maximum process limit
To all, I am running squid-2.5 STABLE10 on 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD in production, and I am trying to increase the maximum process size to be 2GB. I have found a few references, however, they are all related to older releases (FreeBSD 3) of FreeBSD. As this server is already in production, I just want to make sure that I am doing the right thing and the 2GB mem size is being supported on the above version. Can I have an option in the kernel option MAXDSIZE=\(2048*1024*1024\) will this option alone change the default maximum process size? Or do I have to edit the login.conf file to override the details as well as the kernel changes? Many thanks Tomas -- tp PRIVACY CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail is private and confidential.

drac management card
I have installed 5.4-RELEASE10 FreeBSD on Dell PowerEdge 750 which has an internal Drac III/XT Server Management Card. I only found compatibles for RedHat which will talk to the card. Is there anything for freebsd? tomas -- tp PRIVACY CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail is private and confidential.

RE: vinum or gvinum
Stijn, I think I am almost there as the disks are now sincing. Thank you for your help, it has been really appreciated. I am still going fiddle with the mirror with the gvinum. Tomas -- tp -Original Message- From: Stijn Hoop [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 September 2005 12:12 To: Tomas Palfi Subject: Re: vinum or gvinum Hi, On Fri, Sep 09, 2005 at 12:04:42PM +0100, Tomas Palfi wrote: Thanks for this update, I am configuring the gmirror as per the instructions, however, there is one thing which bothers me a bit. bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0s1 when editing the new layout, it advices me to start a partition at offset 16, and c as per default at offset 0. do I have to retain the offset 16 for the a partition where my root is located or can i have another offset + 16 and start swap at 0 offset? In this case the swap would start with offset 0 as b. Sounds fine. In the past there have been troubles with old BIOSes not booting from root partitions that were located far on the disk (2G I believe). I don't think that limitation exists anymore, but keep it in mind. Other than that, FreeBSD will be happy. this is my exiting layout on /dev/da0s1 a: 10485760 10485760 that's /root b: 10485760 0 swap c: 1433639970 d: 20911520 20911520 /home e: 14680064 41943040 /tmp f: 14680064 56623104 /var g: 72060829 71303168 /usr/local and this is what I would lay it as on the /dev/mirror/gm0s1 |-|-|-|---|||| 16 swap /root /home /tmp /var /usr/local a: 10485760 (10485760 + 16) that's /root b: (10485760 - 16) 16 swap c: 1433639970 d: 20911520 20911520 /home e: 14680064 41943040 /tmp f: 14680064 56623104 /var g: 72060829 71303168 /usr/local in this case the swap would be offset by those 16?? Yes, I would definitely offset things by 16 sectors. I don't really know what's stored there but you don't lose much and it probably makes sense. Also keep in mind that you need to make sure that /dev/ad0s1 does NOT cover the ENTIRE disk, but rather leaves a few sectors spare at the end. This is to make sure that gmirror does not confuse /dev/ad0 and /dev/ad0s1 as providers for the mirror (it stores it's metadata in the last sector). All of this is described in the article, although maybe not very clear. Note also that by default, FreeBSD leaves a few sectors spare when runnign fdisk, so it's not an issue most of the time unless you 'dangerously dedicate' your disks. Hopefully it'll all work out today ;-) --Stijn -- It's harder to read code than to write it. -- Joel Spolsky, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog69.html PRIVACY CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail is private and confidential.

vinum or gvinum
Hi all, I am still struggling to set up a one way mirror on two 72GB disks on 5.4 intel platform, however, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what to use in the first place. this is vinum v gvinum. I have managed to get to the point where I can fsck all volumes, however when rebooting the box would not come back giving me this: vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Tried to configure the same with gvinum replicating the vinum.conf, however, still nothing. You know, when you are creating the vinum volume in bsdlabel and offsetting it with 16 blocks giving it vinum format, do you change this for gvinum as well??? my config would not have it, I can save it? I also tried the geom_vinum_load=YES in the /boot/loader.conf, however, should I have vinum.autostart=YES there as well for the gvinum?? On another occasion I have edited /etc/rc.d/vinum changing the start_cmd to gvinum start - nothing happened??? Also in the vinum.conf file that I laboriously create each time I try, is the drive Master device /dev/da0s1h with the h which is the slice which I create in the bsdlabel or is it the device name /dev/da0s1a for the root volume?? Non of it worked for me. Help me out from here please. This is supposed to be a production server and I have spent two days on it already.

