File a send-pr, this is obviously a bug with the port and the
port maintainer should correct it.  seg-faults happen when the
programmer makes a mistake in the code, the port manager should
have caught this and either corrected the bug or pursued it with
the developer of wput.  If a porter can't get a program to
build without segfaulting under FBSD and they cannot get help from
the developer, they should abandon the port.

In the meantime, try going to the site that the wput program is
hosted at and downloading the source, then compile it according
to the directions in the wput distribution, and see if it still
segfaults.

That is exactly why computer consulting firms (like the one that
partly owns the ISP I work for) exist.  There's a list of them
on the FreeBSD website that sell hardware.

For the poor sod trying to get 1 machine, he has a choice:

pay a trivial couple hundred bucks to a consulting firm that
sells PCs to small businesses to supply the system he needs for
his business

do it himself and deal with all of the research beforehand,
and all the post-support hassles with Dell or HP or whatever.


You see, the problem is that the small business/home office
types see these consumer-adverts in the backs of the newspaper
for a $299.99 Dell, and they immediately assume a computer is
a computer is a computer, and that they shouldn't have to pay
a consultant more than $50 to provide everything with all the
trimmings to them - because after all a consultant is going to
do is just pick up the phone and place the order, eh?

(frankly, the FBSD folk have it easy - this attitude is 10 times
worse in the Mickeysoft consulting business)

For the home user, his choice is either spending the $300 and
crossing his fingers and hope the thing works at all, or actually
approaching it from a professional point of view and doing what
the businesses are supposed to be doing - that is, hiring a
consultant that knows what they are doing, or spending the
same amount of time and money that a knowledgeable consultant
spent.

You think I got my knowledge for free?  I have a basement
full of old computer hardware I bought over the years while
I learned that says otherwise. Care for an $80 CGA card?
Now do you see why consultants go crazy with that "your
knowledge ain't worth anything" attitude?

As long as the FreeBSD community cops the attitude that FBSD is
only for do-it-yourselfers, it's going to be largely ignored by
most of the business community.

In any case, I can count the number of people who have posted
"I'm planning on getting a system that is going to run FreeBSD
what should I get" questions on the mailing list in the last
year on the fingers of 1 hand, I think, so I really tend to
discount this argument.

I'll repeat, the vast majority of people complaining about
hardware problems with FreeBSD are the folks who bought first,
THEN when something didn't work, came running to the mailing
list.  And the vast majority of them claim they cannot take
it back because it's past the UCC-manda

I understand it is waiting at a breakpoint in gdb.  What I meant was  
put printf's in your code and run the program and look at the  
output.  You can use fprintf's to stderr if your prefer and just  
look at the stderr output.


It is hard to diagnose what could be a compiler error, or a coding

It is also advisable to run lint over your source code too.


All that lint shows is it doesn't like comments using // and lots of  
errors in /usr/include files.

Samba listing same file twice and omitting others

[Rhomel Chinsio]

Hi Everyone,

I've got freebsd 7.0 RELEASE AMD64 running with samba and ZFS. Everything
seems to work, except samba is incorrectly reporting a small chunk of files.


For certain files, the file appears twice on a windows machine but reading
from both files yields the same file. For other files, it does not report
the file at all. But if you copy the same file again, it will ask you if you
want to replace the existing file. Additionally if you go onto the freebsd
box and do an ls on the files, they will appear correctly (missing ones show
up and duplicates do not).

I tried two different windows boxes (vista and windows xp sp2) and both
behave the same way. All permissions are set to 777 on all files.

Any idea if this is a samba bug?

Ok that actually does work, I did more tests and the modules causing

extension=mbstring.so
extension=mcrypt.so
both of them cause the Segfault(11) the nhash.so module is ok...

The problem with that advice is that it's extremely likely to result
in some ports getting linked against some libraries from 5 and some
from 6, which will probably result in them breaking.  It's a much
better idea to do everything at once in dependency order, before doing
any other kind of port upgrades (or adding new ports, for that matter).

Eventually, yes.  Make sure you do it before you add or update any of

If you can you should set it to AHCI which is a true native SATA mode
instead of IDE emulation.
AHCI is a true SATA hardware interface that exposes a fully featured
protocol stack (NCQ, hot-plug, staggered spin-up etc.).

