RE: SATA question
Looks like it isn't detecting it as a generic controller. But I think this is the problem. Note that the system is applying ata2 and ata3 to atapci0, and ata0 and ata1 to atapci1. This is backwards, I've not seen this before in the ata driver. Normally, ata0 and ata1 are applied to the first controller - atapci0 - and ata2 and ata3 are applied to the second controller - atapci1 - and so on. Søren Schmidt put the support in for this chipset to the ata driver. I'd file a PR and put it down to a driver bug.

I took the liberty of cleaning up you post. Please fix your line wrap! One
word per line is not what I call easy reading.
I had a working minimal FreeBSD system until I put it behind a wireless
router. Since then, my network is not accessible anymore when I boot
BSD. On the same desktop I have a Gentoo Linux system which works just
fine, even if I didn't touch any of it's configuration files after I
installed the router.
The router is a ZyXEL P-335U connected to a cable modem. The desktop is
plugged into a LAN port. A laptop connected by wireless has no
problems. The router gets it's IP from the ISP and acts as a firewall
and a DHCP server to my network: it serves a pool of 32 addresses
starting at 192.168.1.33. Its own address is 192.168.1.1. The IP
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
The configuration files for FreeBSD are shown below. The output of
ifconfig and netstat are also shown for BSD and Linux.
What I don't understand is the fact that having the same router
settings, Linux works while BSD doesn't: I can't even ping 192.168.1.1,
while the same ping in Linux works.
I read the handbook and various other BSD information sources
on the web and I could not solve this issue.
My question is: which config files do I have to edit in FreeBSD and what
settings should I use ? Can anybody help ?
The reason seams to be a completely broken configuration of dhclient.conf
resulting in several problems. Among them that two boxes get the same IP
address. Both your BSD and you Linux box have 192.168.1.33.
/etc/rc.conf
---
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP
hostname=localhost
---
/etc/dhclient.conf
---
interface
dc0
{
send
host-name
localhost;
request
subnet-mask,
broadcast-address,
routers,
domain-name-servers,
domain-name,
time-servers;
require
domain-name-servers;
}
---
The problem is probably you sending that name localhost which should
never have any other address than 127.0.0.1. Why did you play with the
settings anyway? Normally a dhcp-client works right out of the box. I have
never had to change any of the configurations - ever.

Chris

Strange HDD order
Greetings programs! I have a computer here with 10 HDDs. Four of them are connected to the southbridge of the mainboard. The other 6 are connected to two Promise SATAII 300 TX4.

Which ports that is when both controllers identify as a single controller is another question. From what you show it looks like all the odd-numbered ports are on one controller and all the even-numbered ports are on the other.

From the FreeBSD manual:

Make absolutely sure your environment has no extraneous cruft from
earlier builds. This is simple enough.
# chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr
# rm -rf /usr/obj/usr
# cd /usr/src
# make cleandir
# make cleandir
I had tried cleaning build tree as described above and building again.
It was of no help.
Here are the steps I followed.
1. Cleaned up using following script clean.sh
--
chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr
rm -rf /usr/obj/usr
cd /usr/src
make cleandir
make cleandir

