Do you know if the dhclient does the same as you described in 6? Also, I think that they did away with mfs in version 6. you should (and have?) mount / read-only, then mount /var either as a mfs or nfs mounted read-write. If there is no writable /var, dhclient cannot store the lease - this is true both in 5.x and 6.x. If you look through /etc/rc.d/var (there is an equivalent one for tmp) you will see it has three modes: yes, no and auto. If set to yes, a mfs /var partition is created, if auto, the startup scripts will check if there is a writable /var, if not, then an mfs /var is created - this is default. There are good reasons for using mfs for /tmp and /var, as well as for not: by using mfs you have no cleanup, and no personal data is disclosed if logout causes a reboot every time. However, in particular for /var there are data that is usefull to keep: IIRC latex stores generated fonts there. If you have an mfs /var then the problem mentioned should not cause nfs-mounts to be lost because the lease is stored in the mfs. But if /var is an nfs mount then you may have a problem.

RE: IE in FreeBSD?
-Original Message- From: Frank Jahnke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 10:33 AM To: Ted Mittelstaedt Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: IE in FreeBSD? One example: how do you suggest that complex forms in PDF format are filled out and saved on a FreeBSD system? PDF doesn't belong in complex forms that are filled out online. I didn't say these were filled on on line -- that can be done just fine with OSS or the free Adobe Reader products. What I was talking about was downloading PDF forms, filling them out locally, and saving them. Right now OSS and other free products can fill out forms and have them printed -- they cannot be saved. When the forms are 45 pages or more, treating the computer as a simple typewriter is just silly. You need to be able to go back and edit them. I know of no way to do that with anything other than a proprietary product, such as Acrobat. Well, people did this for years with textfiles before Adobe came along and convinced people that they couldn't use text to do this anymore. In any case if PDF is the issue, then yes you can do this, just download the PDF and edit it with Ghostscript and submit it back. That's fine: the documents I'm describing are downloaded, completed locally, signed, copied, and submitted (an original and six to eight copies). That your company does it differently is wonderful. I don't have a choice in this matter, if I wish to do business with this concern. And I do -- there are $24 billion in proposals that are funded annually that I would like to take part in. In many ways, this sums up the entire disagreement: I'm saying I have a need that I have to deal with. You are saying I shouldn't have that need if they did it properly. In this case, they don't. So I need to deal with it, and some Windows applications work just fine. I'd just like to run them on the computer where I do the majority of my work. I do think that there will remain a lot processing that is done locally, like the web browsing that started this whole thread off, particularly for smaller concerns such as mine. For smaller companies having desktops works well enough, and is probably a better use of resources. It is in my case, where the needs are rather diverse and complex. I think I see the issue here, to speak plainly. You know how to use Acrobat, you don't want to learn how to deal with PDFs with any other tool. You want an emulator so you don't have to learn how to use Ghostscript or any other open source free tool that can deal with PDFs. I can understand all this. What I can't understand is why you think that having the OSS people provide you with a crutch so you don't have to take the time to use Ghostscript and dump Acrobat is in any way helpful to OSS. Why not simply continue to run Acrobat under Windows? Why are you bothering at all with FreeBSD when you don't want to learn how to use the rest of the OSS applications out there? Understand this is a devils advocate question. But, anyone running FreeBSD should be able to answer it. A laboratory notebook is a term of art that describes the legal documentation of laboratory work which is ultimately used for patent prosecution and FDA approvals, among others. An electronic laboratory notebook is simply its electronic version, and there are companies who have tailored products to fulfill patenting and FDA requirements. These are specialized databases where access and modification rights (among other things) are handled carefully, and yes, they are all server-client based, though the client end does process a lot of data from diverse sources (like LIMs-- laboratory information management systems) before it is approved and entered to the central database. Nowhere did I say anything about a notebook computer. Ah. I was pointing out the need for a certain kind of software that is available for Windows that will not be filled by the OSS community. Whether the application will be ported by an ISV I have no way of knowing, but my initial inquiries have not been encouraging. The front-ends on user computers are not that complicated, and can certainly be run under emulation. Could this be created as a bespoke application? Sure. It would make absolutely no sense, though, as procuring all of the required USPTO, PCT and FDA approvals simply costs too much money and takes too much time. That was my point in its original context. An OSS operating system like FreeBSD or Linux is not just only good as a platform for running OSS applications. It's good for that but it's just as good for running the kind of narrow market, sophisticated and expensive applications your talking about. The goal needs to be to knock some sense into the ISVs that produce those applications and tell them you aren't going to buy those apps unless they port to FreeBSD. It shouldn't be to say Oh, those poor babies life is so hard for them, let's make

need an advice on kernel post install
Hello, How to preserve some kernel loadable modules from to be moved to /boot/kernel.old during the kernel 'make install' and leave them in /boot/kernel untouched. The reason is that I have several modules in my system (e.g., kqemu.ko if_ndis.ko, ndis.ko, etc.), which are not the part of the kernel configuration file. They are installed per hand into the /boot/kernel but they are moved automatically into /boot/kernel.old after each '/usr/sbin/config, make clean, make depend, make all, make install' sequence. Did FreeBSD have some facility that will allow to restore the modules automatically? ... i.e., some kind of post-install patching?

Dual boot solution
All, I have a dual boot setup with windows 2000 and freebsd 5.4 (amd64). Everything was set up using ntldr to dual boot so I could learn freebsd meanwhile my wife could still use the computer. I recently wiped 5.4 and installed 6.0B4 and in the setup chose not to load any boot managers (NONE). I finished installing, everything working fine. Until I rebooted. Freebsd booted! So, after googling (lots of misinformation) and trying many things, I thought I would post here to save some poor soul a repeat of the week I have had. First, this is what worked: Boot into freebsd and changing the active partition back to the windows partition (if it is /dev/ad0) ala fdisk /dev/ad0 -a yes 1 (vs 2, the freebsd partition) yes reboot! What didn't work: 1. using sysinstall in freebsd to set the partition as active. For some reason this gave an error. 2. windows recovery CD, fixmdr, fixboot, fdisk /mbr, repair installation of windows 2000 (screwed up windows big time, btw!) Apparently if you do not choose an active partition in sysinstall, it defaults to the freebsd partition. Even if you choose not to alter the MBR. I didn't have an error of ntdlr not found, it was just booting into freebsd right off the bat. Also, some people solve this problem by reinstalling windows, which I am sure when you do this, it sets the install partition to be the active partition. If anyone could add to this I would be interested.

However Knoppix is still using XF86 (probably because it's based upon Debian).

yet despite this, at times - I can't identify a particular event causing
this - my nic hook onto my neighbours AP (which doesn't have an internet

What did I get wrong? Is there a way to exclude my neighbours AP?

I have never filed a PR, do you have a link for how to do that?
Like you mentioned, it is misleading to say the least!
The problem as I see it has a much larger scope: On one hand, you want
to make it easy for people to just install and go. This would tend
toward fewer options, more streamlined, automatically set the active
bit for the freebsd, etc. On the other hand, some people definitely
need control over those issues.
Maybe a solution is to see if a partition is set as active after the
sysinstall disk setup part. If not, instead of defaulting to freebsd,
ask? Are these issues covered in the advanced installation?
I foresee this being a bigger and bigger problem as more people are
enticed to try freebsd but want the familiarity of windows - leading to
dual booting. Basically, they can't/don't want to go cold turkey,
which I can't blame them.
Is sysinstall simply unable to tell which partition is set as active?
Why couldn't sysinstall set the active bit to the other partition?
Thanks,

Reccomendations for FC-attached storage appliance?
[NOTE: cross-posting to freebsd-scsi and -questions ... please reply direct to me, or followup to just ONE list. I may post summary after.] Hello, I have spent the past few weeks confusing around with different vendors to find a cool external disk solution that might offer high performance, and high availability for our production database. My questio is two-fold: 1) Would anyone like to share a preferred storage solution? My dream is something where I can connect two FC controllers to two FreeBSD servers. If one controller fails, or if one server fails, I can still mount the same disks via the redundant server or controller. It sounds like most solutions have the disks on one controller or the other, so if a controller fails, the disks are inaccessible until you swap out the failed controller. The Applex Xserve RAID comes to mind. 2) Would anyone like to share a preferred HBA? I am constantly frustrated by suggested solutions because it seems that every disk appliance only ever supports one HBA. For example, the Apple ... only supports LSI7202XP. My research has found zero evidence that this is supported by FreeBSD. So, if that wont work, I should just run Linux? Or has someone stress-tested their favorite HBA and found it to be totally robust in some configuration ... ? Thanks a bunch!

My first public website - how to secure it for use?
I am grateful for all the assistance I've received to date from this list ... I'm going through a bunch of baptism by fire stuff on FreeBSD - I've used it for basic file sharing, intranet stuff, EASY stuff before. Now, however, I keep getting asked for more robust things. We have been having some ... disagreements with our webhost. Basically, we want him to enable password protection on a site, and he doesn't want to figure out how to do it. I emailed him everything he needs, but he can't be arsed, apparently. I even asked him to email me his config file and I'd update it and send it back - he could then diff it and then update it based on my changes. What would it be, five lines? 10? It wouldn't be much, based on apache's site. Still, no response. Because of our unique relationship with him, my boss feels like the best alternative for now would be having me put up a webserver based on FreeBSD. It'll need PHP and MySQL, which I think I can figure out. I've run apache sites before - 1996 - 2000 I was part of the IT staff of a small website building/hosting company. However, I've never set a box up for internet use myself, and the internet is a vastly different (read: more hostile) place than it was then. This box is basically going to be on its own on the internet. Is it enough to run a firewall like pf and go through the steps outlined at http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/security/harden.php before putting it up to be assaulted?

make a new libdl.so.2 for cgoban2 ?

That means it's not claimed by any port, and you can try just removing it (or safer: put it somewhere where rtld won't look for it) and rebuild. Perhaps you compiled something by hand that installed the libdl - that's a standard library on other platforms (e.g. solaris, I think), and so many configure scripts will look for it and assume it should be linked if found. This is wrong on FreeBSD.

If you have services running that are binding to internet-addressable ports, then you *may* want to firewall them off to minimize attack possibilities. E.g. you're running ssh - so you restrict access to it through the firewall config to a limited number of allowed external hosts.

The thumb rule is to disallow everything else than the services you want to be able to access from the outside. FreeBSD makes it easy with 3 firewalling systems avaliable and pretty decent scripts. Read /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find out more about the options to put to your /etc/rc.conf to enable and quickly configure your firewall.

Re: Recomendations for FC-attached storage appliance?
On Sep 21, 2005, at 2:12 PM, Danny Howard wrote: 1) Would anyone like to share a preferred storage solution? My dream is something where I can connect two FC controllers to two FreeBSD servers. If one controller fails, or if one server fails, I can still mount the same disks via the redundant server or controller. It sounds like most solutions have the disks on one controller or the other, so if a controller fails, the disks are inaccessible until you swap out the failed controller. The Apple Xserve RAID comes to mind. The Xserve RAID does indeed have two separate controllers, each attached to a separate 2GB SBF port, and thus is a single point of failure. On the other hand, having a dedicated channel for each drive rather than hooking them all into the FC mesh is a heck of a lot less expensive than providing completely redundant controllers, dual-loop connections for each storage device, etc, etc. You get what you pay for. If need be, have one set of 7 drives configured as a complete warm backup for the second set of 7 drives, which you can do using higher level software (like the ADIC StorEdge filesystem stuff Apple recommends). It may be the case that you'd be happier with a NAS solution from Auspex, NetApp, etc, rather than trying to roll your own SAN... 2) Would anyone like to share a preferred HBA? I am constantly frustrated by suggested solutions because it seems that every disk appliance only ever supports one HBA. For example, the Apple ... only supports LSI7202XP. My research has found zero evidence that this is supported by FreeBSD. So, if that wont work, I should just run Linux? Or has someone stress-tested their favorite HBA and found it to be totally robust in some configuration ... ? FreeBSD has driver support described in isp (Qlogic 2100, 2200, 2300) and mpt (LSI FC909, 919, 929). I believe the LSI7202XP dual-port PCIX card uses the FC929X controller chip, so FreeBSD ought to support that HBA. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a firewall set up on my laptop, as it is company policy. FreeBSD makes it fairly simple to set up and use with the options in /etc/rc.conf, and I rarely have any need to tweak it. I have a fairly lightly modified CLIENT type firewall. DHCP is an issue, but a quick script at boot can be used to grab the dynamic IP without too much trouble. Otherwise I really do not have performance issues, connectivity problems, etc, that are worth mentioning. I like to keep a decent eye on security, but to my knowledge I have never run into an occasion where someone has tried to hack me into my laptop through wireless or wired, in a way that would work. I have certainly seen attempted MS-Windows hacks, etc. But nothing that would actually effect FreeBSD. I keep the system fairly up to date, and rarely have any problems with security. (The problems I have had, a firewall would not fix anyway.) I highly suspect that I could stop using the firewall all together and it would not make that much of a difference.So do you need a firewall? Probably not. But since it is really not that hard to set up and manage on FreeBSD, I would advise anyone to use one if they can. -- Marius M. Rex Sr. System Admin. Community Connect Inc.

Debugging Apache with mod_auth_pam2 on 5.4
All, I'm having a bit of an issue getting mod_auth_pam2 from the ports collection working with the apache2 port. I've installed the module, uncommented the config lines in httpd.conf, and set up a .htaccess file in the virtual server's top-level data directory... AuthName BXBLIT AuthType Basic require valid-user AuthPAM_Enabled On AuthPAM_FallThrough Off I also set up /etc/pam.d/httpd authrequiredpam_unix.so debug account requiredpam_unix.so debug The only logging I seem to be able to get is via the apache error log, where I see: [Wed Sep 21 15:53:13 2005] [error] [client 161.44.65.27] PAM: user '' - not authenticated: authentication error for each login attempt. I'm not seeing anything at all in messages, auth.log, etc, so I'm not even sure if apache is doing the right things. Everything else is pretty much at install configuration. Any suggestions on things I may want to change (e.g. syslog.conf) to start to peel the edges up on the black box, and get a look at whats going on inside? -Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wrote these words of wisdom: I am grateful for all the assistance I've received to date from this list ... I'm going through a bunch of baptism by fire stuff on FreeBSD - I've used it for basic file sharing, intranet stuff, EASY stuff before. Now, however, I keep getting asked for more robust things. We have been having some ... disagreements with our webhost. Basically, we want him to enable password protection on a site, and he doesn't want to figure out how to do it. I emailed him everything he needs, but he can't be arsed, apparently. I even asked him to email me his config file and I'd update it and send it back - he could then diff it and then update it based on my changes. What would it be, five lines? 10? It wouldn't be much, based on apache's site. Still, no response. Because of our unique relationship with him, my boss feels like the best alternative for now would be having me put up a webserver based on FreeBSD. It'll need PHP and MySQL, which I think I can figure out. I've run apache sites before - 1996 - 2000 I was part of the IT staff of a small website building/hosting company. However, I've never set a box up for internet use myself, and the internet is a vastly different (read: more hostile) place than it was then. This box is basically going to be on its own on the internet. Is it enough to run a firewall like pf and go through the steps outlined at http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/security/harden.php before putting it up to be assaulted?

