ramdisk creation

2009-06-11 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot

Hello,

I would like to speed up amavisd operation by allowing it to use 
ramdisk, so I thought I would follow the advice given here:

http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/amavisd_tmpfs.shtml

However, I just want to make sure I get the procedure right. In my case, 
the temp folder is /var/amavisd/tmp


So (1) I need to create an entry in /etc/fstab
md /var/amavisd/tmp mfs rw,-s512m 2 0

(2) create the ramdisk
mdmfs -s 512m md /var/amavids/tmp

(3) mount the ramdisk
mount /var/amavids/tmp

Is the procedure right? I read mdmfs man and hope I am OK here.

If it is OK, I guess I need to stop amavisd before creating ramdisk and 
mounting it, right?


Thanks a lot for all feedback you can give me!

Should I then first install python26-2.6.2 from the ports?

Shouldn't the portupgrade have somewhere asked to install a higher

Xorg on FreeBSD 8* i386

2009-06-11 Thread Al Plant

Aloha,

I have had problems trying to install the new Xorg on Amd64 box with 
Nvidia card and also old trio.


I see many posts of issues on this on Questions List. Can I run the new 
Xorg on the Amd64 with nvidia or do I have to use i386?


Also is it possible to use an older version of Xorg to make a card work 
  that was working on the older version. And can the hal setup be 
eliminated if it causes the video to fail?


I  want to try the previously working box ( was Running FreeBSD 7* ) as 
a desktop with 8*.


Thanks for any help.

Update /usr/src with sources and build a kernel from that, and use that

In general when you make an updated kernel you should rebuild and install
world too.  This doesn't apply to building a different (custom) kernel when
world has not changed.  Okay, it is often true that within major versions
you can run with an updated kernel on the old world for a long time without
encountering a problem, but problems from kernel-world mismatch are not
extremely rare.

If and when you install the sources, check the procedures in UPADATING (near
the bottom) for best practices procedure.


After this, assuming this is the correct path, can the same path be used to
upgrade other servers, and then just plop the kernel on (same hardware.)


With the above concern about kernel-world mismatch in mind, yes this is
likely to work, but the best practice would be to make a release.  This
should work even if there is a minor, perhaps unknown, variation in
hardware.



I am not sure if this is the right path, but looking to understand it a
little better.

If it is a GENERIC kernel on the other servers, you can follow the

If you only want binary upgrades, freebsd-update is probably your best

It *is* overly complex. The original design goal of "easily create portable 
shell to configure and Makefiles" has long been replaced with "cruft now 
requiring perl, additional files for linking (.la) and overall confusion when 
things don't work". It is no wonder that larger projects are switching to 
cmake and smaller to jam/scons.

That said, if the developers know what they're doing, you won't see any OS 
assumption in the source code (#ifdef __FreeBSD__ and similar) and you would 
be able to assert portability differences by grepping for 
'^#ifn?def[[:space:]]+HAVE_' in headers and source. Problems with 
configure/automake usually can be classified in the following categories:
- Unhandled cases developers are not aware of: prerequisite headers or headers 
in different locations then are assumed. Library symbols in differently named 
libraries.
- Attempt to figure out a prerequisite is present not directly supported by 
autoconf/automake then created by the developers in not so portable script.
- Assumptions on struct members, number of arguments to certain functions, 
size of data structures, presence of symbols.
- Lex/yacc/bison parser generator version problems.

I've always found curl (ftp/curl) port a good example of autoconf usage.

As you may recall from a recent post I've been trying to get nTop

track) I *THINK* it's actually working for the most part.

 

Before certain people get pi$$ed off about this not being a Solaris list
- chill for a sec!

 

I'm just looking for some materials that can help me understand the
whole configure/make/compile/linking/etc. stuff.  Someone that knew this
stuff could've probably resolved my issues in a few hours.  It seems
COMPLETELY overly complex to me - maybe cause the developer tries to
make it as portable as possible, but with every *nix like things putting

it can get hairy.

 

Anyway, TIA for your input.  Hopefully this experience and the
references you can point me to will help the next time I try to get
something onto FreeBSD!

 

TIA!

 wrote:


The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default

However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by
run_rc_command.  Thus I set these three lines:

start_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start"
stop_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop"
status_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status"

Originally, I used "$1" instead of start, stop, and status.  However
this had the effect of making "restart" restart twice, once for the
start method and once for the stop method because
"/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart" was being run each time.


If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the
status (running or not).


I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method
available.  In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the
urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting.


I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered
process, killing that process will kill all the children as well.

Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left
the urchind processes hanging around.  But no matter, I got things working.



Drew, I'm glad you were able to get it working.  There may be a way to kill the 
urchind processes as well.   If you set procname to urchin, the rc.subr script 
might understand that to mean any process that begins with that string.  I 
haven't tested it, but looking at the script (/etc/rc.subr), it appears to me 
to be the case.  If that doesn't work, perhaps procname urchin* would.

Knowledge of how sh treats variables is assumed for any unix admin. The level

 one can easily trace how the ifconfig_ variable is evaluated

This is because bsd.port.mk now uses constructs that are not supported by
the `/usr/bin/make' binary of 5.X.

If you *really* have to stick with 5.1-RELEASE-p18, it may be worth trying
to compile a newer snapshot of `src/usr.bin/make' from 7-STABLE and install
it as say `/usr/bin/make-7.x'.  Then you can try building ports from a
more recent `/usr/ports' tree with *that* make binary:

# cd /usr/ports/CATEGORY/APP
# make-7.x config

Most of the `ports/' makefile glue should use ${MAKE} to invoke child
instances of the make utility, and with a custom `make-7.x' binary this
should default to the correct version of `/usr/bin/make-7.x'.

This is a bit of a "hack" though, so if it fails in other ways, you will
have to weigh the two options: (1) staying with 5.1 and trying to build
ports with a custom `make-7.x' binary, possibly investing a lot of time to
fix `ports/Mk/bsd.*.mk' problems as they come up, and (2) updating the base
system to a more recent FreeBSD release.

That means that snd_hda in _not_ compiled into the kernel!

compile stuff for 5.X.  Use the following line in your ports-supfile to
get the last ports tree that was supported in 5.X:

*default release=cvs tag=RELEASE_5_EOL

instead of

*default release=cvs tag=.

Still, since this is going to be really old you may still have problems
(missing distfiles and so on). But is worth trying if you must stay with
5.X for whatever reason.

Make Question

2009-06-11 Thread Peter Clark

Hello,

I have inherited an old FreeBSD 5.1 machine(5.1-RELEASE-p18). I realize 
that the short answer to my question is more than likely to upgrade the 
OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but 
I do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on 
this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was 
from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree 
and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows:


make config
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1780: warning: String comparison 
operator should be either == or !=
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1780: Malformed conditional

"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 6276: if-less endif
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 6276: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

I even tried to run portmanager -s to see what condition all the ports 
were in and that same failure showed up:


portmanager -s

Hmmm... true!

% kldstat -v

118 pci/snd_cmi
119 sound

But anyway, if you would kldload snd_something AFTER the kernel
or through the means of /boot/loader.conf, kldstat without -v
would show it, with .ko appended, as far as I remember.

I believe documentation should describe this since this is a major

If that's more than one backslash that's bad since it makes it cryptic.
I will investigate and will file a PR with patch.

Of course. /etc/rc.conf is "executed", in the normal way it
is used it simply associates values to variables. If you
would put

echo "Get me beer!"

into /etc/rc.conf, you would see this message.

So what you did: You executed

kldload snd_hda="YES"

which you could also have tried the same command at the
command line (sh).



> Indeed. But it does not load snd_hda

Of course not. You could put

kldload snd_hda.ko

into /etc/rc.conf, but that isn't the way such things are done.




> None. No driver. Always have to add it manually.

Which would not work if the driver was actually compiled int
the kernel. Example: I have compiled snd_cmi and sound into
my kernel. So my kldstat looks like this:

# kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
 13 0xc040 6959cc   kernel
 21 0xc0a96000 683b4acpi.ko

If I now try to load the snd_cmi kernel module, this happens:

# kldload snd_cmi.ko 
kldload: can't load snd_cmi.ko: File exists

This indicates that the driver is already present. It has been
preloaded by the kernel (it is IN the kernel), so it cannot
be loaded by kldload.

So if you ARE able to kldload the module, it hasn't been in
the kernel (or at least not loaded). Maybe you can check your
hints file for some strange entries?

Good luck.

So escape use and escape the quotes with a backslash. You may need more then 
one backslash, depending on the level of evaluation in /etc/rc.subr and 
/etc/rc.d/netif.

The reason probably being that underscores are different characters from 
spaces and FreeBSD not making assumptions on things really being other things.

