Hi Jimmie,
Out of curiousity, what were you trying to do when you issued that command?
And this reminds me of an equally stupid thing I did a few years ago.
I had a directories named share on three different partitions. These
were for files that I and my then current gf shared. At one point I
wanted to clean them all out, and issued this command:
find -s / -type d -name share -exec rm -Rd {}/* \; -exec rm -Rd {}/.* \;
Fortunately I had backups. And after that I renamed those share
directories to something else.
And yes, I too sat in the stupid corner.

Instead of ha-proxy, look into relayd -- in conjunction with a pf(4) firewall this will do exactly what you want. It can operate purely at the IP level or even at layer 2 if you want to implement DSR. Another alternative to consider is varnish, although I'm not sure that has much in the way of health-checking the back-end servers behind it. varnish is a reverse-proxy / web accelerator so can give you some performance boost as well.

SMP and ACPI problem ??
Hi, To make a long story shorteverything worked fine on my system (7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD). Last night I was updating stuff on my windoswXP guess (under qemu) and performed a clean shutdown. This morning, after bringing back up my system it has been unbearably slow. Without doing anyting to FreeBSD, it suddenly started working in SMP mode - recognizing my 2 processors. Before, it never did this...and looking at the speed it is going now, I'm happy it didn't. After googling a bit, I tried to disable ACPI in order to fall back to single processor mode, but my system keeps acting up like it never did before. Very slow booting and KDM/KDE loading. Once up it's ok until I run a portupgrade or such. 1. What are some suggestions as to make it run 'normal' again? 2. Is it possible to make it actually run better in SMP mode? 3. Can my updates on the Qemu WindowsXP host make my FreeBSD system suddenly recognize the 2nd CPU? - this doesn't make sense to me but that's the only thing I worked on last night. I hope I can get some pointers as to what could have caused this and what I can do to get it back to the way it was.

Network Stack Code Re-write (Possible motivations...?)
Greetings List. If I am sending to the wrong list, then please let me know what would have been a more appropriate choice. I am attempting to research what is meant when, I saw that Juniper had re-written the network stack from the base freebsd network stack, to what is used in JUNOS. What exactly is meant by this? What is included in the network stack, when mentioned that it was completely re-written? I am a budding computer scientist, and would like to know where to start investigating how this would be done, and why they felt that the defacto network-centric OS for decades needed to be rewritten? Was this simply so they could rename the portions that they wrote as their own, in a business-savvy decision making process, or was it necessary from a technical standpoint?

Re: Network Stack Code Re-write (Possible motivations...?)
Thank you very much for the intuitive commentary. Sorry for making the inquiry so specific to Juniper, however, I could not think of another source that would be a good example. I fully understand how the inquiries appeared, however, thanks for answering what you could. The inquiry was meant to be more general, so I apologize for making it seem Juniper specific. However, the intuitive list member response strikes again. Thanks alot for you input. I, as you, can't really figure out why they felt, years ago, that they needed to re-invent the wheel. Please give anymore insight if you have it.

Probably because FreeBSD stack does not assume existence of any routing-dedicated hardware, while for sure in high end routers there are such things. maybe they do mixer software-hardware routing. anyway it seems strange i would rather use FreeBSD running computer as control plane for hardware router, that would fill routing tables in router's chips memory.

Re: Network Stack Code Re-write (Possible motivations...?)
A year, or two, ago, I found such information buried within the Juniper website; however, upon recent attempts at further investigation, both for learning about certifications, and subject matter for this topic, I am unable to locate said information. The historic Juniper blurbs were very informative. I am sure that the information is still available, however, I have not been successful in locating it. As for the suggested avenues of investigation, I have not had any coding or employment experience at that level of router development so I don't have the level of specific knowledge-base to make such an inquiry about said reference tables. I also do not have $10-$20K or more to purchase a Juniper router box, so there would not much real motivation to answer my inquiries if I were to be able to get into contact with a sales rep with enough knowledge of the system code to have information to give me. I am very much making an initial inquiry in attempting to get that level of experience, hence my inquiry to the list. I am simply trying to make my own inquiries about the general case, so as to gain knowledge of what routes to take to gain said coding/development experience via experimentation, etc... (Please excuse the pun.) Thanks for the input, though. On Sat, 2008-12-20 at 20:53 +0100, Wojciech Puchar wrote: Thank you very much for the intuitive commentary.

