switching ide disk, change disklabel?
Hello, I am adding a new disk to the system to make my /home partition bigger. Currently I have /home on ad0s1e. I will be adding ad1s1e. After I copy all the data from ad0 to ad1 I want to remove ad0 and make ad1 the master on that controller. Will I need to change the disklabel of ad1 to ad0 at that point, or will FreeBSD automagically know what to do? Note that this is all on the second controller, so no booting happening here. Just /home data. uname -a FreeBSD xx..com 4.9-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #1: Tue Jun 8 19:15:51 PDT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DUALP3-RELENG_4_9 i386 Thanks, Alex ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The one in the original tar ball is 45 kBytes long. But the one in the ports tree is 16 kBytes.

However, I didn't see a reference to it un /usr/ports/README, whereas it did advise me that distfiles can be periodically cleaned without ill effect. The FreeBSD 5.1 machine I presently have running doesn't even have a /usr/ports/packages directory. Since I install pretty much everything from the port when I can, and nothing huge was made(except PHP, which I know was compiled anyway), this would still fit with my theory. Is there a README file in your /usr/ports/packages directory? Also, glance at some of the files and see if they look like distribution packages.

Re: can't mount windows partition

Please provide the error text and the output of uname -a if this doesn't work, but... Are you certain that it's a FAT32 disk and not an NTFS? Windows XP, for instance, can use the NTFS file system(my Home edition does by default). That said, there is a problem with your mount syntax. That or I can't figure out exactly what you're typing. I don't know which of your disk partitions is which. I'm going to give examples as though /dev/ad0s1 is the Windows partition and /dev/ad0s2 is the FreeBSD slice; in /dev, such a slice would show up with letters after the slice number to indicate the FreeBSD partition, such as /dev/ad0s2a, ad0s2c, ad0s2d... etc. (I believe b is not currently used, left open for convention; a is for the / partition; and c is swap. This is all convention, but it's convention the FreeBSD installer's auto-partition option in fdisk would adhere to.) Anyway, if the Windows partition is indeed /dev/ad0s1, make sure /mnt/win1 exists and try the following as root: mount -r -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1 This will attempt to mount the device read-only, which may at least be a stepping stone. If this doesn't work, you can also try using NTFS(just in case), thus: mount -r -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1 If either works, then you will be able to: mount -uw /mnt/win1 and update the already-mounted filesystem to read-write. If you can get this working, Mr Kevin Smith has given an excellent example of how to place an entry into your /etc/fstab file. In fact, it might be easier to put that entry in /etc/fstab and then simply type: mount -a to automatically mount the unmounted entries in the fstab. If this doesn't work, please post the exact error text and what you typed to receive it. Also, the output of ls /dev/ad* may be helpful, and as I mentioned above, uname -a never is amiss. -BB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perl undefined symbol errors
Hello, I am having issues with Perl and wondered if someone might be able to help. For example, I installed from ports, anomy-sanitizer. Occasionally I see the following error when run from procmail: /usr/local/bin/sanitizer.pl,/usr/local/etc/sanitizer.cfg /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.so: Undefined symbol Perl_malloc I am using FreeBSD 5.3. All ports were installed straight after an update to ports-all with cvsup. It's difficult for me to debug since it only happens occasionally. Would I be correct in thinking that these errors occur because perl expects it's libs in a different place to where they are in FreeBSD? Is this a known problem and what is the solution?

Is this a bug in gcc, or a feature?
Well, I do not know the precise answer, I'd have to look in the
standards and have no time right now, so I'll just give you some pointers...
gcc -W -Wall code.c - C compiler/you are compiling C code
g++ -W -Wall code.c - C++ compiler/you are compiling C++ code
The source seems a mix of *standard* C and C++: stdio.h does not exist
in C++, it might only be there for legacy code, but it works most of the
times; IIRC const does not exist in *standardized* C...
gcc should ignore that (I guess), unless you specify -traditional.
const exists in C9X, which is not yet an official standard. I think
gcc will support that, possibly with some command line switch or
#define; I'm sure on Debian GNU/Linux some of the library features are
turned on the latter way.

It is of course wrong to pass a pointer to a 'const' object
to scanf in either language. But the syntax is legal and does
not require a diagnostic.

But as for the difference bewtween C and C++ versions at run time
this comes about from the differences in the languages.
You must not assume C is some sort of subset of C++. The languages
are distinctly different and one of the most important differences
is in the meaning of the 'const' qualifier. So the same source has
different meaning and should generate different code!
Is this a bug in gcc, or a feature?
Neither, you are trying to equate two different languages.

