Hi, It all depends on how you have it mounted. Quotas follow the partition. So if you have /var/mail as its own partition, you need to do it there. If you have /var/mail as a subdirectory of /var than do it on /var. What is the contents of /etc/fstab on the box ? if webmin can read the home directory quota and add to it the /var/mail/$userInbox size then for sure I can do it some how?

nss_ldap and OpenLDAP client version
Hi, I'm about to setup my jails so they authenticate against the 'host' server using OpenLDAP and nss_ldap, pam_ldap and so on. I've done this before but wanted to repeat the process because last time it ended up being so much fiddling that when I finished I just left it alone - this time I'm documenting it :) I packaged up versions of the port for OpenLDAP 2.3 (well, actually 2.4 but that looks to just use 2.3 in any case) and then went to package up the nss_ldap port but its after OpenLDAP 2.2 stuff... I guess my question is whether this is intentional (i.e. security related), or just a port maintenance issue? I would've thought between 2.2-2.3 there's been a few security advisories... I only did a lazy lightning google and came across a few (http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/0947) is perhaps one. Anyway, just thought I'd check. As punishment, if this is a stupid question or has been answered before, happy to write up a tutorial as I go as penance.

Please note that I am new to FreeBSD and have a very limited exposure to using make to build packages. Any links to dealing with portmanager output would be appreciated. Jim I use portmanger all the time. It is simply telling you that you have ports or dependencies that need to be updated and or corrected. Nothing is going to get broken. Run: portmanager -u -f -y -l It will rebuild and update all dependencies and update your any out of date ports. There will be a log file created also -- /var/log/portmanger.log that will be available for your perusal. It is imperative that you update your ports collections just prior to actually running portmanger to insure you do in fact get the latest versions.

Re: Disk Geometry Errors.
One thing that comes to mind, as I read below, is that it appears you
setup the drives for RAID 1. Then you transplanted to them to a RAID 5
controller. Of course the partition data will be wrong. The hidden
blocks the two RAID controllers use are probably different and the
method of storage for RAID 5 is quite different from that used by RAID 1.
(Worse yet, you may have managed to hose the drives so that any data
on them is gone.)

I didn't follow all of this thread, so I may be missing something, but
check the FAQs and the list archives. Geometry error messages and
apparent (but not actual) mismatched have been discussed many times.
Nowdays disk geometry as used by the OS is generally virtual and does
not exactly reflect the actual physical geometry. In other words, from
the point of view of how you use it, unless you are creating special driver
code, the geometry is fiction and, as long as it works, take what the OS
says and ignore any messages from fdisk.
Now, if it is truly failing, you have non-fictional problems.

rc script for Jetty 6
After two days pulling my hair out with Jetty 5 I installed Jetty 6 manually.
It works but there's no real way to start and stop it, so I started writing
an rc script. Eventually I figured out it would be almost identical to the
Tomcat script so I've prepared a modified version (below). Thought I'd post
it in case anyone else uses Jetty 6.
As far as I can see it's almost identical to the Tomcat one but there's two
problems:
- stop doesn't work the same (I've had to put a hack in) because $rc_pid is
not being set. no idea why...
- the process in the output of ps -aux shows in full command line form, like
this:
jetty 69487 ... 2:57PM 0:05.31 /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java ...
while the output for Tomcat shows like this:
www 13404 ... 3:13PM 0:02.20 [java]
(Actually I think the second problem is the cause of the first.)
I'm not much of an rc guru. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

That is the lecture I was getting ready to deliver when I noticed
RAID 5 and RAID 1 with different controllers. RAID 5 and RAID 1 are
not compatible. And there is a good chance that two different breeds
of RAID firmware would store meta data for disk format differently.

or seemed to.)

What should I do in this situation? In the case of dvd+rw-tools or nautilus-cd-burner or gnome2, apparently I have a solid-gold chance to mess up dependencies. What should I do here? Please note that I am new to FreeBSD and have a very limited exposure to using make to build packages. Any links to dealing with portmanager output would be appreciated. Jim I use portmanger all the time. It is simply telling you that you have ports or dependencies that need to be updated and or corrected. Nothing is going to get broken. Run: portmanager -u -f -y -l It will rebuild and update all dependencies and update your any out of date ports. There will be a log file created also -- /var/log/portmanger.log that will be available for your perusal. Thanks for helping me again. Options -f and -y are new to me. From reading the man page, it sounds like all ports will be rebuilt, not just the ones identified in a previous portmanager run. That means perhaps another 38 hour job. Or, is it sufficient to run against the few applications listed near the top of this message? It is imperative that you update your ports collections just prior to actually running portmanger to insure you do in fact get the latest versions. Thanks for the reminder.

