FreeBSD fdisk how to?
Hi all I need to partition a new 250GB SATA disk. BIOS Auto calculated disk geometry shows: parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=119706 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl) That is, Total sectors=488400480 Since the C/H/S values are not compatible with FreeBSD fdisk, I recalculated them as: Sectors/track: 63 Heads: 255 Cylinders = 488400480 / 16065 = 30401 I made a configfile as: g c30401 h255 s63 p 1 165 63 488392002 a 1 I ran fdisk as follows: fdisk -f configfile -itv /dev/ad2 I get following message: *** Working on device /dev/ad2 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: WARNING line 1: number of cylinders (30401) may be out-of-range (must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk is dedicated to FreeBSD) parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=119705 heads=16 sectors/track=255 (4080 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=30401 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Information from DOS bootblock is: 1: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 488392002 (238472 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 704/ head 254/ sector 63 2: UNUSED 3: UNUSED 4: UNUSED Now my questions: 1. Am I suppose to enter as c1024 instead of c30401, irrespective of the size of the disk? 2. Is it an error if I still enter as c30401? 3. Am I suppose to enter the c30401 h255 s63 values to the BIOS as user mode before run fdisk? In case the way I use fdisk under FreeBSD is not correct, appreciate if you guys can point to some documentation. I followed the fdisk(8). Many thanks in advance.

A quick look at the Pyrex ChangeLog[1] reveals: 0.8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The type object of an external extension type is now imported at run time using the Python import mechanism. To make this possible, an 'extern' extension type declaration must DECLARE THE MODULE from which the extension type originates. See the new version of the Extension Types documentation for details. This change was made to eliminate the need for Pyrex to be told the C name of the type object, or for the Pyrex module to be linked against the object code providing the type object. You will have to update any existing external extension type declarations that you are using. I'm sorry about that, but it was too hard to support both the old and new ways.

Btw, thank you very much for so many replies without giving up :) Well, fdisk(8) is somewhat cumbersome to use. Personally I tend to invoke sysinstall(8) to create new slices (can be done after install too.) Much easier to use. Also, you can almost always ignore any warnings about the geometry of the disk. Once the kernel has booted FreeBSD does not make use of the geometry anyway, so it is only if you need to boot from the disk or if you use the disk from some other OS that it might matter (but it usually works just fine without any adjustments.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Re: JohnCompanies and RootBSD (was Re: FreeBSD based web hosting?)
My main concern is disk space; I have 2GB for ~$26 per month. This too is my only gripe about JohnCompanies. For $29 a month, I only get a VPS with 2GB of space -- and they don't allow you to add more diskpace unless you upgrade to a higher ($49/month) plan. while i live in Poland, where (in theory) internet services are more expensive than US and many west countries (we are told so at least), it looks like very expensive. 29$/month=348$/year for what i understand - Xen based servers with a bit of RAM allocated and 2GB disk space. it's just funny in context of todays cheap 500-1000GB disks. While i don't do this widely (too little money, too much work to advertise etc.) i have 20 clients on my servers just having their FreeBSD jail for 100$/month. There is 20GB soft limit - where soft means that you generally can keep more, but if i will have space problems i will ask to free some space. The important question is traffic generated, not disk space, as this is what's expensive. I just can't understand the basis of their offers. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Finding temperature on intel 82845g chipset
Hello, I have a dell gx260 with Pentium 4 processor and intel 82845g chipset on freebsd 7.0. If possible I would like to find out some temperature sensor data. What I have tried is: sysctl hw.acpi - but there is no support for hw.acpi.thermal so from what I understand there is no thermal support with this. mbmon complains that /dev/smb0 is not configured after I have loaded smbus smb (and ichsmb (I do not know if this really is correct since ichsmb man does not mention 82845 chipset)) ipmitool i get no /dev/ipmi0 but the ipmi module loads with no errors from what I have heard on pcbsd forum trying to use linux emulation for lm-sensors would not give the right answers even if I got it to work (but I'm new to freebsd so it seems like a big project to get that working (I have upgraded linux compatibility to fc-6 but I do not know if I need the i2c-drivers, I also need to install some linux packages (but lm-sensors.org site is not available now so I cannot find out which it was). also i installed some driver/library that was used with chm (I cannot remember now and I cannot find it when I look through pkg_info(perhaps if I could see the date packaged were installed)), anyhow that also complained that smb0 was not configured. The dell manual mentions some ASF temperature alerts but I do not know if this is only for windows. Is it possible to do something with this in wine or is it the same as the linux thing mentioned above. I'm sorry if I have overlooked something obvious, but I'm not that used to nor computers nor linux/unix to know what type of drivers I should search for. _ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+worldmkt=en-USform=QBRE___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

