can't freebsd-update from 7.1-PRERELEASE
Hi, Apparently 7.1-PRERELEASE has been pulled from freebsd-update's server while I was being lazy: calvin% sudo freebsd-update --debug upgrade -r 7.1-BETA2 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... fetch: http://update1.FreeBSD.org/7.1-PRERELEASE/i386/latest.ssl: Not Found failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. Any workarounds? -- pica ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Desired behaviour of ifconfig -alias
* Oliver Fromme [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20070212 19:11]: But you called it confusing. That's just your personal perception. It doesn't mean it is confusing to everybody. In fact it might be useful to others. It _is_ useful to me, for example, and I would object for that syntax to go away. Also note that it doesn't hurt anybody. Until it appears on a system startup script that ends up dropping your connection (so, go fix rc.d/jail ...). qvb -- pica ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sed and comma-delimited file
* SigmaX asdf [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060919 18:31]: I have a series of comma-delimited text files with fourteen columns of data and several hundred rows. I want to use a short shell script to strip them of the last 9 columns, leaving the same file but with just five of its columns. I can do it in C++, but that seems like overkill. How would I go about doing it with sed or a similar utility? cut -d ',' -f 1-5 qvb -- pica ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PXE Installation
* Karel Miklav [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060120 03:34]:
I tried to follow the spirit and did a PXE boot from the installation
CD (6.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso) files. It started well, displayed
the FreeBSD boot menu, listed devices, mounted NFS share and finally
crashed with:
Lookup of /dev for devfs, error 2
init:not found in path ...
panic: no init
Please give me a hand, I'm playing with this for whole week.
I've succesfully installed PXE booting from the release discs. You need
to setup a TFTP server (which you probably already have), a DHCP server
and an NFS server. Details of my setup are:
#in dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.124.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
filename /boot/pxeboot;
option root-path 192.168.124.1:/tftpboot;
next-server 192.168.124.1;
range 192.168.124.64 192.168.124.127;
}
515,p1,0$ grep ^tftp /etc/inetd.conf
tftpdgram udp waitroot/usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s
/tftpboot
506,p1,0$ ls -l /tftpboot
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Oct 29 14:20 /tftpboot - /mnt
507,p1,0$ mount |grep mnt
/dev/vn0 on /mnt (cd9660, NFS exported, local, read-only)
513,p1,0$ grep mnt /etc/exports
/mnt -alldirs -ro -network 192.168.124.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.124.1
With this setup I boot into the live CD, and from there I use the
install.sh scripts to copy the distribution.

Re: Creating a system RAID-10 device
* Sven Willenberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060117 22:06]: over 3 mirror raid arrays that would encompass the entire filesystem including the /boot and root partitions. Generally I would create a RAID10 from 6 disks as follows: gmirror label -v -b round-robin md1 da0 da1 gmirror label -v -b round-robin md2 da2 da3 gmirror label -v -b round-robin md3 da4 da5 gstripe label -v -s 131072 md0 /dev/mirror/md1 /dev/mirror/md2 /dev/mirror/md3 newfs /dev/stripe/md0 naturally the problem here is that it cannot be done on a system that booted from da0. I have seen the example of setting up a mirrored system drive (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html ) which won't quite work for my case either. Using this method I could probably get the one mirror (md1) to work, but I know of no way of then adding the other 2 mirror sets and then redoing the system to stripe across all 3 mirrored sets. Uhm. The problem is that you can't mount the root fs from a striped partition. Create an extra slice on each drive and either configure a 6-way mirror or a mirror-of-3-sripes to boot from. The only thing I could think of was to boot from the livecd and create the 6-disk array and then trying to install FreeBSD onto this filesystem. In order to do this the installer would have to recognize /dev/stripe/md0 as a valid drive -- is there any way to have this happen? I don't believe sysinstall is smart enough, but you can always use the install.sh scripts on the distribution. However, the above still aplies. qvb -- pica ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: gvinum/vinum on 6.0
* Brian Szymanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060111 13:01]: But most importantly, gvinum configuration (at least for a raid-5 plex) still doesn't persist across a reboot :( That's a bug; I think it might be related to compiling gvinum in the kernel as opposed to loading it from /boot/loader.conf. I also think there is a fix already commited to 6-STABLE. Hmm, I upgraded to 6-STABLE and I'm still having the problem. Here's basically how it happens: gvinum create /etc/vinum.cnf newfs /dev/gvinum/VOLUME mount /dev/gvinum/VOLUME /mnt #screw with /mnt, everything works and is happy, yay! reboot At this point I call gvinum l (which loads geom_vinum.ko) by hand (after the reboot). My configuration mostly seems to persist - except or the drives section... I believe you don't have the proper STABLE version. I'm setting up a new system and after encountering the same problem I can currently reboot successfully and even mount / from vinum: gromit# dmesg |grep 'mount root' Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/std-root I'm using (long lines): gromit# ident /mnt/src/sys/geom/vinum/* | grep FreeBSD ident warning: no id keywords in /mnt/src/sys/geom/vinum/CVS $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum.c,v 1.16.2.3 2005/12/10 14:36:17 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum.h,v 1.9.2.1 2005/11/26 11:06:11 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_drive.c,v 1.18.2.4 2005/12/10 14:36:17 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_init.c,v 1.10.2.1 2005/10/09 04:36:44 delphij Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_list.c,v 1.3 2005/01/06 18:27:30 imp Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_move.c,v 1.2.2.1 2005/11/26 11:06:11 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_plex.c,v 1.15.2.1 2005/08/19 08:48:04 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_raid5.c,v 1.10 2004/11/26 11:59:51 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_raid5.h,v 1.6 2005/01/06 18:27:30 imp Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_rename.c,v 1.3.2.1 2005/11/26 11:06:11 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_rm.c,v 1.6.2.3 2005/11/26 11:06:11 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_share.c,v 1.4 2004/11/15 12:30:59 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_share.h,v 1.2 2004/11/15 12:30:59 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_state.c,v 1.7 2005/01/21 18:27:23 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_subr.c,v 1.13 2005/01/19 13:57:09 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_var.h,v 1.8.2.1 2005/08/19 08:48:04 le Exp $ $FreeBSD: src/sys/geom/vinum/geom_vinum_volume.c,v 1.8.2.2 2005/10/09 04:35:42 delphij Exp $ qvb -- pica ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mismatching vinum configurations
Hi, I had a power failure, and the on-disk configuration for vinum went bizarre. The logs read from disks are at http://biaix.org/pk/debug/ (log.$DEVICE files). The logs in da0 (barracuda) are the ones obviously wrong, I'm pretty sure the others are ok. Is this a 'virtually' dead drive? Can I force vinum to use the other's drive configuration? What's the less traumatic way to recover the data? Most of the data is mirrored over da0 da1, but I can't start any of the mirrored volumes (I get 'Drive is down') What should I do to access the mirrored volumes? tks -- pica ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
