I have made a fresh install from the iso image I downloaded. Formatted the entire drive, just to make sure it was clean. I have installed everything of interest via the ports tree. But many things seem to fail randomly. I can use xfe for a while, then blip its gone. pptpclient is the same. Fluxbox generates .core files as well... but its never shutdown on me. xprop has generated a few too. Doesn't seem to be any one app. I'm new to FreeBSD (and *nix in general)... so I have no idea where to begin investigating. I was previously using 5.3-BETA7 and did not have these problems. The only thing I did different this time was to make things from the ports tree instead of pkg_add everything. You probably have a bad CPU cache on your motherboard. The solution is to use that machine for some Windows system and get a different PC. What happens with the beta code is that it's compiled with debugging switched on, for obvious reasons. The production code is compiled with debugging off, as well as a lot of other go-fast optimizations, once again, for obvious reasons. Some of these optimizations make use of funny tricks like making loops small enough to fit in the CPU cache so that the loop executes 10 times faster, etc. All of this now means that your hardware has to do some real work for a change, instead of loafing along like it does under Windows. Some hardware cannot take this and will cry Uncle. You probably would find NT4 Server bluescreening a lot on that same hardware for the same reasons. W2K by contrast, was slowed down by poorer, slow scummy coding because Microsoft knew it would be run on a lot of substandard garbage grade hardware.

Installing on two hard drives
I am planning to install FreeBSD 5.3 on one of my computers. I presently have version 5.2.1 installed on another box. The one that I want to install on now has two hard drives.

Re: portupgrade problem in freebsd 4.10

Can you explain (if you know off hand) why make fetchindex would fix the problem (it did without adding the ports)?

A couple of 5.3 questions
Plan to soon move to 5.3 through a backup, fresh install proces.. One of the main reasons I am moving is for the snapshot capability. Reading the man for MKSNAP_FFS(8) I see mksnap_ffs mountpoint snapshot_name Question: Does mountpoint has to be a filesystem or can it be a directory? For example if I have: / /usr /var Can I make a snapshot of /usr/home? Or I can only do /usr? Then I went on to look at how to mount snapshopts, and although found the info, got a little more confused. The mount command has in the man page: snapshot This option allows a snapshot of the specified file system to be taken. So is mount or mksnap_ffs that makes the snapshot? The only reason I am trying to get this info is to know if to make a separate filesystem for files I would like to snapshot. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing on two hard drives
Gerard Seibert wrote: I am planning to install FreeBSD 5.3 on one of my computers. I presently have version 5.2.1 installed on another box. The one that I want to install on now has two hard drives. I would like to install everything except USR on one drive and USR on the other. That would seem to afford me the most advantageous use of disk space. It seems that I was always running low on disk space on the other unit I have in use. Both drives, by the way, are 10 GB in size. I have FreeBSD installed on a system with two disks, where home is mounted to the 2nd disk, while /, /usr/, and /var are mounted to 2 seperate partitions on the 1st disk. My question is how to go about this. This will be a fresh install with no other OS to be taken into consideration. I have checked the Hand Book, but I was not able to find exactly what I was looking for. Then again, I am not the most efficient searcher. I did this by installing BSD to the 1st disk, then using sysinstall to format and create a filesystem on the 2nd disk. After that I just modified the /etc/fstab file so that the correct filesystem would be mounted to /home, then used the command mount /home and it was done. There are precise instructions for adding a disk to an existing system in The complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey. By the way, it is not recommended to have /usr mounted to a seperate filesystem. I believe that the reason for this is because it can cause problems when upgrading a system. Thanks! Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] My girlfriend said to me in bed last night' 'you're a pervert'.

Re: Setting SCSI bus options before reaching fsck at boot time

In the last episode (Nov 12), Tillman Hodgson said:
I'd like to find a way to have camcontrol (or some other mechanism)

