FreeBSD 6.0 fdisk = bad disk geometry ?
I'm having trouble setting up a new RAID5 array. It's a RocketRAID 1740 with 4x 500G disks, in RAID5 this gives approx. 1.5T of space. It looks like it's operating properly on /dev/da0 . Unfortunately, when I go to FDISK this via /usr/sbin/sysinstall I see the same error over and over and over trying to set my disk to the right cycls / heads / sectors. here are 2 screenshots of the messages : http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/theorem21/manual_set_err.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/theorem21/repeat_set_err.jpg Even trying to set the disk manually gives the repeat_set_err.jpg, so I can't possibly have a correct disk geometry. Can anyone help me out ? Any suggestions are welcome, I don't know if ignoring this is the best option.

Re: send error with perl and unix domain sockets
Sent this a while back and never got a response. Any ideas would be
very appreciated!
Thanks!
I'm working on getting a script to work (see below). It is a perl
daemon associated with a bittorent client that I am helping develop.
The daemon uses unix domain sockets to commincate with the php pages.
However, anytime a message is sent via php, the script dies with
send: Cannot determine peer address at
/usr/local/www/root/tf-b4rt/trunk/html/bin/fluxd/fluxd.pl line 1256
I did some reasearch and found a similar problem with OpenBSD's perl
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/02/msg121151.html
and tried to apply that fix to my own Socket.pm's. I modified these files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] p5-IO]$ locate Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/blib/lib/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/Socket.pm
and re-started my process, but no effect. the bug report above
suggests that this was a problem for OpenBSD due to differences in
struct sockaddr_un. Could that be a problem here as well?
the php code which communicates with the socket is below
-begin php--
/**
* send command
*
* @param $command
* @param $read does this command return something ?
* @return string with retval or null if error
*/
function instance_sendCommand($command, $read = 0) {
if ($this-state == FLUXD_STATE_RUNNING) {
// create socket
$socket = -1;
$socket = @socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if ($socket 0) {
array_push($this-messages , socket_create() failed:
reason: [EMAIL PROTECTED]($socket));
$this-state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
return null;
}
//timeout after n seconds
@socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO,
array('sec' = $this-_socketTimeout, 'usec' = 0));
// connect
$result = -1;
$result = @socket_connect($socket, $this-_pathSocket);
if ($result 0) {
array_push($this-messages , socket_connect() failed:
reason: [EMAIL PROTECTED]($result));
$this-state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
return null;
}
// write command
@socket_write($socket, $command.\n);
// read retval
$return = ;
if ($read != 0) {
do {
// read data
$data = @socket_read($socket,
4096, PHP_BINARY_READ);
$return .= $data;
} while (isset($data) ($data != ));
}
// close socket
@socket_close($socket);
// return
return $return;
} else { // fluxd not running
return null;
}
}
-end php---
and the perl daemon's socket code is below
--begin perl--
sub checkConnections {
# Get the readable handles. timeout is 0, only process stuff that can be
# read NOW.
my $return = ;
my @ready = $select-can_read(0);
foreach my $socket (@ready) {
if ($socket == $server) {
my $new = $socket-accept();
$select-add($new);
} else {
my $buf = ;
my $char = getc($socket);
while ((defined($char)) ($char ne \n)) {
$buf .= $char;
$char = getc($socket);
}
$return = processRequest($buf);
$socket-send($return);
$select-remove($socket);
close($socket);
}

Re: A good server motherboard.
This might be less sophisticated than you're looking for, but here's what I did with my latest home media server. I looked out for the cheapest desktop size Dell server I can find. (I have three of them now. Two are 6 years old, and have never had problems.) I got my media server last year. I waited until the price got to $399 with free shipping, the 430 SC. I get these machines with no OS, no extra warranties, CD-ROM only, no CPU upgrade, nothing else. Free shipping or upgraded RAM is usually part of the deal. For my media server, I went out to my favorite cheap vendor, and got 4 250 GB serial ata drives for $75 each, and an additional 1/2 GB of RAM. You might need a mounting kit for the 4th drive, but the first three are a snap. RAM's usually a lot cheaper if you don't buy it from Dell. The Dell servers have been coming with onboard gigabit ethernet for some time. I've installed FreeBSD on all of them with no hardware problems at all. For my windows computers, tivo, etc, it's a big hard disk that never crashes. But with all the unix goodies, too.

