Re: Can't get nForce4 SATA RAID working
Anyone can help me please? Original Message Hi guys! I hope you can help me with this, i've been at it for hours now. I want to use my RAID array (striping or mirroring) for FreeBSD. But the problem is: it doesn't work properly. My config: Asrock K8NF4G-SATA2 - nVidia GeForce 6100 chipset - nVidia nForce 410 MCP - Socket 939 2 * Hitachi 160GB SATA drives My problem: when i boot with FreeBSD 6.0-i386 i get: pci0: mass storage, RAID at device 14.0 (no driver attached) when i boot with FreeBSD 6.1-beta3-i386, after seeing ad4 the system gets locked. When i boot in Safe Mode, it succesfully boots but i do see: ad4: 157066MB Hitachi blablabla at ata2-master SATA150 stray irq7 ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost. RAID1 array in DEGRADED mode ar0: 157066MB nVidia Mediashield RAID1 status: DEGRADED ar0: disk0 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar0: disk1 READY using ad4 at ata2-master It's not degraded though, it just does not detect the second disk. Instead, the message stray irq7 gets printed. I think something is going wrong here, a small bug, which prevents from detecting BOTH drives. According to ataraid manpage, the nForce4 MediaShield onboard RAID driver should be supported. Could this be a bug in FreeBSD? I have tested TWO mainboards (same type) and two different HDDs (maxtor/hitachi) and different SATA cables. In Windows the RAID array works fine! So this *really* must be a software issue. The only thing i haven't tried yet is updating my BIOS. Anyone has any suggestions?

LSI MegaRaid, for example, show up as amrd0. (You may see the individual disks and then some mention of them being RAIDed, or you may just see the RAID - it depends on the controller). If the controller is supported, then it should just work, but unless there is a CLI which works for FreeBSD then you won't be able to do things like rebuild the RAID from within FreeBSD, only from its BIOS. It looks like the controller is supported by the aac driver so check the manpage for that.

Network bridge with IPFW, can't get it working
Here's the situation: I work at a computer repair shop, as we all know viruses, ad-ware and other mal-ware is a huge problem in the windows world, and a lot of people come to us to have their pc's cleaned up. Some of those programs spread themselves actively, or are used as zombie computers, which is somewhat of a problem for us because it can infect other PCs on the net, also our ISP (temporarily) shut us down some time ago for security reasons. We have a firewall on our router, but it only blocks incoming traffic from the net, which makes life a bit easyer because we don't have to open up ports for all kind of programs all the time. Since we more or less need internet on infected PC's (to download virus-scanners, updates, etc.), I'm trying to setup a bridge with a firewall (IPFW), which should separate filter any bad traffic before it goes to the internet. Problem is, it doesn't work(which is secure, but not quite what I intended). The bridge works fine, if I shut down IPFW (or tell IPFW to allow everything) I have network access, so no problems there... If I scan for DHCP servers, It finds the server and DNS, but doesn't get an IP-adress (?!) for some reason, no matter what I do... My rc.firewall is attached, I made it as simple as possible, complexity and spiffy features can always be added later, let's get the thing working first... I would really appreciate it if someone looked over it, there are probably errors in there. What the REAL problem is, is that I'm a real novice at firewalls, and some things really confuse me, more specifically: - The 'bridged' keyword, does it HAVE to be added to every rule? or is it just recommended? or just specific rules? - Which ports do I need to open? I think I have all I need now (DHCP, DNS, http, https, ping), maybe there's some hidden port I forgot? - Should I use PF? (Is it easyer for a novice?) - Should I just setup a separate LAN? Bridging seems simpler, but doesn't seem to be very common/well documented... I don't think it matters, but just in case: I'm using two 3Com 3C905B-TX NIC's (xl) My uname -a is: FreeBSD filtershit.ictwerkplaats.org 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Feb 22 12:47:58 UTC 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FILTERSHIT i387 rc.firewall Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I do 'ps axvf' and sum up the memory columns, I get RSS=1.5GB and VSZ=1.9GB (approximately). With Apache stopped, it goes down to RSS=0.5GB and VSZ=0.6G -- but Inactive Memory remains above 2.5GB. Is it a memory leak somewhere or what?

Dump/snapshot problems
Hi people, Sometimes I have strange problems with dump -- or, rather, with snapshot it makes.

Re: Strange memory problems
With Apache stopped, it goes down to RSS=0.5GB and VSZ=0.6G -- but Inactive Memory remains above 2.5GB. Is it a memory leak somewhere or what? That looks quite normal to me, apart from the zombie process. FreeBSD always attempts to occupy most of the RAM, because it's a very fast way of saving information, and after all a lot of RAM is of no use if there's nothing in it. So long as no other program needs it for more important information, there's nothing wrong with keeping a lot of unimportant stuff around in case it is needed again quickly. Ok, that's nice. However, I was concerned not so much with low Free memory as with Act+Inact being 1.5-4 times greater than size of running processes. What data is there, exactly? I don't think it has more than 1GB of unsynced disk writes? Also, a more general question: how do I estimate 'real' memory load? Sum(RSS) + 0.5*DiskCache ? For example, I would like to know (in advance) e.g. how many Apache processes we can handle before memory becomes a problem. Do you think it would be nice if top(1) could give some consolidated measure -- probably taking into account usage statistics and/or response time? Or at least two measures -- e.g. How much memory can be allocated off-hand without any disk I/O and How much memory can be allocated so that swapped data would not have to be re-read again in reasonable time?

