Re: Is NFS Locking Reliable?
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. I have seen problems with NFS locking even in completely homogeneous environments. With a mix like that, I would not trust it as far as I could throw a Cray :) 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. Lockups are probably the least of your concerns, at least where pine is involved. Dunno what sort of data firefox and opera are protecting from race conditions, but I suppose pine is being used for email. Cases will arise wherein mail mysteriously disappears, because the client and the delivery agent were both updating the inbox at the same time. Often there will be no noticeable symptoms, except for users wondering what happened to that important message they were supposed to have gotten (and which the MTA log shows was in fact delivered). Never export an inbox read/write if reliability of mail delivery is needed. Use IMAP instead. It seems to be no specific operating system problem - all combinations of clients and servers are involved. I suspect the reason NFS locking is so troublesome is that it presents problems which are fundamentally incomputable. Prior to restoration of communication, how can any automaton possibly distinguish between * a temporary loss of the communication link (but the peer is still running and the link will eventually be re-established), and * the peer has crashed, and will eventually reboot? ___ 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

Bests, Olivier I am of the same bent. For many security issues that do not mandate a reboot I just apply the patches following the instructions in the security advisory. 32 bit drivers such as NVidia on a desktop box mean you're stuck with i386. These same drivers usually have problems with PAE kernels as well. In the server world you are better off not running a PAE kernel. PAE is kludge and a true 64 bit implementation will give you better performance. The thing to watch out here would be a controller driver based on a binary blob. How it was originally built by the mfr can cause trouble in a mix-n- match environment. I believe most controller drivers these days are OK on 64 bit platforms, it is just a detail to keep an eye out on. But - PAE is something better done away with and relegated to history.

So, if anyone else is interested / doesn't already know, if you

The easiest way (I think) is to use devd, in combination with a USB
drive that has a unique label.
Say you have a USB drive formatted with a UFS filesystem. You use
'tunefs -L' to give this drive a unique label,
e.g. 'FOO'. Then you can put the following in /etc/devd.conf
notify 1000 {
match systemDEVFS;
match subsystem CDEV;
match cdev /dev/ufs/FOO;
action sh /usr/local/sbin/autorun /dev/ufs/FOO ;
};
Where the script /usr/local/sbin/autorun would contain the required actions
(mount, check, run, umount, beep).
The reason for using a labeled device is that you might not want to run
the script on any old USB drive! If you want to use a FAT formatted
drive you should use /dev/msdosfs/FOO for the path.
Last week I submitted a patch to get this system and subsystem
documented in the manual page of devd.conf. It should be in CURRENT now,
and will be MFC'd to STABLE in a week or so.

For most USB storage devices /root/bin/usbstick_attach parses the output
of `camcontrol devlist` looking for entries like (da*,pass*) or
(pass*,da*) and then it sets the permissions on the device to 660 and,
for convenience, creates a link called usbstick in the dev directory
pointing to the real device. This way the I can always
mount /dev/usbstick on one of my own subdirectories without having to
determine what device was created. I could have made the script mount
the USB stick but if I have to make the effort to mount it myself I
might be more likely to remember to unmount it afterwards.
The cameras are a special case since all I want to do is to check for
new photos and copy them to my photo archive so if devd detects one of
my cameras it mounts the camera with the higher priority attach 20
rule which invokes /root/bin/camcopy to copy the photos before
unmounting the camera and sounding the console bell to let me know I
can unplug it.
The scripts are a bit primitive and get totally confused if I insert
more than one USB storage device at a time so would need some
refinement for general use but work OK for me as the only user on this
PC.

Disabling write cache on eSATA enclosures
Hi. atacontrol is reporting that the write cache on an eSATA enclosure I am using (Silicon Image chipset) with Silicon Image SATA controller has write cache enabled even though I want it disabled in loader.conf. My feeling is this has to be controlled by the enclosure, though such control doesn't exist. Is this it, or is the OS still responsible for turning off cache on external drives? What's your experience? Thanks. ___ 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
Re: How to auto-detect a USB drive?
It's missing the call to devctl_notify in the devfs handling. This was added to RELENG_7 on the 28th of May 2008. You'll need at least rev. 1.208.2.4 of /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_conf.c. See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/kern/kern_conf.c?f=uonly_with_tag=RELENG_7logsort=date Looks like were out of luck then. Our version is 1.208.2.1 from circa 2007/12/07. I assume we can't just replace this one file with the latest version? We simply cannot move to 7.1 at this point.

An alternative solution is to run a script from a cron job that checks for the labeled device and performs the necessary actions if found. It could mean that you have to wait up to a minute (the minimum granularity of cron) for the process to start. You have to make sure that the script fails gracefully if it is started while a previous instance is still running!

