Avoid tar for Dell PowerVault 100T DAT 72 tape drive?
Hello All, The user's guide for the Dell PowerVault 100T DAT 72 tape drive recommends against using tar (see quoted text below). Does anyone have any experience with this product and can advise whether we should avoid tar? Thank you for your help. Note: please note that my email address has changed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Tom BEGIN QUOTE Drivers for Microsoft® Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server for your tape drive are included on the CD that came with your drive. You will need tape backup software that supports the Dell PowerVault tape drive. Note that native backup applications (for example, the UNIX .tar command) generally do not provide the required data streaming rate to get the full performance out of your tape drive. Dell recommends using a backup application that provides improved memory management as well as other useful features, such as TapeAlert. Suitable products that have been tested with Dell PowerVault 100T DAT 72 tape drives are listed below. Yosemite TapeWare® 7.0SP3B (or later) for Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, Novell® NetWare® and Red Hat® Linux® VERITAS® Backup Exec 9.1 (or later) for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server, Backup Exec 9.1 (or later) for Novell® NetWare® END QUOTE -- Tom Oak [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ext2fs cannot be umounted
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and have compiled my kernel with optinion: options EXT2FS In my /etc/fstab I have added: /dev/ad0s6 /mnt/debian ext2fs rw 0 0 to mount my debian box. everything works fine except one thing: Shutting down via shutdown -p now ends up in the message: syncing discs, buffer remaining 403938383838383838383 .giving up on 38 This means that FreeBSD is not able to umount/sync the mounted partition clearly. I have tried in /etc/fstab also the sync option but it ends up with the syncing discs giving up error message. Only if I umount the ext2fs partition gives me a clean shutdown. What can be done or how can I force the system to umount ext2fs partition before shutting down?

bind: 5.3-BETA7 and ddns
With the new bind-9.3 and related infrastructure (chroot env. etc), what
is the advised layout for updatable zones?
If you add allow-update {acl;}; in one of your master zones, the named
daemon must be able both to write the zone file and to create the
journal file, two things which cannot be be accomplished with the
current permission settings.

you can export CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 and have the terminal sequences redirected too.

/etc/fstab`
and then
for vol in ${vols}; do
echo $vol
done
output is separeted by space, but i want $2 and $3 to be in one row so I

FreeBSD 4.X and Intel E7520 chipset problems

Once set up, the vpn can allow samba traffic to your home machines, allow you to map drives in winALL, etc. Quite a bit more secure than just allowing samba through your public interface too...

Maple troubles with SMP
Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE on a hyperthreaded i386 processor. My kernel has SMP enabled, and with sysctl machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0, top shows two logical cpu's up and running. Works fine. Now I have some weird experiences running Maple 9.5 (with Linux emulation). When sysctl machdep.hlt_logical_cpus is set to 0, Maple won't start. I get the splash screen, but it hangs forever (top shows a java process eating all cpu time). It takes a kill -9 to stop it. When machdep.hlt_logical_cpus is set to 1 (single cpu), Maple starts fine, I can enter commands and everything works ok (except the help function, it crashes very often). When I set the sysctl back to 0, Maple gets very unstable when I enter further commands. Sometimes it hangs (without any cpu action like before), sometimes it crashes, very unpredictable behaviour really. Does anyone have any clue about what is happening? And about who is to blame, FreeBSD's SMP code, Maple, or maybe the Linux emulation code?

The concern they have is valid, as tar defaults to using a tiny block size (512 or 2048 bytes, depending), which will cause the tape drive to start and stop rather than stream. Fortunately, you can either pipe tar into dd to change the blocksize, or else change the blocksize to something larger using the -b (--block-size for gnutar) option. For what it's worth, I've been using a blocksize of 126 (* 512, or 63K) with DLT drives for years now.

Re: Email redirects
I need to accept an email to a specific address, then forward it to several several external addresses. virtusertable will do that for a single recipient. Is there a way to do that for multiple recipients? That is what list server utilities such as majordomo or mailman are for. THey do it quite well. But, if your need is rather small and you don't want to bother with them, you can make a poor man's list server by creating an alias in /etc/mail/aliases that points to an include file or even a program for processing. The alias entry would look something like: aliasname: :include:/work/mlists/aliasname-list Then put the addresses you want to forward to in that file which in the example is:/work/mlists/aliasname-list The syntax of the file is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fred Friendly) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sam Sneaky) ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sandy Keathley) You can leave off the parenthesized name if you want. Then when you send a message addressed to that [EMAIL PROTECTED] the message will be repeated to every address in the list file with the parenthesized name as the to name if you put one there. The only problems with this method are: You basically have to maintain it by hand. List server packages have tools for that built in. Without doing something extra, there is no checking on who can send to that list. So, some spammer could also send a message to it. If it is small and local, mostly spammers don't pick up on it though. You can write your own check to make sure the messages are coming from someone you want to use the list. But, it wouldn't take much extra programming to make it easier to just install mailman or majordomo. jerry Thanks, Sandy Keathley ___ [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]
Re: Email redirects
I need to accept an email to a specific address, then forward it to several several external addresses. virtusertable will do that for a single recipient. Is there a way to do that for multiple recipients? Sure, you could dump it to an alias (/etc/mail/aliases) which contains several users in it's list, or simply put a .forward file in the users /home directory, and add each email address that it is going to on separate lines, which would forward the mail to that user to all recipients listed in the .forward file.

