RE: Dell PE1850 kernel panic

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Chris,

My experience with Dell is that in the past they have changed motherboard
revisions and chips in the system, within the same model number.  You
have
a situation here where you think you have 5 identical machines - well you
need
to start by making sure you really and truly do in fact have 5 identical
machines.
I would bet that once you start taking covers off and reading board
revision numbers
that you will find that you don't have identical machines, and that this
is why
some of them are working and others aren't.

Also, you need to compare BIOS and firmware revisions and compare BIOS
settings between all of them.

Ted

That was written by "Ricardo Alves dos Reis" who as far as I can tell 
[1] does not hold any official capacity at the FreeBSD Foundation or  
in the groups of people (committers etc) who had/have a say.  In  
other words, it was one outsider's personal opinion.  It in now way  
says anything about the real reasons for the whole thing.





Yes, Chad, we all know you love the new logo.  Just quit rewriting

Please read  which is  
the "Official" rules and explanation.  Nothing in there that I can find.


Stop rewriting history yourself.  Your post above is embarrassing as  
you try and claim official status for someone's (who appears to be an  
outsider) personal opinion.

I'm having similar problems with an Inspiron 6000.  It can provide
output to the monitor, but I haven't found any way to persuade X.org
to use the scan rates I specify.  This is a Radeon card.  pciconf -vl

"libm.so.4" not found

[David Banning]

I have been using portupgrade to update some of my packages. Now I have this 
error;

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.4" not found

when attempting to run webalizer and I also get it while attempting to 
to upgrade parts of the XFree86 system, specifically XFree86-4-clients

Looking around on Google it looks like libm.so.4 is a part of 
FreeBSD 6.X - that is strange, since my system is 4.8

I am wondering what I can do from here. The most recent version of 
libm I have is libm.so.2

Things are still mis-configured, but the following entry in
httpd.conf at least gets rid of my 404 err.  



  ServerName sage.thought.org
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/jwchat
  ### Below: 3 lines are required.
  
Options  +Indexes +Multiviews
  
  ##AddDefaultCharset UTF-8  /// no effect...
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule http-poll/ http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-poll/ [P]



This is the result of my own experimentation.  According to
the JWChat docs, it works with apache-2.x, but at least one
fellow in E. Europe has it working with 1.3.  It looks like
I'll have to start from square-zero.  But if anybody 
on-list has this working (w/ 1.3), I'd sure like to know!

Hi Beto,

Darn ol' linux.ko.  That was the problem.  For some reason that module

It worked immediately after I did kldload linux.

I always thought that that was what linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf did.

I guess I'll need to load it out of /boot/loader.conf.  I don't remember 
doing this
before but maybe when I installed some linux program the installation 
took care

of it for me.

So anyway.  Thank you very much.

Dell PE1850 kernel panic

[Chris Leung]

Dear all,

I have 5 pieces of the same configuration of Dell PE1850 dual Xeon 3Ghz
machine excpet 2 of them is 2GB Ram instead of 1GB.  They are running
similar set of application on FreeBSD 5.4 platform with custom kernel with
IPFILTER, IPFIREWALL and SMP enabled.

I have the problem as follow:

1 machine running very well and stable with HTT enable.

2 machines will be freeze when running around several hours but machines
become stable when turn off HTT.

2 machines will freeze when running around several hours whatever HTT
setting.  And machine seem good if running with Kernel without option SMP.

I would like to know if anyone having the similar experience as us?

Thanks for your attention.



The attached is the output of the dmesg of the HTT enabled machine

Hi, i am trying to install mod_php5 but it doesnt work either, this is
the error:

it  does seems like there is something seriously broken between the

is there a way to begin from scratch?

Gxine cant start : mcop.

[Norberto Meijome]

hi guys,
I was using gxine on a Toshiba Tecra A2 (sound working ok). I moved that system
to a Thinkpad z60m (sound not working, Intel High Def Audio, panics on loading
OSS Drivers). 

Now, on the Thinkpad, everytime I try to start gxine I get:

I don't see exactly where the problem is. Ktrace didnt show (to me) anything
that wouldnt be fixed by running as root.

Also, I recently changed from wdm to gdm, but I dont see how this would affect
it.

Any pointers?

Ron,

  Is this the HP Vectra server that has the onboard Adaptec

  If so, there's another guy that has one of these servers
and was complaining about bugs in the adaptec driver sometime
last year causing a similar issue.  I told him to send-pr it
but I don't think anything came of that.

