Ah. Swap backing with no swap configured sounded oxymoronic, and I was
confused and left guessing by md(4) on 5.5-STABLE (March) till checking:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=md&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7-current&format=html
which explains swap backed operation in one short but crucial sentence.
But is running out of memory with swap-backed md (with no swap) likely
to be any prettier than the panics from (unreserved) malloc backing?

By 'ideally' I guess you mean that it doesn't, yet? I hope to get a
Soekris 4801 before too long, which will provide a chance to experiment
(though I'll likely run it from one of my old 4GB laptop drives anyway).
Also noted in passing: the 'auto' parameter to bsdlabel(8) used by one
mdconfig(8) example is undocumented, though supported in bsdlabel.c
Thanks,

My questions about freeBSD
Hi all, here are my few questions about freeBSD, they mostly concern Robustness, Security, Auditing and Support. These questions always apply to the standard packages of FreeBSD. Any additional sources can't be used in the target environment, where the Os is planed to be used. Robustness: - Does FreeBSD offer Load-Balancinglike Piranha, with the standard packages? This can be supported be clustering software or by dispatching service requests to different instances of the same server. - - Does it offer Failover with the standard packages? This can be supported be clustering software or by dispatching service requests to different instances of the same server. - - Is it possible to make a persistent image of the status of the running OS? This is needed to freeze the system and late continue computation with the same internal state. - - Is it possible to set the maximum allowed system resources for any process? To support real time system, some kind of partitioning or resource ensurance is needed. Security: - What security mechanisms does free BSD offer on the network and data link layer? In target solution the security of the other layers (transport and application) are handled by the running applications and the middleware. - Availability, Acess Control and Integrity are important. What does FreeBSD offer to support these kinds of security? - Is there a way to ensure Non-repudiation on a FreeBSD system? The system is security critical and might handle credit card information and other data to identify persons. Is it possible to link this data to user action on the OS level? Auditing: - Are tools provided for browsing audit trails? - Are security violations automatically logged? - Is it possible to add custom monitors to the standard auditing? - Are tools provided to create from auditing trails custom reports? - Is it possible to audit all transaction of the system or specify what transaction to audit? Support: - Is there commercial developer support for freeBSD available? - - Do freeBSD drivers for ARINC 429 exist? - - Do freeBSD drivers for the CAN bus exist? - - Do freeBSD drivers for ADFX exist? I hope that you can help me to answer these questions. I have read about freeBSD and was not able to find the answers I was looking for. It might be that I read any paragraphs concerning these topics in the manuals, but if that is the case I can't remember them anymore and would be glad if you can point me to these paragraphs.

Weird FTP issue???
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can possibly explain or give their expertise with this bizarre/weird issue if you will that I've been having while using such commands as portsnap, portaudit, fetch, etc. First off, I'm running FreeBSD v6.1. I have three (Internet) servers running the same FreeBSD version. However, one of the servers has been giving me trouble and I can't decipher whether or not it's a FreeBSD related issue or something else altogether. On this one server, whenever I try to use "portaudit", "portsnap", "fetch", or whenever I try to upgrade ports and it needs to "fetch" the updates the connections ALMOST always "time out". But what's weird is that I don't have the issue on the other two FreeBSD servers when they need to use the same commands. I can SSH to this (problem) server, ping to-from it, and everything else. It's gotten to the point where I thought it was a FreeBSD problem so I completely reformatted and installed the O/S. However, it's STILL doing the same thing. Upon trying to install certain distribution sets through FTP media, I'd get an error about it (FreeBSD) not being able to get a connection with the remote FreeBSD server. After that, I even went as far as changing network cards and it's still doing it. Using "netstat" while trying to use the commands shows that it's sending a "SYN" flag to the remote server, but no connection is ever established. I have all three servers plugged into the same router/firewall and have done so for years with no problems. This is the first issue of its kind. I'd greatly appreciate any insight, help, explanation, or something. This is getting really aggrevating.

