Questions about adding new disk
Hello, I've just bought two new Seagate SATA drives and a Promise TX4 SATA300 controller. The disks and the controller is working fine but I'm a little confused how I should setup them. First of all I'm running FreeBSD 6.1. The disks are two 320 GB drives who I'm going to use for storage. Backups, movies, music etc. I've read the handbook about adding new disks and I've got them setup but here are my questions. 1. Should I use soft updates or not on the new disks? The handbook doesn't mention anything about using -U to newfs to setup soft updates. The installer is using it on the system disks but is it a bad idea to use it on storage disks or why isn't it mention in the handbook? 2. Is it a bad idea to use tunefs -m 0 ? I don't need any space reserved for root at the disks but the man page mentions that I'll loose performance when using -m 0. Will it be so much that the extra space isn't worth the performance loss? 3. Should I use tunefs -o space or time? I guess space is the way to go but again how much of a performance loss is there?

Mount permissions on disk
Hello, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere. I've tried both google and searching the mailing list. Anyway what I would like to know is how I change permissions on a mount. I've got a new disk and I would like to mount it with the permission 775 so that my user, in wheel, can write to the root of the disk too. If I remember correctly in 4.x all you had to do was to set 775 on the dir you use as mount point but in FreeBSD 6.1 this doesn't seem to work. So is there any other way I can set 775 as permission on my mount? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_SAPPLY: No such process
Thanks. That did the trick. Strange that I couldn't set it manually from the command line. Anyway it works perfect when I use rc.conf and start it with the jail rc.d script.

jls shows dead jails too?
I'm setting up a few jails on my FreeBSD 6.0 box and when I run jls to list my jails it shows all my started jails. The problem is that when I kill a jail with kill -TERM -1, thats what the man page tells me to use, it still is listed when I run jls. Why is that and is there any way to clear the jls list?

Disable loader.conf when booting? Can't boot because of it ..
Hi, I really need some help here. I'm running a raid0, with vinum, and read the errata about adding geom_vinum_load=YES to loader.conf because vinim_start=YES in rc.conf paniced my system when booting. I'm running 5.3-RELEASE and the errata mentioned that one too. So I added gvinum to loader.conf and now I can't boot. All I get is a lot of scrolling text that says something about gvinum error, can't remember the exact message but it can't boot anyway. Tried single mode to delete this line but can't boot into single mode either. Tried disable-module geom_vinum in the loader but that didn't help either. It loaded the module anyway. So I'm really desperate here .. is there any way to tell my system to completly ignore loader.conf when booting so that I at least can access the system and edit loader.conf? Please CC to me if you reply. -- Daniel Johansson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make: don't know how to make when trying to make world for a jail
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5, updated it today without any problems at all but I'm getting errors when I run make world, after everything was cleaned, didn't knew I was going to build a jail so I cleaned. I completly removed obj and ran make clean and cleandir twice so no old files are left. I can run just make world I builds without any problems but when I run it with the path to my jail it fails.

I don't think it has to do with importance. Rather it has to do with correctness. Jails use the running kernel. You have to rebuild kernel and world together to prevent them from getting out-of-sync (easy to test with top). Hence, you also have to rebuild your jail-world when you rebuild your kernel.

Yeah, thank you. I changed the cronjob file so that they run periodic weekly on diffrent days. So I hope I won't get any more panics now. I don't have the time or energy to bebug the kernel atm, maby later but thanks anyway. Anyone else uses jails and noticed the same behaviour?

Re: My server gets kernel panic every 7th day
Yeah, it has been rock solid. But if the psu was about to break wouldn't the panics be a little more random? As it is right now it get the exact same panic at the exact same time every week.

Unlikely or not, I've seen it happen, and there's no other likely candidate since you said you haven't updated the machine in a year, and it's been stable under the same load until now.

Re: My server gets kernel panic every 7th day
Hmm okay, sounds like it could be the PSU after all. Thanks. I think I will try to switch it for another one. By the way is there any way to find out what and why find is ran at that time every night to saturday? I would like to find the script/cron/periodic that run it and see if I can make the kernel panic happen again. Then I don't have to wait until next saturday to know if it was the PSU or not. I've searched in /etc/periodic, it's none of my crons that runs find, and found some scripts that runs find but I'm not really familiar with how the periodic scripts works. I need to find the script that runs find every night to saturday at 04:19:57.

We have a place in CA that assembles our systems, and put it on net and we test them before they are sent. One time they build it, we did all sorts of tests, but once we started to build perl on it it would die. They swapped out everything, and when they got to the power supply, perl would build. The next time they built a system, it stopped in the same exact part of the perl build. It turned out they went to re-use the same power supply. So, I guess all I'm saying is.. It can happen. :) Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: My server gets kernel panic every 7th day
Yeah, I've ran locate.updatedb ten times in a row, rebuilt kernel + world twice and done a cat /dev/uranom tmp for some Gigs and nothing makes it crash :/ On Sat, 18 Dec 2004 12:46:45 -0800, Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Dec 18, 2004 at 09:12:58PM +0100, Daniel Johansson wrote: Yeah, it has been rock solid.

You could probably trigger it yourself by loading the machine in a similar way.

USB-console?
Hello dear FreeBSD users ;) I've got a small question. Scince more and more companies take away the old serialport on all new computers that the sell today we won't be able to admin our servers with serialconsole, when one don't have network etc. and don't want to have a screen + keybord next to the computer. So what I was thinking about was if there exists or is plans on developing USB-console or anything similar. Consoleaccess over USB. Sure would be very handy and cool but maby that is not possible/wantable to do? -- Daniel Johansson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
write a tar-archive to a ide tapedrive
Hi, I've got a IDE-tapedrive and it is recognised by FreeBSD 4.8. I haven't tried to use it before but I started to play with it today, but it doesn't work very well, I think. I have read the handbook but I can't say that it helped me very much. Some info about the box and tapedriver: FreeBSD donnex.net 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #2: Fri Apr 18 13:12:41 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/donnex i386 ast0: TAPE HP COLORADO 8GB at ata1-master PIO4 When I insert a tape it starts to rewind the tape, I think, atleast I get a lot of noice from the tapedriver. When I try to run mt rewind I don't get any output and I can't hear that the tape gets rewinded. Is this normal or bad? [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /dev] mt -f /dev/ast0 rewind [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /dev] I can get some info about the tapedriver so I think it works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /dev] mt -f /dev/ast0 status Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none -available modes- 0:default variable 0none 1:default variable 0none 2:default variable 0none 3:default variable 0none - File Number: 0 Record Number: 0Residual Count 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /dev] Anyway when I try to write a tar archive to the tapedrive I get erros.
