Oh, and you can use the nolock mount option to avoid use of
rpc.lockd and rpc.statd.


based on the mount_nfs man page, as well as trying it just in case, this 
option no longer appears to be availalble in the 7.x nfs code ... :(

nfs error: No route to host when starting apache ...

2011-04-01 Thread Marc G. Fournier


I just setup an nfs mount between two servers ...

ServerA, nfsd on 192.168.1.8
ServerB, nfs client on 192.168.1.7

I have a jail, ServerC, running on 192.168.1.7 ... most operations appear 
to work, but it looks like 'special files' of a sort aren't working, for 
when I try and startup Apache, I get:


[Fri Apr 01 19:42:02 2011] [emerg] (65)No route to host: couldn't grab the 
accept mutex


When I try and do a 'newaliases', I get:

# newaliases
postalias: fatal: lock /etc/aliases.db: No route to host

Yet, for instance, both MySQL and PostgreSQL are running without any 
issues ...


So, the mount is there, it is readable, it is working ... I can ssh into 
the jail, I can create files, etc ...


I do have rpc.lockd and rpc.statd running on both client / server sides 
...


I'm not seeing anything in eithr the man page for mount_nfs *or* nfsd that 
might account / corect for something like this, but since I'm not sure 
what this is exactly, not sure exactl what I should be looking for :(


Note that this behaviour happens at the *physical* server level as well, 
having tested with using postalias to generate the same 'lock' issue above 
...


Now, I do have mountd/nfsd started iwth the -h to bind them to 192.168.1.8 
... *but*, the servers themselves, although on same switch do have 
different default gateways ... I'm not seeing anything within the man page 
for, say, rpc.statd/rpc.lockd that allows me to bind it to the 
192.168.1.0/24 IP, so is it binding to my public IP instead of my private? 
So nfsd / mount_nfs can talk find, as they go thorugh 192.168.1.0/24 as 
desired, but rpc.statd/rpc.lockd are the public IPs and not able to talk 
to each other?

Re: nfs error: No route to host when starting apache ...

2011-04-01 Thread Marc G. Fournier


I've succeedig in getting a bit further ... by the time I got to the 
bottom of my original, I started to think in terms of rpc more, and had 
overlooked lookign at thte rpcbind man page, which *does* have a -h option 
... setting that fixes things perfectly *almost* ...


The last issue I seem to be  hitting *might* be a 6.x NFS client against a 
7.x server issue ... ?


Postfix generates:

postfix/showq[65261]: fatal: select lock: Permission denied

The only post I found about this was:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-April/215284.html

But there didn't appear to be any responses ... so either all responses 
were private to Robert, or ... ?


This is my last 6.x box, so it is not overly critical, but would be nice 
if I could get it to work properly ...

fsync: Linux vs FreeBSD

2010-10-26 Thread Marc G. Fournier


Someone recently posted on one of the PostgreSQL Blogs concerning fsync on 
Linux/Windows/Mac OS X, but failed to make any comments on any of the BSDs 
... the post has to do with how fsync works on the various OSs, and am 
curious as to whether or not this is something that also afflicts us:


http://rhaas.blogspot.com/2010/10/wal-reliability.html

From reading our man page, I see no warnings similar to what the other OSs 

have, specifically:

Mac OS X: For applications that require tighter guarantees about the
  integrity of their data, Mac OS X provides the F_FULLFSYNC fcntl

Linux: If the underlying hard disk has write caching enabled, then the
   data may not really be on permanent storage when fsync() /
   fdatasync() return.

So, do we hide the fact, or are, in fact, not afflicted by this?

Thanks ...

I remember the days when I was using Linux with http://counter.li.org/

of having a counter for my (Free)BSD box :) Why don't bsdstat support 
registration?


one of the critical requirements that alot of ppl out there had at the 
start was anonymity ... not so much that they weren't proud to run *BSD, 
but for safety ... there is nothing in the database that can be traced 
back to the source, nor that can be spammed ...


Also, easy of use was a big factor ... registration is just yet another 
step that ppl (myself included) generally just don't bother with ... it 
really doesn't give you much, and discourages alot of ppl from doing it 
...


... and, in the case of PCBSD, would make it harder to have it 
auto-enabled, since it couldn't be enabled without the end user 
registering first, which most wouldn't do ...

BSDStats: Status Report

2010-05-25 Thread Marc G. Fournier


News:

Its been almost three weeks since we fixed a bug with the stats collector 
that was causing alot of reportings to get lumped under 'Panama', and our 
numbers are back up (or above) where they were before we effectively 
re-set the statistics.


At the suggestion of one person, we have setup an internal mailing list 
that can be used for bug reports / future developments, so that we do not 
have to deal with a whole bunch of different mailing lists.


To subscribe, please send an email to:

general-subscr...@bsdstats.org

In order to reduce the potential for spam, this is a closed list ... you 
have to be subscribed to post to it ...

Status:

As of this posting, we are getting reports in from all the *BSD variants:

  PCBSD  4 872
  FreeBSD1 627
  DesktopBSD   154
  NetBSD43

BSDStats: Project Status on May 13th, 2010

2010-05-13 Thread Marc G. Fournier


Status:

  Over the past two weeks, there has been alot of work performed on the 
backend, including fixing a few bugs that were recently reported.


  As a result of using HAProxy to load balance and help ensure uptime for 
reporting clients, someone recently reported that although their sent in 
their report, their country wasn't going up in the 'Countries' states.


