ufs2 file system and zope/zeo directorystorage q
Howdy: I'd have a Zope/Zeo site that I'd like to set up to use DirectoryStorage. DirectoryStorage author states: bushy If you are using a filesystem that is inefficient with directories containing larger than a few hundred items. This is optimal for most conventional filesystems, such as ext2 on linux. In this format each object is given its own directory nested inside 8 levels of subdirectory. Each revision of an object has its own file in that directory. chunky If you are using a filesystem that is most efficient with directories containing tens of thousands of subdirectories, or hundreds of thousands of files. This is optimal for filesystems such as reiser3 or JFS on linux. In this format, one subdirectory is shared by up to 65000 objects. That subdirectory is nested inside 4 levels of subdirectory. I am unsure whether UFS2 would best utilize the chunky or busy options. The 64 bit pointers allow for up to 65K subdirs w/in a dir, correct? So the large number of subdirs under chunky format could be handled. Dirhash and dirpref can deal can cope with large numbers of files per directory, correct. But then doesn't UFS2 still use more linear model? Any insights from the filesystem gurus would be appreciated. Please 'cc, as I am not subscribed to questions.

Re: Howto set sysinstall to use CURRENT packages
On Tue, May 18, 2004 at 01:55:54PM -0700, Dinesh Nadarajah wrote: How do I set sysinstall to use current packages? In the config menu I changed 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.2.1-CURRENT and several other values but would not recognize. Complains no such distribution is available on ftp.freebsd.org. There's no such package collection I'm afraid. Mostly because there's no such thing as '5.2.1-CURRENT'. There is 5-CURRENT, but that is the bleeding edge absolute latest development version of the OS, and as it's of no conceivable use except to system developers it doesn't have a package collection compiled for it. (OTOH, as you can probably use the packages for a similar OS version, the FTP sites do have a 'packages-5-current' sym-link to the packages-5.2-release directory). However, the packages for 5.2.1-RELEASE (or 4.10-RELEASE due any time now...) are updated at reasonably frequent intervals. Check the 'Latest' directory on the FTP sites -- eg: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2-release/Latest also, where is the config file for sysinstall? Where can I set its package repository, etc? Sysinstall(8) doesn't really have a config file in the way you mean. Sysinstall is designed for /installing the system/ (the clue is in the name) not as a general systems administration interface (although you can do some stuff with it along those lines). So the config file that sysinstall does have is more aimed at doing automated installion. There isn't a file that sysinstall will automatically check -- if you want to load a config file you have to either do it via the sysinstall Menu system, by setting 'LOAD_CONFIG_FILE' in the environment before you start sysinstall or by telling sysinstall the filename on the command line. Instead of sysinstall, try using the pkg_add(1) command -- the man page will tell you everything you need to know about how to use it.

5.2.1: Wireless X questions
Ok. I installed 5.2.1 on a laptop last night, which went quite nicely. During the install, it detected my wireless card, just fine. It wanted to dhcp for it, but that (correctly) failed, as my net uses wep. So, it punted me to the manual interface configuration screen, where I was easily able to tell it everything it needed to successfully get me on the air. I was a happy camper. :) Questions: 1) How do I tell the system the ssid, wepmode, and key, and then have it get everything else via dhcp? 2) How do I *easily* handle multiple wireless nets? I will be using the laptop on a number of them. 3) How do I tell the system to cope, when I put a wired card in, instead of a wireless card, and I just want it to get me on the air with dhcp? 4) It's a Dell Lattitude CPx J. How do I configure X on it? That's really two questions ... I skipped the X setup during install, and don't know how to get back to that configuration screen, and I don't know anything about the video card and screen in the laptop.

