Re: Soekris for a Trac server
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dunno about Soekris, but I'm very happy with one of these mini-box systems that cost about $250 with a 60GB SSD disk: http://www.mini-box.com/MiniPC-Value-Systems I got a fan but it doesn't need it. It runs ordinary amd64 FreeBSD 9.1, installed from a thumb drive. It provides DNS, DHCP, and some other random services on my home network. It's also my backup server, running a four drive ZFS raid with an ESATA controller, so I bumped the RAM up to 4GB. My only complaint is that the PCI slot doesn't have a matching cutout on the back panel for for the ESATA adapter I have to use a riser card and leave the cover off, which looks stupid but looks fine. It's just like any other FreeBSD box do I don't see why it wouldn't run jails perfecty well.

Re: Problems with stable/9 and LSI controlers?

You probably have the other GPT paritions already mounted via another name which removes the names in /dev/gptid. Try booting an install CD or USB stick such that you use an alternate root fs and don't mount any of the partitions on your drive. Then you should be able to see the entries in /dev/gptid and update your fstab appropriately. If you console access you could also try to update your fstab to use /dev/gptid/uid directly instead of /dev/XXXpYY and reboot. If it works I believe the /dev/XXXpYY names will now be gone from /dev and the /dev/gptid names present instead. -- John Baldwin ___ 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

trashed installation ?
Hi, I got FreeBSD 10 CURRENT installed in a virtualbox on my ubuntu desktop, had installed x11, and was working on gnome (the 3rd day of compilation !) when I lost power ... twice in a row. The FreeBSD recovered the first time but it doesn't look good this second time. I attach a screenshot. I installed the guest editions as well (another day's compilation !) but mouse doesn't work in the FreeBSD terminal and there's no way I can copy text, or share anything via the clipboard. I'm afraid it's shot and I'll have to spend another week recreating a FreeBSD virtualbox guest ... unless you can tell me how to fix this one. Hope to hear from you, but if I haven't by tomorrow I'll just go ahead and wipe this machine and try again ... with pkgs instead of ports this time. Might not a take a week that way. I get the impression that there's no one reading my mails, or else no interest in my problems. Fair enough. What do I expect for free, right?

Re: WANTED: Tool to verify installed package/port consistancy
I expect the reason you won't find a port verifier is that the usual way to recover from a situation like yours is to reinstall them all: # portupgrade --all --force This might take longer than trying to verify them, but it has the advantage of not needing a lot of attention (use -DBATCH to skip config steps) and when you're done, the packages have all been updated and fixed. Doing a general port verifier is a pain because the scripts called from make install can run arbitrary programs.

Strange delays in ZFS scrub or resilver
I have a raidz of three 1 TB SATA drives, in USB enclosures. One of the disks went bad, so I replaced it last night and it's been resilvering ever since. I can watch the activity lights on the disks and it cranks away for a minute or so, then stops for a minute, then cranks for a minute, and so forth. If I do a zpool status while it's stopped, the zpool waits until the I/O resumes, and a ^T shows it waiting for zio-io_cv. I'm running FreeBSD 9.1, amd64 version, totally vanilla install on a mini-itx box with 4GB of RAM. The root/swap disk is an SSD separate from the zfs disks. When the disks are active, top shows about 10% system time and 4% interrupt. When it isn't, top shows about 99.8% idle. The server isn't doing much else, and nothing else currently touches the disks. (They're for remote backup of a system somewhere else, and I have the backup job turned off until resilvering completes.) I'm running this on the console, and there are no disk error messages. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it? I could move the disks to an ESATA enclosure if USB is losing interrupts or something. My recollection is that when I've done a scrub, it does the same thing, work, pause, work, pause.

strange network problem with multiple interfaces

This is on a live server and I would like to keep downtime and problems to a minimum. :-) One way is to work around your problem is to add 'TMPDIR=/path/to/bigger/filesystem' in /etc/crontab and/or 'export TMPDIR=/path/...' in /etc/periodic.conf. No downtime for that. But yes, you can make /tmp a sym link. You may have to worry about edge cases regarding booting (like if the filesystem you point to is not available early enough at boot time). In the typical case (e.g., locally mounted ufs), it should work fine. There may be very rare cases of software that gets confused by a sym link for /tmp, but certainly the stock periodic scripts should work with it. Depending on what processes have files open on /tmp, you may decide to use some down time to make the sym link. You can't use mv(1) to rename a mounted mount point. If you can umount /tmp, then you can rename it and make the sym link. But it's possible some processes have files open in /tmp preventing a normal umount (see lsof(8), fstat(1)). You would have to convince those processes to close the /tmp file descriptors. ___ 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: Patent hit - MS goes after Linux - FreeBSD ?
Out of curiosity has anyone ever heard of trolls patenting open source technologies after the fact? The prior art stipulations pretty much kills that off, unless they make a genuine improvement/change to it to not qualify under that, then they would be well within patent law to apply for a patent. The patent office has never been very good at examining software patents, and I have made a lot of money helping companies document the prior art not cited in patents that are being asserted against them.