  I would say you have a 80% chance it's what they call:
"non-compliant hardware"  It is well known that HP has a microcode
license from Adaptec, they and Compaq have modified Adaptec's microcode
before.  It is really annoying when they do it and put their modded
microcode into Adaptec's cards - I have had before on my desk,
2 identical Adaptec SCSI cards, that when both placed in a Compaq
desktop will boot up with identical firmware version numbers with
one exception - one of them has a trailing "S" on the firmware version
number - and both work exactly the same in the Compaq, yet take
the Adaptec card that was purchased from retail and put it in
another system and it works fine, but take the adaptec card
that was purchased from Compaq/HP spares and it will not work in
any other system.

  It's enough to piss off an idiot.

You can save yourself some hassle by enabling fsck_y_enable="yes" in
/etc/rc.conf.  If the initial fsck fails, it will try again with fsck -y.
If that fails, you've got serious trouble.

That will make the reboots a _little_ less of a problem for you, but it's
only paint over the rust.  What you really need to do is set up your
system for kernel debugging:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html
This will allow you to collect enough information that a developer can
help.

However, before doing that, I would upgrade to 6.1, in case the problem
has already been fixed.  Additionally, FreeBSD is heavily tested enough
that kernel panics are _usually_ the result of failing hardware.  I'd
get ahold of a memtest86 CD and test your RAM before doing much else.

  

Good tip Bill re fsck. I'll do that.

I'll also upgrade and run memtest.

It was a situation similar to this that made me switch to pf. The NAT

Re: Questions about monitoring Dell servers

[Derek Ragona]

You might want to look into using BigSister, in the ports:
/usr/ports/net-mgmt/bigsister

There are also binaries available for windows.

The sensors are configurable, with various alerting options.  I use it 
across both FreeBSD and Windows servers.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to monitor these boxes.  I'm

get as many of the sensors working as possible.

What I'm confused about is the difference between IPMI, Open Manage
and DRAC.  I don't quite understand what does what, and how FreeBSD
support is for either of these options.  I tried and failed to get
IMPI working, I tried to setup linux compatibility to get Open Manage
working (which I assume is the osabmcutil RPM) but I couldn't.  And
I'm not sure if any of these is dependent on the DRAC card or if the
DRAC card and these options are mutually exclusive and the DRAC card
just does "some other cool stuff"(tm).

Can anyone share their experiences?

This was a huge help!  Worked on both boxes, the FreeBSD box and the  
linux box.  Fantastic suggestion, thank you!



DRAC is irrelevant to FreeBSD.  Configure it in the BIOS (give it an
IP and the like) and you can use a web browser to get a console  
window.

(True console, so that you can access the BIOS during boot and
everything).


I can configure an IP address on the BMC, but that's obviously  
different than the DRAC.  Before, when I tried to configure an IP on  
the BMC, I couldn't see any IP info for it at all in the system.  
Couldn't ping it, couldn't see a mac address for it, nothing so I  
wasn't sure if the BMC networking portion would work without the DRAC  
or not.



Install ipmitool and use it to access IPMI over the network.


I tried that too, but based on above, I couldn't get the BMC to be  
seen on the network.



We have a central machine that monitors all our servers via a Nagios
plugin to ipmitool.  I can't offer any advice on getting OpenIPMI
working.


Is there a particular benefit to OpenIPMI vs. FreeIPMI?  I know the  
latter is all in userland as opposed to OpenIPMI which is partly  
comprised of kernel modules (or is that just in Linux land?)


DRAC and IPMI are completely seperate.  There is some overlap, for  
example
both DRAC and IPMI can be used to monitor sensors and reboot the  
hardware.


DRAC is nice in that it gives you a spiffy web interface, as well  
as the
whole console over IP thing.  IPMI is nice because it's a standard  
that

can be programmed to, with ipmitool, for example.


I'm still a little fuzzy on the IP capabilities of IPMI vs DRAC.

how to temporarily override page style/appearance ?

[martinko]

hi!

i'm looking for an easy way of changing an html page appearance in
mozilla/seamonkey browsers.
i know i can change default colours in preferences->appearance->colors
but that is global and permanent.
i'd rather have something like there's in opera where you can easily
apply user defined theme/stylesheet per window/tab.
is there a similar extension for seamonkey/mozilla pls ??

cheers,

martin

I've heard that Gentoo's package management system "Portage" is
inspired by FreeBSDs ports, but I believe it's a bit of work to
install and compile a working system.

I've been using Debian based Kubuntu on my laptop, and find the
package management excellent. The installation and maintenance is
easy.  It's my choice when I want to install and go.