  This bug has been fixed (HAProxy was reporting Proxy IP vs Client IP) 
and we reset the stats period to 1st of May, causing a sharp drop in #s 
that has slowly been climbing back up again.


  The result of the change is that now Panama isn't the largest 
distribution of PC-BSD anymore, but the USofA is back in that lead, with 
Russia quickly following.


Stats Summary:

As of May 13th, 2010 (based on reporting ~2 weeks of reporting period 
since fix) , the project has 3 733 hosts that have reported in, broken 
down as follows:


 PC-BSD2 357 hosts
 FreeBSD   1 243 hosts
 DesktopBSD   78 hosts
 NetBSD   34 hosts
 OpenBSD  12 hosts
 DragonFly 9 hosts
 MirBSD0 hosts
 MidnightBSD   0 hosts
 GNU/kFreeBSD  0 hosts

We currently have hosts being reported in from 88 countries, with the top 
10 being:


 United States 752
 Panama332
 Russian Federation332
 Australia 271
 Germany   204
 Ukraine   173
 Japan 121
 Canada101
 Brazil 89
 United Kingdom 89

Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org

Project Objective:

The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy 
and marketing of the *BSD operating systems.


PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to 
enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually.


For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats 
to set things up.


There is now a man page / document that has been created, that contains 
a full description of the project, as well as the steps we take to 
ensure the anonymity of those reporting while maintaining the 
individuality of the reporting machines.  This can be found at:


http://www.bsdstats.org/bsdstats-8.html

Project Uptime:

In the beginning, there were issues with accessibility of the servers, due 
to only having one reporting server.  We have since moved to a distributed 
cluster using HAProxy to load balance between two physical servers, with a 
third one coming online soon.  http://www.bsdstats.org isn't running on 
this new cluster yet, but work is underway to get that moved over as well, 
which we hope to have accomplished over the next couple of days.


If you have any questions, please feel free to email me ...

Re: BSDstats website displaying data incorrectly

2010-05-09 Thread Marc G. Fournier


Just to elaborate on the issue ... it looks like both of those pages are 
using different QUERIES to the database ... in the former, it is using a 
system view that I was able to update after we fixed the issue with 
country reporting, such that it doesn't show records older then that date 
... the latter page is pulling the data via a different method (which 
Bobby is looking into) so that its actually pulling in older date (ie. a 
two months average vs just the past 10 days or so) ...


Both are accurate, just different time periods ...

I made the correction on the development site and did not have any issues.  In 
fact, I still don't have problems with it at all.  On the live site, though, 
there's something amiss with the way the template system is interacting with 
the database.  So, I'm trying to track down the problem.

Here are my temporary hurdles, I'm still wading through the template system.  
The more familiar I get with the layout of that, the faster things seem to go.  
And I usually get an hour or so a day to work with it.  But, I am plugging away 
at it.

I'll post an update when I isolate the erroneous problems.  Thanks for the 
heads up!

Re: Addition to BSDstats

2010-05-07 Thread Marc G. Fournier


I was just thinking about it, and one point that I don't know if I've ever 
made (or haven't made in awhile) is that BSDStats looks at who is *using* 
a *BSD variant, not who *was* ... it relies on being run *at least* once a 
month for a server to be counted ... if you run it once and never run it 
again, you only count for that *period*, but fall off the radar relatively 
quickly.


Basically, if someone installed FreeBSD 2 years ago, installed the port 
and then switched to Linux a year later, even though they are still listed 
in the system, they are not part of the 'current' states, as they are no 
longer reporting ...


That is why the initial install puts it into 
/usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly, so that it hopefully gets run *at least* 
at the beginning of each month ... it can be run more often over the 
month, it will still count as *1* install, but it needs to be run *at 
least* once a month for a machine to continue to be counted ...

I think everyone agrees that bsdstats needs more visibility right from
the virgin install. Since its not appropriate to include bsdstats in the
sysinstall program. How about getting the RELEASE team to change the
content of the default logon message of the day /etc/motd, to advocacy
installing the bsdstats package. What do you think about this idea?

As part of the installation process, offer to add a crontab

The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not 
required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in 
/etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of 
the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to 
both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ...


The latter two are doable, but havin to do a pkg_add seems to be the part 
that is being frowned on ...

Since we're on the topic, and in light of Fbsd1's recent adventure... 
Panama seems awfully high in the country stats. I understand what you

really in Panama and don't know? It also seems odd that I, 
personally, as a home user, should be responsible for about 3% of the 
bsdstats-reporting FreeBSD machines in the US. (3 hosts out of 101)


You will see those numbers dropping over the course of the month ... if 
ppl out there are reading this and wish to help 'fix the numbers', just 
run:


/usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics -nodelay

to update their records with the right country vs Panama, and you'll see 
it change quickly ... you'll even notice that the overall numbers right 
now are quick low, as I narrowed down the view to just 'so far this 
month' to help bring down the Panama skew, so there is no overlap right 
now with last month ...


The PC-BSD #s are the ones that really skew'd those numbers up though, 
since theirs is auto-installed and always up to date, so unlike alot of 
FBSD users that have old versions installed pointing directly to the 
physical server, the PC-BSD ones were pointing to the load balancer ... 
DNS will have to catch up for them

Why is this? I would think both should show the same value, or you 
better add explanation to the web page why the count is different.


As was explained earlier, normal operation looks at the past couple of 
months, to deal with cases, where, for instance, someone has it set to 
only report on reboot, but not monthly ... due to the countries issue that 
you pointed out, I made a slight change while things restabilize so that 
it is only showing this month's stats ... I will expand it again as the 
old data for countries fades away ...


