Re: Jails working differently in FreeBSD-8

2009-12-14 Thread Nathan Butcher

 
 It may sound silly but can you confirm that sshd is running inside the
 jail?
 

Er... that was the problem. Not enabled in rc.conf

Please allow me to feel embarrassed ;)

Jails working differently in FreeBSD-8

2009-12-13 Thread Nathan Butcher
Jails appear to be working differently in 8.0 compared with 7.x (due to
the networking changes in 8 most likely).

Anyway, I've created a jail in 8.0 and given it it's own IPv4 IP
address. Problem is, when I attempt to SSH to this jail IP address, I'm
arriving in the host environment, and not the jailed environment.

In 7.x I would have landed inside the jail so what's going on in 8?
Hopefully someone who has already solved this issue can help me out a bit.

 Could you please check that `ifconfig ifname -bgscan' disabling the
 background scan helps your symptom?
 The above sounds like the same problem as this:

 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2009-February/011343.html

 The problem is in the background scanning logic in sys/net80211.
 I don't see how you come to this conclusion.  ural is a totally 
 different driver than ath and so far as I can recall you never found the 
 cause for your problem w/ ath.  Most of the usb wireless drivers do a 
 haphazard job of synchronizing async tasks like bg scan with the 
 foreground tx/rx processing.  This can lead to firmware and/or usb 
 issues.  ath does not have these issues but I am aware of at least one 
 problem w/ bg scanning in ath under RELENG_7 (that is not present in HEAD).
 
 I agree with sam because I saw some cases like stalls during background
 scanning that most of them I think it's caused by H/W miss-operation or
 miss-configuration by mistakes of driver.

I'll do some testing without the bgscan and report back.
(haven't had time recently)

Re: sysinstall automatic partition labelling/sizing problem

2008-12-04 Thread Nathan Butcher
 Are you running i386 or amd64?  360MB _is_ a very tight fit for amd64
 but you should make it unless you have some large, unexpected files
 lying around in your root partition.  As a workaround, you could
 remove *.symbols from the old kernel files.

Running amd64. The install was fresh so there were no extra files in /

 Looking at sysinstall, the default size is currently 512MB unless you
 have less than ~20GB, when it will start scaling down.

maybe it needs to scale down just a little bit less than it already
does although granted, not every install is going to experience a
kernal recompile from source - well, ones that expect to be maintained
anyway.

 Your options are:
 1) Expand root (maybe use growfs and eat into your swap)
 2) Avoid building unwanted modules via MODULES_OVERRIDE.

Fair enough. This issue just bit me in the behind because I was
expecting the 7.1 kernal and modules to take up about as much space as
7.0 ... but then I remember that dtrace found it's way into 7.1 plus a
whole lotta code

sysinstall automatic partition labelling/sizing problem

2008-12-02 Thread Nathan Butcher
Automatic labelling on 7.0 created about 360MB for my root partition on
a 8GB disk. After a buildkernel into 7.1-PRERELEASE, the root partition
was exhausted during the installkernel.

Maybe automatic labelling in sysinstall needs to allocate more than
360MB in the root (/) partition if it's going to stay big enough to
accomodate a buildkernel and installkernel from source.

You're correct. I removed lnc from the kernel config and added le, then
recompiled the kernel.
No more kernel messages about network interfaces.

  Hi all,

  you can obtain the driver from:
  ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/iscsi-2.0.92.tar.gz

Just tried it out.

Set up a vmware FreeBSD 6.2 install on my windows box.
Installed the kernel module and initiator program and targeted it at an
OpenSolaris machine running ZFS and exporting a 1GB volume over iSCSI on
our network. Did a newfs on the imported iSCSI /dev/da0 and mounted it
OK. Copied files over to it OK.

Ran bonnie++ over it as an experiment. Had the following kernel message
pop-up twice, however:

lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer

Not sure what the cause was. Perhaps I was just thrashing out my virtual
