When named is not available
Hi, I have a problem with named in my LAN. My notebook is sometimes attached to this network and sometimes not. Everything works well when the network cable is plugged-in. Without the network cable (same network settings), the following happens: - sendmail is waiting for timeout while booting (ok, this is actually not a big problem, just a little bit annoying) - host anyhost needs 30 seconds to return with a timeout - starting any X-application takes 2 minutes 30 seconds till it appears on the local display Remarks about X: - XFree86 is configured not to accept TCP connections - the problem above does not occur when running the X-server without a WM and with twm (affects KDE, Gnome, Xfce) Why does the resolver need 30 seconds to look up a host when named is offline? Isn't it possible to configure it to react on "no route to host" (for named's IP) correctly? Something has changed with XFree, which since recently looking up hosts (localhost?) when starting an X-application. How do I turn it off? I'm running -CURRENT (2004/07/01).

Sure. It's stated in more detail in my book "The Complete FreeBSD", so I'll quote that. You'll note that I recommend a root file system of between 4 and 6 GB. That's what I wrote at the time; nowadays, I think 8 GB might be a better value. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key. See complete headers for address and phone numbers. What partitions? In this example, you have 20 GB of space to divide up. How should you do it? You don't have to worry about this issue, since sysinstall can do it for you, but we'll see below why this might not be the best choice. In this section we'll consider how UNIX file systems have changed over the years, and we'll look at the issues in file system layout nowadays. When UNIX was young, disks were tiny. At the time of the third edition of UNIX, in 1972, the root file system was on a Digital RF-11, a fixed head disk with 512 kB. The system was growing, and it was no longer possible to keep the entire system on this disk, so a second file system became essential. It was mounted on a Digital RK03 with 2 MB of storage. To quote from a paper published in the Communications of the ACM in July 1974: In our installation, for example, the root directory resides on the fixed-head disk, and the large disk drive, which contains user's files, is mounted by the system initialization program... As time went on, UNIX got bigger, but so did the disks. By the early 80s, disks were large enough to put / and /usr on the same disk, and it would have been possible to merge / and /usr, but they didn't, mainly because of reliability concerns. Since that time, an additional file system, /var, has come into common use for frequently changed data, and just recently sysinstall has been changed to create a /tmp file system by default. This is what sysinstall does if you ask it to partition automatically: [Omitting PostScript image images/disk-label-default.1.ps 4i ] Figure 5-9: Default file system sizes It's relatively simple to estimate the size of the root file system, and sysinstall's value of 128 MB is reasonable. But what about /var and /tmp? Is 256 MB too much or too little? In fact, both file systems put together would be lost in the 18.7 GB of /usr file system. Why are things still this way? Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages: o If you write to a file system and the system crashes before all the data can be written to disk, the data integrity of that file system can be severely compromised. For performance reasons, the system doesn't write everything to disk immediately, so there's quite a reasonable chance of this happening. o If you have a crash and lose the root file system, recovery can be difficult. o If a file system fills up, it can cause lots of trouble. Most messages about file systems on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list are complaining about file systems filling up. If you have a large number of small file systems, the chances are higher that one will fill up while space remains on another. o On the other hand, some file systems are more important than others. If the /var file system fills up (due to overly active logging, for example), you may not worry too much. If your root file system fills up, you could have serious problems. o In single-user mode, only the root file system is mounted. With the classical layout, this means that the only programs you can run are those in /bin and /sbin. To run other programs, you must first mount the file system on which they are located. o It's nice to keep your personal files separate from the system files. That way you can upgrade a system much more easily. o It's very difficult to estimate in advance the size needs of some file systems. For example, on some systems /var can be very small, maybe only 2 or 3 MB. It's hardly worth making a separate file system for that much data. On the other hand, other systems, such as ftp or web se

I'm thinking this is a problem with by NIC not the server. Also the server is connected to my desktop computer through a serial console and I noticed in the log several tty overflows. My questions are ... is my NFS freeze caused by the timeouts on the client and if I lower the speed on the serial console will I eliminate the errors. The current speed I've been using is 115200.

I measured this using kdf. The partition size is 512Mb. I was unable to write to the partition, and df was reporting 120% disk usage. Since I rm'ed the / rescue directory, kdf reports 23% disk usage and I can write to the partition. I thought that all the space was being used by /rescue, because kdirstat reported the size of the directory at ~400Mb, but after some experimentation, it appears kdirstat counts multi-linked files once for each link, so the directory may not have been taking up all that space.

Check the inode number of each file in /rescue (ls -li /rescue). You'll notice they're all the same, which means they're all hardlinks to the same file. "du /rescue" should report under 4MB.

