 Hello,
 Hello,

 We all know that we can only have 8 ufs partitions in one freebsd
 slice. Since OpenBSD and NetBSD can support at most 32 partitions
 iirc.

 I wonder why FreeBSD still lacks more ufs partitions in one slice?

 Is there any plan to grow up max partitions or every work is
 dedicated to ZFS?
 hmmm, isn't already done in 8.X ?

 bsdlabel gets extended to 26 partitions

 Status: Committed to -CURRENT

 Author: Marcel Moolenaar
 Web: commit message

 bsdlabel is (finally!) extended to support more than 8 partitions. The
 new limit of 26 partitions comes from the number of lower-case
 letters.

 To make use of this change, GEOM_PART needs to be used instead of
 GEOM_BSD (this is default in 8.0 but will not work with older
 kernels).
 I don't have GEOM_PART in my kernel, but if you said it's default it
 should be pulled in.

Re: 8.1-RELEASE hangs on reboot

2010-12-01 Thread John Baldwin
On Tuesday, November 30, 2010 8:23:19 pm Ondřej Majerech wrote:
 Hello,
 
 my 8.1-R system has just started hanging on reboot. Specifically after
 I svn up'd my source and updated from 8.1-R-p1 to -p2.
 
 Some kind of hang occurs on every reboot attempt. Usually it hangs at
 the Rebooting... message, but sometimes the thing just locks up
 before it even syncs disks. shutdown -p now seems to shutdown the
 system successfully each time.
 
 So I booted into single-user mode, executed reboot and during the
 Syncing disks I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Escape to break into the debugger.
 There I single-stepped with the s command until the thing simply
 stopped doing anything. (Even if I pressed NumLock, the LED on the
 keyboard wouldn't turn off.)
 
 The screen content at the moment of hang is (dutifully typed over as
 the thing is dead and I don't have a serial cable):

 db
 E
 
 Including that E at the end.

No good ideas here, though I think we just turned off PSL_T by
accident so it ran for a while before hanging after this.  'E' must be
the start of a message on the console.

 As I said, it's 8.1-RELEASE-p2; it's on AMD64. I'm using custom kernel
 which only differs from GENERIC by addition of the debugging options:
 
 options INVARIANTS
 options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
 options WITNESS
 options DEBUG_LOCKS
 options DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS
 options DIAGNOSTIC
 
 I tried rebooting with ACPI disabled, but the thing paniced on boot with
 
 panic: Duplicate free of item 0xff00025e from zone
 0xff00bfdcc2a0(1024)
 
 cpuid = 0
 KDB: enter: panic
 [thread pid 0 tid 10 ]
 Stopped at kdb_enter+0x3d: movq $0, 0x6b2d20(%rip)

 device_attach() at device_attach+0x19b
 bus_generic_attach() at bus_generic_attach+0x1a
 pci_attach() at pci_attach+0xf1

The free() should be the free to free the softc but that implies it had a 
previous driver and softc.  Maybe add some debug info to devclass_set_driver() 
to print out the previous driver's name (and maybe the value of the pointer)
before free'ing the softc.  You could use gdb on the kernel.debug and the 
pointer value to figure out exactly which driver was the previous one and look 
to see if it's probe routine does something funky with the softc pointer.

/etc/rc.d/netif em interfaces

2010-12-01 Thread Brian McCann
I'm having an interesting problem on a fresh 8.1-RELEASE1 install.
I'll start by saying this didn't happen on 7.1 on the same exact
machine.  I've been fighting with this for 2 days now and have come up
with no answers on my own, so I'm hoping one of you guys can have some
insight here.

