Kernel option question
Hello, I've just recently started to use FreeBSD and I'm having problems with a piece of software that I'm running. That software causes quite a high load on my machine and gets automatically killed after some time. How can I configure FreeBSD not to kill the high cpu consuming tasks taking into account the risk of my machine getting to be unavailable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There is a program called WINE that does run some Windows applications (http://www.winehq.com/) but not all. That's an ongoing effort. Another option for running Windows software inside FreeBSD would be an emulator like Qemu or VMWare. Then you could actually install Windows to a virtual disk image and run it from inside FBSD. All programs would work but running the virtual Windows would be a bit slower than a real Windows install. When I made the move to FreeBSD from Windows for my desktop machines as well (I had previously only used FBSD for servers), I was worried about all my applications since I do a lot of audio production and streaming. If you already use programs like Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, X-Chat, gAIM, Audacity, VLC, GIMP, Azureus, etc, then those are available natively for FreeBSD without the need for any emulation. There are also tons of other free and open source programs to run on FreeBSD that can do what you need to do. Check out http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ for a list of 13,500+ applications that you can install very easily. Some examples would be Abiword for word processing, XMMS for a Winamp like media player, gFTP for a graphical FTP client, NVU for a free WYSIWYG web editor, and many many more. > 2.

You could have FreeBSD on one drive and Windows XP on another and dual boot, but that wouldn't be reliable for serving. You could run one of the operating systems inside a virtual machine like Qemu or VMWare, but I personally wouldn't want to run FreeBSD in a VM that is running on Windowsto me that defeats the purpose of having a stable serving OS if the host OS that the VM is running on is unstable. Going the other way, you could have FreeBSD as the main OS and then install Qemu and put the disk image for your WinXP install on that other HD.

5.4 Generic Kernel - da and scbus...I'm at a loss
All, I am a newbie to kernel related things. I'm running 5.4 using the generic kernel. I am problems with using an iPod via USB, and it seems that I may not have device support for sa and scbus in my kernel. I have been searching for a few hours this evening using various criteria and am still unable to get past this issue. It seems like the failure is that a device node /dev/da* for the umass drive isn't be created. Any help would be appreciated. I am going to try booting the 6.0 kernel off CD next and then go from there.

Problems with php-4
Just finished upgrading to 6, so I rebuilt all my ports to use the new libraries with portupgrade. All built fine except for two: ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! devel/pear-PEAR (pear-PEAR-1.3.5_1) (unknown build error) * databases/pear-DB (pear-DB-1.7.6,1) ---> Packages processed: 171 done, 0 ignored, 1 skipped and 1 failed php4-DB depends on PEAR, so I fix PEAR, and I fix the other one...I hope. Anyway, when I try to rebuild php4-PEAR this is the error I get: ===>Verifying install for pear in /usr/ports/devel/php4-pear This port requires the CLI or the CGI version of PHP, but you have already installed a conflicting PHP port without them. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/php4-pear. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/archivers/pear-Archive_Tar. *** Error code 1 I have mod_php4 installed which is incomptaible with php4-cli / pgp4-cgi...so how can I get around this? -- Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Migrating Evolution folders

Well, what reason do you really have for not wanting plesk? That would be a good place to start. If it is just plesk in particular, there are some alternatives. All conspiracy theories aside, most companies such as yourself, do implement something similar. Here are some alternatives: News Article: http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2005/9/emw282859.htm Actual Site: http://www.raqdevil.com/ Webmin is also an option. Still, like you said, you're not sure what it is wanted for. If you find out first, you will be able to make a sensible case for using it or not using it, or for any of it's alternatives.

