NFS : -alldirs requested but is not a filesystem mountpoint

2009-07-27 Thread Aitor San Juan
Hello List,

I have a FreeBSD 5.4 (yes a bit old), and I'm just using it as a NFS
server.

The server has got a filesystem located at /data

This local filesystem has several subdirectories, and I'd like these
subdirectories to be visible to a client host, but not all as a whole.

This is the hierarchy at /data:

/data/bulletins/nfs_bulls
/data/bulletins/etc/ftpmotd -- this is only for FTP's ftpchroot config
/data/taxes/docs
/data/taxes/etc/ftpmotd -- this is only for FTP's ftpchroot config

The data to be visible is under /data/bulletins/nfs_bulls (and all its
subdirectories) and /data/taxes/docs (and all its subdirectories)

As the content of both directories has nothing to do with each other,
I'd like them to be independently exported. Thus, a client needing
access to these data should issue 2 mount's for each data. I don't want
both directories to be visible with just one mount.

This is what I've coded in my /etc/exports

/data/bulletins/nfs_bulls  -alldirs  -ro  -network MyNet  -mask
255.255.255.0
/data/taxes/docs   -alldirs  -ro  -network MyNet  -mask
255.255.255.0

And this is what syslog says:

-alldirs requested but /data/bulletins/nfs_bulls is not a filesystem
mountpoint
bad exports list line /data/bulletins/nfs_bulls  -alldirs  -ro  -network
MyNet  -mask 255.255.255.0

-alldirs requested but /data/taxes/docs is not a filesystem mountpoint
bad exports list line /data/taxes/docs  -alldirs  -ro  -network MyNet
-mask 255.255.255.0

Reading through etc/exports(5) and having seen those error messages, I
think I should create another separate filesystem on my server. However,
I haven't got any space left for another slice.

Is it possible to somehow accomplish what I want in this scenario?

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Syslog date format

 One would think that ISO 8601 date strings would make more sense, in

It isn't too hard to convert on the fly. The real problem is that syslog
dates do not contain a year and timezone. The taillog program below sig
therefore may lie about the generated date. Most notably a year is
non-optional in ISO 8601.
Anyway, taillog is basically tail(1), except it shows the following:

source code licensing questions

2009-07-27 Thread son goku
Hi all,
I am a part of a team that is planning to open a start-up company.
We plan to ship a revolutionary storage controller.

We are now investigating possible OS for the product. The choices that we
came up with are either LINUX or Free-BSD.
I am strongly biased toward Free-BSD, however I still need to understand the
licensing impacts of using a Free-BSD kernel.

Browsing the web about the BSD license just made me confused. Seems like to
understand these licensing issues you must be a lawyer.

I got the following questions regarding source license:
1.Do I need to open the source code for my product if I use the BSD kernel
as part of the product?
2.If I do some kernel changes, do I need to open those changes as well?
3.What about Dtrace, if I use DTrace will I need to open code that use it?
4.Suppose the answer for 1-3 is no, s there any other reason why I need to
open the code.

Please understand that my questions stem from the fact that we are afraid of
exposing our source code, especially during the first phases of the project.
It is more than possible, that we will re-consider our approach in later
stages and open some or all our code to the community.

Thanks!!

Basically the BSD licence is: do what you like, but:

1. don't say you did it all by yourself.
2. you can't blame us for anything.
3. Include the COPYRIGHT notice.

 I got the following questions regarding source license:
 1.Do I need to open the source code for my product if I use the BSD kernel

No.

 2.If I do some kernel changes, do I need to open those changes as well?

No.

 3.What about Dtrace, if I use DTrace will I need to open code that use it?

The CDDL licence seems to imply that you do.

 4.Suppose the answer for 1-3 is no, s there any other reason why I need to
 open the code.

Only if you feel like it.

Thanks guys for the prompt answers!!!
It seems weird that code that uses dtrace must be opened. I mean every
serious production level application must have some dtrace-like mechanism
inside to collect online information when needed. It is a shame that because
of licensing issues, I will have to roll-my-own and re-invent the wheel all
over again, probably with cruder and implementation that is more flawed
compared to dtrace.

