Re: Soekris for a Trac server
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dunno about Soekris, but I'm very happy with one of these mini-box systems that cost about $250 with a 60GB SSD disk: http://www.mini-box.com/MiniPC-Value-Systems I got a fan but it doesn't need it. It runs ordinary amd64 FreeBSD 9.1, installed from a thumb drive. It provides DNS, DHCP, and some other random services on my home network. It's also my backup server, running a four drive ZFS raid with an ESATA controller, so I bumped the RAM up to 4GB. My only complaint is that the PCI slot doesn't have a matching cutout on the back panel for for the ESATA adapter I have to use a riser card and leave the cover off, which looks stupid but looks fine. It's just like any other FreeBSD box do I don't see why it wouldn't run jails perfecty well.

Re: WANTED: Tool to verify installed package/port consistancy
I expect the reason you won't find a port verifier is that the usual way to recover from a situation like yours is to reinstall them all: # portupgrade --all --force This might take longer than trying to verify them, but it has the advantage of not needing a lot of attention (use -DBATCH to skip config steps) and when you're done, the packages have all been updated and fixed. Doing a general port verifier is a pain because the scripts called from make install can run arbitrary programs.

Strange delays in ZFS scrub or resilver
I have a raidz of three 1 TB SATA drives, in USB enclosures. One of the disks went bad, so I replaced it last night and it's been resilvering ever since. I can watch the activity lights on the disks and it cranks away for a minute or so, then stops for a minute, then cranks for a minute, and so forth. If I do a zpool status while it's stopped, the zpool waits until the I/O resumes, and a ^T shows it waiting for zio-io_cv. I'm running FreeBSD 9.1, amd64 version, totally vanilla install on a mini-itx box with 4GB of RAM. The root/swap disk is an SSD separate from the zfs disks. When the disks are active, top shows about 10% system time and 4% interrupt. When it isn't, top shows about 99.8% idle. The server isn't doing much else, and nothing else currently touches the disks. (They're for remote backup of a system somewhere else, and I have the backup job turned off until resilvering completes.) I'm running this on the console, and there are no disk error messages. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it? I could move the disks to an ESATA enclosure if USB is losing interrupts or something. My recollection is that when I've done a scrub, it does the same thing, work, pause, work, pause.

Re: Building Ports: Is there a make equivalent for --batch ?
... Note that setting the BATCH environment variable to yes will answer yes to any prompts during this process, removing the need for manual intervention during the build process.

Apache 2.2 and php 5.4.5 failing on freebsd 8.3
I have a fully patche amd64 freebsd 8.3 server with apache 2.2 and PHP 5.4.5.

Re: portupgrade -- is there a way to only build and update ports that actually NEED it?
You would think there's an option to portupgrade that says don't upgrade every single package I've got, but if somewhere in the dependency chain I need a newer version of a thing, then do it. The problem is that the versioning in the ports system doesn't distinguish between upgrades that present interface changes and upgrades that are just nits, new features, or minor bug fixes. Port makefiles can contain version dependency info, e.g., this port needs at least version N.M of package X, but few of them do. This has bitten me in the past with PHP and pcre. In fact, PHP5 won't work with old versions of pcre, but the PHP port maintainer refuses to put in version dependency info, because he thinks that every port should be up to date all the time.

Building libreoffice on 8.3 x86-64, not

Free space in ZFS
I made a three disk zraid ZFS pool yesterday from three new 1 TB disks, which I'm using for backup. Then I did a backup and made a zfs volume. The free space numbers don't make sense. This is on 8.3, ZFS version 15. # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAILCAP HEALTH ALTROOT backup2 2.72T 310G 2.42T11% ONLINE - Given that it's zraid, the total available space should be a little under 2TB since the third disk is for parity. But zpool gives me a total of 2.72T, as though the third disk was for data. # zfs list NAMEUSED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT backup2 206G 1.58T 31.3K /backup2 backup2/20120615206G 1.58T 206G /backup2/20120615 Well, that makes more sense, total is 1.78Tb. # df -g Filesystem1G-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on backup216180 1618 0%/backup2 backup2/20120615 1825 206 161811%/backup2/20120615 Now the total is 1.82Tb.

