Is there any reason you were making it a partition 'd:' instead of 'a:'
I don't think it would matter, but it might lead to errors keeping
track of things when typing in commands.

Well, a SCSI parity error is a bad sign. That is pointing to
a hardware problem of some kind. It could be media (disk) or
cables or controller failure, etc.
Try this and if you still get SCSI parity errors, better open up
the box and work on parts.
NOTE that those two dd commands are not quite the same.
The first writes to da1 and the second to da1s1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=1024
fdisk -I da1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1s1 bs=512 count=1024
bsdlabel -w da1s1
bsdlabel -e da1s1
Then in the editor it brings up, put all the slice in a: -
just copy the c: line and change the type to BSD4.2 from UNUSED
and make the [fsize bsize bps/cpg] columns be 2048 16384 28552
Then do:newfs /dev/da1s1a
If that still gets SCSI errors, then your problems are below the
level of the software.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
Hi, Jerry:
Yes, I want to run Samba (sorry the list of requirements from my original email
got left off). I also want to have the server run scheduled backups of the
mirror disk. However...
I am not able to initialize da1 and da2 successfully. I went through the
process of running FDISK and the Label Editor from the sysinstall menu, both
without any error messages, but it does not work! (see the steps I took below)
Here are the detailed steps I took and results (FAIL). Did I miss any important
steps or do something incorrectly, or is there a problem with these disks?:
1) Boot FreeBSD and login as user "root".
2) Start sysinstall from the shell prompt.
3) Select the Configure menu option and run FDISK.
4) Created a single slice ("da1s1") on da1, then repeated the process for da2
("da2s1"). Both slices are the same size (17912475 blocks).
5) Select "Label Disk Label Editor" in FreeBSD Configuration Menu.
[See attached file containing FDISK and Label settings]
6) I then tried to format the "da1s1" partition using:
newfs /dev/da1s1d
...which failed with "newfs /dev/sa1s1d: could not find special device"
Checked /dev and found "da1" and "da2", but not the expected "da1s1d" and
"da2s1d", so I tried:
newfs /da1
...which failed with:
...
(da1:ahc0:0:1:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 0 0 a0 80 0

I then tried "fdisk -BI da1" from the shell prompt, I get "fdisk: Failed to

There's something fishy going on here, but I don't know what to do about it.
As stated in a previous posting, I ran the "Verify Disk Media" and "Low-level

Probably there is some confusion.
If you alredy have your FreeBSD stuff on da0 and only want to put
the windows stuff on da1, then you don't need it divided up in
to all the extra partitions.
If you want Windows clients to use it, do you plan to run Samba?
If not, maybe you should just make the disk a Windows disk, but make
it FAT32 so FreeBSD can both read and write it. If it will be the
store for Samba, then forget this comment.
As for the unused bit before and after the slice, if I understand what
you are pointing to, that is normal. It is now normal to just skip
the first whole track where an MBR might be written rather than just
one sector. That is the 63 extra blocks at the beginning.
Then, fdisk will ignore trailing stuff that doesn't conveniently fit
in to the addressing scheme.Neither part amounts to much actual
disk space by today's standards so it is just ignored. If you are
going to make a mirror, then try to get the two slices to come out
to the same size. Otherwise don't worry about it.

CUPS + FreeBSD 6.2 + HP Laserjet 5
I'm trying to print a test page for my printer using cups and I get the following error: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! I couldn't find anything when googling with FreeBSD in my search. When I took out FreeBSD, I got something for debian referencing lines 103 and 109 in the config being uncommented to get it to work. 103 in the default is blank, 109 is blank except for teh '#'. I uncommented this line, and restarted CUPS: application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster It didn't fix anything. I added this line, and restarted: application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster And I still get the same error. I know CUPS worked fine from an install maybe 6 months ago (it had a completely different printer setup than now, it wasn't as easy to setup, but at least it worked). My question (1) Anyone know how to fix this issue with the current version (cvsup'ed and built today via 'sudo portupgrade -f print/cups-pstoraster print/cups-base print/ghostscript-gnu* print/ghostscript-gpl*' (2) How do I get csup/cvsup to match one port or a group of ports by name? I put *default date=2006.08.01.00.00.00 in my supfile (etc/supfile-ports) and tried: sudo csup -i '*cups*' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports sudo csup -i 'print/cups*' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports sudo cvsup -g -i '*cups*' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports sudo cvsup -g -i 'print/cups*' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports and none of the above updated any files according to the output (I usually see a list of files updated). Since ports were updated this morning, without the date line (so to today's ports layout), I should have seens something.

The main issues I had with them is that their setup is really not flexible, and we found greylisting to be more effective than their firewall. The appliance is designed for a business type setup and does that very well, but worked very poorly for an ISP setup. We found that it was considerably cheaper and more effective to run our own anti-spam setup.

