Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
The fdisk -I da1 failed with SCSI parity error, so I took another look at the manual for the 9GB drives and noticed that the J-4 pin block (12 pairs of pins where SCSI Device ID's are set) on these drives says Pin 11 is a Disable SCSI Parity Check jumper. I added a jumper on pin 11 on both 9GB drives. This resolved the SCSI parity error (note that SCSI Parity Checking is still Enabled in the SCSI BIOS). Then I did: 1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=1024 RESULT: OK 2) fdisk -I da1 RESULT: ERROR - Output: *** Working on device /dev/da1 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: Geom not found 3) gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da1 (to see what would happen) RESULT: OK! Metadata value stored on /dev/da1. Done. 4) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1s1 bs=512 count=1024 RESULT: OK 5) bsdlabel -w da1s1 RESULT: OK 6) bsdlabel -e da1s1 Confusion on what to do here and why. Your instructions were: Then in the editor it brings up, put all the slice in a: - just copy the c: line and change the type to BSD4.2 from UNUSED and make the [fsize bsize bps/cpg] columns be 2048 16384 28552 Why copy the c: line?

I am not able to initialize da1 and da2 successfully. I went through the process of running FDISK and the Label Editor from the sysinstall menu, both without any error messages, but it does not work! (see the steps I took below) Here are the detailed steps I took and results (FAIL). Did I miss any important steps or do something incorrectly, or is there a problem with these disks?: 1) Boot FreeBSD and login as user root. 2) Start sysinstall from the shell prompt. 3) Select the Configure menu option and run FDISK. 4) Created a single slice (da1s1) on da1, then repeated the process for da2 (da2s1). Both slices are the same size (17912475 blocks). 5) Select Label Disk Label Editor in FreeBSD Configuration Menu. [See attached file containing FDISK and Label settings] 6) I then tried to format the da1s1 partition using: newfs /dev/da1s1d ...which failed with newfs /dev/sa1s1d: could not find special device Is there any reason you were making it a partition 'd:' instead of 'a:' I don't think it would matter, but it might lead to errors keeping track of things when typing in commands.

That is pointing to a hardware problem of some kind. It could be media (disk) or cables or controller failure, etc. Try this and if you still get SCSI parity errors, better open up the box and work on parts. NOTE that those two dd commands are not quite the same. The first writes to da1 and the second to da1s1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=1024 fdisk -I da1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1s1 bs=512 count=1024 bsdlabel -w da1s1 bsdlabel -e da1s1 Then in the editor it brings up, put all the slice in a: - just copy the c: line and change the type to BSD4.2 from UNUSED and make the [fsize bsize bps/cpg] columns be 2048 16384 28552 Then do:newfs /dev/da1s1a If that still gets SCSI errors, then your problems are below the level of the software.

Based on my experience VMware is the most complete VM that can deliver
this. However, there are people working on porting Xen to FreeBSD
(CURRENT I believe, not STABLE).
So stay tuned for Xen if you're interested..

Does Qemu do what you want? I'm installing Windows 2000 Professional
inside Qemu for some experiments. I don't know if it fulfils your USB
requirement, but it's free and I hear it runs on FreeBSD pretty well.
Hope this helps,
Adam J Richardson
I've had a few rounds with Qemu on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, and Windows,
and each time when I try and get stuff setup, it breaks unfortunately
(all of the above except Mac) or is too slow to be usable (Mac, because
of my iBook's processor speed _).
Xen isn't half bad though because it's cross architecture, similar to
Qemu, but with more native emulating speeds. Unfortunately VMWare is
only available for x86 CPUs and friends though, and although someone
offered a bounty for proper Linux emulation of it on FreeBSD, it's
probably going to be a while before it's available (at least until the
linuxalator (sp?) gets fixed a bit more..).
Those are my 2 cents :).

