Maybe there have some characters not in Big-5 range.

the devils operating system can only be removed if you drill with a 
6.6mm drill a hole 66.6 mm from top and 66.6mm from left through the 
drive from the top measured from the top left corner.


But I also wonder why Windows' fdisk does not allow you to remove the 
partition and then create a new Windows partition. If you simply add to 
the currently installed FreeBSD partition, you will not get very far.


It might be of interest what kind of data are stored there. Has NSA a 
copy of it?

The following assumes the drive is /dev/ad0 (the OS name for it) and
it is modern enough to not get confused by a low level format... boot
in single user mode (item 4 on the menu) and at the command line do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=512 count=1

This will clear the MBR partition table and make the machine think it
is a brand new drive.



I reckon he's smart enough to find the freebsd list and smart enough to 
ask the right question, so he's smart enough to appreciate FreeBSD. So 
he should leave it on there :P


Still in case previous attempts at formatting have removed the OS he 
could try Darik's Boot and Nuke floppy/usb/cd http://dban.sourceforge.net/.

Ensure that the jumpers are set correctly and or is in the proper
cable pattern (if using CS) if you intend on using it as a slave for
Windows (XP I assume) Once that is done, WindowsXP has no issues seeing
the drive but must be formatted. 

Here again, WindowsXP (assuming) can and will reformat a drive that has
been used by FreeBSD.

mpd with a dual pppoe setup

2008-02-01 Thread Reinhold
Hi,

I'm building a new router/firewall for my work, I have installed freebsd7
and updated it and compiled pf into the kernel and installed mpd5 for
pppoe. Before I make this system life I would like your input on my mpd
settings.

We have 2 adsl lines and I want to use the new firewall to do load
balancing between them. I've been searching all over the net to find out
more about how I can use mpd for this but all I can find is single pppoe
or mlppp conections, our isp does not support mlppp so thats not an
option. PF will be used for the load balancing and I want to use ancors
for when one of the dsl lines goes down.

For now I have only configured mpd but I'm not sure if its done corectly,
I can't test it because that will mean that I will have to take our
current system off line and that is not an option.

Here is what I've done so far.

Sooner or later. this messages will be followed by something along the  
line of

ad6: WRITE_DMA failed

and you'll get READ_DMA failures as well.

As others have suggested, do not trust this drive.
You may command
atacontrol mode ad6 pio
or put
hw.ata.ata_dma=0
in loader.conf.

The errors will disappear. Use this if you can't backup because the reads  
fail.

Worked for me. YMMV.

I've installed the port, and started the daemon. We'll see what tomorrow  
brings.


Even if smart does not find anything -- use the drive for junk purposes at  
max.

1. Use the port/package.
2. Every now and then I see messages fly by in which you can find
   exactly which flags/options to use.
3. You are right, there should be documentation...

Squid3.0 missing something with pf transparent proxy.

2008-02-01 Thread eculp
I haven't been using squid since version 2.5.  I just built a new 3.0  
and did a very basic configuration that works fine configuring the  
prefs -> advanced -> network and adding the host and port but when I  
use the pf redirect it seems to not get the url parsing right for some  
reason.  I put http://www.google.com and see
1201906217.304  0 172.16.0.14 NONE/400 1809 GET /google.com/ -  
NONE/- text/html
1201906217.466  0 172.16.0.14 NONE/400 1809 GET /favicon.ico -  
NONE/- text/html

1
in the squid access.log rather than http:://www.google.com.and the  
screen shows:

http://encontacto.net/transSquid3.0.png

The pf redirect, etc is working fine, /dev/pf has squid as the group  
with rw perms, I have no idea where to look.  I've got the idea that I  
must have missed something in the 3.0 configuration.


Does anyone have it working and could you give me a hint or maybe  
share your squid.conf that works, just the diffs from the  
squid.conf.dist.


Thanks,

The disk is failing. Smartmontools, which is a great package, will only
tell you want you already know, that the disk is failing. I would copy
every thing important off that disk _NOW_ then go and get a replacement
disk TODAY. It's possible that the disk may spin for another 2 months or it
might burst into flames in the next 20 minutes. Either way the disk is
telling you, "I'm sick". 

