Is rcorder working under /usr/local/etc/rc.d?

Re: Can't mount partitions with soft-updates enabled with async option
Giorgos Keramidas wrote: Squid is such a memory hungry beast that I wouldn't worry about a small percentage of page faults caused by softupdates. The proxy itself is probably causing a hell of a lot more page faults as it maps cache files or as it recycles cache entries :-) You are very right about this one. Are you absolutely sure it's softupdates that is causing these extra page faults? (Which *may* be true, because of the extra memory softupdates need, in order to operate. But how can you tell?) Well, according to squid the page faults were due to physical writes but I can't tell for sure yet. I guess I can try and test it and see what happens. If the percentages are that small then it most definitely isn't worth the trouble at all. My estimated guess was that the numbers would have been greater than just 2-3%. Knowing though how easily an async file system can corrupt, is there the slightest chance this could happen under normal but heavy usage?

Can't mount partitions with soft-updates enabled with async option
I am not sure if I do something wrong here or it is suppose to work that way but the async option doesn't seem to work for partitions that have soft-updates turned on. Can someone please clarify the difference and if the speed difference (if any) is significant when using the async option instead of the soft-updates for cases such as the /usr/obj or as a squid data storage? Is async preferred over soft-updates when data loss is not a big issue?

Re: Can't mount partitions with soft-updates enabled with async option
Giorgos Keramidas wrote: Why would you want to do that? Soft-updates already provides most of the benefits of an async mount plus some extra goodies, like never leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state. Kalimera Giorgo, For boosting io speed to the max it can get. The system is very stable (no crashes whatsover) and UPS monitored and protected so chances of having an inconsistent filesystem are very low or am I wrong? (I am refering to an async mounted filesystem) The speed gain of mounting a squid cache as async shouldn't really be that big, but the guarantees of avoiding data loss when a filesystem is mounted with softupdates are too big to ignore :-) Well, that would probably depend on the requests per second but for a pretty busy squid box (disk cache is already split to a few disks) and to keep things running even more smooth and optimal, this would probably boost the io performance further more (if I understood everything right). The reason I am thinking of switching to async mode is that I am getting some physical io page faults (very small percentage compared to the requests per second but still) and I am already using the noatime option with soft-updates of course. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might want to check out this port called symlinks (/usr/ports/sysutils/symlinks). It can check out links as simple as: symlinks -r / | grep ^dangling It can change absolute/messy links to relative, delete dangling links, recurse into subdirs and shorten lengthy links. :-) All in one!

Grow ups or not and as ridiculous as it may sound and probably is, these are both good points and they both could have effect on FreeBSD's popularity, the satan looking symbol and the hostility towards Berkeley. As for the symbol, well, I would expect it to look something more world wide acceptable, neutral, and cute, like Penguin is and not as a demon. We all know the difference between daemons and demons, however, there are plenty of people that don't and as far as popularity goes compared to Linux, well, popular doesn't necessarily mean a kitchen sink linux OS, IF HANDLED RIGHT of course, and I am sure that there isn't anyone here that wouldn't like FreeBSD being popular.

Hi, I mean that I have just finished reinstalling all ports hoping it would solve some broken port/library dependencies I was suspecting using porsupgrade -afp. Actually, it did a good job and solved all port dependencies problems I had except 1. Some mozilla libaries remain broken. I am using 4.7-STABLE #0: Sun Nov 3 and here is some of the output using libchk: Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libmsgsmime.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libmsgmdn.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libabsyncsvc.so libmsgbaseutil.so libmozjs.so libxpcom.so ...

Re: reinstall all installed ports
I am not using X very often so I wouldn't really now. However, I will give it an extensive try the next few days and see what happens. It will probably be for me hard to tell why is failing anyway. I always had problems with it.

Re: regarding php installation
Hi, the httpd.conf should look like this: ... LoadModule php4_modulelibexec/apache/libphp4.so ^ Add 2 if u use apache v2 ... AddModule mod_php4.c ... IfModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps /IfModule ... That should work just fine. U probably forget the AddModule Actually, looks like u have apache v2. Adding php4 to apache v1 took care automatically for me the first two statements but not the AddType..., I had to manually add those. However, I am not sure how apache v2 behaves. U should check your docs just to make sure. Run an apachectl configtest just to make sure. Rotaru Razvan wrote: Hi, Thanks for all these good advices. I have one more question: I added to httpd.conf the 'IfModule ...' stuff as you said and it did not work. When I remove the if clause it works. In httpd conf i have the following line: LoadModule php4_modulelibexec/apache2/libphp4.so What is the correct name in IfModule ... ?

Re: reinstall all installed ports
Hi, Is there en easy way to remove, rebuild, and reinstall or force the reinstallation of all already installed ports if broken dependencies are suspected?

Very nice tools indeed and not just the portsearch one! Thats the kind I have been looking for. How come they are no references anywhere though? consistency check for example is a very good one but that's another topic anyway, thanks.

With any luck you should see updates to files matching '*.mk' and 'Makefile*', and then the build will succeed. Unfortunately, no luck there. No Makefile-type files were updated. So, I toasted my *entire* source tree (including the 'checkouts' files) and grabbed it all anew, tried rebuilding the world... and got the same error. To start with as clean an environment as possible for a buildworld you really have to do more than that: + Remove everything under /usr/obj. # chflags -R noschg /usr/obj # rm -fr /usr/obj/* I did this step a couple of days ago, just before my first post to this list. To be on the safe side, I did it again before the most recent attempt. + CVSup your sources. I did this step yesterday. + Start a new buildworld. Avoid using -DNOCLEAN or similar flags. I've done this now with NO_OPENSSH=true in make.conf, but I *still* get errors! I had the exact same results when I tried NO_OPENSSH=true. Kernel wouldn't compile. Seems like kernel is broken with NO_OPENSSH=true. Compile with OPENSSH and use sshd_program=/usr/local/sbin/sshd at ur rc.conf if you are trying to use the new sshd. U will also need to change the PATH so that /usr/local/. comes first. Its not the proper way but still, its a workaround.

User Quota Settings
Hi all,
How can I set quota for all users? This command I was using doesn't seem
to work for me any more. Can anyone please recomend me any good package(s)
that set and monitor user quotas and send them warnings automatically?
edquota -p someone `awk -F: '$3 1000 $3 65534 {print $1}' /etc/passwd`
Thank you