The descrepancy above is due to the sub-OS pages not using the same DB 
query as the upper one, and as I didn't do the web front end, and the 
person who did is no longer around, I have to figure out *how* the code he 
wrote works, especially for those sub pages (template system, as there is 
no /bt/ file system *on* the server ...


As to the rest ... especially the comments about the web site itself ... 
feel like stepping into the breach on that one?  I have no creative talent 
for doing a web page, which is why I recruited someone way back when ...

I wouldn't want to add an option to sysinstall for this unless bsdstats

Since it is just a script that was designed specifically so that it

be dump'd into /etc/periodic/monthly without any issues ...


But, if it were ... unlike PC-BSD, it would have to be opt-in, not opt-out

6-STABLE + quagga/zebra == Can't bind to stream socket

2010-05-04 Thread Marc G. Fournier


In order to deal with a lack of layer 3 switch, last week I installed 
Quagga/OSPF on all of my servers, and got it configured.  Works *great* on 
my 7.x servers, but, using the same config (and port), my 6-STABLE boxes 
all generate the same error when I try and start up zebra:


2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: Can't bind to stream socket: Can't assign
requested address
2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: zebra can't provice full functionality due to
above error
2010/05/01 01:44:18 ZEBRA: Zebra 0.99.15 starting: v...@2601

So ospfd isn't able to announce / receive routes ...

My zebra.conf file looks like:

!
interface em0
 no shutdown
 ip address 200.46.204.60/24
!
interface em1
!
interface lo0
!
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 200.46.208.1
!
ip forwarding
!
line vty

The top bit of ifconfig shows:

ifconfig em0 | less
em0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING

inet 200.46.204.183 netmask 0x broadcast 200.46.204.183


Other then appropriate interface/IP on the 7-STABLE boxes, the 7-STABLE
boxes all work fine ... is there an issue with em/fxp devices and zebra on
6-STABLE/i386? Or am I overlooking something in my config?

2010-05-04 Thread Marc G. Fournier


The backend to bsdstats.org is load balanced behind an haproxy backend, 
with only the IP of haproxy being passed back into it ... one of the key 
issues that was brought up from day one was security and anonymity(sp?) of 
those submitting, and we've taken that *very* seriously ... other then the 
tokens that are passed back to present individual systems, we do not 
record anything (or see anything) about the reporting servers ...

Marc, et-al,

I wasn't originally going to post this to the list, but I thought that
it would be useful to do so in order to try to solicit feedback.

There's a suggestion that I have for the server-side of bsdstats. I
would find it very useful if the server could track the % of the
reporting connections that come in over IPv6, and include that on the
website front page.

Of course, this would require that rpt.bsdstats.org reside on a reliable
IPv6 network, and code changes to the server-side software. (if the code
is Perl, I'll gladly take a look at it ;)

I'm not interested in the actual addresses of the sending hosts, just
whether the address contains a '.' or ':'.

Cheers,

Steve

I am a retired American who is now living in the Philippines. All during

on my single system. Yesterday I checked the http://bsdstats.org website 
by country and to my great surprise there are no Freebsd systems listed 
in the Philippines. Also the previous months reports are no longer shown 
on the website and the port stats don't show at all. This is not the 
results talked about on this list when the bsdstats project was trying 
to get Freebsd participation 3 years ago.


Most odd ... what is in your /var/db/bsdstats file ... ?  I've had no 
reports of problems in many months now ...



What good is participation if there are no real-time results.


The results are realtime ... generated directly out of the database ...


I removed bsdstats from my system and the port should be removed from the 
ports system.
I also emailed Marc G. Fournier scra...@hub.org the author and never 
received a reply. That is the best sign that bsdstats is dead.


Huh?  I don't recall any emails about issues that I've not answered :(

#47  	PH Philippines	 	 	1	 	 	 	2 
3


Even on the FreeBSD specific screen:

#55 PH Philippines  1   0.03 %

If you can send me the output of /var/db/bsdstats though,I can confirm 
that it is, in fact, your host that reported ...

 Hello,

 I've had a problem with one of my FreeBSD servers, the machine has stopped
 its network services and then sent these messages:

 -Mar 27 13:00:03 anubis dhcpd: send_packet: No buffer space available
 -Mar 27 13:00:26 anubis routed[431]: Send bcast sendto(em0,

 The messages were repeated a lot of times before a temporary solution. I've
 changed the kernel(FreeBSD 6.2) to an older one(FreeBSD 6.1) and since then
 it's been working well. What happened?

 P.S.: I can give more informations if necessary.

xorg 7.4: button fonts unreadable ...

2009-02-09 Thread Marc G. Fournier


Have searched Google, but haven't been able to find anything that either 
worked, or was relevant ... I just cleaned out and reinstalled all of my 
ports ... when I load up an xterm (the one I'm working in right now), all 
the text in it is fine and readable ... but, the top of the xterm, where 
it has the 'xterm icon' and some writing to the right of it, the writing 
is unreadable ...


If I load up firefox3, the web pages are viewable and readable, but stuff 
like the location bar are unreadable (I have to hope I type without making 
a mistake) ...


I'm not sure what to look at ... have checked the output from starting X, 
and not seeing anything font related ...


Help?

Basically, the xorg hackers decided to improve your user experience by
lobotomizing the fonts - I modified xterm to recover from that by falling
back to fixed (I'm unsure why they left that intact).

However, window titles are owned by your window manager.

