Postmap Issue
Hi All,
Has anyone seen this error when running postmap on FreeBSD 8.X?
mail# postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libmysqlclient.so.18 not found,
required by postmap
If not, does anyone have some advice on better places to look? Google
search has been fruitless.
P.S. mySQL is installed, and postfix was installed with mySQL support.
Thanks!
Mark

Re: Postmap Issue
First things first.
_PLEASE_ !!! Do not post from an account that includes these _stupid_ and
*LEGALLY*WORTHLESS* quote disclaimers unquote. They are not worth the
electrons they're printed on.
They _do_ accomplish ONE thing -- they make the sender look like an idiot,

are) from offering helpful information. People too uninformed to recognize
that such nonsense is being attached to their messages, or too incompetent

P.S. mySQL is installed, and postfix was installed with mySQL support.
This may be a 'version mismatch' between an existing 'libmysqlclient.so'
and what postmap expects run a find(1) for libmysqlclient.so**' and
see what it reports, an in what directories. use option '-ls' so you can
see permissions as well as mere file existeance.
See also 'man ldconfig'.

There are two ways you can get this problem: 1) Incompatible version of MySQL client installed: If you use binary packages from the FreeBSD ftp servers, they will be compiled against mysql55 shared libs nowadays. If you instal from ports, it will automatically link against whatever version of MySQL client you have installed. However, if you had installed an older version of MySQL it wouldn't automatically get upgraded to MySQL 5.5.x -- that you'ld have to do manually. So updating via pkgs could lead to the situation you see -- except you should have run into it about 6 months ago... As I recall, the MySQL 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade is not particularly onerous, but if you're upgrading MySQL server at the same time, you need to take the DB down while you're doing the updates, and you need to run the 'mysql-after-upgrade' stuff to applie various changes to the standard DB schema. 2) Correct version of mysql-client installed, but ld.so can't find the libmysqlclient shlib So, assuming you've got mysql-client-5.5.x installed -- The MySQL ports install their shlibs into /usr/local/lib/mysql/ and add that to the default list of paths for ld.so to search. That should be automatic, but maybe something went wrong. What does: ldconfig -r | grep 'search directories' return? How about ldconfig -r | grep 'mysql' ? If /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 is missing from the above, then you can fix things up by: ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql Cheers Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

There's been a lot of work gone into FreeBSD network stack to add capabilities that OpenBSD simply doesn't have -- mostly to do with fine-grained locking, multiprocessing support and virtualization -- all of which makes the importing process pretty non-trivial.

Run different kernel subsystems with different priorities
Hi! Q1: Is it possible to set different NICE priorities on different kernel subsystems? For example, can I prioritize the interrupt handling of the NIC bge1 ([irq23: bge1]) over the interrupt handling of NIC bge0 ([irq22: bge0])? ...and can I make the usb subsystem ([usb0], [usb1], [usb2], [usb3]) less prioritized than pretty much everything else? When running 'ps faxuwl', I see that all processess on my system is running with NICE value 0. Q2: When assigning custom NICE priotities to my userland processes, what levels should one use? Is there any recommendation to follow? If I intend to have three levels, high, medium and unimportant, should I use the values 0 10 20 or 0 1 2or 0 50 100 or -1 0 1or -1 5 10 or something different? /Elof ___ 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

UFS journal size
Quoting the manpage: -s jsize Specifies size of the journal if only one provider is used for both data and journal. The default is one gigabyte. Size should be chosen based on provider's load, and not on its size; recommended minimum is twice the size of the physical memory installed. It is not recommended to use gjournal for small file systems (e.g.: only few gigabytes big). My question is: if I have 4 or 8 GB of RAM should I create 8 or even 16 GB journals?..

A journal that's about the same size as the actual filesystem in question and on the same physical device is not really going to get you any advantages. If it's mostly going to be read rather than written, then you wouldn't fill up that size of journal in any case. The 'twice physical RAM' advice is all about achieving maximum performance on large filesystems with lots of data writes: if write performance is not actually a limiting factor, then you could get away with a much smaller or even no journal at all. You might just as well use plain UFS+Softupdates. Softupdates to provide the meta-data ordering feature, so that if you do crash and need to fsck the filesystem, there's not going to be any really nasty stuff to fix.