I, as you, can't really figure out why they felt, years ago, that they needed to re-invent the wheel. once again - first ask WHAT EXACTLY FreeBSD is doing in their router? a) just preparing tables for router chips? - then FreeBSD's network stack is OK b) actually performing part of routing activity cooperating with ASIC's? if so - rewriting/modifying network stack was needed for sure. ___ 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
Re: Network Stack Code Re-write (Possible motivations...?)
Thanks again for further information on this topic. Where can I find more information this as a research topic. I am talking about Academic/PHD-level information or industry-level information. (I mean that I am looking at this from a knowledge-base expansion point of view, so don't filter out possible academic avenues because that is where I am mostly coming from in the first place.)

Thanks alot for you input. I, as you, can't really figure out why they felt, years ago, that they needed to re-invent the wheel. Bear in mind that such companies may have a range of products, that range from something not unlike a pc with lots of interfaces up to something with multiple levels of embedded processors each running their own OSes. In the latter case you need a network stack that's largely OS independent, so it can spread itself across the (non-symmetric) processors. You may also need to be able to separate fast-path, slow-path and control path for high performance. Once you have done all that, you've left the native OS stacks unused, leaving them available for the user interface or in some cases communication between sub-systems. This separation is good on security grounds too, it's preferable not to have network management in-band. ___ 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

Re: IPFilter section in Handbook needs updating
And incomplete yes i agree that the doc does need to be updated and examples (more) need to be added. --- On Fri, 12/5/08, Dean Weimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Dean Weimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IPFilter section in Handbook needs updating To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Friday, December 5, 2008, 10:07 AM I was just setting up ipfilter and ipmon on a FreeBSD 7 server, and noticed that the ipmon and syslog information under the ipfilter section of the handbook is incorrect. The section reads: -snip- 31.5.7 IPMON Logging Syslogd uses its own special method for segregation of log data. It uses special groupings called facility and level. IPMON in -Ds mode uses security as the facility name. All IPMON logged data goes to security The following levels can be used to further segregate the logged data if desired: LOG_INFO - packets logged using the log keyword as the action rather than pass or block. LOG_NOTICE - packets logged which are also passed LOG_WARNING - packets logged which are also blocked LOG_ERR - packets which have been logged and which can be considered short To setup IPFILTER to log all data to /var/log/ipfilter.log, you will need to create the file. The following command will do that: # touch /var/log/ipfilter.log The syslog function is controlled by definition statements in the /etc/syslog.conf file. The syslog.conf file offers considerable flexibility in how syslog will deal with system messages issued by software applications like IPF. Add the following statement to /etc/syslog.conf: security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log The security.* means to write all the logged messages to the coded file location. To activate the changes to /etc/syslog.conf you can reboot or bump the syslog task into re-reading /etc/syslog.conf by running /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload Do not forget to change /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the new log you just created above. -snip- In trying to configure this I found that ipmon -Dsa doesn't log to security, but logs to local0 instead. Reading the man page for ipmon does in fact state this. However it also list the -L option as being able to change this default behavior, I tried ipmon -DSa -L security, it excepts this, but doesn't actually change the logging to use security. It still only outputs to the syslog using local0, I also tried using ipmon -DSa -L local7 as well, still outputs to local0. It was easy enough to modify my syslog.conf to output the local0.* as well as security.* to the /var/log/security file. However it would be greatly appreciated if someone that actually understands what's going on here could get this info updated. It would have saved me some time, as well as I am sure some other people in the future. Of course it's always possible I am missing something simple here that is causing this discrepancy, please do inform me if I did. It's probably worth mentioning that I am starting ipmon using the rc.conf file with ipmon_enable=YES and ipmon_flags=-DSa, just in case the /etc/rc.d/ipmon script actually changes the default behavior of ipmon in some way, though I didn't see anything in it that should. And ps wwaux | grep ipmon does display the process running with the flags exactly as stated on the ipmon_flags line of the /etc/rc.conf file.

