Issues mirroring drives with Vinum in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
I've successfully installed and converted a FreeBSD 4.8 install into a bootable Vinum volume many times; however mirroring that volume onto a second identical drive is proving difficult. Per Greg Lehey's instructions in chapter 12 of The Complete FreeBSD 4th Edition, I've setup a bootable Vinum volume and then attempted to mirror it by creating a second Vinum config file, detailing the second drive and how the new volumes should be setup. This works fine, and Vinum will successfully complete mirroring the all the volumes, however fsck will fail everytime. Hence when rebooting, everything goes to hell and a hand basket. I can fsck the volumes before mirroring without a problem, it's only after Vinum completes mirroring the volumes that fsck complains. Both drives are identical Seagate Cheetah X15's, with swap taking 1000M, root 125M, var taking 4000M, and usr taking the rest. I tried installing FreeBSD, and creating both Vinum volumes at the same time with the same effect. /boot/loader.conf: vinum_load=YES vinum.drives=/dev/da0 /dev/da1 vinum.root=root disklabel da0s1: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 256000 20480004.2BSD 2048 1638494 # (Cyl. 127*- 143*) b: 2047719 281 swap# (Cyl.0*- 127*) c: 716819670unused0 0# (Cyl.0 - 9728*) e: 8192000 23040004.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 143*- 653*) f: 61185967 104960004.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 653*- 9728*) h: 71681967 16 vinum # (Cyl.0*- 9728*) disklabel da1s1: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 256000 20480004.2BSD 2048 1638494 # (Cyl. 127*- 143*) b: 2047719 281 swap# (Cyl.0*- 127*) c: 716819670unused0 0# (Cyl.0 - 9728*) e: 8192000 23040004.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 143*- 653*) f: 61185967 104960004.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 653*- 9728*) h: 71681967 16 vinum # (Cyl.0*- 9728*) /vinum.config: drive alpha device /dev/da0s1h drive beta device /dev/da1s1h volume root plex org concat sd len 256000s driveoffset 2047984s drive alpha plex org concat sd len 256000s driveoffset 2047984s drive beta volume swap plex org concat sd len 2047719s driveoffset 265s drive alpha plex org concat sd len 2047719s driveoffset 265s drive beta volume var plex org concat sd len 8192000s driveoffset 2303984s drive alpha plex org concat sd len 8192000s driveoffset 2303984s drive beta volume usr plex org concat sd len 145800322s driveoffset 10495984s drive alpha plex org concat sd len 145800322s driveoffset 10495984s drive beta vinum create /vinum.config vinum start root.p1 vinum start var.p1 vinum start swap.p1 vinum start usr.p1 Obviously I'm missing a vital step here but I'm completely at a loss as to what it may be.

BSD Question
I'm a Unix newbie who just installed BSD 5.1. I made it through the installation without too much of a hassel and I went ahead and added XFree86 in the installation, along with the BSD Boot Manager since I'm dual booting with Windows. I have a 40 gig HD for Windows then I have 2 separate 120 gig HD raided in 0 config for BSD. The boot manager is installed with the rest of BSD on the raid but when it loads and I go to pick, both options boot to BSD. F1 is labeled FreeBSD and F5 is labeled Drive 1, which I was under the illusion should be windows but it turns out its not. When I boot into BSD, it leads me to a text based login screen, how do I get KDE to function. Thank you in advance. David Witt _ Get McAfee virus scanning and cleaning of incoming attachments.

isa_dmainit question

I thought that if there was enough memory on the system, it shouldn't matter how big it is. Is there any way to get rid of this? The system I am playing with is useable without a floppy drive, but it would be nice to be able to use one. (Yes, this is me playing with my WarBSD stuff. I thought the problem I was having was gone with -p16, but it turned out I was just tired and overlooked a setting-- MD_ROOT_SIZE being set to 7000).

