video playback not working

[Mike Meyer]

I moved a bunch of mpegs (and other video formats) to a 5.4 box
running on a P4 from a 5.3 box running on a Thunderbird of some flavor
or another.

On the 5.3 box, they worked just fine.

On the 5.4 box, they don't display any video. Instead, they display a
black and red checkerboard. I get the same behavior from xine and
plaympeg, so I presume that there is some common library they use that
is causing this problem, but the only video stuff that the two ports
have in common according to make all-depends-list is X.

Both systems running X.org. The 5.3 system had an old nvidea card in
it (Diamond 550, I think). The 5.4 system has on-board SiS video.

Searching google, the FreeBSD bugs database - for bugs with xine and
plaympeg - and the FreeBSD web site all turned up nothing.

I'm sort of at a loss as to how to go about debugging this
problem. Any clues on things to try to figure out what's busted would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
mike

RE: Problem with isc-dhcp3-server and etherboot

[Norbert Koch]

 after upgrading isc-dhcp3-server to 3.0.3, my etherboot bootprom (5.4.0,
 PXE) stopped working. It reports No IP Address.

 Has anyone else observed this? (I will also report this to the etherboot
 ML).

I just upgraded to 3.0.3. I can only report to have no problems with
etherboot 5.2.4.


 After downgrading the package to 3.0.1.r14_6, etherboot is working again.

 Some questions concerning portupgrade:
 - Is there any way to downgrade to a previous version? (In this case i
 was lucky that there still was an old binary package)

sysutils/portdowngrade

 - Is there any config file i can change to make '-b' the default for
 portupgrade?

I don't know that switch to make.

Grub not working

[Valerio daelli]

Hello 
I am trying to install grub as a boot loader on my disk.
I installed it from ports.
When I try to install it on the MBR I get the error

 Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.l
st ... failed

Error 29: Disk write error

I tried to install it with 'grub-install '(hd0)'' and with grub -
root (hd0,a) - setup (hd0).
I tried deinstalling the port and installing from sources (version 0.97).
I don't think the problem is with menu.lst since I am using it with
linux (identical file)
and it works.
Anyone a guess?
Thanks

Shutdown -r now will not reboot pc






Hello,
I'm using FreeBSD 5.3
When I try to reboot the pc with shutdown -r now the system gets as far as 

rebooting and hangs there. Is there maybe a setup in the bios to allow the 

pc to reboot.

Thanks,
Ivan 


I'm not sure I understand you right, but if your kernel has no APM 
enabled, then you'll not be able to automaticaly reboot the machine that 
way. Hope this helps :)

You may set the PORTUPGRADE variable in your environment according to

My question is: I deleted /usr/src, and I cvsup'ed everything. When I do a make
buildworld, why does not the new err.h get copied from /usr/src/include to
/usr/include? This would have solved my problem two weeks ago :)
 


build = recompile things
install = put them where they belong in the filesystem

buildworld doesn't install the file because it's not supposed to.


Does err.h get copied only when you do a make installworld?
 


I would expect so.  Why don't you try it?


Another question, why on earth did I have an old version of err.h? I was running
5.4 RELEASE, and it was installed from an ISO downloaded at FreeBSD.org
 

That does not look like an *old* version, it looks like a completely 
different file.  Did you install anything not from ports that might have 
overwritten it?  Did you try and install a port into a target hierarchy 
that /usr/local?  (The same copyright header as the real 5.4 one exists 
in err.h from 4.11).


Operating system bugs are rare compared to user errors, I'm afraid.

groupadd/useradd in FreeBSD?

[Xu Qiang]

Hi, all: 

I am installing MySQL 4.1.13 into my machine. It has finished successfully. But 
before or after that, I need create some user account rather than root by the 
command groupadd mysql and useradd -g mysql mysql. 

However, these commands are not found in my FreeBSD 5.3 system. 

Any help on this issue?

However, if I copy and paste the echod statement (the first line

 What I do in this cases is create a script called list_args.sh:

 #!/bin/sh
 printf \nlist_args.sh at `date +%H:%M:%S` with \$# = $#\n
 # Process all parameters.
 N=0
 while test $# != 0 ; do
  N=$(($N+1))
  printf \$$N = [%3d] '$1'\n ${#1}

 Then in your script, replace the ldapdelete command with
 list_args.sh.  That way you'll see *exactly* what ldapdelete
 is seeing for parameters, and that might help.