Also, what ever you do, do not power down that machine until you have
copied off the data. When you power cycle machines with disk in this state
there is a very good chance the disk will not spin back up.

I see this all the time at my job. 


Good Luck

I've not done this, but the documentation says:

Note: If the /etc/rc.conf is set up with the line ifconfig_ath0="DHCP"
then it is no need to run the dhclient command manually, dhclient will
be launched after wpa_supplicant plumbs the keys.

As such, I don't understand why you're running the ifconfig command
in /etc/rc.conf with the extra WPA flag.

Try making it  read ifconfig_ral0="DHCP" and see if that helps.

wpa_supplicant not starting with /etc/rc.d/netif

2008-02-01 Thread Reinis Ivanovs
Hello,

I have been following these instructions from the manual:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS-WPA-WPA-PSK
However, in the step that requires me to run "/etc/rc.d/netif start",
instead of it starting wpa_supplicant, I see only "ral0: no
link giving up". I've added
"ifconfig_ral0="WPA DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf, and it works just fine if I
start it manually with "wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
-i ral0". What should I do to get it working? Could it be that there's
some bug in your scripts?

Regards,
Reinis

You could also run the following command immediatly, without having
to wait for the daemon to collect data:

  # smartctl -a /dev/ad6

and consider running a long test as well:

  # smartctl -t long /dev/ad6

followed by another "smartctl -a /dev/ad6" again once the
test completes (the drive will tell you how long it takes,
expect something like 30 to 45 minutes or so, depending on
the size and speed of the drive).

smartmontools gets error info from DRIVE directly, so it's easy to know if

I recommend you _not_ trust that system.  In my experience, systems with
weird errors like this can suddenly lose your data for no reason.

Not so much write *errors* as write *problems*.
What seems to have happened is that some write requests do not finish
fast enough so the ATA driver gets a timeout, but retries the operation
and it works on the second try.  (If it hadn't worked on the second try
either then there should have been much scarier messages in the log.)


It might be because of a disk going bad where the disk has to do remapping
of bad blocks when it detects write problems which take extra time, causing
timeouts.

It might be because of sub-standard cabling which cause errors (but then
there ought to have been problems with reading as well as writing.)

It might be because FreeBSD's ATA driver uses a timeout value which is a bit
too aggressive (too low) for your controller/disk combination.


You could changing the disk for another.  If you get similar messages with
the other disk too, then it is probably not the disk which is at fault.

Looks like a failing disk to me.

Depending on the importance of the data on that drive, make sure you're
getting backups and get a new drive on order.

If it's always done this, it could also be faulty or non-standard hardware
(such as the SATA controller).

buildworld releng7 exterme performance loss

2008-02-01 Thread Frank Staals
Every 2 weeks or so I rebuild my sources on my laptop ( Dell Latitude 
D630 ). Last wednesday I wanted to update my system again since it was 
allready a couple of weeks ago I rebuilded my sources. There were no 
abnormalities during the build/install. But when I restarted my system 
the system performance was absolutely *horrible*. When I try typing 
anything in a terminal window the lag is about 20 seconds before the 
command even shows up. Switching ttys takes at least as long. When 
logging in remotely the performance is better; giving a random command 
through the ssh session sometimes even allows a command run on a 
local-console to run/finish ( or at least thats what the screen shows ).


Even trying to shutdown the system using shutdown -p now doesn't have 
any effect: I get the message "System is going down NOW" but nothing 
realy happens, I just get my prompt back and I can continue entering 
commands. When I push the power-off button the system actually starts 
shutting down but it stops at "Writing entropy file ."  leaving my only 
choise to power off the system the hard way. When booting the system to 
single-user mode however it reacts normally and also shutting down works 
as it should


Last 2 days I tried redownloading the sources from a different mirror ( 
cvsup2.freebsd.org instead of cvsup.nl.freebsd.org ) to rule out 
outdated/corrupted sources. But I still get the same  behaviour. Gladly 
I still had my previous sources so I managed to restore my system in a 
working state. Those sources are from about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone 
know what could have caused this behaviour and how to fix it ? Below is 
some system information, however I'm not sure what I should provide to 
help out, if I should test something I'll gladly do.

