I need to migrate their user account settings (shell, password, expiry etc) and also their data that they have in their directories. Basically: - you need to vipw on both machine and copy the user accounts from the old machine to the new machine, that is fast; Or copy /etc/passwd from the old machine to the new one, and run pwd_mkdb, which is essentially what vipw does anyway. And don't forget to sync your groups file as well! Dan - you need to copy the home directories of your users from one machine to the other, that can take long time if you have a lot of users with a lot of data. To be sure that there is no change being made by the users while you are copying the data/accounts, you must disable any login during the copy process. You can practice copying the accounts while the machines are online (login enabled); but be certain to do a final copy with the machine offline (login disabled). If copying data would take too long time and you cannot afford to put the system offline for such a long period, you could install rsync on both machines. - keep machines online and rsync the users data from the old machine to the new one. - repeat rsyncing indefinitely, this will continue copying file that has changed. - put the machine offline and do a last rsync: that one should not take too long as it will only copy what has changed since the very last run of rsync. Another way regarding the users' data, if they reside on a separate hard disk, you can simply physically mount that hard disk in the new machine.

Once the NAS is setup, (using NFS), how do the permissions on the NAS machine play out? i.e. when user 'hisname' logs into a server via ftp, and uploads a file to his home directory (which is on the NAS), will the file permissions be the same, and will 'hisname' own the file exactly the same as if he were writing to the local (server) disk? That is expected, else something bad would exists in the configuration of the NAS. In the NAS exports do I have to map every user to the NFS or can I just maproot? Maproot is the easiest as it gives complete access to the NFS exported directory. Now you may consider that for security reason, users of client-machine 1 should only be allowed to NFS mount their own home directory. In that case, you may need the users of client-machine 1 to exist on client-machine 1 and on the server, etc for machine 2... Actually I never had this case when a user account only exists on an NFS client but not on the NFS server, so I am not too sure. I guess that user ID of the users should be different on every client system. You may consider an LDAP directory for your users, where the server would see all the users, but each client-machine would see only the users belonging to it (I thing that there is an host attributes, so client-1 only sees the users with host=client-1).

Ezjail, Perl, upgrading best practices advise please
All, Couple issues: 1) I need some understanding on how to deploy and upgrade perl properly in this jailed environment. 2) I need some help on my current tangle of Perl library complaints Issue #1: In a jailed environment how many installations of perl are recommended (ie 1 host system 2 basejail 3 each jail) ? My sense would be that one on the host and one in the basejail, would be the most efficient. If that is the case how do I upgrade the perl in the basejail? How do I handle different versions of perl installed in each of the jails? Issue #2: My lack of understanding has me in a mess currently.

Re: Questions regarding portmaster's man page
Christer Solskogen wrote: Hi! The man page for portmaster say this: Alternatively you could use portmaster -a -f -D to do an ``in place'' update of your ports. If that process is interrupted for any reason you can use portmaster -a -f -D -R to avoid rebuilding ports already rebuilt on previous runs. However the first method (delete everything and rein- stall) is preferred. I'm wondering why the first method is preferred. First before I forget, in general it's always a good idea to send a message to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org first if you're not sure what list to send it to, so you didn't do anything wrong here. On the other hand, if you have a question about a ports-related issue you should probably send it to freebsd-po...@freebsd.org where you are more likely to get a focused response. That said, there are a couple of answers to your question. Even though we try to be thorough with the ports system removing files after a port is deinstalled there are occasionally problems so if you've had a /usr/local populated with ports for a few years there is probably old cruft in there that it would be good to remove. The other answer is that doing an in place upgrade will inevitably end up with some ports compiled against old libs, which is not a good thing. Not to mention that there will likely be some dependencies left over on your system that you don't need. The method described in portmaster's man page encourages you to save a list of the root and leaf ports you're using. These are the ports that are not depended on by other ports, which generally means that they are the actual applications you're using (like firefox, etc.). By telling portmaster to install only these ports and letting the ports system handle the dependencies for the new conditions you're likely to get a cleaner upgrade. Those are the two main reasons. There are occasionally other reasons, such as the libusb problems with hal that people are experiencing after upgrades to 8.0 that just make delete and reinstall the cleaner option and the one that should be recommended most highly. hope this helps, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection ___ 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

Re: Ezjail, Perl, upgrading best practices advise please
On 10/2/09, Troy Kocher t...@kocherfamily.org wrote: All, Couple issues: 1) I need some understanding on how to deploy and upgrade perl properly in this jailed environment. 2) I need some help on my current tangle of Perl library complaints Issue #1: In a jailed environment how many installations of perl are recommended (ie 1 host system 2 basejail 3 each jail) ? My sense would be that one on the host and one in the basejail, would be the most efficient. If that is the case how do I upgrade the perl in the basejail? How do I handle different versions of perl installed in each of the jails? Your questions indicate you setup a base jail and nullfs mount the points to the other jails. Although it is written it can be done, I have to ask why you decided to do it this way? base distribution only takes about 128MB of disk space, and nearly nothing for RAM (by today's disk and RAM sizes). I recommend each jail have their own world installed, preferrably the same world because since the jails share the world with the hosts' kernel, and world+kernel must be kept in sync, setup a host on release, and all jails on a release too. I'm currently experimenting (for fun) a -stable host, and -release jails, which is unsupported. It gets a tad annoying when you manage multiple jails that it has no concept of already built ports and to use them, so I find myself cancelling out of a lot of builds to install the package created from another jail.

