Try sending your results of `zpool status`, `zpool get all tank`, and 
`zfs get all tank` and maybe someone can find some quirk.

 OK, it works very well. Installing a ZFS FreeBSD system with an ufs /boot

 In OpenSolaris you can install directly to the zfs mirror, but how's this

 Hope I phrased the question clearly enough.

Hello Community,

 Like others said in their answer to your question, you don't have to put
/boot on UFS, just go with root on ZFS.
If you would like speed when installing the system I recommend mfsBSD -
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/. As pointed out
in the web page there is a script (zfsinstall) that does all the work for
you. It does all the steps described in the
wiki - http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror.

 If you want to gain knowledge about the process of installing FreeBSD with
root on ZFS then go with the wiki
article. Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5
seconds. That's pretty neat :).

a great day,
v

ZFS on root and find performance

2011-06-23 Thread Andrew Moran

Is anyone else running zfs on root and running into very slow finds?   The 
/etc/periodic/daily/450.status-security can take over a noisy HD thrashing hour 
to finish, the culprit being the find that crawls the filesystem.

I'm hoping there is some I'm not sure if there if some simple zfs tuning I need 
to do to improve the performance on this.  I'm looking for what others use for 
their ZFS settings.

Thanks!

I was doing, too. I believe zfs requires 4+ GB RAM and 4+ CPUs (or cores) and 
1+ TB of storage space to be useful.

But SGI's XFS requires nothing like that, although it is not fully supported on 
FreeBSD but on those systems it is being designed fpr it requires no tuning for 
the performance of the any kind of acceptance.

I think UFS is still a rather choice for many old machines for which FreeBSD is 
a competent option for.

  Obviously users of version 4 will be more or less forced to
  update to version 5 which is now in the ports system. What amazes

My morning-fogged mind says Version 4 was out less than a year.

Correct! When Microsoft EOL'd a ten year old OS (XP) the wailing's from
certain factions was deafening. Now with Mozilla EOLing a product less
than a year old the sounds of silence seem to be propagating.

The best part is that many of my add-ons again no longer work. From
what I can see in the ports system, and I may be wrong, there is not an
option to use the version 4 either although remnants of version 3x
seem to still be available. It appears that a user is forced into
version 5 from version 4. Wow, and people bitch about Microsoft's update
policies.

Well the main difference is, there was a lot of software that would run
only on win XP for large companies, internal web applications, home made
banking software...

With FF, it's just a version bump, addons will get fixed (or not) and
that is it.

I for one was much more bothered by XP's EOL than I am with FF bumping.

Although, I'll give you, I'm as confused as everyone regarding this 4-5
bump, surely they could have done 4.1 or something...

Much less than a year.  V4 came out in April.

I'm wondering what the big deal is that Mozilla felt they needed to bump
the major version number?  There don't seem to have been many user
visible changes between 4 and 5, and (only seen momentarily flashing
past, so may not be correct) the delta between 4 and 5 that my Mac
downloaded was only about 10MB.  That doesn't seem to me to add up to
the sort of large scale reworking that a major version bump should imply.

  Obviously users of version 4 will be more or less forced to
  update to version 5 which is now in the ports system. What amazes
  me is how quick support was pulled from version 4.

My morning-fogged mind says Version 4 was out less than a
year.

Correct! When Microsoft EOL'd a ten year old OS (XP) the wailing's from
certain factions was deafening. Now with Mozilla EOLing a product less
than a year old the sounds of silence seem to be propagating.

The best part is that many of my add-ons again no longer work. From
what I can see in the ports system, and I may be wrong, there is not an
option to use the version 4 either although remnants of version 3x
seem to still be available. It appears that a user is forced into
version 5 from version 4. Wow, and people bitch about Microsoft's update
policies.

The major difference is that when updating Microsoft's OS from a major 
version to another you have to pay.
I'm not flaming, I just want to focus on the fact that this products

What is surprising is why it is not a 4.1 release, I'm not following

What has been changed in FF 5 that needs this release number change ?

1-ClickWeather for Firefox fails under Firefox-5

2011-06-23 Thread Carmel
I just updated to the new Firefox-5 browser. Unfortunately, the
1-ClickWeather for Firefox (Weather Channel) fails. I tried to remove
and re-install the add-on but the results were the same.

