ports on FreeBSD 4
I realize the ports on RELENG_4 have been EOL'd, but I'm stuck on 4 for one system due to instability currently with the RELENG_6 box that will take its place. I'd like to be able to get a ports tree that represents the state of things just before support for 4.x was dropped. I thought I read that the tag for that was RELENG_4_EOL. I tried using that by going into /etc/make.conf and changing PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile and in /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile, a copy of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile, I changed *default release=cvs tag=. to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_EOL I did a make update in /usr/ports and it started to remove every file under /usr/ports. Yech. I had to go back to using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and do a make update from /usr/src to get a /usr/ports tree back, though now of course that /usr/ports tree doesn't work for 4.x (it expects the new rc.subr stuff for example). I realize I'm treading on retired ground here... but any ideas?

Thanks, that has worked!
Before I always used cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf plus all the user's
$HOME/.login_conf, but just using it on my ~/.login_conf did the
trick. A ~/.login_conf.db file has appeared.
I feel a bit silly for not having come up with it myself. I guess what
confused me was that on another user's account the cap_mkdb compiling
wasn't neccessary, but I don't need to understand that now that it
works for me.
Thanks again.
Christopher
But you are still curious, aren't you?
Yes
AFAIK, there are two possible
explanations:
1) There _is_ a .login_conf.db file in the other user's homedir.
No
2) The other account pertains to a different login class than yours,
which already sets the desired locale and so masquerades the user's
settings being ignored. Dunno if a user can see his own login class. If
you have permissions, can use vipw to find out (if unfamiliar, take a
look to vipw(8) and passwd(5) manpages, notice the 'class' field).
Ernest
Not that I can see. I 'chris' is my login, and 'bill' in another
account that does not have this problem:
; sudo cat /etc/master.passwd | egrep 'chris|bill' | awk -F: '{ print $1,:,
$5,:}'
chris : :
bill : :
; whoami
chris
; ls /home/bill/.login*
/home/bill/.login /home/bill/.login_conf
; cat /home/bill/.login_conf

I dont think so. So you got to recharge the external battery EXTERNALLY after power failure. What's wrong with that? Trickle-charge the battery and ride the computers from the battery at the same time... That's an uninterrupted power supply. A voltage regulator, converter, and a few filters will give you a clean, constant supply. It will last longer, and it's a lot cheaper in comparison. Actually, this is a project of mine that's been on the back burner for years now. I'd like to add a network interface for remote controls, some health checking, and test modes, but would have to incorporate an embedded processor (serial port and/or USB interfaces are just as possible). Being that I've never messed with such, any suggestions as far as a good processor to start with? It doesn't necessarily have to be a processor that will do the whole kit-n-kaboodle. Right now, I'm just looking for something I can learn the basics with. I know it's not a BSD-related question, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks WizLayer This is another approach that seems like it would be practical: Use deep cycle car batteries, trickle charge with solar panels. If a desktop computer can run on square wave generated by dc/ac converter, use that as a power backup system, It would have to have some kind of switching system to detect main power drop and switch to the backup system. Perhaps someone would be willing to, with engineering expertise put together servers that would work on laptop batteries, like a laptop. I do have one machine that has Yellow Dog linux (Mac Powerbook 3400c) that runs 24/7 as my backup DNS server. JK Why settle for a square wave? It's not hard to clean that up, and besides... Wouldn't that bring mayhem and havoc on a scanner (ie, I'm pretty sure that you your screen would do very unhappy things)? LCD screen? don't know. (or a system's power supply over long term? hmmm) As far as the type of batteries, deep cycle marine batteries, whatever. It doesn't really matter except to say that some types can be fully discharged and some would be ruined on a full discharge. The health and monitoring portion of the UPS would have to be designed with those limits in mind (and, hey... That could be part of the embedded mprocessors job, too... more options). Switching power from one source to another is something that I've not had a lot of luck with, esp with sensitive stuff like a computer's power supply (touchy). On the other hand clean, dc power in a parallel circuit is as simple as it gets. Edison had a good idea after all. Look at the battery as your constant source, and work away from that. Your secondary source merely compliments the battery. So long as you use regulators for your other sources, it will stay Clean by default. :) As far as switching power sources from regular charger to something like solar panels, same concept... Don't switch from-to anything. Keep it constantly hooked up in parallel with the battery. Some simple logics could perform circuits acts for the solar panels (if sun is good and elec_co's bad , then close... however you want to hack it.) Same for dis/associating the charger. I just need someone to point me in the right direction as far as embedded mprocessors. I've googled it, and found a few hobby kits, but I'd rather hear it from someone who deals with stuff like this and can suggest a start here. I hate jumping into something only to have to unlearn in order to learn it right. WizLayer PS When I finally get this finished, I'm going to find some way of modifying the BSD license to apply it and release the whole thing to the public. One would only have to buy the parts, program, and assemble the thing... Why? Because UPS prices are a rip-off and some jerk told me I couldn't. :) -- Life is better with a BSD.

