ATA - UDMA ICRC Error
I noticed the posting at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8threadm=20040120192745.GA1209%40uriel.mcgoldrick.orgrnum=29prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dfreebsd%2Bstatus%253D51%2Berror%253D84%2BICRC%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26start%3D20%26sa%3DN and was curious if a solution had been found for this problem (kernel: ad4: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READ, DSC, ERROR error=84ICRC, ABORTED). I have the same problem with a PCI promise Ultra100 TX2 controller card and 200GB Western Digital 2000JB drive on startup. I've double-checked that the cable, controller, and drive are all working by plugging them by accessing them through DOS and Windows 2000; the drive shows up just fine and produces flawless I/O. My drive is jumpered as single/master, set to ATA100, and the cable works just fine. I've noticed other postings with a similar error, but the only suggestion given was either controller failure or cable failure. In my case I'm certain that neither is the cause of the problem.

periodic scripts
Hi all, please what is your opinion and possible repair of following. I have FreeBSD 4.10-REL-p2, cvsup+make world last week. It happened few times in last half-year, that server discontinue sending reports from periodics daily. I run it manually and see ps ax, but the only checks are started are those about security. And the only report send is security report. The daily report is never created. This status will remain until the next update. There is no difference between /usr/src/etc/default/periodic.conf and /etc/default/periodic.conf. I have reated my own /etc/periodic.conf.local, but I set only daily_status_XXX etc. variables, daily_output=root.

Portinstall problem (config.guess not found)
Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to build any port. /usr/ports/portname/work/config.guess: No such file or directory.

I tried both neither succeeded. Boo :-( Now if a port tries to re-install libtool, it also bums out with the above error. I'm using Freebsd-5.3-beta4.

About the only thing you can do is boot up from alternate media and see if anything can be read from the old drive -- don't get too hopeful though. dd(1)-ing the partitions from the dead drive into files on some other machine and then turning each of those into a file backed md(4) device which you then fsck(1) into some sort of order might get you further than most other strategies, as it allows you to scan sequentially across the drive Failing that, it should be possible for a data recovery company to read much of the disk contents using what is a essentially an electron microsope with a few modifications. About the only thing that can't deal with is a head crash so bad it scrapes away large chunks of disk surface -- even so, it would be able to read most of the rest of the drive.

Question - what is causing this; has anybody experience with this; how to repair it without make world ? A common cause of this sort of thing is the /var partition filling up -- if /var is full, then you can't send e-mails because you can't write the spool files in /var/spool/mqueue or /var/spool/clientmqueue -- if you're delivering to the same machine, /var/mail will be blocked as well. Other than the usual check for rubbish files: old cores, stuff cluttering up /var/tmp etc. it's a case of hunting for what is hogging the space and doing something to reduce the usage. Check /var/crash -- if you've enabled system core dumps and your system has crashed a few times, you'll find a number of rather large files in there, which you probably won't need any more. Look at eg. MySQL databases, which can grow very quickly if you turn logging on.

I'm going to make a rescue disk, but does anyone have a strategy for how I could handle the delicate job of getting my updated data off the drive without making matters worse? So far, I figure I will boot the rescue disk and try to mount the filesystems. This is based on experience rather than the extremely detailed knowledge of some other posters - like most people, I've had to get data off failing disks from time to time and so some strategies have emerged. One moderately obvious thing - if you boot from a rescue disk, mount the damaged drive read only. The filesystem will probably be marked unclean, and, unfortunately, running fsck can make the drive fail again before you have a chance to get any data off it. In an extreme case, dd might be your only option. I've found that attempts to copy/tar/dump the whole filesystem in these cases often fail. It's certainly worth trying once, but if it fails you can copy/tar/dump parts of the disk individually, starting with the most important areas, and you've a fairly good chance of at least partial success. I have a feeling that this helps because it avoids too high a level of continuous disk activity. If that's the case, I've started wondering whether using rsync with the --bwlimit argument is worth investigating as a method of limiting throughput. I haven't tried this, though. You might find that there are areas of specific damage that have to be worked around and these can be identified by a process of elimination. I also try not to let the drive go *cold* once these problems have started developing. A dying disk seems to be more likely to fail completely on power up than at any other time. This isn't meant to contradict the freezer idea suggested by another poster, which is widely recommended and definately worth trying. It means try not to keep rebooting once you start to recover the data, if you can manage it.

