Writing 007 to the BIOS cout routine might do it, but I've realised I haven't got a clue how to do that. Making it audible is part of the local terminal emulator, either the TTY (text mode) driver or via xterm (or the preferred alternative terminal emulator in X). Yers, but I'm not running X. Or a character terminal come to that :-) A more sophisticated interface is provided as soon as your kernel has device speaker compiled in (or speaker.ko has been loaded). Now you can play wonderful music through the speaker. :-) See man 4 speaker for details. Thanks! This is what I was looking for. See the following shell script as an example of what you can do: snip Overkill. I have proper work to do rather than working out how to play appropriate bit silly little tunes for every eventuality. Actually spkr.c has some useful comments in it - apparently it works the same as IBM PC BASIC. Now how do I make it polyphonic... Always make sure that the system actually _has_ got an internal speaker! I assume that modern PC hardware could have it removed along with floppy drive connector, parallel port or power switch. Remains to be seen, but most still seem to have one so the BIOS ROM can make beep diagnostic codes if it can't do anything else. P.S. cdcontrol -f /dev/mycdrom eject is the best I've come up with so far for getting attention. That's a really clever idea, never heared of that. It has the advantage of being permanent because the drive will stay open when the sound of its motor has finished. :-) I use it all the time, especially when directing a tech to the appropriate server in a rack. It's the one I just popped the CD drive on. These days servers have the spring-loaded notebook drives instead of the motorised trays, which is a pity. You could keep winding the motorised ones in and out until someone spotted it. I suppose if you did it energetically enough it might catch fire and set off the smoke alarm (audible). Or leave it wound out with a tin can balanced on it; to make a noise wind it back in and hear it clatter to the floor.

failed to create gmirror with the handbook instructions

In my particular setup I had a 1GB /, 6GB swap, 1GB /tmp and the rest of the 1TB drive was left for /usr I had to deviate from the handbook when it came to running the dump + restore commands, as the dump failed due to an issue with the journalling. To get around this problem, I dropped into single user mode, so I could remount root as read-only. The dump commands then worked. It specified in the handbook to restart the machine, and boot from ada1. It was at this point that I noticed something wasn't quite right. There was a spew of 'not found/no such file or directory' messages. These were all trying to reference libs and binaries that live in /usr. I boot into single user mode, and upon checking the other partitions, I notice that /tmp and /usr are empty, apart from a .snap file, and the restoresymtable file.

jabberd14 crashes if built with Clang 3.3
Hi Guys, Just following up on a previous post (have changed the subject as this is a port specific issue that has cropped up since upgrading from 9.1-RELEASE (amd64) to 9.2-RELEASE (amd64)). This is interesting. I recompiled this port without Clang (using the base gcc) and it has not crashed once since (sig 10 bus error crashes are gone). Funnily enough, in FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, the same port compiled with Clang 3.1 did not crash ever. So the culprit has to be Clang 3.3. I have the following in my /etc/make.conf (for clang building): root@srv:~ # cat /etc/make.conf NO_PROFILE=true CC=clang CXX=clang++ CPP=clang-cpp Whilst building the port with the base compiler is a workaround, it's not a long term solution, since Clang will be the default Compiler in the not so distant future.

I've copied the the instructions from the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile (at least on my outdated system at home they're there). Of course if the _only_ problem of the initial question is to install a custom kernel, with an otherwise updated system using freebsd-update (with world, kernel and sources in sync), just installing a custom kernel from within multi-user mode is fully supported by the system. This implies that only a small subset of the quoted instructions would apply here (steps 1 and 3 - 5), after freebsd-update has been finished successfully. -- 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

