One of the drives may be a few blocks smaller but thats enough. What I would do is slice up the smaller disk as you see fit. Create the mirror with only one disk/slice in it. newfs and mount the new mirror up Copy all the data from the bigger disk to the smaller one (rsync -aP /big/ /small/ would do the job nicely). Sanitize what you have done 8) umount the bigger disk slice up the same as the 1st disk add to the mirror (should add as its bigger) This is all assuming the filesystem(s) you are doing isnt the root fs. If it is you are going to have to make a trip with some kind of live cd/usb stick. If you are lucky you might be able to use any remote management card on the system eg dell drac.

mount_smbfs hostname resolution
I'm trying to mount a share on the ADS of my university. I have, after many hours of tinkering, managed to find out why it doesn't work and even managed to access the share with smbclient. Though I now know (or at least suspect) the cause of the problem, I do not know how to apply the solution. I can reach the ADS server via the -I parameter, which circumvents the local address resolution. However the ads just returns the name of another server to connect to (output excerpts from smbclient -d3): ... got principal=hs-ad-...@ads.hs-karlsruhe.de ... As you can see hs-ad-01 is a local name again. It cannot be resolved and the connection fails. However this can be circumvented by adding a search entry in /etc/resolv.conf: search hs-karlsruhe.de Et voilà: # ping hs-ad-01 PING hs-ad-01.hs-karlsruhe.de (193.196.64.10): 56 data bytes ... And suddenly the smbclient connection works: ... resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name IZ-AD-280x20 resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name IZ-AD-280x20 resolve_wins: WINS server resolution selected and no WINS servers listed. resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name IZ-AD-280x20 Connecting to 193.196.65.128 at port 445 Connecting to 193.196.65.128 at port 139 ... Another side effect is that I don't have to use the -I parameter any more the smbclient command gets conveniently short: smbclient -U user%pass //ADS/DFS smb: \ Unfortunately this mount_smbfs appears not to use hostname resolution, all that I get from it: # mount_smbfs //user@ads/dfs /mnt/tmp mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out Of course I can use the -I parameter: # mount_smbfs -Iads.hs-karlsruhe.de //user@ads/dfs /mnt/tmp mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer My guess is that moung_smbfs receives the principal (hs-ad-01 is only one of many available candidates among which the load is balanced) and cannot resolve it or even doesn't handle redirection at all. Directly connecting to one of the providers also does not work: # mount_smbfs -Ihs-ad-01 //user@ads/dfs /mnt/tmp mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer With this meagre output I don't really have a way of determining the true nature of the issue. All that I can say is that smbclient works and mount_smbfs does not. Unfortunately the net/samba34 does not install the smbmount utility of the samba suit.

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

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.
The missing operation is the loading of kernel modules, and there is no
way to do it without root privileges. Just do it at boot time (from
loader.conf), and you'll be fine.

And later I found some work on the topic. Standard users receive error when mounting the file system -even if they have rights to mount it- because : character set conversion tables need to be loaded into kernel and that's not allowed to plain users, because charset tables are large enough to initiate a denial of service by filling kernel memory with many tables As I lernt while searching, one solution to the problem (if one wants to avoid mounting as root) is to preload some conversion tables when the system starts up. Some software has been developed to reach this goal: kiconvtool, that one can find in the ports tree [1] and that has been developed by Dmitry Marakasov [2] (thanks !!!). By the way, even if this software solved a big part of the problem and gave me a huge hand, to let it completely work I needed to slightly modify it because something was missing.

Hello, I am having some trouble adding entries to /etc/fstab.. what happens to work under CentOS does not under FreeBSD!! no surprise there, I suppose.. heh I have nfs_client_enable=YES in my /etc/rc.conf Yet if I add even one line such as nas2.summitnhome.com:/mnt/home /homenfs rw 0 0 the system refuses to boot normally and I have to add the path to /bin//sh manually each time why on Earth can I not add entries to fstab as I do to CentOS?? thanks!! -- Here's my RSA Public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5A4873A9 Share and enjoy!! ___ 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

Instead of just proceeding, maybe causing filesystem is full or any kind of access errors, the system stops when a mandatory mount from fstab cannot be performed. why on Earth can I not add entries to fstab as I do to CentOS?? First, check the mount command itself. If it works, put it into /etc/fstab. Make sure all requirements are met when the fstab is being parsed and executed - e. g. network has to be up and running to access files per NFS. See man fstab for details about this file. If the pure mount_nfs (or mount -t nfs) command works, you can put it into /etc/fstab with the noauto option first and then see if everything works when you do mount /home manually. Then, finally, make the change of noauto and let the system perform the mount at the proper time. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Add the late option ('man mount | less +3/late') to the rw option in
that line:
nas2.summitnhome.com:/mnt/home /homenfs rw,late 0 0
why on Earth can I not add entries to fstab as I do to CentOS??
Beyond knowing that they're different, dunno. Maybe the async DHCP in
FreeBSD is different.

ACPI Warning: 32/64X FACS address mismatch in FADT
I have an INTEL DP43TF motherboad with an Intel Core 2 Quad. (non-HTT) When I boot up Freebsd 8.1 I see a message like this: ACPI Warning: 32/64X FACS address mismatch in FADT..(blah)..using 32 I cant determine if this is OK and a cosmetic type of message or something more serious to question. Google turned up several hits but nothing explains what this is and/or the importance of it. Thanks, -- J.D.

The initial search command for less (+/whatever) is not always needed; after the error appears with it, just 'man perlfunc | less' will give the errors. The errors appear here when 'man perlfunc | less +/y' is run on csh, bash, or zsh and q is pressed before the EOF has been reached: % man perlfunc | less +/y Error executing formatting or display command. system command exited with status 36096 No manual entry for perlfunc The status is always 36096, or 0x8d00. Haven't yet found a short man page which does this. Interestingly, longer man pages may do it twice: % man ifconfig | less +/following Error executing formatting or display command. system command exited with status 36096 Error executing formatting or display command. system command exited with status 36096 No manual entry for ifconfig Go to the EOF with G first, then press q, and there are no errors. ___ 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