I tried that one, with an echo $* - though I assume the printf prints it
out 'more precise'?  I've come up with a work around - in my slapd.conf I
have quotes around the rootdn, if I take them off it works fine (I did try
it without the quotes around the variable, but that didn't work either,
much confusion)

I'd love to know what was causing the problem, but enough time is spend on
it. I will update the script to strip off quotes when found, which should
sort it out.

I now have the LDAP tools I discussed earlier written. Very rough and
ready, but they do the job I want, so they are 'complete' in that respect!

We have:
  adduser - adds a user, and a group if it does not already exist
  rmuser  - removes a user
  rmgroup - removes a group
  users   - prints a list of users found, or details if a username is
passed
  groups - prints a list of groups found, or details if a groupname is
passed
  passwd - change a user password

They are certainly not ready for an end user, but if anyone wants to make
use of them or polish them up a bit, let me know and I will send them to
you. I will put them up on my site at some point over the week.

Problems with booting MBR

[vdm . fbsd]

In the first disk ad0 (master) of a computer at office I had installed linux
to be used as a postgresql server. Later I installed FreeBSD 5.4 (just to
have a go at it)  on a partition of the second disk ad1 (slave) to be a 
postgrresql
server too.
Linux lilo was the boot loader, booting linux by default and freebsd.
Now, convinced of the high quality of the latter I eliminated linux from
the first disk unfortunately without modifying lilo, and reshuffled the FreeBSD
filesystem as in my latest /etc/fstab using also the first disk:

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options DumpPass#
/dev/ad1s2b noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/ad1s2a /   ufs rw  1   1
/dev/ad0s1a /usr/local  ufs rw  0   0
/dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw  0   0
/dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw  0   0
/dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0

Now, even though I read the booting procedure in the handbook and somewhere
else in the internet, issuing the various fdisk -b B, disklabel -b ..,
boot0cfg .., I was completely unable to modify the MBR and make this FreeBSD
only computer boot directly into this OS.

What should I do with the configuration I have?
A straightforward and step by step explanation is highly appreciated.

P.S. Is it possible that some problems can arise by the fact that I used
an a slice (ad0s1a)for mounting /usr/local and freebsd starts from ad1s1a?

Ciao
Vittorio

RE: cat /dev/urandom

[mdff]

 shell# cat /dev/urandom
 
 can that executed as root cause any harm to the system?  What 
 if a random 
 sequence of `rm *` was generated... would it be executed?
 

the question is: WHAT FOR should someone logged in as root
execute cat /dev/urandom without redirecting the output?

anyway, from my experience of trying this a few times (it does
not matter if on a local console or using a ssh-client) sometimes
there's code left in the commandline afterwards and if you hit
enter, it's executed... directly executed strings i've also seen.
for now, i didn't have the occurrence of any system-command being
generated, but that's random... the unlucky one would get it asap ;-)

if you like to get RANDOM content anywhere use dd instead of cat.
example to erase a whole disk i'd type:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/devicefile bs=1024k
be sure that the devicefile exists, or you'll fill up your /root fs.

You're looking for adduser(8). If you install MySQL from ports, though, 
the user will be added automatically.

Thanks for providing the correct usage of pw useradd. 

At first sight, I thought your pw useradd mysql -g mysql is a typo, which 
misplaced the first mysql and -g option, so I used pw useradd -g mysql 
mysql, but got an error saying pw: user name or id required

Then I man pw, and found the usage of (pw) user add is a little different 
from the standard ones: 
pw [-V etcdir] useradd [name|uid] [-C config] [-q] [-n name] [-u uid]
   [-c comment] [-d dir] [-e date] [-p date] [-g group] [-G grouplist]
   [-m] [-k dir] [-w method] [-s shell] [-o] [-L class] [-h fd | -H fd]
   [-N] [-P] [-Y]

In FreeBSD, it should be pw useradd username -g groupname, and not pw 
useradd -g groupname username. 

Last but not least, thanks for everyone who helped me in this thread.

Nothing, works as advertised. It's a bad habit of manufacturers of

Can someone clarify ipfw's in/out/recv/xmit/via concepts?

  I see in another msg that I'm not the only one scratching my head over

I think you really need to USE ipfw a fair bit to really 'get it', and
maybe even peek at some of the code.  rc.firewall only exemplifies bits
of its capability.  I'm unsure how really thoroughly you've read ipfw(8)

From and to whichever NICs (if any, as Chuck Swiger pointed out) may be
involved with the processing of THIS particular packet.

  Here's a pic of my firewall:

FW should here be visualised _between_ the NICs and kernel/stack, for
incoming and (unless bridging or dummynet one-pass) outgoing packets.
And of course between kernel/stack functions for localhost packets.

