Quota problem

2002-09-22 Thread Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim

Hello all,

I  originally  posted  this topic under How do i know a disk is bad thread but
didn't get any replies.

Well  I've narrowed down the problem towards disk quotas. It turns out that when
I  disable  quotas, everything works fine. When I first setup quotas on /home, I
did   not  place  any quota on the user nor group, with the intention of placing
for one later. I think I know the specific problems but I'm not that sure.

1)  Does  file/dir  ownership  of another user counts? I have a single directory
with files with someone else ownership.

2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing?

3)  I  ran  file  quota.user  and  the output says it's a text file without line
terminators  but  when  I  did less on it, all I got is a repetitive sequence of
'@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all I got is a blank screen. Is this a
sign  of  the  quota.user/quota.group  is  corrupted?

When I ran these tests, I removed userquota,groupquota from /home's fstab entry.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

 Hi again
 
 I have two problems and I hope someone can help.
 
 1. I have installed FreeBSD 4.6.2 and now want to upgrade to 
 RELENG_4_6_2
 I ran cvsup stable-supfile:
 *default host=cvsup.dk.freebsd.org
 *default base=/usr
 *default prefix=/usr
 *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_6_2
 *default delete use-rel-suffix
 *default compress
 src-all
 
 But all it did was delete (almost) all the files in /usr/src. So I 
 tried:
 cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
 But still nothing.Why?
 
 The second problem is the ports.
 I have updated the ports, but I can't see all for them. I have tried 
 using /stand/sysinstall and manually browsing /usr/ports, but some are 
 missing...again why?

Resolving IP through DHCP on LAN

2002-09-22 Thread Bert Hiddink [Bendoo]

Hello, 

I have a LAN which looks like this:

Internet --- Cablemodem--- Router with DHCP-service --- 2 Winboxes, 1 Freebsd box
I have 4.6.2. release installed on the FreeBSD box. 

The router has an DHCP service and IP's are dynamicly assigned to the 3 machines 
within my LAN. 
However, when I view the DHCP Active IP Table, I see the following:
  
 Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1 
 DHCP Hostname IP Address MAC Address 
 tulin 192.168.1.101 00-80-AD-C9-25-DC 
 alfa  192.168.1.102 00-81-AC-C8-25-DA
192.168.1.104 00-C0-4F-AA-24-0C

The machines called tulin and alfa are the Win98 boxes, the last line corresponds 
to my FreeBSD 
box. It is called delta. My question: why does the name of my FreeBSD box not show 
up in the  
DHCP Active IP Table? 

If I use its IP address, I can access this box without no problem (FTP, Samba, etc.) 
However, I 
would like to access it by using its name (delta). How to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

That's not a good idea, IMO.  It is better to set LC_CTYPE
only.  Setting LC_ALL and LANG will change the output format
of several important commands, including date, ps, ls
and others.  There are scripts which try to parse their
output, which can break in various ways.

  MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1; export MM_CHARSET
  export TERM=cons25-iso8859-1
  export TERMCAP=/etc/termcap

Uhm, do not set TERMCAP to a filename (/etc/termcap would
be wrong anyway; it's in /usr/share/misc).  The TERMCAP
environment variable is meant to carry a whole termcap
entry, not a filename.  You shouldn't set TERMCAP at all.

  Still I'm unable to use the sv_SE.ISO_8859-1 specific fonts. the umlauts åäö
  Anyone got a clue about what in the enviroment that i left out?

Probably because you don't have the ISO8859-1 font loaded
to your VGA graphics card.  To do that, just set the
appropriate variables in your /etc/rc.conf file, and
everything will be set up for you during boot automatically.

Re: Quota problem

2002-09-22 Thread Matthew Seaman

On Sun, Sep 22, 2002 at 03:01:02PM +0800, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim wrote:

 
 Well I've narrowed down the problem towards disk quotas. It turns

 the specific problems but I'm not that sure.