Re: Creating ISO image question (PROBLEM SOLVED)
Hi Malcolm, Tks for your advice. You understand my need completely. Problem is now solved as stated at the bottom of this posting. I believe that in case 1) you want to see the directory usr on the final CD containing subdirectory home etc. And in instance 2) you want to see the directory user-A on the final CD containing document-AAA etc. In the command mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso dir/ the directory 'dir' does not actually appear on the CD. At the top level the CD would contain the files and subdirectories appearing in 'dir/'. To get the full sequence 'user-A/document-AAA/subdirectories/..' to appear on the CD you would need mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /usr/home/ But unfortaunately this will include all under home; not just user-A/document-AAA. The simplest way to achieve what I believe you want in instance 2) is to create a temporary tree of what you want to see on the CD: mkdir tree mkdir tree/user-A cp -Rp /usr/home/user-A/document-AAA tree/user-A mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso tree (The mkisofs options are just an example -- probably not what you want) Now you can remove the temporary tree: rm -R tree I don't expect it would be so complicate on FreeBSD. It is rather simple on Linux. You might be able to avoid this copying using the mkisofs option -graft-points ; but I have no experience with this. SOLUTION; $ mkisofs -U -R -o cdimage.raw -graft-points \ usr/home/user-A/document-AAA/=/usr/home/user-A/document-AAA 2 (two) folders then created; 1) user. Under this folder usr/home/user-A/document-AAA/subdirectories+files (full path) 2) rr_remove This is an empty folder I don't know how to get rid of the empty folder 'rr_remove'. If no solution I will burn a CD to test Lot of thanks for your HINT B.R. Stephen ___ Do You Yahoo!?

Total freezeup under network load
Hello, I've encountered a problem with FreeBSD. When I upload files to my FTP server (pure-ftpd v1.0.18) on the LAN I get speeds around 3MB/s. Then, suddenly and at totally random times, the transfer stops. If I'm connected to the server's IRCd I ping timeout. The server totally freezes for a period of 5-10 seconds or so. I've tried using two different clients, both give me this result. Even if there's a problem with the FTPd, the OS/network shouldn't freeze up totally. The computer in question has a VIA 533MHz board, with an on-board NIC. I tried asking for help on IRC (#freebsdhelp on EFnet), but it seemed like no one had ever encountered this problem before. An op told me to look into dummynet. I guess enabling dummynet in the kernel could aid me, but I still think that it's strange that FreeBSD locks up after a random period of time, after being under a network load. I would really appreciate help on this.

I get a message stating that the accound has expired, even for the root user. Please help as this has rendered my system unusable. Hmmm... This sounds like a bug in KDE that was fixed some months ago. It would scramble the contents of the /etc/master.passwd file. To get the system back into a working state, reboot into single user mode (ie. wait until the 10 second countdown before booting the kernel, hit a key to interrupt and then type 'boot -s' and then just hit return when prompted to choose a shell. Now you should be able to restore the master.passwd file from the backup copy automatically kept in /var/backups. Try the following series of commands: # fsck -p # swapon -a # mount -a # cd /etc # mv master.passwd master.passwd-`date +%Y%m%d` # cp /var/backups/master.passwd.bak master.passwd # pwd_mkdb # reboot That should restore the password file to the state it was before you tried the changes that caused all of the trouble, and you should now be able to log in. If you haven't got a good copy of a password file in /var/backups, you can use the default installation password file from /usr/src/etc/master.passwd instead, but remember to set a root password immediately after you copy it into /etc. Once you're back up and running properly, update your ports tree using cvsup(1) and install the latest versions of the KDE software -- using portupgrade(1) [from the sysutils/portupgrade port] is probably the most pleasant way to do that, but be sure and check in /usr/ports/UPDATING to see if there are any special measures you need to take. Or you can grab precompiled packages from the FreeBSD FTP servers.

Re: Cannot Login After Using Kuser to setup Accounts
On Wed, May 19, 2004 at 10:23:24 EDT, Mark Teel scribbled these curious markings: On a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2, after I add a user via kuser, when I logout I cannot log back in! I get a message stating that the accound has expired, even for the root user. Looks like you got bitten by a bug in KUser that was shipped with FreeBSD 5.2. This has been fixed in the latest version. As a fix, try booting into single user mode, mounting your filesystems (it's important to mount them rw), and then fixing your passwd database with vipw. Regardless of whether that fixes things or not, it's a very good idea to update KDE to the latest version (or just use the robust user and group administration tools that have shipped with FreeBSD and that have worked for years). -- I abhor a system designed for the user, if that word is a coded pejorative meaning stupid and unsophisticated. -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly.

5.2.1 Netware Issues...
Couple of questions about IPX here that I guess might be related 1- ncp won't compile 2- ipxrouted causes kernel panic when killing nwserv or halting/rebooting system I note that ncp is currently an uncleared bug and wonder if this is what's causing the ipxrouted panics. Anyway, regardless, I was hoping to move this nwserv box from linux to freebsd and with usb support, so a 5.x would have been a good solution. I was wondering therefore under what 5.x the ncp fix might be happening? Also, is it necessary to use the if_ef drivers for ipxrouted/ipx/nwserv etc?

If you're running the ports version, then you'll have to adapt these instructions. i) Make sure the permissions are correct on the spool directories etc. that sendmail uses: # mtree -p /var -e -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist # mtree -p /var -e -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist ii) Make sure that the permissions on the sendmail binary are correct and that mailer.conf is correct. # /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make obj make depend make all install after which you should end up with sendmail installed as /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail with ownership/permissions: % ls -la /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail -r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 607444 May 19 17:29 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail (or do a complete buildworld cycle if it's time you had an upgrade anyway) The contents of /etc/mail/mailer.conf should look like this: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.2.2.1 2002/04/09 02:00:56 gshapiro Exp $ # # Execute the real sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail # sendmail/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail hoststat/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail purgestat /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail iii) Check your sendmail config. Judging by the log snippet you show, you've got some sort of nasty mess, with non-working parts of your system calling itself 'sendmail' (perhaps a remnant of a much older version before the split into sendmail-mta and sendmail-clientmqueue?)

freebsd + linux dual boot share filesystem?
Hello, I'm about to setup a dual boot of linux + freebsd (5.2.1-RELEASE) on a 160gb hard disk. I'd really like linux and freebsd to share (be able to read and write) the bulk of the disk so that I can work in either environment freely. FreeBSD's ext2fs kernel module would seem preferable over a msdosfs install (yuck...), but SYS-NOTES labels it as dangerous for even read-only. Is FreeBSD capable of reliable ext2fs read+write? If not, is there a filesystem besides msdosfs that I can share between FreeBSD and Linux? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

AIO stupidity
Hey all,
I'm pretty sure I am being stupid, but I couldn't get any help
from google or by searching the archives. Any pointer would be greatly
appretiated!
I am trying to use aio functions in a real-time thread. The
trouble is I keep getting Function not implemented errors. I thought
these functions were implemented! I am using FreeBSD 4.9. the
kernel is self compiled (config below). Anyway, here's a code snipit:
if( asyncWriteBuffers[ asyncWriteIndex ].pending ) {
int err = aio_error( (asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData) );
if( err == EINPROGRESS )
throw UnderflowException( -16 );
else if( err != 0 ) {
cout Async IO Error: strerror( err ) endl;
throw FatalException( -12, strerror( err ) );
}
}
bzero( (char *) asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData.aio_fildes,
sizeof (struct aiocb));
asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData.aio_fildes = fd;
asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData.aio_buf = localIOBuff;
asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData.aio_nbytes
= (end-start)*(bitdepth3)*channels ;
asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData.aio_reqprio = 0;
if( -1 == aio_write( (asyncWriteBuffers[asyncWriteIndex].asyncData) ) )
throw FatalException( -12, strerror( errno ) );
asyncWriteIndex = ( asyncWriteIndex + 1 ) % NUM_ASYNC_WRITE_BUFFERS;
The error happens on call to aio_write, which is the first aio_ function
that gets called. I have checked pretty carefully to make sure the values
in asyncData are valid. (asyncData is of type struct aiocb of course).
TIA,
bjorn

