Stop using libkse.  In 5.0 it's an experimental library.  If
you want libpthread, you need to upgrade to 5-stable.  Like
I've said before, you've either hosed your system or are using
an improper (for 5.0) /etc/libmap.conf.  There should be no
references to libpthread.so in 5.0.

Yep, something changed around 4.x in sysinstall where rc.conf is not 
created until near when it finishes.  If you write to rc.conf during an 
scripted sysinstall, then it will be over written.  You can write your 
stuff to /etc/rc.conf.local.  It gets sourced in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

$ grep rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf
rc_conf_files="/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local"

After boot time, we have a post boot script which merges our stuff from 
rc.conf.local into rc.conf, just to keep it clean.

Just to be safe, we quote everything in install.cfg.  As in

 echo 'sshd_enable=YES' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

yes, that sounds reasonable to me .. i'm one of those sightless ones
who caused the irritation for mr long. may i suggest that the default
situation be set to beep: ON and if teh enduser requires or need the
beep: OFF version then they are left to make the adjustments as thier
own exercise. i like the idea about setting a bit in the /dev/conf
file, ummm something like that my memory isnt that good this morning.

it is most difficult trying to work out how and where to make changes
when being able to see teh scree becomes a personal issue .. every bit
helps.

sorry for the intrusion . this be one of those items that needs some
vocalisation from those it genuinely affects and for whom it is not a
meer cosmetic annoyance.

regards and apologies

nve(4) patch - please test!

2005-12-09 Thread Bjoern A. Zeeb

Hi,

everyone out there who had only seen timeouts like
nve0: device timeout (4)
on nve and __never got it working at all__ please try this patch[1]
which made my nve working from 0 to 99.

I still can get timeouts by for example flood pinging another machine
on the local LAN but it all recovers on it's own and I can work on
that machine and do things like find / over ssh without losing
connectivity. Fixing the timeouts will be another problem that needs
to be addressed later.

Greetings

No  and I have nott attacked "the organization".  The c ritic of the way in
which documentation is  not integrated ionto the freebsd development cycle
was made long before there was any motherboard failure.  I do wish you would
stick to the facts.

My suggestions are very relevant to the documentary errors, omissions and
lack of documentary integration that waste much of the time of many end
users. 
 

My suggestions were, it is true, were off the original topic and came about
as a response to someone else who complained about freebsd documentation and
I responded to him. 

He was strongly critical because the  documentation stated that direct
upgrade from 5.3 to 6.00 was possible when, as you pointed out, it was not. 

I suggest you reread the whole thread with care and look at the sequence of
events instead of massaging a false interpretation events to satisfy a

No, he's hosed his system.  There is no libpthread in 5.0.
Somehow you've brought in binaries from somewhere else that
are linked to libpthread because they were linked on a more
recent version of FreeBSD.  Either that, or you have a
/etc/libmap.conf that is trying to use libpthread.

Yep, and because of failure to get proper vender support, software
raid is looking more attractive to the company I work at...

Delaying upgrades of the OS due to hardware raid issues, and then
finding out that the ICP aka Adaptec no longer supports iir beyond
5.2-R (no 5.4-R or any 6.x and beyond) makes it harder for us to
justify spending money on hardware raid.  (who knows that the next
brand of hardware raid isn't going to have the another issue, and
decide to not provide support)...

At least they finally released a new patch against 5.4-R, but we can
barely get them to support us on 4.7-R (which has the same driver as
4.11-R), let alone when we had issues on 5.4-R...

So, even though software raid may not be as reliable among other things,
at least you have the source and can fix it, and don't have to wait many
months just to wait longer for the vendor to fix the issue...

What you need to do is create a link between libpthread.so.* and libkse.so.*:

  cd /usr/lib
  ln libkse.so... libpthread.so

Also see this cvs entry about libkse on FreeBSD 5.0:

I'm getting missing libpthread.so.* error, so I copied it from another

So I went into /usr/src/lib/libpthread and did make/install.  I noticed

So, creating an option to disable it would help them.  And still allow the
others the benefit of the 'beep'.  There is enough unusable (for visually
imparred people) crud in this world, like all these silly Flash-websites

Probably it isn't even a real problem on most boxes. Usually standard
desktops and servers (maybe) have their pc speaker which is set to a
reasonable volume at boot time. I never found this beep annoying in my
servers. Just came across it when I had to reinstall my notebook
because of a hard drive crash and 6.0 installed this beeping boot
loader. So probably as Scott pointed out, it might be best to let the
user choose a quiet loader as an option.
Naturally, boot0 is a tiny program, it shouldn't be a problem to build
a boot0nobeep as well and install one of them depending on settings,
maybe even early during sysinstall ?!

