What's on each FreeBSD 5.3 (i386) disc?
I want to install FreeBSD for the i386 architecture...there are 4 ISOs: 5.3-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso a) If I just burn the disc1 ISO image to a CD is that enough for a standard install? b) what's on disc 2 - ports? c) what is the 'bootonly' disc for? thanks in advance ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
fdisk/bsdlabel: cannot write to disk
Hello. I am rather new to FBSD5.3. I did a custom install leaving some room on my (ata) hard disks. Later I decided to create a separate /usr/obj partition. I started /stand/sysinstall and tried to create a new slice and a new partition in it. Sysinstall reported that it cannot write to the hard disk. Next I only tried to create a new partition inside an existing slice. The same again. I tried the same manually with fdisk/bsdlabel and the same happens. I tried it in single user mode and even booted FREESBIE. Always the same problem. I must be doing something simple very wrong. But what? What f*cking manual did I not read? Is there some secret geom rdonly switch I have to turn off? (BTW: securelevel is at -1) Thank you, Norbert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Assuming given space is >= 4 GB ...
I personally first set the sizes of swap (2*RAM if RAM <= 256 MB,
else about RAM + 256 MB), / (about 65% full), and /usr (about 50%
full).
I try to keep the sizes of / (100 - 135 MB) & /usr (500-600 MB) such
that there is room to expand w/ each, at least, minor release, w/o
wasting space. Purpose of the two partitions is to contain base
system specific files only. X does not come in this yet.
Next comes the partition which will contain at least /home and non
system files (/usr/local, /usr/X11R6, /usr/ports, /usr/src).
If i can squeeze in ~2 GB partition, then
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX:-/usr/obj} & $WRKDIRPREFIX---see comments in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk---go there (where ports & system compilation
occur).
Now, the remaining amount of space decides if /var goes on a separate
partition. Low space in /var will very likely make /tmp to be created
as a memory file system. If the amount of the remaining is too low (i
decreed it to be <465 MB during my last installation) for /var,
everything will go either on the partition containing /home or the
compilation partition.
Currently in ~22 GB slice & FreeBSD 5.3 installed, i have ...

Mind that above is my own brand of fuzzy logic to partitioning a slice
for personal use; besides the / & /usr partitions sizes, everything is
subject to major changes.
After doing quite a number of installations, i am still not satisfied
w/ the layout. I thought i was quite done w/ 4.x, but 5.x changed
that being bigger in size, especially /. And the partitioning
menu/screen, reached via sysinstall->Configure, sometimes does not
allow some of the values (causes "Partition too big" error message)
causing some partitions to be bigger/smaller than desired.
Oh well.

It's very fast, small and efficient. It's quite basic - you have to run a separate process for each torrent - but you can call it from something else to further customize it. It doesn't do priorities as such (not exactly - you can set max, min peers, rate, etc., for each torrent) or auto-resume, but this could be set fairly easily by writing it into a script. The best thing is that it just works, and as efficiently as possible. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Do you have the firewall installed, and if so have you opened up ports for
your connections.

Well, you have to kill apache to stop the httpd processes. The problem with apache is that the install creates its own /usr/local/www/data link. If you use apache, you can create something like ln -sf /.../data data. Then, you can upgrade apache. The install is very fast and I immediately unlink the link that the apache install created and link to my data directory. I have all of my web data on /usr2/data. The link to /usr2/data is gone for less than 30 seconds. Then, you need to stopapache and startapache. There has to be many choices on the order of doing things. You aren't running the updated apache until you do the down/up toggle. Your downtime will only be a couple of minutes and apache goes down gracefully. Toggling apache is less than 30 seconds on my slow system. I think my web server is down for less than 2 minutes from the time the upgrade destroys my data link until everything is back in order and is using the new version of apache. Network congestion can cause problems longer than that :). > > 2) What is the best method to upgrade ports without > any downtime for my live servers? There isn't any to my way of thinking. You have to stop the process and restart it. Some processes you can "kill -HUP" but ports are mostly different. You can reduce the down time to a small number but there will be a period when that process won't be available. One of the problem with live databases is that management thinks they need to be up 24x7. You need to be able to do maintenance and you may have to schedule downtime. For security reasons, you may not want to wait for a component failure to do the upgrades :). FWIW, everyone I have known that was involved with system work did their upgrades on weekends or between 2 am and 6 am. Hollidays are also handy times for upgrading. > > 3) Even after upgraded my all ports, 'portaudit' says > still problem with 'perl'.So what should I do? I don't have any suggestion. Perl 5.8.5 just showed up on the list. I already have cups-base, mozilla, and linux-tiff. I don't have any daemon processes that use perl.

