Run away CPU FreeBSD 4.9 Release #0
Greetings, I have just installed 4.9 R0 on to new hardware and have encountered an unusual issue. It was not detected straight away as everything appeared to do what it was supposed to do... Some processes run away with the CPU. Screen is one of the worst offenders along with python.. The CPU starts out at about 15% and slowly ramps up to 100%. As the % ramps up, the priority increases up to about 60 If more than one screen is launched, then the will share the CPU but the priority still sits about 60. Any ideas what this could be and how to fix.

changing configure options when using a port
Hi all, I'm slowly getting used to FreeBSD from a Linux background so forgive the ignorant questions. I'm curious what the best way to add configure options are when installing from a port. For example, i'd like to add --enable-rewrite to apache2. Can I just put it in the Makefile in /usr/ports/www/apache2 ? Is this generally the best way to do this?

Should I use something like the following command to save my current disklabel? bsdlabel /dev/ad6s1c disklabel.ad6s1c.backup Then do I just edit a copy of that textfile, change the offsets to 0, then write it back like this? bsdlabel -R /dev/ad6s1c dislabel.ad6s1c.new And maybe prefix that by a $ bsdlabel -R /dev/ad6s1c dislabel.ad6s1c.new which would just check your new layout for errors, without writing anything, and print your file out as disklabel understands it. And lastly... your talk about offsets. The man page for bsdlabel describes using it on the whole disk (ad6) and not a slice or partition. If I run it It can't be fdisk that you are reading about? on ad6, I get: bsdlabel: /dev/ad6: no valid label found Beware; if you write a disklabel (or presumably bsdlabel; I have no experience with 5.x) to ad6 you create a dangerously dedicated disk, i.e. a disk without slices. And of course the label isn't there, just because nobody wanted a `DD' disk. If I run it on the slice ad6s1 I get: # /dev/ad6s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 1563445170unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit e: 15634451704.2BSD 2048 1638489 And there I see the offset of 0 you might be talking about...? Are we looking at the proper label? Just want to make sure before I mess things up. Are you saying that the disklabels reported for ad6s1 and ad6s1c are different? And the `new' one seems to be correct for a 80G drive (+- a couple of megabytes)? Have you touched anything? Now, mount might work. Under FreeBSD 4.x ad6s1 and ad6s1c would normally be aliases referencing the entire slice. Maybe 5.x is different! I'm now very confused. Uhum. disklabel said that the offset was 63 in your previous posting, didn't it? What does # ls -l /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad6s1c say? Any differences? I have none. What is reported by fdisk?

Re: libxmms.so troubles with building mplayer.
On Mon, Jan 05, 2004 at 06:08:17PM -0800, Gary Kline wrote: For reasons I haven't sorted out, player is looking for /usr/local/lib/libxmms.so, while the library xmms.so[.4] is in the X11R6 tree. So mplayer quits. When I turn off WITH_XMMS, mplayer dies elsewhere. Hmmm... It works fine for me, and finds the right libxmms.so: % ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer | grep -i xmms libxmms.so.4 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libxmms.so.4 (0x2847e000) I think that mplayer should be able to find libxmms.so in /usr/X11R6/lib without having to use any special linker flags. The fact that it can't suggests that either when you're compiling mplayer you are somehow overriding the linker flags in a counter-productive way, or that the ld-elf.so dynamic loader configuration is screwed up. Do you have anything in your environment that could affect either the compilation stage -- eg. LDFLAGS, CFLAGS, CC or any environment variables that could affect the dynamic loader -- eg LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD (see rtld(1) for more)? Have you installed the libmap.conf patch from http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/libmap_4stable.diff , as the www/linuxpluginwrapper port needs you to do under 4.x? If so, what's the contents of your /etc/libmap.conf? What do you get from running 'ldconfig -r' -- particularly the second line or so where it shows what directories it will search for shared libraries?

