Thanks so much, really interesting and good links but I can't again accomplish my task - I followed http://bsdbased.com/2009/12/06/freebsd-8-vimage-epair-howto as a base tutorial -
I would like simulate more client for my PC using this technology, and that's
my topology:
1 - Two epairs created
2 - Two jail created
3 - Assign one intf for jail
4 - Add the real interface to a bridge where I put all the interfaces
---
JAIL1
0b
---
---
JAIL2
1b
---
---
HOST
0a
1a
em0 -- REAL
---
Where {0,1}a is the first pair and {0,1}b is the second and em0 is my real interface (it has an IP address), then I got to the problem, I tried
to :
jexec 2 dhclient epair1b
And I can see the DHCP packet with the correct MAC address going out, the
server reply (I have a sniffer pc) but the transaction does not end
successfully, what is really strange is that if I attach tcpdump on em0 I can
NOT see the answer server sends while when I try
dhclient em0
I can see the packet going in and out and the DHCP transaction finish successfully. Do you have any idea about how can I accomplish my
target ? Maybe I am using the wrong technology ?
I would not surprised if I make a error on my configuration but what really
interest me is if I CAN do that using jail.
Thanks a lot, and in advance ! :-)
Pietro.
Pietro;
You really have to provide a lot more info about your host system and
jail configuration.
What version of FreeBSD are you running?
Which method do you use to create your jails, rc.d/rc.conf or jail(8).
How are your creating the if_bridge/epair network, IE entering commands
by hand or using a script? Post the script.
Can you post the output of ifconfig command after you have your jail
looking for command to display default route ip address

netgraph network for jail(8) vnet jail unable to reach internet
Hello list.
Trying to get my script to work that creates a netgraph network for a
jail(8) vnet jail. Every thing seems to work, but from inside of the
started vnet jail I can not ping the public internet. The host can ping
the public internet so the problem has to be in the netgraph script. The
problem must be staring me in the face but I can just not see it. A
fresh pair of eyes may see things I am missing.
I'm running 9.1-RELEASE with vimage compiled into the kernel. Non-vnet
jails work fine and bridge/epair networked vnet jails work fine. The
host has a single ethernet interface (rl0) facing the public internet.
Dhcp is used to get the hosts ip address and dns server info. The
vnet.ng script is designed to create a single ng bridge to rl0 and
connect vnet jails to it as the jails are started. The following is a
walk through of a test cycle showing what I can see from the host. At
the end is a listing of the vnet.ng script.

Re: ngctl list ?
Teske
Here is my results
Without netgraph compiled into the kernel, issuing ngctl list command
on the host only shows the socket for ngctl.
After I issue the kldload command on the host for netgraph ng_bridge
ng_eiface ng_ether ng_socket, then issuing ngctl list command now
shows the real NIC interface device names.
Thanks for you insight.
I have another problem.
To standardize my bridge and eiface names I want to use the JID number
as a suffix.
jid=`jls -j ${jailname} jid`
bridge_name=bridge${jid}
When creating the bridge it gets assigned bridge_name just like I want.
I want to assign the ${jid} to the ieface peer name and can not figure
out the syntax. This is the command I am using now
ngctl mkpeer eiface ether ether
This creates a default name of ngeth0
I would be ok with ngeth${jid}
But would really like to assign my own peer name vetjail${jid}
Does the mkpeer syntax allow doing this?
Thanks
Joe

netgraph network setup for jail(8) vnet jails.
Hello list
I cant get to the internet using this netgraph setup script.
I sure would appreciate giving this console log a look over for
errors. My netgraph knowledge level is not sufficient to see what is
wrong. The goal is to run this script to setup and break down a netgraph
network for a single vnet jail at a time. rl0 is the real nic interface
device name of the nic facing the internet. This box is on my lan and
the gateway box does NAT for all lan boxes. The host running this script
can ping the internet ok.
Thank you very much for your help.
The host's kernel has modules with vimage ipfw compiled in.

