Changes in Jails from FreeBSD 6 to FreeBSD 9 -- particularly, networking and routing
Hi All OK, so I have a server that has been running FreeBSD 6.1 and a bunch of jails, providing a few limited services. I am migrating these from real hardware and FreeBSD 6.1 with jail running, to a Xen based VPS running FreeBSD 9.0-R with a kernel rebuild from a GENERIC kernel to GENERIC plus the Xen pci device. There is one network device on the new server and it shares all addresses and the default route goes out it. Because jails in FBSD 6 shared a network stack, I could have a public network x.x.x.0/24 and public address on the host machine, and a default route in that network as well, and use a 192.168.1.0/24 address aliased on the same network interface as the IP for my jail. When doing that, from inside the jail, I could still reach the internet since it shared the route with the underlying machine. That seems to have changed on FBSD 9. Now, if I add in the 192.168.1.0/24 address and run a jail on it, with the host machine in a public network/address/route as described above, from inside the jail I CANNOT reach the internet (it is not a resolver issue as services going to numeric addresses also fail). However, the jail with the private 192.168.1.0/24 address CAN reach the host machines services even if it cannot get out onto the internet. And the HOST machine can access services on the jail running on the private IP address. (The purpose of the jail is to provide services to other jails and hosts on the same public network [all VPS on the same public vlan] and NOT to provide services to the internet. Things like local ldap or a local dns etc. But the private jail still needs to reach the internet for things like name servers it needs to access that are outside of the public network the host lives in. So I don't care if the internet itself can reach the private jail, just the local jails and hosts it co-exists with. The answer shouldn't be natd etc (was not needed in 6.0 and I am not sharing one public address with a range of private jails behind it). If I launch the jail with an address from the same public range as the host, it works fine. The jail can access the internet fine and vice versa. The host can access the jail services as well. If I launch the jail with a private address, the jail cannot reach the internet. It can reach the host in the public network, but not other machines in the same public network (ie, the other VPS I have running which are all in the same public network). If I launch the jail with both a private address and a public address, it can reach the internet and other VPS on the same public network. I may have to end up doing that and just not having any services run on the public IP but I'd rather avoid using up an address like that. What changes happened in the jails between FBSD 6 and FBSD 9 that would give the symptoms I have been experiencing?

Re: Changes in Jails from FreeBSD 6 to FreeBSD 9 -- particularly, networking and routing
Do I understand this right? Working in FreeBSD 6.x: interface em0: 1.2.3.4/24 -- public IP, host only 192.168.1.1/24 -- private IP, host only 192.168.1.2/24 -- Jail #1 192.168.1.3/24 -- Jail #2 With this configuration you had no problems accessing the internet from the jails. Is this correct? This seems bizarre; this should only be possible if you're doing NAT somewhere in there and that is not possible with Jails v1 (which share a network stack) and is only possible in Jails v2 (vnet). ___ 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

No NAT needed since they share the network stack under Jails v1 they share the routing tables. It works. Try it. The question is, is it possible to do something similar with FreeBSD 9 jails (v2 I guess) without the overhead of running NAT?

You're clearly exploiting a bug in FreeBSD 6's jails. It must get confused and send your public IP on those packets. I have no idea how it processes the return traffic successfully, but that's a neat trick!. There is no possible way for this to work without NAT or whatever bug this is. If a Jail has a 192.168 IP all packets would leave with a source of 192.168. When Google or whoever on the internet gets your packets it would see 192.168 and probably drop it because that's not a publicly routable network. Without NAT it's impossible for any device anywhere on the planet to access the internet with an RFC 1918 IP address. I urge you to share your experience on the freebsd-jail@ mailing list. Those guys might be able to lend some further insight. I bet the change came with the update to jails that allows multiple IPs. ___ 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

However, as I said, gvinum is slow. I also run graid5 and some say it is pretty stable. I've been running it for a year on a non-production server and it works for me, but haven't seen it in action, when a drive fails or something. It is fast, though.

However, as I said, gvinum is slow. I also run graid5 and some say it is pretty same for me. it works and works fast. but still - small writes WILL be slow as it's RAID5 because of this i don't have much uses for it, as in most cases today drive's capacities are much larger than amount of data that has to be protected. so i use gmirror most often stable.

