mfiutil stating battery not present after installing battery

2012-12-16 Thread Gary Newcombe

I have a ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controller in a server and have just
put an M5000 Series Battery directly onto the card.

I was just expecting the battery to charge and be able to see it, but
no joy after a few days and a restart. As far as I am aware, the
battery should just be detected. What am I missing here?

The server is 8.3-RELEASE and I get:

Maybe you want them to line up too. Would using tabs be appropriate?

$(i+3) \t $(i+4) \t $(i+5) \t $(i+6) }' input



 Thanks for the reply, Jeremy, but that approach would require an
 entirely manual approach, which isn't suitable for what I'm working
 with.  Writing a script that's the same size as the data I'm working
 with isn't an option.  ;-)

Try copying the jail first as follows to retain permissions:

stop the jail
mkdir /usr/jail/newjail
cd /usr/jail/origjail
tar -cpf - . | tar -C /usr/jails/newjail -xpf -
(don't worry about sockets not copying)

If you want to copy the jail, change hostname, delete ssh public keys
and change any other info pertinent to the jail. I just grep the
hostname and ip in /etc and /usr/local/etc. Test the jail. It should
work fine.

If you want to remove the original jail,

chflags -R noschg origjail
rm -rf /usr/jail/origjail

Ezjail really is very good too. You can convert your existing jails
into the ezjail framework easily.

 AFAIK, ZFS is not yet ready for Linux.

That's true and as it stands, licensing issues mean it won't be a
kernel filesystem in linux. However, ZFS works fine using the fuse
module. I use ZFS as a common filesystem for backup. The only issue is
the differing versions of ZFS and which is used to create the pool.

 
  use ext2. FreeBSD handles ext2 fine, while linux doesn't handle UFS2 
  easily.

 Now you are refering to FBSD, I was talking about using UFS2 in Linux.

Sorry, I should learn to read. Afaik, ufs2 is read only under linux,
write support is available but the module isn't built by default and
it's listed as 'dangerous'.

freebsd-update linker.hints

2008-07-01 Thread Gary Newcombe

Hi all,

I'm having a problem updating my freebsd 7 amd64 box. After a recent
freebsd-update, the kernel and linker.hints were updated. However with
subsequent freebsd-updates, it reports that linker.hints still needs to
be updated. I can (re)install but always the same. The linker.hints
timestamp is being updated and the md5 isn't changed after reboot, so
why this? I have tried removing /var/db/freebsd-update and rebuilding
with no success.

Btw, my freebsd 7 i386 box updated in one go with no problems.

Anyone else seen this?

 you run Xdialog from root (devd is root), you run X from user.

Even if running X under root, it's the same behaviour. Unless devd is
restarted, there is no sound or xdialogs. If I restart devd from
another console, then the sound device becomes available and sound can
be heard, but no Xdialogs. If devd is restarted from within X, then
both sound and Xdialogs are ok. This is with any window manager, and
nothing much else is running here to screw things up.

The script is definitely being run on the keypress each time. There's
obviously something I'm missing about devd here.

 
 ln -s /home/user/.Xuathority to /root/.Xauthority
 
 and of course add
 
 DISPLAY=:0 before Xdialog

Spawning Xdialogs from devd...

2008-04-29 Thread Gary Newcombe

G'day.

This is an X61 laptop, and I'm trying to use the Fn keys to call scripts to do 
various jobs, while informing users or getting input using Xdialog popups.

Here's an example case. Rebooting the pc if pressing Fn+F4.

[/etc/devd.conf]
...
notify 10 {
match system  ACPI;
match subsystem   IBM;
action /root/bin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify ibm;
};

[/root/bin/acpi_oem_exec.sh]
...
#!/bin/sh
NOTIFY=`echo $1`
case ${NOTIFY} in
0x04)
/home/rep/bin/script.sh 
MESSAGE=do script
;;
*)
MESSAGE=nothing found
;;
esac
...


