Re: DTrace userland
Here's another way to cause a kernel panic:
[marca@freebsd9-0 ~]$ sudo kldload dtraceall
[marca@freebsd9-0 ~]$ cat -n test.c
1 #include
2
3 int main()
4 {
5sleep(15);
6
7FILE *fp = fopen("hello.txt", "w");
8fprintf(fp, "Here I am at %s:%d.\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
9fclose(fp);
10 }
[marca@freebsd9-0 ~]$ gcc test.c -o test
[marca@freebsd9-0 ~]$ sudo dtrace -n 'pid$target:test:main:entry' -c ./test
dtrace: description 'pid$target:test:main:entry' matched 1 probe
dtrace: buffer size lowered to 1m
CPU IDFUNCTION:NAME
0 43030 main:entry
(Kernel panic! After reboot)
[marca@freebsd9-0 ~]$ cat hello.txt
Here I am at test.c:8.
Interestingly, the crash doesn't occur until after the sleep and the
fprintf call, so it looks the kernel panic happens as a result of the
traced process _exiting_...

fsync: Linux vs FreeBSD
Someone recently posted on one of the PostgreSQL Blogs concerning fsync on Linux/Windows/Mac OS X, but failed to make any comments on any of the BSDs ... the post has to do with how fsync works on the various OSs, and am curious as to whether or not this is something that also afflicts us: http://rhaas.blogspot.com/2010/10/wal-reliability.html From reading our man page, I see no warnings similar to what the other OSs have, specifically: Mac OS X: For applications that require tighter guarantees about the integrity of their data, Mac OS X provides the F_FULLFSYNC fcntl Linux: If the underlying hard disk has write caching enabled, then the data may not really be on permanent storage when fsync() / fdatasync() return. So, do we hide the fact, or are, in fact, not afflicted by this? Thanks ... Marc G.

BSDStats: Project Status on May 13th, 2010
Status: Over the past two weeks, there has been alot of work performed on the backend, including fixing a few "bugs" that were recently reported. As a result of using HAProxy to load balance and help ensure uptime for reporting clients, someone recently reported that although their sent in their report, their country wasn't going up in the 'Countries' states. This bug has been fixed (HAProxy was reporting Proxy IP vs Client IP) and we reset the stats period to 1st of May, causing a sharp drop in #s that has slowly been climbing back up again. The result of the change is that now Panama isn't the largest distribution of PC-BSD anymore, but the USofA is back in that lead, with Russia quickly following. Stats Summary: As of May 13th, 2010 (based on reporting ~2 weeks of reporting period since fix) , the project has 3 733 hosts that have reported in, broken down as follows: PC-BSD2 357 hosts FreeBSD 1 243 hosts DesktopBSD 78 hosts NetBSD 34 hosts OpenBSD 12 hosts DragonFly 9 hosts MirBSD0 hosts MidnightBSD 0 hosts GNU/kFreeBSD 0 hosts We currently have hosts being reported in from 88 countries, with the top 10 being: United States 752 Panama332 Russian Federation332 Australia 271 Germany 204 Ukraine 173 Japan 121 Canada101 Brazil 89 United Kingdom 89 Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org Project Objective: "The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and marketing of the *BSD operating systems." PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually. For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set things up. There is now a man page / document that has been created, that contains a full description of the project, as well as the steps we take to ensure the anonymity of those reporting while maintaining the individuality of the reporting machines. This can be found at: http://www.bsdstats.org/bsdstats-8.html Project Uptime: In the beginning, there were issues with accessibility of the servers, due to only having one reporting server. We have since moved to a distributed cluster using HAProxy to load balance between two physical servers, with a third one coming online soon. http://www.bsdstats.org isn't running on this new cluster yet, but work is underway to get that moved over as well, which we hope to have accomplished over the next couple of days.

