shell script help
I'm trying to clean up a script that controls my tape better. Among
other things it sets some variable to use later. I've made an error
somewhere and I'm thinking that I'm missing the obvious since I cant
find the error. I want to set command line options for tar. Below
taroptions has what I want. Line 12 echo's the command. When I use
what line echo's to the console tar works. However, something is
happening with line 13 that makes tar mad. It tells me
tar can't open the archive /dev/sa0 /var/log
Please advice -- I'm going blind trying understand this one.

mod_php4 build fails on fontconfig?
Hi List, I should probably consult the mod_php mail list for this but I thought I'd try my luck here first since this is on FreeBSD 4.7 and I've had pretty good responses before from this list.

Interrupts percentage high + packetloss
Hi, there is a gw on 100mbit bandwidth, and interrupt is damn high on it even though the bandwidth utilization is only about 20%, and it is an AMD 2Ghz machine with 0,5Gb of DDR Ram though the network card is a D-Link DL10050 (one pci card with 4 ports), so maybe this is the problem, you will let me know I have queried with some commands the system stats, let me know if someone interested in any other details and which command gives me the result. Any ideas why is this percentage so high ? Or how can I see this in more detail ? I wouldn't be excited about it, but packet loss occour (I can see if I ping the machine from outside network), it's running a quake server behind this gw and it has quiet much amount of LAG last pid: 1162; load averages: 0.42, 0.10, 0.03up 0+03:10:57 21:53:35 30 processes: 2 running, 28 sleeping CPU states: 36.7% user, 0.0% nice, 10.5% system, 37.5% interrupt, 15.2% idle Mem: 10M Active, 12M Inact, 22M Wired, 10M Buf, 456M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free I have checked with trafshow It was 2680 pkt/sec 2128450 bytes/sec so about 2mbyte/sec ~20mbit netstat NameMtu Network Address Ipkts IerrsOpkts Oerrs Coll ste0* 1500 Link#1 00:05:5d:e6:0c:3d0 00 0 0 ste1 1500 Link#2 00:05:5d:e6:0c:3e 5978838 0 6481883 0 0 ste1 1500 localnet/21 gw.localnet 13771 - 5785 - - ste2 1500 Link#3 00:05:5d:e6:0c:3f76912 065964 0 0 ste2 1500 dmz/21 gw.dmz 554 - 6339 - - ste3 1500 Link#4 00:05:5d:e6:0c:40 6606007 0 6035123 0 0 ste3 1500 outside www.dmz44190 -41819 - - ste3 1500 gwgw 3536 -0 - - lo0 16384 Link#5 4 04 0 0 lo0 16384 your-net localhost.localnet 0 -0 - - iostat tty ad0 acd0 cpu tin tout KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in id 0 137 15.95 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 0 0 0 6 94 here is the dmesg output Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

problems do configure monitor in my notebook
Hi, I have a notebook Satellite 3000-214, and now I want to install the freeBSD SO, together with windows XP that came with my notebook. I made a partition to install the new SO, and I with the FreeBSD install program I made the swap and FS partitions. I manage to install the system, but the graphic mode doesn't work anyway! I tryed all, but I didn't manage put it in work! even the mouse (USB - a thing that I thought that could be difficult to set in this system...) works in text mode... I tryed to setup in the sysinstall the XF86Config, and after in text mode with the vi. I think that the problem is with the is the configuration of the monitor, in the horizsync and vertRefresh parameters I tryed many confs that I found in the internet... h: 31,5- 62; v: 30-50 ... and many other combinations... but it doesn't work! When I try startx, apper in the many thin vertical shining color lines on the monitor. Could you give a help?

Installing FreeBSD onto Vinum-volumes?
Hello. I'm about to install a new machine which will have 2 IDE-disks. I'd like to mirror some volumes between those disks while other volumes should be striped. I'd like to do this with FreeBSD 5.1. There's no data on the disks that I want/have to keep. Is it at all possible to configure Vinum and then install FreeBSD or will I have to install FreeBSD first and then convert to Vinum-volumes by manually editing the disklabel (with bsdlabel), calculating offsets etc.? In other words, is there an easy way to do this? :) (I already tried installing FreeBSD and then converting to Vinum but failed miserably and am now looking for an easy way out.) -- Eivind Olsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: windowmaker problem
Don't know much about bash, but do you need to update your shell's path? For instance, running rehash under csh will tell the shell to update its list of executables found in the path.

