Re: QEMU + FreeBSD

It will execute a shell script when it brings up the interface as: $ cat /usr/local/etc/qemu-ifup #!/bin/sh /sbin/ifconfig $1 172.20.0.1 (for the 'ifconfig' you must be root, or use devd hook, or 'sudo' in the script). That's all. Set the other end of the NIC in the guest system to IP 172.20.0.2 end the communication with the host OS (your FreeBSD 7.2) should be fine. To reach the outerworld from the guest, I'm using NAT in the host OS. Check the FreeBSD handbook how to enable this.

This whole idea of using the last sector was so that a fully partitioned disk with data could be turned into a mirrored disk. A neat idea, but hardly the basis for a generic mirroring implementation when it silently corrupts a disk. This wasn't the idea:) People started putting gmirror on top of partitioned disk, because it was easier/simpler/faster than creating mirror, partitioning and copying the data. I for one never put mirror on already partitioned disk. Although it is sometimes safe to use the last sector. Gjournal already looks for UFS and if UFS is in place, it figures out if the last sector is in use - it isn't if partition size is not multiple of UFS block size. I think it's better to change gmirror to use the first sector on the provider. This never creates a race condition and as such, you don't need to invent a priority scheme, that has it's own set of flaws on top of it. The only downside is that it's not easy to make a fully partitioned and populated disk part of a mirror: one would need to move the data forward one sector to free the first sector. This we can actually do by inserting a GEOM that does it while I/O is still ongoing. The good thing is: we need a class that does exactly this for implementing the move verb in gpart. There were two reasons to use the last sector instead of first: 1. You want to be able to boot from gmirror. If all your data will be moved forward your boot sectors and kernel will be harder to find. 2. For recovery reasons you may want to turn off gmirror and still be able to access your data. Note that gmirror can handle the case where disk, slice and partition share the same last sector - it simply stores provider size in its metadata, so once it gets disk for tasting it detects its too big and ignores it, then slice will be given for tasting, but it also has larger size than expected and will be ignored as well. Finally partition will be tasted and gmirror configured. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl p...@freebsd.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?

named startup problems upgrading from 7.1p4 to 7.1p5 or 7.1p6
Hi, I've been meaning to sort this out since the release of 7.1p5, but only just got around to it - I have an installation of 7.1 that runs bind and has been working fine up until I tried to update the system to 7.1p5 (using freebsd-update). As soon as I apply the update reboot, named loads but the startup script hangs. If I press Ctrl+C, the system continues to boot. If I then run /etc/rc.d/named start, named starts, but again the script hangs. I can do DNS lookups while named is running, so it seems to be functioning ok. I tried adding various echo statements to /etc/rc.d/named and found that the script seems to run right through. The hang occurs where /etc/rc.subr echoes out Starting named after the named script has run and that's where things seem to stop! Nothing else that is started by the rc.d scripts hangs, so I'm guessing /etc/rc.subr is ok. I did a diff of /etc/rc.d/named before after the upgrade from p4 to p5 (or p6 which has the same issue) and there are no changes to the file. Nothing seems to be logged anywhere that shows a problem, so I really have no idea what to check next. The only named entry in rc.conf is named_enable=YES.

Re: gmirror gm0 destroyed on shutdown; GPT corrupt
Ivan Voras wrote: Yes, it would be cleaner to implement but it would also make the mirrored devices unbootable. But maybe the class of users needing the functionality is smaller now. Most dedicated server providers can't afford to use hardware RAID systems because that would drastically increase the price of a single system; yet many customers want mirroring. Looks too complicated and fragile. Maybe there's a need for metadata-less automatic mirrors in some way, by storing the configuration somewhere else, possibly in /etc. This might be dangerous in some cases. Imagine booting with two drives swapped; such a configuration might lead to data corruption on a volume which was enumerated incorrectly or swapped. -- Kamigishi Rei KREI-RIPE ___ 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: named startup problems upgrading from 7.1p4 to 7.1p5 or 7.1p6
Ian wrote: Well the fact that if I run /etc/rc.d/named manually after the system has booted, the script also hangs suggests it's not the next process I have just check however ntpdate is the next one in the list to be started and that does start correctly - you can see it report the clock being adjusted. Also, when you do a Ctrl+C to break the named script on bootup, it says Script /etc/rc.d/named interrupted. Something I've just realised is that named stays loaded even when you 'break' the script. on bootup and DNS lookups work (I didn't think that was the case originally, but it is). Hmmm Anything interesting from named in the system logs? You might want to enable /var/log/all.log by following the instructions in /etc/syslog.conf and then see what output you get by bouncing named. It's usually pretty good at pointing out exactly what it thinks the problem is. You could also try running: # /bin/sh -x /etc/rc.d/named start -- make sure named isn't running when you do that. There will be quite a lot of output as the rc system loads all of the various config files, but you should be able to trace exactly where it's got to when it does hang. You're using the system-supplied copy of bind aren't you? Have you got a valid /etc/named/rndc.conf or /etc/named/rndc.key file so you can use rndc(8)? If not, try running: # rndc-confgen /etc/namedb/rndc.conf and then cut'n'paste the indicated key and controls statements from that file into named.conf, stripping out the comment characters as you do (of course). If you're using one of the ports versions of named, do exactly the same thing, but copy or link rndc.conf into /usr/local/etc/ as well.