/usr out of space
Aloha I'm looking for a little direction (instructions or reading) that could point me the right way. I have a box with an 18G scsi hd that has win98 loaded on slice 1, FreeBSD 5.2RC loaded on slice 2 and I had a couple of linux distros loaded in extended partitions. I had blown away one of the linux distros a while back. and that partition is idle. Here is my problem. I ran out of space in /usr. Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da1s2a253678 75170 15821432%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/da1s2e253678 202 233182 0%/tmp /dev/da1s2f 2421616 2419590 -191702 109%/usr /dev/da1s2d253678 32722 20066214%/var /dev/fd0 1424 91415 1%/tmp/floppy My thoughts were to redo that idle slice (4.5Gig) to a UFS and cp usr to it. Then I could change my /etc/fstab to find /usr on the new slice. Is this possible? I've been doing a lot of research (handbook, man bsdlabel, man ccd, etc.) and I haven't had much luck. I first used sysinstall to fdisk the idle slice to a primary slice and set it as a type 165. I used the disk label editor in sysinstall to try to create a single file system as FS and /usr. When trying to write this I got an error but the handbook says to ignore any errors. After reboot, ls -l /dev/da* shows my new slice as da1s4f; crw-r- 1 root operator4, 12 May 19 12:59 /dev/da0 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 14 May 19 12:59 /dev/da0s4 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 13 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 15 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s1 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 16 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s2 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 19 May 19 02:59 /dev/da1s2a crw-r- 1 root operator4, 20 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s2b crw-r- 1 root operator4, 21 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s2c crw-r- 1 root operator4, 22 May 19 02:59 /dev/da1s2d crw-r- 1 root operator4, 23 May 19 02:59 /dev/da1s2e crw-r- 1 root operator4, 24 May 19 02:59 /dev/da1s2f crw-r- 1 root operator4, 17 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s3 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 18 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s4 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 27 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s4c crw-r- 1 root operator4, 28 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s4f crw-r- 1 root operator4, 25 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s5 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 26 May 19 12:59 /dev/da1s6 And doing an fdisk shows this ** Working on device /dev/da1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 11 (0x0b),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT) start 63, size 4883697 (2384 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 303/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 4883760, size 8594775 (4196 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 304/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 838/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 5 (0x05),(Extended DOS) start 22458870, size 13092975 (6393 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 13478535, size 8980335 (4384 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 839/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 but when trying mount /dev/da1s4f /tmp/foo I get; bsd-desktop# mount /dev/da1s4f /tmp/foo mount: /dev/da1s4f on /tmp/foo: incorrect super block When I tried using bsdlabel without any options I got an error.

Re: Max NFSD processes
Dan Nelson wrote: In the last episode (May 19), Eric Anderson said: I have several heavily used NFS servers, currently running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. I'm getting jammed up with all my nfsd processes being busy, so clients see slow connections to the server. I have the nfsd starting with a count of 20, which is the max set in the nfsd.c file. Are there any risks I should be aware of before bumping up the max to say 40, or even 50? What would it take to make this a sysctl adjustable value? Should the max be bumped higher by default nowdays? What's the output of ps ax | grep nfsd? How much CPU does the last nfsd process have? If your backend storage is a RAID with lots of disks, and your last nfsd is actually getting some use, then bumping up the nfsds will probably help. Although if you're hitting a kernel bottleneck (locking for example), more nfsds won't do any good. Here's the output: 97 ?? Is 0:00.01 nfsd: master (nfsd) 99 ?? S 4:52.61 nfsd: server (nfsd) 100 ??

OpenOffice Install in FreeBSD

One option is to download a package off the OpenOffice.org site and install that ... the only difficulty there is finding the older dependent packages and getting them installed first. But the OpenOffice Package would still build the Java stuff wouldn't it or do you think the issue is with the openoffice-1.1 port? Not too familiar with using FreeBSD on a desktop, mainly used it previously as an email, file etc, server. Just thought it would be great to start using it on the Desk since there are so many Open Source Desktop apps coming out. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

memory allocation/deallocation (malloc experts needed)
My problem is essentially that freeing large numbers of small chunks of memory can be very slow. I have run into this problem twice so far. 1) Shutting down python can take several minutes if I have used large dictionaries. The solution I use here is to exit python without freeing the allocated memory (not really a good solution). 2) Freeing large hashtables in C. (No solution yet.) For these hashtables I can fairly easily divide the data into groups which could be deleted together. If I have all this data in one predefined region of memory then deleting them would be very fast. However in order to keep memory consumption as low as possible without sacrificing speed I am using Judy arrays (see the Judy project at source forge). But that means I have no direct control over how malloc is called. One solution would be to divide the memory in larger regions and to tell malloc which chunk to use for the next few calls, respectively when a whole chunk could be freed. But I don't know how to do this. Cyclone's regions seem to provide more or less what I need but cyclone works on neither CURRENT nor on amd64. Any suggestions where to look/what to read are greatly appreciated - Till ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would recommend making a copy of fstab that has the da1s4f as the /usr partition. I do a tunefs -n enable on the new filesystem device. Then, I boot into single user mode, mount -ro /usr and mount -rw /newusr (and I even mount /var if I need to do editing with vi.) I then tar or copy the files over (dump works, too). After all that's done, umount /usr and umount /newusr. Copy the new version of fstab to /etc/fstab, and try a mount /usr or mount -a.
