 Hey Mark,

 Do you have a backup/alternative system you can test the code on? In lieu
 of that I would seriously consider rebuilding php. After you get it working
 it would be worth also considering upgrading to 55.

 Also make a complete revision backup of the code and config files once you
 get it working, this will save a lot of hair if the company in question
 hires someone else to tweak things in the future…

 Cheers,
 Mikel

Hello,

If a simple command like php -v (no script) results a seg fault then you
should follow Patrick's advice. Or try editing by hand
/usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini and comment out one by one the extensions
mentioned in there.

If you are lucky you will find one or more offending extensions that you
don't need and leave them commented out on uninstall them. If not, you
would have to recompile/reinstall the offending extensions or portupgrade
php and all extensions. Latest php versions in ports tree (all branches:
5.4.x, 5.3.x, even 5.2.x) seem to have resolve this issue.

Panagiotis

Re: Quantum SuperLoader 3 under Bacula on FreeBSD 8

 I am currently assembling a quote for an LTO-4 tape backup system.  So far, I 
 am looking at using a 16-slot Quantum SuperLoader 3 with LTO-4HH drive as the 
 tape unit.  Married to this will be a server to act as the backup server that 
 will drive the tape unit using Bacula to manage backups.  The server will be 
 a quad core X3440 system with 4 GB of RAM and four 1 TB SATA 7200 rpm hard 
 drives in a case that has room for eight hot-swap drives.  I plan on using 
 FreeBSD 8 on the system, using ZFS to raidz the drives together to provide 
 spool space for Bacula.  I will be using an Areca ARC-1300-4X PCIe SAS card 
 to interface with the tape drive.

 My main question is this: is the Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO-4 tape drive 
 supported by Bacula 5 on FreeBSD?  In particular, is the autoloader 
 supported?  The Bacula documentation indicates the SuperLoader works fully 
 under Bacula, though not explicitly whether under FreeBSD.

 The backup server will serve a network cluster of perhaps a dozen machines 
 with over 6 TB of storage, most of which is on the cluster's NFS server.  
 Does anyone have good advice on sizing the spool/holding/disk pool for a 
 Bacula server?  Is it imperative to have enough disk space to hold a full 
 backup, or is it sufficient to have enough space to maintain streaming to 
 tape?  (I don't have much experience of Bacula, having used it only to back 
 up to disk.)  In other words, do I need more 1 TB drives in my backup server?

 Finally, is 4 GB of RAM sufficient for good performance with ZFS?  Will ZFS 
 on FreeBSD be able to maintain full streaming speeds to tape, given the 
 various reports of I/O stalls under ZFS reported recently?

 Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

Hello Paul,

we are using successfully a Quantum Scalar 50 with an expansion box
and two F/C FH LTO-4 drives on FreeBSD 7-STABLE and Bacula 5.0.x.
FreeBSD 7-STABLE or 8-STABLE is recommended if you have a QLogiq F/C
card. Having Bacula's spooling area in a fast disk partition (e.g. a
RAID0 volume) would be a good idea too.

Hello,

we got an offer for the HP StorageWorks FC1242 and FC1243 Dual Channel
4 Gbps Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters and we are wondering if they
are compatible with FreeBSD. According to the specs they are based on
the Qlogic QLE2462 and QLA2462 chipsets.

Has anybody tried them successfully?

Thank you,

Hi there Peeps!

Somehow the mtr-port is bugging me a little. I want to install mtr on a

keep it that way. Since I couldn't find a package of mtr without the
GUI, I guess, I'm stuck with the port.

I've looked at the makefile and found the variable WITHOUT_X11. However,
a 'make -D WITHOUT_X11' and a 'make WITHOUT_X11=1' both[1] result in X.org
being downloaded and built. Now I am no real expert on makefiles but
AFAIK in this case it shouldn't matter, what value WITHOUT_X11 has, as
long as it is set at all.

Am I too thick to be getting the point here or have I missed something
not all that obvious?

Don't think it matters but the Plattform is SPARC64 and the Version is
6.1-RELEASE (no cvsup run yet).

Chris

[1] Both should actually do the same thing.


Hello,

we have the following lines in the /etc/make.conf of our non-X11 servers:

# no support for X Windows on this server
WITHOUT_X11=yes

works fine with the mtr port.