/rescue is huge!!
Hi everyone, I recently tried to add a user to my FreeBSD box, but was amazed to find that the / partition was full! I had a look, and the culprit is the "/rescue" folder, holding 135 statically linked binaries of nearly 4Mb each, giving a folder size of 491Mb! The Handbook says that "100 MB is a reasonable size for this filesystem. You will not be storing too much data on it, as a regular FreeBSD install will put about 40 MB of data here." (§ 2.5.5). I gave my root partition what I thought was a generous 512Mb. What is going on here? I read the "rescue" manpage, and while it might be a nice thing to fall back on, I can't justify it over being able to add user accounts. Should I just delete this lot? Should I have a bigger / partition? Is the handbook out of date in this respect? (/rescue was added in 5.2) All comments welcome...

Other's have pointed out that you don't _need_ swap space. If you have enough RAM, you can operate without it. However, if you need to do kernel core dumps (in the even you run into kernel panic problems) you will need at least as much swap space as you have RAM, plus a little. Additionally, if your machine ever does start to swap, FreeBSD's VM code _is_ optimized on the assumption that you have 2x your RAM in swap. If the machine starts to swap, you will get the best performance under all loads (including _heavy_ swapping) if you have 2x RAM in swap. However, FreeBSD still performs nicely with less swap than that. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hard drive problem... S-ATA/ATA and DMA error messages
Hi, Having recently upgraded my motherboard to a brand new Asus P4V8X-X with S-ATA and added an S-ATA disk I experience some problems I find kind of weird. System is installed on 160MB S-ATA disk ad4 and my previous 160 ATA/UDMA133 is on ad0 mounted as /big. Booting up, dmesg gives me this confusing message: atapci1: port 0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 15.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1 [...] ad0: 156334MB [317632/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA133 ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device ad4: 152627MB [310101/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA33 How come FreeBSD kernel thinks my S-ATA disk is only capable of UDMA/33? The S-ATA disk is connected to the motherboard by it's own S-ATA cable, thus not the problem of two disks with different speeds on same cable. Beeing new to S-ATA I may have misunderstood things, but the way I see it, the S-ATA bus and regular ATA bus is isolated and should not bother eachofter, right? Next thing is that I today tried to move ~70GB of data from ad0 (ATA/UDMA133) to ad4 (S-ATA) disk. During the cp process I got these messages: Jul 5 15:13:18 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 390440063 of 19522-195220255 (ad0s1 bn 390440063; cn 24303 tn 196 sn 20) trying PIO mode Jul 5 15:13:18 studsboll /kernel: ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode Jul 5 15:13:18 studsboll last message repeated 6 times Jul 5 15:13:21 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 390440175 of 19522-195220255 (ad0s1 bn 390440175; cn 24303 tn 198 sn 6) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 15:13:24 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 390440271 of 195220096-195220255 (ad0s1 bn 390440271; cn 24303 tn 199 sn 39) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 15:13:27 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 390440271 of 195220096-195220223 (ad0s1 bn 390440271; cn 24303 tn 199 sn 39) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 16:34:39 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 228774239 of 114387008-114387263 (ad0s1 bn 228774239; cn 14240 tn 137 sn 8) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 16:34:42 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 228774271 of 114387040-114387263 (ad0s1 bn 228774271; cn 14240 tn 137 sn 40) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 16:34:44 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 228774399 of 114387168-114387263 (ad0s1 bn 228774399; cn 14240 tn 139 sn 42) status=59 error=40 Jul 5 16:34:47 studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 228774399 of 114387168-114387263 (ad0s1 bn 228774399; cn 14240 tn 139 sn 42) status=59 error=40 There are 2 different errors here. First we have a "hard reading error" and then "DMA problem". The DMA problem, at ad0 (ATA/UDMA133 disk, weird enough) tells me that I might be wrong about that S-ATA and regular ATA disk does not bother eachother. Someone please explain this... the disk has been working 100% fine on my old motherboard afaik. The "hard reading error" is supposed to be about damaged sectors on the disk. Is it always like that, or could the errors come from some kind of bus error, ie same source of problems as the UDMA errors? The disk is rather new and shouldn't have broken sectors. I suppose. I'd really like som kind of tip on where to start. At the moment I can't think of anything that's wrong. Complete dmesg follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.

I run a small email server with about 30 clients and when i send email to yahoo it gets bounced to the bulk mail folder like in my maillog below.

