Re: Media Packages Vs. Ports
On 25/09/2010 01:10:57, Devin Teske wrote: HINT: If you created the package from the ports tree, you can say make describe in the package's top-level port directory (e.g. /usr/ports/pkg_origin/some_pkg). This will produce a line that can be added to the INDEX file without much modification, if any. Not quite. The make describe output differs from the INDEX entry lines in two important ways: * make describe only includes the immediate dependencies of the port. The INDEX contains the sum, recursively, of the ports dependencies, the dependences of the dependencies, etc. etc. There are some subtleties to do with RUN_DEPENDS or LIB_DEPENDS, compared to BUILD_DEPENDS. * The dependency entries produced in the make describe output are directories in the ports tree, whereas the the INDEX uses the corresponding package names. eg. /usr/ports/www/apache22 vs (at the moment) apache-2.2.16_1 When sysinstall is in the process of installing the packages, it first makes sure that all the run-dependencies (listed in the INDEX file for that package) are installed. If a package that is listed in the `run-deps' field is not installed, sysinstall installs it before installing the requested package. After installing any dependent packages (recursively), sysinstall then unpacks the requested package and reads its packing-list (the `+CONTENTS' file within the package tarball). All package dependencies listed inside the package's packing-list MUST be installed before-hand or else sysinstall will generate an error. Therefore, all package dependencies that appear in the packing list MUST be present in the `run-deps' field of the INDEX file. There reverse is not true, however. A dependency may appear in the INDEX file and not in the package's packing-list. It's pkg_add(1) that does the dependency chasing in general -- and it doesn't need access to an INDEX file: pkg dependencies are recorded in the pkg file itself, and pkg_add knows how to fetch the dependencies from the same place the original pkg file came from. See pkg_add(1), particulary the description of the '-r' option and the ENVIRONMENT section. === 3. THE FREEBSD INDEX FILE FORMAT 3a.

Problems mounting nfs from freebsd to Mac.
I've got an nfs server that's refusing to mount one client - via one route - and it's driving me crazy. The server is running 8.1-RELEASE, exporting a collection of zfs file systems. All the file systems are exported with the exact same flags. The clients are either FreeBSD or OSX boxes. Most of them work fine. One OSX box - updated to the latest snow leopard while trying to fix this - gets permission denied when it tries to mount the interesting fie systems. But only when using it's wired connection. If it connects via wifi to the same router (a cisco WRT610N running dd-wrt) everything works fine. As far as I know, there are only three reasons for an NFS server to refuse a mount request: 1) The exports file is borked somehow, 2) The server insists that the client use a privileged port, or 3) The IP address the request is coming from is disallowed. #1 isn't it - the file systems mount fine on other boxes. And they mount fine on the problem box via Wifi. #2 shouldn't be it - I'm running the server with -n turned on, and the mount works via wifi. #3 seems logical, but I only have one network enabled, and it's a *.0/25. The working addresses include .96, and .106, while the failing address is .105. So I'm not sure what's going on here. Running mountd with a -d flag generates no output at all when the request is denied. This makes me think I'm not looking in the right place. Relevant entries from rc.conf (nothing really fancy): nfs_server_enable=yes nfs_server_flags=-u -t -n 4 -h $MY_IP mountd_enable=yes mountd_flags=-r -n -h $MY_IP rpcbind_enable=YES rpcbind_flags=-h $MY_IP rpc_lockd_enable=YES rpc_lockd_flags=-h $MY_IP rpc_statd_enable=YES rpc_statd_flags=-h $MY_IP So, questions: if mountd isn't the issue (though it's issuing the denied messages), what is? Is there some reason I've overlooked for the permissions to be denied? Anything I can do to get more information out of mountd (or whatever is causing the problem)? Any other things I might try?

Unable to access CDROM device to play music
I am using FreeBSD 8.1 / amd64 with Platform Version 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1) if that matters.Before updating my system to FreeBSD 8.1 / amd64, I had the 7.3 /32 bit version installed.

Previously, I was able to play CD Audio files without any problem. The cdcontrol program worked fine and I was able to play music files while using KDE using its audio player.

