Re: ISDN4BSD removal
Or have they been superceded by voip stacks that abstract away the isdn layer? I would contend, at least in the US, ISDN is alive and well. Your basic smb softpbx installation is going to be talking to a digium card that is connected to a Basic/Primary Rate ISDN (B/PRI) or T-line. If the OP is using I4B to do voice data processing, perhaps he would be better served migrating to either freeswitch and/or asterisk ports?

Re: is there a bug in AWK on 6.x and 7.x (fixed in 8.x)?

Re: cname replace in mail address? [off-topic] (Re: Attn Ronald Klop)
Does the recipient MTA actually receive for both klop.yi.org *and* thuis.klop.ws? The recipient MTA will dereference the CNAME and rewrite the envelope for the reason that it can only relay to an RR that points to a real host. You might be able to fix it if you configure the mta on thuis.klop.ws to accept mail for the thuis.klop.ws domain in addition to klop.yi.org (which I assume is how you have it setup).

We have two systems configured identically one using 4.9 the other 6.3. My concern was that someone had botched something up in rc.conf or during the OS upgrade/migration, resulting in there being no loopback interface. I also wanted to verify that your routing table looked correct for what ifconfig showed. Other users pointed you to RFC 3927. Wikipedia has this to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address Based on RFC 3927, IPv4 uses the 169.254.0.0/16 range of addresses. However, the first and last /24 subnet (256 addresses each) in this block have been excluded from use and are reserved by the standard.[1] I read this to mean 169.254.0.0/24 and 169.254.255.0/24. Your previous ifconfig statement shows: $ ifconfig rl0 rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.129.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.129.255 inet 169.254.1.1 netmask 0x broadcast 169.254.255.255 ether 00:30:18:ae:7c:77 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active With this configuration, you're using both the first and last /24 netblocks -- 169.254.0.0 for your network address, and 169.254.255.255 for your broadcast address. You should be able to avoid this by using 169.254.1.0/24. RFC 3927 also has complicated rules involving when one can or should not use a link-local address on the same interface as a routable IP, so at best your configuration may not be supported anyway. One should not use a link-local address as if it were under RFC 1918 rules, in particular because link-local involves self-assigned addresses and internal conflict mitigation. -- === Peter C.

Re: nss_ldap and multiple group memberships
Wow this is a really well written explanation. On 2010-02-25 11:17:32AM +1100, Scott, Brian wrote: It depends on the type of group. There are at least two types of group objects that you can use in LDAP but only one of them works. You need to use posixGroup objects for unix groups. As I remember it, these have memberUid attributes for the member ids. These are simple unix identifiers. groupOfNames objects on the other hand have full distinguished names with 'member' attributes and can't be used by nss_ldap. The idea is that posixGroup and posixAccount mimic the unix files so extraction of the data is fast. If the software used a groupOfNames object then the returned member names would need to queried as additional transactions to find the uid's of those entries that had posixAccount information. This is because the original authentication was done by pam_ldap and that just returned a UID to the system. If it returned the LDAP distinguished name to the system, and if that could then be passed into nss_ldap it would be possible to do the LDAP query in a single transaction. But then that all breaks down if you authenticate with something else like GSSAPI. If that was the case you would need to first search for the posixAccount object of the authenticated user ((objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=1001)) and then search for all the group of names containing that distinguished name ((objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=uid=bscott,ou=People,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe)). That's two transactions and seems unnecessarily wasteful. Mind you, if it was an option I'd probably turn it on.

Re: hardware for home use large storage
* vm.kmem_size * vm.kmem_size_max I tried kmem_size_max on -current (this year), and I got a panic during use, I changed kmem_size to the same value I have for _max and it didn't panic anymore. It looks (from mails on the lists) that _max is supposed to give a max value for auto-enhancement, but at least it was not working with ZFS last month (and I doubt it works now). It used to be that vm.kmem_size_max needed to be bumped to allow for larger vm.kmem_size. It's no longer needed on amd64. Not sure about i386. vm.kmem_size still needs tuning, though. While vm.kmem_size_max is no longer a limit, there are other checks in place that result in default vm.kmem_size being a bit on the conservative side for ZFS. Then, when it comes to debugging problems as a result of tuning improperly (or entire lack of), the following counters (not tunables) are thrown into the mix as things people should look at: kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c_min kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c_max c_max is vfs.zfs.arc_max, c_min is vfs.zfs.arc_min. kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.evict_skip kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.memory_throttle_count kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size I'm not very sure about size and c... both represent some kind of current size, but they are not the same. arcstats.c -- adaptive ARC target size. I.e. that's what ZFS thinks it can grow ARC to. It's dynamically adjusted based on when/how ZFS is back-pressured for memory. arcstats.size -- current ARC size arcstats.p -- portion of arcstats.c that's used by Most Recently Used items.