[/etc/sysctl.conf]
...
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events=1


[/home/rep/bin/reboot.sh]
...
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -f /tmp/reboot ] ; then
  touch /tmp/reboot
  title=Reboot computer
  msg=Laptop is rebooting immediately...
  Xdialog --title $title --beep --ok-label OK --infobox $msg 5 40 2000   
/dev/null 21
  wavplay /home/rep/sounds/shutdown.wav  /dev/null 21
  shutdown -r now
fi
exit 0

From a fresh boot and startx, pressing Fn+F4 from the window manager (Window 
Maker) calls the script and executes, but no Xdialog or sound. If I startx and 
run devd in the foreground with:

sh /etc/rc.d/devd stop  devd -dD\

all is fine, Xdialogs displayed and sound too. Likewise, if I restart devd from 
an xterm (sh /etc/rc.d/devd restart), all is fine:

However, if I restart devd from an ssh term or another console, only sound, no 
Xdialogs.

I'm curious to know what is actually going on here. I wouldn't have thought the 
context from which devd is restarted would make any difference, but clearly it 
does. Any clues?

Also, does anyone have any ideas how I can call Xdialog to get the windows 
displayed?

Many thanks,
Gary

Re: Install problem to external usb hard drive

 Greetings,
 
 If this issue is resolved on another thread, pls direct me to it.

This is a known issue, refer to:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-March/041112.html

 
 I am trying to install fbsd 7.0 on my laptop connected to a usb external
 hard drive. My objective is to leave my internal hd Vista install alone,
 booting the external install only. My laptop allows me to hit ESC on
 bootup and choose the external drive.
 
 My hardware: pc: laptop hp pavilion dv2315nr, cpu: amd turion64 x2,
 internal hd with Vista, dvd/cd, usb external hard drive(not flash) with
 primary partition type 165.
 
 My attempts so far:
 
 1. download 7.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso and burned to cd.
 2. booted cd fine, install works great.
 3. During install, on external usb drve, deleted existing partition and
 created a new one type 165.
 4. Sliced it up using defaults.
 5. Installed the loader, standard to the external drive.
 6. Choose minimum install.
 7. Completed install.
 8. Rebooted, used laptop ESC to boot external drive.
 9. Attempt to book external drive results in a fast scrolling screen of
 zeros.

If you want to use your existing installation, one route would be to
get hold of the BTXTEST livefs that Dimitry Andric created (see thread
above) as a useful tool until the bootloader code is fixed (I'm not
sure if it's fixed in stable yet, I don't think so).

Mount the cd and replace /boot/boot, /boot/boot2, and /boot/loader on
your external hard drive with the ones from the cd.

Then you could replace the mbr using fdisk and the bootblocks using
bsdlabel.

Boot from the livefs, go into fixit mode, then do something like:

fdisk -B /dev/da0
bsdlabel -B /dev/da0s1

I think that should do the trick.

 
 Second attempt:
 Lines 1-8 the same, except on 5, installed the boot manager.
 9. Attempt to boot external drive results in identical fast scrolling
 screen of zeros
 
 Questions:
 1. How do you install fbsd to an external usb hard drive leaving internal
 drive untouched? Is this possible?
 2. Or if it is impossible, do I need to install the loader on the
 internal normally booting hard drive?

I suppose you could just install from the BTXTEST disk too. That would
be easy.


 
 Any tips or url's appreciated in advance.
 Steve.

 The other ports I've tried have built fine, and I stripped my kernel

 If I may ask for a clarification...the link you offered regarded a usb

 Would the problem with a flash drive be the same as my problem with a

Yes, the same driver (umass) is involved in attaching either. If you
already have an installation, try my instructions. It sounds like it
might just be easier to install from the BTXTEST disk though.

 Thanks.