Re: Disk Geometry Errors.
The current setup I got in the machine is using 2 SATA (200GB each) with the raid controller that is build into the motherboard (tyan S2885). I wanted to add additional space and I got a Areca 1120 which could hold another 8 sata drives. I only have a 5 bay enclosure so I went ahead and I orderd 5 (300GB) drives. I configure the controller to use Raid 5 with 4 drives and keep 1 as spare in case of a failure. The problem that is bothering me is that the OS works great with the RAID 1 configuration. When I boot into FBSD it all goes ok and I loging and everything , but when I try configuring the RAID 5 disk set using sysinstall fdisk I get the disk geometry error right after selecting the disk set. I am not sure, but is there a way to find out the disk geometry that the controller bios is assuming is the correct one. If there is a way to find that information our, I can just use the G option in fdisk and input the correct disk geometry myself. What aproach is the best one to take in my case. Thank you.

Flashing BIOS/Making bootable DOS filsystem on USB stick
I have a problem with my laptop, and before Dell will consider taking it back, I have to go through their checklist and make sure I've tried everything on that list first. This includes upgrading the BIOS. The problem is that Dell provides the BIOS upgrade in two forms: (a) A DOS executable (b) A Windows self-contained utility to make a boot floppy Since I have neither Windows nor a floppy disk, I'll have to be creative. I thought that maybe I could install some boot code on a USB flash drive, newfs_msdos, and copy FreeDOS along with the executable (a) mentioned above. Problem is: How do I install the boot code on the drive? FreeDOS provides a floppy-image, so I thought I could just dd that to my USB drive, and boot off of that. But I need to put the BIOS upgrade utility on the disk as well, and it is 784 kiB. Could I grow the image? Any pointer appreciated Svein Halvor signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

You have a few options: go to bootdisk.org and download a suitable verision. There are many floppy images there. For instance the win98 diskette version, when booted creates a ramdrive you can switch to, then change the usb disk. Or boot with two usb drives inserted, the bootable one and the one with the BIOS flash utility. Or use a winpe bootable CD. You can find one and information at: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ You can customize the image you build including your Windows BIOS utility.

The problem is that Dell provides the BIOS upgrade in two forms: (a) A DOS executable (b) A Windows self-contained utility to make a boot floppy Since I have neither Windows nor a floppy disk, I'll have to be creative. I thought that maybe I could install some boot code on a USB flash drive, newfs_msdos, and copy FreeDOS along with the executable (a) mentioned above. Problem is: How do I install the boot code on the drive? FreeDOS provides a floppy-image, so I thought I could just dd that to my USB drive, and boot off of that.

Right now to test things out I've basicly put everything into two categories. There's traffic from 10.0.10.10 which is lower priority (this is a download machine) and then there's everything else. The biggest problem I've runinto is that because natd gets the packets first thing the only way to catch outgoing traffic is on the internal network interface. That is if you want to limit based on which internal machine is generating the traffic like in my case. After the divert rule for natd the src-ip field gets changed to my external ip address. This has a side effect of limiting all the traffic on that internal interface, even stuff that is not bound for the internet. I've tried playing around a little bit with the bridged, diverted, and diverted-output commands but can't get any of them to catch the packets. Is there a way to limit outgoing traffic based on which machine owns the traffic internally that doesn't have to be done on the internal interface? Would it be better practice to scan outgoing traffic before the divert rules for natd? I do it on the internal nic. I just have the internal traffic skip those rules. You could do it on the external nic, but this is more complex. You should remeber that the diverd rule changes the ip adress. Scanning outgoing traffic before the divert rule and incomming afther it should work to. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Port old 16-bit Win program to FreeBSD that needs access to core memory
I have an old 16-bit C++ program written for Win 3.1 that I would like to be able to run on FreeBSD. Before I try to port the application, I wanted to know if it would be possible at all. The program needs to directly access the memory range D-D, and as I am new to FreeBSD I don't know if this is allowed by the kernel or if the range is available. The program is for a motor control board (ISA, not PCI) and is designed to communicate with the card by writing directly to the core memory region D-D. It would be best described as an old ISA video card for Windows 3.1/MS-DOS where there is no real driver. The only operation the operating system need to perform separate of the program is to assign the memory region to the ISA card. Is this possible?

