snapshot rsync dump/restore
I want to clone a FreeBSD system on another system. Say, Mondaymorning I use the dump(8) to make dumpfiles of all filesystems (dumpofroot.dmp, dumpofvar.dmp, ...tmp.dmp, ...usr.dmp, ...home.dmp ) on an external USB disk. The original system keeps running. Then Wednesday I setup FreeBSD on the new system, and use restore(8) to put the contents of my dumpfiles in the filesystems of that clone system. Then I still need to have the changes occured during Mondaymorning till Wednesdayafternoon on the original system, to be put in some way on the clone system, so that these are not lost. I was told one could do this using rsync and by using a snapshot it would even be faster (?) Is rsync save regarding soft-links ? How exactly would one best proceed? ___ 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

Presumably you did a level 0 dump to make your initial copy? Did you happen to use the -u flag to dump? ie. update /etc/dumpdates? If so, then you can just do an incremental dump of everything that has changed since. (This is standaard dump(1) functionality). So long as the filesystems on the second machine haven't changed in the meantime, you should be able to just restore the incremental dump on top of the original full backup to get things pretty much in synch. (Although watch out for files that were deleted between the full and the incremental dumps). If you didn't update /etc/dumpdates, then you can manually edit /etc/dumpdates to achieve the same result. Failing that, yes, you can use rsync to synchronise the filesystem state. You don't have to snapshot the original system, but it will help to get you a consistent point-in-time copy of the original server. To create a snapshotted and mounted directory tree see the section on 'snapshot' in mount(8). If you have several filesystems to rsync to the other machine, you should snapshot all of them and mount them one over the other in the same relation as the original filesystems. Then you can rsynch the whole snapshotted directory tree to your new server in one command.

Re: Re-compiling PHP changes server responsiveness
Matthew Seaman wrote: [snip] I get: [warn] (2)No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter, and no new errors in /var/log/httpd-error.log four times Tried adding accf_http=YES to /boot/loader.conf, and re-booting of course. This is just a warning message and doesn't stop apache working or not. Enabling accf_http should give you a bit of a performance boost under heavy load and help you withstand certain types of DoS attack, but it's not required. I found I needed both accf_data_load=YES and accf_http_load=YES, but I am also running SSL too. I've also noticed that I tend to not receive this error when Apache starts after a fresh system boot. Have never tried to examine it further as I don't reboot or restart Apache very often. It just seemed happier when I added the http_load into the mix and only spews the error at non-reboot restarts. [snip] What else should I look at? Try restarting httpd from the command line: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart This will run a configtest and then try and start up apache. Then check that apache is still running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 status If apache has mysteriously disappeared and there are no messages in log files, then it means apache crashed during the startup process soon after daemonising. That's pretty diagnostic for loading a dynamic module that disagrees with it. At a guess, and given that you've reinstalled all your php modules, I think you may be being hit by the php module load order problem. In that case, running php from the command line will probably also segv on you. This is something that has had quite a lot of attention on this list, but there isn't a really good solution yet, other than manually reordering the entries in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini Also, if you're running eAccelerator, make sure you recompile it at the same time you upgrade the main lang/php5 port: eAccelerator will cause Apache to crash if you try and run it against a different version of PHP than it was originally compiled for. The same would apply whether it was xcache or the Zendoptimizer. The way to pin the problem down is to rename extensions.ini temporarily to extensions.ini.bak and comment out the #LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so line temporarily. Start/restart Apache and if it works OK with serving static content it confirms the problem is PHP. Then add the Loadmodule line again in httpd.conf and restart. If it restarts with no errors and again serves static pages fine the PHP module itself is OK. Trying to run something like a CMS will still be error prone as the various modules it needs aren't being loaded and found, as the extensions.ini file is still renamed. Note that if Apache is happy with mod_php while extensions.ini is still renamed it also confirms no major flaw in the php.ini file. If Apache runs fine with the mod_php module then the trouble is in the extensions. Rename the extensions.ini back to it's original state. There is a script that may be run to realize a close approximation of the extension loading order problem: fixphpextorder.sh which can be found here: http://www.pingle.org/2007/09/22/php-crashes-extensions-workaround That is a stab at the reordering problem, but in my case was not enough to completely solve my problem. I also had to comment out extension=mhash.so with a ;. This was arrived at by commenting out line by line one at a time until I hit the one causing the breakage. This particular extension has been problematic for me for some time now. Some upgrades it works and for some it is broken. Remember that each change made requires an apachectl restart. -Mike ___ 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
binary package dependencies
I would like to know how to use self compiled ports made with make install together with the packages which can be downloaded with pkg_add -r I'm in the process of upgrading an old freebsd 6.0 server to 8.0 and have decided to try and use apache22. For various reasons I built the apache22 server using ports (mainly to force usage of a particular BSDB). Then added subversion also using ports. After setting up the new apache to act as an svn source and getting that working I decided to add viewvc. Rather stupidly I used pkg_add -r viewvc which seemed to work. However, my apache setup stopped working. After much faffing about I learned that the pkg_add -r viewvc had also installed another version of apache (a 2.0 version). All my apachectl commands were directed at the 2.0 version and my edits to the httpd.conf were bing entirely ignored. Somehow I had naively assumed that apache20 and apache22 were incompatible and could not simultaneously be installed. Did the binary package load ignore all conflicts? What's the proper way to approach these issues. Looking in the apache20 Makefile I see it conflicts with earlier apache, but how can it conflict with a later one? -- Robin Becker ___ 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