Hostname and interfaces
Fellow BSDers, I have a FreeBSD 4.x firewall with 2 sis(4) interfaces on the inside, and a PPPoE interface to the rest of the world. According to the BIND FAQ, the ideal relationship between hostnames interfaces is: gethostbyname(gethostname) == gethostbyaddr(primary_interface_address) For multihomed hosts, the difficulty is in choosing the 'primary' interface. Normally, I would pick the default or upstream interface, but in this case it's the least reliable due to the whims of my ISP. It's also missing when the machine first boots, before mpd(8) starts. So I'm wondering what happens if I don't assign the hostname to any interface. I know that sendmail(8) gets upset when it can't resolve the hostname, but do other applications care? Doing a little research, I ran # cd /usr/src # find * -type f -name '*.[ch]' | xargs grep -l gethostname | \ xargs grep -l gethostbyname contrib/amd/fixmount/fixmount.c contrib/amd/wire-test/wire-test.c contrib/bind/bin/dnsquery/dnsquery.c contrib/cvs/src/server.c contrib/gcc/sys-protos.h contrib/gdb/gdb/m32r-rom.c contrib/ipfilter/common.c contrib/perl5/iperlsys.h contrib/perl5/objXSUB.h contrib/sendmail/mail.local/mail.local.c contrib/sendmail/src/daemon.c contrib/smbfs/lib/smb/nb_net.c contrib/tcsh/tc.func.c contrib/traceroute/traceroute.c crypto/heimdal/appl/login/utmp_login.c crypto/heimdal/lib/krb5/get_addrs.c crypto/kerberosIV/appl/bsd/su.c crypto/kerberosIV/appl/ftp/ftp/ruserpass.c crypto/kerberosIV/appl/sample/simple_client.c crypto/kerberosIV/appl/telnet/telnet/commands.c crypto/kerberosIV/include/win32/config.h crypto/kerberosIV/include/win32/roken.h crypto/kerberosIV/kadmin/kadm_ser_wrap.c crypto/kerberosIV/lib/krb/getaddrs.c crypto/kerberosIV/lib/krb/verify_user.c crypto/kerberosIV/slave/kprop.c crypto/openssh/auth-krb4.c crypto/openssh/logintest.c crypto/openssh/session.c kerberos5/include/config.h kerberosIV/include/config.h lib/libcompat/4.3/rexec.c libexec/bootpd/bootpd.c sbin/route/route.c usr.bin/su/su.c usr.bin/w/w.c usr.sbin/ppp/ipcp.c usr.sbin/ppp/radius.c usr.sbin/pppd/options.c usr.sbin/timed/timed/timed.c usr.sbin/timed/timedc/cmds.c usr.sbin/traceroute6/traceroute6.c This host runs very few applications, and with the exception of ssh none of them are in this list.

Thanks for your answer. Is anyone aware of an approach to get some kind of soft deletion functionality on freeBSD. I mean, it's not extremely unique to be able to get files back after a deletion, even windows has features for this since long time. the easiest thing to do would be to prepare for the 'next time'. 1) create a 'garbage' directory wherever you believe it would make the most sense. 2) create an alias within your .cshrc (or bash, or zsh, etc) which, when 'rm' is invoked, uses 'mv' to move the file to your 'garbage' dir. to my knowledge, this is pretty much the same approach used by windows, gnome, and kde. this link should get you started: http://www.cee.odu.edu/uclhd/uclhd_unix_undelete.php hope this helps. cheers, epi __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make installkernel help required.
Hi, Having problems installing a new kernel. Kernel builds fine, the only difference over previous kernel is the commenting of the following items: #optionsIPFIREWALL #optionsIPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #optionsIPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=1000 #optionsIPDIVERT as I have switched to using PF. (previous kernel had both PF and IPFIREWALL enabled) Debug is below. Anyone help on why this is borking now? I've tried this twice.

ACPI not working for shutdown -p
I had things working just fine before, then I rebuild my kernel and I don't know what happened, but I can't get ACPI to turn off the computer anymore.

Re: Ssh connection
Thanks for all your responses. I must add that I am not a programmer, so all that the verbose stuff did not mean much too. I bit the bullet and started afresh - re-installed 5.2.1. I find that I could ssh to the machine itself, okay - as KeS suggested. The process ends with the machine connecting to itself! What I still cannot do is to ssh from another machine (Laptops MacOS X or windoz) which I would really like to do.

