Freebsd without swap?

2008-05-19 Thread Drew Sanford

Hi,
I lost a hard drive in one of my machines here. Fortunately, the only 
thing on it was /tmp and a random storage partition I used as a dropoff 
point for backups before they get ftp'd to another machine. And...my 
swap partition. So how dangerously am I living to run this machine 
without any swap until I get my hands on a replacement drive? Frankly, 
it doesn't eat into the swap much at all on regular basis. Thanks for 
the help.

  Getting same thing, fresh install of 7.0 [cvsupped to rc2?], latest or
not latest portsnap, I found it was the 'mhash.so' extension that was
causing php to segfault - did portsnap update, and rebuilt all php
stuff, still does same thing - have not tried it for last several weeks,
so could be fixed by now...I did cvsup to latest sources...
my emails were subjected apache coredump with 'mhash' php extension
enabled - with mhash disabled, php works fine now.  Will try and
buildworld/reinstall php with the latest 7 sometime soon.

Good find Peter, I've got exactly the same system config at this point, 
and disabling mhash fixed it as well.

Hi,
do you use precompiled port or you built your own?


Built from ports, as opposed to using a binary package, if that's what 
you're asking.

7.0RC1 - more panics, hardware?

2008-02-03 Thread Drew Sanford
Ok guys, frustrating one here. I installed 7.0RC1 on the system that 
I've been trying to make into my new server (it's a home thing, natd, 
email, apache, mysql, firewall, you know, fun stuff) and it has now 
failed catastrophically twice. The first time I was convinced it was the 
hard drive. This time though, I'm not. All of this hardware *tests* ok, 
that means memtest, seatools, etc find no problems with the hardware. 
But this hardware has been around for a while.


What I'm looking for is an opinion - I watch the lists, and I've seen a 
few other page faults and trap 12's etc, but it looks like as a whole, 
people have having pretty good luck with 7.0RC1. Is there certain 
hardware I should look out for with 7.0, for instance, I have a nic 
using the re driver - is that ok? I know I can panic my desktop (6.2) 
using the nve card in it.


One thing I have to point out is, I've had strange things come up on the 
console with this machine - USB errors for instance. And there is 
absolutely nothing USB hooked up to this machine, although it does have 
USB hardware.


Bottom line:
Do I keep exactly the same hardware, and try 6.3?
Do just get new hardware (hey, lets face it, hardware is cheap, 
especially when all I need is a box to sit there and run with two nic's 
in it, a console output and a cd drive).
Is there anything in particular anyone would like me to try with this 
system before I take it out back and shoot it?


(seriously, current state:) The server boots, and miraculously enough, 
it routes internet traffic to the rest of my network. However, it's 
hosed it's file system but good, which is what it did last time too - 
trying to log into the console results in:


/usr/bin/login: No such file or directory.

I've booted in single user mode and fsck'd it. I'm certain that at most, 
it's hanging on by a thread.

STABLE + KEXI 1.1.2 (koffice 1.6.2) + KDE 3.5.6 = no sql?

2007-05-11 Thread Drew Sanford

Hello,
	I am using Kexi to track various things in my office, including time 
off. This works well because I can write queries for each employee 
showing me how much time they have requested off, etc. - however it 
appears that after a recent upgrade of all ports, which included a KDE 
update, SQL no longer works. For instance, I have a table called 
time_off that has many records in it, but even a simple query such as


SELECT * FROM time_off;

yields an empty result. Does anyone have any pointers on what it might 
take to get this working again? I have about 30 saved queries, none of 
them work any more.

Hmm, I don't even get that far. TB 2.0 just immediately seg faults for me
(after coming up and showing itself, apparently as it's checking but it's
not semi-functional for me at all). Didn't have much time to look into it
this morning before work but I do have a number of extensions so maybe my
problem is similar to yours (I use IMAP though). I assume TB has a safemode
switch similar to Firefox's... I'll have to look into it tonight or
tomorrow. Anyone else seeing TB 2.0 crash on startup?



No, but I am seeing it core dump rather strangely. Each time it starts 
up, I can open a file dialog box to save an attachment or attach a file 
one time just fine. The second time I try to attach or save a file on 
any start up, it crashes.

I'm still getting this. Any pointers? Thanks in advance.


Did you do the Gnome-stuff update described in UPDATING last month?


