fusefs-ntfs panic after update to 9.0-RELEASE....
All, I've been using fusefs-ntfs for quite a while with no issues for my ntfs needs in 8.x I recently updated to 9.0-RELEASE, and now my machine panics upon writing to an ntfs mount. I did rebuild all fusefs-ntfs ports after the upgrade. Anyone else experiencing this or similar? Thanks, Eric signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Synchronising jails
On 04/27/2012 09:35, Frank Staals wrote: Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, rsync is dissimilar in that it is capable of preserving links. It may likely do the job? I am under the impression that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

I suppose it may have been a little less than clear. By non fuse filesystem I actually meant UFS. The problem still persisted. NTFS file systems on FreeBSD or even Linux are OK only for doing small r/w stuff. I use the ntfs-3g which is really good but don't trust NTFS for heavy usage under those OSs. Sometimes it's not even trustable under windows itself. I realize NTFS on fBSD has been shaky in the past, but had heard it had come a long way these days. It does seem to work well for all my purposes, except these VMs. Had hoped NTFS was not the issue. EXT on the other hand, is very stable in FreeBSD and has very good drivers for any version of 32/64 windows (Ext2IFS_1_11a) so you can access you vdi files. I've not tried the EXT IFS for windows yet, nor had I heard much regarding their success or failure. If your willing to go out on a limb and say very good drivers for any version of 32/64 windows...

8.2 prerelease, virtualbox, and windows guests that freeze...
All, I have a laptop running 8.2-prerelease GENERIC. I have virtualbox ose 3.2.12 from ports (and kmod as well). I've only installed windows guests in vbox. I've installed windows 2008 server 64, windows vista 64bit, and windows 7 32bit. I have the vbox hdd images on an NTFS filesystem mounted using fuse. My box is a dual boot machine between FreeBSD and Windows. My desire is to be able to utilize the same virtual machine in vbox on both my Windows and FreeBSD installations. I can successfully utilize the virtuals in vbox (same version) in Windows. However when I utilize any of the virtual machines in FreeBSD, they run for several minutes and eventually freeze. Freeze may not necessarily be the correct term. All windows processes on the virtual machine begin to die. First one process, then another, then all. Hard to explain, which may not help my cause here. But, most important fact... in Windows they work fine... under FreeBSD they run for a while and then cease to run. When the VM is good and dead, it is always dead with the little vbox virtual hard disk LED lit up (no idea if that is important). Previously, they would run for a *very* short time. seconds? minutes? and then die (sometimes I couldn't login). I disabled sound support and now they run for 10-15 minutes. Had one run for an hour or two the other day, but can't reproduce that. Usually 10-15 minutes max. Network works fine inside the virtual. I'm new to VirtualBox on FreeBSD. I've used it a bit on Windows with good results. I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that out, but had same issue.

Re: weird permissions on directories when installing ports through sudo

This seems to have jumped up and bitten me on the arse as well. I believe the problem lies herein: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/sudo/distinfo?rev=1.61 It appears that sudo has been changed following a security issue. I use a more restrictive umask than the default. I suspect you do as well. The sudo change now implements a union of umasks, therefore never lowering the umask of the person running sudo. This had the effect of truly screwing up many installed ports for me (I do the same as you `sudo portupgrade`). I'm not blaming the fix... just whining about it. The fix for me was to deinstall and reinstall and problem ports using root himself. I suspect though you could fix it other ways by fiddling with your usmask, and/or altering the sudo config files. Recently, as of a few weeks ago, I started noticing that ports that were installed or upgraded were getting the wrong permissions. Not only were directories getting permissions of 700 (whereas previously they had been 755), but the directories /usr/local and entries in /var/db/pkg were getting permissions of 700. This is causing a lot of things to break, and I have to manually go in and make everything public for it to work again. This only happens when I build ports via sudo. If I am root and I run make install, everything works fine. yeah. Me too. :) I haven't changed anything recently either in sudo, or my umask.

