Machine doesn't boot after switching from Linux to FreeBSD
I'm trying to switch a Linux system to FreeBSD. I have two existing FreeBSD boxes running on the same kind of hardware and my approach was to rsynch the disk contents from one of those existing configs and just change the IP configuration in /etc/rc.conf. After fdisk, disklabel, and newfs for the disks and the rsync for the data I am left with a system that won't boot. When attempting to boot from the local disks I can't ping the system anymore, when net-booting back into rescue mode I see that nothing was written to /var/messages/log. So, I guess this looks like a bootstrapping problem. The FreeBSD config that I'm rsynching to the new box is FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. Both the existing machine and the new machine have the same kind of disks in them: ar0: 117246MB ATA RAID1 array [14946/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad0: 117246MB Maxtor 6Y120L0 [238216/16/63] at ata0-master PIO4 1 READY ad2: 117246MB Maxtor 6Y120L0 [238216/16/63] at ata1-master The full dmesg output that I get after net-booting from the rescue disk I included on the very bottom of this message. Here is what I did before expecting a bootable machine: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ar0 bs=512 count=32 # fdisk -BI ar0 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ar0s1 bs=512 count=32 # disklabel -w -B ar0s1 auto # disklabel -e ar0s1 # newfs ar0s1a # mount /dev/ar0s1a /mnt ...followed by a rsync to /mnt/ from / of the existing machine ...followed by editing the IP configuration in /mnt/etc/rc.conf ...followed by attempting to boot from the local disks But before I got that far I had some problems for which I found the following work-arounds: Initial problem: # fdisk -BI ar0 fdisk: can't get disk parameters on /dev/ar0; supplying dummy ones *** Working on device /dev/ar0 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size # disklabel -w -B ar0s1 auto cylinders/unit 0 # disklabel -e ar0s1 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument I created a fdisk.conf file as follows: g c14946 h255s63 p 1 165 0 240107490 p 2 0 0 0 p 3 0 0 0 p 4 0 0 0 a 1 ...and tried: # fdisk -f ./fdisk.conf ar0 fdisk: can't get disk parameters on /dev/ar0; supplying dummy ones *** Working on device /dev/ar0 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size I net-booted into the alternative Linux-based rescue disk and did the following with both fdisk /dev/hda and fdisk /dev/hdc in order to get rid of the existing Linux partitioning and setup: Created a new empty DOS partition table: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 14946 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 14946 120053713+ a5 FreeBSD And created a bsd disklabel: Reading disklabel of /dev/hda1 at sector 64. /dev/hda1 contains no disklabel.

How to use my laptop as a link between 2 other boxes
I cannot get my wife's iBook to find my wireless hub. The next best idea is to install 2 cards in my laptop, with one wireless connecting to the gateway, and the other one connected to the iBook. How would I go about setting up the laptop to forward packets from the iBook to the gateway? Is it just as simple as gateway_enable in rc.conf? The only catch would be the wired interface would be dhcp when at work, but statically assigned when at home functioning in this gateway role. jm -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Building world in 5.x vs 4.x?
I'm building a tets machine to explore 5.3 before tackling the job of changing over a production machine from 4-STABLE. I've installed (minimal system) and cvsupd the 5-RELENG sources. I plan on just doing my first 5.x build with the GENERIC kernel. I've looked at the MAKEFIL, and the README in /usr/src. but I still find myself a bit confused about the differences in build methodology. I've used the follwing for years on 4.x: 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). 6. `mergemaster -p' 7. `make installworld' 8. `mergemaster' 9. `reboot' What;s the equivelant set of steps in 5.x? -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AIC7902 and HostRAID support
Hi! I was trying to install a server which has an AIC-7902 as a scsi disk controler on a FreeBSD system. I got troubles cause the 5.2.1 version seems to provide no drivers for HostRAID support. Taking a look at mailing list archives seems that still no support is provided. So I'd like to have questions answered: Is there support for HostRAID on FreeBSD system nowadays? If not, is someone working on it? And if not, does FreeBSD project intend to have HostRAID support?

