Files in /tmp directory - Is there any timelimit ?
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 9. I would like to know as to what is the lifetime of the files in /tmp directory. The general description says that these files *may* not be preserved across a reboot. By this I interpret that if the system is not rebooted, then these files will be there forever. But, just wanted a confirmation to see if there is any lifespan (expiry-time) attached with these files (ie the system would flush these files after some days/months etc automatically). Please inform.

Re: FreeBSD 8.4 Boot failure
Luckily, in this case, I had set a cron job long, long ago to do daily snapshots. So I have a snapshot from before the upgrade - There are indeed two different loaders. The newer one matches zfs when grepped, the older one does not... But, since it was working before, I restored the older loader and tried to boot again. No dice - it still sticks at that screen where all I see is / in the upper left. I also tried putting the older zfsboot and zfsloader back in place (with the old loader) to try and get a different error - still no dice. I'm still stuck wondering if that screen is from FreeBSD attempting to boot, or from the BIOS - but nothing changed for booting, as far as I know. I'll poke through the BIOS more tomorrow as well to see if some option got reset during a power-off. I'll get a more thorough look at what all changed in /boot tomorrow too, and get a list of all the files. It's almost 4am here and I have to work tomorrow :) (well, today I suppose). I'll also check to see if I can find anything about if zfs boot works differently in 8.4 vs 8.3 and older, as I may not have rebooted after the final freebsd-update install command (I *think* I did, but my memory gets fuzzy). Thanks for the input! I hope you have a good morning, and I'll let you know tomorrow/later today with anything new and interesting I find :) On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 1:45 AM, Terje Elde te...@elde.net wrote: On 25. sep. 2013, at 06:59, Tyler Sweet ty...@tsweet.net wrote: I tried reinstalling the boot blocks from both the fixit live filesystem and also mounting zroot and using the files there in case they were different. Disclaimer: I haven't gotten (enough) morning-coffee yet, but... Disclaimer 2: at times tracking how zfs-booting is done in the different versions can be a bit tricky. This is a moving target, and I've lost track of the 8-branch. That said, assuming you have the correct bootcode (gptzfsboot), here's what might have happened: You installed 8.2, with a loader supporting zfs. Then you upgraded your /boot-stuffs, and bootcode on disk (correctly), but got left with a loader without zfs support. Then tried to upgrade the bootcode, but you're still left with a loader not supporting zfs. If I recall correctly, then the zfs-bootcode for 9+ will use zfsloader (supporting zfs and built by default), while earlier versions depend on loader with zfs support (built without by default). If that's the case, you could dump LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT into /etc/make.conf and rebuild/reinstall it, or install /boot/loader from the fixit (if it has zfs support in 8.4). That's my first thought at least... If that doesn't fix it (remember backups of any files you replace or upgrade), it'd be interesting to see the output of: ls -l /boot/*loader /boot/*boot On the /boot you're using. Anything that didn't get built or installed? Also, did you snapshot your zfs before upgrading? Could be a working /boot/loader there, which might be the easiest way to get the system up, before rebuilding with ZFS-capable loader... if I'm right, which isn't a given (ref disclaimers).

Does this auto-cleanup apply to files in /var/tmp directory also. The generic description says that the files in this directory can stay across reboots.

Ah, I see - you've been refering to repeating a _shell_ command (so the question was regarding the shell, which in your case is Z shell). You can probably use (like in the C shell) the arrow keys to browse the command history. Similarly, you can use the !number command refering to the command number obtained by the history command. There's a handy alias defined globally for the C shell: h which means history 25 (lists the last 25 commands), handy in regards of saving keystrokes. :-) I assume the zsh is also capable of filtered history: For example, you enter vi s and use the up and down arrow keys to browse all commands that have been entered starting with vi s (for example vi sent, vi stuff and so on). If the system's csh can do this, zsh should also provide this useful feature. And as your prompt pts/14 17:12 tao [5012] suggests, the command number is being shown. If this information is the same as the command number in the history, entering !5010 would execute the 2nd from last command. To repeat the last command, whatever it has been, !! can be used.

