Re: Received mail timestamp is off by 7 hours

Re: Question, is there any way or program that will let youclone/image a FreeBSD system
Hi Andrew, Is there any way to do? I have read about with g4u, dd, dump/restore but they do not seems to be able to do create the clone/image on a secondary attached hard disk drive. g4u has definitely the ability to copy to another disk: --- 4.4 Copying a disk locally If you just want to copy one local disk to another one with no network server involved, the copydisk command is what you want. E.g. to copy the first IDE disk to the second IDE disk, use copydisk wd0 wd1, to do the same for SCSI disks run copydisk sd0 sd1. Beware! All data on the target disk will be erased!

Re: Constant mysterious SCSI errors
Dan Nelson writes: Try lowering the max tags for that drive: camcontrol tags da0 -N 32. Tried it. I still get the same error; it doesn't seem to have diminished.

There doesn't seem to be any data loss. The rest of the system continues to run (it's a 2-processor system, so I don't know if one of the processors is halted when this happens). The problem only seems to arise when there is heavy disk activity. If that works, you can stick it in rc.local, or add an entry to the xpt_quirk_table[] in /sys/cam/cam_xpt.c . It probably needs something similar to the quantum quirk lines. The change to cam_spt.c requires a rebuild of the kernel, right?

Reseat all the plugs :) Well, there haven't been any cabling or termination problems in the past eight years, so it seems unlikely that they've appeared today. I think I can safely rule out any type of actual hardware problem. It's either a software configuration problem or a software bug (which might mean a quirk, I suppose). (Note also that these two drives and the controller are on the internal connector of the controller, and although the controller provides an external connector, too, there's nothing connected to it--which further makes cabling or termination problems unlikely.) -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Which app to watch movies?

Normally you set it to the time zone the machine is actually in (though for remote servers one can set it for the time zone the machine actually serves). Time zone can also influence the changeover dates and times for Daylight Saving Time, if that is used (if you're in Arizona, it's not).

Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3

I was really stupid, in that, I had a years technical support from Mathwords, but kind of gave up because their suggestions got me nowhere and it was quicker just to use a pirated copy on windows than follow their suggestions when really that was the perfect opportunity to continually badger them; since I was paying for it they were obliged to respond...

glabel - refuses to label = g partitions
If I do:
glabel label somelabel /dev/ad1s1g
geom_label labels /dev/ad1 instead of /dev/ad1s1g[1]. However
labeling /dev/ad1s1{a,b,d,e,f} worked fine. But /dev/ad1s1{g,h}
does not (and probably not the rest above h either).
Any idea what to do about it?
I did some cursory checks to make sure that the glabel tool does
not mangle the name of the device. The name does seem to propagate down
unmangled all the way to g_metadata_clear() and g_metadata_store().
After that I'm not sure how the changes are picked up by the
kernel, so I stopped.
[1] I.e., glabel list reports what you would expect after
a glabel somename /dev/ad1, and the kernel log contains:
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad1 is label/somelabel

Change MAC address of LAN card in rc.conf. How?
Hi, I'm running 5.3 STABLE. I need to change the MAC address of my PC. I know it can be done like this: ifconfig rl0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66 So I guessed I could make life a little easier by adding this in my /etc/rc.conf file as: ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.123.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66 However, this does not seem to work. No IP address is assigned to the LAN card after bootup. Apparently something is wrong here. Any idea how I can do this at bootup? Thanks, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The only thing to watch running wall_cmos_clock is that if you boot to single user mode, before /etc/rc has run 'adjkerntz -i' the system will assume CMOS is UTC, so any files then modified show timestamps in UTC (discovered the hard way in Jan 2000 on a box with a broken y2k BIOS :) Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Kernel/Userland Mem-Space Tuning (1/3 on IA32)
Hello. I read about address space division of recent operating systems like Linux and Windows XP. In both cases, the whole address space of the 32 or 64 Bit system is divided into halfes, 2GB for kernel, 2 GB for process(es) (speaking in 32Bit words). The same in 64bit systems like AMD64. Those who happily utilize an AMD64 based machine are not (yet) involved by this problem, but on recent 32 Bit architectures someone can run out of process space, like me! Some geophysical modelling software needs more than the allowed 2GB address space and therefore I would like to ask whether FreeBSD (my preferred OS) has a 'knob' to change the kernel/userland parity of the address space like it is done in Windows with a special knob at boot time (/W3GB I think, but I'm not sure about the exakt syntax but I know someone can change the half by half parity towards 1 to 3 in XP). I'm not sure whether FreeBSD divides kernel/userland address space this way, I know Linux and Windows does and on Windows we changed this (not yet on Linux and not yet on our FreeBSD machines (OS version 5.0, mostly FreeBSD 5.3-R or 5.4-PRERELEASE). Any help is appreciated. FreeBSD divides the 32bit virtual address space with 1GB for the kernel and 3GB for user processes.