FreeBSD 5.3 STABLE SMP Kernel
Hello all, I hope what I have is a simple question. I have a dual proc machine, that I have loaded 5.3 RELEASE on and then updated it to STABLE. While reading the Handbook I see where the GENERIC kernel has SMP built in via the SMP file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf directory. So, to enable SMP for my custom kernel, do I simply need to edit SMP to include my custom kernel name? Thanks in advance, Ron Clark __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: Qpopper errors
Hi, So, anybody don't know what is this? :( My guess... *everybody* doesn't know what this is (although some might know what Qpopper is). Part of your message is missing? :))) Indeed the question could be slightly more specific. :) Part of it can be answered though: Qpopper is a POP3 server. I use it too (v4.0) under FreeBSD 5.2.1 Release i386 and I have no issues with it. I call it from /etc/inetd.conf as follows: pop3stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/libexec/qpopper qpopper To install Qpopper I _think_ I simply used sysinstall and installed it as a package. If this wasn't the case, I simply compiled the port and installed it. Does that answer the question? If not, then please let me know, perhaps I can help to solve further questions...

I just had to add the following, though (I hope it's under the BSD copyright ;-) Scott Long (of the R.E. team) posted a message to hackers@ yesterday entitled My project wish-list for the next 12 months. Lots of technical stuff, but enlightening, rather bold; good stuff. I was especially impressed, however, by Poul-Henning Kamp's response, and as it was directed at non techies, under the copyright ideals of the BSD license, I'd like to repost it here ... [keep in mind this is from PHK, a FreeBSD Developer, and not me. I loved it, though]: PHK I agree on all of the above but I think we also PHK need to have things on the list that doesn't take super PHK hackers, and architectural reviews. So let us add the PHK following points which I think are just as, if not more PHK important for FreeBSDs future: PHK 7. More people writing FreeBSD related articles for PHK online and traditional media. If you have never written PHK a piece about FreeBSD, how about sending something PHK to your local IT trade rag ? Heck, even your local paper PHK will probably run it if you send them a piece. PHK 8. More people stomping for FreeBSD in universities and PHK schools. Have you actually offered the science/IT teachers PHK at the local hi-school to pop around and give a lesson on PHK this open source phenomena to their pupils ? Or call your PHK local college and ask if they need a teaching assistant for PHK their evening courses in IT ? PHK 9. A band of happy 1st line reponders dealing with PRs etc. PHK We're getting better at this, but one way to really gain users PHK is to help them when they need it most: right when they begin. PHK 10. A more dynamic and interesting www.freebsd.org frontpage. PHK Come on, at least we should be able to beat the Congressional Record PHK when it comes to being interesting. PHK 11. More people attending BSDcon conferences. Come to BSDcan2005! PHK come to the next EuroBSDcon or AsiaBSDcon. Or make your own mini PHK conference! Many Linux User groups would welcome you if you offered PHK to give a talk about FreeBSD on one of their evenings. PHK PHK 12. Research/Coding grants (3/6/12 months) from the FreeBSD Foundation PHK and other deep(er) pockets to help some of the heavy lifting happen. PHK We're not only in it for the money, but money surely helps. PHK And I'd like to stress that none of the above requires you to get permission PHK from the core team, just go out and do it! Certainly, Dylan, #8 sounds right down your line; probably #9, #7 too. If I remember college correctly, I didn't have much cash, so #12 is out currently; but I think some of the conferences (#11) even have discounted rates for students ;-) Anyway, welcome to FreeBSD --- I'm sure you can find many ways to help --- and it sounds like all of them would be appreciated by many, and by many of those with whom it might count the most.

linux emulation
I've been wondering about this some time now. The linux compatibility layer (kernel module + linux_base -port) is told to be able to run linux binaries. The handbook even describes for a couple of heavy-duty applications how this is done. However, after reading that part of the handbook and googling around the net, I haven't the slightest idea how I'm supposed to run such program. Let's say I have a program. Should I put it in /compat/linux/somewhere, run it like /compat/linux/somewhere/executable and it just somehow works? Or should I chroot to /compat/linux? How does FreeBSD know when to use linuxemu? How does it handle, say, stuff in /dev? Specifically when there aren't things like ethn in there. Man linux is kinda short. Sorry if my question is reallyreally stupid.