Since camcontrol is in /sbin, you can just add a line to the top of
/etc/rc. A cleaner solution would be to write a small /etc/rc.d/
script and add a BEFORE: fsck line so it gets run before fsck.
That seemed like a reasonable approach, so I took a stab at it.
Unfortunately, I haven't worked with custom RCng scripts before and I
can't seem to get the script to run.
Here's what I have (blank lines removed to save some space):
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: camcontrol_start
# REQUIRE: disks
# BEFORE: bgfsck
. /etc/rc.subr
name=camcontrol_tillman
rcvar=`set rcvar`
start_cmd=camcontrol_start
stop_cmd=:
camcontrol_start()
{
echo -n camcontrol_tillman has started
echo -n da0
camcontrol negotiate da0 -R10 -a -q
... (repeated for da1 through da6 (it's a 7 bay JBOD tower)) ...
info camcontrol_tillman has finished
}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1
I also have the following in /etc/rc.conf:
### Tillmans custom RCng scripts
camcontrol_tillman_enable=YES
When I run the following by hand, it works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] camcontrol negotiate da6 | grep freq
(pass6:sym1:0:6:0): frequency: 20.000MHz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] camcontrol negotiate da6 -R10 -q -a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] camcontrol negotiate da6 | grep freq
(pass6:sym1:0:6:0): frequency: 10.000MHz
Yet when I run `/etc/rc.d/camcontrol_tillman start` (or even
forcestart), all I get is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/rc.d/camcontrol_tillman forcestart
# camcontrol_tillman
Aside from the echo statements not outputting anything, a quick check
confirms that it really didn't do anything:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] camcontrol neg da5 | grep freq
(pass5:sym1:0:5:0): frequency: 20.000MHz
I'm assuming that I just don't understand something relatively simple
about the RCng system and that the script is missing something
relatively minor. Anyone care to enlighten me?

The snapshot capability is a filesystem wide thing: ie. you can snapshot a whole partition, not just small parts of it. mount(8) will call mksnap_ffs(8) to create the snapshot -- that's typical of the way mount is designed. When you say 'mount -t foo', you actually end up trying to run a command 'mount_foo' (of which there are about 17 variants available on this 4.10-STABLE system) -- that lets arbitrary new filesystem types be added to the system very easily. Once you've made your snapshot, you can do things like backing up just selected parts of it, no problem. So long as there aren't massive changes going on in that partition, the snapshot shouldn't take up too many system resources. I think what you want would be a very similar concept: file versioning. That's something which is available in eg. Windows Server, but that hasn't been implemented on FreeBSD -- or, as far as I know, on any Unixoid system.

Re: Dual Boot with Windows XP

Thanks a lot, Giuliano The FreeBSD boot loader needs to be installed to whichever drive your BIOS thinks is first(likely your primary master), which according to what you cite above should indeed be the Windows XP drive. The boot loader, if installed through /stand/sysinstall at least, should automatically be configured to recognise both, but be advised that on my XP install(which is partitions on the same drive), the XP shows up as ???. Configuring other boot loaders such as grub is something I've never done myself, so can't really advise on.

Re: Help with boot0
Thanks Henrik and Ruben, Good input from you both. To be sure which HD I'm on, I made (empty) directories in the root of each drive, called (either) ..AD0 or ..AD1. In this way the HD's aren't completely identical, and I can see which one boots. I agree that boot0 shouldn't be on the second drive and I fixed that. However, I couldn't restore the standard mbr until I went to /stand/sysinstall, selected Configure, selected fdisk, ad1, set bootable, write changes, yes, standard mbr, ok. This worked fine. If I interrupt the boot process, at the command prompt I can use the ls command to list files and see the empty directory that confirms which drive has booted. If I boot from the second drive, ad1, then fstab and other files point to ad0, not ad1, and I wind up on ad0, regardless of which drive actually boots. It seems to me that the boot0cfg -o option should force the drive in use to be referred to the boot0cfg option -b 0x80, and then the second drive would be used but called 0x80. This doesn't seem to be the case. Apparently I will have to make some changes to the files on the second drive so that the first drive won't be used at all when the system is booted from the second drive. Which files? To recap, I can use boot0 to boot from either HD. However, when the boot is on the second HD, it still points to (and uses) the first drive as if it was booted there. I have identical files on ad0 and ad1. I would like to be able to boot from (and use the files on) either ad0 or ad1. Help?

Can you explain (if you know off hand) why make fetchindex would fix the problem (it did without adding the ports)? Yes. make fetchindex downloaded a copy of the complete index database from one of the ftp servers, thus bypassing the problem of makeing it on your box. As a side but unrelated question it seems that recent updates to the port colleciton (such as mozilla, mplayer and netscape) have bad values (either size of time stamps) for the objects they are to fetch - do you know why this is happening (aka is it specific to me?) thanks, Alan Hmm. Is that local modification time does not match remote?