Re: Printing directly to IP address
same way I do, via a wireless network. The difference is that I am using CUPS to achieve that goal. My friend would like to do it sans CUPS if possible. If the printer supports the hoary lpd protocol, you can configure it in /etc/printcap. If it wants socket or IPP protocols, CUPS is the least painful route. Installing CUPS on freebsd is pretty straightforward. The main wart is that you have to manually move all the lpr commands in /usr/bin out of the way and symlink them to the CUPS versions in /usr/local/bin. Other than that, the web config works great, and it has drivers for vast numbers of printers, particularly when you also install hplip.

What's wrong with this code?
This tiny routine is in a .so loadable module I use. (It's part of the
mailfront
SMTP daemon.)
static const char* date_string(void)
{
static char datebuf[64];
time_t now = time(0);
struct tm* tm = gmtime(now);
strftime(datebuf, sizeof datebuf - 1, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S -, tm);
return datebuf;
}
I was getting bogus dates. Running it under GDB, time() is returning
-1, and setting errno to 22, which is EINVAL. Changing the call to
time to time(NULL) or time(now) made no difference.
I changed it to a call to gettimeofday(), which works fine. But what
could the problem have been? When I splice this routine into a tiny
test program that calls it and prints out the result, it works fine.
The obvious problem, since it's in a .so, is that it's linking to something
other than
the system library time() function, but I did an nm on the .so, and it said
this,
which sure looks like the system time() function to me:
U time@@FBSD_1.0
Setting a breakpoint in gdb gets a complaint about trying to set a breakpoint
in /lib/libc.so.7.
Any ideas what the problem was?

Re: Fast personal printing _without_ CUPS
I'm not a huge fan of CUPS, but at this point it's the best of a bad lot. I find the queueing useful, since I often print documents long enough that I don't want to wait. More importantly, CUPS, for me at least, seems to be quite slow. There's a lng pause after I queue something for printing until something actually comes out of the printer. Yeah. I have a similar printer with a similar problem. I believe that what's going on is that the current version of CUPS tells all the clients to print to PDF, then for printers that don't handle PDF, converts that to postcript using ghostscript which is very, very slow. I think this is a bug. A few versions ago it used to tell clients to print postscript which it can send directly to my printer. I also looked at using pdftops, which is much faster, to convert the PDF, but the call to ghostscript and the ghostscript command options are wired into the CUPS code and were more hassle to change than I wanted to do.

Re: Fast personal printing _without_ CUPS
I'm not a huge fan of CUPS, but at this point it's the best of a bad lot. I find the queueing useful, since I often print documents long enough that I don't want to wait. I don't quite understand the issue you are raising john. $ lpr foo $ lpr bar $ lpr baz It will print the three files in a row, starting each when the previous one is done. Like, you know, a print queue. John are you saying that my documents, some of which *start out* as .PS files, are converted by CUPS to .PDF and thence (since I don't have any printers that speak PDF) the document is then converted *back* to Postscript for actual printing?? Seems that way, based on a little poking around. If I use something like evince, I think it will do whatever CUPS tells it to do. If I use the basic CUPS lpr command to print a .ps file, that's fast since there's nothing smart enough to do something stupid. I think this is a bug. If it is, then I think it may be a long-standing one. I did something very like what I just described doing on FreeBSD 8.2 also back on my old FreeBSD 7.0 system which I first installed maybe three years of more ago. My recollection is that CUPS on FBSD 7 printed a lot faster, although it also may have something to do with the fact that I used to use a USB to parallel thing, and since then I scored a print server card on ebay for about $15 and print over the network. (There are other computers on the network that other people print from, so this is an overall win.)