Since you're not the OP, could you post your full kernel config and dmesg of

Right. This ctl basically does what rc scripts are normally doing. So this is 
the 20% case where many of rc's assumptions are incorrect and you need to 
override this logic. The main is that the command is not the running daemon. 
As such, one need to override the default start, stop, restart and status 
commands.

ifconfig(8) doesn't mention this either but it works if I put quotes

I would assume spaces should be substituted for '_' like in Linux. But I

I presume you didn't build the index yourself. Setting

Than that is weird. Because if snd_hda is built into the kernel, you
should not be able to load the module.

I don't think that can have any effect. :-) The setting

snd_hda_load="YES"

in /boot/loader.conf would be the correct choice. Anyway, if
you included

device  sound
device  snd_hda

in your kernel configuration file, the driver (a) should be
compiled in and (b) loaded at startup. Of course, it won't
show up in kldstat then, but

% cat /dev/sndstat

should indicate the running driver.

hello:

do you really need to compile it in the kernel or just allow the
module to auto-load at start-up?

So the kernel now builds correctly with 'device sound' and 'device snd_hda'?
If not, what message does the kernel build yield?

Ok, the ALC889 on board is listed as supported by snd_hda(4).

BTW, have a look at the BUGS section of snd_hda(4). Maybe your problem
is related to this.

If loading the module works, have you tried adding snd_hda_load="YES" to
/boot/loader.conf, as per the manual page?

Taking a look in the comm.test file, it looks to me like you already had

Hi thanks for your answer but I didn't manage to solve this by looking at your

My open ports:

vi work/tcllib-1.11/modules/comm/comm.test

Going to the port line gives me: (I changed it manually to 47557)

    catch {close $shdl}
    unset -nocomplain shdl port
    set msg
} {couldn't open socket: address already in use}

The error message I get is:

It mostly seems to depend on the platform.

I've got an aging Athlon 64 3200+ with 4GB of memory.  I've been using ZFS
in some capacity since the early 7.0 RC days.  When I'd run FreeBSD/i386
there wasn't much I could do to prevent panics.  I did all the recommended
tuning mentioned on the FreeBSD wiki and I searched these lists and never
could get a stable configuration.  However, under amd64 I've never had a
panic with ZFS.

I was testing some pretty weird stuff, too, and ZFS was rock solid for me.
I was running ZFS over geli, often with compression, taking snapshots every
minute for an experimental script.  Normal usage or stress-testing load, it
never failed me.  I'd even run ZFS with file-backed devices on top of ZFS
or gjournal (both on top of geli), and no stability problems (though I
wouldn't recommend such a setup for a production server).

I know my account is purely anecdotal, but I've been a unix admin for a
long time and I would trust ZFS with my personal data as well as with any
any client's data if ZFS met requirements that couldn't be met with UFS2.
I don't use ZFS on my workstation because I simply don't need the features
and it's slower than UFS.  For now, gjournal does an adequate job.

-- Geoff

P.S. -- I periodically check back at prgmr.com in hopes of seeing official
FreeBSD guest support.  I love your pricing, but I tend to avoid Linux if I
can.  Any thoughts on this?

All I want to do is create a script within the rc.d framework that

"/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start" when the system boots and
"/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop" when the system shuts down.

Following the examples in the guide mentioned above, here is my 
attempt

at that file:

# !/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: urchin
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable urchin:

eval "${rcvar}=\${${rcvar}:-'NO'}"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable="YES"' is in /etc/rc.conf.
However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but
doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed.  See this output:

urchin# ./urchin-server start
Starting urchin.

Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action


I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept.  I'd really appreciate a 
kick

in the right direction.



Where is urchin located?  /usr/local/bin?  /usr/local/bin/urchin/bin?
Or somewhere else?  Is urchinctl a shell or perl script?


There is no actual "urchin" as far as I know.  The control file is
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl.  It is a executable file:

urchin# file /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped

After running "/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start", I have these
related processes:

urchin# ps acux | grep urchin

And conversely, "/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop" removes all of
the above processes.



In your script command is path_to_urchinctl.  rc.subr will look for a 
process named urchinctl and a pidfile named urchinctl.pid.  It appears 
that neither will be found, so the script can't stop or restart the 
processes, because it doesn't know the pid and therefore the process 
that it needs to kill.  That doesn't explain why it won't start the 
processes though.  I *think* you need to name the script urchin rather 
than urchin-server, but I can't test that.


The rc script name does not seem to matter.

To fix the pid problem, rc.subr offers some optional statements that, 
with the proper arguments, can overcome the problem.  You'll have to 
read man rc.subr and test it to figure out what works, but here's an 
example that might work:


pidfile="/var/run/urchinwebd.pid
check_pidfile="${pidfile}


The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default 
and I can't figure out how to make it do so.


