scripting zfs send receive, but the script never exits cleanly
Hi all. Quick question for you. I've got a pair of freebsd 9 systems running zfs. i've got my primary system doing ZFS SEND each night to my secondary system for backups. I'm using a script I wrote to automate the process. I'm passing the zfs send receive through gnetcat as a buffer which increases the speed of the transfer quite a bit. The script is available here: http://pastebin.com/2suzs3wP My problem is, when I run this script it syncs just fine, but it never actually ends. It just sits there until I kill it. I would love to have this run as a scheduled cron job, but until I can get this to exit cleanly when it is done, that won't be an option. Here is the output I get when I run this: http://pastebin.com/q8hRzuVv Would really appreciate any advice you may have. If anyone has a cleaner/more efficient way of doing these incremental send/receives, that would be great too.

odd phantom directory
Hi all, I ran into a rather odd issue this morning with my FreeBSD 9.0-Release system running ZFS v28. This system serves as an RSYNC host which all of our other systems back up to each night. Last night, I started getting the following error: file has vanished: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki Now, usually when I get a file has vanished error during an RSYNC run, it indicates that the source file/directory on the system that is sending the rsync backup has been deleted or moved before rsync got a chance to actually send it. That doesn't appear to be the case here. /backup/ldap1/etc/pki is the destination directory on my Freebsd/ZFS server. I take a look in /backup/ldap1/etc on my Freebsd server and the pki subdirectory is no longer listed. Ok, so I run mkdir /backup/ldap1/etc/pki and get the following error: mkdir: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: File exists. Odd Just to double check, I run ls -la /backup/ldap1/etc/pki and get the following: ls: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory Alright, how about a simple touch? touch: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory Fine. Maybe there is something funky about the /backup/ldap1/etc directory that is preventing me from doing any of this. mkdir /backup/ldap1/etc/pki2. That works just fine. What the heck? Looking at the output of my daily security run, I see the following: Checking setuid files and devices: find: /backup/ldap1/etc/fonts/conf.avail: No such file or directory find: /backup/ldap1/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf: No such file or directory find: /backup/ldap1/etc/pki: No such file or directory So, it looks like there are a few files/directories in /backup/ldap1/etc that were affected.

FreeBsd modules
Hi, I have a watchguard firewall v80 which I’ve decided to amend it to PFSense based on freebsd. So far I’ve installed PFSense and everything is working accordingly. This firewall has 2x onboard nic cards and a PCI quad nic, as per attached photo. The onboard nics can be recognized however the PCI card is not being recognised, and the strange thing is that both onboard and the PCI uses the same chipset Intel 82559er Ethernet. How can I amend changes in freebsd modules so that the PCI card can be recognised. Usually in other distros modules can be located in /etc/module however I cannot find where the modules are located in freebsd. Can I have some assistance.

If you want to see exactly why no pkg exists, use portsmon: http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=mailportname=p5-FuzzyOcr and the reason is that the graphics/giflib port -- one of the dependencies -- failed to work properly.

Booting from ZFS with serial console
Hi all. I am in desperate need of some help with ZFS (maybe GPT) and serial consoles. I use 19200 for my console speed for everything, so I recompiled the boot blocks using BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=19200 in /etc/make.conf. I then ran this to install new blocks to my two drives in the mirror pair: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad4 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad6 If the keyboard is plugged in when the machine starts up, all is good. With the keyboard unplugged, I get a small error dump followed by BTX Halted. I tried this with the files from the install DVD, and the same thing happens...BTX Halted without a keyboard plugged in. In both cases, /boot.config has : -P -S19200. I tried changing it to -Dh -S19200, and I get the BTX Halted on every boot now. Can someone please shed some light on why it's crashing like this? I'm fairly confident this behavior is a bug and not by design...but I can't believe that this bug would not be noticed up until now.