  The manpage says we have incoming and outgoing packets.
  In and out of what? NIC or kernel or ipfw or computer?

Good question :)  Think of both passes (except bridging) through the
IPFW ruleset for each packet, coming in and then (maybe) going out.

  The manpage describes:
   recv | xmit | via {ifX | if* | ipno | any}
  
  Is my de0 an ifX or an if*?
  (exact name or device name)
  
  What would be an example of the other?

tun* would refer to all your tun interfaces, say.

  Does ipno mean an numerical Internet address?
  (It's not mentioned elsewhere in the manpage.)

Yes - I won't say 'obviously', however searching ipfw(8) does indeed
define this quite clearly: see under section 'src and dst'

  Does each of my NICs have both of the manpage's xmit and recv
  interfaces, or is one an xmit and one a recv for any one packet rule?

Refer Chuck's response, and the manual section 'interface-spec'.  Read
that section about 10 times till it sinks right in (took me a while!)

  If an incoming packet can be associated with an xmit interface, why
  can't an outgoing packet be associated with a recv interface?

No, you have this one backwards.  This IS clearly if tersely explained
in ipfw(8).  Only outgoing packets can be tested for both recv and xmit
interfaces.  IPFW doesn't know where an incoming packet (recv ifX) is
going yet, subject to routing and until the outbound second pass, if
it's to be forwarded.

  It seems that some people do their blocking of packets
  going from LAN to WAN on (so to speak) the LAN interface, some on
  the WAN interface, and some on both.  It doesn't seem to make much
  difference on a pure firewall, except for rule-writing convenience.
  Right?

Not exactly.  Anything can (and will) happen on the WAN; you have a more
precise idea of what you expect to be happening 'inside'; even so you
should assume at least every type of ignorance, if not malice, 'inside'. 
Hence the importance of (eg) the anti-spoofing rules, inside and out. 

  I suppose it would be best to put blocks everywhere possible
  or at least where the packets enter the computer.  Right?

Spend some more time with the manual; taken as a whole it's pretty good,
and along with some further reading, practical playing will clue you in,
even if peeking at some of the code doesn't.  Try adding a few dozen
'count' rules for all sort of test situations then spend some time with
'ipfw -t show | less'

Question about FreeBsd 5.4 + BIND 9.3.1 and threads

[Freminlins]

Hello,

I have a FreeBSD 5.4R box running BIND 9.3.1 from base on a dual Xeon
with hyperthreading enabled.

According to the man page for named:

   -n #cpus
  Create #cpus worker threads to take advantage of multiple  CPUs.
  If not specified, named will try to determine the number of CPUs
  present and create one thread per  CPU.   If  it  is  unable  to
  determine  the  number  of  CPUs, a single worker thread will be
  created.

Yet I seem to have six threads:

mx01$ ps -xauwH | grep bind
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named
bind   95906  0.0  5.4 58444 56876  ??  SLs   1:16PM 143:20.01
/usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named


Does this mean there is a bug in BIND, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Frem.

Re: Epson 2480/2580 scanner support

 Hi,
 
 Sorry if this question is misplaced, but the sane project hosts no user 
 mailing list, and the hardware list brought no luck.
 
 Looking at the handbook it seems that ny scanner supported by the sane 
 backend is supported on FBSD.
 
 Now, the ports version is 1.0.15, on the sane home page, they list 
 support for version 1.0.13 and the CVS version.
 
 I'm interested in the Epson 2480 or 2580, for the stable version 1.0.13, 
 they are listed with basic/minimal support while the CVS version 
 mentions good/basic support. (snapscan backend)
 
 Can anyone enlighten me as to how well these devices are supported by 
 the ports-version 1.0.15?
 
 Second, on the snapscan web page, they warn:
 
 quote
 05/22/05: Warning!
 I've received a report from a user who was left with a broken scanner 
 after using the Epson 2480 in transparency mode in 2400 DPI with xsane. 
 According to the report the scanner power light went red and the scanner 
 smelled hot. After power-cycling the scanner it was not possible to 
 scan anymore...
 /quote
 
 Can anyone confirm this? and know if the problem has been corrected in 
 newer versions?


I think you should contact the SANE's mailing list for more information
regarding this issue.

Boot page fault - alternative kernel needed?

[Jason Morgan]

I have an old laptop that I am finally trying to get FreeBSD installed on.  It 
was recently running Linux just fine, 
but I am having a tough time getting FreeBSD installed on it.  Here is the 
error I get when booting.  I have typed all 
that is visible on the screen when it crashes.