FreeBSD 8.4 Boot failure
Hello all, Not sure if this is the correct list. I've run into a problem with one of my servers where it no longer boots. It uses GPT and ZFS for root. Recently, I did an upgrade from 8.2 up to 8.4. That went fine, and I rebooted a few times after that to finish installing updates. During those reboots, I also updated ZFS to the most recent version to take advantage of dedupe and the new compression algorithm. The server has two zpools, zroot which has the system on it, and data, which has everything else (except /usr/home, which is on zroot). I followed this guide a long, long time ago: https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1 While deleting several large files, the system stopped responding to SSH/HTTP/everything except ping. Thinking it was just taking a long time to finish, I let it sit for about a day. When it didn't recover, I had to do a hard power-off, as it wasn't accepting key strokes at the console. When it boots back up, it gets past POST and then goes to a black screen with just a spinner in the upper left-hand corner. No text, no logo, nothing else. The spinner used to spin around a few times, now it does nothing. I've managed to get boot zpools loaded up in the fixit console, they don't show any errors. I tried reinstalling the boot blocks from both the fixit live filesystem and also mounting zroot and using the files there in case they were different. Neither one seems to change anything. I've let it sit at the (mostly) blank screen for two hours with no change. I'm at the end of my wits, and haven't been able to find any information as to what could be causing this. There are no error messages at the console, and the only output is that frozen spinner. From what I remember, I didn't change anything on the zroot zpool during the upgrade, only the data zpool to enable the new compression and dedupe on a couple file systems where they would be useful. I've checked /boot/loader.conf and /etc/fstab, and neither one has changed since it was last working. My only though is if the zroot zpool was borked somehow, but it still loads up without any issue in the fixit console (Though I had to use the -f flag on both zpools when I first loaded them, as they were still in use from when the server crashed). All the disks appear to be fine. The server still boots from USB and CD without throwing any errors. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be, or how I could troubleshoot this Further? ___ 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

Disk utilities may not recognize it, and could damage it. I think this is a good characterization of the term currently used. In historical context this layout would deserve the name traditional, as non-PC BSD installations did not _require_ a MBR enclosing to be present - this is a concept introduced by the PC world. Most PCs still work with dedicated perfectly well if desired (even though there is no real reason to use that layout approach). I try to avoid the part dangerously because the danger is only significant in non-BSD land, like some obscure systems that could try to repair something and cause data loss, which is well known and feared... :-) Most of the rest of the world used MBR partitioning, which allowed up to four MBR partitions (called slices by FreeBSD) per disk. Those are, precisely called DOS primary partitions (in difference to DOS extended partitions which somehow behave like slices in BSD terminology). :-) Yes, one partition format inside another. It only seems complicated because it is. Which makes it useful and flexible. :-) With GPT, there is no reason to use BSD disklabels at all. And most modern computers do not have any problem booting it. The old MBR approach (as well as dedicated) will probably only be needed in niche applications and exceptions.

vBSDcon Registrations Only Open For 30 More Days!
Hi all, There are only 30 more days left to register for Verisign's vBSDcon. Online registrations will become unavailable October 23, 2013. For those planning to attend, we encourage you to register soon at http://www.vbsdcon.com/. You will not want to miss this event. There will presentations by several well seasoned technologists such as Baptiste Darroussin on the subject of PkgNG, a new packaging system for FreeBSD based system such as FreeBSD, PC-BSD, and Dragonfly BSD. Baptiste has a background in UNIX Systems Engineering and is involved in multiple facets of the FreeBSD project including being a Ports committer for 3 years and a src committer for 2 years. His involvement also includes being a member of the Port management team. PkgNG, a new package management framework for FreeBSD, is one of Baptiste's primary roles where he is a lead developer. In addition to plenary speakers, vBSDcon will also feature after conference hours Hacker Lounges and Doc Sprints. These sessions will be available for the entire BSD communities to include NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and other BSD based distributions to have a collaborative space to work and communicate with one another. Complimentary wireless internet access will also be available. We look forward to seeing you all there for this opportunity to come together as a community. Remember, online registrations will close on October 23, 2013.

No. I used to work right down the street from Network Solutions (now known as Verisign) in Herndon. Indeed, I had job offerings from them but felt I was better off to stay where I was.

