getpriority() in /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c lines 88 cont.
rtprio() should be around there, too, /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.master

I hope this is what you've been asking for. :-)

getpriority(2) and rtprio(2) implementation

[Unga]

Hi all

I need to study the implementation of getpriority(2) and rtprio(2) system 
calls. Appreciate if somebody could point me to where these system calls are 
implemented in FreeBSD source tree, that is, in which file/s.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Hi Forrest,

I hacked around with this for a little while this evening and managed to
get it compiled and installed.  After I started the mgr executable, I
saw the splash screen, and then the desktop appeared with a mouse
pointer on it.  Unfortunately, the mouse wouldn't move, and I couldn't
do anything else with the desktop.

It's possible that I didn't select the correct mouse configuration
during the build process.  Also /dev/mouse didn't exist, so I tried
symlinking it to /dev/sysmouse one time and /dev/cuad0 the second time.

There's some potential for getting a port together for MGR, assuming the
mouse problem can be resolved.  If you have any ideas about that, let me
know.  The MGR documentation states that it worked on FreeBSD 3.0 or
some quite old version.  FYI, I was testing this in a VMware virtual
machine running FreeBSD 7.0, in case it matters.

Regards,
Greg Larkin

I just installed WN3  If I used your cmd and grepped for "Overview"
that would tell me that foot is both n. and v.   

Any thoughts howto get every entry they've got?

interesting, this gives me just what i want for "foot" :-D 


 wn foot -over |grep Overview |awk '{printf("%s, %s\n", $4, $3);}'

thanks,

wdfs vs sshfs vs the perfect fs

[Kelly Jones]

I recently installed wdfs and sshfs on my FreeBSD server + mounted a
filesystem under each.

"df -k" and "tail -r" work great under sshfs.

"df -k" doesn't work under wdfs (always shows 100% usage) and "tail
-r" just hangs.

sshfs also seems a little faster. Is all this normal?

I figured webdav would handle "tail -r" better using HTTP's "Range"
parameter, but I guess not. How does sshfs get to the end of a file so
fast w/o doing a sequential read?

What's the best way to mount a remote disk assuming I don't have root
access on the target server? sshfs? wdfs? something else?

I assume 'mount' is best if I do have root access.

Specially interested in "random access" files like DBMs or
MySQL/PostgreSQL files.

Reason I ask: many hosting providers offer insane amounts of disk
space for next to nothing, but they limit what you can do. By mounting
the large disk, I can add virtual space to my more expensive dedicated
server. It's slow, but useful when disk access speed is not an issue.

GIANT_LOCK in release7.0

[Alexander K. Beros]

I have not been able to find any discussion of the following issue.  Ever
since I upgraded to release 7.0, whenever I print to my network printer (I
am using Samba) I get the following output to ttyv0:

lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
lpt0: [ITHREAD]

... this can continue for a very long time depending on the size of the
queue

The actual printing is fine, and since I am rarely at the terminal it isn't
a serious problem.  In fact, if I am working at the server and someone else
is sending jobs to the printer I switch over to ttyv1, so there is really no
inconvenience.

On the other hand, I thought that release 7 is GIANT_LOCK free, so this is
rather unexpected.  I would appreciate any information or explanation.

In the printout below, you will note SMALLKERNEL7, this is just a paring
down of the generic kernel to tailor it to my system.  The behaviour I
discuss above occurs with the default kernel as well.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Alex Beros

CVSup the system and ports trees and transfer it to your system(s).  Or,
better, replicate the entire CVS repository to a removable disk and
cvsup the system and ports (you'll need the port net/cvsup-without-gui)
from that disk via local cvsupd daemon.

Then rebuild the system in a usual way (cd /usr/src; make buildworld;
make kernel; [possibly reboot to single user]; mergemaster -p; make
installworld; mergemaster; reboot).  Note that this can be painful,
especially for the first time ;))  Always read /usr/src/UPDATING and
be careful.

And use ports-mgmt/portupgrade to update all your ports.  Perhaps
the sources for some ports should be fetched manually, becase there
are some ports with all distribution sites being the FTP ones.

From that error message I'd say you probably need to populate
/usr/local/i386-linux/include with glibc and linux kernel headers.

installation CD's will be the same ones distributed with 7.1 RELEASE?  Or
will the ports remain a moving target until RELEASE?

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: gcc cross-compiler for linux

[Xavier Otazu]

Lowell,

Thanks a lot for this link. Now I see that I need to use the
cross-gcc compiler.

