ugh. dump / restore problem(s) Cannot find file dump list
I needed to expand a /var partition, which required saving and restoring /var and /usr did the following: booted to backup disk dump -0aR -h 0 -f /usr/backup/dump_var_0_20121113_1920 /dev/ada0p4 (repeat for /tmp, /usr, / partitions to be safe) repartitioned the main disk using gpart newfs the modified partitions (var, tmp, usr) rewrote the boot block and boot partition (#1) mount /dev/ada0p4 /mnt/ssd/var cd /mnt/ssd/var restore -r /usr/backup/dump_var_0_20121113_1920 Cannot find file dump list Any ideas why I get the Cannot find file dump list? What / where is it supposed to be? I was able to get some stuff back from one of the files, but only by doing: #restore -if /usr/backup/dump_usr_0_201121113_1920 restore verbose restore add libdata restore extract Extract requested files You have not read any tapes yet If you are extracting just a few files, start with the last volume and work towards the first; restore can quickly skip tapes that have no further files to extract. Otherwise, begin with volume 1. Specify next volume #: 1 Mount tape volume 1 Enter none if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /usr/backup/dump_usr_0_20121113_1920) unknown tape header type -2 abort [yn] n resync restore, skipped 786 blocks extract file ... ... Add links Set directory mode, owner, and times. Set owner / mode for '.' [yn] y restore If I did not enter Enter after the otherwise enter tape name, but rather entered none I did not get all of the desired contents. Can anyone shed light on this problem? I have been able to restore most everything from a cp I had done at the same time, but I'm not very confident in the results. Fortunately, user data was on a different disk. Obviously, should have done a restore -rN ... before repartitioning. Ugh. Related question: I now realize I should not have answered y to the set owner / mode question, as it changed the mode to the default for root instead of doing what I thought which was restoring the owner / mode to what was saved in the dump. Will restore -x /usr/backup/dump... correct the owner and mode? (and group and flags?)

I doubt it. The only access to the host is via ssh. The last log is not damaged or altered, the all.log is no altered too. The only person who accessed the server is me. Also, the file is restored in some previous condition, but i do not make backups of it and copies are not stored anywhere. I doubt that someone made copies from 2011 and 2012 to the overwrite it. That seems highly unlikely. Have you ever call the police ? Ever - yes, in this case - no. Do you monitor access to your box? Yes. Nothing suspicious found.

It was obviously a mistake. I have heard that they brought it back after decades of no comma in the tag line. do you mean that it was Play boy? or what? what was the tag line? Playboy alles was Maennern Spass macht Ouch. Unlike in English, the comma in German is an important symbol in grammar. It brings structure to sentences. In English, there is the word order that achieves this goal, and a comma is mostly optional or left to preferences. In German, there are rules where to place a comma, and where not to. Those rules are relatively easy to understand, and luckily they do not leave much space for individual preferences. :-) In the above example, Playboy, alles was Maennern Spass macht or better using a hyphen Playboy - alles was Maennern Spass macht would have been correct, as it's shown on the current web page in a correct manner. I have had to open playboy.de again. Just for the comma. I think that it is a bit more complicated. Especially as Playboy is here the brand 'Alles, was Maennern Spass macht' is the tag line and needs a comma after alles. Playboy does it now properly in the header of their site but wrongly in the title. Your second line with the hyphen is there the best option if there would be the comma after alles. I never would have believed that Playboy becomes part of a serious discussion which started with an sshd problem. Ok, the world knows now the importance of Playboy for the IT world.

Mounting SD card.
Hi, I can't make my SD card reader work. It is from a 4 years old Compaq PC. It works fine in Linux however. I'm using 9.0 release with stock kernel. If I boot the system and plug the SD card in, the green led doesn't even switch on and there is only a /dev/da0 that I can not mount. If I boot the system with the card plugged in, the green led is on and there is a /dev/da0s1 device that I can't still mount because mount_msdosfs returns an Input/Output error after some time.