Question about Bind
Hi Folks, I seem to have basically screwed things up, so maybe I can get some help getting straightened out. For a long time, I ran apache 2 and bind 8.2.5 on FreeBSD 3.2. Granted 3.2 is old, my server was getting older, so I set up a new box and installed FreeBSD 5.3 I did not realise installing FreeBSD would automatically install Bind 9.3. I figured if I needed to run bind I'ld have to install it. I didn't want to make too many changes at once so I installed bind 8.4 from ports. Now I seem to have both bind 8.4 and bind 9.3 installed. Probably not a good situation. What I suppose I ought to do is to uninstall the bind 8.4 and keep the bind 9.3. How do I do that? I have never worked with ports before (although I think I'll like it once I get used to it). Also - and this is a biggie. named and apache do not start on bootup and I NEED this to happen. I have asked for help on this on this list and on the bind usenet group and implemented the syggestions I got but if I reboot the box named and apache do not start. I have to start these manually. My /etc/rc.conf looks like this: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Created: Thu Sep 15 14:11:28 2005 # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Thu Sep 15 09:29:00 2005 # Created: Thu Sep 15 09:29:00 2005 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. defaultrouter=63.162.128.1 hostname=netlink.jellico.com ifconfig_fxp0=inet 63.162.128.4 netmask 255.255.254.0 inetd_enable=YES linux_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES apache_enable=YES named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named named_flags=-u bind -g bind -c /usr/local/etc/named.conf When I reboot I see this in /var/log/messages: Sep 21 17:02:00 netlink named[291]: starting (/usr/local/etc/named.conf). named 8.4.4 Thu Sep 15 16:42:34 EDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/dns/ bind84/work/src/bin/named Sep 21 17:02:00 netlink named[291]: limit files set to fdlimit (1024) Sep 21 17:02:00 netlink named[291]: can't open '/usr/local/etc/named.conf' Sep 21 17:02:00 netlink named[291]: can't open '/usr/local/etc/named.conf' So I log on, start named manually and it starts: Sep 21 17:02:14 netlink su: lisa to root on /dev/ttyp0 Sep 21 17:02:52 netlink named[495]: starting (/usr/local/etc/named.conf). named 8.4.4 Thu Sep 15 16:42:34 EDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/dns/ bind84/work/src/bin/named Sep 21 17:02:52 netlink named[495]: limit files set to fdlimit (1024) Sep 21 17:02:53 netlink named[496]: Ready to answer queries.

Freezes while copying large files over network
Hello, I have got the following problem with FreeBSD, which occured with 5.4- RELEASE (installed from CD) as well as 6-BETA4 (since I learned how to upgrade/compile system and kernel): When I copy large (or many) files (like mpeg-movies or my mp3 collection) over the local network via scp the system freezes very often, where freezes means that the computer does not react to keyboard or mouse input and is not reachable from the network. I can only do a hard reset. Perhaps it is important that these freezes never happen when fetching large files from the internet (like distfiles), but only in the local network (DSL router with the FreeBSD host connected with network cable and my iBook connected over WLAN). This happened with the GENERIC kernel config as well as my own. Anyway, here is the config I currently use: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident LOIS options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET# InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real- time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV# install a CDEV entry in /dev options AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT# Print register bitfields in debug options AHD_REG_PRETTY_PRINT# Print register bitfields in debug options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. device apic# I/O APIC device isa device eisa device pci device fdc device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device da # Direct Access (disks) device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse device vga # VGA video card driver device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support device sc device agp # support several AGP chipsets device npx device apm device pmtimer # ISA Ethernet NICs. pccard NICs included. device lnc # NE2100, NE32-VL Lance Ethernet cards device loop# Network loopback device mem # Memory and kernel memory devices device io # I/O device device random # Entropy device device ether # Ethernet support device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) device bpf # Berkeley packet filter device uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen# Generic device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device sound device snd_sbc device snd_sb16 What I'm curious about is that the driver for the network card (lnc, which I used because the GENERIC kernel used it automatically and it worked) is in the section for ISA cards, but IIRC it is a PCI card. dmesg says: lnc0: PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter port 0xe800-0xe81f mem 0xf0004000-0xf000401f irq 9 at device 13.0 on pci0 lnc0: Attaching PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter lnc0: [GIANT-LOCKED] lnc0: Ethernet address: 00:80:1e:08:0f:75 lnc0: if_start running deferred for Giant lnc0: PCnet-PCI Also looks like PCI, doesn't it? I also sometimes get messages like lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer. May this have something to do with the lock-ups? There is not always such a message before the system freezes and not every message leads to a freeze, but they are both related to copying large amounts of data (over the local network). I'm kind of new to BSD (have some experience with Gentoo Linux), so I do not really know, which further information I could give. Thank you for any hints, what I could try to resolve this. -- Benjamin Braatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to