Hello dear,

And in /etc/rc.conf only foo in the jail_list parameter, but when I try

Regards,
There are 2 methods for configuring jails.
The legacy method which you put the jail config statements in the hosts
/etc/rc.conf file and start and stop control is done by the hosts
/etc/rc.d/jail script at boot time.
The jail(8) method which has it's own jail config statements in the
hosts /etc/jail.conf file and uses the jail(8) program for starting and
stopping. You can create a jail.conf file for each jail(8) and start it
using jail -c -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf and stop by issuing
jail -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf -r jailname
You can not mix the 2 methods.
My real problem is that I wanted to add allow.sysvipc only for *one* jail
and I can't find a real solution by jail_* flags in /etc/rc.conf
There is jail_allow_sysvipc but it enable it for all jails.
The jail(8) method does have a allow_sysvipc on a per jail basis. To use it
you have to use the jail(8) method. The 9.1-RELEASE legacy method is a work

designed to provide and should NOT be used on any jails having public
internet access.

parameter?
PostgreSQL, usually I install it on the host instead of jails, but I
needed a second instance on a different port for a public access..

That all sounds logical and is what jails are designed to do.
Why would running PostgreSQL in a jail need sysvipc?
Have you tried it? Did you get some PostgreSQL error?

There are 2 methods for configuring jails.
The legacy method which you put the jail config statements in the hosts
/etc/rc.conf file and start and stop control is done by the hosts
/etc/rc.d/jail script at boot time.
The jail(8) method which has it's own jail config statements in the
hosts /etc/jail.conf file and uses the jail(8) program for starting and
stopping. You can create a jail.conf file for each jail(8) and start it
using jail -c -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf and stop by issuing
jail -f /etc/jailname.jail.conf -r jailname
You can not mix the 2 methods.

My real problem is that I wanted to add allow.sysvipc only for *one* jail and

There is jail_allow_sysvipc but it enable it for all jails.
The jail(8) method does have a allow_sysvipc on a per jail basis. To use
it you have to use the jail(8) method. The 9.1-RELEASE legacy method is
a work in process to incorporate the jail(8) parameters into the rc.conf

Devin Background info. I had put load commands for ipfw modules into /boot/loader.conf to test if this would work with a kernel that has vimage compiled in. The boot process would start normally and progress to the point where the usb messages get displayed and them the system would freeze up becoming unresponsive. Figured I would just reboot and go in single user mode and remove the statements from loader.conf. But no matter what I tried the boot menu would no go into single user mode. The solution was to take a testing disk that had 9.1-rc3 on it and cable it as master and the original disk as slave. In this configuration the system booted correctly and I mounted the slave and corrected loader.conf. Recabled the original disk as master and was back in business. I think that because the ipfw modules were loaded before the boot process got to the boot menu is what caused the boot menu to not function correctly. Don't see a PR in this case.

Not using ipfw by myself, but according to the handbook, the modules are loaded automatically, when editing rc.conf to load the firewall: Quote: IPFW is included in the basic FreeBSD install as a run time loadable module. The system will dynamically load the kernel module when rc.conf contains the statement firewall_enable=YES.

What you wrote ONLY applies to the HOST. It has NO effect for a vimage jail. If I use ipfw on the host, then yes the ipfw modules are dynamically loaded into the kernel at boot time and the vimage jail can use them. But I use ipfilter on my host which means I have to recompile the kernel with ipfw hard coded in. Should be able to load the ipfw modules at boot time using loader.conf and still use ipfilter on the host dynamically. So back to the original question.

jail(8) vimage epair bridge
Hello questions list
I am using jail(8) trying to get a functional vimage environment on my
9.1-RELEASE system. My PC only has a single real NIC facing the public
internet. My goal is to be able to have multiple vimage jails, each with
their own epairXa epairXb and bridgeX where the X is the jails JID
number all having their traffic passing through the single rl0 real
interface. The vnet.start script shown below handles this nicely.
The problem is after the first vimage jail is started the rl0 interface
gets marked as busy when the second vimage jail is started.
How do I get all vnet jails to pass through the real rl0 interface?
Thanks for you help

