Why scf (sfcd) monitoring sometimes doesn't work
Hello, I found fsc (http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fsc/) to be extremely useful. Unfortunately, I can't get some services to be monitored, fscadm enable just failes with Could not monitor service. I don't know how kqueue interaction is working, so I can't guess why some services can be monitored fine and others not. How can I start finding out what goes wrong? How does the rc-name play into that role? Thanks, -Harry signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

This applies to jail.conf(5).
That's a entirely new way to handle jails in FreeBSD 9.1. Very nice, but
not included in rc.d.
If you want to keep the traditional way running jails, I made a patch
some time ago to control more per-jail tunables.
Here you can donwload it for -9:
ftp://ftp.omnilan.de/pub/FreeBSD/OmniLAN/deploy-tools/local-patches/src/jail-allow-selectables.patch_9
That also irons some ip configuration cosmetics, see defaults/rc.conf.
If you want to give the new jail(8) and jail.conf capabilities a try,
here's like I use it with vnet (vimage, virtual per-jail-network stack):
Compile a kernel with options VIMAGE
remove # keyword nojail in jail's etc/rc.d/netif and routing (if you
want to set IP addresses inside the jail)
And here's the corresponding jail.conf:
###
exec.start = /bin/sh /etc/rc;
exec.stop = /bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown sleep 2;
exec.clean;
allow.mount;
allow.mount.devfs;
allow.set_hostname;
mount.devfs;
devfs_ruleset=4;
# Dynamic wildcard parameter:
# Base the path off the jail name.
path = /.jail.$name;
mount.fstab=/etc/fstab.$name;
yourname {
mount;
name = inno;
# host.hostname = .your hostname.net; but also set inside the
jail along with network setup
vnet = new;
vnet.interface = jbb$name;
}
###
You can add allow.raw_sockets anywhere.
But with vnet, you don't need that any more.
Just to point you into the right direction.

MTU, fragmentation and Jumbo Frames question
Hello all, I have 3 machines connected to an JumboFrame enabled switch. One FreeBSD 8-stable and two windows machines. I can send echo requests with payload of 8972 between the windows machines, but I don't get an answer from the FreeBSD machine. At the edge of 8130 bytes, the FreeBSD machine eats the packets without any error notification. A payload = 8130 bytes works! All MTUs are set to 9000, interfaces are all intel em. Like mentioned, the ping between the two windows machines work like expected, beyond 8972 bytes payload the OS is fragmenting (resp. tells me that DF bit was set but fragmentation was needed) FreeBSD seems to never fragment packets, since I don't get an answer if I define payload greater than MTU. But this should work, shouldn't it (`ping -s 1 host`) Does anybody have any explanation why pings are working up to 8130 bytes payload and are silently droped beyond that even my MTU ist set to 9000 (and route get confirms the MTU 9000)?

getting program.core, where and how?
Hello, I have a daemon (compiled with -g) which is dying frequently, but I can't get a core dump. The daemon drops privileges and runs as restricted user after startup.

You have to tell the applications the correct terminal settings, meaning number of rows and columns. With ssh or something similar this is done automatically, with tty you would set it on FreeBSD like 'stty rows 25 cols 80'. 'stty -a' shows some tty settings, including rows and columns. Alternately you could set some environment variables for vi, but that doen't work for all applications, so stty is prefered.

uscanner firmware upload? (w/ sane?)
Hello,
I changend usbdevs and uscanner.c a bit so my Epson Perfection 3490 PHOTO
attaches to uscanner0 instead of ugen0. (See patch below)
If I use this scanner on another supported operating system I can connect it
to my FreeBSD machine and scanimage works fine.
But if I repower the scanner scanimage just hangs with -L.
The problem is that the scanner needs firmware to be uploaded when repowered.
I have the correct firmware binary and I also configured sane to use that but
it seems sane doesn't upload the binary.
Is there any method to upload the firmware to uscanner with on board
utilities?
Any other hints?
Thanks a lot,
-Harry

