How do I diagnose and fix a boot problem?
I had an old FreeBSD 4.8 server and wanted to upgrade it to 5.4. So I backed it up to both DVD and to another 5.4 system. The only change in the hardware was adding a Zonet ZEN3300E gigabit PCI adapter (Realtek RTL8169S-32). It is an old dual 600 P3 with 1GB RAM and a 3Ware 7000-2 controller with 2 160GB drives. I wiped the system and started from scratch with a standard (everything) install. I added the updated packages and got Samba, Apache2, the TWiki installed with all the shared files and twiki files restored. The system was rebooted at least 5-6 times to make sure everything started up properly, and it did great. I was just tweaking the sshd settings so that I could run cygwin XFree86 over ssh, and did a "ps" to get the pid of sshd, and ps came back with an error message. I had never seen this before and so figured perhaps a reboot was in order. So I did and ended up with this:: -- FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel]... can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. ok -- So I booted using floppies and a CD (the SCSI CD is not bootable - old Adaptec controller) and loaded the Live CD (disk 1). Going into Fixit mode, I mounted the first slice. Everything was fine no damage. The kernel was there with the same date and size as the version on the Live CD. I read through the Handbook section 12.3. None of the files had a recent timestamp. I thought perhaps the MBR a file had been corrupted. I tried the command "disklabel -B twed0s1" which executed with no errors. When I tried the command "fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 twed0" It failed saying it could not find /dev/twed0 or if the correct directory was /dev, then twedo could not be found". Yet the device file was in /dev, the values looked reasonable, and df and other file system utilities were returning valid values. I tried rebooting again and looked variable values. Currdev and Loaddev are both "disk1s1a" which I am not sure is correct, but I get an error message if I try to change it to twed0s1a. Not sure what to try next. I don't know what the problem is or what caused the it. Any help or hints as to how to diagnose the problem or fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Frederick N.

No buffer space available?

But if I understand it correctly, the output of netstat seems to indicate that I am not running out of mbufs? 258/2320/26624 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 156 mbufs allocated to data 102 mbufs allocated to packet headers 131/938/6656 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 2456 Kbytes allocated to network (12% of mb_map in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines Meanwhile, output of 'top' and 'vmstat' shows that my load average is usually under 1.0 (even under heavy loads) and that my system is hardly paging anything to disk (pi and po are usually 0)... although I admit I'm not 100% certain how to interpret the rest of vmstat's output or how it might apply. Also, when I do netstat -s -p tcp during heavy traffic, "listen queue overflows" increases at around 50-70 per second. I tried increasing net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen (from 50 to 1024 to 2048) but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm not sure what else to look for, or where to go from here. Should I increase NMBCLUSTERS and/or NMBUFS anyway? Do I need more memory? Or perhaps the hardware simply can't handle the number of connections it's handling now?

You are going to need a stronger arguement against FreeBSD than "..needs some user facilities". It appears to me that you haven't used either for very long and therefore do not have much of a right to say which is better or worse, no offense. If you went into more detail with your reasoning then I believe you would be taken more seriously, but you fail to show me an legitimate reason that I should install debian over BSD on my next box. As far as installation being too difficult, I downloaded the debian distro and installed it on my laptop. I had more difficulty trying to get it to work than I ever had using FreeBSD. Also, lets not forget that easier doesn't always mean better. I know several people that use Linux over FreeBSD due to how they claim it is easier configure and setup, however I don't find FreeBSD that difficult to setup, especially in comparison to Linux. I believe that once you have become familiar with the process and worked with it, setting up and securing BSD is not all that difficult and is well worth the effort (in my opinion).

I've tried a lot of window managers on linux, freebsd, openbsd, even Tiger on my powerbook, and none had "full support" for any specific OS. I'm thinking maybe it didn't compile under freebsd before?

As you found out Fbsd and unix in general does recognise file names of different cases as being different files. One point though FreeBSD is that it is Free.

duplicate file names in iso - extraction to dos partition for dos install
Hi, I searched high and low, to answer my question, now I'm hoping you can help. I want to do an install of 5.4 from a dos partition. as I was extracting the files from the iso/archive to the dos partition, I got a lot of seemingly duplicate names, as dos considers "mail" and "Mail" the same.

Okay, I've tried running the above (tcpdump -ni fxp0 greater 1520) but I get no output.

Hello, everyone. I have a problem here.

