Re: dependencies in portmaster

Secondly, I would have needed to know it existed :) I guess you would need to have an up to date ports tree for this to be accurate. Not a problem in this case.

Re: 7.0 and fsck question
Walker wrote: Today I lost power and my FreeBSD 7.0-R server came up with all partitions not properly dismounted. I was watching the fsck reports to syslog and noticed there wasn't one for the root partition. Why is this? No syslogd running at the point when fsck runs on /? Two possibilities: i) The root partition wasn't marked dirty at the time your system crashed. This seems unlikely to me unless you're doing things like mounting root read-only. ii) The root partition is fsck'd somewhat earlier in the boot sequence than other partitions. You'ld still see mention of it in the console output. However it is the case that in the default system layout, there's very little that would actually be writing to the root partition, and the partition itself is pretty small, so even if the root does get fsck'd it will be pretty quick and fairly painless. Perhaps you simply missed it in all the text scrolling up the screen?

I got no error so maybe I should have waited longer and something would have happened. I think I dislike graphic installers unless maybe they were verbose and give an indication of the problem. Another option would be PC-BSD or DesktopBSD as they both have very easy installations and will support most things that the above support. The only stipulation that I have run into is the standard trouble of Flash on BSD operating systems. Very true.

Re: So How Hard Is Moving From 6.3 To 7.0?
Tim Daneliuk wrote: I have a stable 6.3 production server. If I buildworld/kernel for 7.0, install them, and reboot, will everything pretty much work the same as it did under 6.3, or have file locations, userland configuration, etc. changed? Will my 6.3 binaries run unchanged on 7.0 as well? I've been doing a bunch of 6.x - 7.0 upgrades recently. Here's a few hints I've picked up along the way: *) The base system update from 6.x to 7.0 can be done by following the usual 'make buildworld buildkernel ; make installkernel ... ' procedure as shown in the handbook and also described in /usr/src/UPDATING. Because you're doing a major version number update, following the strict procedure is even more important than usual. If you have servers in a remote facility, going on-site or having remote console access is strongly advisable. *) The mergemaster steps are important. You will definitely need to run 'mergemaster -p' before doing the buildworld part as there's a new standard 'ftp' group. The mergemaster step after installation is going to prompt you to delete, merge or replace quite a large number of files -- certainly affecting most of the contents of /etc/mtree, /etc/periodic/ and /etc/rc.d/ plus lots of bluetooth and openbsm bits. This is kind of tedious, and usually it requires bouncing on the 'i' key to replace the old default version of the file with the new one, but you do need to take care with this step as mistakes here can have a horribly negative impact on your machine. *) Be careful of the last step in the OS upgrade procedure. 'make delete-old-libs' will render all of your 6.x compiled software inoperable. I find it best to simply delay that step until after all of the ported software has been recompiled under 7.0. Alternatively, you can install the misc/compat6x port, but you will still need to 'make delete-old-libs' and restart everything (for which the simplest method is to reboot once more). *) It may seem like an enormous burden, but you really do need to recompile every port you have installed once you're running 7.0 In general, software compiled under 6.x will run perfectly fine under 7.0 (so long as libc.so.6 etc. are present and visible to ld-elf.so.1) -- but you will not be able to update it or install anything that depends on dynamic loading into another application without a great deal of grief. (Eg. any php5 modules have to be linked against the same shlibs as the core php binary, and also if you're using mod_php5, against the same shlibs as the apache process that is loaded into). Not doing this is to trade off a few hours of watching compiler output scrolling up your screen for days of stress and frustration at some indeterminate future point. *) The point about not mixing software loadable objects compiled against different versions of libc.so et al also applies *while* you are updating all your ports. Certain software packages will cease to operate during this procedure. Others will carry on just fine. If you're upgrading a system where avoiding service downtime is critical, then, if you can swing it, doing a practice run on a similarly configured scratch box is a good idea. Also good is to build offline or otherwise obtain pkgs of all the software you need to update on the critical server. *) Unfortunately, one of the software packages affected by the above considerations is portupgrade(1) -- it is quite likely to blow up in your face if you just naively run 'portupgrade -fa'. The best way of getting round this is to first delete portupgrade and critical dependencies using the OS supplied tools (pkg_delete) and then re-install from scratch. eg, something like this: # pkg_info -rx portupgrade (to see what portupgrade depends on) # pkg_delete -f ruby-1.8.6.111_1,1 ruby18-bdb44-0.6.2 db44-4.4.20.4 portupgrade-devel-2.4.3 openssl-0.9.8g perl-5.8.8_1 # cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel # make install (you may or may not depend on the ports version of OpenSSL, and the version numbers of other packages are likely to be different. Also, I'm using portupgrade-devel here -- plain portupgrade is also likely to be seen in the wild) Once you've done that, you will be able to proceed with 'portupgrade -fa' for the rest of your software base and it should run smoothly. Of course, users of portmaster(1) have a much easier time here -- it's a shell script and only depends on facilities provided by the core OS. *) If your upgrade doesn't run entirely smoothly or you have to restart it for some other reason, then you can use a command line like this