Without it, you revert back to classical IDE over a SATA phy which doesn't
really slow down the physical connection but adds a lot of driver overhead,
i.e. by treating it as an IDE device, the driver performs a lot of
unnecessary I/O access such as having to select the drive even though its
point-to-point ("serial"), etc.

[slightly off topic] Users of tikiwiki (on this list), question about the editors

[Andrew Falanga]

Hi,

I'm looking at possibly using tikiwiki.  First off, does anyone here
use it?  Second, if so, is there a WYSIWYG editor for editing pages in
it?  I'm very curious to know about that.  I've used wiki's before and
for my church, I don't think many who would keep content on the site
would like to use syntax like:

+++ item 1
+++ item 2

etc.
(The above is from memory, it's been quite a while and I didn't use it
much.)  Are there management interfaces that present users with rich
text editors and they simply type what they want and the editor
translates it to wiki?

Thanks,
Andy

Sync or Soft Updates or gjournal for fileserver

[David Wassman]

All,

Here is the system specs:
OS: FreeBSD-amd64 7.0-Release
Processors: 2 Intel Xeon 5400 Quads
Storage: ~438 GB RAID 5 (LSI 85016E & 4 Seagate 15K Cheetahs)

My question is with this setup (Have not assembled or installed yet),
for a fileserver running Samba to share in mixed environment, what would
be better, sync, soft updates or gjournal. From my understanding, sync
is the most secure as far as data integrity but suffers from
performance. Soft Updates is a mix between the two but from reading
Lucas's Absolute FreeBSD, he says that it is best for drives under 80GB.
Gjournal sounds like the answer but it is new and from my understand
still considered experimental. As a file server, I would like to keep
snapshots for quick recovery of files but if I am not mistaken this
requires Soft Updates (I have additional backups, but I would like to
run them off snapshots to keep the system available). Does gjournal
support snapshots as well? Will Soft Updates work fine with this setup?
This is for a production environment (it is replacing a Windows 2000
fileserver), so would sync be the best bet to ensure data integrity over
the benefits of soft updates and gjournal? 

I have a fair amount of experience with FreeBSD (5+ years) and would
normally just use Soft Updates but with the size of the storage
involved, new features in 7, and both data integrity and performance
being a concern, I am just not sure which would be best here. 

Any advice would be helpful.

RE: interactive stop on boot

[David Wassman]

Jason,

If there isn't anything needed from the NFS mounts, you can add
intr,soft options to the /etc/fstab for each NFS share. Intr allows you
to interrupt the NFS process with CTRL-C. You may not be available to do
this, but you could call a user to do it. Soft allows the NFS client to
fail, instead of hang. 

Or you could just delete the entries or have them noauto.

Also, verify that the dump and pass# are set to zero. At least pass#, as
if it is any other number, the background fschk will try to run and hang
if not available (not ideal to run fschk on NFS mounts anyway)

Hope this helps.

Hi -- I'm running a "Tombstone" machine that's functioning as a
server.  The machine is located somewhere with a fast connection, and
not somewhere that I have easy access to.  As such, I want this
machine to do its best to boot up and get onto the network, no matter
what happens on boot, so that I have a chance to actually fix the
problem.

Lately when it boots it runs into an NFS mounting error, claiming that
some of my NFS-mounted drives have unexpected inconsistencies.  It
says "unexpected error - help!" and then quits to a /bin/sh
single-user-mode prompt.  As I am 10 miles away, this is decidedly
unhelpful.  I don't care if it can't mount some irrelevant drive or
not; I want it to boot up and ask me questions later.

Is there a way that I can set the machine to do its best to boot no
matter what it finds at boot time?  Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide,

- Jason

PS -- Boot messages not available, as the machine is down at the
moment and I can't get over there to type "   exit"
until later this afternoon.

In the long term it's a good idea to do it, but there's no hurry
unless you see a specific library problem. You could just install
misc/compat5x, wait a bit and then do a portupgrade -f '<2008-03-14'
when most ports have been updated anyway.