I'd like to see graid5 in the base system but I'm also one of those who sort-of held it back from being imported, at least by inaction. The reasons are: a) Last time there was discussion about including it (it's available somewhere in the freebsd-geom list archives) an issue was raised about its over-aggressive use of caching that is turned *on* by default. IIRC it's also likely that the design of the current code doesn't allow turning it off. I suppose this is what makes it fast but the concerns for data stability / corruption are real and not imaginary. b) It was developed by a non-developer. This in itself says nothing about the quality or the lack of quality of the code and is technically irrelevant but there are couple of organizational issues: 1) it needs someone to look after it when it's imported 2) it needs to conform to the style and code layout rules of the project I can't find the patch right now so I can't say for sure what is its state now. I believe that if issues a) and b.2) are solved there would be no problems or objections in importing it.

FreeBSD 6 and 'mailman' Issues
I've installed mailman from both the current ports and packages and noted a common problem. It seems that after a clean install, sometime later, permissions are getting changed on its directory tree. In going through the various /etc/periodic entries, I don't see where this is getting done. There is some very brief discussion of this in the mailman docs, but I'm still slightly confused. So..., I guess the question is, how to do I install mailman such that check_perms does not grumble about things like this: directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing.mbox directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing/2007-August directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/lists/testing Problems found: 4 Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix Do I need to install mailman with some special flag set or is there a way to keep whatever is doing this from clobbering the permissions?

If you desperately need it now, you'll have to partake of the adventure that is running -current. If you can wait a while, I'd recommend waiting for the release, especially if this is a production server. mfs sounds like it would definitely not work very well for your use case. Have you tried playing with filesystem options such as mounting a disk-based /tmp async (with softupdates DISABLED) to see if it helps any? Won't be as fast as tmpfs, but with some tuning you might be able to get it to acceptable levels in the interim.

Problem accentued and special character freeBSD 6
Hello, I have a problem with the accentued and special characters. When I set the variable environnement with fr_FR.IOS8859-1 or fr_CH.ISO8859-1 or If I set these charsets in the /etc/cshrc.login. The normal character work great, but when I try to use an accentued character in my terminal or in my mysql DB, by example 'é', the character 'a' appear in the place of all accentued characters... I use the swiss french accentued keyboard in my rc.conf. I don't need these characters in console, but I need it in my MySQL. I have also tried to set latin1 and utf-8 charset in my.cnf, but the problem is the same. Could someone help me with this strange problem pleae ?

nforce 4 sata and freebsd 6
I noticed one of my servers works much better in freebsd 5 noticeably it is faster and more stable. I then found this post. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-May/050529.html and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=75540 So in freebsd 5.x there was limited nforce 4 support for pata devices and a patch made to support sata devices, so I checked the same file on freebsd 6.2 and there is no reference to ATA_NFORCE4 at all in the file, checked 5.4 and sure enough its there. So my question is why did ata-chipset.c in 2004 have some support for nforce4 and a patch in current which I think was 6.x at the time have support for sata and now nforce4 is completely wiped in 6.x? Was it not stable and scrapped for timescale to release or some other reason? nforce4 is a fairly popular chipset. My 150 sata hd is running in some sort of compatibility mode now as a result of the lack of a driver.

Problem with ICH4 fxp driver and FreeBSD 6
Hi all, I am encountering a strange problem compiling a kernel for a MS-6557 mainboard (a Hermes 845GV) with Intel845GV Chipset. Everything is OK with the GENERIC 6.0 Kernel; but as soon as I install a self compiled kernel (6.0 or 6.1), I get fxp driver timeouts. On loading the if_fxp.ko module (+miibus.ko) the driver is recognised and the interface is configured correctly, but as soon as network traffic is generated, I get the fxp driver timeout message (and hence bo network connectivity ;-( No other error messages apear and every other bit of hardware seems to be recognised and ok. I suspect resource problems (like IRQ), but I am vague about PCI and IRQ settings. I have tried a kernel with all unneccessary hardware deactivated (usb, firewire) but to no avail. Can anyone give me some hints, about how to get about? I am glad to give detailed information about kernel and system configuration.

Freebsd 6-Stable lockups
Hi all, I have a kind of anoying problem at the moment. A system I run keeps radomly freezing/locking up. This can be anywhere from 2 hours to a week after the last reboot/lockup. The only fix its to power cycleit. It isnt kernel panicing, it just locks. Even accessing via serial doent work. I have changed all the hardware so the issue is unlikely to be there. The load on the box isnt all that high and the memory usage looks fine (all rrded). The box is running quite a lot of services (apache, mysql,exim. spamassasing, clamav, courier, openvpn, zebra). Usually all these services, apart from openvpn and zebra, run in a jail. I dont think this is an issue as the machine still freezes if i run them non jailed. Deactivating all these services apart from openvpn and zebra (needed for monitoring), seems to fix the problem from what I can see so im fairly sure the problem lies in these somewhere. However can anoyone suggest I way i can easily pinpoint the problem other that stepping though each app, as this would take an age to perform and be very tedious. The system has been rebuilt from src (make world) several times, and I have dont a portupgrade -a. All the local installations were done from ports.

