You might try putting the port's name in question into the body of

hanging process

2011-05-01 Thread claudiu vasadi
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.

Monthly Login Accounting Report - What do the numbers mean?

 Doing login accounting:
total  726.98
aimass 508.96
cctun  216.80
cmm  0.84
delco0.37
hugo 0.01


What do these numbers mean? Is it login times? How can you login 0.01
times??? I know for a fact that in April hugo logged in exactly 1 time
to do an scp of a large file. Are these numbers percentages ? guess
not because there would be no total!

Re: Password theft from memory?

2011-05-01 Thread C. P. Ghost
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?

nvidia-driver-173 doesn't work on amd64. If that's your issue then you
may be better-off with the i386 version of FreeBSD.

FreeBSD 8.x added the kernel features require by nvidia before they
would implement a 64-bit version, but nvidia-driver-173 was already a
legacy driver at that point.

Ongoing JRE support in FreeBSD?

2011-05-01 Thread Dave Pooser
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?

Unless you're willing to use OpenJDK, Linux is better option.  The native
JDK runs fine under 8, but it's patchset is severely out of date.

OpenJDK has improved a lot and is a good substitute for me, but you may wish
to check into it's suitability for your use.

ugen device continuously disconnects after upgrade to 8.1

2011-05-01 Thread freebsd

Hello,

Not sure if this list is correct, or if I should post to freebsd-usb?

Anyway, I have a USB connected UPS device that shows as /dev/ugen1.2 and is 
identified by usbconfig:

ugen1.2: CP425HG CPS at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps) pwr=ON

The device continuously disconnects an re-enumerates, as shown in 
/var/log/messages:

May  1 14:36:57 epicenter root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0764 product 
0x0501 bus uhub1
May  1 14:36:57 epicenter kernel: ugen1.2: CPS at usbus1
May  1 14:37:19 epicenter kernel: ugen1.2: CPS at usbus1 (disconnected)
May  1 14:37:22 epicenter root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0764 product 
0x0501 bus uhub1
May  1 14:37:22 epicenter kernel: ugen1.2: CPS at usbus1

I had this problem before in 7.1, but it was corrected in upgrading to 7.3.

Now that I've upgraded to 8.1 the problem is back.

The device is listed in the device quirks:

epicenter# usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_device_quirks | grep 0x0764
VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x REVHI=0x QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE

Lack of the UQ_HID_IGNORE is what messed up 7.1, not sure what is keeping 8.1 
from identifying this device.

Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

Thank You!

Create a file ~/.login and put your commands (in sh syntax,
not csh) there. This file will only be executed at interactive
logins. See man csh, section FILES for details.

I'm sure the login shell has to be defined by the system,
usually by the /etc/passwd file, field shell; therefore
see man 5 passwd.



 Or conversely:

I don't think so, but it should work fine when you move
the commands out of the shell configuration file (which
is also read by script shells AND interactive shells) to
the login startup file (which is only executed if the
shell is an interactive login shell).

Sorry, wrote before thinking. :-)

Of course ~/.login is csh syntax, as I would guess after
(missed to) read the file's header which states:

# .login - csh login script, read by login shell, after `.cshrc' at login.
# see also csh(1), environ(7).

So simply moving your commands from .cshrc to .login
should be fully sufficient.

freebsd zfs question

2011-05-01 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

A week or so ago I experienced an error trying to compile openoffice.org 
from ports.  The build failed from an error I was since able to resolve.
This machine is at #uname -r rainey 8.2-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 
8.2-RELEASE-p1 #2: Wed Apr 27 04:37:38 UTC 2011 
michael@rainey:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL_042511  amd64
During that episode the workstation locked up and the only way to 
recover was to do a hard reset (power off).  I then noticed during the 
next weekly scrub that I had increasing errors listed for the root pool 
during that particular scrub;


# zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
entire pool from backup.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A
 scrub: none requested
config:

NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tankONLINE   0 0 0
  ad2p3 ONLINE   0 0 0
  ad3p1 ONLINE   0 0 0

errors: 604 data errors, use '-v' for a list

  pool: tank1
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tank1   ONLINE   0 0 0
  ad12p2ONLINE   0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

Tank consists of 2 300G PATA drives in a mirror.  Tank1 is a 500G SATA 
drive I just added recently to use for data archiving.  The stuff I wish 
to protect is backed up to a network file server manually via NFS.  I 
have scrubbed the pool showing errors several times now with no 
increases or decreases in error counts.  I have issued #zpool clear 
tank a number of times with no change in the error count.  The document 
listed (www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A) was of no apparent help for my 
condition.  I have drives I can export to and import from but I am 
unclear as to whether I will be just moving the bad blocks around.


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.


Thank You,
Michael