Check the hardware compatability list

the section on printing. I imagine that you
can get the printers working without too
much headache. Dunno about the scanners.
is there a freeware C/C++ compiler available

Compiler's built in. Others are available
as packages or ports. And the whole
OS is freeware --- UNIX and text editors
go hand in hand (line from handbook or
some documentation I think I recall ('you
will find a significant portion of your work
in UNIX will involve editing text files').
I'm not sure about the number or
qualtiy of IDE's but I'm sure that
they are availabe, and someone's
bound to have something pretty nice out
there...
FBSD has Linux-compatability mode
as well, so there is just zillions of possible
programs out there...over 9000 programs
that will install automagically via the FBSD
ports tree, for example.
will it work on on a BrillianX motherboard?
Dunno...again, check the HCL. Generally speaking,
it ought to, but if it has some unsupported disk controller
or onboard whatever
5.1 is out and I've been pleased with the strides
made in hardware support since I started FBSD
2.5 years ago. But, before you rush to install it,
the FreeBSD Foundation hasn't yet got Java working
(last I read on their site) on 5.x, so maybe 4.8/9
would be what you want.
what kind of modem will i need.
i think i've got a WinModem - Conextant or
something..
The standard line for years was no winmodems.
That might have changed. You might send mail back
to the list with a more specific subject line ... 'interested
but am I compatible' sounds just a tad like responding
to a personal ad ;-) I just bought a USR serial to use
with FreeBSD. Never tried dialing up with it before,
so I thought I'd be traditional and safe.

Hey *, I'm trying to do something fairly simple. On a 4.6 Release box I would like to force all users to choose passwords over a certain length and of a certain complexity. Now before anyone jumps and says to edit /etc/login.conf, please note that I tried that and it did not work. I don't want to get into too much detail there because my req's that management handed down go beyond the stated abilities there anyway; I need PAM. So basically from the docs here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pam/pam-freebsd-modules.html I gather that the module I need is pam_unix, but when I look for the man page...nothing. I've spent about an hour on google now also and found plenty of developers and admins talking about using it, but nothing resembling a man page or even a how-to. Specifically I need to enforce the use of a mix of alphanumeric and special chars, a minimum length, passwd expiration (with forewarning preferably), passwd history, and account lockouts. Note: I will gladly RTFM. Muchas thnx. According to man -w pam_unix it is located in /usr/share/man/man8/pam_unix.8.gz. I am using freeBSD 5.1.x Didja check freeBSD's site? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pam/pam-freebsd-modules.html Or go here (Once you get there be sure to change the OS version to match yours) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pam_unixapropos=0sektion=8manpath=FreeBSD+4.8-RELEASEformat=html For a (I found one on google) How to (or so the article claims) http://www.wlug.org.nz/HowToUserAuthenticationHOWTO Here's a How To for Apache and mod_auth_pam http://www.linuxvalley.it/encyclopedia/ldp/howto/HOWTO/User-Authentication-HOWTO/x302.html Here's some simple stuff from Red Hat http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-pam-samples.html Dunno what you were searching on but hope this helps. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: building sendmail-sasl-8.12.10 problems
Hmmm... Sounds like you're trying to start up the sendmail from the base system but using the .mc/.cf files with all of the SASL stuff in it. Check the contents of /etc/mail/mailer.conf -- make sure you're starting up the port version of sendmail, which will be /usr/local/sbin/sendmail Hi, okay I fixed /etc/mail/mailer.conf file and 8.12.10 is now running. Either that, or ditch the ports version of sendmail, and add the following to your /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 when I uncomment these entries in /etc/make.conf - I get the folllowing errors during execution of 'make' .

(Read the comments in /etc/make.conf if you prefer to use SASLv1 -- setup is almost identical) That will build you a SASL enabled sendmail from the base system. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html for details of setting up the base system with SASL-ized sendmail using SASLv1.