When browsering the web, I need http proxy. And since I have a gmail, I want to use some mail client to receive/post my mails from gmail, so I still need a socks proxy.

The KBiff (a mail notifier for KDE) also can not connect to gmail. My question is: Is there any proxy tools that can set one program to use a certain proxy while other programs are still unaffected, because I don't want to use a global proxy, and it can not set global socks proxy in KDE, right?

named slave not refreshing
I thought I had this whole Bind thing under control, but it turns out that I'm still missing something. Here's my setup: local server (192.168.0.11) is master for domain "w.x.y.z" local server (192.168.0.12) is slave to 192.168.0.11 for "w.x.y.z" If /etc/namedb/slave/ on the slave is empty and i start named, everything works as expected. /etc/namedb/slave/w.x.y.z.db is populated with the values on the master server. However, if i change the values on the master and run # rndc refresh w.x.y.z on the slave, nothing is updated. I let it go overnight and still nothing changed. If I restart named on the slave, nothing is updated either. But if delete /etc/namedb/slave/w.x.y.z.db and restart the server, THEN it gets the new values.

Blade Server + SAN (w/ boot on SAN) ...
Over the past little while, I've had a bug put in my ear about going to the above sort of configuration, using HP servers ... I know that, based on http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle, I shouldn't have a problem with the Blade server side of thing, but so far, I'm unable to find a way to tie it in with a SAN backend, since it doesn't look like the HP Fiber Channel card for the Blade is supported ... Now, I find it difficult to believe nobody out there is using FreeBSD+Blade+SAN within their infrastructue ... so, if not HP, does anyone have any recommendations on what to use for this sort of configuration? The difficult part appears, to me, to be the 'Blade<->SAN' Fiber Channel card ... :( Thanks ... Marc G.

This sounds like the problem that hit the package cluster the other day (packages being labelled for the wrong release). Did you install from ports, or did libgnomeui come from a package? If the latter, I understand the correct packages have propagated out by now, so try grabiing a new libgnomeui package (or rebuild it from source). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have added to kernel options: device pf device pflog device pfsync options ALTQ Setuped jails with 172.22.x.x address and local network I have 192.168.x.x addreses... ifconfig rl0 is real ip and maped jails... rl1 is internal network... /etc/pf.conf now looks like: - ext_if="rl0" int_if="rl1" set state-policy if-bound set loginterface $ext_if scrub reassemble tcp fragment reassemble nat on $ext_if from 172.1.1.1/8 to any -> ($ext_if) nat on $ext_if from 192.168.1.1/8 to any -> $ext_if rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from any to 159.148.155.14 port 8080 -> 172.22.1.2 port www antispoof log quick for $ext_if inet antispoof log quick for $int_if inet block in log quick on $ext_if inet from any to ! ($ext_if) pass quick on lo0 all pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port ssh flags S/SA synproxy state --- The problem is when I make conection from jail or internal network, any conection http, ping, etc first package goes trought and got reply, second no... like: # traceroute www.ass.lv traceroute to www.ass.lv (195.13.160.54), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 my_router (my_router) 0.166 ms 0.143 ms 0.130 ms 2 * next_router (next_router) 1.274 ms * 3 titan-v12-gw.latnet.lv (159.148.13.150) 1.970 ms * 1.992 ms 4 * 80.232.230.89 (80.232.230.89) 2.205 ms * From my_router all working ok: 1 next_router (next_router) 1.331 ms 0.962 ms 1.037 ms 2 titan-v12-gw.latnet.lv (159.148.13.150) 1.287 ms 0.757 ms 1.660 ms 3 80.232.230.89 (80.232.230.89) 1.218 ms 2.233 ms 1.352 ms So only nat`ed packages every second get lost... with tcpdump and pf loging all shows that nothing is blocking them... Any idea what is going on or how to test where is problem? tnx, K. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
HP NC6000 with FB 5.4
Hello, everyone I'm a newbie here and to FreeBSD. Just installed FB5.4 in my notebook less than two months. After a lot of stuff have been done, I now can use my laptop with FB5.4+KDE3.4.2 as smoothly as using Windows before, even more efficiently^_^ But there is still some problems that I do want to fix in order to make my NB look more perfect. The question is: Can I use all of the buttons in my NB, say the Mute button, the Volume control buttons, and Wireless ON/OFF button. Although I can already control the volume of my soundcard and connect to wireless lan using the wireless NIC, I still want these buttons to work, just as in Windows. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Any suggestion will be appreciated! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