p5-DBD-Oracle-1.14 with 9i
Hi,
Should this driver also work for Oracle 9i?
I get the following error at connection, though I don't think there is a
real memory problem:
DBI connect('MYBASE','mylogin',...) failed: at ./connect.pl line 4
ORA-01019: unable to allocate memory in the user side (DBD: login
failed, probably a symptom of a deeper problem) at ./connect.pl line 4.
I'm running freebsd 5.1 SMP enabled, Oracle 9i, oracle7-client-0.02,
p5-DBI-137-1.37 and p5-DBD-Oracle-1.14, all on the same box.
TIA

Unfortunately, you can't connect to Oracle 9i with an Oracle 7 client. :-/

This is correct. Your surprise suggests that it was good I mentioned that, eh? :) Glad I haven't done anything yet. In summary, ad6s1 returns an offset of 0 and no error. ad6s1c returns an offset of 63 and the rest of the info is identical except for the following error tagged on at the end: partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition e: partition extends past end of unit Under FreeBSD 4.x ad6s1 and ad6s1c would normally be aliases referencing the entire slice. Maybe 5.x is different! I'm now very confused. I'm not sure... maybe Sergey wants to pipe in here on this point? What is reported by fdisk? Ah, I'm at work now. Can't do that from here...

Re: How do I read digital camera on USB port with hppsmtools?
Thanks for your reply. I plug the camera into the USB port, turn on the camera, it beeps and says it is connected to a computer. At this stage I think you could mount the camera with the /dev/da0s1 device with msdosfs. Works for me with 5.1 I added this to my /etc/fstab: /dev/da0s1 /camera msdos r,notauto,longnames 0 0 created a /camera directory and did MAKEDEV da0s1 but when I try to mount /camera: # mount /camera fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format mount: /camera: unknown special file or file system when I try putting this line in /etc/fstab: /dev/usb0 /usb msdos rw,noauto,longnames 0 0 and # mount /usb I get: fstab: /etc/fstab:9: Inappropriate file type or format msdos: /dev/usb0: Block device required Do I need to do something like /dev/usb0/da0s1 The handbook goes into great detail about the architecture and says that USB was supported early on and that the device is smart enough to work on a plug and play basis no matter what you plug into it.

Two unrelated questions

After doing that, when I run startx I get a grainy desktop that almost covers my screen, but not quite, and has only a clock window, a login window, and an xterm window, and nothing else.

Re: Cannot find file system superblock error - how to recover?
--- Sergey 'DoubleF' Zaharchenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And maybe prefix that by a $ bsdlabel -R /dev/ad6s1c dislabel.ad6s1c.new which would just check your new layout for errors, without writing anything, and print your file out as disklabel understands it. So you're saying, run it as user and not root for the sake of testing it in a read-only setting? Would that be better than using -n? From the man page: The -n stops the bsdlabel program right before the disk would have been modified, and displays the result instead of writing it. And lastly... your talk about offsets. The man page for bsdlabel describes using it on the whole disk (ad6) and not a slice or partition. If I run it It can't be fdisk that you are reading about? Nope. man bsdlabel mentions: disk represents the disk in question, and may be in the form da0 or /dev/da0. It will display the partition layout. But I see now all the later examples mention da0s1 so maybe I misunderstood. And the `new' one seems to be correct for a 80G drive (+- a couple of megabytes)? Have you touched anything? Now, mount might work. Haven't changed anything yet. Which one are you calling the new one? Mount would be done on the partion (ad6s1c) which gives errors with bsdlabel and has an offset of 63, not the whole slice (ad6s1) which has an offset of 0 and doesn't give errors (with bsdlabel). Uhum. disklabel said that the offset was 63 in your previous posting, didn't it? 63 for ad6s1c, 0 for ad6s1. This is what's got Malcolm confused. What does # ls -l /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad6s1c say?