I've had really good luck with Thinkpads.  Because they're among the best
laptops available, open source developers tend to focus on supporting
them faster than a lot of other laptops.  It's the best of both worlds.

Also . . . Lenovo is selling some Thinkpad models with SuSE Linux
installed.  Those are likely to be better supported by FreeBSD than other
models, I would imagine.

Aside from that, I think the FreeBSD Laptop Compatibility List brought up
by others should be useful:

This is the copied relevant portions of demsg's output. I have only used

So, how do I get the system to recognize the drives as SATA ?
 

I think you are placing a lot of faith in an error message and that your 
drives *may* be being recognised as SATA drives with just something 
spurious (in the driver) causing this message to appear.  It looks like 
the same chipset is providing both IDE/UDMA and SATA, so maybe the 
driver is trying them as IDE first, producing the error messages, then 
finding they are SATA after all.  Just a guess


Have you tried any basic disk benchmarks?  Even a diskinfo -t should 
show you the kind of throughput your are getting, or something like


dd bs=64k if=/dev/zero of=/some/file/on/the/disk count=1

That takes ~10 secs on my machine.  If your performance is better than 
UDMA33 then you could just ignore the message or file an informational 
PR (if there isn't one already).  Don't forget to be careful about 
bits/sec versus bytes/sec  UDMA 33 is 33MB/s which is 33*1000*1000 bytes 
but 8 times as many bits, which some applications report.


Having failed to get a definitive answer here you could also try the 
driver maintainer whom I believe to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Confirm that 
from the manpage and don't forget to mention the version of FreeBSD you 
have (6.3?)  See also this thread:


http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01706.html

hth,

--Alex

On a random SATA150 disk I get ~60017191 bytes/sec for a dd, which ~= 
6 kbytes/sec from diskinfo and ~= 60MB/s or twice UDMA33.  I believe 
that to be about par for a modern SATA disk.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

2008-02-01 Thread Greg Lehey

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   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.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

2008-02-01 Thread Greg Lehey
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?
Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be
able to help

I don't know what you entered to get the first message.  You don't say.

But, on the second, /etc/rc.conf is NOT an executable file.
It is a data file that other programs and scripts read to set
variables for their operations.   You might need to edit /etc/rc.conf
(with vi or emacs or some other editor) to change variable settings, 
but you would not execute it.

Where are you getting your information about starting quotas?
Which steps have you actually tried?

Nice tip, thanks for that.

But there is between an uuencoded /body/ and an attachment.

At the risk of this degrading into a mail useragent battle: kmail didn't give 
an option to uudecode the body.

So the hostname isn't set, the clue would be that machine presents itself 
as "amnesia".
Check /etc/rc.conf so see if you set a hostname or if you use DHCP, check if 
the dhcp server gives you one.

How this got lost in the upgrade, I don't know. mergemaster doesn't 
touch /etc/rc.conf, only /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

When libbz2 was brought into the base system, don't recall when exactly, 
somewhere around 5.0 I guess. tgz use gzip compression, tbz use bzip2 
compression, which generally compresses better, but uses more CPU-time.

FreeBSD can still read both though, it's just a change of default.

strange panic: freebsd 6.3: ffs_alloccg: map corrupted

2008-02-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mgEDV.net

hi folks,

during copying ~350GB from one volume to another on
the local machine (separate disks, separate fs's) i
get the following panic:

start = 0, len = 23691, fs = /newdata
panic: ffs_alloccg: map corrupted
KDB: enter: panic
[ thread pid 835 tid 10070 ]
stopped at kdb_enter +0x2c:  leave

the destination filesystem i created from scratch
today, and the other which is read from is fsck'd.

because of privacy/security considerations, i cannot
really post the whole configuration of the machine
(like fs-layout, other details, dmesg will be ok if
needed).

the backtrace can be viewed on this image:
http://www.mgedv.at/panic_ffs_alloccg.png

any ideas how to react on this?

cheers...

