We/I have a FreeBSD 10 box running a PostgreSQL 9.2 server containing literature references via RefDB, some sort of bugtracking via Bugzilla, several astronomical databases of the IAU (minor planet objects) and others. Those databases are kept and maintained on one single box at the department. Since a lot of the data is needed in my home office or at a lab with non-permanent internet connection, I desperately need to synchronize the databases kept on the master with some backup database systems acting as master/slave when they are online. The latter definition is fuzzy, since what I need is an automated synchronization of the real master with a sporadically upcoming slave at home or at field sites for my science where, as said, the internet connectivity isn't provided 24/7. I feel realy uncomfortable with the built-in streaming replication of PostgreSQL 9.2 since I never managed it to make a successful replication. As far as I understand, the streaming mechanism of PostgreSQL 9.X expects the slaves to be always online, to which the replication. I was said that Bucardo (http://bucardo.org/) would be the tool of choice, but FreeBSD ports seem not not have this tool.

some ports have OPTIONS, then you can use make config / make

others don't, then you can set them in /etc/make.conf, for example :

WITHOUT_APACHE=YES
WITHOUT_IPV6=YES
#WITHOUT_NLS=YES
WITHOUT_KDE=YES

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/x11/rxvt-unicode}
WITHOUT_AFTERIMAGE=yes
.endif
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/editors/vim}
WITH_GTK2=yes
.endif
(of course you can always use make -DWITH_FOO -DWITHOUT_BAR clean
install clean)

ports are great but while my machine is compiling i receive messages about

in gentoo i was able via the file /etc/portage/package.use to determine
which flags i wanted to enable and which not.
is there any way to do this in FreeBSD,since gentoo's portage is based on
ports.

Intel SRCZCR ?
Hello, At work we've a machine which is currently running FreeBSD 7.0 and we would like to upgrade to 7.2 This machine has an esoteric embedded RAID controller, the Intel SRCZCR RAID adapter. When I installed the machine one year ago I read the RELEASE Hardware Notes to check whether this chipset was supported or not. I didn't found any references, but I came across http://www.krellis.org/unix-stuff/srczcr-freebsd-howto.html and read that if was in fact supported by the iir(4) driver. Although I had a panic with the GENERIC kernel (see kern/122067), it works like a charm for more than one year now. Do you know if this card is still supported by the iir(4) driver (or other) in the 7.2-RELEASE ?

No problems, except that two days ago I noticed those messages in my kernel logs : Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max tunable. Since vm.pmap.shpgperproc and vm.pmap.pv_entry_max require a reboot I want to be sure that I put good values (for ex: I read that increasing too much vm.pmap.shpgperproc could result in a panic at boot time or later). I have the following in /boot/loader.conf : kern.ipc.semmni=1024 kern.ipc.semmns=16384 kern.ipc.semmnu=16384 vm.pmap.shpgperproc=225 vm.pmap.pv_entry_max=4134816 and the following in /etc/sysctl.conf : kern.ipc.shmall=262144 kern.ipc.shmmax=1073741824 kern.ipc.semmap=16384 kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1 Do you think that those values for vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shpgperproc are OK ? Is it OK to increase vm.pmap.pv_entry_max as long as vm.kvm_free is not too low ?

Re: Looking for a Good FreeBSD and General Unix Backup System
If you're looking for something serious (I mean with incremental/differential/full backups, retension periods, pools, multi platform, tape/file/dvd support, ...) I highly suggest Bacula (http://www.bacula.org). I use it successfully at work since two years (we used Amanda before) to backup 10+ machines (FreeBSD and Linux mainly) best regards, Julien On Tue, 2009-01-27 at 16:30 -0600, Martin McCormick wrote: Several months ago, I started using dar to backup a number of FreeBSD and Linux systems to one FreeBSD box. It worked fine once one got the syntax of the remote commands working, but then it all died when I moved it to a new FreeBSD6.3 system. If I can't figure out what is wrong or whether it is worth fixing, I am going to have to find some other archiver so we can get good backups and trust them to be easily restored. What we plan to do is backup a bunch of Unix systems to one FreeBSD box and then use a commercial package to back that box up to an enterprise-wide system we use. The archiver we need must be able to make 1 full backup of each system like tar and then incrementals until we are ready for another full backup. Any suggestions as to what is best? Dar seemed to be okay until the incrementals would hang each time with some error messages about the format version being too high which is bogus because we are using the same version for all the effected systems. The archive files should use tar or some other common storage method so we could unpack an archive from a Linux system in to a FreeBSD directory or vice versa. Any backup packages using tar would be fine as long as they can do incremental backups and use ssh as the transport. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Today, with Linux, tomorrow, Windows or Mac OS X. so not right but interoperable. if i do have only unix systems in LAN, NIS is much better easier and faster. for windows-only LAN with unix server, simply using samba is OK. Here all the machines use OpenLDAP with pam_ldap and nss_ldap with /home mounted on the file server, so that an user can login on every machine and find back his /home. We've also a domain controller which uses Samba and the same LDAP database. So you create the account once and the users can automatically login on the unix and windows machines. It works pretty well. I don't know NIS so much, but I think that LDAP has two advantages : the protocol, and it's use of (extensible) schemes. ___ 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 -- Julien Cigar Belgian Biodiversity Platform http://www.biodiversity.be Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) Campus de la Plaine CP 257 Bâtiment NO, Bureau 4 N4 115C (Niveau 4) Boulevard du Triomphe, entrée ULB 2 B-1050 Bruxelles Mail: jci...@ulb.ac.be @biobel: http://biobel.biodiversity.be/person/show/471 Tel : 02 650 57 52 ___ 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