I bought a second Western Digital 80GB disk, and 5.4 installs on this with no problem. The case for the 40 GB Maxtor seems a little odd - it works fine with Ubuntu, the Redmond product, and Fedora Core 3. I even switched it to PIO-only mode, and then 5.4 can be installed - but, as expected, it is very slow - 25 seconds to load KPresenter, for example. Not too useful. It also worked with an earlier FreeBSD, version 4.7 and before. So does FreeBSD drives disks a bit harder than other OSes, and is it still "in spec"? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: i need some suggestions
Hi Bob, Sorry for the top post. Here's the deal: your operative statement is: "I do all the system administration and network administration" When do you go on vacation, guy? It must be some time. And I would bet that when you do you leave detailed instructions for your boss as to how to login, modify accounts, etc. Whereupon when the time comes to actually do it - he's left sitting at a command prompt and is scared to death of following your instructions. Am I right? Even if you never go on vacation, what happens if you walk to another employer? Or if you get hit by a bus? Your employer, which I would bet money is also the owner, has a sticky problem here. He knows that it's unsafe for everything to be dependent on 1 person, from a disaster recovery standpoint that it. He is thinking if everything is pleskified, and you do get hit by a bus, that he will be at least able to keep from being nibbled to death by ducks while he looks for a replacement for you. But if he comes right out and tells you the truth, your going to think that all he wants plesk for is so that the administration becomes so easy that he can fire you and hire someone cheaper, or some such. So he's probably giving you a load of bullcrap about the customers wanting it so that you don't get rattled and walk. Now I've been in these situations before, both as employer and employee. And I can tell you that you need to sit down with him and have a heart-to-heart talk. This could potentially be a very divisive issue that could damage the company. Both of you are in the wrong and you both need to acknowledge that to each other. For starters, you are in the wrong because you must understand that there is a real, legitimate business need for multiple people to be able to handle administration of the servers in the company, in case of a problem. If I was one of your customers and I knew that only 1 person could do the administration on your systems, I'd be out of there. This redundancy/cross training could be accomplished with plesk, or with webmin (which is how we do it) or some other tool. But it has to exist, and your employer is justified in wanting it to exist. But also for starters, your employer is in the wrong by latching on to a SPECIFIC solution - ie: plesk - and trying to ram it down your throat. He hired you to administer the network and he can't interfere with your doing the job of administering it. Otherwise if he wants to micromanage, then he needs to do the entire enchilada. He cannot cherry-pick parts of your job, and flit in and out as the whim takes him, making pronouncements from on high. If your employer does not have the knowledge to install plesk and get it running on the network there, then he is NOT qualified to evaluate it as a solution for your company. In short, he needs to trust you - if that trust does not exist, then your wasting your time working there. Now, let me tell you something else. Right now YOU are basically in the drivers seat. The worst thing you could do is walk before a solution like plesk is implemented - and your employer knows this. That is probably his greatest fear right now. So, if in the course of talking to him, you even HINT that you are even AWARE of this, let alone threaten to do it, it will utterly destroy whatever trust you have and he will jump to conclusions that you are just going to screw him over as soon as you find another job. If that happens then he's going to simply entrench himself and will demand you install plesk immediately - and probably stand over you until it's done - which will of course scotch everything and you will either get disgusted and quit or he will fire you. So you are treading on thin ice here. What you need to do is approach this with kid gloves. Ask him gently if he's really interested in plesk because of the "bus factor" that will get the issue out on the table so he will be more comfortable talking about it. Acknowledge that he has a good point and you understand that since your growing that the administration must be made easier so that he could do it in the event that you are incapacitated. Remind him that once this is done that will help free you up to do more complex, demanding admin tasks like upgrading servers and such, because now he can start answering the phone and e-mail and knocking off some of the piddly day to day stuff that your being taken up with. Once your both in agreement then you need to carefully bring up the fact that since your intimately knowledgeable about the administration stuff that you really want to eval plesk and some other GUI administration tools before committing to it. Depending on his response you will know what to do. If you have a good relationship with him he will probably be willing to back down as long as he sees some tangible movement towards a more redundant administrative setup. If he doesn't trust you he's going to keep pushing for plesk, and at that point y

Zap both physical disks with dd if=/dev/zero of=... skip=n-1 count=1 bs=512b where n is the number of sectors. After you do this you'll of course need to rebuild the mirror. Backup and be careful!!! You can also do this with the gmirror utilities by removing one drive from the mirror, then undoing the mirror and the remaining drive (which zeroes the last sector) and then rebuilding. When I tried this once, I had a little trouble with the fact that the removed drive still had the metadata on its last sector.

