sendmail+saslauthd && verify=FAIL
Hello, I have to use SMTP with AUTH to my ISP, and do this with sendmail+saslauthd as described in the FreeBSD handbook; it works fine for me in 9-CURRENT and now 10-CURRENT; while digging for some other problem in the /var/log/maillog I struggled about the line: STARTTLS=client, relay=smtp.1blu.de., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL se below; what does the FAIL means exactly?

Which is pretty much normal for SSL certs used for mail transfer. Most mail servers use a self-signed certificate, because the important point is not to verify the identity of the other party but to protect the messages in transit against snooping. All that requires is a secure means of agreeing a symmetric session key between both parties, and the TLS handshake is the best available way of doing that. Verifying SSL keys between MTAs is mostly useful only within one organisation where the keys can be issued from one central authority, or between a group of tightly integrated organisations. With the advent of DNSSEC and things like the DANE project (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dane-protocol-12) that might change, but DNSSEC adoption is too patchy yet for it to be effective.

Geom Gate usage and perf
Hello, Just wondering if anyone is using geom gate and could help me with huge perf issue I am having. Right now the set up is such : 3 drives on the same machine A, exported through geom gate and connected to machine B. On machine B I format the drives as freebsd-vinum and mount them in stripping+mirroring. The end goal is to have High Availability drives. The setup is working, but the perf are awfull. Thinking It was due to software stripping and mirroring slowing the process down I tried with only one drive with a standard UFS format. The perf are still horrible. When the drive is mounted locally on machine A and I copy data with rsync from machine B; I have a steady 12MB/s data transfer rate. When the same drive is mounted with geom gate on machine B, the copy rate is around 6KB/s to 25KB/s The drive was tested for I/O problems twice, and nothing was found. Any idea or suggestion as to where the problem might come from ? Thanks for your help.

I haven't used ggate in years, but if I remember correctly I had performance issues as well until I significantly increased the send and receive buffers for ggatec and ggated. I think I never reached the performance I had hoped for, but at least it got good enough to be usable. Fabian signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Shouldn't GNU tar be ignoring /proc with --one-file-system?
I use Amanda to make nightly backups of a bunch of servers using GNU tar. However, gtar doesn't seem to respect its --one-file-system flag with /proc. Amanda runs a variation of this command: # /usr/local/bin/gtar --create --file - --directory / --one-file-system --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . > /dev/null /usr/local/bin/gtar: ./proc: file changed as we read it Before I file a bug report, can anyone think of a legitimate reason why gtar would be touching /proc at all?

Just a guess, really but: /proc is a file on /. /proc/* are files on /proc. The former is still on the root filesystem (if only as a directory stub to be used as a mountpoint), so reading it isn't leaving that filesystem. Reading anything *in* it would be. Just a thought.

Yup. You (or more properly, Amanda) _told_ it to. See the output of 'mount(8)' for the names of all the mounted filesystems on your machine. *NOTE*WELL* that '/proc' is *not* a separate filesystem. It is merely a _directory_ with a bunch of 'special' files in it. The 'error message' is accurate -- but it is _just_ a 'warning', and -- in *this* circumstance -- _totally_ innocuous.

Re: freebsd tuning
Kes,
First, understand that the Realtek (re0) cards have significant
network problems when trying to saturate a network. If you have the
ability try switching to a Intel card (em0) for a lot better
performance, lower interrupts and less CPU usage.
Why interrupts are not handled by more CPUs than one? This is probably
the way the driver was built. It is a single processes which is using
the "big lock" method. This keeps all activity for the drive bound to
a single CPU core.
or One CPU handle interrupts from one card, so I need two NICs?... Two
nics would be a very good idea. You will see better performance a less
IRQ splitting.
Why it is lowered by twice? The CPU load is when the CPU is busy and
can not be used by any other processes. This does _not_ mean that
processing is going on, just that the CPU is unavailable. IRQ's are
like locks and they keep the cpu from being use and hold on to the
cpu. So, irq256 is holding onto the cpu, but not actually processing
any data. This is not very efficient as you can see.
Try changing cards to an Intel variety and use two nics in total; one
for incoming connections and one for outgoing. On the network
performace page we specify the cards we are currently using. Intel
PRO/1000 GT PCI PWLA8391GT can be found on newegg for as little as $31
each.
Hope this helps.

Re: 8.2-RELEASE-p4
Is it not possible/not intended for kernels to be updated via freebsd-update?

