Re: compile automounter with LDAP support
Hi Antoine, you need to include /usr/local/include/ldap.h: have a look am /usr/src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h (HAVE_LDAP_H) and the HAVE_MAP_LDAP in several source files.

Re: Choosing A Stripe-Size (RAID5 Array)
Rishi Chopra wrote: I've had a tough time getting help for this question on the newsgroups and freebsd.org discussion forums, so I thought I'd mail the list... I'm setting up a 600GB Raid-5 array (4-200GB 8MB Buffer IDE disks connected to an Adaptec 2400A controller) and would like some help picking a stripe-size (this is the smallest unit of data written to each disk by the raid controller.) My usage pattern is fileserver and webserver+db, some light desktop usage as well. I'll be using defaults for the file system (16K block size.) Based on experience, can anyone suggest a good stripe-size choice? Also, if this controller performs best with a particular stripe-size under FreeBSD (due to driver design, etc.) please say so; I can always tweak the newfs command line switches to accomodate a particular stripe-size choice. It depends on your priorities. If you are after sheer transfer speed a smaller stripe size is best because a single transaction is likely to be spread over multiple disks which then deliver the data in parallel. On the other hand, if your priority is not the transfer speed of a single transaction but rather the ability to process multiple transactions in parallel without too much congestion a bigger stripe size is preferred. This is because in this case smaller transfers are likely to be limited to only one disk per transaction, at least statistically. So in a four disk system you have still three disks left to process up to three other, independent transactions in parallel. This way the server is more resilient in a multi-client/multi-transaction environment. My recommendation for moderately to heavily used file servers with multiple clients is therefore to use a bigger stripe size. This also goes for web servers and DB servers as they are likely to cause multiple parallel disk transactions as well. I think 256 kB is the maximum for this controller, so you may want to pick that value. And there is no need to change the default block size of the file system in this scenario since this can lead to a performance degradation. The FreeBSD kernel is optimized for 16kB blocks.

I don't know where you heard that, but it is completely wrong. 56 CDs worth, at 650Mb per CD comes out at about 35Gb. You can fit a FreeBSD system onto a less than 1Gb drive, although a 3 or 4Gb disk is about the minimum you would want to use if you want all the system sources, the ports tree, a reasonable number of ported applications and some space left over to actually work with. 35Gb sounds to me roughly like what it would take to build an archive of all of the distfiles of all of the ports in the tree, or maybe all of the precompiled packages built out of those sources for all contemporary versions of FreeBSD available -- ie. the amount of disk space required to host a mirror of the ftp.freebsd.org site. If anyone attempted to make such a thing available on CD -- first, they'd be crazy to try and sell it on CD Rom: DVD would be a much better idea nowadays, and -- secondly: it would be out of date before they could get the disks pressed, let alone sell them.

PostgreSQL on FreeBSD
Hi all, I'm trying to configure and tune postgresql on FreeBSD 4.9. We want to allow at least 128 concurrent connections but preferably 256. Looking at the documentation, we should be okay if we set the following in our kernel to achieve this: kern.ipc.somaxconn = 512 kern.ipc.shmall = 65536 kern.ipc.shmmni = 128 kern.ipc.semmni = 8 kern.ipc.semmns = 256 Now, I have three questions... 1. Why do we have to set these in the kernel ? Why does setting them in /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/loader.conf not work ? 2. Is there a recommended list of settings that we should use in our kernel to allow 128 connections and 256 connections ? and lastly, 3. What is the impact on the rest of the system likely to be by setting aside this memory as shared memory ? Is it then no longer available to other applications like Apache and Exim ? Are there any other performance issues that we should be aware of ?