Thanks, I didn't know Kubuntu / Ubuntu was Debian based. I like Debian
but the distribution always seems to be stuck in last year, It's still
using a 2.4 kernel, XFree86, and KDE 3.3!

Anyways, Kubuntu 6.06 Beta2 appears to meet most of my requirements so
I'll give it a whirl.





Debian Sid (unstable) and Debian Etch (testing) are at least as 
up-to-date as (K)Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 today, and Dapper isn't even 
released yet.  By the time the Dapper release is official (target date 
is 1st June), Debian Etch will have pulled farther ahead.  Debian Sid is 
already well ahead in terms of the "newness" of its packages.


An Ubuntu release (also, Kubuntu and Xubuntu) more-or-less starts with a 
snapshot of Debian Sid.  The package selection and versions in Dapper 
are already frozen and have been for a month or more, so you won't be 
seeing newer versions in Dapper than what you see now, and you won't be 
seeing new packages introduced.  By contrast, Debian Sid is continuously 
updated, as is Debian Etch (or whatever the current testing distribution 
happens to be).


What you're looking at (2.4 kernel, XFree86, etc.) is Debian Sarge 
(stable).  The stable Debian release is rock-solid and unchanging, 
except for security updates.  As such, it's great for servers, but I 
wouldn't use it for as a general purpose desktop/laptop OS.  Some people 
do, and they use backports to augment the package selection.  For 
example, if you were running Sarge, which has Firefox 1.04, you could 
easily swap that out for a backport of Firefox 1.5.03.  There are about 
450 or so pre-built backports for Sarge, so many of the most popular and 
common apps are available.  And of course you can always roll your own.  
But I still find Sarge to be too frustratingly old for a desktop system.


None of this is to suggest that I think you made the wrong choice -- 
Ubuntu is a fine Linux distro, and really geared to being a reasonably 
up-to-date solid and stable desktop distro.  I have it (Ubuntu Breezy 
5.10) installed as my "fallback" in case my Debian Sid installation gets 
hopelessly broken by some ill-considered update, but that hasn't 
happened yet.  (I fully expected at least X to be broken when Sid 
underwent the transition from xorg 6.9 to xorg 7.0, which is modular and 
makes quite a few significant changes to the layout of the server.  Much 
to my amazement, the upgrade proceeded without a hitch.)  You have to 
understand that "unstable" refers to the package selection, not to the 
state of the OS itself.  Debian Sid, honestly, is more solid than some 
distros' releases, and of all the Linux distros I've tried, it is the 
one that provides what I find to be the best balance between 
cutting-edge features and software, and stability and 
ease-of-administration.  Of course, that's completely a judgment call, 
and others would disagree.


I just wanted to chime in because I get tired of people tarnishing 
Debian with the old and moldy label.  For so long I kept reading that 
"FreeBSD isn't really appropriate for desktops," "FreeBSD doesn't 
support as much hardware as Linux," and other received opinions that 
kept me from trying any BSD for longer than it should have.  The notion 
that "Debian is too outdated" is, in my view, a similar received opinion 
that keeps some people from looking at it twice, which is a shame.

IPFW - Two External Interfaces

[PFS IT]

I am attempting to use IPFW (and either IPNAT or natd) to do the following:

I have two connections to the outside world coming in to my firewall.
em0 has a static ip and is going to a bridged DSL connection, then
bge1 has a static ip and is going to a a few bonded DS1s. bge0 goes to
my internal network. I am attempting to have NAT on both external
interfaces, and have most outbound traffic move across bge1, while
traffic from/to a particular internal system (We'll call it
internal_system for purposes of this message) to/from a particular
remote  system (This we'll call remote_system) port 80 moves across
the DSL line on em0.

Here is an attempt at a pretty ascii picture


ISP 1
   [192.168.2.254]
  |
  |
[bge1:192.168.2.1]
  FIREWALL[bge0:10.0.0.1]---[10.0.0.2]internal_system
 [em0:192.168.1.1]
  |
  |
   [192.168.1.254]
ISP 2

Here are the rules I've tried using in congunction with natd:

#Send incoming traffic to natd
00400 divert 8869 ip from any to any in via bge1
00450 divert 8868 ip from any to any in via em0
00500 check-state

#Check for internal_system port 80 traffic
0600 skipto 900 from $internal_system to $remote_system 80

#Send Most Traffic out via bge1
00700 divert 8869 ip from $local_net to any in
00750 divert 8869 ip from $local_net to any out

#Send "special" traffic out via em0
00900 divert 8868 ip from $internal_system to $remote_system 80 in
00950 divert 8868 ip from $remote_system to $remote_system 80 out

#policy route to get traffic to the correct ISP
02000 fwd $isp2_gw ip from $isp2_ip to any
02500 fwd $isp1_gw ip from $isp1_ip to any


Two instances of natd are running, one on port 8868 with an alias
address of $isp1_ip, the other is on port 8869 with an alias address
of $isp2_ip

With the above ipfw rules in place, a

$ping -S $isp2_ip google.com

Should result in a ping across em0 to google, however it acts as
though it cannot even reach the $isp2_gw.

