RE: Boot and MBR.
Hey all, I've tried setting the MBR within fdisk from the FBSD side of the house, however, it won't set. I go through all the motions, yet when it goes to write it says that it can't write to drsk ad0. I then went into a dos boot using a Windows98 boot disk and made the partition active, it still will not boot into the Windows partition. For the life of me, I cannot think of how to fix this.

olympus D-400 camera on FreeBSD
Hi, Sorry for the cross post, but I'm not sure whether my problem is with gphoto2 or FreeBSD. Please cc: me in reply. I was just given an old Olympus D-400 Zoom camera (which gphoto2 claims to support), and I'm trying to download pictures onto a computer running FreeBSD -CURRENT (from Feb. 26). The nifty usb SmartMedia reader I have isn't supported by umass (I just get 'ugen0: SCM Microsystems Inc. eUSB SmartMedia Adapter, rev 1.10/2.08, addr 2' when I plug it in). So I'm trying to use the serial connection directly with the camera. I have the serial ports set up (though I've never used them before): I've got sio in my kernel, and both serial ports are found on boot: yggdrasil> dmesg | grep sio sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A sio1 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0 sio1: type 16550A I've got cuaa0 and cuaa1 permission 666 as well (though I was originally doing this as root, so it didn't matter). However, gphoto2 isn't finding any camera. I've tried various orders of plugging things in, turning on the camera, and booting the computer, to no avail. I've searched gphoto and FreeBSD archives, and come up with no ideas. Any thoughts on whether this is a FreeBSD problem, a gphoto problem, or something else?

MySQL Port... [not]missing functions?
Hey, all. I have written an apache module, and it worked fine with MySQL 3.23 compiled from source but not in the 4.x ports (tried 4.1 and 4.0). I have found the problem when I shifted it to a new box. The old one ran 5.1, and this new one runs 5.2. I doubt the OS is the concern, but one can't be too careful. The installed packages are : mysql-client-4.0.16 Multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-4.0.16 Multithreaded SQL database (server) apache-2.0.48_1 Version 2 of the extremely popular Apache http server mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1 PHP Apache Module Now, since I've used the port, all I get when trying to start apache with the recompiled module is : Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_vmysql.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_vmysql.so: Undefined symbol "mysql_real_escape_string" Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I KNOW that function is supposed to be in the MySQL library, but it just isn't being found. Is there some trick that was used in the port that is not part of the standard install for MySQL?

Customizing a 'make release'...
(If this question is better served on another list, let me know) I am trying to come up with a custom FreeBSD ISO w/ my personal preferences (no integrated OpenSSH, Heimdal, or Sendmail) I have been working off of http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/FreeBSD-release-2.html, and /usr/bin/time sh -c 'make release CHROOTDIR=/hog0/release NODOC=YES NOPORTS=YES BUILDNAME=5.2-REL-FOO CVSROOT=/hog1/FreeBSD-CVS RELEASETAG=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE' | & tee /tmp/release.log Now my understanding is that 'make release' honors the variables set in /etc/make.conf, where I have: -=- NO_OPENSSH=true NO_KERBEROS=true NO_SENDMAIL=true -=- After creating the binaries and the ISO image, installing the OS on a new box results in a sendmail-less install, but it still has all the OpenSSH and Heimdal bits included. Do I needed to declare NO_OPENSSH and NO_KERBEROS on the 'make release' command line? Also, is there any way to change the default bits the install process - like the default auto-partition (I prefer to leave the /var partition with the remaining space instead of /usr as it is now), and have it automatically install certain packages instead of asking.

