Re: restart network without shutdown

[Rakhesh Sasidharan]

You'll still get disconnected, but you should be able to reconnect
after it's done.  Screen will allow the script to complete, whereas
your ssh session is killing it half/part way through...

I'm generally a big screen advocate, but in this case, wouldn't nohup
work as well? And it's in base.


Exactly what I was wondering. Wouldn't nohup work as well?

Re: NTFS-3G not mounting the partition during boot

[Rakhesh Sasidharan]

Starting ntfsmount.
/etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: _doit: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g  /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/w
indows
fuse: failed to exec mount program: No such file or directory

I don't exactly know what it means by "fuse: failed to exec mount program:
No such file or directory" since /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g exists, /dev/ad0s1
is my Windows 2000 partition, and I have created /mnt/windows myself.


Why is the mount point /mnt/windows broken over two lines? If that's the 
actual output from fuse (and not broken coz of some wrapping while 
emailing) then that could be the problem.

Okay, here's an update. I changed the script to the following
--
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
#

. /etc/rc.subr

name="ntfsmount"
rcvar=${name}_enable
command="/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g"
command_args="/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows"

load_rc_config $name

: ${ntfsmount_enable="NO"}

run_rc_command "$1"
--

and have also put rc_debug="YES" and rc_info="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and the
result is the following
--
/etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: ntfsmount_enable is set to YES.
Starting ntfsmount.
/etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: _doit: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g  /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/w
indows
fuse: failed to exec mount program: No such file or directory
--

I don't exactly know what it means by "fuse: failed to exec mount program:
No such file or directory" since /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g exists, /dev/ad0s1
is my Windows 2000 partition, and I have created /mnt/windows myself.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I did not write this script myself. I was searching the net for a solution
to this problem, and I found a thread on ntfs-3g forums where somebody had
posted this script. Apparently, it had worked for him and some other people.
I just copied and pasted the script. But since I wanted to know more about
startup scripts, I looked at the manual page for rc.d, and a sample script
there looked exacly liked this one. That's why I thought that the script
that I have is going to work as well.
I made the changes and am going to reboot the machine now. If they work,
i'll post the results...

Thanks a lot :)

im curious to know if you are referring to taking your fresh install of 6.2, 
and doing something like say:

pkg_add -r kde

and watching it install kde-3.5.4 ??  or perhaps it was some other package, 
but the point is that the packages-6.2-release folder does not hold the same 
things as package-6-stable folder.

or.. what exactly are you referring to, as being out of date?

What's the secret to gnome-terminal "open link?"

[David Benfell]

Hello all,

I would really like the "open link" function to work under
gnome-terminal.  But I can't find any relevant configuration
and a Google search comes up empty.

It worked out of the box under Ubuntu, opening up a new tab
in Firefox.  That's what I would like it to do under FreeBSD.

So what or where is the secret?

Thanks!

Out of date mirrors.

[Paul Myjavec]

FreeBSD,

I have just purchased a new workstation and have just completed a fresh
install.

One thing this install has taught me is how out of date a lot of mirrors
around the world are, particularly in my case the Australian mirrors and
doing a bit of reading I discovered that so many fellow Australians are
simply turning to FreeBSD main sites for all there Ports needs.

Upon emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] to find out what the story was I
received a bounce back message?

Can something be done about this, I for one would be happy to help out if
at all possible.

Regards,

Paul.

Hi Modulok,

It's possible to represent IPv4 addresses as a single number. I  
don't recall the algorithm for converting that four byte dot- 
delimited group into an integer, though, so I can't tell you what  
number it is. Perhaps you can Google the algorithm and do the math  
to figure out what it is.


aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd => 0xAABBCCDD, where AA = hex(aaa), BB = hex(bbb), etc.
In particular, 0xc0a80132 is the hex equivalent of 192.168.1.50.

An IP address + netmask can normally be represented in the routing  
table via the slash notation-- say 192.168.1.50/24 meaning a  
255.255.255.0 (or 0xff00) netmask.  Non-contiguous netmasks are  
represented by "address & netmask", but since no normal network ever  
uses such a netmask, they almost always represent a  
misconfiguration-- someone confused the arguments such that the route  
command interpreted the gateway IP as a netmask instead.

