2008-11-06 Thread SAM HAYNES 

Greetings, O Learned Ones
from:  Sam Haynes, Pathfinders 2008

I haven't the foggiest as to how you came to be in my favorites list, 
other than that I probably tagged you in an ongoing search for both or 
either something to replace Win XP  and or build my own personal server.


I have been usining XP for several years now.  Recently, I tried to 
install XP from my OEM cd and was notified by Gates and Company that XP 
would no longer be supported. Bummer! So what else is new?  Time to part 
company with Bill? Vista was tha final straw.


I need something that will replace XP in all the essentials but without 
a useless bag full of coverups for poor performance..


Debian was the first encouraging encounter. It was recommended as a 
cheap entry into the personal server concept, using a two to three year 
old PC chassis. Sounded good but I could never figure out just how to 
download it.


So, FreeBSD appears in my fave list and server appears in the same 
paragraph as operating system.  Here is my plan.


I am 76, a retired Master Electrician, PC builder since '87, have a wife 
of 40 plus years, debilitating medical problems and a strong belief that 
I can milk a living out of internet affiliate marketing despite the 
current economic crisis.


My current model is to generate a basic website, use my existing isp to 
promote two consistent converting products, bootstrap the proceeds from 
that into building my own dedicated server to market 'how-to' products 
over a hundred or more websites.


All using ready to serve apps and a WYSIWYG HTML  generator.

I appreciate your time reading this over long monologue... I'd 
appreciate it even more if you could take some time to throw some 
suggestions back at me..


Thanks,

Sam I Am, PATHFINDERS 2008

2009-06-11 Thread David Collins 
I nfs mount my freeBSD server on my mac, 10.4. For some reason the
mount command doesn't seem to figure out to use mount_nfs, at least
not for me so I run it directly.

mount_nfs -Ps nfs.server.ip:/path/to/share mnt

The -P has to be used with linux nfs servers to use privileged ports,
but not sure if it does with FreeBSD, I also us -s so that if the
server goes down I can kill the connection

2009-08-09 Thread Michael Christie 
Hi there all,

I need your help. I have a supermicro server which was running Freebsd 7.1
with 2 SATA drives. I have had G mirror running on the server. I needed to
do a full reinstall of freebsd but was unable to disengage the mirror at the
time. When installing Freebsd, on to the drives i see i have AD4 AD6 and AR0
on the disk label, i have installed the new free bsd in AD4, and the system
would not boot.



I have come across this before where i have to remove AR0 to default the
drive, i can remember reading a thread on how to use “fix it” and using the
live cd. I have google but cannot find it

Please is there any one here that can refresh my memory and tell me how to
remove gmirror from my drives so i can do a fresh install,.



Thanmks

Mick

2009-08-10 Thread Derrick MacPherson 

I had a ssd drive in a system to use as temp backup server, it has 6 1tb
drives in it that i created a raid0 (i'm pretty sure that's what I
created) and used as a backup, to rebuild our file server. the ssd drive
was taken back after a couple weeks as the box was no longer being used.
At this point I need to check whats on that array due to some data
corruption. The drives in the array are probably not plugged in as they
were when used before. Is it possible, and if so how, to recover that
array? I've popped in a different system drive and have got the box back
up, I thought there'd be a way to read the labels on the drives and
recreate the raid set.. am i wrong?

2008-02-12 Thread Nathan Alan Souer 
In advance, I appreciate any help that anyone has to offer. When my laptop
is running on battery and there is heavy i/o on the disk The machine
kernel panics and reboots. I have updated my base system to current
(7_releng) just a couple days ago(2/9/08) in an effort to resolve this
issue, to
no change. I've actually tried a second hard drive to no effect either.


Here are the last few lines of the kernel panic (as read through strings):

panic: initiate_write_filepage: dir inum 1576702754 != new 0
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 1h42m24s
Physical memory: 1003 MB
Dumping 147 MB: 132 116 100 84 68 52 36 20 4

Should I just look into disabling acpi? Please let me know what other
information you might need to help. My dmesg is included below.

Thanks very much.