This is the error message:

[Exception... Component returned failure code: 0x80520012
(NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIFileInputStream.init]  nsresult:
0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)  location: JS frame ::
chrome://1clickweather/content/js/utils/filemanager.js ::
TOP_LEVEL :: line 233  data: no]

Apparently, this add-on works fine under MAC, Linux and Microsoft so
the only this I can think of is that the problem lies with FreeBSD. I
have FreeBSD-8.2/amd64 installed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

 I'm not sure what you mean by DO processing, but validation requires a
 little more than issuing queries w/ the DO bit set (that has been the
 default in BIND for a while).  You need to have the root (or some other)
 trust-anchor configured, and you need to enable DNSSEC validation in your
 named.conf.
 
 Only after that will you see the AD bit at the stub.
 
 Actually, typically with a correctly configured validating resolver, as
 an end user issuing queries from the system's stub resolver, you'll only
 see responses with data that is either:
 
 -- completely unsigned

And this will _not_ have the AD bit.

 
 -- signed, and that validates correctly

This will have the AD bit, but only if there is a verifiable chain of trust
leading from a configured trust-anchor.

 
 Data that doesn't validate correctly is discarded.  Better make sure
 your DNSSEC setup is correctly maintained and updated, or your domains
 may effectively disappear from the net.

This actually depends on exactly what you mean by doesn't validate, and
how the resolver is configured:  If the chain of trust does not lead to this
zone, then the resolver can be configured to return data without setting the
AD bit (this is the default for most early movers on DNSSEC).  If there IS a
valid chain of trust, and the crypto doesn't verify, then you are right,
data is not returned (unless the CD bit is set).

 
 validates correctly is a function of how your recursive resolver is
 configured: for instance, you will probably want to trust DLV secured
 data until authentication paths up to the root become more prevalent in
 all corners of the DNS.

I strongly disagree!  Now that the root, .com, .net, .edu, .gov, .org, etc.
are signed (over 65 TLDs), the few _debatable_ reasons to use DLV are really
gone.  Today, if there is no chain to a zone, then you (as the resolver
operator) can decide if you want to configure the TA manually, or wait until
the zone operator gets their DS in their parent zone.  In either case, the
typical DNSSEC validating resolver configuration will return data for these
zones, just not setting the AD bit.  Don't forget (also), that using DLV
exposes the privacy of exactly what zones you are querying to the external
party running the DLV.  You will essentially tell that party what zones your
are querying by asking for those zones' DLV records.

LTO3 tape drive not detected

2011-06-23 Thread Joe in MPLS


I have FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE running on an HP DL360 G5. I recently added 
an (HP branded) LSI Logic single channel SCSI 320 card and attached an 
HP Ultrium 920 LTO3 tape drive.


The system sees the SCSI controller as mpt0, and it seems to know 
there's something at SCSI ID 4, but I get an AutoSense Failed for 
hba/id/lun 0:4:0 at boot and subsequent camcontrol rescans.


I checked the supported hardware doc for the release but it doesn't get 
very specific about tape drives. This is my first experience with LTO3 
tape. I was hoping that I'd automagically get a /dev/sa0 device like I 
always did with my old DLT drives but it wasn't to be this time.


Is there a way to make this drive work?

We were, or at least I was under the impression we were, discussion web
browsers. Microsoft and Mozilla both made significant changes in the
browsers before bumping the major version number. In this particular
instance, it appears that has not happened. What really bothers me is
that they EOL'd the version 4 virtually without warning after only a
few months. I have never seen Microsoft or Google EOL a product that
quickly. It might have been nice to keep the version 4 available for
users who find version 5 unsuitable for whatever reason. Microsoft even
keeps IE-5 (although I don't know why) available for download.

Re: Mozilla retires Firefox 4 from security support

2011-06-23 Thread Alexandre
Hi all,

Now the different versions of Firefox are :
- Release (version)
- Aurora (version +1)
- Nightly (version +2)

With this roadmap, you don't care with the version number of the release.
There will be only one, not like before with 3.6.x, 3.5.x ...
I think this is really more easy. You will stay with your release version of
Firefox and that's all. You just have to upgrade when needed.
Mozilla can spend energy to develop it software, not to maintain an older
version whose performance (or other) are deprecated.

can't build graphics/xfig-3.2.5b on 8.2-STABLE nor databases/p5-DBD-Oracle with lang/perl5.14

2011-06-23 Thread William Bulley
First there is the xfig issue:

No matter what the setting is for I18N (WITH or WITHOUT) there is this:

cc -c -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe   -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/local/include/libpng -I/usr/local/include/X11 -I. -I/usr/local/include

e_edit.c:4252: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5b.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig.
*** Error code 1

I tracked this down to a problem in the Imakefile around line 153:

   #define I18N

This line was not commented out when building xfig using:

   # make install   (and WITHOUT_I18N=true inside /var/db/ports/xfig/options)

Looking further I found these two lines:

   -XCOMM #define I18N
   +#define I18N

inside the /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/files/patch-Imakefile patch file.  I think
this may be incorrect.  After commenting out the #define in the Imakefile, the
build of xfig was successful.

