How do I list what CPU core is on what package?
Hi Everybody: Simple question, if I want to know if a cpu X is on a particular package is there an easy way to list this? Normally my understanding is on most machines, every other LAPIC id is on the same package. So 0,2,4,6 would be on one package and 1,3,5,7 would be on another (say in a 2-way quad-core) and I am assuming (I haven't checked source) that the OS lists them in LAPIC order.

Sockets stuck in CLOSED state...
Dear All, Recently i've been upgrading some of my machines from FreeBSD 6.x amd64 to FreeBSD 7.0 amd64. After upgrading I noticed a weird error/bug. It seems that after several thousand TCP connections some seem to hang in 'CLOSED' state. netstat -n gives: ... tcp4 0 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.42149 CLOSED tcp4 39 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.54103 CLOSED tcp4 35 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.41718 CLOSED tcp4 38 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.55618 CLOSED tcp4 41 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.44230 CLOSED tcp4 39 0 1.2.3.4.* 4.5.6.7.49439 CLOSED ... These never go away; they gradually increase and increase until the application starts giving errors (probably because some socket or filedescriptor limit is reached). When the application is killed these entries disappear. The application in question is a self written DNS server, multithreaded, and running fine for years without any troubles on both BSD 5.x as well as 6.x. Also 32bits as well as 64bits on 6.x. Ofcourse that doesn't mean that the application is error free, however, after doing extensive testing I really can not find anything wrong with the application itself, so I'm thinking maybe there's a change somewhere that causes this? I know that tcp/network has been completely redone... What basically happens in the application is this: - one main tcp thread runs an infinite while loop waiting for new connections to arrive - as soon as one arrives a new thread is spawned that handles the newly created stream - it reads some bytes, writes some bytes, then closes it - thread exits What appears to happen is this: after the new thread is spawned it tries to read 2 bytes (DNS tcp length information). It gets back 0 bytes (EOF) and therefore closes the sockets and calls pthread_exit. However in netstat that same stream oftenly appears to have bytes 'stuck' in the in queue... I really can't see how this can cause hanging sockets in 'CLOSED' state. Even if the incoming queue isnt read entirely a call to close should close it. Also I really can't find any documentation in netstat, or elsewhere, about the 'CLOSED' state... Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Re: Vsftpd rotate logs with newsyslog...
Well, i take this opportunity also to ask about Apache toowhich signal should i send? A HUP signal should work for apache. Actually, the Apache documentation says that one must use USR1 instead of HUP to send a gracefull restart instead of a hangup. This is to let the children httpd processes some time to finish their transactions before the master restarts. It is also for this reason that the logs should not be compressed by newsyslogd. This is what we use in newsyslog.conf(5) for our Apache servers: /var/log/httpd/access.log640 5 1024 * B /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/httpd/error.log640 5 1024 * B /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/httpd/ssl.log 640 5 1024 * B /var/run/httpd.pid 30 Of course, your log file names will vary according to your preferences and VirtualHosts.

Re: Keyboard repetition under X11
Hi, thanks, but unfortunately that didn't help, since the problem is confined to X.

Thank you for the suggestions. I had considered that myself, however the server is doing about 300 DNS queries per second, so that's not easy to log. And even if it is logged you have sooo much information that it's nearly impossible to comprehend it. The thing is that the problem does not occur always; the same ip can connect and do queries for thousands of times before 1 connection gets stuck. To give you an idea: after about 24 hours (so that's about 26 million queries) I get about 10 stuck connections. i'm almost sure you will notice where is a problem. possibly threads implementation changed...

Wireless problems using an AP connected to router

If I connect directly to the router, my connection is fine. If I connect to the access point, the connection is fine initially then fails to resolve names and loses the router/gateway. The odd thing is that I still have a good connection to the access point (tested with ping) but no connection to the router (also tested with ping).

LDAP Authentication questions...
Hello folks, First, please reply-all to this message as I'm not on the list. I'm trying to configure a bunch of FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x servers for authentication via LDAP. I've got LDAP setup with user accounts, I've got replication configured on the LDAP servers, and I have pam_ldap and nss_ldap installed, configured, and working. The last hurdle I'm trying to leap is server failover. I have the following line in my /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf file: uri ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap2.example.com If I finger ldap_user with both servers running, I get a response with that user's information. If I switch around the order of the two ldap servers, I get a response (for a different username to avoid the caching). My problem lies with failing the first server in the list. In this case, I'm simply stopping the slapd process. finger ldap_user hangs forever and authentications all timeout for ldap- configured services like ssh. Now, shouldn't it eventually fail over to my secondary LDAP server? I've even tried adding timelimit 10 to the ldap.conf file to set a timeout, to no avail.

Sounds like the dependencies are confused. pkgdb(1) may help with that. If not, the brute force approach would be to remove the affected ports all the way back to (and including) libcdio, and build them over. I havent been able to figure out how to fix things with pkgdb. And i have tried, over and over, to remove the affected ports and build them from scratch but it hasnt been working. So i went to libcdio and did a make deinstall, deleted the work files, and did a make install clean, and it installed fine. Then i tried to build gvfs, also by doing a make install clean, and it died in the same way--telling me to make deinstall and make reinstall of libcdio. Ive tried this several times with no luck. If theres an even more brute force way id like to know what it is so i can do that. This is preventing a lot of other upgrades to GNOME, which i need. I found it. I think you need to reset the options on libcdio to re-enable the cdparanoia option. Some gnome ports seem to depend on the library specifically with the paranoia option, and I've seen some systems get the options jammed.

