Migrating from reiserfs to ext3
Hello! I have a single 200GB HD that is divided in three partitions, one with FreeBSD, another with Linux and the other with my media. The first two are 10GB, and the latter, 180GB. The problem is that it is a ReiserFS partition, not writable from FreeBSD, so I'll have to change it to, say, ext3, if I'm going to be able to use xMule again. Since I can't backup the whole thing, I'll have to use another method to convert it. I'm using quotes because apparently there is no such utility that converts a given partition to another type. Why is that so? I was thinking about the hard links. Since the partition has some free space and its file hierarchy is quite simple (eg, mp3/baroque/bach/bwv82_1.mp3), wouldn't it work if I resize it to be full, using the freed space to create a new partition, and then, until the first one is empty, move content from it to the newly created, resizing both so that the first one is full again? Anybody ever tried something like that? Are there utilities that could help out, or dangers I need to avoid?

In all but the oldest DVD drives, region encoding is supposed to be enforced by the drive itself, not by your software. You can change the region code setting on your drive a few times, but there is a limit (5 times, I think). Have you succeeded at playing the same DVDs with VLC on a different O/S? All RPC-2 drives behave that way. It is enforced by the firmware, not the hardware itself; and firmware can be hacked / replaced, so that the RPC-2 drive can be flashed to become RPC-1. You'll void your warranty though: http://www.rpc1.org But IIRC, though I may be wrong, mplayer (proably vlc as well) don't care at all about that. They grab the data directly off the drive, and if it's CSS-encoded, they can DeCSS it on-the-fly when linked with /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdcss. I've been able to view out-of-region region-encoded DVDs both on RPC-2 and RPC-1 drives (both old and recent) with mplayer without any problems; and, yes, I've switched regions much more often that just 5 times per RPC-2 drive: no problems at all. I hope I'm wrong, though. The sooner this idiot DRM stuff dies, the better. Yep. Region encoding and CSS are broken anyway and have been no problem for a long time already; the real interesting hacking is now being done on AACS, but that's another story in the neverending race between good and evil. ;-) - Bob Cheers, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OpenLDAP: weirdness with slapd.conf vs. slapd.d/
Hello, while fiddling around with OpenLDAP 2.3.37 as taken from the ports collection I revealed something strange. Looking at the manpage of slapd I was taught that if neither -F nor -f option is applied when the SLAPD starts, default config directory /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d/ is searched for dn=config.ldif. So I did, I configured my own dn=config.ldif file as it is described in chapter 5 and 6 of the OpenLDAP Administrator's documentation. But with FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT and the port I run into something strange not being consistent with the documentation: the start of the slapd server was avoided by an error telling me there wasn't any readable slapd.conf file. What is that? Test with slaptest tells a syntactically correct slapd.d/ directory, but slapd won;t start. Touching an empty slapd.conf let the server start. The documents tell one that slapd.conf is a kind of deprecated, but it seems still in use. On the other hand, typing in the configuration taken from the Administrator's guide of OpenLDAP as found in chapters 5,6 does not work! Strange.

UW's performance and scalability is just fine if you use their *recommended* mailbox format, mbx. It's only if you use mbox (unix) which is provided for transition and backwards compatibility that you experience performance and scalability problems. I have no problem with mailboxes with more than 20K messages in mbx format using UW-IMAP. In my experience, all of the performance complaints about UW-IMAP have to do with people using legacy mailbox formats. UW appears to be the only IMAP server which provides support for such legacy formats, so that is probably why it takes so much blame for the performance problems of such mailboxes. See http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html for Mark Crispin's rant about mailbox formats to help understand the choices made in UW-IMAP.

fsck strangeness
Hello, I'm having some rather strange behaviour with fsck. When I boot the system, it asserts that all the file systems are clean, but subsequently running an fsck on /dev/ad8s1e (mounted as /var) detects errors. Even if this first check is run whilst the file system is mounted, and is hence run in NO WRITE mode, a second check doesn't find block errors. If I then unmount the file system and check the disk, it's fine, as indeed it is if I unmount, remount, then check. However, if I then reboot, the process repeats, and an fsck immediately after reboot will find errors again. If I bring the system up in single user mode, and run fsck either before or after mounting /var, it finds no errors. I'm running 6.2_RELEASE with a custom kernel based upon generic-smp, but with a lot of unecessary bits removed, and geom_mirror compiled in. I don't think it's the drive that's at fault, all the other partitions in the slice are fine, it's a fairly new drive, and it passes a self test quite happily. Included below is a transcript that attempt to show what's going on in detail, is there anything else relevant?

Thanks Eric, Bill, I must have misunderstood, I was under the impression that running fsck on a device with a mounted file system would scan, but not actaully write anything, hence its reporting 'NO WRITE'. I'll reread the fsck manpage. Is running fsck -B /dev/ad8s1e safe, as I understand it, this creates a snapshot of the filesystem and scans that.