2008-12-02 Thread Pieter Donche 

If one has a system with 7 500Gb SATA disks in a hardware RAID6
(Areca Raid Controller), then (according to mail J.Chadwick 7
Nov 2008) they will show up as da (following naming convention
for scsi disks although they are not).
RAID6 will allow about 2,5 Tb for the 'user' (roughly 1 Tb will
be consumed by the parity information of RAID6).

How will this 2,5 Tb space present itself at the time of initial
install of FreeBSD?
Will this be a single 'disk'  ad0 ? .. correct or not (then what)?

If FreeBSD is to put on the system as only operating system (Fdisk:
"A = Use Entire disk"), then will the BSD-partitions will show up as
ad0a (/), ad0b (swap), ad0d (/var) etc... correct or not (then what)?

Page 427 of the FreeBSD handbook states that due to the use of 32-bit
integers to store the number of sectors is limited to 2^32 -1 
sectors/disk = 2 TB. A layout could be 
a / 1Gb, 
b swap, 
d /root 20 Gb, (a /root partition is from an example of someone who

claims that at boot FreeBSD checks the partions in background except
for the / partition, by keeping / as small as possible, the time to
boot can be mimimized .. correct? but will /root ever be something
big ??)
e /tmp 20 Gb, 
f /var 20 Gb, 
g /usr 20 Gb
this leaves 2420 Gb which is more than 2 Tb, so you can't put all 
that in 1 filesystem h /home, you will need to split that in 2

BSD-paritions, but since you can't have more that 8 BSD-partitions
(highest BSD-partition letter is h), you need to give up at least
one of d, e, f, g. ... correct or not (then what)?

What is the best scheme of BSD-partitioning in this case?

2008-12-11 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin 

Okay, new problem with regard to netgroups, NIS, and Pam:

Given the following situation:

* I want to be able to have su work normally in the event of an NIS 
disconnect, since I will likely need to su to fix said disconnect.


* The wheel group needs to stay local

* I want su to still use group ownership as a check

I recently could not get an admin account (defined in NIS) to su to root. 
Even though "groups username" showed he was in wheel (and the wheel group 
has been propagated into NIS), pam_group and pw groupshow show him as 
not.)  This is probably because the local wheel group overrode the NIS 
wheel group.  (I'm not that thrilled by having the wheel group in NIS 
anyway).


Since pam_group is "requisite", there's no easy way to call it multiple 
times, and no easy pam syntax to say "one of these two must pass". 
Required won't help, Otherwise I'd simply define an extra group, call it 
NISwheel or something, and configure access accordingly.


What I instead would propose is for pam_group to take an optional argument 
list instead of a single group (or possibly, multiple group= 
requirements).


Doing something with pam_exec is an option here as well, but I feel this 
functionality should be fairly elementary to add, moving forward.

You don't give much information ( which FreeBSD, are you using X 
and a window manager ?), so I have to guess. 
If you are using X and the problem is that you only see part of your
desk top on the screen, but you can scroll with mouse to other parts
of the desk top, then your 'virtual screen' is bigger than your
actual screen. You can fix this by modifying your xfree86.conf or 
xorg.conf, depending on which FreeBSD you use.

HTH,

Christopher

Generally, no. But, if you are upgrading from 4.x to 5.x or from 5.x
(for x=0; x<3) to 5.3 then you will need to I believe.

The best thing to do is read /usr/src/UPDATING before every
buildworld. If you do need to rebuild any ports, then it will tell you
in there.

Good. Theres quite a learning curve, but I assure you that diligence and
the willingness to learn are worth the effort as the result is a whole new
computing experience unlike anything the other OS's can provide (perhaps
only IMHO).

> I just got into DOS,
> figuring out basic commands.

FreeBSD, and most *NIX's share many of the same commands. Here are some
equivilants to DOS commands:

# cp (copy)
# ls (dir)
# cd
# mv (move)
# rm (del)
# ifconfig (ipconfig)
# netstat (route)
# traceroute (tracert)
# ping

etc ad infinitum. However, most *NIX commands have several parameters you
can feed into them, making them much more useful than you would be used
to. Remember the man command.

I suggest you search google for "unix basic tutorial" or similar to give
you a head start.

...and in my last email, I mentioned the FreeBSD handbook, which will
guide you on your way to getting a nice Windows-like GUI up and running.
You have several options and can even switch between several graphical
interfaces until you like one you find you like best.