Re: directories to exclude for backups
Hello, Im not a sysadmin but I wanted to share the configuration I use at home for my file server running on a small Epia mini-ITX fanless motherboard. Basically the box only has 2x 120GB hard drives. Then its combination of dump/rsync/rdiff-backup. I wanted to be able to swap drives if something goes wrong with one drive or if do something wrong with a system update. I didnt want to go the RAID/vinium way as I also wanted incremental snapshots. Beside those three tools I also use Unison to synchronize important files between laptop-dekstop-fileserver (windows/linux client). The three tools mentioned above help me to solve the following problems : - dump : to make a hardcopy of the / directory and all those hardlinks (also used for /var and /tmp even if they may not need to be backed up) - rsync : to mirror /usr directory (damn fast) - rdiff-backup : I use that for my personal data because as a stupid user I do make mistakes so rdiff-backup keeps track of file histories for me. Its a kind of incremental rsync where you can recover any file from any date. Basically the two drives share the same organization (ad0 for the first one, ad2 for the second one) ad0s1a / 128M ad0s1bswap 512M ad0s1d/var 128M ad0s1e/tmp 200M ad0s1f /usr 3200MB ad0s2d/data 110GB ad2s1a /backup/os/root ad2s1e /backup/os/tmp ad2s1f /backup/os/usr ad2s2d /backup/data Then I use the following commands from a script started by a daily cronjob (its not a real script yet as it doesnt verify/confirm anything, just a bunch of commands) # root backup umount /backup/os/root newfs /dev/ad2s1a I had trouble overwriting the same slice with dump so I erase it before might not be the best choice dump -0 -f -L - /dev/ad0s1a | (cd /backup/os/root ; restore -r -v -f -) # /tmp backup umount /backup/os/tmp newfs /dev/ad2s1e dump -0 -f -L - /dev/ad0s1e | (cd /backup/os/tmp ; restore -r -v -f -) # /var backup umount /backup/os/var newfs /dev/ad2s1d dump -0 -f -L - /dev/ad0s1d | (cd /backup/os/var ; restore -r -v -f -) # /usr backup rsync -a --delete /usr/ /backup/os/usr # Typical incremental backup from drive 1 to drive 2 rdiff-backup /data/current/mp3 /backup/data/backup/mp3 # for this one I first do the incremental backup on the same drive and then rsync over the second drive (so I can have the incremental backup on both drives) rdiff-backup /data/current/alpha_current /data/current/alpha_backup rsync -a delete /data/current/alpha_backup/ /backup/data/backup/alpha_backup I understand that it's probably not the best and most official way to do work with backups but as a newbie to FreeBSD Im quite happy with this configuration.

RE: Boot and MBR.
Just out of curiosity what is the order in creating a dual boot system? Which operating system do you put on first? I see that having WinXP setup in partitions is not a good idea, yet I'm not aware of how to load the system in just a slice? I would appreciate any and all help in trying to get this thing online. I need my workstation back as soon as possible. Thanks.

You are right, I have them setup originally under WinXP as partitions, then added FreeBSD to the second partition where it calls it a slice. Divided up the slice into the required folders. I have tested, and it is not cosmetic, in that when I select that menu item, the computer goes to the next row and stays indefinitely. I can put WinXP back on the computer if I have to, however, wouldn't that put the WinXP MBR on the box? I've gone in under fdisk and set the slice bootable, however nothing. I'm not sure how to install it now to just that slice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, a side issue, in FreeBSD land, what you have is a disk with tw0 'slices' as apposed to partitions. Probably you have your FreeBSD slice divided up in to several 'partitions'.

Any help on > these two would be awesome. Thanks. I have not been successfule with that sort of thing. Anyway, I don't think just putting it in rc.conf would do the trick because that just sets a bunch of variables in there. Then the stuff is actually run from rc (and some other places I think) using those variable values set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.. I think you might not want your startx to fire off until after you log in anyway.That would mean putting it in .login (if you have a csh or tcsh shell) and that is what didn't work for me, though I didn't try many variations.

ssh/DNS timeout issue
I've installed FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE on two different boxes, and they're both exhibiting the same odd problem with DNS timeouts on ssh logins. Before you say, "Fix your reverse DNS!," please hear me out. When I make an ssh connection to one of these boxes, I get a password prompt instantly--there's no delay at all. I watch the DNS server's log and I see the reverse DNS request being asked and answered. After I enter the correct password, however, I get the long delay, and as I watch the DNS server's log I see the reverse DNS request being asked and answered repeatedly, but the answer apparently isn't being received. If I copy ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub on the client to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the box to which I'm trying to connect and then log in using public key authentication, then I can log in without any DNS delays. If I use opie passwords to log in, I get the same DNS delay. If, however, I just hit Enter instead of entering my opie password until I'm presented with a regular password prompt and then enter my password, then I can log in with no DNS delay. It occurs to me that the common denominator is PAM. When PAM becomes involved with my logging in, I get the long delays. I changed ChallengeResponseAuthentication to "no" in sshd_config, restarted sshd, and sure enough the delays vanished. I need opie passwords, however, so this isn't an option for me. Everything in sshd_config is set to the default, except that I allow only protocol 2. Does anyone know what the deal is?