Regular panics in RELENG_7....
Hello, I seem to be suffering from some rather consistent panics. I say consistent not because I can actually reproduce it on demand, but that I know it _will_ happen eventually. These only happen while I am at the office with my laptop. The only difference between the office and home is the wireless network. I have an atheros based card in my laptop (and using wpa_supplicant), and we have two wireless access points here at the office. I'm not sure why there would be some problem, but if I disable card the panics stop. I do notice that the two access points have similar S/N ratios given my proximity to both. And that my machine frequently flip flops between the two. What happens is, two maybe three times a week my machine will panic here at the office. Frequently when shutting down (when ath0 goes down), sometimes when starting X, sometimes when killing X, sometimes while sitting at console not even logged in, and sometimes after a reboot from a panic while fsck'ing. All seemingly go away if I disable the atheros card in bios. I have a dozen crashdumps. I'm including dmesg, and a couple backtraces.

I suppose one can't know everything about an operating system with as much functionality as FreeBSD, but I started to feel like my knowledge was really ad-hoc, and that I didn't completely understand what I was doing (as if I had learned only by example). To that end, I started reading the FreeBSD handbook front-to-back. I've gotten to Part III, and while it's been very valuable, I still feel like I'm learning by example, and not by understanding the operating system. I'm starting to think I'm expecting something out of the handbook it's not designed to do. It seems like the man pages would be a good place to go, but my trouble with using them is that they're difficult to put together the information on different pages.

Could someone recommend a solution for me? The situation is that I have a home server (running NFS, Samba, FTP, Apache, Mysql), plus a desktop and laptop (which generally gets used just around the house). The desktop and laptop both run fetchmail to collect my email from my ISP - but obviously this means some of my email ends up on the laptop, and some on the desktop. IMHO... You don't need to run your own mailserver to solve this. Simply have one of your machines only download the mail. Have the other, download and *remove* the mail from the server. Or possibly, have them both only remove mail that is older than x-days from the server. This will allow you to get the mail onto both machines, assuming you use each machine within the given time. I'm after something like using fetchmail on the server to collect the mail, then probably sort it with procmail before making it available to my home network. The aim is for the mail to remain on the home server - Ie. In one central location on my network. Any recommendations for a POP3 server that would fit into a home network and make this easy to understand for the newbie? If you must use one... I'm not sure it gets any easier than qpopper.

Once in a while (I can't reproduce the problem by doing anything specific), I exit X, and my TTY does not come back.

Re: Getting a list of dependencies which have to be installed ?

Hey...,
Is there a utility to display the dependencies of a port which have yet

freebsd.org/ports , pkg_info -r or just looking in the files in the

haven't been installed on your system yet ? I also looked at pkg_add -n
but it immediately starts fetching the packages needed. I don't want to
start downloading the complete package just because I want a list of
ports I haven't installed yet.
Or is the only way making a diff between the pkg_info -r output and your
pkg_info -a ? If so : Is there a way to tell pkg_info when using the -r

cvsup problems....
Hello,
I usually use cvsup5.us.freebsd.org. but it has not given me any new
bits for several days now. And if I use ANY other server what usually
takes five minutes, takes 30-minutes to an hour (or they just hang).
Which is terribly annoying.
I've tried picking other servers by hand, and I've tried the
fastest_cvsup script. Doesn't seem to matter which I pick. They all
seem to be slow except cvsup5... and cvsup5 does not give me anything
anymore. No source, no ports, no docs.
I have not changed anything on my end. Is there something going on that
I am not aware of that is affecting the servers, or my ability to
interact with them? Is it related to the release, the move, anything?
I'm using RELENG_6.
I use:
cvsup -g -L 1 ${SUPFILE_DIR}/supfile
And:
*default host=cvsup3.us.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress

The obvious way of fixing the package database is to reinstall all of your ports before removing the leaves. You may not need to use such a brute-force solution, though... If you have backups of /var/db/pkg, you could go through and try to find the dependencies as they existed when the backup was made. Obviously, this might not be fully up-to-date; however, it's likely to be better than what you have now. Good luck. Thanks for the response. Well, I would accept this without any question... especially given the full story of my machine (I did loose /var... I did reinstall everything... but after reinstalling everything, there was a different number of ports installed??? I then pulled out a backup and grabbed some straglers and got closer.). However, sticking with my gnucash2 example. You would think if I were to uninstall gnucash2, uninstall g-wrap, and reinstall gnucash2, it would correct this problem. Yet it remains. It seems odd to me. In fact looking at the backup I have, g-wrap is not +REQUIRED_BY anything. I wonder if the port(s) is somehow broken? Either way... I think I'm gonna just wait till 6.2 is cut and then rebuild (again). Simply because this is quite a systemic problem. I'm not sure I can confidently clean it up 100%. If I fail to register (for lack of a better word) some port(s) in the database, they will never get updated, as my system will not know they are present.

