installing linux after freebsd (multi-boot)
Hello , I have freebsd6.2 installed with Fedora core 7 and rhe4. I am installing rhel5 , when linux installation process starts I get an error of /dev/hdc1 busy , can not report to kernel about partition layout. In the past I installed linux then FreeBSD. Is there some method that rhel5 installation can skip /dev/hdc1 (freebsd slice) ? saving my freebsd installation regards Anuj Singh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

healthd
I installed healthd hoping it would show me the cpu temperatures and fan speeds for my motherboard but it's reporting some crazy values like fan speeds of -48C and fan speeds of 13000 rpms. My motherboard is a SuperMicro X6DH3-G2 which does support this feature. There's a 6300ESB on the board which has an SMBus controller, so I think that healthd should be started with the -S option. However, I don't know if healthd will work with my chipset. It's not clear to me if the 6300ESB is the chipset or just the smbus controller which talks to the chipset. SuperMicro provides a windows utility which reads this data, so in theory I should be able to read this data somehow. If healthd isn't going to work here, perhaps I can just use smbmsg to extract the data directly from the chipset? Does anyone know how to figure out which parameters to give smbmsg to do that? And if not via smbmsg, is there some way to get this data?

In the last two days I wrote a script that would fetch a list of domains from several different sites, and output a valid BIND configuration file that could be included in the main config. I just ran the second test and the results are extremely poor. With only 27,885 blocked domains the server is now consuming 208 MB of ram. The first time I tried reloading the full list of domains (91,137 of them) and that nearly crashed my server. Had to kill bind, remove two of the largest sources, and try a second time. Honestly, I can't figure out what BIND could possibly be using so much memory for. It's taking up about 7 KB for each zone. The zone file itself is not even 1 KB, and given that all the records are pointing to the exact same thing it seems to be needlessly wasting memory. In addition to that, if I comment out the blacklist config file and run rndc reload, it only frees up about 16 MB. So it doesn't even release memory when it is no longer needed. It looks like my plan of using BIND for filtering purposes will not work. Given how poorly it performed on this test I'm actually inclined to try another name server to see if something else would be more memory-efficient. If I can't find anything then I'll need to put some other piece of software to intercept BIND's recursive queries and block the domains that way. - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Nearly 100,000 zones on that server is a fairly impressive amount.

My experience, albeit with a smaller number of zones, is a bit different. First you need to account for main program memory and memory utilized by the nameserver's cache, if any. You may also be running your own authoritative zones which will add memory utilization outside of that. You can't account for all of the utilized memory in your additional blocking zones. Without my blocking zones loaded, I have 6 native zones on my nameserver and the resident memory size of named is 2.2 MB. After a fresh server startup, I expect minimum memory for cached records, so that comes out to be about 375 KB/zone, unscientifically. If I restart named (kill and start server fresh) with my blocking zones in the config, I come out with 17239 zones and a resident process memory size of 59 MB. (Unscientifically again,) this breaks down to about 3.5 KB/zone. In my configuration, each of these blocking zones points to a simple zone file 244B in size on disk: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns.local. admin.local. ( 1 ; serial 1h ; refresh 30m ; retry 7d ; expiration 1h ); minimum IN NS ns.local. IN A 127.0.0.1 * IN A 127.0.0.1 So all told, I seem to notice somewhat slimmer utilization than you (roughly half the memory utilization per zone, and though I have 61% as many zones loaded my named takes only 28% of the memory yours does.) > It looks like my plan of using BIND for filtering purposes will not > work. Given how poorly it performed on this test I'm actually inclined > to try another name server to see if something else would be more > memory-efficient. You will almost certainly find most of the popular alternatives to be much more resource efficient. djbdns in particular would be my next choice if memory efficiency and stability are concerns.

