FreeBSD 8.0 how to enter kernel debugger inside vmware
Hi all I have an unstable machine running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE inside vmware. It freezes on average once a week but doesn't panic, so i would like to enter the kernel debugger, to at least being able to force a panic. Unfortunately, i have no serial interface and can't enter into the debugger on the console using ctrl-alt-esc either, because it conflicts with the key sequence to leave the console in the vmware client. What can i do? many thanks and best regards -Daniel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you change the keyfile the metadata is changed and the old keyfile becomes useless; but if the attacker also has the old metadata file they can make use of the old keyfile. Likewise if someone has the metadata you lose the ability to delete all copies of it making the partition instantaneously unrecoverable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: ipfw: limit bandwidth
Hello, Martin.
First of all you must decide you want your shaper rule act as allow
rule or not:
kes# sysctl -a | grep one_pass
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 0 or 1
man ipfw
pipe pipe_nr
Pass packet to a dummynet(4) ``pipe'' (for bandwidth limitation,
delay, etc.). See the TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
Section for further information. The search terminates; however,
on exit from the pipe and if the sysctl(8) variable
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass is not set, the packet is passed again to
the firewall code starting from the next rule.
Second you do not need to put packet to pipe and to queue at same
time.
use pipe to just limit rate or use queue to limit rate and process
groups of packets in round robin manner. packets are grouped my mask
pipe is like this:

queue is like this:

booting off GPT partitions
Hey I was under the impression that everyone and their dog is using GPT partitioning in FreeBSD these days, including for boot drives and that I was just being unlucky with my current NAS motherboard (Intel D945GCLF2) having supposedly shaky support for GPT boot. But right now I am having an email exchange with Supermicro support (whom I contacted since I am pondering their X7SPA-H board for a new system), who are telling me that booting off GPT requires UEFI BIOS, which is supposedly a very new thing and that for example NONE of their current motherboards have support for this.

Re: booting off GPT partitions
GPT booting is I believe only natively supported using an EFI BIOS. However if you wish to use GPT booting with FreeBSD its not too hard, you just cant install using sysinstall. The Examples section of the gpart manpage is what i used to configure the disk for my home server, a zotac ion atom based board (dont have any production servers at work using it at the moment.) Then i just installed using the files on the usb image. From what I understand gpart installs the pmbr file as a basic bootstrap in the protective MBR present in the GPT partition scheme, this is bootable by a standard bios and is able to understand enough GPT to look for a freebsd boot partition, load the bootcode in that, which loads the kernel etc. So no they arent completely misguided, but its certainly possible to use a GPT scheme without an EFI BIOS. What I would like is an efi bootloader for i386 so I can get my powerbook to run FreeBSD again as it has got an efi bios and bootcamp wont boot freebsd for me at the moment :( Vince Dan Naumov wrote: Hey I was under the impression that everyone and their dog is using GPT partitioning in FreeBSD these days, including for boot drives and that I was just being unlucky with my current NAS motherboard (Intel D945GCLF2) having supposedly shaky support for GPT boot.

Am I misunderstanding something or is the Supermicro support tech misguided? Perhaps both :-) It depends on what booting capabilities you need from your BIOS. With FreeBSD we currently typically don't use pure GPT and use Protective MBR and install real boot code into a special boot partition. Protective MBR looks like a normal MBR to BIOS, and boot code in Protective MBR is smart to find the boot partition and hand off boot process to code in it. This way you can almost have the best of both worlds, but with some limitations (like multibooting). I don't know what other OSes do or expect in this area.

named error sending response: not enough free resources
NOTE: Please reply off-list as well as I am not subscribed My server (7.2-STABLE) suffered at least two outages Sunday through yesterday after having been up since July (it is a rented dedicated server with my FSBD install). The first time, I was able to log in via remotely, saw a ton of spam apparently abusing a php mail form script (more on that later) filling the /var partition. I purged it, but it still required a reboot as CPU was through the roof. Yesterday morning, I was unable to get into the server at all...pings were very high.

Migrating Thunderbird 3 Email Archives from XP Pro SP3 to FreeBSD 8.0
I've done some searching on the Thunderbird (TB) website and have posted the question at one of their support forums, but I felt I should ask here, too, just in case someone else has confronted this. I only use POP3 to retrieve email (the merits of POP3 vs IMAP not withstanding) and store locally so I have easy and offline access to it. For about two years now I've been using XP to retrieve and check my email, upgrading through various versions of TB without a problem. Now I'm confronted with an issue I've not faced before (or attempted to confront). Transferring archives from one computer to another. I know where they are kept on the XP machine, I /think/ I know where they are kept on my FreeBSD box (nothing a little ls -a won't help me find). My question is if this even possible since Mozilla Foundation went to using binary archives for the email. I think it might be, but I'm not really wanting to waste the time to only be frustrated in the end. Has anyone attempted such a migration? Did you need any special tools? If not, was it as simple as copy/pasting into the appropriate directory structure? Or do I need to set up the accounts in TB on my FreeBSD box /first/ then copy/paste? TIA for reading and especially for helping (if you can)!