When I run /etc/rc.d/netif restart (also happens with a stop /
start) , I can no longer get to the server over the network.  When I
do a packet capture on my workstation, it looks like it's MAC address
changed somehow.  The first two bytes of the address are different.
For example, the real MAC is 00:15:17:1b:cf:7a , but I'll see the
replies from a MAC of  02:67:17:1b:cf:7a.  After each run of
/etc/rc.d/netif restart, the first two bytes will change again.  I
have to reboot the server to get it working again.  The em cards in
question are:

dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.0.5
dev.em.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x108c subvendor=0x8086
subdevice=0x348d class=0x02
dev.em.1.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Legacy Network Connection 1.0.1
dev.em.1.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x1076 subvendor=0x8086
subdevice=0x348d class=0x02

FWIW, this is on an Intel 1530 series server.

Thanks in advance,

I botched the problem description slightly.  In the packet capture on
the workstation, the server's MAC is always correct.  The response
(SYN/ACK packet) from the server is destined to the wrong MAC address.
 The first two bytes are wrong somehow.  The arp table on the server
is correct.  If I run arp -ad, the problem remains.

I've also produced this problem by doing ifconfig em1 down then
ifconfig em1 up.

To make this problem even stranger, I can make a connection from the
server to a workstation without issue.  It appears to only be incoming
connections.

Thanks again,
--Brian

  We've seen something very similar to this; we assumed it was

  Is this a Dell PowerEdge by chance?

This isn't a Dell PoweEdge, but at least this is two platforms it's
happening on now.  Strangely, my VMWare virtual machines that use the
em driver do not have this problem.

TSO is disabled.

I just tried adding up to the $ifconfig_emX lines in rc.conf, and it

What I discovered (and I'm still playing with a bit), is that it has
to do with checksum offloading.  If you run ifconfig emX -rxcsum,
the interface comes back to life.  I just added -rxcsum to the

USB Thumb Drive

Is it partitioned? Try ls /dev/da0* to see if there's a /dev/da0s1
entry (for example). If so, try and mount that.

To see if there's a filesystem on the disk you can run file -s
against the device node. e.g. 

/dev/ada0s3: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID NTFS,
sectors/cluster 8, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0xf8, heads
255, hidden sectors 440608768, dos  4.0 BootSector (0x80)

That tells me /dev/ada0s3 has an NTFS filesystem.

I think Windows defaults to FAT32 on removable drives, so you might
need to use '-t msdosfs' instead. In newer versions of Windows you can
also format disks using exFAT which I don't believe is supported in
the open source world yet.

Problem building netdisco 1.0 from ports on FreeBSD

2010-12-01 Thread Kurt Buff
Working on 7.1 Release. Ports tree up to date, and a portupgrade -a
done yesterday was successful.

I did the following:

# cd  /usr/ports/net-mgmt/netdisco
# make install

It bombs out with the below errors - I think it's an error in libXaw,
but can't quite be sure. Any thoughts?

Well, I can only respond to what you've written.  :-)

 Rather, I was referring to OpenSSL specific optimizations such as the *_ASM 
 compile-

 When pitting the following (built from source via openssl.org):

 built on: date not available
 platform: FreeBSD-i386
 options:  bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(idx,int) des(ptr,risc1,16,long) blowfish(idx)
 compiler: cc
 OPENSSLDIR: /etc/ssl
 
 The baseline FreeBSD version (which reports only cc) is _faster_ than
 the same exact version of OpenSSL taken from OpenSSL.org compiled with
 optimizations.
 
 I can't possibly believe that the FreeBSD baseline version is _not_
 optimized given empirical testing. I also doubt that `-O2' and `-fno-
 strict-aliasing' are the only optimization flags used (and I can prove
 that this is not the case).

Well, I did a nohup make buildworld using 7-STABLE sources and grep'ed for 
obvious strings, and I see:

It seems that the header files can't be found. Have you checked

If not, perhaps you should (re)install libX11 (I thinks that's where
the header files above are found).

/dev/da2s1  /stick  msdosfs rw,noauto   0   0

  I just plug one in, 
  su to root,
  type 'mount /stick' 

and then can read it just fine - even from non-root.
I do this frequently to suck .jpg files off the cards from 
my digital camera.  (I have an adapter to make them USB plug-in-able).

I can write as root, but I haven't messed around figuring out if
I can manage to write as non-root.