I've had great success with configuring an initial tiny partition as '/' and doing a minimal installation (and I mean *minimal*, as in, there's nothing else you can remove and still have it boot). The first step after booting the new system is then configuring vinum, adding volumes for /usr, /var, and so on, and moving the (small!) amount of data from the physical filesystem to their vinum counterparts. Once that's up, I do a more complete install with /stand/sysinstall. Out of curiosity, what offsets have you had to calculate? -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Crash with bpf
Hello.
I've got a production server which keeps crashing if I use bpfs to much.
I usually only use bpf0 for dhcp server, but if I start e.g. snort and ntop, the
machine will soon reboot. The same
happens if I run tcpdump.
uname -a gives:
FreeBSD x..zz 4.7-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p9 #2: Sat Mar 22

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X i386
The hardware is an Athlon with 128MB RAM, 4 SCSI HD building two mirrored vinum
volumes and two Intel NIC (one of which
is currently unused, but was when it all began and probably will be again soon).
The problem has started to show after an upgrade to 4.6 or 4.7 I believe (but I cannot
recall exactly).
I might as well try an upgrade to 4.8, but I'd rather have more insight.
Following is the output of bt from gdb. Anyone can suggest where do I look next?

Re: maildir with softupdates
Basically, if you want to ensure that email wont get lost, put the maildirs and mail queue on separate partitions and mount them sync. This is what I do. If you have to speed things, try first a battery backed raid controler and enable the write cache on it. Of course, you should always use an UPS and some will say you can take the risk of enabling soft-updates anyway. But realise that if you have only a small load on the mail server, then having the partition mounted sync wont make such a big difference. If you are under high load, when you need performance, you also need to mount sync, as the potential of loss is much greater... just my two cents Raphael Le Mercredi, 23 juil 2003, à 17:38 Europe/Zurich, Bill Moran a écrit : Attila Nagy wrote: Hello, Is this statement still valid? ext3 is unsafe for maildir, and with softupdates, so is ffs. http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0202/0358.html Yes, It's also true that any form of write-caching is unsafe, so disable the caches on your SCSI and ATA hard drives.

Xcdroast recognized the drive upon startup, for gcombust i had to manually set the drive 1,0,0. In arson it wont let me add any SCSI devices such as 1,0,0 and when I press scan SCSI bus it turns up nothing.

Isn't the requirement of providing two nameservers when registering a domain to ensure redundancy in case one is down/unreachable/etc.? Having two instances of BIND (bound to separate IP addresses) on a single machine throws this redudancy right out the window. If one only has one physical nameserver, there are web sites devoted to matching up people who agree to provide secondary DNS for each other. This has the added benefit of having your nameservers greatly separated (both physically and network wise). j. -- Jeremy L.

Re: Installing FreeBSD onto Vinum-volumes?
At 2003-07-23T18:21:42Z, Eivind Olsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Are you able to have a mirrored root-device (/) with this approach? Or will you end up with having a single copy of / on one drive? I end up with a single copy of '/'. However, I partition (both,all) drives identically, so that each has a 200MB-or-so slice at the beginning. I use rsync from a cron job to make backups of '/' to the starting slice of each drive. The reasons I do this are that: 1) Any old FreeBSD boot floppy/CD can read the mirrors of '/' in the event that the root drive dies, regardless of the state of vinum. Makes disaster recovery that much easier. 2) You get a little bit of versioning for free. Accidentally overwrite /etc/master.passwd with mergemaster? Just grab the copy from /rootbackup. Out of curiosity, what offsets have you had to calculate? I've read a bit of a chapter from the 4th edition of The Complete FreeBSD: http://www.vinumvm.org/cfbsd/vinum.pdf (or, as text http://www.vinumvm.org/cfbsd/vinum.txt). It suggests to install the swap-partition first on the drive, setup a slice for vinum to cover the entire drive and then run bsdlabel and change the offset and size for the swap and vinum partitions. Weird. I've never bothered with any of that. I always just call create with: sd length 0 drive myDrive1 and let vinum calculate the correct sizes. -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Is it at all possible to configure Vinum and then install FreeBSD or will I have to install FreeBSD first and then convert to Vinum-volumes by manually editing the disklabel (with bsdlabel), calculating offsets etc.? In other words, is there an easy way to do this? :) Maybe.

