transmission-web settings do not work
Basic system, installed these packages: transmission-daemon és transmission-web. Here is rc.conf: transmission_enable=YES transmission_flags= -a 192.168.0.1 transmission_download_dir=/download Other settings are the defaults. Then I do this: vm01# mkdir -p /download vm01# chown -R transmission:transmission /download vm01# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/transmission start Starting transmission. vm01# ps axww | grep transm 8963 ?? SsJ0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon -g /usr/local/etc/transmission/home -a 192.168.0.1 -w /download My problem: cannot use web UI from outside. Here is the error I get: Unauthorized IP Address. Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it. If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries. If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details. However, it is useless to change rpc-whitelist-enable to false in the ~transmission/settings.json file. I can even delete it. It doesn't matter. Anytime I start transmission-daemon, it ignores all the settings. Then, if I stop it, it dumps out the default settings again to settings.json. régi settings.json-t. When starting up transmission-daemon, it doesn't tell anything about not found config file, cannot read or parse it etc. What did I wrong?

7.2, usb mouse, uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 3
Hi, I just put 7.2 on an Asus P5N7A-VM motherboard (running with a Core II Quad 2.33). This motherboard has a PS/2 connector for the keyboard but not for the mouse. When I plug a USB mouse in, or connect a PS/2 mouse through an appropriate green adaptor (PS/2 mouse/USB) I get the following error on the console and in /var/log/messages: Nov 17 15:35:11 silver kernel: uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 3 I've tried different USB ports and gotten similar errors. To run an X display I will need (well, very much want) a mouse. Can anyone offer advice on what I must or can do? Thanks, Mark A.

BTX Loader crashes -- Help wanted
Who should I be talking to if the BTX loader is crashing on my specific hardware configuration, and what specific info do I need to be gathering for him/her in order to have hope of getting the problem rectified? I'd pulled stuff out of the system in question until there's practically nothing left and I'm at my wit's end with this problem. System: AMD Athlon 64 1640B CPU MSI K9VGM-V motherboard 1GB 667 DDR (Kingston) LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS50 - OEM floppy drive That's it. I've yanked out all the non-essential cards, _and_ I've even taken out the hard drive, and I'm still having BTX crashes. The problem(s) occurs with FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE/i386 disk1 (CD), 7.0-RELEASE/i386 disk1 (CD), 7.2-RELEASE/i386 Live Filesystem (CD), and 7.2-RELEASE/amd64 Live Filesystem (CD). The symptoms are different depending on which of the above I'm trying to boot from. In the case of the first two, the crash results in a bunch of register values being displayed on my screen, after which the system is dead. In the case of the last two above, it appears that the BTX loader actually starts to load a kernel (well, anyway, the little twisty thing starts turning), but then the screen goes completely black, after which my monitor senses that the video signal has gone completely dead, and at that point the system is just frozen, and needs a power-cycle or hard reset to get going again. Curiously, with the same motherboard (_and_ the same boot CDs), I have no problems at all booting off of any of the above boot CDs, AS LONG AS I am using a different (PATA) CD/DVD drive. But I have tried two different recent vintage SATA CD/DVD drives (Optiarc the LG mentioned above) and both result in the booting failures described above. I'm bumbed. I really had hoped to start moving my machines over to SATA, but so far things are just not working out smoothly at all. ___ 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

Try 8RC3 and see if any difference. I believe some work in this area may have occurred. In any event, these RELEASE versions are static and will not change.

You can try disabling ACPI at boot, as well as toggling the BIOS between Enhanced and Legacy mode if this option is available. Probably your best approach will be to use a SATA hard drive while using a PATA CD-ROM. This is most likely what you will have to do if 8RC3 doesn't make any difference and you just want to get the box going. I'm bumbed. I really had hoped to start moving my machines over to SATA, but so far things are just not working out smoothly at all. If 8 does the same thing file a PR in order to bring the attention of the developers. There may be one, or more, already on the subject.

(BTW, this is running on a GENERIC kernel, no firewall.) I did a packet capture on the OpenSolaris NFS server, and found that the kernel load and initial boot takes place over NFSv2. When the FreeBSD box tries to remount root, it sends a NFSv3 FSINFO request. The server returns NFS3ERR_STALE. It appears that that error is generated when the permissions to the mount are revoked... but we just mounted it seconds before? It turns out that there's a whole discussion thread on nfsv2 and v3 interoperability with diskless systems. See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-January/022792.html for a sample message. Short answer: it seems that there are interoperability annoyances with diskless systems and assorted NFS servers. NFS mount options in /etc/fstab seem to be ignored, but you can set them in /boot/loader.conf. boot.nfsroot.options=nfsv2 made FreeBSD try a NFSv2 remout, and the system came up.