No, I didn't. Of course, another box I have running 6.1 that is only a 
few days different version of the same software did not exhibit this 
problem. I performed the command indicated in UPDATING, and tried again. 
It failed with the same error. If it helps any, I'm getting exactly the 
same error trying to upgrade Thunderbird, and both the firefox and the 
firefox15 port give this error.

Inventory (asset) tracking software?

2006-10-27 Thread Drew Sanford

Hello,
	I'm tapping into this vast group of knowledgeable people to see if 
someone out there has a solution to a problem I've been trying to tackle 
for a couple of weeks now. I need a way to track inventory, but not in a 
traditional way. We aren't selling anything, rather, all of this stays 
internal.
	We have a data center which is constantly expanding in terms of 
capacity. We have large amounts of hardware on site, and new hardware 
arriving all the time. We currently have no good way to track things 
such as what hard drive that came in is in what server, and if we had to 
replace one, what the RMA date is on it, and which one we replaced it 
with. I would like something capable of the following:


1) We can add in new inventory as it arrives.
2) We can indicate what server the parts go into, and also look at the 
server and see what parts are in it.
3) Tasks can be added to the system requesting a new server be built and 
what parts should be in the server (single cpu, dual, 2 drives, 5 
drives, raid controler, X sticks of Y size ram, etc) that will take 
current inventory into account.

4) Track inventory on hand  (obviously).
5) Track RMA's on items.

Things it would be nice to have:

1) The ability to work with some form of bar code scanner.
2) The ability to print serial number stickers to add to hardware for 
internal tracking.
3) Lifetime maintenance records - what parts have gone into or come out 
of a machine over it's service life.

4) Mark an inventory item or server object as tested/burned in.

I would like to find something open source, it can run either on as a 
desktop application, or a web application. If there's something out 
there that does this that isn't open source, that's fine too. Don't not 
recommend something just because it's expensive - I'm all about 
supporting open source projects, but the company is footing the bill, 
and they just want something that works. My research has turned up a few 
commercial packages that do parts of this, but not all of it, and 
nothing really integrates, so I haven't found a real solution, but I 
can't imagine that this doesn't exist.


Thanks in advance for the help.

.dmg files?

2006-10-10 Thread Drew Sanford
Is there any way to unpack a .dmg file (mac) on FreeBSD? I have checked 
in ports/archivers and can't find anything that looks like it will do 
it, and google turns up nothing of any use that I've found yet. Have I 
missed something, or can this really not be done?

Hello,

Recently, the daily/weekly/monthly periodic emails have stopped 
coming from one of my servers.  There were no changes made of the 
system, except that part of the filesystem was exported as an NFS 
share.  These shares are setup on another FreeBSD machine for 
automount.  I have checked my /etc and /var/logs and cannot find any 
reason for the mails to have stopped.  Any help and guidance will be 
greatly appreciated.  Here are some of the relevant files:
Have you inadvertently aliased the root user to another user?  Or 
perhaps you deleted an alias and should be looking in the root mailbox?
I have virtual mail setup on my systems and I lost periodic emails as 
well until I configured postfix correctly to consider my local 
machine's hostname as an acceptable recipient.  I now alias root to 
the virtual user I want to receive these emails.
I had this same thing happen recently on one of my machines, but it was 
one I use for my desktop. They stopped for me when I installed KDE, 
upgrading from enlightenment. I don't know if there's something going on 
with a particular update or not, but honestly, the mails don't even 
appear to be getting generated, which is to say, I don't know if the job 
is even being run. Can you determine if the job is being run for you or not?

Re: Bug in 6.1 acpi?

I've asked about this error message before, but this has gotten serious.
Not sure if it's related, but this server keeps spontaneously having what
appear to be power events every 13-40 hours or so.  No errors or panic
messages or core dumps.

The system has dual power supplies and was rock stable running 4.X.  The
problem only started occuring after upgrading to 6.1-STABLE.  Could it be
related to this DMESG? :

acpi0: PTLTD   RSDT on motherboard
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
acpi: bad write to port 0x070 (8), val 0x43
acpi: bad read from port 0x071 (8)

The hardware is an Intel L440GX+ MB with dual 1Ghz CPUs with SMP (I tried
a kernel without SMP, but it didn't help), 1GB ECC RAM, 1GB Swap, Adaptec
2100 SCSI RAID level 1.  It apppears to be lightly loaded in terms of CPU
and RAM.

This server is in production, so any advice would be greatly apppreciated.

  


James,
When you say power events, what exactly are we talking about here? Does 
the system just shut down, does it power down cleanly, or is it 
spontaneously rebooting?