You cannot yourself change the license on code you do not hold the copyright on. Period. If you make changes and redistribute them then add your copyright notice with license to the files. Do not remove the existing copyright notice(s) and license(s). You hold the copyright for stuff you wrote, but the original copyright stays for the parts that did not come from you. Parts means any fraction of a file from the whole file down to small amounts. You are allowed to add restrictions (unless the existing license says you can't), but you are not allowed to loosen the existing restrictions (unless the existing license says you can). Also, it follows from the copyright that your license only applies to the parts copyrighted by you. The existing licenses are similar in that they apply only to their parts of the file. All licenses must be followed when the file is treated (copied, used, etc) as a whole. Make sure your license isn't incompatible with the license that applies to other parts of the same file. If that happens then how it will turn out in court is anyone's guess. The file may not be usable by the public, or the incompatible license terms added by you may be struck down, or a judge could cook up something else. It can't be predicted in advance so just don't even go there. Giving credit where it is due is an important social convention, and I'm glad to see that you aren't planning on doing anything unethical like breaking it. But copyright comes from the law and thus must be obeyed even if you wanted to break purely social conventions. Read up on copyright, and when you do pay close attention to the reliability of the source. The issue has become very political in the past 15 years or so. Don't be badly advised by someone who has their own agenda. Most people, to varying degrees, have their own agenda. Finally, if money is at stake (directly or indirectly) I strongly advise talking to a copyright lawyer in particular. That's just general advice. Taking advice from random people online is not a good idea if any money is involved, but I'd give the same advice to my best friend. The general rule applies here as it does elsewhere: You get what you pay for. Does one have to file legal paper work with the government to be issued a copyright on software?

OTOH, apropos compression may be instructive: 7z (and related) I am using -z option for gzip and it sure is slow. Hoping one of the other zip options are better. What do you guys use? Used to use bzip2 and tar. Nowadays I just place files on a big disk that only runs when I backup my bits. Another question about tar is can I have tar create a compressed bkup of 2 files and a directory tree all in single tar command? For directories, I've used this: tar -cf - -C srcdir . | tar xpf - -C destdir The tar man page has this: tar -czf file.tar.gz source.c source.h Since anything is a file, it seems to me it would work on a directory with this: tar -czf file.tar.gz source.c source.h /path/to/directory I also note that (since you've mentioned mtree) the man page on tar provides an example on mtree.

This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.

Or is this just repetition in case we didn't hear you the first time? just yesterday i've heard lots of otherwise claim. Try thinking of the transition as a step back to take many steps forward. What exactly step forward it means? For now i see ONLY politics and aggression after pointing out facts. This doesn't look like serious behaviour of serious people. I think that this is a more complicated decision than just choosing the 'fastest' compiler. There are many other variables involved, and of course the decision has a political dimension. Most things do. Diversity and competition are nice attributes to have in a system. Having alternatives allows users choose a compiler based on what criteria they think are important. Users also benefit from the experience, but more importantly, for such non-trivial projects as LLVM, different designs are interesting in themselves. I personally, am looking forward to seeing what the lldb debugger can do. Historically, some of the most important software projects have been themselves disasters, but they've lead people to change the way they think about a problem and lead to later better solutions-- for example MULTICS ;) This is part of the development process. And this can't just happen in a laboratory. LLVM needs projects like FreeBSD to test it and simply be involved. I notice that bitrig, which recently forked from OpenBSD, and which want to be a more progressive operating system will also be swapping to LLVM and Clang. We don't know what possible benefits there will be from the LLVM project. But there will be some. I was a bit frustrated about being stuck with gcc4.2 for a while, and was trying to compile as many ports as possible using gcc4.6 (FreeBSD 8.2). There seemed to be some improvement in performance, but now I don't bother, world is compiled with Clang and the ports are compiled with gcc4.2 and everything works (most of the time.) I'm satisfied with performance. I don't really understand your concerns. I mean unless you're a fairly radical environmentalist and are really concerned about saving every clock-cycle, running a bit slower really isn't that much of a problem most of the time.

If you ever had to wade through gcc's debug output and compare several thousand character long template instantiations, just to find where they differ and then see the clear problem descriptions that clang produces instead, you'll understand what I mean. And in combination with libc++, which just arrived on stable, I am finally able to use all the features of C++11 that I want. Try to use e.g. std::regex even on g++47, and just see what happens. Of course, getting rid of GPL is an added benefit ;) After reading all those complaints, I just had to respond and thank everyone involved very much for importing clang and libc++.