again, WHAT "supported configuration" are you talking about here?
there's a properly installed perl-module. expecting freebsd ports of
perl programs to correctly use perl-compliant module installs is,
somehow, unreasonable?
here's what i know/see.
a freebsd port (help2man)
(a) looks for Locale::gettext
(b) finds Locale::gettext
(c) uses Locale::gettext in the build
THEN,
*fails* to recognize the in-place dependency IT ALREADY LOOKED FOR &
USED in updates of ports ...

that's not been my experience -- but, that's not the argument here.
i think it's not unreasonable to expect that "a perl-module is a
perl-module is a perl-module".
if it's properly installed -- and, in this case, it is, just like ALL
my other perl-modules, then a port should treate it
consistently/correctly.
just like all my other ports do -- just NOT help2man.
as for working around the problem ... the SIMPLEST solution is not to
bother with "ports" system in this case, and do a manual install of
help2man.
but my goal was to be helpful & report a problem.

when help2man is installed via ports it *USES* the cpan-installed perl-module.

Lost console when exiting X
Hi folks. I'm running 6.2-RELEASE, and recently installed Xorg. I've been using Fluxbox as my window manager, and everything has been working fine until recently. I cannot think of any major changes I've made to create this problem. Here's what happens. Once in a while (I can't reproduce the problem by doing anything specific), I exit X, and my TTY does not come back. I've verified the system has not crashed by SSHing in to the system -- where I can `startx`, and the X session resumes. I've tried [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace], which does kill the X session, but TTY does not resume as expected. I am using an nVidia GeForce 5500MX with the x11/nvidia-drivers, x11/nvidia-settings, and x11/nvidia-xconfig ports. Fluxbox and all Xorg dependencies are also installed from ports. (Yes, I did update my ports tree before installing.) The only change I've made to my xorg.conf was: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection and the default mode for resolution. I've also disabled the above section, thinking it was a compositing problem, but that did not resolve it. Any ideas, or pointers on where to look would be appreciated.

Yes, I have more than the required number of modems, and same with NIC's ;) Essentially, I want to swap out my Cisco 2651 with the FreeBSD box with the hardware configuration you just described. It's either put the BSD box in to the 100Mbps connection and leave the Cisco in place on the ADSL connections and route between them when necessary, or what I really want is to replace the Cisco entirely if I can multi-link with FreeBSD. > If you cover the requirements, I can send you a working configuration. > Not necessarily an exact replicate of what you send, but close enough.

Please, note that portsnap is not using FTP, but HTTP. The first thing to do, when a problem like this occurs, is to use tcpdump to capture a packet trace.

That's a very interesting article and explains why my unmounter is never called. And yes, it is the proper way. devd (and usbd specifically for usb devices) has been created to be able to propagate kernel hardware events to user land. It follows unix principles that root is owner of the machine and it's resources and decides what to do with it. Using these events one can call simple scripts or very complex programs. As for KDE, also look at dcop. For instance: dcop --all-users --all-sessions knotify default notify notify Me \ "I just sent you guys a notification.

Mostly within 6 hours. That seems to suggest that it isn't hardware, but doesn't completely eliminate the possibility. Often, vendors write drivers to work around known deficiencies in their hardware. Since FreeBSD's drivers are written to the specs, they may expose these deficiencies while the vendor's drivers intentionally avoid them. Additionally, FreeBSD seems to work hardware in different ways than Windows, thus tickling corner cases with hardware that's just barely failing. Run some hardware tests to be sure. Also, the driver issue that was raised is a good point. I've seen a number of buggy NICs where the vendor's driver worked around the bugginess so it _looked_ like FreeBSD was at fault.

The default "filesystem type" used by mount is "ufs", so you are trying to mount the DVD disk as a "UFS filesystem". It is certainly possible to create a DVD disk with a UFS filesystem, but the most common format for storing data in DVD disks is the filesystem known as "cd9660", so you may have to use: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom More details about creating and using CD-ROM disks, and DVD-ROM disks can be found in our Handbook. You can read the relevant sections at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html When you find the time, please feel free to skim through the rest of the Handbook too.

