SCSI hang when running under Ms Virtual Server 2005

2005-02-22 Thread Ari Suutari
Hi,
I have tried to run both FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.3 under
Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005. Both boot and work
ok when virtual IDE disk is used. However, when
trying to use SCSI disk (which seems to emulate
an adaptec aic 7870 scsi adapter, so FreeBSD uses ahc driver)
results in system hang after machine says waiting 15 seconds
for scsi devices to settle.
Has anyone else attempted this ?

Re: HZ in RELENG_5? tcp_subr.c related

 and commented out the HZ=1000 line in my kernel config so I use the
 default.  But I see only 100 interrupts/sec on clk (with systat) so is
 it true that the default HZ has changed from 100 to 1000 in RELENG_5? 

In RELENG_5, the default HZ for amd64 is 1000, but for all other platforms
it is 100.  So amd64 users will see a ten-fold decrease in tcp_isn_tick()
running, but i386 (and other) users will see no change.

apache php child pid exit signal Bus error (10)

2005-02-22 Thread Rick Updegrove
Hello,
I just upgraded a lot of ports on a 4.9-STABLE machine and many php 
scripts will not run.  phpinfo() works but most scripts kill apache and 
the following is on httpd-error.log

[Tue Feb 22 04:30:33 2005] [notice] child pid 92055 exit signal Bus 
error (10)

httpd in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense
[Tue Feb 22 04:30:47 2005] [notice] child pid 92105 exit signal Bus

This is all on a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: Thu Oct 30 18:26:33 GMT 2003

This server has an uptime of  466 days,  8:06, 4 users, load averages:

I tried to start apache with truss and all I can see is that the line 
below looks suspicious but other than that I have no ideas...
How can I provide more information?

How can I trace the httpd child processes?  Should I?
Before I put in the DNS request to switch over to the 
yet-untested-in-real-life backup server can someone tell me how to get 
apache php working again on this machine before all my users wake up?

Thanks!

b_to_q to a clist with no reserved cblocks floods console

2005-02-22 Thread Rob

Hi,

I have updated my system + kernel to 5-Stable
from cvsup of around Feb. 21.

It seems that since then, my console gets flooded with
zillion lines, about once every second:

  b_to_q to a clist with no reserved cblocks

Any idea where they are from and what's going wrong?

Or is this related to a ports upgrade?

Thanks,
Rob.

Yes. Once in ddb, if I call doadump it dumps! But I have not
yet been that lucky to see it crash..

You can remove KDB_UNATTENDED from your kernel configuration, and it
should drop to DDB when it panics, so you can catch the panic then.
I don't have KDB_UNATTENDED in my kernel configuration..
if you would like to give it a look you'll find it here:

and here is my rc.conf:

but I just found out something was wrong with perl..
I had perl 5.6.2 and perl-5.8.6_2.. but calling
use.perl system would let me without any soft links
in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, while use.perl port
would create links for 5.6.2.. so I deinstalled 5.6.2
and portupgrade -f 5.8.6.. hope that fixes something..
I'll let you know.
That alone didn't fix anything.. but:
fix awstats configuration (that uses perl)
and
removed linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
from /etc/fstab
seems to have fixed it.. at least it hasn't crashed for the
last nearly two days...
But.. apart from that.. I still don't understand why the
system would not dump nor enter ddb upon crash!
Could the fact that I have an old keyboard/mouse/video switcher
attached to the crashing computer?
I mean.. what if upon crash, trying to enter ddb the system
senses that there is no keyboard attached (because the
switcher is set to another computer)?
Or.. maybe the fault that causes the crash is so severe
that the kernel don't get a chance to do anything (doadump,
nor enter ddb)?
Best regards.

I'm going to get some sleep now..
Thank you for your time, Kris.

 extremely painful for any spammers.   What are other people doing on

I doubt this is of much use for a few reasons:

1) Many spammers don't bother with any result codes. They open a
connection and start spewing data.

2) Those who do look at result codes will quickly stop if this technique
becomes prevalent.

3) There is no way to distinguish between legitimate email and spam.
Anyone setting this up would have to be very careful about how they
present the email addresses for the tarpit to the net to make sure they
didn't got to legitimate email senders.

4) Many spammers use zombied machines on cable modems and the like to do
their dirty work. Gumming up those machines doesn't really mean much to
them; they'll just go find more.

If you want to setup a tarpit/honeypot, I think it would be much more
productive to run http://projecthoneypot.org.

Panics with 5-stable - vinum? raid5?

2005-02-22 Thread daniel
Hi there,

I have random, non-reproducable panics every so often (roughly averaging once
a week) with my Intel server running FreeBSD-
5-stable and I am running out of options trying to track down the issue.

