Problem with slice.
Hello, We are building a new webserver for our customers. We'll be hosting alot of domains with this webserver, using apache with mod ssl, mod frontpage, and pgp. We've been setting it up for a couple months now (a back burner project). But we've run into a problem. One of the slices has stopped responding to us a couple times. The first time it happened it was completely spontaneous. A reboot into single usermod and newfs the slice seemed to have fixed it. The second time it happened we umounted the slice and remounted it on a different name. That time I tried shutting of softupdates 'tunefs -n disable'. That seemed to have worked, we emailed the company that we bought the server from and asked for any input. They recommended disabling tagged queueing on our RAID card. But it turned out we couldn't do that using camcontrol, we would have to do it from the Option ROM Bootup screen. I have since then reenabled softupdates and it seems to be working, I've even moved the slice around without any problems. We are just concerned that after we put this server into production we're going to run into even more problems with this slice. Onces it's in production it will be a very active slice. I was wondering if anyone had any similar problems and/or any known fixes.

Install problem -- can't mount disk
Hi! This is my first experience with FreeBSD, although I've been running Linux for seven years now, so I have some clue about UNIX-like OSes. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7 on an old Pentium 90, and when the install is completed and the machine reboots, it can't find the root partition. I've installed Linux on this box with no problems, so the hardware is basically OK. The only drive in the machine is a 6 Gb Seagate IDE. The BIOS is so old that it doesn't identify the disk size correctly, but I don't know if that matters. (It doesn't to Linux.) I'm doing the install with floppy images since this box is too old to boot a CD. The first thing that seems weird to me is in the FDISK Partition Editor -- here's what it tells me: Disk name:ad0FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 784 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 12594960 sectors (6149MB) Offset Size(ST) EndName PType Desc Subtype Flags 06362 - 6 unused0 63 12257532 12257594 ad0s1 3freebsd 165 C 12257595337365 12594959 ad0s2 1 ext2fs 131 For LBA addressing, the geometry looks right. The geometry shows up the same whether or not I have LBA enabled in the BIOS. (The ad0s2 partition is actually a minefield of bad blocks. It needs its own partition only to ensure that part of the disk isn't used. It's an ext2 partition because this used to be a Linux box, and I haven't messed with it.) No matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of the unused cylinder at the beginning of the disk. I try deleting the freebsd partition and creating a new partition starting at offset 0, but it always inserts that empty cylinder. That's just weird. Neither Linux nor DOS fdisk show this. When I use Linux fdisk to create a FreeBSD partition, the FreeBSD partition editor will still show that there's an empty first cylinder. The rest of the install seems to go OK: I've tried both BootMgr and Standard for the MBR; they both boot, but neither can find the root partition. I've taken all the defaults - Auto in the Disklabel Editor, Minimal install from CD image ... that seems to go smoothly. When I get to the prompt Visit the general configuration menu for a chance to set any last options?, I take the default No, then exit install. The machine boots, but when it gets to the disk mounting part, here's what I see: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a no such device 'ad' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Then I get taken to the mountroot prompt. What's going on here? FDISK and the Disklabel Editor both see my hard disk fine, and ad0s1a is correct name for my root partition. I've tried at least a half dozen times now, with different variations on BIOS settings and using Linux and DOS fdisk programs to prep the disk. I keep running into the same problem. Any help would be most appreciated. -- | Forrest Cahoon | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Look for [Ss][Ii] and etc. According to the comments in /etc/rc.firewall firewall_type can also be a file name. Anyway, it might be better to start with one of the example rule sets in /etc/rc.firewall and adapt them to your needs. Good idea. Also don't forget to check the handbook and FAQ for relevent information and have a good Google around because I remember people putting information onto websites about locking down FreeBSD boxes. Also remember it is important to read understand and act on all FreeBSD security advisories, so make sure you are on the security-adivsories mailing list. It's probably best to install the most recent -release and then track the relevent security update branch to keep yourself secure. Read the handbook for more info. You also might want to read http://www.cert.org as I find that a good site for more general security information. Good luck, Andrew.