I have been able to get everything to work exactly as I want it to
using pf on FreeBSD, but I've been told that ipfw is preferred within
the organization.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try running "firefox" from an xterm during an X session.  The

my input (only one file with this name exists in the current dir):

mozilla suite and seamonkey now but to no avail.  i can install it for

regular user the installation is canceled sometime in the end (that is
the extension is downloaded, maybe installation begin and then a window
displays a message saying installation canceled).  this has been the
case since freebsd 5.3 or 5.4, now i'm running 6.1.

does someone know how to solve this pls ??

I'm not sure you read the post correctly.  He's asking where the "/home"
directory is on his system.

/home is typically a symlink to /usr/home, although it doesn't have to be.

My reply will definitively tell the user which filesystem the /home
directory (or symlink) resides on.

You can always use "make makesum" to regenerate the checksums, but be
*very* careful about this; you are throwing away your only guarantee
(such as it is) that you are installing what you think you are.

it  does seems like there is something seriously broken between the

I'm not sure what the real plans are around there, but (AFAIK) at
least for the RELENG_6 branch, now that the option is part of
RELENG_6 it should remain there for the entire lifetime of the
branch :)

RE: Help to find cause of recurring crash

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Ron,

  Is this the HP Vectra server that has the onboard Adaptec
SCSI controller, and are you running SCSI drives on it?

  If so, there's another guy that has one of these servers
and was complaining about bugs in the adaptec driver sometime
last year causing a similar issue.  I told him to send-pr it
but I don't think anything came of that.

  I would say you have a 80% chance it's what they call:
"non-compliant hardware"  It is well known that HP has a microcode
license from Adaptec, they and Compaq have modified Adaptec's microcode
before.  It is really annoying when they do it and put their modded
microcode into Adaptec's cards - I have had before on my desk,
2 identical Adaptec SCSI cards, that when both placed in a Compaq
desktop will boot up with identical firmware version numbers with
one exception - one of them has a trailing "S" on the firmware version
number - and both work exactly the same in the Compaq, yet take
the Adaptec card that was purchased from retail and put it in
another system and it works fine, but take the adaptec card
that was purchased from Compaq/HP spares and it will not work in
any other system.

  It's enough to piss off an idiot.

Ted

jpilot core dumps on FreeBSD 6.1

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to FreeBSD 6.1. The only program that suddenly 
has problems with it is JPilot. It aborts when starting it with:
...
jpilot in free(): error: modified (page-) pointer
Abort trap (core dumped)
...

I've synced my ports tree and reinstalled jpilot several times but nothing 
helps. Anyone else having this problem?

Marco

Sadly, yes; or buy a bigger second disk. You could do the install on the
smaller disk first, or you could make ad10s1 smaller.

Fdisk error during 6.1-RELEASE cd installation

[Ghis Gigi]

Hello,
I have a problem during FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE installation on a i386 machine with 
a boot CD. First, I found that FireWire desactivation is better to start the 
installation :-).
But my problem is when Fdisk try to write slice, in log vtty i get :
ad2: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA = 66
ad2: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA = 66
ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status = 51  error=84  LBA=66

Partitionning can't append because there is no valid entry in /dev.
My disk is ok.


Anyone as an idea or need more information??

Thanks in advance.

Hi Laszlo,

Well it looks like you've got gm0 up and running.  I assume you've

you need to zero ad8 to make sure gmirror isn't confused.  Try that (dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad8) at least for several blocks.  Then reboot and
post dmesg.

Are you using nullfs from a module?  Modules are incompatible between
PAE and !PAE, so the easiest thing to do is compile them all into your
kernel.

Thanks.  I thought it a little odd that NOTES groups it under this category:

Actually, the default is /home is a symlink to /usr/home
not just /home.

But, I think the poster really means where is the login home directory.
you can find that out many ways, most of which have been mentioned.

finger user_id

grep user_id /etc/passwd

  cd
  pwd

etc

Hi Laszlo,

Well it looks like you've got gm0 up and running.  I assume you've
edited /etc/fstab so that it boots cleanly.  My first thought is that
you need to zero ad8 to make sure gmirror isn't confused.  Try that (dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad8) at least for several blocks.  Then reboot and
post dmesg.