We may want to look this gift horse very carefully in the mouth, or at least monitor very closely contributions of code that might introduce backdoors or weaknesses. On some level I agree with this - to a point. Examine how the NSA maneuvered the NIST to approve and mandate the FIPS-140 protocols, where deeply concealed was a known weak prng. To some of us this is not news - we've known it for a long time. Arguments of pro vs con, good vs evil, ad infinitum ad nauseum, etc, are better served in a different venue. It is so much easier to get away with concealing such things inside the closed-source paradigm. What I like and admire with open source is the code is out there in public for all to examine. These truly arcane crypto stuffs operate at such a high level of mathematical complexity that even very highly skilled cryptographer/mathematicians argue amongst themselves. I am just not that smart, or that highly educated. There are some in the open source community who do have very large propellers on their beanie caps. I defer to them simply because they are smarter then me. I would trust them long before I would trust closed source. I agree about the 'looking the gift horse in the mouth' concept. Bear in mind, however, some of the guys at NIST are pretty smart too. And yet this FIPS-140/prng stuff went right by them. My suggestion is for FreeBSD (indeed open source in general) to try and engage, include, and attract to the community the kinds of elite mathematician who may have the facilities to examine the code at a higher level than can dummies like me. Whenever The Citadel wants the public to fixate on any one particular brouhaha I know they are trying to get everyone looking in a particular direction whilst they are pulling something else.

Reston/Herndon is a few miles down the Dulles Toll Rd to the west. I've been to all these places, so this is not some MapQuest google for me. The NSA, in turn -- as reported in documents recently leaked by Edward Snowden -- has a very strong interest in weakening the security of cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic software, and operating systems. We may want to look this gift horse very carefully in the mouth, or at least monitor very closely contributions of code that might introduce backdoors or weaknesses. On some level I agree with this - to a point. Examine how the NSA maneuvered the NIST to approve and mandate the FIPS-140 protocols, where deeply concealed was a known weak prng. To some of us this is not news - we've known it for a long time. Arguments of pro vs con, good vs evil, ad infinitum ad nauseum, etc, are better served in a different venue. It is so much easier to get away with concealing such things inside the closed-source paradigm. What I like and admire with open source is the code is out there in public for all to examine. These truly arcane crypto stuffs operate at such a high level of mathematical complexity that even very highly skilled cryptographer/mathematicians argue amongst themselves. I am just not that smart, or that highly educated. There are some in the open source community who do have very large propellers on their beanie caps. I defer to them simply because they are smarter then me. I would trust them long before I would trust closed source. I agree about the 'looking the gift horse in the mouth' concept. Bear in mind, however, some of the guys at NIST are pretty smart too. And yet this FIPS-140/prng stuff went right by them. My suggestion is for FreeBSD (indeed open source in general) to try and engage, include, and attract to the community the kinds of elite mathematician who may have the facilities to examine the code at a higher level than can dummies like me. Whenever The Citadel wants the public to fixate on any one particular brouhaha I know they are trying to get everyone looking in a particular direction whilst they are pulling something else. Verisign may very well have some other obfuscated agenda. Take a step backwards and try to obtain some view of the bigger picture (hint). Will not elaborate here, even though I do have some crackpot ideas. I find it highly ironic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_%28character%29#Snowden I got no end of amusement from this.

Re: [FreeBSD-Announce] vBSDcon Registrations Only Open For 30 More Days!
Hi,
Good points in Brett Michael's posts, but for brevity not copied.
Best avoid having code written reviewed just in USA as it would get less
trust globaly, NSA is a known alien mega spy, USA even coerces non USA
citizens outside USA, eg
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/aug/01/gary-mckinnon-extradition-nightmare
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ukhomeoffice-stop-the-extradition-of-richard-o-dwyer-to-the-usa-saverichard
Best encourage FreeBSD sources to be used suspiciously reviewed by a
variety of programmers mathematicians/ cryptologists from different
backgrounds countries;
Max chance of loophole reporting with more people from a spectrum
of countries with rival mutualy distrusting governments from such
as eg { Britain, China, France, Germany, Israel, North Korea,
Russia, Syria, USA } etc.
Presumably nearly all of us are cluless on crypto. math. so meantime
encourage involvement of citizens of at least a few different
dis-trusting countries.
Kernels perhaps have less reviewers than cross-OS S/W eg GPG
Open-SSH etc, so kernels might be target of choice of suborners ?
Maybe FreeBSD Foundation could set up a cheap bonus scheme for security
bugs exposed/ fixed - Special edition coffee mugs, non purchasable,
sent only as a reward, posted globaly free.
Cheers,
Julian

Due to GEOM specs, if you create a GELI encrypted container, you cannot use GPT partitioning inside that container. You must use BSD. This is an edge case, and I've submitted a bug about it a while ago, but like I just said, this is apparently a feature not a bug. It's not GEOM, it's just GPT.