# Begin

# End

So, my question is: Is this the UHCI driver failing to load (happens at this 
same point every time I try to boot it)? 
Is there any way around this? Possible using a trimmed down kernel to boot?  
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Re: defragmentation in FreeBSD 4.11

[Victor Semionov]

 This is one of the things I find really hard to get Windows users to
 understand.  They just won't believe that a company like Microsoft would
 still be using a filesystem that needs defragmenting if it were possible
 to design one that didn't.  I often wonder why myself - after all, they
 must have put a fair amount of work into NTFS, which at least doesn't
 seem to get corrupted in a power failure.  Did they make a trade-off I
 don't understand, or is it just incompetence - or worse, a deal with
 disk manufacturers to sell more disk?

Why is it unnecessary to defragment UFS?

 Hi all,

 I believe that a kde install using packages where possible is the quickest

Just run it again.

BTW the -P option wont buy you much unless you are using one of the fruitsalad

Re: Problem report rejected

[Qiu Quan]

Thanks to all who helped!

I went to the web form at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html, but
didn't find an appropriate place to attach some file. Then, I noticed
that the GMail's web interface tried to expand tabs to spaces when
forwarding my original message, which was unacceptable.

Finally, I had a go at ssmtp. It supports TLS. Great! So I 'cat'
that PR message into stdin for ssmtp to deliver through GMail smtp
service. And, everything done! :-)

Are you trying to use gmake instead of the original bsd make?
'make -v' should give you 'make: no target to make'
If you use gmake, you see something like

You can see the entire diff at http://pastebin.com/322918

My question is: I deleted /usr/src, and I cvsup'ed everything. When 
I do a make

buildworld, why does not the new err.h get copied from /usr/src/include to
/usr/include? This would have solved my problem two weeks ago :)


build = recompile things
install = put them where they belong in the filesystem

buildworld doesn't install the file because it's not supposed to.


Does err.h get copied only when you do a make installworld?


I would expect so.  Why don't you try it?

Another question, why on earth did I have an old version of err.h? I 
was running

5.4 RELEASE, and it was installed from an ISO downloaded at FreeBSD.org

That does not look like an *old* version, it looks like a completely 
different file.  Did you install anything not from ports that might 
have overwritten it?  Did you try and install a port into a target 
hierarchy that /usr/local?  (The same copyright header as the real 
5.4 one exists in err.h from 4.11).


Operating system bugs are rare compared to user errors, I'm afraid.

As far as I can remember, I have not installed anything that didn't come from
the ports collection. I have only used the ports, and always installed them to
the default directory.

I did not mean that this was a OS bug, and it would be really strange 
if it was

since I can't find any other person that has had the same problem. There must
be an application that overwrote my err.h. I've tried to provoke this error
again, but I can't. I tried to install all the ports on another server 
(until i
ran out of space), but the error did not occur. But with that said, 
there was 20

ports I didn't have enough space to install, so the problem might lie there.

I might be the problem as well, maybe I did something I shouldn't have 
done. But

I can't really see what that should be :) Anyway, the solution is here and I
hope it can help other people that end up with the same problem (if that ever

 only computer boot directly into this OS.

If you're sticking to FreeBSD's boot0 MBR, you'll have to put one on
each disk.  I don't know if boot0 can remember F5 as the default
choice for auto-booting or not.  But one way or another the first
disk's boot0 needs to use F5 to start the second disk's MBR/boot0
which needs to use F2 by hand or from boot0cfg config.

You could also use grub or lilo to do it too, but it's harder to set up.

 P.S. Is it possible that some problems can arise by the fact that I used
 an a slice (ad0s1a)for mounting /usr/local and freebsd starts from ad1s1a?

Only the easy-to-fix problems that you're having.

 Two guesses:

Yes.  It wasn't always this way.

You can make a gruby boot floppy and from its command line, install
to the MBR.  You might have to mess around with storing the grub
files in /boot/boot/grub instead of /boot/grub or something; see
the grub info or just try it both ways.

Yes, it does.  I believe it picks F5 when all the partitions before it

Then put it down as a mystery :-)

If you are worried about it happening again, then just mail yourself the 
head of the file every day from cron.  If it does change, at least 
you'll know better when it happened and might be better able to figure 
out what caused it.


You could also force re-installation of your current ports on the same 
machine, but that might be more time than you care to spend.


--Alex

PS I suppose the clever way would be to head the file, egrep for 
Copyright then egrep -v the correct date (2003) since that will be empty 
when the file is correct.  So you should be able to arrange for the mail 
to arrive only when there is a problem (which might be never again!).