Best advice is to locate the misc fonts (or whatever it's called in
FreeBSD) and install those.  That'll work until the next improvement to
the X server's font handling.

xorg 7-current ( kde || nvidia driver ) == desktop crash

Okay, I've exhausted every google search I can think of, and not getting 
anywhere, so now to ask ...


Just upgraded my motherboard / CPU (old one fried out) ... picked up an ASUS 
P5Q with a Quad Core Intel CPU ... everything boots / runs fine, until I try 
and start up X ...


If I use the 'nv' driver in my X conig file, and the twm window manager, 
everything starts up fine, I can load Firefox, etc, etc ...


As soon as I switch from nv - nvidia and start, the screen goes blank and the 
machine reboots ...


If I switch from nvidia - nv and use '/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde', the 
screen goes blank, and the machine reboots ...


I just installed icewm, and using that, everything loads up fine too ...

So, I figure there is something that I'm either missing in my install, or that 
I've configured wrong that kde is trying to use, but I'm at a lose as to what 
...


Can anyone help?

Re: Load balancing multiple virtual hosts on 1 IP

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Thank you for all the responses ... turns out the solution was simplier ... I 
tried the various solutions presented, and each of them did the same thing ...

The setup I have, I'm using csync2 to maintain the file systems on each 
backend, and in order to simplify that, I'm using:

VirtualHost *:80

instead of

VirtualHost IP:80

which works fine ... *but*, something gets confused when you mix-n-match the 
above ... its either all of one or the other, but not both ... once I fixed my 
config files, the pages now load consistently ...

Thank you all for the help on this, the pointers to the other software(s) 
provided proof that it wasn't the software, but my configuration ...

 Simple: is it possible?

 I have two VMs that contain the same content, on two different IPs .. I

 ...

 So far, all works well if I only have one virtual host, but as soon as I
 add a second one (http://domain2), when I try to go to http://domain2,
 it pulls up the content for domain1 also, as if I was going to http://IP
 instead.

 Is there a way to set this up (with haproxy, or some other software),
 that it will actually pass the URL through to the backend apache server
 and load up the right content?  Or is this a limitation in the protocol
 itself?/

 This is certainly possible -- most of the world's big web sites work in
 exactly this way, although they would tend to use dedicated hardware LB
 if they were of any appreciable size.

 I think what's going wrong for you is that you are using a front-end proxy,
 and it's rewriting the requests with the host names of the real servers,
 which will certainly screw up name based virtual hosts.

 Instead of ha-proxy, look into relayd -- in conjunction with a pf(4)
 firewall this will do exactly what you want.  It can operate purely at the
 IP level or even at layer 2 if you want to implement DSR.  Another
 alternative to consider is varnish, although I'm not sure that has much
 in the way of health-checking the back-end servers behind it.  varnish
 is a reverse-proxy / web accelerator so can give you some performance
 boost as well.

   Cheers,

Load balancing multiple virtual hosts on 1 IP

2009-01-31 Thread Marc G. Fournier


Simple: is it possible?

I have two VMs that contain the same content, on two different IPs .. I 
want to setup a third VM with something like haproxy on it that will take 
the URL (http://domain1) and pull the content from one or the other ...


So far, all works well if I only have one virtual host, but as soon as I 
add a second one (http://domain2), when I try to go to http://domain2, it 
pulls up the content for domain1 also, as if I was going to http://IP 
instead.


Is there a way to set this up (with haproxy, or some other software), that 
it will actually pass the URL through to the backend apache server and 
load up the right content?  Or is this a limitation in the protocol 
itself?/


Thx

 I don't think there's anything automatic but you can grow the virtual
 disk, then modify the last partition size by hand, then use growfs.

'k, that is what I figured, but how do I grow the virtual disk? I've checked 
the qemu-img man page, and there doesn't appear to be a method of doing this ...

auto-addm new tap device to existing bridge ...

2008-11-22 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Is this possible?

I'm using qemu, and when I start it up, it auto-create a tap device if one 
isn't available ... but, having that tap device not attached to the bridge that 
does exist doesn't help much ... if there some flag I can set, or sysctl value, 
that will have the new tap device attach itself to an existing bridge device?

thanks ...

copying 'holey' files ...

I have a disk img for qemu that is 4G, but disk usage is only 650M ... due to 
how the image is created, it will grow to 4G, but only uses as much as it needs 
... but, if I run a simple 'cp' on the file, it goes from:

Is there a way of moving things around such that it *maintains* the holes, 
instead of fills them in?

 The qemu-img program using the convert command should do what you
 want it to.  I've used it to make copies of qcow-format disks without
 having them grow to their max-size.

BSDstats: New High Water Mark: 25 000+ Hosts Reporting In

2008-11-03 Thread Marc G. Fournier


As of November 3rd, 2008, the project has hit a new milestone of 25 000+ hosts 
reporting in, with a break down as follows:


  PC-BSD   17 454 hosts
  FreeBSD   5 526 hosts
  DesktopBSD1 919 hosts
  NetBSD   86 hosts
  MirBSD   21 hosts
  OpenBSD  55 hosts
  DragonFly26 hosts
  MidnightBSD  26 hosts
  GNU/kFreeBSD  2 hosts

We currently have hosts being reported in from 135 countries, with the top 10
being:

  United States   6 082
  Russian Federation  1 836
  Germany 1 586
  Australia   1 341
  Ukraine   997

Project Objective:

The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and

PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled,

For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set

If you aren't participating, we very much encourage you to start ... the report 
script is a shell script, so you can scan it to figure out what, exactly, is 
being sent in .. and there is only one level of reporting that is  required, 
and that is Operating System + Version ... Device and Ports reporting are 100% 
optional ...