Secondly, I found that building databases/p5-DBD-Oracle when Perl 5.14 (from
lang/perl5.14) was present failed in the compilation of the Oracle.c file.
It seems that several Perl constants sv_undef, sv_yes, and sv_no (and others)
changed between Perl 5.12.3 and Perl 5.14 to PL_sv_undef, PL_yes, and PL_sv_no,
respectively.  I didn't take the time to debug this further since I had other
Perl 5.14 issues that forced me to completely rebuild my system from scratch
starting with Perl 5.12.3 (lang/perl5.12) this time.  Once I had Perl 5.12.3
built, databases/p5-DBD-Oracle built just fine.

My other problems with Perl 5.14 were observed trying to launch apache2 (2.2.19)
with mod_perl2 (2.0.5).  Those problems also went away once I rebuilt my ports
starting with Perl 5.12.3 version.  This makes me suspect Perl 5.14 changes or
the effect those changes have had on other ports in the ports tree.

Regards,

web...

I don't the answer to your question, it's been quite some time since I

 I have FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE running on an HP DL360 G5. I recently added

 HP Ultrium 920 LTO3 tape drive.
 
 The system sees the SCSI controller as mpt0, and it seems to know 
 there's something at SCSI ID 4, but I get an AutoSense Failed for 
 hba/id/lun 0:4:0 at boot and subsequent camcontrol rescans.
 
 I checked the supported hardware doc for the release but it doesn't get 
 very specific about tape drives. This is my first experience with LTO3 
 tape. I was hoping that I'd automagically get a /dev/sa0 device like I 
 always did with my old DLT drives but it wasn't to be this time.
 
 Is there a way to make this drive work?

For better diagnostics, use the camcontrol utility, options reset,
rescan, devlist and inquiry, after the system successfully booted.
There should be a listing containing the tape drive and therefore
the device node in /dev, or a more descriptive error message if
something is wrong.

% camcontrol devlist
SCANNER  2.02at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (pass0)
HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H58N 1.01   at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass1)

This example shows a SCSI scanner at 0:6:0, the controller is
an Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter (PCI), driver is ahc0, as real
SCSI hardware. If you're using the ATAPICAM facility, don't
get confused with the ATAPI devices being on that list too. :-)

 I don't the answer to your question, it's been quite some time since I
 worked with a tape drive.  Off-topic question, what type of capacities to
 tapes support now days?
 
 I think think you may have more luck posting this question to a different

Could also ask on s...@freebsd.org

  My understanding is that the stub resolver in the base system does not
  handle any DNSSEC functionality.  It's not clear (at least to me) that
  DO bit processing in stub resolvers is very useful -- without support in
  the recursive resolver you use upstream, it won't work, but if your
  recursive resolver does DO processing, then you don't need it in your
  stub resolver.
 
  Ok, my recursive resolver does DO processing. How do i tell ssh to set
  the bit ? Doesn't ssh use my base system stub resolveer to query my in
  resolv.conf configured DNS ?
  
  I'm not sure what you mean by DO processing, but validation requires a
  little more than issuing queries w/ the DO bit set (that has been the
  default in BIND for a while).  You need to have the root (or some other)
  trust-anchor configured, and you need to enable DNSSEC validation in your
  named.conf.
  
  Only after that will you see the AD bit at the stub.
 
 Actually, typically with a correctly configured validating resolver, as
 an end user issuing queries from the system's stub resolver, you'll only
 see responses with data that is either:
 
 -- completely unsigned
 
 -- signed, and that validates correctly
 
 Data that doesn't validate correctly is discarded.  Better make sure
 your DNSSEC setup is correctly maintained and updated, or your domains
 may effectively disappear from the net.
 
 validates correctly is a function of how your recursive resolver is
 configured: for instance, you will probably want to trust DLV secured
 data until authentication paths up to the root become more prevalent in
 all corners of the DNS.