Well, the error message seems to indicate that the
swapper if failing ... but it could be that it's failing
because the previously loaded uhci device code finds
a bug in your hardware --- IANAE,  but IIRC FBSD 5
( you don't say what version you're using) doesn't
always play well with APM, ACPI, or what-not on
some older laptops.

We probably need someone else to tell us the
exact incantation, but you might be able to
'escape to loader prompt' and set the equivalent
of {ACPI_LOAD =0} (like I said, not sure of exact
syntax) before attempting to boot (see loader(8)
in the on-line manual or on another machine).

If you're trying FBSD 5, I've heard of some people
having success with older laptops and FBSD 4.
Otherwise, they can run 5 but without APM or
ACPI support.

Like I said, I can't say for certain that this is
what your issue is, but if you've not got a working
system, it probably can't hurt to futz around with
it a bit.

Hopefully somebody else knows the magic words

Re: defragmentation in FreeBSD 4.11

  This is one of the things I find really hard to get Windows users to
  understand.  They just won't believe that a company like Microsoft would
  still be using a filesystem that needs defragmenting if it were possible
  to design one that didn't.  I often wonder why myself - after all, they
  must have put a fair amount of work into NTFS, which at least doesn't
  seem to get corrupted in a power failure.  Did they make a trade-off I
  don't understand, or is it just incompetence - or worse, a deal with
  disk manufacturers to sell more disk?
 

Microsoft used to claim that NTFS doesn't need defragmentation.  Compared to 
MSDOSFS, that's a reasonably accurate statement, but if you push it hard 
enough, it will still become fragmented.

 Why is it unnecessary to defragment UFS?
 

In normal use, files never become fragmented enough to affect performance.  In 
a (loose) sense, files are intentionally fragmented in a controlled way so 
that fragmentation doesn't cause problems.  If you run fsck on a partition, 
you will typically see fragmentation levels of less than one percent.

Also, keep in mind that in the default formatting, a FreeBSD partition has 8% 
of the disk space withheld from normal users to help keep the disk from 
becoming so full the system can't operate, and it has the side effect of 
helping to prevent fragmentation as well.  It is why df can show a disk being 
as much as 108% full.  It is possible to make this space available for normal 
use if, for example, you are using a partition only for data storage and you 
want to squeeze every last bit of space out of it, but of course there will 
be some performance penalty as it starts to get full.  You can also adjust 
other disk parameters to optimize for your particular needs.  See tunefs(8).

If the disk gets close enough to full, the OS has no choice but to start 
fragmenting things.  Try to keep your disks less than about 90% full (that's 
a number I remember from somewhere -- it's just a guideline and not a firm 
limit).  My /home partition is 95% full according to df (which means it is 
actually a little under 90% full including the reserved capacity), and fsck 
shows 0.1% fragmentation.  Of course, it's a fairly big partition, so it 
still has over a gigabyte of free space.  Even the ISO CD images I downloaded 
a few days ago probably didn't get much fragmentation.

Yes, you can do that. Also of note is that when FreeBSD compiles a 
kernel it takes the old kernel and renames it kernel.old. When FreeBSD 
is booting you can select which kernel to use simpy by entering 
boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel or boot /boot/kernel_orig/kernel. I 
did this when I was tweak the kernel in my laptop. Check the boot man 
page for more info.

 any caveats for this? ( I do off-band access to the server)

Booting using boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel runs as if you were booting 
using your current kernel. I ran my laptop all day on my old kernel and 
did't see any problems.

Re: FreeBSD 5.4+SMP, severe network degredation

 I ran a steady ping on a couple of them while they were running GENERIC,

 I've checked the errata and hardware notes, as well as gnats, and was not
 able to find anything that explains or matches this behavior. We've run
 SMP servers for years, using 4.5-4.11, but we've never seen the network

 Removing option SMP makes the problem go away, but at a very significant

Re: how to run 2 instance of memcached from rc.conf?

 start up 1 process instead of 2.

How are you giving anything different arguments?  I only see one service
configured in your rc.conf.

 So how do I use the same script to run 2 instance of memcached?

So, you have memcached1.sh :

#!/bin/sh

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to run memcached:

rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command=/usr/local/bin/memcached

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1

And then you have memcached2.sh :

#!/bin/sh
#

# PROVIDE: memcached2

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to run memcached:

command_args=-du nobody ${memcached2_flags}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command $1

And you set memcached1_flags and memcached2_flags in rc.conf where you
were setting memcache_flags formerly.