If you have single-threaded sequential I/O patterns (like running dd, or maybe a database), you'll bottleneck on the interface or maximum disk throughput, otherwise even with ~3.5 ms seek times, multi-threaded I/O from a buncha clients will require the disk heads to move around so much that you bottleneck at a certain number of I/O operations per second per disk, rather than a given bandwidth per disk. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Promise PDC20319 RAID issues
I've got 5.2.1-RELEASE installed on an AccelerTech AT02161-A board running a single 1.4Ghz Opteron. The board has the PDC20319 onboard. I've got a Seagate 120GB drive attached to both SATA channels 2 and 3. The raid 1 array was created in the Promise bios and the OS was installed on the array ar0. The machine boots up, sees the disks, sees the controller and sees the array no problem. Everything looks good until I try to test the array. I yank out any of the two drives and the machine freezes after a few seconds. No error messages, no nothing.

dumps freeze when invoked by amanda's 'sendbackup'
Hello, I've found some strange behavior on one of our FreeBSD 2.2.2 machines, and am hoping that someone here may be able to shed some light on it for us. As mentioned, the machine is running FreeBSD 2.2.2 and AMANDA 2.4.0. A while back, we noticed that dumps of the machines '/usr' partition seemed to freeze as soon as they were started; the 'dump' processes appeared in 'ps' output, but they stayed there all day long (our backups typically finish by around 10:00 AM at the latest). At the same time, dmesg showed us "hard errors" reading from /dev/sd0s1g (the partion holding "/usr"). We eventually killed the dumps. As a test, we then tried a manual dump. I was able to successfully dump that same file system over the network to a drive on another machine. It seemed wierd that a manual dump went fine, but that the dumps spawned by 'sendbackup' did not go at all. However, as I mentioned, we'd seen that drive error, so we removed all of that machine's sd0 partitions from amanda's disklist (system has two other drives, and backups went fine for them) until we could get the drive replaced, which we did last night. Replacement of drive went just fine, and once we'd verified everything was up and running properly, I edited the disklist file and re-enabled backups of the machine's '/usr'. I got in this morning and found that again, the dumps are frozen. 'dmesg' shows nothing except the boot-up messages. I'm rather frustrated at this point, trying to understand how this could be happening. I have checked permissions on the device files, and 'bin', the user amanda runs as on that machine, is a member of the operator group, which has read access to the device files, so it doesn't seem a permissions problem. I doubt it's a drive problem, because the same behavior on two different drives by two different manufacturers? I suppose it's possible, but it seems unlikely. I should mention as well that all drives on system are SCSI 2 50 pin format, under the control of an Adaptec 2940 controller card. So if it's not permissions, and not the drive (although I realize that I haven't really ruled either of these entirely out) then might it be the controller? But if it's the controller, why no problems with other drives in system? Any thoughts would be most welcome. -John -- +---+ | John Fox|System Administrator | InfoStructure | +---+ | I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth | | But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look | | Who can you trust when everyone's a crook?| | -- Queensryche, "Revolution Calling" | +---+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Looking for ipfw info.
Thanks for the resources. A couple of questions (because I'm new to FreeBSD): The ipfw man page in 5.2.1-RELEASE says that ipfw in CURRENT is ipfw2 and that ipfw in STABLE is ipfw1. I still don't understand the releationship between RELEASE and the other two, so I am not sure which ipfw I have in 5.2.1-RELEASE. I have read the following 5 excellent articles on ipfw, by Dru Lavigne. Even though they were written in 2001, and thus pre-date ipfw2, I found them to be a great crash course in ipfw, and the ipfw manpage in 5.2.1-RELEASE just adds to it. In Dru's first article, she(?) discusses how the kernel must be modified to support a firewall. She looks into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT to find the relevant information that needs to be added to my kernel conf file. I cannot find a LINT file on my 5.2.1-RELEASE system. Where can I find complete information on what I need to do to my kernel? TIA -ste P.S.: I find that ipfw rules are far more human-readable than I thought, and when comparing my linux server's ipchains rules to /etc/rc.firewall's "simple" firewall rules, I found them to be very similar. :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
hangs up on login prompt (very strange)
Tonight I was reading a webpage, I found the whole X window suddenly doesn't acceput keyboard input any more (mouse works). So I use mouse rebooted the computer. That is a Thinkpad T40 running FreeBSD 5.2 After reboot the whole system hangs up at "Login name" prompt (even in "verbose mode"). Ping this box from other computer gets timeouts. I boot into single user mode, disabled gdm in single user mode but next boot I still hang at "Login name" I also tried to disable all getty but the box hangs right before "Login name" prompt. I (in single user mode) turned off every service in rc.conf, renamed /usr/local/rc.d but nothing changed. Now I'm backing up all my 40GB data in single user mode through 10MB LAN, it is midnight I hope next morning everything are backed up and I can reinstall FreeBSD and get a working system. But what part do you think in my box made it hangs? _ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统― MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If the BIOSes are crappy, try a bootloader. I can recommend GAG since you can boot it from floppy without the need to touch any hard drive.

