it's FAST. what's wrong?


First thing that may be wrong is the understanding of the time  
figures. The documentation is not clear about them and the -h option  
is not working :


client6# time -h tar -cf - /usr > /dev/null
-h: Command not found.
0.000u 0.000s 0:00.00 0.0%  0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

The main thing is that the 3rd figures 1:23.92 and 4:32.47 seems to  
be the time i wait in front of the computer while it works (ok, i  
know, i should enjoy a beer, or hot coffee with this nice snow ;-) :


client9# date ; time tar -cf - /usr > /dev/null ; date ;

Wed Dec 31 08:28:25 CET 2008

and 08:28:25 - 08:23:59 = 00:04:26 is very close to 4:25.80.

On server, it means : 1440MB / 84s = 17MB/s
On client, that becomes : 1440MB / 266s = 5.4MB/s

I know the disk is not very fast, but i would like the NFS layer not  
to add too much...


I don't want my users to wait between 3 or 4 times more because  
computer is using NFS.


In my opinion there are more considerations than only nfs: the data is  
pulled twice over the network, and the tar process might initiate  
paging which is done over the network as well. The tar comparison is  
not a good one.

Just a sidenote, you are probably getting a version of time integrated
to your shell. The -h option works fine in /usr/bin/time, so run like this:

client6# /usr/bin/time -h tar -cf - /usr > /dev/null

Re: Optimising NFS for system files

[Bernard Dugas]

I am trying a memory disk on server to see the effect of hard drive 
performances, and also discovering the function :-)


The conclusion is that memory disk is faster that this drive ;-)
 45MB/s vs 10Mb/s

But the NFS access to the memory drive is still 5MB/s :-(

As there is no more hard drive involved, we know that there is a 
bottleneck at 5MB in NFS layer on this system... Where ?


Thanks a lot for any help on the method to find/diagnose this !

Details are below :

That makes 498MB / 11s = 45MB/s : better that 10MB/s for disk, but not 
exceptional.

That makes between 95s and 87s, then 498MB / 95s = 5,2MB/s and 5.7MB/s, 
like previous test from hard drive NFS export.



Top is showing around 100MB of free memory while taring on client9, so i 
don't think tar is paging on network :
last pid:  3318;  load averages:  0.17,  0.11,  0.04up 0+11:14:27 
10:08:10

30 processes:  1 running, 29 sleeping
CPU:  0.8% user,  0.0% nice,  9.0% system,  0.0% interrupt, 90.2% idle
Mem: 19M Active, 720M Inact, 136M Wired, 240K Cache, 110M Buf, 98M Free

I would welcome any way to check that idea on the system.

But :
- tar is directed to /dev/null so that should avoid any physical writing ;
- there is still memory FREE on both server and client while taring ;
- the effect of tar is the same on server and client, so the "induced 
error" should be the same time on both.


Thanks a lot,

accessing a networked printer to a FreeBSD box

[dhaneshk k]

people,




I am trying to access a printer from our LAN to my FreeBSD Desktop PC

which package I needed to do  that ?   system-config-printer  right  ?

NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to access an 
already working printer in our LAN


I
installed   system-config-printer from ports , but whenever I tried
to do   $system-config-printer, one blank dialog window blinks
away , the in the tty I am getting this error ..


[bha...@storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ system-config-printer

what
the exact issue ? what I made wrong ,   (I dont think I need CUPS to be
installed as I was not trying to attach a printer to this FreeBSD box) .



Here
I am attaching the system-config-printer.py file please help me fix the
issue   ( OR I have to install any other package than
system-config-printer ?) 


I thank you all in advance for any hints to fix it out .  struggling to fix 
this issue for the last couple of days ..

Any hints most Welcome

This is what i did with the tar. What function do you use for testing ?

i was fearing that, but it seems that does not happen in my testing, as 
repeating same test give same result. I don't know why it does not 
happens...

I would love to see that behaviour. But it didn't happen neither in my 
testing :-(

Is it the FreeNAS you describe in your testing or a new one ?