kernel: g_vfs_done error = 5 and initiate_write_inodeblock_ufs2: already started (panic)
Hi, We have a FreeBSD 7.2 Release amd64 running at a customers site in a vmware esx 3.5 environment with a san. This server is sometimes throwing errors and sometimes panicing or locking up in ways I have not seen before. I would say this has something to do with a failing disk, but this is a virtual disk so I'm a little bit puzzled. I have suggested to the vmware administrator that this could be something within their environment, but they cannot find anything.

incremental FTP backup program
Hello, I have been provided with a 1To backup space by my hosting company… unfortunately It is only accessible by FTP which does not allow me to do the regular backup / restore I use to do using RSYNC. What are the options I have in order to do the backup / restore of the files knowing that : 1. I would like to have a time based backup solution (incremental with sub-folder for daily backup so I can restore files from xxx days ago). 2. I need to use ftp as a transport 3. Some of my servers have limited space so doing a local sync then FTP will not be possible. 4. If possible I would like a bullet proof solution ideally well known | tested and available from the port tree. In fact what I would be looking for is something like rsnapshot but with FTP transport / compatibility. Thanks for your answer(s).

One of those is to use dump(8), assuming you are using UFS filesystems, of course. Make regular dumps (of different levels), compress them using bzip2(1), encrypt the compressed dumpfiles using openssl(1) (do _not_ use crypt(1)!) and use ftp(1) to transfer them to the hosting company. Another way is to use mtree(8). You can use this to generate a file containing the state of a filesystem hierarchy. Running it against a previously saved specification can yield a list of files that have changed. Use tar and bzip2 to create an archive of the files that have changed. Encrypt and send same as above. All these programs come with the base system, you would just need to script them.

Joining multiple Multicast Streams
Hi: I am writing an application that joins a multicast stream on a specific UDP port. But when I run more than one instance of the same application, the second instance complains that the port is already in use. For example if I join stream 229.10.10.133:2000 on one instance and 229.10.10..134:2000 on another instance, the second one fails to join - I can however join it if I kill the first instance. I have compiled that application with SOCKET_REUSE option, but I wonder if I need to enable/recompile-with any special multicast kernel option for this to work. I do not have this problem when I run this code on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) but I really want to get this working on FreeBSD.

Re: Re-compiling PHP changes server responsiveness

Running ok as test server, but unusual error from added, complex CMS prompted me to re-install PHP5 and PHP5-extensions as pkg_add -r (using ports files from iso), then with no success, compiling them (using ports files from iso), with slightly different make config. Now server does not respond, either to 'localhost' request on its browser, or specific address request from another machine on local network. I assume re-compiling PHP would not clobber hosts or resolv.conf (they look ok). I get: [warn] (2)No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter, and no new errors in /var/log/httpd-error.log four times Tried adding accf_http=YES to /boot/loader.conf, and re-booting of course. This is just a warning message and doesn't stop apache working or not. Enabling accf_http should give you a bit of a performance boost under heavy load and help you withstand certain types of DoS attack, but it's not required. Tried refreshing ports (inital re-compile attempt failed with make complaining that postgres-client had been marked invalid - when will someone fixit?), and re-compiling apache22 = no change. ps -auxc: no httpd. FF3 under Gnome on the machine fetches external pages, of course (using router DNS). What else should I look at? Try restarting httpd from the command line: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart This will run a configtest and then try and start up apache. Then check that apache is still running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 status If apache has mysteriously disappeared and there are no messages in log files, then it means apache crashed during the startup process soon after daemonising. That's pretty diagnostic for loading a dynamic module that disagrees with it. At a guess, and given that you've reinstalled all your php modules, I think you may be being hit by the php module load order problem. In that case, running php from the command line will probably also segv on you. This is something that has had quite a lot of attention on this list, but there isn't a really good solution yet, other than manually reordering the entries in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini Also, if you're running eAccelerator, make sure you recompile it at the same time you upgrade the main lang/php5 port: eAccelerator will cause Apache to crash if you try and run it against a different version of PHP than it was originally compiled for. Cheers, Matthew Thank you . That gets me off to a good start. I guess the solution for the maintainers is simple: a script which automates every combination of module load to test for error-prone sequences or combinations. These could then be tested for and a warning notice issued at config time, or after compilation, preferably. It would also provide a definitive answer to the question of whether the sequence/combination is a contributing factor in the first place, or whether some other factor is a pre-condition. -- ianf http://www.metapixeldesigns.com ___ 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