label with glabel or tunefs
Hi, I am having difficulty why should I need to label a disk? I have read enough to understand the concpets of vinum. But in example at glabel man page a label created for just one disk (ad2). Why do I need to label just one disk? EXAMPLES The following example shows how to set up a label for disk ``da2'', cre- ate a file system on it, and mount it: glabel label -v usr /dev/da2 newfs /dev/label/usr mount /dev/label/usr /usr [...] umount /usr glabel stop usr glabel unload The next example shows how to set up a label for a UFS file system: tunefs -L data /dev/da4s1a mount /dev/ufs/data /mnt/data I think my main issue is with the concept of disk labelization. Why one does need to create /dev/label/xxx or /dev/ufs/xxx instead of standard /dev/ad2s1a .. --- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.EnderUNIX.ORG Software Development Team @ Turkey http://www.Faruk.NET For Public key: http://www.enderunix.org/ofsen/ofsen.asc First Turkish FreeBSD book is out!

Fatal trap 9 on Freebsd 5.3/amd64
Hi, please help. I just upgraded my CPU/mobo to amd64 /Asus A8V delux yesterday. Still running the 32-bit freebsd5.3 , everything worked except the NIC, I thought to myself that probably is because my source is not the latest, from what I understand, this issue has been solved. So with the help from another NIC, I upgraded the system by cvsup. then is make buildworld/buildkernel, etc. After the 2nd reboot into the default mode, my system hang on booting. I disable the ACPI in BIOS and chose 2 when booting, this Fatal trap 9 error showed up with some messages (sorry didn't copy all down), any advice is appreciated. thansk!

Firewall and routing support is built in I've never messed with non-basic routing under either OS, but you're surely aware that FreeBSD has several built-in firewall systems (including OpenBSD's own pf)?

Unless you have a hardware crypto accelerator installed, FreeBSD seems to be several times faster than OpenBSD on the same hardware. That's not a criticism of OpenBSD, but an observation that all that nifty crypto functionality does come at a measurable cost. I would consider replacing FreeBSD with OpenBSD if: 1) I could afford faster hardware, including a crypto accelerator. 2) I don't mind hand-compiling software that hasn't made it into OpenBSD's ports tree. 3) I value security above all else, including performance and easy access to lots of software. I can certainly imagine scenarios where I'd make that choice (credit card databases, domain controllers, etc.) but for the stuff I work with more commonly, FreeBSD is my pick. -- Kirk Strauser pgpADCQRU1Vyq.pgp Description: PGP signature