Thanks. I thought so about the size, just wondered whether there is anything
wrong with the geometry warning. I don't remember encountering it before.
Although I use FreeBSD since 2.x, my last sysinstall was many years ago.

(it says the drives have
476gb rather than 500gb).

Manufacturers like to make their disks look bigger by using 1000 instead 
of 1024 when scaling Kb to Gb so:


   476 Gb * 1024 * 1024   = 499122176K bytes

   500 "Gb" * 1000 * 1000 = 5K bytes

which is near as dammit the same.

it says true. 500 billion bytes which is about 465GB - standard marketing 
trick today.


it's all right



I can install with this AHCI setup, but have no idea what the implications
are. Is there a known fix for SATA/IDE? Or is AHCI better?

use AHCI if you can.

If you're sure there are no CPU specific flags set during apache compilation, 
you might want to get a core dump. Is apache the only program creating 
SIGILL?


I'm having a similar issue, ny dmesg is filled with

what could be the problem...


Well, first, signal 11 isn't signal 4, so the
problem isn't very *closely* related, but I'll
bite anyway.

That said, I've little idea what could be
causing your httpd to die with sig 11.  In
my experience, signal 11s are generally caused
by incompatible modules (*.so) loading along
with httpd during Apache startup.  PHP, in
particular, after a portupgrade.  Any resemblance
to your situation?

Virtualized FreeBSD

[Tech Valley Internet - Tony Kivits]

Hello All,

I am currently running CentOS on a bunch of virtualized guest os's 
but need to upgrade them.  I see that FreeBSD 7.0 is 
virtualized.  Given a choice, I would rather use FreeBSD because of 
the ease of use of keeping the ports current.


I am just wondering if anyone has used the virtualized FreeBSD in a 
producton environment and if so what are the pros and cons?


Thanks,

I had a similar problem. I fixed it my commenting out one of the
extensions listed in  /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
I forgot which one. I currently have three of them commented out:

#extension=mcrypt.so
#extension=mbstring.so
#extension=mhash.so

SATA problems (Abit IP35-Pro)

[Isaac Mushinsky]

I am setting up a new system with Abit IP35-Pro (ich9r), 2 WD SATA drives on
the controller. There is also a SATA DVDRW to boot from.
With the default SATA setup (SATA/IDE) the system cannot find any SATA
drive. I was able to boot the install disk, attaching an old IDE CDROM, but
still could not make it see the hard drive.

If I set SATA controller to AHCI, the system boots (although with some ACPI
errors), and I was able to install. However, fdisk thinks that the geometry
is "incorrect", and insists on a different one (it says the drives have
476gb rather than 500gb).

I can install with this AHCI setup, but have no idea what the implications
are. Is there a known fix for SATA/IDE? Or is AHCI better?

I've had the same problem yesterday solved it with

mv /var/db/portsnap /var/db/portsnap-old
portsnap fetch extract

If you're sure there are no CPU specific flags set during apache compilation, 
you might want to get a core dump. Is apache the only program creating 
SIGILL?

This seams to be be a partial account of /. 
Try 'du -x / | grep \[\ 0-9\]*M' instead or 'du -shx /.[^.]* /*'.

Re: interactive stop on boot

[Grant Peel]

Yeah, what CHris said.

Also, there is an option you can put in fstab to allow the automount, and 
background the NFS mounts ... so that if the mount fails the boot will 
continue. Again, as mentioned, this will only work if the OS and your 
connection method (ssh daemon?) are not dependant on the NFS mounts.


Here is what my fstab looks like. Note line 6 that specifies the "-t=10,-b" 
options (to timeout the mount after 10 seconds and to background the nfs 
mount).


# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options Dump

/dev/da0s1b noneswapsw  0   0

Depends on the whether or not the system needs something from the NFS 
mount at boot time. If it doesn't then you would do well to use amd  (man 
8 amd) to handle the mount. The short of is that amd automates  the 
process of mounting a filesystem by presenting a directory. When a 
process requests a file within that directory amd performs the mount.  Amd 
helps by deferring the mount until something actually needs  something 
from the remote filesystem.


