Marc, I've personally given up on Plesk ;) if you want to find out more what it's doing, maybe you can run apache with only 1 thread and attach ktrace to it and see what plesk's php code is trying to do, and why it dies? or is it an intrinsic issue with quotas in a jail, that are not allowed?

/var growing too fast
Hello, I thought I would ask your advice. I only have a 2 GB /var slice and space is shrinking fast. I see that most space is taken by /var/db. $ du -hs /var/db 1.4G/var/db $ du -hs /var 1.7G/var $ df /dev/ad0s1e 2178510 1738396 26583487%/var Is it possible to release some space from /var/db? I seem to recall that /var/db is pretty important and I better not lose it... It may be that something else is eating up available space but I am not sure how to measure it. Every day about 1% more of available space is taken. Many thanks for ideas what to do (apart from bying a bigger drive :) And season greetings to you all!

Who would have guessed? Someone with more experience, or someone with good documentation in hand who's read it. If the documentation is lacking, I'll bet there are people who would appreciate your input. Seriously. I've absorbed my knowledge from so many sources (books, magazines, lists like this one) over such a long period of time, that I can no longer remember where I got any particular fact, in most cases.

It means that you have portaudit installed, and it's run as part of the daily scripts. That's a good thing. I'd recommend consulting the portaudit man page What it's found are packages on your machine that have security bulletins against them - that is, the packages named have vulnerabilities known to the FreeBSD Security team, which they believe should be patched. There's a link to the bulletin for each one - I think you'll find it enlightening to read some or all of them. I'd do a 'pkg_add -r portupgrade' to install that package, do a cvsup to get a current ports tree, then assess, very carefully, what you want to upgrade. IMHO all of the packages mentioned should probably get upgraded, unless you have *exceptional* reasons not to. To upgrade you can do 'portupgrade ' for each package named, or if you're feeling bold, 'portupgrade -aRr'. I know that setuid is cause for concern. I have three other machines with FreeBSD, with one going back over a year of virtually continuous 24/7 operation and this is the first time I have seen this type of message. For the programs reported with security problems it begs the question of dependencies if they are removed or updated. Some references are to cups and fetchmail neither of which I use or have use for, that I am aware of. Portupgrade will take care of dependencies. No worries, though you should also peruse the man page for portupgrade to get your knowledge up. This particular machine is primarily a web server. It does have Postfix running but just uses local delivery and only listens on private network interface. I am also a little dubious about posting any specifics to a public mailing list. I am admittedly a novice at this (on all my own systems so no one else's behind is on the line). Short of paying consultation fees to someone, this is about the only live contact I have on the subject. Thanks in advance for info: We were all novices - I still am, in far too many ways. Don't sweat it, and keep asking questions. Also, start reading the FreeBSD Handbook - it's online, and also downloadable, and covers this very topic.

One is to have only / and swap. For that, make swap 4096 MB and root the rest. This presumes you will not be running any server which is a realistic for a laptop and then you will not be doing backups very much and that you will be the only one with accounts on the machine. The other would be a more standard division which makes backups easier and tends to protect the system from runaway users and processes more. a: / (root) 256 MB b: /swap 4096 MB d: /tmp768 MB e: /usr 4096 MB f: /var 2048 MB g: /home all the rest. Some combine root and /usr in to one large partition and then make the rest as above. Others make root, /usr and /var one partition the size of the sum of those above and then keep the rest. I like to at least keep /tmp and /home separate from the OS partitions, namely /, /usr and /tmp. And, of course, at least some swap should be in its own partition. Alternatively, you could make /var and /usr smaller and move /var/log, /var/spool, /usr/ports and /usr/local to /home and make symlinks for them. Then /var might be 1024 MB and /usr might be 2048 MB. If you let your Email inbox grow to large size before cleaning it out, then you might also want to move /var/mail to /home. They all would take up just as much room, but it would be out of /home where they could grow as needed without having to know how much in advance.You want the initial /usr to be at least 2048 MB in order to initially install source and the base ports tree. Then, before you do your fisrt csup of the system and of ports and installation of any of the ports, you do the move and make the symlinks. That will leave /usr a little empty, but no problem. If you are running some database that uses /var/db, you have to take that in to account as well. It can grow pretty fast. Note, I find the handbook suggested partition sizes to be a little out of date because of the current trend of increasing size of source and the ports tree, plus, /usr no longer seems to be the assumed location of user's home(login) directories any more. They now tend to go in /home. But, this tends to end up being a religious issue, so find what works for you and go with that and ignore all we soothsayers. jerry > > Thx > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Nikola, Thank you for your extender answer. I have two more comments. Did you consider /var as your email db partition. I really don’t know how big will be my mail db on freebsd, but after half of year I have about 4GB outlook mail db. So 1GB for /var might be not enough in my case. Having /home as part of /usr is the good point. But in case of backup it make sense to have /home as separate partition. What you think about this?