More ata/UDMA disk write questions
Hey again everyone. I had a problem recently with TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA errors, often followed by a complete lockup and data loss, sometimes enough to require a complete reinstall. There were a number of recommendations, some of which, however well intentioned, and definitely appreciated nonetheless, caused more trouble and not less. One thing that wasn't suggested was simply turning off write caching in the ata(4) driver itself. This is done by setting hw.ata.wc=0 in /boot/loader.conf. Well, I've read through the ata(4) manpage and the atacontrol(8) manpage a little more thoroughly, and looked at the /var/run/dmesg.boot log a lot more. I've noticed a couple things: * The ICH5 SATA 150 controller is correctly recognized as such by the kernel. * The Intel ICH5 controller is listed as supported in ata(4), and in the 4.10 hardware list (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/hardware-i386.html#AEN34), but not in the 5.2.1 hardware list (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN65). That's still a little confusing to me. And, the ICH5 SATA 150 controller is supposed to be capable of a 150M/sec transfer rate, but the atacontrol(8) manpage only mentions UDMA2 (aka UDMA33), UDMA4 (aka UDMA66), UDMA5 (aka UDMA100) and UDMA6 (aka UDMA133), which, if I understand these names right, don't provide the full 150M/s transfer rate. The atacontrol utility indicates the drive controller in question is currently using UDMA100. I'm not really familiar with these protocols/standards, so if anyone knows where a 25 cent tour of these can be found, I'd appreciate the pointer. Assuming I am correct about the meaning of the 33/66/100/133 values, does anyone on this list know if (or when) the ata driver will support the full 150M/s transfer rate? Is it possible that the ata(4) write caching could be incompatible with the disks hardware caching mechanisms? I've turned off hw.ata.wc, rebooted, and am currently executing a full port rebuild/reinstall (portupgrade -afR) which should be done some time next year (well, maybe tomorrow). So far so good. I'm going to guess that the disk activity incurred in this would be likely to indicate that the problem is either still around or has been fixed by turning off write caching. I have put the drive through a bios level diagnostic built into newer Dell MoBos (CTRL-ALT-D at the Dell startup logo) and it passed just fine. There is a WDC diagnostic tool I have downloaded and will find a way to use if this happens again, but I think the drive must be fine. Any thoughts, pointers, etc. on ata, atacontrol, UDMA150 support, etc. would be appreciated.

SCSI Shock Advice !
Hi All, Need some quick advice on the following. I recently added an Adaptec 29160N card and an IBM SCSI disc to my server box which previously had just an IDE disc. I cloned the disc using G4U http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ and set SCSI as the first boot device in the BIOS (disabled 2nd,3rd,4th choices) So, now I can boot the kernel however mounts are still referencing the IDE disc so the system is still using the file system on that. I need to use the file system on the SCSI disc. Is this just a case of changing FSTAB ? Or, are there more edits to make ? Also, I have to fess up . . . . When I was about to install the new drive which was sitting on top of the system box I tilted the box to move the disc access LED lead onto the SCSI card. My nice new SCSI disc slid off and hit the MDF worktop - Agh ! I reckon the drop height was about 14 ~ do you think this would have exceed the G Force limit and invalidated my warranty / casued any damage ? The reason for asking is that I never really got up close and personal with a SCSI disc before and it does make some odd noises? Currently there is a frequent one every so often - its two freequencies that last about a second or two each. I have heard many an IDE controller go ticky and its nothing like that - sounds more like some kind of self test or something although its fairly frequent. Also, G4U didnt finish nicely as the SCSI is 36GB and the IDE a 40GB - however the system boots ok - guess I havent even used the FS on it yet though . . . Are there any tests I can do like a surface scan etc ? Any comments appreciated !

I need to use the file system on the SCSI disc. Is this just a case of changing FSTAB ? Or, are there more edits to make ? I don't know about the rest of your possible problem - eg bouncing it on the bench, but you have to correctly reference the devices for the disk. IDE drivea are ad. and SCSI drives are da. eg the first IDE disk, first slice and partition a would be /dev/ad0s1a and the first SCSI, first slice, partition a would be /dev/da0s1a Make a mount point and then you can hand mount it or make an entry in /etc/fstab for it and do mount -a . If you are FreeBSD 4.xxx or earlier you may need to to a MAKEDEV in the /dev/directory for the device cd /dev ./MAKEDEV da0or da4 or whatever number it is. but, if you only have one SCSI disk, that much should already be there. If you are running 5.xxx, then the dev should be created automagically. If you get it right and the disk is working correctly, then that should be all you need - nothing else to edit.

