Re: 5.3 - 5.4 breaks ATA (Intel ICH2)
I'm no expert on this, but I'd let that machine have it's own build environment instead of NFS importing it from a server. It _does_ require more disk space, but in the long run, it might be for the better. If you _must_ export from server, then export only /usr/src and not /usr/obj Owe Jørgensen On Fri, 23 Sep 2005 22:52:09 -0400, Tim Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got a machine here that I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 on.

geom_mirror and ggatec/d safe for filesystem replication?
Consider the following scenario: - Machine 1 has a UFS filesystem on a block device. - It is mirrored to a block device on machine 2, using geom_mirror and ggatec/ggated - Machine 2 mounts this filesystem read only. My question is: is this last step safe? When an update occurs on machine 1, certain disk blocks will change under the nose of machine 2's mounts. Will all necessary caches be invalidated? (e.g. block caches, inode caches) Or could this result in nasty behaviour, up to and including panics? If so, is there a safer or better way of performing real-time filesystem replication?

Encrypt some services with ipsec
H all,
I have two prodction servers with FreeBSD 5.4 (all security patches
are applied). They running some services like dns, ssh, http, ftp, etc.
But I woukd like to encrypt some services for some hosts with ipsec when
it is accessed. For example:
- DNS resolution: not encrypted.
- DNS replication master-slave: encrypted by ipsec.
- Telnet: encrypted by ipsec for some hosts. Deny for the rest.
- SSH: not encrypted for some hosts, encryted by ipsec for the rest.
- FTP: encrypted by ipsec.
- HTTP: encrypted by ipsec.
is it possible to encrypt only certains services under ipsec tunnel??
Thank you for your help.

The backup runs a script to sync a portion of it's filesyst= em with the master after checking to make sure it's still the backup. = The sync happens every 5 seconds over a Gbit private network between the t= wo.

Re: 5.3 - 5.4 breaks ATA (Intel ICH2)
Okay, Tim, I just reported the same bug in a previous post. So did Julian C. Dunn. I think this is an issue with some recent code changes in CVS... See these threads: critical BOOT failure updating to latest 5-Stable (5.4) 9/23/2005 12:07 AM ATA lockup with 5.4-STABLE 9/21/2005 10:19 PM I have privately emailed Mr. Dunn, and his problem seems a little different perhaps, but I see some similarities. His system is an IBM (so is mine) and his uses the Intel PIIX4 ata chipset. Mine uses the PIIX3. Mine is by far the oldest, and yours is the newest system. Of note maybe is that I was also using an older drive as you are, in my case an 8 or 9 GB Quantum Fireball. Anyway, I count three systems that are normally boting with 5.3 or 5.4, and then the upgrade to the latest 5-Stable breaks the boot. Perhaps you could test one of those identical machines with a simple hard disk swap? Just put the bad booting drive in a working system and see if the error is still there? Has anyone checked the CVS repository for a possible change to the ATA detection or boot code? Can you post your dmesg for 5.3 perhaps? BTW, you can boot that machine to the old kernel using the procedure unload load /boot/kernel.old/kernel boot (or boot -v) Do all of that with option 6 on the Boot Loader menu.