I can't give you a direct answer, but I was running 6-STABLE on an 8-way mac pro up until a couple of weeks ago (I had to give it back to it's owners and I'm waiting until after the next wwdc to buy my own...). I used bootcamp to partition a spare disk, then just booted from a freebsd cd and installed onto that partition. I ended up using refit as a boot doohickey (initially from an refit cd, eventually taking a chance on installing it onto the disk itself). There wasn't anything too surprising. g. Nope, it is the AMD64 architecture on apple intel xserve. Intel cloned it and called it Intel 64 and EM64T among other names. More vendor neutral names are x86-64 and x64. At any rate, many Linux distributions, and FreeBSD, release a version they call amd64 that runs on CPUs with this instruction set regardless of whether AMD or Intel created it. EFI support may be fine for amd64 xeon's but the elilo boot loader wouldn't work with amd64 until the latest beta. Even though the boot loader became capable in that beta, the Linux kernel wouldn't work with elilo on amd64 until 2.6.24-rc4. It may be fine with x86 xeons and it has always worked with ia64, just not amd64. I just don't know enough about FreeBSD to know if it or the bootloader(s) it uses have any of the same issues Linux does or not. Hopefully I'll get to go onsite soon and give it a try. Jason === Well I tried the amd64 version of FreeBSD 6.2 from the bootonly.iso and it didn't work either. Just like the Linux CDs, the xserve didn't even recognize it as bootable.

If tail has to write more than this amount, it breaks it up into mutliple writes of a maximum of 65536 characters each. The problem is that after the first 65536 characters, awk has exited, causing the next 65536 characters which tail attempts to write to cause a SIGPIPE. It seems to be working as intended, though. When piping, you have to be aware of these issues, but I do not think that it is a bug. There must be some boundary where tail splits the output into multiple writes. If, after the first write, a \n hasn't been encountered yet, awk will consider at least some portion of the next write (up until the first \n) to be the same line, at least until it hits its own limit. I have not checked to see what this limit might be. As for SIGPIPE, that's just how the POSIX standard works. The signal is sent to the writing process when it attempts to write to a broken or closed pipe, not when the pipe has closed. If you think that this behavior is bad, you might want to contact IEEE.

'tail' sent "blah1\nblah2\nblah3\n" to awk, awk printed until the first newline and exited. If I now write to test from another terminal: aleph:~$ echo "blah4" >> test Tail tries to write to the pipe, which it finds closed. It receives a SIGPIPE (tried to write to a pope with no reader--see man signal), and it terminates. The same behavior happens if I use a larger file. I see no inconsistent behavior, nor any bugs.

The inconsistency is in the fact, that the behavior depends on the size of the buffer and length of the lines (not the size of the file). If the 10 lines, which tail tries to output initially, exceed the size of the buffer, tail learns about awk going away immediately. If the lines are not long enough, it does not. Also, I would expect a program to be notified (by SIGPIPE?) /immediately/, when any of its output pipes are closed -- instead of waiting for it to try to write into the pipe.

I use XFS on a Gentoo Linux distribution for a MythTV box and it has performed well for me. I've lost power on several occasions and the filesystem has remained intact. However I recall reading somewhere that XFS is better tuned for large files (such as the TV recordings that are 2+ Gb each) so you may want to check that before settling.

Hi Mark and Norberto, Mark, what do you need to virtualize and what your requirements are? I think the question about virtualization is far too broad. For example, you mentioned quotas. I think you can bypass storage control problems, using seperate devices for each client filesystem. Just create n vnode md(4) devices for your n jails. This has another advantage besides partitioning storage. Since UFS supports sparse files, only used blocks will occupy storage space, thus you don't have to preallocate all storage.
