Hi,

I've a host with two large (2Tb and 4 Tb) hardware raid5 arrays.

For the backup system we are using, I need to join them to make 1 
logical device.


What would you recomment? ccd or vinum?


Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Either gconcat or ZFS, depending which version of FreeBSD you're running.

gconcat label -v data /dev/raid1 /dev/raid2
newfs /dev/concat/data
mkdir /mnt/data  mount /dev/concat/data /mnt/data

ZFS was a disaster.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off  and the 
zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable.


Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors.

But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I won't use ZFS for a long time.

The problem has nothing to do with ports. To restore your root/user logins:

I've had the same thing happen to me not 2 weeks ago after upgrading a
server from 7.0-RC2 to 7.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update. For me the problem
had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it
replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no
password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I
ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's
back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced
though..
Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your
machine isn't too far away.

There is additional detail (including kernel trace information

mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no

However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work.

Portupgrade thru SSH session

2009-01-20 Thread Jos Chrispijn

Can someone tell me what I should attend for when I am disconnected in 
the middle of a portupgrade and the terminal session is aborted?
The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to 
react. Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty 
keepalive session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on 
this system prompt $-|.
What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby 
process and some tty processes. Perhaps I should delete some other temp 
files as well?

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM http://preview.tinyurl.com/yte4et

the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes

always worked just fine.

My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the 
monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 
1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode. But that 
was easily sorted with a minor tweak to xorg.conf.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen
(/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later,
should you get disconnected.

Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a 
problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index 
needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message 
telling me that.

My problem has something to do with gnome2 I guess.
You see, I can logon, except in graphical user mode.
This happend after complete update (gnome2 included)
I get a different logon prompt, and then I already know I won't be able to
logon.
Only this time I was hoping an upgrade of all the ports would help me .. and
it didn't.
I really hope I will find or get an answer to this problem.

telnet to mbmon

2009-01-20 Thread DA Forsyth

Hiya

I am using mbmon in  telnet mode to monitor some print servers 
remotely.

REvcently I moved the monitoring form one server to another, but now 
the telnet probe only works from the command line.  Any probe 
originating from a cron job gets no data in the reply (normally via 
mrtg, but I tried a direct telnet call as a cron job and it also got 
no data as a reply).

Yes, the connection is made.  mbmon is running on the targets.

This is affecting 3 target print servers.

I tried running the probe on the original server and it worked as 
usual.

where to look?

indeed. and fsck time can be fast if you correctly set up block size and 
amount of inodes. i mean not too much inodes and large blocks (32-64K) if 
you store mostly big files.



I won't use ZFS for a long time.

i would recommend never.

Strange nvidia GeForce 9800GT--harddrive conflict?

2009-01-20 Thread Jakub T

Hi,

I'm trying to start X on FreeBSD-7.1-RELEASE (i386) with up-to-date ports
tree with this graphics card:

nvidia0: GeForce 9800 GT on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]

When I try to start X, with or without xorg.conf generated either by Xorg or
by nvidia-xconfig, with or without kernel nvidia module loaded, I get a lot
of errors like this:

(EE) end of block range 0xfb  begin 0xfffc

Then, my hard drive detaches, like this (not copy-pasted text):

ad7: FAILURE - device detached
subdisk7: detached
...
g_vfs_done(): ad7s1f [WRITE(offset=... length=...)]error = 6
...
vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error
panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs
...

What is interesting is that I succeeded to start xinit once, without visible
problems.

The problem is similar to what was reported here:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-81983.html

Does anybody know a solution? If more information about my system is needed,
I'll post them.

ASL 2.0 based software contribution to FreeBSD code base

2009-01-20 Thread Saifi Khan

Hi:

Is Apache Software License (ASL) 2.0 based software contributions
accepted in FreeBSD code base ?

Specific case to consider would be:
 a. device driver code released under ASL 2.0
 b. code contributed to kernel (eg. scheduler implementation) under ASL 2.0
 c. code contributed to userland (eg. new implementation of ctags) under ASL 2.0

Can some of the experienced members share how things work within the
context of FreeBSD project ?

I have done it several times without any problems.

Do, however, ensure that your /etc/fstab entries match the result before
you reboot; attempting a mount by hand (merely specifying either the
mount point or the device, but not both) before your next reboot can
serve as a useful reality check.

Peace,

Hmmm.  Is there stuff written on the disk.  Is root stuff really written
on da0s1d and /home stuff really written on da0s1a?   Does the system boot 
from it OK?   

Or is it just that the mounts are switched.   
The mount points are not written in to the label.   That comes after
booting.   If it boots, I wonder if it really is switched on the
partitions or if it is just that the partitions are mounted backwards
(probably due to editing /etc/fstab incorrectly).