FreeBSD 6.1 - nullfs not working with PAE

[tonix (Antonio Nati)]

I'm trying to setup a system with 8GB of RAM, so I've enabled PAE option.

But when I try using a mount_nullfs, I always have this error:

mount_nullsfs: Operation not supported by  device

No problem arises when I compile kernel without PAE.

I cannot find any documentation about nullfs and PAE.
Why is a so simple filesystem (nullfs) incompatible with PAE?

Thanks,

If it's the right type of driver, the megarc port might be helpful.
Works on our Dells.

DRAC = console over network
IPMI = hardware monitoring
Open Manage = I have no clue

DRAC is irrelevant to FreeBSD.  Configure it in the BIOS (give it an
IP and the like) and you can use a web browser to get a console window.
(True console, so that you can access the BIOS during boot and
everything).

Install ipmitool and use it to access IPMI over the network.

We have a central machine that monitors all our servers via a Nagios
plugin to ipmitool.  I can't offer any advice on getting OpenIPMI
working.

DRAC and IPMI are completely seperate.  There is some overlap, for example
both DRAC and IPMI can be used to monitor sensors and reboot the hardware.

DRAC is nice in that it gives you a spiffy web interface, as well as the
whole console over IP thing.  IPMI is nice because it's a standard that
can be programmed to, with ipmitool, for example.

Anything under /, that doesn't show up in 'df' is, of course, on the /
file system. However, since /home is just a symlink to /usr, the
answer to your question is it's under /usr.

All you need to do is replace zsh provided format strings to that of
similar  bash escape sequences.  For example, zsh '%n' (for
username) corresponds to bash '\u', '%~' to '\w', and so on.

I personally put the color, bold, normal, etc. sequences in a
separate file, which is sourced inside the file setting prompt.
That gives less of gobbledygook to parse.  For zsh, i have somewhere
in ~/.zshrc ...

  #  http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/cf/sh/var/colors
  . ~/cf/sh/var/colors

  case $TERM in
*xterm* | *rxvt* )
  PS1="# ?:%? %j %l ${bold}${yellow_fg}%~${normal}${normal}"
  PS1="$PS1 %n.${bold}${cyan_fg}%m${normal}${normal}"
  PS1="
  $PS1 (%D{%a %b%d %I%M})
  #! "
  export PS1
;;

* )
  PS1="# %j [EMAIL PROTECTED] %l ${bold}%3~${normal}
  # "
  export PS1
;;
  esac


... similar thing is done for bash prompt.

Questions about monitoring Dell servers

[Jason Lixfeld]

I've got a couple of Dell PowerEdge 1850s, one of which has FreeBSD  
6.1-RELEASE on it.


I'm trying to figure out the best way to monitor these boxes.  I'm  
interested in RAID status more than anything else, but I'd like to  
get as many of the sensors working as possible.


What I'm confused about is the difference between IPMI, Open Manage  
and DRAC.  I don't quite understand what does what, and how FreeBSD  
support is for either of these options.  I tried and failed to get  
IMPI working, I tried to setup linux compatibility to get Open Manage  
working (which I assume is the osabmcutil RPM) but I couldn't.  And  
I'm not sure if any of these is dependent on the DRAC card or if the  
DRAC card and these options are mutually exclusive and the DRAC card  
just does "some other cool stuff"(tm).


Can anyone share their experiences?

APIC_IO removed?

[User Gandalf]

 Hello,

I upgraded to 6.1 and tried to recompile my kernel. It fails because it 
does not know this option:


options APIC_IO


Is this changed, or removed from 6.1? Is it enough to just use "options 
SMP"?


Thanks,

You can always use "make makesum" to regenerate the checksums, but be
*very* careful about this; you are throwing away your only guarantee
(such as it is) that you are installing what you think you are.

It wasn't an oversight; the maintainer did update the checksums and
size when the Makefile was changed.  Could be an error, or a change by
PHP developers (without changing the filename).  Or it could be that
the distribution system was hacked and you've just installed a
hacker's modified version of PHP.

Yes.  The option is still valid even in CURRENT.

The `src/sys/kern/subr_param.c' file contains:

 64 #ifndef MAXFILES
 65 #define MAXFILES (maxproc * 2)
 66 #endif

and the option is still present in `src/sys/conf/NOTES'.

Re: Some shell scripts; a more elegant approach?