Re: Anti Spam
From: Grant Peel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
I am posting this question here because I know there are alot of ISPs using
FreeBSD (including me) and am hoping to get feedback, either directly to me
or to the list.
We are wrestling (as I am sure many are), with spam. Up until now we have
been employing Spamassassin locally and using some 3rd party Anti-Spam
servervices that are getting less and less reliable as the weeks go by.
We are considering two hardware solutions, Easyantispam and Barracuda.
Barracuda is very expensive, so the most likely candidate is Easyantispam.
Does anyone out there have thought on either or both of these? Usability?
Reliability? Total Cost of ownership? Integration issues?
Any thoughts will be appreciated,
-Grant
For what it is worth I have not heard any good words about Barracuda on
the SA mailing list. I have encountered a considerable number of people
who agree with Barracuda's detractors.
One of the good tools for SpamAssassin is the new FuzzyOCR plugin - IF
you can spare the CPU cycles.
Per user Bayes filtering and rules will always work better chiefly because
of the goose/gander problem - one person's spam is often another person's
ham.
Greylisting is a great tool for ISPs as long as you use a tool that learns
which addresses are real and which are not. In this regard carefully chosen
block lists can also be a great help. When applied, either in SA or in the
MTA, use a scoring system with the block lists so that one agressive list
will not suddenly irritate customers with lost important messages.

Re: random hangs/reboots with Dell servers

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid=0; apicid=00 fault virtual address=0xac fault code=supervisor write,page not present instruction pointer=0x20:0x current process 79962 trap numbers : 12 panic: pagefault cpuid=1 uptime=6d7423m55 I do not believe the problems are related to envriroment or electricity, since during the period the problems occured we have switched data center, and in addition to dell systems there are 150 more nodes from various vendors (HP mostly, but also IBM, supermicro, SUN, and various assembled towers), and none has shown similar behaviour. We dont run FreeBSD on them though. We have a Dell 2850 with Windows 2003 that has been running rock solid for at least 1 year. And the 1750 that under FreeBSD 5 would sometimes crash even under no load, with RHEL 4 pushes 60 Mbps of ftp data 24/7 with ease for the last year without any problems. Disabling everything from BIOS was one of our first moves, though we havent disabled usb since sometimes we need to connect a keyboard. And no IPMI is running on a public interface:) Apart from all the nodes being SMP and Dell, I cannot think of anything else in common. Some are SCSI, some are SATA. All have a number of jails. Memory size is 2 GB (the 1750), the others have 4 GB.

FreeBSD machine instead of wireless hotspot device
I have wireless hotspot device (Handlink WG-601) which I need to replace with FreeBSD machine. The device has following functionality I need to replicate: 1. It has dhcp server (that's easy) 2. It makes NAT between it's internal interfaces and wan interface (easy too, but look at 3). 3. It actually responds on every ARP request coming on it's internal interfaces. That allows it to act as router for machines that instead of using dhcp are configured with wrong static IP addresses. 4. It can use RADIUS for authentication of the users. Actually, non-authenticated users are given IP address (no WPA, TKIP, etc) and when they first try to load a web page are redirected to authentication web-page. Then their username and password are checked against RADIUS database and only then they are allowed to connect to the outer network. Two more things: 1. It was part of a larger wireless hotspot service, sponsored from the government and implemented by outer organization, so buying another with my organization's money is out of the question. 2. I'm aware of the issues with security but again I cannot modify the policy there.

Problems installing 6.2 on Core2Duo (Intel P965): can't mount root filesystem
Hi, I've run into some problems installing FreeBSD 6.2 on my Core 2 Duo machine equipped with a MSI P965 Neo motherboard with a Jmicron 361 RAID PATA/SATA controller, and an Intel ICH8 SATA controller.