Re: Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade

2009-01-20 Thread Lowell Gilbert

Ramiro Caso misha...@hotmail.com writes:

 I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before
 making an upgrade. Moreover, user mounts for both /dev/cd0 and /dev/fd0 are
 still operational. Root mounts are possible, but it's doesn't strike me as 
 good
 practice, and it is a little bit of an annoyance. I need help, at least a hint
 in some direction or other, because at this point I'm clueless.

 I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2, GENERIC kernel, i386. I just did a major
 ports updating, including perl-5.8.8 == perl-5.8.9. I ran the
 perl-after-upgrade script, and warned me about possible problems with
 /usr/local/sbin/snmpd and /usr/local/sbin/snmptrapd, but nothing else. I also
 recently installed /usr/ports/misc/compat5x, among other ports. I have some
 security and related ports installed, but they never caused problems before.

 The command I used is the expected one:

   % mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 ~/media/pendrive

 Now it gives the following (quite uninformative) error:

   mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: : Operation not permitted

 Strangely enough, a user mount with a read-only option works just fine:

   % mount -o ro -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 ~/media/pendrive

 The mount point still has the same ownership (me) and permissions (755) as
 before. Both /etc/devfs.rules, /etc/rc.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf have the
 relevant lines for allowing user mounts, namely:

 /etc/sysctl.conf==  vfs.usermount=1
 /etc/devfs.rules==  [localrules=10]
  add path 'da*s*' mode 0660 group usb
 /etc/rc.conf==  devfs_system_ruleset=localrules

 I don't recall this being necessary, but I also have devd enabled in rc.conf,
 although with no special rules for umass in devd.conf. Needless to say, I 
 belong
 to group usb. This configuration worked before just fine. Any ideas?

You certainly always needed permissions on a device to be able to mount
it.  For a device already present at boot time, you would need an entry
in devfs.rules.  For a device plugged in later, you would instead need
devd to know how to handle it.

Re: Port 7070

2009-01-20 Thread Lowell Gilbert

Doug Hardie bc...@lafn.org writes:

 I just ran a netcat (nc -z) on my production servers and found an
 unusual response:

 Connection to  7070 port [tcp/arcp] succeeded!

 I checked on all my production and test servers (7.0 stable as of
 quite some time ago) and got the same response.  I can't figure out
 why that port is open.  It always returns a reset when a connection is
 opened.  netstat -an does not return any 7070 entries.  sockstat does
 not show any 7070 entries.  There is no 7070 entry in /etc/services.
 ktrace of inetd shows nothing.  tcpdump on the server shows the SYN
 and RST packets only.  tcpdump on the client machine shows a complete
 TCP negotiation completion followed by a termination.  The client is
 going across the internet.

 Running the client on a machine on the servers LAN shows that the port
 is not open.  And tcpdump from both shows only a SYN followed by a
 RST.  This indicates that some router between the original client and
 the servers is accepting the connection and then forwarding it on.
 This doesn't happen on other ports (although there may be a couple
 others I haven't chased down yet though).  The only router we have in
 the path is a Cisco 2501 running a 2000 vintage IOS with nothing like
 that in its configuration.  Its a simple pass everything through
 setup.  Any ideas what is happening here?

Sounds like the router is blocking most incoming connections, but not
7070.  7070 is sometimes used for RSTP, which makes some sense to let
through.  Nothing is actually listening on that port on the server,
though, which is why you don't see anything in sockstat et. al.

Is this likely coming from a signal error, like a bad cable? Is it

Nope.  Since you'd only gain a megabyte of disk space (probably less)

Edit user groups

2009-01-20 Thread Akenner


Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. 
I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made 
some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh.


Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default 
doesn't allow just anyone to use su.


I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever 
you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the 
password and go. I looked up how to do this but most of my results came 
back with setting up user accounts, and other things. I did add another 
user that was in the wheel group so I could do it, but I'd really like 
to be able to add my main user account to the wheel group so I can su 
from this one instead of doing su otheruser and then su again to root.


I found while searching for this something that MIGHT be what I'm 
looking for, but after reading it over, it seems I'd have to read 
through the whole man page first and then, it could be bad if I mistype 
something, or I could even screw up an account, which I can't risk.


Is there an exact way to take a user account on my system, and add it to 
the wheel group?

Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group.
That is the normal way of doing it.
I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any
other than root accounts.

Yes.