Dead hard drive I think
Hey *, A couple weeks ago I posted some error code and someone said it was probably a dying hard drive. I believe he was correct and that the drive is actively getting worse (it's in a lights-out center in another state so I wish I could poke at it but I can't). I'm hoping someone can confirm that it is the hard drive that needs to be replaced since I will have to tell management what to buy (and accounting is CHEAP) and it would really be embarrassing to have to order a second piece of hardware. Basically these are the messages I found in /var/log/messges and dmesg (da0 is the first SCSI drive). == Jul 23 10:40:31 mas02 /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack Jul 23 10:41:01 mas02 last message repeated 454274 times Jul 23 10:41:27 mas02 last message repeated 383695 times Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x2a - timed out Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: ahc0: Dumping Card State while idle, at SEQADDR 0x8 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: ACCUM = 0x0, SINDEX = 0x38, DINDEX = 0xe4, ARG_2 = 0x0 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: HCNT = 0x0 SCBPTR = 0xa Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0xa Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: DFCNTRL = 0x0, DFSTATUS = 0x89 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: LASTPHASE = 0x1, SCSISIGI = 0x0, SXFRCTL0 = 0x80 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: SSTAT0 = 0x0, SSTAT1 = 0x8 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: SCSIPHASE = 0x0 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: STACK == 0x3, 0x108, 0x160, 0x0 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: SCB count = 70 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Kernel NEXTQSCB = 30 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Card NEXTQSCB = 30 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: QINFIFO entries: Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Waiting Queue entries: Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Disconnected Queue entries: 3:42 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: QOUTFIFO entries: Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Sequencer Free SCB List: 10 19 28 7 29 2 18 22 26 31 9 24 6 15 4 21 27 0 12 30 8 14 16 25 13 11 17 20 23 5 1 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Sequencer SCB Info: 0(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 1(c 0x60, s 0x7, l 0, t 0xff) 2(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 3(c 0x66, s 0x7, l 0, t 0x2a) 4(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 5(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 6(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 7(c 0x62, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 8(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 9(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 10(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 11(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 12(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 13(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 14(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 15(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 16(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 17(c 0x60, s 0x7, l 0, t 0xff) 18(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 19(c 0x62, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 20(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 21(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 22(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 23(c 0x60, s 0x7, l 0, t 0 xff) 24(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 25(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 26(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 27(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 28(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0 xff) 29(c 0x62, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 30(c 0x60, s 0x17, l 0, t 0xff) 31(c 0x60, s 0x17 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: 0xff) Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Pending list: 42(c 0x62, s 0x7, l 0) Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: Kernel Free SCB list: 56 3 36 61 32 60 22 21 23 15 12 19 62 67 8 14 13 9 55 69 39 52 18 64 50 25 26 35 34 31 28 29 24 58 7 38 4 5 9 43 2 49 5 16 40 0 68 17 57 65 6 20 37 44 66 53 11 54 41 47 45 63 27 10 46 1 33 51 48 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: sg[0] - Addr 0xcebc000 : Length 4096 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: sg[1] - Addr 0xcefd000 : Length 4096 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: sg[2] - Addr 0xcebe000 : Length 4096 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: sg[3] - Addr 0xcedf000 : Length 4096 Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queuing a BDR SCB Jul 23 10:41:28 mas02 /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34a Jul 23 10:41:31 mas02 last message repeated 44141 times Jul 23 10:41:31 mas02 /kernel: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack = --- Emo is what happens when the glee club goes punk. --- __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: OpenSSH 3.6.1 support in RELENG_5_0?
In the last episode (Jul 23), Darren Spruell said: I just updated from 5.0 release per the RELENG_5_0 tag. I had expected that the source tree would then contain openssh-3.6.1p but after a make installworld I see that it is still at 'OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20021029' (according to a scanssh query.) Should I be seeing 3.6.1 or is it not in the tree? RELENG_5_0 is the branch for people that are running 5.0 on production systems and only want security patches. I doubt RELENG_5_0 has many differences from RELENG_5_0_0_RELEASE. You probably want to track either HEAD or RELENG_5_1, since openssh 3.6.1 got imported before FreeBSD 5.1 was released. Or if you want to stick with 5.0, install the openssh port. $ uname -r 5.1-CURRENT $ /usr/bin/ssh -V OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 FreeBSD-20030423, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f $ _ -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Huge load average on mail server
I recently became responsible for our mail server, and lately, the load average on the thing has been running consistently high, in mid-20's to mid-30's. And at the same time, sendmail has become extremely sluggish in terms of responding to connections on port 25. There's got to be a bottleneck somewhere, but my experience leaves me ill-equipped to seek it out. What procedures would folks recommend for me to follow in order to try and determine the problem?