No network connectivity to system
Hi, I'm running 9.0-R on a small fileserver. I am weirdly unable to make any connections (tcp, udp, icmp) to the machine and am hoping someone has some off-the-cuff ideas. I violated rule #1 (don't sysadmin while tired) and somehow nuked my ipfw configuration while attempting to set up NAT via OpenVPN (using IPDIVERT in my kernel build). I rebuilt it from memory, but since then, I cannot connect to the machine at all. I do not believe that it is ipfw related. I've tried enabling/disabling ipfw via sysctl and /etc/rc.conf. I've flushed all rules, as well as installed an entirely open ruleset. I've re-built and booted into a kernel with all IPFIREWALL-related options (including IPDIVERT) commented out. While I had denyhosts installed, it's disabled. I've tried single user mode with networking enabled. The system boots fine. It NFS-mounts network drives without problem. Default gateway and network configuration look fine, it can ping and connect to both LAN and Internet addresses. tcpdump sees incoming connections, but no replies. Inetd is running. From the system console itself, I can telnet to all ports on its IP. Syslog tells me nothing. No console messages. I'm missing something utterly fundamentally idiotically harebrained and I have no clue what it could be - I'd be endlessly grateful for any tips or ideas on what to try (beyond an exorcist).

Re: portupgrade -- is there a way to only build and update ports that actually NEED it?
You would think there's an option to portupgrade that says don't upgrade every single package I've got, but if somewhere in the dependency chain I need a newer version of a thing, then do it. The problem is that the versioning in the ports system doesn't distinguish between upgrades that present interface changes and upgrades that are just nits, new features, or minor bug fixes. Port makefiles can contain version dependency info, e.g., this port needs at least version N.M of package X, but few of them do. This has bitten me in the past with PHP and pcre. In fact, PHP5 won't work with old versions of pcre, but the PHP port maintainer refuses to put in version dependency info, because he thinks that every port should be up to date all the time.

Free space in ZFS
I made a three disk zraid ZFS pool yesterday from three new 1 TB disks, which I'm using for backup. Then I did a backup and made a zfs volume. The free space numbers don't make sense. This is on 8.3, ZFS version 15. # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAILCAP HEALTH ALTROOT backup2 2.72T 310G 2.42T11% ONLINE - Given that it's zraid, the total available space should be a little under 2TB since the third disk is for parity.

You can break into ddb and run 'call doadump'. It should use polled IO, so there is a slight chance of it working. Also, thank you for the KTR_SCHED tip. This is the type of info I was looking for.

After Dane Foster contacted me and told me he could recreate the crash on demand with his workload it was easier to narrow things down. The suggestion that it was an interrupts issue (by possibly Bjoern Zeeb?) and Dane's discovery that his crashes ceased when em0 and mpt0 share an IRQ, but em0 is completely unused was starting to prove there is some strong evidence here in favor of the interrupts issue. Dane, what's the status on your end? Has your fix still been successful? Is it also stable if you simply set hint.mpt.0.msi_enable=1 ? Hmm, so the set of ps output you have from DDB shows a lot of runnable processes and swi6 (Giant taskq) as the only running thread (all consistent with your hang).

odd SDcard behaviour in freebsd-9.0-R
Hi list, I recently upgraded from 8.2-R to 9.0-R via freebsd-update and noticed different behaviour when I plug in my Nikon D50 via the usb port. I'm using the generic kernel while I try to sort this. It is the same in all but identity. 8.2 behaviour used to create a device /dev/da(x)s1 depending on what else was also connected to the USB subsystem.

Re: Printing directly to IP address
same way I do, via a wireless network. The difference is that I am using CUPS to achieve that goal. My friend would like to do it sans CUPS if possible. If the printer supports the hoary lpd protocol, you can configure it in /etc/printcap. If it wants socket or IPP protocols, CUPS is the least painful route. Installing CUPS on freebsd is pretty straightforward. The main wart is that you have to manually move all the lpr commands in /usr/bin out of the way and symlink them to the CUPS versions in /usr/local/bin. Other than that, the web config works great, and it has drivers for vast numbers of printers, particularly when you also install hplip.