In these sort of cases, it's not necessary to reboot, just to restart any long running processes (if any) affected by the update. The security advisory should have more detailed instructions about exactly what to do. (The -p2 to -p3 update was like this, but the -p3 to -p4 update definitely did affect the kernel so a reboot was necessary.) I'm not confident that you are correct here. See above. Either p3-p4 did not touch the kernel, or the OP has a legitimate question. Interesting. I based what I said on the text of the security advisories: http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:04.compress.asc http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc Specifically the 'Corrected:' section near the top. I think it's clear that FreeBSD-SA-11:04.compress (Corrected in 8.2-RELEASE-p3) doesn't involve anything in the kernel but FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix (Corrected in 8.2-RELEASE-p4) is entirely within the kernel code. Except those advisories aren't telling the whole story. Lets look at r226023 in SVN. That's the revision quoted in the 11.05 advisory. The log for newvers.sh in http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.2/sys/conf/newvers.sh?view=log&pathr ev=226023 says that the patches in RELEASE-p4 were not actually the security fix -- rather they fixed a problem revealed by the actual security fix, which was applied simultaneously with the patches in FreeBSD-SA-11:04.compress. 11.05 was committed in two blobs spanning -p3 and -p4. So, the good news is that if you have at least 8.2-RELEASE-p3 then you don't have any (known) security holes. However if you don't have the patches in 8.2-RELEASE-p4 then linux apps run under emulation will crash if they use unix domain sockets. The flash plugin for FireFox being the most prominent example as I recall. Now the updates for -p4 certainly should have touched the kernel, and certainly should have resulted in an updated uname string[*]. There should also be a note about -p4 in /usr/src/UPDATING. Starting to wonder if the -p4 patches are actually available via freebsd-update(8) -- could they have been omitted because it wasn't actually a security fix? Odd that no one would have commented in a whole month if so.

I just went to an 8.1 system as root and did: umount /proc and /proc dismounted leaving an empty directory in route. I then went mount /proc and /proc was mounted again, using the parameters in /etc/fstab. Surely that means that going from / to /proc is "crossing a filesystem boundary". To me that suggests it is a separate filesystem, and typically /proc is filled with stuff that you wouldn't want to recurse through, so I wouldn't think it a good candidate for special casing as non-mounted.

There will be some bug fixes yet to go in, but it is unlikely these will be show-stoppers. RC2 is not "unsafe" and there's no reason not to install it for learning or evaluation or development purposes. I wouldn't advise using it for anything your livelihood depends on though. Plan on upgrading to -RELEASE as soon as possible if you do play with -RC2. However, you're unlikely to have a pleasant experience if you've got dodgy RAM in your machine. All bets are off if the computer cannot rely on getting the correct data back from RAM. I wouldn't even try booting up a live CD unless the memory problems have been fixed.

Okay, here goes. :-) I was loading a decent but somewhat older Dell laptop with FreeBSD for a friend who bailed since he didn't want to bother configuring Xorg. Since this is fairly trivial these days, I said, "sure, I'd do that for you" - silly me... :-( Anyway, do to the user requirements, I found it necessary to load a version 9.x system on this laptop. I burned this version to DVD: FreeBSD-9.0-RC2-i386-dvd1.iso The laptop had no trouble booting from this DVD. Unfortunately, I forgot about the new bsdinstall program.

I will try disabling "ACPI" but this wasn't necessary for the install of 8.2-RELEASE from CD which, as I said, went in just as I expected. I would not think that much would have changed in 9.0RC2 in this area. Maybe I am wrong about that. The second URL describes the Manual vs. Guided install and partition section of bsdinstall. I had read this several days before the 9.0RC2 install attempt from DVD. It seemed pretty reasonable, but a little bit different from sysinstall. Was worth a try. What I saw when I selected Manual partitioning, was a complete tree: ad0 ad0s1 [FreeBSD Boot Manager from 8.2] ad0s1a [was my previous root partition] ad0s1d [was my previous swap partition] ad0s1d [was my previous /var partition] ad0s1e [was my previous /usr partition] or something very close to that, missing only my mount points from my previous 8.2-STABLE system. I added the mount points (this is the area where I thought bsdinstall had some weaknesses in the "User Experience") and went on after selecting "Finish". The problem occurred much later after I selected all four install files. When I said the equivalent of "Go", it began the process of loading them off the DVD, checking their checksums, and compressing them prior to installing them.

Start over again, wipe the disk clean (ie: delete > all slices)and re-allocate your slices with larger space allocations. Thanks. While this is an older Dell laptop as I said earlier, it still has a decent sized drive. And I am following the guidelines in the handbook at the beginning of section 2.6.5 Creating Partitions Using Disklabel: / (root) is 4 GB swap is 4 GB /var is 4 GB /usr is the rest of the disk - in this case 99 GB Bottom line, I think this is sufficient - it was for 8.2-RELEASE and -STABLE. Plus the handbook says "at least 8 GB" for /usr. Oh, and this is a "dangerously dedicated" drive housing only FreeBSD. That is, I'm using the entire disk for FreeBSD. Thanks again. Or, perhaps you are saying 4 GB is insufficient for /var? Since it seems to be complaining about not being able to write to "var/".