Questions on adaptive mutexes and trylock
The newest GLib (as well as PHP APC) is starting to use adaptive mutexes in their code. When a mutex type is set to adaptive and you try to call pthread_mutex_trylock() on it, you get back an EINVAL. Is this a bug, or should this really be happening (the code clearly indicates adaptive mutexes are not handled by trylock)? I imagine Linux is not doing this since the code doesn't abort on Linux as it does on FreeBSD. Should we be silently allowing trylock to perform a no-op on adaptive mutexes, or should we be handling adaptive mutexes with trylock? Thanks.

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Hi, * have you filed a PR? * is the crash easily reproducable? * are you able to boot some ramdisk-only FreeBSD-8.2 images (eg create a ramdisk image using nanobsd?) and do some stress testing inside that? It sounds like you've established it's a storage issue, or at least interrupt handling for storage issue. So I'd definitely try the ramdisk-only boot and thrash it using lighttpd/httperf or something. If that survives fine, I'd look at trying to establish whether there's something wrong in the disk driver(s) freebsd is using. I'm not that cluey on ESXi, but there may be some PIC/APIC/ACPI change between 7.x and 8.0 which has caused this to surface. We've seen this. Or something that seems really like it. We run dozens of FreeBSD VM's, many of which are 8.mumble. We have a scripted build environment dating back many years, so generally servers come out in a fairly reproducible form. After several months of smooth running, we had need to shuffle some things around, and migrated some servers to a different datastore. Suddenly, one particular VM, our corp Jabber server, started randomly disconnecting people every morning. Some inspection showed that the machine was running, but disk I/O in the VM was freezing up. Subsequent inspection suggested that it was happening during the periodic daily, though we never managed to get it to happen by manually forcing periodic daily, so that's only a theory. Given that several times it appeared that one of the find commands was running, I was guessing that something in the thin provisioned disk image for the system had gone bad, but reading the entire disk with dd didn't cause a hang, running the periodic daily by hand didn't cause a hang, etc. Migrating the VM to a different host and datastore did not fix the issue. Migrating the VM from an Opteron to a Xeon host with all the latest ESXi 4 patches also didn't make any difference. Migrating the disk image from thin to full seemed to fix it, but I only gave it a day or two, then decided there were other good reasons to reload the VM, so I nuked the VM, which, of course, fixed it. In the meantime, a dozen other similar VM's alongside it run just fine. My conclusion was that it was something specific that had gone awry in the virtual machine, probably in the disk image, but I could not identify it without significant digging that I had no particular reason or inclination to do; since it appeared to be a VMware problem, the reload it and be done with it seemed the quickest path to resolution. That having been said, if anyone has any brilliant ideas about what would constitute useful further steps to isolate this, I can look at recovering the faulty VM from backup and seeing if it still exhibits the problem. ...

And it's not so much a crash as it is a disk I/O hang. The fact that it was happening regularly to that one VM, while a bunch of other similar VM's were running alongside it without any incident, along with the problem moving with the VM as it is moved from host to host and from Opteron to Xeon, strongly points at something being wrong with the VM itself. Our systems are built mostly by script; I rebuilt the VM a few months ago and the problem vanished. The rebuilt system should have been virtually identical to the original. I never actually compared them though. My working theory was that something bad had happened to the VM during a migration from one datastore to another. We have a really slow-writing iSCSI server that it had been migrated onto for a little bit, which was where the problem first appeared, I believe. At first I thought it was the nightly cron jobs just exceeding the iSCSI server's capacity to cope, so we migrated the VM onto a host with local datastores, and it remained broken thereafter. So my conclusion was that it seemed likely that somehow VMware's thin provisioned disk image had gotten fouled up, and under some unknown use case, it could be teased into locking up further I/O on the VM. I wasn't able to prove it. I tried a read-dd of the entire disk - passed, flying. I tried several things to duplicate the nightly periodic tasks where it seemed so prone to locking up. They all ran fine. But if I left the machine run, it'd do it again eventually. I explained it at the time to one of my VMware friends: But here's where it gets weird. Three times, now, one VM - our Jabber server - has gone wonky in the wee early AM hours. Disk I/O on the VM just locks up. You can type at the console until it does I/O, so you can put in root at the login: prompt but never get a pw prompt. My systems all run top from /etc/ttys and I can see that a whole bunch of processes are stopped in getblk. It's like the iSCSI disk has gone away, except it hasn't, since the other VM's are all happily churning away, on the same datastore, on the same VMware host. http://www.sol.net/tmp/freebsd/freebsd-esxi-lockup.gif Now it's *possible* that the problem actually happens after the 3AM cron run (note slight CPU/memory drop) but the Jabber implosion actually happens around 0530, see drop in memory%. But the root problem at the VM level seems to be that disk I/O has frozen. I can't tell for sure when that happens. All three instances are similar to this. I can't explain this or figure out how to debug it. Since it's locked up right now, thought I'd ping you for ideas before resetting it. Now that was actually before we migrated it back to local datastore, but when we did, the problem remained, suggesting that whatever has happened to the VM, it is contained within the VM's vmdk or other files. ...