You need desktop for Unix (Linux) to be adopted by simple users. Also GUI makes life much easier even for advanced users. I don't want to deal command lines/config files for mundane things like finding and setting up wireless networks, playing CDs/DVDs, etc. GUI integrated with desktop would make this much less time consuming. If I need to (re)configure the behaviour of som app or part of the system, I edit the appropriate config file, which takes about a minute or two... If a user of some fancy desktop with lots of whistles and bells wants to do the same, he/she has to browse through an extensive hierarchy of categories and subcategories to get to the setting he/she wants to change. That hierarchy is more than often far from intuitive, so that very same task may take ten minutes or more. In what way is the latter easier than the first? I see none... just window manager is enough, try fvwm2 maybe icewm maybe other etc. not really enough. Unfortunately open source is pretty much a failure when it comes to GUI and desktop. Any kind of GUI, look at ddd for example. Untested development-stage software (like kde4) is being released to the public for some reason.

keymapping - numlock doesn't work anymore
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE (qemu host) X.Org X Server 1.4.2 HP Compaq nc8430 laptop Hi, recently I performed a portupgrade (-R xorg-server) and now my numlock doesn't work anymore under Xorg. Since I was having problems with my key-mapping in Qemu (key 1 and 4 did not work), I used the numlock to boot my FreeBSD guest in single user mode. In the CTRL+ALT+F1 session (not sure who you call this non-X tty session), the num_lock works fine. I've looked at the xev and from what I see this confirms that my num_lock is not working.

G4U does not work with data, it works with partitions or whole disks. If you get that concept, it will help in planning what you do with it. A partition normally has a file system which has a file access table. If you want file lookups to work properly afterwards, you need the target partition to be at least the same size as the original. I've tried to keep my answer OS agnostic as this BSD based utility is capable of doing the job for any OS. For broader hardware support, I suggest consideration of udpcast, which is Linux based. gzipped disk clone image files made from g4u are compatible with restoring the same to a new target from udpcast, in case you wondered. --Donald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You've got lots of useful answers on duplicating the system other ways, but I thought I'd mention that dd's performance can be enhanced by providing a blocksize.

freeze and crashes
Have a issue here. I've been running FreeBSD 6.3 release for about 6 months now without problem. Then last week I purchase another external HD and installed release 7.0. Everything went great for about 3 weeks. Then suddenly my 7.0 started to crash (kde freezing, sudden reboots, etc). The first time happened when I was performing a portsnap on a FreeBSD Qemu session. It came up to the point where this 7.0 installation wasn't workable anymore. Since I need to work to earn money as the rest of us, I fell back to my 6.3 release external HD - copied over my data files and now I'm starting to get the same symthoms. Input/output errors, reboot when performing a simple 'man something'. - could this be a virus or something? I'm not sure how or what I can do to find out what could be the cause of this problem? Is there anywhere I can find out more about debugging such strange behavior.