Re: switching ide disk, change disklabel?
If you mean to move the disk containing ads1s1e from primary slave to the primary master then the partition will automatically become ad0s1e. Great. That answers my question exactly. But how are the other partitions in your system organised? Are you currently using ad0s1a, ad0s1b etc.? FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a97M62M27M70%/ /dev/da0s1e 7.7G 6.2G 900M88%/usr /dev/ad0s1e72G66G 772M99%/home procfs4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc So I'm booting off of a SCSI disk da0. I want to replace ad0s1e with the new 300GB monster. These will move with the disk. If you are physically swapping the disk connections these will become ad1s1a, ad1s1b etc. which will be a problem. You'll need to fix /etc/fstab and arrange for a booting MBR on the new disk and arrange for the boot sequence to find your / partition. But not in my case since this disk is just storage I think, right. Actually, when I run the disklabel do I need to use -B at all. I don't need a bootstrap since its not a boot disk, right?

Note this next sentence carefully: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WORKING MEMORY TEST PROGRAM!!! Anyone who tells you otherwise is no friend of yours, because they are making your life hard.

At the very best, if they spend 30 minutes carefully exercising memory, you get a factor that is maybe 10% reliable, and 90% wishful guessing. With that in mind, sometimes, the very best memory test programs can give you better ideas that memory you thought was failing IS failing. The opposite, proving that memory is good, is just totally, totally useless, you cannot take any data home at all about your memory being good. The memory-test programs are not entirely worthless. Just recently we had a lab of PCs where some of them would go wonky and randomly lock up hard. This was happening for months and we couldn't put our finger on the problem. We thought maybe it was something in our Windows build, so we tried booting Microsoft's stand-alone memory tester (yes, they have one, and I'm not sure where I got it, MSDN perhaps?), very similar to memtest86. After a random number of test passes, sometimes 100+ passes (many hours, overnight), some of the machines would lock up. No errors indicated, they just froze. Oops. Definately NOT a software problem. After fiddling around with some of the clock/voltage related BIOS settings, putting new thermal compound between the CPUs and heatsinks, reseating cards and memory, placing the PCs inside a hexagram drawn on the floor and dancing nak... nevermind... we got them to run the tests continuously through our entire 4-day Thanksgiving weekend without problems. For the last 4 days (including today), we haven't had any problems with them. So, these memtest programs can at least be valuable stress-testing tools but be prepared to run them for hours or days at a time before they will catch something. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

The rest of my mail comes from remote accounts or POP3.
If you don't like to read the messages in your logs, you can add two firewall
rules to your firewall-config (assuming you run ipfw):
${fwcmd} add 90 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 113 via lo0
${fwcmd} add 91 reject udp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 512 via lo0
The rules must be placed before the rule where you allow all traffic that goes
via lo0:
# ipfw show | grep lo0
00090 1 64 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 dst-port 113 via lo0
00091 0 0 reject tcp from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 dst-port 512 via lo0
00100 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0
Because the packets are rejected by the firewall now, they do not reach the
point where the kernel processes the code for sysctl MIB log_in_vain on the
packets. So they are no longer logged.
Rejecting maybe prevents sendmail of a 60 second delay, because it no longer
needs to wait for a identd reply. I don't know too much about the sendmail
code, so I'm not 100 pct. sure about how sendmail handles identd timeouts.
When you run a small home-network it's more a kind of academic discussion, you
probably can live with this as is.

now, this syntax error is pretty obvious once I start looking at the
source file. A lot of lines like this:
{ -G,
N_(-Gnumber Put global and static data smaller than number
bytes into a special section (on some targets)),
, 1, CL_COMMON | CL_JOINED | CL_SEPARATE | CL_UINTEGER },
Occur in an array declaration. Thus it seems that at some point that
file is being generated incorrectly. Anyone know what might be to
blame? I'm currently compiling using binary world that I got from 5.3
binary install and a custom (very minimal) kernel from a slightly
fresher RELENG_5_3 cvsup. I have my make.conf entirely commented out
at this point, making sure nothing there is to blame. It's not a
particularly important box, so I'm willing to try pretty much anything
you guys (and the occasional gals) can come up with. Thank you for
your time.