We have two Barracuda 400 series units clustered, with 300+ domains, and about 7,000 user accounts. Before we had two of them, one was sluggish at times, but since we've implemented the cluster we've had no issues at all. The lowest level techs can manage the majority of user related issues with the box, so other than a few clicks to add a domain or change a setting, it's literally set it up and forget about it. We also received the second unit that didn't quite work right out of the box, so they shipped one up the next day, prior to us sending the current one back. (Buy the instant replacement). The units are very easy to implement and administer. As you are already familiar with the bandwidth requirements, that won't be an issue for you. We used Postini for years until we switched to Barracuda. I haven't been happier. We also use SpamAssassin for a few select domains, but the Barracuda's do all the rest.

Help : How to add new architecture support in FreeBSD?
Resending with "Help" keyword in subject. I just joined this mailing list, SO please forgive me if I violate any rule and please correct me if you can. Question : I have been tasked to add support for new architecture ( e.g.of architectures are - alpha, amd64, i386, etc likewise we are going to have new architecture ) in FreeBSD. Are there any known documents/BKMs/collateral regarding this. Any pointer/info will be helpful. I believe, I am looking for collateral which explains or outlines changes required in different config files/makefiles/etc.. to add support for new architecture. Thanks in advance. -- Kiran P. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Probably there is some confusion.
If you alredy have your FreeBSD stuff on da0 and only want to put
the windows stuff on da1, then you don't need it divided up in
to all the extra partitions.
If you want Windows clients to use it, do you plan to run Samba?
If not, maybe you should just make the disk a Windows disk, but make
it FAT32 so FreeBSD can both read and write it. If it will be the
store for Samba, then forget this comment.
As for the unused bit before and after the slice, if I understand what
you are pointing to, that is normal. It is now normal to just skip
the first whole track where an MBR might be written rather than just
one sector. That is the 63 extra blocks at the beginning.
Then, fdisk will ignore trailing stuff that doesn't conveniently fit
in to the addressing scheme.Neither part amounts to much actual
disk space by today's standards so it is just ignored. If you are
going to make a mirror, then try to get the two slices to come out
to the same size. Otherwise don't worry about it.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
Thanks for the steps, Laszlo. I got as far as creating a freebsd slice on da1
(both da1 and da2 have been low-level formatted).
Now I have two questions:
1) When creating the slice on da1, I specified to use the entire disk, but
there are 2 unused sections -- one before and one after the new slice (please
see attached file). Should I start over and specify a smaller size? What size
should I specify?:'
2) About creating partitions on da1: You specified to add partitions to the
slice (/dev/da1s1a, /dev/da1s1b,/dev/da1s1c etc.).
Please note:
a) The entire FreeBSD filesystem is on da0.
b) I want to use the entire da1 disk for users on Windows clients to store
files/documents on. I also want the mirror disk (da2) to be backed up regularly.
Do I need to create more than one partition on da1? What are the requirements
for naming partitions in this situation?
Thanks!

appreciate a concise set of steps for doing this right the first time.
1. First of all, you should install the base system on da0 and boot it.
(Leave da1 and da2 untouched)
2. Create a slice on da1 ("fdisk"). The name of the new slice will
probably be "da1s1". (You will find this inside sysinstall) I found that
sometimes I had to use a bit smaller slice than the available space,
because equally looking disks are not always equal. (Not kidding!)
3. Use disklabel editor to add partitions to the slice
(/dev/da1s1a,/dev/da1s1b,/dev/da1s1c etc.) and format them with newfs as
needed.
4. Change loader.conf, add this line:
geom_mirror_load="YES"
5. Execute these:
gmirror load
gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da1
6. Carefully rename all references in /etc/fstab
/dev/da1s1X becomes /dev/mirror/gm0s1X (where X can be a,b,c,d etc.)
7. Reboot
8. Check your mirror with "gmirror list" and "gmirror status", and see
if your filesystems are mounted with "df".
9. Add da2 to your mirror with this command:
gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da2
Please ask others, as I did not try this and I'm not 100% sure it will

Hello,
is there an emulator or virtual machine, which would run MS Windows on FreeBSD
as a host system and support USB devices? (I do not mean USB Mass Storage,
but e.g. Garmin GPS device with Garmin's MapSource.)
Preferrably some free software.
AFAIK wine cannot support usb devices, VMware Server 1.x does runs only on

Thanks for that Dan. After having done some more reading, it seems private procmailrc files are processed -after- the global procmailrc files. I want to have all the users mail sent directly from the global procmailrc file to their mailboxes - that's no problem. Then I want to single out, say one user in the global procmailrc file and have that mail look at the personal .procmailrc file.

At a previous company I implemented a Barracuda solution, 3 - 600's to be exact, after investigating numerous (Postini, Brightmail, Ironport just to name 3). I set them up in geographically dispersed areas, including different timezones, and had them clustered to look from the inside as 1 unit.

I pounded on a demo model, again a 600, for 7 days, 2 or 3 of which I over-drove the box(sending it more than it could handle, allowing the extras to build up on the lab's source systems).