Mounting smbfs At Boot Time
I have this in my /etc/fstab: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /localmountsmbfs rw 0 0 This very nicely mounts an smbfs filesystem at boot time. HOWEVER, if SRV happens to not be up at the time FreeBSD boots, FBSD will halt and prompt to go into single user mode thinking that there is a catastrophic problem. I want the mount to occur if possible, and to be retried later if not possible at boot time. But I want this to occur automatically without my having to poke at the machine manually to see to it. 'noauto' was a tempting solution, but it seems not to work the way I'd expect. I added it to the entry, manually unmounted /localmount, and then did a 'mount -a'. The smbmount did not come back.

In response to prad [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 5. i don't see why there would be a dns problem since we are sshing from within our local network which the servers are part of. in fact, it is slow even when you use the ip address directly. Because the ssh server always does DNS lookups on connecting IPs in order to have hostnames to put in the logs.

I can find plenty of Linux-based offerings, but the only one I can find with FreeBSD is in Germany and requires me to be resident in Germany. Can anybody point me to one that I, as an Australian resident, can use? Feel free to reply to me personally and blow your own trumpet if you want. Please also note that I'm not subscribed to these lists, so please don't reply only to the list.

Re: FreeBSD based web hosting?
Skiltech.com is my host, they do jailed for a good price -- depends on traffic and space requirements -- and do colocation. We're paying $400/mo for a machine we have full system access to, plus 24/7 tech for free and nightly backups for up to 7 days for access, DB for 30. They run fBSD 6.3 right now, I believe. Good company, small - owned by one person - and very, very reliable. -- Ryan I'm looking for somebody to host some web sites for me. Ideally I'd like a complete machine, but a jail would do too.

Steve It's a HighPoint pATA controller, one drive went kaput so I replaced it with another 250G drive and went to rebuild and it wouldn't go. The drive itself wasn't actually dead, I did some running tests on it and it spun up OK in an enclosure and then in another machine. So I tried to put the drive back on the array and it doesn't believe in having data anymore. This is a 4x250G R5 (so ~750G logical) that does have data on it that I would very much like to recover somehow. I know this is very likely a fruitless endeavor, I just need to try. OnTrack and other recovery places are just too expensive for this. I can dig up the old logs (I think) from when she was firing errors two weeks ago.

I couldn't even run a find(1) on it. It was 4 disks that made a 714G functional drive, no hotspare, I didn't have the disks for it at the time -- but I do now.

Ryan Coleman wrote: Ryan Coleman wrote: and my tech said that's a bad sign, you're toast and left me hanging. Knowing you spanned the drives without parity or backup, there is no need for me to review the errors. I agree with your tech. Unless there is a miracle (or you outsource the entire array to a recovery location), good luck. Sorry I couldn't be more help. FYI...when you span drives, your single point of failure is an exponential factor of how many drives you are spanning. I have done low level disk data recovery before, but describing it is beyond what I can do via email. Even still, said disk recovery still relied on the ability for the heads to read off the platter. If I were you, I'd consider your backup strategy now for that 7TB array you are building. Thats a lot of data. You need to be able to go back more than one day. If nobody else has a suggestion to retrieve the info, you will send it away.

Re: FreeBSD based web hosting?
I was going to go with them for their XEN based hosting, but i sent them an email, asking a couple questions, they never replied, so went with Verio instead Is anyone here using RootBSD? I'm currently with JohnCompanies. Overall, it's been a positive experience, though I wish they offered FreeBSD 7. Beta testing for it was supposed to begin last month, but so far no news. My main concern is disk space; I have 2GB for ~$26 per month. For the same price at RootBSD you could get almost eight times as much. The question is how reliable are they? I can't find any information on their site about where the data center is or the exact system specifications. - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This appears to be mysql-related: I gathered that from the error messages. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/temporary-files.html Hmmm..tmpdir is not defined in /etc/my.cnf, so if I'm reading this right, mysqld *should* use /tmp for its temporary files. This server has a /tmp partition that is 3.2GB, so that should be more than ample space *if* mysqld is really using it. It appears that it may be using /var/tmp instead, which would be incorrect behavior *if* I'm reading their docs right. But this /var partition is 300GB, so that's a really, really huge temporary file. Also, what is the output of 'df -i /var'? # df -i /var/ Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity iusedifree %iused Mounted on /dev/da1s1d 283737842 5397568 255641248 2% 20350 366736640% /var See recent thread on FreeBSD Forums for context: http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/printthread.php?t=58071 Thanks. At least I know I'm not the only one to have run into this oddity. I'm not that knowledgeable of inodes. My understanding is they are destroyed once a file is no longer in use. Is that correct? Is there any sort of history kept of file system activity that would identify what filename was identified by the inumbers listed in dmesg.today? Or is that vain hope? This is a 6.2 RELEASE system.

I'm too sleepy right now (the coffee hasn't started kicking in yet from a very early wake up), but it would be nice if we also added a note to the article saying that it is important to have the correct locale environment *before* the X server fires up, to make sure that all X11 programs grok Greek. Manolis, if you feel like it, and you get to it before I do later today, can you add a note like this? If you don't, I'll get around to it when I finish some early morning errands. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Done, and pushed along with a few minor other fixes.