What's wrong with this code?
This tiny routine is in a .so loadable module I use. (It's part of the
mailfront
SMTP daemon.)
static const char* date_string(void)
{
static char datebuf[64];
time_t now = time(0);
struct tm* tm = gmtime(now);
strftime(datebuf, sizeof datebuf - 1, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S -, tm);
return datebuf;
}
I was getting bogus dates. Running it under GDB, time() is returning
-1, and setting errno to 22, which is EINVAL. Changing the call to
time to time(NULL) or time(now) made no difference.
I changed it to a call to gettimeofday(), which works fine. But what
could the problem have been? When I splice this routine into a tiny
test program that calls it and prints out the result, it works fine.
The obvious problem, since it's in a .so, is that it's linking to something
other than
the system library time() function, but I did an nm on the .so, and it said
this,
which sure looks like the system time() function to me:
U time@@FBSD_1.0
Setting a breakpoint in gdb gets a complaint about trying to set a breakpoint
in /lib/libc.so.7.
Any ideas what the problem was?

Re: Fast personal printing _without_ CUPS
I'm not a huge fan of CUPS, but at this point it's the best of a bad lot. I find the queueing useful, since I often print documents long enough that I don't want to wait. More importantly, CUPS, for me at least, seems to be quite slow. There's a lng pause after I queue something for printing until something actually comes out of the printer. Yeah. I have a similar printer with a similar problem. I believe that what's going on is that the current version of CUPS tells all the clients to print to PDF, then for printers that don't handle PDF, converts that to postcript using ghostscript which is very, very slow. I think this is a bug. A few versions ago it used to tell clients to print postscript which it can send directly to my printer. I also looked at using pdftops, which is much faster, to convert the PDF, but the call to ghostscript and the ghostscript command options are wired into the CUPS code and were more hassle to change than I wanted to do.

I don't quite understand the issue you are raising john. $ lpr foo $ lpr bar $ lpr baz It will print the three files in a row, starting each when the previous one is done. Like, you know, a print queue. John are you saying that my documents, some of which *start out* as .PS files, are converted by CUPS to .PDF and thence (since I don't have any printers that speak PDF) the document is then converted *back* to Postscript for actual printing?? Seems that way, based on a little poking around. If I use something like evince, I think it will do whatever CUPS tells it to do. If I use the basic CUPS lpr command to print a .ps file, that's fast since there's nothing smart enough to do something stupid. I think this is a bug. If it is, then I think it may be a long-standing one. I did something very like what I just described doing on FreeBSD 8.2 also back on my old FreeBSD 7.0 system which I first installed maybe three years of more ago. My recollection is that CUPS on FBSD 7 printed a lot faster, although it also may have something to do with the fact that I used to use a USB to parallel thing, and since then I scored a print server card on ebay for about $15 and print over the network.

Re: Updating emacs fails
It sounds to me like the right thing to do is to fix emacs' configuration so it always uses the base system ncurses whether or not the package version is there. Right? maybe/maybe not. It depends on what emacs needs - whether it only works with either its own termcap module or a conventional termcap library in the system. Probably its installation documentation tells what's needed. If you look at the build log I posted, it's failing because it's trying to link in the system termcap library and failing because ncurses doesn't provide it.

I tried rebuilding some of the packages that allegedly depend on the ncurses port, and they all seemed to work OK, so the right solution may be to deprecate the ncurses port or fold it into the mainline system.

I tried rebuilding some of the packages that allegedly depend on the ncurses port, and they all seemed to work OK, so the right solution may be to deprecate the ncurses port or fold it into the mainline system. The way it's supposed to work is that emacs will depend on (and link to) ncurses if it's installed when the emacs port is built, and to the base system curses if not. I just did a quick test, and this was just what did happen. So at least part of the problem is local to your system... Did you try installing the ncurses port and then rebuilding emacs? For some reason the library in the ncurses port doesn't define the termcap routines, leading to the problem. This computer has an extremely vanilla install of 8.2 with gnome. I'm having trouble figuring what I'm doing different from anyone else other than perhaps doing portupgrade more often than others do.

Re: Updating emacs fails
ncurses is already in the base system - with different options. ... Did you try installing the ncurses port and then rebuilding emacs? For some reason the library in the ncurses port doesn't define the termcap routines, leading to the problem. Whether or not the termcap routines are provided isn't configurable. However, emacs could be confused since they're implemented on top of terminfo. It sounds to me like the right thing to do is to fix emacs' configuration so it always uses the base system ncurses whether or not the package version is there. Right?

Updating emacs fails
For at least several weeks, attempts to rebuild emacs from ports fails with an odd linker error saying it can't find symbols in the termcap library. I poked around a little, the makefile does include the appropriate library and adding it again at the end of the line in the makefile didn't help. This is on 8.2, building it with no nonstandard options I'm aware of.

Re: Do you find chrome on FreeBSD buggy?
I've had the same problem with recent versions on amd64 8.2. The versions at http://chromium.hybridsource.org/ work much better. They cost a little money but it's worth it.