It is difficult to understand exactly what you want your script to do

what you want your scripts to do.

Hello!

I have a bash script here to clean .txt files.

But I want to incorporate a feature where, if the .txt file is
less than 300 bytes, it will echo "$file: Corrupt".

I'm very new to scripting, but I know that this method is not really nice:

--

for file in `find -s . -type f -name "*.txt"`; do



This line is redundant, if you ">| $file.tmp" below. (or if you turn
"noclobber" off for your shell)

mv -f $file $file.tmp

tr -d '\r' < $file | cat -s | sed -E -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' > $file.tmp



I don't see why you need an empty file here.

This line doesn't do anything.

echo >> $file.tmp



why not just "mv $file.tmp $file"?

cat blank $file.tmp >> $file

rm -f blank $file.tmp

You should probably do this on the .tmp file before you overwrite the original.

for file in `find . -type f -name "*.txt" -size -300c`; do

echo "$file: Corrupt"

done

I also have another script here that I'm wondering some about:

--

echo "Giving files to user $1, group $2."

chown -R $1:$2 *



if [ $3 -a $4 ] ; then


echo "Setting files to $3, folders to $4."

find -s . -type f -exec chmod $3 '{}' \;
find -s . -type d -exec chmod $4 '{}' \;



fi


--

It mass sets permissions and ownerships.

In it, I have to specify $1, $2, $3 and $4. If I just specify let's say
$1 and $2, it will error out because the finds in $3 and $4 aren't
given anything.

How do I avoid this?

Thanks people, I apologize for my ignorance,

wpa_supplicant timeouts when trying to associate to AP

Hello.

I have installed the driver for my card , and i made a config file for
the wpa_supplicant.
The config file parses without problem but i cannot connect.

When i try to associate i get the following error :

Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

And i have a Cardbus wireless card , from ASUS, which i use with the
driver ndisgen created for me from the windows drivers supplied with
the card.

When i searched the lists and googled before i post, i found few
people having the same issue, asking for help, but without any

So, is it helpless ? Should i search for different wireless card to
use with FreeBSD ?

Re: gmirror and partitioning

[Nagy László Zsolt]

Laszlo,

You're making gmirror way too difficult.  In short, install FreeBSD with
however many partitions you want, then install gmirror and replicate
your disk to the second disk.

The standard howto documents are:

http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html

http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/

I've used Danny's and Ralf's (the first and third).  Danny's is simpler,
but Ralf's has the advantage that it can be done remotely.  Danny's
website now recommends Dru's (the second).  You may want to try that
first.

Let us know how it goes,
  
I tried the second link, as you suggested. It does not work for me. I 
have to identical disks on /dev/ad10 and /dev/ad8. I have installed 
FreeBSD on /dev/ad10 and I initialized gmirror on that disk. Here is 
what df says:


backupserver# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a 4.8G 34M 4.4G 1% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e 9.7G 12K 8.9G 0% /tmp
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f 115G 261M 106G 0% /usr
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d 9.7G 232K 8.9G 0% /var
backupserver# swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b 5242880 0 5242880 0%
backupserver#


Then I try to add the ad8 device:

backupserver# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad8
Provider ad8 too small.
backupserver#

But of course this is not true. ad8 and ad10 are identical 160GB SATA disks.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Firstly, you lookup the function on php.net and see what it depends
on.
In this case, imagecreate depends on GD. So, this means you have to
install the graphics/php5-gd port.

RE: php5 port error

[fbsd]

Yes I just went through this this morning. 
The md5 size count is not correct in the php5 port.
See /usr/ports/lang/php5/distro
I renamed the distro to distro.org and did 
"make install clean" and it found source to download.

Warning.  You have to download a new copy of the php5 
port config files to get version that changes back to 
defaulting to including the apache module. 

Do "make config" before "make install" so you can 
verify the compile time options are set to 
include the apache module.

Please submit bug PR on this.

RE: Loading php5 and apache 1.3

[fbsd]

I am fighting that same battle my self on a 6.1 system.
I use the packages to do this.
apache, php5, mysql5   Have no problem with the mysql5 part.

I reported the default had changed for php5 port not to
include the apache module on last Thursday. Today it looks
like the port default has been changed back to including
the apache module.  The package of php5 has not been recreated
yet so you have to use the port version.

Best to delete the /usr/ports/lang/php5 directories and
download the php5 port config files anew to get the most
current version from the cvsup server. Also saw some updates
to the ports base come down which may also effect the
correction of this problem

Then do "make config" to verify the apache module
build option is selected.

Then make install clean on php5.

