You do not have all the details with ethereal. That's because you are *telling* tcpdump not to sniff them. You are instructing it to take just the headers with the '-s' switch (zero payload: -s0).

Re: printer causing computer to reboot

problem with 'make installkernel' over NFS on FreeBSD 5.4
Hi, I am in the process of trying to do an update of kernel and world on an old machine (machine A), using a newer, faster, machine (machine B). Machine B is set up as an NFS server for machine A. The /etc/exports file on machine B inculdes: /usr -maproot=root:0 -alldirs -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0. Mahine A currently has address 192.168.0.197. Machine B has /usr mounted on a device, not, say, /usr/src. I have followed the following process. While logged onto machine B: cvsup /usr/src cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=config. for machine A Once this is complete, I then log onto machine A and mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS. The /etc/fstab contains: 192.168.0.2:/usr/src /usr/src nfs ro,-i,noauto 192.168.0.2:/usr/obj /usr/obj nfs rw,-i,noauto (Machine B has 192.168.0.2 assigned to it's internal interface). The KERNCONF file is visible on machine A, and the /etc/make.conf files are pretty similar, speifically: CPUTYPE?=pentium CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe COPTFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe NOPROFILE=true COMPAT4X=true KERNCONF=config. for machine A However, when I cd to (the NFS mounted) /usr/src on machine A and enter ... make installkernel KERNCONF=config. for machine A ... the install fails. From what I can see, the program /usr/bin/install core dumps with exit status 4. Looking at the man page for install(1) it seems that there is an issue with fchflags(2) over NFS. The questions are then, is my guess correct, and is there a work around? Also, for info, I'm trying to install 5.4-RELEASE-P7 onto A, while B has 5.4-RELEASE-p6 as it's kernel, but DOES have the FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug update. Any help gratefully received ... Thanks. PS. I did use machine B as the client and machine A as the server, mounted and installed using DESTDIR, but there were a whole lot of warnings about (I think) chflags which certainly didn't look right! ___ Yahoo!

Re: PL 5000 Random Reboots
On Sun, 2005-09-11 at 09:56, Robert Slade wrote: Hi, I have been having problems with random reboots when using the SMP Kernel on the above Quad processor machine. It occurs with bot 5.4 and 6.0B4. It does not happen with a single processor kernel, well not in the last 12 hours. Searching the mailing list and google has thrown up a number of possible causes: a. there was an issue with the SMP kernel under load in 5.3 but the errata says the fix was incorporated in 5.4; b. there appears to be some problems with with the ACPI with some machines. Unfortunately, the SMP kernel needs ACPI so turning it off is not an option. c. there appears to be an issue with some network cards and USB with interupt 'storms'. The machine has 2 network cards both identified in dmesg as Compaq Netelligent 10/100, athough only one is in use. I am getting tl0: tx underrun -- increasing tx threshold to 512 bytes when using vncserver to run xwindows with KDE which maybe related. It looks like the most likely cause is ACPI, SMP or both, but as ACPI relates to interups, the interup 'storm' issue could be impacting. However I do not know enough about the workings of ACPI etc to be able to judge this. It looks to me that there is a number of things I could do to isolate the problem: 1. try building a kernel without SMP but with ACPI to see what effect that has. Question is is this possible with 6.0B4? 2. if the above gives a problem try changing the network cards for another type. 3. fix the underrun issue but I am not sure how to do that. I would be grateful for any comments ideas on the way forward as the machine is quite slow without the SMP kernel. Thanks Rob I know replying to you own messages is a sign of something or other. I have tried the machine with SMP disabled in the kernel and ACPI only. It has been running for over 22 hours with any problems. Next step - trying a new kernel with SMP enabled.