Re: OT: Torn between SCSI and SATA for RAID
Hi Chris, I have many of the same questions. SATA is plenty fast for home systems and modern drives are smoking stuff that was enterprise class just a few years ago. 'twas ever thus. Cables are a nightmare IMHO. This was by far the reason I've been a big fan of SCSI for a long time. You can make a pretty effective and tidy Raid system by custom making a short length daisy chain scsi cable. I have not explored this recently but used to do this ~5+ years ago for non-raid applications. We used to run into device compatibility problems on the SCSI bus though so same drive mfg might be a good idea. Perhaps things have improved. You can buy old 80 pin 16 bit SCSI controllers quite reasonably on EBay. Even though the bus speeds might be 40 or 80 MB/sec (that's bytes) this still exceeds what I get on single disk SATA benchmarks. My impression is that modern drives are backward compatible with older SCSI but I've not tested this extensively, just a couple of anecdotes. You can do quite well in the used Enterprise market. You might have a look at pricewatch.com for some low cost SCSI disks. My experience has been that S/P-ATA drives seem to be easily available in large sizes, 300 GB whereas SCSI seems to be available in volume only for smaller drives ~100-200GB. Above is mostly supposition. I have been experimenting with SATA to see what's possible. There are gizmo's, Backplanes, out there that make the cabling issue easier: I have one of these: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA20689 And I'm considering one of these: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA20690 Similar devices are available for SCSI and PATA drives they are a little difficult to find. You can google for backplane, 3X5 and 2X3 that type of thing. I finally got gvinum to work for me under 6.1 i386 RELEASE for Raid 5. The volume manager concept appeals to me because you can work with smaller chunks pieces of storage than whole disks. So with the same set of physical disks you can contemplate different RAID strategies depending on how much performance you want, all at the same time. So far my benchmarks indicate that a 3 partition raid 5 vinum disk performs fine for me. Minimum write performance is around 7MB/s and Minimum read is around 14MB/s. Usually however writes came in on the low side of 15 MB/s and reads around 50 MB/s. This is all just a first attempt though without any attempt to tune the raid set. With two 5X3 backplanes and software Raid 5 you could build PDQ a 4TB system and your drives would not have to be identical. Even with a backplane device though you end up with quite a cable issue. The last option I've considered is to look at some of the SATA to SCSI backplanes. There are commercial solutions that allow you to put SATA or PATA drives up to 12 in an enclosure then connect to your host computer via SCSI. I haven't found anything cheap though. Cheap = 20% of the drive cost. Apple sells such a device as do numerous other manufacturers. Search for SATA Raid.

Re: Disk Geometry Errors.
Usually you have to set RAID configurations in the SATA card's BIOS.
Once its BIOS thinks you have a RAID configuration you have a chance
of proceeding.
(Note that the AGP drivers for that motherboard MAY have problems. The
W-s drivers certainly did when we got one here to setup. I finally
tracked down the problem and it's been a wonderful card ever since. We
have an LSILogic SATA card in it. And that had to be setup in the BIOS
to make it happy. The problem was with AMD supplied AGP drivers.)

From: Lisandro Grullon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The current setup I got in the machine is using 2 SATA (200GB each) with the
raid controller that is build into the motherboard (tyan S2885). I wanted to
add additional space and I got a Areca 1120 which could hold another 8 sata
drives. I only have a 5 bay enclosure so I went ahead and I orderd 5 (300GB)
drives. I configure the controller to use Raid 5 with 4 drives and keep 1 as
spare in case of a failure. The problem that is bothering me is that the OS
works great with the RAID 1 configuration. When I boot into FBSD it all goes
ok and I loging and everything , but when I try configuring the RAID 5 disk
set using sysinstall fdisk I get the disk geometry error right after
selecting the disk set. I am not sure, but is there a way to find out the
disk geometry that the controller bios is assuming is the correct one. If
there is a way to find that information our, I can just use the G option
in fdisk and input the correct disk geometry myself. What aproach is the
best one to take in my case. Thank you. Lisandro

We'd probably need some more information. Does sysinstall crash?

Re: Disk Geometry Errors.
Lisandro Grullon wrote: The current setup I got in the machine is using 2 SATA (200GB each) with the raid controller that is build into the motherboard (tyan S2885). I wanted to add additional space and I got a Areca 1120 which could hold another 8 sata drives. I only have a 5 bay enclosure so I went ahead and I orderd 5 (300GB) drives. I configure the controller to use Raid 5 with 4 drives and keep 1 as spare in case of a failure. The problem that is bothering me is that the OS works great with the RAID 1 configuration. When I boot into FBSD it all goes ok and I loging and everything , but when I try configuring the RAID 5 disk set using sysinstall fdisk I get the disk geometry error right after selecting the disk set. I am not sure, but is there a way to find out the disk geometry that the controller bios is assuming is the correct one. If there is a way to find that information our, I can just use the G option in fdisk and input the correct disk geometry myself. What aproach is the best one to take in my case. Thank you. Lisandro What's still not apparent to me is what the real trouble is. I regularly see the geometry incorrect message from sysinstall, but have not had it fail to write. I'm pretty sure that's what I'm hearing from Jerry McAllister's response, also. I guess my question for Lisandro is, can't you just ignore the error, do the write, and be OK? Of course, I think that if that were the case, this thread would have been over a few posts ago. As for the G option, I can't say it's made any difference for me... Have we seen any diagnostic information? Could we see the relevant section of /var/run/dmesg.boot? How about `ls -l /dev/ad* /dev/ar* /dev/da*` ? `bsdlabel /dev/foo` ?

RE: Intel Mac experiences
James, you missed the point. If you have an Intel MAC it came with MacOS X (tiger) and that is basically the same operating system as FreeBSD. Meaning, what are you trying to gain? If anything, your worse off with FreeBSD since MacOS X comes with a gorgeous user interface that FreeBSD does not have.

My 6.1-RELEASE installation CD gets just past the boot menu and then stops. OpenBSD boots further but not all the way, and Gentoo Linux LiveCD runs great. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Hi, Currently i am using freebsd 5.4. We have a local storage system (EMC SAN AX100). Now i want to that AX100 as my remote storage system. I also need fiber channel host adapter card to communicate with AX100.