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
And then there is this one with similar symptoms and a workaround: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3D27899 I'm now investigating those loader.conf options. I have my crashy machine set to use them on next boot so we'll see if it crashes now that I'm using LSI SAS emulated controller. If it still crashes, we'll see what happens after that with those loader.conf options enabled. Um, if I may, that's something completely different. VMDirectPath, or PCIe passthru, is making a hardware device on a VMware host available directly to a guest. It'll take your LSI controller, in the example cited, and make it unavailable to VMware ESXi, and present it instead inside the guest environment. You do this when you have an app whose performance would suffer greatly when made to operate through the indirection that a VM naturally lives in; for example, it is quite common for FreeNAS users to pass a disk controller through to a VM guest in order to allow a virtualized FreeNAS instance to directly manage the physical disks. In that case, there are some issues with ESXi and interrupt delivery to the guest VM; virtualization doesn't actually get rid of the possibility of ESXi problems, since the hypervisor is still ultimately involved. It is certainly possible that there's some common issue involving interrupt delivery somehow, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. It also doesn't explain the experience here, where one VM basically crapped out but only after a migration - and then stayed crapped out. It would be interesting to hear about your datastore, how busy it is, what technology, whether you're using thin, etc. I just have this real strong feeling that it's some sort of corruption with the vmfs3 and thin provisioned disk format, but it'd be interesting to know if that's totally off-track. ...

How much space do I need on / for a 7.4 to 8 stable upgrade?
I need to upgrade a server from 7.4 stable to 8.x stable. I running buildworld as I write this, and plan to build a GENERIC kernel. The root disk partition is 248 MB which was probably the auto default size when the server was originally built. I remember having to do some scrambling during the last update to free up enough space for a new kernel and I really don't want that to happen again. I have 65MB of free space on /. Is that going to be enough? I've already moved tftpboot to /usr, cleaned out /root, /boot/kernel.old, and /tmp. What else could I clean out if I need more space?

Re: FreeBSD Kernel Internals Documentation
of terms but
not the other? It is either right or it is wrong. You cannot be
slightly pregnant. I personally find such terms morally repugnant;
however, since they are commonly used on this forum it appears that they
are socially acceptable. Would you not concur or are you going to try
and bullshit your way out of this one?
You so clearly define what is the basic problem with FreeBSD in
general. The sour grapes attitude is so clearly self evident. You
would rather spend your time defending something that doesn't work
as fully functional as it could be if the developers stopped patting
themselves on the back for accomplishing what other OSs had already
done 3 or more years earlier and rather attempted to bring the OS on
par with those competing OSs.
What do you define with your hanging around sniping at people and
sabotaging discussions attitude? In the years I have been on this
list, it seems like you have demonstrated a rabid hatred of all
things related to FreeBSD and most things related to open source
software in general, which makes me wonder why you hang around this
mailing list.
I have a morbid hatred of those who suffer from decidophobia. However,
after restudying the matter, I think it more likely that the real
problem is an irrational fear of success. If only Microsoft was able to
accomplish things like easily getting a printer fully functional under
its environment, making sound or video or wireless cards work without
in all too many cases resorting to draconian measures, and the list
goes on, I would agree with you. However, we (and by we I am assuming
that you haven't got your head buried so far up your ass that you are
not aware of what is transpiring on other Operating Systems) are both
aware that, that is not the case. Linux in general and Ubuntu in
particular have made huge strides in making computers easier to use and
opening up the path for better, easier and more advanced software to be
installed.
There is a commonly held truism, If you are not the lead dog of the
pack, the view never changes. Now if you are happy playing follow the
leader and watch their balls dangle in your face, then fine.
Personally, I want to be in the lead. As soon as anyone steps up and
remarks about FreeBSD's standing in the desktop market, they are
immediately met with the Blame the {fill in the blank} choir. I am
now officially renaming that the Sour Grapes Posse.

