It does not have a group of users yet, so that is why you have not received any replies to your post. As far as I know you can not issue the rctl command from within the running jail. The rctl command is issued on the HOST only. You can apply rules to an entire jail if you want to, for example; to limit the amount of memory a jail can use: # rctl -a jail:jailname:memoryuse:deny=1G (where jailname is the name of your jail). This would make sure the jail can't use more than (approximately) 1 gigabyte of memory. To enable rctl on the host, you need to compile a custom kernel that contains the following 2 parameters; options RACCT options RCTL I think your rctl command would look like this when issued from the host rctl -a jail:jailname:loginclass:default:maxproc:deny=30 ___ 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

Thus I guess it's time to upgrade. What gotchas do I need to look out for? In the past my upgrades have always been simply downloading new source, reviewing kernel config file, and then rebuilding the system. Any ports that didn't work after that I would just rebuild as well. However I've never waited this long to upgrade. Do I need to do anything different? You won't be able to do a straight source build from 6.4 to 9.1; too many low-level changes like Makefile syntax and compiler options have changed. If you are comfortable with temporarily disabling non-essential things that fail to build, it is definitely possible to do a long jump to 9.1, but it'd be safer to either hop from 6.4 - (7-stable or 8-stable) - 9 doing buildkernels and buildworlds, or just do a binary upgrade of kernel and base system to 9.1. The best approach is to backup your user data and do a fresh install from 9.1 cdrom. You will bypass a bunch of headaches which may in the end force you to do a fresh install anyway. And it will save you a lot of compile time.

(Not slighting freebsd-update (don't know enough about it to have an opinion); just pointing out it has limitations.) This has been traditionally true with CVS, which was also a complex piece of software, but still merged periodically into FreeBSD src. I think it's always a small annoyance when things break away from 'tradition', but on the other hand tradition shouldn't be able to put a stop to moving along or act as an impediment for doing our 'real' work. And the real work of the team is to develop FreeBSD, not to develop a version control system. There's a lot of know-how and development happening in the main Subversion development process; a lof of experience that we do not necessarily need to duplicate in our own team to do what we like best: that is, develop FreeBSD. It's understandable that having to install a package to check-out the sources is a diversion from previous practice, and it may be somewhat annoying -- like every change is annoying at first. But the package is not going to go away and it won't stop working, at least as long as we are using it ourselves to develop the system. So other than the difference that now the sources of the VCS used for development are not part of src/, conceptually there isn't a lot of difference from before. The previous state of things was: FreeBSD developers use CVS to check out the sources, and develop the system itself. CVS is available [as part of the base system] to everyone else who wants to grab a copy of the source tree. WHat happens now is quite similar, except for the bracketed text: FreeBSD developers use SVN to check out the sources, and develop the system itself. SVN is available [as part of the official packages] to everyone else who wants to grab a copy of the source tree. Your thinking is way to narrow. Besides source, svn can also grab a copy to the ports tree or just a single port. This a much quicker and a more flexible approach than using portsnap. No body has made a case for NOT including svn in the base system. If it can be a port there is no reason why it can not be included in the base system.

The file is closed when the write operation has been
finished. You can use the sync command to flush
pending writes to the file (as writing is handled
asynchronously by the system). When the program
that writes to the file exits, it will close the
file it's writing to. This depends on the command
you're using infront of , as the command you've
shown will simply generate a null file (file with
no actual content).
The problem is there may be a great time lag between reading the file
and the writing to the file, IE: days or months depending on how long
between host reboots. I would just like to close the file right after
the file gets read.
Is there a way to code that?

Let me reword. If zfs is in the base system why does it not show up
when I look for it this way?
if config -x $( sysctl -n kern.bootfile ) | grep -q
'^[[:space:]]*options[[:space:]]\{1,\}ZFS\'; then
echo yes zfs is in the kernel
fi
Without the ability to check this, I strongly assume that
if you enable ZFS as described in the Handbook, the module
/boot/kernel/zfs.ko (part of the default system) will be
loaded. That's why it won't show up in a sysctl query
aimed at the _kernel_ itself -- because it isn't in the
kernel.
Also, sysctl -n kern.bootfile will return the actual
kernel file, /boot/kernel/kernel, which is a binary. If
the exact config list (from the kernel _configuration_
file) is not plain-text part of that file, grep will not
find the text you're grepping for.
So the next question is there any sh script code I can use to
check if zfs has been enabled by the rc.conf zfs_enable statement.
I need to determine if zfs is enabled on the host.