For those that are participating ... once more, thank you ... and spread the
word, we need more ...

Its a voluntary reporting ... I know with both PC-BSD, reporting is on by 
default .. with FreeBSD, its a simple 'make install' in ports ... with 
NetBSD/OpenBSD, I suspect its purely manual, so a bit more work involved ...

Both NetBSD / OpenBSD #s have been increasing though, just not as fast as the 
others ...

 Aloha,

 I have 10 FreeBSD servers and desktops in use here in Hawaii.

 These are not on the list as I only have 4 servers that are up 24/7 and they
 are fire walled off with pf.

 The 6 others are on a lan behind a Linux Freesco Firewall. Only 2 on 24/7 the
 rest are on an as used boot up basis.

 How can I get them Listed?

Using FreeBSD as a reference point, the port, when it installs, allows you to 
enable two methods of reporting: monthly (out of periodic) and on reboot ... so 
that covers the 4 that aren't up 24/7 ...

Next, the reporting is not based on your IP ... in fact, to try and address 
security concerns, we do not store any information such as IP or hostname ... 
when you run the stats the first time, it generates a distinct key that is used 
for reporting and is stored on your host for future reporting to identify you 
...

Finally, for those dealing with firewalls, the script was written to make use 
of a PROXY server for reporting, so that no holes have to be opened up for an 
individual host to connect to the rver ...

Simple enough, has anyone been able to get either to run successfully in a jail?

BSDstats: May Statistics - 23 998 Hosts Reported In

2008-06-05 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



As of June 5th, 2008, the project is seeing 23 998 hosts reporting in, with a
break down as follows:

   PC-BSD   14 715 hosts
   FreeBSD   6 331 hosts
   DesktopBSD2 662 hosts
   NetBSD  108 hosts
   MirBSD   68 hosts
   OpenBSD  59 hosts
   DragonFly27 hosts
   MidnightBSD  22 hosts
   GNU/kFreeBSD  6 hosts

We currently have hosts being reported in from 121 countries, with the top 10 
being:

   United States   5 639
   Russian Federation  1 653
   Germany 1 489
   Australia   1 314
   Brazil  1 242
   Japan   1 004
   France823
   United Kingdom822
   Ukraine   790
   Canada747

Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org

Project Objective:

The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and
marketing of the *BSD operating systems.


PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled,
while the rest have to be enabled manually.

For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set
things up.

If you aren't participating, we very much encourage you to start ... the report
script is a shell script, so you can scan it to figure out what, exactly, is
being sent in .. and there is only one level of reporting that is  required,
and that is Operating System + Version ... Device and Ports reporting are 100%
optional ...

For those that are participating ... once more, thank you ... and spread the
word, we need more ...

Thanks to the folks at PC-BSD, we have a new PHP programmer that will be 
working with Antony Mawer towards cleaning up / finishing some of the 
outstanding areas of the web site, so expect to see some improvements in 
statistics reporting over the next few weeks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me ...

 Anyway, I am surprised at how fast PC-BSD is picking up.
 I know that during installation, it prompts the installer to enable
 the submission of stats. Could this explain why there are more PC-BSD
 that there are FreeBSD?
 For FreeBSD, the owner must know about the stats and configure them to
 be submitted.

That is why we're working on both improving the site itself (fixing issues with 
the sub-release areas), as well as trying to a more regular monthly notice up 
... I find a jump in stats each time I do so as more ppl find out about it ...

Report I did a few months back shows only 85 Countries reporting in, so 
although its just one host here and there, adding 40 new countries is cool ...

Start of a FreeBSD Setup Guide for AFS (Server and Client)

2008-02-14 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I've been meaning to get this started for awhile now, but time never is what
one would like it to be: endless.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/AFS_using_OpenAFS_%2B_Arla

Is a *very* basic start ... right now, its just a pointer to Arla (client) and
OpenAFS (server) ports for FreeBSD created by Alex Koss, and a link to some
NetBSD specific setup instructions.  I'm going to work on FreeBSD specific
ones, using that as a base, that will be on the Wiki itself ...

If anyone else does start working through the NetBSD instructions and wants to
submit stuff, just email me and I'll gladly add it .. kerberos, at least, is
something that I've *never* setup, so I'm starting from complete ground zero on
this ..

AFS ... or equivalent ...

2008-01-13 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi ...

  I recently started working for a company that is using AFS to mirror their 
data between various data centers, in the US, Asia and the EU ... the idea is 
that the several thousand servers that are being run have access to identical 
information ..

  Now, depressingly enough, it looks like OpenAFS works on everything *but* BSD 
... :(

IBM AFS for AIX, Version 3.6
IBM AFS for Digital Unix, Version 3.6
IBM AFS for HP-UX, Version 3.6
IBM AFS for Linux, Version 3.6
IBM AFS for SGI IRIX, Version 3.6
IBM AFS for Solaris, Version 3.6

  Does anyone know if there is any serious work being done to get AFS working 
under FreeBSD?  I have a large project that I'm working on that AFS (or 
something equivalent) would be *very* useful for, but we're trying to keep it 
as FreeBSD-pure as possible ...

  Thoughts?  Pointers?

[BSDStats] Slight change in summary reporting ...

2008-01-06 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I've just modified the code so that it reports on distinct hosts over the past 
60 days, vs just this past month ... for those that *may* have reported several 
times but have changed their OS (in theory, the only way that could happen is 
*if* they save/copy their /var/db/bsdstats file across a re-build, mind you), 
their last reported operating system is what will show up
...