As you see, it is msdosfs or in other words, FAT32.
I don't know anything about the exFAT mentioned below.

Re: USB Thumb Drive

2010-12-01 Thread Chris Brennan
Thanks all for the feedback, problem solved, details below.

Bruce - /dev/ad0s1 did the trick ... I was in such a hurry, I forgot to
actually look further, I was in a hurry and got impatient :P. file -s
/dev/DEVICE is a nice little trick, gonna have to tuck this one away for
another rainy day when I am stuck. The drive is ntfs, I formatted it that
way (I lost nearly 8gb of the 32gb capasity because of fat32).

Jerry - I kinda like the idea of exFAT but I don't put much stock in it
(yet). It is by far not a tried-and-true filesystem yet. And since M$ has
there hands in it, I doubt we'll see legit F/OSS drivers for it anytime
soon.

Jerry McAllister - your fstab entry is my next step, thanks for the
reminder though :D

Ryan - As I was saying to Jerry, I don't think we'll see reliable exFAT
drivers for the *nix world anytime soon :( It's sad really. M$ might
actually get something right in exFAT and it becomes a viable, scalable
alternative to NTFS.

Yes it is just exercises, I heard bsdlabel was grow up so I wanted to
test, now I don't really understand why it's fixed to 20 only. I also
wanted to try partitionning a disk using only gpart and not

Ryan Coleman ryan.cole...@cwis.biz articulated:

 As the page says, it's READ ONLY in Linux... kinda pathetic. Thanks,
 Microsoft, for changing things AGAIN so you cannot be shared safely
 with others.

First of all, exFAT is a major improvement over FAT32 for Flash drives.
The fact that it is apparently only READ ONLY in a Linux environment
has nothing to do with Microsoft but rather with the FOSS community at
large. They could either purchase a license, which of course they
won't; or they could reverse engineer a driver for it.

There is also this link on the page:
http://www.tuxera.com/products/exfat-for-embedded-systems/

Perhaps that might be of assistance.

In any case, I find using removable drives far easier on a Microsoft
machine anyway

Success! (Was Re: pkg_add fail on FreeBSD V8.0)

2010-12-01 Thread Dave
Thanks Guys.

(Jason H, Chuck S and Polytropon.)

OK.  I managed to get Hiawatha compiled, installed, configured and 
running!  It even works, though I've not yet finished reading up on all 
it's features etc, so it'll be a while before I let it loose on the 
public, but so far, it appears to work well.

I also managed to duplicate it all on the V8.1 machine I have to play 
with at work, so I can fiddle during a lunch break, also having SSH 
access to the V8.0 box here at home too now, from my desk at work.  ;-)

I'm liking F'BSD more and more, and with multiple SSH terminals open on 
another PC, it's getting easier to understand.   Guess in time I'll look 
to running X on the thing, and do it that way, but for now, headless via 
SSH over the LAN works just fine.

I've got a lot of other stuff to do now, so the BSD box's will have to 
look after themselves for a little while, till I catch up on things.

I'm sure I'll be back when something else puzzles me.

Many thanks again people.

Best Regards.

I installed a mail server recently (dovecot/postfix), that checks for the

I wasn't able to send any mail from Outlook.
The problem beeing that Outlook send its hostname as HELO message...

helo=beta
Dec 1 21:34:44 localhost postfix/smtpd[11381]: disconnect from ma_box[my_ip]


beta beeing my WinXP client's hostname

I tried to change my hostname to beta.example.com, but windows keeps saying
I can't put dots in this field...
Then, I checked the 'Domain' option (instead of 'Workgroup'), typed my
domain name, tryied to connect ...
Checking the error details, the main idea was that there wasn't any ldap
record in my DNS (which is wrong, there's just no LDAP at that address).

It ended up that there's no way I would setup any LDAP server to provide
mail services to my VMs.


So... back to your problem, first thing to check: are you member of your
mail server's domain? Did IT correctly configured your computer/Are you
trying from your own laptop?
Even if you can send mail to other members of your domain or a large part of
mail servers (mostly based on exchange, poorly configured postfix, ...): I
won't be surprise if Exchange isn't checking the HELO message...

