faxgetty 100%
Dear List, i've upgraded a 8.2-STABLE system to 9.0-RELEASE, recompiled every package and now faxgetty uses 100% CPU and cannot handle incoming connections (under 8.2-STABLE everything was working OK).

8.2-STABLE ZFS degraded and "freezing"
Dear List, I was running a ZFS pool, consisting of 6 disk (2 raidz1 striped) under 8.2-STABLE. The OS was running from a dedicated geom mirror. One of the ZFS disks died and the machine just froze. I've disconnected the driver and now it shows symptoms of very high I/O wait with no response. The first case was normal boot process and it froze at the "mounting local filesystems" part. For nearly 60 minutes I saw from the HDD leds that the ZFS array was working but after that no response. Even ctrl+alt+delete wasn't working. In single user mode I've disabled the ZFS rc script and after that the system booted fine. then I've started ZFS manually and it was stuck at the mounting state. I saw with zpool iostat that it was reading around 200-500kbytes constantly from the pool for about 60 minutes. During that time i could use the machine, even check ZFS with zpool status of zfs status. The only issue was that df only showed one of the 6 zfs filesystems mounted from the pool. After about 60 minutes of constats HDD working everything stopped, like when there's a very high I/O wait because of a faulty HDD. Even commands running from the dedicated gmirror drive stopped working. I've checked every HDD with badblocks and only one (the original faulty drive) showed errors. I've booted up a 9-BETA install CD and from the rescue shell I've run a scrub process and it was finished in 21 hours and if fixed about 3MB worth of data from 800GB. Even that didn't help. Could it be that some metadata got damaged and the zfs filesystems cannot be mounted? I'm not an expert on ZFS, i'm just starting to learn it and this was just an experimental system but i just don't want to start it over. If there is a slight possibility for recovery i would like to do that, but i don't know how to narrow down the problem. Please, if you have any idea let me know of it.

Portsnap vs cvsup
What is the difference between using portsnap and cvsupping a ports supfile? The last time I really used FreeBSD was several years ago, but it seems that portsnap has replaced "cvsup ports-supfile". What exactly is the difference between the two? What makes portsnap the better option? ___ 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"
Replacing Home Router With PC
I've got an old Linksys router hanging off of my cable modem that is several years old and is about to die (very poor wireless throughput should be 54 mb and is 2, runs hot, and "buzzes" while turned on). I've got an older PC that would great as a routerhowever I also need it to be a wireless access point for my house. It has a PCI wireless network card (A 54G Belkin, not sure of the exact model). I know FreeBSD is technically capable for acting as my DHCP, DNS, router, gateway box if properly configured. The question is, can it use that wireless card to act as a access point instead of a client (how the card is intended to be used)? Also, any links anyone can provide on how to setup a FreeBSD box to act as home router/gateway would be much appreciated! ___ 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"
FreeBSD Support Cycle
I'm possibly considering building a FreeBSD based NAS to provide NFS storage for vSphere in a production environment. I would use FreeBSD-8, amd64 variety. What is the expected EOS & EOL dates (end of support/end of life) for FreeBSD 8? I'm not sure if the EOL question matters for an open source OS, but basically I'm just asking at what point in time would there no longer be security updates and bug fixes made to the OS?___ 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: FreeBSD File Server with ZFS
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Does your old P4 support 64-bit operation? Does it have 2GB RAM or more? If not, then you might want to reconsider using ZFS. It's not that it won't or can't be made to work given those limitations, but you'll find it hard work to get it running stably and performing well. UFS on the other hand will work just fine on 32bit systems and smaller and older machines. (The limitation with UFS is a maximum 2TB filesystem size, but I suspect this will not cause you any practical difficulties.) Cheers, Matthew I'm not sure if my box supports 64 bit OSes or not, I'll have to look into that. I know for a fact it doesnt have 3+ GB of RAM. At most it'll have 2 GBat least RAM for that old beast should be cheap! :-) ___ 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"
Mouse not working on virtual box VM
I've successfully got X Windows up and running on a Virtual Box VM on FreeBSD 8, however it isn't detecting my mouse. Any idea on how I can make that happen? As far as I know, there are no guest addition for virtual box for FreeBSD..of course that's assuming that would even help. It might not. ___ 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"
FreeBSD File Server with ZFS
I've got an old P4 desktop computer running in the basement with a 1 TB external USB drive connected to that I use as a file server. That PC is running XP. It has recently become infected with some sort of virus. I'd like to replace it with FreeBSD running ZFS + Samba (I need to access it from a OS X machine and a Windows 7 box). 1) Will FreeBSD be able to detect and use my TB hard drive as ZFS disk? Right now it is only a single disk, but later on I'll and a second disk and setup a mirror. Even as a single disk, the checksumming ability would be nice. 2)Assume I get everything setup in regards to step 1 and my OS disk dies. How do I go about importing the ZFS external disk into another FreeBSD installation?

7.0 -> 7.1 crash every two day
Dear List, I've upgraded from source my 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE. It's a general purpose server for a small company and it's clients, running web, sql, mail and recursive dns. The machine is a Compaq ML350 G2. Version 7.0 was running on it for a year now without any problem. After 30 of April I've upgraded to 7.1 (I've followed the handbook) and since then nearly every two day the machine becomes unreachable except for echorequest. If i try to log in in the terminal it just hangs after i give my password. I'm out of any ideas. Please feel free to ask any more info that I've forgotten to provide.

Msdos/FAT stability issues
Hi list, Recently I've been experimenting with fetching files via bittorrent clients, and storing torrents as well as their resulting files on a fat formatted slice (automatically recognized and setup during fbsd installation a couple of years ago). Now after adding around ~three or more concurrent torrents something happens with the fat slice and/or its driver. All programs trying to access the slice will freeze and this even includes the Gnome desktop. During shutdown, flushing of a little more than 1600 buffers fails. I run 6.2-release. Does the FAT driver contain known concurrency issues, and can I work around them by using certain mount parameters??? I have tried two different clients - ctorrent and transmission - and they both behave the same. All is well when using a std ufs slice. br Nikolaj ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