I am trying to install fbsd 7.0 on my laptop connected to a usb
   external
hard drive. My objective is to leave my internal hd Vista install
   alone,
booting the external install only. My laptop allows me to hit ESC
   on
bootup and choose the external drive.
   
My hardware: pc: laptop hp pavilion dv2315nr, cpu: amd turion64 x2,
internal hd with Vista, dvd/cd, usb external hard drive(not flash)
   with
primary partition type 165.
   
My attempts so far:
   
1. download 7.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso and burned to cd.
2. booted cd fine, install works great.
3. During install, on external usb drve, deleted existing partition
   and
created a new one type 165.
4. Sliced it up using defaults.
5. Installed the loader, standard to the external drive.
6. Choose minimum install.
7. Completed install.
8. Rebooted, used laptop ESC to boot external drive.
9. Attempt to book external drive results in a fast scrolling
   screen of
zeros.
 
   If you want to use your existing installation, one route would be to
   get hold of the BTXTEST livefs that Dimitry Andric created (see
   thread
   above) as a useful tool until the bootloader code is fixed (I'm not
   sure if it's fixed in stable yet, I don't think so).
 
   Mount the cd and replace /boot/boot, /boot/boot2, and /boot/loader on
   your external hard drive with the ones from the cd.
 
   Then you could replace the mbr using fdisk and the bootblocks using
   bsdlabel.
 
   Boot from the livefs, go into fixit mode, then do something like:
 
   fdisk -B /dev/da0
   bsdlabel -B /dev/da0s1
 
   I think that should do the trick.
 
   
Second attempt:
Lines 1-8 the same, except on 5, installed the boot manager.
9. Attempt to boot external drive results in identical fast
   scrolling
screen of zeros
   
Questions:
1. How do you install fbsd to an external usb hard drive leaving
   internal
drive untouched? Is this possible?
2. Or if it is impossible, do I need to install the loader on the
internal normally booting hard drive?
 
   I suppose you could just install from the BTXTEST disk too. That
   would
   be easy.
 
 
   
Any tips or url's appreciated in advance.
Steve.

Re: [SSHd] Limiting access from authorized IP's

2008-04-18 Thread Gary Newcombe

Hi Gilles,

ssh is part of the base system, not an installed port (by default anyway) so 
you won't see it with pkg_info which will only list installed packages. The 
config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

To limit connections, you should be using the firewall. I do use hosts.allow 
too, but the firewall is your primary defence.

hth, Gary

 Hello
 
 I have a couple of questions about running SSHd:
 
 1. I'd like to limit connections from the Net only from specific IP's.
 It seems like there are several ways to do it (/etc/hosts.allow,
 AllowHosts/AllowUsers, TCP-wrapper, port-knocking, etc.). Which would
 you recommend?
 
 2. Although it's up and running, I can't find SSHd in the list of
 installed apps:
 
 $ which sshd
 
 /usr/sbin/sshd
 
 $ pkg_info | grep -i ssh

  I am guessing that a failing disk is responsible for the data
  corruption, but I have no errors in /var/log/messages or console.log.
  On every boot, the mirror is marked clean ad there's no warnings about
  a disk failing anywhere? Where should I be looking for or what should I
  be doing to get any warnings?
  
  Also, how-come if ad4 is the working disk, ad4's slices seem to be
  labelled as ad6. What's going on here? To me, ad6 appears to have
  correct labelling for the mirror from ad6s1a-f
 
 I believe the kernel hides individual labels for a gmirror volume. The
 labels on ad4 should be visible in /dev/mirror/. Because gmirror really
 just mirrors the data block by block (with a little bit of meta data at
 the very end of the drive), once the drive is no longer a member of an
 array, the kernel treats it as an individual drive and allows visibility
 of all the labels.

OK, so not to worry about the slices.

 
  How can I test for sure whether the disk is damaged or dying, or
  whether this is just a temporary glitch in the mirror? This is the
  first time I've had a gmirror raid give me problems.
 