Poor SCSI disk preformance
Hi Everyone, I'm having difficulty getting my SCSI hard disks to preform well. I don't know what tools are available to help me diagnose this issue, or if there are specific tweaks that I need to make. Attached is the output from dmesg. The reason why I say that performance is slow is that when I run the following: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=200 bs=128k 200+0 records in 200+0 records out 26214400 bytes transferred in 5.100589 secs (5139485 bytes/sec) You can see that it doesn't transfer very fast. If I do the whole drive, I still get the same throughput. It strikes me as odd that an older ATA disk preforms better than the newer SCSI disk. I am under the impression that a standard run-of-the mill ATA drive will do anywhere from 10-15 MB/s sequential transfer, which is what I get when writing to an actual filesystem (with no soft-updates): # mount /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1g on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/temp.234233 count=200 bs=128k 200+0 records in 200+0 records out 26214400 bytes transferred in 2.437368 secs (10755208 bytes/sec) And with soft-updates: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/temp.234233 count=200 bs=128k 200+0 records in 200+0 records out 26214400 bytes transferred in 2.759680 secs (9499072 bytes/sec) I also had (meaning it is not currently attached) a different SCSI drive attached on the bus, with the same results.

machdep.hlt_logical_cpus missing in 4.9-Release
I've just installed 4.9-Release on a twin Xeon system and compiled a generic
SMP kernel (GENERIC with SMP and APIC_IO enabled).
The problem I'm having is the system is using the logical HyperThreading
CPUs even though I don't want it to.
The errata for 4.9-Release says that the logical CPUs are prevented from
executing user processes by default, they are not. It also says you can
control this behaviour by change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
sysctl(8) variable. My sysctl doesn't seem to know about this variable.
I've checked the archives and someone else had this problem back in November
but I can't see any replys other than machdep.hlt_logical_cpus should be
there.
Can anyone offer some advise please.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Anyway I added pccard_enable=YES pccardd_ifconfig=DHCP tryed ifconfig_ed1=DHCP for fun and i tryed changing the irq port with the -i flag for pccardd_flags and editing pccard.conf. Nothing seems to work I have miibus compiled in the kernel all the proper drivers all 3 of the cards are recognized at boot however i recieve the infamous ed1: device timeout message. The cards work on linux and windows maybe I'm missing something I have never dealt with pcmcia cards until now. I googled for 2 days and asked on numerous irc channels. Am I missing something?

Getting rid of sendmail
I'm looking for a way to entirely remove an MTA from a box and forward everything to another host. I've found the /etc/mail/aliases file and saw that I could configure it so that root would point to something else, so that's half the battle, possibly. Once that's done, however, is it simply a matter of setting sendmail_enable=NONE in /etc/rc.conf to disable sendmail, or is there more I could/should do, to still keep having the cron job outputs sent to the place I'd specify in /etc/mail/aliases?

ps: warning: /var/run/dev.db: No such file or directory
I recently rebooted a server that had been running for many months. I haven't touched the kernel or userland programs since it went into production. The server was rebooted with 'shutdown -h now', powered down, and then later restarted. I've since noticed that cron didn't restart, which is odd, but fixable, but more importantly, when I run ps, it spits out 'ps: warning: /var/run/dev.db: No such file or directory' (although, as far as I can tell, the output is perfectly reasonable). I'm wondering if one is a symptom of the other. In any event, /var/run/dev.db is most certainly not there. I guess I could reboot the server tonight, but I'm not sure that that will fix it, as I don't understand the cause. I've searched the archives a bit, and the best thread I could find dated from 1997, and suggested that it could be due to an unclean shutdown, which is definitely not the case here. I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE, where stable is defined as being what it was around June 2003. I'd be grateful for any pointers you might have.