Re: Rebuilding perl with threads

2010-12-01 Thread Toomas Aas

Previously, I wrote

I'm in a process of installing a new server. I have already built  
and installed a lot of ports over the past weeks, and now that I'm  
almost done I discovered that one of the last things I need to  
install (misc/amanda-server) needs Perl installed with threads  
support, whereas I have it installed without threads.


For this kind of change, is it safe to reinstall just the Perl port,  
or do I also need to rebuild all ports that depend on Perl? That  
would be a *lot* of rebuilding. The version I currently have  
installed is perl-5.12.2_2, lang/perl5.12 seems to currently be at  
5.12.4.


I can now report that there will be problems if you rebuild just the  
perl port. I used portmaster to perform this task. Then I discovered  
that (at least some of the) libraries built against non-threaded Perl  
refuse to be loaded with threaded Perl. A rather typical error message  
you'll see is 'Undefined symbolPL_sv_undef'.


In order to get amavisd-new running again, I rebuilt the following  
ports using portmaster:


devel/p5-Time-HiRes
sysutils/p5-Unix-Syslog
security/p5-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA
www/p5-HTML-Parser
converters/p5-Convert-UUlib
textproc/p5-YAML-Tiny
devel/p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder
devel/p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS
devel/p5-ExtUtils-Install
devel/p5-version
devel/p5-Module-Build
converters/p5-Encode-Detect
net/p5-IO-Socket-INET6
net/p5-Socket6

I now have amavisd-new running again, but it is possible that I'll  
discover more (non-amavisd-related) ports that need rebuilding.

swap pager:indefinite wait buffer: message out of vm.c

2010-12-01 Thread Mark Terribile

Hi,

Would some kind soul please tell me the meaning of a message coming
from vm.c (FreeBSD 7.2):
swap pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 2, size: 4096

This message occurs after a return from an msleep whose last args are PSWP,
swread, and HZ*20 .

When it occurs, some interactive program is locked up.  It recovers
sometime later.

My best guess is that this is a complaint that swap or paging I/O has been
excessively delayed.  It is occurring while I am running disk-to-disk
transfers that have deep buffering.  Think mbuf(1), but it's my own code,
testing some algorithms.  I speculate that if the disk queuing/head movement 
optimization doesn't let the heads move off the file system
where the file resides (and I only see this with large, single files)
then this problem might result.  But that is a guess, and speculation.

Does anyone know if this can occur under later versions of FreeBSD?

Thank you for your help.

 Some kind of hang occurs on every reboot attempt. Usually it hangs at

 before it even syncs disks. shutdown -p now seems to shutdown the
 system successfully each time.

One of my systems running 8.1-STABLE started reliably(?) hanging at the

the last month or so.  I haven't seen the earlier hang.  9.0-CURRENT on

http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/IntellectualProperty/IPLicensing/Programs/exFATFileSystem.aspx?pf=true
but as an insider you should be able to get us some more solid info?

  There is also this link on the page:
  http://www.tuxera.com/products/exfat-for-embedded-systems/
  
  Perhaps that might be of assistance.

To the ability to freely distribute exFAT access with FreeBSD?  Hardly.

  In any case, I find using removable drives far easier on a Microsoft
  machine anyway

Unless you were being compensated for such inconvenience, it's amazing 
that you'd ever consider using anything other than 'Microsoft machines'.

cheers, Ian

 There is no valuable dmesg/message output, due to the simple fact,

 importing the BACKUP00 pool, which is on devise ada3, I got an message
 on console like:

 Nov 29 21:13:36 0.2 thor kernel: ZFS WARNING: Unable to attach to ada1.

Unfortunately until the problem reproduces there's no way to dig into it
further.  boot-verbose will show what ZFS finds when it scans ada3p1
both for the pool and for the vdev (by GUID).

ZFS can't claim ada1 since that's GPT-partitioned.
