problems with port upgrade consistency using portsnap
Hello, I am using portsnap to update my port collection on FreeBSD 9.1 the first time I ran it a few weeks ago I did| || |||portsnap fetch| || |and then portsnap exctract then I did a crontab script to update ports every night 0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap -I cron update pkg_version -vIL= Now after a few weeks pkg_version is reporting me a lot of ports which needs updating dbus-glib-0.100.1 needs updating (index has 0.100.2) desktop-file-utils-0.18needs updating (index has 0.21) dokuwiki-20121013 needs updating (index has 20130510) freetype2-2.4.11 needs updating (index has 2.4.12_1) intltool-0.41.1needs updating (index has 0.50.2) p5-HTML-Parser-3.70needs updating (index has 3.71) p5-LWP-Protocol-https-6.03 needs updating (index has 6.04) php5-5.4.14needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-dom-5.4.14needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-exif-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-fileinfo-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-gd-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-iconv-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-json-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-ldap-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-mbstring-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-mcrypt-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-mysql-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-openssl-5.4.14needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-session-5.4.14needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-xml-5.4.14needs updating (index has 5.4.15) php5-zlib-5.4.14 needs updating (index has 5.4.15) py27-sqlite3-2.7.3_3 needs updating (index has 2.7.5_3) python27-2.7.3_6 needs updating (index has 2.7.5) roundcube-0.8.6,1 needs updating (index has 0.9.0,1) sendmail+tls+sasl2+db42-8.14.7 needs updating (index has 8.14.7_1) sendmail+tls+sasl2-8.14.7 needs updating (index has 8.14.7_1) shared-mime-info-1.0_2 needs updating (index has 1.1) wget-1.14 needs updating (index has 1.14_2) if I use portmaster to upgrade my ports collection it is telling me all packages are up to date... so there is something not working for example py27-sqlite3-2.7.3_3 needs updating (index has 2.7.5_3) but if I go into /usr/ports/lang/python27 and I look in Makefile, it reports PORTNAME= python27 PORTVERSION=2.7.3 PORTREVISION= 6 while it should be PORTNAME= python27 PORTVERSION=2.7.5 PORTREVISION= 3 Looks like the ports database is updated but the ports tree it is not... anyone could give me a hint on why this may happen ?

Re: check variable content size in sh script
I say this from a FreeBSD context. It may entirely be possible that a Linux distro uses bash in /bin/sh Yes. For most (all?) linux distros as well as osx, /bin/sh is actually bash. When I say emulation mode I mean running a script with a #!/bin/sh header on a system that doesn't have a real copy of sh. Whatever shell ends up running the script is effectively emulating sh's environment, at least in my mind. Bash is well known for not complaining when you use bash-specific features in a script which uses a #!/bin/sh header. This trips up many a programmer and causes script failures on systems where sh is not actually bash in disguise. This is why I question some things as to whether they're *really* valid pure sh syntax and not something that just happens to work in whatever shell is pretending to be sh (which I thought was tcsh on this machine I just did that test on, but on second look maybe not). __ it has a certain smooth-brained appeal ___ 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

Don't confuse it with python itself. The Makefile for this will be in databases/py-sqlite3 but if I go into /usr/ports/lang/python27 and I look in Makefile, it reports PORTNAME= python27 PORTVERSION=2.7.3 PORTREVISION= 6 While this isn't the Makefile for py-sqlite3, pkg_version is telling you it knows about python 2.7.5 so this is not the Makefile that pkg_version is looking at, but it would appear to be the file that portmaster is looking at. It looks like you have two copies of the ports tree. Check /etc/portsnap.conf you may have an odd setting for PORTSDIR. Another possibility is you have an odd PORTSDIR defined in your environment, what does echo $PORTSDIR show?

9.1 - new install questions
I just installed 9.1 on a clean disk. The dmesg is at the end of this message. For the network configuration, I selected DHCP for IPv4 and SLAAC for IPv6. When I boot the PC, it appears that dhclient tries to load twice. Why does it try to load the second time? From the console log: May 18 17:53:15 a31p kernel: Starting dhclient.

The x11/xev program from ports is a nice indicator to check what's working out of the box, compared to additional ACPI modules in action. For example, I found the Fn + cursor keys on an Lenovo R61i send specific key codes, but no action per default. Instead, the keyboard light does not send any key code, but works.