However, unless you really know what you are doing, if you are trying to
run TWO memchached instances, I'd suspect, as another has asserted, that
your understanding of memcached is flawed.  I'd check with the memcached
community to see if there isn't a better way to get things done in the

I tried that one, with an echo $* - though I assume the printf

Well, I also have versions that use an echo instead of printf.
The printf just makes it easier to have a pretty output.

The problem with using a plain 'echo *' is that there are
several different inputs which will produce the same output.

Compare:
echo a b
and echo a b
or  echo a b
and echo a b 

The outputs from `echo' will look the same, but the arguments to
the program are very different.  That's why my script lists out
the exact arguments, with their lengths.  I did that because
sometimes those details matter.  I have solved problems similar
to the one which is frustrating you by using this kind of script.

outside internet. I had this working while I was initially toying with the
card but for some reason it no longer works. This is a new card I have added
to my laptop to enable wireless since the embedded Intel card is not
supported. I also can not ping any machine on the wireless and none of my
other machines can ping me.. Any insight into this would be greatly
appreciated.  One more note, I have installed the Linux-ACU port and it says
I am associated but still gets no communication.

No and yes! There is a minimum block and fragment size. In this case
there were not enough contiguous fragments to enable an 8K file to be
created. Without checking I believe Solaris uses 8K blocks.

 Also, in most situations, buying a big enough disk is far better than
 worrying about what happens when a not-big-enough disk starts to get
 full.

Indeed. But... in the case I linked to there was apparently plenty of
free space, just not enough free contiguous space. The author also
implies that a bigger disk would not solve the problem:

  it creates and deletes tons of small files and thus the fragmentation 
  over a period of time.

As mentioned though I have never seen this myself despite running very
busy mail and web servers with what must be billions of files being
created/deleted in that time.

It certainly grabbed my attention so I thought it may be of interest to others.

Re: FreeBSD 5.4+SMP, severe network degredation

[Benson Wong]

I've been having similar issues after upgrading to the latest
5.4-STABLE. I used to have it running 5.4-STABLE with the GENERIC PAE
kernel. I rebuilt the world, and the kernel and now my bge (1Gbit)
gets a lot of watchdog timeout -- resetting issues.

I have acpi enabled in my kernel as well, perhaps this is also
affecting my server. I can't remember if the config has ACPI enabled
in the kernel. The only other difference I found in my old kernel
(PAE) configs and the generic one that comes with 5.4 is:

nodevice ehci (enhanced USB driver).

I'll try it with the NODEVICE ehci first and see if that fixes the
load / card issues. If not I'll try it with no acpi.

Thanks for the info.

   I've checked the errata and hardware notes, as well as gnats, and was not
   able to find anything that explains or matches this behavior. We've run
   SMP servers for years, using 4.5-4.11, but we've never seen the network
   performance cut in half (or pings go up 10x).
  
   Removing option SMP makes the problem go away, but at a very significant
   performance cost obviously.
  
   Could it be something from -p5? Is this explained/examined in a PR I've
   missed, and if so can I add some information?

Brandon,

Please forgive the obvious questions:

1.  Are you pinging using hostnames or ip addresses?
2.  Does the result of 'ifconfig an0' show an ip address and netmask for 
the wireless interface?  (I'm assuming the wireless interface is an0.)
3.  Was the wireless interface configured manually or did you use 
dhclient?
4.  Is the default gateway set?
5.  Are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf correct?
6.  Did you add the local network hosts to /etc/hosts?
7.  Does your laptop have an active firewall that may be blocking 
packets?

Taking a guess, I'd say that your problem is related to your use of the -s

   This is one of the things I find really hard to get Windows users to
   understand.  They just won't believe that a company like Microsoft would
   still be using a filesystem that needs defragmenting if it were possible
   to design one that didn't.  I often wonder why myself - after all, they
   must have put a fair amount of work into NTFS, which at least doesn't
   seem to get corrupted in a power failure.  Did they make a trade-off I
   don't understand, or is it just incompetence - or worse, a deal with
   disk manufacturers to sell more disk?
  
 
 Microsoft used to claim that NTFS doesn't need defragmentation.  Compared to 
 MSDOSFS, that's a reasonably accurate statement, but if you push it hard 
 enough, it will still become fragmented.
 
  Why is it unnecessary to defragment UFS?
  
 
 In normal use, files never become fragmented enough to affect performance.  
 In 
 a (loose) sense, files are intentionally fragmented in a controlled way so 
 that fragmentation doesn't cause problems.  If you run fsck on a partition, 
 you will typically see fragmentation levels of less than one percent.

Careful, there; fragmentation on a UFS is measuring a completely
different thing than the same term applied to a Microsoft filesystem.  
For UFS, it refers to non-contiguous free blocks (fragments,
actually), as opposed to the Microsoft terminology, where it refers to
non-contiguous blocks within the same file.