Strange interaction between dump and NFS
Every day, in my logs I see this on an 8.2-RELEASE server: Mar 14 03:11:14 leila mountd[937]: can't export / Mar 14 03:11:14 leila mountd[937]: bad exports list line / -maproot and, indeed, showmout shows that the root isn't exported and NFS mounts of the exported root filesystem stop working. But if I do a kill -HUP of mountd, the export comes back and resumes working. (The /etc/exports file is fine, and does not change.) What happens at 3:11 AM is that dump starts running on the root file system. I use a -L flag, so that's when it's doing the snapshot, which somehow seems to be confusing the mount daemon. But I also dump /var and /usr a little later, and they don't have this problem. The only difference I can see is that /var and /usr have soft updates, while the root doesn't.

Re: Fastest way to get an entire FBSD system back online?
It's not as automated as the Windows approach, but if you know what you're doing it's mostly limited by the speed of the disks. ... Unlike Windows, UNIX gives you the ability to create a fully programmable automated approach according to your needs, e. g. for multiple installations, defective systems can be booted via LAN, USB or CD, ... Of course. But the more interesting question is whether anyone's done that, e.g., a script to put dumps and a description of the disk setup on a backup device, and a boot image that will take the description and the dumps and put them back.

Re: Fastest way to get an entire FBSD system back online?
Is there something similar in the FBSD arena?...some form of backing up a server so that if a drive fails, upon replacement of the drive(s), the OS can be very quickly recovered from a backup (of some sort), or from an image, etc.? I've found that if you make normal backups using dump to a USB disk and keep an install CD handy, it's pretty quick to boot the CD, partition and format the disk, and then restore. It's not as automated as the Windows approach, but if you know what you're doing it's mostly limited by the speed of the disks. Use dump rather than an image copy so you only restore what's actually in use.

Re: Best Laptop to buy for Freebsd Without OS?

Re: shutdown computer after the halt command
I used to believe that until I was shown I was wrong. The easiest way to see you're wrong is to drop to ttyv0 then do one of each like a reboot then a shutdown -r now. In the latter case, you'll notice /etc/rc.d/ and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ stop scripts being processed but not so in the former. Uh, no. shutdown or halt signals init, and init runs /etc/rc.shutdown which runs all the shutdown scripts. The only extra work that shutdown does is to blat lots of warnings onto the ttys. Read the man pages for shutdown, halt, and init if you believe otherwise.

Re: Server hardware
My question -- are any server vendors well recommended for FreeBSD? I bought a used HP Proliant DL385 for about $300 on ebay, then loaded it up with 8GB of RAM (making a total of 12GB) for another $200. Works great, FBSD 8.1 groks all the controllers, even produces appropriate syslog messages when I pull a disk out from the RAID and replace it. I got it when I realized it included a good remote console and the whole thing was about the same price as an add-on remote console for my old server. It's got six 73GB 15K rpm disks, for a total of 360GB usable very fast disk, which sounds like less than you want, but you get get these things with six hot swap SATA slots and put in whatever disks you want. They're kind of pricey when new, but you can usually find last year's model cheap on ebay. I also used to build my own, but at prices like this there's no point.

Re: PHP version dependency problems, was need help with php.
compiled correctly. Then, still nothing. Typing php at a root prompt outputs these warnings. What's strange is that I _thought_ I had mysql set up correctly. PHP has a bunch of version dependencies on other ports that the guy who maintains the PHP port refuses to fix or even to document. I sent in two fixes for a pcre dependency, one of which was a one-line change to the makefile to use the bundled pcre, the other of which was a different one-line change to note the version depenency on the separate pcre port. He rejected them both, insisting that everyone always keeps all their ports current. That's absurd, but there's not much to be done. The failures were odd PHP bugs in packages like mediawiki that used to work just fine. So if you've built PHP on a system that's not freshly installed, I'd suggest one of these to bring all the ports on which it depends up to date. # portupgrade -R php\* # portmaster php\* R's, John ___ 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

Re: Small computer to run a GUI?
well. I went checking out Soekris but couldn't really see if they offer a GUI, the models I looked at didn't have a VGA port though. I was hoping for something about 9 inches square and three inches thick, or smaller. Soekris users consider the lack of VGA to be a feature, since they make the systems smaller and less power hungry. If you want to run X stuff, my advice would be to run a X server on your laptop to make it act like an X terminal, and run the applications on the Soekris over the network. That's how X was designed to be used. Works great. If you really really want to run X on your Soekris, you could plug in a mini-PCI video card, which I see you can get for about $45, but I'd recommend not running an X server process on your server hardware.