How can I force a reinstall of a port and all its deps.
The port itself will handle anything above.
Well, that's what I had thought would happen, but the port does not
seem to re-register the dependencies. It simply notes that they are
present, and builds and registers the port I have attempted to `make
install`. So for example if I go to /usr/ports/www/firefox, and `make
install` it. I only end up with firefox in my /var/db/pkg folder.
None of its deps appear.
As for things below ... you're pretty much hosed. If the pkg
db (or equivalent) existed, it would know which ports had been
installed and could rebuild things.
Without the pkg db, the only record of what _should_ be
installed is in your head.
Have you tried sysutils/portmanager?
From the man page:
Determines ports that are out of date by comparing them to Makefiles
downloaded through cvsup into the ports tree
So it looks like it doesn't require /var/db/pkg to work.
-p or --pristine
Updates a port if any dependency in it's /var/db/pkg/{port
name}/+CONTENTS does not match what is installed. The effect is
when
a port is updated, any port who uses the updated port in it's
depen-
dency chain, no matter how deep, are rebuilt. Normally only
ports one
level up are rebuilt.
This looks like it rebuilds /var/db/pkg
You also probably need -f if your ports are up-to-date
Aha!
Example from the man page:
rebuild all installed ports
portmanager -u -f
This might be my silver bullet. Its been running for quite some time
but it appears to be rebuilding everything and its full set of
dependencies. Thanks!
I've never used portmanager before. Always portupgrade. Nice.
I was having all sorts of difficulties using `pkgdb -F`. possibly
something else gone wrong on my machine. It was complaining of
DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND? and complaining that it could not convert nil to
String? Never seen it do that before.
Thanks!
I haven't tried it in these particular circumstances and I'm not sure if
I've read the man page right but it's worth a try, it's a pretty clever
utility.
Note if you try it on a single port you have to put the options after
the port name, see the EXAMPLES section. Also see my recent question
about portmanager and /tmp if you are rebuilding lots of ports in one
session.
Chris
Yes.. this is now painfully obvious to me. I guess in some way I had
thought the pkg db, was simply a convenience. But I now realize it is
*the authority* on what is installed on your machine. While I do plan
to back it up from now on... I have added the two small scripts to my
toolbox as well.
I alias the following as port_install
#!/bin/sh
#
# Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine
#
make install clean \
printf `pwd`\t\t\t`date`\n /root/maint/install/port_install.log
and the following as port_deinstall (mind the word-wrap).
#!/bin/sh
#
# Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine
#
SCRIPT_DIR=/root/maint/install
grep -v `pwd` $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log
$SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log
rm $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log
mv $SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log
make deinstall
Then I have a list of top level apps that *I* have installed. I am
using the above today, as I am reinstalling all top level apps. :)
On the other hand, if you remeber
certain leaf ports installing them will drag in most of the
infrastructure. (My candidates: OpenOffice, Firefox, Apache,
something involving Java. GIMP.) It will still take time, but
within limits you can just let it run.
A scenario for the future: my /var/db/pkg has ~620 entries, and
totals just over 62mb. Building a tarball took less than a minute
and ate another 60mb. Might be a sound investment.
yeah... I have already added /var/db/pkg to my backup scripts. I
backup a bunch of system stuff every time I buildworld. I just wasn't
getting that.
Thanks.

1) install all your big ports (leafs with lots of dependancies)
2) run this to get a list of depedancy ports which should already be
there, just not in /var/db/pkg
# pkg_info -ar | awk '/Dependency:/ {print $2}'|sort|uniq
3) install these ports so that they get added to /var/db/pkg.
Seems like this should work, am I missing something?
I think the above would work just as well. The only difference I see is
that `pkgdb -F` is automating step 3 for me. It's determining what
dependencies are not present, and asking if I would like to install
them. This way, for example, I do not have to determine where
vte-0.14.1_1 resides and cd in there, and make it... then on to the
next.. etc.
Thanks.