This is also my target :-) I will have some high density servers (6 
independent servers in 1U) and trying to master the freebsd diskless 
process before...

   people,
   I am trying to access a printer from our LAN to my FreeBSD Desktop PC
   which package I needed to do that ? system-config-printer right ?
   NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to
   access an already working printer in our LAN
   I
   installed system-config-printer from ports , but whenever I tried
   to do $system-config-printer , one blank dialog window blinks
   away , the in the tty I am getting this error ..

obsolete /usr/share/doc/handbook ?

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I update my local FBSD documentation with cvsup doc-all.
I note that the latest FBSD documentation is under /usr/doc.
However I still have /usr/share/doc which is about 2 years out of date.

On the other hand /usr/doc does not appear in hier(7),
whereas /usr/share/doc does.

Can I safely delete the obsolete docs under /usr/share/doc?
Why are there two doc folders?

many thanks
anton

sorry, rushed to ask before trying. I get it now.
/usr/doc - sources for all docs. Doing make install puts the
html docs under /usr/share/doc.

What you have downloaded is the source from which the docs are built.  
If you want to build them yourself, the directions are in the FreeBSD
Documentation Project primer (which is in the "books" section of the
documentation; I'd recommend you read it on the web -- for example,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ --
until you have a more recent local copy).

If you aren't planning on building the documents yourself, just download
them from the ftp sites.  Every document includes a suggestion to do so
from 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/

Scaner setup question

[stan]

I am trying to set up my HP C2520A scanner on 7.1 san-find-scanner finds it
at /dev/pass0, byt that device is only acessible to root:

crw---  1 root  operator0, 104 Dec 30 18:10 /dev/pass0

Now obviously I could change this, but i am wondering what the "correct"
way to allow ordinary users to access tis device is?

PostgreSQL setup

[stan]

I have installed PostgreSQL via the ports on a new 7.1 machine. I am trying
to set it up.

I found:

http://www.freebsddiary.org/postgresql.php

Whic says to run:

 su -l pgsql -c initdb

But that gives me the following error message:

initdb: no data directory specified
You must identify the directory where the data for this database system
will reside.  Do this with either the invocation option -D or the
environment variable PGDATA.

But when I try:

#  su -l pgsql -c initdb -D /usr/local/postgres

I get:

Illegal option -D

What am I doing wrong?

bind 9.4.2/FreeBSD 7.0 seems to be ignoring many settings I enter in
/etc/namedb/named.conf.  zones are being properly served internally, but

I think the command has to be enclosed in quotation marks since it consists
of multiple words.  su thinks the '-D' is an argument for su rather than
initdb.

su -l pgsql -c 'initdb -D /usr/local/postgres'

Best of luck,

Andrew

You haven't read a post-install message. ;-)
You may read it now:
-
$ less /usr/ports/databases/postgresql83-server/files/pkg-message-server.in

Go into the port directory for postgresql71 and so "make deinstall". After
that, do

script -a ~/PGSQL-INSTALL.txt make install clean

Once that is done, go ito the ~/PGSQL-INSTALL.txt and read the lines towards
the bottom. Those are sometimes calles Post-install message. They tell you
exactly what to do on FreeBSD.

kgdb - problem obtaining a backtrace

[Mike Clarke]

Every time I plug my camera into the USB port on my 7.1-RC2 system I get 
a kernel panic. The camera causes no problem with 6.4-RELEASE on the 
same PC.

I have submitted a PR for this problem 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=130076) and attached kgdb 
output with a backtrace. Unfortunately the backtrace was of no use as 
the fault occurs in a loaded module and I was asked to use asf(8) 
output to load the modules into kgdb and create a more useful 
backtrace.

Unfortunately when I did this I still got the same backtrace shown 
below.

This is the first time I've needed to submit a PR and do things with 
crash dumps so I'm very much out of my depth in uncharted waters but 
willing to learn. Have I done something wrong with kgdb or is there 
some other problem with the dump file?