Re: Wildly different numbers of portsnap updates between i386 and amd64?
The update is a delta from what is already on your system. When you updated the older box, you pulled in lots of changes to get it current. The newer box needed fewer updates to get current. Or something is wrong. You can always delete the contents of /ports and the database in /var/db/portsnap. Then just portsnap fetch portsnap extract. You will get a fresh ports tree.

geli+Root on ZFS installation
Hi, I managed to install with geli+root on ZFS setup but have a few questions. Most of the instructions just list commands but offer very little explanation. I adapted the instructions in https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE to suit my needs. Here's the process I used for the test on a VM: 2 GB RAM two HDDs 8 GB each mirrored - three partitions for boot code 128 KB for /boot 2 GB for the rest of the system and encrypted no key file for encrypted partitions, only passphrase using 9.1-RELEASE there will be no swap or handling of 4k drives, just to keep it as simple as possible. *Create the basic three partitions:* gpart destroy -F da0 gpart destroy -F da1 gpart create -s gpt da0 gpart create -s gpt da1 gpart add -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da0 gpart add -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da1 gpart add -s 2G -t freebsd-zfs da0 gpart add -s 2G -t freebsd-zfs da1 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da0 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da1 *Write boot code to both disks:* gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da1 *Load necessary modules:* kldload zfs kldload geom_eli * Encrypt the disks with only a passphrase:* geli init -b -s 4096 /dev/da0p3 geli init -b -s 4096 /dev/da1p3 geli attach /dev/da0p3 geli attach /dev/da1p3 *Creating ZFS datasets:* zpool create bootdir mirror /dev/da0p2 /dev/da1p2 zpool set bootfs=bootdir bootdir zpool create -R /mnt -O canmount=off tank mirror /dev/da0p3.eli /dev/da1p3.eli zfs create -o mountpoint=/tank/ROOT zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/bootdirbootdir zfs mount bootdir *Then exit out of the shell and go back to bsdinstall. Install as normal and then get back to the shell after bsdinstall finishes ( do not reboot yet).* Once in the newly installed system: mount -t devfs devfs /dev ( to use ZFS commands in the new environment) *Add the necessary variables/settings:* echo ‘zfs_enable=”YES”‘ /etc/rc.conf echo ‘vfs.root.mountfrom=”zfs:tank/ROOT”‘ /boot/loader.conf echo ‘zfs_load=”YES”‘ /boot/loader.conf echo ‘geom_eli_load=”YES”‘ /boot/loader.conf *Then create a zpool cache file:* zpool set cachefile=/boot/zfs/zpool.cache tank. *Then move the boot folder to the second partition under the bootdir dataset:* mv boot bootdir/ * Then set the final mount points:* zfs set mountpoint=legacy tank zfs set mountpoint=/bootdir bootdir *then reboot.* It should boot fine into the new system. - My questions: - *1.* Almost all the guides I came across, do not install to the root dataset, they only seem to use it to derive/mount other datasets/filesystems. One of the reasons is to user boot environments, what are the other possible reasons for doing this? *2*. Is it necessary to create a symbolic link to the /boot dir? Again one of the howtos on the web had this step ( https://www.dan.me.uk/blog/2012/05/06/full-disk-encryption-with-zfs-root-for-freebsd-9-x/ ). ln -fs bootdir/boot *3*. This below option is where I had most trouble. This definitely needs to be present when using geli+ZFS, if it's only ZFS, then I think the bootfs flag suffices. Can someone with more knowledge of this please shed some light on when this entry is needed. vfs.root.mountfrom=”zfs:tank/ROOT” *4.* In the wiki link above, what is the purpose of: # zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot/ROOT # zfs set mountpoint=/zroot zroot I cannot understand the logic behind the second command. Does that mean zroot will display under / (root of the filesystem)? and Why? looking at the rest of the commands: # zfs set mountpoint=/tmp zroot/tmp # zfs set mountpoint=/usr zroot/usr # zfs set mountpoint=/var zroot/var so if ROOT is set to / then tmp, usr and var all appear under ROOT, is that right? *5.* There seems to be lot of variation on how the system directories are mounted under ZFS. In the above wiki link, there seems to be separate filesystems created under the root dataset for usr, var, tmp, usr/home What's the logic? Are there any general guidelines/best practice instructions? Thank you.

