Difficulties partitioning disk FreeBSD 9.0
I am trying to install 9.0 on a small notebook on which I have previously successfully installed 8.2. I don't get very far. When defining partitions I have opted for Guided and chosen a drive with enough space (3.5GB), Entire disk. I am then asked if I'm sure I want to proceed, to which I answer yes. I am then shown the results and invited to Finish. I'm then warned I will lose all my data. I commit and get Bootcode Error Device not configured followed by Error Error installing partcode on partition ada0p1 at which point installation ends. I have searched for these messages with no success...

I had the experience that it might interfere with a regular fsck (not the background one) if present. Only at a background run you'd have the opportunity to remove .snap, whereas during a normal fsck run (typically at startup) you cannot do this (without interrupting fsck). Anyway, you're right: fsck_ffs's source code mentiones the .snap directory. It's line 320 and later. The comment at line 283 suggests that fsck will _create_ that directory if required, just like dump -L would do. Line numbers for /usr/src/sbin/fsck_ffs/main.c OS version 8.2-STABLE here, may differ for others. So there may be an extension of my summary: It is permissible _unless_ you are running the dump program on a live partition using the -L option -or- you are currently running (background) fsck. -- 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

Now when I try to re-install it says perl file required for apache..How do i fix this problem? I am assuming you want to run mod_perl on mod_worker so here are my 0.02: To answer your question you must build, and/or re-build Perl first and then Apache and then mod_perl in that order. You can do this as many times as you like because I've done it personally _many_ times. You must of course make desinstall before you can make install again. I've used mod_worker/mod_perl and it's probably _awesome_ for _some_ situations but it's not as straight forward as you may think, and it's not worth the hassle unless you really, really need it to take advantage of idle CPU with the same amount of RAM. You can definitively increase your Apache processes by ten fold _easily_ (and perhaps a lot more) using marginally more RAM, but you must have the CPU power to back it up or you will choke real quickly. You must have very clear, your average response per request to be able to project the actual concurrency, and you must leave _at least_ 1-2GB of RAM free for the OS and calculate at least 20% free time for CPUs. For one, not all Perl code is thread-safe and you must really understand how mod_perl shares the non-mutable segments and all that. This doesn't necessarily mean you can't use _all_ non thread-safe code, but you have to know which parts are fragile, and exactly how fragile they are. Remember mod_perl already loads your PMs globally so you are already saving a lot of memory there (not like mod_php which is basically a fancy SSI-type lang). The only reason to use mult-threaded LWP is to spawn many more Apache threads with mod_worker assuming that your RAM is actually big enough and you a lot of idling CPU power you want to take advantage of. The growth of the memory usage will becoem a trial and error thing and you must reset your main processes with maxrequestsperchild directive once in a while because most thread implementations including FBSD's will leak over time. Anyway, it's MHO but if you really don't understand exactly why and how you're going to use mod_worker/mod_perl just stick to mod_prefork and you'll still get *a very decent* performance and use of your HW. When I started using mod_perl/mod_worker it was quite experimental but if you sit down and do your homework it will really work wonders to squeeze the last drop on your HW. Also, be grateful you're using FBSD for such things, 'cause it can take the beating.

How to destroy a zombie zpool
I've got a weird problem... I was working on installing 9.0 w/zfs on my
laptop, messed up, rebooted, *formatted the drives* and restarted. Got
much further the next time, however...
There is a zombie copy of the old zpool sitting around interfering with
things. 'zpool import' lists it, but it can't import it because the disks
don't actually exist. 'zpool destroy' can't delete it, because it's not
imported. ('No such pool') Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

It sounds like your /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file still has the pool
listed. I can't find definitive documentation to this end, but I
think zpool export pool name might remove the entry from the zpool
cache.
If that still doesn't work (and you haven't yet put another filesystem
on those disks), you might get buy with using dd to wipe the first and
last several MB of the disk/partitions that had been in the pool. Of
course, if the disks have already been re-used or removed, then zfs
shouldn't be finding them when it scans the device nodes.
Hope this helps,

Neither sysctl net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal=0 nor ifconfig em0 inet6 -auto_linklocal has any effect. The man page for ifconfig explicitly states that removing the link-local IPv6 address may result in unexpected behaviour The good news is that it *is* possible to use the global scope IPv6 address in router advertisements. RFC 4861, as you mentioned, defines a prefix. However, RFC 6275 alters the property of that field if a new flag, the router address flag, is set. In that case, the prefix field can contain the actual IPv6 address of the router. Apparently, this is needed for mobile IP. Unfortunately rtadvd (the default BSD router advertisement daemon) does not support this R-flag. The radvd daemon (available in a port) does support this bit by setting: AdvRouterAddr on Wireshark show that indeed this works. Unfortunately, most of my clients on the network still don't understand this bit, so it seems that after all I just have to remember the link-local IP addresses next to the global scope IP addresses for my network. Oh well, they say it's good to train one's memory :) Freek ___ 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

poppler-glib-0.18.0 to poppler-gtk? Keeps reappearing after every portmaster -a
Dear folks, Running FreeBSD-8.2 amd64 on three machines, on all three the poppler message appears everytime I issue # portmaster -a command to update ports. Message says === The following actions were performed: Re-installation of poppler-glib-0.18.0 It has done this for quite a while. I am wondering, if I should just remove the package and switch to the new directory and reinstall from there. This message keeps popping up and does not go away for good. Any suggestions/advice/comments?

Re: How to destroy a zombie zpool
I've got a weird problem... I was working on installing 9.0 w/zfs on my
laptop, messed up, rebooted, *formatted the drives* and restarted. Got
much further the next time, however...
There is a zombie copy of the old zpool sitting around interfering with
things. 'zpool import' lists it, but it can't import it because the disks
don't actually exist. 'zpool destroy' can't delete it, because it's not
imported. ('No such pool') Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
zfs is famous for fucking itself like this. the only totally safe way is to
dd the drive since nailing the label doesn't clear out stuff at the far end
of the filesystem that can really ruin your day. don't ask me how i know..
it will take a few hours dd'ing from /dev/zero to your devices but it is
well worth it when you do any major surgery on drives that had zfs at one
point and you want to use them over again with zfs

Re: How to destroy a zombie zpool
I agree if you move drives and a particular zfs has not seen them before - and
there is a zfs label at the end things can go pear shaped - however…
if you blast just the end of the drive it should be fine.

Ps. Maybe I;ll title a book fun with zfs and glabel or cheap thrills with zfs,
glabel and gpt uuid's - how to screw up MacOS/Darwin the easy way…