Simpler still would be to change the mounts entry to noauto in /etc/ 
fstab. However then you or someone else will have to perform the mount 
when you need the filesystem.

Depends a bit on the user's defenition of 'data'. For some, 'data' includes 
apps like phpMyAdmin, for some it doesn't.
Anything installed by ports should remain in /usr/local. Self-respecting 
webservers support aliasing weblocations to physical directories, so in most 
cases it can be worked around.
In the event you need multiple installations of the same webapp, either use 
jails or don't use the ports to install them (and then also don't put them 
in /usr/local).

Re: 6.3 And VIA 8237S Controller - Also USB Drive Problem

[Tim Daneliuk]

Tim Daneliuk wrote:

I just bought a new MSI P4M900M2 mobo.  It works just fine with both
Windoze and SUSE Linux.  When I tried booting 6.2 on it, it refused to
set the drive (ad0 - I tried several different drives) into the
higher speed UDMA modes.  So, I downloaded 6.3, and it *seemed* to
be fine.  The drives come up as UDMA 100 or UDMA 133.

But ... under long disk operations - say untaring a 2G tarball
stored on a USB drive - I start to see this:

ad0: WARNING WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC ERROR



I have resolved this and thought I'd share with the class in case
anyone else runs into the problem.

It occurred to me that this chipset has been around long enough that
it was very likely not a driver problem. I went back and replaced the
IDE cable with another one known to be good and, voila', problem
solved.

What's weird about this is that the "bad" cable is a more-or-less new
low profile round IDE cable I got from Tiger Direct a while back. It
is the 20" variety which may be contributing noise to the problem.
Weirder still is that neither Linux nor Windows seemed to have
problems with it, though I did not test as thoroughly with those OSs.
I'd guess that the FBSD driver is perhaps trying to squeeze the last
bit of optimization out of the controller and thus drives the IDE bus
to its limits, hence the problem shows up there.  Either that,
or I just didn't pound on the machine hard enough with Linux
especially to see the problem.

I should have guessed "cable problem" right away, but given the
relative newness of the cable, that seemed unlikely.

In a related note: I also discovered that the FreeBSD install CD Fixit
environment does flakey things when you try to untar a large file from
a USB drive plugged in through an external hub. Plugging the drive
directly into one of the mobo ports made that problem go away.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[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

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

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.

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.

  2.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to

There's your problem. I don't see a libpthread or better on 7.x a libthr.so 
linked in:

libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x38b55000)

is what it shows on my 7.x system.

So the question is, why isn't qt built with thread support. I don't see how 
that's possible with the current ports makefile.
Do you have a file /lib/libthr.so*?

portupgrade -fa after system upgrade from 5.5 to 6.3

[bsd]

Hello,


I have updated from 5.5 to 6.3 and wanted to know if It advisable to  
make a :


# potupgrade -fa


Knowing that I have kept my port tree up to date and have no outdated  
ports.



Simply put, the question is: should I force recompile all my installed  
ports since I have updated my system?




Thanks for your answer.

Yep that was the problem, everytime I ran 'portsnap fetch update',
portsnap says the file is corrupted so I just emptied /usr/ports and
/var/db/portsnap and did 'portsnap fetch extract' and now it seems
fine...

Re: 16GB AMD Opteron-machine - AMD64 or PAE?

[Wojciech Puchar]

For one of my machines (HP C-class Blade, 2 * AMD Opteron, 16GB RAM)
should I go for the i386 or the amd64 Version of FreeBSD 7.0?


amd64 version was created exactly for x86-64 systems so why do you like to 
use another?





As far as I've seen kernel and system isn't a problem with the amd64
version, but how about ports?

To be specific here's what I'd like to install on this machine:

o) mrtg
o) cacti
o) nfsen
o) named (caching DNS only)
o) ntpd
o) TSM-client (Client for IBM Backup-System running in Linux emulation mode)

Does anybody have experience with any of these applications under the
amd64-Version of FreeBSD? Caveats any?


linux emulation runs fine, named, ntpd, mrtg runs ok too



Thanks in advance for any clue,

Depends on the whether or not the system needs something from the NFS  
mount at boot time. If it doesn't then you would do well to use amd  
(man 8 amd) to handle the mount. The short of is that amd automates  
the process of mounting a filesystem by presenting a directory. When a  
process requests a file within that directory amd performs the mount.  
Amd helps by deferring the mount until something actually needs  
something from the remote filesystem.


