Hi ,

Is there anyone here that have used SAN against IBM DS4800 (Fiber). I
can see disk but i can't fdisk it.

Adding slice on existing disk

2010-03-01 Thread Leslie Jensen


On a dualboot system I've made some space available that I want to make 
a freebsd slice of.


Following the instructions described here:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=2726

When using sysinstall label I get this when I try to write.

Error mounting /dev/ad4s4d on /data : File or directory does not exist

I have created
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel 512  1 Mar 09:51 data/

I get the same error and I try to use bsdlabel manually but I get:

bsdlabel -w /dev/ad4s4
bsdlabel: unable to get correct path for /dev/ad4s4: No such file or 
directory


Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks

 The problem is not ports, it's packages.  If a package specifies 5.8,
 it installs the 5.8 package, and I'm toast.  So make.conf doesn't matter.
 

Precompiled packages aren't going to work for this: the dependencies are
compiled in.  Also, specifically a perl thing: the perl version number
is encoded into the library paths where modules are installed, which
makes it ... challenging ... to use them with a different version of perl.

For best results, install from ports rather than packages.  If it's
pure-perl code, then this should be hardly more onerous than installing
a compiled package.  XS code however will chew up some CPU cycles.

Check out portmaster(8) or portupgrade(8) as the moral equivalents of
the cpan(1) program to make dealing with ports more convenient.

Cheers,

Wait.   perl-5.10.1 the new default version since 3 weeks ago, but I
guess the packages on the FTP sites have not yet been updated.

FreeBSD-Compatible Multifunction Device

2010-03-01 Thread Tim Gustafson
Hi,

I've Googled this a bit and found lots of noise about different experiences
with devices that -didn't- work or commentary from people about how
multifunction devices are a bad idea, but no actual recommendations.

I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation for me about which
networked multifunction device is most compatible with FreeBSD?
Specifically, I'd like a printer/scanner/fax/copier that:

- is network-enable out of the box (wired is preferred but wireless is ok)

- has FreeBSD CUPS printer drivers

- can be configured to send scans to FreeBSD somehow
  (either by mounting a samba share, or sending an e-mail, or whatever)

- had a scanner hopper that would let me scan multiple pages at once

- bonus points for a scanner that scans both sides of the page

It would be further awesome if inbound faxes could be routed to e-mail too,
but that's not a requirement.

Has anyone found such a beast?

, ASC/ASCQ 94/01 corresponds to Invalid Request Due to Current Logical Unit
Ownership.  Maybe the DS4800 thinks that the lun has been assigned to a
different host, and that's why it won't let the FreeBSD machine access it. 

Other web searches indicate that this may be an attempt to access the
passive path of multipathed device on an active/passive RAID array.  If
that's the case, FreeBSD should have found another disk (da1 possibly?) that
you should be able to use.

I would suggest to use sysinstall oder sade for this task,
this is because I'm lazy. :-)

In the slice editor, you create a slice covering the space
you made free, or, if neccessary, you delete obsolete slices
prior to creating a new one.

In the label editor, you select the new slice (e. g. ad4s4)
and create a partition covering the whole slice. You set
the options UFS2+S Y (which means to use UFS2 file system
plus soft updates, and yes to newfs, so the partition will
be formatted), and set a mountpoint that you have already
created (e. g. /data).

Finally you confirm the settings and write them to the disk.
This should work fine.

Of course, you can do the same using the command line tools,
in the same order:
1. create new slice,
2. create new partition inside slice,
3. format the partition, and finally
4. mount it.

spreculative: /bin2 /usr/bin2 and alternative package/ports trees?

2010-03-01 Thread Chris Telting

Just wondering if anyone cares to share their thoughts about this.

There are a few ports that I would love to see included in the base tree 
such as OpenLDAP and the Openbsd pdksh or bash.  But It hasn't happened 
and isn't likely to happen.  So I was thinking about the pkg 
infrastructure.  The location of the pkg file database I believe can be 
specified.  And the installation directories I believe can also be 
specified.  Other than that paths would have to be changed for binaries 
and libraries and probably share and other installation points.