Graphics driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
I recently bought a Dell Lattitude X1 witch comes installed with the new 915 chipset from Intel. I ofcourse removed windows and installed FreeBSD 5.4(Stable) and everytingh works fine, except the resolution in Xorg. Because i could not find any drivers for the graphics card i had to use the vesa drivers. The screen is supposed to run 1280x768, but i only get 1024x768. Are there any drivers that support this chipset, maybe a patch that can fix the problem? -Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My question is what are the pros and cons of running a firewall on my client, e.g. is it really necessary. A pro would be that a firewall enables you to keep people from accessing your laptop remotely. WiFi connections aren't that secure, unless you encrypt the traffic. So if your laptop is not a server, use a firewall to disable all incoming packets except those related to connections you initiated. That way you can secure necessary services like mail and printing. I mean it's not like I am running Windows and have to bloat it with all McAfee, Zonealarm ad infinitum -- or do I? I've got pf on my workstation. I haven't noticed any performance or network speed loss while using it. So I can see few reasons not to use a firewall. If you're not running windows, don't bother with a virus scanner.

RE: Reccomendations for FC-attached storage appliance?
In a practical sense if a fiber channel card fails on a server, you'd probably want to fail over the cluster to the second node until you resolved the issue. Redundant HBAs require multipath software for the server to properly load balance or fail over the disk IO. If you are considering this level of availability it really comes down to a very limited number of companies, EMC, HP/Compaq or IBM in the PC world. There are many workgroup solutions available, but with workgroup solutions, come workgroup support. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Howard Sent: September 21, 2005 2:13 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reccomendations for FC-attached storage appliance? [NOTE: cross-posting to freebsd-scsi and -questions ... please reply direct to me, or followup to just ONE list. I may post summary after.] Hello, I have spent the past few weeks confusing around with different vendors to find a cool external disk solution that might offer high performance, and high availability for our production database. My questio is two-fold: 1) Would anyone like to share a preferred storage solution? My dream is something where I can connect two FC controllers to two FreeBSD servers. If one controller fails, or if one server fails, I can still mount the same disks via the redundant server or controller. It sounds like most solutions have the disks on one controller or the other, so if a controller fails, the disks are inaccessible until you swap out the failed controller. The Applex Xserve RAID comes to mind. 2) Would anyone like to share a preferred HBA? I am constantly frustrated by suggested solutions because it seems that every disk appliance only ever supports one HBA. For example, the Apple ... only supports LSI7202XP. My research has found zero evidence that this is supported by FreeBSD. So, if that wont work, I should just run Linux? Or has someone stress-tested their favorite HBA and found it to be totally robust in some configuration ... ? Thanks a bunch!

Freebsd 5.4 panic on ffs_blkfree: freeing free frag
I've had this one server crash about once every 1-2 months now for the last 5 months. The kernel is not compiled with debugging symbols (sorry) but the backtrace is probably better than nothing, at least it tells me where to start looking. I found a couple of vague references to this but nothing really helpful. This last crash happened right when I ran pkgdb -F (although there were other things happening as well). I have not run fsck in single user mode throughout all the crashes. I'm thinking that might be a good idea and might possibly fix whatever disk problem is present?

The attached patch should fix this problem for 6-STABLE and 7-CURRENT
systems. If someone could try it for me and let me know if
it works for them, I'd greatly appreciate it.
5-STABLE is sufficiently different that the patch doesn't apply,
unfortunately. It will take me a few days to figure out whether
it's best to work up a different patch for 5-STABLE or whether
I should MFC a lot of work from 6-STABLE to 5-STABLE.
The crux of the problem is that bsdtar compares files on disk
to files in the archive by pathname before it strips leading '/'
characters. As a result, it tries to compare /usr/dir_a on disk
to usr/dir_a in the archive, which fails.
A temporary workaround is to not use absolute pathnames:
cd / ; tar -uf dir_b.tar usr/dir_a/dir_b
Another workaround is to use -P both when creating and when
updating the archive.
The attached patch causes bsdtar to do all pathname editing
before it does the time comparison for -u. I think that
correctly fixes this problem.

results because touch updates high-precision timestamps,
but the default tar format only stores whole seconds.
This seems hard to fix.

As far as i know the only way is to reinstall it correctly. It should pop up an ncurses menu with options. Don't select Apache 2, and it should work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