Simpler still would be to change the mounts entry to noauto in /etc/ 
fstab. However then you or someone else will have to perform the mount  
when you need the filesystem.

You probably want your NFS entries in fstab to have the "noauto" option, 
and you _definitely_ want the last two fields to be zeroes. Even if you 
_do_ want the NFS mounts to come up at boot I would still set them to be 
noauto and then write your own script to try to mount them later.

The bootup rc script is just a sh script, you can hack it to do whatever 
you want. That said, it only bails out if there's a (potentially) 
significant problem. Given that this is a remote machine, you should be 
extra-careful when modifying anything to do with the startup process, 
especially fstab or any firewall rules. You could also look at options 
like a serial console, IP KVM, or something like a LightsOut card for 
your system.

wget / wput

[Jim Pazarena]

I began using wput recently.

While wput completes a transfer, it always ends with a

Segmentation fault: 11

if the wput is forced to fail (with an incorrect password for instance) it 
issues
what appears to be a correct response:
 "login-Sequence failed .."
 "Transmission of 1 file failed."

but if the transfer completes as expected, Seg fault every time!

suggestions would be appreciated.  This is on FreeBSD 7.0 i386, however
I noticed the same error on 6.2 (and quit using wput for THAT reason).
Now I *would* like to use it, but this is disconcerting.

thanks,
Jim

That sector 0 lies outside of the slice block 0.   What you are
seeing is not an absolute disk offset, but the offset in to the slice.  

It is possible to create it otherwise but isn't done that
way by default.Nowdays, actually a whole track is held
out, instead of just sector 0 and that is where some of the
fancier MBRs such as GRUB get their extra space to work.
But, the standard FreeBSD MBR sticks to the official standard
of just one sector - which is why it is so plain vanilla.

interactive stop on boot

[Jason Barnes]

Hi -- I'm running a "Tombstone" machine that's functioning as a
server.  The machine is located somewhere with a fast connection, and
not somewhere that I have easy access to.  As such, I want this
machine to do its best to boot up and get onto the network, no matter
what happens on boot, so that I have a chance to actually fix the
problem.

Lately when it boots it runs into an NFS mounting error, claiming that
some of my NFS-mounted drives have unexpected inconsistencies.  It
says "unexpected error - help!" and then quits to a /bin/sh
single-user-mode prompt.  As I am 10 miles away, this is decidedly
unhelpful.  I don't care if it can't mount some irrelevant drive or
not; I want it to boot up and ask me questions later.

Is there a way that I can set the machine to do its best to boot no
matter what it finds at boot time?  Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide,

- Jason

PS -- Boot messages not available, as the machine is down at the
moment and I can't get over there to type "   exit"

Re: /usr/local/www a tradition?

On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 07:29:55PM -0600, Modulok wrote:


Is there a compelling reason for placing subversion and web-server
data in /usr/local and not somewhere else? I was thinking of keeping

/home/www and /home/svn and so forth.

Before I break convention, I just thought I'd see if placing said
files in /usr/local was just a tradition or if there was another
reason for it.


Break the convention!

Where apache or any other web server looks for its "home" is down to 
*your* apache config.  Different vhosts can look wherever they like for 
their own homes and you can put them wherever you like - no need for 
them to be in the same place at all.  So one vhost could look in 
/home/project1 and another in /home/project2/Web, for example.  You 
could keep the default server in /usr/local/www and then you get the 
files the port installs by default, but still control where *your* data 
goes.


I don't know how tied subversion is to it's home in /usr/local but I 
would hope "not at all".  /home/cvs has been the home of my CVS 
repositories for a long time and if I switched VCS I'd certainly want to 
follow a pattern like that (certainly for anything that follows a 
CVS-like model, which subversion does.  Something like Hg might be 
another matter, but then I'd be looking at putting repositories in 
project-specific locations).


I dislike the notion of putting project-specific data under /usr/local.  
Config files and the like are easy to control, but large trees should be 
able to live wherever I want them to live.


