Re: problem in changing serial console speed!
Hi, So basically you need the following: 1) Set the baud rate and the com interface in BIOS (ex: com1 and baud rate 19200) 2) /boot/loader.conf: ipmi_load="YES" 3) reboot 4) - use "dmesg | grep uart" and you will something like this: uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 uart0: [FILTER] uart0: console (19200,n,8,1) Then, change /boot/loader.conf to reflect the serial interface found by the OS as ipmi-enabled (PS: if you find "uart1" with dmesg, use "uart1" in "loader.conf") # IPMI settings hint.uart.0.at="isa" < - use "dmesg" hint.uart.0.baud="19200" <- same as in BIOS hint.uart.0.port="0x3f8"< - use "dmesg" hint.uart.0.flags="0x10"< - use "dmesg" hint.uart.0.irq="4" < - use "dmesg" console="comconsole,vidconsole" comconsole_speed="19200" < - same as in BIOS boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" 5) /etc/ttys - if you found, for example, uart0 as ipmi-enabled, do the folowing: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt100 off secure - ex for uart1: ttyu1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" vt100 off secure - make sure to match the BAUD-rate, it;s important :) 6) /etc/make.conf (you need to rebuild the boot blocks with IPMI-enabled) # IPMI boot block build options BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=0x3f8 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=19200 7) compile new boot-blocks: cd /usr/src/sys/boot make clean make make install 8) reboot and pray :) PS: with IPMI-console enabled, I was never able to see anything beyond the messages that the kernel displays when booting (ex: no "Starting apache. done" or "Starting ssh. done").

Re: Installing FreeBSD 9 on an AMD 64 with 16 GB of memory
Hi, I installed FreeBSD8.2 amd64 the other day on a 98GB RAM machine with 24 CPU's (a supermicro 2U server). Due to this alone, I doubt that the bootloader is limited in any way by the amount of RAM the machine has. However, I experienced the same behavior on several "small" machines (normal PC's) and in most cases, the controller was the culprit. I see you have LSI raid module .. weird, I installed several 8.2's on several servers with LSI raid modules. I cannot think of anything right now as the situations I've experienced in the past were solved symply by removing the raid controller from the machine or configuring all hdd's as single disks.

listing ZFS pool name in fixit mode
Hi guys, I have a 8.2-amd64 machine on which I blew up the boot blocks (isn't booting any more). It's s supermicro server btw and we have a ZFSonRooT setup there. The way I want to go about fixing it is booting into single user mode, mounting all the datasets, undoing the modification I did to the boot blocks, recompiling and installing the "old" version of the boot blocks for the system to boot. The problem is that after I boot a 8.2-DVD and then go to fixit mode, load the opensolaris and the zfs modules, I cannot list the ZFS pool name (I don;t know the ZFS pool name because I didn;t setup this machine) and without the name, I cannot import the pool to fix the boot blocks. So, my question is if there is a way to list the zpool in single user mode so that I know which pool I have to import or if there might be another way of fixing this problem. I already tried "zpool list" but it was no good. -- Best regards, Claudiu Vasadi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

hanging process
Hi guys,
I have a amd64 8.2-RELEASE box running on a core2duo 2.2 GHz Intel with 6GB
of RAM (ddr2). Earlier today I started "cvsup -g -L 2 -h `fastest_cvsup -q
-c tld` /root/cvsup/kernel-supfile" and at some point, my ISP had a problem
and my ssh connection dropped. Since that point, the server has a really low
response time ("man top" takes ~1 minute to display). Besides this, I can't
even reboot and a "shutdown -r now" halts the system with "some processes
could not be killed" message.
I manually killed the hanging ssh session and also flushed the pf state,
reloading the rules (pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf) but I have the same
problem.
CTRL+T after the "reboot" cmd shows:
"load: 0.00 cmd: reboot 61080 [zilog->zl_cv_writer)] 49.39r 0.00u 0.00s 0%
1216k"
but pretty much nothing happens.
In the past, I had the same problem while running portmaster via ssh after
my initial session dropped.
It seems there is a hanging process but I cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated.