The output of dmesg provides a possible clue: real memory = 268369920 (255 MB) avail memory = 257167360 (245 MB) MADT: Forcing active-low polarity and level trigger for SCI ioapic0 Version 1.1 irqs 0-15 on motherboard ioapic1 Version 1.1 irqs 16-31 on motherboard kbd1 at kbdmux0 acpi0: HP HWPC20F on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) unknown: I/O range not supported can't fetch resources for \\_SB_.PCI0.ISA_.SIO_.LPT_ - AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: 32-bit timer at 3.579545MHz port 0x1208-0x120b on acpi0 cpu0: ACPI CPU on acpi0 pcib0: ACPI Host-PCI bridge port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci_link0: BIOS IRQ 10 for 0.15.INTA is invalid Does the dmesg output start with the memory stats? I'd expect MPTable:, Timecounter, and CPU: lines above your quoted material. Definitely have BIOS/OS issues, though. As Chuck suggests, play around with the PnP settings in your BIOS setup, possibly update I've got a box similar to yours, I *think*; unfortunately, it's be on a distant job site for over two years (originally running 5.3-RELEASE with SMP on two Pentium-III Lancewood chips), and it's been so long since I was in the BIOS on that box I've no idea what the settings are. Several possible clues in that snippet, now that I look at it. The MADT line is suspicious but I think the real culprit might be revealed in the can't fetch resources line. On the other hand it might be a completely unrelated problem. Google is silent on the subject of AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE, and I don't see it in the Lehey or Lucas books. Finally, mptable shows what's really going on: MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version StateFamily Model Step Flags 3 0x11BSP, usable 6 8 30x387fbff 0 0x11AP, unusable 6 8 30x387fbff Apparently the application processor is unusable, whatever that means.

Re: FreeBSD machine instead of wireless hotspot device
Angelin Lalev wrote: I have wireless hotspot device (Handlink WG-601) which I need to replace with FreeBSD machine. The device has following functionality I need to replicate: 1. It has dhcp server (that's easy) 2. It makes NAT between it's internal interfaces and wan interface (easy too, but look at 3). 3. It actually responds on every ARP request coming on it's internal interfaces. That allows it to act as router for machines that instead of using dhcp are configured with wrong static IP addresses. 4. It can use RADIUS for authentication of the users. Actually, non-authenticated users are given IP address (no WPA, TKIP, etc) and when they first try to load a web page are redirected to authentication web-page. Then their username and password are checked against RADIUS database and only then they are allowed to connect to the outer network. Two more things: 1. It was part of a larger wireless hotspot service, sponsored from the government and implemented by outer organization, so buying another with my organization's money is out of the question. 2. I'm aware of the issues with security but again I cannot modify the policy there. I'll be very thankful for any ideas. I've done something very similar to this with FreeBSD (nanobsd).

Re: Anti Spam
Hi Grant,
I'm using postfix and a very good sets of pcre rules which takes care of
more than 90% of all spam.
Spamassassin will do the rest. The only spam I receive is on my postmaster
account.
Postfix uses greylisting, a set of rbl lists and a pcre rule set op the helo
check and client_access_check.
At this moment I'm blocking all ips belonging to customers of cable and adsl
networks, because there are the most botnets.

Subject: Anti Spam
Hi all,
I am posting this question here because I know there are alot of ISPs using
FreeBSD (including me) and am hoping to get feedback, either directly to me
or to the list.
We are wrestling (as I am sure many are), with spam. Up until now we have
been employing Spamassassin locally and using some 3rd party Anti-Spam
servervices that are getting less and less reliable as the weeks go by.
We are considering two hardware solutions, Easyantispam and Barracuda.
Barracuda is very expensive, so the most likely candidate is Easyantispam.
Does anyone out there have thought on either or both of these? Usability?
Reliability? Total Cost of ownership? Integration issues?
Any thoughts will be appreciated,
-Grant

Re: Porting a driver from RELENG_6 to RELENG_6_2

Hi,
I have a Marvell Yukon 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet which came with my
motherboard. When looking for it's driver I found that RELENG_6
supports it, and the driver is located at sys/dev/msk/ But I am using
RELENG_6_2.
Is it advisable to take this driver from RELENG_6 to RELENG_6_2? Is
there some established method to get a diff of this driver alone and
apply it to RELENG_6_2?
There is a good chance that you can just copy the files in this
directory from RELENG_6 and it will work on RELENG_6_2 (since those
two versions are still close together). You will also need some of
the changes in sys/conf/ to glue it into the kernel build, which you
can extract from the CVS (see e.g. cvsweb). Or you can copy the
sys/modules/${whatever} directory too and it should be buildable as a
standalone module.
If you are unlucky then the driver may rely on changes made after the
release of 6.2 and you will have to either back-port those changes too
(or just run RELENG_6).