Re: How should I divvy up my HDDs? Suggestions Please.
Am Donnerstag, 5. Mai 2005 14:56 schrieb Jerry McAllister: Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and this list, my name is Donnacha, I'm an Irishman living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have read The Complete FreeBSD's section on disk partioning but would very much appreciate some advice on how to divide up the 2 HDDs I'm getting on my new server. The server is located in a facility in the US and will be used as a Web and email server. It has an 80GB HDD and a 200GB HDD, both IDE but I'm asking for them to be placed on seperate buses. I was thinking of using the 80GB as the primary and placing / on it, while putting /var, /usr and /home on the 200GB. I'll have 2GB of RAM, so, I was thinking about putting 2GB of swap on each HDD. How does that sound. I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me before I relay my instructions to the guys doing the installation. It depends a lot on what you leave in /usr and /var and /home. It kind of looks like you will leave the 80GB drive mostly empty the way you are doing things. If all your accounts and web pages are really in /home and you have no databases, I would be inclined to put both /usr and /var in the 80GB drive and leave the other one for home directories and web pages. Since the default place for databases is in /var that can make a big difference on where you put it or if you take the db directory out of /var and put it somewhere else, etc. Putting some of your swap on each drive as you have indicated is a good idea. Ack! I just wanted to point you to GPT. I always use my second drive without MBR/slices/labels, just GPT. You can create up to 128 Pratitions and together with either growfs ( if you leave unassigned space between the partitions) or gconcat I have a very flexible storage solution (of course gvinum is another option). It's also possible to create a GPT inside a slice (so even on the first HD), just / must be on a bsdlabel. I use such a configuration for jails or virtual hosts, where every jail or virthos has its own mountpoint. Initially with not too much space (1G), increased on demand. -Harry jerry Thanks and I look forward to participating in this community, Donnacha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpdFGjaZxi7C.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, next what I need, is using another port for sending emails out. I have googled and read the sendmail FAQs, but I am completely at a loss here. There is a FAQ, that explains: If you want all outgoing SMTP connections to use port 2525, you can use this in your .mc file: define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2525') define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2525') I have put this in my hostname.mc file, but to no avail. I'm probably not familiar enough with sendmail way of doing things. But then this is such a simple thing, that it should be easy. I suppose that with netstat -a, there should be a line with port 2525, if above works. But that is not there. I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but what you did with these defines is that sendmail contacts every other system at port 2525 insetad of 25, it's not listening on 2525, hence you can't see a tcp/2525 with netstat -a. But I think it should do what you want, if I understand your description right. If you want sendmail to listen at a custom port these defines are wrong. I don't have them in my mind right now, I'm sure you'll find the M4 defines at the sendmail FAQ, tell me if I can help. -Harry Do you have any suggestions how to solve this?

Ok, any help! Then I possibly have something. First, you can create a red book audio CD which contains, simplified, wave-tracks. If you want to make a audio cd out of mp3s you have to convert the mp3 file into a wav file (pcm) and create a audio-cd (formerly done by /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs but rigth now this tiny utility seems to have vanished???!)! ??? Another option is to create a data-CD, containig real mp3 files in ISO9660 Filesystem. But this kind of CD needs to be played on special equipment like newer MP3 capable car radios and so on. HiFi CD Player can't play data CD's contents though many DVD-Players can replay data CDs with ISO9660-mp3 structure on it.

This is only my personal experience: I have got a PIII running all day for over 2 years now (my server): no problems and I am using just the small fan it came with.

At work I have seen three IDE harddisks decease on workstations during the last four and a half years, but never a SCSI harddisk. These workstations are shut down and rebooted Just to brake illusions: I have seen lots of disks dieing. Mostly IDE disks because they're wide spreaded. But I also had a several server SCSI disks (Seagate and IBM) which died, and they hadn't just quit their service, they (the two different I attempted to) were classified as inrecoverable by well known and even better paid special companies like Vogon. So don't tap into the trap that SCSI disks are more reliable! quite often. So *my* summary for your private server would be: - Leaving it on all day will not kill your harddisks, in the contrary: even cheap ones will live longer. - AMD processors tend to run hot, so if you have one, you should look for a good fan.