16 character names is and has been the limit. 8 characters is playing it safe, where there may be some programs that won't accept more than that but I believe it is only the older programs that you will find a problem with that.

I guess the, no such device 'ad', error is pretty self-explanatory it can't find your IDE controller. Well, yeah. But why the heck would this be? Am I not booting the same kernel that's on kern.flp? When I booted from the floppy for the install, it certainly sees the hard disk. Fdisk sees it; the partitions get formatted; a bunch of stuff gets copied from CD onto it. So why can't it see the hard disk partitions when it's booting from ... hey waitaminnit ... the hard disk? The mind boggles. Andrew.

Re: authentication server with group permissions?
If you internal LAN is relatively secure you probably want to use NIS to give out the maps for master.passwd and group. To be extra safe, I would setup the maps so that all the passwords in the NIS master.passwd are '*' and use pam_smb or some such critter against your Samba PDC if you need UNIX login capabilities. (This presumes you are using windows workstations). You an also use other pam_* modules for the actual authentication, allowing you to keep the NIS passwords as '*'s so that if someone ever sniffs your lan traffic, etc, the NIS maps don't contain passwords. David Loszewski wrote: basically what we are trying to accomplish is that I'm in an office with may employees. Say we have 5 different servers, and I have files on the servers that I want all the employees in a specific group have read access to those files, or write access depending on permissions for that group. So when an employee logs into a server I want it to go to some internal authentication server and tell the server that it's k for that person to access that file. I want to do this without copying to passwd file to each server. Dave wolf wrote: could you be more specific? sharing files via NFS? transparent logging to other servers? other? What you are trying to do in particular affects how you accomplish your goal.

Re: Anybody notice ping -t switch doesn't appear to do what its supposed to in 4.6.2Rp2 ?
Expected behavior. read this: -i wait Wait wait seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet. The wait time may be fractional, but only the super-user may specify values less then 1 second. This option is incompatible with the -f option. Therefore ping -c 4 yahoo.com and ping -t 4 yahoo.com, (as an example) would produce the same result.

Stray IRQ 7 problem.
I know I've seen this problem with IRQ 7 addressed before and it seems like the problem was IRQ 7 being in the kernel. I don't have anything in my kernel using IRQ 7 but yet I keep getting Stray IRQ 7 errors and now today I got /kernel: too many stray irq 7's; not logging any more. The only thing I could find on the net was http://www.faqchest.com/linux/freeBSD/fbsd-99/fbsd-9907/fbsd-990760/fbsd99072815_23213.html; I'm running 4.7-PRERELEASE on a Dell Deminsion L1000R. I've been running FreeBSD on this box since 4.3-Stable and I didn't start seeing these errors until after I upgraded from 4.5-Stable. Sorry if this issue has already been addressed.

My favorite firewall is ipfilter. Mainly because it doesn't run in userland like ipfw does. hrmm, this is nonsense. ipfw sits in kernel of course. what runs in userland is its companion, natd(8). if you don't nat you don't need to care. if you don't nat on a very slow/loaded box, that is. as has been said on the list, the fact that natd is a userland process has its ups as well: a bug in natd won't panic your gateway (i gathered from the lists that there used to be a bug in ipnat that caused just that). n.b.: i'm an ipfilter user. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.

Vinum - A Way to Create Without Losing Data?
From what I've read, it appears that if I create a concatenated volume using vinum or ccd, I will destroy whatever data I already have on the disks. Is this correct? Is there anyway to do it without destroying the data? I have one 80G archive drive and have filled it. I added another and would like to have both drives seen by the system as one 160G drive.

Is this correct? Sometimes. Is there anyway to do it without destroying the data? Yes. If you have 265 sectors free space before a partition, you can start a Vinum drive at that point, overlapping the partition, and define the space taken by that partition to be a single subdisk. I have one 80G archive drive and have filled it. I added another and would like to have both drives seen by the system as one 160G drive. You can't do that. UFS won't let you coalesce two file systems. Neither will any other file system that I can think of. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