Yes, you can use several hot spares on the software raid, but: What calculations are you talking about? He posted the uncorrectable read error probabilities manufacturers put into drive datasheets. The probability of a URE is distinct from and very different from the probability of the entire drive failing. I think he is referring to the calculation I did based on uncorrectable error rate and whether you will run into that type of error over the life of the drive. 1 TB == 8,796,093,022,208 bits 10^15 (in bits) / 1 TB ~= 113.687 So if over the life of the drive you READ a TOTAL of 113.687 TB, then you will, statistically speaking, run into one uncorrectable read error and potentially return bad data to the application or OS. This does NOT scale with size of drive, it is the same for all drives with an uncorrectable error rate of 10^-15 bits. So if you read the entirety of a 1 TB drive 114 times or a 4 TB 29 times you get the same result. But this is a statistical probability, and some drives will have more (much more) uncorrectable errors and others will have less (much less), although I don't know if the distribution falls on a typical gaussian (bell) curve. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ___ 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

Why kill -9 has still no effects on some bad processes? Regards, -- Demelier David A process can be unkillable if it's holding a lock, like reading from disk. Eventually, the lock will release and it should die. You can use limits to change how much CPU and memory a process can use. My guess is what happened is it started using a lot of memory, but you ran out and have a lot of swap. It was trying to run while using your hard drive instead of ram. With limits, you should be able to prevent it from using swap which could help, and cap the amount of ram and cpu. ___ 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

Is this a bug? ifconfig is not supposed to know about a netgraph bridge. So this is by design. Also, since the bridge is supposed to be transparent to the network i wouldn't know what kind of information would be relevant to ifconfig, that is the netgraph bridge has no MAC, no IP etc. What info are you after? To see the upper/lower links to a bridge, you want to execute (as root): ngctl ls -l The output is a bit cluttered, as there's no empty newline between the headers as it enumerates the different types. Just as traditional ls you can give it a path, however the path is not delimited by / but by : to separate the peers, etc. Start small by trying to ls your bridge (and then ls -l your bridge). If memory serves (on the go, so don't have a terminal to try this out before giving the tip): ngctl ls -l bridge0: Should perhaps show the connected links. When in doubt… go interactive… ngctl And try different combinations of ls and ls -l on the prompt. -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

How to get kernel source code of free-BSD release 9.1
Hi, I have created a virtual machine of PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit in VMware Player Version 5.0.0 build-812388 based on PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso downloaded from ftp://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1/amd64/PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso , and setup network configuration and installed Firefox 20.0 by AppCafe, and configured the network setting in Preference-Advanced of Firefox, and I could access Internet. Now I need to build my own customized kernel, but there is no src subdirectory in /usr, so here is my question: 1. Is there any way to install kernel source when I create the virtual machine from PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso ? 2. Any BKM to get the kernel source after the Virtual Machine already created as my case now?

Is there any way to install kernel source when I create the virtual machine from PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso ? Not sure about PCBSD as I haven't used it, but with regular FreeBSD I believe you can by selecting the appropriate package distribution group. Been a while since I've done an install, but even so the source will be the static RELEASE bits and not contain any security updates. 2. Any BKM to get the kernel source after the Virtual Machine already created as my case now? Yes - install the devel/subversion port. Go ahead and create the src directory under /usr. Then do: svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src Once having checked out you can then issue a svn update /usr/src command to pull in security updates as they become available over time. There are also two US mirrors available such as: svn checkout svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src svn checkout svn://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src I have used the us-east one. There is also a project underway to add in to base an 'svnup', similar in scope to how csup replaced cvsup to make it easier in the future. I believe freebsd-update is also a possibility but I have no experience with it. At any rate, more details can be found in the Handbook. -Mike ___ 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

Five of them are multi-socket populated. All are AMD CPUs of the 6200 series. Two of those multi-socketed systems are simply workstations and don't do much file I/O, so I have yet to see them fault. The remaining three perform significant I/O in the 1-8TB (simultaneous) file range, including sorting, compression, backup, etc (ZFS compression is enabled on some data sets as is dedup on a few minor data sets). I also do iSCSI and NFS from one of these systems. Simply, if I run 9.1 on those three busy systems ZFS will eventually hang under load (within ten hours to a few days) whereas it does not under 8.3/4. Two of those systems are 4x16 cores, one 2x16, and two 2x8 cores. Multiple, simultaneous pbzip2 runs on individual 2-5TB ASCII files generally causes a hang within 10-20 hours. Hang means the system is alive and on the network but disk I/O has stopped. Run any command except statically linked executables on a memory volume and they will not run (no output or return to command prompt). This includes reboot, which never really reboots.

That said, according to the criteria from https://wiki.freebsd.org/AvgZfsDeadlockDebug that hang isn't a true ZFS problem, yet hung it was. I have since (today) updated the firmware of most of the devices in that system and it is currently running some tasks. Most of the disks in that system are Seagate but the un-updated devices include three WD disks (RAID1 OS and a swap disk) -- unupdated because I haven't been able to figure WD firmware download out) and a SSD where the manufacturer indicates the firmware diff is minor, though I plan to go back and flash it anyway. If my 4x16 system ever finishes I will be updating its device's firmware too but it is an 8.4-P system and doesn't give me any trouble. Another 4x16 system gave me ZFS trouble under 9.1 but when I downgraded to 8.4-P it has been stable as a rock for the past 22 days often under heavy load. ___ 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