In the 3 years that I was there with the boxen IIRC only 2 had hardware fails, neither of which impacted us due to the clustering(tho' response times for quarantine access increased significantly). I found their tech support to be easy to work with and very professional. If the first-level support didn't know the answer they quickly admitted it and just as quickly called in second-level support. A few times I actually got to their third-level support. ;> In any case, I never sat on hold more than a minute or two. I like their API. It was powerful, having the ability to muck with any system parameter. I preferred the API when dealing with various setting enmasse. I did not like their reporting capabilities.

I've installed 6.2-RELEASE-p3 [which is also referred to as 6.2-STABLE, is that correct?] and built myself a SMP kernel. I'm sure it's a SMP kernel, because the config file has "options SMP" in it and while running it "sysctl kern.smp.maxcpus" returns 16. The BIOS says there are two CPUs, so I guess the second CPU is in fine condition and ready to go. As of FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE, SMP systems are correctly detected and the SMP kernel is used, no need to rebuild kernel.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Anti Spam
Hi all, I am posting this question here because I know there are alot of ISPs using FreeBSD (including me) and am hoping to get feedback, either directly to me or to the list. We are wrestling (as I am sure many are), with spam. Up until now we have been employing Spamassassin locally and using some 3rd party Anti-Spam servervices that are getting less and less reliable as the weeks go by. We are considering two hardware solutions, Easyantispam and Barracuda. Barracuda is very expensive, so the most likely candidate is Easyantispam. Does anyone out there have thought on either or both of these? Usability? Reliability? Total Cost of ownership? Integration issues? Any thoughts will be appreciated, -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
SMP only detects one CPU - help?
Hi all, Firstly, apologies for the length of this. It's my first mailing list posting, so I hope I'm not breaching any etiquette codes. Also I've only been using FreeBSD for a couple of years, so I'm still very new to the system. I have recently become the proud owner of a second-hand HP NetServer e800, which has two Pentium-III class [686] CPUs in it. I've installed 6.2-RELEASE-p3 [which is also referred to as 6.2-STABLE, is that correct?] and built myself a SMP kernel. I'm sure it's a SMP kernel, because the config file has "options SMP" in it and while running it "sysctl kern.smp.maxcpus" returns 16. The BIOS says there are two CPUs, so I guess the second CPU is in fine condition and ready to go. I've done a little Googling and digging around in the system. First, the obligatory "uname -a" output: "FreeBSD boring.dnsalias.com 6.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Apr 17 15:01:06 BST 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GAKKO i386" There's nothing in /var/log/messages about CPUs, as far as I can tell. The output of "dmesg" provides a possible clue: "real memory = 268369920 (255 MB) avail memory = 257167360 (245 MB) MADT: Forcing active-low polarity and level trigger for SCI ioapic0 irqs 0-15 on motherboard ioapic1 irqs 16-31 on motherboard kbd1 at kbdmux0 acpi0: on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) unknown: I/O range not supported can't fetch resources for \\_SB_.PCI0.ISA_.SIO_.LPT_ - AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: <32-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x1208-0x120b on acpi0 cpu0: on acpi0 pcib0: port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci_link0: BIOS IRQ 10 for 0.15.INTA is invalid" Several possible clues in that snippet, now that I look at it. The "MADT" line is suspicious but I think the real culprit might be revealed in the "can't fetch resources" line. On the other hand it might be a completely unrelated problem. Google is silent on the subject of "AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE", and I don't see it in the Lehey or Lucas books. Finally, mptable shows what's really going on: "MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version StateFamily Model Step Flags 3 0x11BSP, usable 6 8 30x387fbff 0 0x11AP, unusable 6 8 30x387fbff" Apparently the "application processor" is "unusable", whatever that means.

I agree. As much as I personally dislike flash, I have business clients who would be willing to switch from Micro$oft to FreeBSD. The main stumbling block is the lack of stable flash support. Where I have deployed test versions of FreeBSD with either OO or KDE with Firefox, they were generally happy except for flash. This is one of the things we need to overcome if we're ever going to be seriously considered as a desktop os. Most clients expect the browser to at least work as well as Micro$oft, however misguided that is. Being taken seriously is over-rated. Being taken seriously as a desktop OS would be an excellent joke was the reality of it not so horrifying. Televisions are much better at providing the sort of cacaphonic nonsense that flash users have come to expect. I am pleased clicking a link and coming across the dreadful, "Must have MorkothMedia Flush Player 45.6 or newer installed to use this site". Honestly, I was expecting something jumbly but likely full of information. The "download plugin" box tells me that I have just saved the time of listening to some irritating music while it dawns on me that I have hit a dead end. The primary use of flash, as I have seen it in such places as you-tube and yahoo, is as a content slash copyright management* frontend. That they, the shadowy and sinister "They" in this case being that loveable and fuzzy company named after dried mud, even tried porting flash to linux was probably widely regarded as a mistake, at least internally. Porting it to even smaller-market operating systems, as far as the desktop is concerned, sounds like a losing proposition to me.
