There certainly seems to be a bug here, either in the documentation or the implementation. The example you mention works as expected for me on 9-CURRENT, but the --include option fails on, for example: tar -cvf new.tar --include='baz' foo/bar In your example here, the first item tar inspects is foo/bar, which does not match the pattern and therefore is not included. Excluding a directory excludes everything in the directory. The net result is the same as if you had specified: tar -cvf new.tar --exclude='foo/bar' foo/bar tar(1) states The --include option is especially useful when filtering archives. If I understand your comments correctly, this statement should be changed to state that the option is, in fact, _only_ useful when filtering archives. The current description of the option is misleading. b. ___ 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

Something has happened and there seems to be some OS corruption. I am not sure what did it but symlinks all over the system seem to be gone. Links like /home pointing at /usr/home. The data is still there in /usr/home/user_blah but the link pointing there is gone. There could be more issues that I have not discovered yet. I would like to repair the base os from the 8.0 DVD. I believe I should use the livecd/fixit method. Is this the right way to go about doing this? Are there some concise instructions for this? Will this affect the installed ports, ie. things like getting rid of all the configs in /usr/local/etc, rc.conf, passwd, /etc/groups ? I imagine I will need to reinstall all the ports like one would do after a buildworld. You should be able to fix this without needing to use a livecd, or overwriting the installation currently on your drive. So long as you can get the system up to at least single user mode, and mount all the partitions, you can build and reinstall the system from source. Follow the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html You may need to install the system sources -- you can get them from the installation media, but it's more common to use csup(1). I'm pretty sure you could use freebsd-update(8) (if that's your preferred update mechanism) to achieve the same effect, but I don't know exactly what you'ld have to do to force it to reinstall anything damaged. Hmmm... if what is happened is that some rogue process has deleted all of the symbolic links on your system, then the worst problem you'll have is shared libraries not working correctly. Most of the rest of the symlinks in the base system are to do with man pages or locale data, which you can probably survive without, at least for a while. You'll also need to fix any installed ports: the simplest way to do that is to force re-install any of your ports where 'pkg_info -g portname' indicates there may be a problem.

Zpool import failure, metadata checksum fails 8.0-RELEASE
Hello, all-- An unexpected powercycle apparently introduced (thanks to my system's RAID controller) metadata checksum errors on the system. Attempts to import that pool on any system hangs the command (such that it cannot even be killed). I tried pulling out the OpenSolaris (2009.07) cd that I had on-hand, but the livecd couldn't find any of the pools in the system--so no help there. I'm certain a scrub will fix the metadata problems (with or without dataloss, the data isn't critical enough to worry about losing a file or ten -- losing everything is more of a pain). Anyone have any ideas for how I can get this pool fixed? I'm working on getting 8.0-STABLE sources downloaded (via cvsup) for testing. --Joseph Lenox ___ 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

package, I can't use ports because it appears that they have blocked the

So I am wondering what can I do?
Do you have HTTP access from the machine, possibly via some sort of
proxy? If so, you can tell the ports system to prefer HTTP rather than
FTP for fetching sources. Or if you'ld prefer to install via pkgs, you
can just substitute 'http' for 'ftp' when downloading from ftp.freebsd.org
* To make the ports prefer downloading sources via HTTP, add this to
/etc/make.conf:
MASTER_SORT?= http
Not all ports have sources available via HTTP, but you can make the
ports system grab the distfiles by HTTP from ftp.freebsd.org like so:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
* To set up global FTP or HTTP proxies to be used by fetch(1), create
environment variables:
FTP_PROXY = http://your.proxy.server:3128
HTTP_PROXY = http://your.proxy.server:3128
You'll need to adapt that to local circumstances, obviously. Not all
proxies work via HTTP on port 3128, that's just what you'ld get with
squid. See fetch(3) for details of what environment settings you can
play with.
Note: a handy way to add those variables globally to all login sessions
is to use /etc/login.conf You want to change this line:
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
to read
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES,FTP_PROXY=http\c//your.proxy.server\c3128,HTTP_PROXY=http\c//your.proxy.server\c3128:\
* To make the pkg system use HTTP to download packages, you can set
another environment variable:
PACKAGEROOT = http://ftp.freebsd.org
See pkg_add(1) for details.