I am using Matlab inside the linux emulator, and I nedd to create some
"mex" files from matlab. In order to create these mes files, matlab
needs access to a gcc compiler that produces linux elf files. I think I
cannot use the gentoo-stage3 port, because in order to use I would need
to chroot and it is not so easy from matlab. Also, when using this
compiler I should be able to acces to the "linux"-matlab header files,
but if I "chroot" to the gentoo port I won't be able to access them.

I tried to install the devel/cross-gcc port, but I get errors when
compiling it.

I have some doubts about the wiki link you sent me:

1) What really means "null-mount the home directory"? I google-d some
info, but I didn't find good information. What really exactly means
"corresponding entries in the passwd and shadow files are required
then"?

2) What really means "All you have to do is to compile the ports and
add includes and libs from the linux system your target in your
development"? Do I have to include the linux headers during
devel/cross-gcc port building? Or do I have to include them when
cross-compiling my code?

What options do I have to use when building the linux gcc
cross-compiler? I use 

make TGTARCH=i386 TGTABI=linux install clean

Thanks a lot for your help

Cheers

Xavier

Correct, and let me also add that the above setting is the default one,
so unless you edited the file yourself (highly unlikely) you are already
getting the sources when using freebsd-update.

Yep, it looks like the config(8) code to handle that has been gone for a
while.  At a quick glance, I can't figure out where the dump device is
chosen, but it's supposedly iterating through devices looking for
something that would work.  Sticking in a device closer to the top of
the search order might help.  I suppose it's possible that just sticking
in an appropriately formatted USB disk might help.

Enabling minidumps would let you get away with a smaller space for
storing the dump, which would be useful if you have some space to throw
at it.  Alternatively, in the same spot I would be tempted to build a
separate disk just for debugging this particular problem, making sure to
leave space for a swap partition close to the front.

Using DDB might be an option, but I suspect that if you're having
trouble getting a dump, you'll have problems dropping to a live debugger
as well.

All of my above advice is a bit shot-in-the-dark; if no one else
suggests anything better, you may want to go to the freebsd-hackers
list, or look at the cvs logs for whoever's modified the dump code in
the last year or so.

Good luck.

Re: Problem about ppp -nat

[Pongthep Kulkrisada]

Hi all,

Firstly many thanks to all your help! And sorry for late reply...

>  > With these settings, My FBSD host can NOT even dial out to ISP. :-(
>  > Please anybody tell me, what I do wrong here.
> 
>  > At this time I must go back to the original setting in order to dial ISP.
>  > And lastly I'm sorry for long questions.
I didn't touch /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, which has been working for 5 years since 
FBSD5.0R. Even if I go back to GENERIC kernel. I could not dial out to ISP in 
any ways. I didn't know what I do wrong even if I did read many docs. Yesterday 
I decided to re-install FBSD7.0R from CDs again. That causes late reply, I'm 
sorry. :-(

I now have gateway_enable="YES" and firewall_enable="YES" in my /etc/rc.conf.
I can then dial ISP again. Then the following steps were taken.

1. I can ping any sites and very fast.
2. # kldload ipfw (as I don't want to compile kernel anymore.)
3. # kldload ipdivert
4. I also have ``natd8668/divert'' in my /etc/services.
5. # natd -interface tun0
6. # /sbin/ipfw add 101 divert natd all from any to any via tun0
7. # /sbin/ipfw add 102 pass all from any to any
(Note that my first ipfw rule is 100 check-state. So steps 6 and 7 should be 
considered as the first two filtering rules.)

I do this way because I know from reading document that ppp must be run before 
natd. I always want to dial ppp by myself so I can't put natd in /etc/rc.conf. 
And doing it interactively is very easy to detect when something goes wrong and 
step 1 can proof my good connection.
After step 7 I switched to terminal, which keeping ping. I found that ping 
stalled. I tried re-connect many times, now I know that step 3 causes the 
problem. I have also tried putting ipfw_load="YES" and ipdivert_load="YES" in 
/boot/loader.conf. The problem persists. I'm quite sure that the module 
ipdivert has adverse effect to the connection through modem. Should I say a 
bug?!!! Without ipdivert I can not play NAT (I don't want to learn ``ipfw nat'' 
and ``ppp -nat'' for now). This was also the major problem when I recompiled 
kernel with options IPDIVERT few days ago. That caused me unable to connect 
ISP. One thing I should note here, always run ppp before natd. Last time when I 
was on GENERIC kernel, I couldn't connect ISP because my /etc/rc.conf contained 
natd. So natd ran before ppp, which was run manually. That was wrong.
Anyone has a clue please point me to the right direction.
I would probably go back to external router gateway ``out of the box''.
For now I give up and need to rest.