Re: Small computer to run a GUI?
I was more thinking of something without a monitor, keyboard or mouse. I want to put it in a cupboard and not worry about it. Sounds like a Soekris. Their net5501 has a 500MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, serial ports, Ethernet, USB, compact flash, SATA, mini-PCI, and no video. It runs FreeBSD. The case is quite small, 6.7 x 11.5 x 1.3, but has room for a 2 SATA disk if you want to add one. If you want wifi you can plug in a mini-PCI card. They make it quite clear that their market is OEMs and they do not offer software support, although there is a friendly community that is helpful if you ask sensible questions. Many people run FreeBSD on them. With a case and wall wart it's under $300. They have slower cheaper boards, if that's all you need.

Using different IP config than what DHCP provides
I run FreeBSD 8.0 on my laptop, works great, when I take it with me I open it up, wpa_supplicanr finds a network and DHCP configures it. On a few networks, though, I want to use a different network setup than the one that DHCP provides. Is there any reasonable way to arrange so that when I'm connected to specific network SSIDs, It runs a config script I write rather than running dhclient, perhaps with a shim in front of dhclient? The situation, in case you're wondering, is that the wifi in most of the local coffee shops is run by the same ISP that hosts my servers, and when I'm on their network, I want to set up in my IP range rather than the default one DHCP offers. It is a pain to have to kill dhclient and do the ifconfig and route commands manually.

Re: DJB and root ns server dnssec signing
I also use djbdns and don't expect any particular problems, since you don't get EDNS responses if you don't make EDNS queries. There's a one-line patch I can probably dig up which makes dnscache accept oversized responses. Dunno if it would help, but it's unlikely to hurt.

Re: Questions about port revision numbers, portsnap, csup
I have the same problem, recently upgraded to PHP 5.3.2 and Apache
was crashing whenever I tried to use a mediawiki page until I commented
out the apc library. (Apache is 2.0, Freebsd is still 7.0, if that
matters.)
cd /usr/ports
fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/diffs/pecl-APC-3.1.3p1.diff
patch pecl-APC-3.1.3p1.diff
Didn't work, because pecl-APC is www/pecl-APC, not devel/pecl-APC. I
edited the patch to be www/ rather than devel/ at which point the
patch applied but make failed due to one of the other patches:
=== Patching for pecl-APC-3.1.3.p1
=== Applying FreeBSD patches for pecl-APC-3.1.3.p1
1 out of 2 hunks failed--saving rejects to apc_sem.c.rej
= Patch patch-apc_sem.c failed to apply cleanly.
*** Error code 1
Here's what's in apc_sem.c.rej

Re: are we CRIMINALS?
He disobeyed a court order. That makes him a criminal. Whether what he was trying to do was right or not is irrelevant. Once the court told him to stop, he should have stopped. I happen to know David Ritz, and it would be extraordinarily out of character for him to have violated a court order. I don't know the exact sequence of alleged events since most of the court papers are sealed, but I do know that for part of the time he was in a coma in the hospital. As others have noted, the judge accepted the plaintiff's claims at face value, even though there are strong reasons to doubt his veracity. This is a travesty of justice, nothing more, nothing less.

Re: ps2pdf problem
However, when I pass the .ps file through the ghostcript with ps2pdf slides gets trimmed. Is there some more advanced option for ps2pdfwr which will enable me to conserve the proper width of slides? It sounds like your pages are formatted as landscape and are being translated as portrait. See http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Ps2pdf.htm There are also options for larger page size which might be what you want. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