I wonder what all the proprietary modules for Solaris  (VxVM jumps to
mind...)  or BSD do? Or there are no such modules anymore...

Re: limit to number of files seen by ls?

2009-07-27 Thread John Almberg

understanding what is going on. I'm reading up on this, and as soon
as I know enough to either understand the issue, or ask an
intelligent question, I will do so...


When a program is executed with arguments, there is a system  
imposed limit on
the size of this argument list. On FreeBSD this limit can be seen  
with sysctl

kern.argmax, which is the length in bytes.
When you do ls *, what really happens is that the shell expands  
the asterisk
to all entries in the current directory, except entries starting  
with a dot

(hidden files and directories). As a result, ls is really called as:
ls file1 file2  fileN

If the string length of file1 to fileN is bigger then kern.argmax,  
then you

will get argument list too long error.


Mel,

What I get is this:

 sysctl kern.argmax
kern.argmax: 262144

Which is why I'm starting to think that (a) my problem is different  
or (b) I'm so clueless that there isn't any problem at all, and I'm  
just not understanding something (most likely scenario!)


I'm going to write a little script that generates a bunch of files to  
test my hypothesis that once I get more than n files in a directory,  
some things stop working correctly, like ls and ftp directory  
listings, and to discover the value of n. That will give me some hard  
data to work with.


This problem has been nagging at me for a while, so it's time I nail  
it down once and for all...


I'll be back...

 serious production level application must have some dtrace-like mechanism
 inside to collect online information when needed. It is a shame that
 because
 of licensing issues, I will have to roll-my-own and re-invent the wheel all
 over again, probably with cruder and implementation that is more flawed
 compared to dtrace.

 I wonder what all the proprietary modules for Solaris  (VxVM jumps to
 mind...)  or BSD do? Or there are no such modules anymore...

Works for me. errno 2 is ENOENT (No such file or directory). I would inspect

/dev/stderr = fd/2

if( argc != 2 )
exit(67);

(void)strlcpy(path, argv[1], sizeof(path));
res = readlink(path, buf, sizeof(buf));
if( res  0 )
err(EXIT_FAILURE, readlink());
buf[MAXPATHLEN] = '\0';

Just to clarify, are you trying to boot from a USB stick that you've
installed FreeBSD onto, or is this a USB stick that you've dd'ed the
memstick.img to?

You should NOT use disklabel on a usb stick that you're dd'ing the
memstick.img to.

Here I will try to re-state the problem.

I have two USB Flash Memory sticks. One is a 2GB stick and the other is 
a 8GB stick. I can install Freebsd 8.0 from disc1 cd onto the 2GB stick 
or dd the memstick.img to the 2GB stick and in both cases it will boot 
just fine.


When I repeat the same procedure using the 8GB stick it will not boot. 
AS a test I have fdisk'ed the 8GB stick under MS/XP and loaded files to 
it ok.


The only thing I see different between the 2 memsticks is in the 
messages 7.2 issues when the sticks get plugged in.


Take note of the revision level differences between them.
2.00/1.00 versus  rev 2.00/2.00

The only other guess I have is that the usb code in 7.2 has
am error in it.

Aloha,


I put FreeBSD 7.2 iso (from Maniolis CD/DVD ) on stick (a Sandisk Cruzer 
16 GB), and it works fine. This was using the normal install directed to 
the stick. Booting was not an issue.  Maybe your stick is messed up.

How to doc available?

2009-07-27 Thread Mikel King
Anyone know of a good tutorial for making a system on a USB key in  
limited space? I have a project that requires enough of running system  
with lighttpd and php5 to do some network magick. I would like to keep  
the thing below 512MB but if that is not feasible then I'll shoot for  
whatever the smallest I can get away with.


Thanks, in advance.

Yeah, I just noticed that too. So how did you determine there should be ~4000 
files in the directory when ls shows ~2300. Also, does ls give an error 
message?
ls -l /tmp/out should clear that up and you can use wc -l /tmp/out to see how 
many files are returned.

Have you tried it yet? Once Upon A Time Not So Long Ago, 512MB was a
*huge* system disk.

