Upgrade from 7.x to 8.x
Hi, I was looking for help about this on forum, but a the moment without and luck. I would like to upgrade one of my servers from 7.2 release to 8.1 stable. I've done this on other servers and all went well. But with this one I can't get through. I'm testing all this in virtual machine where I transfer all data from real server. Here is my procedure 1. cd /usr/src 2. make update (using RELENG_8) 3. make cleanworld make cleandir 4. make buildworld 5. make buildkernel Through here everything works, but from now on I tried manny different steps but unfortunately I can't make it work. If I run make installkernel and reboot the server with single user a new kernel loads ok the only problem I have is that some of the programs don't actually work. For example awk /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libm.so.5: version FBSD_1.0 required by /usr/bin/awk same problem is with ps, more etc. If I continue to run mergemaster and make installworld nothing really works, because installworld throws me a bunch of errors because some of the utilities needed does not work at all. So I tried other method. After make installworld I put server in single user mode without restarting (shutdown now). From there I can continue with 7. mergemaster -p 8. make installworld 9. make delete-old 10. make delete-old-lib 11. mergemaster Btw I tried reversing order of step 10 and 11 but it make no difference. Then I reboot the machine and first it looks I'll done my job well but right after it started complaining about the same thing as with awk but now with ps etc. and then crash with kldload process. The only thing that it works is single user mode. Because of all the problems with buildworld stuff i tried to use freebsd-update utility but this one failed even more. So I abandon this idea completely. I would appreciate some help to successfully upgrade this server. Fresh install is at the moment no option. Server is running 7.2 release with amd64 kernel.

Re: Upgrade from 7.x to 8.x
Forget the manual process. Use tested procedures: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txthttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txt I even used those procedures http://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/upgrade/ to upgrade one system from 6.4 to 7.x and finally to 8.1.

I have checked the release notes of versions later than 6.0, almost every version has not so few changes in their network protocols kernel. For example, some functions were replaced by others, arguments for a function is not needed in a later version, things like that... This will make the transport protocol does not work. But if I go through to adapt the protocol to a new version, that would be lots of work. Also, that's not what I supposed to do. On the other hand, I could not find other kind of instrumenting tools for FreeBSD either. E.g., Systemtap, LLtng, Oprofile e.t. which are all for Linux kernel. In terms of not on real machine, I have thought of using some kind of simulator, which could be used to get the performance statistics of the kernel. That is, I run the kernel and transport protocol on this simulator, and get information from this simulator. But again, not found a simulator for FreeBSD... BTW, I do not know how to use VM to do this... Could you explain a bit for me? Thank you so much. Best, W.Wang Don't top post, ruins the flow of reading. VM = Virtual Machine. Grab yourself a copy of Virtual Box or VMWare for your OS of choice and install it, the rest is fairly self-explanatory. Once the VM is installed, grab a few copies of VMWare and install them (If you have enough resources, you can run more then 1 VM) and see if your code works on newer versions of FreeBSD. You might be surprised what does still work w/ the compat libs from previous branches. Also keep in mind that if your 6x machine is forward-facing (i.e. has access to the world) and you happen across a security flaw, you will get almost no support from the community in fixing it as it's a discontinued branch and has reach it's EoL (End-of-Life).

I read some tech docs on li-on cells; if you can store at 50% charge in the fridge and when in use don't let it run down 100%. in my opinion, there's just one rule: Don't trust anybody. There are so many people who claim do be professionals, who say totally contrary things. On the one hand, there are many 'facts' which are falsely applied to LiIon-batteries which don't apply. On the other hand, there are many stories people remember from years long ago or from cheap notebooks without an 'intelligent' battery. Just to add another story from me: I have two batteries in my notebook, the one is always drowned to zero before the other one is being used (no, there are no possibilities to control that in my case). The one being drowned first, though not that often used that hard (appr once a week) was nearly dead after 1 1/2 years (6/23Wh), while the other one still has 23/27Wh.