Thank you.
Pongthep

Re: 7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology

[bsd]

Hello,


I think you all deserve a clear information about what has been going  
on today.


After the update of all servers to P-6 - the server could not be  
booted normaly - in fact they did boot but after that they didn't get  
back with the prompt… So I ended up in a "dead end".


As I was working last weeks with the engineers that helped me setup  
the hardware (and as Intel didn't have a right guideline specifying  
that TCP ports needed to be opened) - I have ended up mofidying a  
little parameter in /boot/loader.conf that was aimed to redirect the  
console to "vidconsole" & "comconsole".


This little parameter seems to have caused a conflict with the KVM of  
intel which probably uses the same redirect or blocked us from  
receiving the output (even from ssh).



It took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on as I  
suspected other problems to have happened. This has all the symptoms  
of a system freeze, but services were launched (at least some of them)…


I have found the solution by booting using a low level prompt that has  
allowed me to pass the parameter "set console=comconsole" and all went  
back to normal.




Quite firghtening, but finaly armless.

Hello I have updated my server (Intel Modular server) using the

And I am now facing very weired issues only on amd64 servers I am  
maintaining.
Servers boots and then freezes when It launch "ipfilter". This is  
not a low level freeze, simply all access to the server are disabled.


- Single user boot does not work.
- SSH access does not work either.


These servers were working perfectly before this update…

What would you suggest to get out of this situation…

1. Rollback to the 7.0-RELEASE-p5 which was stable and worked well.
--> If so how can I access the server knowing that single user mode  
does not work?
--> Can you describe me the stages I would have to go through - I am  
not very used to this kind of situations.


2. Deactivate ipfilter (is there a way to do that at boot time  
without editing /etc/rc.conf ) ?


3. Deactivate all services at boot time (is there a way of bypassing  
at boot time the rc.conf file) ?

mysqld_multi missing after mysql50-server install

[Valentin Bud]

Hello list,

 I have just installed mysql50-server from ports. I need to start
2 instances of mysqld. I have searched on dev.mysql.com how can I
accomplish that and there are 2 methods either using mysqld_multi
or mysqlmanager. After reading a little on mysql.com i decided i want
to go on mysqld_multi way because mysqlmanager will be removed in
6.0 and i want to use this 2 instances quite some time from now on.

 The only problem is that i couldn't find neither of them (mysqld_multi
or mysqlmanager) after installing mysql50-server. My system is
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 amd64. I did some digging and extracted the sources
chnage dir to the sources dir and ./configure --help to see the
available options.
Found an options name --with-mysqlmanager. Went back to add this option to
the Makefile (CONFIGURE_ARGS section) reinstalled mysql50-server but
again the mysqlmanager program/script is missing. Am i missing something?

 And i found in /usr/local/share/mysql a script called
mysqld_multi.server which
doesn't run saying: "Can't execute /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_multi
from dir /usr/local/mysql".
Check to see if there is a dir called /usr/local/mysql but there isn't
one. I even did a
find / -name "mysqld_multi" without no success.

 So can someone point me in the right direction please.

thanks and a great day,

Kernel crash before dumpon

[Frank Solensky]

I'm trying to get a dump off a machine with a 7.1-beta2 kernel that's
been crashing during the boot process, following the instructions on
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#KERNELDEBUG-OBTAIN
I've recompiled the kernel with "-g" but no vmcore file appears so I'm
assuming that the crash occurs before dumpon is executed.

The page includes the following suggestion on how I might be able to
proceed:
Alternatively, the dump device can be hard-coded via the
dump clause in the config(5) line of a kernel configuration

Well, I found the answer myself by comparing freebsd-update on FreeBSD
6.2 and 6.3. The version on 6.3 adds the -r newrelease option, which
doesn't exist on 6.2... so it looks like moving up a point release
using this tool is first possible with FreeBDD 6.3 -> 6.4. I know 6.2
isn't supported anymore, but it works fine for me.