dlopen(), atexit() on FreeBSD
Hi, I bumped into a platform-specific problem when using the Firebird database client library in a dlopen()ed module on FreeBSD. libdbi (http://libdbi.sourceforge.net) is a database abstraction layer which dlopen()s available database drivers at runtime to provide connectivity to various database engines. This design works without problems on a variety of platforms and with a variety of database client libraries, but causes a segfault with Firebird on FreeBSD: #0 0x28514fe4 in ?? () #1 0x281507c3 in __cxa_finalize () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x281503fe in exit () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0x0804a40f in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfe754) at test_dbi.c:419 The application crashes when exit() is called. Googling told me that __cxa_finalize () is invoked by atexit(). Our drivers and apps do not use this function, but the firebird client libraries do: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/prog/libdbi-drivers/tests# grep atexit /usr/local/lib/libfb* Binary file /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so matches Binary file /usr/local/lib/libfbembed.so matches Googling also told me that the conflict between atexit() and dlopen() on FreeBSD is a known problem, see e.g.: http://www.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-developers/2006-March/002523.html Is there anything I can do about this from my end? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Running dump(8) and restore(8) would allow you to back up and restore your system. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dump http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=restore This is typically used with tape, although you can dump to disk as well. If your data/system is critical, you ought to already have some backup strategy you could restore the system from to your new RAID. If not, you might put one in place (RAID != backups). -- Darren Spruell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'll look into these docs, thanks. There is no tape system, so I guess the only hope is if it can be dumped and restored from an NFS drive.

If you're using the apm -z command or zzz, they will be executed. If you use the physical sleep button, they will not.

Can be data on a mounted fs or an umounted filesystem altogether: 'files-to-dump' is either a mountpoint of a filesystem or a list of files and directories on a single filesystem to be backed up as a subset of the filesystem. In the former case, either the path to a mounted filesystem or the device of an unmounted filesystem can be used.

It produces equally strange results: # mbmon -I Temp.= 208.0, 0.0, 0.0; Rot.= 8035, 3443, 3515 Vcore = 4.08, 4.08; Volt. = 4.08, 5.03, 11.49, 0.72, 1.94 That's 208 degrees C, not believable. mbmon wouldn't talk to the smbus, if I ran it like this it produced the following: # mbmon -S InitMBInfo: Device not configured # mbmon -d -A SMBus[Intel8XX(ICH/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5/ICH6)] found, but No HWM available on it!! Summary of Detection: * ISA monitor(s): ** Winbond Chip W83627HF/THF/THF-A found. This chip is definitely supported by mbmon. I read through the motherboard manual. It makes no mention to this chip. The sensor appears to be built into the motherboard and supported by the cpu. In other words, there's nothing special to do, I do not need a separate sensor under the chip, it's all built-in. The temperature should be more like 40C and the system should automatically shut down at about 80C, so 208C is definitely not right. What other things have people done when this data reported by healthd and mbmon are totally wacko?

Not sure why it reacted as it did to the blacklist config, but I think I now found a perfect solution. This morning I played around with MaraDNS, which is actually a pretty good DNS server. One problem with it was that it didn't allow includes in the main config. That means that everything has to be in a single file and that's a bit messy. It did a lot better with memory usage, taking up about 70MB for 27 or 28 thousand domains, but still not great. I then installed dnsmasq, which is able to read domain info from the hosts file. Just for the fun of it, I loaded domains from all th
bash and $LANG and meta-key bindings
I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3-prerelease and I noticed something very strange with bash (or perhaps readline). I have had for many hears this in my .bash_login: export LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15 This makes 8-bit characters come out as accented characters instead of character codes like . However, with the upgrade to 6.3pre, something has changed. Same bash binary. If I set $LANG like this, certain meta-bindings like this do not work: bind '"\M-p": history-search-backward' bind '"\M-n": history-search-forward' Before the upgrade, m-p would go to the previous command or the previous command like the one that was partially typed in. Now, it produces a : prompt. If I remove the LANG setting from my .bash_login, it works fine. So either I can have proper accented characters or I can have working meta key bindings with bash (and readline), but not both. Anyone know of a fix for this? Am I setting LANG in the wrong place? I have tried putting these bindings into my .inputrc but that didn't help.

There is the XDMCP option, which allows you to remotely connect to an X display manager for full, remote display sessions. This isn't regarded to be a secure solution by most people. If your remote system is a server, do you have a need for remote desktop access? If you have one or two X applications on the remote server, could you just get by with SSH X11 forwarding to access those applications from your management station's display?

Why aren't more secure download options offered?
Hello FreeBSD representative, I am new to the FreeBSD community. In the past I have typically installed a linux variant in my home systems, but recently decided to give FreeBSD a try since I could not find a distribution that fit my needs. I believe that fbsd is a good platform, but have found some areas that I'd like to point out. They are both rooted in the idea of a secure file transfer and file validation. Why isn't checksum information provided for packages? These are found in this directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/packages/ I can't seem to find any documentation anywhere. These are for all of the .tbz packages. The information is provided for every file except for these. Also, instead of the ftp protocol, why don't you offer download options like https? I am sure that many people are interested in such an option. I have ordered a CD for the toolkit, and want to verify the checksums online.