And as others have pointed out much larger USB stick is cheap. So how
many hours are you willing to spend to save $12?

What order are options in rc.conf processed?

2009-07-27 Thread Peter Steele
We have an rc.conf file that looks something like this:

 

ifconfig_nfe0=UP

ifconfig_nfe1=UP

cloned_interfaces=lagg0

ifconfig_lagg0=laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 ip
netmask mask

defaultrouter=router-ip

...

ourapp_enable=YES

 

In a recent reboot test, when ourapp started, it checked to see if an
IP was assigned to the system and there was not, causing it to take an
unexpected logic path. Our understanding though was that since we had an
entry in rc.conf defining the IP then our app should have started after
that IP was assigned. Is this true or is there potentially a timing
issue here?

Maybe they are connecting to the MSP aka 587/tcp rather than port 25?   
It's hard to tell from your message which mailserver lines are from  
machines under your control; try editting the mail headers a little  
less and we might be able to do better.


Otherwise, maybe your firewall rules are not working, are applied to  
the wrong network interface, etc.

Does your application startup script require NETWORKING?

It is false. See the manpage for rcorder, specifically the BEFORE and REQUIRE 
keywords. However, there still may be a timing issue, if ourapp requires the 
interface to be up (not just an IP assigned).

rc.conf is just a script that sets a bunch of environment variables for the
/etc/rc.d/* scripts to use.  The order the variables are set in that file
does not matter.  If you want your script to run after network interfaces
are set up, you'll want to add a REQUIRE: NETWORKING line.  See the
rc and rcorder manpages for more info, and take a look at the files in
/etc/rc.d/ for examples.

Sorry about the confusion.  Postfix is listening on port 25 on  
mail.mnea.org.  Port 587 is not open.

Your startup script needs to require NETWORKING, though, and any other
service it may need.

Beyond this, you can use the rcorder command.

That error from bind,

Is not handled gracefully in the bsdstats script.

The annoyance is that ISC Bind finds it not useful to print errno, which is 
what you'd need to figure out why this lock can't be destroyed. It is however 
a programming error in bind, or a rare case of stack corruption by the kernel.

If you see this error a lot or can reliably reproduce it, I'd file a PR.

ntpd / time synchronization

2009-07-27 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot

Hello,

I guess there is something simple that is wrong but my server is not 
really keeping the correct time. I have these options in /etc/rc.conf


ntpd_enable=YES
ntpd_flags=-g -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntp.drift

and here's the details of /etc/ntp.conf file:

server 0.pl.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pl.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pl.pool.ntp.org
server 3.pl.pool.ntp.org
driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift
restrict default nopeer nomodify

I used to have server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org in the ntp.conf file but 
today changed all entries to *.pl.pool.*


At the moment my clock is about 3 minutes behind time. It has been 
running for a year and I do not have ntpdate enabled so I guess 
subsequent reboots did not correct the drifting problem.


Is there anything obvious I am missing here? Any advice would be greatly 
appreciated!


Thank you all very much!

You can't readily combine a restrict statement with using random  
timeservers from the NTP pool; you would need to list specific servers  
and add blank restrict statements for each server you trust.  What  
you've configured is likely querying the 4 servers listed for time,  
but not trusting their responses so your clock never find a server  
which it is willing to sync to.


Running ntpq -p -c rv would be informative

I'm going to try to answer your question rather than tell you you're
wrong. It's possible, and not difficult.

Option 1) I'm pretty sure a default install of FreeBSD covers a little
less than 640 MB; have you just tried that?

[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% df -h /
Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a421M203M185M52%/
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% du -hc /boot/xboxkern.0/
112M/boot/xboxkern.0/
112Mtotal
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% du -hc bin include lib sbin share games libdata

snip

292Mshare/doc

snip

428Mtotal
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr%

So, excluding /usr/share/doc, and /boot/xboxkern.0 (a leftover from
when amnesiac was an xbox), my install with no ports etc is
~203-112=91MB for /, 428-292=136MB for /usr, plus /var and /tmp (both
minimal if properly managed and trimmed) makes ~250 MB; way less than
the 500 MB specified. You could probably even install Apache on that!