Re: Filesystem/disk performance problems
Am Dienstag, 11. Mai 2004 23:42 schrieb Paul English: I have a filesystem which is showing some very odd problems on FreeBSD 4.4. The system has one 60GB IDE drive for the os and some user partitions and one 800GB array of 120GB disks attached to a 3ware IDE-RAID controller. The latter is all one big partition. For most files and directories, copying/transferring them around is not a problem. But for a couple of very specific directories, copying them seems next to impossible. When I attempt to copy these, after a few minutes of *extremely* slow copying (1k/min), the system load shoots up and the system becomes virtually unusable. Maybe you want to read the following and try the patch: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=32920+0+archive/2004/freebsd-stable/20040509.freebsd-stable I'm not sure wether it patches cleanly against 4.4 but I'm sure you'll get assistance by the discussing people. -Harry In particular, working with one directory which is 11GB. Some subdirectories, even large ones copy fine from /usr1 (a partition on the 60GB disk) to /raid (the partition for the entire raid array). I can even make a tar of one of the non-working directories to /usr1, copy the tar file to /raid (with no problems), then when I try to untar it on /raid I get the same problem - very very slow (1k/min) and then the system load shoots up to 10+ and the system becomes unusable. In this case the data is going from /raid - /raid instead of from /usr1 - /raid, but it does not seem to help. I've also tried using some other utilities than simply cp in an attempt to fool the system - I've tried scp, and tar cf - . | (cd /raid;tar xf -) as well. There are no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages that look at all related, and there are no messages that are accruing (for example while attempting a copy).

Sendmail and masquerading
Hi all,
I have to _believe_ there's something strange going on with sendmail in the
base system.
I try to convince it to masquerade my righthandside. Therefore I added the
following to bsdharry.zenk.de.mc:
MASQUERADE_AS(`zenk.de')
local-host-names reads:
bsdharry.zenk.de
host reads:
150.20.100.18 bsdharry bsdharry.zenk.de
But sendmail still communicates with Mail from: @bsdharry.zenk.de
Then I made sure that sendmail.cf reads:
DMzenk.de
I also added C{M}bsdharry.zenk.de
Nothing helps!
I also read the post about the not working alias and I wonder if there's
something wrong with recent sendmail versions in the base system (I'm using
-current as from 16th of April).
Any help appreciated,
-Harry

Incidentally, my machine has two VGA ports. If anyone knows how to get both of those working together with XFree86, that would be appreciated too!

