Vinum Bootstrap Help
Hi All, I've been trying to get a bootstrapped vinum volume up and running on a 5.4 release system (generic kernel, minimal install), based this How-to: http://devel.reinikainen.net/docs/how-to/Vinum/ But I've managed to run into a problem that no amount of Googling, reading the archive of this list, or reading the manual seems help me get by. Basically, I have Vinum configured fine and can successfully run: vinum > create -f /etc/vinum.conf The Vinum volume is all fine and a vinum > list shows no problems. I can also successfully do a fsck on each of the mounts, which are: / /home /tmp /var However, it appears that the vinum config isn't being saved, as rebooting the machine can't find the vinum root partition, and after manually booting to the pre-vinum root (ufs:ad0s1a) running vinum > list shows no volume information. During the reboot, vinum appears to load ok, but it can't find the root (as shown by the last bit of the dmesg): vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 The relevant config files look like this: /etc/fstab #DeviceMountpoint FStypeOptionsDumpPass# /dev/vinum/swapnoneswap sw00 /dev/vinum/root /ufsrw 1 1 /dev/vinum/home/homeufsrw2 2 /dev/vinum/tmp /tmpufs rw2 2 /dev/vinum/var /var ufsrw2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdromcd9660 ro,noauto 00 /boot/loader.conf vinum_load="YES" vinum.autostart="YES" Any suggestions as to how to sort this would be greatly appreciated.

Ports Error
Hi, I recently upgraded a system to 4.9R and now receive the following error when using the "make install clean" comment on any port in /usr/ports (and also using package installation in sysinstall): There is a COMMENTFILE in this port. COMMENTFILEs have been deprecated in favor of COMMENT variables. Please, rectify this. *** Error code 1 I've looked around online and there seems to be very little info about this (in English anyway). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Upgrade Woes
Hi Lowell, Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go and see what happens (I take it the AGP module isn't necessary to get a display on the machine?)

Upgrade Woes
Hi All, I've been running 4.7R on a HP Netserver E60 for some time now, however in trying to upgrade this to 4.9R I've run into a problem that is unfortunately beyond my troubleshooting abilities. Using the ISO disc, I've booted up 4.9 and gone through the upgrade process successfully. However, once the machine reboots after the CD has been removed, the boot process hangs on the following stage: agp0 mem0-0xfff at device 0.0 on pci0 Can anyone give me any guideance on what might be causing this?

Email Auto-responders with Vacation
Hi, I'm trying to get an email auto-responder working using vacation, but have hit a bit of a wall. I have the .forward file in the user's home directory containing: \mikew, "|/usr/bin/vacation -r 1 mikew" (Where mikew is the login for this user) I have a .vacation.msg file available in the same directory, and have also verified the path /usr/bin/vacation is correct. But no vacation message... =/ Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Regards, Ben Craig. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: NAT Help
Thanks again for the help. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to have worked either. I've entered: ifconfig fxp0 alias x.x.x.x This simply replaces the existing fxp0 settings from rc.conf with the alias settings (resulting in a loss of network connectivity. I've removed the original alias0 - aliasx lines from rc.conf so the only fxp0 line is now for the main IP address for the interface: ifconfig_fxp0="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" Regards, Ben Craig. --- "Alvaro Rosales R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > that's the problema , you have to add the ifconfig > alias , manually, I had > the saame problem , trying to add the aliases in > rc.conf , so I had to add > the aliases manually, then you have to kill natd > and restart it manually > somefing like > ifconfig rl1 alias x.x.x.x (a free external ipo > address) > > and then I run > killall natd > > natd -redirect_address internal ip x.x.x.x > -interface rl1 > Then ou'll have NAT running, youd better create a > script in rc.local to > load this commands at boot time. > Good Look = -- Benjamin Craig Executive Producer Cinemagine Limited __ Do You Yahoo!?

NAT Help
Hi, I'm trying to get NAT up and running on my FreeBSD 4.7R gateway machine and have hit a bit of a wall. Have looked around online for FAQs and other help and haven't really been able to isolate the problem this way. If anyone can offer advice, I would be most appreciative. I have a FreeBSD machine configured as a gateway for a LAN. The BSD machine has two NICs (fxp0 and vr0). fxp0 is connected to a router via ethernet, which in turn is connected to the Net via ADSL. The router is very basic and doesn't have all of the functions we require, hence the BSD box being the gateway. vr0 is connected to a hub for the LAN, which all uses internal 10.0.0.x IP addressing. The FreeBSD box provides DHCP for this range. All of this is working correctly. We also have a couple of external IPs which I would like to map onto a couple of servers on the private LAN, and herein lies the problem. I just can't seem to get NAT working to redirect these IPs from the BSD machine to the relevant internal IP. On the BSD machine, I've compiled a kernel with the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE The following options exist in rc.conf: gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="fxp0" natd_flags="-redirect_address 10.0.0.2 x.x.x.x -redirect_address 10.0.0.3 x.x.x.x" (where x.x.x.x is of course the external IP). rc.conf also contains the following ipconfig settings for the external IP addresses (of which there are 5). ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_fxp0_alias3="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_fxp0_alias4="inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.248" alias0 is used as the IP address for the gateway machine and my intention is to redirect traffic on the remaining four addresses to other machines on the LAN. This is where it falls down and I'm stumped. Regards, Ben Craig. = -- Benjamin Craig Executive Producer Cinemagine Limited __ Do You Yahoo!?