I don't know if I did things the right way but here's the procedure I 
followed to get the backtrace:

The output of kldstat was:

 21 0xc0da2000 6a2c4acpi.ko
 31 0xc5599000 22000linux.ko

... and I ran the following command:

asf -N /boot/kernel/kernel -M /var/crash/vmcore.0 -s /boot/kernel

... which produced the following .asf file:

add-symbol-file /boot/kernel/acpi.ko.symbols 0xc0db4350 -s .data

add-symbol-file /boot/kernel/linux.ko.symbols 0xc55a9080 -s .data

... which I specified in a source command in kgdb

I just built a new 7.1 machine, and when I ssh from a Linux box to it I get
the following errors:

usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "unix:10.0" in "remove"
command
/usr/local/bin/xauth: (stdin):2:  bad display name "unix:10.0" in "add"
command

And I cannit get ssh to foward the X protocol. Yes I have added 

ForwardX11 yes to /etc/ssh/ssh_config

What am I doing wrong?

I assume you have xserver on the FreeBSD box?  Check your display name.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 'hostname:0:0'.

scanner setup question

[stan]

I am trying to set up a new machine that has an HP scanner atached to it. I
am a bit confused at the moment.

I am trying to set up to allow users to acess this scanner. I have added
this to /etc/devfs.conf

perm pass0 0660

And that seesm to work:

# ls -l /dev/pas*
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 104 Dec 31 12:07 /dev/pass0

I have added my suer to the operator group

# grep stan /etc/gro*
wheel:*:0:root,stan
operator:*:5:root,stan
network:*:69:stan
stan:*:210:

Running san-find-scanner as me finds the sacnner:


found SCSI processor "HP C2520A 3503" at /dev/pass0

But, 

$  scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

What am I doing wrong?


BTW as root:

# scanimage -L
device `hp:/dev/pass0' is a Hewlett-Packard C2520A flatbed scanner

Perhaps I was not clear. Yes I do have the X server running on the FreeBSD
machine, but that should not matter, as I am ssh'ing _from_ the Linux box
which does have a working X server on it also, and can ssh to other
machines  and get X fowarded corectly.

You need an xserver to connect *to*, which is why I asked.

Nope, not true: you can ssh to  client without x server (from an X
server) and start x clients to display on your local machine.

Through the ssh session, your display will be localhost:10:0

No, Stan is right; an X server is only needed on the machine that
actually hosts the display.

The xauth error message are indicating the problem, but I don't
know what they're telling us.  The hostname should probably be
"localhost", and sshd_config is set up to do that by default.

On the FreeBSD machine? I may be confused, but I think that on the FreeBSD
machine the "client" tassk (eg xclock) is run, and it is pointed to the
server on the machine that I am connecting _from_. Am I confused?

After re-reading Glens remark he's actually right: the client connects *

Right.  The host is hosting the display -- his Linux machine is the
client *to* the Xserver.

The task runs on the host machine (using the Xserver) and is forwarded
over SSH to the client machine.  The "client task" you refer to is on
the "host" machine.

Using PHP PDO on FreeBSD

[af300wsm]

Hello,

So, I've installed from ports the following:

sniper# pkg_info | grep php
php5-5.2.6_2 PHP Scripting Language
php5-pdo-5.2.6_2 The pdo shared extension for php
php5-pdo_pgsql-5.2.6_1 The pdo_pgsql shared extension for php
php5-pgsql-5.2.6_1 The pgsql shared extension for php


I noticed in /usr/local/etc/php there is a file named, extensions.ini with  
the following contents:

sniper# cat php/extensions.ini
extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so

However, when I try to use the PDO in my php script I get this error from  
the interpreter:

could not find driver

Now, I don't know what I'm missing. I've tried renaming  
/usr/local/etc/php.ini-recommended to php.ini. However, after reloading  
apache, I'm still getting the, "could not find driver," error. So, what's  
the secret to using this extension on FreeBSD?

The terms sever, and client are backwards from the intuitve expectaion in
the X world. The "server" is the process (X) taht actually updates the
screen with graphics (eg draw box). The "client" is the process that wisfes
to access the serrver to put somehting on the screen (eg xclcok). So, in
this case the "server" is on the Linux machine, and the client(s0 are on
the FreeBSD machine.

For the record, I solved the problem. Thier was no "hostname" entry in
/etc/rc.conf. hostname returned nothig. Fixing this, and rebooting cured
this problem.

Thaks to veryone for making me think this through.