Re: FreeBSD Kernel Internals Documentation
Writers who rely on ideological positions such as (socialism || fascism || jedi-knight == good | bad) really need to go visit a social science mailing list. It's not like political/ religious mailing lists don't exist. My positivist take on things: 1. Nobody is stopping anybody from changing their freebsd kernel. The same cannot be said of MS Windows. Documentation is an excuse. 2. FreeBsd is a main-stream O/S-- just look at the number of different architectures/applications which are supported by FreeBSD. 3. FreeBSD isn't even hard to use, if you only want to use it like 80% of computer users, to run your web browser, watch videos and listen to music. People who consider it difficult might like to remember their first experiences with learning windows. 4. Drivers aren't really a limitation. Look at the history of computing, that modern O/S support such diverse platforms is an amazing development. As far as I'm concerned, FreeBSD supports main stream components, there are no classes of components that I'm aware of which aren't supported by FreeBSD. If you need to use a particular device, for which there is no driver, historically it's not unusual to find that on any particular platform a particular device is not supported. 5. Nobody is making anyone use FreeBSD. It's free. If you don't enjoy it, don't use it. Maybe remove yourself from the mailing list-- or don't, if you just want to stay informed. Normative takes: 6. Is FreeBSD better than windows? For me it is. For me it's stabler. What I remember from using windows, and what I'm aware of, from people around me who use windows is that over time, the system seems to degrade. This leads to really major actions such as re-installation every 6mths or so. And... 7. The temptation to install illegal software on MS Windows is very high. Who wants to pay for every little gimmicky app? Who can afford to pay for some major applications, which are needed for studying etc.? This often leads to an unstable system and security problems. The ports system in comparison is a much preferred software/ application distribution system because at least you get to look at the source code, if you want to. 8. It's an individual choice. Depends what you use your computer for. maths/R is one of my favorite applications and it even runs on windows. May the force be with you!

Re: The ports are really funcional?
I agree, the ports are *amazing*. Even when installing a major component like kde4. If you have your base system set up correctly this very complex task will generally complete flawlessly. For a first-time install you can accept most of the default options when configuring, but it's probably not a good idea to just blindly accept every default. Experiment with the different port management software until you find something which you like. Read the documentation about dealing with common issues, making backups, saving compiler/ installation errors, etc. If you are having many problems with ports which require few dependencies, you may have a non-ports related issue of some kind. My entire system is ports based and I belong more to the user than the hacker class. Good luck!

But this is, I think, a case for 1% of users only. You hardly need to do that. In most cases, the default options are fine, and the binary packages just work. For things you want to tailor and optimize to your needs then use the ports system.

After reading the thread referenced above, and looking at the output of my build, I noticed that the build was failing in different areas. So I decided to run make on the port multiple times, and eventually the port installed successfully. However, the port in my tree (dated # $FreeBSD: ports/misc/freebsd-doc-en/Makefile,v 1.36 2011/05/22 14:28:49 blackend Exp $) in a fresh tree made only through 2010, according to the copyright at the top of the handbook. Individual files in that doc tree were variously dated; the newest being 8/2010. So I ran make, multiple times, on the source; and that gave me a doc tree dated 2011. Most of the files there were dated 5/29/11. A few exceptions were found in image files dated 3/2010, which all loaded in SeaMonkey, except for some files in: advanced-networking, security, vinum, geom. I may have missed others in other books. To summarize: 1) It appears that make is, in this case, a hammer that must be applied more than once to either the source or the port. 2) Not all images are seen as valid, and according to make may have bad magic numbers. If building from source is used on a fresh tree, it may be possible to have make ignore all the errors by using the -k flag. 3) I have no idea how things will go with an upgrade to the doc source; I normally use portupgrade, so I suppose I will find out later. I've submitted a bug report.