Everything you are saying is correct, but it will confuse people who
don't realize the difference.

  What I get from reading this article is that if the use of the file

 No and yes! There is a minimum block and fragment size. In this case
 there were not enough contiguous fragments to enable an 8K file to be
 created. Without checking I believe Solaris uses 8K blocks.

That's correct, and also note that Solaris does not offer the
flexibility in block sizes that is available from FreeBSD.

And it is correct that a small block size will vastly reduce the
ability to hit this fully-fragmented condition.  At a cost of higher
overhead, of course.

  Also, in most situations, buying a big enough disk is far better than
  worrying about what happens when a not-big-enough disk starts to get
  full.
 
 Indeed. But... in the case I linked to there was apparently plenty of
 free space, just not enough free contiguous space. The author also
 implies that a bigger disk would not solve the problem:
 
   it creates and deletes tons of small files and thus the fragmentation 
   over a period of time.

Where plenty of free space is a large absolute number, but still a
small fraction of the disk.  Full fragmentation of the empty space
becomes exponentially less likely as the amount of free space
increases.

Note that when deciding where to allocate a fragment, there are two
possible policies the filesystem can follow: either a space-efficient
method that is more likely to require moving data when a file expands,
or a time-efficient method that will create new fragments more often.
FreeBSD can automatically shift between the two as the filesystem 
moves over or under a threshold percent full value.  Solaris, I
believe, needs to be explicitly changed between the two.

 As mentioned though I have never seen this myself despite running very
 busy mail and web servers with what must be billions of files being
 created/deleted in that time.
 
 It certainly grabbed my attention so I thought it may be of interest to 
 others.

It's an academic curiosity, but not an issue to take into account in
planning your data center.  Planning your filesystem layout, however,
may well be.

Be well.

Dead disk? READ_DMA Failure

[Erik Nørgaard]

Hi,

Please read on although this is a long one... I might panic and
coredump myself if I don't get this fixed.

I have a one year old Hitachi Travelstar 60GB/4200RPM disk. This
night and since then, I get these errors:

ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=48926527
ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=48926527
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out

or

ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=50299455
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
error=40UNCORRECTABLE LBA=50299455

The LBA number varies, but otherwise it is consistent. Eventually
the device is removed from /dev and no disk is accessible,
although mount shows mounted devices.

I have booted in single user mode and run fsck manually multiple
times to correct all found errors, most errors are on /, /usr and
some on /var, yet the problem reappears.

I have tried to reinstall, toggling newfs to recreate /, /usr and
/var hoping that any bad blocks or sectors would be removed or
marked unusable. But the problem remains.

Is there a way I can reformat or fix the disk so that broken areas
will not be used again?

Please, how far from the grave are my data?

Any suggestion on which new drive to choose? I have looked at
Western Digital Scorpio WD600VE 60 GB.

Given the mentioned error, does this indicate an error that would
be covered by standard guarantee? after all the disk is just one
year old...

The system: FreeBSD 5.4, Epia Mini-ITX CL1000, 256MB RAM, 60 GB
HDD.

Thanks, Erik

Re: MySQL - Cannot access as root

 I can access the program as root using: mysql -u root -p and then
 supplying a password at the prompt, but that is about it.

 What can I do to correct this problem? I tried deleting the entire
 package and reinstalling it, but the problem continues. When I first
 installed the program, it worked, but only one time. Obviously, I did
 something, but I do not know what.

The system root user is separate from MySQL's root user.  The system 
root user should not be able to access the database server directly.  I 
think this is true for both MySQL and PostgreSQL.

If you can log in using 'mysql -u root -p [password]', then everything 
is okay to start.  It's not that you did something wrong, rather you 
haven't finished setting up the database for your user.

Database servers aren't like gui text editors.  It's important that you 
read the documentation.  Here are some helpful links:

I'm pretty sure lsof can tell you...

either just plain lsof or maybe with the directory name...

# lsof +D /tmp
COMMANDPID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
postgres 66218 postgres5u  unix 0xd9c93680  0t0  /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
sshd 66325 greg7u  unix 0xd9d02800  0t0  
/tmp/ssh-xIDIHoLn/agent.66325

+D D This  option  causes  lsof to search for all open instances of
directory D and all the files and directories it  contains  to its
complete depth.

Processing  of  the  +D  option does not follow symbolic links within D
unless the -x or -x  l option is also specified.  Nor does  it  search
for open files on file system mount points on subdirectories of D unless
the -x or  -x   f  option  is  also specified.