2. Cvsup latest sources using cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/supfile (attached).

7.0RC1 - more panics, hardware?
Ok guys, frustrating one here. I installed 7.0RC1 on the system that I've been trying to make into my new server (it's a home thing, natd, email, apache, mysql, firewall, you know, fun stuff) and it has now failed catastrophically twice. The first time I was convinced it was the hard drive. This time though, I'm not. All of this hardware *tests* ok, that means memtest, seatools, etc find no problems with the hardware. But this hardware has been around for a while. What I'm looking for is an opinion - I watch the lists, and I've seen a few other page faults and trap 12's etc, but it looks like as a whole, people have having pretty good luck with 7.0RC1. Is there certain hardware I should look out for with 7.0, for instance, I have a nic using the re driver - is that ok? I know I can panic my desktop (6.2) using the nve card in it. One thing I have to point out is, I've had strange things come up on the console with this machine - USB errors for instance. And there is absolutely nothing USB hooked up to this machine, although it does have USB hardware. Bottom line: Do I keep exactly the same hardware, and try 6.3? Do just get new hardware (hey, lets face it, hardware is cheap, especially when all I need is a box to sit there and run with two nic's in it, a console output and a cd drive). Is there anything in particular anyone would like me to try with this system before I take it out back and shoot it? (seriously, current state:) The server boots, and miraculously enough, it routes internet traffic to the rest of my network. However, it's hosed it's file system but good, which is what it did last time too - trying to log into the console results in: /usr/bin/login: No such file or directory. I've booted in single user mode and fsck'd it. I'm certain that at most, it's hanging on by a thread. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Behind a router revisited
I edited my original post for the wrapping problem and, as a result of
Christian Baer response, I tried the default settings, so now I have the
original (empty) /etc/dhclient.conf. Same result.
I had a working minimal FreeBSD system until I put it behind a wireless
router. Since then my network is not accessible anymore when I boot BSD.
On the same desktop I have a Gentoo Linux system which works just fine,
even if I didn't touch any of it's configuration files after I installed
the router.
The router is a ZyXEL P-335U wired to a cable modem. The desktop is
plugged into a LAN port. A laptop connected by wireless has no problems.
The router gets it's IP from the ISP and acts as a firewall and a DHCP
server to my network: it serves a pool of 32 addresses starting at
192.168.1.33. Its own address is 192.168.1.1. The IP Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0.
The configuration files for FreeBSD are shown below.
The output of ifconfig and netstat are also shown for BSD and Linux.
What confuses me is the fact that having the same router settings, when I
boot in Linux the network is usable, while in BSD it's not: I can't even
ping 192.168.1.1, while the same ping in Linux works.
I read the handbook and various other BSD information sources on the web
and I could not solve this issue.
My question is: which config files do I have to edit and what settings
should I use ?
Thanks,

Physically the first four drives in the top list (the two WDCs and the two Samsungs) are connected to the first controller. The two Seagates are connected to the second. In that case my guess on how they were numbered seems wrong. FreeBSD seems to think that the two Samsung drives are connected to ports 1 and 3 on the first controller, while the two WDC drives are connected to ports 2 and 4 on the same controller. The two Seagate drives appear to be connected to ports 2 and 4 on the second controller, with ports 1 and 3 on that controller being unused. This may or may not be the same numbering of the ports as shown in the manual for the controller (and possibly printed on the card itself.) If it is the same, then all is fine, and working just as it should. If it is different then there is a bug somewhere. If this bug is in the controller, the manual for the controller, or FreeBSD's ATA driver is not something I can answer. Using Google to search for 'Promise SATA300-TX4 port numbers' indicate that this is a problem that several other people have encountered with this controller with both FreeBSD and LInux. The ports on the card are labeled 1-2-3-4 but are detected as 3-2-4-1 Try experimenting by changing which disk is connected to which port and see if you can get the behaviour you want. I don't really want or nead any behaviour in particular. This is just a matter of what's in the fstab. I was more wondering how this could be and if this order (and thus the device names) will stay constant or if the OS could get funny ideas after a csup and change this again, which would certainly mess up my directory tree. It should stay constant unless there would be some change specifically in how the ATA driver enumerates the ports on this controller. I was also wondering about the gap there is in the device names. The first controller should get ad4,6,8 and 10. But then, the second should get 12 and not 14. What happened to 12? 12 is probably one of the two ports you are not using.

Re: Strange HDD order

The four drives connected to the southbridge are in the right order (this also means they have the device names ad0 to ad3). The drives connected to the other controllers are a different story. The two controllers cooperate well and identify themselves as one controller only. So I get only one message showing all the drives.

Regards, Chris Is the concern with the apparent out-of-order numbering based on how you want to access these devices in areas like fstab? If so, I suggest using glabel(8) to label the drives and then address them by their labels elsewhere in the system. I think there may be cases where glabel won't be able to help, but it should work for many usage scenarios.