Bill, you did get some good clues in the earlier thread, but it's not clear if you took note of them. There's also been some confusion .. Firstly, read up on layer2 (ethernet, MAC-level) filtering options in ipfw(8). Thoroughly, several times, until you've got it. Seriously. After enabling sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1 (add it to /etc/sysctl.conf) ipfw will be invoked 4 times instead of the normal 2, on every packet. Read carefully ipfw(8) section 'PACKET FLOW', and see that only on the inbound pass invoked from ether_demux() and the outbound pass invoked from ether_output_frame() can you test for MAC addresses (or mac-types); the 'normal' layer3 passes examine packets that have no layer2 headers. You could just add 'layer2' to any rules filtering on MAC addresses, and omit MAC addresses from all layer 3 (IP) rules, but I'd recommend using a method like shown there to separate layer2 and layer3 flows early on: # packets from ether_demux ipfw add 10 skipto 1000 all from any to any layer2 in # packets from ip_input ipfw add 10 skipto 2000 all from any to any not layer2 in # packets from ip_output ipfw add 10 skipto 3000 all from any to any not layer2 out # packets from ether_output_frame ipfw add 10 skipto 4000 all from any to any layer2 out So at (eg) 1000 and 4000 place your incoming and outgoing MAC filtering rules (remembering the reversed order of MAC addresses vs IP addresses, and to allow broadcasts as well), pass good guys and/or block bad guys, then deal with your normal IPv4|v6 traffic in a separate section(s). Or you could just split the flows into two streams, one for layer2 for your MAC filtering, the other for layer3, ie the rest of your ruleset.

freebsd 8.2 lockups on Dell T610 w/ Perc 6/i
I have been running 8.2 Release patched with ZFS v28 support (via http://mfsbsd.vx.sk) since early September. In that time, we have gotten multiple errors every day regarding mfi timeouts (mfi0: COMMAND 0xff80007ba5b8 TIMEOUT AFTER 32 SECONDS) and we have experienced a full system lockup every 2-4 weeks. When the system locks up it will still respond to pings, but is totally unresponsive via ssh or directly from the console. After hard booting the system, everything comes back up without any issues. I have come across other users who have experienced similar issues (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-February/227650.html). In their cases, they were able to resolve the issue by disabling C-States, Turbo Mode, and setting the bios to Maximum Performance. We have made these changes and ensured that all of our device's firmware are up to date. We are still experiencing the issue however. Fortunately, iDrac continues to work during the lockup, so we have been able to power-cycle the server remotely, but it is still a big pain. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative.

Re: Quick question about sound drivers (esp. snd_hda)
Yeah, I have tried all the basic stuff.

I don't think it is what the OP was looking for since it won't even run Windows without qemu (3hour+ compile for all targets). It is also a relatively small machine (netbook size).

They don't run FreeBSD, kfreebsd-yeeloong notwithstanding (it was a GSoC project), however the wireless would work just fine, it's a urtw(4), which has been supported since 8.0. Actually, everything on the computer *would* work if FreeBSD was ported to it, but this is a non-trivial task and simply isn't going to happen until there are people willing to make it happen. With that said, the Yeeloong is not a good recommendation for anyone, with the exception of someone who wants to buy a nascent, possibly (hopefully) emerging architecture, to play with or to port software. Or someone who cares that much about free software and doesn't care about the limitations of the architecture.

Re: Best Laptop to buy for Freebsd Without OS?
3) Buy a machine with the base Win 7 Home installed, decline the license, and request a refund. Be prepared to waste significant time on this, but it can be done. IANAL, but I have been informed by several lawyers that you cannot do this. The Windows 7 EULA, when preinstalled on a machine, states that the agreement is between you and the company selling you the computer, and By using the Software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine its return policy. You must comply with that policy, which might limit your rights or require you to return the entire system on which the software is installed. The major OEMs will say OK, then you must return the computer, and you have no option but to comply. This is true for the USA.

USB Stack/# of bytes to read?
All, I have a couple of quick questions about the USB stack in 8.x that I'm hoping someone with a bit more experience than I can answer. I am currently working on a device driver for a Velleman K8055 board. Basically, it does digital and analog I/O under the control of a PC via USB. I've got the basic driver working fine, and I'm moving data back and forth without issue. What I'd like to be able to do, however, is poll the driver to see how much data is sitting in the input buffer, or at least see how many packet/buffers are waiting. Looking through the control structures, it appears that something like sc-fifo.fp[USB_FIFO_TX]-used_q.ifq_len would be the right field, but it never appears to be set anywhere (and is always 0). Using something like USB_IF_POLL() on the used_q suggests there is something to write, but not how much. On a similar line of thinking, how about flushing the queue entirely? Should I call usb_fifo_reset() directly? Or should I just reimplement the logic? -B ___ 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

I just added -rxcsum to the $ifconfig_emX lines in rc.conf, and I can run /etc/rc.d/netif restart now, and the NIC continues to work fine. I tried emailing the folks @ Intel that are mentioned in the man page for the em driver, but the mail bounced... --Brian -- Brian (and everyone else reading the thread), I just found this...the patch was submitted some time ago, but somehow didn't make it into 8.1. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=141843 .