SNMPD Consuming Swap Space

[Davenport, Steve M]

Hello,
 
I am running snmpd 5.4.1.2 built from a port on 7-Release, hardware is
Sun V100, 512Mb total memory, 381Mb free. The daemon starts fine. When a
snmpwalk is done from another system all is well until the interface
table and then I see:
 
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.1 : Gauge32: 1000
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.2 : Gauge32: 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.3 : Gauge32: 0
snmpwalk: No response arrived before timeout.

After the timeout happens, looking at "swapinfo -k" shows that swap
space is continually consumed until empty at which point the snmpd
daemon is stopped:
 
fbsdh# swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed
Nov 25 11:44:08 fbsdh kernel: pid 84674 (snmpd), uid 0, was killed: out
of swap space
 
Now the swap space is freeded:
fbsdh# swapinfo -k
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/ad0b 209916026456  2072704 1%
 
Has anyone seen this issue or know of a solution. 
 
Thanks for your assistance,
Steve

I have several FreeBSD 6.x servers in production running as VMs in
VMWare Fusion, they work great. Portable, too. You can set Fusion to
open your FreeBSD server upon starting, then you just put Fusion in
your Login Items (under your Account settings in the System
Preferences) so that it starts when the Mac Mini boots up. Give almost
all the resources to FreeBSD and you'll have a fast machine.

The other way to do it would be with Boot Camp, to enable booting to
FreeBSD using the Mac's EFI architecture (there is no BIOS, only an
emulated BIOS). You'll need that to be able to boot other operating
systems like Windows, I have never done it with FreeBSD but do a
search on the web for "mac mini freebsd boot camp", others have gotten
it to work. Start by telling the mac you want to put Windows on... The
only caveat, it used to be that when booting the Mini you'd have to
select the FreeBSD partition manually to start it up..a. maybe Apple
already fixed Boot Camp though so it remembers what you want as
default so that it's no longer a problem. Please let us know if you
try it.

-STABLE runs almost flawlessly on an 8-core late 2008 Mac PRO.
 Sometimes hangs as it's booting and you need to give the snd_hda

It's because the current version of perl in the ports tree is 5.8.8
-- when the net-snmpd package was compiled it was linked against a later
version.  You can probably see this by examining the output of:

  % ldd /usr/local/sbin/snmpd

The fix is either:

  upgrade perl  (recommended, as there's a security advisory against
 older versions of perl:
 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/5b47c279-8cb5-11dc-8878-0016179b2dd5.html 
)


or:

   compile the net-mgmt/net-snmpd port from sources

Cheers,

7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology

[bsd]

Hello I have updated my server (Intel Modular server) using the  
classical


# freebsd-update install


And I am now facing very weired issues only on amd64 servers I am  
maintaining.
Servers boots and then freezes when It launch "ipfilter". This is not  
a low level freeze, simply all access to the server are disabled.


- Single user boot does not work.
- SSH access does not work either.


These servers were working perfectly before this update…

---

What would you suggest to get out of this situation…

1. Rollback to the 7.0-RELEASE-p5 which was stable and worked well.
--> If so how can I access the server knowing that single user mode  
does not work?
--> Can you describe me the stages I would have to go through - I am  
not very used to this kind of situations.


2. Deactivate ipfilter (is there a way to do that at boot time without  
editing /etc/rc.conf ) ?


3. Deactivate all services at boot time (is there a way of bypassing  
at boot time the rc.conf file) ?



Thanks for your support.

Thanks again. Last night I upgraded GTK 2. using portupgrade and  
that was the last package the gimp was complaining about. gimp completed  
the install last night just fine. I was confused about what was the right  
package because the gimp install was saying that the gtk+ package wasn't  
present, but the only thing listed as gtk+ was a theme management package  
when doing a pkg_info.


I'm hoping for some clarification on something. Is GTK+ a subset of GTK  
2.x? Are they one in the same? If so, why are they known by two different  
names if they are the same thing?

The man page suggests that's correct:

"If ipaddr is not a local address, then the port number (if speci-
fied) is ignored, and the packet will be forwarded to the remote
address, using the route as found in the local routing table for
that IP."

On the compiling front, when running "make" do this:make -j   to speed up ure compiles.

Ans no it probably wouldn't speed up individual runs of Php
scrips/apps BUT it will allow you to run more parallel instances
without a performance hit.

freebsd-update will update the kernel sources on the condition that
the Components setting is configured correctly in freebsd-update.conf.
Normally you'd use:

Components src world kernel

Then after a successful update, if you're not using the GENERIC
kernel, you should rebuild the kernel with your custom settings.
After the new kernel is installed you should reboot the machine.