Re: BSDstats website displaying data incorrectly
Just to elaborate on the issue ... it looks like both of those pages are using different QUERIES to the database ... in the former, it is using a system view that I was able to update after we fixed the issue with country reporting, such that it doesn't show records older then that date ... the latter page is pulling the data via a different method (which Bobby is looking into) so that its actually pulling in older date (ie. a two months average vs just the past 10 days or so) ...

Re: Addition to BSDstats
I was just thinking about it, and one point that I don't know if I've ever made (or haven't made in awhile) is that BSDStats looks at who is *using* a *BSD variant, not who *was* ... it relies on being run *at least* once a month for a server to be counted ... if you run it once and never run it again, you only count for that *period*, but fall off the radar relatively quickly. Basically, if someone installed FreeBSD 2 years ago, installed the port and then switched to Linux a year later, even though they are still listed in the system, they are not part of the 'current' states, as they are no longer reporting ... That is why the initial install puts it into /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly, so that it hopefully gets run *at least* at the beginning of each month ... it can be run more often over the month, it will still count as *1* install, but it needs to be run *at least* once a month for a machine to continue to be counted ...

I understand what you said upthread about haproxy being in Panama, but it's a small country to be always at the top; maybe there's some way to differentiate between "really in Panama" and "don't know"? It also seems odd that I, personally, as a home user, should be responsible for about 3% of the bsdstats-reporting FreeBSD machines in the US. (3 hosts out of 101) You will see those numbers dropping over the course of the month ... if ppl out there are reading this and wish to help 'fix the numbers', just run: /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics -nodelay to update their records with the right country vs Panama, and you'll see it change quickly ... you'll even notice that the overall numbers right now are quick low, as I narrowed down the view to just 'so far this month' to help bring down the Panama skew, so there is no overlap right now with last month ... The PC-BSD #s are the ones that really skew'd those numbers up though, since theirs is auto-installed and always up to date, so unlike alot of FBSD users that have old versions installed pointing directly to the physical server, the PC-BSD ones were pointing to the load balancer ...

Re: Addition to BSDstats
The backend to bsdstats.org is load balanced behind an haproxy backend, with only the IP of haproxy being passed back into it ... one of the key issues that was brought up from day one was security and anonymity(sp?) of those submitting, and we've taken that *very* seriously ... other then the tokens that are passed back to present individual systems, we do not record anything (or see anything) about the reporting servers ... On Tue, 4 May 2010, Steve Bertrand wrote: Marc, et-al, I wasn't originally going to post this to the list, but I thought that it would be useful to do so in order to try to solicit feedback. There's a suggestion that I have for the server-side of bsdstats. I would find it very useful if the server could track the % of the reporting connections that come in over IPv6, and include that on the website front page. Of course, this would require that rpt.bsdstats.org reside on a reliable IPv6 network, and code changes to the server-side software.

Last uvisor(4) revision was not merged in BETA3 so you will have to wait for the merge or directly grab it from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c?rev=1.12;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=HEAD replace you src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c with that one and rebuild your module/kernel Then if you plug your device and launch Hotsync on the Palm a /dev/cuaU0 device should appear. You should check that. If you have jpilot installed, palm/pilot-link tools are installed (be sure it was compiled with USB support), so once the /dev/cuaU0 device node is created you can type: # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -l this should list the installed files on your device, # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b your_backup_dir to backup your palm on your PC.

Freebsd-update fetch failed...
Evening folks... have just built up a new 7.0-RELEASE box, and have gone to update it to 7.0-RELEASEp11, however, whenever I run freebsd-update fetch I get the following: bigsis2# freebsd-update fetch Looking up update1.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.0-RELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Fetching 2 metadata files... failed. Have tried using update., update1., and update2., but no joy on any of them. Any ideas? The box talks fine to the net, everything else on it is hunkydorey, so I'm assuming the error isn't at my end... and before anyone asks, I'm stuck with 7.0-RELEASE thanks to cPanel not supporting anything more current than that at the moment (boo hiss). My other option is to grab the contents of /var/db/freebsd-update/ off my other server, copy over to this new box, and run 'freebsd-update install' and see if it then realises that it has the files and gets on with it... Any better suggestions?