Restarting network vlan interface = kernel memory corruption (if_vlan / conf/63700 redux)
[Originally from freebsd-hackers@ / Feb 2008; freebsd-net Jun 2010] All: pf conf/63700 got the ball rolling on fixing cloned/VLAN interface management with rc.d/netif, but a very specific problem still remains. For example, adding an alias to a VLAN and running: /etc/rc.d/netif restart /etc/rc.d/routing restart is a failure. --- Take the following rc.conf(4) config: hostname=sexdrugsandunix cloned_interfaces=vlan14 ifconfig_em0=up media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex -tso ifconfig_vlan14=inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.128 vlan 14 vlandev em0 up ifconfig_vlan14_alias0=inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 Change it to include a second alias without a reboot, instead run 'rc.d/netif restart', as works on a physical interface: hostname=sexdrugsandunix cloned_interfaces=vlan14 ifconfig_em0=up media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex -tso ifconfig_vlan14=inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.128 vlan 14 vlandev em0 up ifconfig_vlan14_alias0=inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_vlan14_alias1=inet 1.2.3.6 netmask 255.255.255.255 The result will be: % ifconfig vlan14 [bsekle...@sureshot ~]$ ifconfig vlan14 vlan14: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu inet 1.2.3.6 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.158.152 inet 1.2.3.5 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.158.255 1) I'm not sure where the .152 broadcast comes from. ?! 2) The new _alias1= data is now in the primary IP slot 3) The primary IP is lost, there is no routable IP 4) The original _alias0= data is now in the 1st alias slot 5) rc.d/routing fails because the interface lacks a routable IP with a valid netmask/broadcast combination. --- Problem #1: rc.d/netif::network_stop() The core problem is that rc.d/netif::network_stop() never calls network.subr::clone_down() in the same way that rc.d/netif::network_start() calls network.subr::cloned_up() I'd speculate that this is a design decision not to destroy network interfaces that certain userland daemons (DHCP, RTADVD, BPF) may be strictly bound to; I disagree. Even if you explicitly pass your VLAN interface to rc.d/netif, a stop doesn't call 'ifconfig [VL] destory', and, when 'rc.d/netif start' is called later, SIOCSETVLAN results. jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 destroy jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 create inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 666 vlandev em0 jail-host-80:/home/bseklecki% sudo ifconfig vlan666 create inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 666 vlandev em0 ifconfig: create: bad value A simple rc.d/network_stop() patch could fix this problem if we can avoid bikeshedding. -- Problem #2: VLAN interface kernel data structures maintain configuration data after being destroyed and re-created %ifconfig vlan666 vlan666: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3RXCSUM,TXCSUM ether 00:0c:29:a1:4b:9d inet 192.168.15.54 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.15.255 media: Ethernet 1000baseT full-duplex status: active vlan: 666 parent interface: em0 %sudo ifconfig vlan666 destroy %sudo ifconfig vlan666 create %ifconfig vlan666 vlan666: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3RXCSUM,TXCSUM ether 00:0c:29:a1:4b:9d !!** inet 192.168.15.54 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.15.255 **!! media: Ethernet 1000baseT full-duplex status: active vlan: 666 parent interface: em0 Now, that's something you don't see very day!! NOTE: I can't get that persistent IP data problem to happen consistently, but its highly reproducible. I also have no idea on the fixes, I'll check this weekend, but I have a work-around. To avoid destroying your routing table after adding an alias to a VLAN interface in rc.conf(5), simply run: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/netif [VLAN] start DO NOT RESTART, and you should be okay. ~BAS References: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-February/023440.html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=63700cat= (Circa 2004) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2007-September/015447.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2010-June/025514.html -- Brian A.

Re: FreeBSD vs YouTube
Depends on how you want to do it. You can use www/youtube_dl to get the movies, then watch on your player of choice. Or if you really want to watch in a browser can go to youtube.com/html5 and sign up for the HTML5 beta. Then on a (very) modern browser, any videos with HTML5 will work. Unfortunately, videos done in just HTML5 will have no sound but ones with HTML5 + WebM will have sound. I believe that the HTML5 + WebM for the moment is only available on HD movies. A word of caution though: the HTML5 youtube will only work well on high-powered computers, so don't expect it to work well/at all on older hardware. ___ 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