The original question was whether perl is a required dependency to use the ports collection at all (no it isn't), not whether it is commonly used by applications in the ports collection. Thus, unless he is using a port that requires perl (the dependency will be registered, of course), it can be removed. Kris pgpAutL5k0STa.pgp Description: PGP signature

Of the 537 ports that are installed on my system, 318 of them require (have a dependency) perl-5.8.5 to run. What about others that require it to build. So, if Gert, who is running FSBD5.3 on an amd64 system and has been building ports and using portupgrade, removes perl-5.8.5 (does a forced removal) because he can't see that it's used all over the place and thinks of it as a security issue because of earlier perl versions. He's going to have a big problem on his hands the first time he tries to use portupgrade and finds a lot of decencies missing in his package database, and running pkgdb -F is going to fix them. I seem to also remember, at one time, having to do 'pkg_add -r cvsup' and perl-5.8.5 was installed with it. > Kris It seems to me that the perl-5.8.5 is installed when FreeBSD 5.3 installed.

Re: fragmentation

Is > this a bad thing? Is this unusual? Ah hah! I think this is simply a misunderstanding of what is meant by fragmentation - because we use it in many different ways. One way we use the term "fragment" is a "subatomic" unit of storage. To try to keep the internal bookkeeping reasonable, FFS and many other filesystems don't allocate storage in units of sectors - they use a larger aggregating factor. The larger the factor, the lower the storage and computational overhead in maintaining the filesystem. The problem with this approach is that it can be wasteful. If you have 8k or 16k allocation units, then even small files would have to use that amount of storage - if you have hundreds or thousands of small files, you can end up wasting a lot of space. The same thing happens with larger files. If you have a file of 128k plus one byte, that last byte would end up all by itself in an allocation unit You can consider these allocation units the atomic storage size. Some filesystems, such as the filesystem used by BSD (UFS1 or UFS2), also support "subatomic" parts for these left-overs and small files. We happen to call those units "fragments." When the system boots and reports the number of fragments - that is what it is talking about. It is nothing to be concerned about: there's nothing wrong, and running fsck wouldn't "fix" it. According to the manual page for newfs, the default block size (allocation unit or atomic storage unit) is 16k and the default fragment size is 2k. Another way we use the term fragmentation is when data which are logically contiguous end up being discontiguous on the disk. When you have a lot of file creation, modification, and deletion going on, this happens. Let's say that you have a file which consists of 3 allocation units. When you start with a fresh filesystem, that file would be created on three consecutive allocation units on the disk. Other files are then created, which may use the allocation units immediately following the three given to the first file. If the first file now grows, the next block, which will be logically sequential, will be physically separated on the disk. As some of the in-between files are modified or deleted, there may even be free blocks between the first three allocation units and the new one. This is also called fragmentation, and is another thing that may not be "wrong" with your filesystem (though it can impact very high-performance applications due to increased seek activity on the disk, and breaking up sequential read or prefetch sequences on intelligent storage subsystems), and nothing that fsck would fix, either. Now, on top of that, the UFS family of filesystems were built to intentionally do a certain type of "fragmentation" to deal with slower disk drive electronics and controllers. This is sometimes called interleave and causes the system to intentionally skip over blocks between what are logically contiguous blocks to allow the CPU and drive electronics some "breathing room" before having to be ready (or have asked for) the next block. Imagine a spinning disk. The data are passing beneath the head: block 1, block 2, block 3, etc. Some program in your system reads a block from a file, and lets say it is block 2. The disk and controller electronics watch the sectors going by, sort of like watching for your baggage at the airport - when the right one comes along, they read it. Before your program can ask for the next block, the disk has already rotated so that are are in the midst of that block somewhere. The controller has to wait for the disk to come all the way around again before it can be read. By allocating the next logical block of data from the file to be in block 4 instead of block 3, we may be able to avoid having to wait for that disk to spin all the way around again. A lot of work has gone into designing the UFS filesystems to avoid unwanted fragmentation, and to support extent-based growth for large files. That's probably the reason that there is no standard "defrag" utility like there is for most Windows filesystems. You may be thinking of "fragmented" as in broken, or fractured. That is not what is meant here. It doesn't mean that anything is wrong with your filesystem, just some statistics on how much those "sub atomic" allocation units are being used. Your filesystem is clean, is using some fragments, and may or may not be fragmented (data scattered in logically discontigous ways). -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