Nice Renice Verynice
Greetings all, I'm on 4.7 release (patched) I saw a program Verynice (http://tam.cornell.edu/~sdh4/verynice/) which is is a tool for dynamically adjusting the nice-level of processes under UNIX-like operating systems. I was wondering if there was a better way to go about making all processes that a partuclar user runs altered to say -15 value. (Greater Priority) I can do a "renice -15 -u username" which works fine for current running processes, but when one process ends and another process is started under that same username the nice level reverts to back to default (0). My Question: How do I permanemtly alter the priority for everything a particular user runs? Should I just schedule a cron job for every 60 seconds that renices the user that I want?

I've had problems like that when the drive hardware itself is hanging up and stops responding to commands. Most often, it's triggered by bad media. I took enough of a look at it to see that there isn't much the OS can do about it (however, -STABLE has had some recent improvements -- within the last few months, anyway -- that reduce the impact on other system functionality). So for me, anyway, I've written it off as a price of cheap hardware. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: stateful firewall
You have run into the IPFW legacy divert/nated subroutine bug. IPFW stateful rules and divert/nate do not work together. IPFW stateful rules only work in non-NATed environment. You need to use IPFILTER/IPNAT the other firewall software application which is built into FBSD. The FBSD handbook does not even tell you that FBSD has more than one firewall. Smart move to want an stateful firewall they provide the max in protection. see, http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.html#TOC_1 http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html To see the FAQ http://www.phildev.net/ipf/index.html I use ipfilter and do exactly what you want. IF you want copy of my rules let me know. As of July 2003 the OpenBSD firewall software application named PF was ported to FBSD. It's scheduled to become the third firewall software application delivered with the FBSD install with the next stable production release.

install/update ports
Hi, I use FreeBSD-4.9 and have some troubles with portupdate. Today I updated the ports with cvsup /etc/cvs-ports ( see Files and Directory Listings below ). I wanted to install nagios and got problems. Portupgrade tried to install from net/nagios and net/net-snmp and there are errors because only the Makefile are there. These ports have beend moved to net-mgmt as I can see in MOVED. So I have some questions : 1. Which of the INDEX*-Files from /usr/ports is used by portupgrade/ portinstall and "make search" ? 2. These Files seems not be updated , why ? 3. Is it right that directories of old net-ports exist and contain Makefile ? If it isnt, how can I update the ports-tree to the right structure ?

See "man ng_one2many" I actually had the NMBCLUSTERS set that way even with 128MB boxes without issues but the box in question has 2GB of ram so it's not much of a big deal. I tried the ng_one2many and it did help bring things closer to 80Mbps from 60Mbps. I guess the HD is the bottleneck as it's only a notebook and even with the 7200rpm 60GB 2.5" drive, the sustained transfer rate is limited. Tried the HZ 1000 setting and recompiled a new kernel but it didn't really seem to do anything at all. I'm wondering what's the highest setting it will work with.Thanks,John - Do you Yahoo!?

What do you have HZ set to (see sysctl kern.clockrate)? I think I
remember your original message showing you using pipes and queues and
the HZ setting can affect those. Also see if your latency improves if
you remove all pipe and queue rules (other ipfw rules are OK).
Here is the HZ setting:
kern.clockrate: { hz = 100, tick = 1, profhz = 1024, stathz = 128 }
I'm not sure how to remove the pipe since I don't think the pipe works until the queue
is defined. When I removed the queues that are configured for the pipe, the latency
is back to normal though.
Thanks,
John

Like I said, remove both pipes and queues to test. However, pipes
_can_ be used without queues, but that is irrelevant here. Try
setting HZ to 1000 in your kernel config, recompile, reboot, and test
again. You should see something between a slight improvement to a
ten-fold improvement.

Already tried that and it did improve things a little. I tried setting the HZ to 1000
and it didn't make much of a difference. Is there a larger number that actually works
well?