> So is FreeBSD like a Unix/Linux version of
> DOS with different commands?

Well...Unix was around lng before DOS was conceived. Looking at it,
they do appear to be similar, but the depth and scope of DOS pales in
comparison and is laughable against the limitless possibilities that the
UNIX command line has to offer. There are different commands, but hundreds
of thousands more as well. (Depending on installed software of course). In
DOS, theres generally only one way to do something, where on UNIX, there
are usually numerous approaches to performing a task. None of which are
wrong, just different.

> Or does it have a graphical interface too?

A GUI as I said can be installed. Consult the handbook and use google as
per my last mail.

I solved a similar problem by following the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

to load all sound drivers. You will see a long list of messages scroll

I wonder if there is a way to deduce from this which driver hit?

Because so many of the European languages are based on it. It's a good
foundation for learning portuguese, french or german. I believe
chinese fills that role for asian languages.

In Linux there is a system group with GID=0, called "root". iptraf was
initially developed for Linux. Easiest way to build/install Linux root
group dependent software is adding
root:*:0:
to your /etc/groups file, so there will be 2 names for group with GID=0.

No.  The best solution is to "port" iptraf, by making the necessary
changes, and then save the differences in proper patch files.  The
existing ports can provide thousands of examples of how this should be
done to be easy to add as a port to the collection :)

You are the only one that can do the chosing. You know whether you have a i386 
(Intel or AMD), alpha, or etc. See

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386 


Since you have problems at this point, it is probably safe to suggest that you 
deal with only the 4.x version.

For starters, you only need to download the first iso. When you burn it onto a 
CD-ROM, you have to use the burn as an image option. All CD burners will do 
this. It is just difficult on some of them to find out how. Most of the ones 
I am familiar with will put you into the right spot if you double click the 
iso from a file manger.

arch = i386 for PCs
Since it sounds like you're a newbie, you'll want version = 4.8-RELEASE.
There is also 5.1-RELEASE but it's highly discouraged for people who
are not willing to debug it. It *is* a "new technology" release, after
all.

There's support for the Hauppage WinTV 250/350 available in ports, but...

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-June/012235.html

Any recent version of FreeBSD should do -- unless you have a good reason
to do otherwise, I'd try FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE in the first instance.

As for how to get and install FreeBSD, the Handbook is your friend:

May be the difference is not big enough. Did you try with a

advskew is added to the advbase with a advskew/256 (see man carp(4)).

Hi Glen,

Assuming you have a 32-bit PC, here's the link to the disc image you need:
http://ftp.dk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.2/FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 
.
Burn it on a CD as image, not directly, then boot from CD and, with the 
help of the excellent
Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/)  
you will have
a shiny BSD system installed. Feel free to ask if you get stuck, but 
it's recommended you take

a look at the Handbook first.

Best,

Glen,

You have to download the ISO and either burn it to a CD or use a USB
key. Google "how to burn ISO"

The handbook can walk you through the installation.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html

Good luck and welcome to FreeBSD.

2011-06-20 Thread Traiano Welcome 
Hi Damien

(apologies for top-posting, handicapped mail client).

Actually, "/" (by /tmp) is filling up, and clearing very rapidly due to temp 
files being created and removed at high speed. We ca only see this
by doing:

---
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(1){
$timestamp = localtime();
system("echo $timestamp `df -h /tmp` >> /home/traianow/dfstats.txt");
system("echo $timestamp `du -sh /tmp` >> /home/traianow/dfstats.txt");
sleep 1;
}
---


We're seeing this fast-changing disk space usage patterns like this, repeating 
every few tens of seconds:

Your folder tmp is an own partition with just 1GB size.
This partition is running full.

When a partition is over 100% its use backup place for defect sektors. A 
partition is/ was created with 110% and 10% are for defect sectors.

A partition should not grow over 100%.

While hard drives do contain spare sectors used to replacing defective ones, 
that's not what the 110% or 108% filesystem space is for-- this spare capacity 
is used by FFS to reduce fragmentation, but can also be written to by root at 
the cost of considerable performance.

See "man tunefs".

FALSE TO FACT.