Thanks! ___ 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 recently bought one like that (48 cores but 'only' 96 Gb ram). It was meant to play a double role as both zfs file server and data processing server (we do lots of satellite image processing), running FreeBSD 9.1. It connects with a SAN and we'll use it to process about 36TB of satellite data in the next months. (In a couple of weeks we will probably have budget to split those roles, and buy a dedicated file server.) After several weeks of tweaking and testing, I can say that: - the zfs/file server part runs without problems - the satellite data processing had problems scaling to all 48 cores, I got max performance when running about 18 processes in parallel, scaling up more would lower the overall performance. However, this (sorry guys) appeared to be a FreeBSD problem, and not a hardware problem. As a test I switched to linux with ZoL (ZFS on Linux), and, though zfs performance is less compared to freebsd, data processing is much much better, like a factor 12 or so. I've noticed this same scaling problem on 32+ core servers but haven't had a chance to look into the detail. From the performance graphs I am confused whether my problems are processing problems or a data I/O problem. I have done some (light) investigation as I did need the processing power. In my case the bottleneck was definitely not data I/O. Bonnie+ rates from and to the dataset were as expected, top and atop and other utils did not show any stress on the I/O system, and the algorithm which did not scale should not be IO bound, rather cpu or memory (or both). I've heard/read rumors (when I was investigating the extreme long compile time of openblas on freebsd compared to linux) about bsd being less well optimized in e.g. using the processor's L2 cache. Things like this can play an important role in the processing we do (many numerical calculations on lots of data in memory). Most of the calculations were done by quite optimized software for numerical processing (numpy/scipy using openblas (yes I did make sure openblas used only 1 thread when scaling up)). The fact that the problems disappeared when running the same under linux also point in the cpu/memory direction rather that I/O, as the ZFS on Linux performance is still behind that of ZFS on BSD. Conclusion: the hardware is alright, however when needed to do lots of heavy calculations on terabytes of data, the combination with FreeBSD appears not ideal. Of course it is you get what you pay for. Decent, OK working hardware, but none of the special handy-dandy features expensive brands will give you. If you don't need them, in my experience it is decent hardware for a good price. regards, Vincent. ___ 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-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-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

pkgng is in rude health. It's certainly usable -- you can enable it on
your systems and use it with the ports (portmaster, portupgrade style)

vBSDcon Registrations Remain Open!
Hi all, As many of you are aware, the social aspect of BSD-related conferences is very important and offers opportunities to meet and socialize with one another. Maintaining that tradition, Verisign's vBSDcon will feature a mid-conference social, brought to you exclusively by Juniper, and will be celebrating 20 years of FreeBSD. We encourage all attendees to join Verisign and Juniper to celebrate this milestone for the FreeBSD project. Conference activities start on October 25, 2013 at 6:00PM Eastern with a reception dinner hosted by Verisign at the Dulles Hyatt. General conference activities start the following morning with a presentation by David Chisnall, FreeBSD Core Team member, on the migration from GCC to LLVM/Clang within FreeBSD. David Chisnall is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, where he works on the interface between languages, operating systems, and hardware. He is also a member of the FreeBSD Core Team and an LLVM/Clang committer. He is the author of several books, including the Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor. He created the current GNUstep implementation of Objective-C and has maintained it for some years, and is now mostly responsible for the C++ stack in FreeBSD, having implemented the ABI library and ported the STL implementation. We are in high gear planning for vBSDcon 2013 hosted by Verisign at the Dulles Hyatt in Herndon, VA and we are drawing closer by the week with 5 weeks left to register. Registrations are being accepted on the conference web site at http://www.vbsdcon.com/ through October 23, 2013 after which registrations will only be taken in person at the event. -- Take care Rick Miller ___ 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
syslog program data to remote loghost
I'm trying to send program specific logs to a remote host. I get that logging to a remote server can be done with: *.warn;*.notice;kern.* @loghost And I get that logging a program can be done with: !lwiod audit.* /var/log/audit/smb.log What I want to do is: !lwiod audit.* @loghost But for some reason this doesn't work.

how to tell which process call sendmail
So, some idiot is using a cgi or php or something to send mail out of his website that he shouldn't be sending. With a bunch of sites on the server, can't tell who. System accounting can tell me that sendmail was executed 32,976 times, but is there a way to tell what process /file name called it each time? Since it's always called by the www user that doesn't help -- I need to distinguish between legit processes that call 5 or 10 in a day and the idiot who calls the other 31,000 times. Thanks!

Re: how to tell which process call sendmail
Hi Glenn, I once wrote some (quick-and-dirty) perl script that monitors network traffic and logs (for matching outgoing connections) the process command line and (if apache) the respective vhost and request. But this would not help if they are calling the sendmail program directly to inject the message into mail queue. (Unverified guess: if you temporarily remove execute permissions on it, the execution error should probably be logged somewhere?). BTW most probably that is not your user as such, but rather some abused comment form or forum script or something like that.