Hi Chris, I've noticed the same on three of my FreeBSD 6 systems, until now I haven't found any clue on this.

FreeBSD 6 freeze
Hi, I've recently tried to install FreeBSD 6.1 with a custom kernel that comprises support for PF and ALTQ, but is basicly a copy of the GENERIC kernel shipped with the install CD. I also ran CVSup to get the newest release of the source that stated after compilation that it would like to be called 6.2 prerelease. After heading to user applications like apache, mysql, isc-dhcpd, samba and postfix, I noticed when I came back my screensaver had stalled and the pc wouldn't respond to any inputs anymore. It was a complete lockup and before this install with FreeBSD 4 and FreeBSD 5 I never had this problem on this box. In the mean while I've tried my install with two other boxes and both of them ended up having the same failure. I've posted a thread on bsdforums regarding this matter with my kernel config and some of my logfiles attached, to be found here: http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38765.

FreeBSD 6-STABLE as guest in VMWare Player on Winxp host

Try the same strace on 5.X and then diff the two to see what ought to have been happening - that may give some clue as to what is actually going wrong. As for USB keyboards + 5.5 - on 5.4 there was an install boot option boot with USB keyboard or somesuch. Don't know if that's still there with 5.5, but it sounds like you have a 5.4 CD so you could try that. The problem *may* be that 5.X doesn't support your USB chipset, of course - no idea how likely that is. Also search the BIOS for any USB related options and try fiddling with them! You don't mention the model of Dell, but you could try a google for the model + freebsd. Searching the mailing list archives (or just plain google) for USB keyboard should turn up some stuff as well - possibly far too much! Final thought - what about postfix-21?

FreeBSD 6.X and postfix/postmap - corrupt maps
Hi there,
I am unable to use the 'postmap' program under 6.0- or 6.1-RELEASE.
Instead of building a valid hash map, it puts in various data from what
appears to be my /etc/master.passwd file, complete with crypted
password. I believe that this is some type of a library issue.
I'm doing this with postfix-2.3.2 downloaded right off the website, but
the same happened with earlier releases, as well as an install from the
ports.
As an example, I use the file 'transport' which contains
# cat /etc/postfix/transport
* smtp:[192.168.0.1]:25
The syntax is correct as I use it on 5.4 and 5.5 boxes (I've had to
downgrade to that to be able to use postfix).
# uname -a
FreeBSD some.host.name 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Jul 14
13:43:37 EDT 2006 darek@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SOME_KERNEL i386
# /usr/sbin/postmap transport
On a system where postmap works fine, this is what I get:
# strings /etc/postfix/transport
* smtp:[192.168.22.29]:25
Please scroll down to APPENDIX_1 to see the 'strings' output on a 6.1
box. I tried this on 6.0 and 6.1 installed on a number of different
machines, all with the same result, so I don't think that this is a
memory or hardware issue. I also tried this on 6.x, 4.10, 4.11, 5.4 and
5.5 on the same system, and only the 6.x installs failed in this way.
Also, scroll down to APPENDIX_2 for an strace of the postmap execution.
You will note that the open, read, and write calls often have weird info
in them (I believe the filename part), with parts of strings, and random
characters, like 'open(ÿ'
I got a couple USB-only Dell towers for my SMTP boxes, and FreeBSD below
6 doesn't recognize the keyboard during install. So I'm forced to use
6.x with these. Unless someone knows how to use a USB keyboard in 5.5
installs...
Thanks.

Re: FreeBSD 6 Hard Lock no logs
First look for the obvious problems like low disk or swap space. If these are OK, you might need to run a script that logs various things and sift through it. I would suggest writing a shell script that sleeps for say 30 to 60 seconds, then opens a log file and does ps -ax and some other echo to give separation and see what is running, then closes the file and sleeps again. Obviously you will only be interested in the last couple of entries in this file. -Derek At 01:19 PM 7/25/2006, Rob Connon (Info) wrote: Hi, I have a web/mail server thats running the lastest version of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p9 #4.