Re: Mount order for ZFS, jails, and nullfs
From owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org Fri Sep 24 11:02:59 2010

Subject: Mount order for ZFS, jails, and nullfs
In jails, I'd like a local ZFS /, a read-only nullfs-mounted /usr, and a
local /usr/local. (I'd also have read-only nullfs-mounted /bin, /lib,
/libexec, but let's forget about that for now.)
This way, I can upgrade the master /usr once, in one place, and have all
jails inherit it. And my dear jail inmates can install anything in
/usr/local (such as their favourite packages/ports).
I.e., things should look like this:
/myjail/zfs
/myjail/usr nullfs ro
/myjail/usr/local zfs
There is no problem to make this happen by issuing a handful of commands
manually after boot, but I cannot seem to get it to work automatically,
with existing boot mechanism. The problem is that the mount of /usr
will be attempted before ZFS has mounted /myjail, the jail's root.
ZFS maintains its own mount table. It is possible to disable the
automated mounting in ZFS by specifying the pseudo mountpoint legacy,
and then--according to the FreeBSD manual--mount it with mount(8).
Unfortunately, FreeBSD's mount seems unable to perform mounts of ZFS
volumes.
How can I achieve the result I want after a reboot?
if the traditional way doesn't work for you, the solution is don't use
the traditional way'. grin?
Seriously.
For the stuff that has to mount _after_ zfs is running (i.e. '/myjail/usr'),
mark them as 'noauto' in the fstab.
Do the 'equivalent' for any zfs fs that mounts _below_ those points (i.e.,
'/myjail/user/local').
That way the normal stages in the boot process will _not- mount them
prematurely.
THEN, add a boot script that requires zfs' and wherever the actual zfs
mounts are done. In -that- script, insert 'manual' commands, _in_the_order_
you need things to happen in.
It is advisable to drop notes in /etc/fstab and the zfs equivalent, that
these filesystems are automatically mounted by the {mumble} script. Such
notes save _lots_ of hair-tearing in the future, when you have to trouble-
shoot something you don't remember the details of doing.

Re: Problems mounting nfs from freebsd to Mac.
From owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org Sat Sep 25 03:29:33 2010 Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 04:01:18 -0400 From: Mike Meyer mike.w.me...@gmail.com To: questi...@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Problems mounting nfs from freebsd to Mac. I've got an nfs server that's refusing to mount one client - via one route - and it's driving me crazy. First question, are you _SURE_ that it's a server-side problem? I under- stand that things are failing in one situation and not others, but there are about -five- possible causations, only one of which is a server-side NFS configuration. The server is running 8.1-RELEASE, exporting a collection of zfs file systems. All the file systems are exported with the exact same flags. The clients are either FreeBSD or OSX boxes. Most of them work fine. One OSX box - updated to the latest snow leopard while trying to fix this - gets permission denied when it tries to mount the interesting fie systems. But only when using it's wired connection. If it connects via wifi to the same router (a cisco WRT610N running dd-wrt) everything works fine. That elimintes NFS on the client, and -most- of the NFS config on the server. As far as I know, there are only three reasons for an NFS server to refuse a mount request: 1) The exports file is borked somehow, 2) The server insists that the client use a privileged port, or 3) The IP address the request is coming from is disallowed. There _are_ others, depending on how access controls are specified in the exports file. #1 isn't it - the file systems mount fine on other boxes. And they mount fine on the problem box via Wifi. #2 shouldn't be it - I'm running the server with -n turned on, and the mount works via wifi. #3 seems logical, but I only have one network enabled, and it's a *.0/25. The working addresses include .96, and .106, while the failing address is .105. So I'm not sure what's going on here. Running mountd with a -d flag generates no output at all when the request is denied. This makes me think I'm not looking in the right place. First thing, what does 'showmount -a', run on the misbehaving client show? And are there differences, depending on being on the wired vs wireless link? Check how the client resolves the server hostname on both the wireless and wired links. make sure the _server_ name (in the form used in the nfs mount) is resolving in the same way -- to the same address -- when the client is on thee wireless and wired links. (an 'unqualified' hostname, and a lack of a default domain in the wired setup _could_ cause what you are seeing. Check to make sure you've got network connectivity both ways on both the wired and wireless links. Does traceroute work in both directions on both links? does it show the _same_names_? You've say you've got a WRT610N in the middle of things. Is it actually playing _router_ on all ports, or switch/hub on the lan side with routing on the external interface. If it's actually -routing- on all ports, check _both_ the client and server routing tables to make sure they're pointing in the right plac, when the client is connected on both paths. Also double-check the router itself for any access-control and/or filtering rules. If nothing has shown up so far, an obvious next step is to look at the data 'on the wire' between the machines. e.g., tcpdump/etherfind/netshark etc. ___ 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