Re: Jail setup
Am Freitag, 5. März 2004 00:31 schrieb Chris Meyers: I need to set up a new mail server at a different building, so I thought I would put sendmail and its services (virus scanning etc.) in a jail to be a bit more secure. I thought that before I do this for real I would try setting up a jail on a test server and see if I can ssh to it and generally get things to work. I can't. Here's what I have set up so far. I found a couple how-tos and I am following them; one is an ONLamp article (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/04/jails.html), and the other is the jails section of the AbsoluteBSD book. I am running 5.1. On the server I set up a /usr/jail directory to put the jail into. Then I ran the following from /usr/src/: # make world DESTDIR=/usr/jail # cd etc # make distribution DESTDIR=/usr/jail # cd /usr/jail/dev # sh MAKEDEV jail This is where I had my first problem, MAKEDEV doesn't exist. At first I was a bit concerned about this, then I remembered that in 5.0 and above MAKEDEV isn't necessary, it is handled by the kernel (If that isn't right someone please tell me). I didn't worry about this. Next I ran: # cd ../ # ln -sf /dev/null kernel Then I started my jail: #jail /usr/jail jail.myhost.com 10.0.0.203 /bin/sh Things seem to be fine. I can see the jailed environment and everything looks fine. I log out and then try to set up the last configuations so I can ssh in and run sendmail. In the non-jail /etc/rc.conf I added the following lines: ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=10.0.0.203 netmask 255.255.255.0 This is wrong. The jail can only have one IP so netmask has to be 0x (255.255.255.255) Do you have something like this on the host? fconfig_fxp0=inet 10.0.0.202 netmask 0xff00 #host ifconfig_fxp_alias0=inet 10.0.0.203 netmask 0x#jail 1 sendmail_enable=NONE inetd_flags=-wW -a 10.0.0.202 I also added ListenAddress 10.0.0.202 to /etc/ssh/sshd_config. In the jail's /etc/rc.conf (i.e. /usr/jail/etc/rc.conf) I added: portmap_enable=NO ifconfig_fxp0=inet 10.0.0.203 netmask 255.255.255.0 sendmail_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES and added ListenAddress 10.0.0.203 to /usr/jail/etc/ssh/sshd_config This isn't neccessary, since the jail has only that one IP. IT's important that the host is limited to one address like you wrote a few lines above! Change the IP like I wrote above and everything should be fine. -Harry I then rebooted to shut all services down. When the system was back up and running I ran the commands to mount and start the jail: # mount -t procfs proc /usr/jail/proc # jail /usr/jail jail.myhost.com 10.0.0.203 /bin/sh /etc/rc Things seem to boot fine until it gets to sendmail; it seems to hang there (sshd starts fine though). Eventually sendmail times out and I get a prompt. I figure my jail is running (minus sendmail which I don't care about at the moment), and a ps -ax|grep J shows a few jailed processes running including sshd. From another system I try: % ssh 10.0.0.203 and I get nothing. I can ping 10.0.0.203 just fine (as well as 10.0.0.202). A sockstat -4 shows: root sshd 3041 3 tcp4 10.0.0.203:22 *:* root syslogd2908 4 udp4 10.0.0.203:514*:* root sshd 2650 3 tcp4 10.0.0.202:22 *:* so it seems like sshd is listening on 10.0.0.202 and 203.

Interesting. I create a jailed /dev with the following commands:
mount -t devfs devfs ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev

devfs rule -s 10 add path null unhide

devfs -m ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev ruleset 10
devfs -m ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev rule applyset
and you've certainly got all of those devices.
Ha, found my mistake. I had /dev/fd but not /dev/fd/*
When unhiding fd/* like you (and the default) everything is compiling fine!
But why do I need the floppydisk? Btw. I don't have a floppy in this machine.
Thanks,
-Harry
What device could be needed to compile source code?
I'm not sure why this would make any difference, but try
with just /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/fd, /dev/fd/*, and
/dev/std*.
Also, try listing the contents of /dev before starting
the buildworld, to make sure that nothing is missing.

Interesting. I create a jailed /dev with the following commands:
mount -t devfs devfs ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev
devfs rule -s 10 delset
devfs rule -s 10 add hide
devfs rule -s 10 add path null unhide
devfs rule -s 10 add path zero unhide
devfs rule -s 10 add path fd unhide
devfs rule -s 10 add path 'fd/*' unhide
devfs rule -s 10 add path 'std*' unhide
devfs -m ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev ruleset 10
devfs -m ${BASEDIR}/jail/dev rule applyset
and you've certainly got all of those devices.

It's not floppy disks. These are File Descriptors. checkout what
/dev/stdin, stdout and stderr are symlinked to.
oic.
I saw the linking and was a bit confused. Now I'm clear :)

How to calculate bsdlabel size
Hi all, I manually created disklabels with a size number of 10485760. I wanted to have 5 GigaByte big labels, so 5*1024*1024*1024/512=10485760.

Thanks, -Harry Per default, 5% of the space is reserved for root, so that in the worse case you can always write at least *something* to it as root. When running out of disk space you can actually get a 'df' of 106% or so because of this. It's a FAQ. But it's not my problem. What you mean results in limited available space, but doesn't have any influence on Size summary.