The manual seems to cover complex solutions and may be somewhat behind the times. The handbook is pretty up to date (I just looked at it). I would suggest you ignore the section that describes 'ccd'. It is easier to set up than vinum but I have found the current implementation of ccd to be unreliable. If you are using FreeBSD 5.x (hopefully 5.3), use gvinum instead of vinum. It works the same way (commands and options) as vinum but (from what I understand) it has some improvements. I guess what I am looking for is a howto couched in such a way that even a windows user can understand :-). I assume you have physically installed your two disks (ad3, ad4). If you have not done so yet, use fdisk(8) to create a single slice (what Windows calls a partition). This can also be done through sysinstall Also, if you have not done so yet, use bsdlabel(8) to create a FreeBSD partition (no Windows equivalent). Be sure to set the 'fstype' to 'vinum'. At this stage I will assume that you have set up your two disks so that you have ad3s1a and ad4s1a as the slices you wish to use for vinum. I think you can do this with sysinstall as well. NOTE: you do not need to use newfs to create the filesystem, that would happen after you have setup your RAID volumes. Create a file, we will call it gvinum.conf and put the following into it: # Define the FreeBSD Partitions to be used for Vinum drive a device /dev/ad3s1a drive b device /dev/ad4s1a # # Define each volume/plex/subdisk volume home # home volume plex org concat# concatinated plex (1st half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive a # 1st subdisk of concatinated plex plex org concat# concatinated plex (2nd half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive b # 1st subdisk of 2nd concatinated plex Now, use the vinum(8) 'create' command to set things up using the configuration file. You should now have a /dev/gvinum/home device. You can newfs it, mount it, and add it to your /etc/fstab. newfs /dev/gvinum/home mount /dev/gvinum/home /home Any suggestions please. Do read and try to understand chapter 17 of the FreeBSD handbook if you want to get into software RAID. Rob, you really need to understand how software RAID works if you want to take advantage of it. When you have a disk failure, you need to know what to do to recover your data. In order to do that you really need to understand how the software RAID works. You may want to consider setting up a seconds FreeBSD partition on each of your two new disks so that you can fiddle with RAID and figure out how to recover from a disk failure. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have no problem installing or upgrading OpenSSH from ports. Indeed, that's all I know how to do. It's generally the best option for people who need to upgrade to the latest version string, such as for satisfying corporate security experts. Beyond that, the only real use of ports upgrades is for people who insist on staying with older base versions. My question is how to upgrade OpenSSH as included with 5.2.1. If a ports install will do this, great. It will. The more general question is how to upgrade system software, especially in cases where it's not included in the ports collection. There are several answers, but the usual one is to update the entire base system. FreeBSD is designed to be a complete operating system, rather than to be updated piecemeal; the advantage is that you don't have to worry about dependencies between the pieces, but the disadvantage is that, well, you have to update everything at once. In the case of people still running 5.2.1, I'd definitely recommend updating the whole thing -- after all, 5.2.1 wasn't recommended for production use at the time it was released, and 5.3 was. Another answer is the FreeBSD-update port (security/freebsd-update), but it doesn't support custom kernels. If you're updating because of a security problem that had a security advisory issued for it, then the advisory will generally include patches and directions for applying and building them. Doing this for arbitrary sets of code updates is usually possible, but difficult for anyone who doesn't have developer-level understanding of source code control.

Optimising FreeBSD
Hi all, I'm still fairly new to this, so I hope you all don't mind another question. Actually, several questions First let me explain what I have, then what I want to do. I have 2 machines which I want to run FreeBSD on. So far I have set one of them up, a P-II machine, as a file print server. Next set up a P-III machine for day to day use as a workstation. Since neither of these machines are particularly powerful I want to be able to optimise the performance of them both. I don't mind sitting and waiting for compiles now it if means better performance later. Particularly on the workstation as I will be doing some fairly intensive things on it (eg multimedia). So on the P-II machine I installed 5.3-RELEASE with no problems. I then re-built the kernel with the I686_CPU option set and a load of unnecessary drivers removed. This saved about 4MB right away. I then used CVSup to update the ports and installed Samba and one or two others. I thought I was doing pretty well since I can print and read files from both Windows and other *NIX machines, but I have since realised that I probably don't have the best optimisations in place. Having spent some more time reading the handbook and various bits on the web I think I know what to do, but would really appreciate some independent confirmation. First, I think I need to edit the /etc/make.conf file. This is what I think I should have in place: CPUTYPE ?= p2 # or p3 on my workstation CFLAGS = -O -pipe # O2 and above not recommended? COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe I am not sure I understand the difference between CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS. Am I right in saying that COPTFLAGS is used for kernel builds and CFLAGS is used for everything else? If so, should they be set the same, or can I safely increase the -O setting in CFLAGS? Is there anything else I need to set? Assuming the settings above are right, now I guess I can rebuild my kernel again without changing the configuration but I should now have p2 specific code? Is there anything in the kernel config file I need to check? Do I even need to rebuild since I had the I686_CPU setting? Next I guess I need to re-build the rest of the userland apps. Is it simply a case of building world, or do I have to go through the whole upgrade procedure as described in the Handbook? I want to stick to -RELEASE, does this change (bug/security fixes)? If so, how do I update? I can see CVSup config files for -CURRENT and -STABLE, but not for -RELEASE. I guess the last step is to recompile the ports I have installed. Is there a quick way to rebuild just the ports I have installed or do I need to go through them all one by one and 'make install clean' them? Anything else I have missed? Sorry for so many questions in one go!