In short, did you do what I did somewhat accidentally? I did a netboot, set loader.conf to mount mfsroot as my root fs. For reasons I'm still unclear on, it did not grab mfsroot and proceeded to try and mount root over nfs (which happened to be exported RO). It seems like if my nfs was exported rw, I would have been running with all the tools I needed and the drives would be available to me... I'm going to try with rw nfs, currently the machine's locked up as it's confused about a ro root... Thanks, Charles I didn't muck with the loader at all (well except for ZFS tuning). TBH, my serial console is a hardware redirect that BIOS provides so I actually just mdconfig'ed the ISO and exported that via NFS. By booting NFS root RO, init will bail out before being able to run sysinstall and somehow it will spawn getty instead, asking me to login.

They use software RAID and hardware RAID at the same time? I'm not sure what you mean by this. Compatibility with FreeBSD? Add-on (PCI-X/PCIe) RAID controllers tend to have solid drivers in FreeBSD. Add-on SATA controllers not so much. The RAID controllers also tend to support more SATA features like NCQ, hot-swap, monitoring, etc. They also enable you to use the same hardware across OSes (FreeBSD, Linux, etc). For example, we use 3Ware controllers in all our servers, as they have good, solid support under FreeBSD and Linux. On the Linux servers, we use hardware RAID. On the FreeBSD servers, we use them as SATA controllers (Single Disk arrays, not JBOD). Either way, the management is the same, the drivers are the same, the support is the same. It's hard to find good, non-RAID, SATA controllers with solid FreeBSD support, and good throughput, with any kind of management/monitoring features. And I thought I found one in the Adaptec 1405 Integrated SAS/SATA controller, because it's marketed as an inexpensive SAS/SATA non-RAID addon-card. On top of that, they advertise it as having FreeBSD6 and FreeBSD7-support and drivers. So I ordered it for my storage-box (FreeNAS) with great expectations. Sadly, they don't have support nor drivers for FreeBSD (drivers will be released Q4 2009) at all, so I'm thinking of leaving FreeNAS and trying some linux-flavor that does support this card... But Adaptec doesn't have a great track-record for FreeBSD-support, does it? Everything is a repackage of some OEM these days (basically gone are the days of Adaptec==LSI==mpt(4) and all). Find the actual chipset make and model if you can, then you can look at what is supported, as the drivers deal with the actual chipset and could care less about the brand of some vertically-integrated fpga package.

Re: FreeBSD 8.0: RAID-1 using gpart, gvinum and gmirror
Why are you using gvinum for RAID 1 instead of gmirror? The gmirror method for mirroring the boot partition is already well documented... On 2009-12-02 12:35:17PM +0200, Marin Atanasov wrote: Hello, I'm going to make my partition mirrored using the geom utilities, but however I've noticed that I cannot use the same way I used to do it under 7.2 and 8.0-RC1. Here's the situation - I tried a lot of times to make my root partition mirrored using gvinum, but each time when I boot in the new partition I'm unable to boot from it.. So instead of using gvinum for the root partition I've decided to use gmirror - and it works! I did it the following way - two NOT identical disks are added to the system. - 1 slices on the first disk - 2 slices on the second one (the 1st slice is the size of the root partition which is on the 1st slice on the 1st disk) Right after a fresh minimal install, I go to single-user mode and create the mirror: # gmirror label -vb round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0s1a Installing bootstap code on the second disk (in case I need to boot later from it): # fdisk -BI /dev/ad4s1 # bsdlabel -wB /dev/ad4s1 # newfs -O2 /dev/ad4s1 # newfs -O2 -U /dev/ad4s2 And then inserting the second component of the mirror: # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad4s1 And this is how I was doing a mirror for the root partition. For the other partitions - /usr, /var, /tmp, swap I used gvinum following a different articles, howtos and eventually it worked. The complete scenario of how I did the mirror for the other partitions is here (sorry, it's too long to just copy/paste it in the lists): http://www.daemonforums.org/showpost.php?p=27010postcount=3 If I can say it with little words - the way mirroring works for the other partitions was to overlap all the other partitions with one big vinum partition. My problem now is that I cannot do this anymore, because I need to use gpart instead for creating the partitions, and using gpart I cannot create a vinum partition that will overlap the other partitions, so I cannot make any mirror for the other partitions. Is there any other way of doing this? I'm out of ideas now, perhaps you could help me out with this :) Thanks and regards, Marin -- Marin Atanasov Nikolov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org -- === Peter C.