One can usually work around any issue that arise, and if you hit 
trouble, just mail back here :-)


--Alex

PS You said "demons" and I'd certainly draw a line between a demon like, 
say, postfix or bind which has a system-role and ones like apache, 
subversion or a database which have a project-role.  Not sure it's a 
very firm line though - plenty of grey area.  For me, if it's manageable 
with a simple CVSed config file or ten, then it can stay in /usr/local.  
If it breeds data, then it belongs somewhere else.

You probably won't break anything, but it is the convention for
FreeBSD structure.   see: man hier
Some things are easier to install when following the conventions
because you have to do less special-casing and modifying config files.

There may be some badly written utility out there that does not
properly check config files and just assumes things are in the
conventional places.I don't know of any and FreeBSD tries to
avoid this problem.   But, the time you find out is usually the
most inconvenient time.

So, you pays your money and you takes your chances.

Re: Using Install CD To Prepare Hard Disk

Does the "Post install configuration" not give you all the menus you 
want?  It doesn't matter whether you have anything installed or not - 
you can fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs from the sysinstall interfaces you 
know and love.  And you won't be prompted to install any packages 
because you're not on a scripted install pathway.


If you have bsdlabel and fdisk files which you are trying to replicate 
then the live filesystem and native tools may be easier, but if you want 
to play around with sizes etc. without resorting to a calculator then 
sysinstall has always done the business for me,

Thanks much for this explanation.  Books would be good, yes.  I guys
got to learn somehow.  Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
That's interesting that a broadcast may be sent to 0.0.0.0.  I knew
that 0.0.0.0 is equal to INADDR_ANY.  However, I thought it wasn't
possible to send to that address, only to bind to it locally for a
server application.

That is the easiest way that I know.

I think you can get past the disk build and just turn off all
the stuff to install, but doing fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs is
really quite easy and less trouble.

In my experience, when I moved from 6.2 to 7.0 I had to recompile portupgrade 
at hand first. To do this you need to recompile portupgrade and all his 
dependencies by doing 'make install clean' in each one. Yes, ruby is one of 
the portupgrade dependencies... And after, with a fresh portupgrade compiled 
in the new 7.0 environment, I've done portupgrade -fa.

Hmmm...

Have you read the FreeBSD handbook?  It has realms of good advice covering
all aspects of managing FreeBSD machines -- including updating software,
network configuration and quite a lot of example command lines for routine
operations -- and it is all presented in nice clear English accessible to
complete beginners with the OS.

It's online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

If you have any questions arising from what you learn from the handbook,
then please feel free to ask again here.  For best results please tell us
as much as you can about the specifics of what you are trying to do: we
are neither omniscient nor telepathic, and unless we have some more detailed
information we won't be able to provide you any sensible or meaningful answers.
At least tell us what antivirus software,  what versions of spam assassin, what
MTA you're using (including version numbers). Also, a subject line of 'help'
really is not helping yourself at all.  Many readers of this list will skip
over your e-mail unread because of it.  Something like 'how do I update my
mail server?' would have been a better choice.

I can't help you with this, but I'm thinking you'll have a higher
chance getting an answer on some DRI/DRM mailinglist. You could also
ask the port maintainers (x11@). Some of them are also active
developers on DRI, and the r300 driver, or at least used to be in the
past.

in my testing environemnt I've tryied binary upgrade from 6.3-RELEASE -> 
7-RELEASE by following Colin Percival's article at 
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html

I am stuck at the step "portupgrade -f ruby":

It sounds like you are using the wrong terminal type.

Is this a console-based session of VIM?  Is it under X11?

What is your TERM value?

bsdlabel offset

[Tektonaut]

Hi,

following bsdllabel output caught my attention:

#sizeoffsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
 a:  2097152 04.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 
 b:  4194304   2097152  swap
 c: 3125766420unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
 d: 33554432   62914564.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 
...


I created this disk with sade or sysinstall. What I'm not sure
about is that partition 'a' has an offset of 0. With an 8k big
/boot/boot I would guess offset should be 16block large.

