Is NFS Locking Reliable?
I'd like to ask for your experiences with NFS locking in larger environments. Our experiences are not so satisfying. Our NFS servers for user home directories are on FreeBSD (6.4), MacOSX (10.5), Linux (still 2.4 kernel) and Tru64-UNIX boxes; NFS clients are mostly Linux (2.6 kernel) and FreeBSD (6.4, 7.0, but w/o kernel lockd) systems. There are periods of several days without problems, but from time to time, on one, two, or several (but not all) clients application processes which use locking suddenly hang in kernel mode - namely firefox, opera, pine. It seems to be no specific operating system problem - all combinations of clients and servers are involved. There are some suspicious facts that out network may cause problems although not all ip subnets are protected by cisco firewall modules. But there may be other circumstances which could lead to sporadic packet losses or whatever else ... So, if anyone has similar or other experiences with NFS locking, I'm very interested in reading about! Thank you very much in advance!

Re: Is NFS Locking Reliable?

Our NFS servers for user home This matches my historical experience, especially if you add in periodically wedged and ignored lock state. First, it is useful to realize that locking over NFS has, until version 4, been done outside of NFS itself. That is, there are a pair of daemon (usually called statd and lockd) processes that negotiate the lock outside of the stateless mechanism that is the NFS data access method up to v3. My past v3 experience has been that only in the case where you have exactly the same version of statd and lockd on both sides (on the client and on the server) is it possible that you _may_ experience truly reliable locking. Note that this is only possible with the same OS at the same revision/patch on both client and server. NFS v4 is no longer stateless, and manages locks internally, which I would guess would make things much better, though my experience on mixed environments under v4 is much more limited. What version of the NFS protocol are you using? You can find this out via /usr/sbin/nfsstat If you are stuck with a v3 client, my recommendation would be to turn locking off altogether for that client, as I have found that this works in general better, as the applications desiring the lock are then at least aware that the lock won't work, rather than being led up the garden path by a successful return from a call to lockd that later is not honoured. If upgrading all to v4 is possible, it is probably worth a try, and good luck!

Help required for configuring FreeBSD with DHCP
Hi all, I have a dual boot system (FreeBSD 7.1 + Windows 2000). I am trying out FreeBSD for the first time with an ISP who runs a DHCP server. Until the times of static addresses, everything was so simple in FreeBSD. Now I am forced to ask for help because the ISP is willing to help only for Windows. And indeed my Windows 2000 is sailing the internet smoothly enough, so I can't really blame him. I am using a Realtek 8139D NIC on an x86 system. When I ask sysinstall to configure rl0, it asks me whether I want to use DHCP. When I say yes, it still gives me the same form to fill out as it does for static IP addresses. I don't have any idea how to fill out this form when DHCP is being used. Please note that on Windows, the following are enabled : 1) Obtain an IP address automatically 2) Obtain DNS server address automatically Everything else (IP address/Default dateway/etc) is greyed out. Can anyone please tell me how to get my FreeBSD system up on DHCP. The only other piece of information I can provide is the hostname I have been using so far : unxfbsdi.freebsd.localdomain Thanks in advance for any help.

puzzling ipnat behavior
i've asked this question before, but i must have been unclear. i hope this is better: i'm puzzled by how ipnat works, particularly by the fact that when the ip's on an inside nic are mapped to the ip on my outside nic, i have to configure ipfilter to allow any ip that might hit the outside nic access to the ip's on the inside nic. so, where wpi0 is the outside nic the 1st /24 in 10.0.0.0 contains the ip of the inside nic everything behind it: ipnat.rules: allow wpi0 10.0.0.0/24 - ip on outside nic/32 ipf.rules:pass in quick from any to 10.0.0.0/24 i should have thought that since everything coming from outside to 10.0.0.0/24 is addressed to the ip on outside nic this would be sufficient: pass in quick from ip on outside nic to 10.0.0.0/24 but it isn't. what's wrong w/ my thinking? why isn't this rule a security hazard? david coder network engineer emeritus ntt/verio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Sure Robert, This is what I do to update the whole ports tree. Am I missing something? 1) use cvsup and get the entire ports 2) cd /usr/ports make index 3) cd /usr/ports make fetchindex 4) /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu 5) /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -fu Robert Huff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Ldapadd Crashed with Segmentation Fault
Hi, I was playing with OpenLDAP installed on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE installed through the port system. The configuration file /usr/local/etc/slapd.conf was edited: ... databasebdb #suffix dc=my-domain,dc=com #rootdn cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com suffix dc=example,dc=com rootdn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com ... I created a test LDIF file named test1.ldif: dn: dc=example,dc=com objectclass: dcObject objectclass: organization o: Example Company dc: example dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalRole cn: Manager Then I used ldapadd to add the new entries in the LDIF file: # ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com -W -f test1.ldif Enter LDAP Password: adding new entry dc=example,dc=com adding new entry cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) Any idea what went wrong?

Hong Why it crashed? don't know. Most segfaults in my experience (few and far between) are due to compiled options that crash it. My experience with OpenLDAP has taught me the rootdn specified in slapd.conf is a superuser who DOES NOT always need to be specified in the LDAP directory (some apps look for it, some apps just use the values you provide and OpenLDAP binds to the super-user defined there) My first suggestion is to (optionally, preferred) remove the database files, since it may not have added correctly, edit test1.ldif and remove the user (last 3 lines), and readd. If it still crashes, consider limiting the options on the server and recompiling pretty vanilla. Some ideas, no firm reason. ktrace ldapadd to find details. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