Re: Torrent clients bring pf-based firewall to its knees...?
If only a reboot solves the problem sounds like a kernel problem? mbuf leakage? On 2009-07-24 04:56:11PM -0400, Mike Edenfield wrote: I've recently begun running a torrent client after hours on a PC sitting behind our firewall (7.2-STABLE using pf). I have added a 'rdr' rule to redirect incoming traffic to the client PC from the firewall, and as far as the client is concerned everything is fine. However, after a short period of torrent activity, the machine running the firewall becomes extremely slow and lagged for all network traffic, but appears to be operating fine locally. Remote connections via ssh become extremely unresponsive, and eventually connections start timing out, but when logged in at the console, there doesn't appear to be any problem. Running tcpdump does not show nusually high volume of traffic, no more than I see during normal activity during the day. The volume and length of connections doesn't seem to matter much -- trying to copy a BSD or Linux DVD with hundreds of connections breaks just as quickly as much smaller torrents with a handful of peers. I know there are some cheap NAT-ing routers that get in trouble with torrents because of the heavy volume of state rules required, but I've never heard of anything like that being present in pf. And I've used torrent clients at home behind a pf firewall with no issues, but not on this specific version of the FreeBSD. I've tried shutting down the torrent client, clearing out the state and nat rules with pfctl, adding drop rules to reject the torrent traffic, and even bringing the network adapter down completely, but only a physical reboot (combined with not running the client ever again) seems to solve anything. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Or alternatively, is there some way besides tcpdump and top (neither of which show anything unusual) that I can tell what exactly the machine is doing that's causing the network lag? --Mike ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org -- === Peter C.

Re: SCSI device not created upon a CF card plug in
GEOM should pick up the state change, but the bug may continue to exist because the CF reader is tagged as a storage device with invalid media when umass attaches to it on startup; there wasn't a really good way to actually enumerate the slice table upon insertion because the device does not send a disconnect/reconnect to the bus when you insert the card. At the time, the workaround was to tickle the device by attempting a mount against the whole disk, then the slice table will be enumerated. Example, CF card reader on boot will be picked up as /dev/da4 You insert card, no state change can be detected because the device doesn't get reset on the bus. mount /dev/da0 /mnt -- will fail for obvious reasons, but now slices are enumerated mount /dev/da0s1f /mnt/mycfcard -- ok On 2009-07-23 06:24:17PM +0300, Andriy Gapon wrote: on 23/07/2009 17:14 Kevin Oberman said the following: If Linux detects media insertion instantly or Windows detects media insertion instantly (which I can confirm), there is some signal available, so looking at the Linux driver should provide a clue as to what to look for and that can be added to the FreeBSD umass driver.

I'm not aware that MySQL and Postgres do though so the best you can do is a dump. With MySQL at least, you can (ab)use the replication facilities so that you can set up a slave and do the fs-level dump while the slave is in a frozen state - the last time I played with MySQL, you could basically desync your slave for a period of time (basically until transaction logs are purged on the master), during which the slave will be consistent; do the fs-level backup then kick the master to sync with the slave again. -- === Peter C.

It seems all of sudden after recompiling Apache, it developed a problem
with chr(\\1) and chr(0x\\1). I didn't touch PHP or MySQL, just
recompile of Apache, and it still has all same configurations and host

By restarting apache you also reload mod_php, so if you have upgraded
your PHP between your last apache restart and this one that might be it.
and IIRC by restarting apache you also reload php.ini.
Another thing is that php5-pcre is now part of php5, and not an extra
extension. I don't know whether that is also for 5.1.
The function below seems working on 5.2.8 and 5.3.0-beta1.

$source = preg_replace('/#x([a-f0-9]+);/mei',

I've googled and tried all suggestions but nothings helping. I'm using
FreeBSD 6.2, Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.1.6_3, MySQL 5.0.27. Should I missed a

Re: ext2 inode size patch - RE: PR kern/124621

I will do some more research into the ext2 inode structure on disk and see what happens when inode size 128. Possibly overstating the obvious, but since e2fsprogs were the ones who actually initiated the change in default inode size, maybe start digging through that to see what it actually does with the other 128 bytes (the changelog and some posts on comp.os.linux seem to suggest is that it has something to do with optimizing extended attributes/acls; basically extended acls being inaccessible to kernels that ignore the extra data, and 2.4 kernels refusing to mount those filesystems at all (presumably due to the same assumption we've been making)). -- === Peter C.