What I DO suggest is that you build a debug kernel and/or minimally enable the kernel debugger (DDB). Then when the box is frozen you can get into the debugger (CTRL-ALT-ESC), type bt, and post it on the list to give everybody a chance to understand what is hanging (show msgbuf as well actually). Here is some good documentation on how to build kernels (and debug ones) if you don't already know: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Generally speaking I would enable in my KERNCONF file (GENERIC, etc. under src/sys/arch/conf/) # Turn off debugging symbols makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Debugger support options KDB options DDB options KDB_TRACE If you want to go further, for example you believe this is a locking issue then you can go whole hog and do: # Heavy duty debugger options options DEBUG_LOCKS options INVARIANTS options INVARIANT_SUPPORT options WITNESS options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN Be warned that the kernel.debug KO (kernel object) will run a lot slower than a stock non-debug kernel (the extra metadata the kernel is keeping track off etc.) so there are instances where running a debug kernels could make a timing bug disappear or appear more/less frequently. In any event, if the problem is easily reproducible, I whole-heartily recommend you minimally enable KDB/DDB support so you can dump things on the appropriate list AS WELL AS build a complete debug kernel that may catch the issue (you will see console messages including lock order reversals and other nastiness).

I actually resolved the issues described. I don't know if this was the true source of the disfunctional AP services, however, when I turned off routed all became sound again. I had also rebuilt world, and installed a newly compiled version of 6-stable, however, that still did not resolve the issues as of the previous email.

I often replace the fan if it is showing signs of noise from bearing getting burned out. I'm speaking mainly of home and small office PCs. This is something that won't happen as much in a server room since the air is cleaner, but I'd guess the O.P. wasn't in that environment since he is wasting 3 days before trying another power supply. Power supplies do have a limit of life related to the quality of your electricity (and excessive heat). I can recall the bad electrolyte scandle with several motherboard brands 5 years ago. The explanation of the shortened capacitor lifespan due to the electrolyte missing an ingredient was a bit of an education into what capacitors do. They do have a limited lifespan related to heat and the number of hours they are exposed to a high ripple current. Here is an excellent wikipedia entry on capacitor plague which will explain it in layman's terms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague If you have not read about this before, it may be an eye opener. --Donald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Picking a backup solution that can't back up some of your servers, and opting to fix the problem by getting rid of the servers, seems to me to be doing things the wrong way round - irrespective of which OS you're forcing yourself to get rid of. Well, we are not going to ditch the Windows Servers, nor run 2 backup solutions, so FreeBSD must go. We do have the client that someone made for Legato 6.0 some time ago and we are using that. A bug report appeared that the default configure for the client was insecure. It wasn't fixed after a year and the FBSD resolution was to drop the client from FBSD packages. Legato didn't make that FBSD legato 6.0 client package. Someone clever from within the FreeBSD developers made it based on how the package for Linux worked. From the pattern that followed, it seems that developer or contributor didn't maintain it afterward. So from our perspective, FreeBSD dropped something we have relied on to make FreeBSD doable in our server room. I know, there are always people who will say: you can't complain, you go fix it, but I'm sorry I'm not able to spend the time on it.

Re: FreeBSD Linux distro
As a Sysadmin I have 2 cents to add to this discussion. I think the whole chest beating, king of the hill, stand taking, mantra repeating is juvenile. There is no superior OS. As I do my job I don't start out figuring how I can slide my favorite distro into the equation. The OS is not at the center of decision making. What we want to get done is at the center. The beginning point is typically the application or service, and sometimes the application and service combined with the given hardware. Given these requirements, then we find an OS which supports them. As far as stability is concerned, I can't remember the last time something konked out on me because of a kernel bug. If something goes weird these days I'm most often to find hardware is the problem. We currently run over a dozen of each of Redhat Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD, and two Debian servers. If someone has high uptimes they just don't believe in kernel security updates - it is nothing to be proud of. I'd like to see a resource which promotes intelligent decision making coming from the point of view of supporting the application or hardware, as this is essentially the angle I believe a sysadmin is coming from. For example, no where in this have I heard a peep about backup software. Anyone serious about IT is serious about backup. Yet there is no support for EMC (Legato) Networker in FreeBSD, and this is why our organization is migrating away from this FreeBSD. So for example, you can outline what backup options are available compared to Linux. --Donald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