This should allow separate package trees meaning that when I delete and 
reinstall my main ports these programs will not be affected and the 
package database info for these will not be screwed up.


Is it possible and if it is has anyone implemented it on their own systems?

Or have people simply taken to installing ports in the main directories?

Remote Building of FreeBSD

2010-03-01 Thread Martin McCormick
One can almost but not quite remotely build a FreeBSD system
using mfsbsd. The problem is that in order to install the
mfsboot.img data on the main boot drive, it is necessary to use
dd to write it there and a working system already has mounted
all partitions in the main drive. 

The systems I will be upgrading have 1 or more gigabytes
of RAM available so a memory disk could conceivably hold the
roughly 40-meg image that must be written to the boot sector of
the main drive.

For this to work, one must unmount all main drive
partitions and still be able to do something like:

dd if=mfsboot.img of=/dev/ad0

After that, the reboot will launch mfsbsd and the rest
appears to be manageable.

carp ghosts

Hi!

We have two Frontendserver with carpinterfaces. Now we need more of the
carpinterfaces. When i use /etc/netstart to bring them online, there are
error messages about misconfigured carpinterfaces. When i look with
ifconfig to the list of interfaces, there are four ghost
carpinterfaces. I haven't set them in the rc.conf and the errors came
frome them.
This interfaces are the following from the list of real
carpinterfaces. Where could i have made a mistake or is it a bad idea
using netstart with carpinterfaces?

thanks in advance

I am currently using FreeBSD 8.0. I have been, for a long time, been 
having problems with lockups of FreeBSD 8.0 when using USB hard disks. 
Sometimes certain applications lock up for several minutes, when they

operating system can lock up for several minutes. This can be a pretty 
painful thing and makes the system seem very unstable. I am using UFS 
filesystems on the disks. It seems to happen on multiple disks that i

I was hopeful changes to the FreeBSD USB drivers might have improved 
things but they are as bad as ever.


Help is appreciated.

Are there perhaps diagnostic tools or an error log that can be enabled 
so I can see if maybe there is some sort of error occuring with the USB 
transmissions that might be causing this problem, or perhaps what part 
of the driver code it is getting locked up on?.


Has anyone else experienced problems such as this with USB disks? If

As far as I know, there isn't an official way to do this.  What you
want sounds like a useful addition to the base system to me.

You could do it in a fairly gross hacky way, like the following. This is
entirly untested, might not work at all and will certainly be at the
cost of some alarming error messages:

   # mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.9_3
   # touch /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.9_3/+IGNOREME
   # chflags -R noschg /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.9_3

Hopefully it chucks a spanner in the works before the package system
actually installs anything.  Of course, you'll have to update that if
the perl5.8 port has any sort of version bump[*].

On second thoughts, writing a small wrapper around pkg_add(1) that greps
through the @pkgdep lines in the +CONTENTS file from the package tarball
and bails if it finds the wrong version of perl would be a much cleaner
approach.  The -M (--master) and -S (--slave) flags to pkg_add look
interesting in this context.

Since you need to specify a partition other than a, I think you may need to
use boot.config

There is already enough dependency information available to portupgrade to
know this.  portupgrade simply doesn't act on it.  However, as I already
informed Mr. Schwartz, portmaster -P does work.

Re: 8.0 on new hardware and a few errors, should I be worried?