Yes, you can use vnet-enabled jails with several types of interfaces. Physical ones like em0 etc, virtual ones like vlan0 etc, netgraph ethernet-like interfaces like ngeth etc and if_epair interfaces. What all these have in common is that they all are ethernet-like. You don't mention what kind of use and more or less most interfaces are usable in a vnet jail. Could you share more on what you are trying to achieve? Nikos Thanks for your reply and interest. What I am doing is writing documentation that describes the new 9.1 jail extensions for jail.conf and the rc.conf jail statements. I am going to submit changes to /etc/defaults/rc.conf and as long as I was on the jail subject thought I may as well include vnet because it was missing from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I did google search and could only find 9.0 vnet jails using epair. It was my understanding that epair was not necessary to use vnet and thanks to you, you confirmed it. As part of this self-appointed project I plan to also update man jail and the handbook jail section which is really way out of date. I plan to include vnet in all aspects of this project. I must point out this is not just a writing project. I have been using rc.conf jail statements to configure jails for some time now, and have a test bed to test things I write about so I can verify what I write is true and valid. I am working with the author of the jail environment and already have discovered bugs which are being addressed. I have never played with vimage as it's labeled as experimental because it is not scp aware. IE: can not use more than a single cpu. One of the 9.1 jail extensions deals with being able to use quotas inside of jails. I am excited to begin testing this new function. During my jail research I have come across posts where people have to use a kernel patch to get xorg desktops to work inside of a jail. I have a separate post to questions list trying to mine some info on that subject. I am always open to input. If you have the background to support my efforts in this project its welcomed.

You're not clear on which shell the script is using.
The subject line implies /bin/sh, but that doesn't
have a setenv command.
I don't think there's a direct way to show exported
variables in /bin/sh, but starting an inferior shell
and looking at the environment there should do it.
This is what I am looking at in a sh script
echo export jail_${jailname}_hostname=\${jailname}\
puts it into the env
and this brings it back out
eval jailname=\\$jail_${jailname}_hostname\
Question is how can I display from the console command
line what has been exported?
env issued on the console command line does not show
any thing named jail.

Environment variables are only exported to children of the shell that
created or inherited them. When you run a script you normally have your
command line shell start a child shell which then executes the script.
When the child shell that runs the script finishes the script it ends and
control returns to the parent. The child's environment at this point is
gone, but the parent couldn't have looked at it anyway. Parents don't
really know what their children are doing.
So, to answer your question above, You can't display from the console
what was set in a script.
OK then from within a script what single command would show everything?
I tested with a script with only the env command and did not get any
thing more than issuing env from the console command line.

Subject: sh script ?
I get this message [: 10.0.10.21: bad number on this code

Both variables have valid ip addresses in them.
Why does it think the variable content is a number and not text?
Why?? BECAUSE YOU TOld IT TO.
RTFM applies. Specifically 'man test'.
You need to either read some books on BASIC shell programming or
take a course or two on that subject.
This may sound harsh, but you will save yourself a -lot- of future
aggravation with some structured education. It will also assist
you in getting maximum value from the manpages.
Programming _is_ an art-form. You have to train yourself to think
the way the machine does. When it complains about 'something', it
is *AlMOST*ALWAYS* correct, and something you -think- is correct
is actually wrong. the hard thing to learn in troubleshooting
problems is to set aside what you know is correct, and look for
anything that could possibly cause the complaint. Remember, you're
looking for something impossible. grin
Quit fishing for a flame.
You know nothing about my background and years of experience.
I have forgotten more about IT and programming than you will
ever learn in a life time.

You can set the password to expire virtually immediately: pw usermod -n username -p +1m or add the '-p +1m' bit to the 'pw useradd' line used to create the account. I believe this will mean the user is required to set a new password on login after the password has expired. Might be an idea to test that though.

tar compression

understanding sparse files
I want to understand what is going on inside of sparse files. I have a test case set up. I have a small directory tree set up containing just the systems running libraries. The directory tree contains a copy of the following systems directories, /bin. /lib, /libexec, /sbin, and /usr which has a combined size of 195M. This directory tree is what gets copied into the sparse files I create. Now I create a sparse file with a allocated file size of 300M and copy that 195M directory tree into it. ls -lh shows 300M as the allocation size du -h shows 270M as the occupied size I would expect the occupied size to be 195M, the size of the source loaded into that sparse file. Now I reran the same test again changing only the allocation size to 1G. ls -lh shows 1G as the allocation size du -h shows 463M as the occupied size So my question is, why does the occupied size not match the real size of the data content in the sparse file? Also why as the allocated space increases does the occupied size increase? ___ 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