This basically brings up a pile of spam links.
I need to do a find / replace throughout the entire of the
/home/horbury/public_html directory...
I've tried 'find /home/Horbury/ -type f | xargs grep -l base64_decode'
to get a list of the files that require the operation performing, but it
comes up with an error (xargs: unterminated quote) after a few
results...
Any tips? Basically to find the above and remove it... otherwise I'll
have to resort to doing it in Dreamweaver and reuploading, which is a
major pita, or restoring from a backup (after working out when exactly
this happened and how - I'm guessing thru a teacher's out of date
wordpress install somewhere).

HP Proliant DL360 G5
Dear FreeBSD users, Our hardware begins to age and we plan to buy two new machines at HP. Our choice focused on the HP Proliant DL360 G5. As HP doesn't officially support FreeBSD, I checked with the 7.0-RELEASE Hardware Notes and everything seems to be supported, except the network interface which is an HP NC373i. From what I can see, only NC370i and NC370T are supported. Can someone confirm that this chip is not supported (and that the rest is OK) ? If you have other comments about our choice they are welcome too ...

Re: continuous backup solution for freebsd?
Sorry for once more but: you can make incremental backups every x minutes with Bacula too .. it only takes one or two minutes on my box to scan for changed files for ~150GB (even faster if you tweak it a bit). It's not really a true continuous backup solution, but it's perfectly possible to restore directories/files for changes which occurred x minutes ago, and with retention periods of x days/months/years.

In my situation this takes about 5 minutes for approximately 100GB of data. The time it takes will obviously depend on the rate of change in the data. You could also use local snapshots with mksnap_ffs(8), to solve the oh shit I deleted my files situation.

small question about GEOM and dedicated disk
Hello list, I just bought a new disk to make my backups (with Bacula). As this disk will be used by FreeBSD only I'd like to use the dedicated mode (no bootable). So far I used to do something like: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=1k count=1 # newfs -L foo -U /dev/ad1 # mount /dev/ufs/foo /foo It seems to work like a charm. However, in the handbook (section 18.3.2.2) the procedure is a bit longer : # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=1k count=1 # bsdlabel -Bw da1 auto # bsdlabel -e da1 # newfs /dev/da1e # mkdir -p /1 # vi /etc/fstab # mount /1 Some questions: - - Is it mandatory to create at least one partition (e in this case) ? - Is it normal that there are no slices in this example ? Is it common to create a partition without any slice in the dedicated mode ? - What are the differences between my method and the one in the handbook ? in advance thanks, Julien ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot use fdisk slices/partitions with disks over 2TB. For those GPT should be used.

Re: Large filesystems help/ideas
If you only have FreeBSD installed on the box or if you don't need slices/partitions you can just do newfs /dev/xxx (dedicate). vinum should not be used on 6.x and above, gvinum (GEOM + vinum) replaced it but I'm not sure if it's still actively supported/developped .. (?) Also, take a look at gconcat and unionfs.

The next limit that comes in, though, is with the BSD disklabel... I understand that I could have up to 8 slices of 2 Tb, with partitions (disklabel ones) inside each slice with up to 2Tb. Is that correct? What do you think about using this scheme and then join all them with vinum on a software raid-0 array? Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Re: major CD errors when installing 7.0 (only 7.0)!
I have this problem too ... the only solution I've found is to disable DMA (hw.ata.atapi_dma). It partially resolve the problem, but it's still impossible to burn and performance are very poor (~ 2MB/s), etc ... On Tue, 2008-05-13 at 22:30 -0400, Joachim Rosenfeld wrote: I decided to upgrade my PC at home to FreeBSD 7.0, I've been running it at work and on my work laptop with no problems. But when I installed via the 7.0 disk 1, I received CD errors when I got to the point where it started copying the base distribution off the disk. When I booted off the same CD again, I saw something similar to the following: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=... ascq=... At first I assumed that it was my CD ROM drive (which has never given any problems) or a bad CD, so I burned a FreeBSD 7.0 LiveDisk and tried that, same thing. I burned 7.0-bootonly from a different machine, and I got the same problem. The odd thing is that my 6.1 and 6.3 bootdisks don't have this error on startup (I confirmed that it is an issue on 7.0 by burning a brand new 6.3 disk and was able to install successfully). Clearly 7.0 causes something to barf on my CDROM drive. A web search for this error shows various people have had this problem on 4.6, 5.3, etc. Can anyone help?

Intel SRCZCR Raid
Hello list, I have a motherboard with an Intel SRCZCR chipset. It works fine with the iir driver, but I wondered how could I check the status of the card/disks as Storcon is not available for FreeBSD 4.x (I run 7.0) ?

Hello,
How do I chmod separately files and directories?
If I use chmod -R 644 then it will go through all the subdirectories
assigning everything 644 permissions, directories including.
Many thanks!

Re: FreeBSD 7.0 - should I be using gvinum or gmirror/gstripe?
I would use gmirror + gstripe ... I'm not sure if gvinum is still actively developped .. (?)

Does anyone have any links to resources (or just personal opinion) that provides guidelines for choosing between the two methods?