Matthew

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks.) http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/index.html has a lot of user-supplied information. I've used FreeBSD on Acer Aspire One models AOA150 and D250. Most of the basic hardware is the same on all brands: Atom processor, Intel chipset. Potential problem areas are card readers, wireless, and even wired Ethernet. Watch out for the Poulsbo/GMA500 video in newer netbooks. Sounds like xorg is questionable on them so far. Keep an eye on the ethernet and wireless cards too. Be sure _not_ to buy anything that comes with Broadcom chipsets (be it ethernet or wireless) specially if you are buying from Dell. Best advice I could give you is: - Set a top price: How much will you spent on it. - Based on that number, look for the netbook you like the most (given that they all pack almost the same hardware ... looks and probably keyboard are what make the difference... at least until AMD/ATI netbooks start to show up) - Once you have a candidate, use google to try and get the output of lspci -vv (that's 2 v, and not 1 w) from somebody running linux on the netbook you have chosen. ( the output of pciconf -lbcv will probably be harder to get .. ) - Make sure all the hardware ( or at least the parts you care about ) are fully supported under FreeBSD. Specially: suspend/resume as we are talking on a netbook in here and hence .. full suspend/resume support is vital. - With all that info in your hands, come back, post it to the list and ask if somebody owns the netbook you'd like to buy .. what problems they've run into (if any) and how was their experience running FreeBSD under that particular netboook. - Having done that, and knowing in advanced what you are about to get into ... just decide whether to spend your hard earned money on it or not =) My take? I decided to wait (for the last 4 months with the money on my wallet) until Dell released the new version of the Dell Latitude 2100 .. and then the Latitude 2110 showed up a week or so ago .. After seeing they went with the lackluster Atom N470 and it's crappy video chipset instead of going with the new AMD/ATI combo, that they only offer Dell Wireless cards (which AFAIK are all based on Broadcom chips) with no option to pick an intel 5100, and knowing they use soldered Broadcom ethernet chips, I decided not to spend my money on it and spend it in something that works for me, instead of spending it on something that only works for them =) I have Compaq Pressario with a Broadcom chips here. You know, I always get troubles with my wireless connection :) Tips: - Do not buy anything with Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M ethernet cards. - Do not buy anything with Broadcom Corporation chips - Do not buy anything with Broadcom Corporation components - Do not buy anything that has the word Broadcom written on it or in its packaging, manuals or documentation. - Always look for harware from manufacturers that make their chipsets documentation available to the public, or at least, to the devels of different Open Source (specially BSD) projects. - Even if it's not my cup of tea and I am in no way recommending you to even consider them, _do_ take a look in here as it has a lot of information: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee Hope that helped =) Best luck on your buy Thank you so much, Gonzalo.

That's actually a very hard problem if you really need /real time/ mirroring. If you can stand a delay of a few minutes for changes to propagate, then simply running rsync(1) in a cron job should do -- it's simple to set up, robust and probably quite a lot faster than you expect. You will have to handle any issues to do with file locking and having postfix close and reopen any descriptors on those files if necessary. Otherwise, there are two strategies to consider: * Use a network mounted filesystem. This can work like a charm, or it can be a complete nightmare depending on what postfix needs to do with the shared files. Locking and exclusive access tends to be a problem. You'ld need to look at something like HAST if you want a resilient solution, or your fileserver will be a single point of failure. * Use a network database -- in this case, I'd think LDAP would be a good choice. This is pretty fast in operation, and you can make it resilient pretty easily by replicating the database. Downside is extra work when setting everything up.

Re: amavisd - exited on signal 11 - FreeBSD 8 with Perl 5.10
* Hans F. Nordhaug hans.f.nordh...@himolde.no [2010-04-29]: * Hans F. Nordhaug hans.f.nordh...@himolde.no [2010-04-29]: Hi! I have been happily running Postfix with amavisd-new (and Clamav and SpamAssassin) on FreeBSD 7 with Perl 5.8 for a long time. Recently, I upgraded to FreeBSD 8 and rebuilt all ports (after updating). Suddenly I saw many kernel: pid x (perl), uid 110: exited on signal 11 lines in /var/log/messages and mailq returns some messages with comments like: (lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) Cutting a lot of debug statements here - see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-April/215759.html for my complete original messages I finally found the problem - the spamassassin bayes db. For some reason Perl (or really spamassassin) exited on signal 11 when reading the bayes db. The reason it took my so long to find the problem was: 1) I was lazy and in stead of testing with su vscan -c 'spamassassin -D -t msg.txt' as recommended, I just ran spamassassin -D -t msg.txt as root. The later command didn't exit with signal 11, while the first did - it stopped after [...] check: pms new, time limit in 293.202 s locker: mode is 384 locker: safe_lock: created /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex locker: safe_lock: trying to get lock on /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes with 10 timeout locker: safe_lock: link to /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex: link ok bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_seen bayes: found bayes db version 3 2) The debug in /var/log/maillog (as posted in my earlier messages) was [...] bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_toks bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/W /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_seen bayes: found bayes db version 3 locker: refresh_lock: refresh /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes.lock It didn't stop at the same point - bayes: found bayes db version 3. 3) sa-learn didn't report any problems with the bayes db. Anyway, the solution was simple - rm -rf /var/amavis/.spamassassin/*. I guess I should have asked on the amavisd mailing list, but at least this is documented here now for other FreeBSD users that get this problem after upgrading from Perl 5.8 to 5.10.

It might show something else running or trying to run when you have your lockups. Try ps -axw -o user,pid,ppid,pgid,tt,start,time,command. 2. Get the PID of the bash session, and run something like this as root: pid=12345 k=1 while true; do truss -p $pid 21 | head -1000 /dir-with-lots-of-space/$k k=`expr $k + 1` done This should break the truss output into 1000-line chunks and let you clean out the directory before it chews up all your space. Hopefully one of the truss files will show something useful after a lockup. Thanks for the ideas. I keep several windows with shells open so I don't want to trace all of them yet. I don't even know what the shells are doing when they lock up, so for now I'll just wait until one locks up and then try truss to see what it is actually doing. This happens only occasionally, so I will probably have to wait a while. I don't know this is actually just a bash problem since I have never had it happen running on Linux in at least 10 years. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ 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

By lockup, I mean that it stops responding to the keyboard and uses 100% CPU. It will sometimes go for days with no problems, but I had two yesterday, and other today. They have occurred on test systems running in VirtualBox and on a real computer, both i386 and amd64 images, and a mixture of 7.1, 7.3 and 8.0. They usually seem to happen when I am switching tabs in konsole or switching shells in screen, but other times I think they happen when I am not even using the system. The only thing I have found I can do is to do a kill -9 and start a new shell. Does this lock-up happen if you leave the shell 'idle' for too long over an ssh session?