With respect to the package database...
I've seen plenty of threads from folks having lost theirs in some form
or fashion, and the solution always seems to be reinstall
everything.
Well, ok... sounds like a PITA, but how hard can it really be. I
only
had 30-40 apps installed anyway. With their deps it weighs in
around
350 ports total. So I started to do just that. Figured I'd reinstall
in the order I originally installed in the first place. Starting with
Xorg. I go to the port dir and `make install`, thinking it would
reinstall it and all its deps. No go. It does in fact reinstall
Xorg,
but none of its deps because it finds them present. Reinstalling
30-40
apps is one things, having to manually go in and do 350... now thats a
PITA!
You might be able to force mount the dirty filesystem via
mount -f
You can also try
dd if=/dev/ad0s1d of=some_dang_file_name*
And then using mdconfig to play with the resulting file.
mdconfig -t vnode -f some_dang_file_name -u 0 \
mount -f /dev/md0c /mnt (maybe?)
If you can get the /var/db/pkg dir off nicely, good luck.
Thanks. Good ideas. I'll play with this when I have time. But after
using mtree to recreate the structure in /var (off the / filesystem),
things came back online pretty well. I'll most likely get things put
back together and then just recreate the /var filesystem and copy
everything back into it.
*(Note that this could take a long time on a 1 or 2G /var
as it reads all of the empty blocks as well, you might want
to hand it a bs= and a count= if you know about how much
of /var was full at the time, man dd for more details. Also
note that I have had faster results using sdd from ports)
I had a similar problem a while back and both methods
were able to read some of the data from the former /var,
however the /var/db/pkg directory was trashed and I ended
up having to fall back on the reinstall everything method.
My method ended up consisting of:
1) reinstalling portupgrade
2) reinstalling several high level programs (opera, mplayer,
gnumeric, any window managers, so on)
3) pkgdb -F which one at a time reinstalls everything depended
on. Make sure you have backups of any important files in
/usr/local/etc as they may get overwritten.
I'm presently doing this now. I have reinstalled most, if not all, top
level ports and will be running through `pkgdb -F` tomorrow. I suspect
that will take a fair amount of time.
Thanks.

Well, that's what I had thought would happen, but the port does not seem to re-register the dependencies. It simply notes that they are present, and builds and registers the port I have attempted to `make install`. So for example if I go to /usr/ports/www/firefox, and `make install` it. I only end up with firefox in my /var/db/pkg folder. None of its deps appear. As for things below ... you're pretty much hosed. If the pkg db (or equivalent) existed, it would know which ports had been installed and could rebuild things. Without the pkg db, the only record of what _should_ be installed is in your head. Yes.. this is now painfully obvious to me. I guess in some way I had thought the pkg db, was simply a convenience. But I now realize it is *the authority* on what is installed on your machine. While I do plan to back it up from now on... I have added the two small scripts to my toolbox as well. I alias the following as port_install #!/bin/sh # # Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine # make install clean \ printf `pwd`\t\t\t`date`\n /root/maint/install/port_install.log and the following as port_deinstall (mind the word-wrap). #!/bin/sh # # Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine # SCRIPT_DIR=/root/maint/install grep -v `pwd` $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log $SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log rm $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log mv $SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log make deinstall Then I have a list of top level apps that *I* have installed. I am using the above today, as I am reinstalling all top level apps. :) On the other hand, if you remeber certain leaf ports installing them will drag in most of the infrastructure. (My candidates: OpenOffice, Firefox, Apache, something involving Java. GIMP.) It will still take time, but within limits you can just let it run. A scenario for the future: my /var/db/pkg has ~620 entries, and totals just over 62mb. Building a tarball took less than a minute and ate another 60mb. Might be a sound investment. yeah... I have already added /var/db/pkg to my backup scripts. I backup a bunch of system stuff every time I buildworld. I just wasn't getting that. Thanks.