vinum volume manager
Hi All, I have used the following message as a template, I have exactly the same problem with vinum, and wonder if someone knows the solution to it. --- I've been trying to get a bootstrapped vinum volume up and running on a 5.4 release system (generic kernel, minimal install), based this How-to: http://devel.reinikainen.net/docs/how-to/Vinum/ But I've managed to run into a problem that no amount of Googling, reading the archive of this list, or reading the manual seems help me get by. Basically, I have Vinum configured fine and can successfully run: vinum create -f /etc/vinum.conf The Vinum volume is all fine and a vinum list shows no problems. I can also successfully do a fsck on each of the mounts. However, it appears that the vinum config isn't being saved, as rebooting the machine can't find the vinum root partition, and after manually booting to the pre-vinum root (ufs:ad0s1a) running vinum list shows no volume information. During the reboot, vinum appears to load ok, but it can't find the root (as shown by the last bit of the dmesg): vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 The relevant config files look like this: /etc/fstab /boot/loader.conf vinum_load=YES vinum.autostart=YES I know that David Kelly attempted to rectify the problem gvinum, however, does the problem still persists with vinum?

Vinum volume manager
To all, i've got a server with two identical disks which I would like to set up as a one way mirror with Vinum volume manager. How do I go about configuring the entire disk making it bootable mirror of the first one? I managed to do it in Solstice on Solaris, but Vinum support is different. thanks -- tp PRIVACY CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail is private and confidential.

jdk1.2.2
all, trying to build jdk1.2.2 for Freebsd from 'jdk1_2_2-src[1].tar.gz' using a patch set 'freebsd-jdk122-patches-10[1].tar.gz'. i have followed the instructions as in the INSTRUCTIONS file from the patches, and everything seemed to be ok. I followed the path one to build a normal JDK1.2.2 (not the one for testing and development) but when it came to 'build world' it started complaining about javac not found. I have appended some of the specific details on my system as to illustrate the environment. I have checked where the javac classes are in the file system, and would like to include the whole path but how would i do that?? I had initially unpacked the source in /usr/local/java (not in /usr/local/jdk1.2.2) and set up all the environmental settings accordingly as follows: setenv ALT_BOOTDIR /usr/local/java setenv ALT_MOTIF_DIR /usr/X11R6/share/doc/openmotif setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/X11R6 unsetenv CLASSPATH unsetenv JAVA_HOME unsetenv JAVA_COMPILER HAVE_DPS no HAVE_ODBC no my installation is without odbs and dps support as it is only attempt no1, (and i can do without print screen at present time). thank you -- Tomas Palfi To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message
No Subject
hi, i am using Dell PowerEdge 2500 with RAID5 single container of 33.9gb dangerously dedicated with PERC 3/Di controller. the problem is that the system freezes occasionally, however, not on regular basis. the system may go down over a quiet period of time when not in heavy use. i thought it may have been the ups configuration but, i have now arrieved to a conclusion that it may be something to do with the battery support for RAID controller. i have personnally tested the ups on a different server and it is ok (as far as my knowledge goes). it was doing the same even without the ups - no powercuts involved! when the system is rebooted after the freeze, after a while it displays message on aac0: ** Battery is now fully charged! i was looking for some utility program that would offer me some kind of a control over the RAID battery so i can determine and possibly eliminate another cause of the freezing. any reference in mailgroups are leading me to ups support and RAID itself but nothing mentioning the battery support, with the exception of Dell which discusses a reconditioning cycle of the batteries, possible affects on the system and approximate duration and freequencies of reconditioning. (Dell Man support) any valid suggestions, discussions welcome thank you -- Tomas Palfi i would love to contribute. perhaps one day!

telnet
hi when telneting my server, the server waits for a relatively long time (about 20s) before it connects me. it used to work fine and instantly untill i have tried to ftp particular library sites. it didn't connect me and i HUPed the sockets that were trying to connect with kill command (silly thing to do). i've checked the inetd.conf file and the entry for telnet is telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/telnetdtelnetd in fact i haven't made any changes to this file. when checking sockstat -4 for ip-v4 it shows that: USER COMMANDPID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS root telnetd3320 tcp4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:23 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1173 root telnetd3321 tcp4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:23 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1173 and the rest for other sock's i am able to connect but why it takes such a long time?? is it something to do with the nowait and listening on that port? would anyone know please thank you -- Tomas Palfi To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message
