Re: CARP bridge
Hi, Nikos Vassiliadis wrote: Sebastiaan van Erk wrote: Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but unfortunately the carp device never leaves the INIT state when I put the ip on the bridge. :-( I did find some similar problem here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=125816 I just noticed that. On -CURRENT carp tells you that's not supported: bridge0: carp is not supported for this interface type OTOH why do you even have to use the VIP from the remote side of the bridge? The only reason I can think of, for doing such a thing, is to get *all* traffic from the remote location through a single redundant router, the one with the VIP. Is this the case? It is indeed a single redundant router, though the traffic from the other side of the bridge (the OpenVPN clients) generally don't need to be routed redudantantly. The OpenVPN clients use OpenVPN's redundancy (multiple remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lines), and thus use the non-redundant IP address of the OpenVPN client they're connected to as gateway (which is fine, because if the server dies OpenVPN connects to a different server anyway)... So I don't really *NEED* the CARP ip address over the bridge (the static arp works, so I have a working solution, albeit an ugly one; an ARP request generates a reply from every member of the redundant cluster). I guess it's just not a supported configuration yet and it's not my stupidity (in this case anyway ;-)) that's the problem.

Xdvi with amd64
Hi, Is there known issue with the port of Xdvi (/usr/ports/print/xdvi) on 6.4 amd64? I suspect there is a problem with the size of the int/short/long as Xdvi detects wrong number of bits in some font files, while these same font files are used without problem by other ports and are identical to font files generated in x86 system. Is there an option to compile a port in strict 32 bits mode?

When a System Dies; Getting back in operation again.
Let's say we have a system that is backed up regularly and it vanishes in a puff of smoke one day. One can get FreeBSD installed on a new drive in maybe half an hour or so but we also need to get back to the right patch level and then we can say we are back where we started. If you do not have hot-swappable drives which we mostly do not, What is the best way to restore the full system? Can I use the FreeBSD installation disk in rescue mode? The idea would be to boot the CDROM, go in to rescue mode, mount the new drive which may be blank right now, and then use restore based on the last dump of the system we are trying to revive. Thanks.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one complaining about documentation.
The language use is not a question of applications but of text - I don't
have problems in any of my applications in entereing the language text
except on xorg. I can manage it with the current setup, but I just find
it strange that I cannot get the ca(multi) functioning correctly. Could
it be a question of the physical keyboard? I haven't yet tried this one
that works correctly on the FreeBSD machine, but that's next.
On the FreeBSD the ca(multi) does function with multiple accents like
the umlaut - with two keypresses - but on this XP box, the multi gives
me one-stroke accents for the French Canadian accents, upper as well as
lower case except for the ^ caret.
I rather doubt that Tijl Goosemans has enabled the same capabilities for
his *nix or FBSD box as I have on my XP; otherwise I would have had that
done long ago. As I said before, I can set up the ca(multi) but it's
just not the right one. Just for laughs, I'm going to try this keyboard
on FreeBSD and see what happens.

The idea would be to boot the CDROM, go in to rescue mode, mount the new drive which may be blank right now, and then use restore based on the last dump of the system we are trying to revive. Yes. By the way, dump/restore are the best for backup/recovery because they handle the odd situations best - such as you replace the old failed disk with a newer either larger or smaller (but still big enough to hold everything) disk. Other utilities cannot handle that gracefully. Dump/restore does. There are a few other odd cases as well. I think you want what is called 'fixit' mode. You can select that when you boot from it. I am not absolutely sure all sets of disks are populated identically. Check now that your CD has the fixit and if it is on a different image, download that one, burn it and stash it somewhere safe. What you want to do is use the fixit image to set up the disk. That means fdisk and bsdlabel and newfs it. You can actually use sysinstall to do this as well. Just let the installer come up and do the disk stuff, choose minimal install and then after it finishes making the disks, kill the rest of the install (or just let it finish and then overwrite it. But, I find it actually easier to do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s myself. But, then I am used to it. Right after you get done making sure where your fixit is living, then use fdisk and bsdlabel to check for the way you have the disk set up currently. Write it down or print it out and keep it near that installation/fixit disk. If you do fdisk ad0or fdisk da0 (depending on IDE/SATA or SCSI/SAS respectively) without any other parameters, it will print out what it thinks the disk is currently like.Of course, if it is other than disk 0, use the correct number. Then do a similar thing with bsdlabel. bsdlabel -e ad0s1 or bsdlabel da0s1.If you have more than one slice and FreeBSD is not on slice 1, then use the correct slice identifier here. So, if it is the second SATA drive and the third slice on it that might look like bsdlabel -e ad1s3. Note that drives number from 0, but slices number from 1. Anyway, then copy the information it shows in the table down or print it out. Ignore the stuff on top - anything above where it says: '8 partitions:'You are just interested in the partition identifiers and the sizes and offsets, types and the fsize, bsize and bps/cpg.Actually, you can normally just take whatever defaults it gives you for fsize, bsize and bps/cpg unless you are doing something extra exotic. Then just get out of the edit session without writing/saving. just type ESC :q! Those numbers don't have to be the exact same on the new disk and probably will not be, but you will want to have the information handy rather than have to recalculate it at a bad time. NOTE, I am mostly writing this presuming that you have the machine only running FreeBSD. If you have it dual booted, you will want the information on the other OS slices too. fdisk will give you what you need to know. The FreeBSD fdisk is smart enough to report on all slices -(what MS calls primary partitions) even if they are not FreeBSD slices. It does not report on extended partitions, but it does not need to. You only need to know about the primaries/slices. You let those other OSen deal with 'extended' stuff. If you have an MS or Lunix OS on it, then those should be put back first. Whatever you did to divide the old disk will have to be done to make the slices on the new disk. Maybe Partition Magic or Gparted was used. Once you have it divided in those major divisions (slices/primary partitions) then use fdisk to make at least the FreeBSD slice boodable. Those other OSen will probably take care of it for theirs. The easy thing is if the whole disk is being used by FreeBSD. Then just do: fdisk -BI da0 That will make the whole disk FreeBSD and bootable. Then do two bsdlabels. The first sets up the label and the second edits it to have the partitions you want. bsdlabel -w -B da0s1 bsdlabel -e da0s1 You will see an edit session about like the one you saw when you collected the information to stash away, except it will only show a 'c' partition. Leave that c partition alone, but make the other ones similar to what you had on the old disk. You only need to put in the '0' value for the offset on the first (a) partition and then put '*' in for the rest of the offsets. Make the rest of the