Note:  the  authority  of the user of this option limits it to searching
for files that the user has  permission  to  examine with the system
stat(2) function.

Further  note: lsof may process this option slowly and require a large
amount of dynamic memory to do it.  This is because it must  descend
the entire directory tree, rooted at D, calling stat(2) for each file
and directory, building a  list  of  all the  files  it finds, and
searching that list for a match with every open file.  When directory D
is large, these  steps  can take a long time, so use this option
prudently.

Sendmail help needed

[Alexandre Vieira]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to get past a standard in sendmail which is very simple. 

I have several machines reporting mails trough local MTA's (sendmail)
in each one of the boxes to our main mailserver. The thing is, I did
not developed the scripts and they are using mailx -s subj user
which normally would try to deliver it to a local account in the
machine. So the question is: Can I, in any way, define that every
user passed on the mailx in every script gets resolved to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and not to a local system account? We have
hundreds of names in the scripts, so aliasing doesn't work for me.

My current hack is defining DR and DS in the sendmail.cf to a static
hostname but that takes redundancy to our mail system since if the
main mailserver is down the backup mail server (higher MX) won't take
any effect.

Any help apreciated
Cheers

need some advice

[dick hoogendijk]

I have the chance to buy a new computer. It will take a long time before
I can do this again.

My options are:

Athlon64-3000+ (Newcastle) on a MSI K8T NEO-FSR board (1Gb 3200 mem)
Athlon64-3400+ (Clawhammer on the same board

Intel Prescott 3.4Mhz on a Intel 915p board (1024 Mb DDRII pc4300
memory)

Is there much difference between the athlon3000/3400 ??
Will the intel platform have (dis)advantages ?

I will run FreebSD on it (compile a lot of ports) and (windows-xp/98se)
for gaming.

Price is important. I.e. buying the athlon3000 gives me the opportunity
to buy something else, BUT if the speed of the 3400+ is much better, I
can buy that other stuff later.. if you see what I mean. I just want a
machine that last a litthle longer...

I.e. the intel MB has a PCIe grahics slot. How important is that (or
not). I will buy a Geforce-6600GT videocard (offer most for less
money..)

Any advice is welcome.

If you don't _ever_ want things to be delivered locally, you can create 
what sendmail calls a null client.  That will send all mail to the address 
you specify.  You can get more details from /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README

Unfortunately I can't run fdisk -u, if that command will wipe out the

I found this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/

It was last updated in January. Has there been more progress on this
front? I wonder if this is all a known problem, and I just overlooked it
because of my understanding that UFS2 is supposed to handle large
partitions.

It won't wipe away the table.  It will just let you edit the existing
table interactively, through a series of questions like:

- Do you want to edit partition 1?
- Do you want to edit partition 2?
- Do you want to edit partition 3?
- Do you want to edit partition 4?
- Do you want to change the active partition?
- Do you want to save your changes to the disk?

Well, the 3400+ will be slightly faster when it comes to number
crunching. They'll be up to par to the Intel chip, but the Intel system
will cost more.

If price is important, why not go for a Sempron 3100+ using the Palermo
core? Granted, it's a bit slower than the Athlon64 3000+, but it does
have an advantage: Under load, it outputs 62W of heat instead of 89W
like the 130nm Athlon64 cores. And of course it only costs half of what
the Athlon64s cost.

 Price is important. I.e. buying the athlon3000 gives me the opportunity
 to buy something else, BUT if the speed of the 3400+ is much better, I
 can buy that other stuff later.. if you see what I mean. I just want a
 machine that last a litthle longer...

You'll have to figure out the sweet spot for yourself really... there
are benchmarks available on the web.

 I.e. the intel MB has a PCIe grahics slot. How important is that (or
 not). I will buy a Geforce-6600GT videocard (offer most for less
 money..)

At the moment, Gaming GFX cards are being released for both PCIe and
AGP, so AGP means no loss yet. By the time you'll get a new GFX card,
you'll probably want to upgrade your CPU as well anyway, which means
upgrading the mainboard...

Wha?!?! Win98?!?! are you insane? The only thing I could see justifying 
that would be playing PSX games with bleem (since it was only supported on 
98), and that's it. Not only that, 98 wasn't built with today's hardware, 
so all in all it will be EXCEPTIONALLY slow performance wise. Heh. I 
remember running win98 on a faster P3 and the fact that it was so horribly 
slow.

Because it is using devfs, I'm not able to create these missing slices in
/dev. Most unfortunately, it appears it uses devfs in single user mode as
well, so I can't test the theory.