Now, if somebady cna just give me a clue on the scanner issue (see seperate
thread).

No experience with a scanner, but for a CD writer you also need access to the 
xpt device. It's worth a shot.

Erm, that's kind of a round-about way to accomplish:
cat /usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/README-server

I did finally resolve this, although I am not certain whu this works. I
woulnd up putting the following 3 lines in /etc/devfs.conf

own pass0   root:operator
permpass0 0660
linkpass0   scanner

The one I did not have in here, when it was not working was the link.
Strange that tunning as root sane checks the pass0 device, but noot when
running as an ordianry user.

Dell 1950 RAID 1 Drives.

[Keith]

Have the above server, drive 0 failed. No onsite spares left. Ordered
replacement drives a week ago but they are still on route and wont be here
till Jan 5 or 6.

All I have is a test server of the same make/model in my test rack
configured and running a slightly different version of FBSD.

If I pull a drive from this test server that is already configured to a
RAID contoller and put it into the server with the bad drive, how will
the machine deal with it as it already has a valid config on it? Will I
just be able to go to the RAID Bios and rebuild?

Or wipe the config on the test server so the drive has no config on it
before installing it into the server with the failed drive?

Are the SAS drives in a Dell 1950 hot swap by chance?

Have not had a drive go like this with no spares around before.

Thanks.

   Use perl.  You'll want the "i" option to do case-insensitive matching,
   plus "m" for matching that could span multiple lines; the first
   quoted line above shows one of several places where a URL can cross
   a line-break.

   You might want to leave the originals completely alone.  I never trust
   programs to modify files in place:

 you% mkdir /tmp/work
 you% find . -type f -print | xargs grep -li http://junkfoo.com > FILES
 you% pax -rwdv -pe /tmp/work < FILES

   Your perl script can just read FILES and overwrite the stuff in the new
   directory.  You'll want to slurp the entire file into memory so you catch
   any URL that spans multiple lines.  Try the script below, it works for
   input like this:

  This
  http://junkfoo.com";>
 Site should go away too.

  And so should
  http://junkfoo.com/";
  > Site this

  And finally http://junkfoo.com/";>Site this

inetd.conf entry for saned?

[stan]

I seem to be having an inrdinate amount of trouble getting a working
inetd.conf entry for saned on 7.1 

If I run saned from the command line, I can connect and scan. But I cannot
seem to amke it work from inetd Here is what I have:

sane-port  stream  tcp  nowait  saned/usr/local/sbin/saned saned

Yes, I created a user for saned. although I am suprsied that the port did
not do that. When I start inetd with the -d flag, I get:

black# inetd -d
ADD : sane-port proto=tcp accept=1 max=0 user=saned
group=(null)class=daemon builtin=0x0 server=/usr/local/sbin/saned policy=""
inetd: sane-port/tcp: ipsec initialization failed; in entrust
inetd: sane-port/tcp: ipsec initialization failed; out entrust
inetd: enabling sane-port, fd 4
inetd: registered /usr/local/sbin/saned on 4

What file do I add this line to?

mplayer won't build

[Chad Perrin]

For some reason, on . . .

My machine:

  FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11

MPlayer refuses to build:

  N - O - T - E

  There are some knobs which *can* *not* be selected via the
  OPTIONS framework. You might want to check the Makefile in
  order to learn more about them.
  If you want to use the GUI, you can either install
  /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-skins
  or download official skin collections from
  http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
  ===>  mplayer-0.99.11_8 has known vulnerabilities:
  => mplayer -- twinvq processing buffer overflow vulnerability.
 Reference:
 

  => Please update your ports tree and try again.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer.

Is the problem that there isn't a newer, fixed version of MPlayer in
ports?  If so -- why can't I override it using `portinstall -f`?  Am I
going to feel dumb when I realize what's stopping MPlayer from building?
How long would it take to vacuum the entire state of Florida if it was
carpeted?  What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow in
flight?

Okay . . . feel free to ignore the last two or three questions.

Thanks.



Better to ask Dell weather they're hot swap or not as an absolute 
answer.  When I asked, the tech at the time said "the newer PERC 
controllers are all hotswap, as long as the RAID controller isn't 
talking to the drive anymore".  Given the 2nd system is actively using 
it, I don't think it's hotswap.