On Saturday 27 February 2010 8:28:48 pm Dan Naumov wrote:
 Hello
 
 I've very recently finished installing 8.0-RELEASE on some new
 hardware and I noticed a few error messages that make me a bit uneasy.
 This is a snip from my dmesg:
 
 --
 acpi0: SMCI  on motherboard
 acpi0: [ITHREAD]
 acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
 acpi0: reservation of fee0, 1000 (3) failed
 acpi0: reservation of 0, a (3) failed

 What do these mean and should I worry about it? The full DMESG can be
 viewed here: http://jago.pp.fi/temp/dmesg.txt

You can ignore them.  FreeBSD creates two psuedo-devices on x86 called apic0 
and ram0.  Their sole job is to reserve the memory ranges used by APIC devices 
and system RAM to prevent those address ranges being reused by anything else 
(such as PCI BARs).  Many systems also reserve those ranges as a system 
resource via ACPI (or PnPBIOS for the non-ACPI case).  What is happening is 
that the ACPI system resource driver isn't able to reserve these ranges 
because they are already claimed by apic0 and ram0.  The important point is 
that some device claims them.  It doesn't really matter which one does.

Re: Adding slice on existing disk

Any suggestions on how to solve this?


I would suggest to use sysinstall oder sade for this task,
this is because I'm lazy. :-)

In the slice editor, you create a slice covering the space
you made free, or, if neccessary, you delete obsolete slices
prior to creating a new one.

In the label editor, you select the new slice (e. g. ad4s4)
and create a partition covering the whole slice. You set
the options UFS2+S Y (which means to use UFS2 file system
plus soft updates, and yes to newfs, so the partition will
be formatted), and set a mountpoint that you have already
created (e. g. /data).

Finally you confirm the settings and write them to the disk.

At this screen:

--
 FreeBSD Disklabel Editor

Disk: ad4   Partition name: ad4s4   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Disk: ad4   Partition name: ad4s3   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)

ad4s3enone   4096MB *
ad4s3fnone  20480MB *
ad4s3gnone  28125MB *



The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case):
C = CreateD = Delete   M = Mount pt.W = Write
N = Newfs OptsQ = Finish   S = Toggle SoftUpdates   Z = Custom Newfs
T = Toggle Newfs  U = Undo A = Auto DefaultsR = Delete+Merge

Use F1 or ? to get more help, arrow keys to select.

--

Unfortunately at this point when I choose W to write the changes I get 
the following error:


Unable to add /dev/ad4s3b as a swap device: the device is busy

This is the existing swap partition so I do not quite understand why I 
get this error


Then I choose OK and then I get:
Error mounting /dev/ad4s4d on /data : No such file or directory




This should work fine.

Of course, you can do the same using the command line tools,
in the same order:
1. create new slice,
2. create new partition inside slice,
3. format the partition, and finally
4. mount it.

Hi Len,

How much memory have you allocated to the VM?  This error indicates that
the compiler didn't have enough memory to compile that source file.
Also, check the output of this command:

sysctl -a | grep ^kern.maxd

I have a VM with 1.5 GB allocated to it, and I've added the following
line to /boot/loader.conf.local:

kern.maxdsize=1363148800

That gave me enough breathing room to use gcc (gcj, actually) to compile
some complex Java source files.

Hope that helps,
Greg

Set SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/hostname.mc and then run make

If you have not run make in /etc/mail yet, do that first.  That will  
create hostname.mc  In your case that may end up being domain.pk.mc


Add a line like this

define(`SMART_HOST', `[172.16.1.1]')


using the correct IP address for the mail server.  If the mail server  
has an FQDN use that without the square brackets


define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.server.com')

Run make

That should do it.

Hi Len,

How much memory have you allocated to the VM?  This error indicates that
the compiler didn't have enough memory to compile that source file.
Also, check the output of this command:

sysctl -a | grep ^kern.maxd

I have a VM with 1.5 GB allocated to it, and I've added the following
line to /boot/loader.conf.local:

kern.maxdsize=1363148800

That gave me enough breathing room to use gcc (gcj, actually) to compile
some complex Java source files.

Hope that helps,
Greg

thanks Greg, I though that might be a problem. from top:


Mem: 77M Active, 94M Inact, 57M Wired, 2956K Cache, 34M Buf, 7492K Free

I gave up on compile and did pkg_add -r.

thanks
Len

Re: how do I tell ports that perl5.8 should never be installed?