Swap Partition First?
Our FreeBSD systems mostly have a very simple disk layout. There is a 1 or 2-gigabyte swap partition and all the rest is FreeBSD. When manually configuring these partitions in sysinstall, I usually set up swap first with a 1GB size and then use the remaining space by selecting the values as defaults. An attempt to script this in an install.cfg file is not going well. The disk formatting part of the file is as follows: disk=ad0 partition=all bootManager=none diskPartitionEditor #Entire disk is FreeBSD. diskPartitionWrite # All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! # #1G swap followed by / on rest of disk. # ad0s1-2=swap 2097152 #All the rest is FreeBSD with soft updates. ad0s1-1=ufs 0 / 1 # Let's do it! diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit # OK, everything is set. Do it! installCommit This doesn't work. sysinstall reports that it can't write the swap space. fdisk reports a FreeBSD partition and all the others are shown as free. Any ideas? Thank you.

The only thing that looks out of place is that you have defined ad0s1-2 before ad0s1-1. I've never tested it, but perhaps this is causing it to get confused when calculating the disk layout? In other words, perhaps you should use #1G swap followed by / on rest of disk. # ad0s1-1=swap 2097152 #All the rest is FreeBSD with soft updates. ad0s1-2=ufs 0 / 1 so they are defined in numerical sequence.

Is their Automatic command to send a JPG file using FTP
Hi, I am looking to see if there a command or a script In BSD Os that will allow me to ftp to a server automatically and get a file from another server. User name and passwd will be already in the script so it will run ftp and download a file or a JPG from that server. Like in Linux OS there is a command using .netrc file and you can script that file and will automatically do what is in the file at time interval that you want.

Weird build errors only on 3rd core of quad core CPU
I am suspecting a broken CPU, but am not sure. These commands: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/hal cpuset -c -l 2 make Will always result in errors, for example this one: gmake: *** No rule to make target `...@maintainer_mode_true@', needed by `config.h.in'. Stop. *** Error code 1 Sometimes the error occurs in a different place. When I check the input files, they are indeed broken. Gcc stops because of syntax errors for example. The configure process always completes, but apparently it creates broken files. When I run make on any other core, it always completes successfully: cpuset -c -l 0,1,3 make I've checked with script that the output of the build process is exactly the same, up until the error occurs. I've also tried to run cpuburn on that core, but it didn't find any problem. It's really weird that system is otherwise very stable. What do you guys think the problem is?

RE: Help booting FreeBSD with a ZFS root filesystem
I didn't want a mirror though, I wanted a stripe. I still don't understand why what I'm doing isn't working. As far as I know, having the root pool on a stripe isn't supported. OpenSolaris supports having the root pool on a simple pool and a mirror pool. FreeBSD supports having the root pool on a simple pool, mirror pool and raidz, but afaik booting off raidz used to have issues. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Tried 4 runs, on each core. I'm not sure I recall all the details correctly without checking, but I thought there were some early samples or generations of these processors that were not the same as the final production releases. Something to do with being Phenom cores that had L3 cache disabled, being released as early engineering samples but the die of the final products is different with no L3 cache present from manufacturing. I'd check into the stepping and if it turns out not to be a final version get whoever you bought it from to replace it. It may not be the core itself, but bad L1/L2 cache. It's either that or the only other difference is you're running stable, and I'm not.

I wondered about that. I didn't know how smart the allocater was. Technically, when I defined ad0s1-1 as being the rest of the disk, nothing else had been defined yet so that should mean 100% of the disk. That's called thinking too much.

Re: Migrating Thunderbird 3 Email Archives from XP Pro SP3 to FreeBSD 8.0

I know where they are kept on the XP machine, I /think/ I know where they are kept on my FreeBSD box (nothing a little ls -a won't help me find). My question is if this even possible since Mozilla Foundation went to using binary archives for the email. I think it might be, but I'm not really wanting to waste the time to only be frustrated in the end. Has anyone attempted such a migration? Did you need any special tools? If not, was it as simple as copy/pasting into the appropriate directory structure? Or do I need to set up the accounts in TB on my FreeBSD box /first/ then copy/paste? TIA for reading and especially for helping (if you can)! (: I made the same migration in the opposite direction. It's a straight copy from one system to the other.

When booting release 8.0 i no longer get the fd0 floppy device prob message. This pc has run freebsd 6.4 7.0 7.2 which all supported the floppy drive. Has floppy drive support been dropped in 8.0? I know the floppy drive works because i can boot win98 floppy disk ok. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I copied my FreeBSD Thunderbird archives to Windows 7 Thunderbird on a dual boot system using a USB memory key. Copy the contents of C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\.default\Mail\Local Folders\ to /usr/home/username/.thunderbird/.default/Mail/Local Folders/ That's it. Randy That is completely awesome to know.