  23.4.9 Reboot into Single User Mode

  You should reboot into single user mode to test the new kernel works. Do
  this by following the instructions in Section 23.4.5

/usr/src/UPDATING  (which contains the really official instructions for how
to upgrade) also tells you to reboot.

Just going into single user mode without rebooting is not very useful.
The section of the handbook you quote below should probably be rewritten
somewhat.

yeah, in the mean time, i exactly did this.
loaded /usr/src/sys, compiled with options KDB, options DDB

Building kernel with DEBUG

2008-02-01 Thread Gerard
Near the top of the /usr/src/sys/i386/GENERIC file, is the line:

makeoptions DEBUG=-g  # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols

Is this line really necessary? If I don't intend to ever debug a
kernel, why should I leave it? It would seem like I could
save some time compiling a kernel if I just remove or commented out
that line.

From:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

23.4.5 Drop to Single User Mode

You may want to compile the system in single user mode. Apart from the
obvious benefit of making things go slightly faster, reinstalling the
system will touch a lot of important system files, all the standard
system binaries, libraries, include files and so on. Changing these on
a running system (particularly if you have active users on the system
at the time) is asking for trouble.

Another method is to compile the system in multi-user mode, and then
drop into single user mode for the installation. If you would like to
do it this way, simply hold off on the following steps until the build
has completed. You can postpone dropping to single user mode until you
have to installkernel or installworld.

As the superuser, you can execute:
# shutdown now

from a running system, which will drop it to single user mode.

Going to single user mode is the less important part of rebooting.
The other part is that after the reboot you will be running the *new* kernel
which might possibly be needed for a successful installworld.  It is also a
good test that the new kernel actually work.  If the new kernel should fail
to work it is fairly easy to use the old kernel instead.  If you have
already overwritten all userland programs with ones which require the new
(non-working) kernel it can be difficult to recover from.

Just going to single user mode without rebooting misses the point.
The important thing is not to go into single user mode, it is to *reboot*
into single user mode (or even into multi-user mode if you want to, but
there are fewer things that can go wrong when going to single user mode.)

Re: Panics with GEOM

2008-02-01 Thread Wojciech Puchar

advise where to post if this is not appropriate.

An amd64/SMP server of mine worked quite reliably for some times.
Now I added two more disks and created a gmirror with them; from that point 
on it experienced locks, crash and panics.


i use amd64/SMP+gmirror+gstripe+geli and works stable for a long time.
problem is probably somewhere else

Since it was a 6.2 at the time, I immediately upgraded to 6.3: this did not 
solve, but, at least, the box would reboot and get me a crash dump.


So here it is: looks like the i/o subsystem has problems, so the two disk 
might really be related, but still, I'm not sure.

e.g.

ee /etc/fstab

Not wise. New features and fixes are applied to configuration files and

> STABLE is the security fix branch.

Wrong. According to the handbook:

23.2.2.1 What Is FreeBSD-STABLE?
FreeBSD-STABLE is our development branch from which major releases are 
made. Changes go into this branch at a different pace, and with the general
assumption that they have first gone into FreeBSD-CURRENT for testing. This 
is still a development branch, however, and this means that at any given 
time, the sources for FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for any 
particular purpose. It is simply another engineering development track, not 
a resource for end-users.

RELENG_6 is STABLE
RELENG_6_3 is for security fixes

You can just type: "shutdown now" to go into single user mode. It
avoids the reboot sequence.

I prefer to use the following after "make installworld"

mergemaster -i -v -U

Read the man pages for mergemaster for further details.

> # shutdown -r now

After rebooting, you might want to cd to the /usr/src directory and
run:"make delete-old-libs" to clear out any garbage. It is not
actually required however.

Have you tried "kldload snd_driver"?  The instructions in the Handbook
section 7.2.1 usually work for me.

is there a way to avoid the auto-reboot?

is there a way to save the panic to disk?

btw, there's no swap partition i could use as dump device.

cheers...
  
I recently had a system that would not dump to the swap partition for 
one reason or the other.

I used an external USB hard disk, and it dumped there with no problems.
With the current sizes of cheap usb flash drives, even that is probably 
an option.

You may wish to explore this solution.
