Re: FreeBSD slices and the Boot Manager
Why wouldn't you simply update your 8.1 to 8.4? 2013/7/27 Conny Andersson atar...@telia.com Hi, I have a workstation with two factory installed hard disks. The first disk, ada0, is occupied by a Windows 7 Pro OS (mainly kept for the three year warranty of the workstation as Dell techs mostly speak the Microsoft language). Instead I have configured the BIOS to boot from the MBR on the second disk as I most of the time (99%) use FreeBSD. The MBR on ada1 was installed with sysinstall's option Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager, when I installed the FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE. (The latest BIOS version 2.4.0 for Dell T1500 does not support UEFI/GPT/GUID.) The second disk ada1, now has three FreeBSD slices: 1) ada1s1 with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE 2) ada1s2 with FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE 3) ada1s3 with FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE I want to install the new FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE on ada1s1 by overwriting the now existing two first slices. This means that ada1s3, must become ada1s2 instead. Is this possible to do? A very important question is if sysinstall's option Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager detects that I have a FreeBSD 8.3 and detect it as slice 2 on disk 1? So it becomes a boot option when I am rebooting? (Maybe the slice may come up as ad6s2, because AHCI in FreeBSD 8.4 isn't enabled at the time of the install.) If the answer to these questions is yes, then the next two questions arise. Can I mount ada1s2a (FreeBSD 8.3) from the newly installed FreeBSD 8.4 and edit my FreeBSD's 8.3-R /etc/fstab according to the new disk layout, and occasionally run FreeBSD 8.3 without problems? Or do I have to do more to get it to work? The idea behind this kind of 'reverse' disk layout of mine is to have FreeBSD 8.4 as my new default OS. And have FreeBSD 8.3 untouched for configuring FreeBSD 8.4 and booting into it when ever needed. If I can do this as described above, I will have plenty of space on the disk for the future and a new FreeBSD release.

Re: Any arp table size limitations?
Thank you Lowell, Yes, that's an Internet exchange point.

So I'd like to ask if there is any arp table size limitations and if so, how we can increase the limit? I looked at the code and there don't seem to be any arbitrary limits. The code isn't optimized for really large numbers of entries, but 600 isn't what I'd consider large in this context. I ran a simple shell script and had no problems entering many thousands of static ARP entries, so my interpretation from reading the code isn't horribly wrong. I think you need to find out what kind of problems they ran into at 600 entries. As a (maybe-irrelevant) side point, I don't know what you mean by IXP, since in my background the term means Internet eXchange Point, and isn't likely to get anywhere close to 600 ARP entries on a single subnet. -- AP ___ 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

Gnome and sound
Hello, everybody! I'm using FreeBSD 9.0 with Gnome. I have been trying to control my soundcard via gnome-volume-control for two days and still without much success. Soundcard itself works great, the main problem is I can't change default output via gui. That is every time I want to switch between headphones and speakers, I have to run sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=X from console, where X - is the number of needed output. Gnome-volume-control doesn't see devices in hardware tab and choosing the right output in output tab has no effect. Another problem is that I don't know where to start search for solution from.

Sorry, I fail to see how this is any better than two independent DNS servers. Perhaps a variant like DNS C, forward to DNS A DNS D, forward to DNS A would be close to the goal of cache consolidation. DNS A suffers an outage ; you're fucked, to put it bluntly. BIND can be configured to deal with such troubles. But still Victor's idea isn't very good. First of all because response time increasing in case of using forwarders. Victor, we researched this topic and learned that response time highly depends on distance between user and resolver, while cache influence on this value is lesser. So I advice you to keep all as is. Matthew Seaman wrote: If you want to consolidate caches then probably your best bet is to have fewer, but larger resolvers. A pretty standard server class machine dedicated to recursive DNS should be easily capable of supporting many thousands of clients. You are certainly right. DNS is not really a fruitful target for reducing traffic volume -- there really isn't that much of it compared to all other types in any case. It's also pretty critical to the perceived performance of your networks. Complicating and slowing down the DNS lookup path just makes everything look slow. I just wanted the servers to benefit from each other's caches. That could speed up the lookups. On a side note, have you considered unbound ?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply!
I took your advice and removed that line from resolv.conf and added
it into /etc/named/named.conf
Now it looks like this
// RFC 1912
zone localhost{ type master; file master/localhost-forward.db;
};
zone 127.in-addr.arpa { type master; file master/localhost-reverse.db;
};
zone 255.in-addr.arpa { type master; file master/empty.db; };
zone 192.in-addr.arpa { type master; file
master/summitjnhome-reverse.db; };
Robert said that you should replace 192.in-addr.arpa with
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa in your named.conf.
Your named.conf should be look like the following:
zone localhost{ type master; file master/localhost-forward.db;
};
zone 127.in-addr.arpa { type master; file master/localhost-reverse.db;
};
zone 255.in-addr.arpa { type master; file master/empty.db; };
zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa { type master; file
master/summitjnhome-reverse.db; };
And I did a restart of both network and named but the issue remains:

Hello,
I am attempting to setup reverse dns in bind 9 under freebsd... this is
in an attempt to allow mysql to work a little easier with DNS

In my /etc/named/named.conf file I have the following:
// RFC 1912

My master/summitnjhome.com looks like the following:
For starters, this should be in master/summitnjhome-reerse.db

39 PTR virtcent17.summitnjhome.com.

and my /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:
domain summitnjhome.com
nameserver 192.168.1.44
nameserver 4.2.2.2
zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa { type master; file
/etc/named/master/summitnjhome-reverse.db
};
the 'zone' line you show should *NOT* be in resolv.conf at all.
this line should be in the named.conf file *instead* of the one for
the '192.in-addr.arpa' zone.
then I restart both named and the network service
and yet if I were to try forward resolution:
LBSD2# host sum1
sum1.summitnjhome.com is an alias for LCENT01.summitnjhome.com.
LCENT01.summitnjhome.com has address 192.168.1.42
and then reverse resolution:
LBSD2# host 192.168.1.42
Host 42.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I have no luck. Any thoughts on this?
see above.

find . -type f gt; a.txt
B directory:
cat ../a.txt | while read file; do if [[ $file = */* ]]; then mkdir -p
${file%/*}; fi; touch $file; done
so if something goes wrong, there would be no trouble

unsure

year

I tried to boot /boot/loader.old, tried to boot from other hdd (there is a mirror) - in all cases I see the same picture. Where I should look to find a source of troubles? ___ 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
