Re: Consistent 6.0-STABLE Hang.

2005-11-14 Thread Julien Gabel
 Running the Citrix ICA wfcmgr (from ports) to change settings, e.g.
 password, for connection to a Windows terminal server hangs FreeBSD 6.0
 (as of Nov 4) quite consistently. I've tried this on one of my 6.0
 systems at home and a 6.0 system here at work. I suspect it may have
 something to do with Linux emulation however until I dig into this more
 I won't know for sure.

 The only way to unhang the system is to press the reset switch.

 For fun, try updating to RELENG_6. I committed a fix recently for a hang
 thats caused by doing 'ls /dev' in the linuxulator.

I think you got it.  After rebooting under a fresh 6.0-STABLE (build on
Mon Nov 14 05:39:01 CET 2005), the problem didn't appear again...  no more
need for a serial console on this machine, i think :)

Many thanks!

This problem has already been reported on [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Regrettably, no 
good
news was heard from this list since then.  Using wfcica directly is ok
though.

 Any luck getting into a debugger using a console or serial break?

Not so far, but i will give this an other try from the beginning of the
next week and let you know if i can get something interesting.

Re: DHCP DDNS updates.

2005-10-25 Thread Julien Gabel
 FreeBSD 6-STABLE has imported dhclient from OpenBSD:

 OpenBSD dhclient as of OpenBSD 3.7 has been imported. It replaces the
 ISC DHCP client used in prior versions of FreeBSD.
 (http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/6-STABLE/relnotes/i386/article.html)

 making /etc/dhclient.conf no longer accept this syntax:
 send fqdn.fqdn some.host.name.;
 send fqdn.server-update on;

 Ironically, OpenBSD 3.8-current has reverted back to accepting this DDNS
 related syntax a month or so ago.

 Is there a chance we get a fresher merge from OpenBSD?

If you are managing the DHCP server too, you can configure it to send
the updates, instead from the client.  My Unix clients are configured
as follow:
 interface if0 {
   send domain-name example.com;
   send host-name hostname;
 }

The server has, in the conrresponding subnet :
 option fqdn.server-update true;
 option fqdn.encoded true;

Regards,

Re: Good, stable gigabit nic?

2005-10-08 Thread Julien Gabel
 My gigabit nic has gone bad (after months of working just fine  it's
 saying sk0 watchdog timeout after a day or so of operation - temp
 fix is to reboot) - I'm looking for pointers for a low cos but
 functional gigabit PCI 32 card that runs under 5.4 without issues.
 What works for you?

 Cards using the RealTek 8169S chipset are cheap (~10 Euro) and are
 working without a problem here.

Sorry, but it seems there is some problem with this one.  You can check
the PR database for `if_re' and found kern/68514 or kern/84584.  In
particular, i want to point you to mine: kern/80005.  This problem is
encountered from ~2 year now and was reported to me, privately, by
one other user last week.

Re: re0 no carrier problem - Patches found in archives didn't work.

2005-06-19 Thread Julien Gabel
 this may seem obvious, but do you still have the same issue if you
 statically define the mediatype to a fixed link speed and duplex?
 lots of interfaces have problems negotiating autoselect with
 switches, as protocols vary widely.  the blinking is indicative of
 autoselect setup woes...

 When I set the media by hand it showed 'active', but no data could be
 transmitted (yellow link diode on switch, not blinking). I then pulled
 the switch with my home lan from the wall and plugged my re0 instead -
 It worked!

 So this seems to be the %$R#(@%*$ switch issue. The funny thing is, that
 with media set manually (or sometimes with autoselect) everything works
 fine with this switch (i have used it all day yesterday till evening
 without problem). Now, when i wait some time with media manually set, it
 starts transmitting data and everything works fine.
 Why does it happen? Why is it so unpredictible? Can it be fixed in
 software, or should i throw the switch out the window and by a new one?

Not sure if it is solely switch related.  I encountered the very same
problem for months now using different links ans switches.  Moreover, it
seems to be FreeBSD specific since the same machine works better with
others OSes.

See PR kern/80005 for a more long description on a very similar problem.

Re: UFS2 partition with negative used space

2005-06-10 Thread Julien Gabel
Hello,

 Hi, Julien,

 在 2005-06-10五的 07:09 +0200,Julien Gabel写道:
 Hi,

 Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity
 Mounted on
 /dev/ad0s1e989M-46M956M-5%
 /var/tmp

 Any hints?

 I had to run fsck(8) on /tmp, which was in the same state as shown here,
 three time in the last five months.

 You may want to have mount -f -u -ordonly /tmp before running fsck in
 foreground, and then mount -u /tmp to restore its mount options.

I had use 'mount -u -o ro /tmp' (don't know that the -f option may help
in this case before you write it :), but since the problem appears on a
desktop, i was able to switch to single user to umount/fsck/mount the
corresponding file system.

Thank for the -f tip anyway!

Re: Any plans to update CVS beyond v1.11.5?

2004-04-19 Thread Julien Gabel
 CVS is being updated but FreeBSD still uses v1.11.5.  I'm trying to
 use a FreeBSD box as a server for both FreeBSD and Windows CVS
 clients, and I'm finding a few problems which, I believe, are fixed in
 CVS versions after 1.11.5.  Unless I missed something major, there's
 not a port for keeping up with CVS either.

 Any plans to update CVS in the base system?

It seems that Peter Wemm has updated CVS to version 1.11.15:
