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. (everything works fine and then suddenly it freezes permanently or just reboots on its own) Thanks, PS: I'm about to reinstall the 7.0 release and hope that that will work normal again.

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.

keymapping -> numlock doesn't work anymore

spontaneous reboot
Hi, A server spontaneously rebooted last night. I don't see why. The last item in the messages file prior to reboot was: Jun 15 01:40:39 machinename /kernel: NMI ISA 24, EISA ff There is nothing atypical in the messages log prior to that. The server is running fine again now. Does that message point to a hardware issue?

Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?
... and is there anything we can do as a community to prevent it? I've been a FreeBSD users since '94, and proud of it ... and have vehemently defended, all the way, my decision to use it vs 'the dark side' ... Although my above subject is a more "general call", my big beef right now is with RAID controller vendors, but I don't believe that the problem is specific to them, so hopefully others will ring in ... I've used several different controllers over the years ... Adaptec was my first love, but I've used Intel, 3Ware, and, more recently, HPs ... out of the lot, I'd have to say the least supported (HP) has turned out to be the more pleasurable one to use, since checking the status of the RAID array is the easiest: # camcontrol devlist at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0) but, as an example, Intel used to be really nice, in that I could run the storcon utility (under FreeBSD 4.x) that Intel provided on their web site to actually see the whole BIOS and view drives, etc ... it was a dream ... but it looks like they stop'd support for FreeBSD at 5.x :( I just read a recent thread about monitoring RAID controllers on one of hte lists (this one?) where someone mentioned that Adaptec's Official stand is that they don't support storage management under FreeBSD ... but, in ports, we have the older aaccli interface, which I understand doesn't work with newer controllers ... So, my question above, and a public call to -core, or anyone else: What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation? Its not enough anymore to know a piece of hardware *works* with FreeBSD, but more that the vendor is willing to acknowledge us as a market ... petitions don't do anything, IMHO ... it all falls to 'money talks' for most vendors (not all of them, but alot of them) ...

Oh and SAS controllers can support SATA drives, from Adaptec's website: "The SAS connector is a universal interconnection that is form-factor compatible with SATA, allowing SAS or SATA drives to plug directly into a SAS environment whether for mission critical applications with high availability and high performance requirements or lower cost-per-gigabyte applications such as near-box storage. SATA connector signals are a subset of SAS signals, enabling the compatibility of SATA devices and SAS controllers. SAS drives will not operate on a SATA controller and are keyed to prevent any chance of plugging them in incorrectly. In addition, the similar SAS and SATA physical interfaces enable a new universal SAS backplane that provides connectivity to both SAS drives and SATA drives, eliminating the need for separate SCSI and ATA drive backplanes. This consolidation of designs greatly benefits both backplane manufacturers and end-users by reducing inventory and design costs." -- http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/sata/_education/SAS_SATA_unprlcompat.htm a. HPs SAS drives don't have the same form-factor as the SATA drives, or, at least, not the SATA drives I've had experience with, so although the interface may work with either, the rack mount servers don't have that option ... my love of the SAS drives is 4 drives per 1U rack, which means I can do RAID1+0 instead of RAID5 on SCSI/SATA racks ... b. are ppl actually using/promoting SATA drives in a server environment? Or are we just talking about situations where you have a large number of spindles to work with? My one experience with an SATA configuration is that the server doesn't *feel* like its performing as well as my SCSI servers do ... under load ... Marc G.

SSH tunneling to FreeBSD 6.x using entunnel ...

Apparenty, bitvise.com's tunnelier has the same problem ... The way the client describes how entunnel used to work for them: "entunnel was great - i never had to think about it. it just worked, all the time, automatically - came up at startup as a service and just sat in the system tray." Without having to downgrade their OpenSSH to the same version as was on FreeBSD 4.x (bad option!), is there something that I can look at on the FreeBSD 6.x OpenSSH to fix the problem?

Great project idea, and glad to see it's growing :). Every time I refresh the page to check a host I add, I see several more since the last refresh just a few minutes before. The new percentage display added in the last few minutes is nice too. I haven't followed the whole thread so I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet or not, but my idea would be to make another table of just the major releases. Like an easy view on who's running 6.1-RELEASE regardless of patch numbers, or 5.5-RELEASE, or 4.11-RELEASE, just so people can get a quick idea on who's running which releases without having to look through every one including patch levels (kind of a quick summary). Or maybe even numbers and percentages for "4.x", vs "5.x", vs "6.x", etc, and another table for "i386", "amd64", "sparc64", etc, so companies providing drivers or closed source binaries can quickly see the numbers for those.