When I disable the flash plugin, Firefox works smoothly. I suspect a lot of sites are using a new version of flash, which doesn't go down well with the existing browsers.

Note: the above requires at least two weeks of non-productive self-education
on the boss' clock, judging from the fact you post configure output, rather

you are just starting with the GNU autotools experience). Recently

we would need output from config.log around the lines where it says it can't

There are two kinds of trackers, closed and open. With a closed tracker you usually have to upload the torrent file on a website. With open trackers you don't need to do anything other than specify the URLs of the trackers when you create the torrent file. Can ctorrent seed torrents, or do I need another program for that? I would imagine so, or you wouldn't be able to seed after downloading. With most clients you can place the file or directory in the download location, load the torrent file and then tell the client to verify the download. It'll then detect that it's complete and switch to seeding. ___ 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: what character is a physical newline
Just incase you guys are curious the reason for doing the parser from
scratch is it is designed to lex/parse families of languages not just a
single lang for example (there is very large overlap between
c/c++/java/c#/etc. as there is in the tag langs like XML/HTML)... also
generators produce unreadable code (and impossible to hand modify if
you're not quite happy with the generated code) thus I refer to the
design as a heiractical recursive decent parser (i.e. it lexs/parses the
commonalties of a family [or set of families {all ascii vs, unicode
langs for example are a set of families} before it attempts to handle
the actual lang [or family in the case of set of families]).

hi all... my first time using serial ports and modems. the modem is hooked up using RS-232 cable... modem specs: • Baud Rate: 115.2kbps • Bits: 8 • Stop Bits: 1 • Parity: none • Hardware Handshaking: Yes my /etc/ttys: ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 dialup on ttyd1 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 dialup on then i do: # kill -HUP 1 ps shows: 62496 0.0 0.2 3184 952 ?? I 10:53PM 0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyd0 62667 0.0 0.2 3184 1004 ?? I 11:37PM 0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyd1 according to the handbook i would see the above. i'm not sure if i need both ttyd0 and 1 since i have hooked only one modem but there is no explanation about that in the handbook. messages says: Jun 28 23:37:17 moo getty[62667]: open /dev/ttyd1: No such file or directory and no other entries... so i guess that settles the need of ttyd1!?! ok. so now i put in /etc/remote: sio0|com1:dv=/dev/cuad0:br#115200:pa=none: and, following the instructions in the handbook, try reaching the modem doing: # tip -v cuad0 i get: tip: unknown host tip0 dmesg says: sio0: 16550A-compatible COM port port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A sio0: [FILTER] and in the /etc/gettytab i have: std.115200|115200-baud:\ :np:sp#115200: what next? 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

Change this company policy as it is unproductive. Sounds like something implemented by those lacking experience with FreeBSD. The time port maintainers have spent developing patch sets that ensure an easy build and install is not being leveraged. The time you spend developing your own workarounds to build software with the various autotools is more waste, you are duplicating efforts already made by others. The amount of time and effort you will spend when it comes time to update is effort wasted, because now you are duplicating the efforts of others yet *again*. If the company policy is dictated by people who have no concept of how to manage efficient man-hour usage, and who will not listen when others have superior suggestions, your company has other problems besides it's lack of knowledge concerning FreeBSD. -Mike If management refuses to listen to reason, you can still benefit from the efforts of the port maintainers by studying their makefiles and patches. Their stuff builds and installs correctly, or it would never have been committed into the portstree. It's probably a lot easier to understand the FreeBSD porting system than it is to understand the autotools suite. ;-) ___ 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 Ok, can we get off subject of managment and get to the actual subject of this issue? I didn't had any issues while doing exact same thing on another box, so, it's this particular box that wont compile it properly is there any suggestions towards solution for this particular problem (other then changing managment) =) -- http://alexus.org/ ___ 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