cpio misunderstanding?
Let me state a couple of given's up front:
1) I would post this on a FreeSBIE list if I could find one.
2) I think the issue I have right now is not understanding completely the
limitations of cpio.
My problem is that when building the file system to use for making the iso
cpio fails when copying some of the files saying Operation not permitted.
These are some of the files fairly important to the operating system like
libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and lib/libc.so.7.
I don't see any reason for copying the other 16,540 files and failing on
these 22 important files.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a better understanding of
what's going on, or even just call me an idiot and tell me the simple thing
I've missed? Either will be appreciated.
Joe.
Details
I'm using 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #2, and freesbie-2.0.20070710 from
ports. I've updated the kernel conf file to match GENERIC, with the
following lines from the original FreeSBIE kernel added at the end:
device bktr
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
device pf
device pflog
device pfsync
options IPSTEALTH
options IPDIVERT
options GEOM_UZIP
options GEOM_LABEL
options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
The system seems to build fine but hits a snag in this section of the
script:
# If FILE_LIST isn't defined...
if [ -z ${FILE_LIST:-} ]; then
# then copy the whole filesystem
find . -print -depth | cpio -dump -l -v ${CLONEDIR} ${LOGFILE}
21
else
# else pass it to cpio
... more code to dump filenames from ${FILE_LIST} to cpio ...
fi
If I try to run it manually on one of the files that fails, I get this:
slug# echo /usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -dump -l -v
/usr/local/freesbie-clone
/usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
cpio: Can't create '/usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie-
fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1': Operation not permitted
0 blocks
I can use cp to copy the file, so I don't understand what's going on here.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know if this is your problem, but whenever I see that Operation not permitted error I start to suspect file flags. You might want to check for extra flags put on the source file or destination directory and see if anything weird had been set on it. You can look at the flags with the command ls -lao. You may also want to do a man chflags and read the manual page there. OK, now I know what's going on. I just don't know why. The immutable flag was set on all these files, if you clear it cpio will happily copy them to the new directory. I'm guessing it's a change in how the installation copies the files with the schg intact, I ran into a discussion about that from 2008. The original FreeSBIE scripts were based on FBSD 6.2 and maybe never ran into this issue. I don't quite get why this works this way though. I understand the immutable flag will keep the file itself from being changed, deleted or moved. But I don't see in any documentation that the immutable flag will not allow a file to be copied. I did note that when using the 'cp' command it cleared the immutable bit on the new file instead of keeping it, but at least it makes the copy.

ipfw and outbound IP rules
Hello, I'm using imapproxy and it is making outbound connections using one of my IP aliases rather than the parent IP. According to the devs of this software there is no such option to specify the outbound IP. Can I create an ipfw rule that will reroute/rewrite requests from one of these secondary IP into my main IP?

IP aliasing and Postfix

The problem is, as far as mail sending goes the IP address that should be used is address3, when what is presented to my relayhost is address1. My rc.conf: ifconfig_em0=inet address3 netmask 255.255.255.128 ifconfig_em0_alias0=inet address1 netmask 255.255.255.128 ifconfig_em0_alias1=inet address2 netmask 255.255.255.128 How do I get Postfix to use address3 in sending out mail? If I set Postfix's myhostname to a FQDN that resolves as address3, inet_interfaces will not work when set to: inet_interfaces = $myhostname it needs to be set to: inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost I see nothing in Postfix that would explain why Postfix is gleaming onto address1, which makes me think that perhaps this is a BSD ifconfig thing and it is gleaming onto the first address it finds associated with my em0 interface, which if the ifconfig and its IP order means anything, is address1?