Re: Looking for a Text on ZFS
I already read that before I posted my question. Neither by this text, nor by the one in the Wikipedia could I participate in the exitement around ZFS. Ok, so it's a 128Bit FS. Big fat, hairy deal! I couldn't see that's like 64-bit soundcards that have to be better than 32-bit, while most of them was unable to actually get past 13-14 bit (most past 12) with it's signal to noise ratio. any advantages in using it instead of FFS (UFS), but I thought I was ZFS is better because: 1) you make create 1000 of filesystems without partitioning. so lots of admins that think more partitions=better are happy. you may set quota for each filesystem 2) it takes many drives to the pool and you may add then new drives. same as gconcat+growfs. 3) it doesn't have per user quota, which creates a problem that is solved by 1), and you have to create at least one filesystem/user, which then is said to relieve admininstrator from work ;) 4) ZFS says that hardware checksums are not enough and disk hardware may be buggy so then solve this problem checking everything with CPU. while i've had failing drives many times i never seen it reading bad data and not reporting error. 5) you don't have to wait for fsck. one of the few real adventages. Anyway - FreeBSD doesn't crash like windoze, so it's not that big thing. 6) zfs set copies= works only on writes, but scrub doesn't make a missing copy when one is failed. so the best possible adventage (setting what file to mirror, what not) is lost. 7) there is no per file encryption, while it's said it will be SOON ready. 8) ZFS is clear winner on artifical tests like creating miliion of small files and then deleting them etc.. 9) ZFS is very fast, just add more RAM and faster CPU. i would - to make more RAM and CPU power available for programs i run, not to be wasted. there was a lot of excitement here after ZFS was ported, but i think it's time too see that 20 (or more?) year old UFS is still a winner. i think some changes in UFS, like larger cylinder groups (so there won't be 1 of then on big filesystem), possibly dynamic allocation of inodes, would be good. but not critical :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IOW, hostIN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domain. IN TXT something I would have though that a full origin name as the left value on the TXT line would override the previous host value.

6.3-RELEASE, i915G, drm, dri
I have an Intel i915G onboard graphics device that uses 8MB of shared memory. After installing 6.3-RELEASE I compiled a kernel with the drm and i915drm devices enabled (and leaving the agp device enabled). On boot, agp0 detects 8MB of memory for the i915G, and /dev/agpgart is created. But drm0 reports 0MB. Consequently (?), the kernel reports 0 memory available to the i810 driver in xorg, and dri is disabled. (The new intel display driver is worse -- xorg won't even run, complaining of insufficient memory.) When I was using 6.0 or 6.1 on this same hardware back in 2006, I implemented Eric Anholt's May, 2006, source modifications in /usr/src/sys/dev/drm. Then, with the drm and i915drm devices in the kernel, drm0 reported 8MB of memory, and dri in xorg worked after persuading the BIOS that there were 12MB. I'm therefore inclined to deem the present condition a regression. The 2006 drm patches won't compile in 6.3, apparently owing to subsequent changes in the code for the agp or pci devices. The 6.3 version of drm_agpsupport.c treats 6.3 the way Mr. Anholt's 2006 version treated 7.x, skipping some detection routines. Has anyone tried 7.0-RC1 with an i915? I suspect that it's the same as 6.3 in this regard. Never miss a thing.

If IPs are static then provider itself will negotiate them every time same. If you will specify them and provider will request another, negotiation will fail. So I would not recommend you to specify them. For wan1 I have one ip and for wan2 I have 5 ips Probably for wan2 you have one interface IP plus some network routed to you. PPP protocol does not allows to negotiate routed network, so that network probably should be configured by hands somewhere. I was orginally thinking of seting up proxy-arp to add the extra 4 ips on wan2 after connecting using the first ip, but now I'm not to sure anymore. proxy-arp is working only with Ethernet. If you are going to give that static IPs only to PPTP users - you probably don't need it. We need these ips because some of the websites and servers that we manage are ip restricked for added security, this is also the reason why I have a pptp server for the people thats not in our office. You can specify static IPs for those users in mpd.secret file. How does mpd5 assign the ng interfaces, in my previose cong there was a line new -i ng0 provider PPPoE0, does mpd5 do this automatically? Interfaces will be allocated by system in order of usage.