Any suggestions? Thank you for the help thus far.
The 'undefined symbol' error means you have a binary which is somehow
not dynamically linking against the shared libraries it was compiled to
use. As install(1) has pretty simple dynamic library usage -- just
libmd and libc:
# ldd /usr/bin/install
/usr/bin/install:
libmd.so.5 = /lib/libmd.so.5 (0x800822000)
libc.so.7 = /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800a33000)
... and libmd.so just contains code for computing various checksums,
nothing to do with groups and GIDs. This suggests that your libc.so is
somehow incompatible with your /usr/bin/install. Which really shouldn't
be the case given that you'ld previously used freebsd-update to upgrade
your userland to 9.2-RELEASE.
Things to double check:
* you haven't been faffing about with /etc/libmap.conf -- that file
or any file it includes should basically be empty except in quite
unusual circumstances. Remember folks: libmap is not your
solution of choice. It's what you turn to when there are no other
viable alternatives.
* Your freebsd-update really has been updating the source tree you
attempted to upgrade from. Check /etc/freebsd-update.conf. By
default it contains:
# Components of the base system which should be kept updated.
Components src world kernel
If you don't have src in there your buildworld procedure will at
best be trying to take you back down to 9.1-RELEASE-p???, and at
worst trying to create some unholy mixture of 9.2 kernel with
earlier bits of the system.
I think you should be able to recover to a system managed via
freebsd-update by something like:
# vi /etc/freebsd-update.conf
{ Make sure you're getting 'src world kernel' components as shown
above }
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
but I haven't tested that so ICBW. In any case, this should get you
back to the state where you have a 9.2-RELEASE world but your modified
9.1-RELEASE kernel. If you still need a custom kernel then you can
build and install it like so:
# cd /usr/src
# make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL buildkernel
# make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL installkernel
and reboot. Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly how you'ld revert from a
custom kernel to the standard generic kernel you'ld normally get via
freebsd-update. What I'd try is moving aside my customized kernel and
re-running freebsd-update:
# cd /boot
# mv kernel kernel-MYKERNEL
# freebsd-update install
If that creates a new /boot/kernel and populates with a new kernel and
many loadable modules then you're golden. If not, move your saved
kernel back into place (mv kernel-MYKERNEL kernel) and ask here again.
The 'no such file or directory' error for /usr/local/etc/libmap.d thing
is a false problem: /usr/local/etc/libmap.d is an optional directory --
all you are seeing is install(1) trying to open it and discovering that
it doesn't exist.
Cheers,
Matthew

Ah, yes, when this particular box was a 9.0-release, I had compiled a custom kernel to enable ipsec. When I check the strings, it's a 9.1 release kernel. I see my /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC is a 9.2 kernel, so I should just be able to do a cd /usr/src make buildworld make installworld reboot and I'll be running up on the 9.2 kernel and then I'll be all set?

No. You should follow the procedure mentioned in the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile. From my (old) b-STABLE system: # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. 4. can be combined by using the kernel target] # 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster'(you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -F). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) Pick what you need to do. When kernel and world sources are in sync, a new kernel can always be installed in multi-user mode. To install world, you should drop to single-user mode to avoid interferences with a full-featured system running in the background. This procedure (or parts of it) will also work when you have been using freebsd-update to modify your kernel, world, and sources. -- 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

Re: Problem completing a 9.1 release to 9.2 release upgrade
I figured I'd walk through those steps from start to finish and just correct my main problem and any other little glitches I might have.

No. You should follow the procedure mentioned in the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile. From my (old) b-STABLE system: # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. 4. can be combined by using the kernel target] # 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster'(you may wish to use -i, along with -U or -F). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) Pick what you need to do. When kernel and world sources are in sync, a new kernel can always be installed in multi-user mode. To install world, you should drop to single-user mode to avoid interferences with a full-featured system running in the background. This procedure (or parts of it) will also work when you have been using freebsd-update to modify your kernel, world, and sources. -- 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

gptid's in fstab while installing FreeBSD using ISO
Hi All, How do I get gptid's as default in fstab while installing using FreeBSD iso file (Virtual,machine installation) ? Is this possible currently? if not how do I achieve this? I use guided partitioning while installing - If I were to tweak in to the source code which files or drivers I should be focusing on? which drivers write the contents of fstab?

Is this possible currently? As far as I know, the installer bsdinstall currently does not have this option included, but it already offers labeling the partitions as desired, so you could change the content of /etc/fstab manually to use labels instead of those device names. You could do this as a post-installation task while leaving the installer for the command shell and using an editor to do this. if not how do I achieve this? I use guided partitioning while installing - If I were to tweak in to the source code which files or drivers I should be focusing on? I haven't looked into the source yet, but I assume you should concentrate on the component doing the partitioning tasks as explained here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-partitioning.html which drivers write the contents of fstab? The corresponding installer's component itself which creates the file according to the partitioning layout at installation time. I assume the required data will actually be written when the installer performs the _real_ installation steps (committing to the installation). PS: any reason why we use device names in the place of gptid's as default in fstab. Because it's not always wanted or intended. Next to GPT partitioning with GPT labels, UFS partitioning is possible (both MBR and dedicated style), which _may_ have cases where it needs to be applied. Maybe this can happen when you have a very strange combination of striping, mirroring, encryption and other things that require metadata here and there... The different methods have different capabilities regarding labels (UFS labels, UFSIDs to be mentioned). You can find out more about them here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-glabel.html And read about the different methods of partitioning itself: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html Even hardcoded device names could also be required, though I can't imagine such a situation at the moment. :-) It highly depends on the toolset you're using (the bsdinstall program, gpart, fdisk disklabel, newfs only).

