Hello, I have a botched upgrade from 6.3-release to 7.0-release on my hands. The 'make buildworld', 'make buildkernel' and 'make installkernel' went fine. 'Make installworld' did not - I think I forgot to drop into single-user mode but did not keep good notes. uname -a: FreeBSD server.shiner.ca 7.0-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Oct 14 10:16:32 CDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Here is a hint of the problem (there is a bad duplex to clean up , which is my next task): server# gmirror remove gm0 ad3 Userland and kernel parts are out of sync.

CARP issue with 2 Masters
Hi I have CARP running on a master and a slave server and for some unknown reason the slave continues to classify itself as a master, even though the advskew is higher than on the master. It appears that queries sent to the CARP ip address go to the master 50% of the time and the slave 50% of the time when both servers are up. This plays havoc with my databases as I synchronise them asynchronously. When I take the carp interface down on the slave using 'ifconfig carp0 down ifconfig carp0 up' it lists it's status as 'backup' for about 10 seconds and then goes back to 'master'. Both servers run identical versions of FreeBSD 7.0 with all the same installed ports on identical hardware. The kernel has the following differences from the standard amd64 kernel: ident DBKERNEL options SCHED_ULE device carp The standard kernel includes options PREEMPTION which is mentioned as a possible problem in the handbook with the slave not relinquishing the ip address when the master comes back, but that's not exactly what I'm getting here. Here are the relevant setup details for the boxes.

I can't figure out if I missed a step in the documentation, made a silly mistake in my setup, or found a bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: CARP issue with 2 Masters
Hi Matthew That did the trick, have accidentally been using an old pre-carp set of firewall rules for the last few days. After your response, I went back and updated to the new rule-set. It's always the simple things. Thank you, your response was greatly appreciated. Frank I have CARP running on a master and a slave server and for some unknown reason the slave continues to classify itself as a master, even though the advskew is higher than on the master. It appears that queries sent to the CARP ip address go to the master 50% of the time and the slave 50% of the time when both servers are up. This plays havoc with my databases as I synchronise them asynchronously. When I take the carp interface down on the slave using 'ifconfig carp0 down ifconfig carp0 up' it lists it's status as 'backup' for about 10 seconds and then goes back to 'master'. Have you by any chance firewalled out the multicast packets that CARP uses to test for interface death? If either one of a CARP pair can't see CARP packets frequently enough it will think the other is down and promote itself to master. If your firewall is blocking, then add a rule like this on both machines: pass quick on $ext_if proto carp \ from $ext_if:network to $carp_mcast keep state $carp_mcast is defined as 224.0.0.18 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW Come and visit Web Prophets Website at http://www.webprophets.net.au ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gmirror - one provider won't activate
Hello, I set up a RAID 1 duplex following the well-laid out OnLamp article. I had successfully synchronised both disks prior to rebooting. Then I rebooted and the ad3 disk wouldn't activate. The system boots off of ad0 while slices within ad1 and ad3 are supposed to serve as the duplex. The duplex (/dev/mirror/gm0) mounts successfully to /usr/home so I have access to my data from ad1. I am running 6.2-release. The dmesg and fstab files are attached. Thank you! Cam - Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo!

FreeBSD 6 SMP APIC lock up
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I decided to spend the day upgrading my Dual Pentium Pro 200 system from FreeBSD 4.9 to FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE. Unfortunately, it looks like my system is no longer supported. With APIC and SMP compiled into my custom kernel (essentially GENERIC with SMP and a lot of stuff turned off), I get a lock up during boot: ... unknown: PNP0303 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0c01 can't assign resources (memory) unknown: PNP0501 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0401 can't assign resources (port) unknown: IBM37a0 can't assign resources (port) Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec .. Locks up here .. If I use GENERIC with APIC, I can get past this point, but the system is VERY slow. It takes an hour or so for the system to completely boot to the login. !! With GENERIC and APIC disabled, the system works fine and boots to the login at a normal speed, about a minute. But no SMP of course. I have played endlessly with the BIOS options, disabling all unnecessary options, etc, with no luck. Also, there are no upgrades for my BIOS. Any ideas/hints/suggestions? I would hate to have to go all the way back to 4.9! Thank you, - -- .. | Cameron Lerch, Victoria B.C.