2010-03-01 Thread Matthew Seaman
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

On 01/03/2010 18:19:36, Matthew Seaman wrote:
 On second thoughts, writing a small wrapper around pkg_add(1) that greps
 through the @pkgdep lines in the +CONTENTS file from the package tarball
 and bails if it finds the wrong version of perl would be a much cleaner
 approach.  The -M (--master) and -S (--slave) flags to pkg_add look
 interesting in this context.

Arrgh.  This is so nearly workable.  Unfortunately, -M or -S don't play
nicely with options like -r or -v -- seems you're meant to have local
copies of all of the dependencies already downloaded and in a directory
on $PKG_PATH in that case.

Given that, then this script will reject any attempt to install a pkg
that depends on perl-5.8:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin ;
export PATH
IFS='   
' ; export IFS
umask 022

reject='^...@pkgdep perl-5.8'

TMPFILE=$(mktemp -t mypkgadd) || exit 1
trap rm $TMPFILE KILL HUP EXIT

if pkg_add -M ${...@} | sed -n -e '/^\/var\/tmp\/instmp/,$p' | \
tee $TMPFILE | grep $reject 21 /dev/null ; then
echo Error: found forbidden package dependency $reject
exit 1
fi

pkg_add -S  $TMPFILE  rm -rf $( head -1 $TMPFILE )

#
# That's All Folks!
#

Now, the only missing bit is 'pkg_add -r -S' not fetching dependency
pkgs from the remote  site.  Also options like -r and -v seem to cause
bogons to be emitted to stdout which screws up the -M action, but that
has been worked around.

Cheers,

Matthew

 Really ? It's bad to use custom flags to compile kernel ,
 why do you 
 think so ?
 I'd like to know more about this : )
 
 So setting optimize compiler flags is only useful for
 userland stuff ?
 
I laughed at your question because I remember reading somewhere that using 
aggressive optimization options is a good way to find compiler bugs. I think 
that extends of optimizations for new CPU architectures as well. 
I also heard kernel code avoids MMX instructions for some reason: it may have 
to do with interrupt handling (fewer registers=faster?). x86 (and AMD64) 
processors are backwards compatible, so you don't strictly need the latest 
instructions.

Lost audio after new Video card installation

2010-03-01 Thread Carmel
I was attempting to upgrade a Gateway GT5220 PC. The machine was
running FreeBSD-7.2 successfully. The sound system was functioning
correctly and gMplayer and Mplayer worked fine. The machine was using a
nVidia GeForce 6150 LE on-board card. I installed a nVidia GeForce GT
220 card. The old on-board card did not support DVI.

Now, the video is fine; however, there is no audio. Mplayer and
gMplayer both freeze when attempting to play or view anything.

I have no idea how to debug this. Since I did not touch the audio, I
cannot figure it out.

I did have a script that ran upon boot-up:

/sbin/sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
/sbin/sysctl dev.pcm.0.play.vchans=4
/sbin/sysctl dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans=4
/sbin/sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=16
mixer vol 100:100 pcm 100:100 speaker 100:100 line 100:100 mic 0:0 cd 100:100  
=rec mic

Previously, it ran without incident. Now, it produces this output:

sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.snd.pcm0.vchans'
dev.pcm.0.play.vchans: 4 - 4
sysctl: dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans: Operation not supported by device
hw.snd.maxautovchans: 16 - 16
mixer: unknown device: vol

This is from 'dmesg'

RAID10 doen't boot

2010-03-01 Thread Indiana Jones
Hi,
I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me out!
I have a box with a MB ASUS P5WDG2-WS Pro with two built-in SATA II RAID 
controllers 
(Intel ICH7R and Marvell 88SE614x).
I installed 4 HDD WD WD5002ABYS (500GB each) on the 4 SATA ports of the Intel 
ICH7R and using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager I created a RAID10 (Strip 
14KB, Size 
931.5GB, Status Normal, Bootable Yes) out of these 4 HDD.
Then in the BIOS I set the IDE Configuration to Configure SATA As [RAID], 
OnBoard 
Serial-ATA BOOTROM [Enabled] and disable the Marvell SATA controller, for I use 
only 
the Intel ICH7R.
 Then I successfully installed FreeBSD 7.1 on the RAID partition, ar0.
 
