Re: gmirror and partitioning
Hi Laszlo, No bugs; I think this is normal. Both the BIOS and the OS are only going to see the blocks the hard drive thinks are useable. Bad sector information is also stored on the disk, and only the OS can interpret this information. Or is it possible that the manufacturer produces the hard drive first, then measures its real capacity and finally burns this info into a flash memory on the drive? :-) Even though the drive geometry is "fictitious", most people still recommend defining your slices to begin and end on cylinder boundaries. I assume this makes accessing blocks in the slice a few nanoseconds faster, but I'm actually not sure. Perhaps someone on the list knows more detail. In any case, if you do this for as10s1 gmirror will replicate this property to the other disk. You'll also most likely have a few blocks left over. As for units of MB, I'm not sure. Could be rounding. Can we assume your gmirror is now working? Oh yes, it is working. I do not care about that one lost MB. The lesson of the story: I'll leave 10MB empty space at the end of the disk whenever I need to use gmirror. Thank you for your help! :-) Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Take a look at using "script" to log the output (man 1 script). It is started before running the process you want to log: script /path/to/logfile Then the process (portupgrade in this case) is ran to completion. Just type "exit" after it is finished to end the "script" logging. > Is it possible to determine which ports weren't upgraded so I can deal > with them manually or is it possible to show the install date for all > ports?

Another way to determine which ports need updated that has not been mentioned is: portversion -vL= Instead of looking at timestamps for the last install/update it would probably be easier to just run "portupgrade -a" using "script" to recreate a log. Doing this will provide you with logs of any failures as well as a list of any failures. Its the information in those logs that will be most helpful in resolving problems and is also the information others would need to see if you needed additional help.

That worked. The sad thing is that I read somewhere (probably on this list) that *forcing* 100 would _increase_ performance because there wouldn't be any auto negotiating. I added it to my rc.conf, but later I decided that it didn't help any so I ran ifconfig fxp0 media autoselect, but failed to change my rc.conf back!

I know no solution to this... just a few random thoughts:
If you didn't have subdirs and hard links, you could cache the
results of slow-du somewhere, and look up the results there,
updating the cache only if directory m_time(s) changed. Let
du-cache := { (dir-ino, (du-value, timestamp)) |
dir-ino is directory inode number [key of cache],
du-value is disk usage of dir-ino,
taken at timestamp }
But with subdirs, you need to take care of recursion; and that
makes bookkeeping the du-cache somewhat more complicated.
With hard-links, esp. across directories; you need an additional
hard-link cache; and AFAICS there's no way to have that automatically
updated, when a hard-linked file changes size elsewhere...
...unless you decide to add some hooks to VFS(9). But if you go this
route, you could as well hook up the entire fast-du bookkeeping at
VFS level, but that's most likely a major undertaking (if you
do, remember quota(1)).
If you don't need absolute accuracy 100% of the time, you could
build a du-cache once every few days or so, just like locate(1)'s
database; and use directory timestamps to incrementally update it,
so it would only take a lot of time the first time to build, and
hopefully relatively less time subsequently (depending on usage
pattern, of course).

Re: undo geom mirror
Hi Craig (sending this to the list too, for the general interest of whomever): I tried this out on a test machine: 1) rolled back fstab to original (non-mirror version) 2) commented out automatic load of mirror in /boot/loader.conf 3) rebooted This worked fine, however, going back to the mirrored version of fstab would even allow me to boot the machine until I deactivated the mirrored drive, and reattached it (which forced it to rebuild). Not too difficult to do though. Now, I just need to know whether it is wise to ensure that no writing or changes to the disk are occurring when the drives are syncing for the first time. Any ideas?

Ignorant user overfilled /usr; strange errors followed. Fixed with fsck -y, but what exactly happened?
Dear FreeBSD, While attempting to follow filesystem activity (and not realising the effect it would have) I left a ktrace running (something like ktrace -di -p0 -ti - seen on a forum while searching for a Filemon equivalent for FreeBSD). I had launched it while in /usr/ports, and forgot about it. Doh! Some time later strange things started happening, so I exited from X/KDE, and found a whole sequence of 'filesystem is full' errors on the console. df said that /usr was at 108%. I found the offending ktrace.out file in /usr/ports (~25GB), killed ktrace, deleted the file, and restarted X/KDE. It took about 5 minutes to show the desktop, following a number of console messages like 'xauth: creating new authority file...' So, I Googled around and found a few hints relating to permissions in ~, but that didn't seem to be the problem; anyway I moved my ~/.kde/ to ~/.kde_20060515 in an attempt to 'reset' kde's startup behaviour, but X/KDE still took ages to start the GUI, following similar messages. Even once X/KDE had started, some applications took a *long* time to start (eg Firefox - 3/4 minutes to show blank home page). However, I could still r/w access all files within /usr. Following the advice found on various fora, I then ran fsck -y in single-user mode, with the following output: ** Last mounted on /usr ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? yes 401256 files, 4135860 used, 13715938 free (126762 frags, 169-647 blocks, 0,8% fragmentation) Afterwards, X/KDE started with its usual alacrity, so I restored my ~/.kde folder, and now everything seems to be exactly as before. My questions are these: - How could /usr have been at 108%, given that 100% is the logical maximum? - Is there any risk that a physically adjacent filesystem be damaged? - How can it be that, immediately following the deletion of /usr/ports/ktrace.out, I still had errors *at all* (prior to the fsck)? - Given its recent history, can I now trust the integrity of /usr? My interpretation of the situation is that following the deletion of /usr/ports/ktrace.out, KDE, on startup, tried to write a file to a filesystem that apparently (although incorrectly) had no free blocks. fsck fixed the problem of the reported free blocks. However, if this interpretation is correct, it shouldn't have worked *at all* until fsck had repaired the filesystem. That is, KDE should not have started at all. So, prior to the fsck -y in single-user mode, what was happening in the five minutes it took KDE to start? Sorry if this whole description was long and convoluted, but I'd really appreciate a few hints as to what went on. With thanks in advance for any illumination, boink PS.