G4U does not work with data, it works with partitions or whole disks. If you get that concept, it will help in planning what you do with it. A partition normally has a file system which has a file access table. If you want file lookups to work properly afterwards, you need the target partition to be at least the same size as the original. I've tried to keep my answer OS agnostic as this BSD based utility is capable of doing the job for any OS. For broader hardware support, I suggest consideration of udpcast, which is Linux based. gzipped disk clone image files made from g4u are compatible with restoring the same to a new target from udpcast, in case you wondered. --Donald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My question: Is there a better way to duplicate a drive including boot info? You've got lots of useful answers on duplicating the system other ways, but I thought I'd mention that dd's performance can be enhanced by providing a blocksize. You might want to time some reads and writes with a set of numbers that divides evenly into the byte count of your disk.

trouble shooting samba performance
Hello, Can anyone point me to a guide on trouble shooting samba performance or a quick list of common issues I can check for. I've been googling but haven't found much that referenced a recent version of FreeBSD and Samba. I am running FreeBSD 7.0 on VmWare Server 2.0 hosted on a CentOS Linux box. I've used nttcp and iozone to verify that the performance of the FreeBSD 7.0 VM is good and am able to copy 6.5GB on disk from one location to another in about 2.5 minutes. Copying to a Windows 2003 server yields a 45 minute transfer time. Copying to a Windows XP workstation yields a 4 minute transfer time Summary: FreeBSD 7.0 -- FreeBSD 7.0 -- 2.5 minutes ( copying on disk ) FreeBSD 7.0 -- WinXP -- 4 minutes ( samba ) FreeBSD 7.0 - Windows 2003 -- 45 minutes ( samba ) WinXP -- Windows 2003 -- 5 minutes Both windows machines are on the same domain. I've used samba for a number of years and this is the first time I've ran into a problem such as this. So if someone could give me a good starting point on how to troubleshoot this I'd appreciate it.

I've read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html
which is very helpful. In any event should I attempt to try to
rewrite my ASL to make it more spec conforming so Intel's CA likes it
OR would it be better to try to work around it in the CA directly. I
believe I understand the problem but I'm still reading the spec
regarding embedded controller sections (which is a little different).
I believe I'm probably not the only MSI FreeBSD owner so I figured I
would share!
Thanks a lot!

Re: Vsftpd rotate logs with newsyslog...
Thank u all very much guysi will see if i do a graceful or simply a restart cause i dont think the apache will be getting too many connections all the timebut that clarifications was quite good Davidand thank u for the examplethat is always the best way to understand things...much appreciated... Will try bothjust a question about compression...What i understood from your mail is that as apache takes some time to let his children close all connections i shouldn zip those logs cause, newsyslog wont wait till apache finishes and probably will xip logs that are still being access by the children? if htat is the case using a HUP will close all and allow me to use compresion? Yes it would. But if you go this route, you might loose some logs from the childrens. If you don't run a busy server with lots of hits and lots of VirtualHosts, then that might not be a problem for you. Like Ruben said, YMMV. IMHO, if the Apache Best Practices and documentation say you should use USR1 and not compress the logs automatically via newsyslog(8) or logrotate(8), then that's what I do. Of course, you can compress the logs at a later time once the files have been rotated of course. But with today's disk sizes and SAN storage, I'd be surprised that a few Apache log files can pose a disk space problem. Think of it another way. If today you run a single very small site, then you might want be tempted to use HUP and compression simply because it's easier and, well, it works. Agreed that using USR1 seems a little more complicated (a little) and might seem like an overkill setup for a single small site. But tomorrow you might end up working for a very large site that runs a huge number of VirtualHosts with thousands of hits per seconds on a three-tier web platform that has a cluster of web servers, application servers and backend databases. If you've learned and used the Best Practices back in the days when you had your single little web site, then it won't be a secret to you and you'll be ready to tackle the demands of a bigger site. Besides, it's not like using USR1 is some form of arcane black sysadmin magic, right? :) If you need more info on this topic, check out the official documentation (i.e. RTFM ;-) Apache 1.3 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/stopping.html Apache 2.0 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/stopping.html Apache 2.2 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html Sorry guys...got one more doubtWhy do u use B (binary) if apache logs are simple text? any particular reason? From the newsyslog.conf(5) man page: B indicates that the log file is a binary file, or has some special format. Usually newsyslog(8) inserts an ASCII message into a log file during rotation. This message is used to indicate when, and sometimes why the log file was rotated. If B is specified, then that informational mes- sage will not be inserted into the log file. Indeed, the Apache logs are ASCII files. I use the B flag in newsyslog.conf(5) simply because I don't want to have newsyslog(8) to write anything in the Apache logs. Why? Because it confuses our Apache log file analyzers. That's all. I mean, I know the reasons why the logs are rotated and I know that it's newsyslog(8) that did it (I should know, I'm the one who configured it). So I don't need a reminder inside the logs about it. Once again, YMMV.

