remote backup suggestions?
Can anyone suggest a reliable strategy for remote backup of a freebsd VPS (a single virtual server under VPS)? I would like to backup a remote server onto my Macintosh (could be MacOS X) client's hard disk. It would be nice to have incremental capability to reduce backup time. A synchronize approach might be even nicer. Note that the users/groups oHEIG local would not match the server.

Depending on the hardware, you may need to shut down. 4. If you haven't rebooted machine B, run camcontrol rescan on the SCSI bus to discover the new disks. 5. Run 'vinum start'. are you saying that at this point vinum will scan all disk busses and decide for itself that the raid exists, and reconstruct /dev/vinum? Yes. i know you've said in a previous post that /dev/vinum isn't important, but since it contains mount points etc, i assume it's reasonably vital... anyway, our experience when we complete the steps above was that /dev/vinum/raid1 etc. didn't exist, so we couldn't mount the volume, which is why we went on to perform the other steps i described. It looks like you got confused at some point. It's unlikely that you can still reconstruct what happened. yes, i think you are right. however, it is clear to me now why we got confused... since we didn't understand the relationship between vinum and it's devices, we didn't expect it could work until the devices existed, so went down the route of trying to create them before attempting a vinum start... since this unusual relationship isn't explained in the docco, it might be worth adding a paragraph on /dev/vinum and/or a one-liner in the 'start' section to say the devices will be created if they don't exist already... anyway, thatnks for your help in resolving this. it has been most useful. cheers, Adam -- Adam Laurie Tel: +44 (20) 8742 0755 A.L.

infrared support
Hi! My problem is derived from the situation with infrared, being unsupported within the kernel. I tried to override the case using ircomm-1.00, found in ports. Btw, the goal is to set up inet connection via modem, embedded into cellular phone with GPRS access. I was lucky to tune everything, but the sad point of speed: it is almost impossible to rise it up to 115200. While the connections ups in 100% of cases at 9600 (settings for ppp|pppd and ircomm), it downs to 3% of total attempts at 115200. The surprise is that it nevertheless possible to connect at high speed! Ircomm developer replied with no ideas as to my problem. May be it's the right time to return to infrared support? May be port from NetBSD, which, as know, supports it at kernel level? I'll appreciate any hint or suggestion...

That's the one I was referring to, yes, but you didn't post your whole config (please do *NOT* post it; I can't spend the time on going over it line by line). Tuning is a skill; it can be plotted out as a cookbook recipe, but it takes a lot of work to do that, and no one has volunteered. Basically, to write out a cookbook, you have to know where every byte of memory is going in the kernel, and what tunables impact each other, and how they are related. Once you know that, you could easily write a program to kick out a configuration file for various usages, or even modify the code to auto-tune itself (everything by KVA space, which impacts the base address that the kernel gets linked to... unless you compile the entire kernel PIC, which I do not recommend). But knowing the information is hard. I know it for 4.3 and 4.4. You see, there cannot be any much possibility to make experiments with this server, so I very much relay on your advices, thank you again. If you are having system freeses at random, and you want to fix them instead of living with them, some experimentation is going to be inevitable. I don't know enough about your installation to be able to give you a kernel config file to use that will magically fix all your current issues for you, and prevent future issues from coming up. That's going to have to be up to you. If you follow the 1.5 rule, then you will have 6G of swap when you have 4G of physical RAM, and will definitely need to go for 3G of KVA space. No, the swap is very slightly used on this server, and the total swap size is 2G. It doesn't matter. The amount of swap the kernel allocates page tables for is based on the amount of physical RAM in the machine. You pay for the page tables whether you use them or not, for swap, for the kernel, and for any memory which you permit to be allocated at interrupt time, plus any allocations that occur after you are up and running, until you run out of physical RAM. This is one of those things you just have to know about how the kernel uses virtual memory, if you are going to be a skilled kernel tuner. As a rule, swap should be at least physical memory size + 64K on any system that you need to be able to get a system dump from, since it needs to dump physical RAM.

Re: -O3 optimization?
Thus spake Evren Yurtesen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wonder if a source is compiled with -O3 without any problems, might there be any problems in binaries which might create crashes? You're welcome to try it out, but it isn't supported. GCC has a few obscure misfeatures at -O3.