new user questions. (Before I back myself into a corner!)
If I've not already done so. Hi. Sorry, this goes on a bit New to FreeBSD, but long time served PC nut and user, from the before DOS days onwards... I've not long ago put together a small FreeBSD V8.0 system, primeraly as a GPS derrived NTP server, following instructions from here:- http://blog.doylenet.net/?p=145 The hardware is a small form desktop PC, with a P3/700 CPU, 15G drive, but only (at the moment) 256M of RAM. I have not installed any of the X system, it's all command line stuff, only. It seems to work well, no issues with that, at the moment. In my original plans, I wanted a headless appliance, and that's what I've got, and as above it works fine. However, I'd like to move some services off another PC (that is in dire need of some hardware maintenance) onto this one, and though I've read some of the Handbook, and many links from it, I'm still a bit unsure as to what best to do. I'd like to:- Have a ssh login via LAN available, I believe that's a standard feature, but I expressedly disabled that (well, told it not to implement it) when I orignaly installed the OS. Or have a VNC server running. Have a small web server, again I've read that Apache can do a good job, but I don't want (nor need) all it's facilities, in particular I need to lock it down so no Put's can happen for a start! The web pages are simple flat form, text and static graphics, with a little client side scripting, purely to find the client's local date and time, to select the graphic to serve. Have a FTP server, so I can automate some of the web page graphics updates, from other systems that generate the data, and can FTP files across the LAN, also of course for general web page maintenance needs. It'd be nice to have a VPN endpoint, but not esential, as that is currently living on another W2k box. But in the long term perhaps. The only complication with that, is I need to be able to tunnel a UDP VoIP stream over/throug it. (I currently use Hamachi on Windows for that, it works well.) Also, the other end needs to live on a XP (or later) Laptop. I have done all that on Win2k, Using FileZilla server, and over time various web server app's, plus some 3rd party free VPN solutions on another machine, but that machine is in dire need of a major hardware overhaul, plus I have other plans for it when that is done, so moving the server tools to the F'BSD box seem like a good idea at the moment. I've just spent a couple of hours with the FreeBSD on-line manual (Handbook) trying to get a simple FTP server working, but in all honesty, I'm out of my depth with that, in some ways, not enough detail, in other ways, too much detail. (A very simple worked example of the various .conf files would be nice to see.) I've found:- http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=591 That sounds in the face of things what I want, but am unsure of the implications of doing that. Is it better (ie, easier for a novice to manage) than the native OS based FTP server tool? I would preffer to have FTP login's that are in no way related to any system login users. Lastly, I have everything so far (on the Win2k box) working well with highly non standard (high numbered) ports. Even thoug it's exposed (via port forwarding in the router) to the outside, there is next to no noise, (script kiddies, chinese hackers etc) poking arround my back passage. Of all the stuff I've read so far in the FreeBSD handbook, and a few other places, not one mention is made (that I can see so far) of how to set services for alternative port numbers? Lastly, as I don't want to break the existing NTP server, I may find another PC of similar spec, to mess with, witn some sort of impunity. Unless there is a compelling argument to, I'd prefer to stick with V8.0 too. Advice please (and perhaps a little hand holding.) Cheers. Dave B.

Rescan hard drives
Hello, I am using Adaptec 3405 with FreeBSD 7.3. After hot-swapping some hard drives and deleting/creating RAID1 mirror I stuck with situation when I can not work with newly created device. It is aacd1. Previously it was 1000G drive without RAID. Now it is 300G RAID1 mirror. But `geom disk list` reports: Geom name: aacd1 Providers: 1. Name: aacd1 Mediasize: 999642103808 (931G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 Geom name: aacd1 Providers: 1. Name: aacd1 Mediasize: 299563483136 (279G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 fwsectors: 63 fwheads: 255 If I delete this RAID1 with arcconf, geom disk list still reports about 931G drive at aacd1, though it was swapped out from server. `dmesg | tail` says kernel detected new drive: aacd1: RAID 1 (Mirror) on aac0 aacd1: 285686MB (585084928 sectors) But fdisk, bsdlabel, dd and others do not work with aacd1 because of error message: 'Device not configured'. Also there is old partition table of previous disk seen in `ls /dev/aacd1*`, tough new disk was not partitioned. Is there a way to reread connected drives information in FreeBSD? I tried: # atacontrol list ATA channel 2: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: no device present Slave: no device present And # camcontrol devlist camcontrol: couldn't open /dev/xpt0: No such file or directory They do not work :( Would be appreciated for any hint. -- // cronfy ___ 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