As for the config, you'd have to force an integrity/rebuild on the 
first.  Clearing the config on the 2nd shouldn't be necessary.  In fact, 
the second may see a missing drive and panic as is.  The PERC6 
controllers I deal with at work have a "feature" that I would call a 
bug.  A missing physical disk causes the RAID controller to 
waste/dump/ignore/forget it's onboard config.  You may be dead in the 
water on the 2nd system until you get a drive to put in.


Backup server 1 and 2.  And wait for the drive to come.  No other good 
way to solve this problem.

postgresql network access problem

[stan]

I am having a bit of a problem enabling remote access to postgress on my
7.1 system.

I have added to postgresql.conf

listen_addresses = '*'

and to pg_hba.conf 

hostall all XXX.159.77.0/24 trust

XX is a real number, and is the first octect of the network that this
mahcine lives on

Now, it appears that I alos need to add the -i, or -h flag to the
invocation of postgress itslef, but I can't seem to get the rc.conf sysntax
corrcet for that. What should this entry look like?

pax is like cpio, isn't it?

anyway, yes, i'll ponder this.  i [mis]-spent hours
undoing something bizarre that my scrub.c binary did
to directories, turning foo and bar, (and scores
more)
into foo and foo.bar, bar and bar.bak.  the bak were 
the saved directories.  the foo, bar were bizarre. i
couldn't write/cp/mv over them.  had to carefully 
rm -f foo; mv foo.bar foo [et cetera]..

then i scp'd my files to two other computers.

Thanks -- that's not just something like what I wanted: it's exactly what
I wanted.  It seems odd to me that there isn't an option for that in
portinstall (ignoring -m for the moment).

I wonder if the spaces around curly braces that named examples always

Looks like it's not seeing named.conf, assuming that 216.154.117.227 
exists as the address of a local interface at the time when named is 
started, as Mel mentioned.  This can be a problem with ppp or mpd ..

What does 'realpath /etc/named' say?  Are you using the FreeBSD default:
 
% realpath /etc/namedb
/var/named/etc/namedb
% ls -l /etc/namedb 
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Dec 12 02:37 /etc/namedb -> /var/named/etc/namedb

If you run '/etc/rc.d/named stop' and then '/etc/rc.d/named start', what 
shows up in /var/log/messages ?

What's in /etc/rc.conf concerning named ?  Any clues from 'rndc status'?

cannot compile linphone due to compile error message in gio-fam-backend

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello.

I failed to compile linphone on my FreeBSD 6-1 (yes I know it's old but
as it has been working well for the last several years I got no motivate
to upgrade it unless have to). The last error message says:

[from gio-fam-backend ]:

cannot find -lgio-2.0

It seems I miss a package that provides gio-2.0. But what is that
package? I tried to google this error message without luck.

Thanks for help getting me having linphone installed. The whole compile
error message is below:

even I was confused :). Damn, i have never contributed a line to FreeBSD :(
am a professional C/C++ programmer on windoz with minimal expertise in
using patch, binutils etc, FreeBSD is just my hobby @ home. I will
contribute

My first wild guess would be to check your version of glib20 and see if it
is 2.16.5_1. Possibly you may need to update it first (and what it might
depend on as well). Look at /usr/ports/devel/glib20.

Stan,

I'm not aware of anything needed in /etc/rc.conf other than

postgresql_enable="YES"

I know the argument of which you speak.  Lately, I've been using just
UNIX domain sockets for access to my databases but I do remember
having to use this argument, if memory serves it's the "-i" option, to
enable access on TCP (basically, it tells the daemon to open TCP
sockets when starting).  I would, instead of looking for an rc.conf
entry, edit the script that starts the postgresql server in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d.  From the following link,
http://www.freebsddiary.org/postgresql.php, if you're using a recent
server, perhaps 8.x, the file will be named "postgresql."  If you're
using an older server, it will something like, "010.pgsql.sh."  Find
the appropriate line that starts the server and modify the arguments
there.

Hope this is of help to you.

Andy
