Interesting story but true:

A few years back, a client of ours had a z80 based mpm based system with
three vt100 terminals.
SOMETIME AROUND 5:00PM, EACH DAY (give or take a fews mins) the vt100
terminal on the main system blinked a little and the whols system crashed,
locking out whatever anyone was doing on the other two as well.

They were on a ups, they were on surgr suppressors, the serial cables were
clean, eiii specs, we slowd down the baud rate, still happened.

guess what:  there was a postage meter (read BIG MF MAGNET) on the other
side of the wall.
5pm, just before going home, the receptionist whould 'ch-chunk' about 40

  Either I'm missing data showing the crash time, or you didn't
  include it. When does this crash happen? Is it during a burst
  of cron-spawned activity?

 It doesn't crash during a burst of cron activity, no.  It doesn't occur at
 exactly the same time each day, it moves around by a few minutes each
 time.  If you reboot manually it'll crash at the same time the next day
 (ie, 24 hours after the reboot).

 Here's the log of reboots during April.  You see it crashed every day
 between the first and the 16th.  Then it didn't crash for 10 days.  I
 rebooted manually on the 26th at 20:19, and it started crashing every
 day again.

Re: Lame DNS question (can't set maxfiles to default after upgrade to Bind 8.2.4/FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p3)

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your reply.

   What do you mean by replication?

Copying zone files from the master to the secondary; the problem servers
are secondaries.

 In any case, does this still
 happen if you start named as root? That should give you an indication of
 whether it's a login.conf problem.

There is no problem when running named as root. However, I would like to 
run it as bind.

 Also, did you run cap_mkdb after
 editing login.conf? 

Yes. A couple of times: I tried again when it failed.

If the problem persists when starting the server as
 root, post your login.conf file in your response.
 
 

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

How many zones are you talking about? named does not need to open

Machine Lockups on 4.5-RELEASE

2002-03-23 Thread Drew Tomlinson

I have an AMD 486 DX-100 machine that has run flawlessly since
4.0-RELEASE.  Although slow, I build custom kernels, and use ports to
build and install software.  The software on this machine is minimal
as I use it for my firewall and to serve DHCP requests.  Here is the
list of installed ports:

snort-1.8.3 Lightweight network intrusion detection system

I've had no problems until upgrading from 4.4-RELEASE to 4.5-RELEASE.
Since the upgrade, my machine locks up occasionally when under heavy
load, doing things like compiling or updating to ports database.  The
only thing I can do at this point is power off/on the machine.

I know at first this appears hardware related but I don't suspect it
is because it started right after the upgrade.  Is there anything that
happened between 4.4  4.5 that could account for this?  If so, has it
been fixed in -STABLE?  If it helps, I'd be willing to revert to
4.4-RELEASE and see if the problem persists.

Thanks for any input,

Drew

4.5-RELEASE kernel panic

2002-03-19 Thread Michael Allman

Hello All,

Below is an abbreviated kernel debugging session from a kernel panic.  I
suspect this is due to a bug in the network routing code.  Somehow, a null
pointer got thrown in the works.  Could someone more knowledgable of these
things have a look?  I can provide more information as requested.
Thanks!

My system:  FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE on an AMD Athlon 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Intel
Etherexpress PRO 100S.

What I found with gdb -k:

crashes on 4.5-RELEASE

2002-02-22 Thread Jan L. Peterson

Okay, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware problem now.  I was seeing 
periodic crashes with 4.5-RELEASE on a new laptop I was building.  
Various posts on this list convinced me that I had a hardware problem.  
I tried swapping out the RAM and it seemed to crash less (and in a 
different place).  Crashes after swapping the RAM were always in the xl 
routines.

So, being convinced that I had a hardware problem (mother board or cpu 
or something like that), I swapped out the *entire machine*.

I'm still seeing the crashes.

So, I have /usr/ports nfs mounted from another freebsd box.

I cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation; make install

The machine panics (sometimes right away, sometimes after several 
minutes).  Here's the panic message:

FYI, this machine is an HP Omnibook 6000.  It has the xl ethernet 
built in and this is the interface I'm using.  

In this particular case, my entire sequence of events was:

boot
login
su
mount /usr/ports (from the nfs server)
cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation
make clean
make install
kaboom

Just had another crash, panic this time was again supervisor read, page 
not present, but current process was syncer.  Traceback shows:
malloc(...)
initiate_write_inodeblock(...)
softdep_disk_io_initiation(...)
spec_strategy(...)
bwrite(...)
vop_stdbwrite(...)
vop_defaultop(...)
vfs_bio_awrite(...)
spec_fsync(...)
sched_sync(...)
fork_trampoline(...)