Error details:
Definitely not consistent, generally something like:
panic: vm_fault fault on naofault entry, addr:d6f68000

Turned to debugging kernel, unattended reboot and crash dumping via swap,
however this doesn't work at all. Kernel options added to GENERIC:
makeoptions DEBUG=-g
options KDB, GDB, DDB, KDB_UNATTENDED

dumpdev specified correctly in rc.conf (swap parition  mem) and rights set
correctly and existing /var/crash.
Recently cvsed /usr/src, no optimizations in /etc/make.conf and world/kernel
made in accordance with the handbook.

Further system details:

I have carried out extensive hardware tests and most of the hardware
(including most of the memory, the cpu and main board) have already been
replaced but this makes no difference to stability. I also believe this issue
was already there when running 4-STABLE. I have tried out the new geom feature
and gvinum but crashes where more frequent and panic dumps were specifically
mentioning vinum, so I turned back to non-geom vinum (which also has a
significantly higher performance).

I am sure I am forgetting to provide some required details but please ask. Has
anybody got a clue whether this is a kernel bug, hardware and/or driver bug,
vinum bug or configuration issue?

Thanks for looking into this!

OK, now that we've established that it's not actually panicking, the
overwhelmingly most likely cause of 'spontaneous reset' crashes is bad
hardware.  e.g. your power supply may be marginal and unable to hold
up to peak loads, so your system will lose power and reboot when you
exceed that load.

there are a lot of folks running old hardware (like my trusty old K6),
but they are a minority and changing HZ is not a big deal. Why make the

Has there been discussion of changing this for V6 or is there a reason I

Let's keep STABLE stable. If there are timing issues with HZ of 1000 in
V5, we clearly would not want to change before they are resolved.
Happily, I have not see these on my faster systems and have not
increased HZ on anything  1 GHz.

If I do see network problems, now I know another place to look, too.

As far as I know, no one is talking about removing the knob. I believe
the issue is the default value changing from 100 to 1000. There are many
boxes that would not be very happy with 1000. I'm sure that there are
many 75 MHz Pentiums and 66 MHz 486s still running FreeBSD and even running
V5.

 Hi,

 I wonder if /stand/sysinstall is still appropriate

 There has been a plan to remove /stand/ altogether
 after install, or even have it completely replaced
 by /rescue/.

 Moreover, a more up-to-date sysinstall is now in
 /usr/sbin/sysinstall !!

Installs still use a MFS root filesystem with sysinstall in /stand.

At the time 5.2.1 was released, RELENG_4 was still the stable branch. 
You'll need to switch to RELENG_5.  Be aware, however, that you may need
to reinstall your ports/packages -- 5.2[.1] was considered a technology
preview release for early adopters, and there was a compiler-related ABI
change that came in between 5.2 and 5.3, which affects C++ apps.  Nothing
in the base system, I think, but my recollection is that KDE and the like
needed to be reinstalled for me.

[Somewhat OT]: Is There A CVSUP Type Update For ...

2005-02-22 Thread Tim Daneliuk
I know this is a bit outside the -stable charter, but I'm hoping someone
here can respond (privately is fine):  Is there a way to do cvsup type
updates of the 'packages' tree or am I forever forced to do bulk
ftps every few weeks.  IOW, I want to mirror 'packages', in this
case for i386, and I am looking for suggestions for the best way to do
this...
TIA,

 Are you using the serial ports on your system -- for
 example, serial console, ttys entries for ttyd
 serial ports, etc? If so, I'd be interested in
 seeing the details?

No, I'm not using ttyd serial ports.

Strange enough, the message disappeared as
miraculously as it appeared.

From Feb 22 15:24:28 until about Feb 23 01:06:51
the b_to_q... line was reported approximately
25000 times, which is approx. 40 per minute.

Is this the C partition problem you refer to?

bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard
system utilities

Could this possibly be at the root of my boot problem:

disk1s1: FFS bad disklabel
disk2s1: FFS bad disklabel

It only seems to be a problem if I try to use slices as gmirror
providers and shrink them to avoid the last sector collision with the
whole disk.

Sounds like you need to create /var/.snap/
creating /var/.snap/dump_snapshot is mksnap_ffs job.  mksnap_ffs is 
launch by dump without full path and can't be found.

mksnap_ffs is in /sbin folder.
I'm I the only one here who dump -L in cron ?!?!

 mksnap_ffs is in /sbin folder.

This issue was fixed in revision 1.56 of src/sbin/dump/main.c on
January 4, 2004, and the fix is in both FreeBSD 5.3 and 5-STABLE.

Sadly for you, FreeBSD 5.2.1 has version 1.55 of that file.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/dump/main.c

Why you're posting questions about 5.2.1 to freebsd-stable instead of
freebsd-questions is something I can't answer.

 whole disk.

The c partition doesn't need to be shrunk by a sector since it's not
used as a gmirror provider, and only the slices that end at the end of
the disk/provider their slicing.  So a disk with two consecutive
slices, say a and d, only d needs to be reduced by 1 sector since a
doesn't end at the end of the disk anyways.