Cheap ATA-Raid-Controllers
Hi all, I'd especially like Søren to make a advice which ATA-Raid Controller on the low end to choose. I tried some based on SIL0680 and was dissapointed, same with HPT370(372) based. Søren has recommended Promise Controllers (since they support FreeBSD development) but he didn't make clear what series (S150/TX2000/TX4000/ SX6000). Of course they are more expensive than a 25$ based SIL680 but if one drive fails and the machine panics it's worth spending a little more. On the other hand I can buy a 3ware 4 port parallel controller for about 200$ so in my opinion the promise SX series has no right to exist since 3ware always has been the straightedge for me. I really think this is on topic with questions@, chat@ I think wasn't the right place. Thanks all, -Harry pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Re: Kernel Upgrades and Patches

Lang wrote: Are there any patches available for the FreeBSD kernel to support features like acpi or usb 2.0 without upgrading to a full 5.1 kernel or is it possible to use the 5.1 kernel without a full upgrade? No. FreeBSD is released as a complete operating system and not just a kernel with distributions arround it. If you want to run FreeBSD you will have to run the operating system. But of course you can get the code you want by cvs. I'm curious if I could do something like in was doing in Linux before linux 2.6 was officially released where I had the choice to run a 2.6 test kernel or load a 2.4 kernel so I could try out some of the new features without dedicating my system to running it full time in case of any stability problems. I did have to upgrade a few core packages, but I could just upgrade each one individually, and they were all fully backward compatible and had no stability issues, by themselves. You have the choice to run -RELEASE, -STABLE or -CURRENT. What you are looking for is -CURRENT. There you can test anything you want and take part in development. For production use you should run RELEASE and you can also run a second installation on your test machine like -STABLE. For more info see the FreeBSD Hnadbook, especiallay: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html Also, are there many patches for trying out new features like improving latency on a system or trying out a new scheduler? (These are just examples I took from linux.) Indeed, there is currently a new scheduler in FreeBSD. You can choose it by compiling your own customized kernel. Also see the handbook for further info (You need options SCHED_ULE) And lastly, is there anyway to emulate running a linux device driver or is it easy to port it to freebsd? No device driver. But you ave a userland emulation. -Harry pgp0.pgp Description: signature
Re: Promise Fastrak ATA RAID 1 mirror lost

Can I do this on a running system or do I first need to drop to single user mode? If I do that, how do that without rebooting? Does anyone have any experience with this? Like you found in the handbook, atacontrol is what you need and yes, you can do it without rebooting or droping into singleuser (if the drive hadn't really failed but only had a bad day like trash on the bus which I regularly have) The other option seems to be to reboot the computer and use the Fastrak firmware to rebuild the array. Last time I tried that it didn't work for SIL0680 nor HPT372, but I don't know about the promise. Give the handbook procedure a try! -Harry Which option is the most painless?

some HTT questions
Hi all, I'm currently working on my first P4 ever. I'm planning a colo production machine with FreeBSD 5.2 (RC2 atm). The info of dmesg about the CPU shows: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2394.13-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = GenuineIntel Id = 0xf27 Stepping = 7 Features=0xbfebfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE So I think this CPU should be HyperThreading capable which gets hardened by those lines: acpi_cpu0: CPU on acpi0 acpi_cpu1: CPU on acpi0 But the next line gives my an error about CPU1: device_probe_and_attach: acpi_cpu1 attach returned 6 This line shows up a second time between probing of sio and nxp0. Ny my guess was that HTT should be enabled in the BIOS but the BIOS has no entry about HTT. How can I use HTT and are my assumptions correct? Thanks, -Harry pgp0.pgp Description: signature

You can edit /boot/loader.rc and comment the line include /boot/beastie.4th and beastie-start 3. I built a custom kernel and chose to incorporate 'hints' within the kernel and that seems to work, but I noticed alot of modules still get built for devices I didnt include or list (like scsi and sound)...how can I effectively remove devices I dont have ? That's because modules are built together with the kernel not with the world. You can change this by adding the following to /etc/make.conf NO_MODULES=true or or and/or MODULES_WITH_WORLD=true ..other than this (so far)..I am very pleased at the performance!