Re: Under Attack: Bandwidth throttling on 5.2.1?

This is probably going to tax the memory. I'm sorry in advance.

We observed 2 hangs and 3 crashes in the last 5 hours and finally  
after looking at the nature of the traffic, it appears to be little

attempt to reply to all messages with gambling and other spam. The  
referer in every case is a few obvious spam sites. We measured 33  
pages per second and all invoking perl (well you can image the load).  
It's killed the system in several was I've never even seen. We  
shutdown on purpose for the first time in years which is pretty bad  
for business. I'm readying the quad opteron tyan to take down and  
shove in it's place since the T1 can't swamp it, but still building.  
The machine is a dual 3.0 xeon with 4G and Intel 1000/Pro on 5.2.1  
with IPFW enabled. If I can configure throttling on this old a  
system, we could come back up I think and try ride out the attack.  
I've never done this before but in an earlier thread I saw where you  
configure a pipe such as:


ipfw pipe 1 config bw 256Kbit/s
ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from 192.168.1.2 80

then set sysctl.conf
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=1

Is that is all that's necessary for this old a system or is there  
anything else. If this is correct, would this keep this fellow from  
crashing


To use traffic shaping with IPFW you have to compile the kernel with the 
following options:


options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000

then you can add some lines like these to make your bandwidth limit to work:

#first flush all the previous pipes
ipfw -q -f pipe flush

ipfw pipe 1 config bw 256Kbit/s
ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from any to any

usually we use two pipes, one for download and one for upload so you can 
try something like this:



#first flush all the previous pipes
ipfw -q -f pipe flush

#upload bandwidth+download bandwidth=total bandwidth
#pipe for upload
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s
#pipe for download
ipfw pipe 2 config bw 256Kbit/s

server_port=20,21,80,443,995,...,etc
internal_network=192.168.0.0

#config upload
ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from $internal_network to any $server_port
#config upload
ipfw add pipe 2 tcp from any $server_port to $internal_network

The variables server_port and internal_network are examples of 
course... :-)
If you are running natd on your machine the you have to put rules AFTER 
the divert natd rule like these:

ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from {external_ip} to any $server_port
ipfw add pipe 2 tcp from any $server_port to $internal_network

The net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=1 must be set if you want your traffic to 
pass from pipes and not continue at next rules

Quite right. But I think that would still be helpful to the majority of 
users (of packages). If a maintainer can't build a package for a 
particular build environment due to lack of resources, we can always use 
the regular cluster builds for these architectures. We just gained a 
more timely release of the most wanted package(s), no?


Frankly, the availability of up-to-date packages is the only issue from 
this thread I really care about. I've been contemplating about graphical 
package installers for FreeBSD for some time and most ideas fall short 
since there would not be much point in using a package installer 
without... er... packages :-)

This is what you usually get in the Windows/Mac/Linux world. Macromedia, 
for instance, provides their own packages for Flash, naturally. The 
Eclipse foundation  provides binary packages for, say Linux, but Red Hat 
has chosen to provide its own rpm's from their repo.


What if we taught pkg_add to use something like INDEX, instead of a 
global PACKAGESITE variable, to hold information about each port's 
remote site? What if this was the secondary site, while the freebsd.org 
one remained the primary? This way you'd try to get the official 
package first and if you failed to find it, you'd get the maintainer's 
copy. Many people (myself included) have been doing something similar 
for GNOME and KDE, by asking portupgrade to try the marcuscom and 
fruitsalad repositories first.


Or how about we don't consume the cluster's capacity for building 
packages, but just for QA? Why not require me (the maintainer) to 
send-pr a URL to fetch the package's from and store them in the cluster 
(or straight to ftp-master)? Of course this would not work for people 
without the means to host the packages, or for unmaintained ports. We'd 
still have to use the ports cluster for them. For the security paranoid, 
add a big fat warning, that the contents of these packages are not 
verified or endorsed by the project. Maybe even, use two download 
locations: one for packages built by the cluster and another for 
packages submitted by the maintainers. IIUC, most Linux distributions 
have a similar arrangement.


Bottom line, since the package building role is becoming unbearable (at 
least for a timely delivery) for the project, why not let the ones who 
are already creating packages on their own, share the burden?