kernel_map
Is any way to find out how much kernel virtual address space is used and how much is free? I'm getting troubles overflowing this so I want to know how much of KVA space is free on box. As I understood, complete data on KVA space usage kept in kernel_map object. As it resides in KVA space itself I can access it with kvm_read. But I have no idea of how to determine its address in KVA space. Is any way to do that from userland program? Generally, maybe there is other way to get KVA space usage info? PS: I mean exactly preallocated for buffers KVA space, not memory allocated for buffers. As I see this is different things, as system reserves space in KVA space for maximal size of kernel buffers. And system will crash on boot if buffers limit is too high, and not upon allocating that much space. So I want to know info about that reservation to know how much can I grow buffer limits (especially kern.nbuf). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Best remote backup method?
I'm presently backing up two servers in a remote location to a usb drive
located elsewhere by using rsync over ssh (all three are FreeBSD boxes.)
After the recent discussion about dump, I'm wondering if I would gain
anything by using dump rather than rsync. Has anyone used both? Any
thoughts as to which is better and why?
The rsync command I use is:
rsync -avz ${LOCALDIR} -e ssh -i ${KEY} ${REMOTEHOST}:${REMOTEDIR}

Well, I suppose you could dump to a file and then rsync it to the
other machine...
Basically, I think dump would give you a file over there that
is in dump format and rsync would give you something that
essentially duplicates the file system you are backing up rather
than creating a dump file.
A dump file would be easier to pull back and restore if you had a
major/catastrophic loss of disk and had to replace the disk (or undo
an inappropriate rm -rf *).
Either would be about the same effort restoring a single or handful
of files from backup.

The rsync command I use is:
rsync -avz ${LOCALDIR} -e ssh -i ${KEY} ${REMOTEHOST}:${REMOTEDIR}
Personally I never find dump/restore practical since I seldom want to
backup entire filesystems for performance/diskspace reasons.
I have not found any truly perfect solution; what I am using most often
is rdiff-backup which combines the properties of incremental backups and
rsync. It keeps an up-to-date mirror along with reverse diffs.
The good parts are that:
* It works without hassle right off the bat over ssh. No fuss.
* It is able to backup ownership information without running as root,
because meta-data is stored separately from the files (but at the same
time the up-to-date mirror is a plain tree on disk so you do not
actually have to use rdiff-backup for restores unless you care about
ownership and such).
* Other than using the rsync algorithm for transfers, the actual reverse
diffs are also expressed at a more granular level than entire files. End
result is that a daily backup of that 5 gig log file will not consume 5
gigs of storage per day (but will be very slow to backup).
The main downsides are IMO:
* It's fairly slow. I don't generally see it saturating neither disk nor
networking. Sometimes it's CPU bound, but oftentimes it's just slow
without an obvious bottleneck (probably architectural in the protocol).
* It has some reliability issues. A common problem is that certain
meta-dat is kept in gzip files, and in certain cases of rdiff-backup
being interrupted these files will get corrupted and rdiff-backup will
refuse to function due to the gzip library throwing an exception.
* While it basically works like rsync with history and is thus very
simple to get started with, it does just that. If you want things like
automatic rotation schemes with hourly/daily/etc you have to script that
on top.

Also, what is the model of the drives you're using with this card? 6 Seagate ST3320620AS (320 GB, SATA I) drives and one Maxtor 7V250F0 (250 GB, SATA II). Note that it is a PCI-X card. It works fine in the plain PCI slot on this motherboard, and the place I bought it from said they had tested it in at least one PCI motherboard. By your name you may be in Sweden; so FYI I purchased these cards from Mullet (www.mullet.se). They're the only supplier I have found that carries this locally.

With dumps it is easier to keep different ones around. If you rsync a

Dell Inspiron 1501 Express PCI slot
Greetings to all, Fed Ex delivered a Wistron Neweb CM9 Mini-PCI wireless nic to me today, with Atheros chipset. Made me very happy indeed! U, now I find that it won't fit in the PCI slot in my Dell Inspiron 1501 because Dell no longer uses standard sized PCI slots. They call them Express PCI slots.

Personally I never find dump/restore practical since I seldom want to
backup entire filesystems for performance/diskspace reasons.
That is one reason I divide things up in to more partitions
and thus more specific filesystems. I can isolate the things I
want to back up regularly from those that do not need it.