There is absolutely no point to running ntpd in a guest domain-- you should only try to run ntpd in a normal OS, or, as a last resort, in the Dom0 domain. actually, that's not at all the recommendation I've repeatedly been getting from numerous sources. Which are? A google of ntpd DomU returns numerous reports of problems with this, and the strong recommendation is to only run ntpd in Dom0 using independent_wallclock set to 0, *unless* your DomU's then fail to keep sane time. For example: http://www.nabble.com/Unable-to-set-system-clock-on-domU-td22042252.html The other domains can and should simply use the HW clock, because latencies and such for the guest domains are highly unpredictable. which is why the recommendation is to sync EVERY Dom0/DomU against an accurate clock via ntpd ... Why, when ntpd in a DomU *can't* actually change the HW clock? See: http://xen.epiuse.com/xen-faq.txt Q: Where does a domain get its time from? A: Briefly, Xen reads the RTC at start of day and by default will track that with the precision of the periodic timer crystal. Xen's estimate of the wall-clock time can only be updated by domain 0. If domain 0 runs ntpdate, ntpd, etc. then the synchronised time will automatically be pushed down to Xen every minute (and written to the RTC every 11 minutes, just as normal x86 Linux does). All other domains always track Xen's wall-clock time: setting the date, or running ntpd, on these domains will not affect their wall-clock time. Note that the wall-clock time exported by Xen is UTC --- all domains must have appropriate timezone handling (i.e. a correct /etc/localtime file). Seriously, each physical machine only has one RTC and crystal oscillator. It's useful to run one instance of ntpd in the Dom0 context where it can actually work and keep this real hardware clock in sync. Running ntpd's in the other DomUs is almost entirely pointless; it might be useful only if Dom0-DomU time is busted, and even in that case, ntpd is unlikely to ever obtain good time synchronization running in a DomU. You are better off running ntpdate (or sntp) periodically via cron in the DomUs.

I haven't used Xen, but for ESX: I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the vmtools available for FreeBSD do not support synchronizing the host time to the guest OS. I know it is supported (and works) for Linux, but by what mechanism I do not know. On OpenBSD the kernel can be built to present a device which will use the synchronize time with guest feature of VMware to provide a clock source which can be specified in ntpd.conf. Perhaps you're right and all it takes is the switch in ESX.

Another way is to use mtree(8). You can use this to generate a file containing the state of a filesystem hierarchy. Running it against a previously saved specification can yield a list of files that have changed. Use tar and bzip2 to create an archive of the files that have changed. Encrypt and send same as above.

RFC: Fam/Python based script for bruteforce blocking
Hi, I'm pretty new to FreeBSD, but when I saw how neatly it supported file-backed tables for IP blocking I knew I'd finally want to build a bruteforce blocking script that I'd long wanted to create on Linux. This script is loosely based on the perl script for the same purpose from http://home.earthlink.net/~valiantsoul/pf.html . My script, in contrast to the above, runs as a daemon and is completely self contained other than the blacklist file. Of course it's up to the user to create the bruteforce table in pf and to do something useful with it, but once that's done just running the bruteforce.py daemon will take care of the rest. I've attached the script and my pf.conf. The only other requirements other than python are py-fam and (of course) a configured fam. I'd love to hear other people's feedback on this approach of using FAM + auth.log to implement this and/or to hear of other superior approaches to achieving this result.

I know you had too many before, but if you know someone who can and will provide secondary/slave DNS for you, with a decent expiry time you can be offline for longish periods without your domain disappearing from view, even if your mail/web//etc servers are temporarily offline. Rather than having to ask others to look it up, try locating some public recursive nameserver that you can use, maybe provided by your ISP, let's call it ns1.example.org .. then (assuming basic connectivity) you can: % dig @ns1.example.org [whatever.]thought.org [a|ns|soa|mx|..] to check visibility for yourself while you're tinkering with your DNS, remembering to allow time for changes to propagate. So it's best to be running a short default TTL (say 3600 seconds) until you're running ok, then once OK increase it to something more reasonable, say 1 day. Don't forget to increase your zone's serial number with each change to your configuration, or slave servers won't notice and fetch updates. If in doubt, it never hurts to bump the serial and restart named. Use the standard format so you never use a smaller integer than before, eg 2009121801 for the first update today. Check the supplied HTML docs. Ensure that your firewall allows both TCP and UDP connections inbound on port 53 on each of your externally accessible nameservers, and of course allows response traffic outbound. cheers, Ian PS because thought.org is SERVFAIL at the mo, you won't get this mail direct till the domain reappears here.

Confusion About FreeBSD now supports host and guest modes in VirtualBox
Maybe someone here can distribute some enlightenment. In the press release for 8.0 it says, FreeBSD now supports host and guest modes in VirtualBox. I understand what the host mode support is with the VirtualBox port. What I don't understand is what support for guest mode is. I don't see anything anywhere about guest additions. As far as I can tell, guest support seems to consist of simply allowing the kernel to run in VirtualBox. Am I missing something?