So you're saying, run it as user and not root for the sake of testing it in a read-only setting? Would that be better than using -n? From the man page: The -n stops the bsdlabel program right before the disk would have been modified, and displays the result instead of writing it. And lastly... your talk about offsets. The man page for bsdlabel describes using it on the whole disk (ad6) and not a slice or partition. If I run it It can't be fdisk that you are reading about? Nope. man bsdlabel mentions: disk represents the disk in question, and may be in the form da0 or /dev/da0. It will display the partition layout. But I see now all the later examples mention da0s1 so maybe I misunderstood. A little before that the manual says: Disk device name All disklabel forms require a disk device name, which should always be the raw device name representing the disk or slice. For example da0 rep- resents the entire disk regardless of any DOS partitioning, and da0s1 represents a slice. Some devices, most notably ccd, require that the So that da0 is just an example, albeit a perverted one. And the `new' one seems to be correct for a 80G drive (+- a couple of megabytes)? Have you touched anything? Now, mount might work. Haven't changed anything yet. Which one are you calling the new one? Mount The one you sent the last time (with the 0-s). would be done on the partion (ad6s1c) which gives errors with bsdlabel and has an offset of 63, not the whole slice (ad6s1) which has an offset of 0 and doesn't give errors (with bsdlabel). Uhum. disklabel said that the offset was 63 in your previous posting, didn't it? 63 for ad6s1c, 0 for ad6s1. This is what's got Malcolm confused. It confuses me too. What does # ls -l /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad6s1c say? Any differences? I have none. su-2.05b# ls -l /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad6s1c crw-r- 1 root operator4, 20 Dec 29 08:11 /dev/ad6s1 crw-r- 1 root operator4, 21 Dec 29 08:11 /dev/ad6s1c Indeed it's not like in 4.x, where they were the same. And what about # ls -l /dev/ad6s1a /dev/ad6s1b (these minor numbers don't seem to be in order). Anyway, the correct beginning for the filesystem is 0 (starting with ad6s1), as the superblock is 16 sectors from there. And to recap: su-2.05b# bsdlabel /dev/ad6s1 # /dev/ad6s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 1563445170unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit e: 15634451704.2BSD 2048 1638489 su-2.05b# bsdlabel /dev/ad6s1c # /dev/ad6s1c: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 156344517 63unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit e: 156344517 634.2BSD 2048 1638489 partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition e: partition extends past end of unit Indeed.

FreeBSD is a good choice for a production server. Sure you can remove gcc if you want -- but you'll have to do it manually after installing the system the normal way. You'll lose the ability to update the system as required when security patches come out and give yourself occasional grief in other ways, but you can certainly remove gcc. I'm really not sure what the point of doing this is. If it's on security grounds then you need to beware of woolly-minded thinking: anyone capable of breaking into a properly secured FreeBSD box will be eminiently capable of copying gcc onto it as well.

Commercial Distribution?
Hi, first of all I want to congratulate you on FreeBSD, it is a really cool system! I have a question regarding the creation of a branded commercial distribution based on FreeBSD. Here is the thing: my company wants to offer a standard corporate Unix desktop that is certified (guaranteed) to run our enterprise management software well. We looked into Linux but, for various reasons, a solution based on FreeBSD makes more sense for us. Basically we want to release a CD to our customers which installs our own customized FreeBSD environment, with our own brand name. If we want to do this, it is clear that we - must preserve the copyright notices - should place a description like based on the FreeBSD Project on the package - redistribute GPLed source if modified - swap out references to freebsd support list in the distro so our customers don't spam the community - honor the redistribution rules of the ports - should make a donation to the project as profits allow Are there any FreeBSD references that MUST be taken out / MUST be left in? Are there any other legal or technical issues? How do people on FreeBSD feel about commercial distributions generally? Are we going to get sued by SCO? (just kidding, sort of) Your feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Then 1 or 2 months burn in by public users to verify it is really stable and you are pushing September. 4.9 is production now and has passed the public burn in period with flying colors. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kris Kennaway Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 11:18 AM To: John Fox Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Viability of 5.X line for production use On Mon, Jan 05, 2004 at 09:43:26AM -0800, John Fox wrote: Hello, We're planning some new mail servers, and until now I've been assuming that they would run under FreeBSD 4.X.