I've got a Intel Pro 100 ve network card to work on a new Dell 4700 - Freebsd 5.2.1
Hello,
I'm posting to this list because I'm not sure who else I should send this info
to. I'd be grateful if someone would let me know the correct procedure.
I've got a new Dell 4700 with P4 2.8 chip on a motherboard with the new Intel
915G Express chipset. It has an intergrated network card, the Intel Pro 100
VE, but it didn't work straight out of the box when I installed Freebsd
5.2.1. I did loads of searches on google and eventually found a post
somewhere giving me an example of what to do. Now the card is detected at
boot and works just fine.
So below is the result. I have added a new line
to /usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c
The new line is marked with +

{ 0, -1, NULL },
};
I have named it rather generally because I couldn't find any other better
identifiers.
Once I recompiled a new kernel the card was detected and ifconfig confirmed
everything to be ok.
I hope this can be added to the source of CURRENT so that others with a new
computer like mine won't have the same weekend's worth of frustration. Still
I got there in the end...almost bought a new network card...persistance pays
off I suppose.
Long subject line I know, but the post should come straight up in google like
that for another lost soul like me.
Thanks

reload rc.conf during boot process
Is it possible to do this somehow? I was trying my hand out at C and made a cool little menu for myself. It looks for files in /etc/ which are named rc.conf.x and lists them in the menu. Then, when you select one on boot, it copies the selected configuration file to rc.conf. I put my program in... the rc.d mount script, so that the disk is mounted writeable at the time and my C program is able to issue cp (bad way I know) to replace rc.conf. After running my program in the rc.d mount script I then did a . /etc/rc.conf but rc.conf doesn't get reloaded. The file is being copied over, as when I reboot it starts using the copied over configuration. I am not sure if . /etc/rc.conf is supposed to load a file in? I just saw it in some other script and assumed that's what it was doing.

You mount the device - actually the : file system in the partition which you are identifying as 'g' which : is in slice '1' on disk 0 (unless it has renumbered the disk to '1' or : something). I guess I don't know exactly how this works. I thought if I mounted the device it would mount all the partitions. But I cannot get to the /usr directory. Each partition is a device.If /usr is in its separate partition then you will need to mount it separately. If it is all in another partition such as root (/) then you need to mount that device and cd to the proper place. You seem to have chopped off the piece that had the partition you were trying to mount from the previous message, but I seem to remember something like ad0s1g. So, cd / mkdir oldusr mount /dev/ad0s1g /oldusr should get you that device/partition mounted and would be accessible starting at /oldusr. I am not real sure about creating the mount point that way with the fixit disk. If it makes a filesystem in memory for root (/), it should work. If not, it may be non-writable so you would have to use an existing mount point such as maybe /mnt if it isn't being used in some other way already. cd / ls -l to see what dirs are hanging around cd /mnt and look around if that one is there. If it is empty, then cd / mount /dev/ad0s1g /mnt Now, if the IDE disk order got shoved around, you may have to do some looking. It might be something like mount /dev/ad1s1g /mnt or whatever it comes up as. You may have to watch boot really closely to see what disk devices are named.But, first try running dmesg | more to see if it will tell you anything useful. Look for IDE devices. I don't know if dmesg will work on a fisit boot though.

Re: SCSI Shock Advice !
Thanks for replies, however I need advise on cloning the IDE to the SCSI disc. G4U did not finish correctly and once I had made changes to fstab and booted the fs I got some pretty severe errors. /usr was inaccessible and I ended up using Freesbie to re-edit fstab to get a booting system. I think the problem is that the SCSI disc is 38GB (only 1.7GB used) and the IDE is 40GB. What is the best / safest way to do a dis clone in this case?

Re: Automating FreeBSD Installation(s)...
I put together a setup for work a while back that make OS installs a breeze and avoids the problem of install differences (we used to do manual installs by the way of step by step documentation). Basically what it consists of is a stripped down kernel that supports whatever hardware we may have, kern and mfsroot images for the distribution in question, and an install.cfg sysinstall config. The scripts either build floppy images for a new machine install that doesn't require user input; or a FreeBSD package that you apply, reboot, and when you log in again the system has a fresh FreeBSD install. The latter comes in handy when reinstalling machines 4000 miles away without any remote hands. :) The sysinstall config lets you specify what type of install you want (kernel source install, X install, etc) or you can build your own. You can also add individual packages. The setup has worked very well for us, a typical install/reinstall takes about 5 minutes.