Best regards, Chris KMail allows you to create mailbox folders in maildir or mbox format. Assuming the Outlook client is on a different computer than KMail, you can: 1. Make sure your /var/mail/username mailbox is empty. 2. Create an mbox email folder in KMail. 3. Move or copy all the messages you want to transfer into the new mbox folder. 4. Close KMail. 5. Copy the new KMail (mbox) file to /var/mail/username. 6. Install, configure, start a POP server. (qpopper for example). 7. Download the email in to Outlook via POP.

bridging multiple interfaces
Hi, I would like to ask for some advice on configuring my home network, with a FreeBSD 5.1 being the main player. In a nutshell, I want to route wired and wireless traffic through my FBSD box, do some ipfw, perhaps IPSec, and some bandwidth shaping, and finally send the traffic out to the internet. I have an ADSL router/switch with a public IP, running NATD. I have a 5.1 box with three interfaces: - Netgear MA301(wi0) - 3Com 905b(xl0) - 3Com 905b(xl1) wi0 is bridged to xl1, so that wireless boxes can connect to the internet. xl0 is plugged into a 5-port switch, and is turned down. The current configuration is: - pc1 (5.1 box) is plugged into the ADSL switch - pc2 (linux box) is plugged into the ADSL switch - pc3 (win2k laptop) is using pc1 (wi0) as it's wireless access point The desired configuration is: - pc1 (xl1) is plugged into the ADSL switch - pc1 (xl0) is plugged into the 5-port switch - pc2 is plugged into the 5-port switch - pc3 is using pc1 (wi0) as it's wireless access point - pc1 is serving DHCP in xl0 and wi0 - all machines plugged into the 5-port switch can access internet - all machines using pc1 (wi0) as wireless access point can access internet - pc1 (wi0) is only accessible via IPSec - pc1 (wi0 and xl0) or xl1 doing bandwidth shaping - preferable to be able to limit bandwidth per workstation I tried to bridge both xl0 and wi0 to xl1, but the network just stopped completely and I had to reboot the machine. And I'm not even sure if this is the correct or best approach. Any suggestions?

Re: port install to jail root from host system

I'd like to run 'make install' now and tell it to install the package to the base of the root filesystem of a jail from the jail's host. Possibly also to skip registering it in the host's package database. Does anyone know an easy way to do this with the ports system? In this situation I like it to mount the /usr/ports via nullfs in my Jail Directory and build the Port directly in the Jail. However you'll have to have a more or less complete system (at least gcc + all needet build dependencies) in the Jail. As a plus you don't have to worry about package registrations and stuff like this, but I'm just another newbie so probally somebody will come up with another and better way ;) Another option is to build and package the port(s) outside the jail. Then nullfs mount /usr/ports in the jail directory and install the port(s) from the package(s). The downside of this approach is that the port needs to be installed on the host system to build the package. If you have multiple virtual host jails which are basicly identical in configuration; you might want to consider setting up one to build the packages in instead of building them on the host system. (And then install from packages in the other jails.) -Pat ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Errors when trying to run Portupgrade
I was getting errors finding files in site-ruby when attempting to run
Portupgrade, so I figured my Portupgrade installation might be messed
up. I did make deinstall for Portupgrade and pkg_deleted portupgrade*
and ruby* (I haven't used ruby for anything else yet). I even did
make clean in a place or two and, since pkg_delete failed to do
this, rm'd -r /usr/local/lib/ruby and /usr/local/share/doc/ruby.
I then reinstalled Portupgrade, which appeared to reinstall Ruby also.
Now, running portupgrade gets me a different error:
** Error occured reading /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
undefined method `+' for nil
I note a lot of differences between /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.sample.
I welcome suggestions on how to get this working, including RTFM-type
pointers to effective sources of documentation.
Please Cc responses to me.
Thanks much.