I cannot personally speak to the performance of FreeBSD's NFS, but I wouldn't expect it to be the bottleneck in the situation described. Maybe others with more experience could chime in on this topic. The way to use a DAS is to connect the DAS to a server with an external SAS cable (or two). The PERC6/E controller you would need inside the server is very well supported in FreeBSD. The DAS system would basically act the same as internal disks would act (in the case of the MD1000). Of course you'll want to check with Dell before you make any purchases to be positive that your hardware will all communicate nicely, as I'm no Dell salesperson. Depending on how large of an array you plan to make (if larger than 2TB) you may have to investigate gpart/gpt to partition correctly, but that's quite simple in my experience. Chris Grant Peel wrote: Chris, Thanks for the insight! I will defineately investigate that DAS ... although I am not (yet) sure what the acronym means, I am sure it is something akin to Direct Access SCSI. You are quite right, I would like to use NFS to connect the device to the 6 servers I have, again, it would be only hosting the /home partition for each of them. Do you know if there would be any NFS I/O slowdowns using it in that fassion? Would freebsd support (on the storage device) that many connections? Also, do the Dell DAS machines run with FreeBSD? Also, from you you explained, I doubt I really need the versatility of the SAN at this point, or in the near future.

Especially if you're using many disks. SANs are generally chosen for the ability to be split into LUNs for different servers. Think of it as a disk which you can partition and serve out to servers on a per-partition basis, over Ethernet. That's essentially what an iSCSI SAN does. While DAS systems allow the same sort of configuration, they don't serve out over Ethernet, only SCSI/SAS. Since you plan to use NFS to share the files to the other servers, I think it may make more sense for you to use a SCSI solution if yo don't need the versatility of a SAN. Of course I know nothing of how you plan to expand this system, but from what I understand, with Dell DAS hardware it is possible to connect up to 4 different servers to the DAS and expand to up to 6 15 disk enclosures. The MD3000i (iSCSI) expands only to 3. Another issue is that without compiling in special versions of the iSCSI initiator, even in 8.0-BETA2 (which is not production-ready), iSCSI performance and reliability are terrible. There are other versions of the code (which I currently use) for the iscsi_initiator kernel module, but unless you're comfortable doing that, you may consider DAS in terms of ease of implementation and maintenance as well.

First, you have an SVNParentPath directive in your httpd.conf file. The directory on that line specifies a place where multiple, separate Subversion repositories will appear, so you could have a setup like this: /usr/home/svn/repos /internal-repos /client-projects-repos /oss-contrib-repos ... ... In this case, each of those repository subdirectories would be created like so: svnadmin create /usr/home/svn/repos/internal-repos svnadmin create /usr/home/svn/repos/client-projects-repos svnadmin create /usr/home/svn/repos/oss-contrib-repos So far, so good. What I notice in your directory listings is that you have a
kern.polling.lost_polls
Everyone: I've been experimenting with using device polling on a router with six Ethernet interfaces that handles lots of traffic. I turned polling on, and set HZ=4000 to minimize latency and ensure that enough time was allocated to handle all of the incoming packets. But the sysctl variable kernel.polling.lost_polls keeps incrementing! The documentation of this variable isn't very good, so I am not sure what this means. Does it mean that I should set kern.hz lower (perhaps to 2000) and kern.polling.burst_max higher? Or that running the interfaces in interrupt-driven mode would be more effective? How can I tell?

Well, I'm just about to file a new PR on this, but I'll refrain if someone else has alreadyt done so. Do you have an eisting PR number on this? Curiously, with the same motherboard (_and_ the same boot CDs), I have no problems at all booting off of any of the above boot CDs, AS LONG AS I am using a different (PATA) CD/DVD drive. But I have tried two different recent vintage SATA CD/DVD drives (Optiarc the LG mentioned above) and both result in the booting failures described above. You can try disabling ACPI at boot I just tried that (at your suggesting). Same result. No change. :-( ... as well as toggling the BIOS between Enhanced and Legacy mode if this option is available. I'm not seeing anything like that in my BIOS settings. Probably your best approach will be to use a SATA hard drive while using a PATA CD-ROM. This is most likely what you will have to do if 8RC3 doesn't make any difference and you just want to get the box going. Shsh! I literally _just_ bought this new SATA DVD drive, and I went with SATA because I believed that (a) the world is slowly but surely switching everything over to SATA and (b) SATA has been around long enough now that FreeBSD related bugs should have all been shaken out by now. Please excuse my snarkiness, but... I guess I was wrong about the latter. If 8 does the same thing file a PR in order to bring the attention of the developers. There may be one, or more, already on the subject. Well, I did a search on the PR database for BTX and I'm looking at all those PRs... some of them going back to 2004, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence about a possible timely fix... and I don't see anything in the subjects that quite matched up to what I'm talking about. And ah... while we are on the subject... If I do file a PR on this, then at long last I'll need to know the answers to the two questions that have been in the back of my mind for ages, regarding PRs... 1) What do the various severity codes mean? 2) What do the various proirity codes mean? I've never filed a PR with severity critical or with priority high because I've always figured that this may be a good way to get the developers to view _all_ one's future (and past) PRs with a suspicious/ jaundiced eye... you know... the-boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome. I don't want to be labeled as a nut case or an incessant complainer, but for _this_ issue I'm thinking that severity==critical and/or priority==high may be appropriate. I mean jeezzz Louise! If one can't even install from the distribution CDs/DVDs on perfectly good hardware... (And it's not like the whole SATA interface standard is exactly ``new'' or anything anymore.) So? Any advice?