At one point, the kernel's TCP checksum code had some difficult-to-solve problems with -O3, and I'm not sure whether that has been fixed. Despite all of that, I built world and kernel with -O2 a while ago and noticed no problems whatsoever.

Is there big performance improvement between -O and -O2 ? or from not using any optimizations to -O or -O2? Lets say if I am compiling KDE,XFree86.

The higher optimization levels usually increase performance marginally, but they're still just microoptimizing. Maybe if you were running some compute-intensive scientific software you would see more of a difference.

How about just setting a cron job to run some reasonable period prior
to newsyslog being run?
It's incorrect way to do things, because some entries could be added to
syslog _after_ the command is run, but _before_ newsyslog. Instead you
should call some script via cron with crontab entry like this:
# rotate log files every hour, if necessary
0 * * * * root /usr/bin/lock_script.sh
And the script must contain something like:
#!/bin/sh
for $STR in `cat /etc/newsyslog.conf |grep -v '^[:space:]*#.*$'|cut
-f1`; do
lockf ${STR} newsyslog.sh ${STR}
done
This is _advisory_ lock, not _mandatory_. Syslogd could write to the
file happily while `your_command' is running or/and between `your_command'
and newsyslog.
Maybe this is a little closer (not tested):
kill -17 syslogd pid; my_scrypt; newsyslog; kill -19 syslogd pid
Ie.: STOP syslogd; run the script(s); rotate logs; CONTinue syslogd.
But if there is to much logging between the two signals, then messages could
be lost.

The newsyslog.sh should contain:
#!/bin/sh

(Referencing an unmapped page that the system doesn't know about generally causes the program or OS to crash. You've probably seen these as ``segmentation faults'' and ``page fault in kernel mode'' panics.) To simplify things, the kernel is mapped into a fixed location in every address space. The KVA parameter controls how big a chunk the kernel gets; the remainder goes to user processes. However, only the part of the KVA reservation that the kernel actually uses is wired to physical memory. For example, if you have a 1 GB KVA reservation and the kernel allocates only 20 MB of RAM, then only 20 MB of RAM is needed (plus some epsilon if you want to be picky), but in theory, the kernel could allocate and manage up to 1 GB of data.

I have the time fields pulled out but I cannot figure out how to seprate them into a calculatable format. And if this was run from after midnight and the log files rolled back to 23:00, how to calculate this..Any help is much appreciated!

Re: crontab -e
When you use a user crontab (crontab -e), you don't include the user field. The user's own id is implied. I always put a (comment) header line in the user crontab so that it's clear what the fields are. So, your example: */15* * * * root /usr/libexec/rs2 /var/log/rs.log becomes: #minute hourmdaymonth wdaycommand */15* * * * /usr/libexec/rs2 /var/log/rs.log Paul -- Paul A.

Still a few problems in jail
Hey, Using (FreeBSD 4.7-Release) It takes considerably long to login from a workstation to a jailed ssh server or sometimes I even can't login. The login: appears, and then Sent username 'xyz' and then nothing happens or after 20 or even far more seconds I can enter my password! For information: login in from a workstation with ssh on the host itself causes no problems! The only option in the jail sshd_config file which is set, is the ListenAddress which has the ip address of the jail! As you can see below there are problems with timeout. (Some comments on the other errors opensocket_f bind etc.. Are welcomed!! I replaced the original ip address with jail_ip_address, I'm also running bind in a sandbox see the previous posting in the list with the titel Jail problems) I have deleted the /var/log/messages and rebooted this is the output after a fresh reboot! %tail /var/log/messages Dec 5 20:15:46 dns named[321]: not listening on any interfaces Dec 5 20:15:46 dns named[321]: opensocket_f: bind([jail_ip_address].53): Address already in use Dec 5 20:15:46 dns named[321]: opensocket_f: bind([jail_ip_address].53): Address already in use Dec 5 20:15:46 dns sshd[331]: error: Bind to port 22 on jail_ip_address failed: Address already in use.

4.7-RELEASE Fatal trap 12 when NIC receives packet; irq conflict
I upgraded my system from 4.6-RC2 to 4.7-RELEASE and now every ethernet packet I receive crashes the system with fatal trap 12: supervisor read, page not present. This did not happen with 4.6. This is how I know: When I ping another computer, I immediately crash. When another computer pings me, I immediately crash. When I ping localhost, it works as expected, no crash. The following excerpt from dmesg shows that my NIC and graphic card are both assigned irq 11.