Looks like the server would run more smoothly with a bit more RAM. At least an additional 256M, I would think, but considering the price of RAM, you might as well just up it to 2G. The amount of used swap is much less important than whether you are actively swapping (if there are In/Out values on the Swap line in top, or if vmstat 1 shows nonzero values in the pi/po columns). 160MB of used swap is fine if it's just unused daemons (getty, idle webserver, etc). More memory can never hurt, but it doesn't seem like it's urgently needed here. I don't know about that, Dan. Especially considering it's a mail server he's talking about, there's no RAM left for disk cache on that machine. We've seen performance gains on our mail server by putting obscene amounts of RAM into it. After a bit of use, FreeBSD ends up having 6.5G of inactive RAM, which I assume is cache of mailboxes. The result is that while watching gstat, the amount of disk reads is very low (since a lot of data is already in RAM) and the IO is available to do fast writes when new mail comes in. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ ___ 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 -- Who knew ___ 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

sysinstal and setting up the BSD partitions inside an FDISK 'slice'.
The 'sysinstall' BSD partition-table and mount point editor appears to be
lacking in some features that are highly desirable to people building complex
configurations with the O/S spread across multiple drives. For the 'usual'
scenarios -- especially with modern high-capacity drives -- the case can be
made, fairly convincingly, for using only a small number of filesystems (i.e.,
possibly as few as 2) on a large drive. There are, however, specialized
(i.e., at least 'somewhat' esoteric :) situations where it _is_ desirable to
use a much larger number of filesystems. Situations were you need to control
the allocation of partition letters, _and_ 'where' on the slice that
partiton 'lives'. Just like being able to edit the 'mount point', without
deleting/re-creating the partition, it would be _very_ helpful to have a
function that allowed one to change _which_ partition a given chunk of
disk was named. That is, cursor to '{controller}d1s2g', say, and be able
to 'change' the final character to any of the partitions (abdefh) that are
not currently allocated any space.

Kernel symbol table usage ?
Building an old-style monolithic kernel, for a minimalist installation, the symbol table file ends up being many times larger than the kernel itself. I'd like to move it off to secondary storage, _if_ that won't break anyting. Obviously, for crash dump analysis, one needs to have it available, but I'd be doing that on a different machine, with much larger storage available. Thus the question -- does anything in a system that _doesn't_ do *any* module loading (loadable module support is _not_ in the kernel) need the symbol table? ___ 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

7.2 Sysinstall choices -- existing multi-boot (based on Win7 RC's boot mgr) system
Currently, I have Win/XP in slice 1, no slice 2, Win 7 RC in slice 3 and Acronis' hidden part in slice 4. I have unallocated space after slice 1 (about 45gb) I wanted to use for FreeBSD. I told sysinstall to create a slice (in the unallocated space), then create FreeBSD partitions in it for /, paging, /usr, /var, /tmp /home. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to tell it about boot managers though? Right now the MBR points to Acronis' recovery slice, which boots to Win 7's boot manager, it defaults to Win/XP. When I said do nothing sysinstall marked the new slice bootable, and FreeBSD does boot to a text menu with Beastie on it. But, that doesn't give access to the OS's in slice 1 and 3? if I tell it to use the default boot manager, (booteasy?), will it offer at least access to what's currently in the master boot record slice 2 (FreeBSD)? Or do I need a way to tell Win7's boot manager about FreeBSD in slice 2?

I use espeak, but have never tried to use any other than the stock voice, it works just fine. I suspect most other folks have the same experience. I use espeak to verbalize warnings and errors from XYMON on the main server which sits next to me, since I'm not always looking at email. What I'm looking for is how to use the ``better than the default voices''; there are several english languages that are fairly natural sounding. Nothing I've googled explain using the quality voices for FreeBSD. gary Gary, You should post this on the sourceforge forum for eSpeak.

Re: 7.2 Sysinstall choices -- existing multi-boot (based on Win7 RC's boot mgr) system
Currently, I have Win/XP in slice 1, no slice 2, Win 7 RC in slice 3 and Acronis' hidden part in slice 4. I have unallocated space after slice 1 (about 45gb) I wanted to use for FreeBSD. I told sysinstall to create a slice (in the unallocated space), then create FreeBSD partitions in it for /, paging, /usr, /var, /tmp /home. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to tell it about boot managers though? Right now the MBR points to Acronis' recovery slice, which boots to Win 7's boot manager, it defaults to Win/XP. When I said do nothing sysinstall marked the new slice bootable, and FreeBSD does boot to a text menu with Beastie on it. But, that doesn't give access to the OS's in slice 1 and 3? The default Windows MBR will simply just boot the active slice. When you created your FreeBSD slice it was automatically marked active. if I tell it to use the default boot manager, (booteasy?), will it offer at least access to what's currently in the master boot record slice 2 (FreeBSD)? Or do I need a way to tell Win7's boot manager about FreeBSD in slice 2? boot0 (aka BootEasy) will ask you what slice to boot from. If you've already installed FreeBSD you can replace your current MBR with: boot0cfg -B ad0 Just make sure to replace ad0 with your actual hdd device name.
