Problem with lookupd
I have been experiencing a problem with the lookup daemon (or at least that's as far as I have been able to track it) where after 2-50 minutes of successful operation it will return a generic 'not found' error for network addresses. It seems that the cache is becoming corrupt or something. Sending a SIGHUP to lookupd resolves the problem briefly but it comes back again within 10 minutes usually. Any suggestions how this is happening or how to fix this permanently other than re-installing? Thanks in advance. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See man lookupd and the section on cache agents, specificly: CacheAgent The operation and configuration of the cache agent are described in detail in the sections above. The configuration options for the Cache agent are ValidateCache, CacheCapacity, and TimeToLive. These options may be set globally and/or for specific categories. Options set for a spe- cific category will over-ride the global setting. Note that CacheAgent should always appear first in a LookupOrder specifi- cation to allow lookupd to find cached entries before searching other information services. ...and... NILAgent The NILAgent always returns a result for a query, so it stops any search. However, it returns a negative record, which carries the meaning that the item requested does not exist. The use of negative entries in a cache is controversial, so lookupd does not include the NILAgent in its default lookup order.

Re: vinum and hot-swapping
In the last episode (Jul 13), Andrea Venturoli said: ** Reply to note from Greg 'groggy' Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat, 12 Jul 2003 17:13:29 +0930 The real performance penalty for RAID-5 is simply that writes require so much I/O. Expect 25% of the write performance of RAID-0. Ok, I must ask this: Shouldn't SCSI system allow paralell writes on different disks? If so, why so much penalty? Parallel I/Os are already being used. A short write on a RAID-5 array requires you to 1) Read the original block and the parity block (done in parallel) 2) XOR the parity block with the original block and the new block 3) Write the new block and the parity block (done in parallel) Which means that you're doing 4 times the I/O that a plain RAID-5 read would do. There's no getting around this problem for small random writes. Repeated writes to the same locations only cost two writes, since the original and parity blocks are probably still in cache. There is a threshold point where this stops being an issue, however. When your write size becomes larger than the raid-5 stripe width (stripe size * number of data disks), you can simply calculate the parity block directly and not have to read anything. At this point, raid-5 magically becomes as efficient as raid-0 :) I don't believe vinum can optimize full-stripe writes, though, since FreeBSD can only do I/O in 64k max chunks, and since vunum is software instead of battery-backed hardware RAID, it cannot hold off on multiple writes until the stripe fills up. Most hardware RAIDs do parity-block caching and long write optimizations. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem setting up mysql323-server
Hi. Please CC me. I subscribe to the digest which makes replying harder. TIA.

Thanks, As Katherine pointed out, she had the same problem with an older CD-ROM and a swap with a newer drive worked.

4.5 to 4.8, disks not mounting now -- solved
Well, I eventually figured this one out myself. For some reason, 4.8 wants me to omit the partition letter from the name: i.e., /dev/ad4s1 instead of /dev/ad4s1e.

Modem replies to commands mostly not seen.
I hooked up an external 28.8 modem after continuity-cheking the cable but the lights didn't seem right, as I remember them. (I've not use my modem for several years.) Modem doesn't respond to terminal emulator commands and seems broken, so I throw in an internal (non-winmodem) Sportster (that I've just seen working OK under Linux). Boot message looks OK as it flashes by; it identifies the proper UART, IRQs, etc, (but not an ID string from the modem -- I don't know if that's expected or not). I hand-set the COM # and IRQ and made things match in /boot/device.hints. And it sort of works. I'm using /dev/cuaa3. When I run a terminal emulator (tip, seyon, and minicom, so far), I get the same behavior: 1) Each character typed isn't seen until I type the next character. 2) Giving it the AT command (or most others), it never says OK, but a few info commands, like ATI6 will slowly spit out their reply (even ending with OK) if I bang away on the keys, one or two characters per key. Looks like some kind of flow-control problem, but I've tried lots of fixes (using the terminal emulator's config controls) and always get the same behavior. I've even messed with some of the stty stuff, though I think that should be overruled by the terminal emulators (except maybe tip, which I barely know). Any hints?