But in this case, you have two problems. Most people replying to this thread have concentrated on the unclean umount. The real issue seems to be the hard errors on the disk: LBA=2398527 LBA=2191743 The question is: which file system? That's not clear from the output. There's a very good chance that you need a new disk, but the question is how to recover the data. You have a choice of what to do now. The safest approach is: - buy a new disk and install your chosen version of FreeBSD on it. - put the old disk in the system in some other position (slave or second IDE channel, for example). - mount the file systems read-only, without running fsck - copy across the data that you need. If you choose to keep the existing disk, you can try this: - run fsck -u on each file system in turn: fsck -y / fsck -y /usr fsck -y /var fsck -y /home If the system panics, you will know which file system was affected. The ones that have already been fsck'ed will stay that way; you don't need to repeat that. - If it succeeds, you're done. Otherwise you have at least narrowed down the problem to a specific file system. You can mount it read-only and back up the contents. Then, if it's not the root file system (this won't work for the root file system), do (assuming that it's /dev/ad0s1g, which you don't appear to have :-), dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s1g bs=128k conv=sync seek=9 This writes zeroes to the entire partition, with the exception of the disk label. Obviously this destroys all data on the partition. It's possible that the drive will then succeed in writing the data and clean up the soft errors. If this works, you can run newfs on the partition and restore the data. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

If the hard drive has a decent buffer, then doesn't (or at least couldn't) a write free up the IDE channel right after the buffer fills and before the buffer empties and the write is complete? In which case, can't a second write to the other drive on the channel overlap the first disk writing out its buffer? At the very least couldn't gmirror have the smarts to do this by interleaving the main and mirrored writes appropriately (given the size of the buffers)? Of course, mirroring should go faster if the mirror is on a different channel. As for a write to a secondary drive being slower than the same write to a primary drive... Why should that be? Doesn't the write data contain the address (0=primary or 1=secondary) on the IDE channel of the drive to which the write is going? If this is the case, then why should one be slower than the other?

i need some suggestions
Hello- I am looking for some ammunition. My employer is all of a sudden enthralled with plesk. I guess the customers are asking for it. What can they want it for? Mail account creation, web stats and i dont really know. First I should say, what we do. It is basically a little web/app developing, hosting gig which is growing. I do all the system administration and network administration. I can say that my motivation is self centered for either reason, that I hate working with plesk. I am hoping that I would be able to find some more reasons why implementing plesk is not a good idea so that I can approach him with something other than my own contempt. Like I said, I do not seem to have these reasons in my head yet. The reasons that I thought of already is that having all the services on one machine is not so good.but why? All I can think of is that administration is much harder, especially when there are more than one plesk machine. We already have separate services running on separate boxes...mail, db, and many web, but it seems that everyone likes a gui. btw, we are running all of our services on FreeBSD. I didn't really know what other list to do this on since their isn't an anti-plesk list that I know of.I wish! If anyone has any ideas or options of why we should not use plesk, I would like to hear some refreshing insight other than my brain at the moment. thanks, Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Question about FreeBSD Handbook
Hello! I'v partially read FreeBSD Handbook. To my mind this documentation had been wrote most about releases 4 and 5 newest than 5.2.1. In beginning of the documentation, in chapter 2.3.2 you wrote about Kernel Configuration. How to start Kernel Configuration in release 5.2.1? Should I edit kernel configuration file and rebuild a kernel? By this way, I have troubles while I rebuild a kernel! 'Make' returns errors while kernel linking was started. I should attach my kernel configuration file but BSD works on virtual machine and I need to copy this file on a USB flash but I don't know how to connect it to BSD. ? ?? ?? ?? ?? mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ? ?, ??? ?? 05.11.2005 21:16 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, you were talking about using pkg_add which installs binary packages, rather than building a port.