Re: System Backup help.
Micheal Patterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I realize that a lot of folks prefer dump / restore for system backups, however, to dump to tape, I would recommend using tar since that's what it does best. As long as the system sees the tape drive, tar -c / dumps everything to the tape drive. The only problem with that is that you can't do a complete restore from that and have a working system. I use tar for backups, but that's because I'm perfectly happy knowing I'll have to start with a new-system install if I ever need to recover from a disaster. For serious systems, where getting the whole thing back up on a new disk is critical, dump/restore will be *much* better. This is mostly because of tar's limitations; it doesn't restore the filesystem itself, it doesn't handle device files, fifos, and I don't think it has any clue about sparse files. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Open Files
Hello all, I am having difficulty with one system - FreeBSD 4.8 After a couple of days, the system continually reports that there are too many files open. At that time I cannot ssh into the system or ftp, etc. obviously, the kern.maxfiles is too low. However, I have continually increased the number of max files - actually both: kern.maxfiles = 65535 kern.maxfilesperproc = 65535 The system is running 141 processes on average, which isn't terrible in my opinion. Most of these are Apache 1.3.27, MySQL 4.1.0-alpha, Courier mail system, and a couple of applications my firm has written ourselves. The question is really, is there a way to examine how many files are open on a per process basis? I know we can monitor the number of open files with pstat -T, but this doesn't help us troubleshoot which application is responsible for this large number of open files. The processes that we are building are daemons that are pre-forked - none seem to be crashing, and we've checked the open/close calls as closely as possible. Also, does anyone know of a bug in MySQL or mod_php4 (4.3.4.r1) or Courier 0.43.0 that would cause files to be opened and not closed?

There is no plugin for realplayer so *rm files will invoke it as separate instance. Except downloading realplayer to ../.../distfiles you do not need to get or install anything before installing mplayer. Test realplayer alone to see if it works (for me it does). You will be also able to listen WMP streaming files (mozilla should open small extra window - empty), and watch DVD/VCD/SVCD's one more thing: I dont have ANY sound daemons running.

Hmmm... Having a trailing slash or not on the *target* directory doesn't make much difference at all. Having a trailing slash or not on the *source* does make a difference. Without the slash, the last directory in the source path will be created in the target directory and all of the contents copied relative to that. With the slash, only the contents of the source dir get copied across and end up directly under the target directory. I believe the command as you have written it will create /home/domain/website/web on the target server, with all of the various content under that .../web/ directory. Also, under FreeBSD, you don't need '-e ssh' as that's the default. I think what you may need is: rsync -avx \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sites/www.domain.com/web/ /home/domain/website/ A couple of good things to do are a) use the -n 'dry-run' flag to see what would happen given a particular command line and b) create some dummy files and directories under /tmp, and use rsync(1) to copy them around just on the local system: rsync -avx --delete /tmp/foo/ /tmp/bar/ which will soon give you an understanding of how the trailing slash thing works.

Just wondering if some of this isn't overkill... and trying to remember the utility. Was it rsync after all? rsync(1), rdist(1), even tar(1) all can be used with alternatives to ssh in order to copy files to a remote machine. The question is why would you want to? Basically, if you aren't using ssh(1), then you're using rsh(1) which is an archaic protocol; a security incident waiting to happen and something you don't admit to using in polite company. I could mention rexec here, but this is a family mailing list and inappropriate for the sort of invective I would feel obliged to heap upon it. ssh(1) is only overkill until you realise exactly what you are laying yourself open to by not using it. Even inside a protected network, get into the habit of using it: it doesn't take much to accidentally end up using an inferior, insecure alternative to external destinations. Plus ssh(1) has other advantages like correctly returning the exit status of remote commands, being able to use key based authentication, X11 display forwarding and ssh-agent forwarding.

