struct fileops question
Hi, I'm trying to understand some pieces of the FreeBSD kernel. Having a look at struct fileops in file.h I was wondering why other file related functions don't have an entry in the vector. I was thinking in mmap, fsync or sendfile. Can anyone tell me the reason?

rugy-pg and rubygem-pg in ports
Is there any particular reason there are two copies of the PostgreSQL library for the Ruby programming language in FreeBSD ports? Do the ruby-pg and rubygem-pg ports differ in some meaningful way? The pkg-descr files for these ports do not give any really substantial clues to what differences, if any, exist between these two ports aside from the names. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgp5ndp9cDtjv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Single user mode: no shell prompt
Hello If I start the server in single user mode I get never a prompt/shell (at the console). After successfully boot in single user mode I see a the last line: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mfid0s1a.

Dick Hoogendijk wrote:

That was the next thing I was about to suggest. His FIOS router should be
running DNS itself by default, with it pointing to Verizon's name servers.
So he could try using 192.168.1.1 in his named.conf forwarders directive.
This would just recurse out to Verizon's name servers and should get a basic
external resolution going, provided he has not altered the default router
setup.
Example from mine: (don't just cut and paste but adjust as required)
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
pid-file/var/run/named/pid;
dump-file /var/dump/named_dump.db;
statistics-file /var/stats/named.stats;
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.1; };
allow-recursion {127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24;};
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
forwarders {
208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; 192.168.1.1;
};
// query-source address * port 53;
};
---/ Below are snipped out zone file directives for my local stuff /---
The first two IP addresses in my forwarders clause are for OpenDNS. You
could delete them so as to only have 192.168.1.1 and your FreeBSD's DNS
server will then forward requests to your FIOS router which will then
request from Verizon. Use of the listen-on and allow-recursion is not
necessary, but if you decide to utilize make sure they reflect values which
apply to your situation. Do rndc reload or reboot to take effect.
I think he has some other issues pending as well, but one thing at a time.
:-)

dd to clone disks - new disk fails to boot.
Problem: I copied from an old hard drive to a new one via FreeBSD's dd. The new drive won't boot. The old drive worked fine. (The new drive is known-to-work.) Background: I have a system with a 160GB disk in it. It runs windows. It works. I have a blank 250GB disk. I want to copy the entire 160GB disk onto the 250GB disk, shuffle the SATA cables and boot to it. Basically, I'm just replacing the small hard drive with a larger one. I would then extend the partition using something like gpartd. I booted to a live FreeBSD disk and used dd like so: dd if=/dev/ad4 of=/dev/ad8 bs=1m About an hour later it finished. No errors. I turned the machine off, unplugged the small disk and connected the big disk into the primary SATA header. The BIOS chokes on the new disk. It refuses to boot from it and instead reports 'disk error'. This is bogus because the new big disk is physically known-to-work. In theory it should be an exact copy of all of the data that was on the old, small disk. I thought a dd from one disk to another would be all that was needed. I've done this before, but only with near identical hard drive models and it worked. What gives? Is there some kind of partition (aka 'slice' in FreeBSD terms) table or CHS/LBA black magic going on? Any ideas?

What's strange is that I _thought_ I had mysql set up correctly. PHP has a bunch of version dependencies on other ports that the guy who maintains the PHP port refuses to fix or even to document. I sent in two fixes for a pcre dependency, one of which was a one-line change to the makefile to use the bundled pcre, the other of which was a different one-line change to note the version depenency on the separate pcre port. He rejected them both, insisting that everyone always keeps all their ports current. That's absurd, but there's not much to be done. The failures were odd PHP bugs in packages like mediawiki that used to work just fine.

This is certainly possible. It would add spam points on my servers. The address in question is the one presented by your mail server during the SMTP dialogue -- the first line it sends in fact. Something like this: EHLO smtp.example.com By default it will use the hostname of your server, but you can override that. It is this address that you have to be really strict about: the address should resolve to the IP that the server connects via (not necessarily the IP of the server if there are NAT gateways involved), and a reverse lookup of that IP should return the name again. This name used in the EHLO banner doesn't have to be anything to do with the addresses on the e-mail, except in as far as either side is using SPF and you have chosen to add that information to the SPF selector(s). SPF seems to be going out of favour now, and sensible mail admins didn't make accept/deny decisions entirely on pass/fail of SPF tests, but still, for best results with a mail system, you should take care to get that right.