If you do not have hot-swappable drives which we mostly do not, What is the best way to restore the full system? Can I use the FreeBSD installation disk in rescue mode? The idea would be to boot the CDROM, go in to rescue mode, mount the new drive which may be blank right now, and then use restore based on the last dump of the system we are trying to revive. Thanks.

Poor ZFS performance
Hello! I've got a ZFS-based file server running FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE, with two raidz1's of 3 x 500gb. Recently my system has exhibited exceptionally poor performance in a way that confuses me. None of the drives are in a degraded state, and zpool iostat reports typical performance figures, while actual applications (dd, in this case) only receive data at much lower rates. My basic benchmark, and once that I'd used before, is to dd a big file and output it to /dev/null. What's occurring now is mystifying, as dd is reporting much lower figures than zpool iostat. -- n...@ice2:~uname -a FreeBSD ice2 7.1-STABLE FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #0: Sun Feb 8 20:31:17 EST 2009 r...@ice2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 n...@ice2:/media/nf/videosdd if=sph-kingok.avi of=/dev/null 1433288+0 records in 1433288+0 records out 733843456 bytes transferred in 61.124812 secs (12005656 bytes/sec) (and, while that's running:) n...@ice2:~sudo zpool iostat -v 2 capacity operationsbandwidth pool used avail read write read write --- - - - - - - data 1.19T 1.53T 13 29 990K 153K raidz1 1.01T 361G 9 11 641K 58.8K ad4s1d - - 3 8 283K 30.2K ad8s1d - - 3 8 282K 30.2K ad10s1d - - 3 8 284K 30.2K raidz1 191G 1.17T 4 17 349K 94.5K ad6s1d - - 1 12 138K 48.3K ad10s1e - - 1 12 134K 48.3K ad12s1d - - 2 12 141K 48.3K --- - - - - - - capacity operationsbandwidth pool used avail read write read write --- - - - - - - data 1.19T 1.53T 1.41K 0 179M 0 raidz1 1.01T 361G 1.40K 0 179M 0 ad4s1d - -676 0 72.1M 0 ad8s1d - -453 0 45.1M 0 ad10s1d - -605 0 61.7M 0 raidz1 191G 1.17T 4 0 127K 0 ad6s1d - - 0 0 49.9K 0 ad10s1e - - 1 0 74.4K 0 ad12s1d - - 1 0 92.1K 0 --- - - - - - - capacity operationsbandwidth pool used avail read write read write --- - - - - - - data 1.19T 1.53T 1.19K102 152M 517K raidz1 1.01T 361G 1.19K 42 152M 149K ad4s1d - -369 16 39.2M 75.4K ad8s1d - -436 17 48.7M 77.2K ad10s1d - -563 19 65.3M 76.2K raidz1 191G 1.17T 5 59 116K 368K ad6s1d - - 0 32 63.9K 187K ad10s1e - - 2 34 146K 188K ad12s1d - - 1 34 114K 190K --- - - - - - - ^C -- So I presume you discount the first output of iostat as a measuring error, and interpret the subsequent outputs as cumulative over the repeat interval (in this case each two seconds).

As I said before, on previous attempts iostat and dd reported figures that corresponded with each other. I'm not sure what's changed between those attempts. (There is nothing else reading from disk at the same time. As soon as the dd concludes, zpool iostat reports the arrays are idle.) FWIW, here's what top reports while I'm running the dd: -- CPU: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 14.3% system, 4.5% interrupt, 80.8% idle Mem: 1950M Active, 868M Inact, 537M Wired, 238M Cache, 363M Buf, 87M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 101M Used, 923M Free, 9% Inuse PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 8402 nf 1 500 4604K 788K zio-i 0 0:03 8.59% dd -- If anyone can shed some light on what's going on here, I'd be most appreciated.

I have had the same problem: booting CURRENT from an USB key and wanting to get access to the SSD partitions created with RELENG_7 kernel in the EeePC.

I don't know why I wasn't thinking of the rescue CDs (most likely since I did not have to use them before). I'll give it a try once I find a big enough backup disk. - Till -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e matthias.ap...@oclc.org - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