Use an algorithm similar to the one shown below as a Perl script, to
pick a certain percentage of the bytes within a file, and at those
offsets chosen by this algorithm, use XOR with 0xFF or a random value to
alter the value of only the given percentage of bytes.
: #!/usr/bin/perl -w
:
: use strict;
: my ($filesize, $percent, $k, $nparts, $partlen);
:
: die "usage: foo.pl FILESIZE PERCENT"
: unless ($#ARGV == 1);
:
: $filesize = $ARGV[0];
: $percent = $ARGV[1] % 100;
:
: $nparts = int(($percent * $filesize) / 100);
: $partlen = int($filesize / $nparts);
:
: srand (time ^ $$ ^ unpack "%L*", `ps axww | gzip`);
:
: print "offsets:";
: for ($k = 0; $k < $nparts; $k++) {
: my $tmp = int(rand($partlen));
: my $nbyte = ($tmp + $k * $partlen);
: print " $nbyte"
: }
: print "\n";
> So how do I flip the bits of an entire file ?
That's even easier:
: for each byte:
: xor(byte, 0xFF);

USB Question/Concern
Hello All, I've been using FreeBSD at work to develop some USB hardware. I'm using FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on a 550MHz PIII with a UHCI USB controller. While I was in the lab a couple of weeks ago I was getting slow performance with FreeBSD. I tried changing many things in my device's firmware to see if I could fix it. None of them did. (The same device works fine on Win2K, BTW) You can check www.blindbox.com/usb/usbcomp.html for a bit more detailed description. It seems to me that the FreeBSD driver "skips" a USB frame every so often. I wanted to check with someone to see if this was a common problem. The FAQ said if in doubt where to ask, ask on freebsd-questions. So, Does the FreeBSD UHCI driver suffer from slow performance for anyone else? or has this been fixed since 5.1-RELEASE?

Hi Warren, Maybe. ext2fs is supposed to be ext3fs with journalling, and ext2fs can be mounted with mount_ext2fs. I could swear I've done this with ext3fs partitions, but can't recall when or where.

The xor operation of a byte/word/dword with itself does that. You could setup a buffer of the desired % of bytes you want to change, read the bytes, xor them (^ in C) with itself and write back.

The default shells that are part of teh FreeBSD base system have the following ways to define aliases: 1. Interactively: As you type commands in your /bin/sh prompt, try this: $ alias ls='/bin/ls -FGh' In tcsh, the '=' sign is not necessary but pay very careful attention to the quoting of special characters, because tcsh(1) is picky: % alias ls /bin/ls -FGh 2. In startup files Whatever you type in the command line can be stored in a shell startup script, making it effectively persistent across login sessions. Each shell has its own startup files; sh(1) uses `.profile' and `.shrc', while tcsh(1) reads `.tcshrc', `.login', and `.logout'. > 5. Does any version of freebsd supports mounting, reading, and writing > of ext3fs partitions of linux? Journaling metadata isn't supported AFAIK by any version of FreeBSD.

making files opposite from themselves (100% change)
Hi, I want to do some benchmarking and speed testing of rsync and UFS snapshots by taking existing files, doing rsyncs and snapshots of them and their filesystem, and then _changing_ those files by a certain percent difference, and rsyncing/snapshotting again. So the question is, how do I take a given file and make it 100% different from itself (but maintain its size and place on disk) ? I could just output /dev/zero to it, but that would leave unchanged all the bits that were aleady zero. So how do I flip the bits of an entire file ? Further, is there a good command line that will flip the bits of some percentage of the file ? thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Using DHCP /and/ name recognition w/o running BIND
Hi: I am running a small network behind a D-Link firewall router, and I have a multitude of machines running on the NAT side. Generally, I use static IPs on the network for the FreeBSD machines (since they are often servers) and the Windows clients use DHCP. It would be nice if there was some way to be able to use the symbolic name for the windows clients since their IP addresses are free to change all the time. The D-Link does have the concept of static DHCP where each MAC address is assigned an IP to always be issued when requested, but I'm concerned that if/when the D-Link gives up the ghost that I'll have to scramble and find something that's a bit more robust and not tied to my router capabilities. It seems to be overkill to run BIND for just my small network here of 4 or so machines, so I was hoping there was a more lightweight way to handle this. There seems to be a current undocumented feature of most of these routers that if you use the router as a DNS server entry that it automagically forwards those requests to the DNS entries on the WAN side. However, for tools like nslookup that make explicit connections to the server, this does not work correctly.

ipfw count rules to count traffic to virtual ip's
Hello, I'm trying to setup ipfw to count traffic to each ip on the server (one interface with multiple aliased ip's) now it seems that the count rules are about the same for each ip while this isn't the truth.. 7 7715117 6712750640 count ip from any to any via fxp0 8 2953770 167284959 count ip from any to any in recv fxp0 9 4761341 6545462313 count ip from any to any out xmit fxp0 00010 7707303 6712093431 count tcp from any to any via 1.1.1.1 00011 2948103 166773748 count tcp from any to any in recv 1.1.1.1 00012 4759198 6545319411 count tcp from any to any out xmit 1.1.1.1 00016 7707299 6712092983 count tcp from any to any via 2.2.2.2 00017 2948101 166773668 count tcp from any to any in recv 2.2.2.2 00018 4759195 6545319003 count tcp from any to any out xmit 2.2.2.2 00022 2842887 145092334 count tcp from any to any 80 via fxp0 As you can see the traffic for ip 1.1.1.1 and ip 2.2.2.2 are about the same while ip 2.2.2.2 is actually doing nothing (all ports are blocked cause its not active yet) What is going wrong here ? how come ipfw counts the same traffic for each ip.. Also rule 22 from "any to any 80" shows only a few hundred megs traffic while 95% of all the traffic on the server is http traffic from website's so this should be atleast around the 5GB of traffic instead of a few hundred megs..

