Re: NFSv2 Wrong FS Size
you could rebuild df to print its numbers as unsigned instead of signed. Just watch out if your local filesystems start eating into their 8% reserve, since they'll start reporting huge values. Or patch df to print local filesystem sizes as signed -- so that the reserve reporting still works -- and NFS as unsigned to match the spec. That works as long as you don't NFS-mount other FreeBSD systems with overfull drives :) Looking at this a little more closely, it appears that the struct statfs returned by statfs(2) and friends tells the whole story, using 64-bit values most of which are defined as unsigned. (Only f_bavail and f_ffree -- the number of blocks and inodes available to non-superusers -- are defined as signed.) The code that converts from the 32-bit NFSv2 to the 64-bit struct statfs values seems more likely to be somewhere in NFS than in df(1). ___ 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: OT: SVN checkout checksumming
I want to use SVN to automate the update process of a custom application. So, I'm planning to indicate to every PC to update periodically to a specific branch of the repository. The problem is that I need to be sure the files where not corrupted during the transfer. So, I'm planning to generate the hash (SHA or MD5, doesn't really matters) of every file downloaded by SVN on the client. For this to work, I need to compare the hashes with their server-side equivalent ... Do you need to mirror the entire branch, or only distribute the latest version?

MicroSloth usage of the terms is different and confuses people sometimes. As far as I know neither growfs(8) nor tunefs(8) can shrink the disk allocated to a partition. The only way is to dump each of the filesystems to some other reliable media (maybe tape or a large USB disk) and then repartition that slice to be the sizes you want.Use dump(8) to make the dumps and then check the dump files out before starting the repartitioning. First you have to build a filesystem on the USB drive. You should be able to use bsdlabel to create a single partition that covers the whole drive. But, if your FreeBSD or BIOS is old enough it might not go that big, so you will need to break it down in to smaller slices and make a partition in each. (I have had to do that. But if it is 7.xx it should not be necessary) To break it up, get the gparted utility. Download its boot image and use it to break up the USB disk in to slices that your FreeBSD will handle. You need to have it make all what it calls (in the MS way) Primary Partitions, but those are what are called slices in FreeBSD land. Don't get tempted to use gparted to shrink your ad0s1 slice because it will not work right. That will just trash the current partitions. It is not what you are looking for. Either if your FreeBSD will handle the whole USB or after you have it broken up, then build a partition on each slice of the USB using bsdlabel. Don't make it bootable or write a boot sector on it. Then run newfs(8) on it to make a filesystem. This bsdlabel and newfs can be done while the system is running. Then, take the system down and run the dumps.You can do the dumps from single user mode or boot a fixit image from the install CD. You will need to do the repartitioning and restore the dumps from the fixit anyway so you could just start there. Boot the machine from the fixit disk - create a 'holographic' image as they call it. Fixit is usually on disc1. Run the dumps. Lets say you are doing the dumps to a USB drive that comes up as /dev/da0 in the fixit boot and your current disk still is comes up with the name /dev/ad0 . First, make up mount points for all your filesystems that you want to dump plus for the filesystem[s] on the USB drive. NOTE: That the fixit runs from a memory resident filesystem so whatever you create there will disappear on boot. Anyway, skip dumping /tmp and /dev is a pretend filesystem. mkdir /oldroot mkdir /oldusr mkdir /oldvar mkdir /oldbkup mkdir /usbdrive (You can actually make the dumps from the devices rather than mounting them, but I have never gotten in to that habit) Mount those partitions mount /dev/ad0s1a /oldroot mount /dev/ad0s1d /oldusr mount /dev/ad0s1e /oldvar mount /dev/ad0s1g /oldbkup mount /dev/da0s1 /usbdrive(This device name might be different depending on how you make it. Some possibilities are: /dev/da0s1If you just newfs the slice without making a partition in it /dev/da0s1a If you make a slice with fdisk and a partition with bsdlabel /dev/da0aIf you make a partition with bsdlabel without making a slice Now do the dumps dump 0af /usbdrive/rootdump /oldroot dump 0af /usbdrive/usrdump /oldusr dump 0af /usbdrive/vardump /oldvar dump 0af /usbdrive/bkupdump /oldbkup This will take a while depending on media you use. By the way, to tape it would go to /dev/nsa0 rather than /usbdrive/oldroot, etc Once the dumps are done, you may want to reboot and mount that USB drive or read the tape and look at the dumps to make sure they can be read. Just a precaution. At least you will need to unmount all the partitions so bsdlabel can work on them Anyway, once you are happy with your dumps, then get back in to the fixit and use bsdlabel to rewrite the partitions. Just bsdlabel -e ad0s1 (You should not need to write a new boot block as this process should not touch that sector) Adjust the partitions as you see fit. Make partition 'a' start at offset of 0 and use a '*' for the rest of the offsets. bsdlabel will calculate them correctly. You can also make the size of the last partition be '*' and bsdlabel will put the remainder of the usable space in it.