But since the disk is booting, some boot1 loader ist located at
sector 0 (from the beginning of this slice). How is it assured,
that the first block will never be overwritten? Where is boot1
located, where boot2?

Comparing the first sector with boot and boot1 differs already
at the first char. (and there were no updates so far)


Little bemused regards,
Adam

about mount mfs root on amd64

[Luke Jee]

Hi, guys,
   I want to make a minimal freebsd boot disc on i386 and amd64.
   I had created some folders and copyed somy files, include / 
boot/cdboot, /boot/kernel, etc  and then i made a mfs root file  
image, then copy /sbin/init to it, and make a iso for boot.
  it works on i386, mount root from md is ok, but when i test on  
amd64 system, after mount root from md, system hang and no more  
messsages display, so i reboot with boot -v, then see start_init: / 
sbin/init after mount root from md,


  how can i solve it?

  sorry about my poor english.

 Thanks

freebsd-update moving from GENERIC to SMP

[bsd]

Hello,


I have updated my server yesterday from 5.5 to 6.3 using the cvsup  
classical method.

Everything went fine but I forgot to deploy an SMP kernel :-(

Is there a way to deploy a 6.3 SMP using freebsd-update method (which  
is fantastic).



Thanks for your answer.

Well, here's the weird part.
Are you missing part of your ports tree? Like /usr/ports/x11/libX11?

Never seen this, but the only thing consistent throughout installations is 
the .viminfo file, so maybe delete that?

I think you mixed some threading libraries. That string or variants of it, is

Any of that relevant for you? like entries in libmap?



I read the thread and checked my libmap.conf. There's none of the 
entries mentioned in the post.


I'd like to add that my system is an upgraded 7.0 - release from 6.2.
I made pkg_delete -a because I had a problem with libcrypt that I 
couldn't fix.


I'll appreciate any hint.

Re: Noatun and Kaboodle Skips

[panix panix]

Hi,
Sorry for the cross posting, but i found the original
msg in -questions while the appropriate list i think
would be -multimedia.

I have the exact symptoms with E. J. Cerejo.
One can easily abandon noatun, kaboodle and run any
other player around (anything else i tried seem to
work fine, totem, amarok,mpg123,mpg321,etc...), but
noatun is the default player, and any non technical
users (children/wifes) using FreeBSD home machines
face problems playing sound thus creating a negative
feeling about the system.

Here is my bug report from kde.org, notice how the
problem can be twicked around when running both
noatun, kaboodle at the same time.

From memory, isn't it also possible to do this by going into the Configuration

Re: 6.3 And VIA 8237S Controller

[Tim Daneliuk]

Tim Daneliuk wrote:

One point of clarification I neglected to mention in the 
description below.  I have not actually installed FreeBSD

on the disk.  I paritioned/labeled the disk with the install
disk, then rebooted the install disk, went into the Fixit
environment and manually mounted ad0x under the various 
/mnt directories.  I then insert the USB drive into the

system that has a full image of FreeBSD from another machine
on it, stored in a tarball, and mount it under /mnt/mnt.
I then start to untar it (to load that image onto my
newly labeled disk), and that's when I see the errors.
The OS running at that time is the FreeBSD 6.3 Fixit
environment.



I just bought a new MSI P4M900M2 mobo.  It works just fine with both
Windoze and SUSE Linux.  When I tried booting 6.2 on it, it refused to
set the drive (ad0 - I tried several different drives) into the
higher speed UDMA modes.  So, I downloaded 6.3, and it *seemed* to
be fine.  The drives come up as UDMA 100 or UDMA 133.

But ... under long disk operations - say untaring a 2G tarball
stored on a USB drive - I start to see this:

ad0: WARNING WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC ERROR

And eventually:

ad0: FAILURE WRITE_DMA Status=51  Error=84

g_vfs_done():ad0s1f ...


What's going on here? Is there a known driver problem with the VIA
chipsets?  I took the two drives I tried this with, and stuck them
in another machine - no problem, so I kind of doubt this is a drive
problem.  I have replaced the IDE cables as well.  Again, this same
mobo and drive combo worked flawlessly doing the same thing under SUSE
Linux, so I'm thinking this is a software problem.

Any help much appreciated...