I just made it work by replacing the distinfo file with this, based off the 
tarball I downloaded:

MD5 (php-5.1.4.tar.bz2) = 66a806161d4a2d3b5153ebe4cd0f2e1c
SHA256 (php-5.1.4.tar.bz2) =

a32
SIZE (php-5.1.4.tar.bz2) = 6356171

(three lines)

It seems happy now.  I'm assuming this was just an oversight on behalf of the 
port maintainer?

Understood; but Colin Percival (freebsd-update's author) does publish
upgrade guides on his website for upgrading from one version to
another (daemonology.net).

With this in mind, could any one offer some advice as to how to upgrade
to 6.1 with freebsd-update?

Many thanks,

Since you're using FreeBSD 6.x, make sure you use ndisgen instead of running 
ndiscvt manually.

That said, I haven't ever played with amd64 and don't know if ndis is 
supported / functional on that platform.  Let us know what you find out!

Multiple monitors with Dell Latitude D810

[Matt Juszczak]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a Dell D810 with xorg and multiple monitors.  The two 
monitors I have are the internal laptop screen, and an external Dell 
monitor hooked up through the docking station.


Windows was able to display content on both monitors, so I'm sure there's 
a way to do it with xorg and freebsd.  However, I am not sure where to 
start because of the fact that I'm using a docking station


Can anyone point me to any documentation or ideas?

Thanks!

Firstly, you lookup the function on php.net and see what it depends on.
In this case, imagecreate depends on GD. So, this means you have to 
install the graphics/php5-gd port.

Huh?  Did you look?  What does thinking and believing have to do with
anything?
ls /usr/ports/lang | grep gcc
gcc-objc
gcc-ooo
gcc28
gcc295
gcc30
gcc32
gcc33
gcc34
gcc40
gcc41
gcc41-withgcjawt

linux-libgcc

It looks like every version of gcc from 2.8 to 4.2.

BTW: I was wrong, the gcc ports are in /usr/ports/lang, not /usr/ports/devel.

You can save yourself some hassle by enabling fsck_y_enable="yes" in
/etc/rc.conf.  If the initial fsck fails, it will try again with fsck -y.
If that fails, you've got serious trouble.

That will make the reboots a _little_ less of a problem for you, but it's
only paint over the rust.  What you really need to do is set up your
system for kernel debugging:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html
This will allow you to collect enough information that a developer can
help.

However, before doing that, I would upgrade to 6.1, in case the problem
has already been fixed.  Additionally, FreeBSD is heavily tested enough
that kernel panics are _usually_ the result of failing hardware.  I'd
get ahold of a memtest86 CD and test your RAM before doing much else.

Thanks Pietro,

I will do that. However I don't think 1GB of RAM is so big and as a home
server I would be lucky to deal with more than a couple of hundred
emails per day.


I wouldn't trust in suppositions ;-)

check whether vfs.maxvnodes (max vnodes allowed) minus vfs.numvnodes
(number of actual vnodes) is nearly zero.


So if anyone can shed any more light it will be appreaciated.

Thanks

Ron

Pulling down an entire tree into a virgin directory is not efficient
use of cvsup.  Not even a little.  While it _can_ be done (as you've
demonstrated) if you're looking for performance, pull down a tarball,
unpack it, then run cvsup to update it, and I bet it will be considerably
faster.

I've not had that problem,  maybe something in the config (mine follows),
all I've noticed is that after about a week, it's using quite a bit of
memory, and the developers on irc.freenode.net #conky have said that using
'tail' is a known memory issue they're working on.  Of course, if you tail
your logs, you're going to need read permissions on them.

Hope this helps

Not as you have it now. However, I read a possible solution that I think 
might work, to you from David Stanford. I think it will work, it just 
needs a couple of suggestions to flesh it out a bit.

I'll requote it here:
How large is your /var slice? If it's large enough to fit /home (or at 
least the files you'd like to save), maybe try booting into single-user 
mode, mount /usr and /var, wipe out /var, copy the files from /usr/home 
to /var, and just remember to document what slice /var was. Then you 
could just reinstall the base system around it using a 6.1-RELEASE CD, 
no?

Just a shot in the dark...
===

Not a bad shot in the dark, I think it will work if you do it this way:
1) Follow what David said above,  be sure to document what slice /var 
is. You're going to need that information when you reinstall with the 
6.1-RELEASE disc.

2) boot up the release disc. Use the standard install method. The first 
thing you come to is "fdisk" partitioning. The only thing you're going 
to do here is make an existing partition bootable, don't change 
anything else, don't make any new partitions, don't delete any. Just 
make the one partition bootable, then go on to the next step and 
install the boot manager.