Re: Make Permission errors! Most odd.
Brad [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been experiencing permission errors with make intermittently. It's happening with quite a few users on the box but it's just random. It's never a certain application or a certain user/group so it's been very hard to pinpoint what the problem is, hence why I'm posting here. What is happening is basically a user will untar a file and type make after a ./configure and get make: Permission denied. When I first encountered this I believe I chmod -R 777 * in the directory that the file was untared in and that worked for me, but for some of my users who are less experienced with freeBSD won't know how and don't know how to resolve this and it shouldn't be happening in the first place. Other users say they have gotten the error and simply logged out and back in and resolved it. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it? tar(1) stores permissions as well as the files themselves. By default, it doesn't seem (according to a quick manual check I just did) to try to recreate those permissions when it extracts the files; it uses the umask instead. So make sure that the users have a reasonable umask by default. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I would think that this means the shell couldn't open the
directory to get the filenames to match?
That's also a possibility. You can use cat to tell the difference
though.. Here's a ls shell function that knows the difference
between an empty directory and one it can't read. Unfortunately, it
requires cat, whereas plain echo * is done without forking:
ls () { cat . /dev/null echo * ; }

Trouble reading BSD formatted HD in USB hard drive... but it worksfine in Linux!
I recently decided to move one of the drives in my main system into an external USB 2.0 case. This was done so that I could take this drive between several systems (it is primarily used for backup and data archival). Yes, I know that 1394 (FireWire) would be faster, but not all of my machines are capable of it. And some of them literally do *not* have any free PCI slots which I could insert a 1394 card into. Like I said, the drive I installed in my USB case was already formatted as a FreeBSD drive. However, once I inserted it into a USB case, I am now unable to mount the drive again. Here are the appropriate dmesg printouts: umass0: Acer Labs USB 2.0 Storage Device, rev 2.00/1.03, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: USB 2.0 Storage Device 0100 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 650KB/s transfers da0: 76319MB (156301488 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 10783C) da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 (The reading primary partition table errors appear when I try the following mount command: mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/backup) Now, here's the kicker: I took the same drive over to a friend's Linux box (he is running Mandrake 9.1, with Linux kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk). Linux has had the ability, for some time now, to mount UFS partitions. So I figured what the heck and decided that I'd try mounting it on his system. Here is the dmesg printouts from when I plugged in the USB hard drive to this Linux box: hub.c: new USB device 00:11.3-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x402/0x5621) is not claimed by any active driver.

It seems that it is able to detect this disk just fine, and it does see a BSD filesystem on it. And sure enough, issuing the command mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda1 /mnt/bsd works fine!! I am able to read any and all files on this drive. I'd really like to get this sucker going under FreeBSD, but I am frankly out of ideas and at my wit's end. I am grateful to anyone who can offer any assistance or hints/clues at this point. The kernel configuration from my FreeBSD machine is available if anyone would like to see it. In short, I enabled all USB options in the kernel config file, as well as the SCSI base code. The USB case in question is a generic case labeled only ME-320 Series 3.5/5.25 External Enclosure. It is available in several configurations; mine is the single-port USB 1.1/2.0 configuration. It apparently uses an Acer Labs USB-to-IDE bridge chip, tho I can't tell what the chip's part number is.

Step one: run `top' and see what process(es) are using the most CPU. It may
be something not directly related to Sendmail. For example, one of my
associates wrote his own bulk mail delivery program to inject a huge number
of messages into the outgoing mail (he works with an ecommerce site with a
large opt-in newsletter list). A minor error in his code:
if (numberOfRunningProcesses != 10) { fork(); }
instead of:
if (numberOfRunningProcesses = 10) { fork(); }
caused his program to occasionally flip out and large several hundred
running copies of itself (hi, Aaron!).