However, it seems that portupgrade does not uninstall and re-compile if the dependant ports have not changed (ie the folder containing the ports make file and patches), it only recompiles parts of the tree that have been upgraded, and are linked via portupgrade -rR. It would be nice if portupgrade had a flag to do that (that is if my logic is correct). It would be nice if ports forked the way src does. Then I could just track bugfixes and security issues.

Getting EBUSY upon unmount ATA disk...
(originally sent to freebsd-fs, but that looks like a developer list). I am running FreeBSD-5.4 with root on md0. I am seeing the following problem: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md0 17370 15810 17299%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/md1369416 3384 0%/var /dev/md2 31470 8 28946 0%/tmp /dev/md3.uzipc 20808 18890 25499%/usr # mount /dev/ad0s1a /flash # : /flash/foobar # umount /flash umount: unmount of /flash failed: Device busy Waiting doesn't help. I can repeat the unmount command after a time and it still reports EBUSY. ad0 is a SanDisk Compact Flash card. So far I've traced the unmount op to ffs_flushfiles() in ffs_vfsops.c: /* * Flush all the files. */ if ((error = vflush(mp, 0, flags, td)) != 0) return (error); Still trying to track it down, but I'm not an fs guy and so I'm asking for a little help. Some more background: My system uses a Compact Flash card to store configuration information. It's seldom accessed and it would be nice to support controlled removing/replacing during operation. It looks like it is possible using atacontrol to detach the channel and then reattach when the card is inserted. I can: insert, attach, mount, read, umount, remove all day long without problems. But now as soon as I do one write the drive doesn't want to unmount. No processes are camping on the mount point. manually typing sync doesn't help. unmount -f succeeds. I hope someone can advise me.

Re: To track or not to track
Chris Maness wrote: I just wanted to get pros and cons for tracking the whole port tree on a production server. Any opinions? If by track you mean regularly download, compile and install all available updates, the big con is that you can sometimes break your box. More frequently you won't break anything but may need to spend considerable time babysitting the process, often needlessly since many updates are for features you'll never use. Tracking updates aggressively is a job for a dedicated build/test server that makes packages and dishes them out on demand, as needed (via NFS, rsync or your favorite sync method) first to other test servers and then to production servers.This way production boxes only get tested updates, on your schedule, for your reasons. You can best follow the not broke, don't fix credo by regularly doing cvsup (in case an upgrade is suddenly required), but only doing updates on production servers when: * there is an official FreeBSD security alert * portaudit throws a fit based on one or more of your installed port versions * some business requirement of yours creates a definitive need to have the latest version of something -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Newbie FreeBSD/Linux Question
Hi! I am a newbie trying to compile the program JACK that is required for the midi sequencer Rosegarden. This program (JACK) is not available through the ports collection and is intended for a Linux system. I am running FreeBSD 5.4 with linux compatibility supported. Below is is the readme file for JACK and I have chosen to follow the second option. I have created the /mnt/ramfs directory and edited my /etc/stab file as directed. What I don't understand is the last instruction of the second option listed below, the line that says, add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line when you build it. I tried make --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs and received a message informing me that this is not correct Make syntax. Am I supposed to edit the config file(s) that accompany the source code? If so, which one(s), config.h.in, configure, configure.ac or one of the files in the config directory of this package? This is probably a very simple matter, but I have googled around and cannot find an answer. Any comments, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lawrence JACK README Welcome to JACK, the Jack Audio Connection Kit. Please see the website (http://jackit.sf.net/) for more information. NOTE: If you are using reiserfs or ext3fs or anything except ext2fs for the directory where JACK puts its temporary files (/tmp by default), then the JACK team recommends that you do *one* of the following: Mount a tmpfs on /tmp. You should have a lot of swap space available in case some programs try to write very large files there. In your /etc/fstab add a line: none/tmptmpfs defaults0 0 You'll probably want to reboot here, or kill X then 'mount /tmp'. OR Alternatively, you can do this without affecting your /tmp: # mkdir /mnt/ramfs [edit /etc/fstab and add the following line] none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled. -- Failure to do one of these could lead to extremely poor performance from JACK, since its normal operation will cause bursts of disk I/O that are completely unnecessary. This suggestion can also be used by ext2fs users if they wish. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please see the website (http://jackit.sf.net/) for more information. NOTE: If you are using reiserfs or ext3fs or anything except ext2fs for the directory where JACK puts its temporary files (/tmp by default), then the JACK team recommends that you do *one* of the following: Mount a tmpfs on /tmp. You should have a lot of swap space available in case some programs try to write very large files there. In your /etc/fstab add a line: none/tmptmpfs defaults0 0 You'll probably want to reboot here, or kill X then 'mount /tmp'. OR Alternatively, you can do this without affecting your /tmp: # mkdir /mnt/ramfs [edit /etc/fstab and add the following line] none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled. -- Failure to do one of these could lead to extremely poor performance from JACK, since its normal operation will cause bursts of disk I/O that are completely unnecessary.