I've had it less than a year. Ran windows fine. Ran FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE fine.. 5.3-BETA7 as well. Just started a day or so ago, when I formatted and installed 5.3-RELEASE. Send a complaint to Dell. Dell hasn't been known in the past for support of non-Windows operating systems. When asked why, Dell claims that none of their customers want to run non-Windows operating systems. If you don't complain to Dell then your just supporting their assertation that none of their customers want to run non-Windows operating systems. Now, Hewlett Packard/Compaq, by contrast, not only believes their customers want to run non-Windows operating systems, they even have a public test site - and FreeBSD is on it! See: http://www.testdrive.hp.com Perhaps bringing this up with Dell might spur some attention? I guess some partial failure could have coincided with the install. Oh baloney. I would bet a lunch that if you reformatted your hard disk and reinstalled whatever version of Windows was supplied with your Dell, it would run perfectly. Windows runs on marginal hardware, UNIX does not. Period. Windows does because it's designed to run on marginal hardware - because of people like Dell who cut every corner in the book to get their stuff as cheap as possible, and as a result, have large market share. I did not have the chance to run memtest yet but will today/tonight Another thought... assuming its a hardware issue. I would expect it to manifest itself under greater loads such as when building a port. As opposed to sitting idly while browsing the filesystem with xfe. One example is the OpenOffice port building that took forever... the entire time the CPU was pegged 95%-100%... but nothing hiccuped. even had xfe up, and while browsing the web. Yeah, right. OK go ahead and try to make some logical sense if it makes you feel better. Your wasting your time. Bad hardware is NOT logical in how it fails. I've dealt with many systems in the past that were iffy hardware. Even some that ran earier versions of FreeBSD fine (or more accurately, versions of FreeBSD that were compiled by earlier versions of GCC) then blew chunks on later versions. (more accurately, versions of FreeBSD that were compiled by later versions of GCC) There is never any logic when you have marginal hardware. If you really believe that your hardware has failed then reload Windows and when Windows blows up, call Dell. Your system is still under Dell warranty. They will replace the bad hardware. But I doubt you have failed hardware. I think you have hardware that was designed to run Windows and that Windows was designed to run on - and simply does not include any features that aren't directly required by Windows. Remember, if Dell can save 5 cents by not including a chip that is supposed to be there on an industry standard motherboard, yet isn't required by Windows, they are going to do it. This isn't personal it is just SOP for manufacturers that build the volume that Dell builds. The automakers do it all of the time.

FreeBSD 5.3 BIND 9 newbie question..
I'm trying to setup BIND and the Release Notes say: When the named_chroot_autoupdate variable is set to YES (the default), the chroot directory is automatically configured at the boot time. A symbolic link which points to /var/named/etc/namedb is created as /etc/namedb, and a symbolic link which points to /var/named/var/run/named/pid is created as /var/run/named/pid. The latter can be disabled by using the named_symlink_enable variable in rc.conf. Does this mean I need to put: named_chroot_autoupdate=YES in `/etc/rc.conf`? I'm confused on this part... -- robg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: buildkernel before buildworld
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gert Cuykens Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2004 8:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: buildkernel before buildworld What happens if you first buildkernel before the buildworld ? Depends on which version of kernel you are building on which world. For example, the buildkernel would work nicely if you are building a 5.2.1 kernel on a 5.2 world. However, if you try to build a 5.3 kernel on a 5.2.1 world it is bound to fail. Refer to /usr/src/UPDATING. For the reason of why he compilation would fail. Regards S.

If you have previously finished a buildworld and haven't updated your source tree in the meantime, nothing too bad. With a /usr/obj tree around from the previous buildworld stage, you can add options to your kernel configuration and run buildkernel, or even: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # config -g -d /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM CUSTOM # cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM # make depend make all make install If you have just added a single option to the kernel configuration or have made minor modifications to the kernel source, this will cut down on the build time. A lot. I have used this method while testing kernel modifications and managed to build, boot, and test more than 10 slightly different kernels in less than 3 hours. After an update of the entire source tree though, building a kernel only may end up with a kernel that is not in sync with the userland. Then, a lot of things may break in unexpected ways. See, for example: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.html#NLIST-FAILED If you are not sure things will work without a buildworld, it's wiser to follow the upgrade procedure recommended in /usr/src/UPDATING. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Natd/Gateway=yes vs 5.3
Migrating a 4.10 box. Copied data to a second drive. Installed 5.3 Changed kernel to add options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=50 options IPDIVERT In /etc/rc.conf have firewall_enable=YES firewall_logging=YES # Set to YES to enable events logging firewall_quiet=NO firewall_type=open gateway_enable=YES natd_enable=YES # Enable natd (if firewall_enable == YES). natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf # Set rules file for the NAT daemon natd_interface=ed0 Not only the machine is not acting as a gateway, but it doesn't let me even connect to the internet. Looked at ipfw list and saw 00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via ed0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny log logamount 50 ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 deny log logamount 50 ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 deny ip from any to any Added a pass all rule before the divert and I am able to see the internet from the FreeBSD machine, but not from the other machines. Anything changed for nat between 4.10 and 5.3?
