Fwd: pause before "Trying to mount root from ufs:"
Hello, Very glad to be back with a a solution to my earlier problem: the key was the SCSI_DELAY option in kernel: I've change it from the default 5000 to 500 (I guess milliseconds) and now th delay before "Trying to mount root from ufs" is gone. The way to solution was not very smart but simple, and I'm going to tell it because it may help with other troubles too: I tried to boot with a 6.0-RELEASE but the delay was still there, then I tried to boot from a 5.4-RELEASE boot CD and it went smooth! No delay! A diff between output of sysctl -a on both versions revealed a possible difference: the sysctl kern.cam.scsi_delay variable is not present on 5.4-RELEASE (GENERIC) at all. There is also a chapter in handbook about this: http://graphics.itb.ac.id/wnugroho/freebsd/handbook/configtuning-disk.html 11.12.1.6 SCSI_DELAY (kern.cam.scsi_delay). Have a nice day! -- Forwarded message -- From: Vlad GURDIGA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 15-Mar-2007 10:20 Subject: pause before "Trying to mount root from ufs:" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Hello, My motherboard Intel D955XBK died these day, I took it to service center and they gave me a new one of another model: DP965LT. On my home computer I have dual boot with Windows XP and FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. I've expected Windows XP not to boot at all after the change, but fortunately it successfully came up, found all new component and everything went smooth. What I did not expect at all is that FreeBSD showed some problems: there is a short pause on boot before (I've measured about 4 seconds) before "SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!", and a long one (I've measured about 90 seconds!!!) between this message and "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad8s2a". Last night (14.03.2007) I've updated mys source tree (6.2-STABLE) an rebuilt the work and kernel hoping for salvation to come, but it did not. Rebuilt SMP-GENERIC but it did not help either. Another (bad) change that came with the motherboard change is that Xorg is hanging on start without any message. If I try to get back to console with Alt-Ctrl-FN, it beeps. Alt-Ctrl-Backspace does not work either. Keyboard is working: NumLock responds and fortunately Alt-Ctrl-Del works fine too, being the only way out of Xorg's hang. With the exception of motherboard nothing changed in hardware. What could be the cause? Here is the dmesg output. dmesg output start Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project.

Protsnap won't fetch updates
Hi, I'm trying to use portsnap on a 5.4 server which is behind a firewall, so I can't use cvsup (the department that controls the firewall won't open the cvsup port). I have my system setup with my proxy settings so that I can fetch files from the Internet using HTTP or FTP protocol using either the fetch command or FTP. (for instance sudo fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/README.TXT will successfully fetch that file. I've installed portsnap and setup the conf file, but when I run it with the fetch command, it always says I have the latest snapshot: internal:~% sudo portsnap fetch Password: Fetching updated snapshot tag... done. Latest snapshot on server matches what we already have. No updates needed. internal:~% sudo portsnap update Removing old files and directories... done. Extracting new files: The /usr/ports/UPDATING file never gets updated, so I know it's not working! Any suggestions?

Anything under /usr/local is not a part of an OS, "just" some software needs libintl.so.6 and refuses to start. First check if you've got gettext installed and what version.

Good for integrating source patches Bad for pruning out subsystems / profiling. ~BAS On Mon, 2007-03-19 at 15:53 -0400, Dave wrote: > Hello, > I've read a howto on creating your own FreeBSD isos located at: > > http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html > > and i'd like to combine this with an unattended file install.cfg i believe > it is.

Tamouh Thanks Tamouh for the test ! I did think of this, but after testing WHY changing a password resulted in "no space available", I realized that FreeBSD updates the /etc/master.passwd file, makes a backup copy of the 2 .db files, then runs "pwd_mkdb", which creates new .db files and finally it erases the 2 backup .db. So, since each .db is 44Mbytes, in the middle of the process I have 4 x 44 Mbyte files which cannot fit into 73Mbytes available space. Since it remakes the .db files, it steps on top of your symlinks I'm realizing that I'll have to install the system again in a separate disk, and then plug it into my server and mount the original disks as other partitions and copy the config files.. thanks. -- MSc.

Re: pwd.db too big for / partition
I have moved my root partition on one server. I copied the entire partition to a new partition on a different drive using cpio as I wanted /dev moved too. At the time this was running 4.x. After moving the root partition I rebooted and made sure the new partition was still fine. Then I changed both /etc/fstab files to mount the new root, and gave the old root a new mount point. On the root of the old root I added a boot.config file to tell the loader the correct drive and slice to boot from. After another reboot, I was using the new root partition. I keep the old one there for the boot.config. It like your's is too small do much else with given the huge drives we install these days. As for your old root, you should try to clear any space you can. I would look for any log files you can purge, etc, to get some working space. -Derek At 09:54 AM 3/19/2007, Marcelo Maraboli wrote: Hi my / partition has only 73.196 Mbytes available and since I have 22.000 users, I now cannot change anyone´s password..

FreeBSD boot loader halts
Hello, Can someone suggest a way to debug FreeBSD's boot loader? My FBSD 6.2 freezes at random after printing Default: F1 I haven't noticed this issue in the past with older versions of FreeBSD. Since this is a random issue, it's very hard to pin point the culprit by process of elimination (disabling APCI, etc...) After several ctrl+alt+delete reboots, the system does boot. Once booted I can run makeworld for a week without any issues. Perhaps a disk issue? I'm booting off a MegaRAID controller. Though I cannot crash the system using intensive IO after it boots. After it boots, it seems to be rock solid, so I'm lost here. Can boot loader be put into verbose mode and have it output debugging info? Thank you!

