Maybe you have to change
(int*) sv
with
sv
because sv returns an int**, not int*

Thus, I'll include my cheat sheet here too. Section 21.4 from the handbook should be the final authority ;-) Note, following the procedure isn't difficult at all... what _is_ difficult is answering the questions 'mergemaster' asks correctly. In reality, this usually isn't too difficult either, but can be intimidating for less experienced users. The general rule of thumb for mergemaster is answer 'i' (install temporary version) for any file that you don't remember editing yourself - this usually means press 'd' (delete) when prompted to merge files like /etc/hosts or (possibly) /etc/printcap. On a typically configured machine, you are instructing mergemaster to either install (95%) or delete (4%) the temporary file it's prompting about; the other 1% of the time a 'real' merge is necessary. Ultimately, you need to use your head a bit during mergemaster. Other than that, the only thing you need to understand is how to use cvsup.

Re: FFS data integrity
The short answer is that fsck can detect the bad inodes and fix or delete them. Assuming no programming errors, you don't have to worry about a file containing bogus data after fsck has run. Unfortunately, if write-caching is enabled on your hard drive (and it probably is, for speed), then the drive may internally re-order the writes and the carefully crafted sequence of writes disappears, so there are no guarantees (or at least, not as many). Whether this is actually a problem depends on the brand, model, and firmware version of the drive, because some drives claim that data has been written to the disk when it is actually only in the drive buffer, while other drives are more honest. Let's suppose block A contains user A's private data. User A deletes the file, so synchronously the metadata referring to that file is updated, but the data block still contains the sensitive information. Now user B creates a new file B. Let's suppose the data block allocated for file B is block A. The right thing to do in terms of security is first update block A with the new data, and then update the metadata referring to it. But if metadata is updated synchronously first (the free block bitmap says that block A is allocated and the inode of file B points to it) and the system crashes, user B has access to user A's private data. In this case (asynchronous data blocks updates), fsck cannot fix the problem (if I'm missing something, please correct me). The following is extracted from Soft Updates: A Technique for Eliminating Most Synchronous Writes in the Fast Filesystem: When a new block is allocated, its bitmap location is updated to reflect that it is in use and the block's contents are initialized with newly written data or zeros. In addition, a pointer to the new block is added to an inode or indirect block (see bellow). To ensure that the on-disk bitmap always reflects allocated resources, the bitmap must be written to disk before the pointer. Also, because the contents of the newly allocated disk location are unknown, rule #1 specifies an update dependency between the new block and the pointer to it. Because enforcing this update dependency with synchronous writes can reduce data creation throughput by a factor of two [Ganger Patt, 1994], many implementations ignore it for regular data blcosk. This implementation decision reduces integrity and security, since newly allocated blocks generally contain previously deleted file data. The following is extracted from Metadata Update Performance in File Systems [Ganger Patt, 1994]: For example, a pointer to a newly allocated block should not be added to a file's inode before the block is initialized on stable storage. If this ordering is not enforced, a system failure could result in the file containing data from some previously deleted file, presenting both an integrity weakness and a security hole. One can read this in the man page for fsck_ffs: The kernel takes care that only a restricted class of innocuous file system inconsistencies can happen unless hardware or software failures intervene. These are limited to the following: Unreferenced inodes Link counts in inodes too large Missing blocks in the free map Blocks in the free map also in files Counts in the super-block wrong so I assume FreeBSD is doing the correct thing. Is correct this assumption? More details are found in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html Thanks, that entry in the handbook is really interesting. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, I disabled the SATA controller which I thought was the problem, in my BIOS. This didn't give any more different results than booting normally, except that the ad8 device wasn't created. The system just stopped loading after creating the acd0 device. So, that must not have been the problem, I thought. Then I disconnected the power and ATA cable from the problematic hard drive, which yielded the same results. Then, I disconnected my DVD drive, which didn't change the situation at all, except not creating the acd0 device at boot (And just hanging after initiating ad1, which is where I boot FreeBSD from) So I tried booting in verbose mode, which I hoped would give some error, or at least a clue. It didn't. At all. Then, my logic screamed at me, and I was smiling yet again. What if the verbose mode would give me a clue as to how the system manages to boot in safe mode? What if it tells me something like this and that was skipped, proceeding safe boot? After having figured out how to boot in safe AND verbose mode (By editing /boot/beastie.4th a little. Maybe booting in safe mode should be a 'boot' flag?), I happily rebooted the box again. Nothing broke from my edit, and it booted. I watched the screen and the scrolling text in anticipation, like a little boy on Christmas who is hoping that Santa will bring him the bike he's always wanted. As the kernel, very verbosely, complained about not being able to read stuff on the ad8 device, this kids eyes lighted up. He approached the Christmas tree, thinking that he had spotted the bike. And then, BAM. Everything with this boys name on the label under the tree was a soft package. Five packages from Santa; all soft. The kid lost hope, yet again, as his highly anticipated informative error messages were nowhere to find. I've attached the verbose dmesg.boot, in the hopes that someone will bring me a hard package with my name on it - before next Christmas.