ASUS A8N-SLI raid Question
Hi all, I've recently updated to 64 bit (spending way to much money in the process!) and want to get freebsd 6.0 64 bit installed. I am running windows 64 on it (the main reason for the upgrade was games) so it will be dual boot. I have freebsd on a 32 bit system on a kvm switch, so it is not essential to get it on the 64 bit system, but I would like to give it a go. My specific question is, the install doesn't seem to pick up the raid, it comes up with ad12 and ad14, reporting both as 80 gig drives, as opposed to the 160 gig raid-0 it should see. Any suggestions on that? My other question is just feedback in generally, anyone out there with experience installing 64 bit 6.0 version on an nforce 4 mobo, and any problems I might encounter? I am assuming there are no drivers for SLI mode, is this right, and any sign of them on the horizon?

If you have only had FreeBSD on the machine for 5 days, you might want to consider just starting over with a scratch install. Just save off any few files you have created in those 5 days somewhere and then do a regular install of V-6 and put back what you need. That would get you a clean copy of everything. > once again, i apologize if this has been asked too many times. even a > vague reference to some 3 year old mailing list post will probably > help me though. On the other hand, if the idea of learning the upgrade process is a higher priority that just getting to V-6, then, yes, it is extensively documented in the handbook and in lots of online publications and private web pages and in the archives. Most of these will not refer specifically to doing a 5.4 to 6.0 upgrade, but the process will be the same. jerry > -Yaakov > ___ > 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]"
Odd boot problem
Hi, I needed to add an IDE disk to an already running SCSI booting machine for testing. Recently upgraded to 6.0 :) with the IDE disk connected to the machine, although not mounted. After a make kernel the machine boots fine but only if I have the IDE disk connected. Booting from the scsi disk I can clearly see it's trying to find the load from the ide disk. I tried 'atacontrol detach ata0' and reinstalling the kernel and tried a bsdlabel -B da0 but I still get the error, boot message follows: F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 Invalid partition Invalid partition No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: I tried 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel but still no go.

It appears as though everything is in order. The routes are in place, IP/SN is all correct etc. You are going to have to take a step down now to the lower layers of the network stack. Perform this command while plugged into the network and let it run a while: # tcpdump -n -i pcn0 What this will do is see if the nic can see traffic coming from other machines. Throw some pings at it from another box, and even if the other box doesn't get a reply, tcpdump will tell you if the nic can at least see the incoming traffic. Also, run tcpdump on another box, and repeat the process, but ping from the box with the 'bad' nic in it. Perhaps it can send traffic, but just not receive. Doing this both ways will indicate either way and may give you a clue. Further that, even farther down, try a different cable and switch port (one at a time). I know that may seem silly, but weirder things have happened. If all of that fails, due to the fact there is a driver loaded for the device, and it is taking all of it's parameters ok, I would say slap a new nic in the box and see if you can rx/tx traffic via it. If you can, I'd say then there is a problem with the nic itself, and you have confirmed it logically and completely.