3) BSDlabel is the next step. Since you didn't change any partitions on 
your disc, the existing slices should come up. You can remove and 
recreate all of them except the one you had for /var. You're going to 
mount that one as /home. At this point, you can create your other 
slices and mount points. Make sure that the slice you now have as /home 
is not going have 'newfs' run on it, all the others need to have it 
done, but not /home. Then go on with the installation.

Until you go through the disk label step, you haven't changed anything. 
Once you get through that step, you're committed, and what will be, 
will be. So, if you need any clarification, ask for it. Just remember, 
if you make a mistake, it's unpleasant and you'll be kicking yourself 
in the ass, but it's not the end of the world.

The only thing I can see (read: understand) is:
the process that caused the kernel panic is "vnlru":

"vnlru flushes and frees vnodes when the system hits the
kern.maxvnodes limit. This kernel thread sits mostly idle, and only
activates if you have a huge amount of RAM and are accessing tens of
thousands of tiny files."

(from http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/10.31.shtml)

So, consider increasing kern.maxvnodes if your system deals with such
a huge amount of files.






Thanks in advance,


Hope this helps,

Thanks Pietro,

I will do that. However I don't think 1GB of RAM is so big and as a home 
server I would be lucky to deal with more than a couple of hundred 
emails per day. So if anyone can shed any more light it will be 
appreaciated.


Thanks

Re: makeworld FAILURE on 5.4-STABLE

[David Stanford]

Kyrre,

How large is your /var slice? If it's large enough to fit /home (or at least
the files you'd like to save), maybe try booting into single-user mode,
mount /usr and /var, wipe out /var, copy the files from /usr/home to /var,
and just remember to document what slice /var was. Then you could just
reinstall the base system around it using a 6.1-RELEASE CD, no?

Just a shot in the dark...

Hello!

Actually, my /home is under /usr ... uh oh huh?
No can do then?

Thanks for the tip of having /home as a seperate slice though,
I'll treasure it for the rest of my days!

Is /home on a slice of its own. Mine is, for the reason that if I have
to blow off the system and reinstall, I can safely do that, as long as
I don't make any changes to /home, just remount it as /home. You can do
this with sysinstall, very easlily.

Send the output from 'df', I can tell from that.

Re: Sluggish system

[Subhro]

You can do a pkg_delete -a.
This will delete all the packages.

After that pkgdb -fF
This will rebuild the package database. However I dont think this is necessary.

then reinstall everything as required.

Thanks and Best Regards

Loads of data, loads of accounts / passwords, nothing wrong with the 'base' part
of the OS... There's no need to really.

My problems are generated from to many ports / inconsistencies in the ports, and
so forth.  So that's really the only part of the OS that actually needs some
serious work.

I also can't re-install the Base OS remotely...   Yes, I can make world to
upgrade it (which has already been done), but not reinstall it in the sense of
format / repartition / etc...

What kind of tools are there to connect to CISCO devices' console on
FreeBSD using the COM port? I'm sure there are a lot of you on the list
managing CISCO devices!

tip may be OK

minicom for sure, after removing all "modem commands" in it, so it won't 
"initialize modem" at startup.


i'm using minicom for connecting to other device's console like edimax

I'm fine with having this temporary docking station however since it's FAT32,
certain scripts (like rename scripts) make my FreeBSD lock up and freeze.

> Why do you want to NOT reinstall the OS?

Loads of data, loads of accounts / passwords, nothing wrong with the 'base' part
of the OS... There's no need to really.

My problems are generated from to many ports / inconsistencies in the ports, and
so forth.  So that's really the only part of the OS that actually needs some
serious work.

I also can't re-install the Base OS remotely...   Yes, I can make world to
upgrade it (which has already been done), but not reinstall it in the sense of
format / repartition / etc...

uscanner firmware upload? (w/ sane?)

[Harald Schmalzbauer]

Hello,

I changend usbdevs and uscanner.c a bit so my Epson Perfection 3490 PHOTO 
attaches to uscanner0 instead of ugen0. (See patch below)

If I use this scanner on another supported operating system I can connect it 
to my FreeBSD machine and "scanimage" works fine.
But if I repower the scanner "scanimage" just hangs with -L.
The problem is that the scanner needs firmware to be uploaded when repowered.
I have the correct firmware binary and I also configured sane to use that but 
it seems sane doesn't upload the binary.
Is there any method to upload the firmware to uscanner with on board 
utilities?
Any other hints?

Thanks a lot,

-Harry