The drive itself is connected to the optional PATA connector, which works wonderfully in Windows. I've currently managed to install Xorg and KDE on the box, all entirely in Safe Mode, but the performance is really bad, or not as good as it should be on a PC with a Pentium IV 2.4GHz and 1GB PC3200 RAM. Googling yields irrelevant results to my case, and search results for freebsd p4s8x (no quotes) indicate that FreeBSD should be working OK with my motherboard and all of its native components. So, does anybody know how to a) Fix this issue (or, if not) b) How to prevent a specific device (atapci1 or ad8) from being loaded during boot time? Again, googling yields no results, but I might be querying the wrong strings. Attached is my dmesg.boot Thanks for any help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, go figure. First, I disabled the SATA controller which I thought was the problem, in my BIOS. This didn't give any more different results than booting normally, except that the ad8 device wasn't created. The system just stopped loading after creating the acd0 device. So, that must not have been the problem, I thought. Then I disconnected the power and ATA cable from the problematic hard drive, which yielded the same results. Then, I disconnected my DVD drive, which didn't change the situation at all, except not creating the acd0 device at boot (And just hanging after initiating ad1, which is where I boot FreeBSD from) So I tried booting in verbose mode, which I hoped would give some error, or at least a clue. It didn't. At all. Then, my logic screamed at me, and I was smiling yet again. What if the verbose mode would give me a clue as to how the system manages to boot in safe mode? What if it tells me something like this and that was skipped, proceeding safe boot? After having figured out how to boot in safe AND verbose mode (By editing /boot/beastie.4th a little. Maybe booting in safe mode should be a 'boot' flag?), I happily rebooted the box again. Nothing broke from my edit, and it booted. I watched the screen and the scrolling text in anticipation, like a little boy on Christmas who is hoping that Santa will bring him the bike he's always wanted. As the kernel, very verbosely, complained about not being able to read stuff on the ad8 device, this kids eyes lighted up. He approached the Christmas tree, thinking that he had spotted the bike. And then, BAM. Everything with this boys name on the label under the tree was a soft package. Five packages from Santa; all soft. The kid lost hope, yet again, as his highly anticipated informative error messages were nowhere to find. I've attached the verbose dmesg.boot, in the hopes that someone will bring me a hard package with my name on it - before next Christmas.

Especially since the page says Integrated Graphics up to 64 MB, default setting 32 MB, which leads me to think that this integrated graphics thingy uses system memory, which would be taken out of the not-overly-generous 512 MB. It will almost certainly work for your VGA console. I also wouldn't count on the integrated sound or even ethernet. The modem, I can just about guarantee, is a winmodem and thus probably not useable. But in all cases, it's hard to know for sure since they don't say what the hardware is. The keyboard and mouse will probably work fine. The subject line says desktop server. My take is that it would be iffy as a desktop (might work, you never know) but probably fine as a light-duty server, although you may need to add a $10 ethernet card.

Please help - adaptec 2820sa not allowing installation
I did all my due diligence, I contacted freebsd-fs and _made sure_ that even though the 2820sa is not listed by name in the HCL, that I could take a 6.1-RELEASE cd and install freebsd on a 2820sa. I was _assured_ that these cards are supported in 6.1-RELEASE, that all is well, and I could install and that was that. Now I boot off of the 6.1-RELEASE cd, and sysinstall tells me no disks found. I tried safe mode, same result. I tried disabling all unnecessary items from the BIOS (onboard sata, USB, com2, LPT) and same result. FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE iso just does not find a disk controller. Period. So ... what do I do ?? I see no way of adding a driver to sysinstall .. .and even if I did I have no idea what to put there, as the published driver from adaptec is only for 5.x. I have to assume that aac is built into the sysinstall kernel, so what gives ? Why can't sysinstall see my 2820sa cards ?

Re: Please help - adaptec 2820sa not allowing installation
Ok, aac is in the dmesg. I can see both 2820sa cards in the dmesg, and I see no errors, etc. - there are just no drives listed in dmesg. My setup is 8 500 Gb drives in a single raid-6 array, size ~2.8TB. Any problems with that ? Perhaps sysinstall cannot deal with a 2TB drive ? There are no other drives in the system besides the single 2.8TB raid 6 array ... Have you got any other drives you can attach to the raid? If so, disconnect the 8 drives connected, connect up a couple that are not part of the raid and configure them as a simple raid 1 and see if the installers sees that raid. Or try any combination in drives to bring the raid size down below 2TB (I'm sure this limitation has been fixed.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: X ATI driver? - solved, sort of
Operationally, at least, I seem to resolved my problem with Xorg 6.9.0 and using the Mach32 ATI video card. I included lines in xorg.conf.new in Section Device ... Option tv_out false Option tv_standard None I suspect only the latter is necessary but haven't experimented to see. The reason for doing this seems to me to be some bugs in the ATI driver arrangement and Xorg general code. It seems that there are many implementations of strncasecmp in different packages, despite what seems to be a standard available in libc (???). Xorg's is xf86strncasecmp and is written so that it goes ahead and dereferences a null pointer if one is passed to it - hence the segment error crash. The null pointer comes from the string TvStd not being initialized when ATIProcessOptions runs with the Xorg -configure generated xorg.conf.new file. While I haven't traced how the variable gets defined, by changing the option above, that would seem to be the effect as it quits crashing subsequently. -- Walter M.