The on-board NIC is a different type to your expansion cards (note the different 'chip=' values. Looking at the code, it appears that only some variants of the RTL8168 are supported in 7.x. Unfortunately, pciconf doesn't report the actual hardware revision, so you can't tell from the pciconf output whether it's supported or not. Can you report the output of 'pciconf -r pci0:1:0:0 0x40' (which should report the hw revision) and 'pciconf -r pci0:2:4:0 0x40' (which gives me a double-check). You could try booting -current and see if the on-board NIC works there - the range of supported NICs has changed. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.

Re: NIC card problems
Peter Jeremy wrote: Real DEC Tulip cards do this when running Tru64 as well. My guess is that it's a bug in the NIC. (And it looks like AMDtek have copied it). Peter, Warner, Stefan, et al.: I just found this thread on the mailing list, and am responding to it, a year later :) I also believe the problem is a bug in the NIC as well, since the ADMTek 985 appears to not listen to the automagic buffer underrun recovery command. Silby added some patches to mbuf allocation in 2003 after stress testing dc(4), which improves the situation somewhat (ability to sustain the traffic longer) but doesn't solve it. While my system doesn't reboot (panic), it will often hang as a result of this. What happens then is that when the interface tries to transmit, a No buffer space available error occurs. If one can access the console, it can be rescued by bringing the interface down and then up again using ifconfig(8). This will reset the card and presumably flush the buffers. I wonder if any work has been done on the driver in -CURRENT (and I am too lazy to look), but in the next few weeks the machine is getting overhauled from 4.11 to 6 (reformat/reinstall) so we shall see if it does anything. -- Peter C.

PPP routing failure
Hi everyone - I'm experiencing some funky routing failures when I dialup netscape internet via user-level PPP: I can negotiate IPCP fine; get a point-to-point link via tun0: myaddr: 172.143.224.146; hisaddr: 63.152.0.70 When the default route is setup to 63.152.0.70, all of my packets are blackholed after the first router hop. I am not using NAT. The PPP link works perfectly fine in windows dialup networking. So I dunno what is wrong. When I look at the routing table in windows, it seems backwards: DESTNM GW IF default 0 myaddr ppp hisaddr 0x myaddr ppp localhost 0xff00 localhost localhost myaddr 0x localhost localhost myaddr.255.255* 0x myaddr ppp multicast multicast myaddr ppp *this is the first 2 dotted quads of myaddr appended with 255.255 If I try to manually set these routes in 5.3-R, I still can't get out :( Setting ADD DEFAULT MYADDR doesn't work, because ppp will still think MYADDR is 0.0.0.0.

sandisk cruzer mini quirks [failure] on RELENG_4
I have a 512mb version of the SanDisk Cruzer Mini keychain drive.
ProductId = 0x5150 (VendorID=0x0781). I am unable to correctly get it to
stop crashing the system when using cp(1) to copy large files to it.
I patched /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/umass.c as:
if (UGETW(dd-idVendor) == USB_VENDOR_SANDISK
(UGETW(dd-idProduct) == 0x5150) {
sc-proto = UMASS_PROTO_SCSI | UMASS_PROTO_BBB;
sc-quirks |= IGNORE_RESIDUE;
}
which is the same quirks patch that USB_PRODUCT_SANDISK_SDCZ2_256 (the
cruzer mini 256mb) uses. However, this fails to rectify the problem.
Notably dd(1) transfers files fine. This is on a RELENG_4 system, cvsup
yesterday. Any ideas?
thanks,
pete

panic: CMAP busy returned?
For a long while now (since 4.4), I have experienced random reboots while compiling large things (such as world). I always attributed it to bad ram, but i just put a stick of brand new crucial in today, and decided to do some major i/o testing. It ran ok for a while, and then spontaneously rebooted. On my Fbsd 4.6.1-R-p7 box with 384mb ram, k62-400, via mvp3 chipset, I was compiling a kernel and mod-php4 at the same time. The kernel panic'd with a 'panic: (something): CMAP Busy' I didn't notice the panic until just when it was going to reboot, so I don't know what the (something) was. I looked at some mailng list archives and found a closed PR from 3.0-R regarding this. It is difficult for me to notice the panic(s) because I usually remotely admin the box; it just happened that I was doing this onsite and had access to the console. I don't know how to trace a kernel, but if someone would like more information, feel free to contact me about doing this; it would be nice to know if I should submit a PR at this point.