You can run df(1), giving it _any_ fileneme -- whether OR NOT it is
a directory -- and it will report the statistics for the underlying
filesystem.  Proof:

   %df -H /COPYRIGHT
   Filesystem   SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
   /dev/idad0s1a 65M 35M 24M59%/
   %ls -l /COPYRIGHT
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  6197 May  1  2009 COPYRIGHT


For this user, /tmp is part of the / filesystem, as is CLEARLY  shown
by the 'Mounted on' field in the df output, below.

The filesystem on 'ard0s1a', =mounted=as='/'=, _is_ roughly 1 gig in size.
The filesystem "overhead" -- primarily the space reserved for (assuming a
UFS filesystem) the FIXED SIZE (and pre-allocated) 'inode table', the 
'backup superblocks', and the cylinder-group metadata -- accounts for the
filesysem 'size' of 989M.  Of that 989M, 8% has been set 'reserved' for 
superuser-only use.

Programs running, with the EUID of 0 (the superuser), were creating the 
problematic /tmp files, thus the negative 'Avail' number, and the 'used'
space being shown as over 100% in the 'Capacity' column.

FALSE TO FACT.

  When 'spare' sectors are allocated for potential defective sector 
  substitution, they are _not_ included in the available space/capacity
  of a filesystem.  With most _modern_ disks, bad-sector substitution
  is handled by the _disk_hardware_itself_, *invisibly* to the host computer
  hardware, *or* operating system.  

  *IF* spare sectors are allocated the O/S for bad-sector management, this
  is done by the 'low level format' utiltity, before any sort of filesystem,
  _if_any_, is created. i.e. there =will= be spares, for bad-sector 
  substitution, even on the portion of a disk used as a 'swap' partition,
  despite there being no filesystem there.

  The 'reserved' space, "traditionally" the last 10% -- although in this case
  of the OP's drive it was _8%_ -- of the filesystem capacity, is set for the
  _exclusive use_ of the superuser, for regular filesystem activity (to wit,
  writing files to it).  The reasn for this 'reserved space' is so that a 
  'regular user' with runaway disk usage, will _not_ be able to cause _system_
  processes to fail for lack of disk space.

  In the OP's case, it _was_ a' superuser process' that was writeing to 
  /tmp, so that process failed _only_ when the space on the filesystem was 
  _TOTALLY_ exhausted, instead of when usage reached '100%' of the file
  system space available to 'regular users'.

I suppose if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I have FreeBSD 8.2_RELEASE i386 on an old computer, pinched for disk space and 
only 256 MB RAM, won't try upgrading in place.

On the new computer, after not being able to boot NetBSD most of the time and 
never getting to a graphical interface, FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 was released, and I 
downloaded and installed that: a dream compared to NetBSD which didn't really 
like the new hardware.

I never used the old computer as a server. 

For a server, you don't need a lot of fancy stuff such as Adobe Flash and other 
multimedia functionality, nor do you need a lot of RAM.

I used NetBSD after using linux and before FreeBSD.
Since v 1.6 and definitely since 2.0 NetBSD turned into bloatware, as well 
as crashware and slowware. Exactly as i predicted when new company were 
created and started "sponsoring" NetBSD too much. It is useless now.


FreeBSD fortunately doesn't go that route, every new release is actually 
better, and bloatware required to get enough sponsoring is clearly 
separated from the real part, having no effect on base system if you don't 
use it.

i do. Old computers for small scale server (small office, few users), New 
for larger.




For a server, you don't need a lot of fancy stuff such as Adobe Flash


and do you need this for a non-server? Adobe don't want us (FreeBSD users) 
to use their closed-source software. And i respect their will and don't 
use it. Which resulted in much easier browsing by the way :)



and other multimedia functionality, nor do you need a lot of RAM.


depends what you run. Add spamassassin, clamav, squid and 512MB is quite a 
minimum, 256MB bearable with max few users and quita a bit of paging.


Anything NEW, like cheapest dell poweredge server you can buy, is enough 
for even large office unless you do stupid things, or use virtualbox 
heavily.

Some, too many, web sites are difficult or impossible to access without Adobe 
Flash.

Adobe may discontinue Linux version of Flash plugin except when bundled with 
Chrome browser.

I personally would like to see HTML 5 wipe Adobe Flash off the face of the 
earth.

Some web sites use Flash just to be annoying, not to create a video.