pkgdb.db locked
Hello. When I run the command pkgdb -Fu, I get the response [Rebuilding the pkgdb format:dbm_hash in /var/db/pkg ... can't convert String into Integer: Cannot update the pkgdb!] I think I know where I goofed, so here's the story on my suspected mistake. I just upgraded from RELENG_5_4 to RELENG_6, which went fairly smooth. I'm now upgrading my ports but I was foolish today and ran portupgrade without first reading /usr/ports/UPDATING. I think this is the source of my problem (as in, running the command. Of course not reading UPDATING is another problem! but I don't need help with that). So, I first ran portupgrade -arR portupgrade did not upgrade linux_base-8 and instead reported that it was marked as IGNORE and to use linux_base-fc-4. So, I ran the commands cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8 make deinstall cd ../linux_base-fc-4 make install clean This it did fine, but when I now try to run pkgdb -Fu, I get the following output: [Rebuilding the pkgdb format:dbm_hash in /var/db/pkg ... can't convert String into Integer: Cannot update the pkgdb!] I then read /usr/ports/UPDATING, saw that linux_base-8 was dropped and replaced by linux_base-fc-4. So, I then did the suggested command. portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\* This produced [Rebuilding the pkgdb format:dbm_hash in /var/db/pkg ...

Plus, I cannot locate pkgdb.dg with ls -a /var/db/pkg My questions are: How do I remove the lock on pkgdb? Where does pkgdb.db go when its locked? find does not locate it. I ran find / pkgdb.db | grep pkgdb.db find: pkgdb.db: No such file or directory Also, if pkgdb.db was deleted, how do I rebuild the pkgdb.db?

Re: Python port problems

First it seems some configuration step may have been missed. prefix should have been replaced with a path - probably /usr/local/ mailman/. Hmmm... How do I correct this? I have no idea. What I said in my first response still applies. This same port works on another FreeBSD machine of mine. I've posed this question to the FreeBSD Questions list, but I seem to have baffled some, which is why I thought I would post this question here. I hope this appropriate to post here. You might compare the 'rc' file on this machine to the one on the working machine. That might provide a clue. This is the paragraph I was referring to above by what I said ... We probably can't be much help either. The output you posted seems 'interleaved' and is not too intelligible without knowing what is being run. In general, we are not able to help much with 3rd party packages when the problem is with the package rather than the underlying Mailman. Just in case you'd like to take a stab at this, I'm enclosing the full error message. I'd *really* appreciate your help if you are able to help me, since I'd really like to get Mailman running again on this computer somehow, and have reached the end of my rope... The full output really isn't any more help than the excerpt, since we still have no idea what's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh that's producing all these errors. This script is part of your FreeBSD port. It's not in our distribution. Also, we have no idea in what ways files we do know about have been changed in your package. One wild guess - look at bin/paths.py. It should contain real paths as definitions for 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix'. If it's wrong, then so probably are cron/paths.py and scripts/paths.py (and who knows what else). -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

I suspect that if it were smaller than 2TB, it would see it correctly. I have a number of options with which to deal with this, all of which involve either wasting money or wasting disk space. Fantastic. Right - FreeBSD doesn't recognize 2TB LUNs. You should make two LUNs, and concat them or stripe them with GEOM. Don't use the large partition for the OS either. You shouldn't waste either disk space or money. Let's say I have 8 disks. Let's say I require raid6. If I make one array, I lose 25% to raid overhead. If I make two arrays, I lose 50% to raid overhead. So it would seem that my inability to use a 2TB LUN does indeed lose me both space and waste money. I suppose if you call increased redundancy 'waste' then yes. Wouldn't two 4 disk RAID 5 arrays give you similar (not exactly, but close) redundancy to the RAID6 option, and keep your space up? If you require RAID6, then the point is mute, and you're stuck with multiple RAID6 arrays unless your controller allows you to carve LUNs from the array, so you could create a 2.7TB 8 disk RAID6, then carve off a few LUNs for the OS to see. By the way - FreeBSD isn't the only OS without the addressing necessary to support 2TB SCSI LUNs. My solution is to use two disks as a mirror, and use the other six for a raid6 array, thus losing 3/8 to raid overhead instead of 4/8, but it's still worse than 2/8 which is what I wanted to do ... Perhaps I misunderstand you ? That sounds reasonable, and should give you a working setup. Judging by the disks and setup, it sounds like you are looking for a good archive type storage, and not high performance (high-IO) storage, so the above configuration would suit you just fine I suspect.