OK.  Here's a brief rundown of what you need to do to get filesystem
quotas working.

i) Read through these man pages:

quota(1)
edquota(8)
quotacheck(8)
quotaon(8)
repquota(8)
fstab(5)

   Additionally, any of the other pages turned up by 'man -k quota' 

   ii) Prepare your system.  You need to add 'options QUOTA' to your
   kernel config and compile yourself a new kernel, or the system
   simply won't support quotas.

  iii) Add:

enable_quotas=YES
check_quotas=YES

   to /etc/rc.conf.  Now, when you reboot into your new kernel you
   would see 

Checking quotas : done
Enabling quotas : done

   printed on the console.  You don't need to reboot just yet
   though.

   iv) At this point no filesystems have been marked as using quotas.
   I'm going to use my /var partition as an example.

   Edit /etc/fstab to enable quotas on the partition.  As I don't
   want the quota files cluttering up the root of the filesystem,
   I'm going to move them into a subdirectory.

/dev/da0s1e /varufs 
rw,userquota=/var/quota/var.user,groupquota=/var/quota/var.group  2   2

   Create the /var/quota directory, and generate baseline quota
   files.  quotacheck(8) should be run when the filesystem is
   quiescent for best results:

mkdir /var/quota
quotacheck -v /var
   
   Now, set up the per-uid or per-group limits with edquota(8)

edquota -f /var username

   If you've got lots of users, set up one with default values and
   use 'edquota -p defaultuser 1000-2000' to copy the settings to
   a range of UIDs in one go.

   All of the above can be done without having quotas enabled in
   the kernel yet (although you will see many warning messages to
   that effect).

v) Turn on quotas on the partition.  If you had to modify the
   kernel in step ii), then you've got to reboot at this point.
   Otherwise you can just run:

quotaon -v /var

   vi) Check that everything seems to be working by running
   repquota(8) and quota(1).  Try adding some big files and
   testing that quota limits are enforced.

Repeat as necessary for other filesystems.  That's all there is to it.

 1) Does file/dir ownership of another user counts? I have a single
 directory with files with someone else ownership.

The quota system keeps track of the ownership of every entity created
on the file system, be it a plain file, a directory or some other
thing.  It keeps track of the changes in the number of bytes and the
number of inodes used by each UID by having hooks into the system
calls (like open(2), truncate(2), write(2), etc) that can create or
destroy files or change their size.  The quotacheck(8) command should
be used to establish a baseline when setting up quotas for the first
time, and on reboot (check_quotas=YES in /etc/rc.conf) to ensure
sanity.

The quota system will add a small amount of overhead to file IO on the
partition, but for normal usage for shell accounts and the like it's
not significant.  

 2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing?

No.  It doesn't matter if a directory contains files owned by any
number of different users, or if a users' files are scattered all over
the partition.  It doesn't matter either if you've only specified
quota limits for some of your users --- the rest will default to
having an unlimited quota.

 3) I ran file quota.user and the output says it's a text file
 without line terminators but when I did less on it, all I got is a
 repetitive sequence of '@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all
 I got is a blank screen. Is this a sign of the
 quota.user/quota.group is corrupted?

No --- the quota.user file consists of a list of fixed size records,
and uses the UID of the user as an index into the file to locate the
data for that user.  (Similarly, it uses the GID in the quota.group
file).  That means that if you have, say, a /home partition and you
are the only user with any files on the partition and your user id is
1000, then the quota.user file will consist of 1001 records, most of
which will be unused and empty.  The unused stuff is usually filled
with ascii NULL characters, often represented as '^@' when viewing a
file.

Of course, it's most unusual for root not to own any files at all on a
partition, so there should be some interesting data right at the
beginning of the file (record 0).  The fact that you're not seeing
anything

This is a DNS issue, not DHCP.  Does your router act as a caching 
nameserver?  If so then the trick with /etc/dhclient.conf might help.

You can run FreeBSD as a guest OS under vmware
(http://www.vmware.com/) I believe, although check the mailing list
archives for hints and tips,
(http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists) as people
seem to quite regularly have a bit of trouble making it all work
smoothly.  It's not free, but then nothing can be perfect.