If I've missed anything glaringly obvious, please correct me someone

Option 2) Try http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/nanobsd/index.html

Yes, try it and see-- it's most likely to be the cause of problems.   
If you want to set a default restrict line, you'll want to use a setup  
like the following, with explicit restrict statements added for  
localhost and each of the remote timeservers:


server ntp.pbx.org maxpoll 11
server bonehed.lcs.mit.edu maxpoll 9
server sundial.columbia.edu maxpoll 11
server time1.apple.com maxpoll 11
peer ns1.codefab.com maxpoll 9
peer ns2.codefab.com maxpoll 9

restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery

# localhost is unrestricted
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1
restrict ntp.pbx.org
restrict bonehed.lcs.mit.edu
restrict sundial.columbia.edu
restrict time1.apple.com
restrict ns1.codefab.com

replacing GNATS?

2009-07-27 Thread Alexander Best
i remember reading an interview with a fbsd maintainer where he stated that
nobody's happy with the old GNATS bug tracking system, but since it works
they're keeping it.

why not move to bugzilla or another bug tracking system? most of them come
with GNATS_2_* scripts.

switching from cvs to svn (except ports) worked pretty well so why not
continue in that fashion?

I don't know if this is what you were referencing about the interview,

I'm going to try to answer your question rather than tell you you're
wrong. It's possible, and not difficult.

Option 1) I'm pretty sure a default install of FreeBSD covers a little
less than 640 MB; have you just tried that?

[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% df -h /
Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a421M203M185M52%/
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% du -hc /boot/xboxkern.0/
112M/boot/xboxkern.0/
112Mtotal
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr% du -hc bin include lib sbin share games libdata

snip

292Mshare/doc

snip

428Mtotal
[ch...@amnesiac]/usr%

So, excluding /usr/share/doc, and /boot/xboxkern.0 (a leftover from
when amnesiac was an xbox), my install with no ports etc is
~203-112=91MB for /, 428-292=136MB for /usr, plus /var and /tmp (both
minimal if properly managed and trimmed) makes ~250 MB; way less than
the 500 MB specified. You could probably even install Apache on that!

If I've missed anything glaringly obvious, please correct me  
someone


Option 2) Try http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/nanobsd/ 
index.html


Chris




Chris,

Thank you for your detailed answer. Most appreciated as is the URL to  
nanobsd so that I can RTFM...

mysql50-server root login

2009-07-27 Thread Stew Houston
I'm having trouble getting my MySQL server root password to stick.  After
installing through ports, I run mysql_install_db which gives me two commands
to set the root password through mysqladmin.  I do this and all is well.  I
can login as root with no problems.  After a reboot however, the I can't get
in.  Any ideas?

After running mysql_install_db, the mysql files are owned by
root:wheel instead of mysql:mysql

I've noticed that is a missing step in the docs.
# mysql_install_db
# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/db/mysql
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql start



How it sticks long enough until reboot sounds like a memory cache,
which is flushed of course at reboot.

Will create the auth tables, if they don't exist, with the correct ownerships:

mysql_prestart()

Well, if OP can provide sh -x /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics 
output, it's easier to see which variable is empty as a result of a resolver 
error. Then fix the test expression and either exit or use a retry_x_times 
mechanism.

 For what its worth, I just built a new svn server (to replace my old

 kept on doing the job).

 This time, I used a very simple set up, using svnserve without any
 authentication. I use pf to limit access to the small number of IP addresses
 that I use. This setup is super-simple, fast, and secure enough for my

 Works for me. errno 2 is ENOENT (No such file or

Thanks everybody for valuable replies. In fact, I also used readlink(2) but fed 
the symlink path directly from dirent, which was partial, readlink(2) requires 
full path.

Nope it doesn't. It's the classical opendir does not chdir problem. 
readlink(2) requires a path that resolves from the current working directory 
of the program. If you opendir(3) /dev and are in /, then dirent-d_name is 
not valid for your cwd. Either you have to chdir or prepend the path given to 
opendir to dirent-d_name.

% ./rl /dev/stdout
stdout = fd/1