Complete hard-drive crash!
Hello! Hi everyone, i was under the impression that FreeBSD had great hard drive reliability even when using Soft Updates. I'm sure it does as nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 Release with a custom kernel (nothing questionable taken out) with the packaged version of KDE 3.1.0 that comes on the dist CD. I've been using it very stably for about a month and a half now (less than zero problems) and today i opened Konqueror and my computer HARD FROZE, super hard. Since most of my files are backed up daily i wasn't worried, and usually with freezes not many files are lost, if any. Well when i rebooted after the freeze my hard drive lost it's MBR i guess (or maybe it got corrupted) because my bios gave me NON SYSTEM DISK OR BOOT ERROR. I rebooted once more after that, and the FreeBSD bootloader came up (slower than usualy) and slightly complained about not findind loader.conf. Then it attempted on loading the kernel, until the kernel finished loading (stopped printing devices) and gave me a prompt and asked me what root device i shoudl load ( it was in the form of fstype:device) i attempted ufs:/dev/ad0s1a but it named a bunch of errors and i was forced to reboot into the same process again and again. So i fsck'ed alll my partitions that were mounted when it first crashed (using FixIt) and i was able to get all my files back. The problem is the files were scattered throughout each partition in lost+found and some folders were just gone, so the filesystem, i think, is completely ruined. I was using Soft Updates for all my partitions besides the root partition (even though the root was also missing a lot of files too). I wanted to know what could have caused my hard drive to crash so hard and also how i could avoid this type of behavior in the future because as it looks i might have to do a complete reinstall. Also, How can i reinstall the FreeBSD standard MBR? (the one that is minimal and only loads FreeBSD). Thanks a ton! -rian _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Re: partition recovery
sorry for swapping slices/partitions - it was
too late yesterday and I had too much work...
Here's more explanation:
On 2003-07-13 06:48, Malcolm Kay wrote:
there was windows 2000
[ ntfs ]
I made some place for FreeBSD
How?
I used partition magic, I resized first dos-partition
and created second primary dos-partition (without
extended dos-partition).
In FreeBSD terminalogy this is now 2 slices:-
[ ntfs ][ ufs=ad0s2 ]
I created slices
In FreeBSD terminology created partitions or
more specifically BSD partitions.
right, that's what I did :)
[ ntfs ][( s2a )( s2b )... ]
after some time I removed win2000 - and just
did newfs on first partition (no repartitioning,
no slices - only newfs)
On the first slice -- no BSD partitioning.
right, the question is - is that ok, to do that?
I mean - to newfs without bsd-partitioning?
[ufs=ad0s1 ][( s2a )( s2b )... ]
The MBR (master boot record) table will still have
the first slice marked as ntfs unless you ran fdisk to
change it.
do you mean - the main dos-partition table?
I *think* I fixed it using gpart. The linux sfdisk says
now:
fake:~# sfdisk -d /dev/hda
# partition table of /dev/hda
unit: sectors
/dev/hda1 : start= 63, size=125821017, Id=a5
/dev/hda2 : start=125821080, size= 3903795, Id=82
/dev/hda3 : start=129724875, size= 30346784, Id=83, bootable
/dev/hda4 : start=0, size=0, Id= 0
after some time I wanted to install debian GNU/Linux
(this is test-box)
[ufs=ad0s1=hda1 ][swap=hda2][ext2=hda3]
and here something bad happened during installation
(few reboots/kernel panics and so on)
It seems you have now assigned all slices to Linux
at least in your mind. But what types does fdisk think they are?
I didn't touch the ad0s1 when installing linux,
I just removed ad0s2 and placed two linux-partitions there.
(hda2 - linux swap and hda3 - linux system)
(I wanted to use ad0s1 to move some data to the new system,
I expected linux to be able to mount UFS - at least r/o)
it CAN mount it as NTFS (and I can even see
some windows files!)
- freebsd can see it as UFS but cannot mount
Where is FreeBSD? -- it appeared you had given the FreeBSD slice
ad0s2 over to Linux swap -- but then I'm not knowledgable with
respect to exactly what Linux means by hda2.
I run freebsd from live-cd now (as I explained above
I removed freebsd slice (ad0s2) with all bsd-partitions
inside).
('bad magic number' or bad superblock),
using backup superblock
(-b 32) doesn't work.
What can I do to recover data from the first partition???
What data? -- the original ntfs data or what Linux may have installed?
I suspect that in either case it is now pretty much corrupted. The semblance
of windows files will have a scattering of blocks over written by newfs.
I want to recover files from UFS filesystem on ad0s1. It was NTFS before
but as I mentioned before - I did newfs, so It became UFS. I think
the windows files that can be seen are just shadows of old days
(blocks that were not overwritten during using the slice with
FreeBSD). I looked at the slice with lde (linux disk editor, I
don't like the tool but I couldn't find anything more user-friendly)
and it seems that the files I saved to UFS are in good condition.
I hope the case is more clear now :)
What do you advice to do now?

IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, IPv4-only and IPv6-only
I need to setup an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack host, an IPv4-only host and an IPv6-only host to test an application I'm developing. The only useful documents I've found about this topic are section 19.15 of the handbook and an article on OnLamp.com titled 'IPv6, Meet FreeBSD'. I have two PCs in my home network both connected to an AtlantisLand ADSL router with (simple) firewall built-in. What I want to do is setup a PC as a IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack host connected to the 6bone through freenet6. This PC will act as an IPv6 gateway for the other PC, configured as an IPv6-only host and IPv4-only host by installing twice FreeBSD and using dual-boot. Is this possible to achieve? Does anybody know how to do this? Furthermore, how can an application detect system's configuration (IPv4/IPv6, IPv4-only, IPv6-only)?

4.5 to 4.8, disks not mounting now
I have a Pentium 233 that was running 4.5-RELEASE whose boot drive went belly up last week. Fortunately, I have a atapci1: Promise TX2 ATA133 controller which provides access to my primary data drives, so merely replacing the failed boot drive that lived on the onboard ide controller would not result in a loss of critical data. Unfortunately, it appears that the fresh install of 4.8-RELEASE on a new, replacement boot drive is unable to mount the old drives on the Promise controller.

Re: Newbie proxy question
Remington L. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am interested in installing an FTP proxy server on my default gateway. I understand caching and all that, my question goes along the lines of security. Lets say I leave ports 21, 20 open on the server(default gateway) and I have another machine which is the actually FTP server. You also need to handle the data connections, and forward them. I read somewhere about proxy packet inspection. It is my understanding that without the proxy anyone can portscan me and find the open port. With proxy inspection it will only allow in valid FTP commands through, making it harder to find the open ports. Does this hold true? You can be portscanned in either case.

GCC 3.3.1 + Pentium 4
I recently cvsupped my -CURRENT box (about a day ago), and I noticed that GCC 3.3.1 had been imported, so I decided to buildworld so I can use Pentium 4 optimizations when compiling ports and other things. I have p4 set for CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf , but when I compile anything, it uses -march=pentium3. I know this was changed because GCC 3.2.2 used to produce broken code when pentium4 optimizations were set, but now that GCC 3.3.1 is imported, shouldn't this be resolved? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/relnotes-i386.html#CONTRIB (under GCC): *GCC* has been updated to 3.2.2 (release version). *Note:* *GCC* is known to produce broken code with the -march=pentium4 option set. As a workaround to avoid this problem, setting the CPUTYPE=p4 Makefile variable (for example, in make.conf(5) http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=make.confsektion=5manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-release) enables GCC's -march=pentium3 option instead. This situation is expected to be resolved when GCC 3.3 is imported. If anyone knows how to make it use Pentium 4 optimizations, please let me know.

Network 10,1,0,0/16 does not have external access. How I configure in ipfw + natd so that this is possible? My interface of exit is xl0 interface of network 10.1.0.0/16 is xl1, and interface of network 10.2.0.0/16 is xl2. As I configure in ipfw using natd to make nat only for net 10.2.0.0/16.