I am attempting to zip large files that are 2GB - 3GB. uname -a; FreeBSD 3s1.com 4.11-STABLE FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #7 I have tried gzip, bzip2 from the ports and rzip. All give no errors on zipping, but will not unzip, siting CRC errors. Is there a maximum file size for zipping? Is my system too old? Maybe a file or library that all zip programs depend on that is corrupt? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sometimes we had to refill the oil lamps before gzip completed, but we made do. I routinely gzip and gunzip files several gb in size on a 4.8 release machine. If I had to point fingers I would question your disk. Try using gzip and gunzip on a different drive. Also you don't say if the files are local, if you are transmitting the files make certain they are not being sent in ascii format, ftp for instance.

Clustered file system
Hi We are expanding at work and I am messing around with different setups. I need a file system that will *look* like its just on one machine, like when mounting with NFS, but because of the large amount of data, I really need to expand the files to several servers. Also I need some kind of security. I haven't set something like this up before so all kind of friendly advice would be greatly appriciated. What solution is recommended?

Re: Bridging with tap

Re: DHCP client configuration on FreeBSD
--- Beech Rintoul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Saturday 28 April 2007, L Goodwin said: --- Beech Rintoul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 27 April 2007, L Goodwin said: When I ran the DHCP client configuration tool on FreeBSD 6.2, it added a new hostname variable to /etc/rc.conf below existing the hostname var (it did not remove or comment-out the old hostname variable). The NEW hostname includes the ISP's domain name: hostname=dhcppc0.ISP domain name here This hostname differs from the hostname listed in the router's DHCP table dhcpp0 (no domain name). It also shows unique IP addresses and MAC addresses for all hosts on the LAN. I can ping the IP address assigned to the FreeBSD system, but ping and net lookup fail when its hostname is specified (both with and without the domain name). Questions: 1) Why did the hostname get changed (does not occur for Windows clients)? 2) Why does the hostname in /etc/rc.conf contain the DNS domain name? FreeBSD uses the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) as the hostname. Example: hostname= yourmachine.yourdomain.com 3) How do I resolve this problem? Unless you provide your own DNS that resolves your internal network and supersede dhclient with your domain name, DHCP will use the domain and DNS from your provider. Your windows boxes point to your isp's nameservers which have no records of your server or it's address. Therefore it can't resolve your machine's hostname. If you do provide your own internal name service you will also need to edit /etc/dhclient.config (see man dhclient.conf), and point your windows boxes to your DNS instead of your isp's. You can use a fictitious domain name internally, just make sure that the domain doesn't actually exist on the net. You can also use the FreeBSD IP address as a domain name on your windows boxes to connect. Is there a way to a) make dhclient use hostname without a domain name appended, or b) make dhclient instruct the DHCP server to append the domain name to the hostname? You're confusing windows networking with real networking. If all you're trying to do is share files with the windows boxes, just put the machine name as hostname and don't worry what gets appended to it. Samba will handle the windows part of it (machine name and workgroup). Windows uses a different system to identify machines on it's network. Don't confuse a windows domain with a real domain they are different things. On a windows network you use samba to make the windows boxes think that the FreeBSD box is one of theirs and share files and printers. You can find detailed how-to's on samba's site. There is no need to ping by hostname unless you're running a server on the FreeBSD box in which case you need to setup real DNS or just use the FreeBSD IP as the hostname from windows. Running bind requires a fairly steep learning curve, but there are simple nameservers in the ports tree that would probably better suit your needs. Are you referring to the built-in command in bsh that lists/alters key bindings for the line editor? I don't understand what bind has to do with any of this. I'm not talking about binding keys, what I was talking about is bind. That's a dns server already in the base system. If you want to freely resolve your machines by hostname and domain you probably need to set up a caching nameserver to resolve your internal network. And point all your machines at it. I was wrestling with a few different issues. It finally came down to these few things: I needed to verify that the server was accessible from both Windows clients (XP Pro and Vista Home), and it was necessary to enable each Windows client to resolve the server hostname to its IP address. I did this by adding an entry to the hosts and lmhosts (for good measure) files on both clients. This was easy under XP Pro. It was a little more complicated under Vista -- I got to learn about the User Access Control, which was preventing me from saving changes to the hosts and lmhosts.sam files. After this I was able to view/read files on the share, but not write to it. I had to change directory permissions on the samba share (chmod o+w) to enable users to connect as guests with no authentication. I had assumed that since this is not mentioned anywhere that it was handled by Samba. I was finally able to create/copy files and folders to the share. Woo-hoo! The next step is to implement a form of security that will work for both Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Home Premium. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