This should make the statistics a bit more 'static', since we aren't reporting 
'from zero' at the start of each month ...

Talk about 'old email', but better then 'use different ports', which means you 
have to modify your clients for this ... after you install postgresql within 
the jail, vipw the password file and change the uid of the pgsql user (and 
chown the appropriate files) ... then you can run all instances on port 5432, 
which clients will expect, but without overrunning shared memory ...

 myself, have also seen the issue under Nagios 3.x, both on i386 systems
 though.

 I also have a net-mgmt/ndoutils port in the works (less the database support
 for now) which also has the same issue so using broker modules doesn't seem
 to affect the outcome.

 My gut feeling is that it's not an architecture issue but more an
 interoperability issue between the Nagios threading code and the libpthread()
 threading library.

As noted in my original report, this isn't a nagios issue per se ... my first 
experience with this issue was with Azureus/java ... so its a 'threading issue 
in general' ...

Nagios + 6.3-RELEASE == Hung Process

2008-01-01 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


G'day ...

  Yesterday, I setup nagios to do some system monitoring ... installed the 
latest version from ports into a jail, so that I could easily move it around 
between machines as I upgrade, without losing data ... after about 30 minutes 
running, I get a second nagios process running (fork?) that takes up ch CPU 
time as is available, and just hangs there until I kill -9 it ...

Figuring that it might be a problem with the jail (trying to access somethign 
that isn't available to the process in a jail), I moved it to the physical 
server level ... but, again, after ~30 minutes, its doing the same thing:

# ps aux | grep nagios
nagios  32065 73.2  0.1 10948  3516  ??  R11:15AM   7:40.77 
/usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
nagios  82120  0.0  0.1 10948  3580  ??  Ss   10:47AM   0:01.18 
/usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

So, definitely not jail related ...

I've tried to do a 'truss -p 32065', it just hangs.

And: ktrace -f /tmp/output -p 32065 ... produces nothing:

# kdump -f /tmp/output
 32065 nagios   PSIG  SIGKILL SIG_DFL

Once I kill -9 the process, a bunch of 'check_ping' processes start up and then 
things go back to normal ...

My last kernel / world build on that box is: Mon Nov 12 06:43:30 AST 2007

After searching the 'Net a bit, came across this thread:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bmode%5D=1tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=7694

That recommends modifying libmap.conf with:

[/usr/local/bin/nagios]
libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
libpthread.so libthr.so

This seems to fix the problem on the physical server, and am currently testing 
it in the jail itself to make sure it fixes it there too ...

Should this be something that is more prominently documented somewhere?  Maybe 
in the port itself?  azureus has similar problems that are fixed with entries 
in libmap.conf, so its not just a nagios issue ...

 seperate network stack for each jail...that's critical for a plethora of
 reasons. I'd be curious what sort of commitment (in $) that would require.

 I would like to see per-jail quotas such as the ones Andy mentions,

 Mark, what do you need to virtualize and what your requirements are?

As mentioned in my original, we provide VPS hosting, so we're virtualizating 
the whole virtual machine ...

 I think the question about virtualization is far too broad.
 For example, you mentioned quotas. I think you can bypass storage
 control problems, using seperate devices for each client filesystem.
 Just create n vnode md(4) devices for your n jails. This has another
 advantage besides partitioning storage. Since UFS supports sparse
 files, only used blocks will occupy storage space, thus you don't
 have to preallocate all storage.

Again, as mentioned in the original, the problem isn't quotaing the whole VPS, 
the problem is software (in this case, plesk) that seems to have a requirement 
to set a hard quota *within* the VPS itself, which isn't supported, currently, 
by jails ...

In the past, for quotaing 'the whole VPS', I had tried the whole md(4) device 
idea, but found that insufficent inodes were being created for to do much, and 
no matter what I tried with newfs, couldn't seem to get more to be created, as 
if, due to the small size of the device, a 'max ratio' was being hit ... but, 
this was way back on 4.x when I tried that ...

OSS Virtualization options ...

2007-12-19 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi ...

  Right now, I'm using jail to provide VPS solutions, but have found some 
situations where jail just doesn't work (recently, tried Plesk and due to it 
trying to 'set hard quota', found that jail+plesk doesn't work too well) ...

  So, I'm trying to figure out what is available out there that would allow 
running multiple FreeBSD (or other OS) environments on the same physical server 
...

  I just took a quick look at qemu, which appears easy enough to use, but my 
feel from a quick scan of:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/qemu/qemu.html

  is that running multiple networked images night not be particularly easy (or 
even doable) due to the bridging ... has anyone else tried this?  Is there 
something else that might prove a better solution?

Thank you ...

Plesk in a FreeBSD Jail: My Experiences

2007-12-06 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


First, thanks to all those that have provided some useful pointers on this ... 
I was finally able to get a working install in place using 8.2.1 ...

The main issue I found was that one of the components in the install seems to 
be calling in Apache 2.2, while Plesk uses Apache 2.0 ... so, somehow its able 
to get *both* installed at the same time, but when the installer goes to 
install the 'swsoft/psa' port, it fails because of a conflict ...

So, what I ended up doing is reducing the components to install to the 'bare 
minimal', and then manually added components from /usr/ports/swsoft afterwards 
...

Everything started up fine ... and *appears* to work ...

The one problem that I've not been able to figure out how to surmount is when 
you actually try and add a domain ... even if the client is set to have no 
limits on their resources (ie. disk space), adding a domain tries to set (or 
just check, not 100% certain there) the hardquota on the directory, which, in a 
jail, of course fails ...