PostgreSQL TCP sockets access?
Hey;
I have a fairly fresh installation of FreeBSD 5.3 running PostGreSQL. I
enabled TCP socket connection in the
/usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file ("tcpip_socket = true"), and
allowed all hosts in pg_hba.conf ("host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
trust")... but I still get a "connection refused" error when trying to
access the server.
Any help?

Exactly. For people who are running a database, or a web server, or developing code, some or all of this projects may warrant their own file systems. There may be other things you want to do, too. I actually like to put /usr/src and /usr/obj in filesystems different from /usr, but that's just me. In fact, I like to keep /usr static to the greatest degress possible. So, if it was my system, I'd set it up with those additional filesystems. In your specific case, maybe you want a separate /pictures filesystem, or a filesystem that you would mount as /home/your-login/pictures or something like that. Or - maybe you don't even want to use it all. Leave it "uncarved" for future filesystems as yet unthoughtof. -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Help Please ... Question on cvsupit
Hello, I have been trying for the last few days to figure out how to update the ports collection via the cvsup process. I have two different books on FreeBSD version 5.x and both say to use this "cvsupit" program but I cannot find it any where. I have FreeBSD release 5.3 install and created a user account that I can "su" in. I would like to be able to update the ports collections and FreeBSD source so that I can custom compile various ports and FreeBSD. Does any one have any idea where the "cvsupit" program is. I have tired installing "cvsup-16.1h" and "cvsup-without-gui" via both pkg_add, sysinstall, and the ports make/install process but I still cannot find this "cvsupit" program. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am still learning FreeBSD so I probably missing something simple some where?

You could check the files that name start with a 'q' somewhere toward rge top of the file it will tell you why that specific email is on hold.

Hmm. That directory contains only files which represent e-mail messages in flight. This may not be good. >From the information that I have, it is difficult to be precisely certain, but I have seen this behavior when there are e-mail messages that are too large to be delivered. So you have really big files that are taking up a bunch of room in /var - and so there is no room in /var/mail to deliver them. Sendmail keeps trying, but there's no place for them to go.

Well, yeah, but that's because you installed perl 5.8.5 or something that depends on it. If you use 4.x most such ports will be happy with the base system version of perl, and if you don't use 4.x then ports that don't require perl won't install it.

# Gert Cuykens:

Nutshell version: fork(2) produces a new process, which may consist
of multiple threads.
fork(2)ing used to be slightly more expensive, as it creates a new
process with an accompanying process control block (PCB) and
allocates its own memory pages. Threads just use their processes'
data segment and thus share pages. Which basically means one thread
can trash another's data, whereas related processes can not.
OTOH the time slices handed out by the process scheduler
("Hey! PID 384! Your turn for the next 20ms!") are further subdivided
by the thread scheduler. Since both thread scheduler and context
switches between threads produce some overhead (storing local data,
instruction pointer and such) threads used to reduce the real CPU
time a process could actually use for its algorithms.
I said "used to", because this is basically the theory introductory
textbooks on OS design will tell you.[1] There's plenty of ways to
adapt costs, i.e. by making the process scheduler hand out larger
slices to multithreaded processes or employing copy-on-write, which
means that the parent processes' pages are just mapped into the child
process, until the child actually writes to them. Traditionally,
Unices had pretty cheap processes but rather expensive threads.
(Windows, for example, had it the other way around).
I didn't delve into this for quite a while, so sadly, I can't give
you any details on the current state of things.

which bittorrent client
Hello, I would like some advice on which Bittorrent client to use. I really like Azureus, but I always get OutOfMemoryException's and it takes up like 300 MB of memory sometimes. Is there a more lightweight client that has the main features of Azureus (priorities, auto-resuming)? What does everyone on this list use?