Probably, I am confused (not being a programmer). My plan is to compile
enblend with support for 300Mpx images and the project site does not say much
what is meant by the requirements (as per above).
Anyway, I will try and if have problems then I may come back here.
Thanks all for answering.

The mpt(4) in FreeBSD 6.1 doesn't work under ESX server (actually it's the virtual hardware that acts broken), but a more recent mpt will work fine. See this PR and/or the commit history for mpt(4) for more details: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/84040 I haven't done any migrations, but I have successfully run FreeBSD VM's installed from scratch under ESX 3.0 and 3.0.1.

manual root filesystems specification under VMware
I'm trying to move a FreeBSD 6.1 virtual machine from VMware server to VMware ESX Server. The original VM used a virtual IDE controller for the disks, and apparently VMware ESX server doesn't support this. The "VMware converter" applications translates the virtual disk files to use the Virtual SCSI controller under VMware ESX Server. However, I then get dumped at the "Manual Root filesystem specification" prompt, where I should be able to just type "ufs:da0s1a" and off I go. But what happens is that the system is hung right at that point and doesn't accept keyboard input. If I boot FreeBSD into safe mode I can make an entry at the prompt. But "da0" is not available. If I type "?" I see that all there is is acd0 and fd0. But the scsi device must be there because the system is booted from it. Anyone see how I can straighten this out?

Well, finally I could summon up enough courage to perform this procedure on a production server (such as it is). To break the mirror, I just went to motherboard BIOS (not the BIOS-based RAID utility) and changed the 'Configure SATA as' setting from 'RAID' to 'IDE'. Generally everything seems to have gone OK. The system now runs from /dev/mirror/gm0, which consists of ad4 and ad6. However, the kernel still sees the old ar0 array and complains that it's broken. Do I care, or should I just remove 'device ataraid' from kernel configuration? kernel: ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost.

This is what ataraid sees that causes it to find 'ar0' - delete that metadata from the disk, and ar0 will go away. Possibly there is an extra slice with a couple of blocks at the end of the disk?

Re: IPv4 loopback - solved
Disregard - I found the 'network_interfaces' line of rc.conf was lacking lo0. I added it back in and it seems to be booting correctly. unless you are sure you need the 'network_interfaces' line in rc.conf I would comment it out. the default value for it in 6.2 is 'auto' and I have never seen that not work. I commented it out, and it rebooted with the proper configuration. The strange thing is I installed the default configuration, did not add in the 'network_interfaces' line manually, and have not edited the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file. So I'm not sure how it got broken in the first place. Bottom line is all is up and running now. Thanks! LtCol Keith E.

The way to do this is potentially a little risky but I haven't had a problem with it yet after setting up several mirrors on live fileservers. There is a sysctl called kern.geom.debugflags: if you set this to 16 it will allow you to change the mounted filesystem. Bear in mind that since the metadata for the mirror is written to the last sector of the disk, there is a small risk of data loss: if that sector contains data it will be overwritten. There's a thorough howto by Ralph Engelschall, and an OnLamp article by Dru Lavigne, with more details: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html Jonathan Yes, the origonal disk was pretty full, but, I suspect this is not a good thing: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a507630 9525437176620%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1e507630 30688436332 7%/tmp /dev/ad0s1f 152451398 5956408 134298880 4%/usr /dev/ad0s1d 1444526103600 1225364 8%/var /dev/mirror/rainstones1 151368706 141135278 -1876068 101%/rainstone How is that even possible?

If you really are denying outbound TCP, you need to configure an FTP proxy, and configure fetch to use whatever that supports.

Re: export nfs to a host with dynamic IP address
On 3/18/07, Zhang Weiwu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Maybe this is not possible, but can I export NFS share to a host that have dynamic IP address? My office server export an NFS share folder to several local desktop computers. I often need to access these NFS share from my home computer, which have dynamic IP address. I do have a fixed domain name, myhome.ods.org always have a "A" dns record pointing to my home computer. Having dynamic IP address never caused a problem for me because, as I said I have fixed domain name (updated with ez-ipupdate) but when it comes to NFS it is a problem. If I write my fixed domain name in /etc/export I wouldn't be able to mount that share. NFS server seems to check the IP address that wish to connect to it, reverse lookup its domain name, and compare it with what's written in /etc/exports. For me it doesn't work because my dynamic IP address cannot reverse resolve to my fixed domain address. So, is there a network file system that can work for my case? I never tried NFS SSL authentication things because after a google search it looks quit complex to install and configure: but if that's the only way to go I'll start to learn it. I also know samba can provide authentication so I don't have to rely on IP address to control access. However I never set up samba server before: also I would do it if that's the only way to go. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance. Set up OpenVPN from ports/security/openvpn and export NFS to the VPN tunnel address. OpenVPN is secure, fairly easy to configure, and works well with dynamic IP. -- Noel Jones ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Logrotating and running a command
Sounds slightly beyond the mandate of newsyslog(8). Although instead
of a path-to-PID, a glob to pass to pkill(8) -HUP ${glob} would be on my
NFR list.
At that point, logrotate(8) may seem appealing (or a custom solution):
postrotate/endscript
The lines between postrotate and endscript (both of which must
appear on lines by themselves) are executed after the log file
is rotated. These directives may only appear inside of a log
file definition. See prerotate as well.

Re: sendmail name resolution
Sendmail uses the system calls to resolve names. You need to check: /etc/nsswitch.conf In that file check the hosts line, this gives the order for hostname resolution, typically it is files then dns. Then you should check your /etc/hosts file to be sure that localhost is there and correct. Also check /etc/resolve.conf that you have the correct nameservers for dns lookups. -Derek At 08:28 PM 3/18/2007, jekillen wrote: Hello: Where does sendmail look to find out who it is? Resolve.conf?