DISCLAIMER: The question borders on flame-bait, and everything that follows here is my completely subjective opinion; it's here for anyone that finds it useful, may contain errors, and is based completely on my statistically insignificant experience using both systems. I'm not going to advocate one over the other, and I'm not interested in debating the subject. With that said... FreeBSD has excellent security. OpenBSD has proactively rabid security. (Which I don't mean to sound derogatory at all; sometimes it's what's called for.) That being said, your administration of the system is, in all likelihood, going to be a much larger factor than choosing OpenBSD or FreeBSD. Typically, servers only have a few packages and it's not very hard to simply download and compile the software yourself. To me, that mostly negates the advantage of FreeBSD's larger ports tree for a server. OpenBSD has just about every major package you'd expect to use on a server, also. There's also NetBSD's pkgsrc, which a release of will probably work for typical major server packages for either operating system. FreeBSD has imported OpenBSD's packet filter in 5.3. On a stock install of FreeBSD, you can kldload pf and start using it. Like security, excellent networking is a *BSD speciality, and either OS is likely going to satisfy all of your networking needs. I'd say this is another no-go for the list of criteria that actually matter. Here's my opinion of how these OS'es compare for a server. This is all purely subjective and based on my statistically insignificant experience with both OS'es. FreeBSD superior to OpenBSD: Speed (subjectively, FreeBSD is much faster) Documentation More 3rd party support (freshports.org, freebsd-update, freebsd-diary) Ports tree UFS2 (background fsck) Fewer bugs (random, very minor stuff, like terminal emulation; can't remember any gross bugs in OpenBSD or anything like that) 2 year life on extended branches (compared to 1 year for an OpenBSD release) Source upgrades (OpenBSD offers no official support for the procedure, though it may well work.) Better x86 hardware support portaudit OpenBSD superior to FreeBSD: Security Multi-platform support GENERIC kernel supports just about everything Ports tree has neat, easy to use flavors feature Ports tree tied to particular version (almost no broken ports, ever) Encouraged use of binary packages Stringent adherence to license ideology (replace everything possible with BSD licensed equivalents, NDA's never acceptable, etc.) ksh shell in base system with nice tab-completion by default Better marketing (t-shirts, posters) Man pages are absolutely the canonical reference for the system (very high priority) ProPolice stack-smashing protection in the system compiler In a lot of ways, FreeBSD has the profile on an operating system with a larger user-base, and OpenBSD has the profile of an operating system more directed by a single man. (Theo da Raadt.) Each has advantages and disadvantages. FreeBSD has broader support, and OpenBSD has more focus. Theo has an inclination to make things simple for the users and stop them from shooting themselves in the feet, proverbially speaking, and keeping things secure, simple, stable, and working. Things like tweaking compiler options and tripping over your own feet to get your hands on the latest version of some piece of software are generally frowned on. In my experience, the OpenBSD community is much less tolerant of people who do not read the manuals and ask stupid questions. (Which I don't consider a bad thing.) FreeBSD has bigger 3rd party support, and fewer bugs simply because there are more people trying more potentially bug-revealing combinations of hardware and software and more people around to fix them. While you're exploring BSD's, don't forget NetBSD, which makes the comparison yet-more-complicated. ;) Unless you place a really high priority on something, like license-purity, this is largely a question of what you like. And it's hard to say without trying them all. I've spent a lot of time with FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD, and in the end, it's all really a matter of taste.

vinum limits disk size to 255MB
Hi all, I'm trying to set up vinum on a freshly installed FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 box. The system is installed on da0. I want to use three 18G SCSI drives to create a vinum volume. For some reason vinum believes the disks hold a mere 255MB. This is what vinum sets the subdisk length if I specify 0m as the length (meaning use all available space according to the manual). If I specify any larger size manually, vinum complains that there is No space left on device which strikes me odd. I *believe* that the fdisk and bsdlabel outputs reprinted below show that the disks are indeed 18G. According to my math, the appropriate size to specify in the vinum configuration would be 35566215s, that is the number of sectors of the smaller disks minus 265. I see only one minor problem: The disks are not identical, with da1 having a slightly larger capacity than da2 and da3. Can anyone throw me a ring here?

I *believe* that the fdisk and bsdlabel outputs reprinted below show that the disks are indeed 18G. According to my math, the appropriate size to specify in the vinum configuration would be 35566215s, that is the number of sectors of the smaller disks minus 265. I see only one minor problem: The disks are not identical, with da1 having a slightly larger capacity than da2 and da3. Can anyone throw me a ring here? You don't say whether you're using vinum or gvinum. I've never seen this problem before, but if you're getting incorrect subdisk sizes, try specifying them explicitly: sd length 35840952s drive ibma I wonder whether the problem is related to specifying the size as 0m instead of 0. It shouldn't be. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients.

make buildworld failing
While trying to update to 5.3 stable, buildworld errors out on me. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p11. Following is part of the output, if you need more output please let me know. No luck looking up the errors in google, so your help is appreciated. Things I've tried: deleing /usr/obj, running make cleandir twice. Cleandir wouldn't work so I had to run it like this: make cleandir -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE If I just ran make cleandir it would error out with: +for: not found. Not sure if this is related.