Sound driver hangs when writing to the system console
For a couple of months I've been trying to crack a puzzling problem. After upgrading from 4.1 to 4.6 (and now to 4.7) my on-board sound card would pause or die after playing for approximately 20 minutes with a message: pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead I have now managed to isolate the timing dependency: the problem comes from writing to the system console (which a cron job apparently did every 20 minutes). So a command like: cat /usr/share/dict/words /dev/console will immediately break the sound driver with the same message. I have dissabled PnP from the BIOS and locked the card to two different IRQs. I have also dissabled the VGA IRQ and even removed entirely the VGA card (the box works as an appliance), but none of these measures helped. The sound hardware is an on-board WSS-compatible CS4231-based device on an Intel Triton motherboard (Pentium 150MHz) running the latest BIOS update. The box has no local storage booting remotely from another FreeBSD box through Etherboot. I am attaching the output of uname, dmesg, and pciconf. Any ideas or hints on what try would be really appreciated.

Slightly OT: PHP Fatal error:Â Unable to start session mm modulein Unknown on line 0
I know this is not strictly to do with FreeBSD, but maybe there is a kernel option or something I'm overlooking :-) I am getting a lot of these messages: PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0 I have scoured Google as much as I can, and have found mostly people with the problem, and very few solutions. Most of it seems to be a problem with Debian Linux, which of course doesn't apply to me. I have investigated some of the solutions and none of them work. The closest was deleting a semaphore file from /tmp, which seemed to work briefly. And then it didn't. Further investigation shows, since it doesn't happen every time PHP is run, that the problem would seem to be with concurrency - two instances of PHP can't run at the same time. I gather this is because it is trying to create a semaphore that already exists or somesuch. So what this comes down to is should it create unique semaphores (perhaps using the PID) or should it share them more effectively. I suppose I can strip out all the MM stuff, but it's in there in the first place because I used a whole bunch of tips about making PHP as optimized as possible. Obviously an inefficient, working PHP is better than an optimized broken one, but I prefer to fix problems than to try and work around them and pretend they are not there - they usually come back to bite you further down the track.

ipfw firewall help
Please forgive me for asking this, I know it's probably been gone over
numerous times.
I have a network at a colo facility with a freebsd machine and 3 nic's.
Outside nic and the others for the internal networks. I get routed
3 class C's, and the machine is routing and acting as a gateway perfectly.
We decided to close everything and add as needed (ports).
As far as incoming traffic/ports, etc, everything is perfect. But if I
get on any of the internal machines and try to browse the web (windows
update) etc., nothing works.
I'm sure it's something totally simple I'm missing, since it's a colo
facility it's not like it's an office land and people are there but I need
the ability to be on a server there and be able to browse, ftp, etc, all
of which are broken.
Could someone help me figure out what I've done wrong?
Here's the rules I have, the firewall is set to OPEN so it runs
/etc/rc.firewall and adds the 3 generic rulesets, then runs rc.joe which
I'm showing here:

Re: vinum and a BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
Yes, that was the problem - coupled with my ignorance. When I tried removing these before, I still had an error, which was caused by a mistake in my moving /usr and /var.

OK, this looks like a problem with the howto. After you put a Vinum drive on the slices, you no longer have a file system. You need to remove the entries for these slices in /etc/fstab and replace them with entries for the Vinum volumes. The howto tells you to add the entries for the Vinum volumes, but not to remove the old ones. I've tried fooling with fstab and even reinstalling (new machine, no data to be lost), but I keep getting the same problem. Could this be a problem with my newfs usage: newfs -v /dev/vinum/usr newfs -v /dev/vinum/var newfs -v /dev/vinum/public That looks OK. Last thing; When I run vinum and issue the list command, it says everything is 'up', including ad0s1e and ad2s1e. Vinum doesn't say that ad0s1e and ad2s1e are up.

