Later, the same command, executed by the same user, completes correctly if some
time before the root user has succesfully issued it and unmounted the device.
Any clues ? Things I am probably missing ? Does Anyone else notice this (odd)
behaviour (if it is odd) ?
It's probably coming from /usr/src/sbin/mount_msdosfs/mount_msdosfs.c:
if (set_charset(iov,iovlen, cs_local, cs_dos) == -1)
err(EX_OSERR, msdosfs_iconv);
...since set_charset() tries to load the msdosfs_iconv libiconv kernel
modules:
if (modfind(msdosfs_iconv) 0)
if (kldload(msdosfs_iconv) 0 || modfind(msdosfs_iconv) 0) {
warnx(cannot find or load \msdosfs_iconv\ kernel module);
return (-1);
}
kldload() fails with EPERM if you are not root:
[EPERM]You do not have access to read the file or link it
with the kernel. You should be the root user to be
able to use the kld system calls.
Once root has loaded these modules, you can invoke mount_msdosfs as a normal user because
they are already available. You can put kldload msdosfs_iconv into
/etc/rc.local, or maybe tweak /boot/loader.conf to load these at boot if you prefer.
Regards,
Hello :-)
Thank you for your research and prompt response. The module was
available. I tried both: kldload in command line and adding it in
loader.conf.
Note. In case the module has not been been loaded,as a user, here, one
gets 2 messages
mount_msdosfs: cannot find or load msdosfs_iconv kernel module
AND
mount_msdosfs: msdosfs_iconv: Operation not permitted
I wonder what Operation is not permitted as a user and what rights the
user needs.

Re: Port update problem?

You are correct I meant chapter 4. Just out of curiosity is your INDEX

symptom.
OK, I've found what's happening. Nothing beats having the source code.
It turns out it's nothing to do with updating ports, a bent INDEX-8 file
or anything like that. Here's what was happening:
/etc/periodic/weekly/400.status-pkg calls pkg_version. For each
installed port, pkg_version cd's to the port directory and forks a
make -V PKGNAME
to get the latest version of the package, and if that comes back blank
you get the Failed to get PKGNAME from
/usr/ports/foo/bar/Makefile! error message that was my problem.
Immediately before I updated ports I'd been trying to understand the
details of the make {build,install}{world,kernel} process as I'm trying
to do something vaguely similar to nanobsd. As a result of this playing
about I had DESTDIR set in my environment. For some reason having
DESTDIR set makes some, but not all, port makefiles fail to set PKGNAME.
(E.g. on my box, with the ports updated as of 13:35 UTC yesterday,
net/GeoIP doesn't set it, archivers/xz does.)
unsetenv DESTDIR cleared the problem. Why a set DESTDIR has this effect,
and why it's only on some ports, is something I haven't tracked down
yet, and it's going to be a low priority task. If anyone does know why,
I'd be interested in the explanation.

Server hardware
Hello, I'm getting ready to buy a new server system (running FreeBSD of course) for a small business. I have always before bought off-the-shelf parts and built my own, but am thinking of getting a packaged system this time. I want something fairly horsey. Xeon(s), 8-16gb ram, several terabytes storage, etc. The system will run at least one VM (virtualbox) at all times, and I've been thinking about using an SSD for the system drive and database storage, and a RAID for the rest. My question -- are any server vendors well recommended for FreeBSD? I've looked at some seemingly decently priced Dells/HPs, but would appreciate any advice.

Undefined symbol php_pcre_exec
Hi FreeBSD-Questions-readers, This question is not exactly FreeBSD, but since I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE on this server I was hoping this community would be able to give me some help. I'm trying to install the latest version (3.8.2144) of ResourceSpace ( http://www.resourcespace.org/ - open source digital assets management) on a FreeBSD 8.0 server running the latetst version of Apache 2.2.16, PHP5.3.3 and mysql 5.1.45. On the first installation html page (/pages/setup.php) I fill inn all the fields (database user, name, host and path to binaries etc) and click Begin installation. This is as far as I get. In Firefox I get a download window asking me to save or open setup.php, in Safari I get an error message and in IE I get IE cannot display this page error. So I begin to dig... Tried several databases/user/passwords, with or without paths to binaries, but still the same problem. So I check my http error log and I notice that every time I click Begin installation I get a line with this in my logfile: My http error log shows this line every time I click Begin installation: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/php/20090626/filter.so: Undefined symbol php_pcre_exec So I thought maybe my PHP installation is broken or I have missed some modules. Tried reinstalling (with make rmconfig first), I even installed all modules and did the same with Apache - several times. Problem still there. So I start search for an answer and a Google search comes up with a reference to /usr/ports/UPDATING where it says something like php_pcre is from version 5.x now a part of the php core and can't be installed alone as an additional package to PHP. Could this have anything to do with my problems? I'm running out of ideas here and I was hoping someone could help me out or give me some pointers.. Thanks a lot!

Re: Undefined symbol php_pcre_exec
I'd try `pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/php/20090626/filter.so` to determine which port is responsible for that file - however it sounds imho quiet old.

Re: Server hardware
My question -- are any server vendors well recommended for FreeBSD? I bought a used HP Proliant DL385 for about $300 on ebay, then loaded it up with 8GB of RAM (making a total of 12GB) for another $200. Works great, FBSD 8.1 groks all the controllers, even produces appropriate syslog messages when I pull a disk out from the RAID and replace it. I got it when I realized it included a good remote console and the whole thing was about the same price as an add-on remote console for my old server. It's got six 73GB 15K rpm disks, for a total of 360GB usable very fast disk, which sounds like less than you want, but you get get these things with six hot swap SATA slots and put in whatever disks you want. They're kind of pricey when new, but you can usually find last year's model cheap on ebay. I also used to build my own, but at prices like this there's no point. It's noisy and power hungry, so I'd only put it in a data center, not in my office.

was FreeBSD 8.1 success, now PC-BSD success
Good Day; I just completed a new PC-BSD install on the same machine I last posted a success message for FreeBSD 8.1. I do not have time to fiddle much right now and upgrading FreeBSD 8.1 from ports was giving me fits. But, living on the edge has it's price. I took the advise provided by responders to my original post and downloaded the PC-BSD net install CD and the dvd.iso (5 hours) then started the install early this evening. I got both so I would be prepared to install locally if the net install didn't work or, from the net if the DVD did not work. Both turned out to be true however. I burned 2 or 3 dvd's that panic'd shortly after the modules loaded. It did not matter whether I had ACPI enabled or not. The net install CD recognized my Intel EtherExpress Pro card but refused to start an FTP session to download the packages. I had a USB dvd-rom drive and thankfully I was able to use it to load base, packages, ports, and src from the dvd.iso after performing the setup from the CD. Initial impressions: 1. Nice installation program (I'm coming from the debian installer which seems to be the standard against which others are measured) 2. Sensible hard disk partitioner 'advanced' mode 3. Very cool logo 4. Xorg configured graphics on the first run 5. Do not like the default passwordless login I'm still running on the first tank of gas so I guess I will post when I've had more time behind the wheel.