wireless losing connection periodically
hello, I've noticed that my wireless connection tends to drop once in a while and only restores itself after a relatively longish period. I'm dealing with it now by connecting a laptop by wire (the box doesn't have a screen or a keyboard) and running /etc/rc.d/netif restart ral0, but that's a bother. googling didn't bring up any useful results, so I'm wondering, what are the best ways to mitigate or fix this (aside from using a wire)? I'm considering writing a simple script that'd constantly ping my router and restart the wlan interface if it stops responding, but perhaps there's something pre-made or more simple than that available? cheers, reinis -- http://untu.ms/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mpd with a dual pppoe setup
If IPs are static then provider itself will negotiate them every time same. If you will specify them and provider will request another, negotiation will fail. So I would not recommend you to specify them. For wan1 I have one ip and for wan2 I have 5 ips Probably for wan2 you have one interface IP plus some network routed to you. PPP protocol does not allows to negotiate routed network, so that network probably should be configured by hands somewhere. To be honest, I don't know why we have 5 ips on wan2, I have no need for them at all. It might be usefull once I register a proper domain for the office, but for now we are using no-ip.org and it is working just fine. What I do know is that if I disconnect let say wan2 for some time and then reconnect, I will be assigned an ip address on a total different subnet and it messes up everything, I have to manually set the ips in our router for them to be used, this is why I'm asking how I can set the ip addresses, on wan1 if I reboot the router where I haven't set the static ip, it does reconnect using the correct ip, but I have never disconnected this line for more the 1 minute. Right now I'm using wan1 for all our outgoing ftp, one site that doesn't like load balancing and incoming pptp connections, wan2 is used for outgoing https and ssh connections, incoming http and ssh connections is coming in on both wan1 and wan2 depending on which ip is registered at no-ip.org. All other outgoing connections are using both wan1 and wan2. All this I can do with PF, but I need to find a way to set the ips. How does mpd5 assign the ng interfaces, in my previose cong there was a line new -i ng0 provider PPPoE0, does mpd5 do this automatically? Interfaces will be allocated by system in order of usage. WAN1 will be ng0, WAN2 - ng1 and the PPTP link's interfaces will be allocated dynamically on connect. I'm guesing here that because you have not specified any lines from my new config file that it should be working and thanks for explaining how it assignes ng interfaces.

automatic fsck on gmirror failure
Hi there, I have a RAID 1 mirror implemented with gmirror and we recently had some power issues at our data centre which caused fsck to fail mysteriously. The server lost power unexpectedly, then came back up again for a minute, power died again and shortly after the next boot the following appears in my /var/log/messages Feb 2 05:20:19 myserver fsck: /dev/mirror/gm0s1f: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=777684 (8 should be 0) (CORRECTED) Feb 2 05:20:19 myserver fsck: /dev/mirror/gm0s1f: CANNOT READ BLK: 12417184 Feb 2 05:20:19 myserver fsck: /dev/mirror/gm0s1f: UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. gm0s1f is my /usr partition. This was followed by countless errors that look like Feb 2 05:20:38 myserver ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=29096879 Feb 2 05:20:43 myserver ad6: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=29096879 Feb 2 05:20:48 myserver ad6: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=29096879 Feb 2 05:20:48 myserver g_vfs_done():mirror/gm0s1f[READ(offset=6357598208, length=16384)]error = 5 and with it went any sort of remote access to the box. We had to get physical access, fsck -y and reboot for the machine to be put back into service. Now my question is: Why did fsck die on me? I thought in this day and age file system corruptions caused by power failures are repaired automatically upon reboot. Or is it possible that interrupting fsck itself caused the problem when the system went down again after the very brief uptime in between? I am really concerned about this as this caused a lot of unnecessary downtime and I really don't want this to ever happen again. I know, solving the power issues is the real solution but I want my several layers of peace of mind. Oh, I run 6.2 RELEASE.