Of course, as a FreeBSD partisan, I'd suggest installing the
emulators/vmware port (which is actually the Linux vmware server) so
FreeBSD is the host OS, and running WinME as the guest OS, but that's
just me.

Cheers,

Start windows and then use the following command in a DOS window:

That should fix things.

a dedicated server which is running FreeBsd 4.6.2 stable (i think). So I
have to begin to learn BSD as the we keep breaking it ;-)

I am Runing MySQL 3.something Apache 1.3.something and PHP 4.2.2 ( i know
that one!)

I have asked on the mysql list the apache list and the php list and they all
point the finger at each other..its like that bloody IBM advert (Its a
server problem...its an application problemetc!!)

What happens is this.

The server will run happliy for a while and then for some reason it will not
respond. I think I have narrowed it down myself to a php application we use
called OASIS which is banner serving software. It uses shared memory and for
some reason the server will refuse any request to serve pages that call this
application (You may think i should be on the OASIS website but they start
talking techinical about shared memory and stuff and it confuses me!)

Where do I begin to start de-bugging what is going on? Can anyone help me?

Thanks for any help

Boot from XP cdrom, start Recovery Console and use fixmbr command.

How to shut down cleanly by killing power

2002-09-22 Thread Petri Riihikallio

Hello

I have a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box and an UPS. I have chosen NUT 
(http://www.exploits.org/nut) as my UPS monitor. Everything compiles 
and runs fine. I have a problem with the shutdown script.

How do I shut down the system properly?

The problem is that I want to issue the command upsdrvctl shutdown, 
which switches off the power from the UPS. What do I need to do 
before that?

To be more specific. I have put a script like this in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d

-/usr/local/etc/rc.d/znut.sh:
#! /bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
su nut -c /usr/local/libexec/upsdrvctl start
su nut -c /usr/local/sbin/upsd
/usr/local/upsmon
;;
stop)
if (test -f /etc/killpower) then
echo Killing the power, bye!
/bin/sync
### what to do here ?
/usr/local/bin/upsdrvctl shutdown
### never makes it this far
else
killall upsmon
killall upsd
/usr/local/libexec/upsdrvctl stop
fi
;;
*)
 echo Usage: $0: [ start | stop ] 21
 exit 65
;;
esac
---

I have called it znut.sh, so it should run last after all other 
shutdown scripts. (Nothing else runs after it in a powerfail 
situation ;-) Can I rely on alphabetical ordering?

When the AC power is down and the UPS is almost exhausted, NUT 
creates a file /etc/killpower and starts system shutdown with 
shutdown -h now. Init then runs all scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d 
with argument stop.

When the script finds the /etc/killpower file it syncs the disks 
and switches the UPS off. This is necessary, since the power might 
return when the system is in the Press any key to reboot-state. 
Then it would wait for the keypress indefinitely.

NUT can't use shutdown -r now, since the system might start a 
reboot while the UPS still supplies power. NUT can't use shutdown -p 
now, since if the power is restored before the UPS runs dry, the 
system won't boot automatically.

The upsdrvctl shutdown avoids these deadlocks by killing power at 
the UPS. When the AC power returns, the UPS first recharges, then it 
starts supplying power and my BIOS is set up to boot when power 
returns.

My problem is that the disks aren't clean.

If I put umount -a after the sync, I can't run the upsdrvctl from 
/usr. Should I remount /usr read-only? Or should I move the NUT 
programs to /bin and umount -A. This would leave root dirty.

I have read man pages for mount and umount. Both provide the -f flag, 
but warn against using it. Could I make use of it?

The sync man page tells that halt is better since it does more than 
just a sync. Can I emulate these functions of halt from a script?

What happens after the rc.shutdown? Are there any other housekeeping 
tasks after user scripts? I couldn't find any docs on that.

How to revert from CUPS back to native printing?