FreeBSD routing problem
Hi All, I am facing a routing issue for the Interoperability 1.5 topology. Please find the attachment of the exact topology map. As per test setup – Ø Configured REF-Router2 NOT to transmit Router Advertisement on Network1. But REF-Router2 is able to transmit Router Advertisement on Network2 with 2001:db8::3::/64 . Ø Configured a static route on TAR-RouterD ( ubuntu) Indicating REF-Router2’s Link local address as the next hop for the Network2 . Ø But Ref-Router Not able to routes between Network1 and Network2. Due to this ICMPv6 request from TAR-router to the global address of REF-Host2 is not working. There is no reply for this ICMPv6 request. Ø Same when I try to transmit ICMPv6 Echo request from REF-HOST2 to global address of TAR-HOST1( Prefix of TAR-RouterD), no ICMPv6 reply. Ø Within Network1 , nodes are able to communicate. But when I try to communicate Netwrok2 from Network1, it is not working. Could you please suggest tell me if I am missing something to route the traffic on REF-Router ? I suspect , as there is no Route Advertisement on Interface1 of the Ref-Router, it is not able to route the traffic between the interfaces. Please help me to find this solution.

Soekris makes some cool little boxes, but the last time I looked they still had I486 cpu's...today may be different, probably is. My point is that with computers so cheap these days why not just use a box, sans the drives and do a diskless boot from one of your FreeBSD servers...or better yet, setup another FreeBSD server using VM. It doesn't make sense to buy a box with VM technology so freely available. Of course you are right that virtualisation is the cheapest way to go.

zfs over geli over zfs (was: Re: zfs flag denoting unclean shutdown?)

An attribute or maybe something during mount time similar to what ufs does (WARNING: / was not properly dismounted)? Other than looking at the system logs for evidence of an abnormal shutdown, no. (Absence of anything in the logs is pretty good evidence for the system falling over pretty hard... Usually something to do with the power being turned off.) However, due to the design of ZFS unclean shutdowns like this are nowhere near as problematic as on UFS. Basically, you're guaranteed that what is written on disk is always consistent. You might lose a few transactions -- essentially the last few seconds of file system activity -- but that doesn't usually make a great deal of difference after the system reboots again. Oh, yeah -- absolutely no time will be needed to be spent cleaning and repairing filesystems: with ZFS, reboot after crash is as fast as a normal reboot. Thanks Matthew, I realized I should have used a more appropriate subject. I'll explain what my actual goal is:) I am after a really specific use-case and the last minute transactions are important. Using a zpool over geli over a zvol. I'd like to know if during shutdown the kernel flushes all zfs files caches in order so these last minutes transactions won't be lost. The unmounting order is far from obvious (zfs over geli over zfs) and i wonder if such a scheme will succeed. I can't afford losing the last transactions of my home dir every time i shutdown my laptop;) The obvious solution is to create two slices and dedicate a slice to geli. Like this: mypool lives on slice1 myencpool lives on slice2.eli I am after this: mypool lives on slice1 myencpool lives on /dev/zvol/mypool/avolume.eli The second scheme will allow me to have an encypted home and not to pre-allocate space. A quick test showed that it might work... On the other hand conceptually seems like a very bad idea haha. I think I've heard people doing this zfs over geli over zfs before...

Problem with IPSec setup
Hello. Does anyone have a clue why kernel always directs ESP packets via default route (or default gateway in FIB 0), even if there are other FIBs with per-interface routes? I'm stuck with the gateway, which is connected to 2 ISPs and the necessity to configure IPSec tunnels on both external channels. Using setfib(8) I've managed to successfully establish an IKE session via both channels (using a separate instance of racoon per each channel), but the tunnel is just not working. Using IPFW's setfib option does not make any difference.

Try the '-R' again; it may get a bit farther each time.
You can always recover by removing some of the ports and reinstalling
them after the remaining ports are updated. You're going to have to
rebuild a huge number of ports anyway, so this is not very different
from using portmaster on everything.
Good luck.
Have tried that, but it rebuilds pixman, but then X bombs out blurting
out messages that libpixman.so is missing :(
I have tried to remove print/texlive-scheme-full; removed it, but then
run portmaster -R pixman, and portmaster -r pixman and the running of
it stops with message that !#/bin/sh .. argument too long and comes up
with texlive-?-?-_1 or similar. Have not been successful in
fixing this issue. I have 2 machines working and 2 not working
because of this. I am running out of ideas. Is there another way to
fix this issue manually, i.e, going to /usr/ports/x11/pixman and
rebuilding it there or have to go one by one?
Thanks for your advice and suggestions but I am not getting there :(

Re: zfs over geli over zfs
On 03/10/2013 17:20, Nikos Vassiliadis wrote: I am after a really specific use-case and the last minute transactions are important. Using a zpool over geli over a zvol. I'd like to know if during shutdown the kernel flushes all zfs files caches in order so these last minutes transactions won't be lost. The unmounting order is far from obvious (zfs over geli over zfs) and i wonder if such a scheme will succeed. I can't afford losing the last transactions of my home dir every time i shutdown my laptop;) If it's a normal clean shutdown, then yes, all pending transactions will be committed to persistent storage. Normally you'ld do something like this by creating geli devices on disk partitions (usually via gpt nowadays), and then creating your zpool from those geli devices. (Typically you'ld just use one geli device in your zvol, which doesn't offer any resilience but avoids potential cryptographical fubars like having two crypttexts known to come from the same plaintext: something that can make it considerably easier to break the encryption. Using a zfs exported as a raw device layered with geli is a good way to get round that, but I think you're probably better off creating a standard UFS on top of the geli partition, rather than creating a second layer of zpool and zfses. (I don't actually know: this is just me guessing without ever having tried this in practice. I'll willingly cede to anyone with actual experience of this sort of thing.)