I do have soft updates turned on on the single / filesystem on this 
box.  Should I turn them off?

I would be happy to supply my kernel config file to anyone interested.

P.S. I also have the problem with these Omnibooks that if you tell them 
to reboot (or halt followed by pressing any key to reboot), they 
hang in a weird kind of half power on state.  The display goes black 
(the backlight turns off), but if you shine a flashlight on the LCD, 
you can still see text there.  The Power light on the front does not 
turn off, and the machine still generates plenty of heat, but the cpu 
cooling fan will not turn itself on.  Any suggestions for that?

Re: crashes on 4.5-RELEASE

2002-02-22 Thread Andy Sparrow


 FYI, this machine is an HP Omnibook 6000.  It has the xl ethernet 
 built in and this is the interface I'm using.  

I've had one of these for over a year, and I use the network  NFS fairly 
heavily.

It's very stable for me (only remaining niggles on this platform for me were 
sound and xl0 post-resume - but these were completely addressed for me by a 
couple of commits just pre-4.5-RELEASE).

 I do have soft updates turned on on the single / filesystem on this 
 box.  Should I turn them off?

They don't cause me any problems (in fact quite the opposite, I think), I've 
been running them for quite some time. Never caused a single funny for me..

 I would be happy to supply my kernel config file to anyone interested.

I'd be happy to provide you with mine, this might be quicker :)

 P.S. I also have the problem with these Omnibooks that if you tell them 
 to reboot (or halt followed by pressing any key to reboot), they

Ahh yes, everything in this area used to work fine (including 'shutdown -p'), 
but broke after Warner made the PCI-routing changes for PCCARD.

He can reproduce it with his hardware, and it's not a real big thing anyway 
(plus he's doing some good work *waves*, don't wanna distract him with 
trifles)..

Just 'halt' the machine, and use the little power key in the top-left corner 
when it says to Press Any Key. It'll startup clean.


Cheers,

Re: crashes on 4.5-RELEASE

2002-02-22 Thread Jan L. Peterson

I have a fbsd file server that doesn't crash.  The box that crashes is 
nfs mounting /usr/ports from the server.  My thoughts are that there is 
some interaction in the nfs code with the xl driver.

Re: panic on 4.5-RELEASE

2002-02-14 Thread martijn

Once upon a Wed, Feb 13 2002, Jan L. Peterson hit keys in the following order:
 
 I've just installed 4.5-RELEASE on my new hard drive in an HP 
 Omnibook 6000.  Doing heavy disk activity combined with network 
 activity results in a panic.  I discovered this first while doing an 
 installworld off of a nfs mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj.  Some fiddling 
 left me with a broken system and I had to re-install.  On the new 
 install, I built a kernel with DDB in it and then tried tarring 
 /usr/ports from a nfs mounted filesystem to a local filesystem.  Boom 
 again.

I might have had a similair problem. haven't looked into it any deeper yet, but
it looks like UDP NFS mounts with 16384 make the NFS server's kernel crash
hard. after i found a workaround, i didn't have chance to trace this bug.

My situation was that i was copying a bunch of stuff from a linux machine,
which had options for nfs mounts set to 16384 byte blocks.  When i set them to
8192, FreeBSD didn't crash any more.


hope this helps...

  But server ignore this information and still send 1500 bytes packets
 
 
 What's the result of 'sysctl net.inet.tcp.path_mtu_discovery'  ??  Not that
 I can imagine, at the moment, what would set it to 0

4.5-Release kernel locking hard after 30 minutes

2002-02-01 Thread Neil McGann

I tried to upgrade from 4.4-R to 4.5-R via CVSUP. Kernel compiled and 
installed fine (as generic, but includes ipfilter and stripped down to 
eliminate unnecessary devices). I started doing a buildworld, but after 30 
mins of heavy compiling the machine locked solid - a hard reset required to 
recover. Never seen this before.

I booted back to 4.4R Kernel and all is well again. PC is Asus Cuple-VM 
mobo (82C686B southbridge), 256Mb, integrated graphics, 60Gb IBM HD, 400MHz 
celeron, 2xFA311 NIC. Uptime is weeks with 4.4R under heavy usage (only 
tweaking the kernel has required a reboot).

Suggestions of how to attack the 4.5 lockup problem?

Neil

Is router the same IP address that server has as the route to
client? That is, there aren't any aliases on router's interface
with server making problems?