# ee /etc/group

...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group. For
instance, by default, the entry will appear as such:

wheel:*:0:root

...and if my username is steve, you will append the line like this:

fdisk -B

2009-01-20 Thread Robert

I have a server that has five drives in it. Two drives ad4 and ad6 are
arranged with gmirror as the operating system (7.1 Stable). The FreeBSD
boot manager is installed for this mirror and I would like to remove it
and use the standard FreeBSD MBR ...without messing anything up. 

Can I perform the fdisk -B /dev/ad4 followed by fdisk -B /dev/ad6 from
a livefs disk? Maybe fdisk -B /dev/mirror/gm0?

I have backups but everything is running very nice right now. I don't
reboot very often but I _would_ like to get rid of the boot manager

Thank you

[Trouble Ticket #190137] AutoReply: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 246, Issue 23

2009-01-20 Thread AEBC Support via RT

 times now, the only way was to reinstall
 everything,
 and I was hoping to resolve this by completly finish upgrading the
 ports.
 And .. again the same problem.
 I'm really hoping to get some answers that will solve this problem,
 maybe
 someone had to deal with this  issue before ??
 I will not give up, because Freebsd stole my heart.

 The problem has nothing to do with ports. To restore your root/user
 logins:
 . boot into single user mode;
 . set a new root password;
 . set a new user password;
 . boot into multiuser mode;
 . login and have fun.

I've had the same thing happen to me not 2 weeks ago after upgrading a
server from 7.0-RC2 to 7.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update. For me the problem
had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it
replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no
password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I
ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's
back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced
though..
Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your
machine isn't too far away.

I believe you will find that the system call is fstatfs.
 
 Can any one help me what is the real problem here and how to fix it?

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was

If so, while I do not have a fix for you, I am relieved to see someone
else finally report these symptoms.  Please see

There is additional detail (including kernel trace information 
how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread.  Also
mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no
longer attempts to unmount() a file system.

However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work.
A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was
intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things
recently.

Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss
additional details.

 What would you recomment? ccd or vinum?


 Some comments that may help in the decision:

 - Reliability/resistance to power failures are the most important factor.

 - It doesn't require high performance or high speed.

 
 Either gconcat or ZFS, depending which version of FreeBSD you're running.
 
 gconcat label -v data /dev/raid1 /dev/raid2
 newfs /dev/concat/data
 mkdir /mnt/data  mount /dev/concat/data /mnt/data
 df -h /mnt/data
 
 or

Re: slices to dangerously dedicated

using live CD/DVD make your new disklabel that mirrors existing but is in 
/dev/disk not /dev/diskslice, check it (try mount -r your partitions from 
/dev/disk[a-h]), clean MBR with fdisk, install bootrecord with


bsdlabel -B /dev/disk

then mount your / partition and fix etc/fstab

it's not just about having few kB more space, but NOT having MS-partition 
table. for religious reason, for making thing simpler or less risky if 
you sometimes connect that drive to computer running windoze.

Is it possible to change it to dangerously dedicated without
 backup-wipe-relabel-restore cycle?


Robert Huff

It is possible, but is probably a bad idea (it all depends on why you
want to do this). I just ran a quick test in a virtual machine with a
clean drive. The procedure was:

# sysinstall (run the Fdisk tool to create a single s1 slice on /dev/da4)
# bsdlabel -w /dev/da4s1
# newfs -U /dev/da4s1a
# mount /dev/da4s1a /mnt
# echo hello  /mnt/world
# umount /mnt
# fdisk (to find the starting block of s1)
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 (may not be needed)
# dd if=/dev/da4 of=/dev/da4 bs=16k skip=1 (might also want to specify
'count=' to limit the amount of data copied)
# reboot

After the reboot, I could mount /dev/da4a and read the original
contents, s1 was no more. The key to getting it right is proper input
positioning; you cannot do something like `dd if=/dev/da4s1
of=/dev/da4`. In my case, s1 started at block 32, so I set my dd block
size to 16k and skipped the first block, placing me exactly at the
start of s1 (512 * 32 = 16384 or 16k). You really don't want to copy
one sector at a time (bs=512), and in my case, 16k is the highest that
I could go. If you are moving some other slice like s2, you can set bs
to 1 or 2 megs and just do proper calculation for what skip should be
set to (bs * skip should equal 512 * staring block as reported by
fdisk).

Realize, however, that this isn't exactly the same as creating a
dangerously dedicated disk from the start. You're just moving the
first (or whatever slice you need) to the start of the drive along
with any data that follows. You will not reclaim any disk space this
way, though you may be able to use bsdlabel and growfs later to expand
your partitions.

Good luck!

P.S. Once again would like to emphasize that I would never do this on
any real data because of the risks involved, but it was a fun exercise
to try :)