(Absence of anything in the logs is pretty good evidence for the system falling over pretty hard... Usually something to do with the power being turned off.) However, due to the design of ZFS unclean shutdowns like this are nowhere near as problematic as on UFS. Basically, you're guaranteed that what is written on disk is always consistent. You might lose a few transactions -- essentially the last few seconds of file system activity -- but that doesn't usually make a great deal of difference after the system reboots again. Oh, yeah -- absolutely no time will be needed to be spent cleaning and repairing filesystems: with ZFS, reboot after crash is as fast as a normal reboot.

Where is pkg repository for 9.2-RELEASE (amd64)?
Summary:
Where is the (U.S.) pkg(ng) repository for amd64 9.2-RELEASE (i.e.,
what's the right URI for PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf)?
Things I tried that didn't work:
* pkg_add -r pkg didn't create /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
* pkg.conf.sample suggests http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest;,
but the host name pkg.freebsd.org does not DNS resolve for me.
* URLs using pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org didn't work, and
http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/ itself says
Currently this site only contains pkg bootstrap files!
Thanks!

Things I tried that didn't work:
* pkg_add -r pkg didn't create /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
* pkg.conf.sample suggests http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest;,
but the host name pkg.freebsd.org does not DNS resolve for me.
* URLs using pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org didn't work, and
http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/ itself says
Currently this site only contains pkg bootstrap files!
Yeah -- and the bootstrap pkg on pkgbeta is severely out of date and has
some problems with the up to date DB schema.
Use PACKAGESITE=http://pkg-test.freebsd.org/pkg-test-${ABI}/latest
That's the kit that will form the official FreeBSD package repository;
it just lacks the crypto bits for signing the packages, which is why
it's calling itself 'pkg-test'
Oh -- there isn't an A record in the DNS for pkg-test.freebsd.org --
look up a SRV record for _http._tcp.pkg-test.freebsd.org instead.
(Yes, this is counter to RFC 2616.

change to a new set of URL schemes: pkg+http://, pkg+https://,

Soekris for a Trac server
I am planning to move a jail-hosted service to a physical device and would like to hear the advices of experts here. My service runs sshd, apache and trac (the ticket service) and I am considering getting one of the products by soekris. I know that some list users have some experience with these products so it would be very nice for me to ear if this kind of product is suitable for my project and if FreeBSD is doing well on these platforms. Also I am bit unsure about the setup I should pick: we are a hand of users for the service and I would like to know if a 64-MB Ram and a 166Mhz setup could do, or if I definitely should consider a faster CPU or more RAM. Given my actual jail based setup, is there an easy way to guess the required RAM — In the jail `top` reports a Size of 111M for the Python process, but I guess the interpreter is taking things easy when a lot of RAM is available, doesn't it? Last, are FreeBSD jails lightweight enough to run in such a constrained environment? It is not unlikely that the device evolves to run several other services (like a nfs) and I would appreciate to be able to confine services appropriately using jails. Thank you for your comments!

Try the '-R' again; it may get a bit farther each time.
You can always recover by removing some of the ports and reinstalling
them after the remaining ports are updated. You're going to have to
rebuild a huge number of ports anyway, so this is not very different
from using portmaster on everything.
Good luck.

Re: FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE stability?
On Mon, Sep 30, 2013, at 14:01, Brett Glass wrote: How stable are folks finding FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE to be? The improvements are welcome, but there have been a few troubling messages about kernel panics and VM issues on the various mailing lists. It's never clear until the release drops whether these are actual problems with the software or hardware defects in individual systems, so I am eager to hear how the new release is working for everyone. I upgraded our two main backup servers which are doing I/O via rsync/rsnapshot and sending ZFS snapshots to the other remote site every 15 minutes. I had several instances where the machines went unresponsive. They didn't panic, and they did respond to CTRL+ALT+DEL on the console, but they lost all networking and wouldn't do anything else. The only change was I enabled zfs prefetch which I previously had disabled for performance reasons. It never caused this issue on 9.1 when I had it enabled, though. The fix definitely was turning off prefetch again which doesn't bother me too much, but I can't use this environment to try to help debug it as it's important production data. ___ 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