Due to the deflate feature, netperf reports a result greater than the 100Mbit/s wire speed. Unfortunately, encryption speed drops off quickly as socket size increases, but 8k NFS looks like it's in good shape. Newer hardware will only nmake things better, naturally.

There isn't anything like cron.hourly under FreeBSD. (There is /etc/periodic for running system maintenance tasks, but that runs at most daily.) What you need to do is run your script out of the crontab of the appropriate user. Since this is all web related I'm going to use use 'www' as an example. First, read the crontab(5) man page (ie. type 'man 5 crontab' -- if you just type 'man crontab' you'll get the crontab(1) man page, which is worth reading as well) Then to set up the cron job, as root do: # crontab -e -u www which will plunk you into an editor opened on the www users' crontab file. Add a line like: @hourly /your/php/script/here If that script generates any output to stdout or stderr, it will be e-mailed to the www user. Supposing you don't want that, either redirect all output to /dev/null: @hourly /your/php/script/here >/dev/null 2>&1 or use the MAILTO= variable as described in crontab(5). Also note that lots of people come adrift the first time the use cron(8) because cron doesn't set up the environment like a login session. In particular, make sure that you explicitly set the $PATH at the top of your script, or you will get a load of "command not found" errors.

Each user in FreeBSD can have their own cron list. You can edit a users crontab like this: # crontab -u username -e and then add the following into it to run your app at 1 minute after every hour of every day of every month: 1 * * * * /path/to/app/app.sh You can also feed parameters after the command you want to run.

HI I've recompiled 5.2.1 kernel to include firewall options for natd. I've discovered that once I did so, I can no longer communicate in or out of the fbsd box.

From /etc/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/rc.conf : ipfilter_enable="NO"# Set to YES to enable ipfilter functionality ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf"# where the ipfilter program lives ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" # rules definition file for ipfilter, see # /usr/src/contrib/ipfilter/rules for examples ipfilter_flags="" # additional flags for ipfilter From /etc/ipf.rules : pass in all pass out all the questions are : 1) If ipfilter_enable is NO, why is it running at all? Is it needed for nat? 2) Even if it is running, why does it not follow its rules and pass all? Any help appreciated. thanks Gene _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Hi!
I hope somebody on this list has another good idea, I haven't
thought of yet:
I have a machine that came with two Excel Stor 40 GB ("Ganymede")
UDMA/100 harddisks.
To install FreeBSD 4.10 I had to disable UDMA in the BIOS,
otherwise they wouldn't have booted (some complaint about ata0).
Of course I wish to get UDMA working, since this is said to
improve perfomance significantly.
I checked if the UDMA cable is plugged into the correct places
for mainboard, master and slave - this is o.k. .
Are there any other things (bios settings, kernel modules, magic
chants,...) I could try?
I've been using DragonFly so I am not absolutely certain 4.10 still uses
/boot/loader.conf, but if it does, then inserting the following line in
that file may help:
hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
No, it still doesn't work.
But thanks anyway.

Re: Weird memory detection problem on Compaq M700
Christopher Smith wrote: [...] I have a Compaq Armada M700 that I used for a firewall. I've recently upgraded the memory in it to 320MB (64MB onboard + 256MB). The machine detects the memory fine. The FreeBSD bootloader detects the memory fine. However, when the kernel boots it only detects 64MB. I don't know if this is related but I'll post anyways hoping to help you. I have an older Armada laptop which has the same problem, however it's running OpenBSD. I remember reading that the BIOS of the laptop wouldn't announce the right amount of physical memory to the kernel. The solution (for OpenBSD) is to add a line that reads machine mem [EMAIL PROTECTED] to /etc/boot.conf - Note that this is for 32MB onboard + 32MB in the add. slot. [...] I realise I can use "options MAXMEM" to manually specify the amount of RAM in the machine, but it just struck me as rather strange that it detects 192MB fine but not 320MB (particularly since the bootloader sees it all). Try it. See if it works. I think it's pretty much the same thing I did with my OpenBSD laptop.

I am trying to update my x11/kde3 from last week, and one of its dependencies is automake/autoconf.