Synaptic touchpad not accepting taps....
Hello, This arguably, might not be a FreeBSD question... but here goes. I have a multiboot system. FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE, Ubuntu Linux, and WinXP. The touchpad works just fine in all three OSes. However, If I am in Linux, and reboot (not poweroff + poweron) and go back into FreeBSD, then my touchpad will not allow me to tap or double tap. For example, once the wm comes up (enlightenment) I can not use the touchpad to select a window, push a button, or double click things. I can/must use the buttons associated with the touchpad, not the pad itself. The above does not occur when shifting from WinXP to FreeBSD. My question is: Is there anyway to reset the touch pad while the machine is up and running? Anything I can do to bring it back without having to resort to powering the system down and then turning it back on. Not quite sure what relevant info to post here, as things are in fact working. Just not when I bounce from Linux back to FreeBSD. -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Because maintaining the access list can be quite ponderous if you have a lot of users. I maintain a hobby website that only has two shell accounts. I use hosts.allow for ssh because it gets rid of the brute-force crap. But even for two users, the list of hosts/networks that are allowed is 10 or 15. Imagine what it would be if you have a hundred users...or a thousand. Viewed from a slightly different angle... If you are responsible for maintaining machine xyz, and you have used tcpwrappers... chances are you'll eventually need access to that machine from a location you did not previously expect. Maybe your sitting in the airport and get a call that the machine is malfunctioning. Maybe you are on call at a social gathering.

[OT] MySQL Health check?
Hello, This is not a FreeBSD question... but The community is much more helpful than most, so I thought I'd try here. I have MySQL server on my laptop. Its just for play so not really worried about any data. I recently portupgraded a ton of stuff. Jumped though some unforeseen hoops and finally rebooted. Upon reboot, the machine appeared to hang as XDM came up. I eventually resorted to turning it off. Brought it up in single user mode, and ran fsck. fsck found some bad stuff on my /usr filesystem, all with owner mysql. I selected yes to all clear/salvage options (right or wrong). I had assumed mysql would be messed up but it appears fine. So my MySQL question is... How can I check/verify the overall health of MySQL? Something like fsck for MySQL?

What I am attempting to determine is how well or if ver 6.1 will work on a 4GB hard drive with a Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz cpu and 1GB ram? The machine has a 232GB hard drive but I have another 4GB drive sitting around being unused that I was thinking of adding to the machine to configure in a dual boot setup with the 4GB drive being totally allocated to FreeBSD. Well, as everyone has stated... It depends on what you are doing with the machine. I have a 512MB USB device running 5.3-RELEASE, Xorg, Fluxbox, nessus, nmap, firefox, and a few other tidbits (no ports tree). Its darn slow off USB, but it works. So yeah, 4GB is sufficient... for some amount of functionality. If *I* wanted to use a machine, say for a desktop, I'd want no less than 20GB. I have a 20GB disk for a machine, yet I ran out of space while trying to set it up the way I wanted. I had most things setup, then tried to compile OO. I fell back to the package though. Either way, everyones point is... It depends. But I think most would say to have a truly useful Desktop, 4GB is a bit slim. My vote... 20GB+ HTH. However, before attempting that task I am trying to determine whether or not it would be even feasible to use a 4GB drive to install v 6.1 or should I use a larger drive to install the many of FreeBSD's features? And if a larger drive how large of a drive would I need to utilize many or any of its features without limiting myself to a bare bones setup? Additionally, if the 4GB drive will work how limited would the install/capabilities/features be? I am not at all opposed to using a larger drive but at the present time do not have a clue as to what size drive I should use for the most flexibility regarding type of installation options. -art - Do you Yahoo!?

If I modify /usr/local/bin/ut so that it echoes LD_LIBRARY_PATH right before it launches the game I get the following: LD_LIBRARY_PATH = :/usr/local/share/linux-ut/System which looked odd. So I tried the following two, and neither worked. LD_LIBRARY_PATH = :/usr/compat/linux:/usr/compat/linux/usr/lib:/usr/local/share/linux-ut/System LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/compat/linux:/usr/compat/linux/usr/lib:/usr/local/share/linux-ut/System Both end up with exactly the same error message. I tried to run /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd on /usr/compat/.../libGL but it gave no output!? Is that correct? Is my linux libGL.so.1 trying to use my FreeBSD libdrm.so.2?

Yes. That may be a culprit.

I think that you may try to delete all LD_* stuff and restore the

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
in /usr/local/bin/ut the original code relevant to LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks
like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$PWD
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

'setenv' in a shell shows that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined at all.