With the error being:

ERROR: PleskFatalException 
Create ShortcutCreate Shortcut
Up LevelUp Level
Unable to get hardquota state: usermng failed: usermng: No entry found for path
/usr/local/www/vhosts in mounted

System error 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Has anyone else tried this in a jail and notice this and/or found a word 
around?  The .php file itself looks to be compiled php, so no way to just 
comment out code :(

 So, what's happening here?  Is it too early in December for some BSD
 varieties to report yet?  Whatever the answer, PC-BSD has hardly lost
 more than 2/3 of its users since November, so something is fishy here.

The above stats are the # of hosts that have reported in so far this month ... 
we get about 40% or so that report in on the 1st of each month, and the rest 
report in through the month to the end ...

If you look at:

  http://bsdstats.org/os_report.php

You can see what the totals were like at the end of last month, as well as how 
things compare against this month so far ...

We hope to have some trends graphs put up on the site shortly, to show a better 
idea of month-to-month ...

 The figure for PC-BSD in November was 6551.  When I checked earlier this
 evening, it was 1997.  I suppose this does NOT mean that 4554 PC-BSD

 systems have not YET reported to bsdstats in December.  I think this way
 of doing it does not serve the following purpose:

 The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for
 advocacy and marketing of the *BSD operating systems.

 For the fulfillment of this noble mission, it would be better to display
 statistics for the last complete month to casual visitors.  If people
 want to see running counters, this could be done on a different page.

Actually, what we should do is put a 'History' page off that main one that 
expands that chart to include the previous two or three months, as well as this 
one ... would be easier/faster to implement then a graph too ...

Antony?  Have a couple of minutes to whip that together?  Maybe do it similar 
to the countries page, but instead of listing countries, list month/year? 
maybe go back 6 months?

Anyone running Plesk ... ?

2007-12-02 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi ...

I run a web hosting company, and one of the most often asked question is 
whether we have a control panel, to which we generally say no ... recently, a 
new client signed up and looked to install Plesk on his VPS, but has been 
unable to get it to work ...

Being curious myself, I've downloaded both 8.2.1 and 8.1.1, and find that 
neither of them appear to install properly, but I can't seem to find any 
reasons *why* ... for instance, 8.1.1 just finished installing with:

Installation done.
Notice: make.conf was restored from previous autoinstaller's backup.

But there is no /usr/local/etc/rc.d/psa.sh to stop / start the server, and no 
psa-* related ports installed ... as if it installed all the dependencies, but 
not the components themselves ...

If I try and go into /usr/ports/swsoft/psa and do 'make install', it fails as 
the installer installed both apache2.0 and apache2.2, causing a conflict ...

I have tried both 8.2.1 and 8.1.1, and get the same results ...

One response I got on the -isp list was to pay Plesk to install it, so I 
figured I'd range out a bit onto -questions and see if anyone has been able to 
successfully install Plesk *without* deferring it to SWSoft themselves to do it 
... ?

 Hi there,

 My machine is FreeBSD 6.x currently. But Netcraft do not display of my

BSDstats Statistics for Aug, 2007 ...

2007-09-02 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Although I should send this out more often then I do, last month was a 
particularly good month, with *everyone* except for NetBSD going up in numbers 
...

First off all, for those that aren't aware:

The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and 
marketing of the *BSD operating systems.

Through interaction with several system administrators out there, from a 
security / anonymity perspective, we have tried to design things such that we 
save nothing in the database that could be used to compromise  your servers ... 
no hostname, no IP ...

The stats  have also been designed to allow for multiple reporting by the same 
host each month (ie. rebooting your desktop), so it doesn't have to be run just 
on the first of the month.

The web site, although it looks good, is incomplete at this time ... Anthony, 
our 'webmaster' has been a wee bit pre-occupied the past little while, but 
hopes to be able to dive back in again by the end of the month, and clean up 
some of the reports.

To date, we have the following *BSD distributions reporting in:

DesktopBSD
DragonFly
FreeBSD
GNU/kFreeBSD
MidnightBSD
MirBSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD
PC-BSD

PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled, 
while the rest have to be enabled manually.

For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set 
things up.

And that's the sales pitch ... over the past few months, we've broken the 
11,000k host mark ...

Since we don't have any 'trend reports' on the site yet, please feel free to 
visit http://bsdstats.org/os_report.php?lastmonth to see changes from July - 
August ...

But, overall for August:

 DesktopBSD+152.7%
 DragonFly +  5.3%
 FreeBSD   +  2.7%
 GNU/kFreeBSD  +150.0%
 MidnightBSD   +100.0%
 MirBSD+190.0%
 NetBSD-  5.5%
 OpenBSD   + 13.5%
 PC-BSD+  0.2%
   ===
   +  5.1%

If you aren't participating, we very much encourage you to start ... the report 
script is a shell script, so you can scan it to figure out what, exactly, is 
being sent in .. and there is only one level of reporting that is  required, 
and that is Operating System + Version ... Device and Ports reporting are 100% 
optional ...

For those that are participating ... once more, thank you ... and spread the 
word, we need more reporters :)

I just got multi-head X working on my machine without using xinerama (didn't 
like the way it looked, rather two distinct screens vs one big one) ... 
everything works great, but ... how do I get firefox onto the second screen? 
When I try and open it, it, of cource, tells me its already running (it is, on

Is this not possible, or am I missing something?

mulberry mail crashes when using PGP under AMD64 ... ?