Updating from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0-STABLE
Hello everyone, I am preparing my system for syncing with 6.0-STABLE and updating it from 5.4-STABLE. In preparation, on the 6.0-RELEASE Announcement page, it lists that some of the changes since 5.4 include: "Significant performance improvements to the filesystem and direct disk access layers of the OS. The filesystem is now multithreaded and can take full advantage of multiple CPU systems." This makes it sound as if UFS2 has been updated from 5.4 to 6.0. If this is true, will updating from 5.4 to 6.0 give me these changes or will I have to reformat the drives with the updated UFS2? When FreeBSD 7.0 comes out, I expect it to have the UFS2+Journalling extension that someone worked on for the Google Summer of Code. When this occurs, is there an easy way of updating the filesystems? If there is no easy formatter that leaves the files in-place, what is the recommended method of relocating the files, then reformatting with the updated filesystem, then putting them back (I don't know if tar archives are appropriate for this, or what is recommended). Thank you all for your assistance in answering these questions. If I can get the exact same system from reinstalling 6.0 from scratch or updating from 5.4-STABLE, it would save me a lot of time in recompiling the ~400 Ports I have built for this system to just update. Any commentary on the issue is welcome. I have searched all of the relevant documentation I could find to no avail. If there is information posted somewhere on these topics, referencing me to them would be greatly appreciated. -Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Here's my script, which I put in /usr/local/bin. You will have to
change the mount point and device for camcontrol to suit your setup.
You may also want to change permissions on things in /dev so that you
can do this as a user. Don't forget that you need to change passN and
xpt0, not just the da device. Look in /etc/devfs.conf to see how to
make the chanages stick, and change the vfs.usermount sysctl to 1. I
based my setup of this on the various documents out there about
user-mounting CDs.

I just modified one of the rc scripts to make it :) Now I can do "ipod
start" and "ipod stop" to mount and umount/eject it.
On a sort of related note, anyone had problems with gtkpod reporting
double the free space on the ipod? "df" and my iPod agree about the
free space, but gtkpod says that double that amount is free. I've had
this on 5.4 and 6.0 and on both i386 and amd64.

A disingenuous argument if there was one - the "don't change anything" faction lost as soon as the process came into being, because the existence of the process predicated a change. This is like when the US president claims the US needs to keep putting fresh troops into Iraq because the deaths of the previous soldiers would be in vain if it pulled out and the country collapsed. Nowhere in that argument is the point that maybe the US should not have ever gone in to begin with. Implied in that argument is "we fucked up and we are going to fix it by continuing to fuck up" exactly as you are arguing here. The problem was there was no fair process that established that a process for change was ever needed to begin with.

RE: New Logo
Yes, the decision can be reversed. Simply do not use the new logo on anything you produce for FreeBSD, such as CDROM copies for customer server installs, web pages you may create that discuss FreeBSD, graphic images you might use as backgrounds, computer presentations, etc. Do not purchase or spend money on any commercial FreeBSD product that uses the new logo, such as CDROM pressings, books, etc. and make sure to let the producers of the items know why. Be aware that book authors have considerable say in the artwork that goes on book covers, even if they do not create it, and a book publisher will do anything to avoid pissing people off - with the controversy over Beastie vs. the new logo, any book publisher and/or author would most likely avoid using both images on their book covers at this point. (Note the covers of many of the current FreeBSD books) Do not link to webpages that use the new logo. Hold the core team to their promise that the new logo will not supplant Beastie, which means that Beastie imagery will still be present on the FreeBSD website on some pages. If that is done the new logo will remain an artifact of the index page on the FreeBSD website. Such "voting with the feet" has been used by the user base in the past with FreeBSD very successfully. That is why, for example, there is no longer a Seagate ST01 scsi adapter card driver in FreeBSD, or a floppy controller tape drive driver. The userbase didn't want them. By contrast when the core team tried killing the Adaptec 1520/1510 driver the userbase howled and core eventually put forth the effort to rewrite it for cam.

So, sort the files into a predictable lexical order, then a diff is a linear operation over tonight's file versus last night's. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 3317661 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Rereleasing dolphins into the wild since 1998. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Export snapshot
Hi anyone, I search some technic to exports a snapshot. Let me explain little more. I've big nfs server (~1 To) to export by nfs to my clients. Until now I've a second server too, on this server I run something like rsnapshots (snapshot with rsync). But now the time rsnapshots using for making every snapshot is very big. For this reason I want to use ffs_snapshot, but I don't know how I can make this snapshot accessible for my user (without sysadmin intervention). Off course I can make a script to do (mdconfig, mount, export nfs etc...) but when I need to turn the snapshot, if any client have mount the snapshot I can umount and make mdconfig -d, event I can what's my client situation, maybe I hang-up with "NFS not responding" Anyone have a idea ?