The learning curve? That entirely depends on how comfortble you are with configuring applications on Unix/Linux servers in general. If you've never set up a web server, then it will take you some time to get things nailed down correctly. If you merely have not installed Apache before, as opposed to another web server, then it should not be difficult. All I can say is start from the bottom, and work your way up. Learn to configure mysql, next install and set up Apache, then get PHP installed. Last, read up on the rquirements for phplist, install the required PHP modules, and then finally phplist itself. The first time I set up phplist, I had a working setup in a couple of hours, which I then took a few days to test thoroughly. However, I did have several years of of apache/mysql/php setup and usage experience before that. All I can suggest is to jump in and start learning. All of these open source packages have great online docs, tutorials, and support communities to get you going.

Re: Multiple MAC on a single (physical) interface
Frédéric Perrin wrote: Hello, I live in a network where it is pretty much assumed that one machine == one MAC address == one IP address. Therefore, in order to play with jails, some having of course access to the network, I need to be able to send and receive using several MAC addresses, as if I had several NIC (which I of course don't have). I first describe the setup I have come up with, then ask the list a couple of questions. rl0 (my only physical interface) is made promiscous, and its otherwise fine configuration is not touched (it still has it MAC and IP address) : # ifconfig rl0 promisc Create a bridge, and attach it rl0 : # ifconfig bridge0 create # ifconfig bridge0 addm rl0 up Create 2 interfaces : the first one will be connected to the bridge, the other will be the one we really want to use. # ifconfig tap0 create # ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 up # ifconfig tap1 create Link tap0 to tap1, I have been using the br_select.c example that comme with the generic tap/tun driver on vtun.sf.net (basically, what it does is : @ open(/dev/tap0); open(/dev/tap1); @ for ever: @ if there is data in tap0, copy it to tap1 @ if there is data in tap1, copy it to tap0 @ end for Then, configure tap1 as wanted, as in : # ifconfig tap0 up ; ifconfig tap1 up # dhclient tap1 Then start a jail with the IP given to tap1, with a network service in it (sshd will do). Check that ssh'ing to the jail works. It should be possible to create use n tap devices, by doing : @ for ever: @ if there is data in tap0, copy it to tap1, ... tapn @ if there is data in tap1 or ... tapn, copy it to tap0 @ end for Also, while researching my problem, I see that it shouldn't be very hard to add hooks to rc.conf to automate all this process. Questions : It seems quite a convoluted setup (especially having to make a tunnel from tap0 to tap1 ... tapn). Is there an easier way ? Comments ? Yes, you could use a netgraph bridge to bridge several ethernet interfaces together. Luckily, there is also a pseudo-ethernet-like interface you can attach to this bridge and of course you get to treat the pseudo-ethernet as a regular ethernet interface, that is, change its MAC address. The process is described here: http://www.bsdatwork.com/2004/06/19/mac_spoofing_on_freebsd/ It's simple and an all-in-kernel solution.

RE: newsletter APP NOT listserve
The learning curve? That entirely depends on how comfortble you are with configuring applications on Unix/Linux servers in general. If you've never set up a web server, then it will take you some time to get things nailed down correctly. If you merely have not installed Apache before, as opposed to another web server, then it should not be difficult. All I can say is start from the bottom, and work your way up. Learn to configure mysql, next install and set up Apache, then get PHP installed. Last, read up on the rquirements for phplist, install the required PHP modules, and then finally phplist itself. The first time I set up phplist, I had a working setup in a couple of hours, which I then took a few days to test thoroughly. However, I did have several years of of apache/mysql/php setup and usage experience before that. All I can suggest is to jump in and start learning. All of these open source packages have great online docs, tutorials, and support communities to get you going. -- Geoff since this hosted server holds our website and database, my main concern is that i do not affect those existing configurations- a web developer created our site/shopping cart and cms and loaded it all on this VPS - i just don't want to someone to come to me and say hey our website is down or something to that affect ___ 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 think you should be able to do it with a combination of -prune and
-delete (or -exec rm -rf {} \; ) on a find command. Substitute your
other commands for rm -rf in the -exec above.

problem rsycing with remote dir