Re: Gateway 980 server freeze?
Greetings, More information: It seems that the problem is with SMP enabled. If I use just a snigle processor all is well. The problem can be reproduce merely by enabling SMP in the kernel. I have tested and I can not reproduce in 5.1 . So currently the solutions are to use FreeBSD 5.1 or Move either the RAID controller or the NIC from the pci-x slot to a standard pci slot. Greetings, Additional information: If I enable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box hangs on boot at the megaraid controller after sees raid5 stripe. If I disable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box functions great. Greetings, I am having trouble with a new Gateway 980 server. I am running fresh cvsup RELENG_4, kernel is stock except for maxusers set to 512, ipfw enabled, and smp enabled. System information is as follows: Motherboard information is located at: http://support.gateway.com/s/Servers/COMPO/MOTHERBD/4000791/4000791mv.shtml The raid card is a LSI U320 LVD 2-Channel SCSI Array Controller. Box configure with raid5 +hotswap Symptoms: Box doing internal operations all well. Upon placing load on device through NIC box freezes. Reproducible via a scp of tar files from any server on same switch. After box freezes you can eject a drive from the raid5 array and no alarms no trigger hot swap, no nothing. Additional information: Have replaced all components with RAID as well as disabled motherboard nic and added Intel® 82544 Gigabit Ethernet Controller card. Have upgraded to latest motherboard bios. Solutions that seem to cause the problem to go away: If you plug server box with stock nic into a 10mb port no freeze occurs. Replace nic with a standard pci (I used 3com905b) and not use a pci-x type nic all well and no freeze. I believe that it is an issue with the pci-x on motherboard.

Re: Bug in ports howto question
What is the procedure to submit a new port when you don't have access to a dedicated and highly-visible Freebsd machine on the internet? You have to configure sendmail (or any other MTA of your choice) to use a proper mail server (e.g your ISP's) as a smarthost/mailrelay. Perhaps at least a reference to the according sendmail documentation should be added to the send-pr man page. Apart from that effort is being put into bringing a web based submission form back online (the former one has been disabled since the GNATS system was heavily spammed). I wonder how many people just give up trying. Good question. Every single volunteer giving up is a pity. So, what address or mailing list should a new port be sent to if you can't use send-pr? Should this be documented in the porter's handbook? IMHO the best solution is to fix your mailing system. If you can't help it you could try and post your patch to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I wonder whether that list will reject your mail, too. Aside from that the preferred way of submitting a bug report/patch is send-pr. Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: hard disk problem
Hmmm, Hey, Lowell could you please read the thread I reference and give your opinion of the issue about the WD diagnostic tool. So I was studying what you were talking about bad block remapping, dynamic bad block remapping, or western digital's term Auto Defect Retirement I had expected that I disk would when failing to write to a bad area on disk and fails to mark it bad and redirect it to somewhere else on the disk. But reads I would not have expected the hardware to do anything other than give a failure. It seems there is some mechanism to do this automatically within the hardware with reads also. But it seems very vague on how and when this is tripped. Most of my reading including one thing from someone who works for Maxtor is that the bad block is marked bad at the failed read (or succesive failed reads, says the Maxtor guy) however doesn't get remapped until the next write, and from my reading, seems to be, not until the next write to that particular sector. So the bad block being read would be there until you did something to cause the hardware to remap it. It doesn't seem it is done so it is totally hidden from view or seeing issues with bad blocks. The system seems to be setup in order to catch problems and remap them at the earliest time so that the data is not totally unreachable[lost] the hardware will try using multiple reads with ECC to read out the effected data [from what I have read] and writes it somewhere else. So again I say that the disk PROBABLY is NOT in for a soon demise. Running the disk diagnostic tools from the disk manufacturer will remap the bad block immeadiately as well as other things, rather than waiting until you happen to write to that sector again. This is my summation of the matter, based on reading various and sundry things concerning this with none giving an absolute or concrete answer[particularly concerning what happens with data already written to disk]. Sincerly, David Lowell Gilbert wrote: DavidB [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: you probably have a couple bad blocks on the harddrive, which happens over time, you need to scan and repair the harddrive.

Just wondering if some of this isn't overkill... and trying to remember the utility. Was it rsync after all? rsync(1), rdist(1), even tar(1) all can be used with alternatives to ssh in order to copy files to a remote machine. The question is why would you want to? Basically, if you aren't using ssh(1), then you're using rsh(1) which is an archaic protocol; a security incident waiting to happen and something you don't admit to using in polite company. I could mention rexec here, but this is a family mailing list and inappropriate for the sort of invective I would feel obliged to heap upon it. ssh(1) is only overkill until you realise exactly what you are laying yourself open to by not using it. Even inside a protected network, get into the habit of using it: it doesn't take much to accidentally end up using an inferior, insecure alternative to external destinations. Plus ssh(1) has other advantages like correctly returning the exit status of remote commands, being able to use key based authentication, X11 display forwarding and ssh-agent forwarding. It was rdist, thanks, Matthew; the name is somehow less than adaquate, I think. At any rate, years ago I had rdist neatly set up with an [easily] modifyable distfile and backed up one system to another. This, along with a nightly tape backup, meant that it would take a great deal of bad-luck to lose myimportant files. I do have my internal systems rigged with ssh. It would be nice if rdist has a -f switch or could otherwise take imput from a file.

