Re: VirtualBox: out of swap space

Hi,
I'm trying to have a few BSD VMs (4.7, 5.5, 6.2, 7.2, 8.1)
running under VirtualBox-OSE / FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64
First problem:
Sometimes, when I start a VM, all other running VM stop,
their status switch to 'abort' (or whatever the
traduction is, here it's avorté).
Reading my /var/log/messages, I see a few
'pid (VirtualBox), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space'
I've got 8Gb of RAM, and so assumed I wouldn't need any swap.
Was I wrong?
Have I to reinstall my server to add some swap?
(and if so, how much?!)
Samuel,
It is generally a bad idea not to have a swap partition. I have 12GB
of memory and I even hit swap, though very little.
[tethys]:/home/rnejdl swapinfo -h
Device 1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/ada0s1b 4194304 4.5M 4.0G 0%
I have 4GB on mine and that is plenty.
I don't have answers for the below though.
Sincerely,
Rusty Nejdl
btw, my PC (home) have the same HWare (core i7 930, 8Gb DDR3)
I can run two 8.1-RELEASE (amd64 + i386), and two debian
while host is running compiz and all that gay stuff...
(ArchLinux x86_64)
except VirtualBox, the server I'm having problems with, is
hosting some nfs shares and running ion2 (since VBoxVNC
segfaults... I need a WM). And that's it.
Second problem:
When I'm creating a disk (in VirtualBox), and while there's
some scp or so running on other guests, these guests display
some gvfs errors, about not finding ad0.
Sometimes, they just halt, and wait I pressed a key to reboot.
Third problem:
I already posted that on emulation this morning:
I can't boot FreeBSD-8.1-amd64. It's stuck in
'md0: preloaded image /boot/mfsroot x bytes 0xsomewhere'
nothing else happend...
I could have finished already if I just had installed a Linux
host in the first place...
I read so much posts recently, from FreeBSD/VBox users, saying
everything's working just fine.
I assumed it would be OK.
Obviously not...
Is there some hope sticking with BSD?
(if I can get rid of the swap and the 8.1 problems, it would
be fine enough)
I'm seriously thinking on dropping that BSD idea, and choosing
some random linux to make it work... (and maybe, try xen...)
What should I do?
Thanks for any advices.

Then I pkg_add'ed xorg and KDE4, this was painless too. I am very disappointed with my experience problem # 1 The problem is KDE4 is not able to display anti aliased fonts. I have made the required changes to make it work, of course, in System Settings - Appearance - Fonts Hinting - Full, and there is is one more option, the name i cannot recall ATM, I have set it to RGB. DPI to 96..this is has worked for all combination of installs I have used so far, viz KDE3 on FreeBSD-6.x to KDE4.1.x on FreeBSD-7.x and KDE4.2 on FreeBSD-8.0RC1 problem # 2 I observed that both FreeBSD8.0-RC1 and FreeBSD8.0-RC2, simply freeze due to no reason. The pain is I don't get a core dump. When it freezes the only option is to hard boot by reseting the power. This might need more information to guess the cause. I will give basic info. This is Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop, with Intel Core2. My suspect mostly goes to wpi driver, no proof, just my gut feeling. problem # 3 starting with 8.0 wpi driver no longer is the interface, wlanX is to be created. this is not news, but every time I manually create the wlan0 interface and spawn wpa_supplicant. This shuould be automatic, as I have followed the guidelines of rc.conf(5). I can provide output of rc_debug=YES if someone is willing. How can i install all files under /etc from the source ? Masoom Shaikh Regarding #2, I suggest disabling ACPI. I also had system freezes happen on my computer until I did this but this has always been an ongoing issue with my system and I lose nothing by turning it off. Sincerely, Rusty Nejdl http://networking.ringofsaturn.com [3] how do we disable acpi ? is it hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot ? if it is I guess I shud set it to 1 in loader.conf, it still remains 0 You can disable APIC support with hint.apic.0.disabled=1 in loader.conf. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html Sincerely, Rusty Nejdl http://networking.ringofsaturn.com Links: -- [1] mailto:rne...@ringofsaturn.com [2] mailto:masoom.sha...@gmail.com [3] http://networking.ringofsaturn.com ___ 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: nmbd core dumps
I've tried the following versions of samba: samba-2.2.4_1.tgz samba-2.2.6.p2_1.tgz samba-2.2.7a.tar.gz samba-2.2.7a.tbz samba-3.0a19.tgz samba-3.0a20.tbz All produce the same results. I'm looking to see if there's just something I changed on the way to installing my box that would cause this.

Re: nmbd core dumps
Stacey, Okay, got it. Would you belive that portsentry caused nmbd to core dump when it runs?