So I'm wondering -- do the experts here judge 5.X as ready for use in a production environment, or would that be asking for trouble? Wait for 5.2-R to come out, then wait a month or more for any undetected serious bugs to get fixed in the release branch. Then try it on one machine and see how it fares.

Basically we want to release a CD to our customers which installs our own customized FreeBSD environment, with our own brand name. You're creating a turnkey system with a known and well-defined layout which includes all of the dependencies to run your proprietary software. Look into man release, which discusses how to customize a build and create CD images. You should also consider managing your software and it's dependencies as a port, even though you might never submit the port of your software. On the other hand, some people like anti-virus vendors have their commercial products available as a port on a time-limited trial basis (security/vscan, , but that's up to you... If we want to do this, it is clear that we - must preserve the copyright notices - should place a description like based on the FreeBSD Project on the package Yes.

However, if you configure your system so that section 3c applies, this becomes easier: c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) - swap out references to freebsd support list in the distro so our customers don't spam the community You should have your own top-level documentation which refers people to your support mechanisms, sure. - honor the redistribution rules of the ports Yes, you need to pay attention to the licenses of all dependencies. - should make a donation to the project as profits allow If you like; no doubt it would be appreciated. Are there any FreeBSD references that MUST be taken out / MUST be left in? What you see is what you get: the BSD license is very simple. Are there any other legal or technical issues? How do people on FreeBSD feel about commercial distributions generally? Are we going to get sued by SCO? (just kidding, sort of) There are lots of technical details-- while there is a fair amount of documentation available for building a release, and many steps are deterministic, it really is an iterative process that stops based on subjective criteria (yours).

Re: Poor SCSI disk preformance
It should go faster than 5MB/sec, though. Seagate's specs say that drive should do 14MB/sec max. UW's top speed is 40MB/sec, so there shouldn't be any bottlenecks. 14MB/s is the maximum internal transfer rate. Also, we're talking about write performance here, which will likely be quite a bit slower than read performance. As I said before, a more realistic number should be had with rawio or by measuring actual real-world transfers. Unless all you do is write zeros with dd all day long, I don't think that that is the best measure of performance. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The reasoning for this is that I'm trying to create a dedicated box to format HDDs in parallel. I wish to first zero the drives to make data recovery without an electron microscope difficult. Then, to test for bad sectors I do a checksum of the number of zero bytes written to disk, and then I read back from the disk and compare checksums. Not exactly an extensive test, and perhaps there is a verify option or trick in dd that I'm not aware of. I think that this would catch any blatantly bad drives... If not, there are 2 full disk operations that should be going faster.

Re: Commercial Distribution?
You're creating a turnkey system with a known and well-defined layout which includes all of the dependencies to run your proprietary software. Look into man release, which discusses how to customize a build and create CD images. Yes, I already made a few builds. We're currently (mainly) looking into how we can make the installer more friendly for corporate helpdesks/IT personnel and how to customize KDE so users won't complain about this not being Windows so much ;) You should also consider managing your software and it's dependencies as a port, even though you might never submit the port of your software. On the other hand, some people like anti-virus vendors have their commercial products available as a port on a time-limited trial basis (security/vscan, , but that's up to you... Yes, I'm planning to make two packages. One to install all the modifications and preferences to applications that don't need to be recompiled (this patch would be applied after install). The other package would contain the actual proprietary client software. We discussed the trial idea last year - maybe we will distribute the client and trial users can connect to a public test serever - we haven't decided yet (however, it is not a consumer product). You're welcome to use BSD software in a commercial distribution. Have fun. If you contribute useful things back, that's nice, but you don't even have to do that much. Great, we had many idea for little tools and stuff like that (if only a day had 50+ hours!) Btw, I looked really carefully and couldn't find any FreeBSD-based commercial distro (if you don't count OS X). Am I just to stupid to find one or is this an idea whose time has not come yet?