Mozilla breaks atheros?
Hi, I have noted a bit wierd problem. I have a laptop, 128MB ram, of which 16MB are used for graphics. I recently bought a 3Com OfficeConnect card (atheros). If I boot up with the card, no problem, nor if I insert the card after boot - all seems to work as it should. But if I start up Mozilla (with just a blank page) and then insert the card, I get an error: ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0x8800-0x8800 irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 3.6 ath0: failed to allocate descriptors: 12 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 12 cbb0: CardBus card activation failed If I close mozilla and try to reinsert the card, I still get the error, I have to reboot to use my wireless card. The manpage says: ath%d: failed to allocate descriptors: %d The driver was unable to allocate contiguous memory for the transmit and receive descriptors. This usually indicates system memory is scarce and/or fragmented. According to top I have plenty of memory free: Mem: 55M Active, 11M Inact, 28M Wired, 4256K Cache, 20M Buf, 2772K Free Swap: 512M Total, 74M Used, 438M Free, 14% Inuse I have tried this also with OpenOffice writer same result, whereas I have no problems with XEmacs. Since it appears there is free RAM, I guess more RAM won't solve the problem? How do I solve this, other than rebooting? How much memory does the driver need to allocate?

I have sendmail_enable=NO set in /etc/rc.conf, but two sendmail processes are running after boot. 2) How do I set GCC flags when compiling a port. I added CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe to /etc/make.conf, but get an error when building a port. The error is get is env: -pipe No such file or directory 3) I think I might have a permissions problem in my home directory. Certain applications (Firefox and xfce, for exacmple) can't seem to write files under my home directory. I can create files using an editor, and download files, but these two applications fail when trying to modify their configuration options. 4) I installed portupgrade from the port, and built the database using 'pkgdb -f', but whenever I run portupgrade or portversion, it displays a message Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.. and hangs there forever.

Anyone an idea?
You probably need to change the corresponding /dev/usbN device nodes, too (I
must say that, I never tested this with devfs.rules). In my experience
sane-find-scanner steps thru the usb devices and exits, if it hasn't proper
permissions on a usb device node. For real-life scanning apps like xsane and
xscanimage you can define SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE in your environment. This
should stop the apps from stepping thru the usb device nodes.
JFYI:
There is a (dirty) way to work around the needs of adding users to a scanner
specific group. You can set /dev/uscanner0 and the corresponding /dev/usbN to
world read- and writeable via usbd and usbd.conf.
% cat /etc/usbd.conf.my
# Scanners
device Scanner
devname uscanner[0-9]+
attach chmod 666 /dev/${DEVNAME} ; chmod 666 /dev/usb0
detach chmod 660 /dev/usb0
% cat /etc/rc.conf | grep usb
usbd_enable=YES # Run the usbd daemon.
usbd_flags=-c /etc/usbd.conf.my # Flags to usbd (if enabled).
But this method also opens a can of worms:
All devices nodes down to the usb device to where your scanner is connected to
must be set world read- and writeable. ie. when you connect your scanner
to /dev/usb1 the devices /dev/usb0, /dev/usb1 and /dev/uscanner0 must be set
to mode 666. For this reason, I attached my scanner to /dev/usb0. To work
around this, you can define SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE as mentioned above.

Sendmail in the base system
Am running FBSD-4.10p2 with sendmail-8.12.11 in the base system. If I wanted to recompile sendmail with a later DB like Berkley DB-4.2, since its in the base system, what would be the best way of doing this? - Rebuild make/install world without sendmail, then install sendmail from the ports with my choice of DB? - or, just install sendmail-8.13.x from ports with the new DB and then have the system point to the new sendmail???

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 Questions
2) How do I set GCC flags when compiling a port. I added CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe to /etc/make.conf, but get an error when building a port. The error is get is env: -pipe No such file or directory /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf may help you here. Just one quick addend to what epi has stated. Ports are almost assuredly failing because -O2 is unsupported in ports. The ports that are -O2 good generally enable it on WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS or some such tag. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ACPI kills USB mouse
Hi, I've been having a hard time getting my USB mouse to work. Tonight, I accidentally booted without ACPI support, and the USB mouse magically worked. I tried booting with and without ACPI support several times thereafter, and each time, the USB mouse worked if and only if I hadn't booted with ACPI support. Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Is there any sort of information I can gather that might help to narrow down the problem? This is with 5.3-RELEASE, by the way. Thanks in advance for any help.

It is known (at least by myself) that the FreeBSD ACPI support can break all sorts of things if it doesn't happen to agree with your hardware. I think the known workaround is booting with support disabled. -Tabor Kelly ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