The configuration is exactly the same, except B communicates with the track only using https (A does plain http). While A works 100% perfect an stable, B crashes the machine reproducible.

BUT should I start a torrent with a large number of seeders which could saturate my link for an extended period of time, the soekris router would suddenly freeze... but not immediately: more like a few hours (3 to 6) or so of relatively heavy traffic. Only a hard reboot of the router would help. Please note that rtorrent is NOT running on the router, only its traffic is being redirected through the router. So I'm suspecting some bug / resource leak in pf that would bring the kernel down somehow. What kind of resources should I monitor (and how)? Maybe that could bring some clues? Oh, before anybody asks: I have no crashdumps, the router freezes totally without panicking. And it doesn't recover automatically even after many hours. Any ideas?

I can recommend the Sun type 6 USB mouse (standard three button mouse), and maybe the type 7 USB mouse is excellent as well, allthough I can't confirm that because I don't own one (I don't like the mouse wheel). I was looking for a $20 mouse, not a $100 mouse, so that may make a difference in labling/testing. *shrug* A $100 mouse? What is it, made of gold? :-) Maybe the nameless mice are as good as the expensive ones (that come with well-known brand names) when it comes to USB standard compliance. Being able to test them in a live condition would always be an advantage... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: problem with printer on pcbsd

This printer was working, it configured with no problems. Now hp-setup cannot even find it. What happened? Any ideas? Just an idea: Does the printer contain some kind of card reader? It is possible that the printer could have been changed into a mode where it only appears as a DA storage device to the system, maybe this change of state can be done using the operator panel on the printer? If you haven't changed something on your PC, check the printer. Maybe there's a way to reset the thing to revert to default settings. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: kern.polling.lost_polls

I turned polling on, and set HZ=4000 to minimize latency and ensure that enough time was allocated to handle all of the incoming packets. But the sysctl variable kernel.polling.lost_polls keeps incrementing! The documentation of this variable isn't very good, so I am not sure what this means. Does it mean that I should set kern.hz lower (perhaps to 2000) and kern.polling.burst_max higher? Or that running the interfaces in interrupt-driven mode would be more effective? You likely have the HZ too high. First, see this description: http://www.pubbs.net/freebsd/200909/107087/ So that means that you give the kernel .25 microseconds to poll and act on any pending network IO. That's probably not enough. It is further explained by the comment in sys/kern/kern_poll.c: /* * Hook from hardclock. Tries to schedule a netisr, but keeps track * of lost ticks due to the previous handler taking too long. * Normally, this should not happen, because polling handler should * run for a short time.

If there are lost polls then, see if you can correlate it with link state changes. If not, then there may be issues with the driver and I would follow up to freebsd-net. If there are no lost polls, see if you can increase the frequency until they return. You also want to get some form of realworld measurement for these higher values: do they in effect increase network throughput. -- Mel ___ 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: diskless problem: Lookup of /dev for devfs, error: 13
On Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:49:16 -0500, Michael W. Lucas It turns out that there's a whole discussion thread on nfsv2 and v3 interoperability with diskless systems. See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-January/022792.html for a sample message. Short answer: it seems that there are interoperability annoyances with diskless systems and assorted NFS servers. NFS mount options in /etc/fstab seem to be ignored, but you can set them in /boot/loader.conf. boot.nfsroot.options=nfsv2 made FreeBSD try a NFSv2 remout, and the system came up. It's even funkier, since you said an 8.0 system, it should be nfsv4. Rick Maklem may be interested in your findings, on either freebsd-fs or in light of the upcoming release on freebsd-current. This is also a nice dilemma: nfsv4 is still wet behind the ears, but v2 should be considered deprecated. But - it is good to know that with all the new NFS code in 8.0, the v2 compat plays nice with Solaris v2. Thanks for pointing out it seems to be a permissions error, I wouldn't have headed down this route without that. You're very welcome. -- Mel ___ 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

I was already getting more than 1,000 network interrupts per second before I tried polling, and I'm not sure how many packets the interfaces (some fxp, some em) can buffer up. I'm going to try it, but if it doesn't work I will have to go back to interrupt-driven operation. --Brett Glass ___ 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