Is it simply where the os writes stuff which is sensitive, and putting it in a rwx-- directory avoids potential security issues regarding file access? or is there more to it than that? ___ 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
rm -rf and flags (schg, sunlnk)
Assuming one makes a mirror of a file system for backup purposes, then renames the mirror and makes another one, then attempts to remove the original using rm -rf, the rm will fail if any of the files have the schg or sunlnk bits set. Is there an easy way around this problem other than traversing the whole subtree, finding files with the flags set and unsetting them? thanks, Gary ___ 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

Two options:
find /PATH -flags schg -exec chflags noschg {} +
or
chflags -R noschg /PATH
Then
rm -rf /PATH

Re: Mounting SD card.
On Wednesday 14 November 2012 19:43:30 Fernando Apesteguía wrote: If I boot the system and plug the SD card in, the green led doesn't even switch on and there is only a /dev/da0 that I can not mount. If I boot the system with the card plugged in, the green led is on and there is a /dev/da0s1 device that I can't still mount because mount_msdosfs returns an Input/Output error after some time. I think that's pretty much standard behaviour. The solution appears to be to wake it up with the following incantation: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/da0 count=0 That's what works here.

Re: Advanced Format Drive ?

May I assume that if I just want to merely ``try out'' GPT... you know... taking it out on the road for a first time test run... that I can just do the first five (5) commands listed under EXAMPLES and then that will be enough to go ahead and try installing FreeBSD into the created freebsd-ufs partition? Even assuming that the answer is yes, I have still more questions... Where are these magic numbers coming from?? I am specifically talking about the number 34 in the -b 34 option and also the number 162 in the -b 162 option. Tha man page just tosses those into the example command lines without saying a word about them. And you can probably guess what it is that is especially troubling to me about them... neither one of them is divisible by 8 (i.e. 4KB/512B). So would the examples in the current gpart(8) man page produce an Epic Fail when and if they were used with a modern Advanced Format drive? -b is the beginning block of a partition. 34 is a magic value, the size of a standard GPT partition table. A good overall reference on GPT is the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table Remember that the man page is a reference, not a tutorial. I wanted more specific notes that followed best practices, and that was the source for this article: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html In general, you create a partition scheme first. This can be MBR, GPT, or others. (But use GPT.) Rather than combine the bootcode with the partition table, GPT just uses a small partition for it. Since the standard GPT allows for up to 128 partitions, there's no reason not to use them. Next come other partitions for UFS or ZFS filesystems or swap. That's it, really. The rest is details the man page can explain, like additional options for alignment. (The creation of the first UFS partition in the article does not use -a because older versions of gpart did unexpected things when -a and -b were combined. The alignment produced is correct.) ___ 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: why sync during shutdown when sync already done?
On Wed, 14 Nov 2012 19:32:46 -0700, Gary Aitken wrote: It's my understanding that the sequence of numbers one sees output when shutdown is issued reflect writes of cached items. Is that correct? If so, why does: sync shutdown -r now still show cached items being written? Issuing the sync command simply tells the OS to sync any modified file I/O buffers (cache) that aren't written yet. It does not imply that the OS will do it _exactly now_, and even more, that it will _have done_ it when the command returns. So if you call sync(), the kernel will be instructed to perform the syncing operation. But keep in mind that the actual device drivers (e. g. for the hard disk in question) may delay the transfer to the disk, but tell the kernel that the operation has been completed. This minimal time window can probably be ignored, but from my understanding, syncing is a multi-staged process. The shutdown sync seems to have a specific timeout that makes sure things get written definitely. That's why even the famous # sync ; sync ; sync ; reboot sequence would have the same effect. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
perl, rrdtool issue
Hi Guys, Yesterday I issued the following command which I regretted: portupgrade -CPy, and this little tool installed perl 5.12 while perl 5.10 was already on the system. Since then everything is messed up. Now I deleted perl 5.10 and reinstalled perl 5.10 and everything which depends on it and still have the following error: # portversion -v [Updating the pkgdb format:bdb_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 626 packages found (-1 +0) (...) done] Stale dependency: bsdpan-RRDp-0.99.0 -- perl-5.10.1_7 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. I tried pkgdb -F but it can't fix, also tried to delete rrdtool and reinstall, but still the same issue. I'm running 8.3-RELEASE-p3. Do you have any idea how to solve this issue? Thx!

Amanda not working in 8.3
Hi, Since I updated all my servers from previous versions of FreeBSD to 8.3 (p4), Amanda started failing for any big back-up. I cannot trace the problem and would appreciate some help. For one of the big file system, I did a manual tar-gzip-ssh to amanda server. It proceeded well, so it seems it is not a timeout in process or network. TIA.