Re: coming back up after power failure (UPS)
Peter, Look in the bios in the power management section, for something like after loss of power, there set the action to power on, as opposed to stay off, or anything else. You can test this just power on the unit and pull the plug during the bios post. If it comes back on when you plug it back in, you have it right.

Re: dhclient in 6.0
I had the same problem. Mine was with a wireless card, so my exact fix is probably not yours but this may point the way. I had to load a driver not autoloaded in 6.0 (wlan_wep.ko) and add an extra parm to the ifconfig: old: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey key string new: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey key string deftxkey 1 From reading of the ifconfig man page I thought that was the default. Many thanks to Robert Watson for the right answer. I did not have a dhclient.conf in 5.3 or 6.0. In general - it may not be dhclient, you may need an addition module or some additional setting on the ifconfig for your card. In my case I think I got an error about the missing module. I hope this helps.

Re: Newbie FreeBSD/Linux Question

This program (JACK) is not available through the ports collection and is intended for a Linux system. I am Perhaps I'm not understanding the whole scenario, but are you trying to compile it BSD native, or compile and run it in Linux compatibility mode? If you're trying to use Linux compatibility mode, you need to make sure your session is really running in that mode. It's been a year+ since I tried it, but it wasn't real obvious in the handbook IIRC. You need to get a shell running in Linux mode first; that gets the union file system going, so the stuff in /compat/linux is overlayed on the root filesystem. The uname command is probably the most simple confirmation, eg: $ uname -a FreeBSD meddle.xxiii.com 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #8: Tue Jul 26 13:28:17 EDT 2005 $ ls /compat/linux/bin basenamedateksh pwd stty bashdd ln rm sync bash2 echols rmdir touch chgrp egrep mkdir rpm true chmod false mknod setserial uname chown fgrep mv sh cp grepnicesleep $ /compat/linux/bin/bash bash-2.04$ uname -a Linux meddle.xxiii.com 2.4.2 FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #8: Tue Jul 26 13:28:17 EDT 2005 Once you have an executable running in compatibility mode (the shell in this case), it will search the directory in /compat/linux first, and failing that look in the real root system. So if you type make and the first directory in your path is /usr/bin, it really looks in /compat/linux/usr/bin first, then the real /usr/bin. I doubt the standard Linux mode on FBSD has all the stuff to compile link native Linux code, however. Hope I'm not re-stating the obvious, but once I figured this out, the compatibility mode made a BUNCH more sense. -Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Talk to whoever broke slib-guile and get them to fix it :-) the breakage seems to be in guile, with a partial slib implementation in guile impeding functionality in the real slib... other scheme implementations are perfectly happy with the upgraded slib. :) I've used pkg_add -r to install slib-3a1_2 and slib-guile-3a1 and then tried to portinstall g-wrap, but that failed. So I used pkg_add to install g-wrap-1.3.4_7 and then I was able to portinstall gnucash. However, when I try and run gnucash it fails with the following messages: ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: libgw-glib, message: Shared object \libglib12.so.3\ not found, required by \libgw-glib.so\ I've a feeling that libgw-glib was also mentioned in the error when I tried to portinstall g-wrap. Any ideas what I can do now? Talk to the software developers (e.g. slib) and get the responsible person to fix it. Kris pgpXHqE7SPCNm.pgp Description: PGP signature

Mike, Please don't disable the ability to run this as a non-root user. I've managed to get it to run by chowning it's config, files under /var/db and the entire ports collection to an update user. Now I can run portmanager -s and it will give me an accurate run-down of what upgrades are needed. I can also then download updates as a restricted user. Changing to root will allow me to update as I need to, and as long as the src is cleaned up, no files owned by root are left behind in the ports tree. This actually works quite nicely. Thanks, Frank For the next few months I have no access to a FreeBSD system so won't be changing anything. Portmanager has no internal mechanisms for checking ownership, I think that so long as whoever has write access to everything in /usr/local/share/portmanager should be able to run it no problem. So if you want to change who can run it besides root just change the permisions of the files in that directory. I do have a change at home that moves the data bases to /var/db/portmanager so if that ever gets posted things will change slightly, it may never be posted though if no one takes over maintainership before I return. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/dev/cuaa gone in 6.0?? /dev/console doesn't work...
Hi, I'm trying to secure our cisco router by hooking its console to a freebsd 6.0 box. I was reading this document: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/10/11/FreeBSD_Basics.html It seems like /dev/cuaaN has been replaced by /dev/console. On my 6.0 box, I can't seem to find /dev/cuaaN... I tried using /dev/console instead and I got the same response Connected but it hangs... I can't do anything. The command I used was cu -l /dev/console -s 9600. On an older box (4.11) I used cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 and it worked. I got the login prompt of our router. If ever I would make everything work... does this mean that only one user can connect to our router or does freebsd have some sort of pseudo consoles???