Silly Sendmail Tricks
Under FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE, among other things, I had this in my access file: # Throttling Defaults # GreetPause: 2000# Set in the .mc file ClientRate: 10 ClientConn: 10 # Don't throttle 127.0.0.1 or LAN traffic GreetPause:127.0.0.10 # Time to wait before 220 msg ClientRate:127.0.0.10 # Connections/interval ClientConn:127.0.0.10 # Concurrent connections GreetPause:192.168.00 # Time to wait before 220 msg ClientRate:192.168.00 # Connections/interval ClientConn:192.168.00 # Concurrent connections Now, I've switched to FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE and it seems that the semantic of 0 means no limiting is no longer supported. With the configuration above, the system starts throttling traffic generated on the localhost when, say, a mailing list manager starts firing off a bunch of message. I have to change things to: ClientRate:127.0.0.11000 # Connections/interval ClientConn:127.0.0.11000 # Concurrent connections (I've not changed things for 192.168.0/24 because nothing on that network sends email directly - or they shouldn't be - it all is routed via the FreeBSD host.) This fixed things - I can now send large volumes of email from localhost. But, I wonder why the old setting does not work.

Re: Migrating from reiserfs to ext3
Hello Konrad, On Sat, 18 Aug 2007 05:51:19 -0300 Konrad Scorciapino [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello! I have a single 200GB HD that is divided in three partitions, one with FreeBSD, another with Linux and the other with my media. The first two are 10GB, and the latter, 180GB. The problem is that it is a ReiserFS partition, not writable from FreeBSD, so I'll have to change it to, say, ext3, if I'm going to be able to use xMule again. Since I can't backup the whole thing, I'll have to use another method to convert it. Well, migration from ReiserFS to EXT3 is not really a question for FreeBSD list. :) They are both native to Linux; ReiserFS is fully implemented in Linux only. You might consider using UFS2 instead of EXT3 -- but I'm not sufficiently sure if write support in Linux is still marked as experimental (it was some time ago). I'm using quotes because apparently there is no such utility that converts a given partition to another type. Why is that so? I was thinking about the hard links. True, with a couple of not very interesting exceptions (it's possible to convert EXT2 to EXT3 in place, and pure little window$ has a built-in convertor from FAT32 to NTFS) -- as far as official conversions are concerned; for unofficial, see below. (Let someone corrects me if I'm mistaken, but it's not possible to convert UFS to UFS2 in place.) Since the partition has some free space and its file hierarchy is quite simple (eg, mp3/baroque/bach/bwv82_1.mp3), wouldn't it work if I resize it to be full, using the freed space to create a new partition, and then, until the first one is empty, move content from it to the newly created, resizing both so that the first one is full again? I think it's the best for you to do so. How much free space you have there? You can shrink ReiserFS partition either from Linux or, maybe easier, using GParted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net). Please note that GParted surrently cannot resize Reiser4 partitions. Or, if you are extremely brave, you can try http://freshmeat.net/projects/convertfs/ (I wouldn't do it.) Anybody ever tried something like that? Are there utilities that could help out, or dangers I need to avoid? Every utility dealing with partition resizing will tell you to backup your data first if you really need them. Since you can't do that, I'd suggest reading ReiserFS manual and careful deciding what tool to use for shrinking. But this is a Linux part of your job. However, if you end up with one or two UFS2 partitions, then further work with them will be a different story and you'll certainly get much more answers. :) Nikola Lečić ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I boot the system, it asserts that all the file systems are clean, but subsequently running an fsck on /dev/ad8s1e (mounted as /var) detects errors. Even if this first check is run whilst the file system is mounted, and is hence run in NO WRITE mode, a second check doesn't find block errors. If I then unmount the file system and check the disk, it's fine, as indeed it is if I unmount, remount, then check. However, if I then reboot, the process repeats, and an fsck immediately after reboot will find errors again. If I bring the system up in single user mode, and run fsck either before or after mounting /var, it finds no errors. I'm running 6.2_RELEASE with a custom kernel based upon generic-smp, but with a lot of unecessary bits removed, and geom_mirror compiled in. I don't think it's the drive that's at fault, all the other partitions in the slice are fine, it's a fairly new drive, and it passes a self test quite happily. Included below is a transcript that attempt to show what's going on in detail, is there anything else relevant? Can anyone suggest what might be going on and how to fix it, or suggest some slightly better diagnostics? Apologies if this is an RTFM issue, I have had a good dig through the handbook, but can't seem to find anything that helps. Running fsck on a file system that has been mounted read/write will almost always report spurious errors and can really screw up the disk if it tries to 'correct' those errors. I'm a bit confused by this. I've been running 'fsck -n' over FreeBSD systems since 2.2.6, and modulo seeing the at-the-time inconsistencies on those filesystems in /etc/fstab that are mounted, as Chris reported and as are expected, I've never had a problem with it, nor seen the sort of inconsistent results between runs that Chris is reporting. You should normally not run fsck on a mounted filesystem and you should *NEVER* run fsck on a filesystem that has been mounted read/write. This seems to imply that using the -n switch may have different results than not using it and having fsck determine 'NO WRITE' itself from the fact that it's noticed that the fs is mounted? Are you suggesting by can really screw up the disk if it tries to 'correct' those errors that fsck might WRITE to a mounted fs that it's showing as 'NO WRITE'? I've never had any screwups with it, but then I've always specified -n. Later Bill Moran said: Don't run fsck on mounted filesystems unless they're mounted read-only. Although, it's possible I misunderstood your description of the problem. so I'm still curious, and am wondering if Chris using SMP kernel and/or geom_mirror might have anything to do with this? Or whether his use of 'umount -f' might be (or cause) the problem indicated by his results? # umount -f /var # mount /var Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