The touchpad/keyboard are removable and detected as: ums0 on uhub2 ums0: 2 buttons. It works, but basically, like a normal mouse... I've tried psm with hw.psm.synaptic on /boot/loader.conf without success, doesn't detect and no /dev/psm0 created, with xorg/synaptics same problem, it doesn't detect any compatible touchpad.

Load balancing multiple virtual hosts on 1 IP

I want to setup a third VM with something like haproxy on it that will take the URL (http://domain1) and pull the content from one or the other ... So far, all works well if I only have one virtual host, but as soon as I add a second one (http://domain2), when I try to go to http://domain2, it pulls up the content for domain1 also, as if I was going to http://IP instead. Is there a way to set this up (with haproxy, or some other software), that it will actually pass the URL through to the backend apache server and load up the right content?

Sadly that didn't work. It created .bak files for everything within
/home/Horbury recursively, but didn't make any changes - the base64_decode is
till present.
Additional point to note: this only needs performing on .php files, not all
files...
Would I be correct in guessing it's because the string for perl to search for
omits a space?
IE: within the files, it's as follows:
Whereas the perl appears to be looking for:
Also... how to delete all files ending in .bak recursively? *grin*
I'm presuming it'd be:
Find /home/horbury -type f -name "*.bak" -exec \
Rm *.bak
???

Hi Mel...
S'One long singleline string broken down by the mailer...
Have tried doing a find and replace using perl, initially just to replace the
string, leaving an empty base64_decode(), however, one of the ICT Teachers has
created paths with spaces in, which seemed to throw off the perl I was using...
will give yours a try later today *fingers crossed*...
If worst comes to worst I can restore from backups, it'll just mean students
lose a few days of work that they'd submitted thru Moodle (I've been off for a
day or three, and this appears to have happened on the first day of my absence)
Ta fer the helpful suggestions thus far!

Mass find/replace...
Never had to do this so not sure where to start. Have googled and found some solutions but they don't particularly work (see below)... Someone has managed to inject php code into a PILE of php pages on my webserver... "" This basically brings up a pile of spam links. I need to do a find / replace throughout the entire of the /home/horbury/public_html directory... I've tried 'find /home/Horbury/ -type f | xargs grep -l base64_decode' to get a list of the files that require the operation performing, but it comes up with an error (xargs: unterminated quote) after a few results... Any tips? Basically to find the above and remove it... otherwise I'll have to resort to doing it in Dreamweaver and reuploading, which is a major pita, or restoring from a backup (after working out when exactly this happened and how - I'm guessing thru a teacher's out of date wordpress install somewhere).

Using FreeBSD as a reference point, the port, when it installs, allows you to enable two methods of reporting: monthly (out of periodic) and on reboot ... so that covers the 4 that aren't up 24/7 ... Next, the reporting is not based on your IP ... in fact, to try and address security concerns, we do not store any information such as IP or hostname ... when you run the stats the first time, it generates a distinct key that is used for reporting and is stored on your host for future reporting to identify you ...

Consistency of MySQL dumps...
Here's one that's puzzling me... If I use /usr/local/bin/mysqldump to make a backup of a database, the file it produces fails to restore with "Check syntax near..." error. If I then head into cPanel, to their "Backup" menu, and take a backup of the database from there, the file it produces also fails to restore with "Check syntax near..." error, but at a COMPLETELY different point thru the restore. If I head into cPanel, to phpmyadmin, and do an export from there... the file restores PERFECTLY without errors. Sooo... how can I write a script that'll backup a MySQL database and produce a useable file?? This problem is occurring on 2 of my 8 databases... it appears the chosen software used to produce the dump of MySQL data is the culprit... what is the best commandline (ie: cron-able) tool to use for the task?

