Then why random files gets damaged as well even they are not accessed/written on power loss? :-) Random files can be affected because the sectors of the hard disk containing the directory entries for those files, not the file data itself, may be damaged (ie: the directory was in the process of being written OR the pointer to that SECTOR was in the process of being written). It doesn't mean a file was in active use, just that a chunk of the disk with data relevant to that file was. Keep in mind, one sector of disk may have data for a dozen files in it (or more). Damage doesn't have to occur because a given file was in use at the time of a crash. If your power grid is prone to failures or blips, I strongly suggest investing in a UPS.

Re: Freebsd9.0 and the fgets directive in gcc
On 3/21/2012 10:50 AM, Martin McCormick wrote:
I've got some code which I wrote about 6 or 8 years ago that
apparently doesn't get along right now with FreeBSD9.0. In the
problem code, there is a loop that uses fgets to read a line
from a file. It runs properly until the 2708TH iteration and
then it dumps core with a segmentation fault.
char string0[256];
more lines of code . . .
while ( fgets(string0,sizeof(string0),fp_config)) {
code to be run for each line
}
It runs fine until the 2,709TH iteration. Instead of
reading the next line, it jumps to the line that closes
fp_config even though it is far from read and exits with the
segmentation fault.
The man page on fgets says that if errors occur while
running fgets, one must use perr to see whether the error
terminated activity or it was the end of the file. In this case,
it is definitely the error.
Some observations:
The crash occurs on the 2,709TH input no matter how long I
declared string0 to be. string0 is over-written each new
iteration so nothing should be accumulating that uses up
resources.
Maybe I am declaring string0 in the wrong data type.
Originally, it had been 1024 characters long but 2709 seems to
be the C equivalent to the apocalypse and I thought it was
supposed to be next December:-)
This same code, by the way, also fails at about the same
number of iterations if one uses fgetc and builds the line one
char at a time.
Have you tried allocating a large block of maybe 15-20k (using alloc, or
calloc) instead of declaring it on the stack? You can print the length
of the line (and iteration count) for each line processed and see what
max line length is.
What you describe sounds more like a problem with the content of the
file overflowing the space allocated and causing a stack fault than
something wrong with fgets (especially if fgetc and concatenating the
string causes the same problem).
Also, what happens if you remove your processing code and replace it
with a print of the line length the iteration count? Compilers have
been know to generate buggy loop code sometimes, so that's also a
possibility.

Having a quote isn't as meaningful as giving users the latest

I can also see a ? further down the webpage. It might be a simple

Gary,
Did you set up your webserver to parse .php/.phps files. In Apache this is
probably (I don't have apache install on my fbsd box anymore) at
/usr/local/etc/apache22/conf/Includes/php.conf. I don't know about other
webservers...
hth/c-
Here is a grep -1 php of the httpd.conf, showing that the php types
are allowed.
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache22/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so
LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache/libphp5.so
###LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
So, yeah, looks like that is permitted..
Does the PHP.INI file have short tags enabled? Does WordPress use them
by default? (Look at the beginning of the wordpress php files, look for
?php, this is the normal php tag, but a short tag (deprecated, but
still usable) looks like this ?.
Only ONE of the AddTypes should exist, I'm not sure how Apache will
handle it if there are multiple of them. Prune it back to being just
this pair (and make sure you do an apache restart after you change it):
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
If you execute php -version from the shell, what do you get?

I suspect cp3 doesn't point to valid data and is causing the function call to fail (it looks like it's pointing to the same thing as buffer, which doesn't look like how the function should be called). Having the contents of the individual vars will help you narrow down exactly what's occuring. Data you want to see is the pointers themselves, and maybe the first 8 or so characters of data that it's pointing to. And if this doesn't help, there's always Google CodeSearch http://www.google.com/codesearch , for examples of how to call it. ___ 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

Based on the man page for touch, it doesn't use the d/m/s flags.

Re: need C help, passing char buffer[] by-value....
Gary Kline wrote:
Guys,
maybe this can't be done reading in a file with fgets(buffer[128], fp),
then calling skiptags(), conditionally, to while () past ',' and ''.
I know I need to calll skipTags with its address, skipTags(buffer);, but then
how to i
handle the variable s in skipTags? Anybody?
// redo, skip TAGS
skipTags((char *)s)
{
if (*s == '')
{
while (*s != '')
{
s++;
}
s++;
}
}
Your function may not work exactly as you think it will. Your basic idea
runs on the assumption that the tag will never be broken during the file
read. It's possible that you'll read some dataTag begin and the next
read will have more data heretag ends, or some variation thereof.
If you know for a fact that the string you read in will always be
complete, then what's below should work fine:
// where *s is the address of a string to be parsed
// maxlen represents the maximum number of chars potentially in the string and
is not zero based (ie: maxlen 256 = char positions 0-255)
// *curpos is the current position of the pointer (this prevents bounds errors)
skipTags(char *s, long maxlen, long *curpos)
{
if (*s == '')
{
while (*s != '' *s *curpos maxlen)
{
s++;
(*curpos)++;
}
if (*curpos maxlen)
{
s++;
(*curpos)++;
}
}
}
When you read in the next line of the file, reset curpos to zero, set
maxlen to number of bytes read. As you process each char after the
function is called, you'll need to increment curpos as well.
Depending on the size of the files you are reading, you may be able to
read the entire file into memory at once and avoid any possible TAG
splitting.
If you explain exactly what you're trying to accomplish, we may be able
to come up with an easier/cleaner solution.
(warning: none of the above code is tested, but in concept it should
work ok)

Re: Second disks causes invalid partition when booting/no disks found in sysinstall
What happens if you put the drive on a secondary controller?