PXE + sysinstall(8) install.cfg: DHCP Attribute to map install config/policy to system MAC?
All:
The install.cfg mechanism is pretty wicked.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a really efficient way
to provide new clients (or class of clients) an install.cfg
without rebuilding an MFSROOT image.
At least with pxeboot(8), in TFTP-only-mode, using
dhcpd.conf(5) client{} entries, there isn't a way
to differentiate policies.
It's just going to go looking for /boot/loader.rc
and /boot/loader.conf from wherever DHCP told PXE
to fetch pxeboot(8) from.
From there, you need to custom compile a 5 meg
mfsroot image for each [class of] client.
With an NFS stage-2 boot, I suppose you could set:
option root-path /export/${client}Root etc.,
but then your 5 meg mfsroot is just extracted
1-per-client.
Still seems a bit ugly. It seems like we could teach
sysinstall(8) to fetch install.cfg by some standard
mechanism.
Possibly a TFTP or NFS URL passed from the DHCP server
- boot loader - kernel sysctl - sysinstall(8).
For example, the Sun SPARC4s would TFTP fetch their
stage 1 boot loader via TFTP with a filename req
of their MAC address in HEX format, so one could
just put symlinks in place.
Thoughts or other ideas?
~BAS
PS: our in-tree tftpd(8) is an unending source of sorrow and misery and
clinical despair. ports/net/freebsd-tftp is a lifesaver (it actually
has debugging)

Debugging RLIMITs signals: SIGXFSZ and SIGXCPU
All: I've got a process that is mysteriously receiving a SIGTERM (or other signal. It's a RADIUS daemon; runs a non-Root (not privsep, unfortunately). Identical hardware, identical code, identical config on 6.3-PL is fine. On 8, the daemon is logging receipt of a non-HUP signal and exiting out. Our best theory at the moment are changes in default RLIMITs between RELENG_6and RELENG_8. For example: 6.3: open files (-n) 11095 8: open files (-n) 3520 Either that, or a memory/file handler/other leak that only manifests in RELENG_8. Either way, I'd like to debug the kernel handling of RLIMITs. The best I can find are references to: /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c::lim_cb() to SIGXCPU for RLIMIT_CPU /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c::ffs_write() to SIGXFSZ or ... RLIMIT_FSIZE Not sure about RLIMIT_RSS, RLIMIT_AS, RLIMIT_NOFILE or others. Unfortunately, in the two places I see, the call 'psignal()' is used in leui of 'killproc()' to pass those custom RLIMIT's related signals and psignal() doesn't have any logging like killproc(). It would be really nice if there could be some standardized logging for RLIMIT* related resource exhaustion. For example: /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_pageout.c: killproc(bigproc, out of swap space); So my question are: 1) Anyone else interested in having this feature (RLIMIT debugging, possibly a sysctl(3))? 2) Does anyone have any idea how other RLIMIT_ exhaustion is handled? A lot of other checks in the code in kernel_resource.c seems to 'return (error);' on resource exhaustion.

FreeBSD 8, serial console problem
FreeBSD 8 uses the uart system to handle serial consoles, I changed mine over and I've been running into problems since. I have serial console access during the loader and boot process, but it freezes right after boot and posting of the date: Mon Mar 22 22:18:08 EDT 2010 Well, the kernel still outputs to the console, as evident when I plugged in a keyboard into the usb slot: ugen1.2: vendor 0x046d at usbus1 uhub5: vendor 0x046d G15 Keyboard Hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/0.20, addr 2 on usbus1 (server.example.com) (ttyu0) login: uhub5: 4 ports with 2 removable, bus powered I typed 'root' and then it froze. Again, I plugged in the keyboard, but this time I couldn't type anything despite getting another login prompt. I even echoed to the console and it worked. Finally I typed kldload uart into my ssh terminal and poof: FreeBSD/i386 o(server.example.com) (ttyu0) u login: jhlgf e_register: module isa/uart already exists! Module isa/uart failed to register: 17 module_register: module pci/uart already exists! Module pci/uart failed to register: 17 I was able to login and everything worked fine. Notice how uart already exists.. it's compiled into the kernel. Right now the only way I've come up with to fix my broken console is to kldload, but I can only do it once per boot.

The same problem happens with OS X 10.6.2, but not with Win7 (and Linux 2.6 remains untested at this time).

The box has 4 interfaces, one for pfsync, one for me to connect to it, and two bridged interfaces. The only traffic on the bridged interfaces is STP and IP multicast traffic from my EIGRP routers. When I run pfctl -s rules -v, the EIGRP multicast traffic never hits any rules...yet it's allowed. I'm on FreeBSD 7.1. Has anyone else come across this before?

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas, or better yet, experience with such devices, before I spend a couple of days of banging my head against the wall trying to figure out whats happening under the hood?