You are running a command that was designed for sh(1) or compatible shells in csh(1).

natd + ipfw2 + dynamic rules
I just tracked down, that having the line: add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 No longer works (used to work with ipfw) man page says this: According to man, packets diverted to userland and reinserted lose their attributes. The following rules work: allow icmp from any to any allow udp from any to 161.142.1.17 53 via tun0 allow udp from 161.142.1.17 53 to any via tun0 But stateful rules like below don't: add allow tcp from any to any out xmit tun0 setup add allow tcp from any to any via tun0 established add allow udp from any to 61.6.32.62 123 keep-state So, does this mean that a tcp packet goes out sets up a dynamic rule before going out via natd. But coming in.. it is diverted via natd, loses some info about state, and doesn't get passed through any rules? For the tcp dynamic rules, 10 packets get diverted by natd rule 5 packets match the tcp rule via tun0 setup 0 packets are denied by the last deny all rule. What happened to the packets that are supposed to be coming in via the setup rule? What's the proper way to do natd with ipfw2? So far, it's the only problem with my recent testing of current :(.

PNP0303, for example is the keyboard, PNP0A03 is the PCI bus, etc. http://members.hyperlink.net.au/~chart/download/pnpid.txt has a pretty comprehensive list of PNP IDs and what hardware they correspond to. You can safely ignore those messages, or if you are adventurous, look up the IDs and remove any static hints for those devices. That should let the kernel use the PNP table to find them. Keep an emergency kernel handy (or if you're commenting out hints, print out the file so you can manually enter the hints in the loader), since if you remove the wrong hints, you risk ending up with a system that has no keyboard :) -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

smbfs - Is this still appropriate
THE PROBLEM have a FreeBSD box that needs to map Windoze shares root@flea(/usr/ports/net/smbfs)ttyp3 # uname -a FreeBSD flea.bytecraft.au.com 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Tue Sep 24 19:41:00 EST 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 on other (older) host I added /usr/ports/net/smbfs when attempting this on current host get this message OS versions subsequent to 500027 include smbfs from the make. OK I can cope with that, so I try root@flea(~)ttyp3 # mount_smbfs -I melcms01.xxx.yyy.zzz //ADMINISTRATOR@MELCMS01/sms /mnt Password: and get this mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) OK so I look into the /dev/MAKEDEV scripts and there is no nsmb anywhere. So I looked into the old hosts port working dir and found this in the Makefile cd /dev rm -f nsmb* mknod nsmb0 c 144 0 There are currently no nsmb devices in /dev on the new host THE QUESTION Is this command line still appropriate or has any of the mknod parameters changed?

ASUS A7V333 USB problem
Hello, I have an ASUS A7V333-X mobo and after some fiddling it more or less works very well. However the USB ports, while recognised, will not see my mouse plugged into them. I have not tried any other USB device yet, but I was wondering if anyone has a clue on this ? I have finger-pocked the BIOS options, but it makes no difference. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Need help with newbie training on DNS/Bind
Anyone know of a good tutorial I could use to teach someone how to work with Bind 9.2 on Freebsd as well as DNS? AKA adding and removing records, administration, maintenance, troubleshooting, etc. I have a newbie who I need to teach how to maintain one of our DNS servers and I'd like to do it right. I could teach him from what I know, but that would be like teaching a dog to drive a car. :) I want something in writing, on paper that he can take home at the end of the day and soak up the info I drilled into him on that day so that he can learn faster. Can anyone help with this? I searched, but the tutorials I found so far suck. Think newbie who's never touched bind. :) Thanks again.

Re: Need help with newbie training on DNS/Bind
It's not really a tutorial, but I learned how to configure BIND and do basic administration using O'Reilly's DNS and BIND, 4th ed.. O'Reilly has also recently published a Bind Cookbook (don't remember the exact title), which has lots of examples of common BIND configurations. Most of the general Introduction to UNIX/Freebsd type books seem to have chapters on DNS and BIND as well. I have a feeling you were thinking more in terms of free docs, but for a topic as fundamental as DNS, a good book can be worth the cost of admission.

Re: Need help with newbie training on DNS/Bind
From one newbie to another, drop Bind and go with djbdns. I tried both and djbdns was 10* easyer to use and install. In two days I had DNS resolution working. Much easier tutorials to follow with clear examples. And it's in ports. - Original Message - From: Mark Fujie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dragoncrest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 11:28 PM Subject: Re: Need help with newbie training on DNS/Bind It's not really a tutorial, but I learned how to configure BIND and do basic administration using O'Reilly's DNS and BIND, 4th ed..