However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.  
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by 
run_rc_command.  Thus I set these three lines:


start_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start"
stop_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop"
status_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status"

Originally, I used "$1" instead of start, stop, and status.  However 
this had the effect of making "restart" restart twice, once for the 
start method and once for the stop method because 
"/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart" was being run each time.


If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the 
status (running or not).  


I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method 
available.  In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the 
urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting.


I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered 
process, killing that process will kill all the children as well.
Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left 
the urchind processes hanging around.  But no matter, I got things working.


Thanks for your help!

Drew

If they find it useful , they may attach a new page having sections , for

   . Services for FreeBSD

Thanks Matthew for such a detailed and informative response.

I'll look into this today, and report back to the list for archive

So I may suggest you use man ipfw and google a little bit - the answers
are simple.
Also I may suggest you to use ipf, which is in my point of view far more
powerful.


you are joking or just don't know ipfw. i used both, ipf when i used 
NetBSD and then in FreeBSD a bit, until i learned how to use ipfw.

FreeBSD as a router






Hello all,
I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm seeking help.
For entire time I have been making everything with Windows, but now
I'm stumbled upon problem, where only router on FreeBSD + IPFW could
help me.
I have installed FreeBSD, compiled kernel, found how to launch VPN
connection to ISP. But, further, I don't know how to go :-(

I could not figure out how to start natd and make routing with next
rules:
  1) Connection to Internet are made via VPN to ISP, but ISP have
  some internal resources free of charge, which are accessible
  without VPN. How to explain natd and ipfw that all users may go to
  these free resources without pipe and unlimited to all users
  2) How to give all users right to go to the Internet by UDP
  27015-27050 and TCP 27015-27050 (Steam) with pipe.

Actually, no I did not. I did read the FreeBSD Handbook, specifically
the portions dealing with sound and recompiling the kernel. Nowhere
did I see a reference to read the man page for the sound driver, nor an
example of how to install it in the kernel. I did, eventually, find an
example of how to install via the kernel by Googling for it. I believe
that the Handbook should be somewhat more specific though in this area.

In any case, thanks for all those who took the time to reply.

If you build your kernel (#4) using "make buildkernel":

cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/${KERNCONF}
vi vers.c // edit SCCSSTR and VERSTR
make

cp kernel /boot/kernel

natd is now part of ipfw (but older userland natd is still available)

man ipfw

Yes it's complex but DO SPEND FEW HOURS and read in from beginning to end!

I did the same some time ago and it's really worth of it.

Both point 1 and 2 is just simple thing for that great tool, just make 
rule for "free resources" with skipto command, or reverse rule matching 
queue command.


After reading, feel free to post me priv for some help, but i don't think 
you'll need it.

This is for a printer that understands lpd protocol natively,
and it presumes that you will send it only languages that it
understands natively.  (This one happens to be smart enough
to handle -- at least -- both plain text and PostScript; if
you want to "lpr textfile" to a PostScript-only printer you'll
need some filters.)

lp|Samsung ML-2571N PostScript network printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=ml2571n:sd=/var/spool/output/ml2571n:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

You also need to map the name to an IP address in /etc/hosts,
something like this

192.168.200.201 ml2571n

or in DNS.

Or use jot(1) instead of two for loops:

for i in `jot -w %02x 256 0`; do mkdir $i; done

To see the output of the jot in a readable format:

jot -w %02x 256 0 | rs 0 16

You have to escape the percent sign in crontab with "\":

run.  The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline
or % character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell
specified in the SHELL variable of the cronfile.
Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with
backslash (\), will be changed into newline characters, and
all data after the first % will be sent to the command as
standard input.

The only way to be sure is to test it , I've read at 7.2 it has reached
stability.


As long as there is no recovery tool for ZFS it cannot be treated safe.
In SUNs theory it just can't fail - which is nonsense unless machines are 
perfect and you'll never experience hardware problems. Not disk - but main 
computer (CPU, memory).


It's similar to linux reiserfs i used long time ago. Well it had 
reiserfsck, but it should be called reiserdestroyfs :)

I nfs mount my freeBSD server on my mac, 10.4. For some reason the
mount command doesn't seem to figure out to use mount_nfs, at least
not for me so I run it directly.

mount_nfs -Ps nfs.server.ip:/path/to/share mnt

The -P has to be used with linux nfs servers to use privileged ports,
but not sure if it does with FreeBSD, I also us -s so that if the
server goes down I can kill the connection