You probably hit a file under /dev/ and caused grep to hang. It's
possible that as root, certain device files might hang the system,

it. Also, think about what happens when grep hit's /dev/zero. It
will never finish.
Would using -I option (not search text-like files) help to avoid
above described hang ups in /dev?
No, it still searches all files, it just doesn't print the usual line
that it matched, only whether there was success or not. You really just
need to make sure grep never goes into /dev. Since your running 5.x,
/dev is it's own filesystem of a unique type, so the following command
will run grep on only filesystems of type ufs, which won't include
network filesystems, or /dev:
find / -fstype ufs -exec grep -H something {} \;

((filesystem, inode #), (list of filenames linking to inode #)) Each of those mappings could be done and displayed by a single utility. Combining all three into a lba2filenames program would then be trivial. Perhaps there's already a system utility or port for this? It would be really useful!

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 - Raid

I have backed this up so I am not too concerned about drive failure. I have now added 2, 250 Gbyte drives (ad3 and ad4) to hold data. I would like to mirror them using sofware raid and mount them as /home to hold the users data which is critical. I have read the manual and searched the web for a simple way to do the above. The manual seems to cover complex solutions and may be somewhat behind the times. The handbook is pretty up to date (I just looked at it). What confused me is that it did not seem to cover GEOM which came up during my searches. I would suggest you ignore the section that describes 'ccd'. It is easier to set up than vinum but I have found the current implementation of ccd to be unreliable. If you are using FreeBSD 5.x (hopefully 5.3), use gvinum instead of vinum. It works the same way (commands and options) as vinum but (from what I understand) it has some improvements. I am using 5.3. I guess what I am looking for is a howto couched in such a way that even a windows user can understand :-). I assume you have physically installed your two disks (ad3, ad4). If you have not done so yet, use fdisk(8) to create a single slice (what Windows calls a partition). This can also be done through sysinstall Also, if you have not done so yet, use bsdlabel(8) to create a FreeBSD partition (no Windows equivalent). Be sure to set the 'fstype' to 'vinum'. At this stage I will assume that you have set up your two disks so that you have ad3s1a and ad4s1a as the slices you wish to use for vinum. I think you can do this with sysinstall as well. NOTE: you do not need to use newfs to create the filesystem, that would happen after you have setup your RAID volumes. Create a file, we will call it gvinum.conf and put the following into it: # Define the FreeBSD Partitions to be used for Vinum drive a device /dev/ad3s1a drive b device /dev/ad4s1a # # Define each volume/plex/subdisk volume home # home volume plex org concat # concatinated plex (1st half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive a # 1st subdisk of concatinated plex plex org concat # concatinated plex (2nd half of mirror) sd length 8192m drive b # 1st subdisk of 2nd concatinated plex Now, use the vinum(8) 'create' command to set things up using the configuration file. You should now have a /dev/gvinum/home device. You can newfs it, mount it, and add it to your /etc/fstab. newfs /dev/gvinum/home mount /dev/gvinum/home /home Any suggestions please. Do read and try to understand chapter 17 of the FreeBSD handbook if you want to get into software RAID. Rob, you really need to understand how software RAID works if you want to take advantage of it. When you have a disk failure, you need to know what to do to recover your data. In order to do that you really need to understand how the software RAID works. You may want to consider setting up a seconds FreeBSD partition on each of your two new disks so that you can fiddle with RAID and figure out how to recover from a disk failure. Ean, Many many thanks for your explanation. I do take your points regarding understanding how the raid works before providing it for users.