Canon PowerShot A10 digital cam and FreeBSD 5.1
Okay, I have the abovementioned camera, which the Digikam port supports through libgphoto2(that very camera is mentioned). When I plug the cam in, turn it on, and set it to Playback mode, I get a kernel message acknowledging its presence, complete with model info, on ugen2. However, no matter how much I try to fiddle with permissions on that device(while making sure the camera doesn't turn off), I can't get any software to connect to it. I've had a similar problem with my scanner, and I noticed that xsane states NOT to have the kernel drivers loaded. However, the kernel driver for ugen is compiled into the GENERIC kernel. Before I recompile the source tree and kernel, is it at all possible that keeping that driver out of the kernel(and just using kldload if I should need it) would allow sane and libgphoto2 to work properly? This would be my first time rebuilding the kernel, and I'm also trying to convince FreeBSD to work with my Mitsumi ATAPI CD-R without much success, so I'm rather hesitant about all this - though the source tree and kernel both compiled okay, I haven't yet installed them. -BB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, I have moved this install to a AMD K6/2 500MHz with 512 megs of RAM, so I really don't need a 1 gig swap partition on only a 3 gig hard drive.

The output of disklabel would be better. Given the size of the disk, I wouldn't put so many file systems on it. One option would be to back up the entire system, then boot into single-user mode and repartition the rest. Make sure you have at least 513 MB of swap, so that you can dump the system if something goes wrong. Use the rest for the /usr file system, and make /var a symlink to /usr/var. If space is really tight, you could also consider smaller file system blocks, but I wouldn't recommend it. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

When in a conversation window, clicking on the Font Face button causes gaim-0.70 to spew the following to stderr: ** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font fixed Medium Semi-Condensed 0 falling back to Sans Medium Semi-Condensed 0 ** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font Sans Medium Semi-Condensed 0 falling back to Sans 0 ** (gaim:199): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed ...at which point the program exits. Googling this error message points to an improperly configured freetype2 library or fontconfig configuration. However, as far as I can tell, there are no configuration problems on my system: fc-list spits out 30 a number of fonts, although none that start with Sans proper. This is a brand new system, so unfortunately I'm unsure if previous versions of GAIM have worked properly. System: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE + latest security patches XFree86 4.3.0 with all stock fonts Related ports: freetype-1.3.1_2 gettext-0.12.1 gtk-2.2.4_1 glib-2.2.3 pango-1.2.5 (from ports-current as of 10/1/2003) If anyone has any ideas, or can at least confirm that they are experiencing the same problem with this version of GAIM, I'd really appreciate it.

Works fine for me on two different systems. No one else has reported this yet. You said this is a new system, but did you migrate an old .gaimrc? What version of freetype2 do you have installed? Have you run fc-cache -f -v as root?

Re: Issues mirroring drives with Vinum in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE

This is why I ask for the information in the man page or at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html. This is when booting regularly: ...dmesg... vinum: reading configuration from /dev/da0s1h vinum: reading configuration from /dev/da1s1h vinum: using volume root for root device Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/root swapon: adding /dev/vinum/swap as swap device fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format Automatic boot in progress... /dev/vinum/root: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/vinum/root: clean, 45939 free (633 frags, 5595 blocks, 1.0% fragmentation) fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format It's probably worth fixing this. /dev/vinum/var: UNALLOCATED I=44035 OWNER=root MODE=0 /dev/vinum/var: SIZE=0 MTIME=Oct 3 22:54 2003 /dev/vinum/var: NAME=/run/dmesg.boot /dev/vinum/var: UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. Then I'm dropped into single user mode. Line 9 of /etc/fstab is proc, I have no idea why its complaining since its valid, and I never changed it. # fsck -n /dev/vinum/var ... ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no This can be normal.

But these suggest something worse. The problem here is that it found the superblock, so it's likely that your geometry is correct: you wouldn't have got this far if you hadn't. fsck'ing the rest of the volumes produces more of the same; one notable difference is root has a reference count error in addition to missing bit maps, bad summary information, and incorrect number of block counts in the superblock. The usr volume seems to be fine according to fsck, however. vinum list correctly notes both drives are up, four volumes have two plexes, the 8 plexes are up and sized, and the subdisks are up. fsck -n /dev/vinum/var before mirroring produced no complaints, otherwise I'd conclude that I just mirrored a corrupt plex but that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks something like that. In single user mode, do an fsck on each of the component plexes. My guess is that (at least) one plex of each volume will be bad.