That sounds like what I need, but I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean an alias that is then picked up by the aliases file for forwarding? Yes, you have virtusertable point the message to an alias on the local machine. Email to that specific address gets accepted and delivered locally. As part of local delivery, alias expansion will occur, resending the message to all of the external addresses listed in the alias. Per se, that's not using forwarding in the specific sense of creating a local user account and a .forward file, but you could solve the problem in that fashion if you really want to. [ Likewise, using a mailing list to expand an email send to one address to a whole list of people is not using forwarding exactly, either, but mailing lists can be used to solve the problem you were asking about quite well. ] -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't be 100% sure because I haven't done this kind of thing myself, but I don't see why port forwarding should interfere with Apache's name-based virtual hosting. After all, they operate on different layers of the OSI model: port forwarding is purely TCP business while VirtualHosts are HTTP. Indeed. This sounds like something isn't wuite right with the Apache setup. Lars, have you tried accessing the webserver from your private network, localhost, with/without the firewall enabled. Does that make any difference or do you get the same result each time? You could also try setting LogLevel debug in httpd.conf and see what errors (if any) you are getting. It's probably best though if you post the VirtualHost section of your httpd.conf. Hope this helps.

Sincerely, Newton - Curitiba - Brazil Coming from a DOS, then Windows, then god knows how many linux distributions, I was quite fond of the FreeBSD installer. I find it straightforward and easy to navigate and get done quickly. First time I ever installed a FreeBSD system it took me 15 minutes from putting the cd in, booting it, installing and rebooting back into a running OS. Your problems if I am reading what you are saying correctly seem to stem greatly from X. Well, X is a buggy installer and should be tackled outside of the FreeBSD installer anyway. The installer imo is just that. It installs an OS. Anything extra should done by hand or that applications specific config routines. The minimal installer FreeBSD uses makes its installing on low end systems easier and quicker also. I recommened you do a bare minimal base install, and then hand built or package add everything you require afterwards. This is how I have done things now for the past 4 years on everything I have installed it on and have been most happy this way.

Ahh, you're trying to install a Perl module -- which, as luck would have

I did not know you could install Perl module's through the ports.
Thank you, Christopher, Erik, Paul, Donald, and everyone else that
replied.
Bottom line: due to the fact that I did not know you could install
Perl module's via the ports, I got involved in an area (Perl) which I
am not at all familiar with. In my own defence, I have just searched
the FreeBSD site, the Handbook (and the ports section), and there is
no mention that you can install Perl modules from the ports, instead
of going the CPAN route.
I am familiar with the ports, and think very highly of them, but I
have never worked with an application which required an additional
Perl module. But, now I know where to look.
Anyway, I have learnt a great deal and hopefully this helps someone
else in the future.

IP address assignment over two interfaces
Hi, I have two network interfaces in my laptop, rl0 and an0. rl0 is my onboard Ethernet adapter and an0 is a Cisco wireless PCMCIA card. When I'm at home, there are often times in which I may wish to switch from wireless to wired for performance reasons when transferring files over my LAN. Unfortunately the process to do this, as far as I know, is rather awful. My wireless network is configured with a WEP key and a passphrase. As a result I have attempted to simplify my life by creating a script that I execute when my system boots. It checks to see if my hard-wired ethernet has an IP address, and if not, it grabs one via the wireless card (and sets up the WEP key etc): -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/adam]$ cat /usr/local/bin/wireless #!/bin/sh # Check to see if we have an Ethernet address on the physical port if ifconfig rl0 | grep 0.0.0.0 then killall dhclient ifconfig an0 wepmode on wepkey mywepkey ssid myssid dhclient an0 mount /data fi -- It kills dhclient, because I can't run two instances of it at once. This works rather well at the moment, however if I want to switch back from wireless to wired, I have to kill dhclient, config my wireless with 'ifconfig an0 0.0.0.0' and then re-run 'dhclient rl0'. That's really annoying. What I'd like to accomplish is to be able to switch between these two cards automatically. Preferably, I'd like to use wireless as a 'backup' to wired, so that if I am hardwired in, wireless just shouldn't bother trying to obtain an IP address. If I unplug my Ethernet connection, wireless should sync up and take over operations. I was inspired by OS/X's sweetness. It does exactly that; switches between the two interfaces magically. I want some of that sweet stuff. Any idea if the FreeBSD OS itself has any underlying capability for this kind of thing (some sort of Interface watching daemon?) Also, if I configured DHCP to assign the same IP address to both my wireless and wired interfaces, that would possibly mean that any TCP sessions that I have open will stay open, which is really, really cool.

m0n0wall not booting after switch to mdconfig
Hello, As of yesterday I stopped using m0n0image by Michael I and took most of the commands from m0n0image and the hackers guide, along with the FreeBSD handbook, and tried to write a new shell script that worked with mdconfig. The shell script works great. It can successfully decompress an image and recompress an image without any errors. However, whenever I boot from an image that the shell script creates, it doesn't load. The boot up process stops at the kernel loading and it says it can't find kernel or kernel.old. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right. Maybe there's one mistake I'm completely missing. Could someone please look at it and let me know? Shell script is attached.

ipfw - denying all - what port for OE
I am attempting to block everything except ports 80, 110, 25 and a few others, but I can't seem to get Outlook Express mail clients to collect mail on the network. Does anyone happen to know what ports they use? I have tried 110, 25, 443 and about 20 others. I tried using tcpdump to track the activity when I have all ports open and use OE, but it seems to use a different port each time: ports like 2843 and other non-allocated port numbers. -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