W.D.,
You can't unfortunately. The only way to go about this is plan out a
date when you can take down the server for approximately 1-5 hours
(comfortably) depending on what you need to compile / install, and the
speed of the machine.
Another option (not really encouraged, but available), is to take
cvsup, sync to the most current 5.5 / 6.2 tree, and compile, then take
down your machine quickly into single-user mode while installing the new
kernel / world. The process is in gross detail here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html.
Also, did you know that your mail address probably is getting marked as
spam by the majority of the users on this list running anti-spam software?
Mark,
That's not true. The ports collection is supposed to work for all
versions of FreeBSD which are supported, which includes 5.x.

FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
Just ran cvsup. Any ideas?
--
The ports collection is only guaranteed to work on the current release of
FreeBSD, which is 6.2.
You're running 4.4-REL, which is fairly old (~5.5 years -- Sep/2001) and you
should consider upgrading.
How do I do that without killing this production server?

W.D.,
You can't unfortunately. The only way to go about this is plan out a
date when you can take down the server for approximately 1-5 hours
(comfortably) depending on what you need to compile / install, and the
speed of the machine.
Another option (not really encouraged, but available), is to take
cvsup, sync to the most current 5.5 / 6.2 tree, and compile, then take
down your machine quickly into single-user mode while installing the new
kernel / world. The process is in gross detail here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html.
Also, did you know that your mail address probably is getting marked as
spam by the majority of the users on this list running anti-spam software?
Why? What anti-spam methods are you using?
Mark,
That's not true. The ports collection is supposed to work for all
versions of FreeBSD which are supported, which includes 5.x.

Re: can't zip large files 2gb
Maybe a file or library that all zip programs depend on that is corrupt? Your system is not too old, there were plenty of big files around when 4.11 was released. Sometimes we had to refill the oil lamps before gzip completed, but we made do. You are right about the age of the system - I just got the same error gzipping 339M file, but not a smaller 149M file. I tried your disk idea. I unmounted the volume I was using and did an fsck with no errors. Then I gzip'ped a new set of files on another drive, and got the same error. I recompiled gzip from source also. Also you don't say if the files are local, if you are transmitting the files make certain they are not being sent in ascii format, ftp for instance. I am not transmitting the file via FTP or anything else right now. All is local for now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
Just ran cvsup. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
4.x hasn't been supported for some weeks. Please update to a newer
version of FreeBSD (6.x preferred).
Also, just remembered. The server is running Plesk
server management software. (Also, an older version.)
If I upgreade to 6.2, it will kill Plesk.
Any other ideas?
Can't help you with Plesk, but the last good ports collection is now
tagged RELEASE_4_EOL. You can cvsup using that tag. After that any
upgrades are on you. Also bear in mind that security fixes are no
longer supported on that branch. All of the 4.x build tools have been
removed from the tree, so ports after that will not build.
As for a production server, you should do a clean build on another
server and migrate your files over. There have been significant
filesystem improvements since 4.x and just doing an update will not
get you the benefits.
As for a version 6.2 is much preferred over 5.x.

Well, you could also roll back the port for 'make' via cvsup to a point where
it does compile, but 4.4 is ancient. I think it's time to bite the bullet and
upgrade.
I suggest going to at least 4.11 first. Then *maybe* a jump to 5.x , followed
by a jump to 6.x.
If this is production I'd build out a 6.2 version on another machine, throw the
software from box A onto Box B , then swap them quickly ( maybe just the HDDs
even!), downtime would be almost nothing and you can run this test to work out
any kinks along the way.
If that's not an option with a second machine then a staged upgrade to the
latest of the major revisions ( 4.4 - 4.11 , 4.11 - 5.5 , 5.5 - 6.2 ) The
three staged approach should creep in the changes slowly enough so you can
address problems along the way should there be any issues. A straight jump from
4.4 - 6.2 probably won't work due to the major changes along the way (ACLs have
been introduced, standard locations for various system utils have moved , etc..
). You will probably want a settling period for each of the staged approach,
say , 3 - 5 days after each one ?
Watch out for ISA cards if you have any, I attempted a jump from 4.11 - 5.1
with problems :(
Good luck,