Same here. Unless you are working on a separate disk from the one you are booting the machine you cannot run from the installed copy. To work on the main disk (most likely your case with a laptop), you must make the boot floppies it tells about in the Partition Magic documentation and then boot from them to do the disk slice manipulation. Well, i was able to manipulate the slices while Partition Magic 6.x was running on MS Windows (XP, and probably Me, don't remember about 98), w/o use of floppies or CDs. I could do some things, but not what I needed. Using the floppies made it all work and it was quite straightforward. I was changing slice sizes (shrinking) and slice types. So, ??? jerry - Parv An all windows issue but, word of warning with Partition Magic. I was attempting to merge two slices into one larger with PM versions 7 and version 8, two different PCs (same version MSI MB and Maxtor hdd though, so I'm guessing the issue is one of them) and both failed. All NTFS, WinXP. Be sure to do your backups and whatnot - in both cases the larger second slice was lost completely and backups were the only thing that saved me. Ended up wipe and reload on both. Funny thing is, my boss has reported great success with both versions on various MSI mbs. So, I dunno.

Which CPUTYPE?
I'm a bit confused which CPUTYPE I should be using in the make.conf file. For my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, dmesg shows the following: CPU: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz (1993.54 686-class CPU) and for my web server, dmesg shows the same thing although is has a AMD Sempron 1800BOX3100+ I see in the documentation that CPUTYPE=i686 is for older Pentium types, so does that mean I should use CPUTYPE=i686 (even though dmesg shgows '686-class CPU') And my kernel file then? cpu I686_CPU or I586_CPU. What should I use for my laptop? For my web server?

Shell scripting question
I've written a script to check apache to make sure it's running *and*
logging. One of the variables I create is named DATEHOUR, and it's created
by parsing the output of date in such a way that all I get is the hour
(using awk and cut.) I'm comparing DATEHOUR to LOGHOUR, which represents
the the most recent hour that the log was written to
I've run in to a small problem I'm not sure how to solve. When the hour is
less than 10, the script generates an arithmetic expression error.
Here's part of the script so you can visualize what I'm trying to do:
PROG=/usr/local/sbin/apachectl
LOG=/var/log/httpd-access.log
PID=`/bin/ps -auxw | grep http | grep root | grep -v grep | awk '{print
$2}'`
DATE=`date | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d':' -f1,2`
LOGDATE=`ls -lsa ${LOG} | awk '{print $9}'`
DATEHOUR=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
LOGHOUR=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
DATEMIN=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGMIN=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGGING=1
if [ $((DATEMIN)) -gt $((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then
LOGGING=0
elif [ $((DATEHOUR)) -ne $((LOGHOUR)) ] [ $((DATEMIN+60)) -gt
$((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then
LOGGING=0
fi
When DATEHOUR is less than 10 (01-09), the script generate an arithmetic
expression, variable substition error. I'm pretty certain it's because of
the leading zero, so I'm trying to figure out how to strip that out. I
thought that parameter expansion would do it, but I get some odd (to me)
results.
Assume DATE is 09.
echo ${DATE:0,0}
09
echo ${DATE:0,1}
9
echo ${DATE:1,1}
9
I would have thought that 0,0 would return only the first character and 1,1
would return only the second, but that is obviously not the case.
How can I strip the leading character from the string so that I can test to
see if it's zero?

Re: Shell scripting question
To get the date in the right format you could simply use

I've written a script to check apache to make sure it's running *and*
logging. One of the variables I create is named DATEHOUR, and it's
created by parsing the output of date in such a way that all I get is
the hour (using awk and cut.) I'm comparing DATEHOUR to LOGHOUR, which
represents the the most recent hour that the log was written to
I've run in to a small problem I'm not sure how to solve. When the hour
is less than 10, the script generates an arithmetic expression error.
Here's part of the script so you can visualize what I'm trying to do:
PROG=/usr/local/sbin/apachectl
LOG=/var/log/httpd-access.log
PID=`/bin/ps -auxw | grep http | grep root | grep -v grep | awk '{print
$2}'`
DATE=`date | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d':' -f1,2`
LOGDATE=`ls -lsa ${LOG} | awk '{print $9}'`
DATEHOUR=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
LOGHOUR=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f1`
DATEMIN=`echo ${DATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGMIN=`echo ${LOGDATE} | cut -d':' -f2`
LOGGING=1
if [ $((DATEMIN)) -gt $((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then
LOGGING=0
elif [ $((DATEHOUR)) -ne $((LOGHOUR)) ] [ $((DATEMIN+60)) -gt
$((LOGMIN+15)) ]; then
LOGGING=0
fi
When DATEHOUR is less than 10 (01-09), the script generate an arithmetic
expression, variable substition error. I'm pretty certain it's because
of the leading zero, so I'm trying to figure out how to strip that out.
I thought that parameter expansion would do it, but I get some odd (to
me) results.
Assume DATE is 09.
echo ${DATE:0,0}
09
echo ${DATE:0,1}
9
echo ${DATE:1,1}
9
I would have thought that 0,0 would return only the first character and
1,1 would return only the second, but that is obviously not the case.
How can I strip the leading character from the string so that I can test
to see if it's zero?