I asked the question the other day, whether to do a standard install or a custom install. This was brought about because I read several sources, including G. Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" I will be doing a Custom install. My question however, is looking at page 70, in "The Complete FreeBSD" and I quote "Use the rest of the space on disk for a /home file system. as long as it's possible to back it up on a single tape. Otherwise make multiple file systems." My question is do I make multiple /home directories.? I have a SATA 80GB hard drive, so as Greg L. suggests 4GB to 6GB for the root file system. 1GB to 2GB for the Swap file. The rest of the disk for the /home file. That would leave me with a /home of approx. 72GB. I would appreciate any thoughts as to how I should do this.

AMD64 Linux emulation weirdness
Hi, Not sure if anyone can help or provide some logic to my problems I'm seeing, but I figured I would give it a shot. I recently purchased a dual AMD Opteron 64bit machine with FreeBSD 5.2.1 pre installed. I had two streaming servers which I wanted to run off of it and since neithr had 64bit versions, I decided to use the Linux based versions and simply use the Linux emulation base 7. I was able to get Helix Universal Server (by realnetworks) installed along with the Flash Communications Server. Both at the time functioned properly (i believe). I then upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 and noticed that I was unable to connect to both server's "administrator interface" via web browser. I do not recall if the issue was as a result of upgrading to 5.3 or if it just never worked. I then upgraded to 5.3-stable and upp'd the linux base to 8. Same problems still. I was able to see the connection via tcpdump and netstat but was not recieving a responce from the server via web browser that it had connected. I have both servers currently working perfectly on a 4.9 machine using the same configuration. I am guessing this is either a problem with the emulation or with Freebsd 5.3. Do you have any suggestions on what I should try before I have to revert back to FreeBSD 4.10 with 32bit? any help would be appreciated. thanks -anthony _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

OK, but this only applies to secury and well-managed systems. Early versions of Windows did nothing to restrict the use of ports below 1024, and any hacker out there with a Linux or FreeBSD box can start any service he likes to listen on a port below 1024, or have an application run to open a connection on a port below 1024. I'm sure the writer was aware of this - I just want to make sure that newcomers and lurkers don't put too much confidence in the port number of a connection. -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

IPsec issue
I secure my wireless network with IPsec. The rules are generated with a
perl script (included below) with a rule for each ip in the range
192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254 (.2 is my AP). The key exchange is handled by
racoon and works without issue. I have "allow ip from any to any" as my
first ipfw rule when on this network. My firewall allows DHCP and ISAKMP
traffic unencrypted and allows only esp traffic otherwise.
My problem is that certain websites tend not to work. I can look them up
and make a connection, but I get no incoming packets, although on
occasion they do work. Google is one such site. Also, it seems that
images don't always load for any site. Neither firewall is blocking the
traffic. When I make an OpenVPN link over the connection (it's easier
than disabling IPsec, since it's already setup for when I'm away from
home), the same websites work fine.
Any ideas? It just struck me that maybe parallel connections to the same
address are at root of the issue, but I have no real evidence.
What more information would be useful?
Thanks.
Perl script that generates /etc/ipsec.conf:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $fw = "192.168.1.1";
print "flush;","\n",
"spdflush;","\n";
foreach (3..254) {
my $ip = "192.168.1.$_";
print "\n";
print
"spdadd $ip/32 0.0.0.0/0 any -P out ipsec
esp/tunnel/$ip-$fw/require;\n",
"spdadd 0.0.0.0/0 $ip/32 any -P in ipsec

Open source or *BSD/Linux compatible mapping software?
Hey, folks - my one remaining dependency on the Microsoft world seems to be Streets and Trips. Even though the product has gone down hill dramatically in the last three years, I still love it and use it daily. One of the big differentiators for me is that it doesn't require an Internet connection to function - anywhere I have my laptop, I can do mapping and even fix my position with my GPS. Is there anything like this available for us FreeBSD users? It doesn't have to be open source - I pay for S&T and I'm happy to pay for its equivalent.

Re: let me just throw this out there..
ok, now open some tail -f 's and stay logged in monitoring them continuously, also let a packet capture program like tcpdum run, from that box, and from some other box on your network as well, to see if anything unusual comes through... also check if that reboot happens again, and if so, if it happens at exactly the same time again... And then set all daemons, that didnt startup with the machine to debug mode logging, also look if they have existing startup files (...sh in rc.d, maybe enabled through rc.conf...) just general error searching routines...

Re: sshd port number ?

At the OS level (not the SSHD config for example), where can one configure what proc is assigned to what privileged port? I just did some quick searching, but does this documentation exist on the FreeBSD site?
