hanging process
Hi guys, I have a amd64 8.2-RELEASE box running on a core2duo 2.2 GHz Intel with 6GB of RAM (ddr2). Earlier today I started cvsup -g -L 2 -h `fastest_cvsup -q -c tld` /root/cvsup/kernel-supfile and at some point, my ISP had a problem and my ssh connection dropped. Since that point, the server has a really low response time (man top takes ~1 minute to display). Besides this, I can't even reboot and a shutdown -r now halts the system with some processes could not be killed message. I manually killed the hanging ssh session and also flushed the pf state, reloading the rules (pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf) but I have the same problem. CTRL+T after the reboot cmd shows: load: 0.00 cmd: reboot 61080 [zilog-zl_cv_writer)] 49.39r 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1216k but pretty much nothing happens. In the past, I had the same problem while running portmaster via ssh after my initial session dropped. It seems there is a hanging process but I cannot find it. Any help is appreciated. -- Best regards, Claudiu Vasadi ___ 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: Password theft from memory?
On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 9:24 PM, Modulok modu...@gmail.com wrote: I know that each process has its own private memory segment, but after a process exits, it nolonger owns that memory. What happens to it? If it's not zeroed out by my process, and it doesn't turn into pixie food, and it's not zeroed out by malloc... it still exists somewhere. If I understand this correctly, when a process exits, the kernel reclaims its address space and inserts it into its own address space (i.e. in a free list). At this point, the pages are NOT (yet) zeroed out, they're merely detached from the exiting process and attached to the kernel's free list. Optionally, they may be zeroed in some time in the future, when a special kernel thread pre-zeroes some pages there for faster allocation later. In any case, when a new process starts and tries to mmap(2) those pages, the kernel VM will lazily zero them out one by one upon first access by the process. So, unless you access /dev/kmem to read virtual kernel memory directly, you have NO way of getting access to the old data, even when it is not yet zeroed. And as long as the permissions on /dev/kmem are sensibly set, only privileged processes could access kernel virtual memory. Coming to think of it, there's another exception besides /dev/kmem: a kernel module runs with kernel privileges, and has access to the pages (of all processes, and of the kernel including those on the free list). But this is to be expected: a KLD becomes a part of the kernel when loaded. Maybe this would be best on hackers? -Modulok- -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ 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

Ongoing JRE support in FreeBSD?
I'm planning on setting up a machine to run a Java server app, and the OS candidates are CentOS or FreeBSD. I'd prefer FreeBSD, for reasons mostly involving ZFS and DTrace, but when I go to http://www.freebsd.org/java I notice that the binaries are certified with 6.x/7.x and the last entry in Newsflash is posted July 10 of 2010. This does not, on the surface, appear to be a vibrant and active project. That said, I see there are packages in the 8.2 RELEASE tree, so there's clearly some kind of work going on. I guess my question is, can I expect FreeBSD to be a solid platform for Java deployment going forward, or am I better off taking the road more traveled and deploying on Linux? -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny.

Sample of the output of #zpool status -v tank; tank/root:0x1097e7 tank/root:0x1096e8 tank/root:0x1097e8 tank/root:0x1096e9 tank/root:0x1097e9 tank/root:0x1095ea tank/root:0x1097ea tank/root:0x1096eb tank/root:0x1097eb tank/root:0x1096ec tank/root:0x1097ec tank/root:0x1095ed tank/root:0x1096ed tank/root:0x1097ed tank/root:0x1094ee tank/root:0x1096ee tank/root:0x1095ef Not sure what to do with these. Why doesn't #zpool clear tank delete these? The directory /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/work was not able to be deleted after the failed build, so I moved it to /oldwork to get the port to build. /oldwork still cannot be deleted. rainey# rm -Rf ./oldwork rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/dictionaries: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/lucene/unxfbsdx.pro/bin: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/lucene/unxfbsdx.pro/misc/build: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/lucene/unxfbsdx.pro/misc: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/lucene/unxfbsdx.pro: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/lucene: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/jfreereport: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/libxslt: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20/sal: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork/OOO330_m20: Directory not empty rm: ./oldwork: Directory not empty Attempts to delete the above directories fail. I've read articles about 'bit rot' and such in ZFS metadata but memtest86 completes without error on this machine's 3G of ram. I see no applicable information in dmesg or /var/log/messages. The drives have been running 24/7 since the initial incident with no increase in the error count.