If I label disks from within sysinstall and on the command line, one tool apparently doesn't know what the other is doing. This must be a gross misunderstanding on my side of how these tools work. Using bsdlabel to set the partition sizes apparently is not sufficient. To make a long story short, I went back to sysinstall, created a partition using the full disk, then went to bsdlabel -e to turn the partition into type vinum. Now I get the full capacity. I still can't make a raid5 out of these drives. I'm still fiddling and will get back to the list if I can't figure this out myself. Thanks anyway for your prompt answer.

vinum raid5: newfs throws an error
Hi all, now that I can use the full capacity of my disks, I'm stuck again. I'm trying to set up a raid5 from three SCSI disks (I know that a serious raid5 should use five disks or more, but I have to make do with three at the moment). The configuration is as follows: drive ibma device /dev/da1s1e drive ibmb device /dev/da2s1e drive ibmc device /dev/da3s1e volume raid5 setupstate plex org raid5 512k sd length 0m drive ibma sd length 0m drive ibmb sd length 0m drive ibmc This works ok. Then I run vinum init to initialize the drives. Trying to create a filesystem on this construct results in the error message: newfs: wtfs: 65536 bytes at sector 71130688: Input/output error Is that trying to tell me that my calculation of the group size is incorrect? Does it have to do anything with the fact that the three disks have slightly different capacities? Vinum reports the disk sizes as 17500MB (da1) and 17359MB (da2, da3). The raid5 volume and plex have a size of 33GB. BTW creating a concatenated volume on the same disks works ok, newfs does not throw an error here. Any help is appreciated.

Does it have to do anything with the fact that the three disks have slightly different capacities? There was once an error in the stripe size calculations that meant that there were holes in the plexes. Maybe it's still there (old Vinum is not being maintained). But you should have seen that in the console messages at create time. Vinum reports the disk sizes as 17500MB (da1) and 17359MB (da2, da3). The raid5 volume and plex have a size of 33GB. This looks like the kind of scenario where that could happen. Try this: 1. First, find a better stripe size. It shouldn't be a power of 2, but it should be a multiple of 16 kB. I'd recommend 496 kB. This won't fix the problem, but it's something you should do anyway 2. Calculate the length of an exact number of stripes, and create the subdisks in that length. Try again and see what happens. 3. Use gvinum instead of vinum and try both ways. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients.

VINUM Disaster Recovery
I have a 10 disk VINUM configuration and two of the disks are trashed. In theory there is still enough redundant information to get things working again without data loss. Vinum has detected a configuration error (duh -- two disks are toast, plus in recovery I accidently created two more plexes) and taken upon itself to stop configuration updates to prevent any further corruption (thanks! :-). At this point I have looked at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html and have run a command like the following: ( dd if=/dev/da9s1e skip=8 count=50 | tr -d '\000-\011\200-\377' ; echo ) da9s1e.log on all 10 disks to obtain a file containing each disk's on-disk configuration. As hoped, eight of the disks show an output similar to the attached file da1s1e.log (differing only as expected in the first line). See attached flog file for a sample output. PLEASE HELP CONFIRM MY PLAN (FOLLOWING) FOR PROCEEDING -- I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING DISASTEROUS. My thought is that I need to turn on updates, then delete the two unwanted plexes raid.p2 and raid.p3(which were accidentally created), detach the corrupt sdisks, and then hopefully VINUM will forget about the two disks that are toast (or do I somehow have to tell VINUM to forget the disks?). My plan is as follows: First, selectively start vinum: vinum - read /dev/da1s1e /dev/da2s1e /dev/da3s1e /dev/da4s1e /dev/da5s1e /dev/da6s1e /dev/da7s1e /dev/da8s1e Second, enable configuration updates: vinum-setdaemon 0 Third, save the configuration: vinum-saveconfig Fourth, stop and remove the two unwanted plexes and all attached subdisks: vinum-stop -f raid.p3 vinum-stop -f raid.p2 vinum-rm -r raid.p3 vinum-rm -r raid.p2 Fifth, stop and detach the corruped subdisks: vinum-stop -f raid.p0.s0 vinum-stop -f raid.p0.s9 vinum-stop -f raid.p1.s4 vinum-stop -f raid.p1.s5 vinum-detach raid.p0.s0 vinum-detach raid.p0.s9 vinum-detach raid.p1.s4 vinum-detach raid.p1.s5 At this point I expect to have a functional volume that can be mounted and backed up, prior to the next step of reinstalling the crashed disks, creating new subdisks, attaching them to the plexes, and resynching.