Using RPM to extract file

I tried following the instruction given on the site for extracting the files; however, that only issued a warning about an incorrect operating system. Perhaps someone has some advice on how to go about this. I contacted Brother in regards to this but they said they only support Windows (obviously), Linux and Debian.

Blacklisting DOS IPs
I'm currently using a pfSense box as a gateway and I was recently victim of a DNS DOS attack. That made me think how I could blacklist those IPs automatically. I looked through the pf documentation and the thing that seemed more like it was the max-src-conn-rate option, but then I realized that it's useless with UDP when some hosts send you vast amounts of packets. I'm thinking about making an script using awk and pftop output to watch for states that have more than 1Mb of traffic (regular DNS queries aren't that big) and put those hosts in a table for blocking. My question is if it is there some other more efficient solution for this problem.

You are probably missing that gjournal does full data journaling, not just metadata as is more common with other systems, so you need a journal which can hold *at least* everything you can hold in RAM, and then twice as much since one half may be replaying while other is being filled up. Even this is an estimate since it's heavily load-dependant. Or you can wait for 9.0 with metadata journaling. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

My experience has shown that speed of the underlying filessystem has a huge impact on the required size of the journal. I have a system running hardware RAID-10 on a 3Ware SATA controller. On a 100G partition, rsync would regularly cause a panic until I got my journal up above 10G. This particular host has only 1G of RAM and a single 3.4GHz P4 CPU. Sizing this particular box using gjournal was painful until I got the journal sizes large enough. It turns out the journals had to be so large (for the infrequent write burst) that a significant amount of disk was chewed up for journals that were mostly unused. If I had to do it over again, I would have not used gjournal and simply used softupdates.

FreeBSD 9-BETA2 on a Dell Latitude D630
Good Day; I wish to post a successful installation of FreeBSD 9.0 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop. Base installation was from binaries on the -amd64 dvd.iso. Xorg and gnome from ports fetched via portsnap on 09/18/11. csup'd kernel and userland source yesterday. This is a fresh built custom kernel without debugging, SCSI or RAID modules. I do not know what this means 'GEOM_PART: Partition 'ada0p3' not suitable for kernel dumps (wrong type?)'. I am still investigating why Perl 5.12.4 dumped core at the end but otherwise the machine seems to be operating well. # dmesg | more Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.

Dynamic Window Manager install with patch(es)
Hi all, First time poster to the lists! Using dwm, loving the minimalism and it's forcing me to learn stuff the hard way which is all good. But I can't seem to figure out how to apply a patch to it. According to the instructions listed here: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/ I figured I'm to use the tarball method as that's how ports fetches dwm. I tried applying the method to /usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/work/dwm-5.9 but it didn't work (malformed patch). I've used ubuntu for about a year but for all intents and purposes I'm still a beginner with UNIX-like, and I've never used patch or diff before. But, I remembered that these are ports and wonder if these patches would work on FreeBSD source? Would I have to apply the patch to the tarball while it's in distfiles before it gets 'ported' to freebsd? Or am I talking crazy? Any help would be appreciated. andy ___ 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

Reading DLT tapes with very large block sizes.
Hi all, I've been given a set of DLT tapes written with data in fixed 8Mb blocks. I have been unable to convince any OS to read these tapes, and yet I need to read them. Most tape drivers refuse to work with block sizes that are even a fraction of this blocksize. The tapes were created on a Linux machine several years ago using the AMANDA tape backup system. Can anyone offer davice on how I might go about reading these tapes. I'm fine with patching code and installing an altered sa driver, but I lack sufficient knowledge of how the scsi tape driver functions. I'm entirely willing and able to build a machine specifically to read these tapes. Any help, clues, guidance, etc would be wonderful.