Re: Matlab on FreeBSD 5.3
I just got it to work, thanks to the encouragement of Santo Natale. One thing is the architechture, to fix this you can edit the matlab binary, which is actually a script gvim /usr/local/bin/matlab or whatever if you read down you will see some stuff about ARCH_LIST go down below the fucntion check_archlist and at the bottom of it you will see two conditionals that say: ARCH= change these to ARCH=glnx86 or whatever your architechture is (it might be that you only need to change one, but this isn't important) Then another thing to make sure is that your hostname is set the same as the SERVER line in your matlab license manager file so if my hostname was dork, then it would say SERVER dork ID=XXX where you replace XXX with your user ID you also have to make sure that you setup your options file properly in your license file you should have a line like: DAEMON MLM /compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/lm_matlab options=/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/etc/MLM.opt and in MLM.opt it needs to say: INCLUDE MATLAB USER blah where blah is your user, note that I'm assuming you have a standalone license make sure you leave a blank line after the INCLUDE line, I know, sounds dumb but otherwise it doesn't work. then you just start the flexlm (not as root) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/flexlm.sh start and then start matlab underthe user you were configured for matlab and it should work... well I only just got it working so hopefully everything works. thanks cali ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How can I cut and paste from xterm _into_ another program ?
Hi, I am using a very vanilla XFree86 installation on fbsd 5.3. I am using ratpoison as my window manager. If I highlight text in an xterm, it is immediately in my buffer, and I can paste it into that xterm, or any other xterm. Further, if I copy text in my web browser, I can paste it into all my xterms. However, I cannot take text that I copied in my xterm and paste it into my browser (opera). Why is this ? Why can I go in one direction (paste from opera into xterm) but not the other (paste from xterm into opera) ? thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Odd message from cron daemon
Roland Smith writes: Could it be that the cron output is mailed to someone else on the production machine? I checked my aliases and stuff and sent some test messages to operator, and they get through okay. Apparently it's not happening on my production box, only on the test box.

Interjet requires warm reboot from 5.x boot loader?
When warm/cold booting an Interjet under FreeBSD 5.2.1 or 5.3 (vanilla installs), kernel loading fails. The only workaround I've figured out so far is to reboot from the boot loader OK prompt, as shown below. I'm not skilled in the hardware troubleshooting arena, so I'm stumped. I've searched for others with this problem, and they seem to be clearly related to things like booting from bad floppies, etc -- but my instinct is that this would mean that booting would always fail. Also, I can warm boot without power-cycling (with shutdown, for example) and I get the same error until I reboot from OK. I thought that it might be some kind of hard-drive spin-up or delay issue, but I haven't been able to locate anything in the loader configs to create a delay to test this theory. Unfortunately, since cold-booting always fails, this makes the boxes unusable every time they take a power hit or reboot for some other reason.

I have one piece of advice, if you're using the if_ndis module don't build it with custom CPUTYPE values. In my experience doing so can stop it working. See the below post I made: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2005-January/ 002172.html It's not too difficult to build that one module with the default CPUTYPE and still use a custom value for the rest, and doing so hasn't caused me any problems. -- - Adam McMaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's no need for [one of] the exact reason[s] that has you already sold on packages instead of ports. There's nothing excess [much] in a binary package. If you're install via ports, you get a source tarball that d'loads to /ports/distfiles, then is uncompressed and untarred to a work subdir in the port directory, where all the ' config/make/make install happens. If you `make install clean` the port, this subdir is `rm`ed after installation. If you `make distclean` the source tarball is removed, also. [0] if you mean, by pull the index from an ftp site cd /usr/ports make index I meant running /stand/sysinstall and selecting an FTP site as the installation media for the software. It always downloads some sort of index when I do that, which I assume is an up-to-date list of all the ports available. Being somewhat of a newvie, I should probably not be saying anything, but that's the assumption that nailed you. If I understand the situation correctly, what you got was information on *packages* available when the OS version was released, a subset of available ports. And this time around, that list was not in a totally self-consistent state. I wrote two [one rather long] post[s] yesterday on this. The conclusion I drew is that you get an Index coinciding with the 'Release Name' you have set under sysinstall's Configure - Options menu. As I do my ports work in terminals instead of via sysinstall, I can't say *for certain*, and no one authoritative has stepped forward to confirm or deny my hypothesis. If you can set this to an appropriate value, you should get a useable list of packages My own experiences have given me a definite bias toward using the ports system to compile stuff to be added to my system rather than going with the binary packages. I get the impression that many port maintainers who are fairly careful about keeping their port versions workable and patched only give a relative lick and promise to their packages. -LenZ- While I share your bias towards the ports tree, I think that this final impression might be wrong?. Kris Kennaway et al have a rather extensive system for automated package-building. built very regularly (see http://pointyhat.freebsd.org). Of course, they don't control the source of all those ports, so I guess it's possible that if some maintainers have their software in a broken or buggy state when a set of packages is built for a RELEASE, there's not much that can be done about it at the time. I'm sure that maintainers are notified a few times before a RELEASE in order to get their affairs in order, but that doesn't mean that they do, or that it's FBSD's fault if they don't. I guess if you knew the URI of a recently built package from the Project's bento cluster, (or whatever it's called), you could use pkg_add against that address and get something newer if you wanted to.