2002-09-22 Thread stan

A while back I installed CUPS from the ports system on a STABLE machien. I
had a great experience with CUPS on some Debian machines on the smae
network. The FreeBSD machine doesn't do much printing, and I've been unable
to keep it from saturating the newtwork with traffic when I start the CUPS
system, so I'm giving up on it on FreeBSD.

How can I revert to teh native FreeBSD print services?

 I have BSD installed on /dev/ad1s3a.  The minor questions I have are why
 does linprocfs show up twice, and why does my swap not show up?  But the

Linprocfs shows up twice because you have mounted it twice, probably
by mistake.  If it does not appear twice in /etc/fstab, I don't know
how it happened, but you can have any number of them just by running
mount /usr/compat/linux/proc lots of times.  Most people only mount
it once, though :-)

Swap space is not shown by mount.  You can view your swap partitions
with swapinfo or pstat -s.

 big question is where did the missing HD space on ad1s3a go?
 14332M total - (2930 usedM + 10254M avail) = 1148M unaccounted for.  My
 swap (on /dev/ad1s2) is only 94M.  Anyone have any ideas?

That is the 8% reserved for root use (actually the space is reserved
so FFS can do a decent housekeeping job, but root can use it in an
emergency).

Don't know much about CUPS, but I'd think a make deinstall of the port
would suffice.  After that, just create your /etc/printcap and add
filters if needed.  Oh, and 'lpd-enable=YES' in /etc/rc.conf.

'who' in single user mode, feature or bug?

2002-09-22 Thread How Can ThisBe

I've noticed something that I'm not sure is a bug or a feature, so I'm 
posting to 'questions' first :]

If a system is placed into single user mode over a remote terminal (I'm 
using ssh in case that matters) using 'shutdown now', then a 'who' is called 
(in single user mode) at the system console it will display a list of user 
who where connected at the time of the shutdown. My understanding of 'who' 
was that it showed connected users, not ghost.

(from 'man who')
The who utility displays information about currently logged in users.

Its kind of a cool feature/bug but is it correct?

Re: font problem during rc WAS: tput and clear problem

snip
   #!/bin/sh
   LC_ALL=sv_SE.ISO_8859-1; export LC_ALL
   LANG=sv_SE.ISO_8859-1; export LANG

That's not a good idea, IMO.  It is better to set LC_CTYPE
only.  Setting LC_ALL and LANG will change the output format
of several important commands, including date, ps, ls
and others.  There are scripts which try to parse their
output, which can break in various ways.

OK, Will do.
   MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1; export MM_CHARSET
   export TERM=cons25-iso8859-1
   export TERMCAP=/etc/termcap

Uhm, do not set TERMCAP to a filename (/etc/termcap would
be wrong anyway; it's in /usr/share/misc).  The TERMCAP
environment variable is meant to carry a whole termcap
entry, not a filename.  You shouldn't set TERMCAP at all.

   Still I'm unable to use the sv_SE.ISO_8859-1 specific fonts. the 
 umlauts åäö
   Anyone got a clue about what in the enviroment that i left out?

Probably because you don't have the ISO8859-1 font loaded
to your VGA graphics card.  To do that, just set the
appropriate variables in your /etc/rc.conf file, and
everything will be set up for you during boot automatically.
A part of my previous post was snipped out, it stated that the script I'm 
writing is run before the rc.conf.
Is there a way I can set it in the script directly?
Thank you very much for your input Oliver, its much appreciated.

Virtual memory allocations and signal 11 core dumps

2002-09-22 Thread Duncan Anker

Hi all,

I posted a few weeks back about apache core dumping with signal 11 - as
it turns out, it's not just apache, but a lot of processes which are
doing it. Signal 11 is apparently indicative of hardware problems, so I
thought in this case it might be memory allocation.

I have been investigating how memory works under FreeBSD, and it seems
to be this way:

Irrespective of how much memory you really have, you have a virtual
memory size of 4Gb (maximum imposed by the 32-bit architecture). Of
this, the kernel will use 1Gb leaving 3Gb for user processes. Each
process by default is granted 128Mb data size up to a 512Mb limit. This
limit can be raised up to just under 2Gb by setting MAXDSIZ (due to the
use of a signed int, I suspect).