FIONREAD behavior possible on uhid?
All,
I recently picked up a Velleman K8055, which is basically a Digital and
analog I/O board that connects to a PC via a USB connection. So far, its
worked fine w/FreeBSD, the uhid driver picks it up, and a simple cat
/dev/uhid0 will start pulling the 8 bytes that represent the inputs
and counters available.
However, once the device is open, it polls several times per second,
and uhid begins to buffer the board's output in a clist. Since I don't
need that level of resolution, I'm looking to have the application back
down to once per second, perhaps slower (every 5 seconds). However, in
order to do this, I need to either stop the over sampling or flush the
buffer, and then pick up the first new read. However, performing both
a TIOCFLUSH (have ioctl flush the buffers) as well as a FIONREAD (return
the number of bytes waiting so the application can read them and throw
them away) fail.
I also tried to add a FIONREAD to uhid_do_ioctl() and uhidioctl() at
different times. My understanding is that with the ioctl calls, the
infrastructure should be able to do the copy out, so a simple:
case FIONREAD:
{
*addr = sc-sc_q.c_cc;
break;
}
should have done the trick, and it compiles happily, but it fails with
an invalid address error when the ioctl is called. I also tried using
copyout directly, but from the little reading I did, addr is already
supposed to be in the kernel address space, and it returns EFAULT.
Its been about 10 years since I've played seriously in the kernel
space, so I hope its something simple I've just forgotten. Can someone
point me at a way to get this functionality, short have having to write
a device-specific driver (a-la uvisor) ?

Stability issues after upgrading to 7.1 - NFS related?
Hello all, We recently upgraded an NFS server from 7.0-p6 to 7.1-p6. The following Monday morning, we found the server's networking to be wedged, and console error messages that strongly resemble this post [1]. In an effort to try the mentioned fixes, we upgraded to 7-STABLE. This did not seem to help matters; the NFS server keeps wedging 1-2x a day, requiring soft reboots (via console) at times and hard reboots at others. Heavy NFS load seems to trigger everything. Initially, we thought there might be a problem with rpc.statd because we started seeing RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC : Timed out messages. All the hosts that timed out were previously-working Linux (CentOS) NFS clients. We have IPsec configured in transport mode between all FreeBSD and Linux NFS clients, but only see the RPC error for CentOS (not RHEL) hosts, (and no errors from FreeBSD clients). Before the system wedges completely, `top` reports that most nfsd processes are in the *ipsec state. These are all the troubleshooting steps we have taken: - disabled NFS locking on the Linux NFS clients - RPC timed out messages still appear - set up RPC to use static ports for NFS on our CentOS clients (to work better with our firewalls, which needed no such rules before) - RPC timed out messages still appear - added 'rpc_lockd_enable=NO' to /etc/rc.conf - after rebooting, `rpcinfo -p` showed no lock manager running, but the crashes persisted - added nooptions NFSLOCKD to the kernel configuration - this only caused things to crash faster (few minutes after boot, with very little NFS load) Unfortunately, one of the issues we've run into in debugging this problem is the lack of useful logs and debugging information. Some info we have managed to gather: - before one reboot, we noticed console messages about mbuf's filling up. Running `netstat -m` right before crashes seems to confirm this. If anyone could provide some insight into what's happening, or help us get more debugging information, it would be very helpful.

Re: FreeBSD 7.1 opencrypto -- kern.cryptodevallowsoft
The openssl speed sub-command is a real PITA: Try: $ openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-cbc (or des-ede3) Also goto /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto/ make Run those utils to extract useful statistics out of the driver's kernel data structures. ~BAS On Mon, 2009-05-18 at 11:21 +0100, Brendan Kennedy wrote: Hi Brian, Patrick, Thanks for your responses. I agree that it looks like a bug! I'm a bit of a newb to FreeBSD. Where should I go to log this? I ran (as root ;) ) openssl engine (padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE) (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support (cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine [RSA, DSA, DH] It can be seen only PKE functions are being shown as accelerated. 'kldstat' only shows cryptodev.ko, but that's because I have 'crypto' compiled as part of the kernel. I have found another issue here also - although 'openssl engine -c' shows correct accelerated functionality of the hardware driver, running a speed test (e.g. openssl speed des-ede3 -engine cryptodev) does not result in any messages being sent to the driver apart from the initial check for available algorithms. It seems only accelerated PKE functions are run through the driver. It may be that the symmetric functions are being run through the software device driver (cryptosoft)... Could it be down to cryptodev engine being loaded twice in OpenSSL? Or would cryptodev favour the software driver if CRYPTO_F_HARDWARE is not set? Regards, Brendan 2009/5/15 Brian A.