The only thing i want to do at the moment is serve my local zone to my
local clients. If i do

% dig @dns +dnssec rosa.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de

i get 

;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 4,
ADDITIONAL: 3

and also i can see the D0 bit set when looking at the tcpdump. If i now
use the stub resolver through telnet/ssh the D0 bit does _not_ get set
in the query. So there is no way for the recursive NS to supply AD data,
right ?

That is correct, sorry.  If the stub doesn't request DNSSEC enabled (via the

tried any of this myself:

https://www.dnssec-tools.org/svn/dnssec-tools/trunk/htdocs/readme/README.ssh

There seemed to be a lot of people suggesting that opening bug reports will

You need to reinstall all perl modules if you upgrade perl from 5.10.x

If you do it right, there should be pretty much nothing left in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.X.Y where 5.X.Y is the version you're upgrading
from.  Specifically reinstall p5-NetAddr-IP and p5-Net-DNS

I specified the format.  This is not, however, a strictly business

Definitely get the ZIL device.  NFS performance will be almost

First there is the xfig issue:

No matter what the setting is for I18N (WITH or WITHOUT) there is this:

cc -c -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe   -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/local/include/libpng -I/usr/local/include/X11 -I. -I/usr/local/include

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5b.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig.
*** Error code 1

I tracked this down to a problem in the Imakefile around line 153:

   #define I18N

This line was not commented out when building xfig using:

   # make install   (and WITHOUT_I18N=true inside /var/db/ports/xfig/options)

Looking further I found these two lines:

   -XCOMM #define I18N
   +#define I18N

inside the /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/files/patch-Imakefile patch file.  I think
this may be incorrect.  After commenting out the #define in the Imakefile, the
build of xfig was successful.

Secondly, I found that building databases/p5-DBD-Oracle when Perl 5.14 (from
lang/perl5.14) was present failed in the compilation of the Oracle.c file.
It seems that several Perl constants sv_undef, sv_yes, and sv_no (and others)
changed between Perl 5.12.3 and Perl 5.14 to PL_sv_undef, PL_yes, and PL_sv_no,
respectively.  I didn't take the time to debug this further since I had other
Perl 5.14 issues that forced me to completely rebuild my system from scratch
starting with Perl 5.12.3 (lang/perl5.12) this time.  Once I had Perl 5.12.3
built, databases/p5-DBD-Oracle built just fine.

My other problems with Perl 5.14 were observed trying to launch apache2 (2.2.19)
with mod_perl2 (2.0.5).  Those problems also went away once I rebuilt my ports
starting with Perl 5.12.3 version.  This makes me suspect Perl 5.14 changes or
the effect those changes have had on other ports in the ports tree.

That's Flash content.  Adobe supports Windows, MacOSX, Linux, and Solaris
(from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions ).

If it is important to you that Flash works well, you should either persuade
Adobe to provide a FreeBSD version, or you should switch to using one of the
platforms on which Flash is supported.

I've been reading these lists for over 13 years, seen this discussion
many times, and the list remained open.  There were reasons for that

I'm no longer an active committer so whatever @core decides is fine

Dual Boot 8.2 and Windows 7

2011-06-23 Thread doug
I installed 8.2 from the DVD ISO. This install overwrote the MBR even though I 
selected not to write a boot record. Using the repair disk and/or bootrec does 
not work.


The answer is found in 
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105541-startup-repair-run-3-separate-times.html.


Basically you use diskpart to make sure that only the windows partition is 
marked active and then run the Startup Repair process 3 times. This is the only 
option that worked for me.

Installing X11 gives perl version conflict

2011-06-23 Thread Dieter BSD
FreeBSD 8.2
amd64

Attempting to install X11 server.

Attempt to install package xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2.tbz
gives conflict between perl-5.10.1_3 and perl-5.12.3
even when installing into clean directory tree.


# mkdir /tmp/test_pkg_install
# export PKG_DBDIR=/tmp/test_pkg_install/var/db/pkg
# pkg_add -P /tmp/test_pkg_install/   xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2.tbz


Note that some of the standard modules are provided as separate
ports since they require extra dependencies:

bsddb           databases/py-bsddb
gdbm            databases/py-gdbm
sqlite3         databases/py-sqlite3
tkinter         x11-toolkits/py-tkinter

Install them as needed.

Although libxcb can yield dramatic improvements in speed,
memory footprint, and responsiveness, and will probably
become the default Xlib for X.org/freedesktop.org, it is
still experimental software.  Some broken callers will abort()
on locking assertion failures.  As a temporary workaround, set
LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK in your environment to skip the abort().
This may result in noisy stacktrace printing.
