Re: define more partitions in freebsd
thanks Carl, i tried your your manual step by steps on FreeBSD8.2 but error happened. this is what i've done: gpart create -s MBR ad3 ad3 created gpart add -t freebsd ad3 ad3s1 added gpart create -s BSD -n 20 ad3s1 gpart: geom 'ad3s1': File Exists if i do not run the second command and run the third one, it says invalid argument. i don't know what should i do:( any comments or hints are really appreciated.

Given your earlier posts about increasing the number of partitions from 8 to 20 on a BSD labelled disk, this probably is not something you really want to do without further research to see if the label actually contains enough space for the metadata for 20 partitions. I believe it doesn't and you're liable to trash the file system on your 'a' partition if you just edit the byte. Alternatively newfs'ing your 'a' partition may destroy the metadata for partitions beyond 'h'. You really need to learn how to use gpart correctly, rather than randomly changing bytes on a disk. However, there's nothing like burning your fingers playing with matches to teach you to respect fire, so ... i try to do it with hex-editor in windows but this file is too big and i can't transfer it to the other system. i think it should be done by some commands such as dd but i don't know how to use it. Of course it can be done by dd. Use man dd to find out how to use it, that's what the manual pages are for, and it's better to read for yourself than have someone give you an incantation you don't understand. Hint: look at the bs= and seek= options. Extra hint: *after* you've checked the potential problem I've mentioned in the first paragraph, you might also want to use man echo, man builtin, man sh and man csh to understand the differences between the various versions of echo you have available. -- In the dungeons of Mordor, Sauron bred Orcs with LOLcats to create a new race of servants.

Re: Max top end computer for Freebsd to run on
Al Plant wrote: James wrote: Several modest servers applied well will take you further than one big iron—and for less cost. James I agree. I have witnessed the benefit of what you say. Putting your faith in one big server can be a problem if the box fails, especially hardware failure. Keeping a spare server in a rack that can be switched in to service quickly can save you if one dies. Time (waiting for parts), most failures are hardware if your running FreeBSD. Even most Linux boxes. There are 2 approaches, and applying both together is what I favor. Scale up (vertical) is a horsepower per box kind of thing. Scale out (horizontal) adds more of the same kind of box(es) in parallel. The resulting redundancy will keep you up and online. Sizing matters somewhat. Having excess horsepower that sits unused is extra money spent on one box that could have been applied to scale out redundancy. If you can size one machine to match your current and projected workload, then if there are two, or more, of these and one fails the remaining can shoulder the load while you get the broken one back up. Where the balance point is struck will depend on workload. Let's say (hypothetical) one box as a web/database server can handle 1,000 connections/users per second within desired latency and response time. If a spike in demand suddenly comes that box will slow to a crawl (or even fall over) as it tries to keep up, as it is lacking the extra horsepower overhead that would otherwise be sitting idle if it did. Scaling out (horizontally) by adding more boxes will distribute this spike across multiple machines and remain within the desired processing response/latency time so together they can handle 2,000 when the need is present. Need another 1,000? Add another box, and so on. So the trick is to understand your workload. Don't go overboard on just one huge high-power machine which sits mostly idle and takes you offline if it fails. Spend the money on more moderately sized boxen. Me, I like to have at least 3 of everything (if I can) such that they are sized so that 2 of them together can easily handle the desired load. The third one is for redundancy and the 'what-if' spike in demand. Another advantage here is you can take one offline for updates, then put it back online and test it out for problems. If there is no problem then you can take one of the other two down and update it. This way you can do updates without your service being offline. But the trick is still to understand your specific workload first, then spread the money around accordingly. -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

Stop SMTP attack with pam_abl
Hello. I have different sendmail based servers deployed and all of them are, more or less frequently, subject to dictionary attacks. So I looked for some solution to stop them and stumbled upon pam_abl. However it does not seem to do its job; in the logs I have: pam_abl[2398]: /usr/local/etc/pam_abl.conf: host_db=/var/db/pam_abl/hosts.db pam_abl[2398]: /usr/local/etc/pam_abl.conf: host_purge=4h pam_abl[2398]: /usr/local/etc/pam_abl.conf: host_rule=*:10/1h,30/1d pam_abl[2398]: PAM_RHOST is NULL pam_abl[2398]: In cleanup, err is That PAM_RHOST is NULL looks like the culprit to me... I searched a lot for deeper documentation but came up empty. Any hint? bye Thanks av. P.S. I'm not sticking with pam_abl if a better solution exists... ___ 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

System Calls that do DNS
I have an unusual situation. A program is doing a DNS lookup and often the IP address has no reverse DNS entries. As a result the program hangs for several timeouts. The call is not being made directly in its code, but is occurring in a system call. There are no specific calls to DNS, its something else doing it. I have been trying to track down which system call is doing it, but without success so far. I have tried syslog calls around each of the system calls I thought might be the culprit, but my guessing is not very good. How can I identify the system call that is calling DNS?