Hi Rakhesh,

What you say about the -F and -u flags sounds right. It's my 
understanding that "portsdb -Fu" is only required when the ports

easy one to remember, because as Dru said in that article, you may be

It looks a default IPv4 route using a non-contiguous netmask.  It's  
almost certainly the result of running route with the wrong  
arguments, rather than something you would intend to do.



2. How do I delete it? According to route(8) it is not a "valid

root# route delete 0&0xc0a80132

  route: writing to routing socket: No such process
  delete net 0: not in table
  0xc0a80132: Command not found.

The "&" is confusing the shell; you can probably do a "route delete  
default" to nuke it.

I've no idea whether that is a valid route or not, but the reason
you're getting that funkiness is that the shell is eating the & and
thinks you are sending the route process to the background. Try:

route delete '0&0xc0a80132'

And see if it lets you remove the entry.

ive used PACKAGESITE recently as well, i used it like this:

setenv PACKAGESITE 
ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/

you have to specify it as far as the directory you want it to pull the files 
from.  ../All/ would also be acceptable.

now that im about to click send, i actually cant recall if i specified the

How can I use the rum driver in 6.3-RELEASE?
The online man pages show that the driver is available in 7.

Every USB 802.11g adapter I've bought on eBay so far has been one of

Sadly I think that a lot of the VM products are ignoring FreeBSD. I
don't think VMWare is at all interested in supporting this OS. There
is a similar thread over on Parallels forums. People keep asking and
keep getting ignored. I have no idea why.

I'm still waiting for the day when I can run FreeBSD as my main
desktop OS, and have a virtual machine with Win XP and 3D acceleration
for gaming. Don't like dual-boot setups, but I don't see any progress
being made for the VM solution.

Install screen from ports, run it from within screen.

You'll still get disconnected, but you should be able to reconnect

Frequency Stepping crashing Notebook

[Subhro]

Hello,

I am running FreeBSD 6-STABLE on my notebook which is a HP nc6400.
Everything was working fine till I enabled powerd to dynamiacally
manage the CPU frequency. Since then the system has been crashing with
3 mins of completing booting. There is not errors indicated in the
system log.

Is there any known issues?

Thanks
Subhro

Hi,

After "# Defaults specification"

We added then line:

Defaults env_keep=*

Is this equivalent?

Re: dump -L

I'm seeing this too. It's always exactly one inode per file system.


not one, sometimes even tens.

Re: dump -L

[Wojciech Puchar]

I always use "dump -L" to dump a live filesystem.
However, when I restore the dump, I sometimes get messages like
"foo.txt (inode 12345) not found on tape" or
"expected next file 12345, got 23456"


i had it too, sometimes even restore is unable to restore well -1-9 dumps 
:(




I thought this should _never_ happen when dumping a snapshot.

What is it?

Thanks in advance for any input.
I am ready to provide additional info if required to understand the
problem.

Sorry,

a line like
Defaults!env_reset
in sudoers ought to do it or you can do it on a per user basis.

You are begging the question.

The functional definition of a live filesystem is one
in which you cannot guarantee the state to be
determineable across time.  Snapshots might make
it more likely, being faster, but they still have to work
in time*.  To put it another way: by the time any part
of the system knows the state of any part of the system,
it is wrong.

I would like to point out that I am not saying that
dump does not have a bug, but that this is not
evidence in and of itself for it.


*And no matter what anyone tells you, time is not
infinitely divisible.

Sudo clears the environment variable

[Olivier Nicole]

Hi,

On a new system that I am installing, I found out that the new version
of sudo version 1.6.9p3 clears the environment variables.

It was not the case on previous version like version 1.6.8p12.

I tried to understand what is the configuration to perform like it was
before, I tried to add the SETENV: tag like in

on  ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL

but it is not working?

Any clue?

Best regards,

Olivier

If it (or any other file) does exist in the filesystem, it should
exist also in the backup. Otherwise we have a defective backup.

Not to perpetuate an argument for its own sake,
but I suppose I meant "data loss" to mean the loss
of files that _should_ exist, as opposed to files that
_could_ exist.  A fine line, but in my /laissez faire/
universe a quite salient one.

As to whether wins.dat should exist is beyond me.
If you believe it should, then that would be data loss
by my metric.  I apologise for any confusion,