I just found the connection down because my modem lost sync, and the
client didn't return. I was hoping that it would return so that I
could script the client such that it would always retry, via supervise
or runit.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Find the Date a Port Was Installed
I have recently upgraded to RELENG_6_1 and have attempted a portupgrade on all ports since the upgrade so that new libs, etc. are being used with the installed ports. When it *finally* finished I saw that 9 ports were not upgraded due to various reasons but because I did this from the command line I couldn't scroll up to see what 9 ports failed. Is it possible to determine which ports weren't upgraded so I can deal with them manually or is it possible to show the install date for all ports? If I can pull the install date for all of them I can see which ones are older than today and deal with them individually. I looked at the man page for pkg_info to see if there was anything I could do there to list the installed ports along with an installation date but I didn't see anything. Any ideas?

"make -j N" has never been a supported option for ports. It is supported for buildworld and buildkernel, but if something goes wrong with the build then the first thing you should do is try the build again without a -j flag.

I think I would move the

FreeBSD is a complete operating system that had its birthing in the BSD (Berkley) UNIX in the wee early days of UNIX. Check on the http://www.freebsd.org/ web site for more information. Second, FreeBSD is a complete OS and as such can talk to modems and nic cards, and most other peripherals. The information is on the FreeBSD web site. FreeBSD is a superior free UNIX.

To further elaborate: It's kind of like building a ship in a bottle. There is no shell access to the box.

Please post a complete, compilable program or at least details about
where we can find the full source. This way it's impossible to find out
where the bug is and why the segmentation fault happens.

The fclose() function does not handle NULL arguments; they will result in
a segmentation violation. This is intentional - it makes it easier to
make sure programs written under FreeBSD are bug free. This behaviour is
an implementation detail, and programs should not rely upon it.
Good catch.

That's funny, it doesn't even compile on my freebsd:
trisha% cat test.c
/* Check if we must stop */
if(tf_stat_file != NULL)
{
tf_stat = fopen(tf_stat_file, "r");
if (tf_stat != NULL)
{
/* Get state */
stat_state=fgetc(tf_stat);
/* Torrentflux asked to shutdown the torrent */
if (stat_state == '0')
{
mustDie = 1;
}
}
fclose(tf_stat);
}
trisha% cc test.c
test.c:2: error: syntax error before "if"
AFAIK, the code should be put inside a function at least to compile ;-)
IOW, if you expect usable help please supply some context.
I agree..

FreeBSD is a complete operating system that had its birthing in the BSD (Berkley) UNIX in the wee early days of UNIX. Check on the http://www.freebsd.org/ web site for more information. Second, FreeBSD is a complete OS and as such can talk to modems and nic cards, and most other peripherals. The information is on the FreeBSD web site. FreeBSD is a superior free UNIX. It takes a little extra time to learn, but is worth the effort.

The real question is why do you have binaries depending on old system libraries. The answer is probably that you upgraded from a previous branch of FreeBSD (e.g. 4.x -> 6.x) but neglected to rebuild all your installed ports, so they now have an inconsistent mix of old and new libraries. portupgrade -af or similar to repair the damage.

Re: vinum concat
There might be some helpful nuggets in there, but I'm looking to basically combine the storage of multiple disks, like RAID-0, except I want my second drive written to only when my first drive has been filled. I understand this can be done via vinum concatenation. I'm looking for general feedback on whether anybody has tried this setup, how it worked, and what was useful to know to get started.

Re: [freebsd-questions] Questions about monitoring Dell servers
Jason Lixfeld wrote: Well, I managed to sort it out. The grey area was that the Dell BMC just needed an IP, username and password configured on it. I was under the mistaken impression that the OpenIPMI needed to be installed to speak the BMC, but ipmitools does that just fine. Between the BMC and megarc for the raid status, I have everything I need! Well, with the exception of SNMP traps -- still haven't figured out how to set the trap host and community, but if worst comes to worst, I can use used net-snmp and use the exec options in snmpd.conf. Where does this IP address present itself? On an SC1425 we have here, I can set an IP etc in the BMC BIOS, but it lists a MAC address there that isn't the same as either of the GigE interfaces on the mobo. Is it overlaid in some strange way, or do I need some sort of daughterboard? I'd like to get this going for all our Dells if I can.

Re: moving /usr
How would you mount your old drive once booted into your new RAIDed system? Would mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt work even when you are booted off of your gm0 RAIDed drive?

Even though the drive geometry is "fictitious", most people still recommend defining your slices to begin and end on cylinder boundaries. I assume this makes accessing blocks in the slice a few nanoseconds faster, but I'm actually not sure. Perhaps someone on the list knows more detail. In any case, if you do this for as10s1 gmirror will replicate this property to the other disk. You'll also most likely have a few blocks left over. As for units of MB, I'm not sure. Could be rounding. Can we assume your gmirror is now working?

If buildworld fails at a different place every time then you probably have bad memory*.