The web pages are simple flat form, text and static graphics, with a little client side scripting, purely to find the client's local date and time, to select the graphic to serve. I believe Beech had some advice on this. It's probably pretty good :-) Have a FTP server, so I can automate some of the web page graphics updates, from other systems that generate the data, and can FTP files across the LAN, also of course for general web page maintenance needs. The base system ftpd is run from inetd, a super server which can serve several small protocols. Have a look at /etc/inetd.conf. The first real line: #ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l Uncomment that (remove the 'hash'), and save it (you'll have to be root again, of course). See if inetd is running: $ pgrep inetd If you get a number(PID), it's running. Otherwise, you'll probably need to enable it. Again, you need: inetd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf. Add the line and either a] reboot, or b] issue the following with root privileges: /etc/rc.d/inetd start Sound familiar? *IF* inetd was *already running*, all you should have to do is issue: $ kill -HUP `pgrep inetd` It'd be nice to have a VPN endpoint, but not esential, as that is currently living on another W2k box. But in the long term perhaps. The only complication with that, is I need to be able to tunnel a UDP VoIP stream over/throug it. (I currently use Hamachi on Windows for that, it works well.) Also, the other end needs to live on a XP (or later) Laptop. I'll leave vpn to someone more knowledgeable in that area. AFAIK you'll have to install a port; /usr/ports/security/openvpn is likely the canonical program, but, as I say, seek other advice on that fo' shizzle ;-) I would preffer to have FTP login's that are in no way related to any system login users. I can't help with that either; check the docs on Beech's suggestions, perhaps. Lastly, I have everything so far (on the Win2k box) working well with highly non standard (high numbered) ports. Even thoug it's exposed (via port forwarding in the router) to the outside, there is next to no noise, (script kiddies, chinese hackers etc) poking arround my back passage. Of all the stuff I've read so far in the FreeBSD handbook, and a few other places, not one mention is made (that I can see so far) of how to set services for alternative port numbers? That's generally in the configuration file for the server. This information might be available in the manpage, if one exists. For example: $man sshd | col -bx ~/sshd.txt $ grep -c port ~/sshd.txt 22 So, there's at least 22 mentions of port in the sshd manpage. As it turns out, there's a line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config that gives it right away: $ grep -i port /etc/ssh/sshd_config #Port 22 # Disable legacy (protocol version 1) support in the server for new #GatewayPorts no So, remove the comment from the Port 22 line, change the number from the default 22 (222, perhaps, for memory's sake?) and either a] reboot, or b] kill -HUP `pgrep sshd` (sounding REAL familiar now). Incidentally, one might suggest that running on non-standard ports is merely security by obscurity. In the case of sshd, at least, a better solution might be to only allow key-based authentication; but, as I said, that's just a suggestion. I have done such things myself a time or two ... I kinda think I just delayed the inevitable in that case, though. Lastly, as I don't want to break the existing NTP server, I may find another PC of similar spec, to mess with, witn some sort of impunity. Well, as I mention, often you can enable and start these additional services from the base system with little or no interruption to extant services at all (which, IMHO, is exactly as a Real Server should work, take that, M$). But I suppose we'd certainly understand. You might even just get a Live-CD distribution and dink around with that. AFAIK, you could run ftpd, inetd, and sshd temporarily on those just to get a feel for how to administer them. My $0.02, Kevin D.

Re: How long laptop battery should live ?

Was that the case? Seems a bit strange that the battery would already be at 15.75V at start of charge, though the 3A charge rate sounds fair. Does it come up to showing 100% charged later? Design capacity: 4400 mAh Last full capacity: 2132 mAh I'm guessing if this should be, the laptop has only about 8 months and I don't use it much on battery, only around one day per week and not until the battery is empty. If I remember correctly my old laptop didn't lost so much of capacity in a few months like that. Yes 8 (or 15) months is way too soon to lose half its capacity, even if you'd been running it on battery for a lot of the time. This old Compaq laptop's battery (Li-ion, 14.4V) is at least 7 years old, and still runs for about 1.5 hours, ie 40-50% capacity, and in a subtropical climate. My question is : how long a battery should live ? is anything could bring down the battery sooner ? It could just be a faulty one, but you'd be very lucky to get a battery replaced under warranty. It says it's an HP battery, manufactured only 15 months ago, so it's unlikely to be a 'shelf life' problem. I hope the next battery wont be too much expensive and will live more.. It may be that the little chip inside the battery that counts charge in and out has lost track of itself. This tends to happen more commonly on Li-ion batteries that are rarely or never fully discharged, and at least some manufacturers including IBM recommend 'conditioning' batteries from time to time to correct this. For example, this year I bought two second-hand IBM Thinkpad T23s whose batteries both responded very well to about three full discharge / full charge cycles; one now shows about 2/3 of original capacity, up from about 1/3, and both batteries were likely already several years old. To get to full discharge you need to run it right down, beyond where the OS would normally shutdown or suspend at somewhere between 5% and 2% of capacity. What I do from that point is start it up in the BIOS Setup, turn off anything that would have it shutdown or suspend on low battery, and wait till it turns off, completely exhausted. From the BIOS Setup screen there's no danger that this could mess up a filesystem. Then plug it in and let it fully charge, preferably without running it. Once fully charged, turn it on and check its 'Last full capacity' again. It may take three or more such full cycles until you see no improvement. While you're at it, you could actually time how long it runs till fully discharged; this also may improve somewhat, but what we're correcting here it the battery's own BELIEF in its capacity and state of charge.

As already mentioned in a previous link you can't determine a battery's expected viability by age alone. The amount and way you've charged/discharged the battery will factor into it's performance along with other things. You should also consult the owners manual as battery characteristics will vary some. IIRC, there where some improvement to HEAD while ago that increased FreeBSD power usage efficiecy a non-negligible amount. Perhaps those improvements where MFC'd already, Google around either way as there are settings to tune which will decrease power consumption. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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