Running latest -STABLE of FreeBSD on an 64bit Dual Core, mulberry mail seems to 
run okay until such a point in time as I try to PGP Sign/Encrypt an email and 
send it out, then it 'Seg Faults' ...


gpg appears to run fine from the command line, using gpg --list-keys ...

Anyone running Mulberry + 6-STABLE + AMD64 kernel successfully?

 Mark, that's a none problem being discussed on the mullberry lists right now.
 It's not just amd64.

Which list? :(  I'm on mulberry-discuss ...

Hopefully now that he's puttin gout the source code, we can get a FreeBSD

The funny thing is that I'm now running same version off of an i386 box (my old

 What was your dd commandline?  If you've got more than 1GB of RAM and

 FreeBSD buffer cache. According to

 really matter if your interface is running at SATA150 or SATA300 unless
 you plan on reading exclusively from its 8MB buffer :)

Does anyone know of a good mail reader that does:

  PGP, unicode *and* shows inline html

I'm tired of getting email from my family, for instance, that has inline images 
and having to look at each attachment seperately ... and have a friend that 
sends me email that has simplified chinese characters in it ... and others that 
send me PGP encrypted email ...

Mulberry is good, but doesn't do two of the three ... sylpheed does PGP and 
Unicode, but unless I'm missing a setting) doesn't do inline html ... and kmail 
doesn't do the unicode or inline images ...

So, is there anything that is good that actually does it all?

Wine users ... unite! (Wine, as in Windows Emulation, of course)

2007-06-27 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Over the past few weeks, a group of have been plugging away in relative 
obscurity to fix the world .. or, at least, the world as revolves around WINE. 
We have a few kernel hackers involved, some members of the wine group, some 
members of PC-BSD, and at least one DragonflyBSD developer ... a truly rounded 
group.

In order to avoid having this all mixed in, and lost, with other software 
discussions, the work is happening on a private list, but if anyone feels that 
they can contribute *programming knowledge* to the effort, email me and I'll 
add you to the list ... we aren't looking for testers on this list, see below 
about that ...

To the real reason for this post, we have been slowly making headway ...

If you go to:

   http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine

You will find several patches, both against FreeBSD and wine, that get the 
latest wine working under both 7.x and 6.x ... under 6.x, the only 'gotcha' is 
don't apply the signal patch yet, as it does break things ...

For testing, Tijl is running 7.x and I am running 6.x ... in my case, with all 
patches applied, except the signal patch, I can get Freecell running ... in his 
case, with all patches applied, he can get MT4 running (MT4 is an online 
financial trading piece of software) ...

For those that are interested in Wine, and are going to test the above patches, 
please subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by sending a message to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... it will also let us gauge how 
big/small the 'wine users'  population happens to be ...

 I wasn't aware there was such a big problem with Wine + FreeBSD - is it

 Lotus Notes R5 with wine from ports?

Very much so ... one of the biggest problems that we've been addressing is that 
FreeBSD's threading doesn't allow for cross process signally of threads ... we 
have a 'thr_kill()' function, but it only allows signalling a thread within the 
same process ...

Wine uses a two process model (not sure when they changed to it) where there is 
a 'master' (ie. NT kernel) with chid processes that get started up for the 
applications ... current FreeBSD model has no way for the master to signal the 
children ...

Tijl has created a patch for both FreeBSD and wine that adds a 'thr_kill2()' 
function that takes process id as an argument, allowing wineserver to talk to 
the application processes themselves ...

Now, I'm not 100% certain in which cases this is needed ... Tijl would be able 
to explain better ...

There are several other problems we've been able to address ... check out the 
URL I posted, Tijl explains what we've been able to accomplish so far ...

I tried uploading my xorg.conf from my working desktop, and changing Driver to

wine on freebsd ...

2007-06-02 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I'm trying to get wine to run an application under FreeBSD that I've been told 
works great using wine under Linux ... the more I'm trying to dig into this, 
the more stuck in mud I'm feeling ... the latest release of wine won't even run 
on FreeBSD without crashing ...

According to the Wine folks, its a problem in FreeBSD ... the problem is that 
I don't know enough about it to know if that's just a cop-out, or is Wine 
really too linux-y to run under FreeBSD?

One of the bug reports on their web site:

   http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5732

talks about:

This problem is caused by FreeBSD itself:
- - 2/2 GB memory split
- - Use of lover addresses for system libraries.

Neither of this is fixable in Wine.
Wine tries to reserve most of the lover 2GB with wine-preloader. But that
doesn't work if glibc  friends are already there.

I've tried to run this application with wine on both 6-STABLE and 7-CURRENT, 
and both seem to have the same issue, so it doesn't appear to be something with 
just 6.x ... I'm just not sure how to attack this one, when the app developer 
themselves are saying its an OS issue ...

 For /usr/ports I sync to just '.'  (dot).  Is that what I want?  (I want just
 'stable' ports, nothing bleeding edge).

 for /usr/src I sync to: RELENG_6

 But my question, is there a way to go though and say let's rebuild any port
 that is newer (via sync) then one I current have?

 For example, if I build and install application FooBar-1.0.0 from the
 /usr/ports and the next week FooBar-1.0.7 is there a way to say yea, let's
 rebuild this instead of manually building it?  Or at the very least, give me
 a list of changes on which applications need to be manually built.

Install /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade ...

NO_* options in /etc/make.conf ...

Is there a document that describes what is available, and what each one does?

As an example, I took a peak at the nanoBSD documentation, and they have one 
that is 'NO_BIND' listed ... does that mean nslookup won't work, or you just 
can't run a named server?