The installation completed successfully but the system persistently didn't boot 
and gave this 
error message:
 
F1    FreeBSD Default: F1 No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad
(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel

Thanks a lot,

Handbook Index

2010-03-01 Thread Fbsd1
I find it very hard to find the subject I am looking for in the 
handbook. The index only gets me to the general area in the handbook and 
then I have to (next page) through it looking for what I hope is there.


The Index really needs to be expanded to display each and every 
sub-section of all the major sections now in the index.


For example Installing from a ms/dos partition or splash screen usage.

These are both subjects in the handbook but are not in the index.
What good is am index that does not index its content?

The purpose of the index is to list all subjects documented in the 
handbook so the reader can skim through the index and click on the exact 
subject they want to read. Can not do that with the current handbook index.


So what do other people think?
Should I submit a Doc bug on this??

Mouse Issues

2010-03-01 Thread Programmer In Training
Resend: Sorry if this has appeared twice before. First time sent at
11:13 CST, sent a second time at 12:43 CST. Sending this one at
approximately 21:37 CST, CCing owner because this (posting new mails to
the list) is an on going problem I'm having. I would like to know what
the problem is so I can have some hand in trying to solve it.

Now on to the problem at hand.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. Just about 10 minutes (more
like several hours) ago my mouse locked up and stopped responding,
eventually forcing me to reboot because I couldn't get it to start
responding again. I even had to unplug it from the USB port (it is a USB
mouse) and plug it back in because it lost power for some reason. I
tried restarting hald and dbus, figuring that was the problem, I also
tried using sysinstall to configure the mouse to no luck. I have use of
my mouse again, but my scroll wheel is no longer being recognized. I've
once again tried using sysinstall and restarting hald and dbus to no avail.

It's a fairly old (about 6-8 years) Logitech optical mouse (if I'm not
mistaken, this is one with force feedback, but I'm not concerned about
that feature).

I was actually on the phone talking with someone while trying to check
up on some messages I had received via FaceBook when the mouse went out.
At first I had thought that my computer had locked because nothing
seemed to be responding, but a quick check showed me I could still
alt+1-5 through my workspaces (keyboard is also USB and apparently
suffered no such interruption).

Both mouse and kb are on a PCI USB 2.0 expansion port because the
builtins at the back of the box are on their way out (mobo is about as
old as the mouse).

Any ideas?

Mouse Issues

2010-03-01 Thread Programmer In Training
I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. Just about 10 minutes ago my
mouse locked up and stopped responding, eventually forcing me to reboot
because I couldn't get it to start responding again. I even had to
unplug it from the USB port (it is a USB mouse) and plug it back in
because it lost power for some reason. I tried restarting hald and dbus,
figuring that was the problem, I also tried using sysinstall to
configure the mouse to no luck. I have use of my mouse again, but my
scroll wheel is no longer being recognized. I've once again tried using
sysinstall and restarting hald and dbus to no avail.

It's a fairly old (about 6-8 years) Logitech optical mouse (if I'm not
mistaken, this is one with force feedback, but I'm not concerned about
that feature).

The applications I had running at the time were:

OOo 3.1.1
WindowMaker
FF 3.6
TB 3.0.1
Pidgin 2.6.5
Gkrellm2 with weather plugin

I was actually on the phone talking with someone while trying to check
up on some messages I had received via FaceBook when the mouse went out.
At first I had thought that my computer had locked because nothing
seemed to be responding, but a quick check showed me I could still
alt+1-5 through my workspaces (keyboard is also USB and apparently
suffered no such interruption).

Both mouse and kb are on a PCI USB 2.0 expansion port because the
builtins at the back of the box are on their way out (mobo is about as
old as the mouse).