Re: acroread error with libgobject-2.0.so.0
David Banning wrote: [snip] Please forgive if I seem a trifle dense, but how did you go about installing? If done using the ports system, as part of the process linux_compat and various linux-* ports should have installed as dependencies. Perhaps the install succeeded but left out linux_load=YES from /boot/loader.conf? I installed from the ports - (FreeBSD 3s1.com 6.2-RELEASE) but it didn't touch the /boot/loader.conf file. Is there a way to load this without rebooting? Yes - kldload linux.ko That is provided that the linuxolator was actually installed as it should have been. See below. Placing linux_load=YES in loader.conf will just ensure it's always loaded at every boot. Possibly it may be one of the few things that need linprocfs_load=YES too, but I doubt this because there would be a different error. I'll look at that. Probably not required. IIRC the error associated with this is pretty clear. I would expect it to be looking for the library referenced above somewhere below the /compat or /usr/compat (the first is a link) which is where the linuxolator resides. This library should be being provided by the linux- gtk2-2.6.10_1 port. Since the acroread8 is a linux blob it should be using the linuxolator to run. The acroread8 port did not install linux-gtk2 Maybe something b0rked in dependency land. I believe the object failing to load is part of this port. You can install it manually. Here is what the ports says on the web site: acroread8-8.1.3_1 Adobe Reader for view, print, and search PDF documents (ENU) Long description : Sources : Changes : Download Maintained by: h...@freebsd.org Also listed in: linux Requires: acroreadwrapper-0.0.20080906, hicolor-icon-theme-0.10_2, linux-atk-1.9.1_1, linux-cairo-1.0.2, linux-expat-1.95.8, linux-fontconfig-2.2.3_7, linux-gtk2-2.6.10_1, linux-hicolor-icon-theme-0.5_1, linux-jpeg-6b.34, linux-nvu-1.0_1, linux-pango-1.10.2_1, linux-png-1.2.8_2, linux-scim-gtk-fc4-1.4.4, linux-scim-libs-fc4-1.4.4_1, linux-tiff-3.7.1, linux-xorg-libs-6.8.2_5, linux_base-fc-4_14 Theoretically dependency tracking in the ports system should have installed all of these, and anything they in turn depend on. Also notice that the default linux version is fedora core 4 which is rather old. It is entirely possible that even with all of the other dependencies above properly installed it could still fail if the binary blob from Adobe was compiled against a later version. If such were the case I'd imagine someone would have pinged the port maintainer by now, so I sort of discount the possibility. One clue is the default behavior inherent in acroread8 is it will fall back to trying to use FreeBSD libs in place of the linux versions it can't find.

The boot and install are also OK with NetBSD 4.0 and 4.0.1 (i386 and amd64).

Can't work out which disk we are booting from
Hi, I have installed freebsd 7.1 on a 8GB usb flash drive. Now, it seems that the freebsd loader is unable to identify the usb disk where is booting from(da0s1a).

Here is what the loader prints out: [...] Bios drive A: is disk0 [...] Can't work out which disk we are booting from.

Since then, xine stops compilation with the following error : curl-7.19.2 may use GNU TLS only if OpenSSL support is disabled. Error code 1 I checked the Makefile in /usr/port/ftp/curl but could not figure out any way to disable either GNU TLS or OpenSSL support. So in the current situation, I cannot install curl and therefore cannot install xine. Can somebody please help me get out of this situation ?

Problem with installing acroread8
Hi all,
I got another problem I can't solve on my own. I was trying to install
acroread8 from /usr/ports and came up with the following :

K you know how with traffic shapping you can control only the traffic leaving you, how it is that torrent clients say they can control the download as well as the upload. I would think the client can only control the upload. If the client reads from a TCP socket slower than the data is coming-in, the buffers fill-up and the sliding-window algorithm in TCP causes the sending side to slow down. Sure. A traffic shaper could efficiently regulate downloads by proxying TCP. And even though PF does some limited TCP proxying, unfortunately dummynet and altq work at the IP level. I don't know why you say 'unfortunately' here? I can only talk about ipfw + dummynet from my own experience, but you can use dummynet pipes and their queue/s to shape any sort of IP(v4) traffic, in- or outbound, directed to/from any sort of flow ipfw can distinguish by any of the usual packet selectors (TCP, UDP, ICMP, raw IP or by any IP protocol or options; for TCP/UDP by src/dest ports as well as addresses, whatever) While it's true that shaping listen-only unacknowledged streaming UDP by dropping further packets once the inbound pipe's queue is full involves packet loss, many real-world UDP transfers (eg realaudio) will back off from sending more in the absense of some sort of specific or periodic acknowledgements. I'm not sure what happens with multicast traffic. cheers, Ian ___ 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