Re: Bug in ports howto question
Randy, Thanks for the info. I decided to stop using my MS mail client, and replaced sendmail on my unix box with ssmtp, which is a lot simpler. I think there are 3 configuration options to it. I use pop3 so I am also using fetchmail now. I used gtk-send-pr at the last place I worked, and although it is nice, I don't know if it addresses the issue of mail access to freebsd's gnats server from a private host. The access problems are a relatively new development since the last time I submitted a port. Although the port I submitted got forwarded by someone who picked it up in bugbusters mailing list, it also got mangled in the forwarding process. Since it now has a tracking number, I don't know if I should resubmit it or just wait.

The stock answer is to tackle configuring sendmail so you can use the send-pr included with the system. Recently I noticed a port that might be a lot easier for those who use pop3 and don't have a need for sendmail. You can try having a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/gtk-send-pr to see if it might meet your needs. I've not used the port but it only has a few dependencies.

Re: Bug in ports howto question
Or just have sendmail config files for the most common cases, e.g. isps mail server as smart host (with and without asmtp), etc. That would be good idea too. But when you make world and run mergemaster, is always the risk of the sendmail configurations getting wiped out. But I guess it depends on which option you like better. Personally, as a sendmail challenged person, I like the idea of using a smaller, simpler program. I planned to work out a solution or at least an improvement for that anyway. I'll dig into it as soon as time permits. Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: hard disk problem
DavidB [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hey, Lowell could you please read the thread I reference and give your opinion of the issue about the WD diagnostic tool. Most manufacturers have their own versions of such tools. If you can use them, they are indeed quite likely to give you more information than you can get any other way. So I was studying what you were talking about bad block remapping, dynamic bad block remapping, or western digital's term Auto Defect Retirement I had expected that I disk would when failing to write to a bad area on disk and fails to mark it bad and redirect it to somewhere else on the disk. But reads I would not have expected the hardware to do anything other than give a failure. It seems there is some mechanism to do this automatically within the hardware with reads also. But it seems very vague on how and when this is tripped. Most of my reading including one thing from someone who works for Maxtor is that the bad block is marked bad at the failed read (or succesive failed reads, says the Maxtor guy) however doesn't get remapped until the next write, and from my reading, seems to be, not until the next write to that particular sector. So the bad block being read would be there until you did something to cause the hardware to remap it. It doesn't seem it is done so it is totally hidden from view or seeing issues with bad blocks. This seems to differ a little between manufacturers, but I think most of them have a few more complexities than that description. One of the more impressive tricks is to re-try failed reads, starting from a different sector on the cylinder (and thus, a different timing, which improves your odds of a good read if you're having problems with the platter-to-head separation). More expensive drive firmware will certainly recover the problem sectors automatically -- I suspect, but do not know for certain, that some drives will first try re-writing the data back to the same sector, in case field strength just needs reinforcing. The system seems to be setup in order to catch problems and remap them at the earliest time so that the data is not totally unreachable[lost] the hardware will try using multiple reads with ECC to read out the effected data [from what I have read] and writes it somewhere else. Of course, you won't hear about it at that time. So again I say that the disk PROBABLY is NOT in for a soon demise. Running the disk diagnostic tools from the disk manufacturer will remap the bad block immeadiately as well as other things, rather than waiting until you happen to write to that sector again. Yes, I did pull the trigger a bit fast on this; it's possible that the two errors reported by the original poster were the only ones observed. In that case, they could be a fluke for any number of reasons, right down to sunspots. I probably should have recommended being *prepared* to replace the drive. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