Regards,

Panagiotis

P.S.: it hasn't escaped me that using packages created from different 
systems could present dependency mismatches. But I would argue that this 
should be the maintainer's concern and moreover, it is something that is 
deemed acceptable in other systems. Furthermore, one could always use 
the ports system if he prefers.

It's my understanding that packages are built when possible.  They
often lag that which is in ports.  There are only so many cycles in a

order in which the packages are built (most used first? Though not sure

   I continuously rebuild packages using a method that only builds
   changed packages (new, updated to new version or with a dependency

   less than a day to several days for packages becoming available, but
   as I said in another reply I'm not uploading them now because of the
   looming release cycle.
 
  With no intention to criticize your way of thinking or your work,
  release cycles sometimes could take a bit more time than scheduled.
  You, the developers and maintainers, know that better than us, the
  users. In the mean time there is a whole community of (end?) users
  that could benefit from the prompt availability of latest ports in
  packages. I'm referring mostly to desktop or workstation users, since
  the most of us build our ports from the sources for our servers.
  Although, I'm eager to use the portupgrade -P option more often for
  our (less critical) ports.
 
  Is there a chance that you, along with the release engineering team,
  reconsider your policy?

 It's basically forced upon us by the finite bandwidth of mirror sites.
 At release time they have many gigabytes of ISO images and other
 install media, etc to download, without adding many gigabytes of
 packages.  If we don't back off from uploading packages in the lead up
 to the release, then what happens is that many mirror sites are out of
 date and do not carry the release media at the time of release.

Well, speaking as the maintainer of the ftp.gr.freebsd.org mirror site
I would say that in this case the monolithic form of the FreeBSD FTP
repository is a drawback. Mirroring around 350GB/1.600.000 files, or
even a subset, is a difficult (see insufficient) task. Separating the
repository and the mirroring process in parts (releases, packages
etc.) could be a solution..

users. In the mean time there is a whole community of (end?) users
that could benefit from the prompt availability of latest ports in
packages. I'm referring mostly to desktop or workstation users, since
the most of us build our ports from the sources for our servers.
Although, I'm eager to use the portupgrade -P option more often for
our (less critical) ports.

Is there a chance that you, along with the release engineering team,
reconsider your policy?

Both the native jdk14 and jdk15 provide good Java VMs.  jdk15 is 
newer and might be unstable (hasn't been for me).  jdk14 is more 
tested and is the default java for FreeBSD on i386.


HTH,
Micah



can you have both versions installed ?
and how do you choose which one of them to use (for instance in 
mozilla) ?


m.



Yes, you can have both installed at the same time. 
/usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper makes switching JVMs easy using 
environment variables, however it doesn't seem to support switching 
browser plugins.  For that you'd probably have to switch the symlink 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and restart the browser.


HTH,
Micah








hello,

i've just tried it and realised it had already been installed as a jdk* 
dependency. :)


however, according to the man page, running the following should select 
the most native and up-to-date version of java:


$ java -version
java version 1.4.2-p8
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 
1.4.2-p8-root_21_jan_2006_21_32)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-p8-root_21_jan_2006_21_32, mixed 
mode)


however, i've got newer version installed too:

$ cat /usr/local/etc/javavms
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java # FREEBSD-JDK1.5.0
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java # FREEBSD-JDK1.4.2
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/java # Linux-Sun-JDK1.4.2.10

how come 1.5.0 wasn't selected in the example above please ??


Because it is not supposed to be as well-tested as the 1.4 version. Of 
course as the man page says, you can set various combinations of 
environment variables to influence the choice, which is what most of us do.


Cheers,

 Try the following (make sure you have a backup first ;))
 
 perl -pi -e 's/STRING_TO_FIND/STRING_TO_REPLACE_WITH/g' filename
 
 e.g. to replace all instances of foo with bar in a file called test
 you'd do:
 
 perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' test
 
 You'd need to write a shell script to recursively run this on in each

Something like:

find /mydir -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' {} \;

fast and effective.

 Remove options INET6 from your kernel config file

 There may be a way to turn it off at runtime using sysctl, but I don't
 know what it is, and in hindsight it probably wouldn't make much sense
 to do that at runtime, although I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. :)