FreeBSD 6: open(/dev/lpt0, O_WRONLY) hangup fixed
I've solved my /dev/lpt0 problem. Here is what happened: 1. I observed that the problem is also happening on FreeBSD 6.0. 2. It isn't happening on 5.3. 3. I sprinkled some printf's into lptopen in sys/dev/ppbus/lpt.c. 4. I compiled a new kernel, stripping a whole bunch of stuff out of the generic kernel. The problem went away. 5. I went back to the original lpt.c. Still working. 6. I compiled another kernel, adding device plip back in. The problem came back. So the problem, whatever it is, seems to involve an interaction between printing and plip. Since I have printing working again, debugging the problem is no longer a high priority for me. But if anyone has some suggestions for debugging, I would be happy to try them this weekend. Am I the only dinosaur still using a parallel port printer? It seems incredible to me that no one else using 6.0/6.1 could have encountered this problem. Even though I have fixed the problem, it should probably be debugged properly, unless there's sentiment for removing device plip from the generic kernel. -- George Mitchell ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Compatible bottom end ibm servers with freebsd 6
Hello all, We have a client who is looking to buy a bottom end ibm server. Can anyone verify if they have freebsd 6 running on any of the following or similar? I'm guessing the issues would be with things like SERIAL ATA - INTEGRATED, RAID 0 1 ONBOARD type controllers and the like if any. Any success with xSeries x100, x206m, x226, x306M? If someone gives me a green light for these or any other similar ibms, that would be great.

Altough I can't say for sure yet, this doesn't *seem* to happen if I lower my mouse DPI to 800 (I use 2000). Since the keyboard starts outputting rubbish (probably a overflow somewhere, as someone suggested), coupled with the fact that this doesn't seem to happen @ 800 DPIs, it probably points to a problem on the usb mouse driver, while handling a large amount of data ?

Re: A really really weird problem with FreeBSD 6..

However, as of lately, I've been running into a very annoying problem. I'll try to explain: I play some OpenGL games on FreeBSD and have always played them without trouble. However, now I can't play my game of election (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) for more than 20 or 30 minutes. The same thing is happening over and over (and this is the weird part): The game will stop responding to most keys, and the ones that do respond, output rubbish characters. The mouse dies. I can CTRL-ALT-F1, login, and kill the game - the keyboard works on the console! Then I get back to KDE (CTRL-ALT-F2). The keyboard is useless at this point, as typing something will result in something else. The mouse moves, but I can't maximise windows (seems to ignore double click) and stuff. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and logging in again solves the problem. Now, the only thing that I've changed in the last month was a new piece of hardware - a Logitech G5 mouse (connected via USB). After giving it some thought, this problem started a few days after I purchased the mouse. I can't see how this could be related to what is happening with me, but it's the only thing I remind changing. I was running 6.0-RELEASE-p5, and have upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE and xorg-6.9.0, kde-3.5.1, in the hopes that it would probably fix this. Unfortunately, the situation remains. Has anyone experienced a similar problem at all ? I didn't even try google as I have no idea of what I'm after.. Sounds like some kind of buffer overrun problem, some memory allocation problem in the driver(?) JK I thought about something like this too, but what I can't explain is why it only started happening when I got the new mouse (and most likely after the usb0: host controller process error error, altough I can't say for sure - and if this was the cause, howcome it persists across reboots? I never got the error anymore (ok.. maybe 1 time).). There isn't a special driver for this mouse, and the previous one was also detected as ums0 (a Logitech MX 700). I am 100% sure that I didn't touch any configuration at all, anywhere, when this started to happen. Thoughts, ideas, maybe someone who's been through the same, altough I find it highly unlikely ?

FreeBSD 6.x problems with IDE drives
Greetings, I've a motherboard and disk drive that have been running on older versions of FreeBSD for quite a while, reliably. Recently, I moved to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (and lately to 6.1-RELEASE, but it didn't help), and the system periodically shows: ad4: FAILURE - device detached This is likely to happen under heavy I/O load (the machine serves a few dozen virtual websites, averaging 15 Mb/s sustained). Then the machine will eventually reboot. The motherboard is an MSI with an AMD 1.3 GHz CPU and 1.25GB of RAM, it has two IDE controllers, a VIA 8235, and a Promise (I can't access the machine right now to get the exact model number). The problem happens the same with either controller. I tried both UDMA100 and PIO4 modes, no difference. SMART reports a healthy drive, and as mentioned before, it didn't have problems with older versions of FreeBSD (5.4-RELEASE to be precise) and under similarly heavy load. The IDE cable was replaced, just in case, but again, no difference. Any ideas? -jav ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