I have been running FreeBSD happily for several years on the same old hardware. 2 weeks ago when I was on vacation one of the disks started to have problems, and 5 days ago the disk just stopped working - far too many read failures to get anything mounted. I got a new disk yesterday (finally home from vacation). The problems started when I tried to install FreeBSD 7.2 - I got no disks found from sysinstall all the time. The BIOS reported happily the new master and the old slave/hard drive. OK, I just disconnected the old slave and was able to install FreeBSD on the master. I was thinking/hoping that with the OS in place I should be able to read the old slave (which was one single UFS partition). Anyway, if I connect the old slave/hard drive I get invalid partition when booting - argh! What should/can I do? If I run the Live CD (livefs), I of course get no disks found ... [cut] I did some more tests and: 1) Using only the old slave/hard drive works - it's detected by sysinstall. (The new drive is disconected.) 2) I replaced the FreeBSD boot manager with the standard boot manager, but still the FreeBSD boot manager kicked in unless I disconnected the old slave. This seems to indicate that the old slave also has a FreeBSD boot manager installed... The next obvious step (to me) is to remove the FreeBSD boot manager from the old slave. I guess I can do it with sysinstall, but how? The data on the disk can not be lost... Is there other things I should try?

I believe since you are declaring the array as having a fixed number of
elements, you must declare the function to take it the same way, like this:
extern int plate_shift(struct CONTINENT *[10][10],int,float);
Without the 10,10 size definition, the plate_shift function would have no
idea how big the array of pointers actually is.

general question - php5 extensions
I've been banging my head for 2 days trying to get php5 compiled with extensions OR a way to find the .so files so it could dynamically link them. I've finally stumbled on the php5-* directories in the ports tree and it's compiling extensions right now, except that I keep having to deinstall an extension then restart the php5-extension make again so it can continue. Why isn't there a single folder under the lang/php5 directory that would put all of the extensions in the same place? Having them broken up into all of the varying places in the tree makes it extremely difficult to find them. Or maybe at least have sym links to them in one place. This is just for discussion, I don't expect an actual answer.. Brad Mettee PC HotShots, Inc.

Re: general question - php5 extensions
Ok, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been. It wasn't that I didn't find php5-extensions, or even that it's difficult to use, but actually tracking down the php5-extensions directory in the first place was somewhat of a problem because there is no mention anywhere of it in the lang/php5 doc files. I finally stumbled on a reference to it in a 2 year old doc I found on google while looking for how to make .so extension extensions be found by php. There's also a couple of extensions not in the php5-extensions list, but I found them as well (samba share, dir php5-* /ad /s starting in the /usr/ports directory helped a lot). You're portmanager line has been very helpful, everything that I was trying to get installed is actually working!

Assuming you have installed php5 via ports, why couldn't you just run: portupgrade -NRryv php5-extensions You will probably want to run 'make config' in that directory before running portupgrade.

Re: ia-64 Floppies
To clarify Kris' response: amd64 = AMD/Intel 64bit capable CPUs ia64 = Intel Itanium So if you're looking for an x86 compatible install CD, then you'll be wanting the amd64 version.

rblsmtpd/qmail-smtpd hung processes
I've run into a bit of a problem and if I don't solve it soon, I'm going to be without e-mail (and so will a lot of other people). This is a bit long, I'm trying to include anything that may help. The problem is that qmail-smtpd and/or rblsmtpd get stuck and don't close. After a while the server just quits accepting smtp connections, or will connect/disconnect very quickly (connection closed by foreign host). Using kill on these processes just opens another instance of them (they're managed by /var/service). Since I'm not seeing any log activity that shows what's going on, I'm having a hard time figuring it out. I know the processes are supposed to be timing out and closing, but don't seem to be doing that Has anyone seen this problem? I've tried searching for info on it, but can't find anything that looks similar. I currently have rblsmtpd disabled since it sits between the outside world and qmail-smtpd. The errors don't occur quickly, it seems to take multiple hours to occur so this is hard to debug because I can't create the problem on demand. Any ideas are welcome.

Basically I've been on a crash course of learning as I go. I hate responding to my own message, but I think I've finally found the solution. I'm using Matt Simerson's Mail Toaster package. The file toaster.conf file needs to be 644 so that when rotating logs, the programs can re-read the config. Apparently all of the hanging files were dying because they couldn't read the config and crashed. Once crashed the supervisor decided it needed to start a new copy, which would crash as soon as something connected to it, and so on. This also seems to have fixed a problem where some e-mails would get stuck in the queue and never leave. They've all been delivered/deleted like they should now. I got lucky in finding this. I happened to spot the rotated log file staying empty within a few minutes of seeing the hung processes starting to stack up. It gave me a good starting point to googling for a solution. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
clone a drive, no raid involved
I'm setting up a pair of machines with almost identical OS config, and completely identical hardware. One is a primary DNS server, the other is secondary. NS1 will also serve web, NS2 will be a mail server. Both are low volume/loads. It looks like I can use DD to copy an entire drive, but it's a 500G drive and that's going to take a really long time (especially since it's brand new with no data besides base OS). My question: Is there a better way to duplicate a drive including boot info? Brad Mettee PC HotShots, Inc.

new hardware - compatible?
Hi all, I'm new to FreeBSD and don't have a lot of time to go digging through archives/info to find answers, so excuse this if it's a noob question. It's an emergency server build, and needs to be solid and fast. Will FreeBSD have any problems running on the following hardware? Which would be better FreeBSD 6.3 or 7?