Very true.
Also, dump/restore allows you to use snapshots on a live filesystem (I would
test it properly on a large FS with heavy activity).
Now, if you are worried about backing up the whole filesystem...well, just
tell dump not to dump it :)
man chflags (in particular, the nodump flag)
man dump (in particular, -h )
having said that, each tool has its advantages i use rdiff-backup for my
laptop, but dump/restore on servers .

Subject: From Michael Sinensky of Proof Pourhouse- the importance of this charity: MaroonEffect.org My sincere apologies for interrupting you during your busy day. I co-organizedMaroonEffect.org with the Manhattan Hokies (the official NYC Alumni Chapter of Virginia Tech), and the David Wright Foundation. The charity is producing a fundraiser this Friday, May 18th at Webster Hall to raise funds mainly for scholarships in the names of the students who were lost on April 16th. Please take a moment to read an email from a parent of one of the victims to understand why we are doing this. People ask, Why donate to this cause? The reason is, we want these young people to be remembered. We would like to create a legacy in the names of these victims whose lives were unjustly taken away. Our goal- to raise $250,000 which will allow us to setup scholarships, for decades to come, in the names of the students and faculty who lost their lives. This legacy we hope will honor these innocent victims and their families, as shown in the email below. Please buy your tickets for our MaroonEffect.org event now or donate if you cannot attend. If you cannot do either, we understand and thank you for taking the time to read about our charity. Please forward this to your friends , family and business associates to spread the word of MaroonEffect. I look forward to seeing you at the tribute event Friday.

Problems installing freeBSD 6.2 on older computer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just acquired an old computer from someone and want to put freeBSD on it. It's a dual processor P2 200 Mhz with 128 MB ram. It has a DVD-ROM and a floppy drive. I was told by the former owner, who built it, that the computer would not install the latest types of Linux installs that required booting from CD. He also told me that the BIOS cannot be updated. He's pretty knowledgeable about computers so I believe him. Here's the procedure I've been following which has been failing for two days now. 1. Use the boot floppy to boot from A: then floppies kern1-kern3 2. After kern3 reinster boot then after hitting enter I get some text, including zf_read: fill error 3. It continues to the BSD Menu - I've tried nearly every option here from Default to ACPI to safe mode to logging mode. 4. it does the device probe - when it gets to the DVD-ROM, it prints out: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 5. Then it gives me: Manual root filesystem specification mountroot I am stuck here no matter what I try. This is driving me nuts! If anyone can help me with this I'd be eternally grateful. Everything I found on google either referenced burning a CD or disabling the Zip drive. Oh, I know these CDs are good media because I've used them to install freeBSD 3 times already.

In regard to SATA controllers.
Hello, folks. I am currently running 6.2-stable on an Intel D965OT mainboard. I've 4 320gb drives, the first being the boot and system drive, the other 3 are running in a raid 3 setup via geom_raid3. All is running well enough. However, I would like to expand my capacity, but this will then saturate the available SATA ports on the mainboard, which means I now have to look for a new controller. On the high end of things (at least for me and my intended application), I've been looking at the HighPoint 2320 PCI Express card. True hardware RAID and native support via. the rr232x driver seems like a nice match. However, in the event of a controller failure, I'm pretty much screwed unless I have a spare controller on hand. Not to mention that if this controller is not made any longer at the time of failure, well, I don't really know what my options would be at that point. Perhaps this is the bane of RAID controllers in general. Then again, my experience level in this sort of application is about nil. On the flip side, since I've had good luck using the geom architecture for RAID 3, my other option would be a regular controller and keeping with the software RAID setup. At least in this instance, if the controller goes south, I can just swap it out with another, and continue on without much hassle. However, in this instance, I would need a few suggestions as to which controller would be best. I've been looking at a few of the lower end HighPoint software RAID controllers as well, such as the HighPoint 2310. I'm uncertain if there is native support for this controller. I do understand that HighPoint does indeed have drivers available for FreeBSD, but if they are binary modules, I'd almost want to stay away from it. I'd much prefer either native drivers or manufacturer drivers in source form. However, failing the above cases, would it be possible to just run this card as a simple SATA controller and continue using geom_raid3? This particular card uses a Marvell controller, so I would guess that it would be detected by FreeBSD without issue. If someone could confirm this, it would be much appreciated. The function of the machine is simple. It's a home NAS for 3 other machines, but also does other light duties as well, so ultimate performance isn't really that much of an issue. As things are now, utilizing geom_raid3, the performance is rather good.