Not quite everyone - if I'm working on a few machines I find it
useful to know when a particular machine has reached the boot stage,
so I can tell it to go into single user mode. It is particularly

Re: [FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE] Incorrect geometry for VIA RAID0 array

2005-12-09 Thread Jason Harmening
Yes, the array is being recognized properly.  The problem seems to be in the
via_read_meta() function in sys/dev/ata/ata_raid.c.  Essentially, the
problem is that in the case of a striped array, the function overwrites the
total sector count of the top-level raid descriptor with the sector count of
each enumerated disk, rather than adding to the sector count.  Last night I
installed FreeBSD on the first half of the array, and then built a custom
kernel with a modification to fix this issue.  The full 148G capacity of the
array is now recognized, and I've been able to expand my slice with fdisk
and bsdlabel/newfs a new partition in the added space. So far I've written
about a gig of data to the new partition, and everything is working fine.

Note that even if you had a striped array, you wouldn't see this issue
because in your case the OS would use the promise_read_meta() routine, which
doesn't have this bug.

We should probably conditionalize this on a variable that can go into

Theoretically, yes - it can be done this way. You could use any 
GEOM-aware RAID solution, and throw ggate in the mix.


When I tried it (back in early 5-stable days) I could create the setup 
just fine, but could not stabilise it - gmirror kept loosing the ggate 
component(s), possibly(?) due to timeouts from network latency. IIRC, 
just around the time 6-stable was branched there was a similar report 
from somebody else. BUT, ggate has had several changes since then that 
should address performace, so maybe it's time to try again.


There's another problem: if you do get the over-the-network mirroring to 
work, you won't be able to share data this way: the 
one-writer-multiple-readers scenario won't work because the filesystem 
doesn't support it on the reader side (when the data gets modified by 
the writer, the reader doesn't know about it). Readonly-for-all scenario 
will work.

Questions about geom-gate and RAID1/10 and CARP

2005-12-09 Thread Michael Schuh
Hello,

i have searched informations about geom-gate and RAID1 or
Raid10 over TCP/IP. But nothing relevant found, so that i write
the questions here.

My opinion/scenario that i thinked out:
i Have 2 Machines Host  A and Host B,
both Machines have 2 Networkinterfaces,
one official and one private.
The official interfaces getting bound with CARP for
traffic, so that peoples think they connect's to one Machine.
So that i get, for this case, a high-availibility-solution on CARP-Base.
The private interfaces get to be used to derive my data from one Machine
to the other Machine, and also spend the possibility to watch the other Machine.

To this point everything is clear for me, so let us go to the more
complex part.

In the description above i be suppressed to derive the shared-data
for booth machines from one to another. My idea was to build an
RAID1 or RAID10 over the Network by using geom-gate and vinum
respective gvinum.

Has anyone any experiences with geom-gate and doing RAID1 or RAID10 over
TCP/IP? And has anyone a good solution in Production use?
My Questions about these thema are:
a) Is this generally possible with FreeBSD ?
b)is this generally a good idea ?
c)how must i setup the RAID?
d)who must build the raid? Host A? Host B? or BOTH?
e) can i use this way to become an HA-Solution?

I have searched in the Web about these questions, but nothing found.
Only things that i have found was Mirroring (local) and mode generals
related to local work with geom.

Thanks for help.

I managed to make it create 0-byte files:

$ tar zcvf b.tar.gz --exclude a a
$ ls -la b.tar*
-rw-r--r--  1 dan  wheel   0 Dec  8 17:37 b.tar

defla  Dec  8 17:3720 0   0.0% b.tar

This works because at the time tar creates the output file, it doesn't
know that I have excluded all the listed files.

I am leaning towards an empty archive being legal, though, since it
makes scripting easier.  There may be cases where you are archiving
files generated daily, and you want to distinguish "no data today" from
"the archiver didn't run".  At worst it should print a warning.


That's the reason here as well. It was a scripted process where we
create a tar.gz of new / changed files and a shell script to remove
old files. As some files had been removed only in this instance we
ended up with a script file with entries but nothing in the tar.gz which
then barfed on "install".

I know what you mean but I think this write-up is a bit too harsh. As
long as the goal is to get _as reliable as possible_ without spending
too much money, I think software RAID has its niche.

Besides, I've seen a few hardware RAID controllers having issues
themselves (and they weren't the cheapest ones available either).

to migrate.

I did. It worked.

Hmm, wasn't that a bug in the 5.3-RELEASE version that was fixed shortly
after the release?