ipsec vpn - gif_if connection problem
Hello guys, I have 3x 8.1-RELEASE i386 machines with a custom kernel that consists of the GENERIC kernel plus: options IPSEC options IPSEC_DEBUG device crypto the 3 extra options needed for IPSEC/racoon VPN. All the setup was made according to [URL="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ipsec.html";] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ipsec.html[/URL] and it worked. I got to the racoon/setkey part and after I managed to get that working too, at some point, the gif interfaces stopped communicating (a.k.a no more connection between the 3 machines). At first, I thought it's a routing problem but I didn't see anything weird; then I turned to the firewall (pf) and I disabled it but with no effect. Step by step I disabled racoon, setkey and recreated the gif interfaces but still, no effect. For the sake of sanity, I will detail below only 2 machines: machine 1 (192.168.1.0/24 gw 192.168.1.1): [r...@mainserver1 ~]# ifconfig gif2 gif2: flags=8051 metric 0 mtu 1280 tunnel inet 79.113.55.0 --> 79.113.90.52 inet 192.168.1.1 --> 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xff00 options=1 [r...@mainserver1 ~]# netstat -f inet -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 79.113.48.1 UGS 0 123132 tun0 79.113.48.1 link#5 UHS 0 0 tun0 79.113.55.0 link#5 UHS 0 16 lo0 127.0.0.1 link#4 UH 0 1287 lo0 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.10.1 UGS 0 277 tap0 192.168.1.0/24 link#2 U 0 3249916 rl0 192.168.1.1 link#2 UHS 1 1 lo0 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.1 UGS 0 0 gif2 192.168.2.1 link#9 UH 0 3 gif2 192.168.10.0/24 link#8 U 0 0 tap0 192.168.10.2 link#8 UHS 0 0 lo0 machine 2 (192.168.2.0/24 gw 192.168.2.1): [r...@mainserver2 ~]# ifconfig gif1 gif1: flags=8051 metric 0 mtu 1280 tunnel inet 79.113.90.52 --> 79.113.55.0 inet 192.168.2.1 --> 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 options=1 [r...@mainserver2 ~]# netstat -f inet -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.100.144.12 UGS 0 811847 tun0 10.100.144.12 link#5 UHS 0 0 tun0 79.113.90.52 link#5 UHS 0 175 lo0 127.0.0.1 link#4 UH 0 1043 lo0 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.1 UGS 0 16 gif0 192.168.0.1 link#6 UH 0 19 gif0 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 UGS 0 0 gif1 192.168.1.1 link#7 UH 0 4 gif1 192.168.2.0/24 link#2 U 0 5702099 rl0 192.168.2.1 link#2 UHS 2 0 lo0 machine 1 uses gif2 (as it goes to machine2) and machine 2 uses gif1 (as it goes to machine 1) Scenario: Both gif_if created.

ipsec with dynamic IP
Hello fellas, I have 2x 8.1-RELEASE machines and I need to create a vpn between them. I've been reading the handbook on this subject and following the example there, I was able to establish a link. The only problem is that both my machines have dynamic (external) IP. My way of "solving" this little issue would be to create a script that would check each machine for a new external IP and if it finds it, replace it wherever it is needed (gif interface, racoon conf. file) My question to you is if there is another, cleaner, way of achieving this and if any of you faced the same situation, how did you come to solve it ? Also, is there a way to make the gif interface persistent over reboots ? I couldn;t find any so again, a script comes to mind. -- Best regards, Claudiu Vasadi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

This would explain the fact that it cannot find the file in the first place.

mountpoint not existent, droping to single user mode
Hello fellas, I have a 8.0 i386 vmware machine for the sake of testing the following behavior: What happened when a "secondary" hdd cannot be mounted at boot ? From experience I know the OS drops to single user mode, which I find incredibly stupid because a "non-OS" hdd should not stop the OS from booting up (imagine the hdd has a malfunction and then you get lucky enough to get a power surge - the OS won't come up because of a darn non-OS-important hdd). TEST scenario: 2 hdd's. The system is installed on the first one, and the second one has "/mnt/2" as mountpoin. The 2nd disk was labeled and a new ufs partition was created. I added the corresponding fstab entries and then I deliberately removed the "/mnt/2" folder. FYI: this "secondary" hdd has no data on it whatsoever. Then I rebooted and of course the system went in single user mode. And now my question: "WHY" (I know that "rc" finishes abnormally) The hdd has no relevant data on it, the OS has no files on it ... basically it does not get in the way of anything (except the perfect execution of the "rc" framework). Anyway, it seems to me that "secondary" hdd's mount failure should be "ignored" and an OS should be able to come up if one mountpoint does not exist or if an entry in fstab is wrong (again, I am talking about non-OS related hdd/mountpoints). To make things worst, I tested a RHEL5 and the system booted without any problems even if the "secondary" hdd's mp was missing.