 The first time a drive gets kicked out, I typically try to re-insert it.
 We have monitoring, so we receive notifications if it fails again. After
 that, I get the vendor to replace it. 
 
  Assuming ad6 has been deactivated/disconnected, I was thinking of
  trying:
  
  gmirror activate gm0 ad6
  gmirror rebuild gm0 ad6
  
  Is this safe?
 
 You have to kick ad6 out and re-insert it:
 # gmirror forget
 # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6
 
 After doing that, I would watch closely for a while in case your drive
 is actually failing. I've written a small nagios check for gmirror; let
 me know if you'd like me to send it (it could easily be adapted to a
 cron job). You can also get `gmirror status' output in your dailies by
 adding daily_status_gmirror_enable=YES to /etc/periodic.conf.

I've since added the gmirror entry to periodic.conf, but your script
sounds ideal. I would like that, thanks. I would much rather get some
warning about this happening as it does appear to have caused some data
corruption.

 
 But, given it's timing out on boot, I would personally bag the drive and
 replace it. You'll still need to run the same 2 commands above.

[mesh:/dev/mirror]# gmirror forget
Missing device(s).

[mesh:/dev/mirror]# gmirror status
  NameStatus  Components
mirror/gm0  DEGRADED  ad4

[mesh:/dev/mirror]# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6
Not all disks connected.

Looks like it is new disk time then after all.
Thanks for your advice.

Gary

gmirror disk fail questions...

2008-04-17 Thread Gary Newcombe

Hi all,

Yesterday, after users complaining of strange things happening in their

came back up. gmirror was complaining about ad6 in the raid and the
server had hung bringing the mirror up (this has happened twice now).

Creating a bootable CD with CD Loader

2006-09-22 Thread Gary Newcombe

On Fri, 22 Sep 2006 17:45:36 +0100
Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi, I'm looking to create my own custom boot CD that will be used to
 bootstrap fully encrypted system using GEOM ELI. All the CD needs to do is
 load a kernel to initialize the encrypted root partition on the HDD, and
 read a key file to decrypt it.

Hi Chris,
I recently did this for two laptops, one booting from usb and the other
from cd with both of them getting the key from a usb drive. If your key
is on the cd, then it's no problem. A bit harder if you have to boot
from cd and then mount a usb drive to read the key.

 I ripped the CD Loader image out of one of the FreeBSD 6.1 CD's, and it
 seems to work as wanted. It loads the kernel from the system I'm running at
 the moment, I just put my current /boot directory on the CD (although it
 doesn't fully boot, i guess it just needs some config changes).

How do you mean it doesn't boot fully? Creating a bootable cd is in the
handbook.

# mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b boot/cdboot -o /tmp/bootable.iso /tmp/cdfiles

Your tmp/cdfiles should contain a boot folder matching that on the
encrypted system. You'll only need the kernel and modules that you load
though and gzipping them will speed up the slow boot. You'll also need
to modify your loader.conf:

geom_eli_load=YES
kern.geom.eli.debug=0
kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=0

geli_ad0_keyfile0_load=YES
geli_ad0_keyfile0_type=ad0:geli_keyfile0
geli_ad0_keyfile0_name=/ad0.key

You'll also need an /etc/fstab in /tmp/cdfiles with the root partition: eg 
/dev/ad0.elia   /   ufs rw  1   1

The other thing I recall is that bug kbdmux bug in 6.1. Shows up on
some but not all from what I can remember. If you are using a password
as well as a key, and the keyboard seems to have frozen when you try to
enter the password, try this in device.hints:

hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1

So the files did seem to be intact initially anyway? Just clearing the cache
for the proxy didn't seem to solve the problem btw.

Thanks,

Strange.  I've checked on portsnap1.freebsd.org, and those files are
definitely
intact.  Are you using an HTTP proxy?  It's possible that it might have
cached
a broken version of those files.  Could you look in /var/db/portsnap and
tell
me how large those two files are?