Given this information, and I would appreciate corrections if I have any
of it wrong, my question then becomes this - if I have, for example,
512Mb of real memory and 2Gb of swap space then that would give me a
maximum 2.5Gb (depending on how the swapper handles this). What happens
once this maximum is used up, since the system has a theoretical maximum
of another 1.5Gb? If the system actually tries to use the space
allocated through the over-committing strategy is the net result going
to be that dreaded signal 11?

For that matter, even if one does have 4Gb available, whether real or
swap, it seems entirely possible that one could run several large
processes and go over this limit. Would this cause a crash?

A more practical question might be Should I ensure that the number of
precesses running won't use more than my total available memory less the
1Gb for the kernel?

Thanks in advance
Duncan Anker

Locating performance bottlenecks

2002-09-22 Thread Duncan Anker

I'm having problems with one of our web servers. Most of them run at
around a load average of 1 or less with no problems. The troublesome one
is hitting a load average of over 30 sometimes.

The site is intensely interactive, uses a load of PHP and accesses a
database. The database is located on another server so that probably
isn't causing any problems directly.

I suspect that the database is the bottleneck and Apache is being held
up waiting for it - but I can't see where.

What performance tools are available for locating bottlenecks? I don't
want to spend a lot of time fine-tuning something that isn't the
problem, but I'm at a loss to know where to start - Everything looks
relatively normal in the standard tools.

Thanks in advance,
Duncan Anker

Fdisk will still work on a Win machine if booting from a Win9x startup

no fiddling with BIOS boot order and, at least for me, it's faster.  (It

Re: Resolving IP through DHCP on LAN

2002-09-22 Thread dfolkins

- Original Message -
From: Bert Hiddink [Bendoo] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 6:28 AM
Subject: Resolving IP through DHCP on LAN


 Hello,

 I have a LAN which looks like this:

 Internet --- Cablemodem--- Router with DHCP-service --- 2 Winboxes, 1
Freebsd box
 I have 4.6.2. release installed on the FreeBSD box.

 The router has an DHCP service and IP's are dynamicly assigned to the 3
machines within my LAN.
 However, when I view the DHCP Active IP Table, I see the following:

  Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1
  DHCP Hostname IP Address MAC Address
  tulin 192.168.1.101 00-80-AD-C9-25-DC
  alfa  192.168.1.102 00-81-AC-C8-25-DA
 192.168.1.104 00-C0-4F-AA-24-0C

 The machines called tulin and alfa are the Win98 boxes, the last line
corresponds to my FreeBSD
 box. It is called delta. My question: why does the name of my FreeBSD
box not show up in the
 DHCP Active IP Table?

 If I use its IP address, I can access this box without no problem (FTP,
Samba, etc.) However, I
 would like to access it by using its name (delta). How to achieve this?

looks like your dhclient is not configured to send a hostname to the dhcp
server.

here is a relevant excerpt from man dhclient.conf:

 send  {  [ option declaration ] [, ... option declaration
   ]}

and here is an excerpt from man dhcp-options:

option host-name string;

  This option specifies the name of the client.  The name
  may or may not be qualified with the local domain  name
  (it  is  preferable  to  use  the domain-name option to
  specify the domain name).  See RFC 1035  for  character
  set  restrictions.   This  option  is  only  honored by
  dhclient-script(8)  if  the  hostname  for  the  client
  machine  is  not  set (i.e., set to the empty string in
  rc.conf(5) ).

so, as you can see, it appears that the hostname for the freebsd machine
(delta) is being set only _after_ your box acquires its dhcp lease, and
thereby does not send the hostname to the dhcp server.  if you put the above
send line into your /etc/dhclient.conf file, like this:

send host-name delta;

your box will send the hostname to the dhcp server and all should work as
expected.  to be more correct, you may even put in something like this:

interface if0 {
send host-name delta;
}

where if0 is the name of your dhcp-configured ethernet interface (e.g.
xl0, rl0, etc).

hope this helps,