Fixing a MBR (and more) that ??? trashed
I recently installed Windows 2000 and FreeBSD 5.4 on an old HP Pavilion XG836. [The FreeBSD installation was a breeze (Kudos to the FBSD hardware team), while w2k was a disaster! But, that's another story...] For reasons of space and cabling (it is a very small box) I put the CD as the master and the HDD as the slave on a single IDE cable so that the HDD was ad1. I dual booted using the FreeBSD Boot Manager. Life was good until I wanted to add another disk. The w2k operating system, when booted, saw the new hardware, installed it, and demanded that I reboot. OK, but when I did, the FreeBSD boot manager was trashed. Its menu looked like: F1 ??? F2 FreeBSD F5 Default: F# I could not boot either operating system. In fact the only keys that did anything were ctrl-alt-del! I removed the new hardware and using Fixit on the 5.4 release CD, I tried boot0cfg -B ad1 This recovered the boot manager, and allowed me to boot w2k, but FBSD wouldn't boot. Pressing F2 in the boot menu still did nothing. Fdisk indicated that the two slices were ok, and the disklabel in sysinstall showed that the partitions in ad1s2 were fine, but the mounting information was apparently gone. If I went into Fixit, disklabel (bsdlabel) indicated that the label on ad1s2 was bad. I was a little surprised, since I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that all the corruption that w2k caused was in the Master Boot Record. I tried fixing it with the disklabel in sysinstall without luck. Back in Fixit mode, I could execute bsdlabel -w ad1s2, I couldn't get bsdlabel -e ad1s2 to work since I couldn't get an editor to run. EDITOR was /mnt/stand/vi, which didn't work and blanking EDITOR didn't work either. Reinstalling FreeBSD brought everything back. Questions: 1. What did/do I need to do to completely fix the Master Boot Record? (Short of reinstalling FreeBSD!) 2. Was the disk label on the FreeBSD slice ad1s2 really corrupted? If so, I tend to doubt that w2k did it; hence, the culprit would be ... me! What did I do? 3. I couldn't get sysinstall to fix this mess - even though I thought it was fixing the FreeBSD partition mount points and applying a new BSD Boot Manager. I couldn't get these fixes to commit. Can sysinstall fix this mess without reinstalling? 4. How do I avoid this situation when I add another disk? (Other than trash the w2k partition.)

The Linuxes tend to run memtest86 from the hard drive; you can do
that on FreeBSD as well. See the following relevant messages:

usb advice
FreeBSD-ers, I'm putting together a new amd64 system and would like to get some feedback on using USB for devices. I have a machine with six USB ports (two on the front) and I would like to use them much as I would on a windows machine. The machine will sit (mostly) as a headless server and only rarely will I need to connect directly to the machine (mostly I will connect using SSH). When I do connect directly, I would love to be able to simply plug in a mouse and keyboard into the two ports on the front of the machine (automount?) and then yank them out when I'm done with my chores. Is this even possible? More importantly, I would like to utilize a USB hard drive connection (maybe one of those hard drive cases for laptops) for creating a nightly backup of the data on my hard drive. I could store much more data than either tape drive of DVD drive and could rotate a couple of disks for additional security. Can FreeBSD handle this or would I seimply need to install the addtional hard drive within the machine itself and use it as a backup? This isn't really an option since the backup would need to go off site (vault storage). I get the feeling that USB support on FreeBSD isn't grand and I'm working with FreeBSD 6.0BETA4 right now and when I tried to automount a USB flash drive, the machine rebooted when I pulled the drive out of the port.