the daemon that won't die
Hi all,
I made the mistake of trying to run greyscanner
http://www.ualberta.ca/~beck/nycbug06/scripts/greyscanner as a
regular user. Now, everytime it runs (every 30 minutes), there is a
cron error from user operator complaining that you need to be root
to run /usr/libexec/save-entropy. Moreover, each time this happens, an
instance of greyscanner, belonging to user operator, remains dormant
in memory, which means an additional instance of perl. After a day or
so most of my swap memory is used. up.
I have tried killing every PID associated with user operator and/or
greyscanner, but like Lazarus the thing keeps rising from the dead
every 30 mins. I can't figure out what process is keeping it alive.
FWIW, here is the relevant snippet from the script:
# daemonize and scan in a loop.
daemonize;
while (1) {
setlogsock('unix');
openlog(greytrapper, 'pid', 'mail') || die can't openlog;
syslog('debug', Scan started);
my $pid;
$pid = fork();
if (!$pid) {
# child. scan away...
scan;
exit(0);
}
# parent waits and sleeps.
wait;
syslog('debug', Scan completed);
sleep($SCAN_INTERVAL);
}
I am not a perl programmer, and it is not immediately obvious what is
going on here.
So, how to I kill this bugger once and for all?
Thanks.

Re: remote startup scripts
Björn König wrote: I have a setup where /usr/local is actually not a local file system. It's NFS. My problem is that the initialization scripts doesn't seem to consider that startup scripts could be remote. Am I right or are there options that I missed yet? I assume the problem is that /usr/local isn't mounted at the time that the rcorder which looks for scripts there is run. Yes? I believe this problem is fixable by changing rc.d's idea of what needs to be done early to include NFS mounts. I've never done this and don't have a recent enough system to look at but, the man page for rc.d on 6.3 mentions the early/late divider so explore that and see if it helps you. If NFS:/usr/local is mounted there should be no reason why you can't run startups scripts from there. If that doesn't help then searches of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list might turn something up; if you can't find anything there then posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] might get you an answer if nothing more specific comes up here. You should also mention which version of FreeBSD you are running, since rc.d is has had numerous improvements in recent releases. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Creating a custom install disk
I have a number of servers that I am going to be updating to FreeBSD 7 from 6.2. I have built a new base system with all the configurations and ports and local code that I need. This process takes about 2 days from the distribution CDs. I need a way to clone this machine and install on the others. My first idea was a custom install disk. The make release process does not appear to do what I want. It would install a GENERIC kernel and take the config files from the distribution. LiveCD was tried, but it fails with numerous attempts to write to directories that do not exist. I expect I could manually create those directories, but I am not sure what it would actually install since it too builds a new GENERIC (but slightly modified) kernel. I tried creating a dump file of the new machine and restoring it on the old one. I did root first and was going to then do /usr, but the alterations to root were such that the system just couldn't keep going through the process. That what I had expected, but it was worth a try. I have not tried this, but perhaps it might work. Creating the dump files on the new machine, booting the old from the live filesystem cd, recreating the filesystems on disk and then restoring from the dump files on the new system. That would require a good net connection between the 2 machines. Is there a better way to do this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It was followed by a gdm-restart. No error messages, everything seems fine, but I can not connect to the FreeBSD box issuing Xnest -query bsd.example.org :2 from the workstation. The above steps are usually enough to get XDMCP working between GNU/Linux hosts. Actually the reverse scenario works just fine - I was able to get my GNU/Linux Gnome showing on the FreeBSD system via XDMCP. The two hosts are on the same HUB and in the same /24 private network. What am I missing in the FreeBSD setup? I'm posting this one just for future reference if someone else hits the same problem. I rebuilt the kernel w/o IPv6 support (and a bunch of other things I don't need but they seem irrelevant). After rebooting into the kernel the gdm started crashing. cd /usr/ports/*/gdm ; make deinstall ; make install clean. The last command brings a configuration menu where I disabled the IPv6 support. After building and installing gdm this way the new instance speaks XDMCP as expected. -- Best regards, Daniel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Highpoint Rocketraid 1520 / 1522 SATA RAID controllers.
Hello, Anyone using highpoint rocketraid SATA Raid controllers? I am specifically looking at the 1520 or the 1522 model. The question is once the configuration is done on the card, is it represented to FreeBSD as one drive instead of two which currently my cheapy raid controller does?
