Re: Which DHCP client
OK, I've decided to import the ISC client. I am not pleased with this choice, but I believe the FreeBSD community in general seems to prefer this choice. Swaying arguments: 1. OpenBSD uses the ISC client and keep a careful eye on it for software engineering issues. (which is really all that buffov problems are) 2. Mike Smith's emails (priv and public) show that the ISC client offers us more options in configuring a system than the WIDE client. Issues include sysinstall bootstrapping support and /etc/rc* hooks. For the record, version 2 of the ISC client *DOES* in fact require an /etc/dhclient.conf file: # dhclient fxp0 Can't open /etc/dhclient.conf: No such file or directory exiting. this is stupid and I have a mind to change it to: Can't open /etc/dhclient.conf: using built-in defaults continuing. Also, /etc/dhclient-script *IS* required: # dhclient fxp0 /tmp/dcsFoU405: /etc/dhclient-script: not found /tmp/dcsWOk405: /etc/dhclient-script: not found fxp0: not found exiting. NOTE that unlike the WIDE client, the ISC client defaults to overwriting your /etc/resolv.conf file. In my case, an action that pisses me off because I now have to write a messy /etc/dhclient.conf file to stop this nonsence. -- -- David(obr...@nuxi.com -or- obr...@freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Syncing Disks
Hello, We have a problem with some 3.0 release boxes. One just went down two days ago. When it came back up, it hangs on syncing disks. I had a tech (it's in a remote location) boot into single user mode, and fsck the disks. This went fine, but when he exited from single user mode, it again hangs on syncing disks. This is a brand new machine, worked great for about 6 weeks - and this is the second machine to do this since the first of the year. The other time I had the hard drive shipped to me and I rebuilt it. I would like to avoid that this time. Anyway, here are the machines specs in case that would be of any use: Abit BX6 MB with PII 400 (not overclocked). Bus is at 100MHz. 384mb ecc sdram adaptec 2940U2W scsi ibm 9g u2 scsi drive. intel etherexpress pro 100+ generic agp video card (stb I think). No cdrom's attached. It's running freebsd 3.0 release, apache 1.3.3, moderately loaded system average of 400 processes running at any one time. Heavy use of perl and mysql. The load averages weren't bad though, usually less than 0.5, and on average it was 80-90% idle (from top). The other machine that went was identical except the drive/controller were just wide scsi.

hang going multiuser
I built and installed world+kernel last evening after the ibcs2 fix was committed to unbreak the build. When running either the new kernel or the pre-branch kernel from last month, I hang up on the way to multi-user. I can boot single-user, get my ccd drive going, get the network going, run cvs with an nfs-mounted repo, etc, etc. I can escape to the debugger; ps tells me I have processes 0-5 plus two sh's. init is in the 'wait' state. Is there a command to show which process is currently executing? Maybe it is telling me that and I can't see it. The trace (same for both kernels) shows: vm_map_madvise madvise syscall(2f,2f,80a1000,1000,efb94ba8) Xint0x80_syscall I also updated my /etc files, but even so the system shouldn't hang like this if I missed something.

After that one should double check, if really every disk device has been recreated. With the new slice scheme in newer FreeBSD versions you have to create them explicitely: sh MAKEDEV sd0s1a or da0s1a in even newer FreeBSD versions (=3.0) Make sure, that raw devices (rsd0s1a) are created as well. But as Ladavac wrote, you should know, where you typed this command... If you clobbered /etc, then you have to do a lot of more things. Best would then be to make a boot and fixit disk for your system and restore things from backup if you have a backup ...