Yes that was the problem. I did this: ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 After that I could ping localhost and my VNC connection via SSH succeeded.

Philosophy of default "pkg_add -r" PACKAGESITE?
Here's one thing I've never quite understood about FreeBSD and I was hoping somebody could provide some enlightenment... I've got 6.2-release installed. By default (as you all probably know) "pkg_add -r" fetches packages from the "release" directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release Now here's where it gets weird for me. If I understand the FreeBSD release methodology , that "release" is a frozen-in-time snapshot of a particular release (6.2 in my case) that gets no future updates. As we move farther and farther beyond a particular releases debut-date, that snapshot (and the packages it contains) gets increasingly stale. Do I have that right? If I do, it seems to me that the absolute first thing I should do after installing a release version would be to change where "pkg_add -r" is sourcing packages from. Either to "current" if I like to live on the edge or "stable" if I want to be a more conservative. I'm curious, why does "pkg_add -r" point to the "release" snapshot of ports by default? Is the idea that a "release" is well-tested and that any deviation from that (even security or bug-fix changes) is an unknown that new users need to be shielded against when grabbing packages with "pkg_add -r"? Seems to me it would be better to have "pkg_add -r" point to stable (which, if I understand things correctly, does get updated packages). And how does one go about *permanently* changing the "pkg_add -r" target. You can set the PACKAGESITE variable in the shell which will work on a user-by-user basis but isn't there a way to centrally change PACKAGESITE without relying on each user to have properly config'd their individual shells? I know a lot of thought has gone into the current system so I'm thinking that these questions are due to the fact that I'm just not grok'ing something important about the philosophy behind all this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Gary ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Handling failed mount (media not connected)
My backup script (sh) works fine except when the backup drive (USB Flash drive) is not plugged in. I'm using mount_msdosfs to mount the backup drive. What is the best way to handle mount_msdosfs error? If the drive is not mounted, I want to detect the failure and execute error-handling code. I tried executing it in a subshell, which works when it FAILS, but not when it WORKS. Also tried trap 0, but it did not help. Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story.

Re: Sysinstall: No Floppy Devices Found
On Tue, 16 Jan 2007, Kevin Kobb wrote: I have found that when I do an install with an install.cfg file on a floppy, I must insert the floppy right after the system begins to boot from CD. If I don't when I tell sysinstall to read the floppy I get an error. As a work around, if I go into the options and select rescan for hardware devices (not sure if that is the exact wording) after inserting the floppy disk, it will work OK as well. Might be worth a try. No luck. I've rescanned time after time, and get nothing. No sloppy devices show up in dmesg, cannot use mount_msdosfs to access the floppy, etc. This is truly, truly frustrating, as I am trying to follow THESE instructions: http://3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=14850 I've even tried installing to an external (non-raid) drive in an attempt to use that drive as a "really big floppy". The boot loader doesn't know how to see the BSD partition on it, and apparently can only see "raw" bios drives. Another possible approach was to try and boot from the single drive and then use sysinstall to install onto the RAID array, but I've had issues with that before. As an aside, the module HAS to be loaded before the boot process, so I can't use kldload to load the module from a fixit floppy or something like that. My workaround at the moment is that I am downloading a snapshot ISO of -STABLE It might be nice if the "loading modules from floppy" procedure (while rarely required) was better documented. -Dan -- "It's three o'clock in the morning.

Possibly better (using sh again..):
#!/bin/sh
error_handling_func() {
err_code=$1; shift;
# do something here...
exit $err_code;
}
# This assumes that you have:
#1. cam/pass support built into the kernel.
#2. your USB device is interpreted as a SCSI device (which should be
the case).
#3. your USB device is unique / identifiable by a string.
camcontrol | grep 'Device string' || error_handling_func $?
# do something here since it passed..
Also, FWIW conditionals are actually done like:
if {statement} ; then
elif {statement}; then
else
fi
in Bourne shells.
Also, mount_msdosfs should return a non-zero exit code.