But my hot water heater just exploded, so I may not look at code for a few more days. Hello Lowell, Thank you very much. I was going crazy trying different combinations of options and script logic. I want to thank you for taking my problem seriously and taking the time to do your own test cases to verify my findings. Now that I know it's a genuine bug in mtree, I can make my plans accordingly. Any fix to the mtree utility will take some time to filter down to a regular RELEASE. Maybe 9.2 or the big jump to 10.0 by the end of 2013. I will leave it up to you the file a PR on this and follow through. Thanks again, people like you are what makes this questions list so valuable and FreeBSD such a great OS. You did outstanding work. Actually, in retrospect I think it was pretty trivial. I think the following patch is the right fix for the problem, although I am not completely certain. Index: /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c === --- /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c(revision 245177) +++ /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c(working copy) @@ -149,6 +149,7 @@ } (void)fts_set(t, p, FTS_SKIP); } + rval = MISMATCHEXIT; (void)fts_close(t); if (sflag) warnx(%s checksum: %lu, fullpath, (unsigned long)crc_total); This fixes the problem that was bothering you, but the interactions of different features are complicated, and many of them are documented in fairly loose language. Is that the diplomatic way of saying the manpage for mtree sucks, and leaves a great deal to be desired? Would you be interested in extending the test suite for this program? There are some tests in /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/test/, but they don't cover your issue. I'm particularly concerned with interactions between mtree(8) options like -u, -U, -q, -d, and specification keywords like optional, nochange, and ignore. I would feel more comfortable if someone else wrote up new test cases (because programmers generally don't -- can't -- test their own blind spots), although I'll certainly do it if no one else does. I haven't submitted a PR yet, but I'll do so as soon as I've translated my test case into a form that can be used in the PR. Lowell here is my situation, I support a port and needed a method to interrogate the content of a small directory tree for correctness before processing it's content. I first developed a coding logic using mtree for this purpose, but that brought to light this mtree bug which is the subject of this post. Since my port only uses utilities that are contained in the base system of a RELEASE I could not very well wait for any patches to mtree to filter down into a RELEASE before updating my port. So instead I developed a coding logic using diff that does the same thing I was doing with mtree but diff issues the correct return codes. I have since updated my port in the ports system. When it comes to testing your patch sure I would like to. But here again I have a problem. For security reasons I can not use source code to install or update any operating system. I have no sources on my system to compile from. I use the fresh install method from a downloaded disc1.iso burned to cdrom. This way I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I have an un-compromised, clean, virgin system to start with and nothing present or left over from previous running systems that can be used to compromise the system. Now if you would use gzip to compress the binary patched version of mtree you have been testing with and email it directly to me offline of this list, then sure I will test it inside a jail and even play around with the other option flags your interested in and provide you feed back off list.

Other features like the ability to render tables might be a reason not to use a browser that cannot do this (maybe lynx can't?). (and do you enable console graphics?) No, I have to admit that I've never even _tried_ that. Somehow deep inside my brain there's the statement that graphics in console mode is libvga which is for Linux, not for FreeBSD, but that might not apply anymore.

Re: Reading the handbook from console

echo return = $?
It seems that returning 0 is correct in a case as you mentioned.
The manual at man mtree states:
EXIT STATUS
The mtree utility exits 0 on success, and 0 if an error occurs.
Question: What _is_ an error here?
If you use the source Luke at /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/mtree.c,
you could find out what combination of options plus circumstances
found at runtime could trigger an exit status != 0.
The main() functions finishes with exit(status); where status
is either set by functions mtree_specspec() or mtree_verifyspec(),
or manually to 0 when -U is provided and MISMATCHEXIT (is 2) is
encountered.
Again from the manual:
-uSame as -U except a status of 2 is returned if the file hierarchy
did not match the specification.
-UModify the owner, group, permissions, and modification time of
existing files to match the specification and create any missing
directories or symbolic links. User, group and permissions must
all be specified for missing directories to be created. Corrected
mismatches are not considered errors.
However, you're not using -U, but -u, so the last sentence of
the description above should be relevant: No error per se,
even though the status code should be 2.
Well I just tested with -U -u together no joy.
Tested with -U no joy.
My read of the above is -u should cause a return code of 2 when the
file hierarchy does not match the specification. I don't want -U
because I am not modifying any content of the directory tree mtree is
looking at.
I just don't get the point your trying to make.
Oh the other hand are you saying the script code is correct to capture
the return code but using wrong options with mtree ?
It works fine for me:
[5023] (lowell-desk) temp touch foo

This is exactly what I would expect, and what you said you weren't
getting. You didn't show what you ran your script on, or what the
results were, so I can't tell you what you're doing wrong -- but compare
my example to yours and I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
Good luck.
Your example is testing for file changes. The mtree spec file I posted
and the mtree -d shows I am checking just at the directory level. The
ignore option on the spec file means ignore any file hierarchy below
this file. That coupled with the -d option that says ignore everything
except directory type files.
So what I want to get is; apply that spec file to the target directory
checking that the spec directories are present in the target and any
sub-directories on those spec directories are ignored on the target, IE;
is not an error condition. All files in spec directory tree and the
target directory tree are ignored. Any directories in the target
directory tree not in the spec file are errors and set the return code
to non-zero.
The spec and target directory trees look like this.
+mtree.spec

I want to thank you for taking my problem seriously and taking the time to do your own test cases to verify my findings. Now that I know it's a genuine bug in mtree, I can make my plans accordingly. Any fix to the mtree utility will take some time to filter down to a regular RELEASE. Maybe 9.2 or the big jump to 10.0 by the end of 2013. I will leave it up to you the file a PR on this and follow through. Thanks again, people like you are what makes this questions list so valuable and FreeBSD such a great OS. You did outstanding work.