That would let you know for sure if they really are the problem or > if it's something else. I could try that but it will take some time since I am only administering the box and I have no access to it (fizicaly) > Are you sure the power surge didn't affect the power supply? Yes I am. The other 4 disks are ok and the system has no other symptoms of any kind > Also did you do anything to the system after the power surge (like open it > up for any reason where there may be a loose wire not plugged in all the > way). Nope. > The last thing I would mention is this could all be a coincidence and it > might be related to heat, make sure all your fans are working and that there > isn't any big dust buildup inside (gogo compressed air). > Crossed my mind too. I ran long and short smart test on it and it came up ok. Temp is ~37 degrees celsius. Like I said, the disks were ok before the power surge. All the fans are working fine.

box reboot after hdd write error
Hello fellas, My system is a 8.0-RELEASE with 6 hdd's. 2 days ago I had some power failures and 2 disks were affected. These 2 hdd;s are connected to "atapci0: port 0xd000-0xd007,0xd100-0xd103,0xd200-0xd207,0xd300-0xd303,0xd400-0xd40f mem 0xfa4a-0xfa4a01ff irq 12 at device 4.0 on pci2" s-ata controller. Before the power surge, the disks were operating normally. I use them for storage, therefore no system data is kept on them. The issue here is that after the write failure, the box reboots. Up to this point I cannot figure out why it reboots, since the disks contain no "relevant" data (from a OS point of view). Do you think it's normal for an OS to reboot if 2 disks have write errors ? even more so, if the disks have no OS files on them ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

gigabit LAN switching to 100Mb lan
Hello fellas, I have a 8.0-release system with 1 gigabit LAN and 1x 100Mb lan card. They are working fine until I add a second gigabit lancard. After I insert the second one, the first gigabit lan card drops to 100Mb. If I remove the second one, the first one goes back to gigabit. The network attached to the first one is running at 100Mb when both cards are inserted and gigabit when only 1 card is inserted.

isc-dhcp leasing wrong IP's
Hello guys,
I have a F-BSD 8.0 box running isc-dhcp with the following simple config:
authoritative;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 86400;
ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.150;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}
as you can see, the lease range is between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.150
but for some reason, another BSD box always gets 192.168.0.8.
I can't explain this since this is the only DHCP server on the network and I
see no error logs.
The other BSD box says:
Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient[1292]: DHCPREQUEST on sk0 to
255.255.255.255 port 67
Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient[1292]: DHCPACK from 192.168.0.5
Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient: New IP Address (sk0): 192.168.0.8
Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient: New Subnet Mask (sk0): 255.255.255.0
Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient: New Broadcast Address (sk0):

Jul 29 00:25:04 mainserver2 dhclient: New Routers (sk0): 192.168.0.1
Jul 29 00:25:05 mainserver2 dhclient[1292]: bound to 192.168.0.8 -- renewal
in 43200 seconds.
It looks legit but still .. why is isc-dhcp handing out IP's ouside the
lease range ?

for others who may have the same issue -> http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10316 you need to replace your "base". PS: after you replace your "base" distribution and reboot, you will notice the system will not load and you will have to issue "boot GENERIC" at the "boot>" prompt. The workaround for this is to issue "nextboot -k GENERIC" after you upgraded the "base" distribution and BEFORE you reboot.

