 Most likely because that option changes PREFIX, so the BUILD_COOKIE changed,

I believe Mel is right here. 'make clean ; make config ; make' worked
for me.


Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.

As does a second make after getting this error, but it's nonintuitive, and 
probably a ports bug.

Re: ntpd / time synchronization

2009-07-29 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot


Hello,

Jerry pisze:


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


Assuming you are running the system ntpd file, the above are not
really required. They are the defaults anyway. Try commenting out the
line and restarting ntpd.


Thank you Jerry - that was the problem. If you want to run a default 
nptd service, you should not have any ntpd flags in the rc.conf file.


Thanks - the clock is now synchronized. Thank you everyone! It is 
wonderful to be part of such a friendly community.

Re: fsck and dump freeze freebsd. any ideas?

2009-07-29 Thread DA Forsyth

On 29 Jul 2009 , freebsd-questions-requ...@freebsd.org entreated 
about
 freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 269, Issue 6:

   After one of the last crashes, the system would lock up a short time
 after rebooting. I found the problem caused by background fsck locking
 up the system. I took the partition out of the startup check for now.
 I 'think' I was installing a port during the last crash, but it has
 been a while. I performed a fsck and a dump (to /dev/null) confirming
 that both do crash the freebsd 7.2 and 6.2 (which I booted off of a
 separate drive). A tar to /dev/null did run successfully, but I recall
 reading that that is not a recommended way to backup/move a
 filesystem. The /usr partition where it causes trouble is in a raid5
 geom_vinum three drive array. I did not yet have the array rebuild the

My experience has been that dump *with snapshot* of a live filesystem 
will crash if the filesystem is 'large'.  MY solution is to umount 
the partition.  This happens with my 800GB /home which is part of a 4 
drive raid5 array (ar driver with hardware setup).  It used to happen 
with the previous 320GB mirror array too, just with /home which is 
the biggest partition.   This is one reason I moved away from tape 
backup to a secondary server full of harddrives as backup target, the 
tape took far too long with /home unmounted and users were affected.

As for the fsck crashing, I'm lost.  Maybe a faulty drive?

fsck and dump freeze freebsd. any ideas?

2009-07-29 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III

  The smartctl tests on the three drives came back saying they were checked 
100% without error; bad sectors have always caused an error and an aborted 
scan at the point of trouble for me in the past.
  I 'thought' I recalled seeing a panic along the lines of ffs_free or 
something related to free blocks or something at one point; maybe that was an 
error with fsck on the live system when manually ran. I will try to 
reproduce. Otherwise I do not know that fsck crashes; the entire system 
locks. I will see if I can reproduce the problem as a panic.
  There were some errors fsck seems to think it cleaned. A couple still exist 
indicating wrong counts about '12 should be 4' or '4 should be 0' type stuff. 
One error had a ridiculously large seven digit or so number that fsck said 
should be reduced. I had made a many terabyte file with a dd write to the end 
of a file of the largest size it would let me create and have since deleted 
the file; maybe that was what the reference was to. After fixing some errors, 
the fsck still causes a freeze and at what seems to be about the same point.
  The filesystem was unmounted for the dump and fsck has been attempted both 
mounted and unmounted. The filesystem has (ufs, NFS exported, local, 
soft-updates) reported for features by mount under normal operation.
  The freeze with dump did occur during a snapshot creation, which I found I 
cannot kill with a -9 (kill attempted minutes before the crash which still 
would not stop the creation).
  The powerdown question is more for how to handle an unsafe powerdown/crash 
on an active system. If I need to read from a partition, would read only 
leave it completely clean? Is there a way to operate on a file system which 
is treated as more of a ramdisk of changes and keeps the real partition 
unmodified (giving results like Faronics deepfreeze software or qemu disks in 
snapshot mode)?
  Would a zfs mirror configuration handle the unexpected crash/powerdown? 
Would it just report and fix the corruption, mention what files/structures 
weror impacted, offer restore of that data from a recent snapshot, or just 
say it is time to restore from a backup?
  Thanks again for the feedback,
Ed Sutton

How to get SystemMemorySize?

2009-07-29 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III

Something like the following should use the power of sysctl. physmem and 
usermem in place of realmem may be of use too. Just wish I knew proper values 
nad logic to tweak kern.ipc.shmmax and similar paramaters.

int realmem;
char* realmem_mib_name = hw.realmem;
return(sysctlbyname(usermem_mib_name, realmem, len, 0, 0))

SATA DVD issues

2009-07-29 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III

For the encrypted DVDs, have you set a region for the drive to match? How are 
you accessing them? Further hardware information may help (people better at 
this than I) identify issues; what SATA controller connects the drive. Last I 
checked, my promise controller cards seem to have incomplete drivers for what 
is needed to support optical drives unless I misunderstood the code.

kernel panic on SATA drive

2009-07-29 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III

The FreeBSD Developers' Handbook describes how to get panic information (and
dig out further details).
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#KERNELDEBUG-OBTAIN
Was there any output before ad7: FAILURE - device detached? Losing the drive
in the bios makes me think hardware, but I'd check for any firmware
problems/updates if they exist.
I have not tried yet, but FreeBSD8 is supposed to finally handle the anxiety
of losing a drive.
http://freebsdfoundation.org/press/2008Dec-newsletter.shtml#Project1

I would try smartctl from ports; run a long scan and read the full output to
see if it passes or if you get a response like:
# 1 Extended offlineCompleted: read failure 20% 32490
308342849
Also look above that output to see if there any metioned 'Error ## occured at
disk power-on lifetime' type of messages.
to scan, run:
smartctl -t long /dev/ad7
after the scan, read output with:
smartctl -a long /dev/ad7

What motherboard is it? GeForce 8200 sounds like a graphics chipset to me.

For hardware analysis, try to isolate it to a particular drive (sounds like it
is only the seagate), cable (data or power), motherboard sata port. When the
drive is not recognized, does a coldboot redetect it? Does the drive start
any audible clicking? What model of drive is it? Make sure the drive is
dusted off, increase the cooling, and try again; I have a drive that flakes
out if the three speed antec fan in front of it is only on low but stabilizes
when kept cooler; its a great hint to me that the drive is near life's end.