Hello, You say you've created a static ip for your computer. What is the actual ip? If your router is on subnet 192.168.22.0, then your ip must also be on that subnet.

Circumstance leading up to removal of perl from base?

AFAICR the issue was mostly that it was a *lot* of work to mangle the perl build into bmake format so it would build with make world, and it was also difficult to avoid conflicts with other versions of perl that needed to be installed for port builds. It was just too difficult to maintain in the base system, especially when nothing used it.

Re: Circumstance leading up to removal of perl from base?
Dan Mahoney, System Admin wrote: Hello all, I know it was a long time ago, but I was talking with a co-worker about why perl was removed from the base in v5 -- I seem to recall a discussion on some mailing list about either the number of arguments or the format of the arguments and/or output of a base perl function having changed between 5.005 and 5.6.1. Thing is, that's a very vague thing to try to google for, and I can't seem to find it. Are there any old-timers who remember the system call in question? Please let me know, IIRC it was removed for other reasons. I seem to remember that it was problematic as few used the base perl, most used the port build which was often installed as a dependency anyway. I viewed it as a good thing as I always ended up installing a module or two, or six, from ports. No unused perl install, no issues with software getting confused about which perl to run, no need for... what was that command to use the port perl instead of the base perl? I cannot remember anymore.

Why doesn't cons25 have cs in termcap info?
Since some ports actually need cs(change_scroll_region) to run for example tmux is one. I believe tmux does not change the term correctly which could be the issue as well. But according to the author the term needs cs to even run. I m just wondering why cons25 is missing this from it's termcap, since I've been working on adding it to cons25 so that some ports will work correctly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
error message when starting smartd: FAILURE - SMART status=51 ...
Hello, I see an error message every time I boot my AMD64 FreeBSD 7.0 system or when I restart smartd. These are the dmesg lines that seem relevant to the issue (shortened for clarity): kernel: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Fri Jun 6 22:06:44 NZST 2008 kernel: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (2611.86-MHz K8-class CPU) kernel: Origin = AuthenticAMD Id = 0x60fb2 Stepping = 2 kernel: usable memory = 8576704512 (8179 MB) ... kernel: atapci2: SiI SiI 3114 SATA150 controller port 0xd480-0xd487,0xd400-0xd403,0xd080-0xd087,0xd000-0xd003,0xcc00-0xcc0f mem 0xddeff400-0xddeff7ff irq 18 at device 10.0 on pci1 ... kernel: ata6: ATA channel 0 on atapci2 kernel: ata7: ATA channel 1 on atapci2 kernel: ata8: ATA channel 2 on atapci2 kernel: ata9: ATA channel 3 on atapci2 ... kernel: ad12: 476940MB Seagate ST3500320AS SD15 at ata6-master SATA150 kernel: ad14: 476940MB Seagate ST3500320AS SD15 at ata7-master SATA150 kernel: ad16: 476940MB Seagate ST3500320AS SD15 at ata8-master SATA150 kernel: ad18: 476940MB Seagate ST3500320AS SD15 at ata9-master SATA150 I am happy to provide more info if that helps.# I am using the latest version of smartmontools (5.38). The actual error messages are: kernel: ad12: FAILURE - SMART status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=4ABORTED kernel: ad14: FAILURE - SMART status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=4ABORTED kernel: ad16: FAILURE - SMART status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=4ABORTED kernel: ad18: FAILURE - SMART status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=4ABORTED Apart from that, the disks seem to be working fine. I am running a ZFS pool on them and they perform great, no worries whatsoever; I am simply unsure what these error messages mean and if they should worry me. Also, the disks are SATA300, the controller supports SATA150 only; there is a jumper on the disks that limits them to SATA150 which I removed. Could that be relevant ? Thank you very much for your attention.
