Re: RAID Gone Wild - One Array Split Into Two
2009/3/2 Alex Kirk a...@schnarff.com: This is why I love open-source mailing lists - you never know what sort of awesome you'll find! My question at this point, though, is how in the world I could actually apply this patch, seeing as how the system is in a non-bootable state. Is this something that's already been included in a development branch that I could go download? Or do I need to do something else? What I'd do is: make a distribution with the patch included in the source tree on another machine with your current KERNCONF, etc if you have backups of them. Then try reinstalling the machine and if backups are on your side all should be OK. I don't follow -current and -hackers much to advise if it has been fixed upstream. If you have another machine where you can check-out current tree and see if patch has been merged there - good.

Re: setfib+pf
2009/1/7 Dimitar Vasilev dimitar.vassi...@gmail.com Hello, I'd like to ask on the best options for using setfib and pf in a non-BGP environment. I will run 2 uplinks, with VLANs for internal networks and want to fail over external links if one of them fails. Currently pf supports to the best of my knowledge: a) rtable - this means i can create the routing tables with setfib and then use pass from rtable N( N 1 16) or give out directly network ranges b) route-to - pass in/out on X from ... route-to c) packet tagging - i can tag networks and use standalone or through routing tags. Anyone aware if is it ok to use /etc/gateways without running routed or how can i label routes alternatively? d) pass in from route N(192.168.1.1 from example) to... - saw this on http://www.mail-archive.com/p...@benzedrine.cx/msg07220.html and requires BGP to make tags speak anything but network numbers. e) use the vlan id's I'd much appreciate if someone thinks with me for the best options of using the setfib features along with pf. Thanks! Best regards, Dimitar Vassilev Hi, could someone confirm which of the features above are working with setfib? Seeking for the laziest and most efficient ways.

Re: Distributing kernel to identical machine (with MAC, AUDIT)
Yup on 4 conditions: 1. you have serial console access to all machines. 2. you've tested that kernel works. 3. backed up the previous kernel 4. have not raised securelevel to 1 and have added the proper rc.confvalues and got the appropriate MAC labels handy. If you have messed up with securelevel you can either setup loader.conf to boot the kernel you want or reboot with securelevel disabled and change the kernel then. I'd rather start experimenting with a test machine. MAC sometimes may shut off entire machine from internet, depending on policies defined.

If you want to create socket check http://www.ohse.de/uwe/iodp/uxstreamsocket.html man socket http://bs.cs.tu-berlin.de/user-taipan/kraxel/gnuinfo/libc/File_Socket_Example.html http://www.google.com/search?client=operarls=enq=create+file+socketssourceid=operaie=utf-8oe=utf-8 I think as a general rule, a prog should recreate its sockets, after such operation. You can go with just moving the imap in single user and I think it will be ok. Try this on a test box with imap to be sure.

Re: updating in single-user mode
If this isn't a production machine, try it. I have been doing system updates since 3.4 and not once have I booted into single user mode to compile my kernel or userland. I've even done it as recently as two weeks ago. I don't have a huge userbase, so my system is pretty quiet. I also just finished compiling world and compiling installing my kernel in multi-user. What's the big deal? I did, though, go into single to test (boot) the kernel and install world. Does anyone have a clear understanding of why things can go wrong otherwise? From time to time there are library bumps and it's better for you to be in single user mode to upgrade your system properly. I had ruined a mailserver when I updated the named on it from 8.x to 9.3.x - I was in multiuser, with securelevel turned on and the named running. After that I had to run couple of times the build to get everything fixed. Now I run in multiuser buildworld et all on machines I have no serial access to and before that I check with UPDATING to see what will fail potentially. -- Димитър Василев Dimitar Vassilev GnuPG key ID: 0x4B8DB525 Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint: D88A 3B92 DED5 917E 341E D62F 8C51 5FC4 4B8D B525 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: extending volumes [ was growfs + stripes]
2005/10/24, Joerg Wunsch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Nope. Extending a striped volume by another stripe is impossible in about any system I've seen so far. (Extending a striped volume by concatenating another set of stripes is something different, and I guess GEOM's architecture would allow for that.) Extending file systems is something different. AIX can do it, yes, and can even shrink them (which is much more work), albeit it might take forever, depending on the load. Solaris' growfs isn't that much more capable than FreeBSD's growfs is, except Solaris has got the lockfs(2) syscall so they can grow a filesystem online, while FreeBSD requires the filesystem to be unmounted. Solaris with vxfs is about the same as AIX is (but you gotta pay a lot of bucks for that). I think vinum could be tricked into extending a stripe set by another stripe set (so a concetanation will result), but I'm not sure about it, and would generally be very careful with that. (Not sure about gvinum here, perhaps it can do it as well.) But that doesn't seem to be Dimitar's intention. See above, inserting another stripe row will completely change the topology, so the file system on top of the volume will become invalid. (I've seen a feature like that being announced in some hardware RAID array quite some time ago, but when we tried, it took forever due to the massive amount of copy operations needed, and then it crashed anyway.) ISTR someone once analyzed that striping doesn't make much sense with modern UFSes at all, as the UFS itself distributes the data already well enough, so a concatenation yields the same overall performance. Concetanetions are way easier to handle in any respect, and see above, once you've added something to the concat, you could use growfs to tell the file system to pick up the volume's new size. I've done this a number of times with FreeBSD (albeit with [g]vinum-based volumes), but I've also seen it fail occasionally. :-/ But then, I've also seen Solaris' growfs getting stuck, and trashing a volume, as well as vxvm trashing several hundred Megabytes of data. To quote a signature my colleague is using: ``Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.'' Thanks Joerg! I prefer keeping corporate toys away from my FreeBSD. They tend to be intolerant and shape everything in their way. Google just showed it is possible. With large data and no means of backup one should become careful. It's nice that these whole discussions will help someone else searching for such a solution. As previously mentioned, we have a resource and 99% will use it to make a new stripe and move the data there with loop back rsync. We will have a closed discussion again soon, as the time to act will come very soon. With 0,5TB for FTP we will be serving it for about a year. Then I'm planning to enlarge the storage again and bring also spare disks for bzipped backups. To be honest, the real fuss is about that I'm taking up a project that will require frequent travelling and will be near the ftp-master in Brno. I won't have the same free time as now to commit to the mirror - especially for hardware upgrades, that's why I tend to pour disks until happy. The effort is to concentrate the admin team on common tasks, not on rebooting every 2-3 months for an upgrade. On the other side, I will be close to Rudolf and can be held personally accountable ;-) Apologies for the personal off topic, but I'm excited about all this big coincidence.