Weird stuff after moving to a new MB
Hello everyone, I'm hoping that someone might be able to give me some ideas on what to check to rule out a flakey MB. I had FreeBSD 5.1 installed on an older Dual 440BX motherboard which was current with CVS. I replaced the board with a 440GX dual. Basically, I took the HD out of the old system and put into the new since the boards are pretty similar.The system is working but there seems to be some quirks such as the Onboard NIC will not pick up a connection( IT is recognized by the System and uses the same driver (FXP)) and the floppy drive will not read a floppy at anytime (At boot too). I've rebuilt world and kernel and still have the same problems. I'm also noticing now that after reconfiguring X, my mouse is chunky. To be honest, it's chunky in the mouse setup in /stand/sysinstall too. I'm leaning towards a flakey board but have to admit my naivity in that it may be due to not reinstalling from CD.

Re: Cannot find file system superblock error - how to recover?
--- Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (is disklabel/bsdlabel only meant to be run on slices and not bsd-partitions?). You have it backwards in this question. Disklabel is meant to run only on bsd partitions and not slices. Slices (1-4) are the major divisions of the disk and partitions (a-h) are divisions within slices. Fdisk is what creates slices. First, as I look at what I wrote, I said this wrong in two ways - because I didn't read carefully and had just come off a bad headache, probably caused by breathing spray paint fumes - always use in well ventilated area. The biggie!! disklabel DOES work on slices and CREATES partitions. It does not work on partitions - it creates them which is where my sleepy [Groggy has already been claimed by a famous contributer] got lost. So, trying to run disklabel on ad0s1c would definitely cause an error. The other thing is, I should have left out the word 'only' (after writing the rest of it correctly, of course) because disklabel can, but usually shouldn't, be run on the whole disk ad0 (as apposed to just a slice ad0s1) which will create a dangerously dedicated disk. There is no real danger as long as you only use FreeBSD on it and don't want to multi-boot it or anything. Since you only lose the tiny bit by slicing it (63 sectors), you should just always first slice it (with fdisk) - even if that means making it all one big slice. That will make sure things are happy should you get weird creative ideas later on. Ok, well the reason I thought it might be the other way is because if you run disklabel (bsdlabel) on a slice (such as /dev/ad4s1 on my machine, which is working, or /dev/ad0s1 on another machine I have access to) it works fine (and reports an offset of 0), but if you run it on the partition (/dev/ad0s1c) you get an offset of 63 and errors like: Yes, the offset in disklabel is from the beginning of the slice. I am not sure what it is trying to do if you try to further partition a partition. Anyway, the 'c' partition is a special one that refers to the whole slice regardless of the partitions it has been carved in to. I would have to go wading through code to figure out how it is handled differently. Just for fun, try doing a disklabel on ad0s1a or something like that and see what it does - on a disk you can afford to trash. Anyway, sorry for the first round of mis-statement. jerry partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities partition f: partition extends past end of unit So why does disklabel/bsdlabel produce errors when run on the partition even when the disk is fine, if it is meant to be run on partitions and not slices?

When you are sitting at the console, simply press CTRL-C after Doing initial network setup: hostname ist displayed and the box is sitting there.

I will be formatting a large number of greatly varying drives, including ATA converted to SCSI type drives, and really old, and really new drive types. I've never seen WCE hurt sequential write access, so it's probably safe to turn on.

Everything under camcontrol modepage and cmd is pretty much straight from the SCSI spec. You can buy copies of it from ANSI (I think you can download draft copies from www.t10.org somewhere), and sometimes disk vendors will ship copies with vendor-specific info. About 15 years ago, I bought a Maxtor disk that didn't include the little sheet saying which jumpers were which SCSI id.
