /boot/loader or give a prompt. If the fixit floppy has bsdlabel (and has a /boot/boot1, etc), you could try replacing the boot1 boot2 records, but don't wipe out the disk's bsdlabel. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: disk fragmentation, 0%?

How come /tmp is -0% in size? -278K? What had happened? as I have never experienced this in the previous installs on the exact same hardware. Not sure about that one. Maybe someone else has an answer. This is a FAQ. The available space is always computed after subtracting some space that would be only available to root (typically around 5% or 10% of the partition size). The default is 8%. This free space is necessary to avoid internal fragmentation and to keep the file system going. Root may be able to borrow some space from this (in which case the capacity goes below 0%), but it is not advisable to keep the file system so full, so it should be only for a limited period of time. The reason for having the reserved space is to allow the functions that allocate space to be able to find contiguous free space. When the disk is nearly full it takes longer and longer to locate contiguous space, which can lead to performance problems. In your example, you're 278K over the limit; and should delete some files to make space ASAP. Should /tmp fill up more, it will soon become inoperable. From the original message: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ar0s1e248M -278K228M-0%/tmp This shows that /tmp is empty. If the reserved space was being encroached upon, it would show 100% capacity, and available bytes would go negative, not bytes used. It would look something like this: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a248M238M-10M 105%/ I've never seen the capacity go negative before, which is why I suggested someone else might know the answer. -Glenn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