Script works fine from CLI, but not when Cron'd
I've got a script to backup my MySQL databases, which works absolutely fine from the command line, but when I add it in to root's cronjobs it always fails with "mysqldump: not found" - what am I doing wrong? Script as follows: #!/bin/sh USER= PASS= mysqldump --opt -h localhost -u $USER -p$PASS horbury_dppd06 >/home/horbury/backup_mysql/dppd06.sql And that's it... When run as root from CLI, works with no errors. When run from cron as root, get the "not found" problem.

Alternative for EasySpeedy
In the past I had for some time a dedicated server with EasySpeedy in Denmark. In the beginning it worked alright, but later it turned sour. No or flaky network connection. No replies from support. So I quit. But I still would like to have something similar, where you can do whatever you like with your server, upgrade the OS yourself. And I want FreeBSD and NOT Linux. Finally: I am poor. So cheap, please. Any tips? Thanks!

Live FS Dump errors...
Morning folks... I'm trying to use a script to run a dump of all
filesystems, but whenever I use the -L option, I receive an error as
follows for every mount:
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Sep 1 13:37:57 2008
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/da0s1a (/) to standard output

DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
mksnap_ffs: Cannot create /home/.snap/dump_snapshot: Input/output error
dump: Cannot create /home/.snap/dump_snapshot: No such file or directory
I've inspected the locations reported, and can confirm that
.snap/dump_snapshot exists in the required locations on every mount, and
shows as being created at the time the dump was run as follows:
bigsis# pwd
/home/.snap
bigsis# ls -ltra
total 4
drwx--x--x 11 root wheel 512 Mar 25 03:05 ..

-r 1 root operator0 Sep 1 13:39 dump_snapshot
drwxrwx--- 2 root operator 512 Sep 1 13:39 .
The script I'm using is a perl script as follows, and is called by
root's crontab:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Getopt::Std;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
use vars qw($VERSION);
$Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION = 1;
$VERSION = '1.2';
my @FS = ('/', '/home', '/usr', '/var');
my $day = lc(strftime "%A", localtime);
my $hostname = `/bin/hostname -s`;
my %opt = ('F' => 0, 'd' => 0, 'h' => 0);
my $type;
chomp $hostname;
getopts("Fdh",\%opt);
if ( $opt{h} == 1 ) {
print STDERR << "EOF";

-h: this (help) message
-d: Dry run, only print what I am going to do

exit(0)
}
if ( $opt{F} == 1 ) {
$type = "0"
} else {
if ($day eq "sunday") {
$type = "0"
} else {
$type = "0"
}
}
foreach (@FS) {
my $name = $_;
if ($name eq '/') {
$name = '/root';
};
$name =~ s/^\///g;
# Unncomment for /backup/$day/$name.dump.gz
my $command = '/sbin/dump -' . $type . ' -aLuf - ' . $_ . ' |
gzip -q > /backup/' . $day . '/' .
$name . '.dump.gz';
# Put a "#" in front of the next line if you uncomment the last line
# my $command = '/sbin/dump -' . $type . ' -aLuf - ' . $_ . ' |
gzip -q > /backup/' . $hostname .
'/' . $day . '.' . $name . '.dump.gz';
if ($opt{d}) {
print($command . "\n");
} else {
system($command);
};
};
exit(0);
Any suggestions??? All works fine if I don't use -L, but this isn't
exactly ideal for a backup of a live file-system...

RE: Obscure df -h output
> Yes, they did something bizarre. Ask them why :) > > Kris > ___ Mornin' Kris / list... Asked them why and they shrugged and said "we didn't"... So... I unmounted all the nullfs mounts that it'd allow me to unmount (tmp, dev, proc and bin were "busy") and then rebooted the box to see if they reappeared. They didn't. Then I had a bit of a "ting" moment as the lightbulb 2" above my head flickered into life, and logged in as a jailed user... Lo and behold, the mounts reappeared. Logged out and logged back in as my regular user, and the mounts remained. Should mounts for jail-shells automatically unmount themselves when that user logs out?? Either way, we know what the "issue" is, and that it isn't an issue at all... S'just the joys of letting cPanel do something for you...! L8rs!