Re: updating in single-user mode
I don't reccommend doing installworld or kernel in multiuser, but I have never had any problems doing it on a lightly loaded machine. With that said what could bite you is your new kernel not booting or something broken in userland. You will then need console access (serial or local) to fix it. I would set up your machine with serial console access and use a laptop or another machine when you reboot. Beech -- I have done it when there is NO activity on the machine. Read UPDATING first. Reset your securelevel to -1, stop all services except SSH and go. It's possible to break your machine though. Then you have to rebuild it again and it's 50/50 to succeed. As advised twice, use serial cables/KVM switches if possible. -- Димитър Василев Dimitar Vassilev GnuPG key ID: 0x4B8DB525 Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint: D88A 3B92 DED5 917E 341E D62F 8C51 5FC4 4B8D B525 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Under Solaris and AIX it is perfectly possible - however they're another beer. I've recreated your scenario using 3 mfs backed disks md0, md1 and m2.

Oct 23 22:03:54 serafim kernel: GEOM_STRIPE: Disk md1 removed from test2. Oct 23 22:03:54 serafim kernel: GEOM_STRIPE: Disk md1 attached to test2. I've joined md0 and md1 in one striped volume, created some bulk files, stopepd it, then created again along with md2 in group. Beside that log snippet nothing apears in /dev/stripe/ Btw, I've used 5.4-RELEASE GENERIC kernel. Ours is not very far from GENERIC - we include GENERIC and couple of options (PF,PIM,etc). The machine is 5.4-stable/amd64 It's still a solution - we will know that is risky and will setup a new stripe from the spare disks that we have and will run with them for about a year. Then will upgrade to a decent 3ware controller, a bunch of new disks and other stuff.

Re: cvsup, mirrors and data integrity
Andrew, cvsup is an application that deals with giving people files. It is the job of fsck to check and clear the FS. Check /etc/defaults/rc.conf and add the following variables to your rc.conf fsck_y_enable=YES background_fsck=NO It has been discussed zilion of times and it works. I recommend also wiping your repository and syncing from scratch from the master servers.

Re: cvsup, mirrors and data integrity
I don't like the style of djb, sorry. I know, but his tools work and are great for such things. There have been occasions on which the bgp blinks/ntpd decides to go play and after a while the box goes disfunct and I have to start/stop manually. The box has 1 ide and 4 scsi disks. But I had to remove scsi cables and can't find a replacement at the moment, so it's on ide for now. Squid is also on the server. So I guess, when scsi disks are back online, I'll dedicate 2 to squid, and 2 in a vinum mirroring array with softupdates disabled for more important things, like cvs repos, distfiles, etc. Try setting up a md through which to buffer the read/write operations for cvsupd For CVS there is a hint in the hubs article /dev/da0s1b /anoncvstmp mfs rw,-s=786432,-b=4096,-f=512,-i=560,-c=3,-m=0,nosuid,nodev 0 0 /etc/inetd.conf cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f -l -R -T /anoncvstmp --allow-root=/home/ncvs pserver I suppose if you play a bit, you can come with a similar solution for CVSUP. Btw, have you extended an existing stripe with growfs? I have to extend my stripe on which ftp+rsync repo lies with 0,5TB and would like to preserve data if possible.

growfs+gstripe
Anyone successful with extending existing gstripe using growfs instead of newfs or via using a similar hack? Example of result desired: # gstripe stop data # gstripe label -v -s 65535 data /dev/ad3 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad5 /dev/ad6 # growfs -s [size of total volume i have] /dev/stripe/data # /sbin/reboot If possible under FreeBSD, will I have all existing data on the disk preserved? I've seen in Google that it goes fine with Solaris. I can sync again the info from the master server in Brno, but I'd prefer to spare myself the traffic and the calls from the Bulgarian users Hey Dimitar what have you done to the mirror ;-) Thanks for any tips. -- Димитър Василев Dimitar Vassilev GnuPG key ID: 0x4B8DB525 Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint: D88A 3B92 DED5 917E 341E D62F 8C51 5FC4 4B8D B525 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
attaching disks to existing stripe
Morning/evening all! I'm wondering if it is possible to attach 2 spare disks to an existing geom stripe without wiping any data on it. As I see from the manpage there are no options to attach new spares, without making a data backup first. Google showed very few results. Can someone confirm/deny my impressions?

Re: IE in FreeBSD?
The standarts we are speaking are per company basis - e.g. West European governments are slightly shifting to Linux as a desktop, while others strictly mention what formats of resumes they accept on their recruitment sites. In most cases of big companies I have seen, they say that prefer HTML or plain text or PDF, unless stated otherwise or if you're sent to fill in a MS Word application form. MS Office files are good media for sending viruses, so they try to avoid them. As Microsoft standarts are closed, do not expect IE to run natively on other platforms besides Windows and MacOSX. Opera is a good alternative and can fool sites that you're running IE. 2005/9/20, jonas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: hi!