Examples are:

freefilefillableforms.com : I was unable to proceed with income tax return for 
e-file.

shoplocal.com : When advertiser/vendor offers a choice between Flash 
(broadband) and HTML (dialup),
 HTML (non-Flash) works better even on broadband.

www.gagels.com (farm market), last time I looked was maybe a month ago, and I 
remember complaining.

laguanajuatoky.com : crashes (Mozilla) Seamonkey browser when running in 
FreeBSD.

Gnash is great on YouTube but seems to work nowhere else.

Ahem - no site _you_ have need of is Flash-only.
Do not presume to speak for other users.
(Though I agree - Flash-only is usually a bad sign,)

Those aren't web sites, those are "Flash" sites. :-)

With the upcoming decline and fall of "Flash" in mind, one
should not have to worry too much. When HTML 5 gets finally
adopted (including its audio, video and interactivity features),
which is essential to gain acccess to the growing mobile
markets, "Flash" will just be an unpleasant memory, just
like "Java on the web". :-)



> Adobe may discontinue Linux version of Flash plugin except

There are alternatives that seem to work well enough (e. g. gnash).



> Some web sites use Flash just to be annoying, not to create a video.

Yes, "Flash" has taken the place that formerly has been occupied
by animated GIFs, except now sound and forced interactivity, as
well as slowness and bloat, have been successfully added.

Additionally, it allows the user to use his favourite media

brightness/contrast adjust, keyboard support) except to have
dealing with it in a web browser window with its very limited

The only recommendation I have is not to get a Silicon Image (Sil)
based card - they're cheap but don't work well.

I don't know, I've just heard that the Sil adapters have a bad

I can chime in here -- I've gone through two SiI 3114s (Rosewill
RC-209s). Fortunately for me, the system wasn't critical and the cards
failed at reboots -- and I had spares :)

The upside is, if you're using ZFS, data corruption may not be an
issue. Also, did we mention that the cards are CHEAP? Like, bottled
water cheap.

On the other hand, I've read of "higher end" Rosewill (presumably also
SiI) cards performing admirably, and for extended periods. Luck of the
draw, I suppose...

2 cents,

Brandon

There are IDE to SATA converters. You plug it directly into the IDE connector 
and on the other end you have a SATA150 plug.

I've been using one here on my home server for about 1,5 years without any 
problem.

 of course there are many earlier version files that may not be

 is there a source that makes dvd images of the distfile directory

> I have FreeBSD 7.3. How recover was deleted files in FreeBSD? Help me

Due to the nature of the UFS file system, please note 
that recovering deleted files may be a VERY complicated
process, and there is no way to totally make sure it
will be successful.

Having such a problem myself (accidentally deleted a whole
subtree with video files), I would suggest you try the
famous "The Sleuth Kit" from ports (sysutils/sleuthkit).

After installing it, you'll find useful information in
/usr/local/share/doc/sleuthkit/ref_fs.txt which contains
a kind of recipe on how to recover files. It describes
in detail what you can try.

In any case, do NOT continue using the disk in question,
the risk that files to be recovered getting overwritten
is present. Make a copy of the partition in question
(using dd) and work with the copy only.

The recoverdisk program (/sbin/recoverdisk) comes with
the base system and should also be mentioned.

There are also commercial products (that often offer a
free trial version) that allow such kind of recovery.
Maybe you can try "File Restore Professional" and later
on purchase it (demo version at www.pcrecovery.com
available).

Good luck!

Sounds like a USB problem. (Sorry, master-of-the-obvious here.) Since 
this was working before and the problems are new, maybe there is a 
hardware failure beginning to happen.



 System is FreeBSD 5.2.1, USB modem ADSL Alcatel Speedtouch 330.


Then again a quick google to
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22error+reading+usb+urb%22&btnG=Google+Search 
shows lots of folks having issues with the Alcatel Speedtouch 330. Maybe 
read some of those articles. (My mailer may wrap the url, sorry.)


Also, you may want to consider upgrading to 6.0 (6.1 is due to be 
released very soon), or at least to the latest 5.x. 5.2.1 is kind of 
long in the tooth by now.



 What can it be?


Look in /var/log, and browse through the file called messages. There may 
be some clues there.


HTH.

Boot up from a live cd and do:

Substitute ad0 with what you want to wipe.