BSDstats Project: Our ultimate goal ...
First off, thanks to *everyone* on this list ... those that have provided suggestions on both what should be included, as well as some of the coding that has been used (my shell scripting isn't as strong as my perl / php *sigh*) ... but, without people actually willing to *run* the script and report the information in, there would be no project ... Although the site itself is *very* rough looking (my 4 year old daughter is more creative then I), I *just* put in place my personal goal for all of this ... what drivers are in use, and what vendors/chipsets ... Check out: http://bsdstats.hub.org/drivers.php The header line is a bit mis-leading, as it says 'Systems' ... its not Systems, but # of times that driver has been used across all the systems ... for instance, from one of my systems: # select * from devices where id = 1; id | driver | vendor | device |report_month +-+++ 1 | agp0| 8086 | 2570 | 2006-08-07 03:28:22.607144 1 | pcib1 | 8086 | 2571 | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.128248 1 | pcib2 | 8086 | 244e | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.554153 1 | isab0 | 8086 | 24d0 | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.966463 1 | atapci0 | 8086 | 24db | 2006-08-07 03:28:24.687109 1 | atapci1 | 8086 | 24d1 | 2006-08-07 03:28:25.096418 1 | pcm0| 8086 | 24d5 | 2006-08-07 03:28:25.563785 1 | nvidia0 | 10de | 0322 | 2006-08-07 03:28:26.21311 1 | fxp0| 8086 | 1229 | 2006-08-07 03:28:26.722562 (9 rows) the pcib driver is used twice, as is the atapci driver ... again, wording could be improved ... so the count is # of devices using that driver ... The information used to generate drivers.php is the same as used by pciconf -v, namely from: http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads/pcidevs.txt Does anyone know how often that list get updated, by chance?

Yeah. You've leapt on the word 'register' there, and not addressed the salient point. 'Register' as in 'become cognisant of', and distinguished from 'signed up to.' Even though the process is simplified and automatic, you're still registering systems. Having some sort of return from the central stats machine when the periodic script runs, (rather than nothing at all, as at the moment) would be a good idea. Giving each system an index number shouldn't cost too much. But, there is no such ting as an 'index number' ... when everyone reports in next month, for instance, there is no 'number' that will be re-used for them that matches something used this month ...

The systems I'm concerned about are on private IP space, to not send email
and don't have X installed, much less a web browser and can only access
certain FreeBSD sites to update ports. In fact, they're not even accessible
from *inside* our network except from certain hosts. In order to
successfully run the stats script on these hosts, I would have to open a hole
in the firewall to bsdstats.hub.org on the correct port.
And yes, I *am* paranoid. But if you really want *all* statistics you can
get, then you'll have to deal with us paranoid types. My workstation, which
is on a public IP, is already registered.
Done ... now I really hope that the US stats rise, maybe? I have a hard
time believing that Russia and the Ukraine have more deployments then the
'good ol'US of A' ... or do they? *raised eyebrow*
Here is what is now stored in the database (using my IP as a basis)

CPU usage goes way up on 5.1 when memory is added
Hi, I've been running 5.1-RELEASE for quite some time on my dual PIII 333Mhz Micron PC with 384MB of RAM and 670MB of swap. Its a little low on memory for what I'm now doing with it though, so I added 256MB of RAM. The new RAM gets recognized, and there are no obvious errors on the console or in the logs, but every little thing drives the CPU utilization through the roof and the system is unusable. Even just typing "man ls" triggers it, never mind trying to run ssh. I remove the RAM, and it goes back to normal. I'm using a kernel with these relevent settings: cpu I686_CPU options SCHED_ULE options COMPAT_43 options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options SMP options APIC_IO options LAZY_SWITCH There are other settings, but these are the only ones that might be related, I'm guessing. Has anyone seen anything similar to this? I've searched google as well as the mailing list archives and can't really find anything similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have taken some vmstat and iostat data over time that can be used for comparison, but it really isn't necessary in this case. The CPU usage isn't even close to normal with the additional memory. Since this system is in heavy use, I haven't had the time to do a lot of trial and error with different kernel options yet. I will certainly try to schedule that soon. I was hoping that somebody on the list would have an idea as to why this happens. I really can't form a relationship in my head between the additional RAM and the strange CPU behavior. So I was hoping someone more familiar with freebsd 5.1 could help me out. I know that the ULE scheduler is still experimental, so that was going to be my first choice for rolling back, but I'm still interested in hearing from anyone else who may have seen similar behavior.

First I tried just switching the scheduler to the 4BSD version and got this: cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 instruction pointer = 0x0:0xa00 stack pointer = 0x0:0xffe frame pointer = 0x0:0x0 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0x0, type 0x0 = DPL 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, vm86, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 () trap number = 30 panic: unknown/reserved trap cpuid = 0; Uptime: 1s So, I tried booting the GENERIC kernel that came with the system (even though its not SMP). This booted OK, but hung trying to start up squid and I suspect various other utilities. I'm guessing this was due to memory shortage (which was why I added the memory). There were no errors at all, so I really don't know why it got scrogged. So, then I tried taking the generic kernel conf file and adding just SMP, IPSEC & IPFIREWALL support. Again, this is using the 4BSD scheduler. I got the same panic. This is all with the same 384MB of RAM that works just fine with the SMP kernel I compiled with the ULE scheduler. This system has never been so fragile, so I'm wondering if a strange hardware problem is creeping in. I just don't know why its so selective about showing its teeth though. So, I'm back to happily running the ULE SMP kernel with 384MB of memory, wishing I could just add some more memory. If anyone can offer any more insight as to why the additional RAM causes the CPU usage to flake out, I'd be most grateful. Cheers, rgr -- Richard G.

Re: SpamAssassin quits after upgrade
Yes, it required an upgrade to Perl5.6 to fix it in my case ... in my case, it was with amavisd ... it has something to do with Sys::Hostname::hostname() in Perl5.005 :( On Fri, 30 Jan 2004, Mike Oliveri wrote: > Hi all, > > I've recently upgraded both Exim (to 4.30) and SpamAssassin (to 2.63) on my > FreeBSD 5.1 box via their Ports, and suddenly I can no longer get > SpamAssassin to work.