Re: automatic fsck on gmirror failure
it failed while rebuilding with badly written data on the disk that was used, while other rebuild. now it can't read it. if you are sure that it doesn't pass through fsck before second reboot, do the following. 1) turn off gmirror 2) clear gmirror header on both providers 3) run fsck the other drive (not ad6, but the other used on mirror). 4) pray 5) after fsck will end it successfully (it should), create gmirror with the disk you checked gmirror label options gmirror-name /dev/thedisk 6) reboot and start the system. should go well. 7) after system is running and not too much needing disk I/O, do gmirror insert gmirror-name /dev/ad6 8) pray again, but with much less fear. 9) if gmirror will finish rebuild, all right. if you got write errors in log, ad6 needs to be replaced. wish it helps. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Question about restore
On Sat, Feb 02, 2008 at 08:28:37PM +0700, Fira wrote: Hi list, I want to migrate one of my server (machine A) into another (machine B). My choice is using 'dump' and 'restore'. I've dumped all of my filesystem into third machine (machine C) over ssh. All went fine. Then, I want to restore it into machine B. This machine is newly fresh, no freebsd inside. My plan is restore the dump file into it by using installer CD. I use the cd/dvd fixit mode. At this time, my confusion begun. To restore it, I need to create the slice. I did 'fdisk' and 'disklabel' from sysinstall. But it failed. I followed tutorial from http://devpit.org/wiki/Dump_and_Restore_over_SSH [of course with some adjustment], but I still failed. My question is, how is the right way to do the restore in a system that hasn't been installed with freebsd at all? From what I get in google, every restore example is done on a system that has been installed an OS. I am not sure what didn't happen or if you left something out of your description, but I will take a shot here. First, You also don't mention the FreeBSD version you are working with, but 'disklabel' has been replaced with 'bsdlabel' several versions ago. Next, although you say you used fdisk to create slices and bsdlabel[disklabel] (presumably to create partitions) you don't mention using newfs to create filesystems on the partitions. Then, you do not mention creating any mount points for the new filesystems/partitions. These can all be done using sysinstall on the install CD and that can be a good way to do it. You tend to forget fewer steps, because it keeps track of them for you. It is not a bad thing to just do a very basic install of the version you want and with the partitions created to the size you want. Then restore the backups right over it. Or, maybe better than that, just create the slice/partitions/filesystems with sysinstall and then get out of it and boot again and go into the 'fixit' sell. That will have enough to do everything. If you use sysinstall this way, you will still manually need to create mount points and mount the new filesystems. So, here is the general procedure - presuming you are using the disk only for FreeBSD. Dual boot is similar, but you need to specify a couple of things differently. Boot the install disk and bring up either the fixit or sysinstall. Use fdisk (or sysinstall) to create a single slice that is marked as bootable. Also write the standard FreeBSD MBR. fdisk -BI da0 (presuming your disk is da0 (SCSI) would be ad0 if IDE/STAT) Use bsdlabel to create a boot sector on the disk and the partitions. bsdlabel -w -B da0s1 (Initializes the slice and writes boot sector) bsdlabel -e da0s1 (Brings up edit mode to edit the partition table) Then use newfs to create filesystems on all partitions except swap. newfs /dev/da0s1a (for partition a which will be mounted as / (root) partition 'b' will be swap partition 'c' is special to describe the slice and is unused for actual partitions newfs /dev/da0s1d (for the 'd' partition - maybe /tmp) newfs /dev/da0s1e (for 'e' partition - maybe /usr) etc as needed for all partitions The above may be done by sysinstall. The rest needs to be done from fixit or a running system - i'd recommend fixit Now create mount points for each partition -- note that in the fixit disk your main/root writable filesystem that the fixit is running from is in memory and not on disk, so if you reboot before completing stuff, the mount points will disappear. mkdir /newroot for partition a which will become your root mkdir /newusr for partition e, /usr in my example etc as needed Mount the partitions mount /dev/da0s1a /newroot mount /dev/da0s1e /newusr etc as needed Now you are ready to do the restores. Still from the fixit disk cd /newroot restore -rf plus you add all your piping from the place you have the dump stored. cd /newusr restore -rf pluss all the pipings. You should now be able to reboot and run the new machine. Now, if you are not using the latest FreeBSD, I would suggest that you boot the latest (6.3) version and build the whole new system with that and instead of just restore the dumps as is, make a nice big extra partition/filesystem, restore each dump there and then pick and choose out of it what you want to add back in to the new whole system. That would mostly be just some configuration stuff in the systems areas (root and /usr) and then your user storage, maybe living in /home or whereever you had it. jerry Thanks a lot guys! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To