ifconfig -alias - removed wrong ip ?
Hello guys, I have a 7.2-stable Freebsd running on a 2.66 Ghz 478 socket mobo with 1 GB DDR1 ram. I added another ip on my rl0 interface, brought it up, everything was fine (until i screwed it up :( ). I wanted then to remove the alias IP but i wrote a wrong command (ifconfig rl0 -alias) and since then I have no access to the box. I then turned to my vmware FreeBSD to reproduce the situation and I was stuned to find out that that command I wrote, removes the "normal" IP and not the alias one. OK, normaly (I think) i should be able to connect to the alias IP. well, It's not the case 2 things here: 1.) Is it normal for the ifconfig rl0 -alias to remove the "normal" IP and not the alias one ? (I think that by this syntax it could be right but the parameter "-alias" is specified and the OS should know to remove the alias IP and not the normal IP) 2) I dnt really understand why am I not able to connect to the second (alias) ip? It seems that somehow it's dependant to the "normal" one I must say I was not really reading the handbook for the 2nd point here will do it now though PS: box is 3 countryes away from me so manual intervention is out of the question (although I have some sort of online-suport (If my 73 years old grandmother can be called that :)) ) ) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I guess you are correct. The question is why is it doing this ? And on both drives ? Feels to me a problem for the developers. HDD's didn't give me one problem since the day the got installed. I'm not saing that they are very good HDD's (in fact they are quite cheap ones) but fail all of a sudden ? And leaving this asside, they dnt give one error on masive transfers and still have very good transfer speed. What I'm saing is that hdd failure could be a posibility of course, but a unlikely one at this point. My problem is that I do not know what tehnik TSM server uses for creating those files because at some point it fails. Strainge thing is that it goes over 1G. First it creates the file and then it populates the file up until the given limit (25G in this case). I will try something tomorow. I will again start the tsm server to add the space (the 25G free space) to the pool and will monitor the file size up until the OS crashes. I'm very curious what's the size of the file when the OS crashes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
IBM TSM server
Hello again. About a week ago I cryed on your shoulders but since no one is answering I am crying again. This time with more accurate data. My sistem is a P4 2.66 Mhz (sk 478) Intel P4 processor with 1 GB DDR1 ram, mobo Asus p4p800-x with 2 HDD's. One of them (ad2 ) is a Samsing SpinPoint of 80GB ATA and is the one used by the actual OS. The second one (ad6) is a WD 250 GB S-ATA2 and has some data on it. The server acts as a web server, ftp server, NAS, samba svr, a p2p server (verlihub) and just about every normal app a mental deranged person can have running :P (those kind that dnt have money to buy the ultra ultimate bullshit in hardware or more than two 2 pc's. Leaving this asside here is my situation. Ups, almost forgot. I have a FreeBSD-7.0-STABLE. I have a Windows machine with vmware and solaris on it. In solaris there is a IBM TSM (Tape Storage Management) Server. The server can use disks over tapes to build pools. So I added the local windows disks, and have some 30 G of free space on freebsd, so I thought, I would add them to the storage pool. There's my mistake ... thinking :P Every time I try to add that space to the storage pool the system crashes with a kernel panic. Here is the /var/log/messages file Jun 7 21:03:45 da1 fsck: /dev/ad6s1d: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=5652481 (0 should be 4) (CORRECTED) Jun 7 21:03:45 da1 fsck: /dev/ad6s1d: 16137 files, 45577224 used, 15357050 free (2210 frags, 1919355 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: subdisk6: detached Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: ad6: detached Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1d[READ(offset=86540058624, length=16384)]error = 6 Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1e[READ(offset=63203147776, length=16384)]error = 6 Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1d[READ(offset=86539010048, length=16384)]error = 6 [...] [...] [...] Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1d[READ(offset=46438858752, length=16384)]error = 6 Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1d[READ(offset=46252277760, length=16384)]error = 6 Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: cpuid = 0 Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: Uptime: 21m50s Jun 7 21:10:47 da1 kernel: Physical memory: 1011 MB So I'm guesing the script that adds the space to the pool is doing some crap. I tryed using both HDD's but the result is the same -> sistem crash. I have no kernel dump file defined yet (dnt ask why, I've setted up long ago but for some reason this time it didn't write to it) . REPRODUCE: The only way to reproduce the problem is by telling tsm server to add the available 30G off free space. What the tsm server doesm, is it creates a file of a given size, in this case 25G out of the total of 30G, and then populates the file with whatever data it is given as backup data. I really have no ideea if this is the right mailing list for this matter. If it is not, please advise in this matter. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

system reboot because of hdd
Hello ppl. Straight to business. FreeBSD 7.1-stable 2 hdd. 1 is ad2 and the other is ad6. ad2 is the BSD hdd, and ad6 is just for data (movies, music, etc). ad2 is a 80GB Samsung P-ata133 and ad6 is a WD 250GB S-ata2. While running a process that was trying to create a 25GB file on a 30 GB partition on the second hdd (ad2) I experienced ssh outage. Everything came back to life after a short perioud of ~2 minutes. So, again I started the process. This time, the outage was about 5 minutes. I was busy with something else and did not run the process again. 2 minutes after that i get a call from a customer that some thing is not working. so I check it and surprize, the OS rebooted itself. so, went to the logs and this is what i found out (/var/log/messages): May 29 22:26:30 da1 kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=419468447 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (0 retries left) LBA=419468447 May 29 22:26:41 da1 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 timed out LBA=419468447 May 29 22:26:41 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1f[WRITE(offset=19447808, length=16384)]error = 5 May 29 22:26:35 da1 syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: ad6: FAILURE - device detached May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: subdisk6: detached May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: ad6: detached May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1f[WRITE(offset=36683776, length=16384)]error = 6 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1f[WRITE(offset=16908288, length=16384)]error = 6 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1f[WRITE(offset=36700160, length=16384)]error = 6 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: g_vfs_done():ad6s1f[WRITE(offset=114688, length=16384)]error = 6 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: cpuid = 0 May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: Uptime: 45d22h15m29s May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: Physical memory: 1003 MB May 29 22:26:35 da1 kernel: Dumping 232 MB: 217 201 185 169 153 137 121 105 89 73 57 41 25 9 and (/var/log/all.log): May 29 22:54:49 da1 fsck: /dev/ad6s1f: 6 files, 12 used, 17132271 free (31 frags, 2141530 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) exacly where the file was created. but it was 1 not 6 files that i wanted to create but 1. the process that I run is "dsmfmt" of TSM server for Sun. it creates a file volume of a specific size for use in tsm server itself for defining storage pool capacity. so, I know that the hdd was to the limit. It could be a hardware issue I know, but right now dnt have resources to try somewere else so I'm asking a oppinion. Has anyone dealt with this situation before ?