It was something like pointing mailer.conf to my own program which did some logging and then called the real sendmail. Actually, I might just have hacked mailwrapper directly. I think there was some way I managed to cross-reference to the httpd logs, or that might be what I tried to do and failed. Sorry - this may not be helping much.

Are there beta repos hidden somewhere that can be used? The reason I ask is I want to install packages like Gimp and LibreOffice which will take a fortnight on my laptop to compile.

Probably because syslog-ng relies upon pkgconfig, but assumes it will be installed by one of the dependent ports so doesn't explicitly declare the dependency.

FreeBSD stuck during the boot process.
Hi there!! When I try to boot FreeBSD from a USB stick, it stuck during the boot process. But if I boot it in safe mode, it succeeds to boot. How can I figure out what's wrong with the standard boot process? I can't even log the boot messages since the computer stuck and not respond. Thanks in advance!!

You could try a verbose boot (equivalent: boot -v) and see _when_ the system stops resonding. It would help to post the error message (last lines of console output) to the list to get a better impression about what's happening. If I remember correctly, safe mode refers to the mode with ACPI disabled, right?

I suggest these in your /boot/loader.conf hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 kern.cam.boot_delay=1 kern.cam.scsi_delay=2000 The CAM boot delay is needed for USB booting on some of my machines, esp.

Yes, you remember correctly, safe mode disable the ACPI support automatically. I think it's a problem in the ACPI system because when I disable ACPI, it boot successfully even without choosing safe mode. But what that is strange here, is that Microsoft Windows and Linux (Debian) are able to boot with ACPI enabled. furthermore, some days ago FreeBSD itself succeeded to boot also with ACPI support enabled. As for the error messages, there's not a particular error message. it simply stuck during the initialization of the PCI bus. Here are the last eight lines: pcib2: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0 pcib2: domain 0 pcib2: secondary bus2 pcib2: subordinate bus 2 pcib2: no prefetched decode pcib2 Subtractively decoded bridge. pcib2: ACPI PCI bus on pcib2 pcib2: domain=0, physical bus=2 Regards, atar. ___ 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: this 48-core box...
Hi. Not sure if you can use all cores. It has been and still is my experience that SM is crap. We have several SM gpu and SM/Calxeda Arm clusters and they really lack in may ways from ipmi to chassis management to the corners they cut with the processor to memory mappings. I would consider looking at SGI UV, ultraviolet system for a fat node type system but they are not cheap. We have plenty of those and they can build it the way you want. Lead time is a couple of months due to build to order. Support from SM sucks too. :) On Sep 17, 2013 12:17 PM, Michael Chen mich...@foxbatcapital.com wrote: I'm considering bidding on this 48-core box: http://www.ebay.com/itm/**Supermicro-A-Server-1042G-TF-** 1U-H8QG6-4-CPUS-48-cores-2-**2Ghz-128GB-RAM-/151119828428?** pt=COMP_EN_Servershash=**item232f7195cchttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-A-Server-1042G-TF-1U-H8QG6-4-CPUS-48-cores-2-2Ghz-128GB-RAM-/151119828428?pt=COMP_EN_Servershash=item232f7195cc Does anyone have experience with it and can I use all the cores?

I have one of those boards running 32 cores. You MUST run FreeBSD 9+ if you want access to more than 32 cores. Currently there is a bug in the stable/9 mfs drivers that do not allow you to boot from a RAID array. I believe a patch has been submitted. I have a copy of the patch and it works fine. I have had significant problems with ZFS under stable/9 however I haven't tried recent updates, rather I had to punt back to stable/8 (production machine). I have 22 3TB disks, 4 256GB SSDs, 256GB RAM, and 4x16 cores on my machine. I also have a 10GbE cardin my machine that runs fine. I DO NOT use the CD.

Forgot to mention: 1) My board is mounted in a SC848 Chassis and I use active cooling. 2) DO NOT run a chassis like the SC848 with the top off or the disks will overheat. :) On Tue, 17 Sep 2013, Michael Chen wrote: I'm considering bidding on this 48-core box: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-A-Server-1042G-TF-1U-H8QG6-4-CPUS-48-cores-2-2Ghz-128GB-RAM-/151119828428?pt=COMP_EN_Servershash=item232f7195cc Does anyone have experience with it and can I use all the cores?
